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

The Boundary Ship flew tens of thousands of miles in a quarter of an hour, and even a human king could not catch up with it.

"The scenery in the Divine Realm is quite nice."

Once outside the Ten Thousand Mountains, the world was vast and the scenery was delightful. Shen Ming steered the Boundary Boat onto a magnificent river.

"Still don't know which way to go?" Shen Ming asked.

Within the sword world, Jian Li shook her head.

So many years have passed, and I've come from the lower realm again. The Boundless Divine Realm doesn't even distinguish east from west, north from south, and I have no idea of ​​its exact location.

“However, one day we can be certain that the stone tablet is in a highly contested area, so we should head towards where there are more people,” Jian Li said.

"That's a waste of breath. You're not a very good old man to carry around," Shen Ming said helplessly.

"Who is the ever-present old man?"

Jian Li has no gender or age distinction, but she doesn't like this title.

"Look what this is!" Shen Ming exclaimed.

"They're changing the subject again!"

Jian Li knew him to some extent.

“No, I’m serious, look,” Shen Ming said.

Jian Li looked out, initially casually, but her eyes involuntarily widened.

Shen Ming held a heavy, square object in his hand, which was cast from a single piece of immortal gold.

Above are intricate and mysterious runes, and at this moment, a line of light forms on them.

Judging from the texture, this is the beginning of disassembly, splitting into two.

"The Holy Emperor's Decree? Where did you get it? How could the Endless Divine Realm have a Holy Emperor's Decree?" Jian Li exclaimed in surprise.

"No, this thing has always been in my storage bag," Shen Ming said.

I obtained this in a forbidden zone, and I don't know its purpose. I've kept it in my storage bag.

Until just now, he discovered that this thing was reacting, constantly releasing fluctuations.

"You've been keeping a Holy Emperor's Token in your storage bag all this time? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Jian Li said.

"The Holy Emperor's Decree? That sounds impressive."

"Of course, that was the Holy Emperor, the First Emperor of the Middle Three Realms, who established the human race's divine dynasty long before the Pan Yue Dynasty."

First Emperor!

Shen Ming thought of the armored being in the forbidden zone of life. Could he be the First Emperor?

"Tell me quickly, how did you get it?" Jian Li asked.

Shen Ming briefly recounted his experiences in the forbidden zone of life.

He ventured into the Jiuli Mountains and encountered an armored creature at the edge of an abyss.

At first, it remained motionless, but when he approached, the creature gave him this thing.

"The Holy Emperor's Armguard was given to me along with the armor, but you didn't even ask about it. Xiao Li, you need to pay more attention," Shen Ming said.

Jian Li, her face flushed red, retorted, "When others saw your Holy Emperor Armor, they never thought you would have a Holy Emperor's Token."

“Others are just ordinary people living their entire lives, but you are a spiritual being who transcends time,” Shen Ming said.

"Try spending most of your time in a dark, sunless treasure vault?"

"Alright, alright, let's talk about the Holy Emperor's Decree. What's its use?"

"Obtaining the Holy Emperor's Decree means obtaining the Holy Emperor's legacy! The fact that the Holy Emperor's Decree is now responding indicates that the Endless Divine Realm possesses the Holy Emperor's legacy. Becoming the Holy Emperor's successor could very well mean entering the legendary Holy Land!"

"Sanctuary!?"

Shen Ming's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected the armored creature to be so generous, giving him such a great gift.

"Then I'll open it."

Shen Ming intends to split the Holy Emperor's Decree in two.

"Mmm." Jian Li replied expectantly.

Shen Ming pressed down on both ends of the Holy Emperor's Decree with his hands and applied gentle pressure.

With a click, the Holy Emperor's Decree split open, revealing an ancient and mysterious celestial golden key on one side and a celestial golden token on the other.

The next second, the Immortal Golden Key flowed through Shen Ming's palm and merged into his spiritual body.

