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

Chapter 324 The Jiang Family's Divine Body: The Test of Inheritance (4k)

Deep within the Jiang family compound, the ultimate imperial weapon, the Hengyu Furnace, is enshrined. In addition, the deepest secrets of the Jiang family are also suppressed here.

Throughout history, generation after generation has passed, and only the Holy Lord of the Jiang family knows exactly what is enshrined within.

This is because it involves something very important to the Jiang family. The fewer people who know about it, the better; ultimately, only a small portion of the Jiang family knows.

Now, the Jiang family's God King has arrived with Wang Teng.

The God King's identity is very special. Although he is not the Holy Master of the Jiang family, in terms of strength and status, his identity even surpasses that of the Holy Master of the Jiang family.

One reason is that the Jiang family's God King is powerful enough, and he is different from those whose foundations have been sealed away.

He was revived from beginning to end; even though he was trapped in the abyss back then, he was not sealed in the divine source.

Therefore, he is currently the most respected person in the Jiang family, and naturally has the opportunity to enter this place.

Throughout the journey, the God King spoke to Wang Teng about the special features of this place.

After all, this is the place where the Jiang family has inherited their legacy, and being suppressed by the Hengyu Furnace makes it different from other places.

"In the event of a crisis, this is definitely the safest place for the Jiang family. Imperial weapons guard this place, and the family's resources are also buried here. Even during the Dark Ages, the deepest part of the Jiang family has never been breached," the God King said.

These are all events recorded in the history of the Jiang family. If the Jiang family were to face a crisis in the future, this place would definitely be a refuge for all members of the Jiang family.

"An imperial weapon suppresses an entire domain!" Wang Teng looked at the Hengyu Furnace in the distant sky and sighed with emotion.

There is a gap between ancient aristocratic families and holy lands, one of the most obvious differences being the supreme imperial weapon.

The gap between forces with supreme imperial weapons and those without is so vast that it is almost impossible to bridge.

The mere presence of an ultimate imperial weapon guarding the void is enough to deter countless people.
"Yes, it is precisely because the Supreme Emperor Weapon is so precious that someone tried to seize our Jiang family's Hengyu Furnace back in the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Holy City." The God King nodded.

However, those people are destined to waste their efforts. The Hengyu Furnace contains the imprint of the Jiang family's aura. Even if it is snatched away, it will return to the Jiang family on its own. No matter how much those people pay, they are destined to receive no response.

Those who have never truly mastered an ultimate imperial weapon will never know how miraculous it is; it is simply incomparable to legendary holy weapons.

As Wang Teng continued deeper into the valley where flames billowed, he encountered many members of the Jiang family, young and old, sitting cross-legged in different parts of the valley, silently sensing the aura within and comprehending the eternal truth imprinted upon this land.

"These are the people from our Jiang family who are comprehending the true meaning of Hengyu. Facing the Hengyu Imperial Weapon, they are trying to understand the scattered true meaning of Hengyu and combine it with the Hengyu Imperial Scripture to further their own progress," the God King said.

It's not hard to tell from the God King's words that the most common and simplest method the Jiang family uses to obtain the inheritance of Emperor Hengyu here is to use the power of their bloodline to activate the Emperor Hengyu weapon and resonate with it.

However, Wang Teng did not possess the bloodline of Hengyu. Seemingly worried that Wang Teng might overthink things, the God King spoke again:
"Of course, even if you are not of the Jiang family bloodline, as long as you can resonate with the Hengyu Furnace, you can still obtain the inheritance of the Hengyu Emperor. Bloodline is a shortcut, but it is not the only path."

“I understand.” Wang Teng nodded.

Ever since he entered the valley, he has felt a voice calling to him from the depths of the valley.

He guessed that it was Hengyu Furnace calling him.

Although he didn't know why this was the case, Wang Teng believed that the God King hadn't lied to him.

Being able to resonate with the Hengyu Furnace can indeed bring great benefits!

After venturing further in, Wang Teng encountered a young man with an ordinary face but a powerful aura. He was already at the pinnacle of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, even surpassing some Saint Son-level figures.

As he cultivated, a faint flame burned, evaporating the surrounding void and distorting it, as if it were under immense pressure.

Furthermore, if one looks closely, the flames burning beside the boy are not tangible fire, but intangible fire.

"Who is this?" Wang Teng asked, looking at the boy in the distance.

