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

The Sixth Realm was in complete chaos.

As the whale fell, all things came into being. One after another, ancient giants died under Shen Ming's fist, and their respective top forces rapidly declined and were attacked by powerful enemies.

Repay grievances and avenge wrongs.

Killing and hatred grow wildly and proliferate everywhere, inevitably leading to untimely deaths.

"If the Holy Emperor becomes an emperor or an immortal in the future, these will all be magnificent achievements."

If they are no match for the higher realms and perish early, they will become sinners, causing rivers of blood to flow in the Sixth Realm.

Some people lament that right and wrong are ultimately told by the living.

Shen Ming didn't care about this.

At this very moment, he is on his way to the sacred land of Yaochi.

The giants are mostly dead, and some have even fled to the border, but he simply can't be bothered to chase after them.

The Holy Land of Yaochi still owes him a stone. Once he gets it, he will head to Baiyujing.

Yaochi Holy Land, one of the oldest Taoist lineages in the Sixth Realm.

Located in a place of natural beauty, the mountains stretch endlessly, their bodies crystal clear, as if cast from pure jade.

The entire Yaochi Holy Land is populated by female disciples, each possessing both beauty and elegance.

Dressed in white as snow, with slender figures and faces that are either gentle as water or cold as frost, they all exude a pure and otherworldly beauty that is detached from the mundane world.

At the very center of the holy site lies a vast and boundless jade pool, its waters crystal clear, reflecting the colors of the sky.

Saintess Qin Yao wore a long, flowing, light purple dress that trailed on the ground. A faint purple talisman shimmered between her brows, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes seemed to hold the stars.

At this moment, Qin Yao's chest heaved, her heart pounding with excitement.

One earth-shattering piece of news after another came from different channels, and they were all absolutely true.

Having returned from the moon, Shen Ming was now a top-tier fighter in the lower realm, capable of taking down giants with a single punch, completely shattering the balance and constraints of the lower realm.

Some people complained that Heaven was not doing its job, and that someone as strong as Shen Ming should not have appeared in the lower realm, but should have been sent to the upper realm instead.

If Heaven had a voice, it would surely say that the gates of the upper realm were closed.

Qin Yao recalled the past, remembering that she first met Shen Ming in the Endless Divine Realm.

Not long ago, Shen Ming hadn't even reached the Saint Realm yet.

Suddenly, Qin Yao heard a series of exclamations. The female disciples of Yaochi were in a panic and all looked outside.

Qin Yao looked up and her pupils suddenly contracted.

A figure was facing away from the sun, and the intense sunlight made it impossible to see the face clearly.

But you'll recognize who it is at a glance.

That is the same ruthless person who is now slaughtering everyone and destroying one lineage after another.

"Why did he come to my Yaochi Holy Land?! We haven't offended him!" a Yaochi disciple said in a panic.

Have you really never offended anyone?

Qin Yao wasn't quite sure; looking back, she realized that their relationship with Shen Ming had been very unpleasant.

There's no point in delving into right and wrong; it's just a matter of accumulating various contradictions.

There was no deep-seated hatred between them, and there wasn't even any bloodshed.

But it was truly unpleasant.

It is true that the Jade Pool Holy Land displayed an arrogant attitude in front of Shen Ming.

The fact that Shen Ming could destroy the Holy Land in the blink of an eye made them feel extremely uneasy.

"Holy Emperor".

Finally, the Holy Lord of Yaochi arrived in the sky.

This holy ruler was tall and slender, with skin as smooth as jade, and his brows exuded an innate nobility and majesty, like a radiant glow of pure, unblemished light.

She appeared before Shen Ming twice, both times displaying an unapproachable nobility.

But now, he's much more restrained, and there's even a faint smile on his lips.

"Lord of Yaochi, we meet again."

Shen Ming said, "Back then, I said I would come to the Yaochi Holy Land to experience Taiqing's 'forgetfulness' firsthand."

"Who would have thought that the nobody of yesteryear would be sweeping aside giants today?" Yaochi Saint Master chuckled, distancing herself from the situation and taking Shen Ming's side.

"Hahaha, sure enough, looking down from a high place, all you see are smiling faces," Shen Ming couldn't help but exclaim.

The Holy Lord of Yaochi also cultivated the Taiqing Wuqing (Great Purity Without Emotion) and was always unmoved by external things.

But now the crisis has exceeded her limits, and she has to think about the Holy Land.

Will Shen Ming destroy the entire Yaochi Holy Land because of his carefree attitude back then?

She wasn't sure, but she knew many people would do that.

Therefore, the Holy Lord of Yaochi dared not gamble.

Shen Ming frowned. Was the Holy Lord planning to renege on his promise by not speaking?

Little did he know that his dissatisfaction made all the disciples of Yaochi Holy Land feel as if a mountain was pressing down on their heads, and they dared not even breathe.

"How is that elixir of immortality growing?"

Shen Ming took the initiative to ask.

The Holy Lord of Yaochi immediately recalled that they had taken away an elixir of immortality in the Ancient Treasure Realm last time.

“Your Majesty, the elixir of immortality has already been planted, but transplanting it might be very troublesome,” she said immediately.

"Are you pretending to be stupid here?" Shen Ming said in a deep voice.

"Holy Emperor?"

The usually majestic and unparalleled Holy Lord of Yaochi was somewhat flustered, and his usual aura of superiority over all living beings had lost some of its luster.

Just then, Qin Yao mustered her courage and came into the sky.

"Senior Brother Shen, did you come for the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo?" she asked cautiously.

She and Shen Ming were not strangers; they had dealt with each other before and were familiar with his style.

Knowing that his holy master was talking nonsense and causing Shen Ming to misunderstand.

"Of course, you're not going to renege on your promise, are you?" Shen Ming said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord realized that Shen Ming had come to ask them to fulfill their agreement, and that he had overcomplicated the matter.

If those ancient giants had not perished, the Holy Lord would have been unwilling to hand over the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo.

But now, as long as Shen Ming is satisfied, anything is negotiable.

Suddenly, the Holy Lord of Yaochi's expression changed.

The Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo has been there since the moment the sacred site existed, and it has never been moved.

No one can move this stone structure.

The reason I exchanged the elixir of immortality with Shen Ming was simply to use it as an excuse.

At that time, the Holy Lord was still proud of his own cleverness, but now he is filled with regret.

To tell the truth is to admit that you intentionally deceived someone in the first place.

Shen Ming would definitely not give up until he handed over the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo.

Neither of them is the best choice.

"Your Majesty, I was rude just now. As an apology, please enter my Sacred Pool." The Holy Lord of Yaochi could only try his best to appease and delay.

Shen Ming was taken aback, while Qin Yao and the other disciples found it unbelievable.

At the very center of the sacred land lies a vast and boundless jade pool, known as the number one immortal pool in the Sixth Realm.

Soaking in it can heal oneself, even for irreversible injuries.

It is something that countless people yearn for, but in the holy land, only a small number of disciples can enjoy such treatment.

Most importantly, the disciples of Yaochi Holy Land are all female.

Shen Ming will be the first man in this era to enter the Sacred Pool.

Because of this special situation, Shen Ming's earlier dissatisfaction dissipated considerably.

“Alright, let’s wash away the evil aura from our bodies. In the meantime, prepare the stone embryo.” Shen Ming agreed.

The Holy Master of Yaochi gestured for Qin Yao to lead the way, while she pondered what to do.

She wanted to give up the stone core, but the conditions didn't allow it.
