Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

Kunlun Immortal Land.

Near the Vulcan Cave, there is a huge palace that encompasses the mountains. This is the palace built by the Kunlun Beast Kings for Chen Hao. Although it is called a palace, it is actually a magnificent and grand giant city.

Under Ye Fan's deliberate instigation, the Beast Kings eventually named this place "Jade Void Palace".

Chen Hao didn't say anything after seeing it, after all, he did have a lot of the Jade Void Palace's lineage inheritance, and he had quite a connection with the Jade Void Palace.

As time went by, this place became both Chen Hao's temporary residence and the training ground he later personally set up.

After the Beast Kings completed the construction, Chen Hao made numerous modifications and alterations. The city was filled with array patterns and divided into many different areas. The most central area was undoubtedly the core palace, where Chen Hao and his Daoist companions stayed.

In terms of style, it is a mix of classical charm and rugged appearance, and it contains profound meaning. In addition to various convenient magical artifacts, there are also many products with a modern technological style.

Chen Hao even used his faith power to build a "regional network" exclusively for cultivators and believers. Although the method was different, its convenience was not much different from that of modern network information.

Besides the beast kings, many of the residents on the outskirts were from the mortal world, such as those who had been kind to Chen Hao, male relatives and friends, those related to his Daoist partner, and some geniuses from the Heavenly Dao Alliance who had been recognized.

Those who can be brought into the Kunlun Immortal Land are naturally all direct descendants and those with connections.

The Kunlun Sect, where Yan Xiaoyu originally belonged, has now become, in the eyes of cultivators outside, a place that resembles an outer sect branch.

Only those whose names are registered and who can truly enter the Jade Void Palace in the Kunlun Immortal Land to cultivate can be considered to have truly entered the inner sect of the upper sect and become a true direct descendant of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

  

However, even so, because of Yan Xiaoyu, the Kunlun Sect outside the Immortal Land still stands out among the various Heavenly Dao Alliance branches, belonging to the core force among the outer branches.

It's important to understand that while Chen Hao may not have ambitions for domination, his formidable strength is undeniable, and he possesses a terrifying record of altering the faith in Jerusalem and destroying the Vatican.

They also possess endless magical techniques and blessed lands like Kunlun Immortal Land and Penglai Immortal Island, making them incredibly wealthy. Countless cultivators, who were already desperate to escape poverty, were eager to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance and benefit from its influence.

In this situation, the Heavenly Dao Alliance also had treacherous officials like Ye Fan who, along with Long Ma and other Dao-Slaying Kings, stirred up trouble throughout the cultivation world on Earth, using their influence to their advantage.

With Chen Hao focused on his secluded cultivation and detached from worldly affairs, the treacherous officials under his tutelage snowballed, and all the major Dao lineages around the world, regardless of whether they were in the Central Plains or the Western Regions, had come under the wing of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, or at least outwardly, they all respected the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Therefore, the current lineage of Taoism on Earth is divided into only two types: the direct lineage of the Jade Void Palace and the various branch academies. Apart from independent cultivators in the mountains and wilderness, all major religions venerate and follow the Lord of the Haotian Tao.

……

Inside the dining hall on the outskirts of Yuxu Palace.

Many practitioners were moving about, chatting, eating at tables, or in groups of three or five, discussing the practice of secret realm techniques and various interesting anecdotes and gossip.

Although this is just an ordinary outlying canteen, it has produced a lot of good food, and even the most basic rice is so popular that people flock to it.

For example, a special grain called "Baiyang Rice" is best at absorbing the essence of the earth, making it extremely nourishing, and it yields 30,000 to 50,000 catties per mu.

Planting was allowed to take place freely in this sacred land of Kunlun Immortal Land, where the land was nourished by the dragon vein's energy, adding even more wonder to the land.

"The Baiyang rice from Kunlun is still the best."

Pang Bo chewed the rice in his mouth with gusto, and in no time he had finished a large bucket of rice.

Ye Fan, standing in front of him, was no less impressive, and his appetite was even more astonishing. While Pang Bo was speaking, he had already finished three large buckets of rice.

"Baiyang rice is indeed good, but compared to Taigu Longya rice, Baiyang rice's only advantage is that it's plentiful and filling."

Ye Fan licked his lips, recalling the palm-sized crumb he had gotten from Longma last time, savoring the memory.

"That's the legendary Dragon Food, a food exclusively for the ancient Heavenly Dragon. It's said that the original Dragon Tooth Rice has long been extinct, and every single one eaten is one less available. The Dragon Tooth Rice we ate last time was just a third-generation hybrid variety carefully cultivated by Haozi."

Pang Bo also felt a bit reminiscing.

"Li Xiaoman said there's a college reunion in a few days. Pang Bo, we haven't seen our old classmates in a long time, let's go together."

Ye Fan's eyes flickered.

"Are you going to show off to your old classmates?"

Pang Bo chuckled. After several years of arduous training, he had become a reserve member of the Dao Palace.

If it weren't for the fear of upsetting his good brother Ye Fan, and Pang Bo making up an excuse that he needed to explore the other shore of transformation and continue to solidify his foundation, he would have already broken through to the Dao Palace realm.

"I heard Haozi will be going too."

Ye Fan's eyes were bright and piercing.

He had recently refined the Heavenly Demon Fruit he obtained from Haozi, devoured the Heavenly Demon Body's origin which was not yet fully developed, and unleashed the power of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, enabling him to successfully break through to the Other Shore Realm. The smooth and effortless speed was far more enjoyable than his previous arduous journey.

Ye Fan was just wondering where to get more sources of powerful physique. Taking advantage of the class reunion, he might be able to get some guidance from Haozi, such as where there are many buried old zombies that are suitable for archaeological excavation.

Earth's ancient cultivation civilization was highly developed. This land buried countless heroes, as well as a large number of ambitious people with ulterior motives and foreign bumpkins. It would be a waste if they remained buried underground forever.

The main reason is that most of the various sects on Earth have joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance, so he can't persecute these people on his own without reason, and he doesn't want to break his principles and kill living people to refine his origin so quickly. So he can only target those old zombies.

"Since Haozi is going, we have to go too, otherwise people will think our friendship has faded!"

Pang Bo immediately perked up.

Haozi is incredibly wealthy; even a little bit of food dripping from under his fingernails would be enough for him and Ye Fan to eat for a long time.

Moreover, as long as you have the right attitude and don't act arrogant, Haozi is always very easy to talk to. He can even let you buy on credit and has never asked for payment. It's practically like giving it away for free.

Just like when Ye Zi obtained the Heavenly Demon Fruit from Hao Zi, in a normal transaction, both Ye Zi and Hao Zi were penniless and couldn't afford to exchange it, let alone repay the debt. However, Ye Zi shamelessly said that he would definitely repay it when he became successful in the future, and Hao Zi gave it to him without saying much.

Moreover, having cultivated in the Kunlun Immortal Land for so long, Pang Bo has seen many people who were brought up the mountain by Chen Hao through connections; the case of one person attaining enlightenment and all their relatives and friends benefiting from it is right before his eyes.

Pang Bo was naturally moved by this, and in the quiet of the night, he would always think of using his connections to get his parents into the Jade Void Palace so that they could also enjoy a share of the imperial salary.

This class reunion is a great opportunity to pull strings, be shameless, and ask for favors. I think Haozi is so kind-hearted that he won't mind having two more pairs of chopsticks in this holy city of Yuxu Palace.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo thought it was just a simple class reunion. Little did they know that they would happen to encounter the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin at this reunion, and would fly through the starry sea to a completely unfamiliar star field.
