I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

In an instant, flowers bloomed, filling the mountains and fields with vibrant colors. As the spring breeze caressed them, each flower and blade of grass seemed to awaken with sentience. Their essence condensed into human-like forms, appearing atop the blossoms. Petals and leaves danced in the wind, weaving themselves into garments, adorning these spirits of flora as they sang songs of blessing in unison.

At that moment, every cultivator on the Purple Star forgot the bloodshed and hatred, the worldly concerns and troubles, as they wandered through the sea of flowers, quietly savoring the beauty.

The songs of the flower and grass spirits echoed in their ears, and they, too, began to sing along, offering blessings from the purest of hearts.

Luo Mo manipulated his divine power, the light of wisdom illuminating the entire planet. The realm of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss enveloped all, forcefully dispelling the darkness within everyone's hearts, leaving not a trace of impure thoughts.

For he needed pure hearts.

The songs of blessing converged into a golden torrent, akin to the power of wishes. This was the power of blessing, a form of spiritual thought from all living beings, yet different from the way the power of wishes was gathered.

Three thousand Great Daos, the Great Art of Blessing!

This was one of the Three Thousand Great Daos that the God race in the Eternal Life world excelled in, capable of gathering the power of blessing. And the power of blessing had even more wonderful uses than the power of wishes.

Luo Mo used the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Divine Power to enlighten the flowers and grasses he had planted, granting them sentience and awakening their wisdom. At this moment, he forcefully gathered the power of blessing from all the sentient beings on the Purple Star to perform a refining technique.

The Azure Emperor Wood Emperor spiritual body toured the entire Purple Star, the Heavenly Palace moving along with it. The vegetation on the ground grew in its wake, flowers blooming in sequence. The flower seeds Luo Mo had given to the various continents of the Purple Star were all different, so as they toured the sky, the ground resembled a magnificent scroll slowly unfurling.

Gu Manlu watched in a daze.

Compared to a palace that benefited cultivation, such a performance was indeed, as Luo Mo said, somewhat 'flashy and impractical,' but—

"So beautiful…"

The Heavenly Palace's tour of the Purple Star didn't take much effort. This performance, using the earth as a canvas, was like a fleeting bloom, very brief, but it was enough, for it would be forever etched in their hearts.

Luo Mo looked at her, tentatively reaching out to caress her cheek. "Yes, so beautiful."

A blush crept onto Gu Manlu's face. At this moment, Luo Mo felt he had gained a new understanding.

Of course, not in cultivation, but about words, about the phrase 'beauty is a delicacy'. If it were before, he would have understood it as beautiful people making one eat two more bowls of rice.

Now, he felt that the meaning of 'beauty is a delicacy' should be that when a girl is adorable, you want to press your lips close to her.

He reached out his other hand, gathering the power of blessing that had converged from the entire Purple Star, as well as the power of blessing flowing out from his blessed cave, and concentrated it in his hand.

A speck of purple immortal light, so brilliant that it could dim the stars in the sky, surged from Luo Mo's fingertips, tinged with a hint of crimson, and merged into it.

Luo Mo asked knowingly, just to hear an answer with his own ears.

"Mm…" Gu Manlu nodded repeatedly, her mind a chaotic mess. Too many twists and turns, too much shock, too much beauty had happened today.

"Then when would you like to have the wedding?"

Luo Mo's question made Gu Manlu's mind even more confused, because there were obviously still many problems at this time. What about Wei Wei? What about Yao Xi? What about Yao Yao? And there's also Xia Jiuyou…

Although she also wished these people didn't exist, the fact was that they already existed, and were a part of Luo Mo's life. She could never erase them, and with her personality, she couldn't do anything forceful or unscrupulous.

All the grievances were melted by tenderness, defeated by surprise.

Afterward, she began to think about how to help Luo Mo solve these problems.

"Just think about yourself, explaining to them is what I should do," Luo Mo said gently. If he still needed Gu Manlu to help him with this kind of thing, then he felt he was being too scummy.

Although he wasn't a good person, he wouldn't continue to be so outrageous.

"Is it really okay? Although Wei Wei has known for a long time, what about Yao Xi? And Xia Jiuyou, isn't her master very powerful? You also said you want to start a war with the Underworld, that's a forbidden zone, what if there's some animosity with Senior Gai Jiuyou…"

She stroked the bracelet on her wrist, her thoughts racing like lightning, conveying her worries before she could even finish speaking, and was pulled into a wide, warm embrace. The bracelet also reflected a strong belief and gentle love.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. At this time, you just need to think about yourself."

When it's time to be selfish, you should be more selfish, and don't need to think so much at this time.

"Then let's wait until we officially move in, as soon as possible…" Her voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

Luo Mo was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "How soon is 'as soon as possible'? Would you like to tour the inside of the palace? I refined a Star Emperor Dragon Bed, it's big and comfortable!"

