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

Shen Ming stood on the deck, gazing at the Milky Way.

The monks of this world considered traveling by boat to the moon to be a perfectly normal thing.

After all, cultivators possess powerful cultivation levels and physical bodies.

Shen Ming was different; he came from another world and had a strange feeling about this moon landing.

The ship on the other shore was shrouded in a thin yet resilient shroud of light, isolating it from the outside world.

Once all the passengers had arrived, the ship on the other side set off towards the moon as if chasing after stars and the moon.

The journey was completely smooth and without any obstacles.

Suddenly, Shen Ming became alert, feeling that someone was talking badly about him.

He looked over and saw Li Miaozhen and Yunxi standing there, chatting and laughing.

Noticing his gaze, the two women immediately stopped, looked at him, and then burst into clear, melodious laughter in perfect unison.

Li Miaozhen's eyes still held a hint of reproach.

After Shen Ming walked over, Yun Xi gave him a gloating smile and ran away as fast as she could.

"What are you all talking about me behind my back?" Shen Ming asked.

"Yunxi told me to keep an eye on you, so you don't end up with a harem without even realizing it," Li Miaozhen said with a light laugh, her bright eyes scanning him up and down.

"Then you'd better keep a close eye on them," Shen Ming said.

He has nothing to fear if he is upright. As long as he has no such thoughts, no woman can catch his eye.

"Hmph, who knows? Just now, all the female cultivators from the Upper Realm were drooling over you. You fought your way up to the Middle Three Realms, and you probably have lovers in every realm." Li Miaozhen said.

Shen Ming was both amused and exasperated. This didn't sound like something Li Miaozhen would say; it was clearly something Yun Xi had taught her.

However, it's good that Miaozhen is lively.

"Nonsense. If that were true, we would never have seen a female cultivator come up to us," Shen Ming said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of sweet, delicate voices came from afar.

"Senior Brother Shen Ming!"

Guan Guan came running over, her pretty face unable to hide her excitement.

"..."

Shen Ming and Li Miaozhen remained silent, exchanging glances.

"Senior Brother Shen really has a lot of friends," Yun Xi teased from not far away, grinding her teeth.

Shen Ming snapped out of his daze, a look of joy spreading across his face.

Inside the Void Kun's belly, he was deeply impressed by Guan Guan.

"Brother Shen! I knew you'd be here." Song Zhenyuan followed closely behind, his usual taciturn demeanor replaced by enthusiasm.

After Shen Ming escaped and they returned to the Immortal Sect, he and Guan Guan thought every day about seeing each other again to repay his life-saving grace.

"You're going to the moon?"

Shen Ming was surprised by the coincidence and immediately introduced the two parties.

Upon hearing that Song Zhenyuan and Guan Guan came from the immortal sect of the Eighth Realm, Li Miaozhen reacted indifferently.

"This is my Daoist partner, Li Miaozhen."

But when he heard Shen Ming's introduction, Qiu Shui's eyes flickered slightly, and her smile blossomed.

Yunxi pretended to be nonchalant, but her delicate body trembled slightly.

"Brother Shen is truly blessed," Song Zhenyuan said honestly.

Guan Guan looked at Li Miaozhen, her eyes also shining.

Only a woman like this is worthy of Senior Brother Shen Ming.

"Brother Shen, your breakthrough speed is really fast. Once you complete the power of the Four Symbols, you will surely reach the Divine Realm in one fell swoop."

As he spoke, Song Zhenyuan transmitted his voice, "Is there any news about the fire seed?"

"Yes," Shen Ming nodded.

Song Zhenyuan felt a little regretful, otherwise, he would have known the whereabouts of several sparks on the moon.

Not far away, Xiao Fei and Mo Wentian, who had followed, were stunned by the sight of their long-awaited reunion.

The sky is falling!

Shen Mingzhen knew the Eighth Realm's prodigy.

Moreover, unlike Mo Wentian who was eager to befriend Xiao Fei and the others, it was Song Zhenyuan and Guan Guan who were even more eager.

Song Zhenyuan showed concern and care, and Guan Guan's eyes sparkled.

They just stood there, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed and natural than at a tea party.

At this moment, Senior Brother Gu, who was with Song Zhenyuan, came up.

“Fellow Daoist, thank you for rescuing Senior Brother Song. When I entered the Immortal Sect, it was Senior Brother Song who guided my cultivation. To me, he is like an elder brother.”

Senior Brother Gu said, "We all thought Senior Brother Song had perished. You have no idea, when Senior Brother Song and Guan Guan returned to the Immortal Sect, it was quite a lively occasion."

Song Zhenyuan introduced him as Gu Tianyi, one of the ten disciples of their Immortal Sect and the Divine Child of the Eighth Realm.

"Divine Child" refers to the strongest group of people in the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Sovereign Realm.

"Senior Brother Song was a divine child back then, but unfortunately he was trapped for hundreds of years." Gu Tianyi said with regret, feeling sorry for his senior brother.

"The Dao Lord said that time has no meaning, focus on the present. Reaching the Longevity Realm at one hundred years old is the same as reaching it at ten thousand years old," Shen Ming said.

These are words spoken by the Old Man of the South Pole, and they are still very applicable today.

If lifespan is close to infinity, then age becomes meaningless.

Song Zhenyuan smiled. Of course he knew all this. Having been trapped for a hundred years, his mind had already been tempered.

This trip to the moon is also to complete a trial that is hundreds of years overdue.

“Let’s not talk here. Let’s find somewhere. You can ask us anything about the moon,” Gu Tianyi said.

Just as the group was about to set off, they saw Feng Chen running over in a panic.

"Junior brother, be careful of those guys from the upper realm!" Feng Chen shouted.

Everyone stopped in their tracks. Song Zhenyuan and Gu Tianyi thought the words were directed at them and wondered where the conversation was coming from.

Then, they saw a special and powerful creature following behind Feng Chen.

A humanoid being formed entirely from lightning.

"Lightning God Child".

Gu Tianyi revealed the person's identity, saying, "An intelligent being born from thunder in the Thunder Emperor's Ruins has now joined the Thunder Department of the Divine Court."

"Senior brother, what happened?" Shen Ming asked.

"I sensed this guy just now and thought he was a fellow disciple, so I went up to him to acknowledge him."

Feng Chen said angrily, "Who knew that when I gave him the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, he refused to share his page of the Thunder Emperor Immortal Scripture and even said that I was not worthy to call him junior brother!"

These words reminded Shen Ming of the time at the Holy Emperor's Academy when Feng Chen handed over the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade to him without a word, not even worried that he would embezzle or keep it for himself.

At the time, I thought there was a special bond between the successors of the Thunder Emperor.

Now I realize it's simply because they're both exceptional; they're both straightforward guys.

This lightning god is clearly not.

Suddenly, Shen Ming wondered why the other party, who had already obtained the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, was still coming over so aggressively.

When he saw the other person's lightning-like eyes fixed on him, he suddenly realized what was happening.

"Take out that page of your immortal scripture."

The Lightning God spoke, and because he was a special being, his voice was genderless, but it was very powerful and, combined with his height of over two meters, it was extremely intimidating.

"Senior brother, there might be another reason why he doesn't want you to call him junior brother."

Shen Ming ignored him and instead looked at Feng Chen.

Feng Chen's eyes darted around, and he immediately said, "Because I should call her junior sister!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers burst into laughter in unison.

"..." Lightning God Child.
