Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

Chapter 105 Bloodline Connection, Capable of Seizing Imperial Weapons

The Void Mirror, the Eternal Furnace, and the Devouring Demon Jar—three imperial weapons—surrounded Chen Hao.

The deities of the Void Mirror and the Eternal Furnace seem to have fully awakened, but the two are inexplicably at odds, locked in a fierce confrontation.

The Void Mirror itself fought alongside the Void Emperor throughout his life, bathed in the blood of many supreme beings, and has the potential to evolve into a celestial artifact. Its power is incomparable to ordinary imperial weapons. The Hengyu Furnace, on the other hand, resonates with the Li Huo Divine Furnace and has a faint tendency to merge with it.

The nine divine phoenixes and one sun on the Hengyu Furnace, together with the nine divine birds and one sun on the Li Huo Divine Furnace, transformed into a divine rainbow that connected and resonated with each other. The Li Huo Divine Furnace was essentially a complete imperial array, greatly amplifying the power of the laws of the Hengyu Furnace.

However, although the Void Mirror and the Hengyu Furnace confronted each other for a moment for some unknown reason, they ultimately did not cause any trouble. It seemed as if they had reached some kind of agreement, and they stood guard on both sides of Chen Hao like gatekeepers, which made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.

The seemingly harmless Devouring Demon Jar, hanging above Chen Hao's head like an ordinary pottery jar, was actually unnoticed even by Chen Hao. The deity inside, or rather the fragmented primordial spirit of the Empress, had already fully recovered. However, it did nothing superfluous and simply observed Chen Hao quietly.

"There really is a fourth imperial weapon—"

In fact, Chen Hao possesses far more than just these few imperial weapons. Leaving aside distant examples, consider the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron from the Yao Guang Holy Land. Chen Hao received direct instruction from the Ruthless Daoist, and his cultivation level far surpasses the current version. If he wanted it, no one could stop him.

He obtained the Black Gold Cauldron with Dragon Pattern.

However, deep down, Chen Hao was actually somewhat intimidated and doubtful about Ancestor Nan.

Unlike the Void Mirror and the Eternal Furnace, Chen Hao was born with boiling imperial blood. Now that the Ji family's imperial son has not been born and the Jiang family has no imperial son, he can naturally live off his parents with a clear conscience.

Chen Hao felt that he was the most qualified successor to these two imperial weapons, apart from the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor. Moreover, as long as he didn't do anything too outrageous, the imperial weapon deities would definitely help him unconditionally after they woke up.

In fact, Chen Hao felt that as a commoner and descendant of the Yellow Emperor, he could also try to seize the Nine Li Map.

He had already secretly used his pure energy avatar to scout out the Central Plains.

Chen Hao secretly verified that the royal family members of the Shenzhou Dynasty and the Jiuli Dynasty were indeed related to him by blood. On the other hand, the Guhua Dynasty, which was suspected to be the disguise of Emperor Hengyu, seemed to have no real connection with him.

The ancestors of Earth corresponding to the two bloodlines of Shenzhou and Jiuli are probably Yu the Great and Chiyou. Among the ancestral artifacts that Chenhao retrieved were fragments of Yu the Great's Nine Cauldrons.

There are many origin stories about Yu the Great. Some say he was the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, a descendant of Zhuanxu, and the son of Gun. Others say that when Yu's mother saw a shooting star streak across the Pleiades, she had a dream and communicated with the gods. After waking up, she swallowed a divine pearl and Job's tears, and eventually gave birth to Yu after her chest split open. Some documents describe the strange scene of Yu being born from a stone.

There is also a version that says, "The floodwaters were overwhelming. Gun stole the Emperor's magic soil to dam the floodwaters without waiting for the Emperor's order. The Emperor ordered Zhurong to kill Gun at Yujiao. Gun was reborn as Yu. The Emperor then ordered Yu to spread soil to settle the nine provinces."

And there is the saying, "Gun died and did not decay for three years. When he was cut open with a Wu knife, he turned into a yellow dragon."

In other words, Yu the Great was born from the body of Gun, who died three years later, via cesarean section.

