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

The Mysterious Purple Palace is the residence of the sect leader.

There are no magnificent palaces here, no extravagant decorations.

The clear stream flows gently, its sound crisp and melodious, like the music of nature.

The stream leaps and bounds among the rocks, creating white splashes.

In the distance, mountains rise and fall, shrouded in mist.

The mountain peaks appear and disappear in the clouds and mist, resembling a beautiful ink painting.

Even the residence of the sect leader was just a small building.

In the backyard of the small building, there are many works of art, including landscape paintings, stone carvings, and sand table architecture.

The sect leader, Liang Mingxi, wore a solemn and majestic feather robe, radiating a thin layer of light. He was tall and slender, with an elegant and unparalleled appearance.

His face showed a hint of helplessness.

"Isn't this a bit too extravagant?" Liang Mingxi said.

Around him, nine senior elders of the 'Xuan' generation stood in a row.

Three living fossils of the "Yi" generation, who have been out of the public eye for a long time, stood in a row, each exuding a powerful aura.

“Mingxi, you are the youngest Sovereign Realm cultivator in the Northern Region, and you are also the hope of my Xuantian Sect,” Elder Yili said.

“If everyone’s cultivation progressed faster, and there were more Sovereign Realm cultivators, we wouldn’t need to make such a fuss,” Liang Mingxi said.

The eyes of the Supreme Elders present twitched. They were all stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Supreme Realm. If they didn't know that the Sect Leader had this kind of personality, they would have fought desperately no matter what.

That's inhuman! It's infuriating!

"There will be a lot of people at the Xuan Tian Grand Ceremony, won't there?" Liang Mingxi said with a worried expression.

Everyone thought that the Xuan Tian Sect Leader was detached from worldly affairs, but in fact, he didn't like crowds.

This is related to one's upbringing. Being outstanding from a young age means being the center of attention and the focus of countless eyes wherever one goes.

Liang Mingxi didn't like this, and he didn't think it was because he was too fast, but because others were too slow.

"Sect Leader, keep quiet and act like a master when the time comes," said one of the Grand Elders.

"This is something I'm good at."

Liang Mingxi nodded slightly without saying a word, which made others think he was unfathomable.

Next, these high-ranking members of the Xuantian Sect finalized the rules and regulations for the Xuantian Grand Ceremony.

Such an important matter cannot afford any mistakes.

After it was over, Liang Mingxi kept Elder Xuanyuan behind.

Elder Xuan Yuan was completely bewildered, then he saw Shen Ming arrive at the Xuan Tian Purple Mansion.

Elder Xuan Yuan had a headache.

These days, whenever the younger generation of Tongtian Peak sees him, they just shake their heads, their faces saying, "Elder, you're senile."

He regretted it himself, but what was done was done, and he had no choice but to give up.

I just don't know why the sect leader kept me here.

"Shen Ming, your performance in the Spirit Treasury this time was excellent. You earned high praise from both the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect and the Purple Sun Sect. This is something that ordinary disciples cannot achieve."

This is the Xuan Tian Robe, a Heavenly-grade spiritual treasure, impervious to water and fire, and capable of resisting deadly poisons.

As he spoke, Liang Mingxi took out a magnificent feather robe, its material as smooth as silk yet as tough as steel.

When light falls on the feathered garment, it shimmers with iridescent colors, creating a dreamlike and enchanting effect that captivates the viewer.

Shen Ming knew they were there to collect a reward, but his brows furrowed.

"What? You don't like it?" Liang Mingxi asked with a smile.

"It's too glamorous, and the outfit is too eye-catching," Shen Ming said bluntly.

Liang Mingxi's eyes lit up; he realized he was not alone in his path.

"Then change into this lapis lazuli battle suit."

Also a Heavenly-grade spiritual treasure, it has a blue base and exudes a cold and mysterious aura.

It is made of a special metal, tightly connected, and has the soft texture of clothing.

"Take it. As the Son of Heaven, how can I not have three or four Heaven-level spiritual treasures?" Liang Mingxi said.

"Thank you very much, Sect Leader." Shen Ming said sincerely.

The Xuantian Sect truly treated him well; apart from a few exceptions, they were all good people.

