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

"Severing the Dao?" Wang Teng was stunned when he heard this news.

Is the Azure Dragon King about to sever his Dao?

This really surprised him.

Since the Azure Dragon King was already one of the most powerful beings, he should have severed his Dao long ago.

If it weren't for the changes in the environment of heaven and earth, the Azure Dragon King would probably be a half-saint by now.

"Yes, this old guy is very meticulous. He has been accumulating knowledge for a long time. He could have severed the Dao long ago, but he has been holding back, wanting to find a better way and angle to do so. And when you went to the other side of the starry sky, he actually found a way!" Peacock King said indignantly when he mentioned these things.

Originally, his strength and progress were about the same as those of the Azure Dragon King. However, the Azure Dragon King, being a member of the dragon clan, was naturally more suited to cultivating the True Dragon Nine Transformations. Therefore, he far surpassed him in terms of compatibility with the new cultivation method and was able to achieve Dao Severance a step earlier than him!
Even their senior, Brother Red Dragon, was allowed to cultivate the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon and made good progress. He is currently in seclusion preparing to sever his Dao.

Among the powerful figures of the demon race, he, Crow Daoist, and Golden-Winged Roc King have not yet severed their Dao. However, Crow Daoist has long been confident and is only waiting for an opportunity. Golden-Winged Roc King is the same; he will sever his Dao long ago, but he is just waiting for his grandson to be born, which is why he is in such a hurry.

"I see." Wang Teng nodded.

He originally thought that the Azure Dragon King was already strong enough in terms of both strength and experience, and that he should be able to break through to the Dao soon. However, he did not expect that when he returned this time, the Azure Horn King had already begun to break through to the Dao. This was an unexpected surprise.

Although the ancient races are about to revive, they will still set rules in the future: if sages do not emerge, then the King of Slaying the Dao will still be the strongest. The demon race will also have a strong figure in charge.

This would send them back to the Ancient Starry Road, where the demon race also had some powerful figures stationed.

Seeing the Peacock King's sullen expression, Wang Teng smiled.

This senior has always acted spontaneously. Although he is very powerful, he still retains a childlike heart and often wears his emotions on his sleeve.

"What's wrong, senior? Why are you so downcast?" Wang Teng asked with a light laugh.

"It's because they're all preparing to sever their Dao, while I'm still stuck at my current level." The Peacock King sighed, somewhat dissatisfied that he hadn't yet severed his Dao.

Logically speaking, he should have accumulated enough experience, but he has yet to attempt to break through to the Dao.

“Senior, there’s no need to rush. I have something here that might help you break through to the Dao immediately!” Wang Teng smiled.

He took out the essence blood of the Undying Emperor that he had obtained from the Heavenly Emperor's son. This essence blood came from the Immortal Phoenix of the Immortal Realm and was of great help to the cultivation of birds. He had once sought out the Great Sage Crane to give this to him, but the Great Sage Crane refused.

Now Wang Teng has taken this item out again, intending to give it to the Peacock King to help him advance further.

"What is this?" The Peacock King asked, his eyes wide as he felt the allure of the drop of brilliant and crystalline blood before him.

At this moment, what he saw before him was extraordinary. Although it was just a drop of blood, it gave him a very different feeling, as if what was placed in front of him was a priceless treasure. A voice deep in his heart told him that he must seize this thing. As long as he could seize this thing, he could obtain unparalleled benefits.

However, in front of Wang Teng, the Peacock King still restrained himself, not because he couldn't beat Wang Teng, but simply because Wang Teng still addressed him as a senior, so he couldn't do the same.

"This is the essence blood of the Undying Emperor. He was a true Celestial Phoenix, from the Celestial Realm sought by countless ancient emperors. By chance, I fought him at the same level, defeated him, and obtained this drop of essence blood. You and that emperor are both from the Flying Bird Group, so this drop of essence blood should be of great use to you," Wang Teng said, confidently handing the item over to the Peacock King.

The Peacock King stood there dumbfounded, his face filled with astonishment and shock. It was unclear whether he was shocked by the extraordinary origin of this drop of blood or by the fact that Wang Teng had actually defeated the legendary Undying Emperor at the same level.

