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

The Northern Region, Kowloon City.

Under the azure sky, a spaceship soars through the waves.

The ship has a long, narrow hull with a metallic texture, and huge sails that resemble white clouds.

On the deck, passengers looked ahead excitedly, hoping to catch a glimpse of the walls of Kowloon City.

"I am the Xuan Tianzi. I am not actually dead. I have returned from the Burial Sky Sea. Believe me, come to my room tonight to hear the story of my triumphant return."

A fair-skinned, slightly chubby boy in white was shouting loudly.

His companions couldn't help but laugh, some even bursting out laughing.

Throughout the journey, they kept discussing the Hidden Dragon List.

I felt quite saddened and also found it dramatic that Shen Ming, who was ranked first, died in the Burial Sky Sea.

The boy in white used this as a joke to amuse others and gain attention.

What the young man in white didn't know was that among those gazes, one was rather unusual.

You are Shen Ming, then who am I? Shen Ming sat on the railing, with the magnificent blue sky and white clouds behind him.

After landing, Shen Ming originally planned to return to the Xuantian Sect, but he found that the journey was long and would take one or two months without the teleportation array.

Kowloon City was closer, so Shen Ming planned to participate in the Hidden Dragon Competition first, find the sect members there, and then teleport back together.

With the upcoming opening of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, spaceships from all over the world are heading to Kowloon City.

The ship Shen Ming is currently on will arrive in Kowloon City before noon.

"Who is Shen Ming?!"

A cool female voice interrupted the laughter on the deck.

Immediately afterwards, a pretty young woman walked out, her footsteps making a thumping sound on the deck.

A layer of anger shrouded his delicate brows and eyes, and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was full of dissatisfaction.

Her figure was graceful, and her long dress trailed on the ground. The dress was made of pure white, like the first snow, and was embroidered with a magnificent floral scene with silk thread, each flower lifelike.

"The Palace of a Hundred Flowers, where flowers and moonlight abound!"

The other people on deck recognized the woman.

Seeing her furious expression, the joking young man in white involuntarily stepped back.

"Miss, I was just joking," the boy in white said with a bitter face.

"Slap yourself. I need to hear the sound. Three slaps!" Hua Yuexi said coldly.

The young man in white was both ashamed and angry, and none of his companions who had been laughing with him just moments before offered a word of support.

Clearly, this Hua Yuexi is not someone to be trifled with.

Helpless, the boy in white started slapping himself in the face.

“If it doesn’t make a sound, it doesn’t count,” Hua Yuexi said.

"Miss Hua, you've gone too far!" The young man in white blushed, and with so many people watching, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

clap clap clap!

Without saying a word, Hua Yuexi stepped forward and slapped the white-clad boy several times, turning his head into a pig's head.

"Never let me hear the name Shen Ming again."

Hua Yuexi then walked back to the cabin, leaving everyone with her back turned.

This scene amazed Shen Ming. He was certain he didn't know this Hua Yuexi and didn't understand why.

He didn't intend to take any action; someone who jokes about life and death to amuse others wasn't worth taking action against.

The young man in white was too ashamed to stay on the deck any longer and slunk away.

"Brother, why does this disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace harbor such resentment towards Emperor Xuan?" Shen Ming asked the person watching the commotion.

"Oh? You didn't know?"

The man immediately said, "The Hundred Flowers Palace is a second-tier power, affiliated with the Taiyi Sect. When Zhou Mutian was ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List, he was the perfect young master in the hearts of the female disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace. In particular, Hua Yuexi admires Zhou Mutian, and their relationship is extraordinary."

He lowered his voice again and said that Zhou Mutian died mysteriously in the Pagoda of Floating Pagoda, and the entire Hundred Flowers Palace was very dissatisfied with Shen Ming winning the top spot on the list.

You could tell how dissatisfied they were just now.

Shen Ming chuckled to himself. He had almost forgotten about Zhou Mutian, but he didn't expect the outside world to care so much about him.

"How should I address you, junior brother?"

After speaking, the person politely inquired.

"Shen Ming," Shen Ming replied truthfully.

"...Haha, Junior Brother is so witty. Just be careful that the one from Hundred Flowers Palace doesn't hear this."

Shen Ming shook his head; no one would believe him if he told the truth these days.

"We've arrived in Kowloon City!!!"

At this moment, the person standing on the sail shouted loudly, and everyone came to the deck.

I was immediately drawn to the magnificent city walls.

The city wall resembles a sleeping dragon lying across the earth, with huge stones tightly stacked together, each stone bearing the marks of time and the weight of history.

The city wall soars into the clouds. Looking up, one can only see the upper edge of the wall hidden in the swirling clouds and mist, giving people a sense of awe as it pierces the sky.

"The walls of Kowloon City are indeed extraordinary. I wonder why they were built so high!" someone muttered to themselves.

In the world of martial artists, there is no difference between a ten-meter city wall and a hundred-meter city wall; those at the Yuantai realm can leap over it in one go, and those at the Supreme realm can easily defeat it.

The city walls were primarily used by rulers to manage population and trade.

The exaggerated city walls of Kowloon City baffled them.

"In ancient times, gods and demons were as tall as mountains and could not fly."

A middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, making this clear to those around him. He was dressed in royal robes and stood out from the other passengers.

Some people recognized him as the tutor of an emperor from a certain dynasty, someone who was very knowledgeable and often showed off his erudition along the way.

Earlier on the ship, when some people were discussing whether there were real dragons in Kowloon City, the Imperial Tutor looked inscrutable and said with certainty, "I have seen dragons."

Now, when people talk about gods and demons, no one knows whether it's true or false, but no one refutes it either.

"what is that?!"

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky above Kowloon City.

In the distant sky, a dragon roared forth.

The dragon's body coiled and swirled above the vast sea of ​​clouds, shimmering with a dazzling golden light.

"Is it a real dragon or some strange phenomenon?!" someone exclaimed, widening their eyes, trying to figure it out.

Immediately afterwards, another colorful phoenix spread its wings and flew in from the splendid sunset.

The phoenix is ​​adorned with colorful feathers: red like fire, blue like the deep sea, green like jade, purple like a dream, and orange like the warm sun. Its tail feathers unfold like a magnificent painting in the sky.

The colorful phoenix danced gracefully, showering down a shower of colorful flowers wherever it went, its rich fragrance filling the air.

“Now, when those listed on the Hidden Dragon List come to Kowloon City, there will be auspicious signs of dragons and phoenixes. Demon General Li Tianxing has three dragons and two phoenixes, but he is not the most powerful. Ji Xuan of the Ji family has five dragons and five phoenixes, which is the most powerful,” the Imperial Tutor said.

The dragon and phoenix just now indicate that another prodigy has arrived in Kowloon City.

Even though no one knew who it was, it was enough to make the lively people on the ship yearn for it.

Suddenly, Shen Ming felt a stirring in his heart, as if he were connected to Kowloon City, and the cyan bead on his body trembled slightly.

"Another strange phenomenon has occurred!"

The people on the ship immediately noticed an even more exaggerated commotion in the sky above Kowloon City.

Nine auspicious dragons and nine colorful phoenixes roared out!

Thousands of auspicious colors and countless rays of light illuminated the entire world!

"They're coming this way!"