"One Heavenly-grade spiritual treasure alone is not enough. You will receive an additional reward for killing that Zi Yan, who is on the Demonic Path Bounty List."

Liang Mingxi said, "You are cultivating the 'Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique,' and I will have Elder Xuanyuan enlighten you."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan Yuan finally understood why he had stayed behind.

That makes sense; Shen Ming made a contribution and was able to receive a moment of enlightenment from the Supreme Elder.

The "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique" is one of the true techniques deduced by Tongtian Peak back then, so it is reasonable for him to enlighten it.

However, considering all that had come up, Xuan Yuan felt a strange sense of unease.

This is even more bitter than a mute person eating bitter melon!

"Enlightenment?" Shen Ming didn't quite understand.

"The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force opens up 840 million giant elephant particles in the human body, which means success, and you can challenge the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower."

After that, one can return to the starting point and cultivate Dragon-Elephant Particles on the Giant Elephant Particles, then Primordial Particles, until the entire human body is filled with Divine Elephant Particles, which is the Great Completion.

Elder Xuan Yuan said, "I have already reached the Yuanxiang realm. Now I will guide you to open up the Dragon Elephant Microparticles. How much progress you can make depends on your own destiny."

Liang Mingxi also said, "If you can condense dragon-elephant particles to blast away Zi Yan with the power of your giant elephant, you will be invincible in the Divine Treasure Realm."

"It depends on how much he can absorb. With such a short time, he hasn't accumulated enough experience..."

Xuan Yuan stopped mid-sentence, remembering Shen Ming's performance at the Demon Suppression Tower, and dared not make a definitive statement.

The giant elephant particles give rise to the dragon elephant particles, which has nothing to do with comprehension or true energy; it relies on accumulation.

"This kid can't possibly unlock all the Dragon-Elephant Microparticles at once, can he?"

Xuan Yuan changed his mind to muttering to himself.

Enlightenment won't affect him, but if he were to undergo a single cleansing and guidance process to open up 840 million Dragon Elephant Microparticles, it would exhaust him.

His old bones can't withstand any more stress.

"Elder, please rest assured, I have an innate holy body and a supreme Dao embryo, I am absolutely fine."

Shen Ming's eyes were burning, and his face was filled with fervor.

Xuan Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he seriously suspected that the kid was doing it on purpose.

There was nothing he could do; with the sect leader watching from the side, he came up behind Shen Ming.

"Let's begin," Liang Mingxi gestured.

Xuan Yuan placed his hands on his shoulders and activated the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force," which manifested as a majestic and extraordinary Yuan Elephant outside the Demon Suppression Tower.

At the same time, Shen Ming's body trembled, and the giant elephant particles all over his body began to surge repeatedly.

Each surge of energy is accompanied by golden light, signifying the emergence of a dragon-elephant power.

After shaking the ground 840 million times, Shen Ming can enter the second level of the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique"!

Elder Xuan Yuan felt that his earlier worries were somewhat unnecessary.

He enlightened many people, including Luo Cheng.

No matter how talented someone is, they can only shake the world a hundred million times at most.

The elder's bad habit kicked in, and he thought to himself, "What kind of genius haven't I seen!"

A thousand times...

Five thousand times...

One hundred million...

Three hundred million...

Elder Xuan Yuan began to break out in a cold sweat, his eyes became sunken, and he became severely lethargic.

"Elder Xuan Yuan, don't force yourself." Liang Mingxi couldn't help but speak up when he saw this.

"Elder, leave the rest to me. You can rest now," Shen Ming said, sensing the elder's fatigue.

These two sentences are no less than adding fuel to the fire.

Who exactly is receiving enlightenment?

How did it become "This old man doesn't want to force himself"?

Who do you think you are?!

"If you're so capable, then give me the Primordial Particle directly!" Xuan Yuan said fiercely, going all out.

"Hiss! Elder Xuan Yuan is so selfless! The other elders said he was unwilling to teach disciples. Indeed, rumors should not be believed."

Liang Mingxi was greatly surprised when he saw this scene.

Shen Ming felt a warmth in his heart. He and this Supreme Elder were complete strangers, yet the other party was going to great lengths for him.

There are still more good people than bad in the world!
