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

Chapter 28 The Demon Emperor's Tomb, the Curtain Rises
The desolate and forbidden land consists of nine sacred mountains arranged in a ring, enclosing a bottomless abyss.

Wang Teng did not recklessly explore the abyss.

Now that the barbarian slaves haven't appeared, this is the perfect opportunity for Wang Teng.

After bathing, he went to another sacred mountain and jumped into the pool.

The fruit here, naturally, did not escape his grasp either.

Of the fruit that grew on the tree, Wang Teng picked about a quarter of it, ate most of it, and suppressed the remaining small portion inside the golden ancient war chariot.

As for the pool of water, Wang Teng did not take any.

His unusual phenomenon in his Sea of ​​Wheels—the long river flowing backwards—seems to neutralize the power of the Ancient Forbidden Land, preventing him from being affected by its power and maintaining his age and vitality while also ensuring that his Sea of ​​Bitterness, Life Spring, and Divine Power Source are not blocked.

It can be said that the most dangerous things for Wang Teng in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land were the Desolate Slave and that Ruthless Great Emperor.

On the contrary, the "power of the wilderness" that others feared had no effect on Wang Teng.

So he only picked the fruit and didn't touch the spring, since he could come back again in the future.

The fruit from this sacred mountain greatly helped Wang Teng. The small lake of divine sense on his forehead boiled, golden lightning flashed, and Wang Teng's perception of everything around him became more acute.

As the golden lightning slowly dissipated, Wang Teng's divine sense underwent a transformation. Not only did the small lake of his divine sense become larger, but the water also became thicker, which meant that his divine sense was more powerful than before!
Before leaping out of the divine pool and leaving this sacred mountain, Wang Teng had a sudden thought. He stopped, and using his finger as a pen, left deep marks on the ground, forming a line of words:

This ancient forbidden land lives up to its name. I, Duan De, bathe here and scatter flower petals, hoping that those who come after me can also enjoy the refreshing sensation of bathing!

Fortunately, Wang Teng's source of divine power was not sealed, otherwise he wouldn't even have had the chance to carve words here.

After carving the words, Wang Teng suddenly felt a little guilty.

Could those people in the desolate forbidden land be watching me...?

"Probably not," Wang Teng reassured himself.

Even the barbarians can't speak. The Ruthless Great Emperor's true form and Dao Fruit are separated, so he might not pay attention to such trivial details. Even if he did, given his personality, he wouldn't publicize it.

So Wang Teng felt much more at ease. He got some flower petals and scattered them in the spring water.

Imagine Ye Fan's reaction when he sees this line of text again after he has exhausted himself climbing the sacred mountain and drinking spring water to recover his vitality.

On the next few sacred mountains, Wang Teng followed the same method, leaving behind various seemingly generous invitations for everyone to bathe, but in reality, they were lewd and obnoxious, all signed by Duan De.

He even made a special trip back to the first sacred mountain, where he carved his name before leaving happily.

On the way back, Wang Teng's Sea of ​​Constellations continued to flow slowly backward, as if it were reversing time and space for him, and he remained unaffected by the power of the Ancient Forbidden Land.

Unfortunately, once he left the area of ​​influence of the ancient forbidden land, Wang Teng's karmic sea returned to normal and continued to flow slowly forward.

Wang Teng tried it, but found that he still couldn't shake his altered state of consciousness.

"What kind of strange phenomenon is this? Let's just call it the Great Emperor's Strange Phenomenon..." Wang Teng complained. He rushed all the way to the outside of the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven. With his cultivation level, hiding his figure here without being discovered was extremely easy.

Wang Teng was cultivating here to absorb the power of the sacred mountain fruit he had eaten, and also to keep an eye on Ye Fan.

The original work is ultimately just a book; he wanted to see for himself Ye Tiandi's initial personality and how he grew up.

This also means that while the general direction of Wang Teng's future interactions with Ye Fan will be correct, some subtle aspects will also have a significant impact.

The fruits of the sacred mountain are all different, and their medicinal effects also vary. Some can strengthen the physical body, some can strengthen the divine sense, and some can stabilize one's realm...

Wang Teng's current realm is far higher than Ye Fan's when he obtained the Sacred Fruit, but even so, these fruits are still of great benefit to him.

His physical strength has changed, and it is estimated that it is comparable to that of a cultivator in the Four Extremes Secret Realm. His spiritual lake is calm and still, and the golden water in it is as thick as mercury. When it is slightly agitated, golden lightning flashes in Wang Teng's eyes, carrying a captivating majesty.

The secret of the previous word and the Heavenly Eye of Martial Arts also became more powerful due to the enhancement of divine sense.

Wang Teng's cultivation level remained at the fourth level of the Dao Palace, but his overall strength had improved significantly.

If he were to face his past self before entering the desolate forbidden land, Wang Teng felt that his past self might not last more than three moves against him.

"Unfortunately, the Dao Palace Secret Realm is still missing the final treasure of the Spleen God, the source of all things' primordial energy..."

Wang Teng sighed.

He could have chosen the simplest way to break through. Although Beiyuan was not wealthy, the Wang family, as almost the largest family in Beiyuan, actually controlled more resources than many major sects in Donghuang.

After all, the Eastern Wilderness is rich in resources, but there are also many sects. After the resources are divided up, even some of the major sects that are second only to the Holy Land families may not control more resources than the Wang family.

If Wang Teng wanted to break through as quickly as possible, he could use the massive resources in the Wang family to quickly break through to the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm.

However, if he wanted to surpass himself in the original work, he could only find another way and choose a path that was different from that of his predecessors.

Just as Ye Fan was able to comprehend the dragon shape from the Tai Chi diagram, Wang Teng was also able to find a different path and a more suitable way for him to break through.

Regardless of the future, just looking at the present, Wang Teng felt that his choice was correct, as his combat strength far exceeded that of others at the same level.

Several months later, Wang Teng opened his eyes.

He had absorbed most of the medicinal effects of those sacred fruits, with a small amount still accumulating in his body, but he wasn't in a hurry to dissolve them.

He still has one minor realm to break through, and his current period of consolidation is also for the sake of soaring to the next minor realm.

Meanwhile, some problems arose with Ye Fan as well.

Everything unfolded exactly as it did in the original story!
Ye Fan obtains the Golden Dao Scripture, and the Demon Emperor's Tomb emerges!
As a force located very close to the Demon Emperor's tomb, Lingxu Cave Heaven naturally had no choice but to go and check the situation. They weren't too worried because they had Yaoguang Holy Land behind them, a powerful holy land that, although it didn't have a Great Emperor, possessed an Imperial Weapon!

Meanwhile, Duan De, the unscrupulous Taoist priest, had already met with Wang Teng's Taoist deity. The two met in front of the tomb of a sage in the Yao Guang Holy Land. They talked about everything under the sun, debated archaeological knowledge, and hit it off immediately. They became sworn brothers on the spot, and now they are coming to the Demon Emperor's Tomb together. The two are almost there.

A grand drama is finally about to unfold, with Wang Teng, for the first time as a transmigrator, intervening alongside some of the most powerful figures in the later stages of the novel "Covering the Sky"!
