Shrouding the Heavens: One proof, eternal proof, starting from Earth to prove the Dao.

Where is young friend Ye Fan now?

Jiang Taixu continued to press for answers.

Since Ye Chen entrusted Ye Fan and Ye Chen to him, he would risk his life to protect them.

"Young friend Ye Fan and his Daoist partner, Miss Xu Qiong, are resting in their guest rooms."

The Holy Lord of the Jiang family immediately replied.

At this moment, in front of Jiang Taixu, he was just a junior, Jiang Yun, not the Holy Master of the Jiang family.

"Prepare gifts; I will personally go to see them."

"I, Jiang Taixu, will certainly not fail the trust placed in me by my young friend Ye Chen."

Jiang Taixu planned to give Ye Fan a gift as a token of his gratitude.

After all, if the Empress gave Ye Chen anything, the Jiang family could use it as a valuable asset.

......

"Young friend Ye Fan."

A clear voice rang out from outside the hall.

Ye Fan and Xu Qiong immediately stood up.

Jiang Taixu changed into a brand new white robe, and tied his long hair up with a jade hairpin, regaining some of his former handsome and elegant demeanor, but the sense of vicissitude between his brows was even more profound than it was four thousand years ago.

"Senior Jiang!"

Ye Fan and Xu Qiong both showed the respect due to juniors.

"sit."

Jiang Taixu sat down opposite Ye Fan.

The Holy Master of the Jiang family personally carried two simple wooden boxes and placed them on the table between the two men, then bowed and stepped aside.

"Your brother entrusted you to me before he left."

"He saved my life and the Jiang family, and also saved the Jiang family from a potential catastrophe."

"These things will help you two progress faster on your spiritual path, so please don't find them offensive."

Jiang Taixu pointed to the wooden box, which was the token of his sincerity.

"This is a small token of my Jiang family's appreciation. Two million catties of pure source are offered for the Holy Body's cultivation. It is not particularly valuable."

"The other one is the Hengyu Scripture of the Ancient Jiang Family. You and your friend Xu Qiong both possess the bloodline of the Jiang family, even more so than mine. This scripture is also suitable for your cultivation."

"Besides, this is your brother's Chaos Tower, which can withstand attacks from powerful beings. Place it on young friend Ye Fan."

"I also promised to teach your brother the Holy Art of Battle. Since your brother is not here now, I will teach it to you first, and then you can pass it on to him!"

Jiang Taixu was extremely generous.

Not only did they bring out two million catties of pure source, but they also brought out the Hengyu Sutra from the Jiang family.

Prior to this, he had sensed that the Ye brothers possessed the powerful bloodline of the Hengyu Emperor, so naturally he could not afford to antagonize them.

"Then I'll keep it for my brother."

Ye Fan nodded.

Some things can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words, and certainly cannot be recorded in writing.

Even if Ye Fan wanted to send it to Ye Chen through a chat group, he would need a physical medium.

"Gentlemen, please settle down here for the next few days. The turmoil in the Divine City has subsided, and no one dares to show their face at this time."

"If you and your young friend Xu Qiong have any questions about cultivation, feel free to ask me."

Jiang Taixu patted Ye Fan on the shoulder.

Compared to Ye Chen's monstrous talent, Ye Fan's cultivation progress with the Ancient Sacred Body is far too slow; he has only just reached the Divine Bridge Realm.

"Thank you, God King!"

Ye Fan bowed with his hands clasped.

"By the way, when your brother left, did he mention the ancient land of Yaochi and the Queen Mother of the West?"

Jiang Taixu's expression suddenly became subtle.

He was actually quite interested in the anecdotes about Ye Chen and the Western Queen Mother.

"My brother only said he was going to Yaochi to verify some things, and told Xu Qiong and me to focus on our cultivation."

Ye Fan didn't know much either.

Most of the information was told to them by the Black Emperor in Purple Mountain.

"Some things are a blessing in disguise."

Jiang Taixu's eyes flickered, as if he had recalled some records in ancient books.

