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

Chapter 344 Departure, Return to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land
"What? You're leaving?" A group of people looked at Wang Teng in front of them and asked in surprise.

No one expected that Wang Teng would actually leave the Eastern Wilderness.

Wang Teng has been in the Eastern Wilderness for a long time. He traveled there many years ago and has stayed there for even longer, interacting with many of the younger generation of geniuses.

As a result, everyone thought that Wang Teng might continue to stay in the Eastern Wilderness for a long time.

No one expected that Wang Teng would leave now.

“Yes, I’m leaving here. I’ve already reached the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. There’s no point in staying here any longer. I might as well set off to Zhongzhou for a visit.” Wang Teng said with a smile.

Although he had previously used the essence of the True Dragon Divine Medicine as a guide to help himself break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm, which already far surpassed others, the Dragon Transformation Realm is, after all, a great realm, and it is impossible to make up for everything by relying solely on the initial True Dragon phantom.

While it would be possible to ask someone else to find dragon marrow for me, it would still feel like something is missing.

So after much deliberation, Wang Teng decided to go there in person.

"That's right, I forgot about that." Li Heishui slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

Currently, the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness is still struggling at the peak of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and only those at the level of Holy Sons have reached that point. As for the other so-called prodigies, they are still far from reaching that level.

However, Wang Teng had already broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm long ago, and now he was actually standing on the third small step of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

This speed shocked and surprised them all.

"It's a pity that Her Highness the Princess is in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm. Otherwise, she would definitely have come to see me off today," the little dragon king in blue sighed.

"It's alright, I've already said goodbye to her." Wang Teng chuckled, raised his wine glass, and toasted in a certain direction.

“That’s right, Her Highness the Princess doesn’t like noise.” The little dragon king in blue robes came to his senses.

"The third small step of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm! This speed is too fast! I'm almost half a major realm ahead of the rest of the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness!" On the other side, Tu Fei seemed to have just reacted and exclaimed in shock.

Although these descendants of bandits can participate in banquets for holy sons, their current cultivation level is only at the fourth minor step of the fourth-level secret realm, still some distance from the peak of the four extreme secret realm, let alone the stronger Dragon Transformation secret realm.

"So why do you call him 'Young Master'?" Black Emperor asked.

Although he had heard this title when he last went to the Azure Dragon King's small world, he was still curious as to why these bandits were so convinced of Wang Teng's worth.
Is it simply because of ability?

However, Wang Teng is not the only powerful person in the Eastern Wilderness. Even if Wang Teng is the strongest among the younger generation, the others among the younger generation are also quite strong, at least surpassing these small bandits.

"You don't understand! In our hearts, I'm more than just a symbol of strength!" Tu Fei said, his tongue thick with slur.

"Ahem, then tell me secretly, what did your little master do to make you all admire him so much?" Black Emperor tried to get information out of him.

However, although they were slightly drunk, these bandits were no pushovers. When faced with Black King's attempts to get information out of them, they dodged the question and refused to say anything.

"With you gone, it feels like the Northern Region has lost its backbone. Qi Hao is unruly, and nobody knows what he might do next," the Black Emperor said, turning to Wang Teng.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems," Wang Teng said.

"Alas, what a pity. Although I am in the Northern Region, if something happens later, I may not be able to stop Qi Hao in time. Senior Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon will definitely follow you to the Central State. If the Source Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things were with me, perhaps I could still try my best..." The Black Emperor sighed and said.

Wang Teng smiled without saying a word, guessing that Black Emperor's words were definitely not good news.

"How about I talk to Qi Hao and ask him to give you the gourd?" Wang Teng said with a smile.

"Is it okay?" Black Emperor was slightly drunk and a little dazed. He didn't react in time and asked eagerly.

Qi Hao walked over with a cold expression.

"Hehehe, what do you think?" Qi Hao asked.

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually," the blackened man said with a grin.

This night marked Wang Teng's farewell to these young people.

In the following days, he visited several other families with whom he had good relations to bid farewell to them.

Finally, when it was time to leave, the patriarch of the Wang family found Wang Teng and asked him if he would come back to the Wang family for a final visit before leaving.
“Of course I will go back. After all, the Wang family is where I was born and raised,” Wang Teng said.

"Alright, I'm relieved to hear that!" The Wang family's patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Wang Teng is a member of the Wang family, he has been traveling for too long. In addition, he possesses an ultimate imperial weapon that can be fully revived at any time. Therefore, the Wang family's patriarch appears somewhat reserved when facing Wang Teng.

After seeing off his ancestor, Wang Teng looked into the distance.

He had already decided on his route to leave.

After leaving the Holy City, Wang Teng headed towards the Southern Region.

