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

Luo Heng himself was completely unaware of these developments.

If he had known that several supreme-level divine senses had just swept across the Big Dipper, he probably would have broken out in a cold sweat on the spot.

It's also thanks to the fact that the scripture in the bronze coffin has such a significant origin.

That was a secret technique passed down from the heavens by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, specifically used to repair the Immortal Realm; you could even call it the Immortal Emperor's technique.

In the entire world of "Covering the Sky", apart from the Three Incarnations Coffin, it has the most significant origin.

Luo Heng then used it to inscribe his own Dao-proving artifact, making it completely connected with his own aura and in harmony with the Dao, which allowed him to narrowly escape the perception of those supreme beings from forbidden zones.

Otherwise, he could only hope that the ruthless big shot wasn't sleeping too soundly.

In fact, Luo Heng had already made up his mind while he was in the ancient bronze coffin—to use this Immortal Realm Repair Scripture as the foundation of his future path, or even the fundamental method to become an immortal.

In the original story, Ye Fan imprinted the scripture onto his small cauldron, and the scripture automatically disappeared. This is because the scripture's function is to repair the Immortal Realm; to make it effective, it would need at least a small world.

Just like if you want to practice using a dog-beating stick, you have to give him a stick first!

Luo Heng's advantage over Ye Fan lies in the fact that he knows exactly what this scripture is and what its purpose is.

Knowing its uses allows you to address the problem effectively and harness its power.

Luo Heng not only specially chose Chaos Stone, which is considered the most suitable material for opening up a small world, but also invited Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi, the two humans with the highest cultivation on the Big Dipper, to help him.

Even the method used to create the small world originated from the inheritance of the Azure Emperor.

All choices were made to mobilize the power of Shi Hao's Heaven-Mending Scripture as much as possible.

That's right, the Azure Emperor's secret technique that Luo Heng obtained from Yan Ruyu was the very technique by which the Azure Emperor created the Immortal Realm Small World.

Although the information obtained from Yan Ruyu was certainly incomplete, the underlying concepts must have been profound and exquisite.

It should be noted that throughout the entire novel "Covering the Sky," the only instance of unusual activity involving the Immortal Realm Repair Scripture was on the steps outside the Lingxu Cave.

The reason for this is that the Azure Emperor and the Desolate Tower are located below the Spirit Void Cave.

What's inside the Desolate Tower? Besides the tower itself, there's the remnant soul of the Azure Emperor, and the small immortal realm he created!

Luo Heng speculated that the anomaly in the Immortal Realm scriptures was caused by the small Immortal Realm world created by the Azure Emperor.

This shows that the Azure Emperor's creation of the Immortal Realm was not just wishful thinking; he truly possessed some real talent.

Luo Heng specially exchanged this secret technique for Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi to study, and finally used it to open up the small world in the Chaos Stone.

After the small world is formed, the Desolate Heaven Emperor's Immortal Realm Repair Technique will be inscribed on it.

The small world refined in this way will at least reach the level of the strange small world where Soy Sauce Immortal resides in the future!

This is also why Luo Heng previously looked down on the Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

Even if Ye Fan refines the Xuanhuang Mother Qi into a cauldron and then uses the Emperor's broken cauldron to temper it, so what? At best, it is an ultimate imperial weapon that the Emperor helped refine.

As for Luo Heng, it can be said that he was "refined" with the help of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

So now the question is, how many Emperor Venerables can Immortal Emperor Shi Hao defeat?

Luo Heng truly looked down on the Xuanhuang Mother Qi; it wasn't some kind of "true fragrance" thing.

Moreover, the Stone Linglong is not only Luo Heng's tool for proving his Dao, but also an important foundation for his future breakthrough to the Immortal King realm, and even his attempt to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

He had already planned his future path of spiritual practice.

The first step is to directly cultivate the Chaos Body using the "Undying Heavenly Art," and then break through to the Great Emperor realm by leveraging the Chaos Body's ability to merge with all the Dao.

After becoming the Great Emperor, I will then begin to create my own Imperial Scripture.

That's right, Luo Heng is just that cunning. Unlike those protagonists with cheat codes, he doesn't dare to create his own scriptures or even his own cultivation system when he's only at the Sea of ​​Wheels or Dao Palace realms.

He was very self-aware; he knew he didn't have the talent, comprehension, or special advantages, so he planned to create the Emperor Scripture after reaching the Great Emperor realm.

To put it bluntly, while others are rushing to finish their theses before graduation, he plans to write them slowly after graduation. His main theme is bullying the weak and oppressing the strong, and using superiors to defeat inferiors.

Of course, although he planned to create the Imperial Scripture after becoming emperor, he already had a rough idea in mind.

After all, he had read the entire "Covering the Sky" and parts of "Perfect World," so his mind was never short of all sorts of ingenious ideas.

In the original story, the Ruthless Great Emperor conceived a divine fetus with a demonic body. What happened after the divine fetus? Luo Heng's answer is: the divine fetus gave birth to the world.

That's right, Luo Heng plans to "take a different approach." Once his Chaos Body is fully developed, he will refer to the scriptures of various ancient emperors, such as the "Undying Heavenly Art" and the "Source Heaven Book," to create an imperial scripture that can give birth to a world from chaos.

Once I truly evolve into a small world, I can use the small world within the Stone Exquisite as my sixth secret realm, and devour it in the future. Perhaps I can then use this to step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

Luo Heng's gaze fell on the stone jewel floating on the sea of ​​bitterness, and he pondered to himself: Should I call you "Linglong Heaven", or... "Da Luo Heaven"?

In the end, he chose the latter.

"Da Luo Tian"—the pinnacle of the thirty-six heavens, the place where all paths converge, the ultimate realm of the universe. It nurtured the Three Pure Ones, the origin of all things in the heavens, and the sacred place that immortals and gods ultimately yearn for.

The name itself embodies Luo Heng's ambition and expectations.

After naming his instrument of enlightenment, Luo Heng unhesitatingly sent the Devouring Demon Jar directly into the Linglong Heaven.

He opened the jar, and in an instant, a massive amount of chaotic energy poured out like a surging waterfall.

It is important to understand that chaotic energy is to this newborn little world what mother's milk is to an infant—crucially essential.

As long as there is a sufficient amount of chaotic energy, the small world can grow rapidly.

Of course, the "rapid" here refers to the perspective of the small world itself.

In reality, such a growth rate is so slow that it's almost despairing for ordinary cultivators.

Fortunately, Luo Heng inscribed the Immortal Realm Repair Scripture of the Desolate Heaven Emperor on Linglong Heaven.

The moment the massive amount of chaotic energy descended, the entire small world suddenly trembled! In particular, the ancient scriptures engraved at the origin of the world lit up one by one as if awakening, flickering like breathing, and began to transform the surging chaotic energy into the power of the world.

In this miraculous transformation, the small world began to expand like the creation of the world.

In the void, the newly formed Daoist chains, like a serpent breaking free from its shell, meandered and grew inch by inch, intertwining with the original Order chains that permeated the world, gradually weaving into an even tighter net of the laws of heaven and earth.

The earth rumbled and stretched out, the sky rose higher and higher, the newly formed mountains rose from the ground like the spine of a giant dragon, the rivers widened their own channels, and the surging primordial waters carved out the path of the Great Dao in the ravines.

Luo Heng closed his eyes and concentrated, immersing himself in the magnificent scene that seemed to have created the world.

Although he is not yet fully aware of the profound meaning behind all these changes, he knows clearly that these are the foundation of his future path and an indispensable stepping stone to a higher realm.
