I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

!

－－－－－－

Quietly awaiting the final moments, Luo Mo delved into the lifelong cultivation experiences of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, gleaned from the True Spirit Seal's scans.

Simultaneously, he became privy to some internal secrets of the Undying Heavenly Emperor's lineage—quite scandalous and explosive.

Fortunately, he wasn't interested in gossip; otherwise, the Undying Heavenly Emperor's little black book would have been plastered everywhere.

However, there would be no problem in becoming an insider and dropping bombshells in the Great Luo Realm in the future.

Finally, the deadline arrived. The people of the Big Dipper were about to return to the Sun Moon Dynasty to participate in this Eternal Starfield expedition, and the cultivators from various lineages on Earth who were willing to go to the Big Dipper had also gathered.

Among them, many wanted to pay their respects to Luo Mo, the current sage, in person, but after Luo Mo returned from Firefly, he refused to see outsiders, focusing solely on digesting the Undying Heavenly Emperor's lifelong cultivation experience.

He sat on Mount Tai, yet no one dared to approach and disturb him.

Luo Mo had lost track of time because the Undying Heavenly Emperor was, after all, one of the strongest beings in this universe, possessing immense power and profound insights into the Heaven-Suppressing method, unique perspectives, and close contact with the Immortal Bell. All this knowledge was now copied by Luo Mo, and he was engrossed in it.

When the time came, everyone had gathered, but Luo Mo was still comprehending. Ye Fan cleared his throat and transmitted his voice, "Time's up."

Luo Mo opened his eyes, a hint of regret lingering.

Countless runes danced around him, as if stars were falling and gathering beside him. Finally, some runes interwoven with pitch-black and dark red hues coalesced into an Eye of Destruction, which then gave rise to the entire body of the Nine Nether.

Meanwhile, other multicolored runes continuously intertwined, transforming into five dazzling tail feathers, as if the rules of the Great Dao were manifesting in the mortal realm, capable of severing everything in the world. Subsequently, the runes continued to evolve, and a divine phoenix was born, circling around Luo Mo alongside the Nine Nether.

The Nine Nether Treasure Technique and the True Phoenix Treasure Technique—two techniques that did not belong to this era—were obtained by Luo Mo.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor was a celestial phoenix from the Immortal Realm who accidentally fell into the Heaven-Suppressing universe through a rift. He possessed the supreme inheritance of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique. Unfortunately, this world no longer provided the conditions for him to cultivate the ancient methods, so he could only use the True Phoenix Treasure Technique as a reference to integrate it into his own Heaven-Suppressing method.

Therefore, the secret techniques within the Undying Heavenly Emperor's Divine Spirit Scripture were indeed very powerful because they drew inspiration from the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, a technique at the Immortal King level.

But alas, the Undying Heavenly Emperor's inheritance had some flaws and was incomplete. Moreover, the Heaven-Suppressing universe lacked elders from the True Phoenix clan to teach him the complete True Phoenix Treasure Technique; otherwise, he would have been even more powerful.

However, while Luo Mo was comprehending...

This meant that a portion of the mysterious rune cluster of the Divine Phoenix Undying Medicine contained records of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique!

However, this cluster of information had a unique way of existing. In simple terms, it was scrambled code. The information it recorded was all mixed up and not sorted out. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been his turn; Hong Yi herself would have awakened the True Phoenix Treasure Technique.

If he hadn't scanned the Undying Heavenly Emperor this time, it would have been difficult for him to restore it without any clues or references.

Comparing it with the Undying Heavenly Emperor's portion of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, Luo Mo painstakingly unraveled the scrambled runes in the core rune cluster of the Divine Phoenix Undying Medicine, sorting out the part that belonged to the True Phoenix Treasure Technique.

Now, beside him, the spirit of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, transformed from runes, danced—this was the complete True Phoenix Treasure Technique!

There was still a lot of other information in that core rune cluster, perhaps other powerful inheritances from the Divine Phoenix Undying Medicine's previous life, but without references, Luo Mo found it difficult to restore them and would probably have to wait for the future.

