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

Chapter 221 The White-Clad God King in the Stone Wall
The person in the stone wall looked thin and frail, like a skeleton.

Wang Teng once saw the remains of a sacred body in the treasure vault of the Azure Dragon King. At that time, that sacred body had been dead for a long time, and its vital energy had been depleted. However, even so, that body did not look nearly as tragic as the one before him.

Because the person in the stone wall was in really bad condition. His life force seemed to have completely dried up, and he looked like a dried-up corpse, alone and helplessly embedded in the stone wall.

“There’s someone trapped inside the rock wall up ahead,” Wang Teng said.

Hearing his words, everyone was stunned for a moment, with Ye Fan reacting the most.

"Brother Wang, do you have a way to rescue that person?" Ye Fan asked.

"What, do you know the people inside?" Black Emperor couldn't help but ask.

The last time he followed Ye Fan, he saw Ye Fan stay here for a long time. However, at that time, the Black Emperor did not know that someone was trapped here, because he was not always paying attention to all the situations inside Purple Mountain.

Hearing Wang Teng's words and Ye Fan's reaction, he finally realized that someone might be trapped inside.

Moreover, this person definitely knows Ye Fan; they must have had a lot of conversation last time.

"He's like a senior to me. When I passed through here last time, he taught me some magic. I promised him that if I had the chance, I would definitely rescue him," Ye Fan said, not hiding anything about it.

He was still waiting for Wang Teng to speak up; whether or not he could rescue this person in this operation depended on whether Wang Teng was willing to help.

"With my current abilities, it's too much of a stretch to save him, and I can't break through the stone wall either. But if I activate the Emperor Weapon, I can indeed rescue him," Wang Teng said after thinking for a moment.

It wasn't that he intentionally delayed the process to wait for the original work; it was simply the case.

He is currently only at the peak of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and it is still too difficult for him to break through the stone wall in Purple Mountain. Even if he reaches the peak of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, it will still be difficult.

After all, this is the Daoist temple of the Great Emperor Wushi, and it was once chosen by the Undying Emperor. The fact that it was chosen as a Daoist temple by two Great Emperors is enough to show that this place is special. Moreover, the two Great Emperors have also laid out their methods here.

If the terrain here were truly so easy to overcome, then in the original story, the Holy Lord of the Jiang family wouldn't have personally brought his imperial weapon and his helpers to the scene.

Although Wang Teng is very strong and can suppress others across a major realm, it does not mean that he can now contend with a supreme power like the Holy Lord.

If we really want to rescue the White-Clad God King, we will definitely need to use the Supreme Emperor Weapon.

"No, no, no!" Blackie and Yellow quickly tried to stop him.

"Why?" Ye Fan asked.

"What do you know? This place was once the training ground of ancient emperors and great emperors, where all sorts of terrain and methods were laid out. If it is stimulated by the supreme imperial weapon, no one knows what will happen. If a battle across time and space between ancient emperors and great emperors takes place, none of us will be able to escape!" The Black Emperor said in a serious tone.

Upon hearing his words, Ye Fan and the others also became serious.

"Actually, it's not that you can't use the Supreme Emperor Weapon, but your current cultivation levels are too low, and your margin for error is too small. A single mistake could easily lead to bloodshed. If you truly want to save him, it's best to wait until your cultivation levels are high enough, until you have strength comparable to a Great Power. While there will still be risks, it will be much safer than it is now," the Black Emperor said seriously. Ye Fan, though somewhat unwilling, nodded. He knew that while the Black Emperor might be unreliable, he would never lie to them about something like this.

“Indeed, that’s what I think too. I just talked to Senior Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon about this matter, and he also felt that if we really want to rescue that person immediately, we all need to leave Purple Mountain and Senior Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon can take action alone. Only in this way is it safest.”

Wang Teng spoke first.

This wasn't him shirking responsibility; it was exactly what the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon had told him.

"The terrain here is somewhat complex. If I were to actually make a move, it might really happen as that big black dog said, with a battle that transcends eras between an ancient emperor and a great emperor. Although it's not the great emperor himself making a move, there are methods they've laid out here. In addition, with me, an extreme imperial weapon, personally making a move, the resulting shockwaves would be enormous. Even a powerful being could perish without the protection of a legendary holy weapon or an extreme imperial weapon."

The ancient emperor's soldiers and deities transmitted their voices very seriously.

"However, if you can get someone from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to help, even if it's not that person personally, just summoning a Great Perfection Saint Body, we can still rescue that little guy from the stone wall," the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon God transmitted.

Wang Teng ignored the suggestion from the ancient imperial gods.

Because his current identity is not that of a descendant of the Forbidden Land of the Desolate Ancient Land.

Lu Hao, who is far away at the Tai Xuan Sect, is the true successor of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

He is currently only the successor of the Supreme Hall, and this identity has not yet been exposed. Only a few powerful figures, such as the Azure Dragon King, know about it.

Most importantly, there is some overlap between the Supreme Hall and the Desolate Forbidden Land. Although others may not know that the Supreme Hall refers to the Desolate Forbidden Land, Wang Teng still needs to be careful to avoid having people from the Desolate Forbidden Land appear on both sides at the same time.

For example, since that Great Accomplished Holy Body has already appeared as the chief steward of the Supreme Hall, it is not appropriate for him to appear as the protector of the successor of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Fortunately, there are many powerful individuals in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Even without a Great Perfection Saint Body, there is still a Peak Great Saint. Moreover, the Great Perfection Saint Body is located in the deepest part of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, so no one else will discover his identity.

"In that case... let's wait until next time." Ye Fan sighed softly.

"Don't worry too much. Although the senior inside is in very poor condition and is close to dying, he is currently in a self-sealed slumber. If this continues, he can hold on for at least another ten years."

Wang Teng said, "More than ten years is enough time for me to become a great power."

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the others couldn't help but glance at him. Wang Teng's words were always domineering and full of confidence, yet they couldn't refute them.

In terms of strength, Wang Teng is already the strongest among the younger generation, and he is undoubtedly a strongman even among the older generation.

"I understand. Let's continue deeper then." Ye Fan sighed softly and glanced at the stone wall once more.
