Chapter 39 Everlasting Imperial Court, Daughter Of Destiny Su Ziyuan
"Ancestor, the Su Family wants to elevate to a top-tier power and needs the permission of the Everlasting Imperial Court. Should we formally apply for evaluation?"
A month after the grand wedding, Su Yun approached Su Changsheng to report.
After this period of development, the Su Family not only occupied a portion of the Myriad Beast Sect's territory, but their influence also skyrocketed. They subjugated many forces and attracted numerous powerful individuals.
Currently, the Su Family has a multitude of experts, with nearly a hundred in the Everlasting Realm and several thousand in the Law Manifestation Realm, surpassing many top-tier powers in the True Saint Continent.
It can be said that, apart from the Saints, the overall strength of the Su Family has surpassed many top-tier powers in the True Saint Continent.
This standard fully satisfies the requirements to become a top-tier power, but there is still a hurdle they cannot bypass, which is the Everlasting Imperial Court.
The Everlasting Imperial Court.
It is a terrifying force that rules over countless divine domains, one of the overlords of the Everlasting Heaven Realm. It is extremely powerful and a true Emperor Grade power, founded by the Immortal Great Emperor.
All the countless forces under its command must abide by the rules of the Everlasting Imperial Court.
To elevate to a higher power, not only must the corresponding conditions be met, but also an evaluation by the Everlasting Imperial Court is required.
The Su Family only lacks one evaluation to become a true top-tier power.
"The Imperial Court..." Su Changsheng fell into contemplation.
Back when he roamed the True Saint Continent, he had also interacted with the powerful individuals of the Everlasting Imperial Court.
This force is terrifying. If the Su Family wants to become an Emperor Clan, the Everlasting Imperial Court is an insurmountable obstacle.
Of course, that is something to consider in the future.
For now, the Everlasting Imperial Court is an unbeatable behemoth for the Su Family, and they simply cannot afford to provoke it.
Since they cannot afford to provoke it, they can temporarily conform to the rules and abide by them.
"Then let's apply. I believe the Imperial Court won't make things difficult for a small Su Family!" Su Changsheng nodded.
"Yes, Ancestor!" Su Yun's expression showed a hint of joy. The Su Family's elevation to a top-tier power was a matter of pride and excitement for him as the family head.
Soon, Su Yun bowed and left.
"It's been a month, and the moon still hasn't gotten pregnant. It seems that Qingge will take a long time to conceive. Looks like I'll have to continue trying or take new wives and concubines!"
Su Changsheng tapped lightly on the table, his eyes flickering.
With his current cultivation level, and considering that his wives and concubines are at least at the Divine Body level, having a child is not a simple matter.
If luck is not on their side, it's possible that they won't be able to conceive for many years, let alone just one or two months.
If they want to have a child quickly, they can only focus on new wives and concubines, casting a wide net to increase their chances.
"It's not easy to find someone with a Divine Body aptitude!"
Su Changsheng sighed lightly.
Divine Bodies are extremely rare. In a vast continent with countless living beings, the number of Divine Bodies can be counted on one's fingers, and most of them are male, with very few females.
Finding one is extremely difficult.
Even if they don't limit themselves to physique, there are also very few with exceptional aptitude.
It's impossible in the short term.
"Oh right, the Su Family still has a Heavenly Destiny Daughter. I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about her!"
Su Changsheng's mind stirred as he remembered Su Ziyuan, a girl with a destiny comparable to Gu Qingge's, and even more astonishing than Bai Yuege.
However, she has the Su surname and shares the same bloodline, which makes Su Changsheng feel somewhat conflicted.
"Whatever, let's meet her first!"
Su Changsheng sighed inwardly. If she's a good match, what does it matter if she's surnamed Su?
He had already taken the Heavenly Destiny Empress, so having one more surnamed Su wouldn't make a difference.
Buzz!
With these thoughts in mind, Su Changsheng tapped lightly with his fingers, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from the original location.
