Eastern Wilderness, Southern Region
In a secluded valley, the land lies wide and exposed. Rare flowers and ancient trees grow here, aromatic grasses sprout, and fallen petals blanket the earth.
A striking man sat cross-legged in the valley. His presence radiated a singular rhythm, as if he had fused with heaven and earth.
The man wore green and had an elegant face framed by snow-white hair. Though appearing in his early twenties, he exuded an extraordinary aura untouched by mortal concerns, resembling a celestial being who had stepped down from the heavens.
boom!
Beside that ancient tree, there were many divine herbs and exotic trees, all of which were trembling at this moment, their lush green leaves dripping with moisture, displaying endless vitality, like a magnificent, dazzling landscape painting.
If an ordinary cultivator were to see this, they would be utterly shocked. This is the most extraordinary phenomenon ever!
Suddenly, the handsome man opened his eyes. Two astonishing beams of light shot out from his pupils, like two bolts of lightning. The entire vast valley trembled. Birds, beasts, fish, and insects all bowed in worship, overcome with fear.
A moment later, his aura subsided. The divine light in his pupils faded. The enormous ancient tree behind him disappeared. The divine herbs and strange trees that had appeared vanished without a trace.
"I've actually become Nangong Zheng from the novel 'Covering the Sky'!"
The man spoke softly, his expression somewhat complicated, revealing a mix of disbelief and wonder. Upon his resurrection, he became Nangong Zheng, a peerless human powerhouse, and he felt both awe and uncertainty welling up inside him!
Just now, he confirmed that he had transmigrated into the world of Shrouding the Heavens and become Nangong Zheng, a top human powerhouse with the same name as himself.
His real name was also Nangong Zheng, but by a twist of fate, he became the famous "Great Immortal Nangong" in the novel "Covering the Sky"!
First came the Southern Palace. Then came Heaven. The second immortal dares to challenge the immortals of a lifetime!
This is a joke that many people make about Nangong Zheng!
Nangong Zheng makes an incredibly impressive entrance, exuding an aura of superiority. He appears at the peak of the second level of the Sendai realm and is hailed as a supreme being!
He cultivates the Longevity Technique, befriends plants and trees, and feeds on flowers. He possesses extraordinary abilities, can manifest the Jianmu tree, and has astonishing combat power. He fought against the powerful demon king, the Peacock King, right from his first appearance. Later, he even broke into the Bronze Immortal Palace and survived. He is also known as the second immortal and is said to be willing to fight for an immortal destiny for a lifetime. He has a lot of prestige!
Unfortunately, after the great changes in the world, older generation powerhouses like Nangong Zheng could no longer keep up with the younger generation and almost disappeared, eventually passing away peacefully in the long river of time.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and Nangong Zheng's mind went blank. Then, all sorts of memories came rushing in.
"So, I am Nangong Zheng. I transmigrated into this world and wasted more than 2,000 years. Now, I have awakened the mystery of my birth."
Nangong Zheng suddenly realized that he was originally Nangong Zheng, but he had awakened "the memories of his previous life!"
He pondered in silence, recalling what he had before transmigrating. Before transmigrating, he was an online author. Just as he was writing with great ambition, he suddenly fainted. When he woke up, he had arrived in the world of Shrouding the Heavens and become Nangong Zheng, a top human powerhouse.
He was silent for a moment, taking in the shock, then felt relieved, and even a little happy! A sense of acceptance settled in as he processed his new reality.
Originally, he was just an ordinary person, with the innate divine body of an ox or horse, destined to live no more than a hundred years and unable to cultivate throughout his life. Now, however, he is a supreme powerhouse of the immortal human race!
On the surface, he is the current pinnacle of BeiDou's combat capabilities.
"System!? Where's the cheat code!?"
Nangong Zheng began to examine his body. As a novelist, he had read countless online novels and knew that if someone had transmigrated, they were very likely a chosen one with a cheat code.
However, he soon realized with some regret that he didn't seem to have a system or a cheat code! Disappointment flickered in his eyes, momentarily dimming his excitement.
"Although there's no system or cheat code, this is still a pretty good start!" He quickly felt relieved as optimism replaced his brief disappointment.
This is a pretty good start. Starting as a second-level immortal is not as good as starting as a saint or an emperor. It's still not bad. I have some resources, and at least I don't have to struggle from the bottom.
