I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

The Mo family elder, filled with extreme terror, tried to resist. But under the pressure of the river of stars and sword intent, he could only kneel on the ground, barely holding on.

Seeing this scene, the Empress furrowed her brows slightly but still didn't intervene to stop it.

Mo Tian had provoked Su Zhan first, and his excessive arrogance and conceit indeed deserved some punishment.

However, this Su Zhan… A hint of astonishment appeared in the Empress's eyes.

Just a sword intent alone could suppress a late Origin Elixir realm cultivator from standing up. Too powerful!

Previously, she thought she could have fought Su Zhan in a battle, with a fifty-fifty chance of winning. But now, after Su Zhan condensed the Origin Elixir, even the confident Empress couldn't help but feel a trace of fear from the depths of her heart!

"No, no, please!"

Half of his face already buried in the ground, Mo Tian, his face covered in blood, finally felt fear and dread. His voice trembled as he pleaded, "Don't kill me, I-I know I was wrong, please don't kill me!"

Under the pressure of the river of stars and sword intent, Mo Tian could clearly sense that if Su Zhan wanted to, that river of stars and sword intent would directly crush him, leaving him no chance of survival!

And the elder…

Watching the Mo family elder, who was also struggling to support himself while kneeling on the ground, Mo Tian was horrified.

Even a late Origin Elixir realm cultivator appeared like an ant before Su Zhan! But Su Zhan had just broken through to the Origin Elixir realm, right? Wasn't it said that there was a significant difference even between small realms once you reached the Origin Elixir realm?

But now, Su Zhan had just achieved the Origin Elixir realm, and a single sword intent could suppress a late Origin Elixir realm! What the hell is going on here??? Mo Tian's mind was in shambles. He felt that all the understanding about the Origin Elixir realm that his elders had told him was completely overturned!

This Origin Elixir realm of Su Zhan's was completely outrageous compared to what his elders had told him about the Origin Elixir realm.

"Weren't you going to challenge me?" Su Zhan asked in surprise. "With your current state, how can you challenge me?"

"I…" Mo Tian felt greatly insulted, but the fear in his heart made his voice tremble as he begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I didn't know you were so powerful. I-I thought you were similar to me. I-I won't dare anymore… please, please spare me this once."

"So, this is what a genius is like," Su Zhan shook his head, retracted his sword intent, and couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention.

"Thank you, thank you, Lord Su, for sparing my life!" Mo Tian struggled to get up, his face covered in blood, and kowtowed to Su Zhan.

At this moment, he no longer harbored much anger in his heart, only the joy of surviving a calamity and the deep-seated fear of Su Zhan! He honestly asked himself, if he were in Su Zhan's position and someone provoked him like this, then having such strength, he would have probably killed them with a single punch…

Being able to walk away with his life this time was already a stroke of luck!

Su Zhan didn't look at Mo Tian. He turned to the Empress and said, "Now that the agreement between Yiyi and me has been fulfilled, I'll take my leave."

"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to leave, the Empress reached out and pulled him back for a moment.

Then, feeling that it was inappropriate, she quickly retracted her hand and said, "Su Zhan, I have heard that your unique divine body combines the power of stars and the sun. It must be highly compatible with martial arts of these two attributes, right?"

"Yes."

"Well then, I have a body-refining technique of the star element that I can bestow upon you. I can guarantee that your Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect has nothing comparable to this body-refining technique!"

Body-refining technique? And it aligns with my attributes?

Su Zhan's interest was piqued, but soon, he frowned and asked, "What does the Empress want in return?"

"I only want a promise from you," the Empress chuckled. "If Flower Moon Country encounters great difficulties in the future, I hope that you can lend a hand."

"If it truly comes to that, and I have the ability to help, I will." Su Zhan nodded.

"Very well, follow me." The Empress took a step forward, and Su Zhan followed, leaving the place together.

As for Mo Tian, his top priority was to seek healing for his injuries. He wouldn't continue cultivating in the Sacred Pool at this time.

