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

Even the Qishi Mansion has been paying attention to this matter recently.

This matter has a tremendous impact. Once it is truly implemented, regardless of the outcome, it will have a profound effect on both the ancient race and the human race.

Although Qishi Mansion is an absolutely neutral force, they cannot remain uninvolved in this matter and will still be caught up in it.

Both the human race and the ancient race took this matter extremely seriously, especially regarding the candidates given for each realm, which they carefully selected.

According to the agreement between the ancient race and the human race, each side will send ten contestants to participate in each different realm, and the final results will be determined by the number of wins and losses in each realm.

Of course, except for certain levels of attainment.

For example, in the Great Sage realm, it is quite difficult to gather twenty people regardless of winning or losing. Moreover, if a fight breaks out, it is not something that either side can accept.

A Great Sage is too important to both sides, so after discussion, it was decided that only three Great Sages would fight, five Saint Kings would fight, and ten Saints would fight, just like the other realms.

Once this result was agreed upon, Yu Sheng, representing the Supreme Hall, directly booked all the sessions for Saints, Saint Kings, and Great Saints.

There are so many wild slaves in the desolate forbidden land; we can make do with them.

Moreover, the most important point is that those Wilderness Slaves have lived in the Ancient Forbidden Land for so long that they have already acquired a trace of the characteristics of the wilderness. Their strength is naturally far greater than that of ordinary Saints, Saint Kings and Great Saints. Even when facing the Ancient Saints of the Ancient Royal Family, they are still able to hold their own.

However, his decision was politely rejected by some people.

"This is not a matter for your Supreme Hall, but for all races. Naturally, we cannot rely solely on your Supreme Hall to contribute. We will first compile a list based on our situation. If we are indeed short-handed, then we will ask you to lend a hand," the White-Robed God-King said.

This was also a collective decision made by all races, with humans as the representative.

Although the Supreme Hall can indeed help them resolve crises, they cannot rely on it for everything. If they do, how can they face victory?
Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng took a deep breath and nodded.

"Alright, then you can draft a list yourselves first. If there aren't enough people, the Supreme Hall will fill the gaps. Although the Supreme Hall only has one successor per generation, we certainly don't lack powerful individuals!"

Yu Sheng spoke.

This was also Qi Hao's explanation.

Qi Hao advanced too quickly and is already at the same level as Wang Teng. He will definitely have no problem entering the Sendai Secret Realm.

As for the Dragon Transformation Realm, with Lu Hao there, he could conquer it all by himself.

With Ye Fan in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, the problem isn't too big.

Therefore, we need to pay special attention to the three realms of sages.

In any case, the number of sages among the myriad races, with humans at the forefront, is not large, and most of them are sealed away, representing the foundation of their respective families. Although it is reasonable to demand their revival from a moral standpoint, for the sake of stability, it is best to let those people step forward themselves.

Soon, a rough list of names for the human race was compiled.

Within the Great Sage realm, the human race has the Crane Great Sage and the Watchdog Great Sage of the Supreme Holy Land.

Although the Great Sage, the watchdog, was suppressed, his strength was truly formidable. As a guardian of another branch of the Ruthless Great Emperor, he wouldn't have been chosen as a guardian if he didn't possess considerable power.

In addition, there was the Great Sage of the Ancient Aristocratic Family who wanted to revive, but was dissuaded by the Great Sage of the Crane.

There was only one spot left for the Great Sage realm, and they absolutely could not show favoritism, so in the end they chose to ask the Supreme Hall to fill another spot.

Among the Saint Kings, the first to be affected are the Feather Saint and the White-Clad God King.

Both of them are genuine Saint Kings. Although the White-Clad God King has only recently reached this level, his potential and combat power are impressive even to the Feather Saint.

Therefore, it is quite appropriate to let the White-Clad God King participate in this battle.

Besides these two, Black Emperor also "contributed" a spot.

That was a small doll that the Great Emperor Wushi created for him years ago. Later, worried that the Black Emperor would be lonely, the Great Emperor infused the doll with a trace of sentience. Now, hundreds of thousands of years later, that little doll has transformed into a Saint King.

Black Emperor was someone we only found not long ago.

