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

In the City of Gods, Shen Ming chose an open space and restored the Great Luo Palace to its original size.

He planned to go into seclusion there for a period of time to further improve his combat strength.

Along the way, all that has improved is one's cultivation level and spiritual realm.

The improvement in combat power is actually comparable to the killing power of sword cultivators in the Endless Divine Realm.

Because of the existence of the Heavenly Tribulation in the Sovereign Realm, it is impossible to challenge the Saint Realm beyond one's level, which sounds like a waste of time.

There's no way around it; this is an indispensable part of the cultivation process.

Jian Li just said that he now has the ability to directly kill a Saint Realm expert.

However, before Shen Ming could even enter the Daluo Palace...

The City of Gods was shrouded in a deep and vast aura of immortal energy.

A dazzling ray of light pierced the sky, followed by a deep rumble that sounded like the ancient sounds of the heavens.

People looked up and saw a huge golden palace floating in, as if descending from the heavens, its light flowing and its divine radiance overwhelming.

The Supreme Immortal Palace!

A woman dressed in white emerged from the celestial palace, her beauty unparalleled, like a fairy descended from the heavens to the mortal world.

With a touch of vermilion between her brows, fair skin and delicate bones, and a simple white dress that fluttered gently in the breeze, she exuded an ethereal and sacred aura in every gesture.

Wanwan, the fairy maiden of the Supreme Immortal Palace.

"Is this the legendary fairy? She truly has an unparalleled beauty."

Many cultivators from the lower realms discussed it animatedly, their faces filled with longing.

"Is Shen Ming still in the city?" Wanwan asked, her voice soft yet clear to everyone.

The fairy came for Shen Ming!

Many people weren't too surprised, after all, Shen Ming had accomplished the feat of being the first person in all time, and they believed that more top-tier lineages would come to him.

Shen Ming arrived in the sky and looked at the other party with great interest. There were not many women who could amaze him, but this fairy was one of them.

Open the eye of truth!

Don't misunderstand, Shen Ming simply wanted to test the other party's abilities.

Wanwan inexplicably felt a chill run through her skin, which surprised her. The celestial robe she was wearing was no ordinary item; it could block the detection of heavenly secrets and all eye techniques.

What she didn't know was that Shen Ming didn't know this either; not knowing meant not knowing.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever been to the mines of the Fire Demon Palace on the Trial Road?"

Upon hearing this, the people in the city were taken aback. They had assumed that the Supreme Immortal Palace was considering Shen Ming's talent.

"I've been there."

"Don't misunderstand, we have no intention of standing up for the Fire Demon Palace. It's just that that mine is extremely special, a rare place for immortals to attain enlightenment."

Therefore, a thousand years ago, the Supreme Immortal Palace placed an immortal egg within it, waiting for it to be conceived. I think that immortal egg is now in your hands, fellow Daoist. "Wanwan said softly.

Fairy Egg!

The mere mention of those two words was enough to unsettle anyone, but upon arriving at the Supreme Immortal Palace, no one dared to act rashly.

"You mean the fairy egg belongs to you, and now you're coming to me for it?" Shen Ming asked.

“Fellow Daoist, you are exceptionally talented, the first person in all ages. If Wanwan can make the decision, she is willing to give you a celestial egg. However, this egg belongs to the Celestial Palace. How about this, Fellow Daoist, join my Celestial Palace and become our celestial seedling. It would be a win-win situation.”

hiss!

Countless envious glances were directed at Shen Ming, and even An Yunyan looked dejected.

Compared to the Supreme Immortal Palace, their imperial clan lacks a certain level of refinement.

Once they become immortal seedlings, they will receive the full support and nurturing of the Immortal Palace.

Shen Ming remained calm because he had killed a celestial seedling, and the best way to dispel the mystique surrounding people and things was to break them with a single sword strike.

"Prove it to me," Shen Ming said.

"What?" Wanwan didn't react.

