The Lord of All Gods Who Covers the Sky

Chapter 7 Swallowing the Sky
  My name is Liu Neng. My parents are both handymen at Yaoguang Holy Land. I also want to become an official disciple of Yaoguang, so I have been practicing very hard. However, my qualifications are low and my practice is often half the result with half the effort, so I am often laughed at by others. .

Everyone said that I was destined to be a handyman, because my father was a handyman, my grandfather was a handyman, my great-grandfather and great-grandfather were both handymen...

But I'm not willing to do it. I don't want to be a handyman all my life!

I never cared about other people's ridicule, I just worked harder to practice. My parents also silently supported and cared for me. Although the family lived in poverty, they were still happy.

One day I came home very late from practicing, but my parents didn't come back. I was worried all night.

The bodies of my parents were brought back the next day. The steward who came with them said that my parents collided with a slave of a core disciple and were beaten to death by the slave.

I was heartbroken after losing my parents. I originally planned to bury my parents properly, but the steward said that my parents had offended a nobleman and the whole family would be punished, so he fined me fifty lashes.

When the first whip hit my body, I felt only burning pain; by the tenth blow, my skin was torn apart, my whole body curled up, and I clenched my fists and couldn't stop shaking.

I silently counted the number of lashes in my mind, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...twenty-two, twenty-three...

Slowly, I lost count of how many times I was whipped. My mind was empty and my body seemed to be no longer in pain...

Now I can no longer remember which lash I was knocked out by, maybe it was the 31st lash, maybe it was the 41st lash...

When I woke up, I was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave, next to the bodies of my parents.

I still remember that there was a lot of dew that day, the moon was very round, my wounds hurt, and I was very hungry, but I was seriously injured and couldn't move, so he ate the nearest food I could get...

I was lucky enough to survive, but where could I go after being seriously injured? After much thought, I returned to my parents' handyman cabin.

When I saw the manager again, the manager smiled and said that life is hard, but he didn't make it difficult for me.

My life was suddenly very confusing and I didn’t know what to do.

revenge? Report to whom. In charge? The slave of that core disciple? Or should we say core disciples?
  Practice? What are you practicing for? To become a steward? Become a slave to the core disciples? Or become a core disciple?

Without goals, I just practice mechanically.

Time passed, and one day the steward took five handymen, including me, to a secret place.

I saw the steward collect a bottle of Baicao Liquid and leave in a hurry, never to come back again. I knew that a few of us were sold, a bottle of Baicao Liquid, five people...

In this secret place we had no food, or rather we were each other's food, and in the end I survived.

I was blindfolded and taken to another place. The people here taught me a skill. I had never been exposed to such a profound skill before, so I practiced very hard. However, my qualifications were limited and I still practiced. very slow.

One day, people from the Secret Land brought me a corpse. I happened to recognize this person. He was a disciple who had just entered the Yaoguang Holy Land a few years ago. During the initiation ceremony, I stood in the corner and was very envious of this person. Unexpectedly, he was already a corpse now.

The people in the secret area ordered me to eat, but I didn't hesitate. Maybe it was because I no longer rejected it after the day of the mass graves, or I had never rejected it before...

After that, my practice speed became faster, and then I finally knew the name of the technique - the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique!
  I practiced very quickly after this, so I want to take revenge!
  I also succeeded in taking revenge, first as a steward, and then as a slave to the core disciples.

I also wanted to climb up the ladder, first becoming a steward, and then being accepted as a slave by the core disciples.

Ten years later, I took revenge on the core disciples and became a core disciple.

Now that my qualifications are extremely high and my cultivation speed is extremely fast, I was accepted as a disciple by an elder from Yaoguang. Only then did I discover that the elder was from that secret place.

I originally thought I could practice well in Shaking Light Holy Land, but I didn't expect that the first task my master gave me was to become a disciple of Tai Xuan Sect.

I completed the task brilliantly, and my status in Taixuan Sect became higher and higher until I became a powerful person and became an elder.