According to the Black Emperor, a corpse possesses a spirit, making it a legitimate living being, so using it in battle is absolutely no problem!
Besides these three, there were also two saints from ancient families, namely the Ji family and the Jiang family. Without any hesitation, these two families directly awakened a saint king ancestor.

Although they didn't say anything, the Great Sage Crane could tell that this must be one of the last remaining treasures of the ancient aristocratic family.

After all, the ancient clans have been passed down for so many years, and things haven't always gone smoothly for them. They have encountered many crises, and each crisis has depleted some of their resources. Over time, it has been quite an achievement that they have been able to protect their ancestors.

Therefore, relying solely on the human race, five Saint Kings have already been assembled.

As for those at the Saint level, there aren't many that the human race can summon.

There was a man who had recently become a sage and wanted to make a move, but he was dissuaded by the Great Sage Crane and the White-Clad God King.

Although this battle was supposed to be a friendly spar, it turned out to be a real fight, and no one could guarantee that bloodshed wouldn't occur.

Therefore, they were extremely careful and serious about choosing each participant, and they would never allow the strong of the human race and all other races to sacrifice themselves in vain.

In the end, the human race managed to gather seven saints, each from a different ancient family holy land and the Central Continent Dynasty. Among them were saints from the Great Xia royal family and saints from the Jiuli Dynasty. Even a demon saint from the Southern Ridge arrived slowly; he was a tortoise with defenses that were almost unparalleled in this realm.

As for the last three vacancies, they can only be filled by the Supreme Hall.

Once the list of those who have reached the level of sainthood is finalized, the rest becomes much easier.

In the Sendai Secret Realm below the Saint level, the human race also made a list. Although it included the three minor realms of Immortal One, Immortal Two, and Immortal Three, according to the initial statement, even with the three minor realms, only ten people could be sent, and a maximum of four people could be sent from each minor realm.

Therefore, the team immediately confirmed the participation of Wang Teng and Qi Hao.

Although these two are at the first level of the Sendai Secret Realm, their combat strength is definitely not as great as they appear.

Their origins are both quite extraordinary, and their strength is equally formidable.

Qi Hao is the successor of the Supreme Hall, with the Supreme Hall standing behind him. Wang Teng is the successor of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, known as the Northern Emperor, with the Immortal Crane Great Sage and other backup plans left by the Chaotic Ancient Emperor standing behind him.

Therefore, in the first level of the Sendai Secret Realm, these two were able to easily sweep through the enemy lines.

As for the remaining spots, the human race and all other races certainly have no shortage of top-tier experts and Dao-slaying kings.

Although some people are in seclusion, they are not unawakenable.

At the level of Great Power, three candidates were selected for ancestor recognition: the Peacock King, the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, and the Holy Lord of the Ji Family.

These three are powerful enough to live up to everyone's expectations. Originally, the Great Sage Crane and the others wanted to include the Azure Dragon King on the list, but they later learned that the Azure Dragon King had begun to sever his Dao, so they had to give up on that idea.

Among the Dao-Slaying Kings, there is one from the Supreme Holy Land, who was once one of the Thirteen Great Bandits. That person's strength is not just that of a Dao-Slaying King, but has already taken a half-step towards the next realm, and can almost be considered a Half-Saint.

So if he were to play, his chances of winning would be quite high.

In addition, the other two Dao-Slaying Kings were also powerful enough, and were selected after being tested by the Great Sage of the Crane and the White-Clad God King.

There are some disagreements regarding the list of names for the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Most of the geniuses from each family are now at this level, and their strength is quite formidable. However, some people don't seem to want their geniuses to fight too early, so even though the Great Sage of the Crane gave a hint, some people remained unmoved.

However, the Great Sage Crane and the White-Clad God King and others really couldn't say anything.

Because these families and forces had already sent out Saints or Dao-Slaying Kings to fight, it wouldn't be good to force those geniuses to fight now.

In the end, Gai Jiuyou sent a telepathic message to send Xia Jiuyou over to join the battle.

In addition, the Supreme Holy Land also sent the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King to participate in the battle, and other forces also took the initiative to send their prodigies to participate.

Even Wang Teng instructed the Great Sage Crane to add Yu'er's name to the list.

Yu'er was already quite talented, and after being trained by Wang Teng, she is now even stronger. In the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, she may not be invincible, but unless the ancient prince intervenes, very few people can defeat her with her talent.

