I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Unlike the Northern Regions, the Western Regions are not dominated by numerous forces occupying the thirteen provinces.

The top powers in the Western Regions are only Little Western Heaven and Dao Sect.

Xiaoxitian has thousands of temples, with flourishing incense offerings and countless monks.

The Dao Sect has nine major Daoist schools, all following the laws of heaven and earth. Although their numbers are fewer than those of the Little Western Heaven, their strength is no less formidable.

Until ten years ago, Daozi converted to Buddhism, disrupting the balance in the Western Regions.

The Daoist sect suffered repeated defeats. Li Miaozhen, originally the daughter of the Celestial Master, one of the nine major Daoist sects, is now being held hostage by the Little Western Heaven under the guise of practicing both Buddhism and Daoism.

The blue lotus of the Floating Pagoda is a supreme treasure of the Daoist sect, and now it also belongs to Little Western Paradise.

Dao Zong was not content with this situation and wanted to find a new Daoist disciple.

Li Miaozhen felt that Shen Ming was the person she was looking for.

"Why me?" Shen Ming asked, puzzled.

“Inside the Pagoda, you can ignore the chanting of the Dharma Heaven and kill those he seeks to convert,” Li Miaozhen said.

"What's so difficult about that? Just ignore it and nothing will happen, right?" Shen Ming asked, puzzled.

The woman spoke of Buddhist salvation with lingering fear.

The problem is, he didn't find anything wrong with the Sanskrit chanting.

If I had to give a proper evaluation, the rhythm and melody are quite catchy.

"Is it enough to just ignore them?"

For a moment, Li Miaozhen didn't know what to say.

Is it something that can be resisted simply by ignoring it?

"The Emperor Xuan..."

“Miss Li, thank you for making me tea today, but I cannot agree to this request.”

Now, my Xuantian Sect is facing a formidable enemy, and the outcome remains to be seen.

Asking me to become a Daoist disciple and promise to save the Daoist sect in the Western Regions is unrealistic.

Shen Ming interrupted her and refused directly.

I asked out of curiosity.

"But……"

"No buts." Shen Ming's attitude was firm.

"The Pure Lotus is a treasure of my Daoist sect. It can help one cultivate the divine skills of my Daoist sect, such as the 'Origin Heaven Divine Awakening,' which can grant the Eye of Insight. When cultivated to its greatest extent, it can become the Heavenly Eye, allowing one to see directly the origin of all things."

Alternatively, it can serve as the source material for the Thunder Tribulation Battle Body, enhancing the power of thunder. Even without such talent, one can still cultivate the "Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique" and control lightning.

Or perhaps, cultivating the "Azure Lotus Twin Technique" could allow Xuan Tianzi to directly reach the Supreme Realm.

Li Miaozhen did not leave, and by the end, her bare feet seemed a little uneasy.

"Reaching the Supreme Realm in one step? Explain in detail." Shen Ming became interested.

The third realm of the innate stage is called the Yuantai Realm.

There are six levels in total, which are also divided into the early stage, middle stage, late stage and the Great Perfection.

Unlike the previous two realms, the Yuantai realm is special in that after reaching the Great Perfection, one can ascend to a high platform with their primordial spirit to comprehend the martial arts realm and condense the energy of heaven and earth.

Martial artists with special talents can create their own extraordinary phenomena.

It can be said that each of the six levels of the Yuantai Terrace has mysterious changes.

I've never even heard of a Daoist sect that can make someone reach the Supreme Realm in one step.

Upon hearing this, a shy blush appeared on Li Miaozhen's exquisite face.

This is a method of dual cultivation, which involves refining lotus seeds to create a Pure Blue Lotus.

Both sat cross-legged amidst the light emanating from the Pure Lotus, embarking on a mystical journey using the lotus's pure energy as a medium.

"...You're dreaming."

Shen Ming never expected it to be such an unorthodox cultivation method.

"The Green Lotus Seeds won't have their cultivation affected by having more people." Li Miaozhen thought he meant that having more people would cause them to absorb more energy from the Green Lotus Seeds.

“What I mean is, you actually want to cultivate with me,” Shen Ming said.

"..."

Li Miaozhen stared wide-eyed, her full breasts heaving rapidly, both ashamed and angry.

"I... I may have been taken hostage by the Buddhist sect, but I am still perfectly healthy. Xuan... Xuan Tianzi, how could you be so cruel!"

