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

The white-haired Bodhi Patriarch sat serenely on the cloud platform and began to speak: "Alchemy, array formation, weapon crafting, painting, fate observation, the source of heaven..."

"These are the myriad arts of cultivation, which, through the summarization of generations, have become an indispensable path to aid cultivation."

“A cultivator must have a skill,” Qin Tian said quietly. “Whether it’s to earn cultivation resources or to assist in the cultivation of the Great Dao, they are all excellent aids.”

For example, Qin Tian himself is an undisputed grandmaster in the art of array formations. Although he has not made a move for a long time, it does not mean that he has become rusty.

In the original novel, Ye Fan is also the supreme grandmaster of the Yuan Tian Dao, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him the Yuan Emperor.

Ye Fan's good brother Pang Bo studied alchemy, but the reason for that was...

Because chewing on a coffin lid is also a skill. How to chew it, and what kind of elixirs to use to help chew it, are all knowledgeable, and this knowledge undoubtedly belongs to the realm of alchemy.

"I understand the principles, but why are you teaching me to dig graves?" Ye Fan held the Underworld Emperor Scripture in his hand and kept flipping through it.

What scouting, what eighteen shovels of the underworld—Ye Fan scrutinized the text for a long time before finally deciphering the meaning between the lines: the entire book was filled with the two words "grave digging."

Ye Fan frowned and muttered, "These words inexplicably remind me of a damn fat guy!"

Qin Tian remained silent; Ye Fan's intuition seemed to be quite sharp.

This Netherworld Emperor Scripture is a scripture that Qin Tian stitched together by combining the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Grave-Digging Manual given to him by Duan De.

The stitching together was effortless, the sentences flowed smoothly, and the logic was clear, as if it were something that was naturally meant to be done this way.

"As expected... the Ruthless Great Emperor once received Duan De's inheritance."

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The Ruthless Great Emperor devoured all bodies to create the post-natal chaos.

That's ten thousand different physiques. Ten thousand different physiques mean ten thousand extraordinary talents. Even in this unprecedented golden age, it's not certain that so many special physiques could be produced.

It's impossible for the Ruthless Great Emperor to have produced so many different physiques in one era; the only way to find them is by digging up graves and excavating the tombs of the ancient geniuses.

It is precisely because of this cause and effect that Duan De was able to wield the Devouring Demon Canopy, which represents the ruthless man's primordial spirit, in the original work.

However, now, compared to a cause and effect, it is clear that Qin Tian, ​​the "older brother," is more qualified to take control of the Devouring Demon Cover.

"Why do you have to teach me the art of grave robbing? You could teach me something else, like alchemy or weapon crafting. Aren't those better than grave robbing?" Ye Fan was very disgusted with this scripture. He was an upright and honorable man with a divinely gifted body. How could he possibly do such petty and despicable things?

Qin Tian said quietly, "This Netherworld Emperor Scripture was compiled by a being who walks the path of immortality in the mortal world."

"Master, how did you know that your disciple loves digging up graves the most! Master, you are so kind!" Upon hearing this, Ye Fan immediately showed a bright smile.

Emperor Ye selectively forgot his earlier thoughts.

Even extraordinary talent can't fill an empty stomach, and the Holy Body also needs to eat.

Ye Fan said seriously, "You should know that I earned my first pot of gold since my debut at the Tomb of the Azure Emperor."

“This scripture was made just for me.”

"I was born to dig up graves!"

Ye Fan opened the Netherworld Emperor Scripture with great interest: "The methods of the Immortal in the Mortal World are profound and extensive. There must be some profound truths in them that I have overlooked."

I only glanced at it briefly, so it's perfectly normal to have overlooked some things.

Such legendary scriptures must be examined carefully and slowly to discover their mysteries.

That's what Ye Fan told himself.

But after carefully reading it several times, I felt something was wrong.

Ye Fan looked at the Netherworld Emperor Scripture in his hand with a strange expression, and said suspiciously, "What supreme technique? What Netherworld Emperor Scripture? Isn't this still about digging up graves and robbing tombs?"

Ye Fan couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Is this thing really related to becoming an immortal?"

Qin Tian said quietly, "I'll give you a test. As long as you can skillfully use the supreme techniques recorded in this scripture, you'll be considered a master."

Qin Tian gave Ye Fan a coordinate, which recorded the location of a large tomb.

