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

Chapter 430 Negotiation Stalemate, the Steadfast Human Saint

Others are unaware of this.

Wang Teng was still in the Holy City and unaware of what the Black Emperor and Duan De had done, but the fact that he couldn't find these people meant that they were definitely not up to any good.

After all, Wang Teng had previously seen Black Emperor and Duan De acting suspiciously and talking about something, and Ye Fan had also had a private conversation with Black Emperor before the two men and the dog disappeared.

However, Wang Teng was not worried because although these guys were unreliable, they all had extraordinary backgrounds. One was the protagonist of destiny, and the other two, although supporting characters, spanned the trilogy and could be considered very important supporting characters of destiny.

If something happens to these three guys, then Wang Teng can start thinking about making a desperate gamble.

What Wang Teng is currently concerned about is the conversation between those human powerhouses and the ancient saints in the Yaochi Holy Land.

Initially, only one Ancient Saint from the Forbidden Zone of Life came to Yaochi Holy Land to discuss matters concerning the Ancient Clan's revival with the human race's powerful figures. However, after several near-battles, the Forbidden Zone of Life sent out new powerful figures, and several Great Saints personally visited Yaochi Holy Land. One of them even brought an Ancient Emperor's Weapon, displaying a tough attitude.

For the past few days, dark clouds have been swirling over the Yaochi Sacred Land, almost obscuring the entire sky, suggesting an impending storm.

Many of the human saints who originally participated in the Yaochi Holy Land have already left and did not stay in the Yaochi Holy Land for long, because no one knows when a saint-level war will occur, and if they are affected by such a war, the consequences will be very serious.

Above the sacred land of Yaochi, the Western Emperor Tower radiated green light, suppressing the void. Since it was initially activated a few days ago, it has never been dormant and has been constantly reviving, intimidating the ancient races who came to discuss matters.

Although the Great Sage of the Crane is a Great Sage of the Demon Race, he once followed the Great Emperor of the Human Race, and he is Wang Teng's protector. Therefore, he stands here representing the interests of both the Human Race and the Demon Race, and even the ancient races cannot find any reason to accept this.

However, the ancient tribes were clearly not to be underestimated either. A Great Sage arrived with an ancient imperial army of mysterious origin, and although they did not confront each other directly, they used this method to show that they were not threatened.

Tensions instantly rose at the Yaochi Holy Land, as if a Great Sage wielding an ultimate imperial weapon would erupt into the fiercest conflict at any moment.

Almost all the major powers in the entire Northern Region, and even the Eastern Wilderness and the entire Big Dipper, are looking towards the direction of the Yaochi Holy Land, waiting for an initial outcome there.

Everyone knows that it won't be easy to have a complete discussion on this matter, so they are just hoping that there will be an initial result so that they can be mentally prepared before discussing other more details.

Because even now, there are still fluctuations in the body caused by the collision between the Supreme Emperor Weapon and the Ancient Emperor Weapon from time to time.

However, neither the Great Sage of the Crane nor the Great Sage of the Ancient Clan in the shadows spread the power caused by the collision of the two divine weapons. Instead, they guided that power to rush into the sky, bursting into one brilliant light after another in the night sky—a scene of distant stars being shattered, which had not happened for many years. Now it appeared again, making countless powerful people marvel.

"The Great Sages are testing each other with their supreme imperial weapons! This hasn't happened in so long, but it's happening again now. Could it be that the legendary Golden Age is truly about to begin?"

The ancient emperors and gods spoke from within the king's sea of ​​suffering.

He knew everything that was happening in the outside world, but that was precisely why he was surprised.

When he first witnessed Wang Teng's almost heaven-defying talent, he felt that Wang Teng was extraordinary. At that time, he felt that Wang Teng was likely to be the main figure to start the Golden Age, and that the Golden Age should also start in this life.

Even now, with the ancient races yet to recover, some Great Saints are already testing each other with their Supreme Emperor Weapons. The Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon Gods are even more certain that the Golden Age will truly begin in this era!
"That should be true!" Wang Teng nodded as well.

Although he had read "Covering the Sky" and knew the general direction of the story, the sight of a Great Sage wielding an ultimate imperial weapon and an ancient imperial weapon testing each other here was truly a scene never before seen in the original work!

