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

"The Middle Three Realms are just a lot of kings, nothing else."

After Shen Ming made several moves in the Divine Realm, he confirmed this.

Although there are many kings here, none of them are particularly powerful. He began to look forward to fighting against the top geniuses of the Middle Three Realms.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for taking the initiative."

Liu Ruobing was filled with gratitude. Shen Ming could have chosen not to intervene, but he was still willing to offend the Li Huo Shen Sect.

“Xue Yaoyang’s elder sister is the Holy Maiden of the Li Huo Divine Sect. She is extremely protective of her own. You should be careful,” she said.

"Don't worry."

Shen Ming immediately wanted to see just how powerful the Holy Maiden was.

"How does the Fire God Sect compare to the Heaven-Severing Sect?" he asked curiously.

“The Fire God Sect is in a league of its own in the Fifth Realm, and the Heaven-Slaying Sect is in a league of its own in the Sixth Realm,” Liu Ruobing said.

"understood."

The two returned to the cloud ship, and the disciples of the Tianji Sect immediately surrounded them.

Being strict might incur resentment from people like Su Wanqing, but as long as you're fair, your disciples will love and respect you.

"It's alright, just don't talk about what happened today when you get back."

Liu Ruobing resumed her elder demeanor, displaying the seriousness befitting a teacher.

But when she looked at Shen Ming, her eyes immediately turned as clear as autumn water.

During the rest of the trip, Liu Ruobing and Shen Ming often discussed philosophy together.

"Fellow Daoist's ideas are truly imaginative; my talent is still shallow."

Liu Ruobing couldn't keep up with Shen Ming's interpretation of martial arts at all.

Is this really true? Every time she heard Shen Ming talk about breaking through realms, she would think this way.

Looking at Shen Ming's achievements, it's clear that he's right; it's just that I'm not good enough.

In the world of swords, Jian Li listened attentively, filled with curiosity about Shen Ming.

What kind of nonsense is this? After listening, Jian Li had the same thought that many people had before.

Shen Ming, however, remained completely serious, making it impossible to tell whether he was acting intentionally or unintentionally.

On this day, they arrived at the location of the Endless Divine Stele.

"It really is like a lighthouse."

Looking out, on the boundless plain, there is a stone tablet a hundred feet tall, like a majestic mountain, oval in shape and entirely black.

Centered around the Endless Divine Stele, there are countless cloud ships and all sorts of flying magical artifacts.

"Thank you for your help along the way, Senior Sister. Farewell," Shen Ming said.

"Hmm? We have no urgent business and can still help you with your questions, so why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Liu Ruobing asked, somewhat puzzled and reluctant to part.

She also wanted to cheer for Shen Ming and witness the boy leaving his name on the monument.

"Look over there." Shen Ming pointed to a whole row of cloud ships on the right.

Judging from the fluttering flags, Liu Ruobing recognized them as the four major families of the Fourth Realm.

They are the Li family, the Zuo family, the Cheng family, and the Kun family.

"I come from the lower realm, from the Ten Thousand Mountains," Shen Ming transmitted his voice.

"what?!"

Liu Ruobing was still wondering when she heard these words, and her face turned pale.

The Tianji Sect does not participate in matters concerning the Sin Domain and sinners in the lower realms; those are the responsibility of the Fourth Realm.

Nevertheless, in the Endless Divine Realm, all the major powers avoid sinners like the plague.

The rumors of the calamity spread like wildfire, so people believed them to some extent.

Liu Ruobing subconsciously took a half step back; it was out of instinct.

Shen Ming's lips curled up; he did this on purpose to see her reaction.

"Farewell."

As soon as he turned around, Liu Ruobing stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, an action that came instinctively.

“Wuji, you don’t need to say that you entered the Endless Divine Realm from the lower realm. With your strength, even if you are a cultivator from the lower realm, you can say that you entered the Endless Divine Realm from the middle three realms. No one will be able to tell the difference, and no one will question you,” Liu Ruobing said.

"Oh? Aren't you afraid of the fire burning down?"

“I haven’t felt any discomfort in my spiritual body these past few days,” Liu Ruobing said earnestly.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not.

"The forces of the Fourth Realm will clamor for the killing of sinners because they obey the First Temple. We, the Fifth and Sixth Realms, have no connection with the First Temple."

Speaking of this, Liu Ruobing smiled and said, "You don't know these things, so you should let me travel with you so that I can help you more."

Shen Ming's smile became even brighter, this time from the bottom of his heart.

“Indeed, beautiful people are all kind-hearted,” he said.

"You have no manners." Liu Ruobing's cheeks flushed red.

So Liu Ruobing boarded his World Ship and ordered the other Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples on the cloud ship to leave.

It seems she has thought through the consequences and is trying her best not to implicate the Tianji Sect; Shen Ming could see this.

The Tianji Sect is unafraid of the forces of the Fourth Realm, but it is clear that the First Temple still exerts considerable pressure.

"Is the First Temple solely responsible for the affairs of the Sin Domain and the sinners of the lower realms?" Shen Ming asked.

"Yes."

"Tell me about them."

"Ok."

Liu Ruobing told him that the First Temple was extremely special, having risen from the Endless Divine Realm.

The Endless Divine Realm is a spiritual world created by the supreme deity, and it was originally unclaimed.

Somehow, the First Temple began to claim itself as the orthodox authority of the divine realm.

Other forces come in from the outside, but they go out from the inside.

Such achievements are not based on mere words.

The master of the First Temple is the incarnation of the domain spirit of the Endless Temple.

"The First Temple, then are there a Second and a Third Temple?"

“Yes, initially there were nine temples corresponding to the nine realms, but later, for various reasons, the other temples either disappeared or were renamed,” Liu Ruobing said.

The two were engrossed in their conversation, and the bright firelight was not suitable to spoil the atmosphere.

"The famous stone maiden of the Tianji Sect actually had a day of lustful thoughts. Indeed, this pretty boy is quite handsome."

A cold voice rang out, directly challenging the two people on the Boundary Ship.

Upon hearing the words "stone woman," Liu Ruobing felt extremely ashamed and became restless.

Shen Ming looked up and saw a woman of striking beauty and haughty demeanor walking towards him amidst the flames.

A blazing fire formed a ladder to heaven beneath her feet, the firelight and spiritual light intertwining to create an extraordinary mystical glow.

Those eyes seemed to be formed from the essence of sacred fire.

On the flying boat behind her were Xue Yaoyang and Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing actually forgave Xue Yaoyang for pushing her out to shield her from the sword.

Shen Ming was astonished that such a thing could be forgiven.

On second thought, given Xue Yaoyang's status and position, women would naturally become more magnanimous.

The woman's identity is pretty obvious.

Xue Li, the Holy Maiden of the Fire God Cult.

"You say you come from the Divine Flame Dynasty? Which kingdom or lord are you? State your name," Xue Li said.

"You think you're worthy?" Shen Ming asked.

Xue Li narrowed his long, narrow eyes, and a hint of fire emanated from the corners of his eyes.

"Am I worthy?"

Just then, another person appeared, dressed in a noble python robe, with an extraordinary demeanor and wearing a crown.

The third prince of the Divine Flame Dynasty!

The gasps of surprise made Shen Ming realize the other person's identity.

"Speak, which vassal state of my Divine Flame Dynasty are you a disciple of?" the Third Prince demanded.

He was high above others, and it was only natural for him to be so. As the most powerful prince of the Divine Flame Dynasty, he had the confidence to do so.

"Are you worthy?"

Shen Ming's answer was the same.
