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

A flash of light appeared, and Luo Heng, Wei Yi, and Yao Xi appeared in a wide and grand square.

Luo Heng looked down and saw that the ground seemed to be made of pure white jade, with delicate textures and a smooth, mirror-like surface.

He looked up and around, and saw that the scenery of Yao Guang Holy Land was breathtaking, with ethereal mist, myriad rays of light intertwined and spread, and auspiciousness permeating everywhere.

In the distance, ancient trees, having weathered countless years, still stand tall and vigorous. Jagged rocks stand side by side, and a sacred spring flows gently. Occasionally, auspicious beasts appear among them, making the entire sacred land appear magnificent and beautiful.

After admiring the beautiful scenery, Luo Heng turned his gaze to the Holy Lord of Yao Guang and Elder Liu standing before him. He smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Senior Gai Jiuyou, have you arrived? Then please lead the way, so as not to keep the senior waiting."

After hearing this, the two Holy Lords of Yaoguang did not waste any more words and directly led Luo Heng away.

Only Yao Xi remained in the same spot.

However, Yao Xi's expression was quite strange as she watched Luo Heng leave.

As Luo Heng walked, sat, or lay down, streaks of light trailed behind him in the air, creating a dreamlike and ethereal scene with its own dazzling special effects.

Looking down at his feet, Luo Heng left a white Daoist-patterned footprint with each step he took, reminiscent of the Buddhist concept of lotus blossoms with every step.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Luo Heng wasn't actually standing on solid ground; each of his steps was actually landing in the air, three inches off the ground.

Seeing this, Yao Xi couldn't help but wonder if this new Holy Son of Yao Guang Holy Land actually cared more about appearances than the previous one.

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang led Luo Heng for a while, and they arrived in front of a magnificent and ornately decorated palace. He said, "Senior Gai Jiuyou and his disciple are inside."

"Oh, his apprentice is here too? Never mind, it doesn't matter." Luo Heng said, taking a step forward. As he approached, the tightly closed doors of the main hall slowly opened automatically.

Inside was a magnificent golden hall, where an elderly man in blue robes, who looked to be over fifty, was sitting in a chair sipping tea.

The old man had thinning hair, was bony and looked sickly; even his beard was completely white.

Standing next to the old man was a child of about ten years old, dressed in spotless white, with jet-black hair, snow-white skin, bright eyes like black gemstones, red lips and white teeth, and a very handsome appearance, which could be described as a beautiful young man or a beautiful young woman.

Luo Heng led Wei Yi into the main hall. Then, he waved his hand behind him, and the Holy Lord of Yao Guang and Elder Liu at the door understood and closed the hall door.

Seeing Luo Heng's graceful, lotus-like movements, Gai Jiuyou didn't react much.

Xia Jiuyou, standing to the side, couldn't help but curl the corner of her mouth.

But seeing Luo Heng wave his hand and the Holy Lord of Yao Guang leave the hall, Gai Jiuyou's expression finally showed a hint of surprise.

Xia Jiuyou, standing beside him, stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

In fact, when Yao Guang Sheng Zhu invited Gai Jiu You, he deliberately added his own name.

After all, even if the promise of the Nine Secrets and the Elixir of Immortality were made in the name of the Holy Son of Yao Guang, it might still be difficult to persuade Gai Jiuyou.

Therefore, in Gai Jiuyou's view, the one who should have invited him here was the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

However, the scene before him surprised even this well-traveled man.

However, he also realized that the Holy Son of Yaoguang before him was no ordinary person. It seemed that he was the true ruler of the Yaoguang Holy Land, which was truly shocking.

Of course, Luo Heng was unaware of all this. Even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared.

For him, all he needed to do was order the Holy Lord of Yaoguang to find Gai Jiuyou. If the Holy Lord of Yaoguang failed to do so, he would hold him accountable.

If he succeeds, he will naturally be rewarded. As for the specific process, as long as it doesn't interfere with his plans, he won't care at all.

