Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

It was as if they had a buff that was constantly repairing Qin Tian's injuries.

After gathering all the sacred fruits to heal his own Dao injuries...

"Let's go, little girl!" Qin Tian led the little girl away from the desolate ancient forbidden zone.

"It's about time to go to the primitive ruins and make some preparations!" Qin Tian muttered to himself.

"That is, after all, the tomb of the Azure Emperor!"

Chapter 198 Secret Technique, Fellow Daoist, Please Wait

Qin Tian had just returned to the Yan Kingdom.

Three rainbows of light soared into the sky.

They saw Qin Tian's figure descend.

The elderly man with flowing white hair at the head of the group looked quite like a sage: "So, you're the one who wants to join the rogue cultivators of my Jade Cauldron Grotto?"

"What?" Qin Tian blinked, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

The white-haired old man frowned, but still said, "Didn't you say in your letter that you would wait for us here and prepare to join my Jade Cauldron Grotto Heaven?"

Qin Tian glanced at the three people in front of him with great interest, his eyes flashing with the marks of time.

"It was just a coincidence!"

"Someone wants to join Jade Cauldron Cave Heaven and has arranged to meet here."

"I just happened to come here, and I was also a cultivator with a child, whose appearance matched mine."

Although Qin Tian is famous, not all cultivators know him. He has only risen to prominence in recent years and has been famous for less than ten years.

Cultivators often live for hundreds or thousands of years; a mere ten years is not even enough for them to go into seclusion once.

Qin Tian's lips curled up slightly: "Well, so I'm getting the same treatment as a certain Divine Bridge Immortal Venerable!"

"Yes, that's me!" Qin Tian nodded and admitted it directly. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so it was good to take a break once in a while.

Moreover, the Qingdi Tomb will be opened soon, and he can't just stay there and keep an eye on it forever.

That would be so boring and pointless!

It's better to find something you're interested in doing; maybe that will give you the opportunity to break through your limitations.

Joining the Jade Cauldron Grotto-heaven for now is just right, since once the Azure Emperor's Tomb makes any unusual moves, its impact will surely be earth-shattering.

Even an ordinary junior cultivator could detect it.

He only needs to set up the necessary formations beforehand, and then wait quietly.

"It's quite inconvenient to do things alone."

"How about I create my own faction to gather resources and intelligence, and handle some time-consuming and laborious tasks?" Qin Tian thought to himself. "Never mind, I'll think about it another day."

"Fellow Daoist, you truly have the art of preserving your youth!" The leading elder looked at Qin Tian's graying temples, then at his own full head of white hair, and couldn't help but say enviously.

Although Qin Tian's cultivation level was unfathomable, his demeanor and appearance clearly indicated that he was a cultivator.

"Hmph, you're quite well-informed. Knowing that our Cave Heaven is going to develop the primitive ruins, you immediately rushed over to join us," an old man with a sarcastic and mean expression mocked.

"What are you talking about!"

The white-haired Taoist priest rebuked, "Fellow Daoist, you joined my Jade Cauldron Grotto Heaven to plot a great cause. You are our fellow Daoists. How can you speak like this?"

Qin Tian watched all of this with great interest; one was a white-faced man, the other a red-faced man—it was all the same in any world.

Qin Tian's gaze, as if looking at a clown, annoyed Old Ou.

The white-haired Taoist priest at the head of the group was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and asked, "I am Ma Tenghua, an elder of Yuding Cave Heaven."

"May I ask your name, who your teacher is, and whether you have studied Taoist scriptures?"

“No problem, I am Daoist Dade, a disciple of Daoist Cao De, and I have also studied Daoist scriptures!” Qin Tian said.

"Oh, you've studied the Taoist scriptures!" Master Ma's eyes lit up with surprise. In his understanding, a cultivator who had studied the Taoist scriptures was no longer considered a rogue cultivator.

At the very least, one can gain access to the power of the Daoist scriptures, and those who have preserved the power of the Daoist scriptures always have powerful backers.

Given their background, they must at least have the cultivation methods of the first few secret realms.

It's not like you can learn one scripture today to open up the sea of ​​suffering, and then learn another scripture tomorrow to open up the spring of life. If you just piece things together, the divine power will be very uncoordinated and full of flaws, making you vulnerable.

Even Qin Tian's method of nurturing the Hundred Scriptures in the furnace did not achieve this level of nurturing.