This was not a lie. The Star Emperor Dragon Bed was prepared by Luo Mo during the month he was refining the palace. It was made from high-quality star cores and fused with various divine materials.

It was no exaggeration to say that the Star Emperor Dragon Bed was more advanced than the entire palace.

Gu Manlu's face flushed red, because no matter how much of a saintess she was, untouched by the mundane world, she knew what these words meant.

She lowered her head and said, "Is this how you deceive other girls?"

Do I even need to deceive?

Wouldn't there be a lot of people lining up with just a wave of my hand?

"Then what if I invite you to study Daoist and Buddhist techniques?"

"Daoist and Buddhist techniques?" Gu Manlu was indeed fooled.

"That's right, I've collected a lot of Daoist and Buddhist techniques, but unfortunately I haven't tried them yet, and I don't know how effective they are."

Gu Manlu was puzzled, "The effect of spells, with your cultivation, you can see it at a glance, right?"

"But some things, just having rich theoretical experience is not enough, you also need practice. Although I have read the memories of many cultivators and studied many techniques, this kind of thing, knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial, and one must personally experience it to truly understand."

Seeing Luo Mo smiling mischievously, Gu Manlu felt something was wrong.

She seemed to understand something.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing later," she wanted to escape.

But Luo Mo projected spells all around, blocking her way. Some were accompanied by diagrams, with both Daoist and Buddhist methods, and even those of the ancient races. The routines were varied, the postures were strange, and some could even be said to be indecent.

"This one, I got it from the Buddhist sect. It has been silent for thousands of years without anyone inheriting it. It is time to revive it."

Luo Mo said, pointing to a Buddhist secret technique.

This secret technique was what he saw when he went to Mount Sumeru in the Western Desert. At that time, this inheritance was almost extinct, and no one had practiced it for many years.

Other temples only had one bell, but this temple had two.

At that time, Luo Mo curiously asked, and Bodhisattva Jue Youqing replied that this was the inheritance of the Joyous Union Temple of Buddhism, so it was unique. So, how could such a good inheritance be allowed to be buried in history?

"Moreover, we're already here…"

You don't think you can run, do you?

A spatial rift opened, causing the two to fall directly into the depths of the palace, landing on a large bed with a soft glow. A star core was embedded in the headboard, overflowing with dragon energy.

Star Emperor Dragon Bed!

… …

On Ziwei Star, all intelligent beings slowly recovered from the ethereal state they were in before.

Just now, it seemed like something incredible had happened, but they were merely puppets, singing a song along with it.

Although there was no loss and they even absorbed a lot of pure energy, and the distracting thoughts in their hearts were purified, their Sendai was like a bright mirror, having been wiped clean.

But it still felt strange.

“Senior must have returned just now,” Yin Tiande reacted, because on the newly built Taiyin Divine Sect, all the flowers and plants seemed to have instantly passed through decades or even centuries, growing rapidly.

Having such divine power, it should be Senior without a doubt. No one else can do such a thing.

“Brother, do you feel a little suppressed?”

Yin Tianzhi suddenly said.

Yin Tiande frowned, “Indeed, there is an indescribable sense of oppression.”

He looked up at the sky, where a floating continent was passing over their heads, blocking the sky.

Yin Tiande became more and more irritable, because the feeling of oppression became stronger and stronger.

“Not good!”

He exclaimed, because he suddenly felt that this feeling was somewhat familiar, and then after careful recollection, wasn't this the feeling of a heavenly tribulation?

“Who is undergoing tribulation!”

He shouted loudly, the sound waves spreading out, but all the newly recruited elders and disciples of the entire Taiyin Divine Sect looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Moreover, there was only a huge purple cloud in the sky, no heavenly tribulation?

There wasn't even half a bolt of lightning, so where did the heavenly tribulation come from?

“Brother, are you seeing things?” Yin Tianzhi also said, because he didn't see any signs of heavenly tribulation, and instead suspected that Yin Tiande was mistaken.

“Am I seeing things?”

Yin Tiande was also a little doubtful at this time, because heavenly tribulations never arrive late, and never play tricks on you. When you break through a realm, it will come whenever you call it, immediately striking you.

The laws of the Great Dao will gather thunderclouds, a fact that even ancient emperors cannot avoid.

But now, Yin Tiande only felt the aura of heavenly tribulation, but didn't see where the heavenly tribulation was, which was very puzzling.

He carefully distinguished it, but found that the aura of heavenly tribulation was very high and far away, somewhat ethereal, but also seemed to be everywhere.

“Could it be that I really felt wrong? No, the aura of heavenly tribulation has been there, has not dissipated, and is getting heavier and heavier.”

Yin Tiande was still somewhat uncertain, believing that his perception was not wrong, but he just couldn't see where the heavenly tribulation was.

Just at this moment, the purple clouds in the sky spread, gradually covering the sky, just like a month ago.

“Sect Leader, look, it's purple clouds, it should be Senior Saint performing magic.” A newly joined elder of the Sendai realm looked at the spreading purple clouds in the sky, stroking his beard and smiling.

