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

With the death of the Void King Beast, the Land of Return to Peace once again returned.

On the cloud ship, the hearts of the people from the Nine Sects were filled with turbulent waves.

This was not the first time that Master Qingxuan had guided disciples from the lower realms; he had also witnessed the prodigy who had triggered the Nine-Colored Whirlpool.

No one could have destroyed the Void King Beast with the help of the power of the Void, just like Shen Ming.

Finally, it seems that the Void King Beast is also considered part of the power of reincarnation.

The four elements reassembled into a magnificent ocean, and Shen Ming returned to the cloud ship under everyone's watchful eyes.

Shen Ming was noticeably different from when he went down.

The disciples of the Nine Sects all felt an inexplicable pressure when facing him, even those in the late stage of the Void God Realm were no exception.

"Thank you, elder."

Shen Ming walked up to Elder Yue. Without those two Heavenly Dao Crystals, the outcome might have been very different.

Elder Yue took a deep breath, feeling the gazes of the other sect elders, and said solemnly, "You are a disciple of my Taihao Sect, there is no need for thanks."

The elders of each sect all had strange expressions on their faces. In their memory, Elder Yue was known for his impartiality and incorruptibility.

As an elder of the Qi Sect, giving the Sword Sect disciples two such large Heavenly Dao Crystals today can be described as going all out.

"Why would the Void King Beast come to the Ruins of Return to cause destruction? This has never happened before."

"Could it be a demon?"

"The demon race never interferes with the Heavenly Road, nor do they need the power of the Four Symbols."

"No matter what, let's get out of here first."

Worried about potential trouble, the cloud ship left the Ruins of Return at top speed.

After they left, a larger cloud ship appeared in the rift where the Void King Beast had been.

If Shen Ming saw it, he would recognize it as the Other Shore Ship of the Other Shore Cult!

"The timing and location are perfect. The Ruins of Return have triggered turbulent currents, he must be dead! But why is he so hard to kill!"

On the deck, a tall, slender figure gazed in the direction the Tongtian Tower cloud ship had departed.

……

Shen Ming organized his findings.

Although he has three Dao Hearts that have not undergone reincarnation, after what just happened, with his Thunderous Immortal Heart, he can be invincible among those of the same realm in the Upper Realm.

"The Eternal Dao Heart originates from the Immortal Scripture and can be deduced in the Upper Realm. It only needs to be reforged. The Limitless Sword Heart can not only reincarnate but also break through to the Immortal Heart. Only the Creation Dao Heart needs to go through reincarnation."

Coincidentally, the "Qingdi Jing" and the "Dao Xin of Creation" share a similar theme, both being related to vitality.

So Shen Ming went to Elder Yue again to ask what reincarnation items were needed in this regard.

Elder Yue hesitated, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He felt that things were spiraling out of control.

"Shen Ming, are you really going to reforge your natal sword?" Elder Yue wanted to confirm further.

If Shen Ming were to abandon the path of the sword and become a disciple of the Qi Sect, that would be a good choice.

Although an incomplete swordsmanship may limit one's potential, it is still far superior to most disciples of the Taihao Sect and is worth cultivating.

"Yes."

Shen Ming nodded.

Elder Yue gave up trying to persuade him; he saw determination in Shen Ming's eyes.

Such a prodigy must have an extraordinary temperament and would never accept compromise or settling for less.

Elder Yue pondered to himself, "Although he sacrificed two Heavenly Dao Crystals, from the perspective of draining the Sword Sect, he can definitely bankrupt the Sword Sect. If he abandons the Sword Dao in the future, he can also become a great help to my Qi Sect."

With this thought in mind, Elder Yue's expression relaxed.

"The earth, the source of all things, is the power of the origin of heaven and earth, which nourishes all things and is one of the treasures of the Taihao Gate Gods."

"But these treasures are not primarily used for reincarnation, so I don't carry them with me," Elder Yue said.

But Shen Ming is currently in the Heavenly Path of Reincarnation, and he needs it right now.

"Elder, even in the Taihao Sect, the Soil of All Things is a priceless treasure. It can't be given away so easily, can it?"

Lin Buqun couldn't help but say.

As a disciple of the Taihao Sect, he sensed something was off about Elder Yue's tone, as if Shen Ming could obtain the Soil of All Things as long as he joined the Taihao Sect.

Why!

Just because he can make the ancient bell ring nine times?

Just because he can trigger the nine-colored vortex?

Just because he thinks he can defeat the Void King Beast with the help of the Ruins of Return?

Hmm? As he thought about it, Lin Buqun realized that he wasn't very confident.

However, he was still unhappy that Shen Ming had received so many benefits without doing anything.

Suddenly, Lin Buqun's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.

“Elder, isn’t the Apocalypse just beginning? We can let Junior Brother Shen participate. He can represent the Sword Sect disciples and go with me.”

As he spoke, Lin Buqun immediately looked at Shen Ming and continued, "Junior brother, Tianqi is also within the range of the Heavenly Road. There is all kinds of soil there, and even the immortal metal that you used to reforge your natal sword."

Shen Ming has no shortage of immortal gold, and the Great Luo Palace has a large number of natural treasures that he doesn't need.

Although the celestial gold from the lower realms would be weakened when it reached the upper realms, its sheer quantity made up for it.

It can be refined into celestial gold from the upper realm through the "Eternal Universe Scripture".

However, he was still quite interested in the Apocalypse.

What is divine revelation?

Elder Yue frowned, seemingly hesitating whether or not to agree.

"The Apocalypse not only has Void God Realm, but also True God Realm, and even enemies that require the strength of Heavenly God Realm to deal with."

Shen Ming was still in the early stage of the Void God Realm, belonging to the weakest group.

Rewards like the Soil of All Things will only belong to the strongest.

Shen Ming didn't back down; he wanted to hear more, as he had encountered even more difficult situations before.

"The demon race of Baiyujing has always harbored hatred towards the nine clans of my human race, especially before the beginning of the era. In the lower realm, the demon race was often the target of hunting and capture, which they regarded as a disgrace."

The demon race wants us to experience the same humiliation through their so-called divine revelation.

It was a hunting war, except that we humans were the prey.

Humanity's actions in Apocalypse will buy time for peace, allowing the demon race to cease hostilities.

Elder Yue continued to tell him the details of the Apocalypse.

In fact, the reason why Tongtianlou and the nine human clans actively welcome disciples from the lower realm is because of the pressure brought by the demon race; they need people in all aspects.

“Junior Brother Shen Ming, every new disciple who comes down to the mortal realm must participate in the next Heavenly Revelation with us,” Lin Buqun said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming felt that this was the right way to do it.

He thought the nine sects of the human race were running a charity because they treated these newcomers so well.

This is fair, especially considering how easily Shen Ming completed the Four Symbols Return to Nothingness.

“Elder, then I will go with my senior brother to participate in the Apocalypse.” Shen Ming made his decision.

Even if you don't get the Soil of All Things in the end, the fierce competition will help you improve your cultivation level.

He aims to attain enlightenment within ten years, and he must seize every minute and second.

As for danger, Shen Ming didn't pay much attention to it.

Looking back on his spiritual practice, he realized that he himself seemed to be the greatest danger to others.

Elder Yue hesitated whether to agree.

He wouldn't have minded at first, but now he's a little reluctant to part with it.

“Elder, the performance of the Sword Sect disciples in previous years at Tianqi has been unsatisfactory. It’s time to help Junior Brother Shen Ming change things up,” Lin Buqun said.

Elder Yue glared at him, but had no choice but to agree.

Shen Ming will participate in Tianqi as a disciple of the Taihao Sect's Sword School.
