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

"Are you cultivators from Butian Prefecture?" Shen Ming noticed this detail.

"Yes, fellow Daoist, could it be that you have a connection with my Patching Heaven Continent?" Senior Brother Bai asked.

"Do you know the Heavenly Origin Dao Master?" Shen Ming asked.

He vividly remembered that the Dao Lord had personally descended to the mortal realm for him back then.

The three senior brothers looked at each other in bewilderment. This question was like asking a commoner in a dynasty if he knew the emperor.

Of course they knew each other, but the problem was that the emperor didn't.

"The Heavenly Origin Dao Lord is one of the Dao Lords of our Butian Prefecture," Senior Brother Bai said, uttering a pointless statement.

“In that case, we are destined to meet, so let’s complete this trial together,” Shen Ming said.

There's only one path to take, so there's no need to hesitate.

"Okay." Senior Brother Bai was overjoyed.

Judging from the conversation just now, the person in front of us is no ordinary person. He speaks of being a Dao Master, so he is probably a disciple of a celestial sect from the Eighth Realm.

But with life and death at stake, he couldn't care less about anything else.

There may be protectors in the shadows, but that would be even better; it would be better to simply eliminate the Fire Thief Alliance.

When the time comes, the three of them will kneel on the ground and kowtow to admit their mistakes, and I think nothing will happen to them.

After introducing themselves, the group set off towards the path of trials.

Senior Brother Bai is called Bai Ziyang, and the other two are called Xiao Yun and Su Su respectively.

"Shen Ming? I've never heard of such a person. Could he be a divine child being secretly cultivated?" Bai Ziyang wondered.

At the same time, on the path of trials ahead of them.

A towering figure stood there, like an unshakeable giant peak.

He wore a crimson battle robe, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, faintly glowing like flames.

This person is one of the leaders of the Fire Stealing Alliance, Crimson Flame, with a cultivation level in the Divine Realm.

He stood there, radiating an indescribable sense of oppression.

With a slight raise of his hand, the cluster of flames in his palm suddenly burst forth.

With focused attention, a clear image emerged from the flames, as if a miniature world was appearing amidst the raging fire.

In the scene, a desolate wasteland far from this place comes into view, and four figures are moving quickly across the wasteland.

"Not bad."

Chi Yan nodded in satisfaction. Through Bai Ziyang and the others, he could see Shen Ming standing beside him.

"Even a Divine Child-level Divine Fire Realm cultivator has such delicate skin and tender flesh."

Chi Yan grinned maliciously, as if he had seen the perfect prey appear.

With a wave of his hand, the other members of the Fire Thief Alliance took their places on the path of trials.

There were a total of thirty-six people, three of whom were at the Divine Path Realm, and the rest were at the Divine Fire Realm.

These three will also take action to resolve the matter quickly and avoid any unforeseen complications.

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Ming and his three companions arrived outside the Trial Path.

This is a large canyon, tens of meters wide and hundreds of meters deep at its deepest point, with various branching paths inside.

Of course, it's not entirely impossible to bypass it.

Shen Ming's Boundary Ship can travel in the starry sky.

only……

“If we bypass the trials of the human realm, we will face obstacles from the divine realm,” Bai Ziyang said.

Naturally, no one wanted to take the long way around.

Shen Ming nodded slightly, meaning that only cultivators from the human realm would appear on this trial path.

Although he was only at the early stage of the Divine Fire Realm, as a Divine Child level cultivator, he was fearless even against those at the later stages.

Bai Ziyang observed Shen Ming's expression and guessed what he was thinking.

Because that was their initial thought, believing that even if there was danger, it wouldn't be too outrageous.

Who knew that the Fire Thief Alliance had secretly bypassed the restrictions, and three powerful beings from the Divine Realm were hiding inside, pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

Thinking of this, Bai Ziyang felt a sense of satisfaction, knowing that he wouldn't be the only one to suffer misfortune soon.

The woman named Su Su seemed to want to say something, but was pulled back by Xiao Yun beside her.

"go in."

Then, the four of them entered the path of trials.

It's as if we've broken through an invisible barrier and entered another world.

The path of trials is a tapestry of light and shadow, mysterious and magnificent.

Because these are grand canyons that run through the sky and the earth, rare mineral veins and treasures are directly exposed to the outside.

Shen Ming saw golden veins winding and stretching out, gleaming with divine light; those were the legendary Dao Gold.

Many precious minerals are crystal clear and emit a rainbow of colors.

At a fork in the road, there is also an ancient stone platform.

Various kinds of spiritual herbs and medicinal materials grow there. Each of those plants is a rare treasure that is hard to find in the world. They are translucent and full of spiritual energy.

However, before they could even take action, several cultivators rushed forward.

Shen Ming quickly separated from the other three and entered a fork in the road.

His expression was solemn, and at the far end of the corner ahead, there were three terrifying auras.

Within the sword world, Jian Li immediately realized that this was a trap!

The path of trials in the realm of humanity has been traversed by powerful figures from the realm of divinity!

No one would have thought there was such a method.

"Shen Ming, shield your divine sense and facial features," Jian Li said.

"Why?" Shen Ming asked, puzzled.

"Do as instructed!" Jian Li emphasized as she approached the corner.

Shen Ming chose to believe in his sword spirit, suppressing his divine sense and facial features.

The world suddenly became quiet; not a sound could be felt, and the presence of the enemy could not be detected.

"This is the way to cultivate the Heart Sword: follow your heart and ignore external influences." Jian Li's voice rang directly in his mind.

"In this way, I can't find out the enemy's cultivation level, nor can I anticipate their moves," Shen Ming said, puzzled.

This is like tying your own hands and feet, or covering your eyes with a cloth.

"This is the trial path of the human realm, with the highest realm being no more than the ninth heaven. If the enemy is beyond this scope, I will warn you," Jian Li said.

Shen Ming still had doubts, but Jian Li told him not to ask, because the answer was the method of cultivating the Heart Sword.

"Ok."

Shen Ming chose to trust his sword spirit and continued forward, passing the corner.

There they found Crimson Flame of the Fire Thief Alliance waiting.

"Give up resistance and surrender, lest your handsome appearance be ruined!" Chi Yan said in a deep voice.

Shen Ming remained silent, only charging forward relentlessly.

Ok? !

Chi Yan was somewhat dazed; he hadn't hidden his cultivation level at all.

Anyone who comes here can sense that they are the strongest in the realm of gods.

How dare this kid do that?

"It seems he's shielding his divine sense and perception?" another supreme expert beside him asked uncertainly.

"Isn't this just burying your head in the sand?" Chi Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Such a vibrant divine fire, so young, and yet he turned out to be an idiot.

At the same time, Jian Li said to Shen Ming in his mind: "That's right, they are indeed just three Divine Fire Realm cultivators, ordinary stuff."

Shen Ming was relieved; Jian Li definitely wouldn't let him die, that must be true.

Seeing Shen Ming begin to prepare for an attack, Chi Yan couldn't help but laugh.

I've never heard of fighting across two different domains!

"Let me show you the power of the divine realm."

Chi Yan raised his hand, about to unleash his earth-shattering divine flames.

This is something only those at the Divine Path Realm can do... Huh?!

As Chi Yan was pondering this, he discovered that his palm was empty.

Where is my divine fire?!
