Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 12 Opening the Divine Bridge, Twelve Fair Paths

On the first day, Wang Teng was fairly satisfied with the outcome of the handling of these people, but he still gave some guidance as appropriate.

For example, those who rob others of their treasures by taking advantage of their high cultivation level and powerful background shall be punished by having to compensate for the stolen items or treasures of equivalent value, and additional compensation shall be given to the victims depending on the severity of the circumstances.

Or, for those who are domineering and bully men and women, we should directly kill them and destroy their spirit, making them apologize in person in the court of justice and compensate others for their losses.

Unless the circumstances are particularly egregious, Wang Teng's punishments are not usually too severe.

As for those who go too far, like Wang Fei yesterday, Wang Teng will not be polite and will deal with them as appropriate, regardless of who is standing behind them!

After the first day of the trial, these probationary staff members of the Justice Hall probably learned a thing or two.

In the following days, they made rapid progress, and some of them even impressed Wang Teng, who remarked that they handled things very well and thought things through thoroughly and meticulously.

A month later, it was time for Wang Teng to announce the list of members of the Gongdaotang (Court of Justice).

Looking at the twenty-three people in front of him, Wang Teng really wanted to keep all the cattle and horses to work for him, but he had said from the beginning that he only wanted twelve, so he couldn't go back on his word now.

He finalized the list, and those who were selected breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, while those who were not selected couldn't help but hang their heads in dejection.

"Of course! Don't be discouraged, everyone. Those who weren't selected for the twelve can stay. When the Wang family establishes its internal law enforcement hall in the future, you will still be the backbone!" Wang Teng continued.

He didn't want to release the cattle and horses that had already been initially trained.

Behind each of these people are one or two clan elders and senior members, who have also done a lot of things in secret. Therefore, the Gongdao Hall has been doing very well in the past month.

Upon hearing Wang Teng's promise, the expressions of the other dozen or so people relaxed considerably.

This promise is equally good; the mainstay of the Enforcement Hall, just by hearing the name, his status is higher than that of ordinary elders.

For the next period of time, Wang Teng confidently became a hands-off manager, showing up at the Gongdao Hall every day and then secretly cultivating. He left everything else to the twelve people, with the other eleven assisting him, and the twenty assassins and the elders behind those young people responsible for arresting people from the Wang family...

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Wang Teng's daily appearances here served primarily to increase his visibility and to oversee matters. He would also offer his opinions on issues that others found difficult to resolve.

Another half month passed. One afternoon, Wang Teng stood up and bowed deeply to his back.

"This junior is about to open the divine bridge, and I humbly request the ancestor to protect me on my path," Wang Teng said.

"Yes." An old voice came, but the person could not be seen.

Wang Teng felt much more at ease and went into seclusion in the Gongdao Hall.

Although this place is not on the main Wang family property, it is still within the Wang family's territory, so its safety is somewhat guaranteed.

A formation descended, shielding Wang Teng from external interference.

Wang Teng introspected and prepared to build the Divine Bridge.

His sea of ​​suffering expanded once again, becoming two or three times larger than before. The life spring, which had previously only been scattered, now expanded many times over, like a well, gushing forth the essence of life, transforming into rosy light that illuminated the dark and desolate sea of ​​suffering. The essence of life at the edge of the life spring spread out within the sea of ​​suffering, clearly distinct from the boundless deathly aura surrounding it.

This is the symbol of the peak of the Life Spring Realm, with divine power surging like a tide and rosy clouds filling the sky!

This is also why Wang Teng was able to drive the golden ancient chariot.

Originally, Wang Teng was wondering if he might suddenly possess a special physique like a time-space divine body or a two-world holy body due to his transmigration—of course, there was no such physique in the original novel of Shrouding the Heavens; this was just something Wang Teng thought about himself.

Unfortunately, Wang Teng didn't sense anything special.

He immersed his consciousness in the sea of ​​wheels, sketching out his own divine bridge.

In the original novel, when Ye Fan broke through to the Divine Bridge Realm, his Sea of ​​Bitterness was only the size of a fist. In comparison, Wang Teng's conditions were far beyond that; his Life Spring was much larger than that.

The only difference is that Wang Teng's sea of ​​suffering is not golden.

"When I reach the pinnacle one day, I too can possess all the physical attributes of a human, just like the Ruthless Great Emperor!"

Wang Teng was not discouraged, and he began to break through to the Divine Bridge Realm.

For a whole month, Wang Teng's body underwent changes.

At first, all they heard was the sound of waves crashing, as if a raging torrent was sweeping across the coast and trying to sweep away the clouds from the sky.

As time passed, everyone could clearly see that Wang Teng's body was reflecting the glow of the sunset, and vitality flowed within him, even overflowing from his body.

Those cultivators who were nearby could feel the vibrant life force, as if they were facing a primeval forest, where the vigorous life force awakened the entire forest in the spring!
The Confucian Temple is paved with stone slabs, and the gaps are so small that they are almost invisible. Yet, some unknown wild grasses still push their heads out and sway gently in the midst of life.

The young cultivators in the Hall of Justice and the elders and clan elders working in secret were all shocked. They had never seen anyone at this level with such vigorous vitality!

More than a month later, the glow on Wang Teng's body finally dissipated. He looked inward and saw that his sea of ​​suffering had grown much larger, comparable to a small pool. His life spring also gushed out more vitality. Under the glow, the black sea of ​​suffering shone brightly, radiating a glow.

Above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, a divine bridge, like a rainbow, spans the sky, dazzlingly beautiful.

Wang Teng has finally broken through to the Divine Bridge Realm!
Moreover, the life force within him is vigorous, and his divine power surges forth endlessly, making his true combat strength far exceed this realm!
Wang Teng opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them before quickly disappearing.

Compared to before, his posture is more upright and more heroic.

He can return to simplicity and make himself look like a precocious teenager.

However, he is now in the Hall of Justice, where so many people are waiting for him and a group of young people to uphold justice. Therefore, Wang Teng continues to maintain his status as a prodigy.

That evening, after returning to the Wang family home, Wang Chengkun immediately rushed over.

"You've successfully broken through? You're already a cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm?" Wang Chengkun exclaimed excitedly.

It has only been a short time since Wang Teng truly embarked on the path of cultivation, and it is already quite remarkable that he has been able to break through to this realm. Moreover, Wang Teng's foundation is extremely solid. Even if he were to push forward one or two minor realms, it is uncertain whether the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Spring of Life would be as solid as Wang Teng's!

“Yes, the breakthrough is successful. Next, it’s time to continue refining your weapon,” Wang Teng said.

“Weapons… The Wang family has some rough drafts, passed down from our ancestors. They have the potential to become peerless holy weapons. How about I find some for you to refine?” Wang Chengkun said.

Those items were the Wang family's most prized possessions, things that even a powerful ancestor might not be able to obtain.

However, if Wang Teng wants it, Wang Chengkun can try to get it, since Wang Teng's talent and fortuitous encounters are obvious to all.

"No need, I already have a goal," Wang Teng said confidently.
