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

Chapter 23 Waiting for the Rabbit to Fall into the Trap: Final Preparations

This is clearly the Divine Phoenix Cave.

This is a secret place. If nothing unexpected happens, the powerful ancestor who was protecting him should not have been able to enter.

Although the powerful beings are very strong, they are still quite different from the Divine Phoenix.

Wang Teng knew that the Divine Phoenix Cave posed no danger to him, so he went straight in.

Sure enough, this was just like a special place for inheritance, without any danger. Wang Teng went deeper and deeper until he arrived at the deepest part of the Divine Phoenix Cave.

Here is a crystal-clear, shimmering feather, seemingly a tail feather, over ten feet long. Even though it has been separated from the body for countless years, it still shines brightly and exudes a powerful aura.

Besides the tail feathers, there are also three small bottles, which are equally eye-catching.

Wang Teng knew that these were probably three drops of the blood of the Undying Divine Phoenix, originally intended for its descendants, but now, they had benefited Wang Teng.

Wang Teng put away the Divine Phoenix's tail feathers and casually tossed them into the Golden Ancient War Chariot.

Inside the golden ancient chariot, the golden tail feathers struggled violently, and even the golden ancient chariot in Wang Teng's sea of ​​suffering trembled.

Fortunately, a wisp of energy descended from the Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe, calming the Golden Ancient War Chariot down, and the Divine Phoenix Tail Feather within it also ceased to move.

Only then did Wang Teng raise his head with relief and look at the three bottles in front of him.

The bottle appears to be made of mutton-fat jade, pure white and warm to the touch, emitting a faint red glow—this is because the blood of the immortal phoenix within the bottle is far too powerful!

But someone is even stronger!
Wang Teng reached out and took three bottles of Undying Phoenix Blood, casually tossing them into his own Sea of ​​Bitterness, where they were suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword, the Chaotic Ancient Divine Talisman, and the Golden Armguard.

Wang Teng understood immediately. In the original story, Wang Teng at this moment only possessed three powerful legendary holy weapons: the Heavenly Emperor Holy Sword, the Chaotic Ancient Divine Talisman, and the Golden Ancient War Chariot. At most, he could only suppress three things.

Deep within the Divine Phoenix Cave, there are four things, which is why Wang Teng in the original story missed out on the Divine Phoenix's tail feathers.

But Wang Teng now is different; he wants it all!
Inside the Divine Phoenix Cave, Wang Teng sat down cross-legged and began to continue his cultivation.

Given his current condition, he definitely cannot drink the blood of the Undying Phoenix directly, otherwise the enormous power within it will explode immediately, bringing very bad effects to Wang Teng.

Therefore, he could only slightly open the mouth of the jade bottle to allow the Ancient Emperor Scripture to draw in the Undying Divine Phoenix Blood from the jade bottle little by little, drawing only a trace each time, and then slowly refining it.

Even so, Wang Teng felt that his cultivation level was advancing by leaps and bounds!
He broke through to the second minor realm, focusing on the kidneys!
In the Five Elements theory, the kidneys belong to the water element. Kidney water is inexhaustible and inherently contains the true meaning of the blood of the immortal phoenix.

Therefore, with less than a third of the Undying Phoenix Blood being refined, Wang Teng had already opened the door to the second Dao Palace Divine Treasury and awakened the second Dao Palace Deity.

By this time, half a year had passed.

Wang Teng refined the remaining half of the drop of Undying Divine Phoenix Blood in one go, taking a year and a half to finally reach the peak of the second level of the Dao Palace.

The spirit within his kidneys awakened, and the kidney water flowed continuously, nourishing his body and giving him endless vitality.

Wang Teng looked inward and saw that his life spring had indeed changed again. Compared to before, it had expanded considerably, with more life essence gushing out, like smoke rising into the sky.

After reaching the pinnacle of the Kidney Divine Treasury, Wang Teng stood up. He still had two drops of the Undying Divine Phoenix Blood left, so he didn't rush to break through.

He wanted to find the other three treasures corresponding to the five elements. If he could obtain them, even without the Western Emperor Scripture, Wang Teng was confident that he would be no weaker than anyone else in the Dao Palace Secret Realm!
Now, he has a general idea of ​​what to expect from one of the other three things.

Of all things under heaven, nothing is more compatible with the earth than the source of the mother energy of all things.

Besides that, Wang Teng needs to seriously search for it.

But now is definitely not the time. He's been here for two years already, and the powerful patriarch outside must be getting anxious.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Teng left the Divine Phoenix Cave, he saw the powerful ancestor standing guard at the spot where Wang Teng had disappeared, his expression complicated.

The powerful ancestor had been pondering this for two years, but he still couldn't figure out why some people could suddenly disappear even when flying with their eyes closed.

If it were anyone else, the powerful ancestor would have immediately concluded: dead, beyond saving, go home.

However, this is Wang Teng, an oddball who cannot be judged by common sense, who had many opportunities since childhood.

Based on the experience of the powerful ancestor, Wang Teng has likely obtained some extraordinary opportunity again.

Moreover, based on the special nature of this place, the powerful ancestor estimated that it was at least the legacy of a saint!

Seeing Wang Teng emerge, the powerful ancestor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Dao Palace Level Two?" The powerful ancestor clicked his tongue in amazement.

How come this kid's cultivation level has improved again after not seeing him for a while?
"Yes, I had some fortuitous opportunities and broke through to this level," Wang Teng said.

He didn't mention the remaining two bottles of Undying Phoenix Blood, and the powerful ancestor didn't ask any further questions.

In reality, for Wang Teng, the real breakthrough didn't take too long in the past two years; the main reason was that absorbing the blood of the Undying Divine Phoenix took too long.

Wang Teng guessed that this so-called Undying Divine Phoenix Blood was probably left behind by the Undying Heavenly Phoenix.

After all, in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, there seems to be only this one divine phoenix, and it even fell out of the Immortal Realm.

It's already quite remarkable that he was able to spend two years absorbing a single drop of the Undying Phoenix Blood.

The entire process was fraught with danger. If his sea of ​​suffering hadn't been so lively, even if he had been given twenty years, he probably wouldn't have been able to refine even a single drop of the Undying Divine Phoenix Blood.

“Some fortuitous encounters,” the powerful patriarch of the Wang family said with a smirk.

He's truly a chosen one, able to encounter opportunities even with his eyes closed, unlike those old fogies who can only run into a brick wall if they try to walk with their eyes closed.

"It's almost time; we can return to the Northern Plains," the powerful ancestor reminded him.

Wang Teng understood; he had been away for several years and it was about time he could go back.

If he goes back now and everything goes smoothly, he can still catch his younger brother's birth. Then he will have to stay in the Wang family for a while longer to make sure his brother doesn't turn out badly.

However, before that, Wang Teng did something else.

A burly man with a dark face emerged from Wang Teng's kidney essence. He had a clear goal in mind and went directly to the recently famous tomb, intending to wait for his prey to come to him.

Then, Wang Teng began preparing to leave the Eastern Wilderness and return to the Northern Plains.

However, Wang Teng still made some arrangements on the way.

He found a hotel with the surname Jiang. Although the little girl hadn't been born yet, it didn't stop Wang Teng from showing off in front of the old man and making a deeper impression on him.

Then, he bought candied hawthorns and steamed buns for the homeless girl for several days, delivering them to her day after day, and made the homeless girl call him Brother Wang Teng.

“The Dao Fruit and the physical body should not be the same thing, so I should be fine…” Wang Teng pondered.