After all, if he wanted to do everything himself and be involved in every matter, why would he need to recruit subordinates?

Luo Heng did not go to the main seat deep inside the hall, but instead found a chair opposite Gai Jiuyou and sat down.

"Senior Gai Jiuyou's arrival truly brings honor to the Yao Guang Holy Land. Now that you've come, I naturally wouldn't dare let you leave empty-handed."

After speaking, Luo Heng waved his hand, and a small jade bottle and a piece of jade floated towards Gai Jiuyou.

Sitting beside him, Wei Yi stared at the jade piece, his eye twitching slightly. If he wasn't mistaken, that should be the secret character for "soldier," right?

After Luo Heng and Gai Jiuyou received the two items, they spoke again, saying, "One of these two items is the 'Soldier' ​​Secret, one of the Nine Secrets. We can lend it to you for a look, senior."

Furthermore, this small jade bottle contains a divine elixir comparable to the elixir of immortality, which should be able to extend your life for a period of time.

The divine liquid that Luo Heng spoke of, comparable to an elixir of immortality, was actually the little girl's tears.

It should be noted that the original work clearly states that the Black Emperor, who was on the verge of death, was quickly restored to normal simply because of a few tears from the little girl.

Even after Xiao Nannan went to Ziwei Star, her magical tears attracted a large number of powerful figures to capture her.

This is why Luo Heng thinks that Xiao Nannan is the second strongest cheat in "Covering the Sky".

Obtaining Xiao Nannan would at least grant access to two supreme imperial weapons: the Devouring Demon Jar and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, as well as two imperial scriptures: the Devouring Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art, and two immortal medicines: the True Dragon Immortal Medicine and the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine.

Moreover, the little girl herself is comparable to an elixir of immortality.

Of course, Luo Heng wouldn't dare to deliberately make the little girl cry.

However, Xiao Nannan is just an ordinary little girl in her daily life. It is inevitable that she will bump into things and bruise herself, and there will always be times when she sheds tears. Luo Heng then collected all of these tears.

Even so, Luo Heng had now accumulated quite a few of Xiao Nannan's tears. He estimated that these tears were at least equivalent to several drops of the elixir of immortality.

When Gai Jiuyou heard the secret word "soldier", he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, while Xia Jiuyou next to him looked even more delighted.

Upon hearing that the divine liquid, comparable to the elixir of immortality, could extend Gai Jiuyou's life, Xia Jiuyou's face immediately lit up with joy.

On the contrary, Gai Jiuyou's expression became serious. He knew that when someone gives a gift, there must be an ulterior motive, especially such a generous gift.

Gai Jiuyou spoke directly: "I wonder why the Holy Son of Yaoguang invited me here in such a special way? And why bring such a generous gift? If the Holy Son does not explain clearly, I really cannot accept it."

"master……"

Before Luo Heng could respond to his words, Xia Jiuyou, who was standing next to him, stomped her feet anxiously and kept gesturing to Gai Jiuyou with her eyes.

He even opened his mouth to say something, but was silenced by a look from Gai Jiuyou.

Seeing Xia Jiuyou's anxious expression, Luo Heng couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior Gai Jiuyou, rest assured, these two items are a gift for you. Even if the matter doesn't go through, I won't take them back."

Upon hearing this, Gai Jiuyou's expression grew even more solemn, while Xia Jiuyou visibly relaxed, a bright smile curving her lips as she blurted out, "I didn't expect that despite your nouveau riche attitude, you'd be quite generous."

Gai Jiuyou immediately glared at his disciple, then turned apologetically to Luo Heng, saying, "My disciple has been rude; I'm sorry the Holy Son had to laugh at me."

Seeing this, Luo Heng shook his head to indicate that it was alright.

However, he put away his smile, calmly raised his hand and gently pulled out the wooden hairpin from his hairline, then placed it on the coffee table next to him.
