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

Chapter 404 Peerless Quasi-Emperor Gai Jiuyou!
Cover the Nine Netherworlds!
The moment Wang Teng saw the old man, he already understood his identity and background.

Although the other party hadn't spoken yet, as a long-time reader of "Covering the Sky," Wang Teng was still able to guess the other party's identity!
Moreover, even the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon deity within Wang Teng's body could recognize this person's identity at this moment!

The ancient imperial weapon deity took the initiative to appear and look at the powerful figure before him.

To encounter such a powerful being in this era was something even the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's weapons and gods had never imagined.

He originally thought that it was already remarkable that the Jiang family's God King could become an ancient sage-level existence in this era, but he never expected that there would be an existence in this era that surpasses the level of an ancient sage!
This was something he hadn't expected before, and it was completely unexpected!
A peerless quasi-emperor!

In this era, it was enough to awe all sides and make countless powerful people bow down!
However, even the ancient gods and deities had never heard of this powerful figure before, which could only mean one thing.

This powerful person is far too low-key!
It was so low-key that no one knew it had become a quasi-imperial capital in this era.

"As expected! There is a supreme expert beside Wang Teng!" The old man couldn't help but take a deep breath and say when he saw the battle axe floating beside Wang Teng.

As a quasi-emperor who had just entered the world, how could he not see the level of the powerful figure before him?
The peerless expert before us is the legendary Supreme Emperor Weapon, and it is also a Supreme Emperor Weapon with its own consciousness, capable of being fully revived at any time!
Therefore, when Wang Teng encountered a crisis during the Heavenly Tribulation last time, he did not go all out. At the very least, there was an unparalleled expert by his side who no one else had ever thought of before!
If this person were to go all out, not only would a mere Great Sage be killed, but even a potential Quasi-Emperor secretly observing would be slain by this being beside Wang Teng!

"To have reached this point in this era, you are truly unprecedented! It's just a pity that you are too close to the era of the Azure Emperor, and you still haven't been able to become an emperor. If you had been born ten thousand years earlier, and could have competed with the Azure Emperor on the same stage, the identity of the Great Emperor would probably be uncertain." The Chaotic Ancient Emperor God of War thought for a moment and then spoke.

From the age of this peerless quasi-emperor before them, the Chaotic Ancient Emperors and Gods could glean many things.

This includes the era in which the other party lived, and the oppression they suffered from the Green Emperor during that era.

To put it bluntly, the strength and talent of this little guy in front of me are absolutely not to be underestimated, as he is able to become a legendary quasi-emperor in this era. If he had been born tens of thousands of years earlier, he might have been able to compete with the Azure Emperor and even snatch the fortune to achieve enlightenment from him!

"Junior Gai Jiuyou greets Senior Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon!"

Gai Jiuyou took a deep breath and spoke.

Although he was a peerless quasi-emperor, only one step away from becoming the legendary ancient emperor, he still spoke with respect when facing this powerful being who could be seen as an extension of the life of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

The peerless quasi-emperor and the ancient emperor may seem to be only a small step apart, but in reality, the gap between them is huge.

Throughout history, countless powerful individuals have entered the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor and been called peerless Quasi-Emperors, but there are only a few dozen true ancient emperors!

This shows the difference between ancient emperors and peerless quasi-emperors.

Although he was confident that he could defeat the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon before him as a peerless quasi-emperor, he still maintained a humble attitude out of respect for his senior.

“Gai Jiuyou… a very good name. To become a peerless quasi-emperor in this era is quite impressive. If it were a different era, you might actually have become an ancient emperor.”

The ancient emperor and his divine beings nodded.

As an ultimate imperial weapon, his vision is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people.

Just now, he examined the little guy's physical condition and found that the other party was extremely powerful, once close to the ancient emperor.

If the Heavenly Heart Mark hadn't been occupied by the Azure Emperor and still bore the Qing Emperor's mark, making it impossible for other powerful figures to reclaim it in a short time, this little fellow might have truly become a legendary ancient emperor.

"Senior, you flatter me. My talent is limited, and it is already quite an achievement to have reached this point. On the contrary, young friend Wang Teng has achieved so much at such a young age. His future achievements are bound to be limitless, and he may even become a legendary ancient emperor."