Ye Fan was about to agree when he suddenly remembered Qin Tian's words and abruptly looked up: "Wait until I graduate?"

"Isn't it too early, Master?"

Qin Tian shook his head and said, "It's not now, I'm just letting you know in advance."

Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Life in Fangcun Mountain was too wonderful, with both resources and leisure. He didn't want to leave: "You scared me."

Qin Tian continued, "Once you have achieved minor mastery of the Four Extremes, I will help you eliminate the last hidden danger, which will be the time for you to graduate."

"what!"

"What's the difference between this and immediately becoming a master?" Ye Fan said, feeling wronged. As long as he had the necessary cultivation resources, he could break through to the fourth level at any time.

"The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you," Qin Tian said solemnly.

"When I was young, I didn't..." Qin Tian paused.

"When I was young..."

"Am I getting old? Why do I keep saying that!" Qin Tian sighed. His face still looked young, like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was almost fifty years old in both his past and present lives.

Qin Tian said listlessly, "I will guide you into the Four Extremes Realm. Once you have achieved minor success in your Sacred Body and are capable of facing the world on your own, then you can leave the mountain."

"One cannot achieve the Great Dao by blindly relying on one's master."

Ye Fan raised his hand and said, "But Master, didn't Senior Brother Wukong take seven years to complete his apprenticeship?"

“Hey, you need to understand, a monkey is a monkey, and you are you!” Qin Tian said meaningfully, “Don’t compare yourself to a monkey in everything.”

"The monkey froze the seven fairies in place, so they did nothing but pick peaches. What about you?!"

Ye Fan was speechless; no matter how many times he heard it, he instinctively protested.

Ye Fan suggested changing his Daoist name, but Qin Tian said that it was all to temper his Daoist heart. If you can't even face your own true self, then no matter what, you won't go far on the path of cultivation.

Ye Fan once thought it made a lot of sense.

Until one day, he suddenly realized that his true nature had become black-hearted!

This is wrong!

But you can't fight city hall, and after a while, it started to sound pleasing to the ear.

Ye Fan asked curiously, "Master, what is the reason why the Holy Body cannot achieve even a minor level of mastery?"

As for the reason of the changes in heaven and earth, Ye Fan did not believe it. There was no reason why among so many powerful physiques, only the Ancient Sacred Body was affected by the changes!

"Because of the curse!" Qin Tian explained to him.

"In the past, the Nine Sacred Bodies fought against the heavens with too much power, almost driving some people crazy."

"So they joined forces to plant a curse. The curse merged with heaven and earth, and when the Holy Body was born, the curse and the Holy Body's essence descended upon the host together."

"Ah! So, I have a curse inside me right now?" Ye Fan was shocked and began to search himself up and down.

Qin Tian said irritably, "The power of the curse is still weak, so it can't be seen yet."

"The curse was born with the Holy Body's origin and grew with it, eventually erupting completely in the Holy Body's later years, which is the origin of the Holy Body's ominous later years."

Ye Fan stopped what he was doing and asked, puzzled, "But what does this have to do with the fact that the Sacred Body can't break through to the Four Extremes? The Sacred Body is said to have an inauspicious later life, but the Sacred Body has already reached its peak!"

"I haven't finished yet." Qin Tian shook his head: "But they never expected that this would not only sever the lineage of the Holy Body, but would also make them even more powerful."

After all, I'm destined for an unfortunate old age. If I don't fight you while I'm in my prime, what am I going to do but grow old and grow red hair?

Qin Tian sighed, "In the end, they forced out an unprecedentedly powerful and peerless expert."

"It nearly razed the forces that planted the curse to the ground, forcing them to flee to the Chaos, and even its ruler left as a result."

Qin Tian explained slowly, "So after that powerful figure disappeared, that force, after much agonizing reflection, planted an even more powerful curse. This time, they wouldn't even allow the Holy Body to break through to the Four Extremes."

Ye Fan asked curiously, "Who is the force that planted the curse on the Holy Body? And who is that powerful figure who drove them to the brink of despair?"

"It was the Underworld that planted the curse on the Holy Body, and it was the Great Emperor Wushi who forced the Underworld to flee into chaos."

"Was Emperor Wushi also a Holy Body? Isn't it said that Holy Bodies cannot attain enlightenment?" Ye Fan asked curiously, naturally wanting to ask more detailed questions since it concerned his path to enlightenment.