"This is too precious for me to accept!" Although the Peacock King was tempted, he pushed the drop of blood away again, intending to return it to Wang Teng.

“Senior, there’s no need for such formalities. I have no use for this drop of blood myself, so I’d rather give it to you. Besides, I’ve already had a powerful expert examine it, and there’s no mark left by the Undying Emperor in this drop of blood. You can absorb and utilize it with peace of mind, without worrying about any other problems,” Wang Teng said, handing the drop of blood to the Peacock King.

Indeed, as he said, he no longer needed this drop of essence blood, and the only person most suitable to use this essence blood by his side was the Peacock King.

As for the others, the Great Sage Crane is of no use, and the Golden-Winged Roc King is nowhere to be seen.

Needless to say, Wang Teng had already prepared something even better for Yan Ruyu; the pool of dragon marrow in Zhongzhou was prepared specifically for her.

As for humans, although they can also use it, the effect is definitely not as good as that of demons, so Wang Teng never considered giving this thing to humans in the first place.

Therefore, after careful consideration, only the Peacock King is the most suitable candidate.

"I..." the Peacock King said excitedly, his voice trembling and his face slightly flushed.

He rarely gets this excited, but this time he is genuinely excited.

"Senior, please accept this. It is indeed most suitable for you," Yan Ruyu said from the side.

She even had a little selfish motive; she used this as a betrothal gift from Wang Teng to the demon race, as a small testament to their future togetherness.

However, she didn't tell anyone about this idea; she just kept it to herself.

Seeing that the princess was also urging him to accept it, the Peacock King took a deep breath and accepted the gift.

"I won't say more! Anyway, we've known each other for so long and spent so much time together, we know each other's personalities very well! I'll just say one thing: if there's ever a time when I need your help, I, the Peacock King, will do anything for you, even risk my life!" the Peacock King said earnestly, his face full of determination.

Of course, no one questioned the Peacock King's decision, because the Peacock King always kept his word.

He said he would avenge the demon princess, and he really did. He rushed to the gate of the ancient Ji family and slapped the gate of the Ji family flying.

That was an ancient and powerful family. If he wasn't careful, he might have been captured, killed, or even suffered a fate worse than death by that family. But he still did it.

Now that he has made such a genuine promise to Wang Teng, it means that he will definitely fulfill what he said today in the future.

Wang Teng chuckled and nodded upon hearing this.

He didn't question the Peacock King's words, but felt that the Peacock King was being too formal. However, the Peacock King's formality just proved that this had always been his personality.

"Perhaps after I break through to the Dao-Slaying King realm, I'll be able to go and see the Ancient Star Road," the Peacock King suddenly laughed and said.

His original talent was not low; he was one of the most powerful geniuses among the demon race. Otherwise, how could he have reached the peak of the Great Power realm?

Moreover, the fact that he escaped from being hunted by several holy lords further demonstrates that his talent and combat strength are extraordinary.

Most importantly, he is still very young!
Unlike the Azure Dragon King, the Crow Daoist, and the Crimson Dragon Old Daoist, the Peacock King was much younger, even younger than some of the Supreme Elders of the Sendai Secret Realm. He could be considered part of the younger generation, so he was naturally qualified to take a trip on the Ancient Starry Sky Road.

Upon hearing that the Peacock King wanted to travel along the ancient starry road, Wang Teng's heart stirred.

“This is a cultivation manual left behind by a flying demon saint from another starry sky. It should be useful to you, senior, so I specially compiled a copy for you.” Wang Teng took out something and handed it to the Peacock King.

The peacock was deeply moved upon seeing this.

Treating Wang Teng as a younger brother was the best decision he ever made. He gained so much from Wang Teng, and all he had to give up was the protection he provided for Wang Teng. In fact, even if he hadn't protected Wang Teng, Wang Teng wouldn't have faced any danger.

However, the Peacock King was not one to fuss over trivial matters. After accepting the gifts and sincerely thanking Wang Teng, he turned and left, eager to go into seclusion and break through to the next level.

There will be no crisis at the Supreme Holy Land, because there is a Great Sage guarding the gate here.

