Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

After clearing out a group of ferocious beasts that had attacked him, Chen Hao continued on his way.

Along the way, ancient trees stood tall and vigorous, many of them having grown for countless years. They towered into the clouds, and sometimes several trees would grow together, covering an area of ​​many miles, their shadows even surpassing those of the mountains.

There are also many old vines, like coiled dragons, that wrap around several mountains, covering the ground and even the cliffs, verdant and vigorous.

The vegetation in Kunlun Mountain grows luxuriantly because it is rooted in the dragon vein and can be nourished by the earth's energy, making it exceptionally vigorous. However, few of the vegetation in the mountains and rivers are born with divine will.

Aside from a few unusual species, ordinary grasses can only serve as a waste, offering up the life essence they nurture in vain.

Chen Hao, who was terrified of poverty, always made sure to leave with his life force intact. Even ancient trees and vines that were commonplace and everywhere could not escape his plundering of some of their vital energy, or being completely crushed and drained.

Since they are all food without any self-awareness, would a person feel guilty about how much rice or bread they have eaten?

Later on, Chen Hao, too lazy to collect vital energy bit by bit, would dig up any plants that looked good and were rich in life essence and send them into his inner world.

At the same time, the inner world was also fully activated, automatically absorbing the endless essence of Kunlun Immortal Land, refining and strengthening itself to continuously expand its spatial capacity and enrich Chen Hao's foundation.

And those ancient medicines with long histories and long medicinal lifespans naturally could not escape Chen Hao's clutches either.

However, instead of simply and crudely consuming the essence of plants, Chen Hao chose to dig up the soil and water of Kunlun Immortal Land and transplant it into his own inner world. After becoming familiar with the medicinal properties, he would slowly refine it into a more effective elixir through the combined methods of the monarch, minister, assistant, and adjuvant herbs, so as not to waste the precious resources.

Chen Hao suddenly stopped. He was in a place with undulating mountains, where he saw a natural dragon cave.

This area is characterized by towering peaks and verdant forests, with numerous mountains piled up to form a terrain resembling a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching. In the center lies a deep valley, a natural dragon cave.

Here, rosy clouds burst forth and auspicious colors emerged. Chen Hao's spirits lifted. Could this be the area where Ye Fan dug out the dead stone man?

As Chen Hao ventured deeper, he indeed discovered a dead stone figure, which had been robbed of its life force and killed before it could transform into a true human form.

Because the Kunlun terrain was formed to give birth to immortals, the essence of the eight directions and the divine light of the ten directions all converged on the central forbidden area through the dragon veins. The Holy Spirit Embryo could not compete for it and could only die in the womb.

Chen Hao poured his own essence into the stone figure, which trembled and moved slightly. Then, its eyes emitted a captivating light, as if it had suddenly come to life!

However, all of this was an illusion. It was merely that Chen Hao had used the profound meaning of the Absorption Technique to infuse his own essence and energy in reverse, and combined it with the planting technique of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique to implant the seed condensed from Chen Hao's own essence, energy and spirit.

Essentially, it's just that Chen Hao's spiritual consciousness has taken over the unclaimed corpse, much like a Gundam pilot controlling a mecha. However, if Chen Hao is willing to sacrifice his highly condensed essence and spirit into a seed, it might be possible to create a brand new life after many years of nurturing.

In the legends of the Tomb of the Gods, the supreme beings with boundless magical power can separate the seed of their soul from their own bodies and recreate an identical version of themselves.

This is a method that is thousands of times more advanced than the method of manifesting oneself in another's body, but its risks are also thousands of times higher.

In the world of Tomb of the Gods, the external avatars are not as useful as those in other worlds. In a sense, they are humanoid combat tools. They are mostly formed by cultivators extracting their own life essence and need to be controlled by the main body. Once the main body dies, the avatar will also be destroyed. If the avatar is damaged, the main body will also suffer some backlash.

However, those with extraordinary magical powers who separate their soul seeds and recreate individuals do not suffer from this drawback. They can be considered independent life forms, and when the original body suffers a devastating blow, they can try to merge with the individual to restore their true form.

This is somewhat similar to the way the people of Senyu in the Pili Puppet Show use their own flesh and soul essence to create backup bodies, which then devour the backup bodies to replenish their energy and instantly restore them to their optimal state when their original bodies suffer a catastrophic disaster.

For example, in the novel *The Tomb of the Gods*, Chen Nan once speculated that Xiao Chenxi and Catherine might both have grown from Yu Xin's soul seeds, one being "planted" in the Divine Jade and the other in the Tree of Life.

However, how can a brand-new life willingly and voluntarily dedicate itself to a so-called master? This can easily lead to a situation where a tiger is raised to cause trouble. The Seven Absolutes Celestial Maiden is a typical example of something that went too far.

She wanted to sow seeds so that when the fruit ripened, the seven avatars, each at the same peak level as her original body, would merge and combine, thus breaking through her own limits in one fell swoop. However, each of the divine embryos, formed from the boundless essence of heaven and earth, was unwilling to become the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens and merge with them after they grew up. They all wanted to shatter the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens' spiritual consciousness and just be themselves!

Although Chen Hao was very curious about the life essence of the Holy Spirit and wanted to use the perspective of the stone man to perceive the world and experience the feeling of being nurtured and created by the world, it was enough for him to briefly experience the mysteries of the corpse. He had no intention of planting a soul.

Even if he wanted to create some kind of avatar battle body, he would first explore the complete method or extract a reliable method from other worlds. The products under the red-haired monster ancestor's system always split and backfired at the drop of a hat, which was really too unreliable.

"Such a strong sense of resentment!"

Chen Hao was having a great time controlling the stone golem, perceiving the world from the perspective of the stone golem's body. This was a rare experience for him and greatly beneficial to his cultivation. However, he suddenly felt a strong sense of resentment enveloping the entire stone body.

This pent-up hatred seemed to materialize, and after Chen Hao took over, it was as if it was activated by his spirit and energy. The overwhelming resentment began to affect Chen Hao in turn.

The seed formed from Chen Hao's own essence, energy, and spirit was inevitably affected by resentment within the stone body. However, Chen Hao remained calm and used the methods of the Path of Human Desire to take this opportunity to carefully comprehend the mysteries of the Six Desires Heavenly Art and the Great Art of Severing Emotions. This was a rare opportunity for him to hone his skills.

Unconsciously, Chen Hao closed his eyes, sat opposite the stone man, and then sank into the Dragon Cave together. He fully experienced the stone man's joy at the moment when it first gained consciousness by seizing the essence of heaven and earth, and its resentment towards heaven and earth and all things and its unwillingness to accept its own fate when its life was taken away by the mountain's reverse.

To comprehend the vicissitudes of life and death, the cycle of yin and yang, and the impermanence of the Way of Heaven, and to use this to refine one's mind and comprehend the great Dao of human desires.

At this moment, Chen Hao's body was not only surrounded by black and white, with the two energies of life and death swirling around him, and yin and yang rotating, but also by the six desires tribulation light that he had actively triggered, ancient heavenly sounds roaring, Dao traces appearing, and colorful light engulfing heaven and earth.

Endless spiritual energy surged forth and engulfed Chen Hao. Amidst the pollution and calamity caused by the endless resentment of the stone man, Chen Hao decisively used the Great Law of Human Desire to temper his body and mind and hone his fundamental abilities.

And the opportunity for his second transformation in the Other Shore Realm arrived as scheduled. Using the stone man's filthy resentment and the boundless essence as fuel, and the Great Dao of Human Desire as the spark, colorful flames ignited from the inside out all over Chen Hao's body.