Looking at the shattered stars beyond the realm, Wang Teng's heart was filled with surprise and anticipation.

He wondered when he would be able to wield an ultimate imperial weapon like these powerful figures and casually cleave through a star.

“It seems that negotiations will not be so easy,” the Holy Prince said.

He was unaware that an ultimate imperial weapon was secretly communicating with Wang Teng in Wang Teng's sea of ​​suffering, but seeing the scene of the ultimate imperial weapon confronting the ancient imperial weapon, and seeing the stars destroyed by the sharp edge, he realized that this matter was not so easy to resolve!
“Yes, both sides are demonstrating their strength in an attempt to gain the upper hand in the negotiations. If they don’t have enough power to end this, the negotiations will likely continue for a long time.” Wang Teng nodded.

It seems there are about to be new changes.

Originally, the Qishi Mansion was scheduled to open after the Peach Banquet at Yaochi Holy Land. However, now that the ancient race is about to revive, a Great Sage of the ancient race is in Yaochi Holy Land discussing with human powerhouses how the human race and the ancient race should coexist after the revival.

Before this matter is initially settled or comes to a close, Qishi Mansion should not open, and even if it does, it is unlikely to attract many people.

After all, people are more concerned about the impact of the ancient clans' revival than the Qishi Mansion, because these impacts can affect them immediately.

Sure enough, while everyone was focused on the situation with the teeth, another six or seven days passed and there was still no news. On the contrary, a powerful figure from the Knight's Mansion entered the Yaochi Holy Land, and an Ancient Saint from the Ancient Clan also joined the Yaochi Holy Land.

Although outsiders did not know exactly what happened inside the Yaochi Holy Land, the ancient saintly aura that occasionally surged forth and the tense atmosphere still sent chills down the spines of those who were paying attention to the Yaochi Holy Land.

Occasionally, the power unleashed when supreme imperial weapons and ancient imperial weapons tested each other could shatter stars. Large meteors carrying flames rushed towards the ground of the Eastern Wilderness, turning into dust in mid-air or crashing heavily onto the land of the Eastern Wilderness, creating huge craters.

At this moment, the entire Eastern Wilderness was filled with unease.

They were the closest to the Yaochi Holy Land. If a holy war broke out within the Yaochi Holy Land, or if the probing between the Supreme Emperor Weapon and the Ancient Emperor Weapon went unchecked, the Eastern Wilderness would be the first to be affected. Inside the Yaochi Holy Land, the atmosphere was indeed tense.

At this point, the human race only has three ancient saints present. One is the white-robed god-king of the Jiang family, another is an ancient saint from the Qishi Mansion, and the third is the feather saint from the Supreme Holy Land. The strongest of the three is only a saint king, and they are still a long way from becoming a great saint.

The powerful figures sent by the ancient race were all Great Saints. Just by standing there, their aura was enough to overwhelm the three ancient saints of the human race.

Even so, the three human saints did not back down when facing these ancient great saints from the forbidden zone of life.

"Your demands are excessive. Although millions of years have passed, don't forget that this land once belonged to the ancient race! We only voluntarily sealed ourselves into slumber, not because we were defeated and forced into slumber by you humans! You have never defeated us, so how dare we put ourselves in the position of the victors and make demands of us!"

A great sage from an ancient clan with silver wings spoke. He looked handsome and refined, like a young man who had just left his sect to gain experience, but his aura was exceptionally powerful, capable of suppressing the auras of the three people opposite him all by himself.

Even so, the three human saints opposite him did not retreat.

"As you said, it was your ancient race that voluntarily sealed itself off and went into slumber. Over the years, the footprints of the human race have spread throughout the entire star continent. We are already being quite generous by being willing to give up some of our space for you to dispose of as you see fit. Put yourself in our shoes. If our human race had voluntarily sealed itself off and disappeared from this star continent for millions of years, while your ancient race's footprints spread throughout the entire star continent, freely multiplying there, would you have agreed when we reclaimed our former space upon our awakening?"

The white-robed god-king from the Jiang family spoke calmly.

Facing the ancient sage who was far more powerful than himself, he did not hesitate to express his thoughts.

