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

Three months later, the day of the Imperial Ceremony arrived.

As dawn breaks, the sunlight shines upon the majestic academy, as if draping it in a shimmering golden veil.

The entire academy was immersed in a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Above the sky, guests from all directions flowed like rivers into the sea.

Sword cultivators flew on their swords, cutting through the sky and leaving behind dazzling streaks of light and shadow.

A cultivator stood on auspicious seven-colored clouds, surrounded by auspicious energy.

There were also countless cloud ships, all belonging to disciples from various factions dressed in uniform.

A huge platform has been erected for the Eternal Academy.

The ceremony had not yet begun, the academy had not yet activated its grand formation, and the guests remained in the sky.

"It's a bit rudimentary; three months is too short a timeframe."

"The Eternal Emperor's Son came from the lower realm. It seems he received some kind of inheritance and had no other choice but to do this."

"A cultivator from the lower realms? That's truly a meteoric rise!"

They discussed this extraordinary, eternal prince who had appeared out of nowhere. Even before this, various rumors had been circulating from the academy.

However, no one at Eternal Academy knew what was going on, and there were many different opinions, which aroused curiosity.

"The teams from Creation Academy and Divine Cliff Academy have arrived!"

Two cloud ships appeared at the same time, and those with sharp eyes recognized them as belonging to the two major academies.

The relationship between Creation and Divine Edge was neither good nor bad, but now they have a common enemy who has arrived at the same time.

A series of divine senses swept over the two cloud ships, wanting to know who the disciples were, apart from the elders leading the group.

This is the biggest highlight of today's ceremony; both academies will definitely send disciples to challenge them.

"It's Ye Yuhui and Chu Xuan!"

They are all outstanding and exceptional individuals.

When Ye Yuhui was at the first level of the Sovereign Realm, he was invincible and no one could defeat him.

Chu Xuan, who won the championship in the Earth-level Hunting Battle, is a ruthless and decisive killer, and is considered a tough character by many.

Many people were eager to see the Eternal Prince.

Soon, a group from Eternal Academy came to greet them, specially to welcome the teams from Creation and Divine Cliff Academy.

Other factions had no objections and did not feel that they were being treated differently, because this was a preventative measure taken by the Eternal Academy.

"That's Lu Chen from Eternal Academy!"

If Ye Yuhui is the representative disciple of the Creation Academy, then Lu Chen is the representative disciple of the Eternal Academy.

Lu Chen was tall and slender, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes; his temperament and appearance were both first-rate.

"Senior Brother Lu Chen, I just received the news. I thought the Imperial Prince was you."

Ye Yuhui waved his jade fan, his every move resembling that of a noble young master.

Lu Chenda and his generation had reached the third level of the Sovereign Realm much earlier, so Ye Yuhui would have to call him Senior Brother.

However, Ye Yuhui clearly didn't have much respect for Lu Chen, feeling that he was born a few decades earlier and could surpass him.

Lu Chen glanced at him, his gaze icy, and said in a cold voice, "Junior Brother Ye, if you focus your mind on your own cultivation level, you'll avoid being killed the next time we meet."

"Then Senior Brother Lu should wait for Junior Brother and not rush to break through to the next realm, lest he die under the heavenly tribulation."

The atmosphere between the host and the guest was so heated right from the start, but considering the relationship between the two academies, it wasn't surprising.

Despite the disciples' behavior, the elders remained restrained, knowing it was the calm before the storm.

Suddenly, the calm sea of ​​clouds began to churn.

A dazzling golden light, like a burning star, hurtled forth from the depths of the endless sky.

The outline of a huge cloud ship gradually emerged, its hull radiating a dazzling golden glow.

The bow of the cloud ship resembles a golden phoenix spreading its wings, its head held high as if looking down at the earth.

The light spread out in all directions like surging golden waves.

Those below the Dominator Realm had to raise their hands to shield their eyes, but the light still pierced through their fingers like sharp swords, stinging their eyes and causing tears to blur their vision.

To dare to make such an appearance, unafraid of offending various forces, naturally means one has an extraordinary background.

Panyue Dynasty, Great Western King!

In an instant, people from all sides rushed forward to pay their respects, including the host of the Eternal Academy.

Finally, everyone invited to the golden cloud ship was very excited, as if they had received some kind of honor.

However, the Great Western King was not on the golden cloud ship; only the Queen and Princess Yuehua remained in the ship's tower.

Because of the Moon Emperor, members of the Panyue Dynasty's royal family all have the character "moon" in their names.

Princess Yuehua wore a magnificent golden gown, the hem of which was embroidered with exquisite phoenix patterns in gold thread, as if flames were burning within it, shimmering with her movements.

She had a tall and slender figure, her shoulders were as graceful as if they had been sculpted, her face was absolutely gorgeous, and her skin was as white as snow.

"Where is the Emperor's son? Where is the Eternal Emperor's son?" Princess Yuehua asked.

“Your Highness, the Imperial Prince will only appear when the ceremony begins,” Lu Chen said.

"Is the Eternal Emperor's son really from the lower realm?" Princess Yuehua asked again.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around him varied.

The term "cultivator from the lower realm" carries a derogatory connotation, and for a long time, the outer battlefield looked down on cultivators from the lower realm.

However, as more and more cultivators from lower realms attained significant status and strength, such voices diminished considerably.

People of high standing respect themselves and disdain attacking others' backgrounds.

Princess Yuehua didn't mean to belittle anyone; instead, she was full of curiosity, implying that cultivators from the lower realms could indeed become Eternal Emperors!

She herself did not realize that this was a denigration, but it was precisely the most serious denigration.

"Yes." Lu Chen said somewhat awkwardly.

Seemingly realizing her slip of the tongue, Princess Yuehua said, "I was just curious, my father's disciple also came from the lower realm."

It would have been better not to say anything, because saying anything only made things more obvious and created an awkward atmosphere.

“The Eternal Emperor’s son is indeed from the lower realm, and he’s from the same hometown as me.”

Zheng Xuanfeng, the commander of the Shence Army, came out to ease the tension and draw attention to himself.

"oh?!"

Everyone immediately put aside their awkwardness and inquired about the Eternal Emperor's son.

"The first level of the Sovereign Realm is nothing to mention; he almost died at my hands," Zheng Xuanfeng said coldly, his eyes filled with resentment.

He came from the lower realm, became a disciple of the Great Western King, and became a regional leader, making him the pride of the Xuanhuang Continent.

Then Ming Sheng suddenly appeared, rising to the top in one step and becoming the Eternal Emperor's Son, which made him feel unbalanced.

"Do you have a grudge against the Eternal Emperor's son?" someone asked curiously.

“Yes, he killed his own clansmen,” Zheng Xuanfeng said.

"Then why didn't you kill him? How almost did you kill him?" The question came from Chu Xuan of Shenya Academy.

"As I just mentioned, it was Eternal Academy that acted in time."

“You are at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, while he is at the first. In an instant, you can kill him a hundred times over,” Chu Xuan said.

Zheng Xuanfeng curled his lip. Was he supposed to say that he was the one who almost died?

If it weren't for the animosity between Shenya Academy and Yongheng Academy, he would have suspected that Chu Xuan was speaking up for Shen Ming.

Chu Xuan was purely curious. He was ruthless and couldn't stand the idea of ​​'almost killing'; that was just an excuse for a good-for-nothing.
