Chapter 37: This One, Is a Sage Realm Emperor!

In the seventh ring of the Imperial Ducheng, there was a dilapidated small courtyard.

This was where Xiao Ming practiced daily, and also one of the former residences of the Sage remnant soul in his necklace.

Inside, there was a secret room hiding the treasures the Sage remnant soul had collected in the past.

Relying on these things, and the guidance of the Sage remnant soul, Xiao Ming had transformed from a genius of a fallen family into one of the top talents in the Imperial Ducheng.

Early in the morning, Xiao Ming was cultivating diligently; vigorous energy was circulating in his meridians, and his strength was constantly improving, with a faint trend of breaking through to the Mid-Stage Shattering Void Realm.

Seeing this, the Sage remnant soul was very emotional.

Originally, according to his estimation, Xiao Ming would need at least two more months to break through.

However, these few days of 'humiliation-style' cultivation had caused Xiao Ming's cultivation speed to rise rapidly.

As a former powerhouse of the continent, the Sage remnant soul naturally observed some details.

Xiao Ming was born in a city on the border of the Tian Ce Dynasty and had been a genius known to everyone in the area since childhood, also showing considerable cultivation talent.

But good times didn't last long; one day over ten years ago, enemies came knocking.

His father was killed, his mother was abducted, and his family was exterminated.

He escaped the pursuit of the enemies alone; at this stage, Xiao Ming was the true genius, showing an astonishing cultivation speed.

On the journey from the border to the Imperial Ducheng, he encountered many dangers, which he repeatedly turned into safety, and his strength obtained a qualitative improvement.

Growing from a genius of a small ordinary city into one of the top talents in a core area like the Imperial Ducheng.

As time passed, the Sage remnant soul discovered that Xiao Ming's cultivation speed began to slow down.

The Sage remnant soul now recalled that this kid should have started to show such a situation when he met his first romantic interest on the road, only it wasn't obvious at the time.

He also met quite a few women on the road, but Xiao Ming still insisted on coming to the Imperial Ducheng.

The problem lay in the Imperial Ducheng; he met Chu Ruoyan, a stunning woman who made him lose his soul.

At this time on a normal day, Xiao Ming would definitely not be cultivating in the courtyard, but running to the training grounds of the family disciples to fight for Chu Ruoyan's favor.

And fighting with Liu Hao and Wu Qi, these two geniuses.

The Sage remnant soul felt that if Xiao Ming hadn't wasted so much time, his cultivation would at least be higher than Liu Hao's.

But Xiao Ming was young and had pursuits, and the Sage remnant soul, as a master, naturally understood; everyone loves beauty.

As long as he cultivated normally, if no accidents happened, he could also have a very high cultivation, and finally, naturally, he would find a way to resurrect the Sage remnant soul, at which point the Sage remnant soul would take him to impact the Sage Realm.

As for whether Xiao Ming could make it up before his lifespan ran out, that would depend on his fate.

As a master, this was all he could do.

But now, with Chu Ruoyan's departure, the Sage remnant soul discovered that his disciple's cultivation was rising at a terrifying speed, even more terrifying than his peak period in the past.

If he maintained this speed, then becoming a Sage Realm expert was just around the corner!

The Sage remnant soul really wanted to say: If you had cultivated like this earlier, wouldn't that girl have been your woman long ago?

The Sage remnant soul was also somewhat self-blaming; it was all because he, as a master, hadn't discovered it; what did a kid like Xiao Ming know?

Women only affect the speed of his cultivation!

The more humiliated he was, the more he could endure loneliness, and naturally, his cultivation speed would be fast.

So regarding the matter of taking Chu Ruoyan away in 7 days, the Sage remnant soul began to hesitate.

If this kid and that girl were to fly together, then what the hell would he cultivate? Wouldn't his head be full of thoughts about making babies?

At that time, not only would he be kidney-deficient and physically weak, but his attention wouldn't be focused, and his life would be ruined.

This old man was still counting on you to resurrect him; that would be even more hopeless. After thinking it over, the Sage remnant soul felt that not only could he not let Xiao Ming take Chu Ruoyan away, but he even had to find a way to let Chu Ruoyan be with that Emperor earlier.

