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

Qin Tian sighed and rubbed his forehead, feeling the strange looks from those around him.

Is your dog that fierce?

Qin Tian was quite helpless. He really wanted to explain that the dog belonged to Wu Shi's family and was not his.

I don't know him at all!

The presence of others did not affect Jiang Taixu and Caiyun Xiazi at all. The two embraced, having not seen each other for four thousand years, and wished they could be together every moment.

"Really... at their age, still showing off their love." Qin Tian sighed, "Isn't this just torture for single people?"

"Woof, I was abused? When did this happen?" the Black Emperor asked with a look of surprise.

Qin Tian gave him a disgruntled look: "I wasn't talking to you!"

"Jiang Yi, a junior, greets the Divine King Ancestor!"

As soon as Jiang Taixu and Fairy Caiyun parted, Jiang Yi immediately rushed over, knelt on the ground, and respectfully bowed.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the Jiang family."

Chapter 86 The Nine Secrets: My Friend Qin Tian Has the Bearing of an Emperor

Qin Tian raised an eyebrow. This wouldn't do. Without a Saint-level combat power like the God King, how could he go to the Sacred Cliff to obtain the Secret of Travel?

How can I ensure my escape speed, safely proceed to the next step, earn more resources, and feed this ancient holy body?

Qin Tian extended an invitation: "I know of one of the Nine Secrets, located in a dangerous place. Would the God King be interested in coming with me to investigate?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taixu silently lowered the option of returning to the Jiang family in his itinerary by one level.

Anyway, it's been four thousand years since I've been back, so a little more time won't make a difference.

Most of the Jiang family members of the same age are probably dead, so there's no point in going back.

Even if there are a few I know who have managed to break through to the King rank by chance, or who have survived to this day by taking some ancient medicine, they are still old men, not like Caiyun. It doesn't matter whether I look at them or not.

Having mastered the Victory Strategies, he knew how terrifying the Nine Secrets were, and he would not give up the opportunity to acquire their inheritance if given the chance.

Now that a piece of news about the Nine Secrets is right in front of him, how could he not go and find out what it is!

"Woof, you're really lucky!"

"Since you know about the Nine Secrets, why didn't you go and investigate?" the Black Emperor asked, leaning closer.

If it were him, he would rush to find the treasure the moment he received news of it.

In the past, this guy had explored the tomb of the Ruthless Great Emperor in an attempt to find the Devouring Demon Jar, and was then trapped in the Divine Desert for more than a hundred years.

Later, upon hearing that Tu Tian had picked up the Devouring Demon Jar from the riverbank, he was nearly driven to death with rage.

Qin Tian explained, "Do you think everyone is like you? Be more cautious, okay? I wouldn't have gone before because I wasn't strong enough."

Qin Tian looked at Jiang Taixu and said, "Now that the God King has become a saint, he has already explored which dangerous place it is."

"Only sages have barely reached the standard of exploration."

"Could it be a forbidden zone of life!" Jiang Taixu's expression darkened. If it was a forbidden zone of life, Jiang Taixu would have to think it over carefully.

I'm considering changing my itinerary and going back to the Jiang family first, bringing the Hengyu Divine Furnace with me.

The ordeal at Zishan, spanning four thousand years, has left him with psychological scars. Now, he is no longer alone; he still has Caiyun. He cannot act as recklessly as before.

Qin Tian shook his head and said, "It's not a forbidden zone for life, but it's close."

"It's just that nobody's squatting in there."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taixu gave Qin Tian a deep look.

As a descendant of Emperor Hengyu and a former God-King who ruled the Jiang family, he naturally knew very well what existed within the forbidden zone.

In order to quell the Dark Rebellion, all the imperial sons left behind by Emperor Hengyu died in the process.

No, it cannot be considered as quelling the dark unrest.

A ninth-level emperor's son is no match for a supreme being of the forbidden zone. It is more likely that he fed the supreme being of the forbidden zone and devoured a ninth-level emperor's son whose body was filled with imperial blood.

It can devour more beings than several star fields to nourish the Supreme Immortal Platform. Once it is full and satisfied, the Supreme will naturally return to its seal, and the Dark Turmoil will automatically subside.

