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

Chapter 327 The Final Test! An Ancient Emperor of the Same Realm! (4k)

"Junior Wang Teng, a direct disciple of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor and a grand-disciple of the Ruthless Emperor, greets Senior Hengyu."

Facing the burly man, Wang Teng became serious and spoke in a respectful tone.

Although Wang Teng had never actually met Emperor Hengyu, he could tell from the shared aura with the Hengyu Furnace that this person was very likely a wisp of Emperor Hengyu's spirit attached to the Hengyu Furnace.

“Wang Teng… judging from the name, you’re not from the Jiang family. But being able to get this far is enough to prove your talent and ability.” The burly man opposite him nodded and said.

"Moreover, you are also a descendant of an ancient emperor, so your talent and ability should be up to par. The Chaotic Ancient Emperor, a senior figure, I have heard many rumors about him. And the Ruthless Great Emperor, who once looked down on an era, I have also heard rumors about her. I never expected that you are not only a descendant of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, but also a grand-disciple of that emperor."

The burly man sighed, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He sat cross-legged on Wang Teng's face. Although Wang Teng knew that the emperor in front of him only had a wisp of spirit left, his lifelike expression and the emotions he felt in front of him still made him subconsciously believe that the emperor in front of him was still alive and talking to him face to face.

"Yes." Wang Teng nodded.

"Please sit down." The burly man raised his hand, gesturing for Wang Teng to sit down.

Wang Teng sat down opposite the burly man.

The teacup in front of me exudes a rich aroma.

Wang Teng glanced at it and discovered that what was brewing in the teacup was no ordinary thing, but the legendary Enlightenment Tea.

A tea leaf, shaped like a small cauldron, sank to the bottom of the cup, emitting a rich aroma. Looking through the surface of the tea, whether due to the refraction of light or the special nature of the tea, he seemed to see a distortion of time and space, with a Daoist rhythm flowing through it, making it appear exceptionally mystical.

"Guests are welcome, there's nothing much to offer, just these few things to make do," the burly man said, gesturing for Wang Teng to drink the tea in front of him.

“It’s alright,” Wang Teng said calmly.

Although the conditions were indeed somewhat basic, he wasn't one to be picky about his surroundings.

Besides, if we're really talking about the environment, in today's world of Shrouding the Heavens, is there any place with a better environment than the Desolate Forbidden Land?

The Enlightenment Tea, which is extremely rare to outsiders, is something Wang Teng has no shortage of in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

He can even drink the freshest Enlightenment Tea whenever he wants, without having to lift a finger; the Enlightenment Tea will be delivered to him.

Therefore, although the conditions at the Jiang family's ancestral home were somewhat rudimentary, Wang Teng did not mind.

"Hmm?" The last remaining spirit of Emperor Hengyu and Hengyu Furnace, the burly man whom Wang Teng called Senior Hengyu, was taken aback.

Before this, he had met many geniuses from the Jiang family here. Every time he said this, the geniuses from the Jiang family would be flattered, because this might be the first time they had seen the legendary Enlightenment Ancient Tea.

Why does he feel that things are different now that geniuses from outside have come here?

However, as a remnant spirit of an ancient emperor, he didn't care about such things.

His purpose in staying here was to select more outstanding talents for the Jiang family in all aspects, and then to teach them during discussions, so that they could understand the contents of the Hengyu Emperor Scripture more deeply and thoroughly.

This is also the greatest opportunity for the Jiang family's heritage site.

Anyone who can sit down and discuss philosophy with him will eventually grow into a powerful member of the Jiang family, capable of protecting the Jiang family for a long time.

Although the person who came here was not a disciple of the Jiang family, according to the rules, he still had to take out the few remaining Enlightenment Tea leaves and invite the other party to drink them. After the other party entered the Enlightenment Realm, he would sit down and discuss the Dao with the other party.

Wang Teng didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the tea in one gulp.

Compared to the experience of his own Dao Palace deity Lu Hao in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the Enlightenment Tea nowadays does seem rather bland.

However, it was precisely because Lu Hao consumed so many rare and precious materials in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and even drank Enlightenment Tea as ordinary tea, that he was able to cultivate so many Great Emperor Ancient Scriptures and learn so many powerful moves in such a short period of time.

At present, this ancient tea leaf of enlightenment can only barely pull him into the realm of enlightenment.

However, that's about enough.

"Being able to come here shows that you are exceptionally talented, having passed the remaining three tests of Emperor Hengyu in terms of combat prowess and temperament. According to the rules left by the Emperor, now that we are here, I should sit down and discuss the Dao with you."

