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

"If that's the case, it doesn't seem so bad."

Thinking about that scenario, Chen Yu smiled, finding it quite amusing: "I just wonder if a golden lotus will grow inside me too?"

He looked inward into the sea of ​​suffering, and this thought flashed through his mind.

In the original story, Ye Fan was baptized by the essence blood of the Azure Emperor multiple times, and a golden lotus grew in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, which later became the catalyst for the Azure Emperor's resurgence.

If Chen Yu continues to be nourished by the Azure Emperor's essence blood, a golden lotus might also grow in the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

After all, he not only has a stronger physique than Ye Fan, but he also possesses the blood of the Azure Emperor.

After digesting that drop of demon emperor's blood essence, Chen Yu thought about continuing to see if he could extract some more blood essence, but in the end he gave up.

After extracting that drop of essence blood, the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart no longer reacted to his manipulation. It simply remained silent in the Fountain of Life, absorbing the divine power within to replenish itself.

It seemed that the drop of blood he had just spat out was all the essence he had accumulated over this period of time.

Seeing that he could no longer extract essence blood, Chen Yu simply gave up.

Anyway, the Azure Emperor's Sacred Heart is inside him and won't run away, so there's no need for him to be too anxious.

Once the Azure Emperor's Sacred Heart has recovered, refining the essence blood will have the same effect.

If we forcibly squeeze out the Sacred Heart and it ends up flying away like Ye Fan in the original story, then the loss would be enormous.

After leaving his secluded retreat, Chen Yu sought out Yan Ruyu.

His seclusion this time didn't last long, but it still amounted to two or three months.

During this period, the arrangements on the Xuan Yuan Sect side have been completed, and the wedding date he and Yan Ruyu had previously set is approaching.

"Has my friend not arrived yet?"

Looking at Yan Ruyu in front of him, Chen Yu was somewhat puzzled.

Before parting ways, he deliberately revealed the location of Ye Fan's Xuan Yuan Sect.

Given Ye Fan's speed, he shouldn't have been late in such a long time.

Could it be that something unexpected has happened again?

"It seems unlikely that your friend will make it in time."

Yan Ruyu knew why Chen Yu was puzzled, and said, "Some time ago, the Yao Guang Holy Land joined forces with the Jiang family to explore the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land in search of the Divine Fruit."

"They captured a group of people who had come out of the ancient forbidden land and sent them to scout ahead. Your friend seems to be among them."

"Um?"

Upon hearing Yan Ruyu's words, Chen Yu was immediately taken aback.

At that moment, he remembered something.

The Yao Guang Holy Land and the Jiang family joined forces to search for the divine fruit in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. In doing so, they kidnapped Ye Fan's classmates and took them there. It seems that this actually happened in the original work.

Having come this far, Chen Yu thought the plot was about to change, but he never expected that Ye Fan would still get involved in the end.

"As expected, truly charismatic people bring excitement wherever they go, unlike me, who finds everything stagnant."

Chen Yu smiled, not feeling particularly worried.

Just go.

If it were any other forbidden area, Chen Yu might have been a little worried, after all, Ye Fan was one of the key figures he had planned to recruit.

But it's a forbidden, desolate place.

For Ye Fan, that was practically like going home.

As everyone knows, within the desolate ancient forbidden land, there is a Great Accomplished Holy Body and a ruthless Great Emperor who does not want to become an immortal but only wants to wait for his brother to return.

The former is a senior from the same lineage of the Holy Body as Ye Fan, while the latter, although not directly regarding Ye Fan as his brother, would never stand by and watch Ye Fan die in front of him, considering their similar appearance.

The same applies to the original work.

Ye Fan entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land several times, and nothing ever happened to him.

Chen Yu even suspected that if Ye Fan wore a blood-stained outfit and called out "sister" a few times in the desolate ancient forbidden land, he could probably unlock the final chapter directly.

What immortal emperor, what supreme ruler, go tell my sister who's a celestial being in the mortal world!

Of course, Ye Fan himself was unwilling to accept this outcome.

After all, he was a person who only valued this life, did not believe in the afterlife, and only believed in his own invincibility.

Such a person cannot accept being a substitute for someone else; they only want to believe in themselves.

But this does not change the fact that he could not have died in front of the desolate forbidden land.

"You don't seem worried?"

Yan Ruyu noticed Chen Yu's relaxed demeanor and was somewhat puzzled.

"How about we make a bet?"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "I bet he's not only unharmed, but he'll also have made a great fortune in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."

"Is that so?"

Yan Ruyu was curious and didn't understand the reason for Chen Yu's confidence.

That's no ordinary place; it's an ancient forbidden zone.

Entering the desolate ancient forbidden land, let alone a mere cultivator at the Sea of ​​Wheels level, even ancient great powers would perish there, and even saints dare not claim they could escape unscathed.

Why was Chen Yu so confident about this place?

She didn't understand the source of Chen Yu's confidence, but that didn't stop her from making a bet with him.

"What are we betting on?"

"I'm betting on who you'll end up with."

Chen Yu smiled and said, "If you lose, you'll be mine; if I lose, I'll be yours. How about it?"

"childish."

Hearing these words, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but laugh and rolled her eyes at him.

Given her usually calm and quiet nature, this was a rare moment of liveliness for her.

"Hey, you two, don't flirt in front of us single people."

In the distance, Pang Bo muttered helplessly as he moved various odds and ends, acting as a porter.

With the wedding date approaching, various venues needed to be decorated, and he came here to help out, but at this moment he couldn't help but complain.

"That's right, that's right."

Not far away, the cheerful voices of Qin Yao and her maids could be heard, their voices light, lively, and quite adorable: "Your Highness Yu must have been itching to become our son-in-law soon, right?"

They were not afraid of Chen Yu; in fact, they were quite fond of him.

Because Chen Yu usually doesn't act aloof and is very approachable, and is quite generous, he is very popular with these little vixens.

Finally, amidst everyone's laughter, Yan Ruyu and Chen Yu swapped their bets.

Time passed little by little, and their wedding day drew ever closer.

Just when everyone else thought Chen Yu was about to lose, a figure hurriedly arrived from a distance.

It was the figure of a boy, who looked to be only about twelve or thirteen years old. He had delicate features and was wearing a straw raincoat.

Upon arriving at the Xuan Yuan Sect, he immediately introduced himself and called out his name.

It was undoubtedly Ye Fan.

"Ye Zi, it really is you!"

Upon seeing Ye Fan, Pang Bo was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to embrace him.

However, during this process, he sensed something was wrong: "Why do you seem to have shrunk so much again?"

Compared to the original five fruits, they only ate four in the Desolate Forbidden Land this time, so they didn't become too small, but just looked like they were fifteen or sixteen years old.

But Ye Fan in front of us looked even smaller, appearing to be only twelve or thirteen years old, like a young boy who had just grown up.