"Since you have a master, why did you join my Jade Cauldron Grotto?" Ma Teng asked warily.

Qin Tian feigned ignorance: "Although I have studied Taoist scriptures, I did not learn them from a proper grotto-heaven."

"Instead, when I was young, I had a chance to enter an ancestral cave and find a Taoist scripture left by my master, Taoist Cao De. That's how I was fortunate enough to embark on the path of cultivation."

Qin Tian found this quite amusing, so he continued, "Now that I have been cultivating for over ten years without the guidance of a renowned master, I have long since reached a point where I cannot progress any further and have been stuck at my current level for far too long."

Yes, Qin Tian wasn't lying at all. He was a disciple of Daoist Duan De and Cao De, and he had now reached the ninth level of the second level of the Sendai realm, on the verge of severing his Dao. He had been stuck at this level for two years and could not break through.

These are all the absolute truths.

It's not a lie.

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly fortunate!" Elder Ma was surprised, but he didn't care too much. A cultivator's lifespan is often a thousand years. In such a long lifespan, who doesn't have some opportunities?

"That's good!" Elder Ma nodded inwardly. This was also a talented person. He had cultivated the Daoist scriptures and with a little guidance, he would become an elder no less than one from the Jade Cauldron Grotto Heaven.

In the future, when competing with other forces for opportunities in the primitive ruins, it can also provide an extra fighting force.

Their original intention in coming here was to find a cannon fodder to increase their chances of winning in the future competition with other grotto-heavens.

Even if it's just depleting the opponent's elder's divine power reserves, it's still a good thing.

The people before them yearned for the opportunities within the primitive ruins, and they also craved enough cannon fodder to fight against other grotto heavens; otherwise, they wouldn't have so easily agreed to let outsiders enter their Jade Cauldron Grotto Heaven.

In retrospect, it's worth nurturing him a bit and turning him into cannon fodder.

With mutual affection, the group chatted happily and immediately decided to take Qin Tian back to Jade Cauldron Cave Heaven to meet the sect leader and discuss joining Jade Cauldron Cave Heaven.

.........

Jade Cauldron Grotto-Heaven is one of the six great grotto-heavens. Backed by a sacred land, it is a well-known and powerful force in the Yan Kingdom, capable of influencing the rise and fall of the kingdom.

Just as its name suggests, Yuding Cave Heaven is surrounded by mountains and resembles a round cauldron.

A series of verdant fairy mountains surround the center of the round cauldron, and wisps of spiritual energy gather from the mountaintops into the cauldron, with fairy mist swirling around it like a waterfall.

On many misty mountain peaks, one can vaguely see palaces and pavilions, which are very ethereal and have the charm of a fairyland.

Elder Ma Yun pointed to the central Ding Mountain and said proudly, "This is the immortal trace of my Jade Cauldron Grotto-heaven, the foundation of our sect, and contains the Dao traces and insights left by the first grotto-heaven master when he broke through the four extremes."

"I don't know how many sect leaders and elders broke through there and became great supernatural beings of the Dao Palace."

A powerful Daoist master?

Qin Tian nodded inwardly. Surpassing the other shore by a whole realm meant that one's status was comparable to that of a Dao Fruit cultivator, making one a true legend.

Calling him a person of great supernatural power is not an exaggeration.

The evaluation of a certain holy master next door is no less than that of his title of Divine Bridge Immortal Venerable.

As Elder Ma's voice echoed in his ears, a trace of reminiscence and gentleness flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.

The same was true of Qin Tian's sect in the past.

However, it is a level higher than Jade Cauldron Grotto.

The sect is led by a supreme master of the Four Extremes, and the sect also has the lineage of the Great Venerable Dragon Transformation.

Back when Qin Tian was still in the mystery of his gestation, he greatly admired his family's heritage and was determined to inherit the Dragon Transformation lineage and become the second Dragon Transformation Venerable in the sect.

He felt incredibly awkward. The Dragon Transformation Venerable? He could kill a dozen of them with a single slap.

"How wonderful!" Qin Tian exclaimed, listening to Elder Ma introduce the Jade Cauldron Grotto-heaven to him, feeling as if he were dreaming of eighteen years ago.

Elder Ma seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, I haven't yet asked what realm you are at, fellow Daoist."

"I can't compare to the great masters of the Dao Palace," Qin Tian said modestly. "I'm just a minor cultivator at the Immortal Platform level right now."

