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

Chapter 451 The Hall of Extraordinary Talents Opens, Prodigies Depart
Although they weren't prepared, the matter was resolved smoothly.

Lu Hao personally left a mark on these people, so they could freely enter and exit most places in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. As long as they didn't become arrogant and want to explore the core of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the power of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land would not affect them.

"Thank you so much, senior!" Ye Fan's classmates bowed deeply, tears streaming down their faces.

The few demon cubs behind Wang Teng looked at each other and secretly exchanged glances.

"Our master is indeed extraordinary. Even someone like him would greet him warmly upon seeing him!"

"Yes! And when faced with such a person, our master remained calm and composed, showing no signs of any emotion!"

The few demon cubs were filled with curiosity and anticipation.

This was their first time setting foot in this legendary place, where the cultivation civilization was said to be even more brilliant than their own, so they were very curious about everything around them.

Including this so-called ancient forbidden land.

Although they were unaware of the legends surrounding the Forbidden Land, the mere mention of the Forbidden Land itself spoke volumes.

The fact that a disciple of a forbidden land remained so humble and gentle in front of their master filled them with both disbelief and curiosity.

Although they thought they were being discreet in their discussions, Wang Teng was no ordinary person; he could still overhear the kids whispering about them.

However, Wang Teng didn't care. These people were his chosen ones, equivalent to half of his disciples. If they performed well in the future, they would become his disciples, with a status comparable to those in the Gongdao Hall. Therefore, Wang Teng didn't show any curiosity about them.

It is a very good quality for young people to maintain a strong curiosity about everything around them while also being able to control their behavior.

When he thought of all this, Wang Teng forgot that he was actually a young man, only a teenager. Among the five little demons behind him, some were even older than him.

It's just that nobody mentions it.

In the world of spiritual practitioners, those who have attained enlightenment come first, especially someone as accomplished as Wang Teng.

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Lu with this." Ye Fan bowed deeply.

He was filled with gratitude towards Lu Hao.

This senior, who had previously appeared quite lazy, had helped him in many ways more than once or twice.

Without him, even if Ye Fan could have made it through some things on his own, it would have been very difficult, and it would never have been so easy or simple.

What's more, this person has now taken the initiative to help him solve such a big problem, which makes him even more moved.

"We are fellow disciples, why be so polite?" Lu Hao chuckled and said.

"Now that things are settled here, you should head to Zhongzhou. The Qishi Mansion is an opportunity for everyone. There you will meet more powerful individuals and encounter more opportunities," Lu Hao said to Ye Fan.

Whether he said it or not, Ye Fan was going to go there eventually. He just wanted to plant a seed in Ye Fan's heart to urge him to go there.

In any case, he has already disrupted many of the cause-and-effect relationships in this life, and many things have been brought forward a lot. Moreover, some forces that were not originally involved are now rushing to participate, so it should not matter if some things are accelerated a bit more.

Rather than passively waiting for darkness and turmoil to descend, they should take the initiative and proactively embrace it.

"Yes, I will go. I will head there after I have prepared some things!" Ye Fan nodded emphatically.

He still has some things to do in the Eastern Wilderness.

Unlike others, his current level is indeed quite low.

Whether it's the Holy Son of Yao Guang or Ji Haoyue, the Divine Body of the Ji Family, they are actually preparing to break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm. Some of them may have already broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm. With their cultivation, going to the Central Continent's Strange Master Mansion would naturally be no problem. However, his current realm is too low, only at the Fourth Extreme Realm.

If he rushes over there like this, it might backfire.

However, he still carefully remembered what his senior brother said, and he would definitely go there without hesitation when the time was right.

"In matters of cultivation, just do what you feel comfortable with, and don't worry too much," Lu Hao said, looking at Ye Fan who was deep in thought.

Once upon a time, when his true form, Wang Teng, encountered problems, he liked to consider many things. But now, looking back, he realizes that some things don't need so much consideration at all. In the words of his previous life, he should just go for it.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother!" Ye Fan nodded emphatically.