...
Heavenly Origin City, spanning thousands of miles, is an extremely vast territory, almost like a small dynasty.
As the ruling family, the Su Family occupies nearly one-third of the city, which is their ancestral land.
In this vast ancestral land, there are an astonishing number of Su Family members.
And on the outskirts of the Su Family's territory.
Inside a not-so-spacious palace, a beautiful and determined-looking young girl opened her eyes, her delicate face showing a bitter expression.
"My cultivation power has disappeared again. It's been three years, and there's still no progress. How infuriating!"
"If things continue like this, how can I ensure that my parents' memorial tablets are placed in the ancestral hall!"
The beautiful girl clenched her fist, her delicate face filled with unwillingness and bitterness.
Her name is Su Ziyuan.
She is a disciple of the ninth branch of the Su Family, and is about to be transferred to a collateral branch.
Her status and position within the Su Family are not high.
Her parents were also Su Family members who were not highly regarded. Their cultivation level was only at the Divine Ability Realm, but they still had some status and resources.
However, three years ago, her parents died in an attack by the Gu Family. After their deaths, her status greatly declined and her resources were greatly reduced.
If that was all, it would have been fine.
Perhaps it was because the death of her parents had a great impact on her.
In her subsequent cultivation, her cultivation level not only did not progress at all, but instead became weaker and regressed rapidly.
In just three years, she went from being a genius at the True Origin Realm to only the first level of the Qi Sea.
No matter how she cultivated, the cultivation power nurtured in her Qi Sea would inexplicably disappear.
This made Su Ziyuan extremely distressed.
Because if things continued like this, she would be expelled from the main branch and become a disciple of a collateral branch.
The Su Family does not tolerate useless individuals. Even if one is a disciple of the main branch, they can still be demoted to a collateral branch.
And disciples of collateral branches would be driven out of Heavenly Origin City to guard industries in remote areas.
If luck was bad, they might even be sent to some harsh and difficult places.
Su Ziyuan was not afraid of hardship, but if she fell to become a disciple of a collateral branch, her parents' memorial tablets would not be able to enter the ancestral hall.
This was not something she wanted to see.
"There is still time, as long as our family can make it into the top ten in the clan competition, or break through the Celestial Human Realm, we can enter the ancestral shrine!" Su Ziyuan clenched her small fist and muttered to herself.
There are still three years left until the clan competition.
As long as she works hard, she still has a chance, even though it is very slim, she must succeed.
"I should go and collect the resources for the next week!"
Su Ziyuan stood up, rubbed her slightly sore body, and walked out of the palace towards another location.
The Su Family is very large, and to avoid trouble for some lower-ranking disciples when collecting resources, the Su Family's resource halls are divided into many branches located around the lower-ranking disciples.
There is a resource hall near Su Ziyuan.
"Why... why are there only ten spirit stones this time?" Su Ziyuan was stunned as she looked at the ten spirit stones she received.
There are many types of resources for cultivators, but the most common ones are spirit stones and the more precious sources.
Both of these can provide cultivators with a quick absorption of spiritual energy, but the value of sources is a thousand times that of spirit stones.
In the past, she had a hundred spirit stones and could even receive an extra small piece of source every month.
But this time, there are only ten spirit stones.
Ten spirit stones are not even enough for basic daily cultivation, let alone rapid progress. It would be impossible for her to enter the top ten in the clan competition in three years, and it would be difficult for her to break through the True Origin Realm.
"Su Ziyuan, your performance has already been very low, it's already good enough to give you resources." The person in charge of the resource hall frowned.
"Don't forget, not only has your cultivation not improved, but it has also been regressing. You're almost falling out of the Qi Sea Realm. You know, the Su Family doesn't raise useless people. This is the order of the Patriarch!"
"Unless something unexpected happens, in a week, you will become a peripheral disciple!"
He shook his head and said.
Upon hearing this, Su Ziyuan's face turned pale, and even her breathing became difficult.
