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

Most of the insights gained from practicing the techniques are no more than a hundred words, and each word is the culmination of countless hours of hard work.

Therefore, a slight difference can lead to a huge error.

Even a single wrong word could lead to a qi deviation, loss of consciousness, and a regression in one's original martial arts level.

Given the Taiyi Sect's infamous reputation, Shen Ming naturally wouldn't easily trust them.

Zhou Muchen's martial arts oath is another matter entirely.

If you break your oath, you will not be able to improve your martial arts skills.

The other party can't possibly ruin their own future just to deceive him.

So, Shen Ming accepted the insights handed to him by the other party.

The tense atmosphere in the square became subtle.

The disciples of Xuantian Sect who were practicing the "Wandering Heaven Steps" were somewhat nervous.

Long ago, their senior brothers and sisters were greatly deceived by the Taiyi Sect and were given a warning.

This time, based on the martial arts oath, things should be different.

"Let me make this clear first, every word above is true. If you can't master it, it's because your understanding of the 'Skywalking Steps' is too superficial!" Zhou Muchen provoked.

He's too weak to use his hands now, all he has left is his mouth.

These insights are not techniques; they do not require daily practice. Simply understanding their meaning will bring profound enlightenment.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Shen Ming said.

Immediately someone brought a prayer mat and placed it on the ground.

"How wonderful! Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he will understand my cultivation based on the oath of martial arts. When the time comes, he will suffer a qi deviation and become a huge joke."

Seeing him sitting on the futon reading his notes, Zhou Muchen thought about what would happen next and realized that he could accept defeat.

"Baili Chuan, demonstrate the Taiyi Sect's 'Taiqing Sky-Walking Steps'," Zhou Muchen said.

A young man emerged from among the disciples of the Taiyi Sect.

Dressed in a white robe, his posture was as upright as a pine tree. With a slight movement, he shot out like lightning.

With each step, the air beneath one's feet vibrated slightly, creating ripples.

Although he didn't fly, he sped directly over the square!

It was as fast as lightning, and also full of a mysterious rhythm.

The martial artists in the square exclaimed in surprise, marveling that it truly lived up to the Taiyi Sect's profound teachings.

Baili Chuan is only at the second level of the Innate Realm. If he were to reach the third level, wouldn't he be able to stroll among the mountains and walk on air?

“Compared to the ‘Taiqing Sky-Wandering Steps’, your Xuantian Sect’s ‘Sky-Wandering Steps’ has only scratched the surface. The reason you haven’t made any progress in recent years is because you’re not on the same level,” Zhou Muchen said.

"you!"

The disciples of Xuantian Sect were furious.

"I'm ready."

At this moment, Shen Ming stood up, a look of joy on his face.

It doesn't take long to gain insight and understanding.

By understanding its profound meaning, one can elevate their existing martial arts skills to a higher level.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be suffering from qi deviation at all, Zhou Muchen assumed he was just making a fuss.

Shen Ming didn't say anything. He took a step forward and, just like Baili Chuan had done before, sped back and forth in the air above the square.

Electricity surged beneath his feet, arcs of electricity flashing and waving in the air.

Compared to Bailichuan, Shen Ming's "Taiqing Youtianbu" is different, more rapid, and related to his personal original true qi.

Zhou Muchen was dumbfounded, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Despite minor discrepancies, this is indeed "Taiqing Youtianbu," surpassing even Bailichuan in quality.

The problem is that the insights are based on the "Martial Arts Manual"!

Without the "Martial Arts Manual," any insights gained are merely castles in the air.

Zhou Muchen vaguely knew he had committed a grave offense.

“Mysterious Emperor, the Dharma is not to be passed on lightly! I only said that I would teach you my insights, and you must not pass them on to others!” Zhou Muchen tried to make amends.

Shen Ming felt a little regretful, as he had been thinking of sharing it with the other disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

However, this claim does exist.

Zhou Muchen was still uneasy and planned to go to his brother to explain the matter before leading the Taiyi Sect members away.