As for how much he can remember, that's up to him.

After leaving the desolate ancient forbidden land, Ye Fan and the others officially parted ways here.

Ye Fan, Yan Ruyu, Qi Hao, and the few demons they brought from Earth were going to return to the Supreme Holy Land in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness to find some people before heading to the Qishi Mansion in the Central State.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and their classmates did not travel with them. Instead, they followed the path they took when they first came here, intending to return to Lingxu Cave Heaven before heading to Taixuan Sect.

After parting ways, Wang Teng and his group planned to take the domain gate directly to the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.

It is worth mentioning that they borrowed the route from the Ji family when they traveled through the domain gate.

Although Wang Teng arrived cautiously and reminded the Ji family members not to be too flamboyant, he still underestimated the fervor of the Ji family.

No sooner had Wang Teng arrived at the Ji family than everyone in the Ji family knew of his arrival.

The most famous young talents of the Ji family came out to greet Wang Teng. They were especially glad to see Qi Hao and Yan Ruyu by Wang Teng's side.

Faced with such an enthusiastic group of people, Wang Teng naturally wouldn't want to spoil the fun, so they stayed at the Ji family's house for two days.

"Brother Haoyue has already set off for Zhongzhou?" Wang Teng asked in surprise.

These were the words he heard from Ji Haiyue, the proud son of the Ji family whom he had once suppressed with one hand, during the banquet.

“Yes, Haoyue recently broke through to the Dragon Transformation Realm, so she went to Zhongzhou early to get ahead of the competition,” Ji Haiyue said with a light laugh.

There are some things he hasn't said yet. For example, before setting off, Ji Haoyue had seriously said that he wanted to take the lead over Wang Teng this time in order to narrow the gap between the two.

After hearing this, the other members of the Ji family offered encouragement, but Ji Haiyue wanted to complain. Whether it was breaking through to the Dragon Transformation Realm or heading to the Central Continent, Wang Teng had been far ahead. In fact, Wang Teng had already reached the Sendai Realm long ago; the gap between them was already significant, and it couldn't be closed simply by going to the Qishi Mansion earlier.

However, seeing Ji Haoyue's serious and energetic appearance, he ultimately did not criticize him. Instead, as the elder brother of the family, he gave Ji Haoyue a big encouragement.

"It's so fast. It seems we were indeed delayed for a while," Wang Teng said with a light laugh.

To be honest, even he hadn't expected that Ji Haoyue would arrive at the Qishi Mansion so quickly in this life. It seems that he had put a lot of pressure on this proud Eastern Wilderness Divine Body.

"By the way, I heard you went to another starry sky. I wonder what you experienced there and what you saw?" Ji Haiyue asked.

Upon hearing Ji Haiyue's words, the others also turned to look, seemingly anticipating Wang Teng's response.

As we all know, only ancient sages were able to walk among the stars.

Therefore, even the descendants of ancient clans are filled with curiosity and anticipation when they talk about the other side of the starry sky.

"On the other side of the starry sky... the creatures there are not much different from the creatures here. There are also cultivation civilizations there, but they are isolated from the world. So the mortal beings there have developed something called technology..." Wang Teng thought for a moment and slowly began to speak.

There was no need to hide these things, because if he remembered correctly, the Ji family's ancestor should be sleeping on Earth right now, and the Ji family's ancestor would be revived in the future anyway.

"The people beside me are beings from another star system. They are also demons, so their elders asked me to bring them here to guide their cultivation."

Wang Teng gestured to the five little demons beside him and spoke.

The Ji family members turned to look at the few little ones from the demon race, their eyes filled with intense curiosity.

Unless they are related to Wang Teng, the Ji family members will probably be unable to resist conducting some research on them.

"As expected, there are living beings on the ancient starry road!" The Ji family expert sighed and said.

Although this statement seemed somewhat inconsistent with the background of their ancient family, Wang Teng could understand it.

After all, since the great changes in the environment, it has become almost impossible for sages to appear in this world, so naturally no one can go into the starry sky to explore places where other living beings can survive.

