Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

"Unfortunately, the amount drawn this time was still too small, only enough to wash one's face."

After refining a drop of the Fountain of Life, Chen Hao not only gained a deeper understanding of the Dao of Life, Death, Yin and Yang, but the immense life energy contained in that drop of water also propelled his cultivation to a new level, and his transformation into the Ninefold Other Shore was quietly completed.

After all, not every advancement brings a transformative opportunity. With sufficient life essence from normal cultivation, the transformation to the ninth level of the Other Shore realm can be completed quickly. However, without a great opportunity, the multiple transformations of the Other Shore realm are just so-so.

However, the ability to trigger one's own transformation is ultimately a good thing, regardless of the final outcome; it's just that ordinary people don't have enough resources to nurture it.

Just like in the Great Wilderness of Perfect World, each tribe collects the blood of ferocious beasts and various precious medicines for children of school age, combining them with ancestral prescriptions for a medicinal bath baptism. However, the gap between the rich and the poor is there, and not everyone can get the best opportunity for baptism, obtain enough transformation, and forge an unparalleled foundation.

Unfortunately, the Fountain of Life is a non-renewable resource. It is not a natural spring that can flow continuously. Instead, it is a rootless spring formed by the essence of dead gods and demons. Every bit used reduces its quantity.

"Little one, you want some too? Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to increase production yet, so for now I can only give you a drop to enjoy. If we're richer later, we can take a bath together!"

Seeing the little white tiger peeking out, Chen Hao smiled and gave it a drop of the life-giving essence.

It's not that he's stingy, but he's still poor. These are life-saving things that can be saved in critical moments, and they're non-renewable resources, so he can't just squander them. Not even the slightest bit of waste is acceptable.

Otherwise, when the day truly comes that there isn't enough life-saving resources to support you, it will be too late to regret it.

"Awoo!"

After swallowing the drop of life-giving essence, the little white tiger roared to the sky as if it were drunk.

Immediately afterwards, the little white tiger excitedly hugged Chen Hao's leg and rubbed against him affectionately. Her choice was indeed right; she was determined to follow this person for the rest of her life!

After receiving a drop of the Fountain of Life, the little white tiger's appearance did not actually undergo any earth-shattering changes; only its previously somewhat confused eyes became more lively.

After all, when it comes to the power of life, the life essence and immortal substances contained in a drop of the Fountain of Life are naturally far inferior to the Divine Elixir of Immortality itself, but its effect of nourishing the soul and gathering spiritual consciousness is unparalleled in this world.

If some greedy, self-severing supreme beings were to see this, they would probably be so anxious that their eyes would turn bloodshot and they would be panting heavily, recklessly trying to seize the divine spring.

After playing with the little white tiger for a while, Chen Hao left his inner world and reappeared in the Kunlun Immortal Land, continuing to be a tasteful locust, digging up all the good treasures worth collecting along the way and putting them into his inner world.

Having long been terrified of poverty, Chen Hao scavenged land all the way and finally arrived at an area deep in Kunlun. Here, at the dragon vein nodes, there were many small medicinal kings with an age of over 50,000 years. Each one was crystal clear and fragrant, which made Chen Hao, the penniless rat, overjoyed and quickened his pace of collection.

"roar……"

Just then, a clear whistle rang out, and an endless heat wave swept across the land. The land ahead was barren and desolate, a truly bizarre sight in the Kunlun Mountains.

This is a humanoid monster that is over two feet tall. Wherever it goes, rocks melt, vegetation turns to ash, and barren land is created. It is very similar to the legendary drought demon.

"You beast!"

Like a mouse that has fallen into a rice jar, Chen Hao, who was diligently scraping the ground, saw this wretched creature wasting resources and polluting the environment, and couldn't help but curse angrily.

A crimson glow flickered, and the drought demon, having discovered the presence of living beings, transformed into a streak of fire and rushed over, bringing with it a raging inferno. However, before it could even get close, the flames were drained and extinguished, and the drought demon itself was suppressed by an invisible force, rendering it unable to move.

"The Fountain of Life is formed from the essence flowing from the corpses of gods and demons; it is a miracle of reversal at the extremes and life arising from the depths of death... So, if we use a single drop of the Fountain of Life as a starting point, and spread it with a large number of powerful corpses, can we refine the death energy into life force and produce even more Fountains of Life?"

  

Looking at the zombie-like monster on the ground, Chen Hao, wanting to make use of the waste, narrowed his eyes and activated his extraordinary wisdom.

Although Chen Hao did not understand source techniques or any formations that could turn death into life, his forbidden divine ability, "Dao Embryo," could seize the essence of all Daos, shape the mysterious embryo of heaven and earth, and form a field on its own. It could be used on sacred objects such as the source of life.

However, the Fountain of Life is formed from the essence of gods and demons, and the corpses of ordinary weaklings are probably not qualified to be used to brew the Fountain of Life.

Of course, it certainly doesn't need to be as exaggerated as the remains of a True Immortal in the Shrouding the Heavens system, but Chen Hao estimated that the corpse of a powerful Immortal Level 2 expert should be enough.

Legend has it that in the ancient era of immortals, any powerful being at the second level of immortality could ascend to the immortal realm, and saints were even known in that world as immortal and indestructible.

Those below the Immortal level in the human realm of the Covering Heaven are far less durable than those in the Divine Tomb. After all, the microcosm mechanism of the human body in the inner world is equivalent to each person being a prototype of a world, possessing endless potential. Those who truly possess talent will one day be able to use their microcosm to rival the external universe, developing their small inner world into a true universe.

However, setting aside the survival mechanism, the significantly superior stats and terrifying divine abilities of most cultivators in the Shrouding the Heavens universe compared to those in the Divine Tomb make up for all of this.

Moreover, what Chen Hao needs to do is not to go from zero to one, from nothing to something, and he does not need to make a breakthrough from zero. There is already a ready-made source of life. All he needs to do is use more resources to transform and generate more life springs.

It's like having a ready-made mold; all that's needed is to continue piling up materials, pouring molten iron in batches, and stamping it into shape, rather than just imagining and brainstorming design drafts before finally putting them into practice and meticulously handcrafting them.

Chen Hao was a man of action and ambition. He immediately took the immobilized drought demon into his inner world, allocated a special piece of land to suppress it, and then took out a drop of life source. Using this drop of spring water as the core, he used the "Dao Embryo" divine power to shape the mysterious embryo of heaven and earth, condensing it into a special terrain, which automatically began to extract the essence of the corpse and flow into the embryo.

Then, Chen Hao used his Heavenly Eye Divine Power to look around and continue forward, collecting various precious medicines while searching for the burial pit of the dead from the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Along the way, they unexpectedly harvested quite a few small medicinal kings that were around 60,000 years old. The medicinal effects were strong, and the whole thing looked like it was cast from gemstones, with a refreshing fragrance.

This is the result of accumulated knowledge and skills from ancient times to the present. This place is almost transformed into a treasure trove of medicinal herbs. It is fortunate that the little white tiger immortal guided the way. Otherwise, without a map, an ordinary person would surely die if they entered. If they are not careful, they will step into a deadly place.

"Finally found it!"

Chen Hao's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the underground cave with some excitement. He clearly saw a large number of coffins underground, most of which were made of stone and had not decayed, and had been preserved to this day.
