Chapter 277 Moon Emperor!
These past few days, the Eternal Fairy has been trying hard to fall back asleep, but all her attempts have failed. Today, she even heard a commotion outside.
It's so noisy! Can't a person get any sleep?
The Eternal Immortal Spirit peered out from behind the crack in the door and saw the scene reflected in the Great Luo Mirror.
Huh? That's the Great Luo Terrace!
The Eternal Immortal was very surprised. After watching Shen Ming cultivate the Eternal Universe Cauldron, he realized that Shen Ming was just a normal human being.
It is not one of those indescribable, terrifying beings from the depths of space.
The Eternal Immortal Spirit couldn't help but laugh at herself for the anxiety she had been living these past few days.
Perhaps, this human simply received some kind of inheritance from the Eternal Emperor, which awakened her from her dream.
Damn!
Lost in thought, he lost his balance and crashed into the door frame.
The commotion she made was, to outsiders, no less than a god descending to earth; now everyone knew she had awakened.
The Eternal Immortal Spirit, taking advantage of the situation, gently waved her jade hand, and amidst countless horrified gazes, starlight flew out from the Eternal Palace.
At this, the seven elders of the Eternal Palace were so excited that they could hardly control themselves, and their bodies trembled violently.
"The quasi-emperor has gained the approval of the Eternal Palace!"
The younger disciples quickly realized that since the quasi-emperor was not restricted by the Eternal Palace, he might be able to successfully cultivate the Eternal Dharma Body and soar to great heights in the future.
"We've really brought back an imperial prince!"
Nangong Tian now felt that the resources he had used were worthwhile, and that his academy would sweep across the battlefields beyond the domain in the future.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Ming walked out of the Daluo Palace, still radiating a crystal-clear golden glow, his temperament naturally refined.
At the same time, the gates of the Eternal Palace were fully opened, and the interior could not be seen from the outside.
More eternal radiance flew out, twinkling like stars, instantly attracting the attention of countless eyes.
The radiance gradually converged, and as the light continued to solidify, a powerful and vigorous character "恒" (heng, meaning constant/unchanging) slowly took shape, with each stroke containing endless mysteries.
The character “恒” landed precisely on Shen Ming’s brow, disappearing into it bit by bit.
A divine gift!
If the commotion at the Eternal Palace earlier made it unclear whether it was related to Shen Ming, then now it's undeniable.
The seven elders in the Eternal Palace were so excited they could hardly contain themselves. They stared intently at the gate, hoping that the light would fall upon them.
However, the doors of the Hall of Eternity closed again.
"Is this alright now?" The Eternal Fairy tried to fall asleep again.
Shen Ming closed his eyes, comprehending each stroke of the character, and knew that this was the cultivation method for the Eternal Dharma Body.
However, before reaching the fourth level of cultivation, one cannot comprehend its profound mysteries.
Congratulations, Junior Brother Ming!
Princess Nihuang stepped forward excitedly, showing no trace of her initial opposition.
Ying Wushuang thought for a moment, then went up with a bright smile to make herself known to others.
This world worships the strong. Whether it was Shen Ming refining the Hengyu Cauldron or the Eternal Radiance, they were all convinced of its power.
"Junior brother, this is the Hunyuan Pearl, which is much better than the Tongtian Lingyu. It should be my gift as a congratulatory present." Nangong Qian regained the enthusiasm she had when they first met.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister, but I already have the corresponding spiritual items myself," Shen Ming politely declined.
Nangong Qian was unwilling, but helpless, Shen Ming's attitude was firm.
"Everyone, please come back."
At this moment, the tallest of the seven elders in the Eternal Palace walked over. His voice was gentle, yet it possessed an irresistible power.
"Senior Brother Su."
Nangong Tian maintained his respect for him and immediately said, "The ceremony is over, everyone leave!"
The disciples, who had hoped to have a deeper conversation with Shen Ming, left in frustration.
After the outsiders left, the seven old men surrounded Shen Ming, as if they had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin.
……
"Dean! Dean! Good news! The Eternal Palace is making a move!"
After leaving the Eternal Palace, Nangong Tian hurriedly found the Dean and told him everything that had just happened.
"He used those resources to gain the approval of the immortals of the Eternal Palace?" Dean Eternal was also moved, but not overjoyed.
“Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes, it can’t be fake,” Nangong Tian said.
Dean Yongheng pondered for a moment and said, "Very good, then let's begin preparations for the Imperial Son's Grand Ceremony."
"Ah? Dean, but that..." Nangong Tian was taken aback, not understanding the dean's intention.
"You intend to suppress the news, deceive everyone, and secretly cultivate the imperial prince?"
"Indeed, this is the hope that the Emperor has given us."
Dean Yongheng pursed his lips and said with a hint of helplessness, "With so many people present at the time, how could we possibly keep it a secret? Deliberately concealing it would only bring more trouble."
Nangong Tian thought that Princess Nihuang was among the disciples present at the time, and that the news must have already reached the Panyue Dynasty by now.
"Dean, is there really no other way?" Nangong Tian asked, unwilling to give up.
Dean Eternal frowned and said, "You're making me sound like a bad guy. The Moon Emperor selected our Eternal Academy and chose the most outstanding imperial son to send to the Moon Forbidden Zone. Neither of us wants our academy's disciples, whom we've nurtured for many years, to go to such a dangerous place. Just then, we received a message from the lower realm that an Eternal Imperial Son is coming to our academy."
I convened a meeting with you and the other three temple masters to unanimously decide to send this person to the Moon Forbidden Zone in our place. If I remember correctly, you agreed as well, right?
“At the time, we thought it was an imposter, and that’s how we treat scammers,” Nangong Tian argued.
"Are we now risking offending the Moon Emperor, placing our hopes on him, and waiting for him to avenge us in the future?"
Dean Yongheng said, "Let me ask you, does he have such deep feelings for our academy? Do the other three halls agree?"
At this, Nangong Tian was speechless.
"Go and prepare," Dean Eternal said.
"Yes."
……
Soon, news that the Eternal Academy was going to hold the Imperial Son Ceremony spread throughout the outer battlefields.
"So sudden?!"
All parties were quite surprised, thinking that the Eternal Academy had kept its secret well, as there had been no prior indication of its existence.
"Is it Zhang Ruochen from the Hong Palace, Qin Tian from the Di Palace, or Lu Chen from the Huang Palace?"
The first thing that comes to mind is the renowned disciples of the Eternal Academy.
"No, it was a boy named Ming Sheng from the Eternal Palace who suddenly appeared."
"what?!"
The answer was unexpected: Who is Ming Sheng? I've never heard of him before.
When did academies begin to secretly cultivate imperial princes like powerful families?
If that's the case, wouldn't the disciples from each hall who compete fairly, and even fight with others in the hunting battles outside the territory, become a joke?
Immediately, there was much discussion and all sorts of opinions.
The news that the Imperial Prince's Ceremony would be held three months later caught many people off guard.
Upon reaching the Dominator Realm, one possesses a lifespan of a thousand years, with time often measured in 'years'.
Three months is about the same as three days for someone in the Dominator Realm.
Eternal Academy is so eager to finalize the identity of the Imperial Prince!