"Senior Brother Su, it's just… too, too…" Hua Yiyi stared blankly at Su Zhan as he walked away, unable to find the right words.

It wasn't until Su Zhan left that Mo Tian, who had finally managed to get up from the ground, forced a bitter smile and his voice trembled slightly: "He's just too abnormal…"

…

Outside a beautifully crafted courtyard.

The Empress watched as Su Zhan began practicing the technique she had bestowed upon him, a smile appearing on her face.

"Empress, even though the ‘Limitless Stellar Body' is only a fragment, it is still comparable to a high-grade body-refining technique. It is incredibly precious. Are you really giving it to him like this?" Beside her, a black-clad attendant woman spoke.

"Exchanging a body-refining technique for Su Zhan's promise is a surefire deal, and besides, it might also help attract him."

"But if that's the case, Empress, why don't you also share with him the insights and solutions from the late Emperor's practice of this technique?" The black-clad woman was somewhat puzzled. "That way, he would be even more grateful to you, wouldn't he?"

"You don't understand," the Empress chuckled. "He is an unparalleled genius. If I give it to him directly, he might accept it, but he may not appreciate its true value. However, if he struggles in his own cultivation and then I offer assistance, the effect will be completely different!"

"Wise decision, Empress. But what if Su Zhan comprehends it on his own…"

"Impossible!" The Empress was very confident. "The difficulty of cultivating the Limitless Stellar Body surpasses that of ordinary high-grade martial arts. Even for a regular Origin Elixir realm cultivator, it would take at least five years to grasp the basics! But with Su Zhan's exceptional talent and his Star attribute divine body, I estimate he will grasp the basics… in just a month!"

"But geniuses like him tend to be impatient. Wait and see, in a few days, when he makes no progress in his own cultivation, he will come to seek advice from me! At that time, it will be natural for me to provide him with answers, and he will naturally develop a favorable impression of me, and then…"

"Empress, I can't help but feel that this isn't just about attracting him, but rather, it's about attracting a husband… Ah, no, no, Xiaodie misspoke!" the attendant woman named Xiaodie, who had followed the Empress since she was a child was a bit unrestrained, but realized her words were too audacious, and quickly apologized.

"Hmph! Be more careful with your words in the future!" To her surprise, the Empress didn't get too angry. She just snorted lightly and left with her hands behind her back.

"Empress, what's going on?" Xiaodie stood there in a daze, murmuring to herself, then quickly caught up with the Empress.

…

In the courtyard, Su Zhan was fully focused on cultivating the Limitless Stellar Body.

This technique was indeed powerful, and after obtaining it, he followed the Empress's suggestion and began cultivating it within the palace. This place, known as the "Starry Courtyard," was exceptionally quiet. At night, it would be subjected to the influence of the stellar tides even more!

This was also the reason why Su Zhan agreed to stay here for cultivation. Since the initial stage wouldn't be too difficult and wouldn't take much time, he decided to make use of this place to grasp the basics of this martial art before taking his leave.

Three days later.

In the courtyard, Su Zhan's mind stirred, and his true qi circulated. A faint layer of starlight appeared on his body, covering him completely.

As his true qi was maximized, that layer of starlight suddenly brightened. It transformed into a thin layer of pale blue starlight, about a centimeter thick, covering his body. Although it didn't possess the overwhelming might of other body-refining techniques, Su Zhan could sense it himself.

Under the state of the Limitless Stellar Body, his physical strength increased tenfold!

Most importantly, the layer of starlight provided him with a powerful defense.

"With this level of starlight barrier… even if I stand still, I doubt that a Origin Elixir realm early-stage cultivator could kill me," Su Zhan speculated with excitement.

Feeling quite thrilled, he guessed the specific effects would only be known once he tested them on someone. Now that he had grasped the basics of the Limitless Stellar Body, he could bid farewell to the Empress. With that thought in mind, Su Zhan lightly tapped his toes and flew towards the Empress's sleeping quarters.