After all, the previous forms of the Undying Divine Medicines were all very powerful. It was not a simple task to completely restore the information they left behind.

The spirit body of the Nine Nether Treasure Technique, with its red hair and black scales, exuded endless baleful aura, causing a chill to run from the base of everyone's spines straight to the crown of their heads!

Meanwhile, the spirit body of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique was majestic and dignified, high above, overlooking all living beings.

After the two treasure techniques completed their final condensation, they flew into Luo Mo's body and merged into his blessed land.

The blessed land nurtured spirits. They would usually reside in the blessed land, absorbing essence to make themselves stronger, so that they could unleash even greater power when the cultivator needed to use the treasure techniques.

The brief appearance of the spirit bodies of the Nine Nether Treasure Technique and the True Phoenix Treasure Technique caused the cultivators gathered on Mount Tai to fall into a brief silence, but their hearts were roaring like tsunamis.

They didn't recognize the aura of the Nine Nether, but who didn't know the True Phoenix?

That aura, even if it wasn't a True Phoenix, was probably extremely close. Did such a divine bird with such powerful bloodline really exist in the world? Was it real or illusory?

"Is everyone here?" Luo Mo asked.

"Everyone is here."

"Mm." Luo Mo scanned the cultivators below Mount Tai and waved his hand, instantly taking everyone into his blessed land.

The cultivators only felt that the world had changed in an instant. Bright stars hung in the sky, and the stellar power was strong. Cultivating and refining the essence of stars here would be twice as effective!

Moreover, the world's essence energy here was rich, no less than the so-called spiritual mountains and divine lands.

Especially the cultivators from Earth who were used to living a hard life were immediately overjoyed after arriving in the blessed land because the environment here was simply too good!

The world's essence energy was rich, the light of the sun, moon, and stars was strong, and even the Great Dao was very close. A gust of wind blew by, and there were faint sounds of the Dao in the air.

"Have we arrived at the Big Dipper? So fast?"

"The Big Dipper Star is indeed a planet with a flourishing cultivation civilization. With such an environment, how could it not flourish?"

"The environment here is simply too good!"

The cultivators of the Sun Moon Dynasty saw that the cultivators from Earth actually thought this was the Big Dipper, so they coughed and said, "Ahem, everyone, this is not the Big Dipper yet."

"That's right, this should be inside Luo Sect Leader's Origin Tool."

"There's still some distance to the Big Dipper; it won't be that fast."

They had experienced space travel and knew that even with the strength of Jiang Li and Luo Mo, it would take several hours to arrive with the help of an altar. Therefore, the answer was obvious: they should be inside a magical artifact similar to an Origin Tool.

Many mortals lived in Luo Mo's Pure Yang Mirror, praying every day to generate the power of faith and condense the Pure Yang Mirror. This was not a secret, and everyone knew it.

Therefore, they assumed that this was the inside of one of Luo Mo's Origin Tools.

After all, Luo Mo's Origin Tools were all refined by excavating divine soil, and the environment here was clearly full of divine soil, so it must be the inside of an Origin Tool.

Ye Fan didn't explain because there wasn't much difference between saying it was an Origin Tool or a blessed land. Anyway, it was a place for everyone to rest temporarily.

"So that's how it is!"

"Inside the magic artifact, there's another world. Sect Leader Luo is truly a master of creation!"

"Huh? This place seems to be not small. My Dharma Eyes, cultivated with secret methods, are enough to see through three thousand miles, but I can't see the boundary," a cultivator from Earth said in surprise.

Ye Fan smiled and explained, "This place is three million miles in circumference."

The Earth cultivators were all taken aback, "Three million miles in circumference?"

"More than a hundred times larger than the diameter of Earth?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, this place is actually so big!"

Even the cultivators of the Big Dipper were secretly shocked. The Pure Yang Origin Tool they knew didn't seem to be this big, did it grow again?

Wang Teng, with his Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes, also saw the extraordinary nature of this place and asked, "Ye Fan, is all the soil here like this divine soil?"

