Covering the Sky: Fairy, I really need to control you properly.

Lost in the sea of ​​suffering, Xu Jinhuan was at a loss for words when it came to what to say about Yao Xi.

In public, she is the smiling, kind, and approachable Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, whose every smile and gesture is like a gentle breeze.

Privately, however, she would list people of note on parchment scrolls and add notes.

The names, origins, and personalities of the outstanding talents from each holy land, as well as the Holy Son of Yao Guang, are clearly written down.

In the original novel, after Hua Yunfei was exposed and the turmoil at the Northern Region Ruthless Man's Dojo occurred, Yao Xi quietly left the Yao Guang Holy Land.

It seems that she had long been aware of the existence of the Ruthless Clan and was wary of the Holy Son of Yaoguang.

As for the words "maintaining relationships" next to Zixia's name, it's as if she's giving herself an explanation, and also as if she's reminding herself that this person is someone she can trust.

What kind of operation is this?

Xu Jinhuan pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

If you want to be shrewd and have a sense of contrast, why not just keep it to yourself? Why put it on paper like a diary?

What if someone sees this? Wouldn't that be troublesome?

……

On the battle stage, Fairy Zixia faced her third duel.

His opponent was a demon cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Palace, but as soon as he stepped onto the stage, he was overwhelmed by the overwhelming pressure of the Great Dao of the Innate Dao Embryo, and his face turned pale.

The cultivator was quite straightforward; he simply cupped his hands in surrender.

The situation was not so mild on the side of Xiang Yifei, the Holy Son of the Dayan Holy Land.

This man was known as the God of Slaughter of the Northern Region, a sword prodigy who slashed his opponent with three sword strikes, leaving him severely wounded and bleeding profusely.

The most eye-catching battle was the one between Zhu Wuji and the saints of the Ziwei Sect.

The disciples of the Ziwei Sect displayed extraordinary skill; starlight flowed between their palms and fingers, the Milky Way seemed to fall, and countless stars plummeted to earth.

He silently recited ancient scriptures, communicating with the Purple Star Emperor in the darkness, and drawing upon the power of all the stars in the heavens.

"The Purple Star Heaven-Shaking Technique!" someone exclaimed. "This is the Purple Star Sect's secret technique, said to be able to draw upon the power of the Emperor Star, making it virtually unbreakable among those of the same realm."

Everyone held their breath, expecting a fierce battle.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhu Wuji remained calm and composed as five deities appeared simultaneously. The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—rotated, obliterating the starlight that filled the sky.

The area around the battle platform was in an uproar.

"This...this is a recent breakthrough to the fifth realm of the Dao Palace?" a disciple exclaimed. "Five deities, each one so solid, how did he manage that?"

"It's one thing to break through to the fifth level of the Dao Palace in such a short time, but how can one condense five deities like this? This doesn't make sense, does it?"

"This doesn't look like someone who just broke through!"

A murmur of discussion arose, and everyone was stunned by what they saw.

The disciples of the Ziwei Sect, judging from their performance, were no ordinary people, yet they still lost.

"Have you ever heard that the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land received a small portion of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's inheritance of the 'Slay Myself and Enlighten My Way Technique' countless years ago?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor was one of the most brilliant emperors in the late ancient era. His life was full of ups and downs, with repeated defeats and victories. In the end, he was reborn from the ashes of a demon and became an emperor.

The Dao-Slaying Technique severs my demonic body, giving birth to a divine embryo and reversing the fate of heaven and earth.

That was a truly supreme secret technique, a forbidden imperial law that the Chaotic Ancient Emperor comprehended after obtaining a portion of the inheritance from the Ruthless Great Emperor. It was extremely dangerous.

However, if one cannot rebuild after severing the foundation of one's Dao and the physical body, then it is no different from suicide.

In addition, the portion of scriptures obtained from the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beginnings is said to be severely incomplete.

Few geniuses dared to try, and most met a tragic end, their bodies vanishing without a trace.

"Could it be that Zhu Wuji actually mastered this incomplete technique? He forcibly severed his Dao from the peak of the Dao Palace realm and started from scratch, fighting his way up from the first to the fifth level?"

If that's true, then this person is terrifying.

Everything that happened before can also be explained.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a voice came from afar, breaking the heated and tense atmosphere of the discussion hall.

An elder dressed in the robes of the Purple Mansion stumbled into the central peak, his face pale, and headed straight for the Holy Lord on the high platform.

"What are you doing making such a racket at the grand gathering in the Eastern Wilderness?" A senior elder stood up, shouted sternly, and raised his hand to take him down.

"With such an honored guest here, what kind of behavior is this, causing such a commotion?"

The elder knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling: "I report to the Holy Lord, something terrible has happened! The ancestral hall... the ancestral hall..."

"What happened to the ancestral hall?"

"More than a dozen ancestral tombs have been robbed!"

"What?!"

Beside him, the once smiling peak master of Misty Peak suddenly went black.

The ancestral hall is a forbidden area that has been guarded by Piaomiao Peak for generations.

For thousands of years, it has been shaded by pines and cypresses, and filled with the fragrance of incense.

The ancestral tablets and remains of all the ancestors of Zifu are buried here. It is the root of Zifu, a testament to tens of thousands of years of inheritance, and a sacred place for later generations to worship, make offerings, and remember.

Now, it has been stolen.

He suddenly stood up, his killing intent palpable.

This kind of thing happening on his turf is outrageous!

"According to the elders who guard the ancestral hall, it was a fat Taoist priest who broke the seal by some unknown means and was extremely arrogant. After showing great disrespect to the ancestors, the Taoist priest spat twice on the inscription under the elders' noses and even carved words on it."

"What word?!"

"this……"

"Say it!"

"The inscription reads... 'I, the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, was here!'"

This time, not only the peak master of Misty Peak, but even the Holy Lord couldn't sit still.

With a flick of her purple-gold phoenix robe, Lin Suwen soared into the air, transforming into a streak of purple light that rushed straight toward the ancestral hall.

"Yunqi, preside over the grand forum well, I'll be right back!"

The commotion here naturally did not escape the notice of other guests at the holy site.

"Tomb raiders? Fat Taoist priest? Carving?"

The expressions of the people from the various holy lands also changed, especially Xiang Yifei, the holy son of the Dayan Holy Land. He jumped off the battle platform, not caring about the outcome, grabbed his longsword, and followed Lin Suwen's figure.

"I voluntarily relinquish the doctrine!"

"This unscrupulous tomb raider has a long-standing feud with our Great Yan Holy Land. He robbed ten of our sacred tombs and left behind the same inscriptions, showing great disrespect to our ancestors. We must capture him and offer him as a sacrifice to appease the spirits of our ancestors in heaven!"

Several elders from the Nine Heavens Holy Land also looked rather grim. They whispered something to the people around them and then got up and followed.

People from several holy lands, including Dao Yi Holy Land and Ziwei Sect, looked at each other, their faces growing increasingly grim.

Clearly, the major holy lands of the Eastern Wilderness have also encountered similar situations recently, but they have kept quiet about it out of consideration for their reputation.

I never expected that this Taoist priest would be so arrogant, choosing this time to commit tomb raiding.

"Just who is that fat Taoist priest? How did he manage to offend so many sacred places?"

"I don't know, but to dare to run wild in the Zifu Ancestral Temple and even carve his name, this person is either crazy or has extraordinary abilities."

Within the sea of ​​suffering, Xu Jinhuan was also pondering.

"The fat Taoist priest is a tomb raider..."

No way?
