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

"It's the Great Western King! He actually took action for Zheng Xuanfeng!"

Those familiar with the Panyue Dynasty recognized the voice, some recognizing it as the Great Western King's proudest divine power: the Heaven-Shaking Hand.

An attack from a fourth-level Dominator Realm expert was unstoppable.

Shen Ming opened his palm, and an exquisitely crafted palace appeared in his hand.

Like a dazzling pearl, it radiates a crystal-clear light.

It burst forth with dazzling light, the light seemingly containing boundless power, and the golden radiance rippled outwards like waves.

Eternal Divine Light!

Yun Yi and Ning Yue were dumbfounded. Just how many more surprises did Shen Ming have in store?

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, erupted as the eternal divine light struck the earth-shaking hand.

The two immediately turned into countless fragments that fell like raindrops, quickly dissipating under the light.

Huh? !

From the heavens and earth came the voice of the Great Western King, filled with surprise and doubt.

"State your name and tell me your relationship with the Eternal Academy!" the Great Western King demanded.

Before Shen Ming could answer, another strange phenomenon occurred in the heavens and earth. A dazzling light descended from the sky and condensed into a majestic figure.

Eternal Academy, Heavenly Palace Master, Nangong Tian!

Xuanhuang City was in an uproar once again, and even Li Weiyang was no exception. She only knew that Shen Ming was going to join the academy, but she did not expect that it would attract the help of the Heavenly Palace Master.

The phantom of the Great Western King appeared and engaged in a silent exchange with Nangong Tian.

Shen Ming and Zheng Xuanfeng were respectively within his illusory image.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zheng Xuanfeng hurriedly stuffed a healing pill into his mouth.

The injuries healed at a visible speed, and the atmosphere returned to normal, still filled with murderous intent.

He seemed eager to regain the face he had just lost.

He was severely injured by the heavenly tribulation lightning and almost died under Shen Mingjian's sword, but now it's different!

"Xuanfeng, come back."

Fifteen minutes later, the two kings reached some kind of consensus, and the Great Western King issued an order to disappear.

Zheng Xuanfeng was filled with resentment, but he didn't argue. With a wave of his hand, the Shence Army returned to the sky in battle formation.

"You won't be so lucky next time we meet."

Before leaving, Zheng Xuanfeng uttered a harsh threat and led the Shence Army away in a sorry state.

Shen Ming didn't take it seriously; it was uncertain who would be whose calamity the next time they met.

"I am Nangong Tian, ​​the Hall Master of the Eternal Academy and the Heavenly Palace. I am now setting up a temporary teleportation array. Come directly to the academy and get ready."

Nangong Tian's figure did not disappear; instead, he meticulously inscribed a teleportation array in the void.

It’s over!

Yun Yi and Ning Yue knew they would be punished if they went back.

"It's all your fault! You ruined such a great opportunity to befriend the Emperor's son!" Ning Yue complained.

“You didn’t refuse either,” Yun Yi retorted.

The people of Xuanhuang City were still in shock, many of them seeing such a scene for the first time.

They were filled with curiosity about Shen Ming. He must be a genius from their Xuanhuang Continent, but they had never heard of him before.

"It's alright. After today, Ming Sheng's name will spread throughout the Xuanhuang Continent!"

Shen Ming stood in the air, waiting for the teleportation array to complete.

He lowered his head, looked at the graceful figure above the city lord's mansion, and nodded slightly as a farewell.

Li Weiyang understood his gaze and knew that he didn't want to implicate her.

Suddenly, she removed her veil, revealing an exquisite face, like a delicate orchid blooming in the depths of time. A zither appeared out of thin air in her hand. She gently raised her fair hand, her jade fingers caressing the strings, and a melodious tune flowed out slowly.

The people in the city who had been discussing the matter stopped, turned their heads slightly, and listened to the melody.

"How daring!"

Cui Xiuying never expected that Li Weiyang, who usually kept men at arm's length, would dare to express her feelings in public like this.

However, looking at Shen Ming's figure, she felt it made perfect sense, and thought that if she had the chance, she would definitely do the same.

"Hmph, I'm not envious at all. I still have the position of Grand Master of the Palace to be." She thought sourly.

Upon hearing the music, Shen Ming was slightly moved, finally understanding what it meant to be overwhelmed by the kindness of a beautiful woman.

He doesn't force romantic relationships; he believes in letting things take their natural course.

He and Li Weiyang had only known each other for a short time and had not experienced anything together, so he could not understand each other's feelings.

"All right."

Nangong Tian's voice rang out again, and a teleportation array condensed in the void.

Shen Ming hesitated for a moment, patiently listening to the melody until the song ended, before entering the teleportation array.

Yun Yi and Ning Yue were about to follow, but the great formation immediately disappeared, and a stern voice rang in their ears: "You two go straight back to the Cliff of Repentance!"

"..." Yun Yi and Ning Yue started blaming each other again.

Li Weiyang put away her guqin, made up her mind, and landed at the city lord's mansion.

"Hey, he said he wanted me to be the next Grand Master of the Prefecture. You can't compete with me for it just because of your relationship with me," Cui Xiuying said hurriedly.

Unexpectedly, Li Weiyang simply packed her things and handed over the manor lord's jade token.

"I want to join the Creation Academy."

"Your spot has been taken..."

Cui Xiuying knew halfway through her sentence that there was no need to continue, as Li Weiyang had already made up her mind.

The Lord of Xuanhuang City, with the cultivation of the Sovereign Realm, rules over a region and has a continuous supply of source stones every day. It is a position that countless people dream of.

Having witnessed what had just happened, Cui Xiuying knew that being the lord of a city was far from enough.

"Then good luck to you."

Cui Xiuying naturally wouldn't stop her; with one less manor lord, she could earn one more source stone.

……

Eternal Academy, Heavenly Palace.

Nangong Tian exhaled a breath of turbid air. Even for a King-level expert, it was not an easy task to project and record the teleportation array across tens of millions of miles.

"Nine-colored Heavenly Tribulation, capable of severely injuring the Divine Strategy Army with Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, and unleashing Eternal Divine Light—could he really be the Emperor's son?"

Nangong Tian has already learned about what happened in Xuanhuang City.

With such talent, even if he wasn't the emperor's son, he could become a potential emperor's son.

"Should we postpone the dean's plan?"

Nangong Tian hesitated. Such a promising talent shouldn't be wasted so easily.

However, since the plan was decided by the dean, let's wait and see.

"Father, you even personally inscribed the teleportation array. Is he really the Emperor's son?"

Suddenly, a woman approached, wearing a light blue robe that accentuated her graceful curves, with snow-white skin and an air of delicate elegance.

"What imperial prince? Where did you hear that?" Nangong Tian asked.

"Hmph, everyone in the academy is talking about it," Nangong Qian said.

Nangong Tian frowned, inexplicably irritated.

Seeing that her father was unwilling to speak, Nangong Qian pouted. Just then, a figure walked out from the crack in the teleportation array.

"Dressed so shabbily?"

Nangong Qian frowned as her father followed suit. After three heavenly tribulations, Shen Ming's blue-gold battle armor was tattered and in ruins.

This greatly diminished Nangong Qian's first impression.

However, after Shen Ming came out, Nangong Qian's eyes lit up when she saw his face. She thought that this person was really unconventional and unique.