"You say you placed the fairy egg there, what evidence do you have?" Shen Ming asked.

"Fellow Daoist, are you saying that our Immortal Palace has wronged you?" Wanwan's narrow eyelids narrowed into slits, her voice revealing a hint of coldness.

"You just need to tell me what the celestial spirit that was born is," Shen Ming said.

This is an easy question to answer.

After all, the Celestial Palace needs to nurture celestial spirits, and it must choose a suitable place for them to achieve immortality; there can be no mistakes.

For the Supreme Immortal Palace, this was indeed an easy answer. Even if they didn't know, the Immortal Palace had the Destiny Immortal Technique to find out.

They dared not, having learned from the example of the elder before them, they dared not use any divination techniques.

There are only three types of fire-type spirits.

Undying Phoenix, Fire Spirit Peacock, Pureblood Qilin.

Based on the situation at the mine, purebred Kirin can be ruled out.

"The fairy eggs are all similar; we can only determine their attributes. They could be a phoenix or a peacock." Wanwan didn't gamble and spoke very discreetly.

"Those are the property of my Immortal Palace, return them." A saint from the Immortal Palace stepped forward and reprimanded in a deep voice.

Seeing their reaction, Shen Ming smiled knowingly, and he knew the answer in his heart.

"The Supreme Immortal Palace has always pursued immortality, which is common knowledge. Shen Ming, your future is bright, and you can grow without immortal spirits."

Wanwan showed understanding and continued to persuade him.

"Yan Zhi is right. I don't think Fairy Wanwan lied!"

Many male monks have already believed it, though many more are simply looking for a spectacle.

"What's mine, I won't give away, and no one can take it from me," Shen Ming said.

Giving up the Immortal Phoenix so easily? It would be better to just sheathe the sword, return to the Xuanhuang Continent and live the life of a local tyrant. There's no need to come here and compete for the Great Dao.

"How arrogant! How domineering! Daring to challenge the Supreme Immortal Palace!"

"The greatest person of all time, why should I steal someone else's immortal spirit!"

"If these are items from the Supreme Immortal Palace, how could they not be placed in the Immortal Ascension Grounds without anyone guarding them!"

Some female cultivators, seeing that Shen Ming did not back down and confronted Wanwan head-on, immediately felt that he was incredibly charming.

"Ugh."

Wanwan sighed, as if regretting that her good intentions were not appreciated.

"Fairy, don't be fooled by your flawless appearance, you're a heartless wretch! You've already stolen two immortal swords from my Panyue Dynasty!"

"That's right. Elder Yue Lei of my Fenglei Pavilion kindly led the way for him, but he was killed and the Thunder Dao Treasure Bottle was stolen."

"He killed my Fire Demon Palace disciples and abducted our Holy Maiden. His crimes are unforgivable!"

Just then, three more forces arrived.

A huge flying ship descended from the sky, its hull carved with patterns of wind and thunder.

A man stood in front of the flying boat, surrounded by wind and thunder, with snow-white hair and eyes like lightning. The pressure emanating from him made it hard to breathe.

The Pavilion Master of Fenglei Pavilion!

Immediately afterwards, a blazing fire erupted in the sky, like a small sun rising from the distance. Amidst the flames...

Lord of the Fire Demon Palace!

The one who came from the Panyue Dynasty was the Imperial Tutor Cang Yuan, who was filled with rage and wished he could tear Shen Ming to pieces.

"..."

An Yunyan's cherry-like lips parted slightly as she recalled what Shen Ming had said earlier. It turned out he hadn't lied; he had indeed caused quite a bit of trouble.

All together, that's enough to give their imperial family a run for their money.

"Did you all hear that? This person likes to steal other people's treasures!"

The Supreme Immortal Palace was surprised by the unexpected joy and immediately seized the opportunity.

Many people looked at Shen Ming, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"You know the truth in your hearts, why be so hypocritical? Let's fight!"

Shen Ming chose to draw his sword directly!