At this moment, Ye Fan was in the Southern Region, preparing to enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

The reason Wang Teng knew so much was because Ye Fan had been wandering around outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land for some time. Wang Teng was, after all, a legitimate successor of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and knew everything about it.

The bronze ring in his hand allows him to communicate with the ancient holy land at any time and gain access to the highest authority there.

Wang Teng knew exactly when Ye Fan went there and how many times he wandered around the Desolate Ancient Holy Land.

Of course, Wang Teng also knew that Ye Fan had already met the little girl at this time.

“The Holy Body… the Dao Fruit of the Ancestor…” Wang Teng pondered.

A scene suddenly flashed through his mind: Ye Fan ran to the edge of the desolate forbidden land, collapsed with a thud, covered in blood, and said, "It's okay if I die, but what about my sister..."

Wang Teng believed that if Ye Fan really said such a thing, his grandmaster would definitely rush out of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land that very day and kill everyone in the outside world who had a grudge against Ye Fan.

Unfortunately, Ye Fan hadn't read *Covering the Sky* and didn't know that he himself was the ultimate weapon of causality in the *Covering the Sky* world.

Wang Teng did not go directly to the Southern Region through the domain gate. Instead, he traveled at his own pace, stopping and starting along the way.

The road was long, and Wang Teng walked it as he pleased.

With his current level of cultivation, if he wanted to travel quickly, he could take out the Golden Ancient War Chariot and traverse a million miles in a single day. Even at his own pace, he would reach the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness in no time.

However, Wang Teng did not do that. He even stopped occasionally along the way to admire the scenery.

The wonders of nature in the fantasy world are far more beautiful than the natural landscapes of his previous life. Even after entering the Dragon Transformation Realm, Wang Teng couldn't help but be captivated by some of the unique scenery and landforms, lingering there for a long time.

"You're really something else, kid!" the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon transmitted its voice through Wang Teng's Sea of ​​Bitterness.

"If those physical constitutions in the outside world are called divine bodies, holy bodies, and innate Dao bodies, then you are simply an innate cultivation holy body!" Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon never hesitated to praise Wang Teng. In his opinion, Wang Teng was really special, as if he was born to cultivate.

"What you are experiencing now is the tempering of the heart. Many powerful beings only take this step when they are seeking to break through to the King of the Dao. But you are only in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm and you have already taken this step!" The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon said with emotion.

"Refining the mind?" Wang Teng pondered. He didn't feel anything special. Everything he did now was done as he pleased, according to his own heart.

"To be honest, even if you hadn't obtained the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient, your future achievements would have been limitless!" the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon exclaimed.

"If you were born in that era, what would be the point of Luan Gu? Not to mention Luan Gu, even those who suppressed him before he became an emperor wouldn't dare to utter a sound if you were in that era!" Luan Gu Imperial Weapon continued.

He always took pleasure in mocking the ancients and praising Wang Teng. Now that he saw that Wang Teng had actually entered the realm of refining the mind in the mortal world, he was even more generous in his praise of Wang Teng.

"This junior is still far from the level of a great being who has refined his heart in the mortal world. Right now, I only have a feeling and want to travel around the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Eastern Wilderness." Wang Teng said, still as humble and arrogant as before, in the face of the praise from the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon.

"Alright, alright, there's no need for us to be so polite now. Let's just speak our minds." Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon chuckled as he transmitted his voice.

Wang Teng smiled upon hearing this. He looked into the distance, where ferocious beasts were rampaging, and the nearby towns were suffering terribly. However, because their routes were blocked, they were unable to seek help from the outside world.

Thousands of miles apart, Wang Teng casually waved his hand, and a five-colored true phoenix soared from his fingertip, instantly crossing thousands of miles to descend upon that town. With a burst of true fire, it instantly slaughtered all the ferocious beasts around it.

"I feel that I am invincible among my peers of the same level. Now I really need to walk in the mortal world, to appreciate the various aspects of human life, to soothe my heart, and to prevent the expansion of my strength from bringing me other thoughts."

Wang Teng spoke calmly, his voice calm but his words carried a domineering air.

"Yes, yes, that's right. It's fine to be humble in front of outsiders, but we're family, so there's no need to be so humble in front of our own people!" Chaotic Ancient Emperor laughed heartily, quite satisfied with Wang Teng.

This satisfaction went beyond that of a master to his apprentice; it was the true satisfaction of a senior to his successor. In some ways, he regarded Wang Teng as his own descendant and nurtured him with great care, and Wang Teng certainly did not disappoint him.

Wang Teng has been his pride all along, the strongest of the younger generation, and even a casual Dao Palace deity like Wang Teng is something that others look up to.

