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

Chapter 68 The True Twin Heroes of Zhuofeng!
Outside Zhuofeng Peak, elders from other peaks were already waiting with their disciples.

With the emergence of the Zhuofeng lineage causing such a commotion, how could they not know?
Each of them brought along a promising disciple, hoping to join Zhuofeng and carry forward its legacy.

However, since the peak master of Zhuofeng, Li Ruoyu, did not appear, they could not directly ascend Zhuofeng. Therefore, even the elders of other peaks waited outside Zhuofeng.

Li Ruoyu also knew about this, but he did nothing.

In comparison, he was more concerned about the true identities of these two disciples.

Outside of Zhuofeng, the elders of those peak gates were not in a hurry either.

They all knew what the reappearance of Zhuofeng's legacy meant: Li Ruoyu might become a being comparable to the ancient great powers in the future.

In addition, they are well aware of what other peak disciples have done to Zhuofeng over the years. If waiting for a period of time can eliminate the gap, they are willing to wait.

On the peak of Zhuofeng, after a long while, Lu Hao and Ye Fan slowly opened their eyes.

After receiving the inheritance, Wang Teng's consciousness returned.

At this moment, he was still Lu Hao, not Wang Teng.

Even so, he was still quite extraordinary.

Without the Bodhi Seed, the time spent absorbing all the inheritances of Zhuofeng plus the All-Character Secret was the same as the time spent by Ye Fan, who only studied the All-Character Secret while holding the Bodhi Seed.

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be called the Northern Emperor in the original work. His talent and aptitude are truly... a pity for the original owner of this body!

Li Ruoyu looked at the two disciples in front of him with a complicated expression. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to begin.

Finally, he sighed softly and looked at his eldest disciple, Lu Hao.

“You are the Dao…” Li Ruoyu asked.

When he was receiving the inheritance of Zhuofeng, he resonated with heaven and earth and almost became one with Zhuofeng. His eldest disciple, Lu Hao, followed closely behind and also devoted himself to it. Therefore, he felt the special qualities of his eldest disciple.

However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Hao interrupted him.

"Yes, I possess the legendary Dao Body, and my progress on the path of cultivation is as rapid as a thousand miles a day, even surpassing that of a Divine Body!" said the eldest disciple, Lu Hao, with certainty.

Li Ruoyu's gaze was complicated, but he finally nodded. Since his eldest disciple did not want to reveal anything, he would not elaborate further.

Beside him, Ye Fan looked at his senior brother in surprise.

No wonder my senior brother is so powerful. He's not much older than me, yet he can overpower a great cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. It turns out that the other party's physique is also very special, something I've never heard of before!

But it sounds powerful enough!

Tao body, born with a shortcut!
Li Ruoyu withdrew his gaze, looked at his second disciple who had been fooled, and slowly said, "You are the Ancient Sacred Body, aren't you?"

Ye Fan's expression changed slightly, and he nodded.

"Don't worry, I mean you no harm," Li Ruoyu said kindly. "Others say that this kind of physique has no future, but that's not necessarily true for you. If you cultivate diligently, you may be able to break through your limits in the future."

"Yes!" Ye Fan nodded emphatically.

"However, it's best not to tell others about possessing the Ancient Sacred Body, especially not some holy lands or aristocratic families," Li Ruoyu added.

"Why?" Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked.

“Some things happened too long ago, so there’s no need to worry too much, but we should still be careful. Some holy lands once conducted experiments on the Ancient Sacred Body, but it ultimately stopped at the fourth level of the Dao Palace, and the fate of that Ancient Sacred Body was not good,” Li Ruoyu said.

Then she comforted Ye Fan, telling him not to overthink it.

This matter happened so long ago that many holy lands and aristocratic families had already concluded that the Ancient Sacred Body could not possibly grow. However, Ye Fan still kept those words in mind; since it concerned his own safety, he had to be extremely careful.

Li Ruoyu looked at his two disciples, one a Dao Palace deity and the other an Ancient Saint Body. Their backgrounds were probably quite impressive. Calling them the Twin Heroes of Zhuofeng back then was truly an understatement.

"Are you two willing to stay at Zhuofeng and sincerely become disciples?" Li Ruoyu asked.

He didn't care that his eldest disciple was a deity of the Dao Palace, nor did he care that his second disciple was an ancient holy body; he only wanted to know the other party's attitude.

Without any hesitation, Lu Hao immediately nodded, "I am willing to become a disciple of Zhuofeng!"

Li Ruoyu nodded; he was quite satisfied with his eldest disciple.

If we set aside his identity as a deity of the Dao Palace and remove his lazy personality, the eldest disciple would have almost no shortcomings.

Moreover, even among the Dao Palace deities, Li Ruoyu could sense that his eldest disciple was not actually very old, but rather a true member of the younger generation.

Those who can achieve this are usually heirs of prestigious families in sacred lands.

He wouldn't stop them if they wanted to stay.

However, his second disciple hesitated.

Only when Li Ruoyu's gaze fell on his second disciple did he speak, saying that he was willing to stay.

“There’s no need to force yourself. You are different from your senior brother; your path lies further ahead. For now, just be an ordinary disciple of Zhuofeng. You can leave as you please in the future,” Li Ruoyu said.

The eldest disciple, Lu Hao, is a Dao Palace deity. Whether he stays or not will not affect his physical body's ability to move in the outside world.

On the contrary, it might not be a good thing for his second disciple to stay on Zhuofeng for so long.

Ye Fan hesitated for a long time after hearing this, but finally nodded. However, he told the truth that he had obtained part of the inheritance of Zhuofeng.

"That's alright. Your senior brother has obtained far more than you. Just don't spread these things around," Li Ruoyu said, not delving into the matter further.

"Let's go, let's select disciples. The Zhuofeng inheritance has appeared, and other peaks have sent people here," Li Ruoyu said.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Zhuofeng Mountain, a crowd of people had indeed gathered outside.

Tai Xuan Sect has always had a rule that one can change the sect of another peak after joining, but those who join Zhuo Peak cannot change the sect midway, which also explains the peculiarity of Zhuo Peak.

"Would you like to join Zhuofeng?" Li Ruoyu asked, looking at the group of people in front of him.

"We are willing!" A group of disciples nodded, their eyes filled with fervor.

On the contrary, the elders of the other peaks felt rather bitter at this moment. They had been ordered to send off their disciples, and seeing their original disciples go to other sects inevitably left them with a bitter taste in their mouths.

From the crowd, a mischievous girl rushed out, "Don't stop me, I want to go back to Zhuofeng! I'm the... the second senior sister of Zhuofeng!"

Li Ruoyu glanced at Ji Ziyue and nodded calmly.

This young girl's talent is undeniable; she would be more than qualified to join Zhuofeng.

However, the elders of Xingfeng reminded Li Ruoyu that this woman was from the Ji family and that he should not pass on his great magic.

“Those who wish to join Zhuofeng can sense the Qi of Zhuofeng here. If they gain something from it, they can join Zhuofeng,” Li Ruoyu said.

In the days that followed, the area around Zhuofeng Mountain was filled with people, all of whom came here to experience the energy of Zhuofeng and join Zhuofeng.

But Ye Fan was thinking about escaping because the Ji family had arrived!
P.S.: I'm posting one chapter first, the second one later, because my editor reminded me to release it at midnight. I'll guarantee at least five chapters a day, and try to update five chapters every day after it's released.
