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

"Senior, the reason I've come here is twofold. First, I wish to deal with Senior God King Jiang Taixu. I was preoccupied with refining the artifact for my Dao attainment and was unable to attend to him before, which was truly disrespectful to Senior God King."

This time, I just want to deal with this matter.

Secondly, I hope that you, senior, can lend me a hand again and accompany me to retrieve some things.” Luo Heng replied with a smile.

Gai Jiuyou and Wei Yi had no objections, but Xia Jiuyou's eyes lit up when she heard that Luo Heng was going out to search for treasure again.

Gai Jiuyou took out the octagonal storage artifact, turned it slightly, and a flash of light released the God King Jiang Taixu from it.

At this moment, Jiang Taixu's condition was significantly better than before he entered the magical artifact.

Firstly, Gai Jiuyou did not prevent him from absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, allowing him to continuously recover his condition.

Secondly, he had previously taken the tears that had an effect comparable to the elixir of immortality, and the effects of the medicine were taking effect, making him look refreshed and younger.

After Jiang Taixu emerged, he didn't lose his composure. He calmly surveyed his surroundings, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the group.

"Many thanks to the seniors and young friends for saving my life."

He paused, then asked, "Where are you now? And... has Jiang left yet? My family and friends must be worried about me these past few years, so it's really inconvenient for me to stay away from home for long."

Gai Jiuyou uttered four words calmly: "Yaoguang Holy Land".

As for the second question, he didn't answer, but instead turned his gaze to Luo Heng beside him—the meaning was clear: he would decide this matter.

Jiang Taixu looked surprised and followed the gaze to Luo Heng.

However, when Jiang Taixu saw Luo Heng at this moment, his pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he looked at the holy light surrounding him.

"The Holy Land of Yao Guang truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most powerful forces in the Eastern Wilderness; its foundation is indeed unfathomable."

Such a secret technique is something I have never seen before. In terms of its profound mystery alone, it is no less than the *Hengyu Jing* of my Jiang family.

While expressing these sentiments verbally, Jiang Taixu couldn't help but ponder them in his heart.

Regarding the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, any power with the inheritance of an emperor knows that it is nonsense!

Having witnessed Luo Heng's secret technique today, he guessed that it might be a legacy left by an ancient emperor, perhaps even the one who refined the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.

Thinking this, Jiang Taixu's expression became even more serious.

"Senior Jiang Taixu," Luo Heng said, "we rescued you because we felt that a human sage like you should not be trapped and die in Zishan."

"As for whether you want to go home—of course you can."

He then changed the subject: "However, I have a suggestion I'd like to discuss with you."

Jiang Taixu looked puzzled: "A suggestion?"

"Senior God King, your current physical condition is not good. If you return directly to the Jiang family, and the news leaks out, the Jiang family will likely become the target of everyone's criticism instantly."

Surely you have quite a few enemies in this world, senior?

If they join forces to attack you, senior, even if you yourself are safe and sound, your younger relatives, old friends or confidantes will suffer misfortune because of you. I think this is definitely not a scene that you would like to see.

Jiang Taixu frowned slightly.

He had never liked such roundabout calculations and wanted to politely decline.

But when he heard the words "confidante", his expression clearly paused for a moment.

Luo Heng continued, "Therefore, I dare to suggest that you quietly go back first and not make a fuss."

Once the God-King has recovered sufficiently, feign weakness and exhaustion after your escape, and lure out those formidable enemies who harbor murderous intent towards you.

"At that time, the Yao Guang Holy Land is willing to join forces with our seniors to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Jiang Taixu remained silent, his eyes lowered in deep thought.

After a long pause, he spoke: "This matter is indeed beneficial to the Jiang family. But what do you, Yao Guang, hope to gain by interfering?"

Luo Heng smiled and didn't beat around the bush: "Yaoguang is naturally not doing good deeds either."

Firstly, this opportunity can be used to establish a good relationship with the Jiang family;

Secondly…” he paused, “we want the remains of the Night King.”

Jiang Taixu frowned slightly: "How can you be so sure that the Dark Night King will definitely make a move? Also, what use do you have for the Dark Night King's corpse?"

Luo Heng just smiled and remained silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Taixu did not ask any further questions.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.

Firstly, this matter would not harm him. If there was any concern, it was that it might slightly damage his reputation. However, Jiang Taixu had lived for thousands of years and was not a pedantic person.

Secondly, it also serves as repayment for Luo Heng's life-saving grace.

Yes, in Jiang Taixu's view, although he had given the "Fight" secret to Luo Heng, Luo Heng had also returned the "Soldier" secret to him! If you really think about it, he still owed him a favor.

Therefore, he had no reason to refuse this not-too-excessive request.

Upon seeing this, Luo Heng immediately asked Wei Yi to escort the God King back to the Jiang family.

Wei Yi naturally nodded in agreement.

Seeing Jiang Taixu and Wei Yi leave, Xia Jiuyou, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't contain himself and asked:

"Liar, liar! What exactly are you planning? I know you're using the Dark Night King's corpse to cultivate the Undying Heavenly Art, but is it really worth going to such lengths for just one Dark Night King?"

"If you really need it, just tell my master, and he'll kill the Dark Night King—it'll be as easy as taking candy from a baby."

Hearing this, Gai Jiuyou couldn't help but roll his eyes at his little apprentice.

Luo Heng's smile faded, and he sighed softly, "Do you still remember what I said to Jiang Taixu in Purple Mountain?"

Xia Jiuyou grumbled in dissatisfaction, "You said so much, how am I supposed to know which sentence you meant?"

After a moment's thought, I realized, "You said, 'I don't know if saving him is helping him or harming him.'"

She looked at Luo Heng with a puzzled expression: "What does this seemingly random sentence mean?"

Luo Heng stopped keeping everyone in suspense and began to explain:

"Jiang Taixu achieved fame at a young age and possessed the most powerful of the Nine Secrets, the 'Fighting' Secret. In his youth, he also had a touching romance with the Purple Mansion Saintess, Fairy Caiyun."

"He can be described as a remarkable figure of his time."

"However, according to the original trajectory, he would have been trapped in Purple Mountain until he was exhausted and about to pass away when he encountered Ye Fan, the contemporary Ancient Holy Body, who broke in."

Jiang Taixu couldn't bear to see the young man die, nor did he want the Nine Secrets to be lost. On his deathbed, he passed on the secret of the character "Dou" to Ye Fan and instructed Ye Fan that Purple Mountain was a dead end and that he should not ask anyone to come and rescue him.

However, Jiang Taixu never expected that Ye Fan was also a grateful person.

He seized the opportunity to claim that Zishan had the Nine Secrets of Inheritance, which successfully attracted several major sects and holy lands to attack Zishan with supreme imperial weapons. The Jiang family also took the opportunity to use the supreme imperial weapon Hengyu Furnace to rescue the God King Jiang Taixu.

However, at that time, Taixu was extremely weak and on the verge of death, and could only recuperate in the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Divine City.

His return has affected the interests of too many people.

Thirteen supreme experts, three former archenemies—the living dead—and the Dark Night King—were there to receive the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron, setting a deadly trap.

"etc,"

Xia Jiuyou suddenly interrupted him, asking with a suspicious look, "You mean the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron?"
