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

Seeing that Ji Haoyue was still performing so consistently, Wang Teng felt relieved.

However, no matter what, Ji Haoyue is, after all, a divine body from the Eastern Wilderness. His physique is what it is. Throughout history, people with divine bodies, as long as they can grow up normally, will not have low achievements in the future.

Moreover, Ji Haoyue's strength is indeed extraordinary. At least compared to others, Ji Haoyue's strength is overwhelming. It's just that for the top people, his strength is slightly inferior.

So when these things were mentioned, the other prodigies all looked at Ji Haoyue. No one thought that Ji Haoyue was lying or bragging; at least many people thought that this was the proper way to do it.

After all, this person is a descendant of an ancient family!
"Fighting others? You'd rather fight me first!" The little dragon king in green looked at Ji Haoyue and said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, the tension in his words was palpable.

His fighting spirit was almost burning, and his eyes were full of provocation.

Others became interested upon seeing this.

As we all know, the Ji family of the Eastern Wilderness had some unpleasantness with the demon race in the past. However, due to Wang Teng, the Ji family and the demon race shook hands and made peace. But now it seems that this matter is not completely over.

At least in the eyes of some of the younger generation, this matter is not so easy to get over.

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyue narrowed her eyes slightly, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

"You want to fight me?" Ji Haoyue asked in an icy voice.

If it were in the past, he might have really struggled when facing the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King. However, he has not been without progress. After being spurred on by Wang Teng, he has not been idle during this period. On the contrary, he has been cultivating very seriously. The current Ji Haoyue is much stronger than before.

Moreover, due to Wang Teng's sudden emergence and dazzling brilliance, the older generation of the Ji family have become much more open-minded than before.

Originally, some inheritances required Ji Haoyue to enter the Sendai Secret Realm to cultivate, but with Wang Teng's dazzling brilliance, those thresholds have been lowered a lot. Now, Ji Haoyue has actually cultivated many forbidden techniques and skills that she shouldn't have been able to cultivate at this time.

So, to put it bluntly, his strength is now several times greater than before.
Even when faced with the challenge from this rising star of the demon race, he showed no sign of seriousness; instead, he looked at his opponent with the same fighting spirit.

He never doubted that it was Wang Teng's order, since from any perspective, Wang Teng had no reason to issue such an order.

Wang Teng's relationship with the Ji family is far more complex than outsiders perceive. Wang Teng and the Ji family are truly united, and their relationship transcends that of ordinary allies. Therefore, from any perspective, Wang Teng has no reason to do that.

He was more inclined to believe that this was the choice of the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King himself, because even Ji Haoyue himself felt that the matter between their Ji family and the demon race was not over, but just lacked an opportunity to completely resolve everything.

And a battle is undoubtedly the most appropriate way!

"I've wanted to fight you for a long time! How about it? Do you dare to fight?" The little dragon king in green chuckled, a bright smile on his face, as he looked at Ji Haoyue provocatively.

For those who knew the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King, this scene seemed somewhat unbelievable, because in their impression, the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King had always been refined and easy-going, always so courteous and polite in everything he did. He didn't seem like the offspring of a great demon or bandit, but rather like a successor who had been painstakingly trained by an ancient family.

That's why they found it so unbelievable when they saw the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King declare war on Ji Haoyue.

Although there was already a rift between them, in the eyes of those present, it should have been someone as hot-tempered as the Golden-Winged Roc King who fought Ji Haoyue, so how did it become the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King who appeared?

Some people turned their gaze toward Wang Teng, seemingly waiting for him to recount his memories.

Of all the people present, apart from Wang Teng, no one else's words would necessarily have any effect; only Wang Teng's words could ease the tension in this battle.

Even renowned figures like Jiang Yifei from the Jiang family, the Jiang family's divine body, and the Holy Son of Yaoguang were looking at Wang Teng, seemingly waiting for his reaction.

They all knew perfectly well that if Wang Teng tacitly approved, the battle would continue, but if Wang Teng spoke up, the battle would definitely be called off.

