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

Shen Ming arrived at Song Shuqing's cave dwelling, his mood heavy.

Upon receiving the news, he rushed to visit her immediately.

No wonder his senior brother didn't discuss the fourth step with him; it turns out there was such a risk involved.

He went mad and lost his mind.

My senior brother risked his life; his spirit is commendable.

The thought of himself naked, swimming like a fish in mid-air, might make him flee immediately and never return to the Northern Region.

"Senior Brother Song, I've come to see you."

Shen Ming entered Senior Brother Song's cave.

Song Shuqing lay motionless on the bed, her eyes wide open, and the right corner of her mouth twitching.

Senior Brother Song is paralyzed on one side!

Shen Ming was fortunate that cultivators had special physical constitutions and only needed to lie in bed for a few months to recover.

When his senior brother saw him arrive, he seemed very happy and shakily raised his right hand, as if to point at him.

"Senior brother, don't worry, leave the rest to me. I will master the Skywalking Step, no matter how dangerous it may be." Shen Ming grasped his senior brother's hand, his face full of sincerity.

Song Shuqing's chest heaved rapidly as she stared intently at him.

Especially when Shen Ming mentioned You Tianbu.

It was intentional, that kid definitely did it on purpose!

"Senior brother, don't get agitated. Trust me, I'll master the Skywalking Step and then share my insights with you." Shen Ming assumed that his senior brother was simply unwilling to accept defeat.

Upon hearing the sharing of experiences, Song Shuqing recalled the scene of her death in the company yesterday, her vision went black, and she fainted.

My senior brother fell asleep contentedly.

Shen Ming couldn't help but think that he shouldn't stay and disturb them, and left with high morale.

He must master the fourth step to give his senior brother an explanation!

Before that, the sixth barrier must be broken.

A month and a half later, the winter solstice arrived.

A solemn and tranquil atmosphere permeated the space between heaven and earth, and the sky appeared even higher and more austere.

Inside the sect, however, things were in full swing.

The highly anticipated selection of true disciples is about to begin.

Ninety-seven true disciples signed up for the Nine Peaks Spiritual Sect.

Ultimately, only nine people were able to become true disciples.

The selection process is different from previous years. The Xuantian Sect has learned from the lessons of Longmen Mountain and wants to ensure absolute safety.

Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Battlefield was chosen.

The Heavenly Demon Battlefield is a small world created by the Xuan Tian Sect.

For hundreds of thousands of miles, there lies a mountainous region with complex terrain, teeming with countless treacherous demons.

The inner disciples were unable to deal with the Heavenly Demons, so there were no Heavenly Demons on the battlefield during the selection process.

Ninety-seven inner disciples were randomly teleported to various parts of the battlefield to engage in fierce competition.

"A 100-player battle royale?"

Upon hearing the details of the selection process, Shen Ming subconsciously thought of it.

They entered the Heavenly Demon Battlefield empty-handed, searching for weapons on the battlefield.

Every hour, the battlefield area shrinks, forcing inner disciples to meet.

There's an element of luck involved, such as not being able to find a suitable weapon or encountering a formidable enemy as soon as you enter.

However, fortune is also part of the struggle for power.

"If that's the case, then my choice of 'Wandering in the Sky' is correct."

On the battlefield of the Heavenly Demons, he could advance or retreat at will, thanks to his top-notch agility.

At this moment, his cultivation level has undoubtedly reached the sixth level of the Profound Gate.

In fact, he has not encountered any bottlenecks since he began cultivating.

The same applies to martial arts; he successfully mastered the fourth step.

Shen Ming did not forget his promise and went to Senior Brother Song's cave.

……

After more than a month of rehabilitation, Brother Song is now able to get out of bed and walk around. His facial muscles have returned to normal, though they are still a bit stiff.

In Shen Ming's view, this was extremely rare.

Hemiplegia means that the brain has suffered irreversible damage, and the normal person will have to rely on others for care for the rest of their life.

Unlike cultivators, they can recover little by little.

Song Shuqing stood in the open space. Today, the sun was shining brightly, making it warm and very comfortable.

This moment is quite beautiful...

Just as Song Shuqing was thinking this, he heard the sound he least wanted to hear.

"Senior Brother Song, I've arrived."

Shen Ming strode towards him.

Don't come here! ! !

Song Shuqing instinctively stepped back. In his opinion, this junior brother Shen appeared honest on the surface, but was actually incredibly cunning.

Even he is no match for them!

“Senior brother, I have mastered the Skywalking Step. I will definitely shine during the selection,” Shen Ming said.

Song Shuqing's lips twitched, startling him into thinking that his mouth was starting to twist.

Senior Brother Song can't speak yet.

Thinking of this, Shen Ming proved it with his actions by using the Skywalking Step in front of Senior Brother Song.

The "Wandering the Sky Steps" is the fourth step, bridging the past and the future, and represents a qualitative leap.

After watching for a short while, Senior Brother Song was filled with shock and disbelief.

It has to be admitted that Shen Ming is really quite capable.

Just watching him inspired him a lot; if it weren't for his physical limitations, he would have gone along too.

"Senior brother, these are my summaries of insights. You can use them to practice."

Shen Ming read through his reflections, and seeing that Senior Brother Song remained silent, he decided not to disturb him any further.

Despite her inner resistance, Song Shuqing still wrote down every word of her insights.

"With his exceptional talent, there's no reason for him to lie to me. Could it be that I really practiced incorrectly last time?"

Once the idea took hold, it became unstoppable.

He silently recited his insights in his mind, trying to grasp the profound meaning behind each word.

"Hahaha, I get it!"

A few days later, Song Shuqing threw away his crutches and limped wildly, his clothes falling off one by one.

……

Shen Ming was unaware of this, as his mind was focused on selecting a true disciple.

On this day, he arrived at Xuantian Square to gather.

Whenever a major event occurs, it is always held at Xuantian Square.

Including Shen Ming, there were thirteen disciples who registered for Tongtian Peak, including both men and women.

Among the outstanding individuals are Zhang Haoran, Fang Qingxue, and Gu Qing, all of whom are at the late stage of the Profound Realm.

There are also people like Shen Ming, who are at the peak of the mid-stage of the Profound Gate Realm, which is the sixth Profound Gate.

However, Shen Ming is still the most special one.

Because he was the only one among the ninety-seven disciples who joined the disciples program immediately after entering the sect.

His contemporaries, such as Xiao Chen, only watched the excitement from the sidelines of the square.

"Try to make sure that my Tongtian Peak disciples survive to the end. If you encounter them on the battlefield early on, don't fight. If you can help, then help."

Luo Cheng, the chief disciple of Tongtian Peak, spoke with the same seriousness and meticulousness as always.

For some reason, after the last sentence was spoken, all the disciples looked at Shen Ming.

Although Shen Ming's cultivation level has caught up, his martial arts skills are definitely inferior to others.

Even if he has a high level of martial arts skills, he lacks practical combat experience.

In conclusion, Shen Ming definitely has the disadvantage of not having enough time.

Shen Ming paused for a moment, then, seeing the gazes of the Tongtian Peak disciples, said solemnly, "Don't worry, everyone. If we meet on the battlefield, I will do my best to help you."

Not buddy!

Is that what you mean?

Fang Qingxue couldn't help but chuckle. Shen Ming looked serious, not like he was joking.

"To attract attention."

Zhang Haoran snorted coldly, making no attempt to hide his disdain.

Gu Qing looked at Shen Ming with great interest and gave him a thumbs up.

Chief disciple Luo Cheng was taken aback by Shen Minglai's remark and was momentarily speechless.
