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

Various forces have gathered along the coast, forming a considerable force.

Among them was Liang Mingxi, a prominent figure in the Northern Region and the leader of the Xuantian Sect.

The demonic sect gathered around a dark cloud, keeping their distance, and gazed towards the sea.

Finally, the nine-headed dragon appeared in their sight, and the Taiyi Treasure Vault glided on the sea surface, stirring up huge waves.

As it approached the shore, the nine-headed dragon ascended, retracted its lapis lazuli chains, and vanished into the clouds.

The Taiyi Treasure Vault, propelled by immense inertia, surged ashore, smashing countless reefs into dust.

The four large doors of the treasure vault opened again, and everyone remained vigilant, slowly approaching them.

Before they even reached the entrance, the people inside eagerly flew out and cheered upon seeing the land and the people outside.

During the movement of the treasure vault, the people inside noticed that the forbidden power of the Burial Sky Sea was disappearing, and guessed that someone was coming to their rescue.

"I thought I was going to die in there!"

Xuan Yuan and Xuan Jian came out together. Both were at the peak of the Supreme Realm and were still shaken after the danger they had just experienced.

"Xuantian Sect, assemble immediately!"

The two approached Liang Mingxi and took stock of the casualties.

The situation is not optimistic. Not only the Xuantian Sect, but all major sects, including the Demonic Sect, have suffered heavy casualties.

"Where is Emperor Xuanzong?"

Xuan Yuan and Xuan Jian, having not seen Shen Ming for a long time, were anxious to go in and search for him.

Liang Mingxi stopped them and gestured to a white cloud in the sky.

The two squinted, as if they could see the outline of a giant dragon.

Kowloon City offered to rescue them, but on the condition that the Taiyi Treasure Vault belonged to them and that no one who came out be allowed to go back in.

"Dragons have appeared in the world?!"

Xuan Yuan and Xuan Jian then realized what kind of power had rescued them.

The dragon race, a legendary and powerful race, has long since disappeared in the relentless passage of time.

Apart from the annual Dragon List, which is said to bring dragon energy, no real dragon has ever been seen in Kowloon City.

Now, the nine-headed dragon has flown across the northern region, deep into the Burial Sky Sea, and pulled out the Taiyi Treasure Vault.

The scale of this event was no less astonishing than their sect leader becoming the youngest Sovereign Realm expert and killing the Taiyi Sect Leader.

"A great era is truly dawning."

The two had no choice but to abandon their idea of ​​going in and anxiously looked at the four large doors of the Taiyi Treasure Vault.

As a result, Shen Ming did not appear for a long time.

They also received bad news: the true disciple Li Yingyi had died inside the treasure vault.

The news came from a disciple who came out with Li Xiaoluo.

They were with Shen Ming when the Nine Dragons dragged the Taiyi Treasure Vault.

"Why hasn't he come out?!" Xuan Yuan asked anxiously.

Li Xiaolu remained silent; deeply traumatized, she lost the ability to speak.

Another sect disciple present said, "At that moment, the treasure vault shook violently, and we felt like we were on a boat. We knew we were leaving the Burial Sky Sea. However, Xuan Tianzi didn't move with the treasure vault; he stood still and passed right through the wall when he made contact with it, just like..."

In the end, the man hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What?!" Xuan Yuan asked urgently.

“Just like the taboos of the treasure vault!” the man said, mustering his courage.

When the treasure vault left the Burial Sky Sea, the forbidden powers that overlapped within it remained in place.

However, how could the Xuan Emperor be a taboo?

"He must be entangled by forbidden power!"

Xuan Yuan and Xuan Jian were pale-faced, and they knew what that meant.

The next second, they saw Liang Mingxi get up and fly towards the sea.

"Headmaster!"

Xuan Yuan and Xuan Jian quickly stopped him.

“I think I can save one person,” Liang Mingxi said.

