Covering the Sky: A Guide to Proving the Dao Without Cheats

The stone garden erupted in a deafening clamor, with everyone struggling to remain calm. The intense, sacred aura seemed to have given everyone in the stone garden a baptism.

Although the purple Qilin within the divine source is extremely small, less than the size of an infant's fist, it contains unparalleled vitality and is absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

With each breath, endless spiritual energy surged forth like a tide, and everyone present felt as if they had been baptized, their bodies feeling refreshed.

At this moment, the people of Yaoguang Stone Archway were deathly pale.

The birth of this miraculous medicine, the Purple Qilin, left the people responsible for guarding the Stone Garden utterly devastated, wishing they could end their own lives on the spot.

This strange stone, named "Demon Embryo," had been placed in the stone garden for countless years, neglected as a semi-abandoned stone, until it unexpectedly revealed itself to be such an astonishing treasure.

"On behalf of the Ji family, I am willing to purchase this rare treasure!"

"So what if it's the Ji family? I, representing the Jiang family, sincerely wish to purchase this celestial treasure!"

"Can you afford it? Don't you know how much the Qilin Immortality Elixir is worth? Instead of wasting your time, why don't you hurry up and call your family's Holy Master?" A Supreme Elder of the Holy Land immediately sneered.

"We can't afford it, but you can?!" The older generation of the ancient families were not afraid of the Supreme Elder of the Holy Land and coldly retorted.

These old men, who usually seemed frail and decrepit, were now so excited they looked ready to fight, each one full of energy and more vigorous than the young holy sons.

In Luo Heng's hands, the small Qilin within the purple divine crystal was lifelike, its form exquisitely detailed. Covered in dragon scales, it seemed to be gliding lightly on the water.

Its body shape combines the features of a dragon's head, deer's antlers, lion's eyes, tiger's back, and bear's waist. It also carries mysterious patterns on its back, which seem to be divine patterns containing the Dao of Heaven, making it extremely profound.

This divine medicine is extremely rare; even in the ancient times, only a handful could be found. It possesses the miraculous power to revive even the most powerful masters whose lifespans have been exhausted, and it is even effective against emperors.

Moreover, each of these divine herbs is unique, and it is almost impossible to find a second one that is the same, which shows how precious and sacred they are.

Moreover, each of these divine herbs is almost impossible to reproduce, and once destroyed, they disappear from the world forever, thus earning them the title of supreme divine treasures.

"Isn't the miraculous medicine supposed to be non-reproductive? Why is there such a seed?" someone muttered in confusion.

"This is a unique divine medicine that has undergone its own rebirth..." an old man explained.

Ancient divine medicines all possess spirituality and can communicate with spirits. When faced with a crisis of destruction, they can escape and have the ability to fly and burrow underground.

Even more miraculously, they sometimes choose to be reborn from the ashes, condensing themselves into a seed, traversing the void, and searching for a more suitable celestial land to grow in.

The divine medicine also has another well-known name—the elixir of immortality, possessing the heaven-defying power to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, while they themselves are nearly immortal.

Ancient families and sacred lands have stood for hundreds of thousands of years, so they can certainly afford to wait a long time to cultivate a divine herb.

Even if a miraculous medicine takes thousands of years to mature, that's enough.

The divine medicine is harvested once every few thousand years and accumulated several times to continuously prolong the lives of outstanding individuals who have the potential to become emperors. Perhaps it can truly create an emperor!

How could the people of the various ancient families and holy lands not be envious of such an alluring prospect? This is an unparalleled sacred object!

Everyone's eyes turned red. Fortunately, Wei Yi and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi were standing beside Luo Heng; otherwise, Luo Heng's life would probably have been in danger.

Luo Heng, holding the Qilin Elixir of Immortality, walked to the person in charge of Yaoguang Stone Workshop.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, with strong facial features and an air of authority that could not be underestimated.

"May I ask how to address this fellow Daoist from the Yao Guang Holy Land?"

The middle-aged man, his face grim, uttered two words: "Lu Yang."

Luo Heng paid no attention to the extremely ugly expression on the face of the person in charge of Yaoguang Stone Workshop. He still smiled and said in a light tone, "Fellow Daoist Lu, how about this? I'll use this Qilin Immortality Elixir to exchange for the position of Holy Son of your Yaoguang Holy Land, how about that?"

Lu Yang was instantly moved upon hearing this.

But he quickly realized what was happening, and his expression became somewhat distorted.

Although he felt that exchanging the position of Holy Son for an elixir of immortality was a worthwhile deal in terms of value, the face of the Yao Guang Holy Land was also at stake! If he really agreed, the Yao Guang Holy Land would truly lose face.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, please don't joke like that. Otherwise, even if the people of Yaochi Holy Land protect you, our Yaoguang Holy Land will never let this go."

Lu Yang finished speaking with a threatening tone, but his heart was still bleeding for this huge loss.

Luo Heng smiled and nodded, then said again, "Alright! Alright! Then I won't joke around anymore, let's talk about something real."

Before tomorrow, have your Holy Son from the Yao Guang Holy Land come to the Divine City for a fair fight with me. If he wins, I will give this Qilin Elixir of Immortality to the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"If I win, I will become the Holy Son of your Yao Guang Holy Land. How about that? That way, regardless of winning or losing, the Qilin Immortality Elixir will ultimately belong to your Yao Guang Holy Land. Isn't that a great deal?"

Upon hearing Luo Heng's words, Lu Yang was eager to agree immediately. However, such an important matter was not something that he, as the person in charge of the stone workshop, could decide on his own.

He could only say, "I will report this matter to the Holy Lord of Yaoguang." Although he said this, he secretly hoped that the Holy Son of Yaoguang would be defeated.

After all, having a Source Celestial Master as a Holy Son would be far more beneficial than harmful to Yaoguang Stone Workshop.

Luo Heng smiled slightly and said unhurriedly, "By the way, I'm sure you'll soon find out my identity, so I'll just state it myself first."

"Yes! I am a disciple of Lingxu Cave Heaven, which is a subordinate sect of your Yaoguang Holy Land. So, in a way, we are actually from the same sect!"

After saying that, Luo Heng deliberately paused, scrutinizing Lu Yang's face with great interest, preparing to appreciate the changes in the other's expression.

Ordinary people often use the phrase "changing facial expressions" as a descriptive term, but it's quite different for those who cultivate themselves. Because divine power flows within their bodies, whenever their emotions fluctuate violently, the energy of their five internal organs will manifest outwards, and their faces will truly display different colors.

Sure enough, various colors, including green, white, red, and black, appeared on Lu Yang's face in succession, and the five elements of energy flowed erratically on his face. The richness of the changes was truly interesting.

After admiring the sights for a while, Luo Heng continued, "Our Elder Han asserted that I have the potential to become a Holy Son, so I am determined to take the position of Holy Son of Yao Guang."

Furthermore, my actions this time can only be considered healthy internal competition, not an external conflict, wouldn't you agree?

After saying this, Luo Heng took out a jade slip from his storage space and handed it to Lu Yang, instructing him: "This is the location of the duel. I will only wait for one day. After that, I will have to leave the Divine City for a while."

So, don't miss out!

After saying that, Luo Heng turned around and walked out of Yaoguang Stone Archway with a smile on his face.