He is an ultimate imperial weapon, but even from the perspective of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, Wang Teng's identity as his successor is perfect.

Wang Teng chuckled softly.

They continued on their journey, and Wang Teng encountered many beautiful sights along the way. He would stop at some special places, but he would not linger for too long.

They traveled on and off for several months before finally arriving in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.

At this moment, Ye Fan is still in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

The Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness is the stronghold of the Ji family and also the stronghold of the Yao Guang Holy Land. However, after Wang Teng arrived here, he did not visit anyone, and he did not reveal his identity along the way, just wanting to have some peace and quiet.

Otherwise, given his status, he would attract a lot of attention wherever he went, making it very difficult for him to find peace and quiet again.

Therefore, even after arriving in the southern part of the Eastern Wilderness, Wang Teng did not reveal his identity.

He arrived outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and from there went deeper, bypassing Ye Fan, and arrived at the deepest part of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Wang Teng stood atop the sacred mountain, several sacred mountains separating him from Ye Fan. He could see Ye Fan from afar, but Ye Fan couldn't see him at all.

Standing here, gazing into the abyss, Wang Teng's face was filled with respect and reverence.

"Grand-disciple Wang Teng has come to pay respects to his master!" Wang Teng's voice was not loud, but it could still reach deep into the desolate ancient forbidden land.

Despite it being broad daylight, a dazzling light rose into the sky from within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. The pillar of light was brilliant and bright, illuminating the void, reaching down to the abyss of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and up to the sky above it, as if it were piercing the starry sky. No one knew how many thousands of miles it was.

Even outside the Forbidden Land of Desolation, as long as you look towards the Forbidden Land of Desolation, you can see that dazzling light.

The powerful figures outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land were terrified by this scene, thinking that something earth-shattering was about to happen inside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. They hurriedly went back to report to their elders!

Not to mention, on the sacred mountain not far away, there was a young man cultivating.

Ye Fan was in the midst of arduous cultivation when he was suddenly illuminated by a dazzling light. He opened his eyes and glanced at it, only to feel his vision go black and he almost fainted.

"How is this possible? My luck can't be that bad!" Ye Fan felt his scalp tingle.

For a moment, he even felt as if everything was directed at him!
He had just left the Northern Region when an ancient sage appeared there, and one of his friends was even on good terms with him. If he chose to stay there, he might be able to meet the ancient sage directly and receive some guidance from him.

Then, after much difficulty, I finally arrived in the Southern Region and, after many hardships, reached the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. I originally planned to use the divine medicines on the sacred mountain of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to prolong my life.

As a result, he had only found two of the sacred medicines when he witnessed such a huge change in the desolate forbidden land!

That dazzling light almost spanned the entire sky!

Without even thinking about it, one knows that some kind of strange change must have occurred in the desolate forbidden land!

"Is there enough time to escape?" Ye Fan's mind trembled.

He looked up at the pillar of light so close to him. Faced with such a powerful presence, he trembled, and even his breath seemed to freeze.

If he were given another chance, he definitely wouldn't come here to join the fun again.

But now it seems too late to say anything!

In the very center of the desolate forbidden land, Wang Teng was intently watching Ye Fan's changing expression. He witnessed Ye Fan go from being calm to panicking, but he himself maintained a faint smile on his face.

"Interesting, this little guy is also destined to be in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land." The Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon transmitted its voice, as this was not the first time it had seen Ye Fan in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

However, he never said anything, because the Ruthless Great Emperor and another Ancient Holy Body were once siblings. Now, the Empress is likely allowing this Ancient Holy Body to enter the Holy Land to pick holy medicine time and time again because of his former brother.

“Yes.” Wang Teng chuckled.

With a sudden thought, he summoned several more wild slaves from the depths of the desolate forbidden land.

These slaves had already lost consciousness and were completely reduced to slaves, with almost no chance of regaining consciousness. If they wanted to regain consciousness, they would be reduced to ashes in the next moment.

But in Wang Teng's view, none of these were problems.

He possesses a quasi-immortal artifact from the lineage of the Ruthless Great Emperor; the bronze ring represents the highest level of authority in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land besides that of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Holding the bronze ring, Wang Teng was essentially the second master in the desolate ancient forbidden land, the young master that Yu Sheng spoke of.

With Wang Teng's intervention, the bronze ring, and a little help from his master, restoring some consciousness to the slaves was naturally a piece of cake.

Although it was impossible to restore them to their peak consciousness all at once, it was already quite good that they could do this much. The slaves were very satisfied and full of gratitude towards Wang Teng.

After Wang Teng summoned a slave, he conveyed a few words to him. Although the slave didn't understand, he still nodded.