In summary, there are roughly five main legends: Yu was born from Gun's belly, Yu was born from a stone, Yu's mother became pregnant after swallowing Job's tears, Yu's mother became pregnant after receiving the essence of the moon, and Yu's mother became pregnant after being touched by a shooting star.

Chen Hao didn't know which type of King Yu in Shrouding the Heavens belonged to, but considering that the Holy Spirit in Shrouding the Heavens and the severed arm of the Dark Sovereign of Undying Mountain could communicate with spirits.

It can only be speculated that Yu the Great might simply be a spirit born from the corpse of an emperor, or a divine being conceived from the emperor's corpse combined with the essence of heaven and earth. Alternatively, it could be that the emperor's corpse transformed into a sacred stone embryo, but died prematurely due to the harsh external environment and being unearthed too early. It's also possible that the essence of the emperor's corpse, a fossilized spirit, was mistakenly swallowed by a mortal and gave birth to this being.

The fragments of the Nine Cauldrons may have been fragments from the very beginning, accompanying the birth of Yu the Great, and were originally broken remnants of the imperial weapons that accompanied Yu the Great's predecessor.

Anyway, as long as there are enough materials, it's not like you can only forge one imperial weapon. It's quite normal that the Divine Continent Dynasty left one behind, and the Divine Continent Emperor himself carried one with him, accompanying him in his conquests until it was shattered along with the Divine Continent Emperor who died in battle.

If Chen Hao wanted to acquire more imperial weapons, he could certainly find a way to directly target the imperial weapons of the Divine Continent Dynasty.

There are many myths about Chi You, the God of War, but he mostly appears as a villain. Chen Hao recalled the legend of Chi You being captured, killed, dismembered, and suppressed by the Yellow Emperor. He felt that he already possessed the Void Mirror before finding Chi You's remains.

Under the premise of this, it's best not to disturb the Jiuli Map for the time being; we need to make some choices.

To prevent the two imperial weapons, the Void Mirror and the Nine Li Diagram, from fighting amongst themselves and harming innocent people.

Moreover, if the imperial weapons in your hands start fighting each other, not only will you not have an extra trump card, but it will also mean that you can't use either imperial weapon until the two imperial weapons have a result.

"Come, Yu'er. I'll take you to awaken the Azure Emperor right now, so he can personally officiate our wedding after he wakes up!"

Chen Hao, without any hesitation, took the three complete imperial weapons he had just acquired and set off to awaken the Azure Emperor who was sleeping in the desolate tower.

At this moment, Chen Hao was full of youthful decisiveness and courage, and he was full of vigor, as if nothing in the world could stump him.

"Why don't we wait a little longer? Our ancestor has been asleep for so long; there's no rush for him to awaken."

The desolate tower is, after all, a celestial artifact—it would be better to awaken it by nurturing the Azure Lotus with the lifeblood of our ancestors and by activating the murderous intent left behind by them.

Yan Ruyu, the descendant of the demon emperor, hesitated.

Chen Hao's words deeply moved her, warming her heart and causing this flawless beauty to fall completely in love with him, her feelings for him growing stronger.

But the more she hesitated, the more indecisive she became. She feared that this impulsive and reckless act would cause Chen Hao to be implicated by the immortals.

The shockwave from the weapon caused him injury, and he also felt a sense of trepidation, similar to the feeling of returning home with trepidation, unsure of how to face that divine ancestor.

"There's no need for that—well, alright, since you've said so, let's try a multi-pronged approach."

Once I find the killing intent left behind by the Azure Emperor, and then let his killing intent drive the Chaos Azure Lotus as the main force to awaken the primordial spirit within the Desolate Tower, that should be a relatively safe approach, right?

As for the Azure Emperor's heart, let's keep it for now. He might need it when he reconstructs his physical body after awakening.

Chen Hao was initially confident and was about to say that there was no need for it, but when he saw the worried look in Yan Ruyu's eyes, he knew that it was a sign of love. His heart warmed, and he couldn't be so ungrateful, so he listened to her advice and decided to be a little more cautious.

"Hmm, this is still a safer approach. The idea of ​​directly bombarding the Desolate Tower with multiple Imperial Weapons is, upon closer examination, too risky."

Yan Ruyu nodded to Chen Hao, a relaxed smile appearing on her lips.
