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

Shen Ming looked at Li Miaozhen, who remained silent.

Last time in the cave, Li Miaozhen described Buddhism as a monstrous flood and begged him to become a Daoist disciple.

If you agree, you can refine the Green Lotus Seed and learn a divine skill manual.

Shen Ming did not agree, for no particular reason.

Li Miaozhen's intention was to make him a Dao Child, so that he could receive secret cultivation from the Daoist sect and one day become a powerful expert in the Sovereign Realm.

Shen Ming felt that he could become a Sovereign Realm expert without needing a Daoist sect.

In addition, the Western Regions are far away, and they are unwilling to go through the trouble.

Li Miaozhen was unwilling to accept this and tried to persuade Shen Ming with the concepts of good and evil, arguing that becoming a Daoist meant standing on the side of justice.

Shen Ming was not buying it and did not believe that Buddhism was inherently evil.

The resources he used to cultivate to the first level of the Yuantai Realm were all obtained from the Floating Pagoda.

Aside from rambling on and spouting nonsensical Buddhist doctrines, Buddhism is pretty good.

He ignored Buddhist teachings and took things anyway.

If the monk Fatian knew what he was thinking, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, Li Miaozhen remained silent, her delicate face revealing neither joy nor anger.

She was a hostage; those unaware of the situation might mistake her for a decorative vase brought by Xiao Xitian.

She hesitated whether to remind the Emperor Xuan.

The golden body that the monk Wuhua conjured was not his own manifestation, but rather a result of a relic.

Those relics originated from a highly accomplished monk who attained the state of mastery through meditation.

The lotus world in the palm of your hand contains the profound meaning of "its size is boundless and its smallness is limitless." Being in it is like being in an endless world, and it is impossible for someone at the innate realm to leave.

Li Miaozhen didn't understand why the monk Fatian was going to such lengths.

After much deliberation, she chose to remain silent.

Firstly, with the monk Fatian nearby, she would notice her warning.

Secondly, since Shen Ming resolutely refused to become a Dao Child last time, she had no reason to remind him.

“My Lord Xuan, please,” said the monk Fatian.

Shen Ming leaped into the air and jumped towards the pure white lotus flower.

As he approached, the lotus blossomed, its petals unfolding one by one, each petal like a separate space, layer upon layer, like a kaleidoscope.

In a daze, Shen Ming found himself in a space where there was no top above and no bottom below.

"Wonderful!"

Shen Ming gave a thumbs-up.

Originally, this lotus flower was less than half the size of his body, but unexpectedly, it contained a vast universe within.

Looking up slightly, one can see most of the golden body of the monk Wuhua, whose narrow, half-open eyes are staring at him.

“Begin,” said the monk Fatian.

The golden statue raised its hand and flipped its palm, its five fingers forming a mountain that was about to suppress Shen Ming.

Monk Fatian smiled as he thought of his master's teachings when he was a young monk.

If you can't listen to Buddhist teachings, then use your fists and palms!

At this moment, it's no longer a matter of whether Shen Mingyuan wants to listen or not!

He was essentially trapped within the formation.

The Lotus World is a boundless world; no matter which direction you flee in, you cannot see the end.

This is not a strange phenomenon of the monk Wuhua; it is the use of relics!

It was cleverly concealed, and Elder Xuan Yuan, who was standing nearby, did not notice.

The monk Fatian's journey to the northern regions was to obtain the Reincarnation Disc of the Yellow Springs Map and to create the Eight-Part Pagoda as his natal magic weapon.

The Yellow Springs Map is the Heavenly Demon Battlefield of the Xuantian Sect.

Not long ago, the monk Fatian received news that the Xuantian Sect would face a great calamity, with the Heavenly Demon Battlefield collapsing and countless Heavenly Demons breaking free.

The Wheel of Reincarnation and the Bridge of Helplessness in the Yellow Springs Map will become ownerless.