This is closer to the cruel truth.

Jiang Taixu gave Qin Tian a deep look: "Young friend, you know a lot!"

Jiang Taixu thought to himself, "If he is the successor of that ruthless person, it is normal for him to know the secrets of the world. After all, they are both extreme forces... Even if the Devouring Heaven Holy Land has declined, it is normal for it to leave behind some inheritance."

Qin Tian was unaware that Jiang Taixu already regarded him as a successor of the Ruthless Great Emperor lineage.

Jiang Taixu asked, "Then... where are the Nine Secrets located?"

Qin Tian said decisively, "Sacred Cliff!"

"Oh, so this is the place where the blood of the Great Accomplished Holy Body once stained!" Jiang Taixu's expression was very serious.

The Black Emperor leaned closer and said, "If it's at the Sacred Cliff, you don't need Old Man Jiang. I'll take you to find a senior whose cultivation is even higher than Old Man Jiang's. I guarantee he'll take you across the Sacred Cliff unharmed."

"As long as you give me that piece of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, I will guarantee that you will pass through the Sacred Cliff unharmed and obtain the Nine Secrets."

"Heh, you!" Qin Tian said disdainfully, "I think you're just trying to get something for nothing."

"Woof, Qin brat, what kind of look is that?!" Black Emperor roared angrily, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Are you questioning my ability to make friends?!"

"I don't doubt your ability to make friends, but whether you can get that sage to help you is another matter," Qin Tian said seriously.

Who dares doubt Black King's ability to make friends? This dog was born to lord it over others.

During the ancient immortal era, he was on good terms with many immortal kings in the Nine Heavens, and had close relationships with the two leading figures of the ancient immortal era, Wushi and Liudao Lunhui. He even took true immortals as his servants.

If the supreme beings lurking in the forbidden zones knew that the immortals they yearned for had once been enslaved by such a dog, I wonder what they would think.

It's probably the same feeling that the geniuses who drank the Source of Dao had when they saw the Black Emperor washing his feet with the Source of Dao.

He was briefly resurrected from the earth during the chaotic ancient period. In this life, he is even more legendary. He befriended the patriarch, used the previous life of the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable as his mount, and was also a tyrannical and domineering figure.

Seeing that Qin Tian wouldn't give it to him no matter what he said, Black Emperor complained directly: "Woof, Old Man Jiang, this kid obtained the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold left by your ancestor in the Hengyu Palace of the Primordial Ancient Mine."

Jiang Taixu said nonchalantly, "Since our ancestors left it there, it means it's an opportunity left for future generations. Whoever gets it, it's theirs."

Qin Tian retorted sarcastically, "Did you hear that? You think everyone's like you, unable to resist the sight of immortal gold?"

"However, young friend, you are truly blessed to have entered the Primordial Ancient Mine unscathed and obtained the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold left by your ancestors."

"Adding to the divine mark of purple gold that it already possesses, it truly has profound fortune."

Jiang Taixu exclaimed, "Young friend, you have the bearing of a great emperor!"

He had always considered himself a prodigy, until he met Qin Tian and realized that there are always people more capable than him, and that there is always something beyond his understanding.

To know what kind of demeanor the great emperors of ancient times possessed in their youth.

"No, no, you can't say that about me, I can't accept it!" Qin Tian's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly waved his hands, his face filled with fear.

"God-King, please don't mention such things again in the future?"

"what happened?"

Jiang Taixu was puzzled. Such words were just a common compliment, which was very common among the ancient aristocratic families.

Regardless of the era, any outstanding young person in the new generation will receive such praise.

Jiang Taixu grew up amidst such praise in his youth.

For example, the God King Jiang Taixu has the bearing of an emperor and needs an ultimate imperial weapon as a weapon.

Ji Haoyue: "******"

In his youth, he also believed that he had the potential to become an emperor.

It wasn't until he was trapped in Purple Mountain that he realized how high the sky was, how thick the earth was, and how heavy the title of "Great Emperor" was, not something an ordinary person could bear.

Just like Ji Haoyue now, everyone in the Ji family believes that he has the potential to become an emperor, and he himself thinks so too.