This kind of humiliation could make Xiao Ming rise up and cultivate!

To put it bluntly, this kid was just cheap; if he didn't do this, he wouldn't cultivate properly.

The Sage remnant soul looked at Xiao Ming: It's not that I'm not helping you, master doing this is also for your own good!

After making up his mind, the Sage remnant soul began to plan what to do next.

Xiao Ming, who was cultivating hard, never imagined that in a few days, a world where everyone wins, only he gets hurt, would appear!

On the other side, Li Chen's mood was very good right now; finally, there was a reason not to attend the morning court.

Sunlight first sprinkled down, and the capital of the Tian Ce Dynasty was bathed in a golden radiance.

Today was the decennial ceremony of Yun Lu Academy, and the entire capital was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Quite a few scholars who had come from afar even regarded today as a day of pilgrimage!

And in this festivity, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly the imperial carriage slowly driving toward the academy.

On the carriage, the nine-fathom-high flag fluttered in the wind, and the twelve tassels hanging from it swayed lightly like tassels; the sun, moon, and rising dragon patterns drawn on the flag were lifelike, as if they could ride the clouds and mist at any time, rushing straight into the sky.

Driving the carriage were six rare and exotic beasts; they were both descendants of the mixed blood of Qilin and Dragon, and possessed extraordinary strength and wisdom, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly, manifesting the majesty and nobility of the royal family.

The carriage was guarded by Imperial Guards on all sides; they wore iron armor, held long spears, and their gazes were firm, swearing to protect Li Chen on the carriage to the death.

!

Of course, this was also the time the Imperial Guards didn't need to worry the most; after all, Li Chen was a Sage Realm expert, who would dare to attack him for no reason?

Even so, the Imperial Guards still brought out two hundred percent of their spirit; His Majesty's majesty could not be questioned!

Wherever Li Chen's carriage passed, the ten thousand people all knelt, their faces filled with awe and piety, as if they were welcoming a god who had descended to the mortal world.

Finally, the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Yun Lu Academy.

At this time, an old man with a straight figure, sixteen-pack abs, and a white beard stepped out slowly.

He was the Master of the Yun Lu Academy, the Sage Master Yu, whom countless readers of the Tian Ce Dynasty looked up to.

Possessing Sage Realm cultivation, he was even more proficient in both literature and martial arts; in this world where the strong are respected, he was enough to look down upon the world.

However, today, he had personally welcomed them to the academy gate; this move shocked everyone present.

One must know, when great scholars from other countries visited, Master Yu only sipped tea and waited on the top floor of the Star-Gazing Tower.

Even when the late Emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty arrived, Master Yu only welcomed him at the gate of the Star-Gazing Tower.

No one had ever been able to make him personally come to the academy gate.

Just as everyone was discussing, the curtain of the carriage was slowly pulled open, and a young man wearing a dragon robe stepped out slowly.

His temperament was transcendent and refined, as if he were as long-lived as heaven and earth, and shone as brightly as the sun and moon!

His whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint fairy light and mist; saying he was a divine lord from above the nine heavens descending to earth was not an exaggeration at all.

Li Chen was too lazy to act; he directly released the pressure of the Sage Realm.

In an instant, the void was shaking, as if setting off ten thousand feet of stormy waves.

That surging aura rushing from the ancient years penetrated the firmament!

Everyone present looked up at this new Emperor, their eyes filled with shock and awe!

Is this the new Emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty?

Sure enough, he is divine and martial, and his strength is even more unfathomable!

No wonder even Master Yu had to personally come to welcome him.

The strong indeed have the qualification not to kneel to the Emperor.

But this one, is a Sage Realm Emperor!

Are you stronger than him? Do you dare not kneel?

Now, whether it was the great scholars from other countries, the powerhouses of the Tian Ce Dynasty, or some famous scholars with high status, all knelt on the ground.

The pressure was instantly given to Master Yu.

Because he was the only one in the whole audience who hadn't knelt in front of Li Chen.

Everyone in the audience wanted to know, facing this Sage Realm Emperor who had already released his aura, would he kneel, or would he not kneel!
