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

Baiyujing was already shattered; it was originally inhabited by madmen like Tuomogudi.

Time has passed, and few of the people who were from the same era as Ainz Ooal Gown and Tomogudi are still around.

However, the traces they left behind are still there.

The Divine Court is sending all the myriad races of the heavens into it; just thinking about it is enough to make you realize how exciting it is.

From the perspective of the human race, the Divine Court has done a great thing.

However, the Divine Court immediately used the nine divine weapons to govern all humankind in the Upper Realm.

"Everything exists in balance. If we obtain the Heavenly Dao fragments of Baiyujing, won't Baiyujing shatter completely?" Shen Ming asked, puzzled.

"No, quite the opposite, Baiyujing can become the moon's sanctuary, restoring it to its original state—a win-win situation," said Bone Lord.

If someone else said this, it would sound somewhat hypocritical.

The so-called "win-win" solution simply means making Baiyujing an appendage of the moon.

Have you asked the people above Baiyujing?

But Ainz Ooal Gown is the most qualified person in this era to say what is best for Bai Yujing.

Shen Ming and Yun Xi exchanged a glance, both seeing the same expectation.

The two of them staying on the moon wasn't an escape.

Instead, they intend to challenge the immortal sects of the Upper Realm Dao State!

They, the cultivators from the lower realms, have had enough of these rules!

One day in the future, it will descend upon the upper realm with invincible power.

The first step is to repair the celestial order on the moon.

"What about the forbidden and dark forces?" asked the Antarctic Immortal.

The Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Forbidden Zone are like parasites, constantly devouring the moon.

Without resolving these issues, even finding fragments of the Heavenly Dao will be useless.

“Every world in the lower realm has forbidden zones. The situation in the forbidden zones on the moon is indeed more chaotic, but I will integrate them. The Lord of the Abyss has already moved, so becoming the Lord of the forbidden zones shouldn’t be difficult,” Shen Ming said.

Upon hearing this, the Old Man of the South Pole wore a strange expression.

Within the Nine Realms, even the God Lord of the Divine Court wouldn't dare say such a thing.

Shen Ming spoke casually, as if the forbidden zone of life was not worth mentioning.

However, upon closer reflection, it really is not worth mentioning for him.

"But without the Ascension Token, can I still enter the Jade Capital?" Shen Ming asked.

As the Moon Goddess, Yunxi is obligated to guard the moon; there is no doubt about that.

The task of collecting the fragments of the Heavenly Dao naturally fell to him.

“Yes, because of the situation in Baiyujing, that Heavenly Road has become a mere decoration. In the early stages of this era, countless beings have been smuggling themselves up from the lower realm,” said the Antarctic Immortal.

"That's good."

Shen Ming can complete his cultivation in the realm of the divine path in Baiyujing, and first, he can reforge a sword in that forbidden zone of life.

As for why it wasn't conducted in a restricted area on the moon.

Because not every restricted area can be used to forge weapons; a naturally formed furnace is needed.

The moon is deathly silent; it doesn't exist at all.

"Alright, sir, let's go together."

Ainz Ooal Gown wants to go back and revisit the ruins of the Tower of Babel.

Forbidden beings on the moon are not allowed to enter the Nine Realms.

Because the World Tree protects the Nine Realms.

However, since Ainz Ooal Gown said that, he must have his own methods.

"Okay," Shen Ming agreed.

Bone Lord was overjoyed, as he had no idea how to enter the Nine Realms.

Since the Celestial King has agreed, there's definitely no problem.

There are still many things to do before we set off.

For example, planning for forbidden creatures and dark forces near the Moon Palace.

Yunxi declared the area within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, with the Guanghan Palace as its center, as her sacred ground.

All trial paths within this area are now closed.

This left many people dumbfounded; they came to the moon to challenge the path of trials.

Now, nearly two-thirds of the Trial Path has been closed, disrupting the plans of the major powers in the Upper Realm.

Some immortal sects that did not participate in the interception went to Guanghan Palace under the guise of neutrality, hoping that Yunxi would allow them to challenge her.

However, he was very resistant to Yunxi's proposal to establish trade relations.

So Yunxi sent them all away.

Left with no other choice, the cultivators had to venture to the Trial Road outside the Moon Palace.

It turned out that the situation here was even worse.

Forbidden creatures that roamed all over the moon came here.

Shen Ming was herding sheep, creating a forbidden zone for life in an artificial way.

"Even if Tianpeng were alive, he couldn't have done this."

No one can figure it out.

Those vicious and forbidden creatures were incredibly docile in front of Shen Ming, and it was unclear what they had to be afraid of.

Therefore, the neutral forces once again visited the Moon Palace, exchanging their qualifications for entry into the Trial Path through trade.

It is worth mentioning that those immortal sects that had a grudge against Shen Ming did not object, but instead tacitly approved of it.

Yunxi handled this very well, displaying the demeanor of an empress.

Everything was on track, but Shen Ming always felt like he had forgotten something.

……

Meanwhile, at the original ruins of the Moon Palace, a person stood bewildered in the wind.

He was shirtless, his muscular physique gleaming with lightning.

His face, once strong and resolute, now betrayed a sense of helplessness.

It was Feng Chen from the lower realm.

He is one of the twelve, and his plan is to cross the Trial Road, reach the Moon Palace, and meet up with the Dao Lords.

Feng Chen was the first to complete it; the fates of the others are unknown.

Along the way, he was unaware of everything happening in the outside world, and was still thinking about finding the Moon Palace and completing the trials assigned by the Dao Lord.

As it turns out, there is no Guanghan Palace here at all.

"Then how am I supposed to get back?"

Feng Chen was somewhat panicked; it was as if he had been abandoned on the moon.

"Is all of this a scam? They didn't ask me for money."

Feng Chen didn't understand; come to think of it, he had gained quite a lot along the way.

He successfully ignited the divine fire and entered the realm of divine fire.

If placed in the lower realms, he would be a powerful figure.

Huh?

Suddenly, Feng Chen sensed an aura rapidly approaching.

"Divine Realm!"

Feng Chen felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, as he had encountered cultivators from the upper realm's divine path along the way.

Those people were arrogant and domineering, treating him like a human being at all.

One extremely powerful female cultivator even wanted to capture him and take him back as her lover.

However, he was not good-looking, so Feng Chenyi refused him with righteous indignation.

Now, Feng Chen has developed an instinct to find a place to hide.

As a result, he suddenly felt that this aura was somewhat familiar and resonated with his own lightning magic.

"Could it be one of my senior brothers?"

Feng Chen mistakenly believed it was someone else who had received the Thunder Emperor's inheritance.

Because of the example of the Lightning God, he still dared not relax.

He was overjoyed and surprised when he finally saw the face clearly.

Shen Ming!

His junior fellow apprentice!

Wait a minute! It's only been a short time since we last met, how come Junior Brother has already reached the Divine Realm?

Wasn't he arrested and imprisoned in the Divine Prison?

You can increase your cultivation level while in jail?!

"What a coincidence."

It was Shen Ming who arrived, and he remembered that he had forgotten something.

There are still eleven cultivators from the lower realms undergoing meaningless trials.

As for the others, Feng Chen is his senior brother, and both of them are successors of the Thunder Emperor.
