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

Chapter 349 Justice prevails! Arrival in Zhongzhou!
After several years, Wang Chong has grown to be four or five years old.

Although he is only four or five years old, his cultivation has already reached the peak of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and he is only one step away from the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

This speed is far faster than that of the geniuses outside.

Even Wang Teng back then didn't have this kind of speed.

Wang Teng had been laying a solid foundation, and now he is much stronger than others in all aspects.

Wang Chong clearly had some good fortune. Although he cultivated so quickly, his foundation was not too frivolous and was still relatively stable.

As for Wang Teng, his foundation is unmatched by ordinary people.

Take Ye Fan's previous tribulation as an example. If Wang Teng had experienced that tribulation, even if the will of heaven and earth had punished him, it would not have shaken Wang Teng's foundation, nor would it have left any so-called Dao scars on Wang Teng's foundation.

Because Wang Teng had pushed everything to its extreme and perfect, his foundation was like an extremely regular circle, impossible to penetrate. Even the power of heaven and earth could not leave any mark on this circle.

As for Wang Chong, although his cultivation level improved rapidly, his foundation was definitely not as solid as Wang Teng's, and even compared with the geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness, he was still slightly inferior.

"Your strength has improved quite a bit, but your foundation isn't solid enough," Wang Teng said, looking at Wang Chong.

Wang Chong had a smile on his face, looking forward to his brother's return, when he heard his brother's reminder as soon as he arrived.

“But I’ve already reached this level…” Wang Chong muttered under his breath, somewhat unhappy.

"Your cultivation level is quite good, but there are still some gaps in other aspects. Pay more attention to your foundation and don't pursue cultivation level too much. Throughout history, there have been many cultivators who have been defeated by those with lower cultivation levels. Try not to become one of them."

Wang Teng rubbed Wang Chong's head, reminding him.

Wang Chengkun chimed in, "I had already reminded Chong'er before, but at the time he was too focused on improving his cultivation and wanted to catch up with you as soon as possible. He was constantly working hard to improve his realm and thus neglected these things."

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng glanced at Wang Chong again, and Wang Chong lowered his head in embarrassment, seemingly afraid that Wang Teng would scold him.

In his heart, Wang Teng has always been the most powerful being, and he has always wanted to catch up with his brother, so he has been working hard to improve his cultivation level, thus neglecting some things.

"Are you so eager to catch up with me?" Wang Teng asked.

"Yes!" Wang Chong nodded seriously.

“To catch up with me, it’s not enough to just match my cultivation level. You’re currently at the peak of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, right? But do you think you can defeat other cultivators at the same level?” Wang Teng asked.

“Why not? I think I’m pretty awesome now!” Wang Chong said confidently.

“How about this, I’ll suppress my cultivation level to the initial stage of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and you can attack me with all your might, so you can directly experience that the advantage brought by cultivation level is not the only deciding factor,” Wang Teng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura began to decline, falling from the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm all the way down to the first level of the Dao Palace Realm.

Seeing his brother suppressing his cultivation, Wang Chong kept saying no, but his eyes lit up with anticipation.

"Stop hiding it. Since you have the will to fight, then unleash it with all your might!" Wang Teng chuckled.

My younger brother is quite interesting too.

While reviewing the files of the Gongdaotang Public Security Bureau, Wang Teng saw his younger brother's name in a significant portion of the files.

However, it wasn't because his younger brother was misbehaving, but because under Wang Teng's tutelage, Wang Chong was too eager to help others. He often used his harmless appearance as a four or five-year-old to "coax" the bandits, who then sold him into their camp. After infiltrating their stronghold, he would reveal his peak cultivation at the Dao Palace Secret Realm and work with the Wang family's cultivators to annihilate a significant number of the bandits.

That's why Wang Chong was so confident, feeling that his foundation was solid.

“Alright! Then I’ll ask you for your guidance, brother!” Wang Chong said confidently.