And so, on another sacred mountain, Ye Fan witnessed a scene that he would never forget!
A burly, powerful figure emerged from within the pillar of light!
The opponent, wielding a broadsword larger than a door, looked down from above and inhaled a deep breath, drawing in all the essence of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of miles.

In Ye Fan's view, even the strongest person he had ever met was not worthy of being in front of this burly man.

Ye Fan almost completely submerged himself in the sacred pool, trying to minimize his presence in this way.

Even though in his mind these sacred pools were Duan De's bathwater, he didn't have time to be disgusted at the moment; surviving was the most important thing.

Even so, the burly man slowly turned his head to look at him.

It was as if two celestial swords had cleaved through the void. In just an instant, Ye Fan felt a sharp pain in his body, as if he had been pierced by millions of tiny swords.

In an instant, his vital energy and blood were completely concentrated, and his divine sense seemed to be frozen. Under the gaze of that supreme expert, he couldn't even muster any thoughts.

At this moment, Ye Fan felt utterly hopeless. He even thought that the supreme expert would rush over and kill him in the next moment.

However, after waiting for a long time, Ye Fan did not see his end. He mustered his courage, raised his head and looked around, only to find that the figure had disappeared and was no longer in the pillar of light.

Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he felt he was only a hair's breadth away from death.

If a powerhouse of that level wanted to attack him, Ye Fan felt that the opponent wouldn't even need to lift a finger; a single glance would be enough to end him.

Fortunately, the other party left.

Ye Fan carefully left the Sacred Pool, wanting to leave quietly.

However, just as he turned around, he bumped into a burly figure and stumbled backward.

"Hehe..." Looking at the figure falling in the distance, the burly man opened his mouth and revealed a forced, insincere smile.

Ye Fan felt a chill run down his spine, his hair stood on end, his heart pounded, and he fainted as everything went black.

"They're easily frightened," commented the ancient imperial soldiers in the distance, observing the scene.

"After all, we broke into someone else's home and got caught red-handed by their powerful members," Wang Teng said with a chuckle.

Of course, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon wasn't actually frightened; it's just that Wang Teng didn't say anything.

He still remembered how terrified the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon was when it first came to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Back then, when facing the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon was even trembling.

These words certainly cannot be spoken in front of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon, nor can they be read by the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon.

However, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon was, after all, an ultimate imperial weapon, and having spent so long in Wang Teng's sea of ​​suffering, it had developed a high degree of synergy with Wang Teng's beliefs.

"I feel like you're talking about me again..." Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon muttered to himself.

"No, no!" Wang Teng immediately shook his head in denial.

"I'm going down to see my grandmaster. Senior, would you like to come with me?" Wang Teng asked.

The beam of light has been shining for a while now, and it would be disrespectful if it didn't go down soon.

"Alright, alright, I'll go check on that little guy. You can go now." The Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon immediately refused, then flew out of Wang Teng's Sea of ​​Bitterness and headed towards another sacred mountain without looking back to check on Ye Fan's situation.

Wang Teng couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Sure enough, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon was still as afraid of the Ruthless Great Emperor as ever.

However, the more the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon behaved in this way, the more moved Wang Teng became, because when he first arrived at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and attracted the attention of the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon jumped out without hesitation and explained its identity to the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Wang Teng took a deep breath, jumped into the pillar of light, and followed it down to the abyss at the very center of the desolate forbidden land.

Each time Wang Teng jumped down, he didn't feel how deep the abyss was, because each time the pillar of light would directly guide him to the deepest part of the abyss.

The sun has set in this place, but sunlight still shines through.

Because dozens of chains, each made of immortal gold and shimmering with corresponding light, were scattered on the surrounding stone walls, reflecting a dazzling array of colors in the deepest part of the ancient holy land abyss.

At the very center of the abyss, there was a broken five-colored altar. Ye Tiandi's means of transportation to Beidou—the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin—was lying beside the five-colored altar.

At the very center of the five-colored altar, a woman dressed in white sat calmly cross-legged, her body motionless, as if she had been sitting there since time immemorial.

Even though it wasn't their first meeting, Wang Teng was still deeply amazed when he saw the woman in white again.

Even though the other party wore a bronze mask that resembled both crying and laughing, making it impossible to see their face clearly, it was not difficult to tell from their ethereal and otherworldly temperament and graceful figure that they were absolutely stunningly beautiful. Once their true face was revealed, the whole world would probably go crazy for them.

However, Wang Teng dared not be disrespectful in his heart. He came to the five-colored altar and bowed respectfully, "Grandmaster, your grand-disciple has returned."

On the five-colored altar, that seemingly unchanging figure finally moved!