“It seems that this should be the case.” Yin Tiande also didn't doubt it.

“Senior's achievements are so great, his aura is so powerful that it even makes me suspect that a heavenly tribulation has arrived, giving me a feeling of being on par with the heavens.”

He couldn't help but sigh.

The other elders and disciples of the Taiyin Divine Sect also sighed, “Yes, Senior's cultivation is too strong, the entire ancient star is like a plaything in his hands.”

“Everyone continue working, strive to repair the mountain gate of the Divine Sect as soon as possible.” Yin Tianzhi said to the crowd. They were still rearranging the mountain gate of the Taiyin Divine Sect, setting a small goal, at least to make it better than those thieves who stole the sect before.

Then he whispered to Yin Tiande, “Brother, do you think that with the reappearance of these purple clouds, will the Nine Secrets Dao Sword still be useful?”

The Nine Secrets Dao Sword can cause the purple clouds in the sky to descend with purple flowers.

“Don't have these petty thoughts. The resources Senior gave us are already enough to rebuild the Divine Sect and cultivate. Although those purple flowers are precious, remember not to lose big because of small gains!”

Yin Tiande instructed, “What we have to do now is to cultivate well. When the cultivators of Beidou come in the future, our two brothers will strive to be the best and stand out. We must also exchange for all the Nine Secrets!”

“I understand, brother.”

… …

Ziwei Star was once again covered by purple clouds.

Having had the previous experience, they were used to it this time.

Many people even speculated whether it was because they had previously made the flowers and plants in various places grow rapidly, and now they were going to descend purple energy to supplement the nutrition of the flowers and plants.

This was also very possible. First, use secret techniques to stimulate life activity, and then supplement a little purple energy, such high-level energy.

But things were not like this. The Wood Emperor Gang Qi blown out by Qingdi's Wood Emperor Dao Body already contained enough energy for these flowers and plants to grow. The reason why the purple clouds reappeared on Ziwei Star, protecting the entire planet, was because the entire planet was encountering a huge calamity.

In the starry sky, the heavenly tribulation was one step slower than the purple clouds in expanding itself. It kept expanding and constantly sensing the emergence of new creatures within its range, so it expanded sharply in the starry sky.

Soon, all the creatures on Ziwei Star were within the coverage of the heavenly tribulation.

Tribulation lightning rolled in the black clouds, and the figure on the Star Emperor Dragon Bed in the palace was the same. No matter the Daoist or Buddhist methods, they were ultimately just a pretext. In the end, it still depended on the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The Three Thousand Great Daos encompassed everything, even including dual cultivation methods, and there was more than one.

On the Star Emperor Dragon Bed, the two were immersed in joy. As the weaker party in cultivation, Gu Manlu's cultivation was rapidly improving during dual cultivation. The two's energies intertwined and fed back, allowing her body to cross the threshold of the Saint realm in an instant. Every drop of blood was injected with the power to move mountains and level seas.

This violent improvement naturally attracted the attention of the heavenly tribulation.

It came, as always, never absent or late, and because it was a great tribulation, continuously improving, so it covered a wide area, so even the creatures of Ziwei Star under the Heavenly Palace were covered in it, directly locked by the heavenly tribulation as targets.

If such a great tribulation really descended, the entire planet would turn into a dead land.

“Huff—”

Luo Mo, who was diligently cultivating and studying Dao techniques, got up from Gu Manlu's body. He had grown a lot.

But having tasted the great joy of life for the first time, how could he stop after just one try? Learning is endless.

So he licked his lips and asked, “Want to play something more exciting?”

In the warm yellow starlight mist, Gu Manlu, who had already tasted the flavors, was full of immortal energy in every strand of her hair. The Three Thousand Great Daos were vast and profound. She was only passively cultivating, but she improved to the Saint realm, crossing many cultivation barriers. No barrier could hinder her by half a step, directly and violently blasted open.

The so-called ascension was probably like this.

She no longer hesitated, nodded, and responded softly with an “Mmm,” determined to learn more knowledge.

Space shattered, and Luo Mo stretched out a hand to tear space, breaking into the tribulation clouds.

In the next moment, boundless thunder gathered towards Luo Mo's palm, turning into a ball of dancing thunder fire and being taken back by him.

The phrase 'heavenly thunder and earthly fire' is often used to describe intensity, and this kind of gameplay does exist, recorded in some special books. Luo Mo wouldn't have known this knowledge if he hadn't ransacked the homes of many ancient clans.

Heavenly Tribulation: ?

Where's my thunder?

The black clouds vibrated violently, thunder rolling, regenerating again, as if angry, like the roar of billions of gods.

“Shut up!”

A big slap came over, with the Great Disaster Technique and the Great Karma Technique attached, controlling disaster and reversing karma.

The tribulation clouds were immediately slapped away to a nearby dead starry sky, switching targets and starting to frantically output towards a star.
