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

Shen Ming knew absolutely nothing about the Upper Realm, nor did he know what this ship from the other shore was going to do on the moon.

I can't just agree to anything.

The Dao Lords all acted very magnanimously. If it were someone else below, they would have thought they were ungrateful and missed a great opportunity.

Shen Ming is different; his talent allows him to make great strides in the Upper Three Realms, so he is naturally qualified to have a conversation.

So, the others continued their tests, while Shen Ming stayed on the ship on the other side and spoke alone with the Old Man of the South Pole.

Most people are itching to know the details.

Mo Wentian, on the other hand, stood there, bewildered and still unable to recover from the shock.

He regretted that his vision was of a future emperor!

……

The Ship on the Other Shore, a separate space created by the Old Man of the South Pole.

"Tell me what you know about the Upper Three Realms first."

Shen Ming finished explaining the matter in just a few words.

The Old Man of the South Pole frowned as he listened, for he knew almost nothing about this.

Logically speaking, both the ancient religion and the holy land have powerful backers in the upper realm, so they should know some information.

Then, the Antarctic Immortal learned that Shen Ming had risen through the ranks from the lower three realms to reach his current status.

"Did he fight his way up by himself?!" the Antarctic Immortal exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's all thanks to hard work and talent," Shen Ming said earnestly.

Other transmigrators have cheat codes or even systems, but he has nothing and can only rely on himself.

"Then I'll speak."

The Old Man of the South Pole fell into thought, carefully considering his words.

After a long while, he told Shen Ming that, from the perspective of the upper realm, the lower realm was a reservoir, or rather, a back garden.

It doesn't just refer to rare and precious materials, or divine birds and animals; it also includes intelligent beings.

Prodigies like Shen Ming are so quick to be recruited that they're quickly taken up.

Shen Ming started talking about the Pantheon Ranking and the Divine Court.

"No wonder! So how are you now blocking the perception of the Divine Court?" the Antarctic Immortal asked curiously.

"The art of changing the world can be detected by those above as long as I don't call myself Shen Ming, even if others call me by my real name," Shen Ming said earnestly.

The Antarctic Immortal frowned again, wondering if such a secret technique existed in the mortal realm. He had never heard of it!

"The Divine Court acts on behalf of Heaven, oversees three thousand provinces, and is firmly located in the Great Crimson Heaven. To the Nine Heavens, the Divine Court is similar to the imperial court. Fortunately, the divine power is no longer at its peak."

Our Boundless Heaven's Alliance of Immortals is a force to be reckoned with.

The Divine Court should be sending you to be a heavenly soldier or general; joining Penglai is not a big deal.

"As for the Heaven-Mending Path, I did meet that Heavenly Origin Path Master at the Peach Banquet."

The Dao Lord of the Seventh Realm is just as powerful as the Dao Lord of the Eighth Realm.

The Eighth Realm Dao Lord is a pillar of the mainstream, while the Seventh Realm Dao Lord is the pinnacle of combat power.

Shen Ming discovered that this immortal was the most dignified and otherworldly person he had ever met.

It was very peaceful; I couldn't sense any malice.

He analyzed the pros and cons based on Shen Ming's situation.

"Penglai welcomes you to join us. Although you were excavated by the Heaven-Mending Path, they couldn't withstand the pressure from the Divine Court, and they won't blame you for making that choice."

Shen Ming found he had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.

"Why not listen to what the other Dao Lords have to say? Perhaps they will offer better promises." The Antarctic Immortal hadn't expected him to be so agreeable.

"Need not."

Shen Ming didn't care about those things; his main focus was on finding something pleasing to the eye and doing things according to his heart.

"Okay, okay, give me your hand."

The Antarctic Immortal flipped his palm, revealing a crystal-clear, jade-like stone disc.

"This is the Dao Foundation Observation Stone. You can reveal your Dao foundation by infusing it with your divine sense."

Their talent is undeniable; now we need to examine their foundation and see if they have a teacher-student bond.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming stepped forward without hesitation.

He gently touched the center of the stone plate with his finger, and slowly infused it with a wisp of divine thought.

The stone disc trembled suddenly, and the runes lit up abruptly.

The radiance was initially pure white, but then it transformed into a rainbow of colors, gradually weaving together a vast universe, with glittering stars and the sun and moon shining together.

Shen Ming didn't understand what this meant.

The Old Man of the South Pole, however, had a serious expression and stared intently at the strange phenomenon on the stone slab, as if he were confirming something.

After a long while, the Old Man of the South Pole sighed, a look of regret on his face.

"As expected of a prodigy with the brilliance of the Great Dao, if there is even the slightest deviation in such a foundation, it would be a desecration of the Great Dao. As your teacher, I must act according to my abilities and not mislead my disciples."

Your path must be forged by you personally; any human interference is a shackle.

After saying that, the Old Man of the South Pole was puzzled; he didn't really understand.

Shen Ming's Dao foundation was so complex that even he, as the Dao Lord, couldn't point out a path for it.

The Old Man of the South Pole gave him a deep look and said earnestly, "You will go further than I do on the road ahead."

These words came from the bottom of my heart; there was no pretense whatsoever.

"However, if we can't be master and disciple, you can join Penglai Immortal Island."

Antarctic Immortal revealed a faint smile, waved his sleeve, and a stream of light flew out, transforming into an ancient token that landed in Shen Ming's hand.

The token is dark gold in color, with the edges engraved with patterns of the Great Dao, and the two characters 'Penglai' are engraved in the center.

"This is the Penglai disciple token. With this token, you are a core disciple of Penglai Immortal Island."

Immediately afterwards, the Antarctic Immortal took out a set of clothes shrouded in celestial light. The robes were like celestial seams and clouds, and every thread faintly emitted fluctuations of laws.

"This is the attire of a disciple of Penglai, and it is also a symbol of their status."

Then, the two of them thought of Li Miaozhen at the same time.

Previously, Li Miaozhen refused to go to Wuliangtian because she couldn't bear to part with Shen Ming.

Now, naturally, the two of them should go together.

The Old Man of the South Pole beamed with joy; this was truly a double blessing.

However, the Antarctic Immortal immediately realized something and his expression turned serious.

“Once you become a disciple of Penglai, the other five Dao Lords won’t be so easy to talk to. They will definitely have to follow the rules. You also need to be careful of that Immortal Master Ji.”

Master Ji is the Daoist Master who saved Di Nan and the others, the one holding the scroll.

Now Shen Ming knows that what he really needs to save is the Supreme Immortal Palace.

The Supreme Immortal Palace is located in the Three Thousand Provinces, with the mountain behind it being an Immortal Abode.

The Immortal Abode in the Nine Heavens corresponds to the Immortal Sect where Immortal Master Ji resides.

At this Holy Cliff Heavenly Gathering, each Dao Lord can only choose one person. The Antarctic Immortal will definitely choose Shen Ming, so Li Miaozhen cannot go to the moon.

"The number of Ascension Orders is strictly controlled by the Divine Court. To ensure fairness, the Other Shore Cult is given the opportunity."

This involves the balance between the nine heavens, which is quite complex.

The criteria for this Holy Cliff Heavenly Assembly are the power of the Four Symbols and age.

The six Dao Lords can choose one person according to their own will.

However, once chosen, they cannot interfere with the Heavenly Assembly, nor would the other five Dao Lords allow it.

The other twelve Ascension Orders must be earned through their own efforts, under the supervision of the Other Shore Cult.

“Simple, Elder, you can choose Miaozhen, and I will participate in the competition for the twelve Ascension Tokens.”

Shen Ming didn't think there was anything difficult about this decision.