As for the dojo and such, naturally, they couldn't afford to worry about that.

The disciples of Xuantian Sect cheered in unison.

Shen Ming defeated the Taiyi Sect and successfully mastered the "Taiqing Traveling Steps".

That was so satisfying! Absolutely so satisfying!

On the ancient tree, Yunxi lightly touched the branches with her toes, taking in everything that had just happened.

“The past has changed; he has severed the cause and effect of time!” Yunxi was more shocked by this result than anyone else.

Because in her memory, today's events were a success for the Taiyi Sect.

Now, the Taiyi Sect members slunk away with their tails between their legs.

Yunxi's heart was filled with tremendous turmoil.

At one point, I also felt a strong sense of unease.

Since his rebirth, thanks to his precognitive abilities, he has a thorough understanding of both people and events, and is in complete control of the situation.

A stranger suddenly appears, disrupting the past, changing the present, and influencing the future.

After processing this unease, Yunxi wondered whether this Xuan Emperor was good or bad!

The standard for good or bad is not about being kind-hearted, but about how one would treat the ancient tribes.

Jiang Changkong of the Jiang family acted as the butcher's knife of the ancient clan, and with his first strike, he killed most of the Jiang family.

Ji Xuan of the Ji family is extremely cunning and treacherous. Under the guise of resisting the ancient clans, he seizes power and profit.

During the turmoil, she witnessed too much of the ugly side of people.

What Yunxi fears is that if this Xuan Tianzi favors the ancient clans, it will shake her plans!

She has to figure this out!

……

“Senior Brother Shen, that princess of the Tianlan Dynasty has been keeping a close eye on you,” Lei Qianjue said.

“So many people are watching, and you’re still the senior brother,” Shen Ming said.

"No, I called you senior brother when we were in the Demon Suppression Tower because you were better at climbing the tower than me. Now it's because you're better than me. That princess sees you differently from the others. You wouldn't have let her down, would you?"

"I don't know any of them, so it's really hard to say who's stronger or weaker," Shen Ming said.

The disciples nearby were amazed to hear the two people discussing two things in the same sentence, and doing so naturally and fluently.

Lei Qianjue found himself having a very pleasant conversation with Shen Ming, and felt a thrill of meeting a kindred spirit.

“If you want to become a candidate for the Divine Child, you must become number one on both the Heavenly and Earthly Rankings. How about we have a match today? You’ve just mastered the ‘Taiqing Traveling Steps’ and haven’t had any real combat experience yet. You’ll need to face Gu Changge tomorrow,” Lei Qianjue said.

"Huh? Of course."

Shen Ming was somewhat surprised, but this was a good thing for him; only a fierce battle could test the results.

However, since Lei Qianjue is the top-ranked person on the Earth Ranking, he needs to take the initiative to challenge him and choose a good day.

"go!"

Lei Qianjue took the initiative to invite him, and in fact, Shen Ming's behavior just now showed that he recognized this Xuan Tianzi.

Originally, as the top-ranked person on the Earth Ranking, he was not convinced that Shen Ming had become the Xuan Emperor.

Regardless of whether one is magnanimous or not, in the struggle for the greater good, there are some things that must be fought for.

The two decided not to fight openly, firstly to avoid damaging their relationship, and secondly to avoid exposing Shen Ming's strength.

They entered the inner domain and competed under the rankings of Fengyun Peak.

Lei Qianjue possesses the Five Thunder Body, and his five divine treasures are filled with the power of thunder.

He also cultivated the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique," and when he unleashed the "Divine Elephant Collapsing the Sky," it was truly as powerful as thunder.

Shen Ming had to go all out, his Limitless True Qi spreading throughout his entire body.

The Limitless True Qi neutralized all the lightning, preventing the body from becoming paralyzed.

The two fought fiercely for a quarter of an hour before a winner was finally decided.

At Fengyun Peak, the rankings on the Fengyun Ranking have changed.

First, Shen Ming.
