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

The black hole continuously sucked in the flying swords of the sword formation, and even formed an invisible magnetic field around it, further interfering with the sword formation.

This is somewhat similar to Shen Ming's Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, which is specifically designed to break formations and restrictions.

"it is good!"

Shen Ming was in high spirits, finally meeting a worthy opponent in the Supreme Realm.

Before that, he realized how lonely it is to be invincible.

"Nine Heavens Mystic Lightning, transformed into divine thunder, its majestic heavenly might, drawn forth with the sword!"

At the critical moment, Shen Ming activated his sword formation.

The sword formation exploded in an instant, with thunderous force and dazzling light.

Ok?

Song Wanjian frowned, his face solemn. The sword technique he had just used could devour everything.

Now, the flying swords inside the black hole also exploded together.

Under the double attack, the black hole shattered.

The black and white flying swords were like wild horses that had run wild, galloping everywhere.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?!"

Song Wanjian's face paled slightly as he asked the same question Ji Jiu had asked earlier.

It's almost impossible that his black and white sword intent didn't break Shen Ming's sword style.

"The Limitless Sword Path encompasses everything."

Shen Ming knew why he was surprised and was not at all surprised by the result.

He realized this when the first flying sword entered the black hole.

"This is a difference in swordsmanship, not a difference in strength."

Ji Jiu was unwilling to admit this, but the swordsmanship of the Black and White Academy was called Yin-Yang Swordsmanship, one of the four major swordsmanships in the Central Region.

"Come again!"

Despite being thwarted in two consecutive rounds, Song Wanjian remained unconvinced and insisted on a third round of competition to test his martial arts skills.

Shen Ming was more than happy to further familiarize himself with the strength he had just gained from his breakthrough.

"Today is not the time for the two of you to determine a winner; it is the time for the two divine sons of the Northern Region to break through the barrier."

Just then, a Sovereign Realm expert appeared in the Divine Palace.

A man who looked to be around sixty years old, with gray hair and exceptionally thick eyebrows.

His posture was similar to Song Wanjian's, standing with his hands behind his back and his chin slightly raised.

His voice was deep and powerful, with heavy enunciation, exuding an air of authority.

This person is the current Dao Master of the Black and White Daoist Temple in Baidi City.

Song Que, the deputy head of the tenth hall of the Black and White Academy, is a cultivator at the late stage of the Sovereign Realm.

"Congratulations on passing through my Black and White Divine Palace."

Song Que squinted and slightly raised his chin as he spoke.

Song Wanjian reacted even more strongly than Shen Ming. If the person who said this was not his grandfather, but Elder Ji Jiu, he would never have agreed.

The third round hasn't even started yet, doesn't that mean he's bound to lose?

"His defense is stronger than his killing power. No matter what we compare in the third round, it will be a draw. He will still pass through the Divine Palace."

Song Que transmitted his voice, "You shouldn't have made a three-round agreement. If you had fought normally, he would have had the upper hand since he just broke through to a higher realm."

His words carried a hint of blame.

At this point, Song Wanjian was speechless.

“My Black and White Academy is not qualified to open a training ground in the Northern Region. We will return home soon,” Song Que added.

Shen Ming didn't care about this; his challenge to the Black and White Dojo was to retrieve the Thunder Sword Seal.

Now that things have come to a satisfactory conclusion, we don't care what decisions the Black and White Academy makes.

"My Black and White Academy has the 'Rebellious Classic,' which contains Yin and Yang, life and death, reality and illusion, and time and space."

The Yin-Yang Manual is the foundation of my Black and White Academy. If you are willing to join the academy, I can teach it to you directly.

Otherwise, you can only choose between the Life and Death chapter, the Reality and Illusion chapter, and the Time and Space chapter.

Naturally, such important techniques must be practiced at the Central Region Academy; you are not allowed to take them out.

This is Shen Ming's reward through the Divine Palace, and it's a rule of the Central Region.

"Not interested in."

Unexpectedly, Shen Ming showed no reluctance and said, "Let's stop here for today."

All three people present were taken aback.