"Oh, a junior cultivator at the Sendai level... That's good enough. To break through to the Sendai level at this age, fellow cultivator, you'll surely reach the Dao Palace... with hope? Sendai?!"

"What? You say you're a powerful figure from Sendai?" Elder Ma's eyes widened.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Elder Ma also said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, please don't joke around."

“The great master of Sendai possesses great magical power and supernatural abilities that we cannot presume to know. If we speak out, the great master of Sendai will surely discover it.”

Qin Tian wanted to say that the ability to speak with conviction was a quality only Immortal Kings possessed, something that Sendai could not achieve.

But in the end, he said nothing, only smiled and shrugged, saying, "Alright, I am the Divine Bridge Immortal Venerable."

It seems quite fun to occasionally play dumb to outsmart others.

"That's more like it," Elder Ma said.

Old Ou then rebuked, "God Bridge is God Bridge, don't use the term Immortal Venerable. That's a title given by mortals, don't bring it into the cultivation world. You're not worthy of being called Immortal Venerable."

"Only those with supreme supernatural powers in the four extremes can be called Immortal Venerables."

Qin Tian's expression turned strange. There really was someone with supreme supernatural powers?!

"This old woman is really annoying." Qin Tian instantly dismissed his earlier thought of playing dumb to fool others, as the constant provocations had completely ruined the fun.

"I wonder how those protagonists who pretend to be weak to actually do something manage to resist the urge to slap them in the face," Qin Tian muttered to himself. "I certainly couldn't do it."

"Hmm, maybe we can try this." Suddenly, Qin Tian's eyes lit up, and he thought of a good idea.

Countless Dao and Law intertwined in his eyes, with mysterious and unpredictable runes constantly flickering, eventually converging into a single Daoist technique.

Qin Tian immediately activated his newly acquired Dao technique and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

"What's wrong?!" Old Ou turned around at the sound and asked in confusion. The invisible force of luck turned into a curse of bad luck, covering her face with a layer of black aura.

A dark spot between the eyebrows foretells impending bloodshed.

This is a curse technique developed by Qin Tian through his research and understanding of the changes in fortune and the principles of curses, combined with his own red hair and fortune.

The phrase "Fellow Daoist, please wait" is a curse that brings misfortune upon those who fall victim to it. At best, it results in broken arms or legs; at worst, it leads to death and the annihilation of one's Dao.

Such a terrifying secret technique was created by Qin Tian in just a few breaths.

Mastering the "Tao" and "Li" and creating the "Fa" is an extremely simple matter.

Although it was somewhat weak for Qin Tian and had a negligible impact on cultivators of the same realm, its power was considerable for a group of Divine Bridge Celestial Venerables.

Qin Tian smiled kindly: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask where I live."

"The sect leader will make arrangements for this matter."

"Master Sect Leader, that title sounds even better than the Great Divine Power of the Dao Palace."

"Low-key yet sophisticated," Qin Tian commented quietly.

Qin Tian met with the leader of Jade Cauldron Cave Heaven. After a cordial exchange, the two had a deep discussion and reached a cooperation agreement.

In the end, Qin Tian stayed in the Jade Cauldron Cave.

.........

At this moment, the rogue cultivator who was originally going to join Jade Cauldron Grotto arrived on horseback, bringing with him an ordinary-looking young man. Seeing that no one was around, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Where is everyone?"

"I can't ride the rainbow with the young master, I can only ride a horse? Are the people of Jade Cauldron Grotto slower than me?"

"Alright, let's wait!" The rogue cultivator, accompanied by his unremarkable young master, stood in the cold wind for a long time, waiting, but no one came.

The rogue cultivator was filled with rage: "Damn it, have I been tricked?"

"Hmph, if Jade Cauldron Cave doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will."

Long Aotian roared to the sky: "I, Long Aotian, do not believe there is no cave heaven to accommodate me, Long Aotian, and Young Master Liu Bo!"

"Young Master, let's go!"

The ordinary, unremarkable boy shrank back, not daring to look Long Aotian in the eye.

Long Aotian lowered his head and comforted him, "Don't worry, young master! As long as I, Long Aotian, am here, no one can hurt you, Liu Bo!"

Liu Bo, an ordinary man, said, "Brother Long, put me down. If it weren't for me, you would definitely have made it to the Jade Cauldron Cave selection. It's all my fault for making you late."