The Great Sage, tamed into a watchdog, squats in front of the Supreme Holy Land every day, deterring all those who harbor ill intentions towards the Supreme Holy Land.

Even when some revived ancient clans heard of the Supreme Hall and wanted to pay a visit, they hesitated when they saw a Great Sage tied up in front of the door.

Good heavens, they never imagined that they could tame a great saint into a watchdog.

Even at the height of the ancient clans' power, no ancient emperor ever did this.

It wasn't that Gu Huang lacked the ability, but rather that doing so would mean declaring war on another race, a war to the death. After all, the Great Sage was no small figure; in many eras, he had been the most powerful person in a royal or even imperial family.

So when they saw the Great Sage squatting by the roadside like a dog guarding the gate of the Supreme Holy Land, they immediately calmed down.

"These people really left quickly," Qi Hao chuckled, a hint of regret in his voice.

They didn't linger on Earth for too long, but those prodigies couldn't wait to flock to the Central Plains' Qishi Mansion.

The ancient race is about to revive, and the future situation is bound to be turbulent. No one knows what might happen the next day, and Beidou will soon become the core of the storm and vortex.

The younger generation is rushing to Qishi Mansion not only to seize opportunities, but also to leave the core of the vortex as soon as possible to avoid being caught in the impending storm.

"It doesn't matter, we'll meet again on the ancient starry road in the future anyway." Wang Teng remained calm about this.

If they had set off first, given their speed, those behind them would never have been able to catch up with them, and would have only ever seen their backs, never being forced into a battle.

However, if those people set off first, it would be too easy for Wang Teng to catch up with them, and they would inevitably run into each other sooner or later.

“Actually, we can make some preparations and go over there,” Wang Teng continued.

Although they had been gone for several months, the atmosphere on Beidou's side remained very heavy.

The envoys from the ancient race and the human race were still negotiating, and tensions were high both inside and outside the Yaochi Holy Land, as if a battle of the strongest could break out at any moment.

The peerless quasi-emperor of the human race, Gai Jiuyou, once appeared far away outside the sleeping ground of an ancient royal family with an ultimate imperial weapon. Although he did not say a word and only showed his back, it calmed down the most radical ancient royal family. The saint they sent to negotiate also calmed down and would take the initiative to consult with others when faced with problems.

An unparalleled quasi-emperor, not long after his death, appeared at his doorstep with an ultimate imperial weapon. Wouldn't anyone be terrified if this happened to them?

Even those high-ranking, forbidden zones of life would be terrified when faced with this situation, and would not dare to provoke the other party.

However, Gai Jiuyou was relatively restrained, knowing that such intimidation could not be used too many times, otherwise the effect would be greatly reduced. So, in the months since the beginning of the negotiations, he has only appeared once or twice. Each time he appeared, he would ease the most intense atmosphere of the negotiations, and both sides would take a step back before starting a new round of negotiations.

Although those ancient tribes hated it with a vengeance, they were helpless.
The oppressive aura emanating from a peerless quasi-emperor who was not long old was already immense, not to mention that the peerless quasi-emperor was also carrying an ultimate imperial weapon!
There's no need for politeness. Just one glance from the other person standing at your doorstep is enough to make you feel suffocated!

The person opposite Gai Jiuyou is another guy.

Black Emperor hasn't been idle lately either.

After his true identity was exposed, he stopped pretending.

For the past few days, he has been watching his nearly completely broken little bell run around everywhere, running to the places where the ancient tribes slumber, stopping briefly there, and then running away with a smile while the ancient tribes are terrified.

This guy even dared to venture outside the forbidden zone and there he put on a half-smile.

However, the people in the forbidden zone ignored him, and Black Emperor, finding it boring, left.

This guy runs around everywhere, which attracts a lot of hatred, but even people from the forbidden zone don't dare to actually do anything to him.

Regardless of whether the powerful Emperor Wushi was actually dead or not, the mere sight of that bell brought them a great sense of oppression.

So they could only let that annoying guy run around everywhere every day.

Right after Wang Teng returned, Black Emperor seemed to have found his pillar of support and rushed back to the Supreme Holy Land to see Wang Teng. (End of Chapter)
