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

This is the most outstanding among the three thousand beauties, not only in terms of appearance but also in terms of temperament.

Her beautiful and refined appearance was like a lotus emerging from the water, gentle and graceful like the moon reflected in a pond, serene and tranquil.

Dressed in plain white clothes with light gauze draping down, her figure was as light as flowing water.

Facing Shen Ming, she remained poised and showed just the right amount of respect.

This wasn't an act; it came from the heart. The fact that this human could command such fervor from the demon race was astonishing to them.

"What's your name?" Shen Ming asked.

"Nangong Qing".

What did that person mean by that?

Nangong Qing knew he would ask this question, and she had already thought about how to answer it.

"Have you ever heard of divine travel to the fairyland?" she asked.

In Baiyujing, Zhenjun is an honorific title for the Heavenly God Realm.

"Are you referring to the catastrophe that tore Baiyujing apart back then?" Shen Ming asked uncertainly.

Nangong Qing and the other women were all surprised, not expecting that Shen Ming really knew.

"Our souls will still travel to the fairyland."

Then, Nangong Qing said something that shocked Shen Ming.

"Didn't the Divine Court already seal the entrance to the Immortal Realm?!" he asked, puzzled.

"Even among the nine sects of the human race, they don't know these things. It seems that True Lord knows a lot about the Immortal Realm?" Nangong Qing asked, puzzled.

"You go first."

"Yes."

Nangong Qing realized that she had overstepped her bounds, immediately lowered her head, and continued to tell Shen Ming what had happened.

She and the other humans living beneath the Demon Court were not from the lower realm, but natives of the Jade Capital, and therefore did not need to complete the cycle of reincarnation.

The Demon Court neither exterminated them nor kept them as livestock.

On the contrary, they built several great cities and elected a king.

The purpose was not out of goodwill, but to make humans work for the demon court, taking on all the dirty and hard work.

Shen Ming was greatly surprised. He had fought his way up from the lower realm and had never encountered such a demon race before.

If those before were just an insignificant rabble, then the Demon Court is a regular army.

What Yao Yao said earlier wasn't just empty talk; she genuinely wanted to create a demon court that could rival the divine court.

In ancient times there was a Heavenly Court, now there is a Divine Court, so a Demon Court doesn't seem so unacceptable.

"The Demon Court is still wary of the growth of the human race and controls every aspect of their lives, limiting human cultivation to the peak of the Human Realm and preventing them from breaking through to the Divine Realm," Nangong Qing said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming looked at the three thousand beauties, all of whom were at the Void God Realm.

"Because you wandered into the fairyland and violated the taboos of the demon court?" Shen Ming said.

"Yes!"

Nangong Qing and the other women nodded repeatedly, their faces full of helplessness.

"This is beyond our control. There are no divine souls in the human realm. We don't even know where the entrance to the immortal realm is, yet all of this has happened," Nangong Qing said helplessly.

In other words, they broke through to the realm of immortality while lying down.

If those ancient giants in the lower realms knew this, their Dao hearts might collapse.

“The Demon Court doesn’t know what happened either. Because everything was out of control, they drove all the humans who had broken through to the Divine Realm out of the Demon Court,” Nangong Qing said.

Shen Ming subconsciously thought that this was transferring power to the nine sects of the human race.

Then he realized that the cultivators who wandered in the celestial realm were all ticking time bombs.

Their souls could replace the original owner at any time, and they are filled with malice towards the real world outside.

“The nine sects of the human race not only do not accept us, but they even call for our deaths,” Nangong Qing said.

Shen Ming nodded, roughly understanding the situation these people were in.

“If I don’t take you in, you will be kicked out of the Demon Court and become prey and targets of the Nine Sects of the Human Race,” Shen Ming concluded.

"Yes, it might be even worse. The Demon Court is afraid that we will become a force to be reckoned with, so they will kill half of us directly."

Nangong Qing nodded, so after they saw that Shen Ming was a human, they all felt like they had found a new way out.

"Aren't there too many of you? Does the Demon Court need to gather enough people before it can expel you?" Shen Ming thought of this question again.

Nangong Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Because we broke through to the Divine Realm at the same time, the divinity that each of us traced resonated with the Three Thousand Great Daos. It was like being in a fairyland. Our souls reached a consensus and decided to cultivate a certain technique together. The Demon Court wanted to figure out everything that happened to us, which is why it has been delayed until now."

"Understood, you can stay here for now," Shen Ming said.

The Great Luo Palace can accommodate three thousand people. If their problem of traveling to the Immortal Realm can be solved, then there are three thousand geniuses of the Divine Path Realm in the Upper Realm.

If sent to the Moon Palace, it would become a force to be reckoned with.

"Thank you, Master!"

The simultaneous voices of three thousand beauties were truly wonderful.

Shen Ming couldn't help but laugh, thinking that if he took it back to Yunxi and Li Miaozhen, they would think he was having a harem.

"By the way, don't you feel anything about the fairyland?" Shen Ming asked.

Nangong Qing thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, True Lord. We will formulate several different codes every day and supervise each other. If anyone is replaced by a divine soul, we will find out immediately."

She thought that this was what Shen Ming was worried about—that he would destroy the Great Luo Palace.

Shen Ming wasn't asking about that. He treated entering the forbidden zone like coming home; he'd seen it all.

"I mean... is there any way to actively enter the fairyland and take a look?" Shen Ming asked.

He had heard about the fairy realm from Bone Master before, and he wanted to see what it would be like if his soul were split into two people.

"Is the True Lord joking?"

Nangong Qing couldn't understand why a normal person, knowing the terror of the fairyland, would be willing to risk being replaced.

"I was just saying."

Shen Ming smiled; he also felt that others wouldn't understand him.

If Jian Li were here, she would definitely understand him.

Speaking of which, Jian Li told him to come find her, making him believe that he could sense her location no matter where he was.

But for so long, Shen Ming hadn't felt anything.

"Has he not been reincarnated yet? Or is he still in the womb?"

Shen Ming wasn't quite sure, he only knew that he missed her a little.

……

On the first level of the Devouring Heaven Tower, the Burning Heaven Demon God returned, bringing two pieces of good news.

The first piece of good news is that it can be guaranteed that the original divine way taught by Shen Ming is genuine.

The second piece of good news was that it convinced Shen Ming that the demon race would release the people.

Both pieces of good news came about using the same method.

"The Temple of the Sun!"

Facing the eager gazes of the demon gods, the Burning Heaven Demon God said, "He will impart the power of Yin, and we will impart the power of Yang. We will do this in the temple and dojo to ensure that there will be no mistakes."

The many demon gods were shocked, never expecting the Demon Emperor to have achieved this.

“However, none of us have yet mastered the primordial divine path of the sun, not even the Golden Crow clan has been able to do so,” someone pointed out.

"It's not our fault he didn't master it. We wouldn't lie. If we don't say anything, how would anyone know? Just hint that someone else has mastered it, and make him believe it, right?"

The Demon God of Burning Heaven smiled confidently.
