Chapter 242 Mingdao Heavenly Palace, Identity Revealed

Upon hearing Meng Tianzheng's words, the young prodigies ranked below 100 all brightened up, their fighting spirit rekindled.

As for the prodigies ranked above 100, they immediately felt immense pressure and dared not relax in the slightest.

At that moment, Qin Changsheng appeared beside Meng Tianzheng.

"Lord Meng."

Qin Changsheng bowed to Meng Tianzheng.

"Ah."

Meng Tianzheng nodded slightly: "You will take these candidates for Holy Sons and Holy Daughters to the Hall of Enlightenment to familiarize them with the environment. Then, you will send personnel to bring their true forms to the Heavenly Court headquarters."

"As for these true holy sons and daughters, I will take them to the Mingdao Palace for His Majesty to see."

"Yes."

Qin Changsheng led the geniuses ranked below 100 to the Qiming Palace.

Meng Tianzheng led over a hundred prodigies to Mingdao Palace.

Mingdao Palace, one of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Palaces, is located in the most central area of ​​the Heavenly Court.

Compared to the magnificent and grand Lingxiao Palace, Mingdao Palace appears serene, profound, and simple.

The natural charm of Tao permeates the palaces and mansions, while the wisdom and insight are hidden deep within the side rooms and academies.

Hundreds of young prodigies entered the Mingdao Palace and immediately felt the manifestation of the invisible laws of the Great Dao. Enveloped in rich immortal energy, their minds became clear and their bodies radiant, as if they had merged with the Dao. They felt that a day of cultivation here was equivalent to several months of arduous training outside.

This astonished all the prodigies, giving them a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Court's resources and inspiring them to secretly look forward to learning and cultivating here.

“Mingdao Palace is not only your place of study and cultivation, but also your place of residence.”

"Your residences are all here. Someone will show you around. Now, come with me to pay your respects to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

Meng Tianzheng led the group into the depths of Mingdao Palace.

"I can actually see Emperor Xia Tian in person!"

All the prodigies were invigorated, their hearts filled with both trepidation and excitement. They followed closely behind Meng Tianzheng to the Dao Inquiry Hall deep within the Mingdao Palace.

Before the Hall of Inquiry, a barrier, like ripples of water and condensed mist, flowed hazily, isolating the scene within.

Meng Tianzheng arrived before the barrier, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, all the top one hundred geniuses in this battle of geniuses have been brought here."

"Let them in."

A voice, distant and profound, like the sound of a celestial being, came from within.

"Yes."

Meng Tianzheng gave a slight nod, and the many prodigies followed him into the Hall of Inquiry.

Within the barrier lies a hidden world; the so-called Hall of Inquiry is actually an embryonic universe in its initial evolution.

The group found themselves in a singularity of infinite mass and infinite light and heat, which was constantly shrinking and collapsing, seemingly about to reach its limit.

Beside the singularity, a young man stood quietly. He was dressed in a blue snow robe, tall and slender, with a handsome and refined appearance and a profound and unfathomable temperament.

"You are here."

Xia Yi glanced at everyone and nodded slightly.

"He is none other than the Heavenly Emperor Xia Yi!"

All the prodigies present felt a chill run down their spines. Although the Heavenly Emperor was right in front of them, seemingly very close, they also felt a great distance between them, as if separated by endless space and time.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

No one dared to be negligent, and they all bowed deeply to Xia Yi.

"You are all very good. In the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, you are already among the most talented geniuses."

Xia Yi said, "But that's not enough. In the future, you will not only have to compete with each other, but also with the bloodline of the Immortal King of the Otherworld and the descendants of the Immortal King of the Immortal Realm."

"If one becomes a Celestial King after a million years, one will have to personally face the Immortal King of another realm and the Supreme Celestial King in the Boundary Sea."

"Therefore you must become stronger, break through the limits of each realm, surpass yourselves, and create a brand new path. Only in this way can you have a greater chance of surviving the great calamity to come."

Upon hearing Xia Yi's words, everyone present felt a tremor in their hearts, especially when they heard about achieving the status of Immortal King, their breathing became heavy.

"A million years to become a Celestial King, that sounds so far away," Shi Hao thought to himself.

"Immortal King, I will surely achieve this in the future!" The Ten-Crown King's eyes were resolute.

As for the immortal, Shi Yi and the others, they were also deeply moved.

“Top talents like you are close to perfection in every aspect, making it difficult for you to find your own shortcomings and directions for progress.”

"So I deliberately created an avatar to defeat you one by one, so that you would realize where your problems lie and where you need to improve."

As Xia Yi spoke, he revealed the true form of his avatar, Yi Xia, who was ranked first in the Heavenly Pride Battle.

His blurry face gradually became clear, and he looked exactly like Xia Yi.

"What?! Isha is actually the incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor!"

The assembled prodigies were all astonished, and an uproar ensued.

“Besides His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor’s incarnation, who else could defeat you so easily in a battle within the same realm?”

The witch found it quite amusing to look at the shocked and bewildered expressions of the group of geniuses.

"I knew it! How could such a powerful prodigy be unknown and suddenly appear out of nowhere? It turns out he is the incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. No wonder."

One of the prodigies suddenly realized the truth and felt somewhat better about losing to Ixia.

This is the incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. To be able to fight against him at the same level is an immense blessing. Although I was defeated miserably, it still serves as a reflection of myself and will greatly benefit my future cultivation.

"Is this the strength of Emperor Xia Tian? Even if you were to fight someone of the same level, you would be completely outmatched and wouldn't last even three moves."

The Ten-Crown King felt a chill in his heart. For someone who had experienced the Ancient Immortal Realm, defeated countless geniuses, and reigned supreme for ten lifetimes, being defeated in a battle against someone of the same realm was naturally a great blow.

Although his cultivation level is still shallow, he has already developed a proud spirit and firmly believes that he will one day stand at the pinnacle of cultivation.

Even when facing someone whose cultivation level far surpasses his, the Ten-Crown King is not afraid, firmly believing that he will definitely be able to surpass them in the future.

However, his battle against Xia Yi's avatar in the same realm made him experience an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and despair with no chance of victory.

The other party not only broke through the extreme realm in cultivation, but also forged a path that was uniquely their own.

The invisible force field within his physical body, the mysterious seals condensed in the cave, and the three primordial spirits that seemed to embody the Dao—all these were beyond his comprehension, leaving him utterly unable to devise a way to defeat them.

Even now that he knows that Yixia is the incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor Xia Yi, he does not feel that his defeat is justified like others. On the contrary, he feels even more solemn and under greater pressure.

"So Yixia is the incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, how powerful! Although I have lost this time, I will never admit defeat and will definitely catch up in the future!"

Shi Hao, on the other hand, was full of fighting spirit. He did not take Xia Yi's identity for granted, but instead used his failure as motivation to move forward.
