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

"The Jade Capital in the heavens, with twelve towers and five cities," said Emperor Tuomogu.

These words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake. Bone Master was somewhat dazed, and the flames in his eyes almost stopped flickering.

He was lost in reminiscence, as if he were seeing some hazy images.

Unfortunately, this feeling quickly faded, and Ainz still couldn't remember who he was.

One thing is certain: Dhammaguti truly knew him.

"Explain yourself clearly!" Bone said.

"Let me leave, and I will tell you everything," said Tomogudi.

Without saying a word, Bone Lord reopened the skeleton and unhesitatingly imprisoned the yin spirit of Emperor Tuomogu inside.

“I can get what I want by slowly gnawing away at your spirit,” Bone Lord said smugly.

"Don't think about it!"

The ghost of Dhammagudi struggled and resisted.

The ghostly spirits within the skeletons resembled will-o'-the-wisps, appearing quite eerie.

At the same time, the overwhelming dark forces began to recede.

All the chaotic beasts left through the gap in the lunar ring.

The lunar ring is repairing itself, expelling all the void forces in the universe.

This world has returned to normal, and the ancient city of the moon is intact.

The river-suppressing stone tablet transformed back into starlight and returned to Shen Ming's body.

"ended."

Shen Ming breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was just a cultivator in the realm of humanity.

The Dao Lords were all fleeing in disarray, and he was left to deal with them alone, which put him under some pressure.

Especially that Lord of the Abyss, who left him completely defenseless, was truly terrifying!

Fortunately, the ending is good.

Just then, Bone Lord staggered over, and the ghost of Tuomogudi appeared as a ball of flame on his chest.

"We can't refine this guy for the time being, but don't worry, sir, as long as you give me time, he will definitely confess," said Bone Master.

Shen Ming was concerned about whether there would be any hidden dangers.

"No way! At most, he'll die with me, and then I'll be resurrected on the spot." Bone patted his sternum, making a loud cracking sound.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you call him 'sir,' but if you remembered who you are, wouldn't you feel ashamed?" Emperor Tuomogu mocked sarcastically.

"What, do you think I'm more capable than Marshal Tianpeng?" Bone Master immediately asked.

Everyone now believes that Shen Ming is the reincarnation of Tianpeng.

When Dhammaguti said this, he revealed some information.

Tuomogudi chuckled and said no more, deliberately keeping him in suspense.

Bone Master wouldn't tolerate it; flames burned fiercely in his eyes.

The spirit immediately endured the burning pain, but Tuomogudi remained completely silent.

"It doesn't hurt!"

After it was over, Dhammaguti shouted loudly.

Damn!

Bone Lord got angry, and his whole body started to burst into flames, the intense flames almost engulfing the vengeful spirits.

The ghosts trembled wildly, and one could almost picture the way Tuomogudi gritted his teeth.

"It doesn't hurt at all!!"

The voice of the Amitabha Buddha was hoarse and weak.

Ainz Ooal Gown was furious and was about to continue.

Dhammagudi was convinced. This skeleton was so stubborn. Did it really not feel any pain just because it said it didn't?

"Make him explain everything clearly." Fortunately, Shen Ming spoke up at this moment.

Dhammaguti was about to use this as a bargaining chip to gain his freedom.

However, just as he was about to say it, he had other plans.

"A few months ago, the Lord of the Abyss suddenly awoke and created the illusion of a golden moon to deceive the people."

The ultimate goal of the plan is to break the seal and lure six people from the lower realm.

Shen Ming knew all this, but what he was curious about was how all of this had been accomplished in just a few months.

"The Thieves of Heaven, the Celestial Court, the Other Shore Cult, the Ultimate Path, and you—how are you connected? Who has such power to orchestrate this behind the scenes!"

It involved a great deal of complex issues and was completed in just a few months.

After learning about the Nine Realms' structure, Shen Ming only wanted to know if the Divine Court had such capabilities.

"No one needs to act as a go-between. As long as we share the same goal, we can all hear the whispers of the Lord of the Abyss, and everyone can fulfill their duties and take responsibility for their own part," said Emperor Tomogu.

Shen Ming frowned. This was truly impossible to guard against, and it could seep into every nook and cranny.

"Unless everyone in the world is a saint, darkness will never end, so we can never defeat darkness."

Having revealed so much, Emperor Tuomogu showed his purpose: "In the Guanghan Palace, there are still six Xuanji Dao Seeds. Now that the golden light has disappeared, they are all ownerless."

"You want to trick me into going to the Moon Palace?" Shen Ming saw through his intentions.

Tuomogudi chuckled; the true form of the Lord of the Abyss was still there.

He refused to give up, believing that the Eye of the Abyss was too far away, which caused this result.

I'm not worried that Shen Ming will see through me, because greed is something no one can overcome.

The emperors spared no expense in their pursuit of immortality.

The Xuanji Dao Seed also holds a fatal allure for cultivators in the human realm.

Even if Shen Ming himself gets one, Li Miaozhen doesn't.

In addition, Shen Ming was unaware that Yun Xi had received the inheritance of the Dao Lord of Jietian and already possessed a Xuanji Dao Seed.

Now that everything has settled, the plan to cultivate in the Moon Palace has fallen through.

Shen Ming had taken one of Yun Xi's semi-immortal medicines, and he could use the Xuanji Dao Seed to compensate for it.

However, the Lord of the Abyss did indeed make him somewhat wary.

"Don't worry, everything should be fine," Jian Li said.

Since Jian Li had said so, Shen Ming no longer hesitated.

"I'll use my teleportation technique to get there directly."

Tuomogudi no longer concealed himself, and a portion of the power of the Yin spirit was transferred to the bone in Bone Master's right hand.

Ainz Ooal Gown is like someone who controls the switch of a teleportation portal; it's up to him to decide whether or not to open it.

After Shen Ming nodded, Bone Lord waved his hand bones, and a spiral-shaped teleportation portal appeared.

From here you can see the ruins of the Moon Palace.

"I'll go in first and scout ahead."

Bone Lord went in first, and after confirming that there were no problems, he gestured in this direction.

Shen Ming followed closely behind, but the moment he stood in the ruins of the Guanghan Palace, he felt a sense of urgency as if he were in the deepest forbidden zone of life.

His gaze involuntarily fell on a well.

At the same time, hope ignited in the heart of Dhammaguti.

My Lord! I have brought the person!

Sure enough, the well cover of the sealed well opened a crack, and eyes peered out.

The moment they saw Shen Ming's figure, all their pupils shrank to slits.

At the same time, Dhammaguti felt a deep rebuke from the depths of his soul.

The Lord of the Abyss did not reward him for his actions, but instead reprimanded him.

The next second, Tomogudi found that his connection with the Lord of the Abyss had been severed.

The Lord of the Abyss has abandoned him!

The well of seals closed again, and runes that sealed the heavens and the earth extended from within, like chains that locked the well in layers, inside and out.

"..."

Shen Ming looked around, not understanding what the Lord of the Abyss was afraid of.

There were only them here.

"how so!"

Having been abandoned, Emperor Tuomogu lost all his strength and abilities. Numbly, he led Shen Ming to the depths of the Guanghan Palace and found six Xuanji Dao Seeds.
