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

Chapter 435 A Feeling of Fear Upon Returning Home, Mars Slays the Demon
P.S.: I didn't use those two words because I was afraid they would be censored. The real place name would be censored, and the ball's name... I really don't know, hehehe.

On the ancient star Yinghuo, Wang Teng and his group made a brief stop.

They did not set off immediately, and in fact, no one urged them to.

The closer they get to home, the more timid they become. Normally, these words seem like just empty words, but now, as they actually see that blue planet, and their initial excitement cools down, they realize that after years of anticipation, they are now hesitant to move forward.

“We’ve been gone for so long, and I’m afraid everyone has already concluded that we’re dead. Our loved ones must have already experienced the grief, watching our clothes being stuffed into coffins and buried with the yellow earth…”

A girl spoke, her voice filled with sorrow.

Previously, they had always looked forward to returning to their homeland and embracing their former family once again.

But at this moment, as they gazed at that blue planet in the distance, they were filled with hesitation.

The return home of someone who had been presumed dead is as devastating to their parents as the loss of a child.

Moreover, how should they explain their experiences?
cross?

Stargazing travel?

This is just a plot from a storybook.

Even if they can demonstrate extraordinary power, it will still be a huge shock to their parents.

Moreover, these things are not suitable to be told to everyone.

Extraordinary powers are difficult to control, and the more people who know about them, the more likely unimaginable things are to happen.

They may be able to control themselves, but when faced with requests from relatives or pleas from family members, they sometimes cannot.

When supernatural powers are displayed to the public, they have already transcended their original social class. Even if they repeatedly promise not to use supernatural powers, in the eyes of others, they have become people of high status. Those who are close to them may become greedy and want to pursue a higher status. Even if they only have a slight blood relationship, they may use their names to seek improper benefits.

This contradicts their moral bottom line. They were carefully selected by Ye Fan, and their moral standards are very high. They are able to uphold their inner convictions. Ye Fan believes that after they return to Earth, they will not use their supernatural powers to cause widespread destruction. However, people's hearts are hard to control. Even if they can control them, can they bring themselves to punish their relatives and friends?
When they are close enough to their homeland, these questions surface. Some people think about these things, while others think about the impact their long absence and reappearance will have on their families. They hesitate and waver.

"How about we just take a look from afar..." a girl whispered.

She hesitated, worried that her return would bring unimaginable emotional shock to her parents, and also worried that her return would disrupt their peaceful life.

Her parents were honest and law-abiding people who had never experienced any major upheavals in their lives. Her return might affect their lives, so she hesitated and wavered.

Not only her, but everyone else was also hesitant at this moment.

"You've already come all this way, what are you still hesitating about? Are you all going to be cowards, just wanting to take a quick look from afar and then turn around and leave? What's the point of you coming back then?" Qi Hao chuckled, his words filled with disdain.

He found these people really interesting. Before they returned, they all longed to come back. When he found them and heard that they could return to their homeland, they were all filled with excitement and couldn't wait to go back. But now that their homeland was right in front of them, they hesitated and wavered. Some of them even wanted to take a look from afar.

“That’s just how people are,” Wang Teng said calmly.

"You can calm down here first. I've found something very interesting here," Wang Teng said.

He was naturally referring to the Great Thunder Temple and the Divine Crocodile.

The Divine Crocodile was originally sealed by Shakyamuni and imprisoned under the Great Thunderclap Temple. As time passed, the power of the seal gradually dissipated, and a group of the Divine Crocodile's descendants escaped the suppression. That group was the monster that attacked Ye Fan earlier.

Now that Wang Teng has arrived, he certainly won't do nothing.

"Something interesting?" Ye Fan asked.

He remained steadfast in his beliefs and did not wallow in self-pity.

He's back now, and he'll definitely see his parents no matter what.

In addition, he also prepared some items that could help his parents slow down the aging process.

Not only did he prepare it for himself, but he also secretly prepared a copy for each of his classmates. After returning to that blue planet, he would give those things to his former classmates and instruct them on how to use them.