Gai Jiuyou spoke humbly.

He had been somewhat surprised and skeptical of Wang Teng's abilities from the start.

The fact that such a powerful prodigy exists in this era suggests that the forces behind him must be extraordinary.

However, even he did not expect that the powerful figure behind Wang Teng was actually the legendary Supreme Emperor Weapon!

Moreover, it is an ultimate imperial weapon that possesses the divine power of an imperial weapon!
This means that the Supreme Emperor Weapon beside Wang Teng can be fully revived at any time and place. Even without the full power of others, it can unleash the Supreme Emperor Weapon's peak combat power and destroy everything around it!
“You are different. After all, I watched Wang Teng grow up. He has the inheritance of an ancient emperor, while you do not seem to have the aura of other ancient emperors. You must have reached this point through your own strength, right?” said the Chaotic Ancient Emperor God.

The little guy in front of him was indeed amazing; even he couldn't help but marvel at it.

However, compared to Wang Teng, this little guy is indeed still lacking.

However, it seems that the other party has not been exposed to the inheritance of the ancient emperors, and it is already very difficult to have reached this point.

At least among all the geniuses he had encountered, few could compare to the little guy in front of him.

If Wang Teng weren't so dazzling and brilliant, even the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon would probably think that this little guy was the most brilliant and brilliant genius of this era.

However, with Wang Teng ahead of them, the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon felt that no matter how brilliant a genius was, they could not compare to Wang Teng.

“I have been pondering why Wang Teng is so powerful, but now that I have met you, senior, many of my doubts have been resolved,” Gai Jiuyou said earnestly.

He had indeed been wondering why Wang Teng was so powerful. He knew that Wang Teng had obtained the inheritance of an ancient emperor, but even so, Wang Teng should not be so powerful. After all, there were many people throughout history who had obtained the inheritance of an ancient emperor, and the geniuses of those ancient families and holy lands were not as powerful as Wang Teng. It was not until he saw the ancient emperor weapon and the god that he realized why Wang Teng was so powerful.

For Wang Teng, it was not only that he had received the inheritance of an ancient emperor, but also that an ancient emperor was always by his side, resolving his doubts and guiding his cultivation.

Therefore, it's quite normal for Wang Teng to have achieved what he has today!

“Wang Teng… to be honest, I rarely mentor him. His current achievements are purely due to his own hard work,” said the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon Deity.

He was right. Ever since Wang Teng received the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, he had rarely guided Wang Teng in his cultivation.

To be precise, he provided almost no guidance to Wang Teng in his cultivation.

Most of the time, Wang Teng spent his time cultivating in the desolate and forbidden land, battling against ancient sages of the same realm to hone his combat intuition and instincts. It was through countless battles that Wang Teng achieved his current level of prowess.

The outside world only sees Wang Teng's current great achievements and his ability to suppress ancient sages within the same realm, but they do not know the hardships and trials Wang Teng went through to achieve such success.

"So it seems that young friend Wang Teng is indeed the legendary person with extraordinary talent." Gai Jiuyou nodded.

Although he did not renounce the world and did not participate in external affairs, he was fully aware of everything that happened in the outside world and knew everything about it.

He paid special attention to Wang Teng, a prodigy who ranks among the top in the younger generation, and followed almost everything Wang Teng went through.

Moreover, he knew about the frictions that his beloved disciple had experienced with Wang Teng. He had never spoken up before, mainly because he wanted to see if the younger generation could resolve these issues on their own. However, as Wang Teng became more and more outstanding, even he, a top-tier quasi-emperor, had to step in to investigate the powerful figure behind Wang Teng.

Only in this way could he determine which camp Wang Teng belonged to.

It seems that there is no problem with Wang Teng's affiliation with any particular faction.

As a descendant of an ancient emperor, and with an ultimate imperial weapon that can be fully revived at any time, Wang Teng's background is absolutely without question.

At least from the perspective of their respective factions, Wang Teng and the human race were not opposed, so Gai Jiuyou breathed a sigh of relief.

He was already satisfied enough that there was no need to urge the prodigy to give up.