It wasn't until later, when the Golden Age began and one prodigy after another was born, that Ji Haoyue suddenly realized that all those words spoken by her family elders were just to coax children.

The Ji family's true hope lies with Ji Zi, the son of the Void Emperor, not with a divine body.

"That sentence is cursed!" Qin Tian said very seriously.

"Having the bearing of an emperor" is like a curse in the novel *Covering the Sky*, just like "Fellow Daoist, please stay" in *Investiture of the Gods*.

Our former protagonist, Wang Teng, suffered greatly from this.

A group of clansmen spread the word everywhere that my son Wang Teng has the bearing of an emperor, and my brother Wang Teng has the bearing of an emperor.

The result was... a rather tragic end. He was beaten up more than once and suffered various robberies.

It can only be said that Wang Teng's name was ultimately not selected.

The red-haired monster, fate is more inclined towards Ye Fan.

If Wang Teng is the protagonist, then he could be an Earthling who, despite his mortal form, defies the heavens and brutally defeats Ye Fan, the Holy Body of the Northern Plains.

Father Ye shouted, "My son Ye Fan has the potential to achieve a great holy body!"

Qin Tian added, "Anyone who has been said that way usually doesn't have a good future."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taixu was somewhat suspicious. Could it be that he was trapped in Zishan because he was called "the Great Emperor" too many times when he was young?

After all, this is a fantasy world, and curses and the like are still quite prevalent.

Suppressing a young man with the potential to become an emperor is something certain forces are capable of doing, and they also have the power to curse the entire universe.

Every young man who is praised as having the potential to become an emperor will die a tragic death.

Jiang Taixu's thinking was misled onto a wrong path.

But after careful consideration, I still think it's unlikely. If such a curse really exists, where did the ancient emperors come from? A curse issued by a supreme being cannot be blocked by any young person, no matter how amazing they are.

Moreover, his misfortune was just an isolated case. Many people who were said to have the potential to be great emperors ended up with good fortune and lived a life free from calamity.

But he was also inspired, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "That makes some sense."

It was because everyone called him "the demeanor of an emperor" from a young age.

Although nothing seemed amiss on the surface, the sin of arrogance had long been planted in his heart.

So, in his youthful arrogance, he disregarded the dangers of Purple Mountain, did not bring any imperial weapons, and ventured into the mountain alone, ultimately becoming trapped there for four thousand years.

Every bite and sip is ordained by Heaven.

"Let's go, let's head to the Sacred Cliff. I know the coordinates of that place," the Black Emperor said. "Leave the task of carving the Jade Platform to me!"

Qin Tian remained silent, but his divine eyes opened, and a dreamlike flower of time and space quietly bloomed.

He didn't want to go on another day trip to the Primordial Ancient Mine.

"Woof! You can't deny my abilities just because of one of my failures!"

"Trust me, just this once!" The Black Emperor's gaze was firm and extremely sincere.

"Alright!" Qin Tian finally agreed. With a sage like Jiang Taixu present, things couldn't possibly go wrong.

Qin Tian leaned closer to Jiang Taixu and whispered, "Please keep an eye on things, I'm still worried."

"Understood!" Jiang Taixu nodded, recalling Qin Tian's experience of being teleported to the Primordial Ancient Mine. He had just come out of Purple Mountain and did not want to be trapped in the Primordial Ancient Mine for another four thousand years.

He could withstand the transformation and the renewal of his lifespan, but Fairy Caiyun clearly couldn't.

The Black Emperor meticulously crafted the array platform.

After finishing the drawing, Jiang Taixu inspected it and nodded, saying, "No problem!"

The Black Emperor stood with his hands on his hips, looking extremely arrogant: "What did I tell you!"

"My cultivation level was once far superior to that of old man Jiang."

Ah, finally a normal update! That's something!

Chapter 87 Sacred Cliff, the Unlucky Black Emperor

Black Emperor straightened up, hands on his hips, his shorts billowing in the wind: "Whenever I get serious, there's nothing I can't do."

"Alright, stop bragging, you've already flown to the sky!" Qin Tian interrupted the smug Black Emperor.