His cultivation was naturally stronger than the Earth cultivator just now. The other party could only see through three thousand miles, but Wang Teng, who had already severed the Dao, could see as far as three million miles. After scanning around, he could discover the extraordinary nature of the blessed land. Every piece of land and every grain of sand here exuded divine radiance.

“Didn't you already see it?”

“...But it's hard to accept.”

Seeing it is one thing, but confirming it is another.

On Beidou, everyone is still searching everywhere for sacred soil. Each time they find a piece, they are ecstatic. Besides the valuable Pure Yang Pills, it also represents the potential to turn it into a foundation. If a force can possess a piece of sacred soil, the cultivation progress of its disciples will be greatly accelerated.

But here, sacred soil is everywhere!

Even the gravel contains the essence of heaven and earth. For cultivators here, even eating dirt counts as cultivation.

“The aura here feels so comfortable,” Ji Ziyue said.

As a Yuan Ling Body, she is close to the origin of heaven and earth. The abundant and diverse origin essence of the cave heaven makes her feel naturally comfortable.

Ji Haoyue also gathered some heaven and earth essence, condensing it into a colorful essence pill in his hand. “Indeed, this place is very suitable for cultivation. Every element in the air can nourish the physical body, primordial spirit, or divine power.”

The air here is full of nutrients needed by cultivators.

“There are still a few hours to go. It's rare to have such an environment, so everyone should cultivate in peace. This is not a place we can come to often.”

Jiang Yifei said, feeling that he might be able to apply to retire here in the future because the environment is so good that he wouldn't want to leave once he arrived.

...

On the Mount Tai altar, Zhang Wenchang, Liu Yiyi, and Luo Mo bid farewell.

The Five Elements Array that Luo Mo had previously set up was injecting power into the Mount Tai altar. Eight trigram symbols burst forth, and Luo Mo entered the coordinates, opening a gate to the starry sky.

He looked back at Earth, his gaze piercing through the barriers of space. After a moment, he stepped into the star gate and disappeared from Earth.

Zhang Wenchang looked at the slowly closing star gate, his heart calm.

He thought of the matter he had consulted Ye Fan about last time. Because some people were trying to please Luo Mo's parents, even guiding them in cultivation and sending them various precious medicinal herbs and pills, it seemed that everyone thought this was the best opportunity after Luo Mo announced his expedition to Beidou, and they hurried to curry favor.

But Zhang Wenchang felt something was wrong because Luo Mo didn't seem to have visited his parents since returning to Earth.

Unsure, he went to consult Ye Fan.

“Luo Mo doesn't care. It's useless for them to try to please him. I've already told them, so you don't need to worry,” Ye Fan said, already understanding Luo Mo's mentality.

“He doesn't care?”

Ye Fan couldn't help but lower his voice, saying, “Luo Mo once said that this is his second life. Don't think of him as one of us.”

“Second life?”

Zhang Wenchang didn't react for a moment, taking a while to digest the information. “I see. Then I... then I can't completely ignore it, right?”

“Let them do whatever they want, just make sure they don't encounter any accidents or dangers, and that they are not humiliated by anyone. But as for cultivation… let it be. Kunlun has been taken away by us, and the Earth's cultivation environment will slowly recover in the future. If they are willing to cultivate, then you can teach them, but there's no need to deliberately try to please them.”

Zhang Wenchang smiled wryly. “I'm just afraid that some people on Earth will have ulterior motives. The people from our dynasty have been visiting without any concealment during this time, and many people have noticed.”

“Just deal with those who have bad intentions directly. If they want to curry favor, then let them. Just do your own job well.”

Zhang Wenchang nodded. “I understand.”

Kill those who want to do bad things directly. If they want to cultivate, Zhang Wenchang will teach them. If they don't want to cultivate, Zhang Wenchang will ensure they live a normal, wealthy life.

After hearing what Ye Fan said, Zhang Wenchang felt that this should also be Luo Mo's idea. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left his old classmate here. He is responsible for the Earth's virtual world, and the power to impart scriptures is naturally in his hands.

