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

On the edge of the ancient treasure realm, more and more cultivators are gathering here.

The radiant glow of the treasure realm was not as intense as it had been at the beginning, and the spirituality of heaven and earth was waning, indicating that this opportunity was nearing its end.

At this moment, the monks who were lingering there witnessed a chase.

A swordsman covered in blood came running wildly.

"That's Li Zibai from the Heavenly God Academy!"

Someone recognized this sword cultivator; although he wasn't a contemporary Saint Realm expert, he was still among the top tier of geniuses in the Sixth Realm.

"This is too blatant!"

"The Heavenly God Academy is, after all, a first-class power in the Sixth Realm."

"Those are the Three Crimson Saints of the Heavenly Fire Sect!"

"Strange, it was the Floating Light Holy Land that was chasing him, not the Heavenly God Academy, especially the Sword Palace?"

The Holy Land of Floating Light is divided into the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect. The Sword Sect is said to possess a sword manual passed down from ancient times.

The Master of Floating Light Sword has a very good relationship with Zhang Juezhi of the Sword God Academy of the Heavenly God Academy.

Currently, those hunting down Li Zibai include Elder Fuyun from the Holy Land, as well as cultivators from the Heavenly Fire Sect and the Blood Moon Sect.

The Heavenly God Academy is located in the Trial Grounds, and the nearest state, Cangzhou, is millions of kilometers away from the three states of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Therefore, news of what happened at the Heavenly God Academy has not yet reached us.

"Could it be that Li Zibai has obtained some priceless treasure?"

Some people considered this possibility and became restless.

At the entrance and exit of this passage, everyone maintained a tacit understanding and ceased fighting.

But if there's a valuable treasure here, they won't care about anything else.

The box is entirely in an antique bronze color, with traces of time erosion on its surface. Some complex weathered patterns are faintly visible, resembling runes, but their meaning is unrecognizable.

It exuded wisps of hazy, chaotic energy, making the box appear unusually heavy.

When the chaotic energy swirls around, it forms a tiny void vortex around the box, devouring external energy and divine sense probes.

Although we don't know what's inside the box, anything contained in such a box must be an extremely valuable treasure.

"This is a box for pills, right? It might be the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. It's rumored that the Holy Emperor Dynasty once refined a batch of immortal pills."

"After taking it, one can undergo nine transformations and gain an immortal body."

"It could be the primordial chaos energy. Legend has it that in his later years, the Holy Emperor became fascinated with forbidden zones of life and explored them several times, bringing back a wisp of the primordial chaos. It might be inside."

"If one can refine the Chaos Origin Qi, one can master the Chaos Laws and surpass all Heavenly Laws."

"It could even be an ancient immortal artifact!"

Based on the rumors recorded in ancient texts, the crowd discussed the matter animatedly, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and made a move from the passageway.

Caught between two forces, Li Zibai's expression changed drastically, especially since the passage was closed and he was trapped.

"Elder Fuyun! You are truly despicable!"

Li Zibai turned around, his eyes blazing with fury.

Elder Fuyun wore a gray robe, his hair and beard were all white, and although his figure appeared thin, he exuded an aura as majestic as a mountain.

After entering the Ancient Treasure Realm, Li Zibai separated from Shen Ming and unintentionally obtained this Chaos Bronze Box.

This item could not be put into his storage bag, nor could its aura be concealed, which put him in a difficult position.

Just then, he found the group from the Holy Land of Floating Light and was overjoyed.

The Sword Palace traveled thousands of miles to Tianzhou to seek help from the Floating Light Holy Land.

He was even more familiar with this Elder Fuyun.

Unexpectedly, the Floating Light Holy Land received a message from the Heavenly God Academy early on, requesting them to deal with the Sword Palace.

The Holy Land is divided into the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect. The Sword Sect disagrees, but the Qi Sect is interested.

Especially since Li Zibai possessed a priceless treasure, Elder Fuyun acted decisively, which led to the current situation.

"If you hand over the treasure now, nothing will happen!"

Elder Fuyun was even angrier than him, because now there was an extra group of people.

Li Zibai was surrounded and powerless to turn the tide.

"I am Li Zibai of the Sword Palace, and my master is the Sword God Zhang Juezhi!"

He shouted defiantly, trying to intimidate the people.

Facing hundreds of people, there's no need to be brave; no one will accuse you of being afraid of death.

The master of a sword god carries considerable weight.

Those who acted on a whim all fell into hesitation.

"Then why did the Heavenly Fire Sect and the Blood Moon Sect dare to make a move?!" They immediately realized.

Two second-rate powers dare to provoke the Sword God?!

"Sword God Zhang Juezhi is in seclusion to heal his injuries and will not emerge for at least a hundred years. The disciples of Sword Palace are already outcasts of Heavenly God Academy!"

Outside the treasure realm, a shout came, revealing this fact.

Needless to say, it was someone from the Heavenly God Academy who spoke up.

This energized everyone, not only for the treasure, but also because many who had grudges against the Sword Palace wanted to vent their anger on Li Zibai.

"I am traveling with the Holy Emperor Shen Ming! Do you remember why my master was injured?!"

Li Zibai shouted again, not wanting to die in vain.

Believe it or not, this statement carries more weight in the ancient treasure realm than the Sword God's.

Sword God Zhang Juezhi protected Shen Ming in the City of Realms God and fought a great battle with Divine Court Fei Peng, resulting in both of them being severely injured.

This matter is known to everyone in the three realms.

The claim that Li Zibai is the Sword God's disciple and appeared in the Ancient Treasure Realm at the same time as Shen Ming is highly credible.

Two-thirds of the large group of people retreated and returned to the entrance and exit of the passage.

Shen Ming first killed the Little Sword Saint, then killed Di Ling. He wasn't afraid to offend not only the Tianchi Clan outside, but also the Upper Realm Divine Court.

A ruthless person who has no taboos!

Especially in this treasure realm, it is almost invincible; who would dare to provoke it!

"Brother Li, I'm here to lend you a hand!"

"You are bullying the minority with your numbers. How despicable and shameless!"

Some even stepped forward to help Li Zibai.

Li Zibai himself never expected that Shen Mingzhi's name would be so useful and have such influence.

"Our Ancient Holy Emperor Academy still does not recognize Shen Ming as emperor."

Just then, a powerful voice came from outside the Ancient Treasure Realm.

It's not the Tianchi Clan, nor the Tianshen Academy, but the Dean of the Ancient Holy Emperor Academy!

The Ancient Holy Emperor Academy is a first-class lineage in the Sixth Realm, revered by the nine great dynasties.

The current dean was selected from among the nine major dynasties.

Outside the treasure realm, a magnificent aura suddenly descended from the heavens, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting.

It was an indescribable pressure, as if the entire world was trembling.

An elderly man, as tall as a mountain, stepped out, and the air beneath his feet turned into golden ripples.

"The Emperor! He's still alive!" someone exclaimed, their voice trembling. All the cultivators present fell silent in fear.

This emperor has lived for at least tens of thousands of years; he is a true ancient monster.

It sounded like the emperor had some reservations about Shen Ming.

Everyone was puzzled as to why the Dean wouldn't personally participate in the selection of the Holy Emperor; it was all handled by his subordinates.

Shen Ming's victory over Di Ling and suppression of Holy Emperor Mountain were well-deserved.

Logically, all the dean needs to do is acknowledge his identity, and everyone will be happy.

Could it be that Shen Ming has a grudge against this old monster?

"Whoever can defeat Shen Ming will obtain everything in the Treasure Realm," the dean said, confirming everyone's suspicions.