"Junior Wang Teng greets Senior Gai Jiuyou." Wang Teng took a deep breath and respectfully addressed the seemingly frail old man before him.

If Wang Teng remembers correctly, in the original work, Gai Jiuyou sacrificed far too much for the human race, and in the end even dragged an ancient supreme being who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment to his death. Until his death, he still tried his best to end this painful dark turmoil for the human race.

In some respects, Gai Jiuyou and the Great Perfection Ancient Sacred Body are both powerful predecessors who care deeply about the human race, so it is perfectly reasonable to show them respect.

"A very good junior. It's not easy to get to this point. The Eastern Wilderness and even a wider region will be your stage in the future," Gai Jiuyou said with a slight nod.

Previously, he was wary of Wang Teng because he didn't know Wang Teng's background, but now that an ultimate imperial weapon has appeared, his impression of Wang Teng has improved a lot.

A little guy who can be recognized by the ultimate imperial weapon of the ancient emperor of the human race would never betray the human race.

Otherwise, the supreme imperial weapon left behind by the ancient emperors would not recognize such a little guy!

"Thank you for your praise, senior. I will certainly continue..."
"We will strive to create a safe haven for the people of the Eastern Wilderness and even the wider human race, protecting them from the ravages of darkness and turmoil, and allowing them to recuperate, thrive, and multiply freely," Wang Teng said with a smile.

Being praised by a supreme quasi-emperor who cared deeply for humanity made him feel that all his previous efforts had been worthwhile.

"Keep up the good work. The future of humanity and all living beings depends on the efforts of you young people," Xia Jiuyou said with a smile.

He reached out and patted Wang Teng on the shoulder, placing high hopes on him.

Xia Jiuyou, who was standing to the side, was somewhat dissatisfied with this scene, but he did not make a fuss and simply stood there quietly.

She dared to reveal her childlike nature in front of her protectors, but she would never dare to do so in front of her master.

Even though she was dissatisfied inside, she still tried her best to pretend to be a well-bred lady, and nodded slightly to Wang Teng with a smile.

Wang Teng also felt a bit strange looking at Xia Jiuyou.

In his memory and experience, Xia Jiuyou was a little devil who was fearless and dared not do anything. Even when facing Qi Hao, she dared to take direct action. After her identity was exposed, she wanted to fight Qi Hao to the death regardless of the consequences.

Wang Teng had known Xia Jiuyou for so long, but he had never seen Xia Jiuyou act so girlishly before.

Xia Jiuyou was very dissatisfied. If there were no one else around, she would have already attacked Wang Teng to suppress him. However, her master was beside her, and there was also a Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon. She forced herself to calm down, smiled and nodded to Wang Teng like a lady, and then listened attentively to her master's teachings.

"Regarding the so-called post-ancient era, I have many guesses and questions, and I would like to ask you, senior, for answers. I wonder if you have the time?" Gai Jiuyou asked.

As a so-called peerless quasi-emperor, there are still many things he doesn't understand and many things he can't comprehend.

Right now, there was someone in front of him who could rival the level of an ancient emperor. He didn't stand on ceremony and took the initiative to ask some questions that had been bothering him, hoping to get some answers and responses from this senior.

"Let's talk somewhere else," the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon God said, nodding.

He and the little guy in front of him are already the most powerful beings in the Big Dipper. If they were to preach and discuss here, it would bring about great celestial phenomena, which would affect far too many people.

For ancient sages, this might be a good thing, but for those whose cultivation is not at the level of ancient sages, these strange phenomena of heaven and earth will only hinder their continued growth and may plant a wrong seed in their minds and bodies.

So they needed to go to a secluded place where no one could find them, and respond to the little guy's question in the simplest language possible.

After much deliberation, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor God opened the domain gate and disappeared with Gai Jiuyou.

For a moment, only Wang Teng and Xia Jiuyou remained in the same spot.

Just a moment ago, Xia Jiuyou was smiling, looking every bit the lady.

But the next moment, Xia Jiuyou reverted to his lawless self, even looking at Wang Teng with eager anticipation.

P.S.: I drank too much and feel terrible. I'll correct the typos after I wake up...
