If the Bright Moon Shines in the Sky, How Can the Stars Compete with Its Radiance?

"It's still in his hands," Liu Xun said.

"He didn't hand it over voluntarily?" Liu Tianming asked, his voice filled with confusion.

Liu Xun nodded:

He has a lot of ideas of his own.

Liu Tianming suddenly laughed:

"What does a stand-in need to have their own ideas?"

He shook his head as he spoke:

"Using such clueless substitutes makes it seem like our ancestors were resorting to desperate measures."

"If you need it, I'll have someone make him hand it over," Liu Xun said.

"Never mind."

Liu Tianming shook his head:

Why bother asking for it?

"Considering he didn't embarrass me, I'll give him a chance."

"He paid it voluntarily, so let's just let it go."

Liu Xun didn't speak, but a thought flashed through her mind.

This matter probably can't be left like this.

After all, Lu Changzhi was keeping even the more important information to himself, intending to possess it all for himself, let alone this artifact from the Emperor Dao.

Thinking to himself, Liu Tianming suddenly said:

"Did Father think I would be surprised that I knew he would Grasp of Return to the Void?"

Liu Xun looked at Liu Tianming, her expression shifting slightly.

Liu Tianming suddenly smiled:

"Actually, the Grasp of Return to the Void isn't that difficult; I learned it a long time ago."

"But I just haven't said it yet, planning to do it all later so you'll realize that my progress isn't as slow as you think."

After saying this, Liu Tianming finally finished gathering the power in his palm.

The next moment, he raised his hand and reached out to grab Liu Xun.

Brush.

Suddenly, a giant hand seemed to materialize in the void and reached straight for Liu Xun.

Liu Xun's expression brightened, and he raised his hand to grab the incoming palm.

Bang!

The two palms touched and held for a moment before the palm formed by Liu Tianming suddenly dispersed.

Liu Xun withdrew his hand, a smile appearing on his face:

"Seeing your dissatisfaction, you've actually started imitating it yourself."

"Indeed, it exceeded my expectations."

Liu Tianming simply smiled slightly:

"It's nothing."

Liu Xun's eyes lit up:

"Show it again?"

Liu Tianming shook his head:

"It was just to remind Father that I'm not the stand-in. I can do anything he can do. It's just that Father seemed a little too nervous after giving me this information."

"Constantly doubting your own strength will make you weaker."

After saying that, Liu Tianming turned around and left, retracing his steps.

Liu Xun stood still for a moment, then finally shook his head and smiled.

"What they mean by Tianming is true; that's certainly the point."

Regarding the matter of the Emperor Dao, although Lu Changzhi's performance was outstanding, upon closer examination, it was only because Tianming did not participate.

If the bright moon hangs high in the sky, how can the starlight compete with its brilliance?

Somewhere in the Misty Clear Realm.

"What? No, really? I just missed this opportunity, and now there's no more Emperor Dao?" The boy stared wide-eyed at the people around him.

"Please accept my condolences," someone comforted him.

"We only gained a little benefit and some insights from the Emperor Dao, nothing much, so you don't need to be so regretful."

"I really am..." The boy was immediately overwhelmed with comfort:

"I'm such a fucking idiot! I've never gone into seclusion before, and then suddenly I thought I'd give it a try. And damn it, it was only three days late! If the Emperor Dao had opened for a month, I could still have made it in time. But this... damn it!"

"It's alright, it's alright," another person comforted them.

"It's all fate. What's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be, you can't force. There's no need to be too sad."

The boy remained silent, then turned to look:

"You went too, right? What did you find?"

"It's nothing really." The man shook his head.

"At most, it can only offset a few years of arduous training."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy's expression froze.

After a long silence, he finally couldn't help but stand up, his face full of exasperation:

"The ones biting people outside are fake; you two are the real dogs!"

As he spoke, he turned to walk outside.

The two men exchanged a glance, burst into laughter, and then stepped forward to stop the boy. One of them Human Dao:

"Although you missed the Emperor Dao, there's another good thing that you've just happened to catch, right after you emerged from seclusion."

"What good news?" The boy turned his head to look.

The two glanced around at the people around them, then lowered their voices, looking mysterious:

"The Emperor's Tomb."

"What?!"

The boy's eyes widened:

"Really?"

"It's true!" one person declared confidently.

"I got this information through special channels, it's definitely true."

"Do many people know about this?" The boy took a deep breath.

The two exchanged a glance:

"Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know, and he knows."

Just then, two people met not far away, and one of them spoke:

"Have you heard? An imperial tomb is about to open!"

Juvenile. "..."

"Ahem, they know too."

"Alright, alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer," the other Human Dao.

"I heard it was the Yue Clan that leaked the news. I guess this imperial tomb is no ordinary place, and they need some people to lead the charge for them, so they released the information."

The boy looked disgusted.

"Is this suicide mission a good thing?"

"Crisis and opportunity go hand in hand, don't they?" The man smiled.

"I'm going anyway. I definitely won't get the lion's share of the benefits, but it's an imperial tomb. Even if we only get a few scraps, it will be enough to benefit us for life."

"I'm going too. The Emperor's Tomb. If I don't get a glimpse of it this time, who knows if I'll ever have a second chance in this life," another person chimed in.

The boy looked thoughtful, then slapped his thigh:

"Damn it, we missed the Emperor Dao, but we absolutely cannot miss the Imperial Tomb."

"Go ahead, let's fucking gamble!"

Yue Clan.

"The Liu Clan, when they move, they are truly swift and decisive. This imperial tomb, whether real or fake, will undoubtedly give them a good show."

Having inexplicably become the source of news about the Emperor's Tomb, the high-ranking members of the Yue Clan present all showed dissatisfaction.

"But that's not necessarily true," another voice said.

"That place isn't within my Misty Clear Realm. The Liu Clan probably doesn't have that kind of influence yet. But Lin Xie clearly has a secret. The news about the Emperor's Tomb probably came from him."

"So, this so-called imperial tomb might actually be genuine?" Someone's expression shifted slightly.

"The Liu Clan dared to make this public, so they must have been prepared. Besides, the information that has been leaked may not all be true." One person shook his head.

"This is a trap set by his Liu Clan," Yue Peng said at this moment.

Whether it's true or false, once you get involved, you'll be at a disadvantage.

"Then what about us?" Someone looked over.

"Disrupt the proceedings."

Yue Peng looked outside:

"If they're spreading rumors in the Misty Clear Realm, then we'll spread rumors in other realms, exaggerate, fan the flames, and muddy the waters."

"The more unknowns there are, the less controllable it becomes. We'll see if the Liu Clan can still maintain their composure then."