"Fellow Daoist, you must have misunderstood. All we want is the territory that once belonged to us. We have no intention of encroaching on the land that your human race once set foot on, but it is not unreasonable for us to want back what belongs to us, is it?"

Another ancient sage spoke, his head adorned with a bone crown, as if he were born with a golden crown on his head. Every move he made exuded an aura of dominance, making him seem like a born king, compelling people to kneel in submission.

"If it's just a matter of taking back a portion of your territory, we certainly won't have much of an objection. But if you want to take back all of your territory, that's definitely impossible! Do you think we don't know that the territory of each royal family is vast? If we consider your territory at its peak, even the ancient aristocratic families and holy lands are probably within your territory. Are we supposed to hand over the ancient aristocratic families and holy lands of the human race to you to deal with? Our Supreme Holy Land is also within the territory of one of your ancient royal families. Do you think that royal family wants to deal with our Supreme Holy Land?"

The Feather Saint from the Supreme Holy Land spoke calmly, but everyone could hear the killing intent in his words.

This is also what troubles those ancient great saints the most.

"Since you have joined the so-called Supreme Hall, which, according to your words, has been passed down through countless eras and even some of our ancient emperors were once members of your Supreme Hall, then logically your Supreme Hall should be absolutely neutral. So why are you speaking up for the human race now?"

Another ancient sage spoke up.

Compared to the unyielding human saint, this saint king who claimed to come from the Supreme Hall was the one who gave them the most headaches.

Logically speaking, this guy should have maintained an absolutely neutral stance, but until now he has been speaking up for the human race, and his attitude is exceptionally tough, almost not allowing them to refute him.

Even the Great Saints of the Ancient Clan were somewhat wary when facing this guy.

After all, there was a human Great Sage who had been suppressed in the Supreme Hall and had become their Supreme Hall's gatekeeper, so anyone could go up and touch him.

"As a human, is there a problem with me speaking up for the human race? All the ancient race members in the Supreme Hall have perished. Now, only humans remain in the Supreme Hall. If you have any objections, you can go to the Supreme Holy Land and find our Holy Son to report my behavior. If the Holy Son approves of your report, he will naturally take you to see the Hall Master of our Supreme Hall. You will then be able to see how the Hall Master deals with me."

Yu Sheng chuckled, showing no sign of backing down in the face of the questioning from the ancient clan's Great Saint.

The ancient god who had just spoken couldn't help but frown.

This wasn't the first time they had reminded this Saint King from the Supreme Hall, but his attitude remained unyielding, firmly sticking to his position, leaving them feeling helpless while also deeply wary.

They couldn't guess the strength of the Supreme Hall at all. They could only speculate based on previous rumors and the Great Sage suppressed in front of the Supreme Hall. The Supreme Hall's strength was extraordinary and could pose a great threat to even a Great Sage.

In contrast, the human saint from Qishi Mansion was undoubtedly much more courteous. At least in the eyes of the ancient saints from the forbidden zones of life, his tone and attitude during the negotiations showed that he was genuinely interested in peace talks and was willing to listen to their thoughts and opinions.

Unlike the saints of that ancient family and the saint king of the Supreme Hall, they didn't give them a chance to speak at all, their attitude was extremely tough, as if they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

They were clearly weaker, but they acted as if they didn't care about their lives.

The snow-white crane spreading its wings above the sacred land of Yaochi filled the eyes of the ancient saints below with apprehension.

The opponent controls the Immortal Tear Green Gold Pagoda, the ultimate imperial weapon of the Yaochi Holy Land. If they were to unleash their full power, even if they had ancient clan Great Saints wielding ancient imperial weapons to fight against the opponent, all of them would be wiped out.

Therefore, these ancient clans' great saints felt particularly troubled when facing those two saints and saint kings from the human race.

The other party's attitude was too tough, and coupled with the fact that the human race controlled several supreme imperial weapons, they were hesitant to act rashly.

“I think that continuing to talk like this is not a solution. You are not very sincere. Even if we keep going on like this for countless years, we probably won’t get the result we want. Instead of this, why don’t you call your human race’s quasi-emperor here? Our ancient race will also send a stronger person to have further negotiations with you.”
