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

Because their peaks never intersected, the Void Mirror God had never witnessed the awe-inspiring power of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo. However, as an Emperor Weapon God, even without seeing it, he could deduce the characteristics of this physique.

"The Divine Body is extremely powerful, with a physical body even surpassing the Innate Divine Body Dao Embryo, but it is inferior in terms of unifying and becoming close to all the Daos."

"Compared to the other, if you fight at the same level, you will not be inferior, but in terms of daily cultivation, the Divine Body will eventually be slightly inferior to the Innate Divine Body Dao Embryo."

The deity of the Void Mirror offered this objective assessment.

In short, both are truly top-tier physiques, and in theory, they would be on the same level in a real fight, making it difficult to determine who is better.

Being equally skilled in close combat with opponents of the same level does not mean that one will be the same in other situations.

In daily enlightenment and practice, the divine body is ultimately inferior to the innate divine body and Dao embryo.

The innate sacred body and Dao embryo are naturally close to all the Dao, and their unification of the myriad Daos of heaven and earth is too powerful to be compared with the divine sacred body.

If the two compete from the same starting point, the one with the innate sacred body and Dao embryo will likely be one step ahead in cultivation.

However, this is not an irreparable flaw.

For those who cultivate slowly, it's not terrible. As long as their foundation is solid enough, they will eventually catch up.

Moreover, even if one's innate endowment is slightly inferior, one can compensate for it with the help of external forces.

"Your luck is astonishing; you have obtained the legendary Bodhi Heart."

The Void Mirror deity spoke: "This is a supreme divine object beyond enlightenment, enough to make up for the slight gap between you and the innate holy body and Dao embryo."

"However, no matter what, we must always remember one thing."

He continued, "Physical constitution is merely an aid; it cannot be completely absent, nor can it be completely relied upon."

"You should know that even if you are a mortal, as long as you have enough talent, you can still rival the top geniuses."

"Compared to the vast majority of ancient emperors, your innate endowment is already powerful enough. Even if the legendary Chaos Body were to appear in the world, it might not be much stronger than you. Therefore, you should be content and not become arrogant or neglect your own cultivation."

The Void Mirror deity was warning Chen Yu not to place too much emphasis on his physical constitution and thus neglect his cultivation.

In this world, physical constitution is important, but it never represents everything.

"I see."

Chen Yu smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

He never believed that the Divine Body could defy everything.

Putting aside everything else, he is far inferior to the Great Emperor Wushi in terms of innate talent.

On the surface, his innate physique doesn't seem to be much inferior to that of the Great Emperor Wushi. But you should know that besides these things, the Great Emperor Wushi also had the hidden blessing of being a reincarnation of a Celestial King.

Chen Yu wouldn't want to suffer when comparing his innate abilities to such an abnormal person.

"We still need to work on it."

He thought to himself, and then many other things came to mind: "However, with the Void Mirror, some of my previous plans seem to be feasible now."

Of course, for him, the most important thing right now is not anything else, but checking in.

[Check-in successful. Void Mark obtained.]

[Void Mark: The mark left by the Void Emperor upon the world. Holding it allows one to briefly summon the departed Void Emperor back, restoring his divine might...]

"The Emperor's Mark..."

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Chen Yu was somewhat surprised, but after a moment a smile appeared on his face: "I've gained another trump card."

Now that the Void Mirror is in hand, if the Void Mark is used to summon back the former Void Emperor, then the combat power of a peak emperor can be restored immediately.

Even the supreme beings slumbering in the forbidden zones of life can be challenged; they fear no challenge.

On a smaller scale, Chen Yu's own safety will be better guaranteed in the future. On a larger scale, if the dark turmoil were to recur in the future, he could also contribute his own strength.

This time, there is no need for the Ji family's imperial son and the Yellow Emperor to offer sacrifices; he alone can recreate the magnificent combat power of the Void Emperor.

Knowing it's impossible yet doing it anyway, knowing it's certain death yet forging ahead without hesitation, as brave and fearless as Ye Fan in the original work. Chen Yu knew he wouldn't do something like participating in the Supreme Battle with the cultivation of a Great Sage, but if he could contribute, he would be very happy to do so.

After checking in, Chen Yu turned around, put away the Void Mirror, and returned to Yan Ruyu's side.

"My husband!"

Yan Ruyu smiled as she looked at Chen Yu who had returned.

Not only her, but also the old man and even the old demon beside her had bright smiles on their faces, and the smiles on their faces never stopped from beginning to end.

This time they reaped a great harvest.

The Ji family's divine body came to establish its authority, attempting to seize the Azure Emperor's weapon. This was originally a great crisis, but after a turmoil, the situation was completely reversed.

With Chen Yu's intervention, not a single member of the Azure Emperor's lineage was harmed; on the contrary, they even seized the Void Mirror from the Ji family.

From then on, the Azure Emperor lineage joined forces with Chen Yu, and they would possess two imperial weapons.

With two imperial weapons in hand, who in the Big Dipper can rival him?

Especially the Void Mirror.

Unlike the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon, which remained silent and showed little reaction to Yan Ruyu's refining efforts, displaying an indifferent attitude, Chen Yu, as an imperial prince, could truly revive the Void Mirror.

An imperial weapon that can spontaneously revive—how terrifying is that?

The Imperial Weapon is a continuation of the Great Emperor's life. Once it is revived, it is as if the Great Emperor is reborn. Its power is enough to sweep away everything in the world, and no one can match it.

Thinking of this, the people of the Azure Emperor lineage couldn't help but feel excited.

Chen Yu also had a smile on his face.

Although this trip was somewhat bumpy, he gained a lot overall.

His deliberate stakeout and long wait were worthwhile.

"By the way, where are Ye Fan and Pang Bo?"

He glanced at Yan Ruyu in front of him and casually asked, "Where did she go?"

"I don't know."

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "It seems they got separated during the previous battle and we don't know where they went."

"I'm here."

Pang Bo's voice suddenly came from afar.

He appeared out of nowhere, looking quite disheveled, covered in blood, whether his own or someone else's, it was unclear.

But apart from him, there was still no trace of Ye Fan.

Without hesitation, Chen Yu immediately calculated with his fingers, and then revealed something strange.

"Good grief, you two still managed to run into each other."

He looked into the distance, and the next moment his figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.

.............

"Tell me quickly, what exactly is the relationship between our little ancestor and the Azure Emperor's lineage?"

Beside a stream, a girl in purple stood there, her whole body enveloped in divine light, appearing to possess formidable divine power.

This is Ji Ziyue, the younger sister of Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family, and one of the contemporary prodigies of the Ji family.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be noticed that her face is somewhat pale, and her beautiful face looks bloodless, as if she is injured.

This was caused by the Void Mirror's intervention earlier.
