The story of "Covering the Sky" begins with checking in with the Void Emperor's Blood

"The alliance between the two factions is no small matter."

Despite the expectant gazes of those around her, Yan Ruyu remained cautious.

After a moment's thought, she spoke, "May I ask the elders in my clan before making a decision?"

Elders within the clan?

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised.

Given their cautious nature, it's normal that they didn't agree immediately. But since they still have elders in their clan, how did they end up being hunted down and needing to seek protection from others?

Or is this just an excuse?

Various thoughts flashed through Chen Yu's mind, but his expression remained unchanged. He simply smiled and nodded, "Of course, it's fine."

"I feel guilty for trespassing here. Please accept this old herb as a token of my gratitude."

He took out a mahogany box and opened it in front of Yan Ruyu, revealing a precious medicinal herb inside.

The moment the box was opened, a medicinal fragrance wafted out. Just smelling it gave one a sense of tranquility and ease, as if absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"It's a precious medicine that has grown for at least ten thousand years!"

"Such a precious medicine must have astonishing effects, enough to build an excellent foundation!"

The old demon women around them stared at the precious medicine, their eyes suddenly lighting up, and their bodies almost moved involuntarily.

Such a precious medicine would normally be fought over even by powerful figures, yet it is being given away as a gift.

Even ancient aristocratic families wouldn't be this extravagant, would they?

That's what they were thinking.

Even Yan Ruyu was greatly surprised at this moment.

The Azure Emperor lineage had long since declined, and similar precious medicines were now extremely rare within the Big Dipper.

Given her status, she would never have even seen such a precious medicine, let alone possess it.

Now it's being given away as a gift?

Having accepted the precious medicine, she wanted to reciprocate, but she was saddened to discover that the Azure Emperor's lineage could no longer even produce a decent spiritual item.

Things like magical artifacts still exist, but spiritual objects of comparable value to this precious herb are truly hard to find.

"It's just an apology for my impulsive actions earlier, Your Highness, please don't overthink it."

Chen Yu, who was standing in front of her, seemed to have noticed Yan Ruyu's predicament. He spoke softly, indicating that she should not think too much about it.

"Then I won't refuse."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "This precious herb is very important to me. Thank you very much, fellow Daoist."

She expressed her sincere gratitude, then instructed someone to carefully entertain Chen Yu before leaving alone in a hurry.

She went deep into the Xuan Yuan Sect and awakened an old man who was sleeping there.

"What? An imperial clan from beyond the stars?"

An old woman was in seclusion there when she received the news, and she was instantly jolted awake.

Upon closer examination, one will discover that the old man's cultivation level is actually not that high; he is currently only in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

However, divine power was faintly contained within her body, and a powerful majesty emerged, indicating that she had already cultivated to the extreme in the Four Extremes Realm, and could reach the Dragon Transformation Realm with one more step.

This is an elder of the Azure Emperor lineage, and also Yan Ruyu's elder. Because his lifespan is nearing its end, he has entered seclusion here, hoping to advance further and extend his lifespan.

But at this moment, she was shocked by the news brought by Yan Ruyu, and her face showed astonishment.

Is his imperial lineage genuine?

The old woman looked at Yan Ruyu in front of her and asked a question.

Yan Ruyu didn't speak, but quietly presented a few drops of blood and handed them to the old woman.

This was blood left by Chen Yu when he cut his palm, which Yan Ruyu deliberately collected.

Without hesitation, the old woman immediately used her secret technique to test it.

In an instant, the place shone brightly, and the imperial aura permeating the blood was exceptionally strong, with faint imperial patterns interwoven within, like the blood of a legendary immortal, exceptionally noble and dazzling.

Such a concentration of bloodline is almost comparable to that of a legendary imperial prince.

Even Yan Ruyu, who has the highest concentration of imperial blood in the current Azure Emperor lineage, is not worthy of comparison with him.

"Could this be a living imperial prince?"

Old Qing was shocked, and his mind went blank.

After a while, she came to her senses and quickly said, "Say yes!"

"A prince of the emperor wishes to cooperate with us; this is something we are very happy to do."

The Azure Emperor lineage has been weakened for many years and is no longer taken seriously by many people. In fact, it has been stripped of its imperial status by many powerful forces.

At this time, an imperial prince from the other side of the starry sky approached them, willing to form an alliance with them, which was something they had been eagerly anticipating.

Yan Ruyu stood still, seemingly unsurprised by Elder Qing's decision.

She had anticipated this outcome long before she entered the area.

After all, she couldn't think of a reason to refuse at this point.

After explaining some things, she took out the precious medicine that Chen Yu had given her and handed it to Elder Qing.

Compared to her, Elder Qing is currently at a critical juncture and undoubtedly needs this precious herb even more.

Given the circumstances, possessing this precious herb would undoubtedly increase the success rate of attempting to break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"This is difficult."

Looking at the precious medicine in his hand, Elder Qing's eyes held both longing and hesitation: "Since we are forming an alliance, we should naturally support each other. We must offer a corresponding generous gift so that the other party will not look down on us."

Although the other party said there was no need to return the gift, as a noble imperial family, the Azure Emperor lineage would be extremely impolite to accept gifts without reciprocating.

They, the Azure Emperor lineage, possess the dignity of an imperial family and would never do something that would make them look down upon.

But what to give in return is another big problem.

Given the current situation of the Azure Emperor's lineage, they really don't have anything of equal value to offer in return.

"Unless... you produce that thing."

Old Qing took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision.

The next day, the Xuan Yuan Sect was bustling with activity.

Elder Qing personally emerged from his seclusion to represent the Qing Emperor lineage in forging an alliance with Chen Yu.

During this covenant ceremony, she deliberately gave a return gift.

It was a wooden plaque, made of a special kind of spiritual wood, with a portion of the inheritance inscribed within it using special methods. It could be obtained simply by sensing it with one's divine sense.

Chen Yu initially didn't pay much attention to this thing, after all, given the current state of the Azure Emperor lineage, it didn't seem like they could produce anything of value.

But the moment he picked up the wooden sign, he realized he had made a mistake.

Weapons flew everywhere, and vast mysteries flooded into his mind, forming an incomprehensible and mysterious forbidden technique.

The Demon Emperor suffered nine slashes, leaving him deeply wounded!

These are forbidden techniques recorded in the Qingdi Scripture, consisting of nine forms.

Without a doubt, this is the most precious thing, a method that can only be recorded in the true imperial scriptures. Once it is used, it will shock the heavens and the earth, and even legendary gods will have to kill it.