Wang Teng sighed softly and slowly said, "Today is a welcome banquet prepared by Brother Tian Sha for us. It's not easy for us to get together. Let's put aside any grudges for later. Today, let's just enjoy this rare gathering. After the ancient clans recover in a while, it will probably not be so easy to get together in such a peaceful time."

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the little dragon king in green robes did not hesitate. He simply gave Ji Haoyue a deep look before sitting down.

The others were somewhat surprised to see this. They had only heard that the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King had a good relationship with Wang Teng, and was even suspected of being Wang Teng's follower, but no one had paid much attention to it until they saw the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King sit down immediately upon Wang Teng's command. Only then did they realize the relationship between the two.

Ji Haoyue also took a deep look at the little dragon king in green, then sat down, picked up a cup of wine, and toasted Wang Teng from afar.

“Brother Wang is right. It’s a rare opportunity for us all to get together. Let’s settle any grudges another day. Today, let’s just enjoy this moment together.” The successor of Tian Sha also stood up and spoke with a smile.

In the past, he was a nobody, and even if he spoke up, no one would necessarily pay attention to him.

But things are different now. Wang Teng spoke first, so even if others don't give him face, they still have to give him some respect.

Sure enough, after the successor of the Heavenly Fiend spoke, everyone else raised their glasses, and the tense atmosphere dissipated considerably.

After several rounds of drinks, someone brought up the matter of the revival of the ancient tribes.

"It has been almost a year since the first ancient clan mentioned the matter of the ancient clan's revival, but even after so much time, has nothing been settled regarding the revival of the ancient clans?" someone asked.

This person is from the Central Plains and doesn't know much about things in the distant Eastern Wilderness.

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

After all, the meeting between the ancient races and the human race was held in the Yaochi Holy Land, so everyone naturally felt that the Yaochi Holy Maiden probably knew more inside information than others.

Facing the eager and curious gazes of the crowd, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi chuckled, "I don't know much about this matter either. When I left Yaochi Holy Land, there were still several Great Saints of the Ancient Clan there, arguing endlessly with the White-Clad Divine King of the Jiang family, the Crane Great Saint behind Wang Teng, and the Feather Saint from the Supreme Holy Land, among other powerful figures, about the Ancient Clan's habitat after its revival." In reality, it was far more than that. Before she left, it was said that a small-scale sparring session had already broken out among those Ancient Saints.

However, those sparring sessions were all conducted in secret and would not be shown to the public, otherwise it would definitely cause panic.

"Habitat? What's there to talk about? Millions of years have passed since the era of the ancient races. When the ancient emperors of the human race walked on this land, why didn't any of those ancient races appear? Now they've all stepped forward! Logically speaking, since the ancient races have been buried for so long, this land should belong to our human race. It's only theirs if we're willing to give it to them. If we're not willing to give it to them, even if they want it, they should show sincerity!"

A very young prodigy spoke up indignantly.

He disapproved of the arrogant behavior of the ancient tribe.

Even though millions of years have passed since the ancient races first lived, they have revived a million years later and still act arrogantly and haughtily, as if they are still the masters of this land and have just kindly lent it to the human race.

"In the end, this matter depends on the power struggle among those important figures. Although those ancient clans have been gone for millions of years, their strength is still formidable, especially some so-called royal families. They have many sages and great saints who have been sealed away. If this matter is not discussed in advance, when they are fully revived, the human race may face a certain crisis."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke.

Although she felt that such radical remarks were inappropriate, she did not ridicule the other party, but instead discussed the matter objectively.

"Isn't our human race said to have a legendary quasi-emperor? If that powerful figure were to step in, the ancient races should behave themselves, right?" one of the prodigies asked.

Not all prodigies come from powerful families or holy lands. Some prodigies are truly unpolished gems. They didn't come from any famous powerful forces before. Some even came from remote wilderness areas.

Therefore, their perspectives vary widely, and their views on some issues are even more bizarre.

