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

Shen Ming's group in Baiyujing was acting on behalf of the Guanghan Palace, collecting fragments of the world.

The Palace Master of Guanghan Palace is the Moon Goddess Yunxi. The two are close friends who met on the Xuanhuang Continent, broke the injustice of the Nine Realms, and glimpsed a corner of the upper realm.

Therefore, Shen Ming did not mind acting on behalf of Guanghan Palace.

Yunxi is good, that's why he's good.

But now, things are getting more and more complicated, and these alone are not enough; a sufficiently prestigious identity is also needed.

Shen Ming naturally thought of the Heavenly Court.

He has a strong connection with the Heavenly Court, such as the River-Suppressing Stele and the Power of Tianpeng.

Moreover, the upper realm has the Demon Court, the Immortal Court, and the Divine Court, but not the Heavenly Court. When discussing it, they are referring to the ancient Heavenly Court.

Shen Ming always thought that it was because the Divine Court was deliberately suppressing them that no one dared to do that.

He didn't mind; since he and the Divine Court were already irreconcilable enemies, it was perfect to use them.

To Shen Ming's utter surprise, things were not as simple as he had imagined.

When his words resounded throughout heaven and earth, proclaiming himself the new ruler of the Heavenly Court, it was as if a thunderclap echoed throughout the three realms.

All the Dao Lords in the realm of longevity were shocked and immediately looked up at the sky.

No matter where you are, you can see a crack in the sky.

"do not look!"

While the Dao Lords were still wondering, those Dao Ancestors who had not appeared for thousands of years suddenly spoke up to remind them.

"That is... the Ninth Realm, the Immortal Realm!"

But not everyone could hear the warning. Some people couldn't help themselves and flew toward the crack, wanting to witness the immortal realm with their own eyes.

Even if it means death, I want to satisfy my curiosity.

However, a dazzling light burst forth from the crack, instantly instilling a primal fear in these people, who scattered and fled.

This light ignored the barrier of the nine realms and disregarded all rules, heading straight in a certain direction.

"Light of Punishment! Someone else is impersonating the Heavenly Court!"

The Dao Ancestor looked at that beam of light with fear on his face and dared not delve into its source.

These words reminded the Dao Lords of the rumors about the Immortal Realm.

The celestial realm is still ruled by the ancient Heavenly Court.

If anyone tries to act on behalf of Heaven, the celestial realm will punish them, causing them to vanish into nothingness.

Of course, not everyone will offend the celestial realm. For example, a three-year-old child who claims to be the Jade Emperor will not be punished.

The Dao Lord of the Longevity Realm made a slip of the tongue, mentioning the Heavenly Court, but only with a certain probability.

Only those beings whose influence reaches the realm of immortality, acting in the name of the Heavenly Court, will absolutely incur the Light of Punishment.

Over time, the words "Heavenly Court" became taboo and were not to be mentioned lightly.

For example, right now, this light of punishment is so dazzling that it could be someone claiming to be the Lord of Heaven!

……

Baiyujing, outside the forbidden zone of life.

Shen Ming also saw the cracks appearing in the sky and the light of punishment coming toward him.

"Seriously? This is allowed?"

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

So raising the banner of the Heavenly Court is taboo? No one had ever mentioned such an important matter to him.

"Does the Heavenly Court really exist in the Immortal Realm?"

In addition, a question arose in his mind, and he thought of the words of the Jiang family ancestor: "The immortal realm is all a deception."

And the catastrophe that occurred in Baiyujing due to the divine journey to the immortal realm, as well as the invasion of the moon by the Lord of the Abyss.

He had always believed that the Heavenly Court was a thing of the past and no longer existed.

The Immortal Realm definitely holds a great secret!

At this moment, Elder Bai Mei and Elder Zi Yang were in utter despair.

The Light of Punishment attacked indiscriminately, and before Shen Ming could even make a move, they experienced its lethality.

"How dare you! If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"

“Ignorance and fearlessness!”

The only thing that brought them some comfort was that Shen Ming would be buried with them!

No sooner said than done, the light of punishment struck Shen Ming squarely.

This ray of light came from the celestial realm, locking onto him, leaving him nowhere to escape or hide.

Moreover, it contains the power of cause and effect, ignoring defense and realm, aiming to erase Shen Ming from this world at its source.

Bai Mei and Zi Yang merely endured the aftershocks before their bodies began to process them, like snow melting away.

Shen Ming could clearly feel the light of punishment invading his limbs and bones, tracing back to the deepest part, trying to completely purify him.

At that moment, the light of punishment suddenly stopped, and the crack in the sky began to churn wildly.

Shen Ming prepared for the worst, his whole body tense.

As a result, the light of punishment gradually contracted and withdrew from his body, only shining on his skin.

"Is she... afraid of me?"

Shen Ming had a strange feeling that this beam of light had discovered it had provoked an extraordinary being, and now it was caught in a dilemma.

He looked at the crack in the sky and saw that the churning was even more violent.

At this moment, disregarding any taboos, Shen Ming directly activated his Origin Heaven Divine Eye to look over.

It turned out that the crack appeared to be an eye!

The moment their eyes met, he was so frightened that his pupils shrank to slits.

The next second, the light of punishment softened, becoming golden, and moved to Shen Ming's brow.

"The Heavenly Court, the Common Ruler."

During this process, an unrecognizable voice emanated from the rift, resounding throughout the Nine Realms.

This caused a stir among the Dao Lords and Dao Ancestors of the Upper Realm!

Wasn't that the Light of Punishment? How did it become the Light of Imperial Conferment, and even the Lord of Heaven?!

"Does this mean that this supreme ruler can open the Immortal Realm?!"

Suddenly, many people were filled with fervor, eager to find this ruler of the Heavenly Court and learn more.

However, before they could trace the source, the crack in the sky closed impatiently, and all the light disappeared.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone had witnessed it, they would all think it was their own imagination.

"The Heavenly Court has been established!"

Finally, they reached a consensus, which thrilled everyone.

Except for the Divine Court!

……

"That's it?! There's no reward at all?"

Shen Ming also said that the title of "Heavenly Court Ruler" was actually a way of acknowledging him after all this fuss.

That was so scary just now, I thought they were going to destroy him, and they didn't even give him any benefits. Immortal scriptures or immortal weapons would be fine.

If I had known it was this easy, I should have shouted it out from the moon.

Shen Ming had many questions in his mind, such as whether the Light of Punishment, which had erased the traces of the two Dao Lords, intended to do the same to him.

It seems that something was found inside him, and he changed his mind.

"Could it be that I have some great secret?"

Shen Ming recalled that he had quite a few unique qualities about him.

Take, for example, the forbidden zone of life; one can enter it as if it were empty, unaffected by anything.

"Furthermore, if the Heavenly Court still exists in the Immortal Realm, why was I made its supreme ruler? Does this mean that the Heavenly Court in the Immortal Realm no longer exists, and I am the sole inheritor?"

At this moment, Shen Ming forgot all his grudges and only wanted to find out the truth about the world.

"We must find a way to go and see the Immortal Realm!"