He was quite surprised to discover that his physique was special as well. Although it was not a holy body, a hegemonic body, a divine body, or a chaotic body, it was naturally close to the Dao and naturally in harmony with nature.
For example, he could sense that the many plants and trees around him possessed an indescribable spirituality. It seemed as if they were not plants and trees, but living people.
Furthermore, his appearance was quite good. Although he couldn't compare to the top geniuses of the Big Dipper, he was still quite extraordinary. If it weren't for the limitations of heaven and earth, he might very well have become a saint.
Indeed, this is true. Although Nangong Zheng did not explicitly mention it in the original work, after the emergence of the Primordial Clan, along with the great changes in the world, the revival of the ancient clans, and the opening of the Golden Age, he should have successfully severed his Dao and become a saint.

Sea of Wheels, Palace of Dao, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, Sendai—Nangong Zheng is currently at the peak of the Sendai Second Realm!
Nangong Zheng could clearly sense that his strength was immense, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, and of reaching the heavens and the earth. This feeling was wonderful!
He became engrossed in studying the body, but his expression quickly froze as worry overtook him; he discovered a major problem: his lifespan seemed to be running out...Because he discovered that his life wheel was covered with dense markings totaling more than 2,000.
Just as trees have annual rings, people have the wheel of life. Each mark on a person's wheel of life represents one year of age. Nangong Zheng's wheel of life already has more than two thousand densely packed marks.
The powerful beings of Sendai II had lifespans of over 2,000 years. Nangong Zheng's lifespan was already over two thousand years. He estimated that he now only had about twenty years left to live.
Having finally arrived in the world of "Covering the Sky," he did not want to die a miserable death after only twenty years. An urgent fear gripped him—he wanted to roam freely throughout the world and live forever!
"I must first find a way to prolong my lifespan!" Nangong Zheng resolved, his deep eyes glinting as he began to plot a solution.
Nowadays, there are two ways to extend lifespan!
One way to improve one's realm is to enter the Immortal Realm of the Third Stage and Sever the Dao; the other is to take medicine to prolong one's life!
For him, the chances of advancing to the Dao-Slaying Realm in twenty years are slim, and the risks are high. It seems the only option is to give him some medicine first to increase his lifespan. Increasing his lifespan is the most important thing right now."I wonder how far the plot has progressed? I wonder if those treasures from the Northern Divine City are still there!" Nangong Zheng pondered silently.
He remembered that the Divine City had many good things, even a Qilin seed and a humanoid divine medicine of an Emperor! If it hadn't been cut off by someone else, it would have been his! Greed and longing stirred within him as he recalled these treasures.
These things are all unclaimed; why not take them? If Heaven gives them to us and we don't, we'll suffer the consequences!
Some might say, "If you take Ye Fan's opportunity, aren't you afraid that a giant hand will come down from the river of time and destroy you completely?"
Every time Nangong Zheng saw this kind of question, he wanted to laugh. Would the future really develop as in the original story? Besides, these things were ownerless to begin with, and there was no explicit rule that they belonged to Ye Fan!
Some might say that many of the treasures were left to Ye Fan by ruthless individuals to help him rise to power, but that's not the case!
Aside from the Dao-Merging Flower, which was left to Ye Fan by a ruthless person, almost nothing else was ever manipulated by such a ruthless person!
Because the ruthless woman didn't care about Ye Fan's cultivation at all; all she cared about was whether Ye Fan was her brother. Ye Fan's strength and cultivation opportunities were not within her consideration!
Even though Ye Fan is a novice in cultivation, a ruthless person has a way to make him reach the quasi-ninth level, and then feed him the Dao Integration Flower to force him to become an emperor!
He quickly came to his senses and began to ponder the present era.
Nangong was pondering silently, thinking about the timeline of Shrouding the Heavens. Soon, he smiled. He had not entered the memories of the Bronze Immortal Palace. It seemed that it was still the early stage of Shrouding the Heavens. The treasures of the Divine City were very likely still there.
It is still unknown whether Ye Fen and his group arrived in the Big Dipper Star Region riding the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin."Reporting to Senior Nangong, the Bronze Immortal Palace has been born!
" Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice came from outside the valley.