He was full of vigor and unleashed his full power by using some kind of ancient scripture.

Upon seeing this, Wang Teng nodded slightly.

“As expected, you have quite a bit of luck. No wonder you are so courageous,” Wang Teng said.

How could he not recognize the ancient scripture that Wang Chong used? He not only recognized it, but he could even use it!
"Brother, be careful! Although you are the person I admire most, I will not hold back!" Wang Chong shouted, his palm making a light stroke, and a vast aura appeared, as if an ancient continent had descended.

The powerful aura even made Wang Chengkun nod slightly.

"Without a solid foundation, the techniques you unleash may seem powerful, but they are nothing but castles in the air!" Wang Teng said calmly.

He stretched out a hand and lightly tapped the void, transforming it into a roaring tiger, also carrying an aura of vastness and antiquity, tearing through the void and charging towards Wang Chong.

In just a moment, Wang Chong was stunned.

"Brother, how come you also know how to..." Wang Chong asked in shock.

He never imagined that his brother would also know this trick.

Isn't this the legacy of the ancient sages?
He had gone through so much trouble to get it, how come his own brother could get it too?

Moreover, they found the weakness in his move as soon as they made their move.

Despite having only just entered the Dao Palace Secret Realm, he unleashed a power far greater than his own!
"What? Are you shocked?" Wang Teng asked calmly.

He made his move again, and a wild continent took shape!
It was the same move that Wang Chong had just used, but when Wang Teng used it, its power was more than twice as strong as when Wang Chong used it!

Upon seeing this attack, Wang Chong's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Impossible! Even if you possess the inheritance of this ancient sage, it's impossible for you to unleash such powerful force!" Wang Chong exclaimed in shock.

He was cultivating the legacy of this ancient sage, so he naturally knew how powerful his cultivation in the Dao Palace Secret Realm could be.

This was something he used to be proud of, but now his brother, with a cultivation level several minor realms lower than his, has unleashed a power that is one or two times stronger than his. How could he possibly accept this?

"What? You seem surprised?" Wang Teng chuckled.

“Your foundation may seem decent to ordinary people, but it’s too weak in my eyes!” Wang Teng said.

He tore through Wang Chong's defenses and pointed a finger at Wang Chong's brow.

Wang Chong was stunned and stood frozen in place for a moment.

He felt as if his entire body was being violently struck by a force.

Even his seemingly indestructible foundation was violently impacted, shaking violently and almost collapsing.

This feeling filled Wang Chong with shock and lingering fear; in his mind, it was as if his very foundation had been broken.

If a cultivator's foundation is broken, there's no need to say more.

Wang Chong stood still, not moving for a long time. His proud cultivation level and combat strength were actually so weak in his brother's eyes!

Even when his brother fought him, he didn't use his full strength. He only suppressed his cultivation to the level of someone who had just entered the Dao Palace Secret Realm, which was a few minor realms lower than him. Yet, he was still able to suppress him so violently, giving him no chance to resist.

It's easy to imagine that if a fight really broke out, he would be ruthlessly and instantly suppressed by his brother.

"Is my foundation really that bad...?" After a long while, Wang Chong finally raised his head, his eyes filled with self-doubt and frustration.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't frustrated when his most prized possession was directly shattered by his own brother.

“No, you’ve already done very well, but you’re my younger brother, so I have higher expectations for you!” Wang Teng said, reaching out to rub Wang Chong’s head.

“If you want to go further, you can stop now. Compared to improving your realm, it’s more important to solidify your foundation first,” Wang Teng said, reminding Wang Chong.

Wang Chong nodded upon hearing this.

"You are still young, and it's quite impressive that you've come this far. But you need to mature and not become complacent because of your achievements and the praise of others, thus neglecting the most crucial things."

Wang Teng continued speaking, instructing Wang Chong.

In other words, Wang Chong in this life is much better than in the previous life, which is why Wang Teng has the patience to guide him slowly.

