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

Shen Ming headed towards the forbidden zone of life. He hadn't flown far when he turned back and nodded goodbye to Yao Yao.

We were able to escape this predicament thanks to her arrangements.

Yao Yao immediately flashed a bright smile, waved goodbye, but soon a hint of resentment crept in her eyes as she said, "Father, why didn't you let him stay in the Demon Court?"

“He’s a human.”

"But isn't our Demon Court supposed to govern the world, including the human race?" Yao Yao asked, puzzled.

"The time is not right yet, and judging from his performance, he intends to turn around and rule my Demon Court."

The Southern Demon Emperor noticed something out of the corner of his eye and said irritably, "If you two go with me, don't ever come back to the Demon Court."

It turned out that the Howling Moon Demon God and the Burning Heaven Demon God still wanted to follow Shen Ming, especially the former, who was reluctant to part with him, even though he didn't know what to say or do, it was purely out of instinct.

After Shen Ming completely disappeared, the bright moon behind the Howling Moon Demon God also vanished.

The Burning Heaven Demon God hadn't even lit the flame yet, and was staring longingly in the direction Shen Ming had left.

"How do you know that lighting the fire won't make him worship that human like he did?" the Southern Demon Emperor asked.

The Burning Heaven Demon God looked at Xiao Yue and hesitated.

“Isn’t this a perfect opportunity to verify exactly where the problem lies?” Yao Yao immediately said.

If the Burning Heaven Demon God's ignition of the fire seed also results in a similar reaction to Howling Moon, then it means that Shen Ming tampered with the divine methods, or perhaps, it truly is an existence above the sun and moon.

"In the Temple of the Sun, humans must remain devout, even if it is because of him, it is done unintentionally."

The Southern Demon Emperor spoke earnestly, saying, "If he becomes aware of his abilities, then it won't just be the Golden Crow Clan and the Heavenly Wolf Clan who yearn for and worship him."

Shen Ming could easily dismantle the Demon Court with this move.

Yao Yao felt a chill run down her spine and sighed, "No wonder the Divine Court went to such lengths to kill him; they must have realized he was a major threat."

"Yes, but he will be the key to fighting against the Divine Court in the future."

If it weren't for this, given the threat posed by Shen Ming, the Southern Demon Emperor wouldn't have let him leave so easily.

"Go to the moon and confirm the Guanghan Palace and the Taiyin Divine Path."

Yao Yao's eyes lit up. The Demon Court controlled the route to the moon, but it wouldn't use it easily. Once exposed, it would invite retaliation from the Divine Court.

Now that we've fallen out with the Other Shore Cult, there's no need to be afraid.

……

Gu Tongjin piloted the ship to the other shore, transporting them to another location in Baiyujing.

Not far directly in front of it is the Tower of Heaven, which connects heaven and earth.

Unable to rely on the demon race, he could only turn to the nine sects of the human race for help.

Gu Tongjin now firmly believes that only by allowing someone who represents the will of a region can Shen Ming be killed.

Because Shen Ming possesses great fortune, he cannot be easily intercepted and killed.

"He taught the demon race the Taiyin Divine Path. As far as the nine sects of the human race are concerned, they will never forgive him. Compared to the fickle demon race, the human race is easier to manipulate."

Thinking of this, Gu Tongjin immediately had the ship from the other shore teleport him outside the Tower of Heaven.

"Crossing to the other shore, traversing all heavens; the divine court patrols all realms!"

The ancient Tongtian sound was like a great bell, resounding throughout the entire Tongtian Tower.

Divine Court!

These two are more useful among humans than among demons.

Twelve figures appeared, all twelve Grand Luo Dao Lords had arrived in the sky, each of them losing their usual majesty and even showing restraint.

The last time the Divine Court appeared, it was to block the Heavenly Road and prevent a large number of humans from entering the Jade Capital.

No measures were taken against the human race who had already established themselves in Baiyujing.

They even left them with divine artifacts that could withstand the demon race, which is why the Tower of Heaven has reached its current size.

“Baiyujing is a land promised by the Divine Court to all the alien races. It is truly not easy for you to survive in the cracks and defy fate,” Gu Tongjin said.

The twelve Great Luo Dao Lords were no longer tense; judging from their words, they were not there to cause them trouble.

"The battle for immortal destiny is about to begin, and it will be a contest between the emperors of each day," Gu Tongjin added.

The Great Luo Dao Lords were overjoyed. They were trapped at the peak of the Longevity Realm, just like the big and small giants in the lower realm, unable to climb any higher.

Immortal affinity represents the realm of immortals.

"First, our ancestors chose an emperor for us, then there was the struggle for immortal destiny. Things are getting better, everything is getting better." A Grand Luo Dao Master wept with joy.

Some Grand Luo Dao Masters remained vigilant, wanting to know what the price would be.

Gu Tongjin smiled slightly, knowing that the time was right, and explained his purpose.

……

At the same time, Shen Ming arrived at Bai Yujing's forbidden zone of life.

This forbidden zone of life has a style very similar to Bai Yujing.

The heavens and earth seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, with broken fragments floating in the void.

Each fragment is an independent world, scattered and suspended in mid-air, floating uncertainly.

Each fragment shimmered with a strange light, sometimes dim, sometimes dazzling, seemingly containing countless unsolved mysteries and boundless dangers.

The gaps between the fragments seemed to be swallowing everything, and the surrounding space was incredibly eerie, sometimes becoming blurry and sometimes filled with a chilling aura.

A desolate atmosphere permeated the air, with occasional, barely perceptible whispers.

Some resemble enormous abysses, their bottoms disappearing into darkness, like a bottomless whirlpool.

Between the fragments, numerous runes shimmer with a mysterious light, looking very tempting. However, upon closer inspection, one can see that some of the runes begin to wriggle.

If one were to analyze these runes using the "Original True Explanation," they might go insane on the spot.

Shen Ming frowned. The forbidden zone of life he was looking for must have fire-attribute energy, and these didn't seem to be it.

He stepped forward slightly, sensing the river-suppressing stone tablet within his body.

The moment he stepped into the forbidden zone, he felt the long-lost power of Tianpeng.

So he looked back, hoping the ship on the other side would appear.

Unfortunately, the leader of the Other Shore Sect did not pursue them; otherwise, he could have been killed on the spot.

"Did you think I would join the Demon Court?"

So Shen Ming continued to explore this forbidden zone of life, trying to find a suitable place to forge swords.

Wandering through the endless fragments of this forbidden zone of life, the void beneath my feet trembles, each step feeling like stepping into a collapsing world.

The oppressive atmosphere around them grew stronger, and countless eyes were watching from the shadows.

But when Shen Ming looked over, he found nothing.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the distance, flickering in and out of sight, like a tiny spark lost in the vast darkness.

Shen Ming's gaze sharpened, and with a thought, he arrived at the area of ​​fragments where the firelight was located.

The firelight emanated from a furnace located at the very center of the fragment, and the entire fragment area resembled an ancient workshop, radiating a mysterious metallic sheen.

This was not the place Shen Ming had imagined for forging swords, but he had a feeling that this would be the place where he forged his swords!