“After this farewell, I don't know when we'll meet again,” Zhang Wenchang said with some emotion. “Ye Fan, whether it's the expedition to the Eternal Starfield or the future conquest of the starry sky, it's full of danger. You must live, and I'll be waiting for you on Earth to come back and drink!”

Ye Fan patted Zhang Wenchang's shoulder and looked at Liu Yiyi, who had been listening quietly without speaking. After thinking about it, he ultimately didn't use his claws to pat the girl's shoulder, after all, Ji Ziyue was also on Earth.

“Don't worry, I will definitely live well. I am going to become the tenth Dacheng Holy Body!” Ye Fan said heroically, “After I leave, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my family.”

During the three years that Ye Fan returned, he used precious blood to help his parents restore their youth and lay a foundation, intending to slowly teach them cultivation and let them live forever with him.

But an accident happened.

His parents were not very interested in cultivation. After Ye Fan fed them some precious medicine, the two regained their youth, and then…

Then they gave Ye Fan a younger brother!

Well, it didn't quite go according to Ye Fan's script.

There was nothing he could do. His parents didn't like cultivation very much, but restoring their youth awakened their second spring.

So, Ye Fan had a younger brother who, from a young age, was cleansed of his marrow and bones by the Holy Body with various precious medicines, blood, and pills, laying a good foundation. He was just about to slowly teach him, surpassing Wang Teng's younger brother Wang Chong, when he received the news that he was going on an expedition to the Eternal Starfield.

There was nothing he could do but entrust it to Zhang Wenchang.

Although Zhang Wenchang's cultivation was a bit lower, his foundation was very solid. Ye Fan was quite relieved to have him teach his younger brother.

“Don't worry, I will take care of him at all times.”

“Oh, right, this time when we went to Yinghuo, we befriended an old monk in the depths of Yinghuo's ground. Shakyamuni even learned the Dharma from him. He is a Great Sage.” Ye Fan also mentioned this matter.

“A Great Sage?”

The two exclaimed, not expecting that there was actually a super expert beneath the Yinghuo planet they had passed by, a Great Sage-level existence, enough to support a large clan. A Great Sage is standard equipment for the strong clans among the ancient clans.

“Luo Mo gave him a ray of immortal light to extend his life. He promised to help take care of Earth. If something happens and we can't rush back in time, burn Pure Yang Pills and activate the Violet Copper Tower to strike Yinghuo once.”

This was the idea Ye Fan came up with for Zhang Wenchang. He couldn't say for sure whether the Great Sage would be watching Earth at all times, because the old monk still had to guard Yinghuo.

So he came up with this idea, telling Zhang Wenchang to directly use Luo Mo's Violet Copper Tower to launch an attack on Yinghuo in an emergency, to remind the old monk.

Although it might be a bit impolite, his family was on Earth, and he felt that this was better.

As for taking his family to Beidou?

He had mentioned it, but his parents were unwilling to leave their homeland, saying that their children had grown up and were doing well in their development, so they didn't need to worry about them.

And Earth had the Hangu Pass that Luo Mo mentioned. Many people along the starry sky road wanted to invade Earth, but ordinary people couldn't get in at all. They took the special route of the Nine Dragons Coffin to get in, so theoretically it was still very safe.

So, uu read books

He let his parents stay, anyway, Earth's security measures were strong enough, with a Sage King weapon and a Great Sage helping to watch over it.

Before leaving, he and his classmates who had ridden the Nine Dragons Coffin gathered together. What awaited them next was a great battle in the starry sky!

“We're here.”

Luo Mo's voice awakened everyone from their cultivation state. A portal appeared above their heads.

They flew out, and many Beidou cultivators were discussing what Beidou had become after they had been gone for three years.

Then, when they stepped out of the cave heaven portal, the thousands of words in their hearts were blocked by the scene before them.

Ten thousand ships filled the sky!

There were also steel fortresses, which were small planets covered in metal, like people wearing iron armor. There were many cultivators and many mortals active inside.

In the starry sky outside Beidou, there were hundreds of such fortresses, filling the entire sky.

Warships several miles long surrounded them, and they appeared on a warship below, able to see these behemoths by looking up.
