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

"Please excuse my poor performance, fellow Daoist. We are now heading to the Endless Divine Stele."

Liu Ruobing approached Shen Ming and informed him of the upcoming itinerary.

"Thank you for your trouble," Shen Ming said.

"You are welcome."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cloud ship turned around, and a huge black stone at the bow pointed in the direction of the divine stele.

"To have one's name inscribed on a hundred-foot-tall stele is surely one of the greatest joys in life," Liu Ruobing said with a hint of envy.

In the endless divine realm, the divine steles are divided into hundreds of feet, thousands of feet, and tens of thousands of feet.

Centered on the Divine Stele, the Divine Realm is divided into the Hundred Realms, the Thousand Realms, and the Myriad Realms.

There is a power ceiling in every realm.

The Hundred Realms correspond to the King, the Thousand Realms correspond to the Emperor, and the Ten Thousand Zhang corresponds to the Saint.

All realms are interconnected, but when a cultivator at the Emperor Realm reaches a hundred feet, their spiritual body will be suppressed to that of a Quasi-Emperor.

The advantage is that if an emperor is killed within the Hundred Realms, he will not die outside; he will only suffer damage to his soul.

Shen Ming asked many questions about the Middle Three Realms, mainly about the division of power.

In the Xuanhuang Continent, power is divided into three levels.

The three realms are no exception, and are divided very clearly.

The top-tier powers in the Sixth Realm are all great sects and holy lands, such as the Jietian Sect and the Butian Sect, the Yaochi Holy Land and the Yaoguang Holy Land.

The first-class forces in the fifth realm are mainly the nine great dynasties, while in the fourth realm they are the Li family and the Zuo family that Shen Ming encountered before.

Of course, there are close interactions between different realms, and they are not separated into upper and lower realms. The Panyue Dynasty is also active in the Sixth Realm.

The Tianji Sect, to which Liu Ruobing belongs, is located in the Fifth Realm and is weaker than the Nine Great Dynasties.

As they were talking, the cloud boat suddenly stopped, and the huge inertia caused Liu Ruobing to stumble, her body bumping against Shen Ming's chest.

A blush rose on her cheeks, as if she had transformed back into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

"what happened?!"

Soon, she displayed the demeanor of an elder and questioned those below her.

“Elder, it’s Xue Yaoyang from the Li Huo Divine Sect!” a disciple said.

Directly in front of the cloud ship stood a tall young man, looking menacing and clearly up to no good.

Judging from his aura, he is also a king.

Beside him was Su Wanqing, who had just left.

"You guys wait here."

Liu Ruobing frowned slightly, and just like when she encountered Shen Ming earlier, she went to meet him alone.

Shen Ming looked on with curiosity. After the disciples of the main sect were reprimanded, they brought in an outer disciple. He wondered what the outer disciple was up to.

"Junior Sister Su is Xue Yaoyang's Daoist partner. Xue Yaoyang left his name in the Hundred-Zhang Endless Realm."

The disciple of the Tianji Sect observed his reaction and immediately stepped forward to explain.

Or perhaps they're cultivation partners? Shen Ming felt things weren't that simple.

Just then, a surprising scene unfolded: Xue Yaoyang punched Liu Ruobing, sending her flying.

It happened suddenly; no one expected it.

As she was being pushed backward, the protective energy shield around Liu Ruobing shattered, making her face pale.

Liu Ruobing also cannot fly in the Divine Realm; she relies on the spiritual robe she wears to stay in the sky.

With a single punch, the spirit garment lost its function and could fall off at any moment.

"Elder!"

The disciples on the cloud ship were both shocked and furious. Although Liu Ruobing was strict, she was highly respected among the disciples.

Xue Yaoyang's attack in front of them was undoubtedly a slap in their face.

Is the Middle Three Realms really that chaotic?

Shen Ming couldn't believe such a thing had happened at the Xuan Tian Sect.

Immediately, he darted forward and steered the Boundary Boat to catch Liu Ruobing.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Liu Ruobing lowered her head, her face somewhat pale.

"What happened?" Shen Ming asked.

"He wants me to change the trial results and apologize," Liu Ruobing said.

She naturally refused, and before she could finish speaking, Xue Yaoyang made his move.