"Sect Leader, the Burial Sea is a forbidden zone for life. We have only managed to hold out for so long thanks to the treasure vault, and we almost perished here. If Shen Ming is entangled in the taboo, he is currently trapped in the sea and we will have no way to find him."

Xuan Yuan and Xuan Jian said urgently.

Among the Supreme Elders, they were the ones who cared most about Shen Ming.

They would take the risk even if there was only a sliver of hope.

But they knew in their hearts that, not to mention the time it would take to travel back and forth, Shen Ming was probably already gone.

If their sect leader were to perish in Zangtianhai, their Xuantian Sect would never recover.

"Identity Token! View Identity Token!"

Xuan Yuan suddenly felt unwilling and roared with bloodshot eyes.

The identity tokens of sect disciples can be used for location tracking, communication, and even determining whether someone is alive or dead.

As a result, the situation is not optimistic.

Shen Ming's identity token was gray, indicating that it could not be detected.

Instantly, the entire Xuantian Sect was ashen-faced. Xuan Jian sighed and lamented, having thought that Shen Ming would be the second sect leader, a sword cultivator who had mastered the Heavenly Sword Realm.

Liang Ming gazed towards the sea, remaining silent for a long time.

“He is a person with great opportunities; he will be fine,” he said.

Xuan Yuan and Xuan Jian were taken aback, wondering where this came from. Just now, their sect leader had been in a hurry to fight to the death.

"Should you go talk to Old Xu, or should I go?"

Xuan Yuan and Xuan Jian looked at each other, both with helpless expressions.

Even though he's an illegitimate child, I imagine Old Xu will still be sad.

When they returned to the Xuantian Sect, they learned that the Transmission Elder had just begun his life-and-death seclusion, no longer concerning himself with worldly affairs.

In life-or-death situations, it's especially important, and they can't easily deliver bad news.

……

The tragedy at the Taiyi Treasury caused a stir in the Northern Region, as it concerned every faction.

"The Taiyi Sect is truly ruthless; they're going to ruin an entire generation of the Northern Region!"

"I understand, I would have done the same."

"Thanks to Kowloon City, the nine dragons soared into the sky. To witness this scene in my lifetime is worth dying for!"

"Have you heard? The Xuan Tian Sect's Xuan Tianzi was killed inside, and seven or eight of the top ten spots on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are now vacant."

Everyone was saying that the Northern Region had been at peace for so many years, and there hadn't been such casualties in a long time.

The most amazing thing was the appearance of the nine-headed dragon.

Rumor has it that this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking is not just about receiving dragon energy; it also offers the chance to inherit the dragon clan's legacy!

"The Xuantian Sect has suffered a huge loss!"

People associate the Xuantian Sect with the fact that it suffered the greatest losses among all the forces.

Xuan Tianzi Shen Ming, ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List, and Li Yingyi, ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon List, both died in the treasure vault.

It is said that when Li Yingyi died, he was invaded by a forbidden evil spirit, lost his humanity, and went on a killing spree.

"That's not all. At that time, there was also a masked swordsman from the Xuantian Sect who fought against five opponents and defeated the five Demon Lords with a single sword strike. He also died inside!"

"I heard from someone that that person is the Xuan Emperor."

"Bullshit! How could Xuan Tianzi cultivate so quickly!"

Various accounts and rumors, told by different people, have evolved into different versions.

With information blocked and all parties preoccupied with their own problems, no one would bother to verify the truth, and rumors spread like wildfire.

……

At the same time, on the outskirts of the Burial Sky Sea, a figure broke through the water.

It was none other than Shen Ming.

He looked puzzled, not knowing what was going on.

They discovered that the Taiyi Treasure Vault was moving, indicating that a rescue operation was underway.

As a result, I found myself seemingly stripped out of the treasure trove and placed on a different level.

I watched helplessly as I passed through the wall and fell into the icy seawater.

As the treasure trove receded into the distance, a thousand words were reduced to a single sentence.
