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

That said, Shen Ming began working towards entering the Divine Realm.

The final three levels of the Sovereign Realm are called the Divine Fire Realm. Only after completing this process can one enter the Divine Path Realm.

Above that are the realms of longevity and immortality.

For countless cultivators, reaching a single realm can take tens of thousands of years, and for some mediocre individuals, even a major realm within a single realm can take a lifetime.

Many cultivators who knew the four realms of cultivation suffered a significant shock.

Shen Ming wouldn't; he could complete the Humanitarian Realm in about two and a half years.

"Let's set a small goal: to become an immortal in ten years," Shen Ming said.

At these times, Jian Li would always ridicule or mock her.

Strangely, this time, Jian Li remained silent for a long time.

Shen Ming was somewhat embarrassed and couldn't help but ask, "Will meeting the Moon Emperor have any effect on you?"

"For example?" Jian Li asked, somewhat dazed.

Shen Ming thought of the dream about the journey to the West. The relationship between Jian Li and the Moon Emperor was very similar to that between the Great Sage and the monkeys and their offspring that were transformed from monkey hair.

If the two meet, will the Moon Emperor take Jian Li back?

"The mission of a sword spirit is to accompany its master as they grow. Once that mission is accomplished, it has no further reason to exist." Jian Li didn't answer directly, but she understood the implication in Shen Ming's words, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

“Then let’s do as we agreed last time. After you finish teaching the seventh sword, you will exist freely in the world,” Shen Ming said.

"it is good."

Jian Li's answer was somewhat casual and perfunctory.

Shen Ming was puzzled, but he knew that Jian Li wouldn't tell him even if he asked; that was just her personality.

"Ignite the divine fire, become a god, find the Moon Emperor, and then go to the Guanghan Palace to reunite with Miaozhen and the others."

Shen Ming redefined his plan. Originally, there was still the path of trials ahead to improve the power of the Four Symbols, but now it doesn't need to be so troublesome.

With a stretch of his hand, the Great Luo Palace opened like a box, and his dojo rose from the ground, reaching a height of a thousand feet.

He sat on the Great Luo Platform and summoned the Hengyu Cauldron again.

The cauldron contains divine fire of imperial rank, which symbolizes becoming an emperor.

By igniting oneself with this divine fire, one's future achievements will be no less than those in the realm of immortality.

Only such divine fire could be worthy of Shen Ming's Dao foundation.

"This is my seventh tribulation, and this should be the one I've prepared for the most," Shen Ming muttered to himself.

Jianli has something to say: You just randomly chose a place without even checking the surrounding area, and you still have the nerve to say you were well prepared.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Li thought of Shen Ming's past tribulations.

In the first few times, he was fighting people while undergoing tribulations, and later he came up with all sorts of new tricks.

It is truly rare to be sitting properly in one's own dojo now.

If the Heavenly Tribulation were to descend, he could sweep across the surroundings with the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, without needing to patrol the area for any danger.

Because once he undergoes the tribulation, Shen Ming himself will be in the greatest danger.

Then, Shen Mingjing stood between heaven and earth, his body enveloped in a calm yet vast aura.

With a wave of his hand, he shook the cauldron, and wisps of imperial fire moved like serpents, eventually condensing into a dazzling flame that appeared in his palm.

Shen Ming's gaze was indifferent. He raised his hand, and the Emperor Fire flew towards his brow, instantly merging with his own aura.

In an instant, all four elemental powers within his body ignited!

The power of the Four Symbols is the purest primordial power in the world. When it accumulates to ninety-nine layers within the body, it is like an endless supply of firewood.

At this moment, the Emperor's Fire, like a spark, fell into it, and the originally dormant power instantly erupted into a raging inferno.

boom!

The Emperor's Fire spread out from Shen Ming's body, and the endless flames swept across the heavens and earth like a tidal wave. His figure seemed to be swallowed by the endless radiance, but he appeared incomparably majestic.

The power of the Four Symbols on the ninety-nine levels was burning fiercely, resonating with the rules between heaven and earth.

An invisible tremor came from the sky, and the entire world was instantly plunged into an indescribable oppression. Wind and clouds gathered, and the sky changed color abruptly.

Shen Ming's soul seemed to transform into a bridge, connecting the earth and the sky.

In the void, countless bolts of lightning appeared and disappeared, accompanied by the surging of chaotic energy, and the pressure of the heavenly tribulation slowly descended.

Shen Ming stood calmly, letting the oppressive force from the sky press down on him.

"bring it on."

He spoke softly, without fear, only boundless composure.

In the imperial flames, his figure grew even more upright.

Before long, the tribulation clouds successfully condensed, resembling a vast ocean hanging upside down in the sky, with lightning surging and containing world-destroying power.

A terrifying pillar of lightning rolled down from the depths of the tribulation clouds, carrying the wrath of heaven and earth and the power of endless judgment, heading straight for Shen Ming.

At this moment, the void trembled violently, all things fell silent, and the pillar of lightning descended like divine punishment, containing an absolute pressure that could crush everything.

Shen Ming circulated the Nine Apertures Dao Heart within his body, and instantly, a magnificent power spread out from his body.

Nine Dao Hearts appeared around him, each flowing with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, shining brightly, like nine stars revolving around his body.

The aura emanating from the Nine Apertures Dao Heart was incredibly pure, echoing the flames generated by the burning power of the Four Symbols, creating a breathtaking domain.

Just as Shen Ming had initially thought, the four acupoints of the Dao Heart corresponding to the Four Symbols also reached the ninth level after the power of the Four Symbols reached ninety-nine layers.

Currently, the Eternal Dao Heart is two levels short, and the Creation and Chaos Dao Hearts are nine levels short.

Then you can enter a stronger state, returning to the origin.

The lightning bolt struck with a deafening roar. Shen Ming raised his hand and turned it around, causing his nine orifices of Dao Heart to resonate simultaneously with the void.

Nine light wheels spun rapidly, intertwining to form an indescribable power that drew the lightning pillar towards them.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique!"

Shen Ming whispered, then clasped his hands together. The radiance of the Nine Apertures Dao Heart transformed into six enormous phantom images of reincarnation, swirling behind him.

The power of the six realms carries the connotations of birth and death, cause and effect, order and chaos.

Each path seems to open up a new world, endlessly cycling and repeating.

The lightning bolt crashed into the phantom of reincarnation, causing the entire world to tremble violently.

The void shattered like a mirror, and everything around seemed to fall into the cycle of reincarnation.

The overwhelming pressure of heaven and earth contained within the lightning pillar seemed to be swallowed up, disintegrating layer by layer. Its violent power was continuously weakened in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, eventually disappearing without a trace.

"Compared to the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, the Seventh Tribulation is still not enough."

Shen Ming stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed.

This is not as thrilling as the last time I went through a tribulation.

His Nine Apertures Dao Heart shone even brighter, and the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation surrounded his body, making him appear like an immortal god.

Of course, the tribulation of lightning did not end there; wave after wave followed, one after another, with its power constantly increasing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Ming honed his skills and switched to using the Great Luo Sword to deal with the second tribulation.

He has already absorbed more than half of the sword intent of the sixth move of the God-Slaying Sword Technique, and his Mind Sword Light should also undergo a transformation.

It was as if the heavens and earth were sparring with him, and bolts of lightning were pointing him in the right direction.

In the end, without any suspense, Shen Ming stepped into the Divine Realm and reached the seventh level of the Sovereign Realm.
