My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 427: The Fake Emperor

Shen Ming's expression remained calm as he looked straight at the emperor.

"If you can achieve this, your achievements must be quite high if you are not an emperor of the mortal world."

"Let me guess... Under the constraints of the rules of heaven and earth, the way of breathing in and breathing in spirits is definitely not feasible, and fake external treasures can't do it either."

"Anything that belongs to the category of 'qi' will exclude you and will not be of use to you. Therefore... you can only leave the realm of qi."

Shen Ming raised her finger and gently pinched it. A strand of invisible and colorless silk thread suddenly appeared at the tip of her finger. As she touched it, it quickly permeated her whole body as if it was eroded and dyed!

The originally invisible thread was dyed crimson, its length was unknown, and its end stretched out and was rooted in the endless void.

"My master calls this the Root of the Seven Emotions. As for what you call it... I think it's the Source of the Seven Thoughts..."

"The roots of the seven emotions build subjective existence. The subject sits in the soul and naturally emanates the seven emotions. The seven emotions interact with the objective world and thus give rise to delusion. This is why the world is so wonderful, and why the immortals' palaces are not just castles in the air, without duckweed."

"Those who cultivate the Seven Emotions Way in the world do not pay attention to their own roots. Therefore, those who embark on this path are often disturbed by it and their roots are distorted. However, if one wants to protect one's own roots, one must first embark on the Seven Emotions and then cultivate the Seven Emotions' roots."

"This has become a vicious cycle. If you want to touch the roots of the seven emotions, you must first cultivate the seven emotions. However, cultivating the seven emotions will only disturb your own roots. This is why no one has been able to master this method for thousands of years."

Having said that, Shen Ming looked at the emperor with interest.

"But you did set a precedent."

"I heard that three hundred years ago, the Yunxia Sect rose to prominence. There's a magical stone within it, and legend has it that it's the manifestation of a certain Dao principle. Once one realizes it, one can ascend to immortality."

The emperor's lips curled slightly, and his aura seemed slightly suppressed.

"No need to speculate. The sacred stone is in my hands now. I don't bother to hide it. Anyone who is interested can come and ask for it. I never turn anyone away."

"If you also want this sacred stone, I am willing to offer it to you with both hands!"

The gaunt old man, whose presence was quietly fading in the corner, had his eyes flash when he heard this, and then he lowered his head even deeper.

"Okay, that's a good opportunity for me..."

The words stopped abruptly. The red blood line wrapped around Shen Ming's fingertips suddenly began to tremble, followed by a "clang" sound! Like a zither string breaking, it suddenly broke from the void!

A sharp sound came from the depths of the soul.

The gaunt old man covered his ears tightly but it was no use, his expression was grim and painful, the sound like the breaking of a guitar string burst out from his soul, unstoppable.

The emperor also had a frown on his face, looking uncomfortable.

In this moment of panic, Shen Ming's figure suddenly disappeared! The next moment, he was right in front of him!

"Before you attack, decide how you want to treat your opponent: to death, to disability, or even to ashes. Once you've made your decision, you'll pursue that goal regardless of the cost.

All actions taken during this period are centered around this goal. Simply put, don't belabor the point if you can actually take action. If you have the power to crush them, any further comment will be a disqualification. If you can't crush them, then any further comment is simply preparation for that.

Jiang Yan's earnest teachings echoed in Shen Ming's mind, with a sick smile on his lips.

"Master, you never lied to me!"

A look of surprise flashed across the emperor's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and raised his palm to press down!

Facing Shen Ming who was so close to him, he did not shy away at all!

"town!"

It was like the words of a god or the command of an immortal. As the emperor spoke a word, infinite power suddenly appeared, and countless invisible lines were dyed with light colors and took shape.

It transformed into iron chains that tightly trapped the entire back hall! Airtight!

Shen Ming also remained in the same position with his hand raised to grab, his body blocked by chains of various colors, stretching into the void.