"Is it one of those long, thin monsters that looks like a crocodile but has no legs?"

Ye Fan seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked.

Wang Teng nodded.

"Those things are monsters, we must be careful!" Ye Fan said instinctively.

But he quickly realized what was happening.

"No, we are already cultivators..."

They were once ordinary people who were targeted by a group of "demons." Many of their classmates died, but they also killed many small crocodiles with the help of those mysterious artifacts.

Looking back now, those little crocodiles were nothing special, at most equivalent to minor demons who had just entered the Sea of ​​Bitterness. If he encountered them again now, he could easily kill a large number of them with a wave of his hand!

"That guy down there is the Great Sage!"

Perhaps sensing that Ye Fan was getting a little arrogant, Qi Hao spoke calmly.

“But then again!” Ye Fan said without changing his expression, “It is precisely because we have cultivated that we should be filled with awe for all things. Let’s hurry up and go home first.”

"It's alright, there's a seal left by a powerful expert here, that guy can't get out," Wang Teng said.

"Of course! As cultivators, we must be brave enough to take on challenges when facing crises. Only in this way can we forge ahead!" Ye Fan remained unfazed.

"Can you guys check where those little guys are? I'm going to go chat with them," Ye Fan said.

In fact, there's no need to attract them at all.

The noise from the Immortal-Slaying Gourd falling, combined with the commotion caused by Ye Fan's classmates discussing things, had already attracted the attention of those little guys.

When wielding the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, Qi Hao deliberately restrained the power of the Supreme Emperor Weapon, only unleashing its pressure when launching an attack.

Otherwise, they would destroy countless star systems and crush countless stars along the way; the oppressive power of the Supreme Emperor Weapon is never just a joke.

All around, tiny eyes lit up like red lanterns, each one filled with greed and bloodlust.

When Ye Fan's classmates saw those eyes again, their first reaction was to recall the fear of being dominated, but they quickly realized that they were now cultivators.

Someone struck first, and a beam of divine light shot out, instantly blasting away hundreds of small crocodiles. The demon, which had seemed exceptionally powerful and troublesome, was now so weak in their hands.

They acted swiftly, slaying the demons who had taken their classmates' lives.

Soon, tens of thousands of small crocodiles died, their bodies turning into pools of flesh.

Perhaps because too many of their companions had died, or perhaps because the old crocodile underground sensed the danger, the remaining small crocodiles slowly retreated, surging into the distance like a tide. Some wanted to chase after them and kill more demons, but ultimately stopped.

These barriers have limited ranges; if they insist on breaking through, they will enter the space environment.

"Alright, our destination is just ahead, we should continue our journey," Qi Hao said.

After killing so many small crocodiles, the people present gradually calmed down.

They once again boarded the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and set off towards that beautiful blue planet.

During this final stretch, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd did not accelerate too quickly. Instead, it moved slowly through space like a sightseeing spaceship, enjoying the surrounding scenery.

However, this so-called slow speed is relative to their previous speed; even so, their current speed is extremely fast. In just over ten minutes, they arrived on the moon from the ancient planet Yinghuo.

Once they arrived, they could even see various artificial satellites floating outside the blue planet, as well as a huge space station. They were floating outside the blue planet, as if a net was wrapping around it.

"This planet looks huge from space..." someone remarked.

The others echoed this sentiment. Having lived on that planet for so long and being highly educated, they had a certain understanding of its culture and history.

But standing in space and looking down at that blue planet, intuitively, it seems larger than it appears to us.

"Just some seals," Qi Hao said calmly.

He was unruly and rarely considered the consequences of his actions. He always did what he wanted, and he could casually reveal some previously hidden truths without any regard for the impact.

Of course, Wang Teng didn't care.

These people are all cultivators; you can't hide it from them anyway, they'll find out about it sooner or later.

"Sealed?" Ye Fan was taken aback upon hearing this.

However, before Qi Hao could explain, a camera was pointed at them in the vast expanse of space.

"Matfak? I'll eat my words! What a load of nonsense!"

The blond, blue-eyed astronaut stared out the window, his eyes wide with shock.