With the intention that "this thing is destined for me", the monk Fatian led his Buddhist disciples to participate in the Xuantian Grand Ceremony.

As a result, Xuantian Sect not only escaped disaster, but also caused him to lose everything.

He was truly unwilling to return to Xiaoxitian and wanted to make one last desperate attempt!

At this moment, the golden Buddha's hand flips halfway, and the five-fingered mountain is about to fall to the ground.

Without warning, Shen Ming burst out of the void, broke free of the Lotus World, and returned to the outside world.

He looked completely calm and collected, as if he had done something trivial.

The monk Fatian was already planning his next move when he suddenly saw him, and his pupils contracted sharply.

They just came out like that?!

The haggard face of the monk Wuhua became ferocious, and his golden statue swayed precariously.

This Buddhist disciple was unaware of his master's plan and simply considered this a journey of seeking truth.

Now, the poor Buddhist disciple has not only failed to overcome the demonic obstacles, but is also on the verge of developing inner demons.

The monk Fatian quickly began reciting scriptures to calm the Buddhist disciple's mind.

The monk Wuhua closed his eyes, as if he were asleep.

The golden body maintained by the relics is still intact. If the Xuantian Sect had enough understanding of Buddhism, they would have been able to see the clues at this time.

"May I ask, Mysterious Emperor, how did you get out?" asked the monk Fatian.

"Break free from the restrictions," Shen Ming said.

"What does it mean to break the ban and go out?"

"It's a secret technique from the Forbidden Word Technique."

I did feel dizzy for a moment when I was in a world of layers upon layers of lotus flowers.

On second thought, no matter how mysterious the lotus world may be, it is ultimately just a strange phenomenon of the monk Wuhua.

He possesses an innate sacred body and Dao embryo, ignoring any unusual phenomena and unafraid of the laws of the Great Emperor.

With this belief in mind, take a step forward and leave the lotus world.

Is there such a saying in the "forbidden word technique"?

The monk Fatian found it hard to believe that the golden body that the relic manifested was of a level comparable to that of the lotus world he himself had created.

In other words, even he, a Sovereign Realm expert, couldn't restrain this third-stage Innate Realm cultivator?

"That's it, Master, I think it's good."

Seeing the other party's worried expression, Shen Ming, fearing that the other party might try to renege on the deal, began to demonstrate himself.

He plunged headlong into the lotus world and disappeared before the monk Fatian's eyes.

The next second, it reappeared.

"..."

The monk Fatian was in turmoil, unable to discern the slightest clue.

One Liang Mingxi is one thing, but this Xuan Tianzi is even more sinister!

Seeing this scene, Li Miaozhen could hardly contain herself, her breathing became rapid. This Xuan Tianzi was the natural enemy of Buddhism. If he could become a Daoist, he would definitely be able to turn the tide.

At this moment, even if Shen Ming asked to cultivate the "Azure Lotus Twin Technique" with her, she would agree, as long as she was willing to become a Dao Child.

"Master, a bet is a bet," Elder Xuan Yuan reminded him.

"Regardless of winning or losing, no matter the outcome, I have decided to pass on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist."

The monk Fatian took a deep breath, put his hands together, and tried to remain calm.

"If you feel sorry for someone, just cry it out. Don't force yourself to hold it in."

For some reason, Elder Xuan Yuan felt incredibly pleased to see Monk Fa Tian suffer a setback.

Serves you right for provoking this monster!

The monk Fatian took out a kasaya covered with densely written scriptures, which was the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist".

Elder Xuan Yuan took it and said, "Don't rush to cultivate. Wait for the sect's testers to confirm its authenticity."

The monk Fatian was trying to say that he was standing right next to him and didn't even know how to be discreet when he said such things.

Thinking of those crazy test-takers, Shen Ming said, "Elder, I am for everyone, and everyone is for me. What difference is there between me and them? I will be the first test-taker."