So it's understandable that they were so surprised when they heard that there were other worlds in the starry sky.

The few days spent at the Ji family's residence were quite pleasant for both host and guests.

Although the Ji family repeatedly tried to persuade Wang Teng to stay longer, he still left.

Everyone else had already gone to Zhongzhou, and he couldn't fall too far behind. Besides, even if he wasn't in a hurry to go to Zhongzhou, there was no need for him to stay at the Ji family for too long.

Ultimately, the Holy Lord of the Ji family personally escorted Wang Teng onto the Domain Gate.

This is an honor that is usually reserved for visits by the Holy Lords of other families. However, now, the Holy Lord of the Ji family has personally come forward to see off a junior. Moreover, no one else can find fault with what he has done. Even the entire Ji family thinks that the Holy Lord should see Wang Teng off.

After stepping through the dimensional gate, several demon race teenagers couldn't help but ask, "Those people just now seemed to have a very important background?"

"They are one of the most powerful forces on this land. Their ancestors included ancient emperors, and the foundation they left behind can protect their family and ensure their long-term prosperity. The person who just saw us off was the head of their family," said Princess Yan Ruyu of the demon race.

She still harbored some resentment towards the Ji family, after all, the Ji family had once hunted them down.

However, later, because of Wang Teng, the Ji family came to apologize once. Yan Ruyu reluctantly accepted the Ji family's apology out of respect for Wang Teng, so the matter was dropped and the matter was considered closed.

But those demons who followed her really died.

"One of the most powerful forces! They have produced ancient emperors!" Several demon youths looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Their understanding of the ancient emperors was insufficient and incomplete; they only knew that these people stood at the pinnacle of humanity, and that they were only one opportunity away from becoming immortals.

However, according to their simple-minded thinking, when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; after the great emperors of old fell, they naturally ceased to exist in the world.

Even so, the family left behind by the ancient emperor is still one of the most powerful families in this land. Moreover, this powerful family recently treated them with great courtesy, with some even showing deference, which still shocked and surprised them.

“If the predecessors were strong and the descendants were also capable, then a family would naturally be passed down. If the descendants were not capable, then relying solely on so-called heritage would not be enough to support them standing for hundreds of thousands of years in the ancient times,” Wang Teng said.

When he talked about how disappointing his descendants were, he thought of the Emperor's son in the original work.

It's not fair to say that the emperor's son was incompetent; it's just that he was born in the wrong era and offended the wrong people.

“That makes some sense,” Yan Ruyu nodded.

The most obvious example is the demon race. The Demon Emperor has only been dead for a few years, but now the demon race is scattered in various places in the Big Dipper, and it is almost impossible for them to reunite.

During the short time they were discussing this, they had already returned to the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness from the Ji family.

Standing on this familiar land, Wang Teng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with emotion.

He has been in this world for over ten years, and the time he has spent in the Wang family may not even equal the time he spent in the Northern Wilderness.

He had many more acquaintances on this land, such as the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of Yaoguang, the Holy Daughter of Yaochi, the divine body of the Jiang family, the two brothers with very different personalities, Jiang Caixuan who followed him to the ancestral inheritance of the Jiang family, and Xiao Tingting who cultivated the Taiyin Ancient Scripture.

Now, setting foot on this land, his heart is filled with emotion.

Although only a few months have passed, the Central Plains Qishi Mansion has already opened. I wonder how many of those familiar old friends are still in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness. I suppose most of them have already gone to the Central Plains.

After returning to the Northern Region, Wang Teng and his group went directly back to the Supreme Holy Land.

The Peacock King was overjoyed to hear of their return and personally came out to greet them.

"Where is the Azure Dragon King?" Wang Teng asked.

In the past, the Azure Dragon King would be the first to appear at this time, but this time he did not show up.

Mentioning his good brother, the Peacock King couldn't help but grit his teeth, "He's one step ahead of me! He's currently in seclusion, and it won't be long before he officially severs his path!"