One day, my master suddenly took me to see a person. That person was among a bunch of divine sources. He just exuded a trace of aura and knocked our master and disciple to the ground, without even a trace of resistance.

"Saint!!!" This thought appeared in my mind.

The saint gave us masters and disciples a task to find people with outstanding qualifications to practice the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Kung Fu as a stepping stone to the Immortal Heaven Kung Fu. We masters and disciples dare not disobey.

I heard that the master chose a disciple from the ancient family, but unfortunately he was discovered by the great master of the ancient family, and the master was abandoned as an abandoned son.

I chose a child named Hua Yunfei. Although this child is the young grandson of the Lord of Star Peak, he is delicate and weak. His aptitude is the most outstanding in Taixuan Sect. I often think that it would be great if I had such a birth and aptitude. .

My plan was very successful. Hua Yunfei did not dare to resist under the coercion and inducement. More than ten years later, Hua Yunfei made some achievements in practicing the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Skill, but he never had good resources for him to improve quickly.

Until one day a disciple reported the discovery of the ghost body. I realized that the opportunity for Hua Yunfei to improve quickly had arrived, so I took Hua Yunfei there without stopping.

But I was attacked just as I was about to get the ghost body. I don't even know who attacked me. Maybe it was the arrangement of the ghost body before its death, maybe it was the powerful Ji family, maybe it was Hua Yunfei...

Fortunately, I didn't die, or didn't die completely. My remnant soul was attached to a piece of spiritual nourishing tree. Unfortunately, my remnant soul was too weak, and it was so weak that it would put mortals at great risk.

Later, this piece of spiritual nourishing wood was transformed by a casual cultivator into a string of bracelet-like magic weapons that can nourish the mind, nourish the soul, and refresh concentration. It can assist in cultivation and is also a rare treasure among low-level monks.

I hid in one of the orbs on the bracelet and witnessed the cruelty among casual cultivators. The owner of the bracelet changed several times. After going round and round, the bracelet finally fell into the hands of a descendant of the Ji family. He gave the bracelet to his son Ji Yan and encouraged him to practice well.

Ji Yan likes this bracelet very much. He wears it on his wrist all the time and refuses to take it off even when sleeping, because it is the first magic weapon he got.

I secretly absorbed Ji Yan's essence to slowly repair his soul, which caused his cultivation to be slow.

Later, Ji Yan's father died. I heard that the person who killed him was a monk from Xiantai. When the Ji family chased him, he had already fled Donghuang.

Later, Ji Yan's mother also died. She died by forcefully breaking through the realm. She wanted revenge so much!
  Ji Yan could only live alone in an empty room, counting the beads on his string over and over again...

"The great road is like the abyss, the origin of all things, and the light is the same as the dust..."

Ji Yan also began to practice hard. The ancient Void Scripture is infinitely mysterious and explains the true meaning of the great road. It is no worse than the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique I practice. However, Ji Yan's qualifications are insufficient, and part of his cultivation essence has been absorbed by me, so his practice is slow.

On this day, Ji Yan was seriously injured in a competition with his cousin. After returning to the room and sitting quietly for a while, he suddenly punched the table viciously and shed tears silently.

I know my chance is coming soon...

Sure enough, in the days that followed, Ji Yan's cultivation level became worse and worse than that of his peers. He had poor qualifications and no resources. His peers began to look down on him and were too lazy to compete with him. Ji Yan began to become more and more depressed.

I know it's time!

……

On this day, Ji Yan's attempt to break through the realm failed, and he lay on the bed dejectedly, with empty eyes without the sparkle that a young man should have.

"Boy, do you want to become stronger?"

"Who? Who is talking?" The sudden voice startled Ji Yan. He got up and looked around, shouting loudly.

A wisp of green smoke floated out from the bracelet on Ji Yan's wrist, and a translucent figure appeared in the room, making Ji Yan tremble.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Ji Yan forced himself to calm down and tried his best to keep his voice from trembling.

"Boy, I am neither a human nor a ghost, just a remnant soul."