The Immortal Golden Token transformed directly into a long rainbow, like a shooting star, streaking across the sky with a magnificent tail of light.

The dazzling light seemed to split the sky in two, visible to all realms of the divine domain.

Shen Ming frowned. As the saying goes, one should not flaunt one's wealth; there's no need to be so extravagant.

Fortunately, he had the key.

“As the successor of the Holy Emperor, how can you act so furtively? It would be good enough if you didn’t have to be worshipped by all the emperors.” Jian Li saw what he was thinking.

"That way, others will be able to do it too."

"Definitely. Even if they don't get the inheritance, the many treasures in the sanctuary will drive them crazy."

"That'smine!"

Shen Ming raised an eyebrow; he wasn't that generous.

He was thinking of chasing after them and finding the sanctuary, but Jianli stopped him.

"That's not telling you the direction of the Sanctuary, it's announcing the birth of the Sanctuary and the arrival of the Holy Emperor's successor. The Sanctuary will come to you on its own, descending from the sky. Just wait patiently."

Shen Ming was surprised that it could be done this way, and exclaimed that it truly lived up to the Holy Emperor's reputation for skill.

"How long will it take?"

"Check if the key has changed."

Shen Ming closed his eyes and, deep within his body, indeed discovered that the Holy Emperor's Key was floating in spiritual energy.

Immortal gold should be a pure and flawless gold, but this key now has a mottled bronze color.

Enveloped in Shen Ming's spiritual power, it could faintly emit specks of immortal golden light, but the process was extremely slow.

Shen Ming actively poured his spiritual energy into it, which made the process much faster, but he almost completely depleted his spiritual energy in one go.

In other words, the sanctuary will only appear if Shen Mingling dissolves the key.

"Find the stone tablet, leave your name, and the Endless Divine Realm will reward you with a large amount of spiritual energy!" Jian Li immediately came up with the idea and was proud of it. See? She still knows a lot.

"So, where is the stone tablet?"

"..." Jian Li.

They returned to where they started, to the vast divine realm, not knowing which way to go.

……

At the same time, the announcement of the Holy Emperor's decree to the world immediately caused a tremor in the Boundless Divine Realm.

Not everyone could immediately recognize that it was the Holy Emperor's Decree, but judging from the commotion, it was clear that a supreme treasure had been born.

When someone recognized what it was, the news spread throughout the Three Realms, causing a sensation among the nine great dynasties, major religions, and holy lands.

Successor of the Holy Emperor!

The Holy Emperor's Treasury!

The two alone were enough to drive people crazy. In an instant, countless people flocked to the Boundless Divine Realm. This was an immense opportunity that could not be missed.

Somewhere in the divine realm,

Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, time and space seem to stand still.

A stunningly beautiful figure slowly emerged from within.

She was graceful and wore a light, gauze-like dress that resembled flowing moonlight.

Her face was absolutely stunning, her skin was as white as snow, and her long, flowing black hair cascaded down to her waist.

Between his eyebrows, there is also a pattern of a spider lily.

Li Miaozhen, the newly appointed Holy Maiden of the Patching Heaven Sect!

She moved with light, delicate steps, as if treading on clouds, each step landing with unparalleled lightness, untouched by the slightest dust of this mortal world.

The most legendary genius in the Three Realms recently, rumored to be the reincarnation of the Great Emperor!

For her, this was a very suitable opportunity and a chance to gain experience.

Li Miaozhen did not come alone; she was accompanied by a holy maiden.

The holy maiden of Yaochi Holy Land.

This reminds people of the Holy Lord of Yaochi's attempt to invite Li Miaozhen to join their holy land, only to be rejected.

The reason is that the Holy Maiden who mends the heavens has a lover she can't let go of.

Those familiar with the Jade Pool Holy Land know that this is something they despise.

The appearance of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and Li Miaozhen together has sparked all sorts of speculation.

Following them, representatives from all the major religions and holy lands of the Middle Three Realms, as well as the nine great dynasties, all sent people in.