Song Que couldn't help but wonder if Shen Ming had realized he was making excuses.

If you want to learn the Yin-Yang Manual, you must join the academy. But with what you've done today, you'll suffer the consequences.

The chapters on life and death, reality and illusion, and time and space require going to the headquarters of the Central Region Academy.

If Shen Mingzhen goes, everything will be beyond her control.

"Do you think I'm lying to you? My Central Region Academy is not a place where people break their promises," Song Que said with dissatisfaction.

"I said I'm not interested, farewell." Shen Ming was about to use his power to break free and leave the Divine Palace.

Firstly, it's too much trouble to go all the way to Zhongyu to learn.

The most important reason is that when he reaches the Sovereign Realm, he needs to cultivate the Four Extremes Scroll of the Jiang Family's "Eternal Universe Scripture".

"In the Northern Region, is this how juniors should treat their elders?"

With a flick of his sleeve, Song Que prevented Shen Ming from using his Breaking the Restriction skill.

He originally didn't want to pass on the academy's secret teachings, but Shen Ming's attitude was unbearable for him.

They didn't want to give it, but they also wanted to save face.

"This Yin-Yang Jade contains five ultimate sword intents; it's up to you to determine its fate."

After saying that, a crystal-clear jade pendant appeared from Song Que's sleeve.

"Ultimate sword intent?"

Shen Ming accepted the jade pendant; his interest in swordsmanship now far surpassed what it had been before.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in my mind.

"Sword intent is the integration of the power of heaven and earth into the sword intent."

My Black and White Academy possesses a divine object, a black and white dragon fish that reincarnates once every thousand years, traveling through the nine heavens and ten lands, observing the celestial scenery, and condensing into pieces of jade pendants.

Each disciple will possess this jade pendant, from which they will comprehend the essence of swordsmanship.

However, black and white arowanas are not human and occasionally make mistakes.

The five ultimate sword techniques are incredibly deceptive; no one has been able to comprehend them for centuries. Don't waste your time.

It was Ji Jiu reminding him.

Ji Jiu disapproved of the deputy hall master's behavior and secretly sabotaged the three gates behind the Divine Palace today.

Now, to put on a show of hypocrisy, he gave Shen Ming a tattered jade pendant containing the ultimate sword intent that had troubled the Black and White Academy for hundreds of years.

He finally couldn't resist anymore, and he wasn't afraid of being discovered.

The environment inside the academy is even more relaxed than that of a sect.

As a black-robed elder, the deputy hall master had no right to do anything to him unless the hall master intervened.

Shen Ming remained calm and did not reveal the existence of this kind senior to the deputy hall master.

Seeing that he had put the jade pendant away, Song Que nodded in a perfunctory manner and left with Song Wanjian.

Ji Jiu also opened the entrance to the Divine Palace, allowing Shen Ming to leave openly.

Outside, the noise was deafening, and it hadn't stopped since the two rounds of fighting between Shen Ming and Song Wanjian began.

The fact that Shen Ming, who had just survived the great tribulation of wind and fire, could fight Song Wanjian to such an extent was something that no martial artist in either the Central Region or the Northern Region had expected.

Song Wanjian has already reached the half-step Dominator Realm, and the path to the Supreme Realm has come to an end.

Shen Ming has only gone halfway; there's still half the room for improvement.

Unfortunately, Song Que stepped up in the third round.

"Mysterious Heavenly Son, will you compete for the Supreme Ranking?"

As soon as Shen Ming came out, someone couldn't wait to ask.

"The Northern Region Supreme Ranking is naturally led by the warriors of the Northern Region."

Shen Ming's words ignited the enthusiasm of all the cultivators in the Northern Region.

The people of Zhongyu were relieved; Shen Ming and Song Wanjian would have a real showdown, and then the winner would be decided.

Zhu Yuanbing's pretty face in the crowd looked ugly; Shen Ming's words were practically a declaration of his stance.

They will represent the Xuantian Sect and the White Emperor City in a battle to determine who is the leader of the Northern Region.

Unfortunately, if Shen Ming really becomes number one on the list, there's really nothing Baidi City can do.