"Aren't you that Elder Su something? Can't you just expel her from the sect?" Shen Ming asked, puzzled.

“Su Wanqing is the granddaughter of the sect’s Grand Elder,” Liu Ruobing said.

Shen Ming showed a hint of respect. This senior sister was still able to stick to her principles even in this situation, which was admirable.

Over there, Xue Yaoyang, curious about who Shen Ming was, asked Su Wanqing, who was standing next to him.

Su Wanqing revealed that he had hitched a ride along the way.

Upon hearing that he wanted to leave his name on the stone tablet, Xue Yaoyang looked him up and down, his brows furrowed.

A cold glint flashed in Shen Ming's eyes, and the Great Luo Sword was ready to strike at any moment.

"No, the Fire God Cult is no weaker than the imperial dynasty's power." Liu Ruobing tugged at his sleeve.

Shen Ming had offended the Pan Yue Dynasty to the death, so naturally he was afraid of the Li Huo Divine Sect.

“Bullying the weak is not something a true king should do,” Shen Ming said.

"If you're not satisfied, then come at me." Xue Yaoyang dared to come and beat up his sect elder for the sake of his Daoist partner, so his temper was naturally extraordinary.

"Forget it. If I were to kill you, wouldn't your Fire God Cult be furious and implicate others?" Shen Ming said.

In an instant, one could feel an intense sense of oppression from the sky, originating from Xue Yaoyang.

His body was engulfed in flames, and his eyes blazed with fury.

"I wonder where this guy came from, daring to talk such big!" Su Wanqing said sarcastically.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yaoyang picked up a huge furnace and smashed it down on Shen Ming.

Disciples of the Li Huo Divine Sect all cultivate the Li Huo Divine Furnace as their natal magical artifact.

It's the same principle as cultivating the Eternal Universe Cauldron in the "Eternal Universe Scripture".

Shen Ming gripped the Great Luo Sword tightly, ready to strike.

"The sword is but a minor art; the most perfect objects in the world are the cauldron, the furnace, the bell, and the tower!" Xue Yaoyang shouted.

Shen Ming remained noncommittal. If Jian Li hadn't insisted on using a sword, he would have had to demonstrate the Hengyu Cauldron.

The Fire Divine Furnace crashed down, something Shen Ming, who often used the Hengyu Cauldron to smash people, was very familiar with.

The divine furnace carries immense power and is unstoppable. If one were to contend with it, there would be corresponding and mysterious changes.

One sword can break all laws; all laws can be broken.

Despite knowing this, Shen Ming still chose to confront the enemy head-on, becoming one with his sword and transforming into a sharp blade that pierced through the air.

Xue Yaoyang sneered, thinking that Shen Ming was unaware of the situation.

The moment the Great Luo Sword collided with the Divine Furnace, the earth trembled, the Divine Furnace poured out, and the continuous stream of flames engulfed Shen Ming's figure.

"break!"

Xue Yaoyang roared, and the flames burst into flames one after another, creating a terrifying noise that made everyone's heart pound.

In less than a second, the sharp edge pierced through the flames and continued its attack.

Even the raging fire couldn't harm him, let alone this raging fire.

In addition to wind and thunder, Shen Ming's martial arts attributes also include fire.

Even the divine furnace couldn't withstand its sharpness, let alone Xue Yaoyang, who was so frightened that he pushed Su Wanqing forward in an attempt to block the sword.

In fact, Xue Yaoyang didn't need to do this.

Shen Ming's sword strike wouldn't kill him. As mentioned before, he wasn't afraid of the Li Huo Divine Sect, but it would implicate Liu Ruobing.

Seeing Xue Yaoyang in such a ridiculous and pathetic state, he sneered and returned to the Boundary Ship.

Still shaken, Su Wanqing's face turned pale and then flushed.

"You, you actually pushed me to my death!" Su Wanqing said indignantly.

Xue Yaoyang's face turned ashen as he realized he had completely lost face.

She glared at Shen Ming fiercely, turned and left, but Su Wanqing still wouldn't give up and continued to follow behind, cursing.

This amusing scene brought a sense of satisfaction to the Tianji Sect members on the cloud ship.