Besides these three people, another person suggested a name.

"Lu Hao!"

Many people were taken aback when they heard the name.

Previously, Lu Hao was not famous, and it was only recently that his name began to gradually come into everyone's view. However, compared to the holy sons of various families who have been recognized by everyone, the others were subconsciously ignored.

"Is this person capable?" the white-robed god-king asked.

This matter concerns the future of humanity and all other races, so they must be cautious in selecting candidates. Even if someone volunteers, they must screen the list to prevent someone from sneaking in and causing a crisis for humanity.

“Absolutely no problem. To be honest, that person also comes from a certain forbidden zone of life, and is a successor of that forbidden zone of life.” Yu Sheng said as if he remembered something.

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone present was stunned.

Successors of the forbidden zone of life?
The meaning of these words is naturally extraordinary.

Those who are able to sit here are either powerful figures at the Sage Realm or Holy Lords of various families. Naturally, they know far more about the term "forbidden zone of life" than others.

"Which forbidden zone of life does he come from?" the Holy Lord of the Ji family asked.

He remembered some things from before.

Back in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, the Ji family once hunted down Ye Fan. It was this man named Lu Hao who intervened and saved Ye Fan from the Ji family's clutches.

"Ancient Forbidden Land!" Yu Sheng slowly spoke.

The moment he finished speaking, the room erupted in uproar.

"It's actually an ancient forbidden area?"

"This is impossible! I've never heard of any living being being able to enter the Ancient Forbidden Land before!"

"That's a deadly place, a place that devours people without spitting out bones. How could anyone possibly have come out of there!"

Not to mention the various holy lords, even the white-robed god-king fell silent upon hearing this.

But in the end, he nodded.

"If this person really comes from the Forbidden Land of the Ancient Wilderness, then there is naturally no problem in letting him fight. However, is there one thing we need to confirm beforehand whether this person is a human or a being of any race?" the white-robed god-king asked.

"Please rest assured, fellow Daoist, he is a pure-blooded human. He just had some fortuitous encounters before, which led to him being taken in as a successor by the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."

With a smile on his face, Yu Sheng spoke.

Hearing Yu Sheng's words, the others finally felt relieved.

No one questioned why this Feather Saint knew so much, because this Feather Saint represented the Supreme Hall.

And what the Supreme Hall is, of course, needs no further explanation.

Finally, with the approval of the Great Sage Crane and the White-Clad God King, this name was added to the list.

"There are a few more spots available. Let's select from the newly emerging talents from various regions. Some of them are really quite strong, so we can let them give it a try," said the Great Sage Crane.

Recently, there have indeed been some outstanding chefs in various places, such as the one in Zhongzhou who claims to be the descendant of the Ancient Emperor of Taiyin and the Ancient Emperor of Taiyang, and the one who suddenly appeared in Nanling who is the descendant of the Demon Emperor...

Of course, this also includes the demon princess, who has been with Wang Teng for so long, and whose strength is definitely the easiest to overlook.

These people are all exceptionally capable and are worth considering.

Finally, there's the Four Extremes Secret Realm. There's not much to say about this one; the White-Clad God King simply added Ye Fan's name to it from the start.

Besides Ye Fan, the other names were chosen from among the prodigies of their respective families.

The main reason is that the successors and holy sons of various families have now entered the Dragon Transformation Realm, and since they are new to the Dragon Transformation Realm, their strength is not very high.

Therefore, we can only try our best to select some geniuses from the Four Extremes Secret Realm to participate in the battle.

Finally, the list was initially drafted and then reviewed by Yu Sheng. The vacant positions of the sages were then filled by the Supreme Hall.

"The absence of one Great Sage and three Sages is not a problem. We, the Supreme Hall, can handle these matters. You should convey this list to the people on the list and let them prepare in advance."

Yu Sheng spoke.

He could easily pull out four of the Great Sage and three Saints from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land with his eyes closed.

Once the list was finalized, those whose names were on it were quickly notified.

In the Dragon Pool, Yan Ruyu revealed half of her snow-white, lotus-like arm, looking at the list Wang Teng had just handed her, and smiled faintly, "Did you already guess that I would be on the list?" (End of this chapter)