"I can actually break through the Seven Thoughts Heart Source so quickly..."

The Emperor's face was calm, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

"and……"

His obscure gaze swept over the place where Shen Ming came from, where there was still a thin line dyed crimson, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Moreover... it even eroded the Seven Thoughts Heart Source... Is this really something a human can do?!"

"What a monster..."

The emperor believed that with his current mental and spiritual attainments, he could remain calm even when facing powerful foreign tribes, but the person today was truly the only one he had ever seen in his life!

"Fortunately... I specially copied a copy of the Seven Thoughts Heart Source on the sacred stone before I came out, and combined it with the imprint here, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to subdue this person..."

Just when he felt relieved, he suddenly discovered that Shen Ming's face... had a mocking smile on it at some point?

"What is she laughing at?"

"Hmm...wait! Why can't I feel the connection with the Seven Minds Heart Source outside?!"

When he came to his senses, he suddenly looked around!

But he was shocked to find that his space had been separated from the outside world since he didn't know when!

The entire Qianyu Sect and this back hall are no longer a whole. They are like a baby born from the mother's womb. Although they are connected, they are two independent individuals.

In this way, the seven thoughts from the outside world will naturally no longer be able to affect the two people inside!

Snap! Clang!

The pale chains that trapped Shen Ming were suddenly tightened! There was a creaking sound that came from the soul, harsh and disgusting.

The Emperor felt dizzy at his proximity.

He subconsciously distanced himself from Shen Ming.

At the same time, there was a loud bang!

Shen Ming broke out of the trap, a silver light flashed in his eyes, and a three-dimensional rune was constructed inside, which was gorgeous and obscure.

"my world!"

Every step he took seemed to shrink the distance into an inch, and his five fingers formed into claws and were raised to freeze.

The emperor watched helplessly as his neck fell into Shen Ming's hands, and a feeling of suffocation came over him.

"No!"

With a roar, the emperor looked like a trapped prisoner with a crazy look in his eyes.

"I still have the mark on myself! I still have it! You can't kill me!"

The root of the seven emotions is the most confusing.

And with the emperor's roar, his sleeves suddenly shattered!

Dense swarms of insects rushed out from it, surrounding Shen Ming and him, forming an array.

Looking at their shapes, they are of various kinds and the auras they emit are also different.

Some make you cry, some make you sad, some make you ecstatic... and so on.

It turned out to be the mature form of the Seven Emotions Monster!

They have different auras but all have a common connection, which is the Emperor!

The light-colored lines reappeared, but they did not turn into chains. Instead, they turned into cages and mercury along with the densely packed seven-emotion monsters, imprisoning and polluting Shen Ming.

"Haha! You think you can defeat me by isolating me from the world? Hahaha! Wishful thinking! Become my slave!"

The emperor laughed like a madman, showing no fear even when Shen Ming was pinching his neck.

The crown on his head was already askew, and his black robe with dragon pattern was tattered. He no longer had the "emperor" look that he had when we first met.

Shen Ming listened to the other party's crazy and rampant laughter, and a rare look of anger appeared on his face. He was even trembling with anger, and his eyes were bloodshot.

The emperor was quite satisfied with this, thinking that it was just the helpless act of the other party.

But I heard...

“I was actually… tricked…”

"I was actually... tricked..."

The emperor's face gradually turned red, his eyeballs bulged out from being pinched by Shen Ming, and he was filled with shock and anger.

"Why! She hasn't been... assimilated yet..."

"No, if this continues... I'll really die! Seven Emotional Monsters, all of you, self-destruct! Don't underestimate me anymore! Even if I'm assimilated, I don't mind!"

The seven emotion monsters arranged in an array immediately began to accumulate energy after receiving the order, preparing to self-destruct the power of the seven emotions in their bodies to disrupt Shen Ming's cognition.

But at this moment, an accident happened!

