Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

From this point onward, one must understand one's own path, create one's own methods, and establish the foundation for the path one will take in the future.

Therefore, once you reach the King Realm, the boosts from various powerful techniques and secret arts become much smaller.

The Imperial Scripture and various secret arts no longer possess the same enormous advantage as before.

The strongest and most suitable method is the one you create yourself. This is also an important reason why many geniuses can defeat the illusory image of a Dao Proving Person before reaching the King Realm, but many cannot after reaching the King Realm.

Those who have attained enlightenment in the past basically have no weaknesses after reaching the King Realm.

With Master's talent, the techniques created by the King are undoubtedly invincible.

Therefore, for a master at the King Realm, it doesn't make much difference whether you are a prodigy from the past or a prodigy in this era who is blessed by the Great Luo Heaven.

"But Master's status in the eyes of all living beings is truly high."

Di Chen and the other two were filled with emotion. Everyone they met spoke of their master with such admiration.

It all comes from the heart, which is much harder to achieve than simply being physically strong.

"So, if people want to get various rewards, they usually choose other dungeons, such as the forbidden zone dungeon," the middle-aged cultivator continued after calming himself down.

"The Forbidden Zone instance? You mean the one formed by the Forbidden Zone Supremes?" Qin Ming asked.

"Yes, that's it. Although the drop rate for all sorts of items in the forbidden zone dungeon is not high, especially for good items, the probability is even lower."

"But it's true that some people have revealed it before. For example, last year, someone obtained a fragment of the Heavenly Venerable Scripture in the easy mode of the Reincarnation Sea, and that person immediately took off. Someone else unleashed a Nine Secrets Technique in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, which caused a sensation throughout the entire Great Luo Heaven!"

Qin Ming was thrilled: "Is it that interesting? Looks like I'll have to give it a try if I get the chance. What if I'm lucky enough to get something good?"

He certainly didn't lack cultivation techniques, but the feeling of this burst of power was completely different.

The middle-aged cultivator laughed heartily: "Young brother, you have ambition. Keep it up! I believe in you and look forward to your good news."

The middle-aged cultivator didn't know who Di Chen and the other two were. He thought they were just ordinary teenagers. However, he didn't discourage Qin Ming with his words. Instead, he smiled and encouraged him.

He admires the confidence of the teenagers, because he used to be just like them.

"Alright, you guys keep shopping. I'm going back now. I need to give my daughter the gift I bought for him."

The middle-aged monk smiled as he spoke of his daughter, clearly showing how much he loved her.

"Thank you, Uncle. Goodbye, Uncle." Qin Ming and the other two said goodbye very politely.

The three continued walking, hearing various shouts and calls along the way.

"The Demon Emperor's Friends Team is one player short for the dungeon. Looking for a quasi-Emperor with strong healing and defense. Newbies please do not apply!"

"Demon Emperor Transformation into Dragon Dungeon, 2-player mode, looking for a strong teammate, preferably a beautiful woman."

"The Forbidden Zone Reincarnation Sea Pioneering Team offers excellent benefits; come join us now!"

"Anyone want to team up to run the War Emperor dungeon? I want to see just how invincible a War Emperor who has transformed into a War Immortal is."

"Anyone want to run the Seven In and Seven Out dungeon? It's said to be based on the Seven Sons of Sirius, enemies of the Heavenly Emperor on the ancient road. Defeating the seven sons counts as clearing the dungeon, and the rewards are generous."

"The Yin-Yang Secret Realm dungeon requires a two-person team, one Yin and one Yang. Good teamwork can yield fragments of the Yin-Yang Ancient Scripture!"

Qin Ming listened, stunned: "There are so many dungeons, are they really that interesting? No wonder everyone says the Great Luo Heaven is so interesting."

"It's really fun!"

Wan Qing nodded, a smile in her eyes.

The three wandered around and unknowingly came to a square, where they stopped.

The area was crowded with people, all looking up at a huge screen of light.

On the light screen are the rankings for each realm.

The Four Extremes Ranking, the Dragon Transformation Ranking, the Sendai Ranking, the King Ranking, the Saint Ranking... each name shines brightly.

Qin Ming looked up at the Sendai Ranking, where two very famous figures were located.

First place, Yuan Dao

Second place: Tiancan-Tudou

Third place...

"Heavenly Silkworm-Potato..." Qin Ming murmured, "What a strange name."

"Yuan Dao, Heavenly Silkworm-Potato, so this is your future opponent? Interesting!"

A fighting spirit rose in the eyes of Di Chen and the other two.

At this moment, someone nearby noticed the three of them and looked them up and down.

One of the plump cultivators chuckled and said, "Oh, you young men have quite the bearing. Which great clan do you come from?"

Di Chen smiled slightly: "A rogue cultivator, just out here for training."

"A rogue cultivator?" The fat cultivator raised an eyebrow. "Can a rogue cultivator have this kind of aura?"

Another thin cultivator waved his hand: "Never mind where they came from. Gentlemen, judging from your expressions, are you eyeing the rankings?"

Qin Ming nodded: "I have that idea."

He didn't feign modesty; he admitted it directly.

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

The portly monk chuckled, "Ambitious? Then do you have the confidence to make the list? Or even get number one?"

Qin Ming looked at Di Chen, then at Wan Qing, and the three of them exchanged a glance.

Then they both nodded.

"have."

This made everyone around burst out laughing.

"Haha, these three lads are interesting!"

"Number one on the list? It's not that easy to become number one! Those are all top-tier geniuses!"

"Exactly, geniuses aren't like cabbages; how could three of them appear all at once?"

"Young people dare to dream."

The crowd discussed amongst themselves, though without any ill intent, they clearly didn't take the three boys' words seriously.

People have seen this kind of thing a lot; many newly arrived young talents have this kind of confidence.

Later on, I encountered various geniuses and setbacks, and that's how I got over them.

Qin Ming and the other two were not annoyed; they simply smiled.

Just then, a middle-aged man stepped forward.

He looked to be in his thirties, dressed in a simple blue robe, with a resolute face and gentle eyes.

"There's no need for this, everyone," the middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile.

"It's a good thing for young people to have ideals. Ideals give them the motivation to strive. We also had our spirited youth. The spirit of youth is something that can never be regenerated."

After he finished speaking, a woman next to him also came out and nodded in agreement:

"Big brother is right. We all went through the same thing back then. Although we haven't made a name for ourselves yet, at least we tried. Young people should have dreams."

The woman looked to be around thirty years old, wearing a light blue long dress, with gentle features.

Qin Ming and his two companions looked at the man and woman, their hearts warmed, and they thanked them, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, seniors."

The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand:

"I wouldn't call it teaching, but as someone who hasn't been successful, I'd like to share some honest advice. However, having dreams isn't enough; you also need to work hard and cultivate diligently. There are many opportunities in the Great Luo Heaven; as long as you're willing to put in the effort, you'll always reap the rewards."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "You two seniors are too modest. Isn't the peak of the Great Sage stage already quite impressive?"

Although the power of the Origin Realm has exploded, a peak Great Sage is still a figure of considerable importance.

The woman shook her head and sighed, "I'm still far from it. Back in my small town, I thought I would become a world-renowned genius because of some great opportunity. But after coming here, I realized what it means to be outdone by someone else."

The middle-aged man sighed, "Yes, I thought I was a genius back then, but when I came to Da Luo Tian Hou, I found that there were geniuses everywhere, each one more amazing than the last."

"Moreover, the main reason why my siblings and I have achieved what we have today is because we were lucky enough to receive help from benefactors."

"A benefactor?"