If Wang Chong remained as arrogant and disdainful as in the original story, Wang Teng wouldn't have the patience to guide him through his growth step by step. "I understand! Thank you for reminding me, brother." Wang Chong took a deep breath and said earnestly.

"I hope you remember your words." Wang Teng nodded.

Over the next few days, he stayed at the Wang family's residence, partly to guide Wang Chong and the twelve members of the Wang family, as well as Yu'er, in their cultivation, and partly to see if the elders were competent to perform the duties of the Gongdao Hall.

In addition, as the most powerful member of the younger generation of the Wang family, Wang Teng also has to face visits from the younger generation of the Wang family almost every day.

All the younger generation of cultivators in the Wang family were filled with curiosity about Wang Teng. After they learned that Wang Teng had returned, people came to look for him and pay homage to him almost every day.

In their hearts, Wang Teng was a god-like figure, so it was only natural for them to come and worship the deity.

Wang Teng did not shut himself off from visitors. On the contrary, he spent some time giving lectures at the Wang family's martial arts arena, explaining the key and difficult points of the Wang family's inheritance to the younger generation of cultivators.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Teng's prestige within the Wang family grew ever higher.

Many young people regard Wang Teng as a god, and even the older generation of cultivators in the Wang family speak highly of him.

Originally, when Wang Teng was mentioned, people could only think of him as the person who carried out reforms for the Wang family and used strong methods to directly suppress all "dissidents" in the Wang family.

Wang Teng's decisive actions even attracted jealousy and resentment from some people. Some people slandered Wang Teng behind his back, but dared not show any dissatisfaction on the surface.

Nowadays, seeing Wang Teng preaching to the younger generation of the Wang family at the Wang family's martial arts training ground, their descendants and even themselves have benefited greatly, and their attitude towards Wang Teng has changed somewhat.

Wang Teng stayed at the Wang family's house for a month.

He has now reached the peak of the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and is only one step away from the fourth level. If he doesn't go to the Central Plains soon, he will have to break through in the Northern Plains.

He needs something in Zhongzhou, so he still has to go there once.

Before leaving, Wang Teng found Wang Chong and reminded him again to slow down and not rush to break through his cultivation level. He should slow down and first lay a solid foundation so that he could always be stronger than others in subsequent breakthroughs.

Then Wang Teng summoned the thirteen members of the Gongdao Hall again, passed on another portion of the inheritance, and reminded them that they could go out and gain experience.

"When traveling, always remember that staying alive is the most important thing," Wang Teng reminded everyone.

"Yes! We will remember your teachings, Young Master!" The group's faces were filled with anticipation.

This is their first time leaving the Wang family to experience the outside world, and everyone is filled with longing and curiosity about everything outside.

Compared to the frozen landscape of the Northern Plains, they were filled with curiosity about the scenery of the legendary Eastern Wilderness and Central Plains.

"Also, if Yu'er goes out to gain experience, let her take the surname Wang," Wang Teng said, looking at the maid beside him.

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, Yu'er's face broke into a bright smile.

Being a slave in someone else's household, she naturally did not have the right to a surname. Although she was the head of the Gongdao Hall and everyone else had to respectfully address her as Yu'er or Miss Yu'er, no one still treated her as Wang Yu'er.

Now that Wang Teng has spoken, she has finally become a true member of the Wang family, rather than just a maid.

"Thank you, young master!" Yu'er said excitedly. This feeling of being recognized was something she had never experienced before. In the past, most people were only wary of her relationship with Wang Teng and her position in charge of the Justice Hall. They did not have much recognition of her and still regarded her as a servant of the Wang family.

But nowadays, when Young Master Wang Teng speaks, it's more effective than the words of everyone else in the Wang family.

"The journey ahead is fraught with danger, and there are many talented individuals from the outside world. We must not let our guard down. There is nothing shameful about admitting defeat. As long as we survive, we will have a chance to catch up in the future. But if we perish, then there will truly be no chance at all."