Qin Tian stated directly, "Wu Shi is a sacred body, but it is not merely a sacred body."

"He is the offspring of the Western Emperor of Yaochi and a Great Accomplished Holy Body. He is a Primordial Holy Body Dao Embryo, a supreme physique comparable to the Chaos Body."

Ye Fan nodded thoughtfully, still unaware of the true significance of the Emperor's son's attainment of enlightenment.

Qin Tian tempted, "You have a sacred body. If you absorb the origin of the Dao Embryo, you might be able to glimpse the realm of the Beginningless of the past."

“Sacred Body, Dao Embryo,” Ye Fan murmured.

"Indeed, if you can possess both the power of the Holy Body and the Dao Embryo, you might be able to break the curse that the Holy Body cannot attain Dao."

Qin Tian said very seriously, "So the reason I taught you the Underworld Emperor Scripture is to let you seek the Dao underground, find the corpse of a primordial Dao embryo, and absorb her origin to combine with your own sacred body's origin."

"Then reverse your origin and transform into an acquired holy body Dao embryo. In this way, you will no longer be a pure holy body, and you will naturally have no worries about proving the Dao," Qin Tian tricked Ye Fan.

Then he said meaningfully, "After all, you don't want to be a perpetual runner-up for the rest of your life, do you?"

Ye Fan now is not the future Holy Body Ye Fan, and firmly believes that even as a Holy Body, he can still attain enlightenment.

The fact that a sacred body cannot attain enlightenment remains an ironclad rule in Ye Fan's mind.

Now, a seemingly insurmountable road lies before him.

It can break the age-old curse that prevents the Holy Body from attaining enlightenment.

Why don't you leave? It's just digging up a grave, it's no big deal!

Ye Fan shook his head vigorously: "No, I don't want to."

"It was a misunderstanding on my part, Master," Ye Fan said gratefully. "I didn't understand Master's good intentions."

Qin Tian handed Ye Fan something: "Take this. If you encounter a formidable opponent, use this to defeat them in one strike."

"Is this a brick?"

Ye Fan took it, tilted his head in a daze, and looked at the item in his hand. It was square, just like the bricks he remembered.

But upon closer inspection, it's not surprising. After all, our hero Nezha uses bricks as weapons, so it's not unusual.

Qin Tian flicked his wrist, concealing his figure, leaving only one sentence: "Go, go, go!"

"Yes, Master, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Ye Fan bowed respectfully.

So Ye Fan shouldered the shovel, picked up the Xuan Yutai, and marched proudly toward the designated large tomb.

.........

Qin Tian formed a hand seal and summoned a round mirror. The image displayed on it was the large tomb that Qin Tian had chosen for Ye Fan.

Someone has already scouted the location.

He was radiant and robust; he was none other than Qin Tian's most respected master.

"I hope that this time, you two, grandfather and grandson, can create something special," Qin Tian said meaningfully.

"Don't let me down, Ye Fan!"

"Let your true nature shine through."

"Let my beloved master, your dear grandmaster, experience the baptism of Ye Hei, and it would be best to help my beloved master get rid of his grave addiction."

As a disciple, Qin Tian felt he should take the initiative to help Duan De make rapid progress on his path to immortality.

May he break through to the realm of immortals in the mortal world as soon as possible.

Qin Tian pretended to be serious and said, "Alas, is there any disciple in the world as good as me? In order to spur my master to cultivate the Dao, I spared no effort and spent millions of catties of source to cultivate a holy body."

"But it's all worth it, as long as we can get Master back on the right track," Qin Tian sighed.

He was so eager to improve.

The fastest way to improve is to compete against other geniuses of the same level, where you keep chasing each other without ever stopping.

But now the prodigies of the Big Dipper are all too young, not even reaching the Sendai level, how can they fight him?

Even Ye Fan, on whom he had placed high hopes, was no match; the difference in their cultivation levels was too great.

The only one who could possibly be Qin Tian's opponent is Duan De, the Nirvana Celestial Venerable.

If Duan De is willing, he can grow to Qin Tian's level as quickly as possible, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to be halfway to the T0 level.

With a little more effort, you will find the great path of cultivation in this life, and there will be no problem in truly stepping into that realm.

Chapter 232 The Method of Becoming an Immortal After Death, Ascension to the Azure Gold Cauldron

Of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, Qin Tian only has qi at the T0 level; the other two treasures, essence and spirit, are inferior to qi.