Shen Ming still lowered her head with a gloomy expression, but the Happy Soul Butterfly she snatched from the gaunt old man began to struggle frantically, as if she could not bear it any longer.

The butterfly, which was originally the color of glass, now began to turn blood red little by little!

The butterflies that were emitting joy were twisted into anger! Boundless anger!

Even the current emperor couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"What the...what's going on?!"

The blood-red butterfly fluttered its wings slightly and flew gracefully around, like a butterfly flying through flowers to attract butterflies, attracting all the seven-emotion monsters of various shapes and sizes, and making them follow behind it.

The Seven Emotions Monster that was about to self-destruct suddenly stopped, followed the butterfly, circled around Shen Mingyao, and then fell to the ground and knelt, like a pilgrim.

"! How is it possible!! You! What did you do!?"

The emperor's voice trembled and his face was full of disbelief!

Shen Ming's face was as gloomy as water. He ignored it and blew it into pieces with a palm!

It's a pity that the other party didn't even have time to react and died here...

But Shen Ming showed no joy at all, and even felt even more depressed with the emperor's easy death.

The monsters crawling on the ground were trembling and dared not move.

"The difference is too big... How could this be the same person? Damn it... I should have thought of it earlier!"

"How could someone who possesses the power to tamper with and distort perception possibly come forward..."

Yes, Shen Ming suspected that this Dallan Emperor was fake.

It cannot be said to be fake, at least the Emperor Dalán when first met was real, but the "Emperor Dalán" in front of him was fake.

It's a bit awkward to say, but when Shen Ming isolated this space, Emperor Dallan was no longer just any emperor.

As the negotiations continued, the fake emperor's flaws became more apparent. Even if he thought he was "real", he still couldn't change the other party's "fakeness".

There is no identical situation throughout history, so how can two people have exactly the same personality?

So after only one or two contacts, Shen Ming's suspicion of him grew deeper and deeper, until he attacked with the Seven Emotions Monster, and this suspicion reached its peak.

The Seven Emotions Monster, this kind of thing that can be called "wonderful", if placed in the immortal gate cave, they can develop hundreds of ways to use it for you! Not including the means of attack!

But in the hands of this loser, he was simply using his own inner strength to pollute her cognition?

Is this the method that should be used to control the Qianyu Sect and develop it behind the scenes for countless years?

If that's the case, then the other party should just run into a wall and die. Shen Ming doesn't even need to be so careful. He can just use the talisman formation to kill them directly, easily and effortlessly.

But this is impossible...so it can only be a trap.

Shen Ming thought for a moment and found the blind spot!

The lines in her eyes took shape, and this separate space began to merge with the original space, but the edges of her own figure began to blur as if cut out, isolated from the world.

When everything returned to normal, Shen Ming's figure reappeared...

But what he saw was no longer the Qianyu Sect, but a piece of imperial city building.

Next to her was a maid who looked a little angry.

"Princess, are we really going to escape? Zhenshu is so scared... If the emperor finds out, you'll be fine, but Zhenshu will be in trouble..."

Shen Ming ignored it with an indifferent expression, but was carefully pondering something.

The pillow book was also talking to itself as if Shen Ming was communicating with it.

After a long time, Zhenshu left with a wronged look on his face, talking to the air around him as he walked, and covering his butt from time to time as if he was afraid of being beaten.

"Haha... Just as I expected, even though I was prepared, I'm still trapped here..."

"The Realm of Seven Emotions..."

Shen Ming's eyes flashed slightly. The field arranged by the Seven Thoughts Heart Source like before was actually very weak. It could only temporarily trap her for a moment.

But now this can no longer be simply called a field, it should be called a domain.

Before she came out, she had anticipated this and cut off her own pattern in advance, being out of sync with the outside world, which was equivalent to a country within a country.

Naturally, there will be no interaction with the seven emotions in this place.

"This time, we're really trapped... We can't get out anytime soon, Master..."

Shen Ming's face was gloomy.

"Master... please don't be in any trouble..."
