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

Chapter 222 The Beginningless Sutra and the Innate Sacred Body and Dao Embryo
After passing the stone wall, they walked quite a distance deeper into the area.

There is a stone book lying across the way.

Upon seeing this, Ye Fan immediately became interested.

"Brother Wang, can you open this book?" Ye Fan asked.

Black Emperor glanced at it from the side, revealing a contemptuous smile, but did not speak.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Fan glared at Hei Huang.

"If even one of you can open this book, I'll eat shit while standing on my head!" Black Emperor said seriously.

"Oh ho, a new way to eat?" Duan De said from the side.

He had just been tricked out of three spirit weapons and was still angry, so when the Black Emperor spoke, he immediately retorted.

"If you curse again, believe me, I can scam you again!" Black Emperor looked at Duan De, guessing that this guy had even more good stuff on him.

Unfortunately, Wang Teng was here this time. He also had an ancient chaotic imperial weapon protecting him, which allowed him to see everything outside.

Black Emperor considered himself an extension of the Great Emperor Wushi and had a good relationship with him. Therefore, in front of another supreme imperial weapon, he had to maintain his image and not embarrass the Great Emperor. That's why he was somewhat restrained and did not ruthlessly trick Duan De as he had initially planned.

Otherwise, Duan De would have been swindled out of his very clothes along the way.

"I'm sticking with my brother Wang. I don't believe you can screw us both over!" Duan De grumbled.

Black King laughed, revealing his snow-white canine teeth.

"This book... the Beginningless Sutra... is it a scripture left behind by the Beginningless Emperor?" Wang Teng asked.

"It seems so. I saw this book when I went deep into Zishan last time. I tried to open it many times, but I couldn't." Ye Fan nodded.

“In that case, I’ll give it a try,” Wang Teng said.

Looking at the thick stone book on the ground, Wang Teng also became interested.

The most powerful beings in Shrouding the Heavens are the three Great Emperors, the famous Shrouding the Heavens Trio: Ye Fan, the Heavenly Emperor beside him; his grandmaster, the Ruthless Great Emperor who is now guarding the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land; and the Great Emperor Wushi, the creator of the Wushi Scripture in front of him.

To put it bluntly, from this moment on, Wang Teng already had a substantial relationship with the three members of the "Covering the Sky" group.

Wang Teng reached out and placed his hand on the cover of the stone book, using his own strength to try and turn the pages.

However, just as he had initially guessed, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the Book of No Beginning.

"This Book of Beginningless was prepared by the Great Emperor of Beginningless as a backup plan. Ordinary people simply cannot open it unless their physique is compatible with his," the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon deity transmitted.

To be honest, if Wang Teng hadn't read the original novel, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon God would definitely be a very useful cheat code right now, because it is knowledgeable enough and powerful enough to solve problems while answering them.

“This book cannot be opened. It is the legacy of the Great Emperor Wushi. Only those with the same physique as the Great Emperor Wushi can unlock its legacy,” Wang Teng said, shaking his head.

"How did you know?" The Black Emperor was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on. Wang Teng possessed an ultimate imperial weapon, which was equivalent to an ancient emperor answering Wang Teng's questions, so it was normal for him to know about this.

"Wait, how did you know?" Ye Fan and Duan De looked at Hei Huang. It was normal for Wang Teng to know about this, but it was not normal for Hei Huang to know about it.

"Hahahaha, I've only heard about it, just heard about it. This is supposed to be the inherited scripture of the Great Emperor Wushi. Aren't you tempted to give it a try?" The Black Emperor chuckled, trying to change the subject.

Although the way of changing the subject was abrupt, it was undeniably effective, because besides Wang Teng, who was already a descendant of an ancient emperor, there was also Duan De, who couldn't resist the allure of treasures.

Duan De immediately surrounded the stone scripture, and he and Wu Liang circled around it, occasionally placing their hands on the scripture in an attempt to open it, but they were unsuccessful.

“It’s no use. We don’t have the same physique, so we can’t open this book at all.” Wang Teng shook his head.

"Since we can't open it, can we move it?" Duan De suddenly asked.

He and Wuliang exchanged a glance, and the two of them, thinking it through, immediately took out a shovel and began digging at the ground next to the scripture.

However, they almost broke their shovels digging, but still failed.

This is, after all, the training ground of an ancient emperor, and since the ancient emperor left his legacy here, how could he possibly let someone else take it away so easily?
"I suggest you try a different approach," Black Emperor said cheerfully from the side.

This is why he didn't resist Duan De and the others entering Zishan at all, because he knew that almost everything here had a backup plan, and it was impossible for Duan De and the others to gain any substantial benefits here!
"What's the idea?" Duan De asked.

Although he really didn't want to deal with Black Emperor, he was currently helpless due to the surrounding terrain.

“Taking the scriptures directly, and digging up the land next to them, are both too troublesome. Why don’t we start from the root and move Purple Mountain away?” Black Emperor asked with a smile.

"Get out of here! I knew you couldn't say anything nice. I must have been blinded by utter nonsense to listen to your rubbish!" Duan De's face darkened.

“Give up. I’ve heard that this scripture is extraordinary. To open it, one needs to have the same physique as the Great Emperor Wushi, who is said to have a congenital holy body and Dao embryo,” the Black Emperor said.

"What is this Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo? I've never heard of it before." Duan De pondered this name, which felt unfamiliar, yet at the same time seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but had never actually seen it.

"It is the combination of the Holy Body and the Innate Dao Embryo that gives birth to a child with the Innate Holy Body and Dao Embryo. It is said that the Great Emperor Wushi had this special physique and was invincible among those of the same realm. If the Wushi Scripture is added to this, then he will surely be the most brilliant star in the future!"

"Black Emperor spoke," he said.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly sighed softly.

"But that's a Primordial Sacred Body Dao Embryo! The conditions required are extremely demanding. Let alone the legendary Primordial Dao Embryo, even a Sacred Body is rare these days. I guess we'll never see a Primordial Sacred Body Dao Embryo appear in our lifetime, nor will we see the day when the Beginningless Scripture shines again. What a pity! I've heard that the Beginningless Scripture contains many unpredictable forbidden techniques that can be cultivated without a Primordial Sacred Body Dao Embryo. It's truly...sigh..."

Black Emperor deliberately let out a long sigh and spoke in a dejected tone.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Duan De and Wang Teng both looked at Ye Fan.

"No, why are you looking at me like that..." Ye Fan felt a little uneasy.

P.S.: Went out for dinner, author's get-together.
