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

Chapter 224 The Black Emperor Acknowledges His Identity

Hearing Duan De say that, Ye Fan's face darkened even more.

For a fleeting moment, he even considered turning around and leaving with Wang Teng and Wang Erya, handing Duan De over to Hei Huang so that Hei Huang could trick him again.

However, this place is already very close to the very center of Zishan Mountain; in fact, it could be said that they have already arrived at the very center.

In front of them was a huge altar, shrouded in a thin mist that obscured what was on it.

Even though they couldn't see anything, they could still sense the special nature of this place, as if there was a special power here.

"Is this the place where the Great Emperor once attained enlightenment?" Ye Fan asked.

“The Great Emperor has reached the end of this path, so he almost never seeks enlightenment anymore, but in his later years, he often comes here to gaze at the starry sky,” the Black Emperor said.

His words concerned the Emperor's search for the Heart. Normally, Duan De's men would have pressed Pei Huang on how he knew, but at this moment they subconsciously ignored the question because they wanted to hear the Black Emperor continue.

"Looking up at the starry sky?" Ye Fan asked.

“Yes, in his later years, the Great Emperor often gazed at the stars here, and he even murmured to himself about the world and civilization on the other side of the stars,” the Black Emperor said.

In fact, he knew in his heart that he might have brought up too much, but with Wang Teng as an example, and even the complete Supreme Emperor Weapon appearing, and the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon God even greeting him, Black Emperor subconsciously felt that his identity was not so special, and that the topic of ancient emperors was not something that could not be discussed.

"Did the Great Emperor Wushi know that there was a world with civilization on the other side of the starry sky?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

He comes from the other side of the starry sky, so he cares a lot about these things.

"Of course," the Black Emperor said casually, as if it were a matter of course. Ancient emperors could reach any place in the starry sky with a single thought. Whether it was the so-called other shore or the depths of the starry sky, it was just a part of their journey.

“The ancient emperors could traverse the starry sky…” Ye Fan’s eyes flickered.

Having been in this world for so long, although he sometimes doesn't show it, he actually misses his hometown and his family every moment.

If given the chance, Ye Fan would definitely go back to visit.

"What are you thinking about?" The Black Emperor glanced at Ye Fan. "For a moment, I don't know if you underestimated the ancient emperors or overestimated the starry sky. Let alone the ancient emperors, even the ancient saints can travel through the starry sky at will. Once they reach that level, they can ignore the coldness of the void and travel freely through the starry sky."

"Ancient sages..." Ye Fan murmured to himself.

Ye Fan had never seen a living ancient emperor, but he had seen living ancient sages and the remains of the Ancient Sacred Body, which was comparable to the ancient sages.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the ancient sages are closer to his current level of understanding.

"This is where the ancient emperors meditated..." Duan De looked at the tall altar in front of him, his eyes filled with emotion.

"Don't get any bad ideas, kid. This is a place where the Great Emperor once stayed. If anything happens, no one can protect you!" Black Emperor said very seriously.

Although he didn't think Duan De could cause any real damage here, this was, after all, a place where the Great Emperor Wushi had once stayed, and the Black Emperor still didn't want it to suffer any destruction.

"What are you thinking? I have nothing but respect for the ancient emperors. How could I possibly do anything to blaspheme them?" Duan Deyi said righteously.

"So, can I take two stones back with me so that I can pay my respects to the place where the ancient emperor sat every day?" Duan De rubbed his hands together and asked. "If you're not afraid of death, you should be able to," the Black Emperor said, baring his teeth.

"Understood!" Duan De nodded.

Just when Black Emperor thought Duan De was about to give up, he saw that Duan De and Wu Liang actually wanted to approach the altar and pick up a couple of scrap stones from there.

Fortunately, that was where the Great Emperor once meditated. Even if the Great Emperor did not deliberately leave any backup plan, the automatic accumulation of Daoist energy there formed a powerful aura that could prevent others from getting close.

Duan De and Wu Liang tried for a long time but failed, and finally had to give up.

“There is indeed the aura of an ancient emperor here, and it is quite strong.” A huge battle axe appeared behind Wang Teng at some point, floating in mid-air. The voice came from the battle axe, carrying a sense of antiquity and vicissitude.

"Greetings, Senior." Upon seeing the appearance of the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon, the Black Emperor immediately became unusually serious and solemn, and spoke very respectfully.

On one hand, it was out of respect for the ancient emperor of the human race; on the other hand, he had almost offended him last time. Although he knew that both the ancient emperor and the supreme imperial weapon were very magnanimous and would not hold grudges against others over trivial matters, he still maintained a very respectful attitude.

"Is this the emperor you once followed?" Chaotic Ancient Emperor asked casually.

The Black Emperor's identity can be kept secret from others, but not from him.

As an ultimate imperial weapon, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon is far too familiar with the aura of the Great Emperor.

Even though the Chaotic Ancient Emperor and the Beginningless Emperor are two different emperors, their unique imperial aura is still easy to distinguish.

This big black dog possessed an aura that only beings who had served ancient emperors for a long time could acquire.

"Yes, I once followed the Great Emperor Wushi." The Black Emperor nodded, actually admitting his origins.

If it were any other time, and Ye Fan and Duan De had asked him this, he certainly wouldn't have admitted it so easily.

However, the situation is different now. The one who asked the question is an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, an existence that can be compared to the ancient emperors to a certain extent. Naturally, the Black Emperor could not hide it from the other party.

Duan De and Ye Fan both looked at the Black Emperor in shock, as this was the first time the Black Emperor had admitted his identity.

It was only because the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon was here that the two of them were able to surround the Black Emperor and tease each other.

It's strange, really. The Black Emperor was someone who had followed the ancient emperors, but neither Ye Fan nor Duan De seemed to have any respect for him.

It's probably because Black Emperor has cheated them too many times.

"The Great Emperor Wushi, I've heard his legend before. He was said to be the one who reaches the pinnacle of the immortal path, and who can conquer all with a single glance at him? But I was asleep during that time, and when I awoke and heard the tales of this great emperor, so much time had passed. I never imagined that I would witness even a wisp of his legacy here..."

"The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon said."

On the altar, a burly figure appeared out of nowhere, his black hair flowing freely, his back to all living beings…
