Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

Chapter 30 A Fierce Competition to Follow, and the Involution of Taking Up Positions

"I don't qualify either."

The golden bull king also stuck out its tongue and exhaled a breath of white air, as if it had burned out completely and was about to die.

I'm so sorry I couldn't make you enjoy yourself.

The Taoist's sallow face was now bruised and swollen.

"How can someone be so monstrous! It hurts so much! Damn it, how come this is another top-tier secret technique? With so many unique skills, you can still be considered a rogue cultivator? Are you some young master who secretly ran away from home?"

Longma grimaced in pain, cursing and complaining that he felt he had been tricked and had unwittingly wandered into the Heavenly Palace.

The resentment that had been lurking in his heart, and the arrogance in his eyes, were completely cleared away by the endless rain of petals and the relentless beatings from Chen Hao, who appeared and disappeared amidst the boundless rain of flowers. He finally realized the gap between them and was completely convinced.

"I have neither an imperial weapon to protect my life nor a great sage to protect me. I also do not usually have a supreme expert as a backer to provide support, guidance, or answers to my questions."

For a little bit of cultivation resources, I even had to travel through mountains and rivers to come to this dangerous Kunlun Immortal Land and fight for my life.

Unlike those born into nobility, who have divine objects to build their foundation even in the womb, and after birth have rare treasures accumulated by their ancestors to take whatever they want, and never suffer from lack in food, clothing, housing and transportation, which are all of the highest quality.

"If I'm not a rogue cultivator, then who is?"

Chen Hao sighed softly.

Ye Hei, a top-tier figure with connections and a fatalistic viewpoint, even without mentioning the sick old man, has a ruthless person backing him up and guaranteeing his advancement to the Dao Integration stage. The Great Accomplishment Holy Body from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land is silently watching him. The same face that he used to collude with the Emperor Venerable will later receive help from the old subordinates of the Heavenly Court...

Even setting aside those like Ye Hei who descended to the mortal realm for experience, in a few years, a whole bunch of imperial princes who have been sealed away until now will spring up like mushrooms after rain. Without imperial weapons to protect them or a powerful backer to support them, they won't even have the qualifications to stand on the grand stage of the universe.

If you lose, you'll basically be killed on the spot by all sorts of arrogant people; if you win, you'll experience what it means to "this kid must not be allowed to live."

Without a strong backing and sufficient backup plans to save their lives, it's virtually impossible to escape the destruction of the Emperor's son by the Great Sage Protector wielding the Imperial Weapon. Only those who survive are qualified to compete for the Emperor's path.

The Emperor's son, who was later beaten to death, is a typical example. If it weren't for the Heavenly Mandate of No Beginning, which caused his stepmother to abscond with the money and top generals, and his biological father, the Daoist Immortal, to be suppressed, he wouldn't have died so young.

The Emperor's son may seem like a glorious son of the gods, but in reality, he has neither an imperial weapon nor a top-tier protector. He's also not very bright and is easily fooled. He's easily pushed to the forefront to stir up trouble and attract hatred, thinking he's making a name for himself, which makes him a laughing stock for the other imperial sons.

Chen Hao felt that this world was too unfriendly to ordinary people. Fortunately, he was a demon from beyond the realm with a natural advantage. Otherwise, he would have been better off not competing for the so-called path to becoming an emperor.

"Wow, that's asking too much! By your logic, how many people in the world aren't independent cultivators? Is the outside world really that hard to survive these days?"

The beast kings, including Longma, were dumbfounded.

"A great upheaval will occur in this lifetime, an unprecedented transformation. Many ancient emperors have made predictions about it, so they sealed away their own children, hoping that their children could become emperors and seize opportunities in this lifetime."

Moreover, this era will be a so-called golden age where many exceptionally talented individuals with special physical constitutions will be born, and many ancient geniuses will break free from their seals, while the treacherous old man will lie low and rebuild his cultivation. It can be said that all sorts of demons and monsters will gather together.

Chen Hao sighed, "However, the outside world is still in a difficult era these past few years. There are many uncultured and ignorant weaklings everywhere. The real giants under the water have not yet surfaced and are probably still sealed and asleep."

Before the golden age of complete revival of the universe arrives after the era of hardship, we shouldn't encounter so many top-tier second-generation figures for the time being.

Knowing so many secrets of the universe, you still say you're not a young master from a top-tier powerful organization?!

The beast kings looked at Chen Hao, this mysterious guy who could casually utter secrets that many people had never heard of in their entire lives. Yet, he looked utterly alone and helpless, full of emotion, like a pitiful commoner with no background. They had a lot of complaints stuck in their throats and were about to burst out laughing.

They all suspected that Chen Hao might be the so-called imperial prince who had been sealed away and escaped prematurely.

What changes will occur in this lifetime?

"The Golden Bull King asked curiously."

"The path to immortality will open in this lifetime. The right person, in the right place, at the right time, who seizes the opportunity, may be able to open the path to immortality and enter the immortal realm, using the immortal substances of the immortal realm to prolong their life and enjoy longevity."

Chen Hao said casually.

Anyway, it's not some big secret. Apart from illiterate idiots like the Holy Prince, most of the imperial princes know that this life is not simple, based on their fathers' vague understanding. So they just said it.

Moreover, Kunlun is fraught with danger, and without a guide, these beast kings would probably never be able to leave the Kunlun Immortal Land in their entire lives.

"The Immortal Realm?!"

The Black Ape King swallowed hard, its eyes burning with desire.

"Immortality!"

The sallow-faced Taoist priest had fiery eyes.

"The right person!"

The Golden Bull King stared intently at Chen Hao with its pair of bull eyes. It felt that Chen Hao had an ethereal aura and was clearly a celestial being, very likely the so-called right person.

Even if that's not the case, Chen Hao's background must be quite impressive; he might be some kind of imperial prince or an ancient freak.

As for his constant claims that he is a grassroots figure, it's understandable that the more privileged a second-generation heir is, the more they want to prove they don't rely on their parents.

Moreover, Chen Hao is so outstanding now, easily defeating several Dao-Slaying Kings. Even if he is just a commoner, he is still a hidden dragon!

If you can follow in its footsteps, you will surely be able to see more of the world and have a brighter future.

"You even know this much, and you still call yourself a rogue cultivator!"

Longma's eyes widened in shock, then its heart burned with excitement. It immediately fawned over Chen Hao, "Big brother, do you need another little brother? Just say the word, and I'll go through fire and water for you, boss!"

Although they were very curious and eager to know what the right person, the right place, and the right time were, the Beast Kings felt that such things could probably not be asked of anyone but their most trusted confidants.

"Do you need another mount?"

The Golden Bull King smiled憨厚ly, like an honest man, but in the eyes of the other beast kings, it was now very cunning.

"Old Niu, you?!"

The other beast kings were surprised that Old Bull was so reckless, showing no dignity whatsoever as a Dao-Slaying King, and they all became somewhat anxious.

Especially Longma, it finally put aside its pride and was genuinely planning to curry favor with Chen Hao, but unexpectedly, Lao Niu was even more willing to go all out and didn't care about face at all.

It immediately asks to be a mount; what's the difference between that and being willing to be a slave? How is it supposed to cope with that?

"Your humble servant is willing to offer my primordial spirit to follow you, solely to witness greater heights; I humbly request that you accept me!"

Seeing this, the sallow-faced Taoist priest, in order to improve his competitiveness, decided to go all in and knelt down in front of Chen Hao.
