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

Chapter 247 A True Dragon Within the Source (Bonus Chapter 1)

In reality, Wang Teng certainly knew what the Source was. Qi Hao was merely a deity of his Dao Palace; even the ability of his Divine Eye to see through illusions was something his true self possessed and was a gift bestowed upon him.

The thing contained in that watermelon-sized stone wasn't anything particularly special or precious.

It was merely a single drop of golden liquid sealed within the divine source.

However, the origin of that drop of liquid may be somewhat unusual.

Within the divine source, the drop of golden liquid constantly shifted, sometimes transforming into a small true dragon soaring through the air. Other times, it transformed into a dragon pearl, shimmering with golden light, and still other times, it transformed into a drop of liquid, its rich fragrance even materializing and drifting within the divine source.

"Since it's a gift from Brother Qi, then I'll accept it." Wang Teng smiled casually and accepted the watermelon-sized stone without even cutting it open to see what was inside.

"Brother Wang, won't you take a look at what's inside? It could be very useful to you, and you might be able to use it right now," Qi Hao said with a smile.

Seeing this, the people around also chimed in.

Although they were curious about the outcome of the stone gambling, seeing how much the Yuanshu family cared about or even feared Qi Hao, they were also filled with curiosity about the stones that Qi Hao had casually given away.

Moreover, when Qi Hao gave away that stone, he also said that he would ask Wang Teng to save him once in the future.

They were even more curious about the stone because they knew it would be of great use to Wang Teng. They couldn't wait to find out what was inside that Qi Hao would give to Wang Teng as a favor.

"I only care about the sentiment behind the gift, not its value. But since everyone wants to see what's inside, let's cut the stone."

Wang Teng spoke, his fingertips flicking, and a small sword shimmering with purple light appeared in his hand.

Mysterious patterns appeared on the small sword, intricate and profound, depicting the mysteries of the evolution of living beings. It seemed as if there were even remnants of the creation and destruction of the universe, scenes of ancient people's sacrifices, like traces left by divine scriptures in the world.

This is a real anomaly; the Daoist aura surrounding the small purple sword is wrapped around Wang Teng's fingertips.

An elder from a sacred family on the platform stared wide-eyed in shock, exclaiming, "Divine Mark Purple Gold!"

They were all discerning people, and they had already realized that the small sword in Wang Teng's hand was forged from the legendary Divine Mark Purple Gold.

Their faces were filled with shock, their eyes with disbelief, and some even showed signs of interest.

This is Divine Mark Purple Gold, a material used to forge supreme imperial weapons. It is extremely precious, and even adding just a little bit when forging weapons can greatly improve their quality!
The divine marks that linger above are, according to legend, true divine scriptures. Whoever can decipher them will surely become a legendary deity in the future.

Although Wang Teng's divine-marked purple gold was not numerous, it had been forged into a weapon with extremely high skill, and even contained imperial runes!
Some people are already tempted, but they dare not make any rash moves.

Wang Teng's strength is one thing, but the Ji family, the Jiang family, and people from the Yao Guang Holy Land are also watching this stone gambling battle. These three families have a good relationship with Wang Teng, so if anyone dares to make a move, these three families will definitely not hesitate to strike.

Moreover, the Peacock King is watching the battle from the sidelines. The Peacock King kidnapped Wang Teng back then, and now that Wang Teng has escaped, it's unreasonable for the Peacock King not to know. So if a real fight breaks out, the Peacock King will most likely side with Wang Teng.

Therefore, those who were tempted immediately suppressed their emotions and did not dare to make any move, only marveling at the divine purple gold in Wang Teng's hand.

Even the Black Emperor felt a pang of heartache upon seeing the Divine Mark Purple Gold in Wang Teng's hand.

The reason for his heartache was that he saw the divine artifact, Divine Mark Purple Gold, but he didn't dare to try and snatch it, after all, Wang Teng had a complete Supreme Emperor Weapon behind him.

Having learned his lesson, the Black Emperor was now somewhat afraid of Wang Teng. After taking out the Divine Mark Purple Gold Small Sword, Wang Teng didn't let anyone else cut the stone, but instead did it himself, his technique showing considerable skill.

Layers of stone peel fell away as his fingers deftly moved, and those around him instinctively held their breath, anticipating the divine object hidden within the stone.

Soon, a dazzling light shone through a thin layer of stone, and a rich and brilliant life force emerged, moving many of the older generation of powerful figures around.

Upon seeing this light, someone excitedly exclaimed, "Divine Source!"

It's actually a divine source!
Those people from the sacred lands and aristocratic families naturally knew Qi Hao's abilities, and they were not surprised when they saw the Divine Source.

They would have been surprised if Qi Hao hadn't made a move; it would have been more surprising if it weren't for the Divine Source.

But others didn't know, and some were even seeing this unruly red-haired boy for the first time. When they saw the red-haired boy casually give away a piece of divine source, they were incredibly surprised.

At this point, the stone cutting was not yet fully completed.

Wang Teng's fingers flew as he continued to cut the stone in his hand.

Soon, the complete divine source appeared in his hand.

The divine source was about half the size of a head, radiating a dazzling light and exuding a life force. Anyone around it could feel the rich life force even with just a breath.

However, those people stared wide-eyed.

What caught their attention was not the sheer size of the divine source, but rather what it contained within it.

A small dragon is swimming in the divine source!

Although the little dragon was no longer than a finger, it was incredibly lifelike and vivid. It was impossible to examine it in detail through the divine source, but to everyone, it seemed to be a real, living dragon!
Such a small dragon... is it a dragon cub?
Some people couldn't sit still any longer. They took two steps forward, their eyes fixed on the little dragon in the divine source.

Even if this thing isn't a real dragon, its value is absolutely terrifying!

Even the Black Emperor's eyes widened, and he kept saying "Damn it."

"What's wrong? Is something wrong with this thing?" Ye Fan asked subconsciously.

"No, this thing is very precious! But why give it to Wang Teng? If it's given to Wang Teng, I won't dare to snatch it! It would be so much better if it were given to you! If it were given to you, this thing would already be with me!" Black Emperor said confidently.

Ye Fan's face darkened upon hearing this, and he simply turned his head away, too lazy to pay any attention to this despicable black dog!

Just as the man and the dog were bickering, another shocking change occurred within the divine source!

The little dragon that was swimming around transformed again, turning into a crystal-clear and dazzling dragon pearl!

At this moment, the powerful and knowledgeable people around also came to their senses and realized, "The essence of the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality!"

The surrounding area immediately erupted in commotion!