In his anger, he even stammered.

“Who cares about your intact body? I am engaged, how can I practice such a vulgar technique with you?” Shen Ming said.

"Is that why?"

Li Miaozhen could hardly believe it.

Suddenly, she came to her senses and realized that she hadn't said anything about wanting to cultivate together.

In all honesty, when she brought it up, she simply wanted Shen Ming to find other people to cultivate with.

She got Shen Ming into a trap!

……

Outside the cave, night had fallen.

Taiyi Immortal City replaced the sun and moon, illuminating the entire Xuantian Mountain Range.

The Taiyi Sect was arrogant and domineering. After the immortal city was lifted into the sky, they launched a series of attacks without any negotiation.

The auras of the two Sovereign Realm experts were like two giant dragons coiled in the sky, making it difficult for the creatures of the Xuan Tian Mountain Range to breathe.

The way they were acting made it seem like they were going to take down the Xuantian Sect in one night.

Unexpectedly, the Xuantian Sect neutralized every wave of attacks.

Currently, the protective shield of the Xuan Tian Mountain Protection Array is still steadily protecting the Nine Vein Spirit Peak.

Undeterred by the power of the Taiyi Sect, the Xuantian Sect sent its elders in turn, demonstrating their united resolve.

Taiyi Immortal City, inside the main hall.

"A mantis's arm is like a chariot, and he does not overestimate his own capabilities."

"The Taiyi Sect Leader said coldly."

Logically speaking, it's impossible to easily take down one of the top ten sects.

Even without Liang Mingxi, a young master at the Sovereign Realm, it wouldn't be surprising if the Xuan Tian Sect had survived this long.

Relying on the mountain-protecting formation and the treasure that guards the mountain, the three Supreme Elders of the "One" generation can all rival the Sovereign Realm.

The Taiyi Sect Leader was dissatisfied with the morale of the Xuantian Sect's soldiers.

"Prepare to break through the Void Flame Lightning! Smash their Heavenly Peak! Crush their will!"

The Taiyi Sect Leader gave the order.

The Taiyi Immortal City, which had been launching a fierce offensive, remained motionless.

Before the Xuan Tian Sect members could catch their breath, another dazzling light burst forth.

In an instant, flames and lightning intertwined and swirled in Taiyi Immortal City, resembling two raging dragons coiling around each other.

The power of fire and thunder surged and raged, each bolt of lightning carrying a scorching heat, and each ball of flame exuding an aura of destruction.

The raging fire and dazzling lightning complemented each other, making it as bright as day, and even the stars paled in comparison.

In the Xuan Tian Hall, the deputy sect leader Ren Fengqi frowned.

"Everyone says the Taiyi Sect is domineering, and seeing it today, it's truly the case." Ren Fengqi shook his head, his self-deprecating words revealing a resolute determination.

"The wind rises, are you ready?"

Elder Yili's tone was somewhat uneasy.

"Don't worry, Elder, I know who I am."

Ren Fengqi was no longer his usual calm and composed self; he was somewhat excited.

He spread his arms wide and said, "I am the Vice Sect Leader of the Xuantian Sect. My existence is for the Xuantian Sect, hahahaha!"

The elders in the main hall looked at each other, and then sighed in unison.

At this moment, fire and thunder intertwined, and the light was dazzling, threatening to devour the earth completely.

"fall!"

With a deafening roar, the fire and lightning descended with world-destroying power.

The Xuantian Sect erupted with a deep and resonant roar.

The voice seemed to pierce through space, carrying boundless majesty and power.

The Xuan Tian Bell soared into the sky, rising a thousand feet high against the wind, surrounded by a layer of dazzling golden light.

The Void-Piercing Flame Lightning slammed into the shield, the power of fire and lightning raging wildly, and the powerful shockwave spread to the horizon.

Lightning flashed and flames surged.

Everyone dared not express their anger.

In the end, the Xuan Tian Bell successfully withstood the Void-Breaking Flame Lightning.

A majestic figure is reflected in the sky, reaching out to hold up a thousand-foot-tall bell.

Xuan Tian Sect Leader Liang Mingxi!

"How dare you leave the mountain-protecting formation!"

"kill!"

Within the Taiyi Immortal City, the Taiyi Sect Leader and Yun Zhonghe, seeing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, charged out.