Hengyu spoke up.

He is neither the Great Emperor Hengyu nor the supreme deity of the Hengyu Imperial Weapon. He is merely a wisp of spirit left behind by the Great Emperor, fused with the supreme imperial weapon, and used only to guard the inheritance ground and select geniuses here.

"Thank you, senior." Wang Teng nodded.

"Do you know what Emperor Hengyu went through?" Hengyu asked, not rushing to discuss the Dao with Wang Teng, but instead posing a question.

Wang Teng thought to himself, "Every question really hits the nail on the head."

What did Emperor Hengyu go through?
Others might not know, but Wang Teng knew it perfectly well.

"After Emperor Hengyu attained enlightenment..." Wang Teng began, recounting everything in detail.

While reading "Covering the Sky," he enjoyed collecting information about the experiences of ancient emperors. Like most readers of "Covering the Sky," he felt that each character in the story could be a great biography on their own.

Therefore, he had deliberately researched and searched for the experiences of every ancient emperor.

After arriving in this world, whenever he had the chance, Wang Teng would still collect rumors about the ancient emperors. Even after arriving in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, Wang Teng would often discuss rumors about the ancient emperors with the Great Accomplishment Holy Body.

Not to mention, Wang Teng also has the talkative Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon in his sea of ​​suffering. The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon has lived long enough and has been holding it in for so long. Now that he finally has someone to confide in, how could he possibly hold back?
Therefore, if we were to find someone among those who travel abroad today who knows the most about ancient history, it would undoubtedly be Wang Teng.

After Wang Teng finished speaking, Heng Yu looked appreciative and said, "I didn't expect that you, who are not from the Jiang family, would know so much about Emperor Heng Yu's past."

"To be honest, Emperor Hengyu is one of the strongest figures I admire most. Every strong person who protects the human race from the ancient races is someone I admire, and Emperor Hengyu was the forerunner and the strongest person of that era. I have great respect and admiration for him," Wang Teng said.

He didn't over-express himself in this regard; it was a genuine expression of his feelings, and Wang Teng had indeed always thought so.

“I can sense that what you say is true.” Hengyu nodded.

"Now that you have passed the second test, and within those three hundred feet, you have had a preliminary contact with the legacy of Emperor Hengyu, do you know what the true meaning of Hengyu is?"

Hengyu continued to ask.

Faced with this answer, Wang Teng hesitated. "The true meaning of Emperor Hengyu..." Wang Teng pondered, "is too pale to describe. Let me show it in another way."

As Wang Teng raised his hand, a wisp of flame appeared at his fingertips, growing larger and larger as it burned!
Deep within the land of inheritance, the Holy Master of the Jiang family wore a solemn expression.

Except for a brief stop when he was 200 feet away from the Supreme Emperor Weapon, Wang Teng made almost no stops for the remaining 100 feet and rushed to the deepest part in one go.

At this moment, Wang Teng was only fifty feet away from the bottom of the Supreme Emperor Weapon, which was the distance that the God King had reached back then.

Everyone in our family gasped.

Could it be that this prodigy from outside the world has actually broken the record of the God King Ancestor?
In contrast, the white-robed God King remained calm as he looked at Wang Teng, who was standing beneath the Supreme Emperor Weapon in the distance.

The God King believed that with Wang Teng's talent, he was likely to surpass him.

Even he, at the same level, could not achieve the feats that Wang Teng had accomplished.

Some people looked at Wang Teng, who was only a few dozen feet away from the Supreme Emperor Weapon, with worried expressions. They were concerned that this outsider would steal the opportunity that belonged to the Jiang family.

However, looking at the Holy Lord and the group of Supreme Elders in front of them, they forcibly suppressed their worries.

After all, both the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elder had reminded them not to show xenophobia, so even if they were unwilling, they could only suppress their worries and continue to watch as this outsider gradually approached their Jiang family's ultimate imperial weapon.

Yes, Wang Teng is still moving forward.

In that brief moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, Wang Teng moved forward a few more feet, and at this moment he was only forty feet away from the Supreme Emperor Weapon!
This has surpassed the record set by the God-King!
"As expected, in terms of talent, Wang Teng far surpasses me." The God King's gaze was serious, and he was not too surprised by this result.

He had guessed it would be like this from the beginning, and now it's just that his guess has been confirmed.

"If you were Emperor Hengyu back then, what would you have done?" Hengyu asked.