However, no one was destined to respond to him, and the ground-based air base also crashed upon witnessing this scene.

Many people rubbed their eyes frantically, only to find that no matter how they looked at it, the thing was real!
"My God! What am I seeing! A giant gourd? And there are more than a dozen people sitting on it?"

"Is this a miracle? No! This is the descent of gods! The legendary immortals and gods really exist. They are traversing space in a gourd, and the people on it have no protective gear and are even dressed in ancient costumes!"

"Jade Emperor! Amitabha! Laozi! Victorious Fighting Buddha..."

Someone excitedly started pointing at the screen, almost babbling incoherently with poor pronunciation.

It wasn't just him; it was the same for everyone else.

They firmly believe in atheism, yet some people ride in gourd-shaped bodies and traverse the void!

In an instant, all the countries that had the ability to capture this scene went into a frenzy.

Some countries were overjoyed, some were astonished, and some were filled with anxiety.

Whether they were gods or not, those people had very distinct racial features; they all had dark hair and East Asian faces…

"So enthusiastic!" Qi Hao smiled, his smile bright as he looked in the direction they were watching.

With a casual wave of his hand, a ball of fire suddenly appeared, transforming into a lifelike phoenix of flames, flapping its wings and soaring into space.

During this process, the Flame Phoenix grew larger and larger, eventually becoming a thousand feet long, flapping its wings and soaring through the space.

"Alright, stop showing off. There are cultivators on this star as well," Wang Teng said, reminding Qi Hao.

However, Qi Hao didn't care at all.

“There are cultivators? Interesting! Then I’ll give them a little more gift and see how so-called fate guides them.”

Qi Hao chuckled.

The Great Dao runes manifested beside him, which he refined into a small sword. With a flick of his finger, the sword traversed thousands of miles and rushed into the body of the blond, blue-eyed astronaut in the space station.

This process was not deliberately concealed; everyone could see that a small sword entered the person's body.

"The most basic use of the Great Dao can strengthen his physical body to the Dao Palace realm, but that's all. Let's see how this guy manages to escape from the brink of death." Qi Hao laughed arrogantly.

Wang Teng felt helpless; this was his most unruly side. Everything Qi Hao did was something he might also want to do.

Of course, he didn't stop them. There were cultivators on this star, and things weren't as complicated as Ye Fan thought. If someone really did evil by taking advantage of their extraordinary power, they would be dealt with sooner or later, and they might not even be able to wait for the local cultivation forces to take notice of them.

If Gatling guns don't work, try using logs to clean up the mess. If logs don't work, try using nuclear weapons to scrub the area.

Even cultivators at the peak of the Dao Palace Secret Realm are not powerful enough to ignore technological weapons.

Perhaps only cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm, whose bodies are in harmony with the heavens, can ignore almost all the technological means on this star, and then they will most likely be crushed by the local cultivators.

Therefore, Wang Teng was simply leaving a mark on that guy, so that he could resolve everything if an uncontrollable situation arose in the future.

"Let's go, we've already wasted so much time," Wang Teng said.

The Immortal-Slaying Gourd continued its flight, passing through the atmosphere and falling towards Mount Tai.

Like a meteorite, the tourists at Mount Tai were startled when the Immortal-Slaying Gourd fell.

Some people recalled the disaster from a few years ago and fled in terror, almost causing a stampede.

"Tsk, so enthusiastic?" Qi Hao smiled.

However, Wang Teng merely glanced at him.

How come he didn't realize how immature and arrogant he was?
Ye Fan was flustered as soon as he landed, but fortunately, he was a powerful enough cultivator to prevent a stampede.

Here, Ye Fan parted ways with most of his classmates, giving them some items that could prolong their lives before leaving.

The students were very moved. Some of them hadn't had time to prepare, and some had no way to get these things. They felt a mix of emotions as they received them.

Ye Fan smiled and led Wang Teng, Yan Ruyu, Qi Hao, and Pang Bo to avoid the crowd and arrive at the parking lot at the foot of Mount Tai.
