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

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!"

Xiaoyao Peak, atop the mountain.

Shen Ming was practicing his boxing. When he threw a punch, cracks appeared in the white snow, which then poured down in a mighty torrent.

"hiss!"

Shen Ming was somewhat nervous, not expecting it to trigger an avalanche.

He wasn't worried about causing casualties; there was no one on or off Xiaoyao Peak.

The primordial spirits of the grotto dislike anything that disrupts the peace.

Fortunately, the Moon Spirit did not appear.

I haven't seen that little glutton since I got tired of Moonlight Elixir.

"The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist has similar destructive power to the Divine Elephant Collapse, but it can break through restrictions, phenomena, and laws."

Having realized this, Shen Ming focused his attention on improving his cultivation level.

He did not delay his progress and has already progressed from the early stage of the second level to the later stage.

Without encountering any bottlenecks, they made rapid progress all the way.

He was only one step away from achieving perfection, but that was because he didn't have enough cultivation resources.

Shen Ming has already used up all the rare and precious materials he obtained from the Floating Pagoda.

If those resources were given to someone else, with careful planning, they could at least cultivate to the fifth level.

Shen Ming's situation is special; he possesses an innate sacred body and Dao embryo, requiring resources that are incomparable to those of ordinary people.

Moreover, he was accustomed to an overbearing cultivation method.

For example, a single medicinal herb can be used to refine a batch of pills, which can then be taken in several doses.

Shen Ming immediately refined the spiritual medicine and absorbed it all.

The downside is that it causes waste, but the upside is that it saves time.

This anxiety stems from a goal that must be achieved in a short period of time.

Shen Ming knew the advantages and disadvantages, but in his view, there was no right or wrong.

In this world, we cannot pursue perfection, but rather find the path that suits us.

Shen Ming knew that he was not the type to make decisions or take things into account.

He is a pioneer, and his specialty is discovery!

Even if I run out of resources, I believe I can find more.

Suddenly, Shen Ming saw flying boats appear on the mountainside of Xiaoyao Peak, and the Mountain and River Token on his body emitted a series of sounds.

“Liu Ruyan has come to visit Shuiyue Cave.”

"Shu Ke has come to visit the Ice Cave Heaven."

“Huang Peng has come to visit the Wind Cave.”

"Ma Liang has come to visit the Fire Cave Heaven."

"..."

They were all senior disciples of the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens, disciples of the Third Realm of the Innate Stage.

Among them, Liu Ruyan and Ma Liang are both prominent figures in the top ten of the Fengyun List and the Tianyun List.

"The news travels really fast!"

Shen Ming assumed that the news of his breakthrough to the third stage of the Innate Realm had spread, and these people had come to congratulate him.

There is such a rule in the sect.

At this moment, more than a dozen airships are anchored in the air, waiting for the main character to appear.

"I will do my best, but Emperor Xuan will most likely not agree."

Liu Ruyan said, with her long, flowing hair, arched eyebrows, and bright, lively eyes.

"Sister Ruyan, you're so charming, I guarantee Shen Ming will agree."

The speaker was a boy named Nalan Yun, who was about the same age as Shen Ming.

Nalan Li's younger brother.

Liu Ruyan remained noncommittal; she had initially guided Shen Ming and his nine companions to the inner region.

At that time, Shen Ming declared that he would become the Divine Son of the Xuantian Sect, and in less than half a year, he was infinitely close to this goal.

Such a person would not agree to give up the top spot on the Hidden Dragon List.

Yes, all these people are here for the top spot on the Hidden Dragon List.

Shen Ming, who ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List, is highly sought after by many.

Outsiders who wanted to challenge them directly and vie for rankings were refused entry by the Xuantian Sect.

However, the disciples of Xuantian Sect are also ordinary people, and cannot escape worldly desires, coveting the top spot on the potential ranking.

In their eyes, Shen Ming was a Divine Treasure Realm expert.

Six months later, the Hidden Dragon Ranking was officially launched, with the entry threshold being the fifth level of the Yuantai Realm.

Isn't this a waste of opportunity?

As a result, the true disciples of the fifth level of the Xuantian Sect were eager to make their move.

Because Shen Ming shone brightly at the Xuan Tian Grand Ceremony, he first defeated Gu Changge, and then killed Zhou Mutian.

If they dare to directly challenge and steal the rankings, they will definitely incur public wrath.

Even if you become number one on the potential list, you won't be welcomed by anyone from the elders to the disciples.

However, in this world, as long as the person in question has no objection, no matter how indignant outsiders are, it's useless.

Today, they are approaching the matter with the intention of appealing to emotions and reasoning with the people.

Nalan Yun made his sister the number one on the Hidden Dragon List.

Unfortunately, her sister didn't care about these things, so she had no choice but to pull Liu Ruyan, who was close to her sister, along.

Liu Ruyan is intelligent and beautiful, and is the dream lover of many of her true disciples.

As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!

At this moment, Shen Ming appeared in everyone's sight.

Because he believed these people had come to celebrate his arrival, he smiled broadly and invited them into the mountains.

One after another, the airships landed on the ground, and nearly twenty people with fake smiles on their faces spoke words of flattery.

Shen Ming, with the attitude of welcoming guests, led everyone to an open space halfway up the mountain.

"I've already had someone prepare drinks. Please, fellow disciples, have a seat," Shen Ming said.

The Emperor Xuan was quite easy to talk to!

Everyone's confidence soared, and Ma Liang, who was ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking, spoke first: "Junior brother, thanks to you for bringing glory to the sect at the Xuan Tian Grand Ceremony, the Taiyi Sect was not able to succeed."

This is a ten-thousand-year-old warm jade, an extremely precious type of jade. Its nature is pure Yang, and it not only contains powerful spiritual energy, but wearing it can also ward off various cold and evil poisons, greatly benefiting the body of martial artists.

As he spoke, he took out a piece of beautiful jade with a warm and lustrous color. Its entire body was a light, milky white, with a faint, soft light flowing over it.

Upon seeing this, the others all stood up.

"Junior Brother Shen, this is the Immortal Ginseng, a ginseng doll born from the essence of heaven and earth. Consuming it can greatly enhance one's cultivation and prolong life."

"Junior Brother Shen, this is the Vermilion Fruit, a rare spiritual fruit. Its growing conditions are extremely demanding. It needs to be nurtured for a long time in a place rich in spiritual energy before it can ripen. After consuming it, it can rapidly increase a cultivator's power. It is a rare and precious treasure!"

"The Heavenly Fire Spirit Pearl is a precious pearl of extreme yang and heat, containing extremely powerful fire attribute power."

If a cultivator can obtain and refine it, not only can they enhance their fire-attribute techniques, but they can also use its power to resist the corrosive influence of yin and cold energy.

"..."

One by one, they eagerly displayed their treasures and secretly compared them.

hiss!

Shen Ming took a deep breath. Are all the disciples of the Xuan Tian Sect this generous?!

So many congratulatory gifts! It's like sending a pillow when you're sleepy. I should have asked Li Miaozhen to buy some snacks to go with the drinks.

"Thank you so much, senior brothers and sisters. I will remember this in my heart."

Shen Ming stood up, waved his hand, and accepted all the treasures.

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned; this process wasn't right.

Shen Ming shouldn't have asked them about the purpose of their gifts first.

Then, based on the treasure you desire, will you grant the gift-giver's request?

Why did you accept them all at once?!

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Shen Ming was puzzled by everyone's reactions.

"No no!"

Everyone shook their heads. If anyone tried to take the gift back now, they would definitely lose their chance at the spot.

They watched helplessly as Shen Ming put the rare and precious materials into his storage bag.
