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

Chapter 170 The Demonic Eye in the Stone: Extra Caution

After wandering around the mining area, Wang Teng had a general understanding of the situation there.

There's nothing special about it; it's similar to the mining areas of those holy lands and aristocratic families. Cultivators supervise the work, while ordinary people or those with low cultivation levels go down into the mines to dig for ore and then bring them up.

If there's anything special about this place, it's that the environment here is worse than the mining areas of those sacred families.

Wang Teng had also seen the mining area controlled by the Azure Dragon King. That mining area was located slightly south of the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness. Although the environment was similar to that of the northern region, digging into it would still reveal barren land.

In the mining area controlled by the Wang family, many places are just solid ice when you dig down!

Some ice is so hard that even if an ordinary person takes a chisel and hits it hard, they can only get a string of sparks out!

Sparks appearing on the ice surface is very unscientific, but also very fantastical!

At such times, cultivators from the Wang family would step in and use their cultivation techniques to melt the ice, allowing the mining activities to proceed more smoothly.

Wang Teng also examined the solid ice and found that it was just ordinary solid ice that had been formed a long time ago.

Perhaps the things in that mine are also related to the unique climate and environment here...

The next day, Wang Teng arrived at the warehouse in the mining area.

The stones here are piled up like mountains.

Since Wang Teng has come all this way, he certainly can't just be going through the motions.

He had already made a move once in the demon realm's small world, so how could he possibly hide away and stop making a move after returning home?
Amidst the astonished gazes of the powerful patriarch of the Wang family and the supreme elder of the mining area, Wang Teng activated his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and spent several days selecting piles of stones from the warehouse.

“You can cut these without worry, they’re all of different origins, and that pile is divine origin,” Wang Teng said, pointing to several piles of stones on the ground.

At first, everyone was skeptical, but because of Wang Teng's status, no one dared to question him.

But as each piece of stone was cut open, their doubts vanished instantly.

Instead, there was a profound sense of shock!
Wang Teng's judgment was absolutely correct.

If it's called a heterogeneous source, then it's a heterogeneous source! If it's called a divine source, then it's a divine source!
The Supreme Elder of the mining area stared longingly at Wang Teng, wishing he could keep Wang Teng there to appraise stones every day.

But he knew it was impossible.

Wang Teng is the young master of the Wang family. I heard that he has already made a name for himself in the Eastern Wilderness, and is no less famous than the Holy Sons of the Eastern Wilderness!
How could such a prodigy possibly condescend to work in a mining area that is only a few tens of thousands of square miles in size?

Let alone Wang Teng!
Even the powerful ancestor of the Wang family, and the head of the Wang family!

Neither of them will agree!

With such a special identity, who would be willing to let Wang Teng stay here?
In the end, Wang Teng kept only five stones and did not allow the people in the mining area to cut them.

The powerful ancestor of the Wang family was also very curious about what these five stones were.

Wang Teng didn't hide anything and cut stones in private.

Of the five stones, three are life-extending items, but none of them are intact, and their medicinal effects have been somewhat lost.

However, Wang Teng had no regrets about it.

How easy is it to stumble upon a treasure?

The three life-extending items were given to the powerful patriarch of the Wang family, who did not refuse. At this point, he was quite clear-headed, knowing that Wang Teng would have no use for these things, even though they were indeed very important to him. As for the other two items, they terrified even the powerful patriarch of the Wang family!
From the fourth stone, Wang Teng cut out a small piece of divine source, about the size of a palm.

Logically speaking, although divine sources are very rare, a divine source of this size should not attract the attention of a powerful ancestor. However, the contents of the divine source made the powerful ancestor shudder.

That's an eye!
A bloodstained eye!
The broken arrow pierced the eye, then somehow it was cut off, leaving only a small piece stuck in the eye, which was about half the size of a palm, with congealed golden blood!
The eye was completely dead, but the moment he saw it, the powerful ancestor couldn't help but stand up and subconsciously activated his own aura!
Because that eye was staring straight at him.

Even though countless years have passed and the owner of the eye has perished, the spirit in this eye has almost completely dissipated.

However, upon seeing this one eye, the powerful ancestor still felt pressure.

It seemed as if a ferocious beast from ancient times had suddenly appeared, its last remaining eye coldly staring at him...

This sense of oppression is no less than the aura of a legendary holy weapon!

“An ancient sage…” the powerful ancestor of the Wang family began, his voice filled with solemnity.

“It’s the eye of an ancient saint who has been dead for many years,” Wang Teng corrected.

He immediately asked the deity of the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon to check the condition of the eye. He only breathed a sigh of relief after hearing from the deity that the owner of the eye had already perished.

“Such a thing appeared in the source…” The powerful ancestor of the Wang family stared blankly.

It was Wang Teng who discovered this stone material in advance.

Otherwise, allowing the experienced miners to rashly open the stones might lead to disaster, just like it did hundreds of years ago!

Although Wang Teng said that the owner of this eye had already perished, the oppressive aura still made the powerful ancestor of the Wang family feel a chill run down his spine.

If the source covering the eyes is truly broken and its aura is revealed, the surrounding area of ​​a hundred miles may very well be completely turned into a desolate wasteland, with no one surviving!

"It's a blessing in disguise, not a curse," Wang Teng said casually.

He carved a series of complex and intricate characters on the source, carving nine characters each time before stopping and carving nine more.

Yes, every single one is Diwen!
The first group is the imperial script of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, the second group is the imperial script of the Ruthless Great Emperor, the third group is the imperial script of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, and the fourth group is...

Even the deities of the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon couldn't help but gasp at this sight. "That's enough. It's just an eye that only retains its killing intent. There's no need to inscribe so many imperial runes on it. Even if this thing were to revive in its true form, seeing so many imperial runes would probably scare it into kneeling down."

"Better safe than sorry!" Wang Teng said seriously.

He only stopped when the imperial inscriptions he had carved were almost enough to form a large array.

As the inheritor of the ancient forbidden land, he has no shortage of various inheritances!
Those imperial inscriptions were all capable of suppressing instantaneous eternity. After they were engraved, the divine source became much more "peaceful," and the powerful ancestor of the Wang family also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, I can carry this with me. If anyone tries to harm me, I can just throw it away," Wang Teng said, playing with the divine source in his hand.

With so many imperial inscriptions engraved on the divine source, plus that eye brimming with killing intent, if it were really thrown out and exploded in an instant, even a king would have to kneel down and beg Wang Teng to save him.

"You went through so many steps just to keep this little eye stable?" asked the Chaotic Ancient Emperor God.

"It's about stabilizing the situation! I wouldn't feel at ease holding onto it if it weren't stable!" Wang Teng said confidently.

Then, he looked at the last stone.

This is also the largest rock, as tall as two people!