“That Quasi-Emperor senior did do something, but I can only say that without him, our human race would have faced much greater difficulties in this negotiation,” Jiang Yifei said.

Because of the White-Clad God King, that Quasi-Emperor had more contact with their Jiang family, so they knew some inside information that others did not.

"Brother Wang should know more about this matter than we do. I wonder if Brother Wang could clear up our doubts?" Yaochi Saintess looked at Wang Teng and said.

Even though she was in the Yaochi Holy Land before, she still felt that her knowledge and understanding of this matter were far less profound than Wang Teng's.

Upon hearing the words of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, the others also looked at Wang Teng. Although no one spoke, the curiosity and anticipation in their eyes spoke volumes.

"Okay, then I'll just take what I know." Seeing that so many people were paying attention to him, Wang Teng nodded.

"First of all, the revival of ancient races is not necessarily a bad thing. Just like there are good people and bad people in the human race, there are also some people in the ancient races who can keep up with the changes of the times and show goodwill when facing the human race. This part of the revival of ancient races may be a good thing for the human race."

"However, a considerable number of ancient races harbor malice towards the human race. In their minds, the human race is nothing more than food for them. Even after millions of years, one after another, ancient emperors of the human race have emerged, but they will not change their minds and will still regard the human race as food. Once this part of the ancient races is revived, it will definitely cause friction with the human race."

"Therefore, the current topic of discussion in the Yaochi Holy Land is what the ancient races can and cannot do after their revival. Only under this premise can we determine how much territory the ancient races should possess after their revival."

Wang Teng slowly began to speak.

If it weren't for the Great Sage of the Crane, the mysterious Supreme Hall, and the premature birth of the peerless Quasi-Emperor Gai Jiuyou, the ancient clans would never have sat down to discuss things with them for so long.

In the original story, the ancient race was very domineering. The reason they are now willing to sit down and negotiate is because they have also been threatened.

A peerless quasi-emperor whose days are numbered is seen loitering around the gate every day carrying an ultimate imperial weapon. Anyone would be terrified by this!
"I see... But it's hard to tell whether an ancient clan is good or bad, isn't it?" Someone nodded in sudden realization, and then raised their own doubts.

"So after discussing this matter for so long, since we can't distinguish between the good and bad of the ancient races, let's just treat them all as bad and strictly restrict them from doing those things from the beginning," Wang Teng said.

It is precisely for this reason that the Great Sage Crane stayed at the Yaochi Holy Land for so long.

Several holy wars, unknown to outsiders, even broke out in the past few months, but everyone was very restrained. Although battles broke out, fortunately, no bloodshed occurred.

"Speaking of the ancient sages, I suddenly recalled that when my brother was undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation of the Immortal Platform, it seemed as if a sage suddenly appeared, trying to stop him. Now that I think about it, those ancient sages were truly despicable. Not only did they try to seize our territory, but they also tried to assassinate our prodigies!"

Some people recalled Wang Teng's experience when he was undergoing tribulation and spoke up indignantly.

Wang Teng's expression was strange, thinking to himself that these people had really missed out on the ancient clans.

The ancient clan had little to do with that incident from beginning to end. They were more like bystanders. The real culprit was sitting next to Wang Teng, listening to his story with a smile, as if it had nothing to do with him.

“That matter has little to do with the ancient clans; they were just bystanders,” Wang Teng said with a light laugh.

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the prodigies who were not aware of the original situation were stunned for a moment.

"Not an ancient race? Could it be a human race?"

Someone spoke up excitedly, their voice filled with disbelief.

After all, everyone can see that Wang Teng is almost the most talented person in history. In the future, when the ancient clans are revived, there may be many changes due to Wang Teng's existence.

However, this most brilliant person in history was almost assassinated by his own people, which was something many people did not expect.

"It's alright, just some petty scoundrels. Even if they came a thousand times more, I could easily defeat them. After all, everyone has witnessed my strength, right, Brother Yaoguang?" Wang Teng smiled warmly. (End of Chapter)
