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

"To hold it at the Holy Emperor's Palace?"

Shen Ming was also surprised to receive this news; he was making final adjustments.

With a loud boom, the spiritual veins beneath this pure land seemed to awaken, and spiritual energy and mist spread for three thousand miles.

Three thousand miles is the outer domain, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass or spy on it.

This area is also within the range of the Myriad Manifestations Sealing Heaven Formation; intruders will be expelled and attacked.

The area within three hundred miles is the core area of ​​the Holy Emperor's Academy and also the area covered by the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram.

Take Jian Li, a top-tier divine realm expert, for example. Even if she manages to break through the outer perimeter, she will still be trapped in the Heaven-Sealing Formation.

"Let's hold the grand event here."

Shen Ming's heart stirred, and the Daluo Palace located on Mount Shenghuang trembled.

The palace gates slowly opened, and a magnificent pillar of light rose from it, shooting straight into the sky and bathing the surrounding clouds in a sacred glow.

Then, the Daluo Palace opened, and the small world inside spread out like a tide.

A towering mountain, Mount Daluo, rises abruptly from the ground, echoing Mount Shenghuang in the distance, like twin stars.

The Great Luo Palace absorbed a Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain in the Treasure Realm, and Shen Ming established a Daoist temple in the Thunder Emperor Secret Realm.

With the immortal phoenix residing here, the now materialized Mount Daluo is exceptionally extraordinary.

The majestic mountain rises straight into the sky, as if it were about to tear the heavens apart.

Milky white clouds swirl around the mountainside, as soft as the sleeves of an immortal, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, enveloping the entire mountain like a fairyland.

Occasionally, a dazzling, colorful glow would surge, as if some powerful spiritual energy were slowly circulating.

The entire mountain seems to be a perfect creation of heaven and earth, gathering the most essential spiritual essence of the world.

"With the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram and the Eternal Divine Light, all the gods will perish."

Shen Ming smiled knowingly, then instructed Huo Shuo to relay the message.

The Holy Cliff Heavenly Assembly has been accepted by the Holy Emperor's Academy!

The news caused an uproar among many who were waiting to see what reason Shen Ming would give for refusing.

"As expected of the Holy Emperor."

Many people remarked that this Holy Emperor had always acted unpredictably.

This is something that can be refused; no one can force Shen Ming to hold a grand event.

Given the special circumstances of the Ancient Holy Emperor Academy, it would be understandable if they were to decline.

Now that you've agreed, you can't blame others for making moves.

The moment the news spread, the Blazing God of the Blazing Clan brought out three Void Rift Flame Beasts from the Flame Abyss!

Legend has it that the Void Flame Beast was able to shatter the protective array of the ancient Heavenly Palace.

This beast is born with an extremely strong perception and destructive ability regarding the power of formations.

When the Void Flame Beast roars, the void trembles and the array patterns automatically appear!

People can easily imagine the specific actions of the Skyfire Clan.

When the grand event arrived, the Tianchi clan brought it into the Holy Emperor Mountain as a battle pet.

When the restraints are released, the Void Flame Beast will go berserk on its own!

Meanwhile, deep within the Supreme Immortal Palace.

An extraordinary palace stands majestically, as if it were descended from heaven to earth.

The entire palace exudes a soft and sacred light, and its architectural style is simple and solemn.

This is the Celestial Palace, the core hub of the Celestial Hall.

At this moment, Fairy Wanwan stood in the center of the hall.

Dressed in white, she was graceful and elegant, but now, she wasn't the most beautiful one.

The sage king Luo Chen of the Immortal Palace stood quietly, his pure white robe fluttering in the wind.

His long, ink-black hair fell to his waist, with a few strands lifted by the breeze, brushing against his chiseled, handsome face.

As his sleeves fluttered slightly, a Daoist aura seemed to flow through them, and the earth beneath his feet faintly shimmered with a layer of luminous light, as if resonating with him. A wisp of thin cloud floated around him.