"Emperor Hengyu is training his troops in the Primordial Ancient Mine to intimidate the creatures within. If I were Emperor Hengyu, I might not be able to find a better solution in a short time. But if I were him, there would be no more Ancient Emperors in the Primordial Ancient Mine!" Wang Teng said calmly.

"Young man, confidence is a good thing, but don't be too arrogant. You need to recognize your own strength. Throughout history, how many prodigies have wanted to become emperors in their youth? But what happened in the end? In millions of years, how many ancient emperors have there been?"

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, Heng Yu's expression changed slightly, turning from a smile to displeasure.

"Senior has never witnessed my true strength, so how do you know I can't do it?"

Wang Teng stood up.

The effects of the Enlightenment Tea have worn off.

Sure enough, he had consumed too much Enlightenment Tea in the past, which allowed him to progress rapidly for a period of time. As a result, now a single tea leaf has very limited effect on him.

Perhaps Hengyu originally deduced that one Enlightenment Tea Leaf would be enough for the visitors to cultivate here for a long time, enough to sustain them until the two of them finished their Enlightenment.

However, no one expected that Wang Teng had come into contact with Wudao Tea early on, and that it was almost an unlimited supply.

"Alright! Since you're so confident, let me see your true strength! Anyway, in the final stage, you and I were supposed to fight each other at the same level, but remember, your opponent will be Emperor Hengyu, who is at the same level!" Hengyu said.

He also stood up, his imposing figure exuding immense pressure.

He is not simply a supreme imperial weapon deity, nor is he a remnant spirit, but rather a fusion of a remnant spirit and a supreme imperial weapon. He does many things according to the rules.

At this moment, from the outside perspective, Wang Teng had arrived directly beneath the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, the Hengyu Furnace!

The group of people, including the Holy Master of the Jiang family, were all filled with shock.

"The first person in 100,000 years to approach the ultimate imperial weapon turned out not to be a member of our Jiang family, but merely someone from another family!"

"Wang Teng obtained the Jiang family's most core inheritance?"

"Who let Wang Teng in? How could they have let him walk through?"

"It's the patriarch and the God King..."

A group of people discussed in hushed tones, and the expressions of the Holy Master of the Jiang family and a group of Supreme Elders were not very pleasant.

They really didn't expect Wang Teng to have gone this far!
Just as everyone was waiting to see what would happen, Wang Teng actually reached out his hand to the Supreme Emperor Weapon!
"Senior, please enlighten me!"

Wang Teng remained calm.

Even when facing ancient emperors of the same realm, he remained unfazed.

He fought many powerful ancient saints of the same realm, and even the Great Accomplished Saint Body personally came down to train him, making him stronger little by little. In the end, he was not defeated even when fighting against a Great Accomplished Saint Body of the same realm!
It can be said that Wang Teng has fought against too many geniuses and powerful figures at the same level, as for ancient emperors at the same level.
Wang Teng has never tried it!
He did have that idea, wanting to learn from the ruthless Great Emperor who was at the same level, but each time he was stopped by the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon, who advised Wang Teng to give up that terrible idea. So far, Wang Teng has not had the opportunity to fight against the ancient Great Emperor.

"The divine furnace refines the void a hundred times, suppressing the eternal paths of different paths!" Hengyu slowly spoke.

At this moment, he personally unleashed the ultimate move from the Hengyu Emperor Scripture, demonstrating immense power that far surpassed that of others.

Flames filled the sky, transforming into a crimson phoenix, its cold eyes calmly gazing at Wang Teng as if looking at its prey.

“What a coincidence! I also know this trick, senior, and I’ve even made a slight innovation!” Wang Teng chuckled.

A muffled sound echoed between heaven and earth.

Wang Teng transformed into the four poles, using the great dragon of his spine to support the heavens and the earth!

His heart seemed to be the source of the world, and its beating could even evoke the tremors of the very origin of heaven and earth!

With each heartbeat, a layer of flame spread from Wang Teng's heart, transforming into a fiery domain, from crimson flames to five-colored flames, layer upon layer, clearly distinct!
A fiery phoenix surged from the sea of ​​fire, spreading its wings as if it had just been reborn from the ashes!

"Hengyu Zhenyi! You've only just come into contact with the Hengyu Sutra! Who exactly are you?" Hengyu asked softly.

“Originally, they called me the Northern Emperor Teng! Now, I want to change the way I’m addressed!” Wang Teng said calmly.

In a battle between those of the same realm, what does it matter if he's an Emperor?

P.S.: I've been adjusting my mindset these past couple of days, so all the chapters I'm posting are 4000 words long.
