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

"It's finally over!"

On Xuantian Square, all the disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

It was wonderful, but after five hours from morning to afternoon, my neck was sore.

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to participate in next year's selection of true disciples," Xiao Chen said.

"Me too!"

Chu Tian and Lin Fan immediately echoed.

The fact that Shen Ming, who started at the same time as them, is shining brightly today has deeply inspired them.

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Battlefield began to close, and nine beams of light landed in the center of the plaza.

The figures of Shen Ming and his nine companions came into view.

A deafening roar of cheers erupted immediately, almost entirely directed at Shen Ming, while the other eight people were relegated to the sidelines.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Shen, on your promotion to a true disciple."

Liu Qianqian approached Shen Ming under everyone's gaze.

Today she was dressed to the nines, looking beautiful and charming, and her voice was incredibly sweet and alluring.

She should have addressed Shen Ming as "Senior Brother," but she deliberately called him "Junior Brother" to show how close they were.

Xu Lingyue, who was in the distance, thought about how she had initially misunderstood Shen Ming and interfered with the development of the two of them.

To some extent, it did indeed ruin Liu Qianqian's chances of finding a partner.

Wait a minute, Xu Lingyue thought of Shen Ming's serious rejection of her, saying that he already had a fiancée.

Why are they being so intimate with Liu Qianqian right now?

For me, it's just that I have a fiancée at home, but for Liu Qianqian, it's just "senior sister" this and "senior sister" that, right?

Xu Lingyue thought to herself that she and Liu Qianqian were, after all, the Twin Prodigies of Xuantian.

This was a complete misunderstanding of Shen Ming; he hadn't even considered that possibility.

"We'll celebrate for the next few days, and await the sect's arrangements."

Liang Mingxi left with a single sentence, then transformed into a streak of rainbow light and departed.

The departure of the sect leader signifies the complete end of the selection process.

The esteemed Master of Ten Thousand Swords Peak, Xie Tianjian, looked on with burning desire, wishing he could immediately recruit Shen Ming into his own sect.

Tongtian Peak Master Luo Tiandu stood to the side, guarding him as if he were a thief.

Seeing so many disciples in the square, Xie Tianjian had no choice but to abandon his idea for the time being.

The Transmission Elder stared at Shen Ming, his brows furrowed.

Shen Ming is no mediocre talent; he misjudged Jiang's talent when he tested it at the Jiang family's place.

It was no coincidence; as an elder who passed on his skills, he was very confident in this regard.

It must have been the Jiang family who tampered with things and covered up the crown prince's talent.

What is the purpose of doing this?

Shen Ming made no attempt to hide his talent, nor did he shy away from the fact that he knew it, and why he hadn't explained it from the beginning.

Do I look like a fool?

I don't understand, Elder Chuan Gong can't figure it out.

The next day, someone from the Jiang family came to visit.

"I knew it! They couldn't possibly be fooling me."

The Transmission Elder believed that the Jiang family had come to explain, and he did indeed need an explanation.

The newcomer was very mysterious, shrouded in a black robe, as if afraid of revealing his identity.

"There are big problems within the Jiang family."

While thinking, the elder who was transmitting skills set up a restriction and said, "Don't worry, this is my personal residence. No one will know you are here."

The newcomer removed his hood, revealing a resolute face.

He was around forty or fifty years old, with graying temples, a strong chin, and deep eyes.

You can tell at a glance that he's a tough guy who can stand on his own.

"Elder Xu, I am Yun Yin, and I have come for the young master."

Hmm? Someone with a different surname!

The elder who was passing on his skills noticed this detail: aristocratic families are not like sects, but they are very exclusive.

People from outside the clan do not directly belong to the clan, but are loyal to a particular member of the clan.

"Do you have any token?" the Transmission Elder asked cautiously.

Yun Yin revealed a jade tablet that belonged only to the head of the Jiang family.

The elder who was passing on his skills nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.

“The young master’s situation is special, and I’m sure Elder Xu is aware of that,” Yun Yin said.

"Hmph, how could I not know?" The Transmission Elder was very angry when he said this.

His wife and daughter now believe that Shen Ming is his illegitimate son.

Yun Yin was taken aback, not understanding why the Transmission Elder was acting this way.

"Could it be that the young master's talent is too poor, making it impossible for him to gain a foothold in the sect, thus causing trouble for this Elder Xu?" Yun Yin thought to himself.

Yunyin was sent by Jiang Tianxing, the patriarch of the Jiang family.

After the news leaked, Jiang Tianxing activated his backup plan and sent his trusted confidants to the Xuantian Sect.

Firstly, it was to have the elder who transmits the skills take good care of his son and protect him from the disturbances.

Secondly, it's about launching Project Shadow!

The timing was perfect; Shen Ming shone brightly in the selection yesterday, and Yun Yin arrived today.

The Transmission Elder naturally assumed that the elder had come to give him an explanation.

Yunyin dared not say that the young master's talent was inferior, but rather that the special circumstances made the elder who was passing on his skills even more certain of his thoughts.

The two people were not talking about the same thing at all.

"There are undercurrents in the Jiang family, and the situation is urgent. We hope Elder Xu will take good care of the young master."

As he spoke, Yunyin handed over a magnificent and exquisite wooden box.

The elder who was passing on his skills accepted the gift without showing any emotion, opened it, and his eyes lit up.

Nirvana Pill!

This is a Heavenly Pill, extremely precious even to a supreme being like him.

So precious...

The Transmission Elder wanted to say a few more polite words, but then he thought that he had taken such a big blame, and everyone in the sect believed that Shen Ming had some kind of connection with him.

Without this Nirvana Pill, he would really go to the Jiang family to demand an explanation.

Now, all his resentment has vanished, and he's all smiles.

“Power struggles have always been common among first-class families. It’s understandable that Clan Chief Jiang is so eager to protect his son,” said the Transmission Elder.

Upon hearing this, Yunyin smiled slightly.

With a Nirvana Pill, regardless of the young master's talent, Elder Xu will be a reliable support.

"Why don't you go see your young master? He's quite the..."

The Transmission Elder wanted to say that Shen Ming was currently enjoying immense success.

"No! Elder Xu! Don't reveal any information about the young master to me, not even his alias," Yun Yin hurriedly interrupted.

Cultivators at the Supreme Realm possess the ability to search souls.

He would rather die in battle than reveal any information about his master's family.

"rigorous!"

The elder who transmitted the skills was full of admiration; it was he who had given Shen Ming the alias.

Therefore, the Jiang family did not know that Shen Ming was Jiang Ming.

Shen Ming became a rising star in the Xuan Tian Sect, yet the Jiang family remained calm and did not inquire about him at all.

It can only be said that once you enter a powerful family, it's like entering a deep sea, and you have no control over your own destiny.

"Elder Xu, I need to see a true disciple of the Xuantian Sect. Could you please grant me a pass?" Yun Yin had a second mission to complete.

Why not see the Crown Prince, but another true disciple?

The Transmission Elder was curious, but for the sake of the Nirvana Pill, he didn't ask too many questions.

"Yes, take this jade token. It will allow you to come and go freely."

"Thank you."

Yunyin made no attempt at politeness and simply left.

After Yunyin left, the Transmission Elder removed the restriction, and a short while later, his daughter Xu Lingyue walked in.

"Father, is Shen Ming really my brother?" Xu Lingyue was struggling with this question all day.

The elder who was transmitting the skills twitched his lips a few times, instinctively wanting to deny it.

But feeling the surging energy of the Nirvana Pill, he sighed.

"Moon, Father has only made a mistake that all men make."