Wanwan's eyes revealed anticipation; only by becoming a contemporary Saint could she cultivate the Nine Heavenly Books.

"Wanwan?"

The Lord of the Immortal Palace, seated high in the main seat, frowned.

Wanwan snapped out of her daze and returned to the topic they had been discussing.

"It has been confirmed that the Skyfire Clan Palace brought out the Void Rift Flame Beast, and Su Yan of the Sword Palace is going to use his demonic sword to break through all laws with one strike."

"From the Heavenly God Academy, please summon the Divine Lord!"

Wanwan was referring to the formidable enemies Shen Ming had made in the Sixth Realm.

They are all top-tier forces, each with a Saint King-level expert.

"Very good, then our plan can be implemented." The Supreme Immortal Lord nodded in satisfaction.

It's worth mentioning that "Immortal Lord" is an honorific title based on the name of the power, not a realm.

It turns out that the reason why the Holy Cliff Heavenly Meeting was chosen to be held at Holy Emperor Mountain was because the Supreme Immortal Palace was behind it.

Their goal is clear: they're after the Immortal Phoenix!

In the ancient treasure realm, Wanwan had personally witnessed the Immortal Phoenix, calling it the most perfect immortal being in the middle three realms.

I can't even imagine how many primordial immortal techniques I can glimpse through the "Primordial Immortal Scripture"!

By integrating the information and gathering intelligence, they confirmed that the Immortal Phoenix had always lived in Shen Ming's Daluo Palace.

Shen Ming of the Great Luo Palace always carried with him the title of the master of that world.

At this grand event, with Shen Ming preoccupied with his own troubles and facing these formidable enemies, it was the perfect opportunity for them to seize the immortal spirit.

"Immortal Lord, breaking news: the grand formation of Holy Emperor Mountain has been restored, and it is quite mysterious."

As they were discussing this, someone brought some news.

"Oh?"

The Supreme Immortal Lord frowned. If Shen Ming had a Heaven-level array to defend against them, their plan would be thwarted.

"It's alright. When we left, we destroyed all the great formations of the Holy Emperor Academy. The Holy Pillar Formation of Holy Emperor Mountain lacks a foundation and cannot exert much power at all."

Even if he summoned the dynasty's array masters in the name of the Holy Emperor, what array masters could there be in the Fifth Realm?

Inside the Supreme Immortal Palace, a person stepped forward.

He wore a dark gray robe, his silver hair was casually tied up, but his eyes were still bright and piercing.

If anyone from the Ancient Holy Emperor Academy were here, they would recognize him as Ren Qianqiu.

A master of formations in the Divine Realm, and also one of the most renowned figures in the formation world of the Sixth Realm.

He was also one of the main culprits who led the arson that destroyed Mount Shenghuang.

"Immortal Lord, I am willing to take the lead and break that ridiculous formation."

Ren Qianqiu had such confidence.

A grand formation set up in less than half a month is bound to be full of flaws and easily destroyed.

No matter how many resources are invested, this fact cannot be changed.

"Ah."

Even the Supreme Immortal Lord doesn't need to understand formations to know this principle.

What he was worried about was the restoration of the original Ancient Holy Emperor's Academy's Heaven-level Grand Array.

Luo Chen remained silent. As a Saint King, he didn't need to get involved; he only needed to listen.

But at the very end, Luo Chen called out to Wanwan, "I heard that in the Ancient Treasure Realm, you were advocating for Shen Ming, saying that he was the true Holy Emperor?"

Wanwan remained completely calm and composed, without blushing or skipping a beat.

“If I hadn’t said that, how could I have gotten away unscathed?” Wanwan said.

She couldn't reveal that she had given the "Primordial Immortal Scripture" to Shen Ming.

"Does Shen Ming trust you so easily?"

However, Luo Chen's sharp gaze seemed to be able to see into her heart.

"Otherwise?" Wanwan was no pushover and retorted.

"If that happens, I'll be disappointed in him."