Without saying anything more, he instructed the Holy Master of the Jiang family to take good care of Ye Fan and his companion before drifting away.

His figure disappeared into the morning light, following Qian Jiu's pen strokes, embarking on an adventure together in "Covering the Sky: One Proof for Eternity, Starting the Path from Earth." It was time to go see the Fairy of Rainbow Clouds who had waited for him for four thousand years.

.......

Yaochi Ancient Land.

The two people and the dog walked out of the teleportation portal.

The waterfalls and springs here are cascading down, and the misty waters create a breathtaking scene. The palaces are magnificent, making it feel like you've truly entered a fairyland.

On those beautiful cliffs, waterfalls cascade down one after another, silver ribbons stretching for thousands of feet, a vast expanse of white.

"Thump—"

Black Emperor leaped into the central fairy lake.

"That damn dog, it's going to be scary in a minute."

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.

Even the ancient holy body that attained the Dao and became an emperor perished in that era.

Moreover, the entire Yaochi Holy Land has been relocated, which clearly indicates that a major upheaval occurred here.

"Aww—"

Black King let out a wolf howl.

It instantly leaped out of the water, jumped behind the Empress, and obediently hid.

"Little sister, can you sense anything?"

Aside from a few female corpses, Ye Chen could see nothing else.

With his cultivation level of the first stage of dragon transformation, coupled with his divine sense scan, he could only sense that the spiritual energy here was thin and the Daoist charm was broken, but there was nothing special about it.

"Sizzle—"

The empress did not answer, but simply raised her delicate hand and gently made a gesture in the air.

Suddenly, in the center of the immortal lake, one after another Great Emperor Array Patterns appeared, seemingly an array that opened another passage.

"This should be the true seal left behind by the Western Emperor, with the laws of the Imperial Way as its foundation and the essence of Yaochi as its source."

"Unless one possesses the same combat power as an emperor, or a specific token left behind by her, any saint who rashly intrudes will be instantly annihilated."

Black Emperor shrank his neck.

It had felt a chill run down its spine when it jumped into the lake, but thankfully it returned quickly enough.

"open."

The Empress flicked her finger at the center of the array pattern.

There were no earth-shattering sounds, no violent upheavals caused by the clash of laws.

Just like a key being inserted into the perfect lock, with a soft, almost inaudible "click".

The imperial seal, powerful enough to suppress even the most powerful beings, began to disintegrate silently and gently from its very core.

A desolate aura, sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, mixed with dense chaotic energy and an indescribable, eerie black blood, rose from the center of the lake after the seal was broken.

After the silt at the bottom of the lake receded, a small, simple stone chamber built of Chaos Stone was revealed.

The stone chamber had no door.

There is only a light barrier separating them.

On the light screen, a line of words was imprinted in ancient imperial script, each character flowing with a faint golden holy blood glow.

"Having achieved the pinnacle of his divine body and defied the heavens to attain the ultimate Dao, he was ultimately no match for the shadow that returned from the chaotic ancient era."

Ye Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

He seemed to see an incomparably majestic golden figure standing at the edge of the universe, with his back to all living beings, in those words.

He faced alone two indescribable "darkness" or "eeries".

That figure's blood and energy surged to the heavens, roaring and shaking the galaxy, his golden fist shattering one star field after another.

However, the two beings shrouded in black mist were equally terrifying, corrupting his Dao and devouring his life force.

"It's a bizarre creature!"

"A malignant tumor left over from the previous era."

Ye Chen muttered to himself.

A terrible truth surfaced in his mind.

The father of the Great Emperor Wushi, the first ancient holy body to attain enlightenment—the Great Emperor Donghuang.

He did not die peacefully, nor was he killed by the siege of the supreme beings of the forbidden zone.

The Eastern Emperor was ambushed by two strange and ancient beings, namely two eerie remnant immortals.

In the end, Donghuang exhausted all his strength, sacrificing his own holy blood and origin, to perish together with the two strange remnant immortals.

Later, the Western Emperor sealed the Eastern Emperor's remains here and then left Yaochi, disappearing without a trace.
