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

The Lightning God Child fell silent and returned to Lei Yuan's side.

“This disciple you’ve taken in is truly remarkable. Why not bring him along and take him directly into the Guanghan Palace?” Lei Yuan said.

“This path is more suitable for him,” said the Antarctic Immortal.

"Fellow Daoist is truly generous. The trial path to the Moon Palace has taken another turn for the worse, with many ominous signs and taboos that are completely unpredictable."

As he spoke, Lei Yuan's gaze, almost tangible, fell upon Shen Ming.

"It would be a real pity if he were to perish."

Leaving behind a profound statement, Lei Yuan departed with the Lightning God Child, thus bringing the conflict to an end.

"Junior Brother Shen is truly a man of great talent." Gu Tianyi seemed very pleased.

It's clear that the Immortal Sect harbors a degree of dissatisfaction with the Divine Court's hegemony.

However, dissatisfaction and apprehension coexist.

This can be seen from the way the cultivators from the upper realm looked at them; there was sympathy, but also schadenfreude.

This matter is definitely not over yet; the Lightning God Child is the type to always seek revenge.

Then, the Antarctic Immortal called Shen Ming over and said, "There are also disciples of Penglai on the path of trials. If you encounter any problems, you can ask them for help."

Shen Ming nodded and asked for more information about the trip.

"I was going to tell you when we got to our destination, but I'll tell you now."

Just as Mo Wentian and the others learned at the tea party, the reason why cultivators from the lower realms were chosen was because they could endure hardship.

Above the moon, many laws of heaven and earth are incomplete, and heaven and earth are flawed.

When cultivators from the upper realm undergo trials, they are always pushing themselves to their limits.

“You come from the lower three realms, so you are better able to adapt than anyone else,” said the Antarctic Immortal.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

I never imagined that one day, this background would become an advantage.

"On the way to the Moon Palace, there are many pillars of the four elements, which are the places of trials and cultivation set up by our Boundless Heaven."

If you can refine and absorb it, you will be able to enhance your Four Symbols Power.

If all goes well, once you reach the Moon Palace, your cultivation of the Four Symbols will be complete.

Of course, there are gains and losses, and the journey will be extremely dangerous.

Not only are there taboos and ominous signs, but also many vicious and wicked thieves who have been banished from the three realms.

For Shen Ming, there is now an additional potential threat from the Divine Court.

Furthermore, from Jian Li, Shen Ming learned that the forbidden area where the Moon Emperor was trapped was quite a distance from the Trial Road.

He wanted to know if he could leave halfway through.

"For you, the ultimate goal of the trial is the Moon Palace, but no one knows when the golden radiance of the Great Dao in the Moon Palace will dissipate, so it all depends on your own will," said the Antarctic Immortal.

Shen Ming understood; the twelve of them were free to move around.

After that, Shen Ming focused his attention on the third page of the Thunder Emperor's Immortal Scripture.

This page of the immortal scripture is titled: Divine Thunder Undying Body.

Temper your body with lightning, infuse your flesh with it, and cultivate an indestructible lightning body to enhance your lightning tolerance limit.

Shen Ming recalled the scene when the Lightning God was injured, with plasma constantly leaking out.

"It's not needed."

Because Shen Ming himself was already strong enough, the assistance brought by this page of the immortal scripture was not as great as that of the Ninefold Thunder Blade.

Fortunately, the Thunder Emperor's nine pages of immortal scriptures are a unified whole. With this page of immortal scriptures integrated into himself, the Thunder Immortal Heart is showing signs of a breakthrough.

The power of both the Divine Thunder Transformation Scripture and the Nine-fold Thunder Blade has been enhanced.

"The focus is still on the Four Symbols Dao Heart, which corresponds to the power of the Four Symbols."

Shen Ming did not intend to continue to improve his skills in the path of thunder.

His strength comes from his Nine Apertures Dao Heart, which is infinitely close to the Divine Realm, but ultimately it is not just a step away.

The most urgent task is to unify the Nine Apertures Dao Heart, reach the Ninety-Nine Levels of the Four Symbols Power, and ignite the Emperor's Fire!

With this divine fire ignited by his Dao foundation, Shen Ming was confident he could dominate the Divine Realm.

The following day, the sea was calm, and the ship sailed among the stars, between the World Tree and the Moon.

Now, not only Shen Ming, but also the cultivators from the lower realms were somewhat nervous.

If something unexpected happens, they could be buried in the stars.

The thought of that possibility makes me feel uncertain.

In contrast, the passengers from the upper realm remained calm, knowing full well how sturdy the ship to the other shore was.

It can only be destroyed by a Dao Lord-level expert.

Even if we take a step back and assume the Dao Lord is involved, it doesn't matter where he is.

“No need to worry. When the last ship from the other shore had an accident, you were still in the previous era,” Xiao Fei said.

Ever since learning that Shen Ming was a disciple of Penglai and that Qin Yuehua might join Kunlun Mountain, this disciple from Huozhou has been staying with them.

What was the reason last time?

These words did not offer any comfort; upon hearing that an accident had occurred, they couldn't help but feel tense.

"They say that the ship from the other shore carried something extremely disrespectful, something that offended the beings on the moon. Don't ask me what it is; even if I knew, saying it would bring bad luck," Xiao Fei said.

"Can the moon really capsize a ship on the other shore? How is that possible?"

The ship on the other side is located in the starry sky, some distance from the moon. Could it be some kind of divine cannon or something?

"I do know that. There are many chaotic beasts on the moon that can soar through the starry sky, as well as forbidden soldiers with their own consciousness."

Xiao Fei began to describe what the chaotic beast looked like.

Halfway through his sentence, Feng Chen pointed straight ahead and asked, "Is that the chaotic beast you're talking about?"

These words carried an eerie undertone, and given Feng Chen's personality, everyone looked at them with suspicion.

In the direction of the moon, a pitch-black phantom slowly rose from the ruins. At first, it was just a distorted black mist, but gradually it revealed an outline, like an ancient chaotic beast!

Surrounded by six eyes, its scarlet vertical pupils held endless killing intent. Its four legs were like mountains, and its enormous tail could tear apart the void and devour the starlight!

"My God? Can I make my words come true?" Xiao Fei exclaimed in surprise.

The next second, the ship on the other side came to an abrupt stop, accompanied by deafening bell sounds.

The chaotic beast opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar.

A bolt of pitch-black lightning spewed from its mouth, heading straight for the ship on the other shore.

"How could this be?! Who, who brought the forbidden item?!"

Lei Yuan of the Divine Court was furious and said, "Don't let me find out you're smuggling contraband!"

Then, he and the old man from Antarctica went to the bow of the ship to fend off the dark lightning.

Just then, a dark light came from the moon, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the sky, instantly slicing through the Milky Way.

It was a forbidden weapon, entirely black in color, with a bizarre shape, resembling a broken halberd, yet its blade was emanating an endless aura of destruction.

"What is that?" The monk on the ship, whose heart had just begun to calm down, jumped into his throat.

The dark light swept in with a speed that almost exceeded everyone's perception. In the next instant, the broken halberd had already slammed into the hull of the ship from the other shore.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no blazing light. The moment the forbidden soldiers landed, the entire starry sky seemed to fall into deathly silence. Only a pitch-black crack instantly spread out, piercing through the ship on the other shore.