Before parting, Wang Teng was still a little worried and gave the group of people in front of him another serious warning.

His biggest worry was that these people were too focused on protecting the reputation of the Wang family and themselves, and that they would not admit defeat even when they were suppressed by powerful enemies, ultimately losing their lives in vain.

That's why he repeatedly and earnestly advised these people.

"I never expected you to see things so clearly, far better than those so-called geniuses outside," the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon God transmitted to Wang Teng in his Sea of ​​Bitterness.

"It's all thanks to your guidance, senior. You often use the story of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor to teach me, and I have learned a lot from it." Wang Teng responded to the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapon god in his heart.

The short sentence made Luan Gu Di Bing deeply sigh, "Yes, if Luan Gu hadn't acted this way back then, he might have been beaten to death long ago."

Wang Teng chuckled upon hearing this; he knew the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon would make such a remark here.

He looked at the people in front of him; each of them was one of the people he trusted most in the Wang family.

No matter how many talented individuals Wang Teng has won over and who are willing to follow him, the people from the Wang family are always different. They are the people Wang Teng initially chose, the core of his team, and those who have passed the test of the Hall of Justice. They are trustworthy and reliable, so naturally he doesn't want anything to happen to them.

"Don't worry, young master! We will definitely keep your teachings in mind!" Feeling Wang Teng's care and concern, the twelve members of the Wang family and Yu'er nodded solemnly.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Wang family, Wang Teng watched as the thirteen people boarded the domain gate and left the Northern Plains.

The route they chose for their travels was the same as the route Wang Teng had chosen: first to the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, then heading north, and finally returning to the Northern Plains.

After watching the group leave, Wang Teng turned to look at the members of the Wang family.

"During my absence, everyone should cultivate diligently, and the Gongdao Hall should also operate diligently, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Wang family."

Wang Teng spoke, looking at the people in front of him.

The younger generation of the Wang family, whether they were originally honest and dutiful disciples or spoiled brats, now look at Wang Teng with nothing but admiration.

"We will heed your teachings, Young Master!" a group of people said in loud voices.

Looking at this group of people, Wang Teng smiled.

These are truly vibrant young people; their eyes are filled with anticipation for the future.

Isn't he infinitely more lovable than those spoiled brats from before?
After stepping through the domain gate, the scene before Wang Teng's eyes slowly dissipated.

A spatial passage appeared and took shape before Wang Teng, who stepped into it and headed towards Zhongzhou.

"The Hundred Schools of Thought! The Immortal Dynasty! I'm here!" Wang Teng's heart was filled with anticipation.

Compared to the Eastern Wilderness, the Central Plains can be described as a land of outstanding people and abundant resources.

In the end, whether it's the Eastern Southern Ridge, the Northern Plains, or the Western Desert, all the outstanding talents will eventually come to the Central Plains.

Wang Teng is simply here first.

"I wonder where Brother Xia Yiming is right now..."

During the transmission, Wang Teng fell into deep thought.

Teleportation across a region takes a little longer. When the teleportation ended, Wang Teng saw light again; he had arrived in Zhongzhou.

Standing at another dimensional gate, Wang Teng looked at everything before him.

The ancient architectural complex, the place full of cultural atmosphere, even outside the gates, students from various schools of thought were debating the classics.

Wang Teng smiled upon seeing this.

But soon, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"I almost forgot, there are many fellow Earthlings here who don't understand plagiarism. Otherwise, if I just randomly recited some poems, wouldn't I confuse this group of people?"

Wang Teng sighed softly, feeling somewhat regretful.

Just as Wang Teng was gazing into the distance and sighing, a slightly familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Why are you standing here? Is something wrong? If not, move aside!" A neutral voice came from behind him. Wang Teng turned around and saw that it was an old acquaintance.

"Why did you come to Zhongzhou?" Wang Teng asked, looking at the other person.

"It's you!" The figure opposite seemed equally surprised to see Wang Teng there.