"This is the legendary Jiang family divine body," the God King said.

"So it was him!" Wang Teng realized.

There have long been rumors that the Jiang family also has a divine body, but it has never been revealed to the world and has been well protected by the Jiang family. As a result, some people even think that the Jiang family may not have any so-called divine body at all, and those rumors are just false.

The Jiang family has never come forward to clarify, which has led many people to believe that the rumors may be false.

Unexpectedly, Wang Teng was the first to see the Jiang family's divine body.

The other person looked to be in his early twenties, with an ordinary appearance and temperament. He had the most common looks, the kind that you might not even notice in a crowd. However, as he sat there, invisible flames burned around him. This was a rare phenomenon that could only be possessed by those who had cultivated the Hengyu Scripture to an extremely high level.

Throughout his journey, Wang Teng had never seen anyone like this young man who could cultivate the Hengyu Emperor Scripture to the point where extraordinary phenomena appeared around him.

"Indeed, the Jiang family has a divine body, but the outside world is in turmoil right now, which is a good time for the younger generation to learn from each other and exchange ideas. Why hasn't this Jiang family divine body appeared yet?" Wang Teng asked.

Upon hearing this, the God-King couldn't help but sigh softly.

"This divine body has a special identity. His parents are both Supreme Elders. They had him late in life and doted on him as their only child. So they kept him hidden away in the Jiang family's inheritance grounds, where he cultivated diligently. They also made it clear that he would only be allowed to emerge into the world to compete for the title of the number one person of his generation when he reached the Dragon Transformation Realm or even the Immortal Platform Realm."

The God-King couldn't help but sigh when this person's situation was mentioned.

However, the other party's parents also hold a very high position in the Jiang family. They are highly respected elders. Since it involves the other party's only offspring, even the Holy Lord or God King of the Jiang family would find it difficult to say anything.

"This... is too conservative. We'll inevitably miss out on a lot in the future," Wang Teng couldn't help but sigh.

He roughly knew why the god of the Jiang family in his previous life was defeated by Jiang Yifei.

Jiang Yifei's strength is one aspect, and the "seclusion" of this divine body is another.

No truly invincible person has ever achieved success by seclusion and solitary cultivation. Every invincible person has established their invincible Dao heart through countless battles and struggles.

"There's nothing we can do but hope that this little guy can come to his senses. Otherwise, even if he cultivates to that level, he'll still suffer a crushing defeat when he encounters you after he goes out," the God King said.

After Wang Teng's meteoric rise, who among his contemporaries could still claim to be invincible? During the Dragon Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, he slew six powerful beings whose cultivation levels were suppressed, and he even touched the Eight Forbidden Zones in front of everyone!

On a night in the holy city, Wang Teng single-handedly blocked a powerful attack, proving his talent to everyone!

For the younger generation, Wang Teng is like a mountain standing tall above them all. Anyone who wants to talk about their strength among the younger generation will inevitably encounter Wang Teng.

There is no one confident enough to tell Wang Teng that they are invincible among their generation.

If this divine body of the Jiang family were to be born in the future, as long as he had the ambition to compete with his peers, Wang Teng would still be an insurmountable obstacle for him.

In other words, Wang Teng and the young man from the Jiang family will inevitably meet again in the future.

“Everyone’s opportunities are different. Perhaps he will be able to obtain the complete inheritance of the Great Emperor, receive guidance from the Supreme Emperor Weapon, and go even further,” Wang Teng said with a light laugh.

Regardless of what the Jiang family thought of this so-called divine body, Wang Teng certainly couldn't say anything unpleasant, so he could only go against his conscience and praise the other party.

Anyway, he knew the fate of this divine body.

With Jiang Yifei around, this divine body can't even compete with his peers, let alone leave the Jiang family!
"There's no need for nice words. I once controlled the Hengyu Furnace and had a connection with it, so I know the general situation of this little guy. If he really continues to cultivate in such a step-by-step manner, I'm afraid he will have a hard time even becoming the number one among his generation within the Jiang family, let alone becoming the number one among his generation in the Eastern Wilderness." The God King shook his head. He roughly knew about the little guy's situation, so there was no need to say nice things.

Wang Teng sighed softly upon hearing this.

Everyone has their own path, and it's difficult for anyone to forcibly interfere with another person's path.