After hearing this, Ji Yan was no longer afraid, but asked very warily: "I heard that the soul of the Xiantai monks condensed into essence, and they could leave their residual souls after death, and they could be reborn in the future. Could it be that you are a Xiantai monk who is planning to seize the soul?" Leave me?"

"Hey!" I sighed faintly, "My remnant soul is too weak to take over other people's bodies. During this period, I relied on absorbing your essence to barely recover, but I didn't regain the power to take over other people's bodies. Besides, You are a member of the Ji family, and now you are within the family. Even if I have the ability to seize your body, I would not dare to seize it from you now."

Ji Yan felt a little relieved, calmed down and then asked: "Since senior is a monk from Xiantai, how come he is in this bracelet?"

"I was plotted against me. Only the remnant soul of my soul could stay in this tree. This tree was made into a magic bracelet, and I have been living in one of the beads."

After a pause, I continued: "Later, this magic weapon was obtained by your father and given to you. It was originally intended to help you practice, but my residual soul was seriously injured, so I had to absorb your essence to repair the residual soul. Now I can condense it." This ray of soul speaks to you."

"So my slow cultivation is all caused by you sucking my essence. No wonder I'm getting weaker and weaker!" Ji Yan's eyes suddenly burst into flames.

Liu Neng's remnant soul was floating around, and he said slowly: "Boy, although I have absorbed a little bit of your essence, but you have to ask yourself, you have poor qualifications and no training resources. Even if I don't absorb your essence, how can you compare?" How much better are the people of your generation? Compared to the genius of your clan?"

Ji Yan couldn't help but lower his head in despair after hearing this.

Liu Neng floated in front of Ji Yan and said calmly: "But after all, I have received your favor, so I can give you a chance."

"what chance?"

"I have a technique that can make you stronger, even comparable to the geniuses of your clan. Do you want it?"

Ji Yan sneered and said disdainfully: "Although I am a branch of the Ji family, the cultivation method I practice is also the Void Ancient Scripture. Is there any cultivation method in this world that is stronger than the Great Emperor's Scripture?"

"The Great Emperor is the strongest person in every era. Since ancient times, the Great Emperor has not seen each other. Naturally, it is difficult to distinguish the strength of the Great Emperor, and it is also impossible to distinguish the high and low of the Emperor's scriptures." Liu Neng said leisurely: "But people are different. , the Emperor's Scripture and the Emperor's Scripture are naturally different. The Ji family's genius' bloodline is naturally more suitable for practicing the Void Ancient Scripture than you, but your bloodline is weak and your qualifications are low, so naturally my Ancient Scripture is more suitable."

Ji Yan's pupils shrank, then returned to normal, and laughed: "The Great Emperor's Scripture is so scarce in this world, not to mention whether the one you took out is the Emperor's Scripture, even if you have the Emperor's Scripture, how can you be sure that it is better than the Void Ancient Scripture?" Is it more suitable for me? Although I am a descendant of the collateral lineage, I have seen how powerful the geniuses who practice the Emperor's Scripture are. How can your ancient scriptures guarantee that I can stand up to the geniuses?"

"Wouldn't you know if it's true or not by trying it yourself! That's all! I won't argue with you, a little kid like you. I'll teach you the cultivation scriptures of the secret realm of the wheel first, which is worth the energy you have provided during this period. Qi, as for whether you want to practice or not, it’s all your own choice, okay?”

"The Emperor's Scripture is so precious, but I don't think a little energy can offset it. I don't know if you have any other conditions, so you might as well tell them together." Ji Yan thought for a while, but spoke cautiously.

I sighed and said, "With your current cultivation level, what can you give me? As long as you promise to help me repair my soul and rebuild my physical body when your cultivation level is high."

"Okay, deal." Ji Yan agreed after thinking for a while.

So Liu Neng taught Ji Yan the "Lun Hai Scroll" of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique. The whole text contains only a few thousand words, but it is full of atmosphere and points directly to the origin of the great road. It is also like a black hole, swallowing up everything in the world.