However, the path of the Holy Son of Yaoguang is an exception!
As you delve deeper, it becomes increasingly difficult to find any trace of the younger generation; the focus shifts to the older generation, even the more recent ones.

Some of them even have completely white hair and beards, making them look at least a thousand years old.

"These are elders or supreme elders of the Jiang family. They are here to cultivate and seek further enlightenment," the God King explained.

Wang Teng nodded.

Logically, one should have stopped here to cultivate and comprehend the Dao, but the God King had no intention of stopping and continued to lead Wang Teng deeper into the realm.

"The divisions outside are based on the cultivator's realm. Only those who have made certain contributions to the Jiang family can pass the review of the Supreme Elder or the Holy Lord before they can enter the deeper places," the God King explained.

From this point on, they began to encounter fewer and fewer cultivators.

Even those who do occasionally appear are all middle-aged.

Some people sensed the arrival of the God King and Wang Teng, opened their eyes, revealed kind smiles, and greeted them.

Wang Teng responded with a smile to all these people, whether he knew them or not.

Some people have been in seclusion here for a long time and are unaware of many things happening in the outside world. So when they saw two people, one big and one small, enter, they were puzzled as to why a member of a family would bring someone from another family here.

However, this is the deepest part of the Jiang family compound, suppressed by an ultimate imperial weapon, so they are not worried about any unexpected events. Therefore, they are only a little curious.

Seeing how warmly this stranger treated them, without any sense of distance, they couldn't help but wonder about his identity.

"A son-in-law of the Jiang family?" someone couldn't help but guess.

"Entering the Jiang family's territory so ostentatiously, with a powerful figure accompanying him, could he be a son-in-law with a powerful background?" someone added.

It's just that Wang Teng didn't know what the people behind him were saying, otherwise he would have stopped and given them a crooked smile.

Once inside the deepest part, this place was already within the coverage area of ​​the Supreme Emperor Weapon. It was difficult to even use divine sense here, so those people couldn't even detect the cultivation level of the God King, and Wang Teng naturally couldn't hear what the people behind him were saying.

"Within this area, you are free to move around. If you can walk directly beneath the Supreme Emperor Weapon, you can also cultivate and comprehend the Dao there. However, that means the Supreme Emperor Weapon's approval. Throughout history, very few people have been able to reach that place, and even within the Jiang family, there are very few who have been able to go there."

The white-robed god-king spoke, reminding Wang Teng.

He stopped there and did not go any further.

Because there is no need for him to go any further now, he will come here again in the future when his cultivation level is higher to receive other inheritances from Emperor Hengyu and further improve himself.

"Okay!" Wang Teng nodded.

Currently, he is still about a thousand feet away from directly below the Supreme Emperor Weapon.

In the outside world, this distance would be just a matter of lifting his leg, but here, a thousand zhang is not a short distance.

Above their heads, the supreme imperial weapon exuded its pressure, like a blood-soaked divine phoenix burning with flames taking flight. The faint pressure fell, and even with each step forward, they had to withstand the powerful pressure, resisting with both their physical body and divine sense at the same time, which required a tremendous amount of energy.

However, this process is also a form of cultivation, where one's spiritual sense and physical body can be tempered. Although the effect is not as great as that of the Heavenly Tribulation, it is still a means of tempering the physical body and spiritual sense, which is quite rare.

For Wang Teng, who had already experienced a proper heavenly tribulation, this pressure, though present, could not stop him.

What's more, he survived two Heavenly Tribulations in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm!
A distance of a thousand zhang is not too far for Wang Teng.

The first three hundred feet test the strength of one's physical body and spiritual power; only those who excel among those of the same realm have the opportunity to go deeper.

Coincidentally, Wang Teng was one of the best!
Although he was still in the second level of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, his physical body was comparable to that of a cultivator at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. His divine sense was even stronger. After being tempered by his grandmaster, the Ruthless Great Emperor, and several heavenly tribulations, his divine sense was comparable to that of a strong person who had just entered the Immortal Platform Secret Realm!
Therefore, the first three hundred feet did not stop Wang Teng, nor did it cause him any trouble.

He strode forward with his head held high and chest out, and soon he had covered the three hundred feet!

The God King watched this scene calmly from afar. He knew that the trials ahead could not stop Wang Teng, and Wang Teng's limits lay even deeper.

After walking the first three hundred feet, Wang Teng sensed the challenge ahead as he ventured one more step deeper.

"This is the test?"
