Chapter 49: The Opportunity Of The Great Saint’S Secret Realm, Su Ziyuan’S Boldness, And The Success
Great Saint Secret Realm?
Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng was somewhat surprised. The Ninth Princess hadn't planned on giving up on that secret realm?
Rumors about the Great Saint Secret Realm have been circulating in the True Saint Continent for the past few years, attracting powerful individuals from other continents. Even the Ninth Princess has been paying attention, but she has yet to make an appearance.
Many powerful individuals believe that this is just a false rumor and that the Great Saint Secret Realm doesn't exist.
Su Changsheng also believed that the Ninth Princess had given up.
But now, the Ninth Princess is actually inviting him. It seems that this Great Saint Secret Realm is indeed real?
However, despite its seeming authenticity, Su Changsheng feels a sense of unease in his heart.
Although it's just a gut feeling, it's enough to make Su Changsheng wary.
"I'm sorry, Ninth Princess, but I don't want to get involved in these matters right now. Please find someone else!"
Su Changsheng shakes his head and refuses.
He has a system, and as long as he doesn't do anything foolish, he will eventually become invincible. There's no need to risk his life in this situation.
Great Saint Secret Realm?
It could be an opportunity, but it could also be a deadly calamity.
"You are a Saint, and your strength can even rival that of a Saint King. How can you be so timid and afraid to explore a Great Saint Secret Realm?"
The princess frowns upon hearing this.
Although the Great Saint is powerful, after countless years of falling, the secret realm left behind by them shouldn't be able to easily kill a Saint King.
As long as one is careful, they can at least escape and retreat safely.
Furthermore, with her, the princess of the imperial court, and many other powerful individuals leading the way, this trip to the secret realm can be considered almost certain of success. The reason she invited Su Changsheng to come along is simply to give him some opportunities.
"I appreciate the princess's kindness!" Su Changsheng shakes his head and then ponders for a moment before continuing, "I'm more curious, as the Ninth Princess, shouldn't a mere Great Saint Secret Realm be unworthy of your attention?"
This is also what puzzles Su Changsheng.
A Great Saint's secret realm, in the end, is just a collection of some treasures left behind by Great Saints.
For cultivators in the True Saint Continent, perhaps it is a great opportunity, where they can easily soar to the sky with just a few gains.
But for the princess of the Imperial Court, what's the big deal?
Techniques? Resources? Strong cultivators?
She lacks nothing in all these aspects. Even if it's a Great Saint, she can easily mobilize them.
With such an identity, why would she care about a Great Saint's secret realm and stay in the True Saint Continent for three years?
"It's different. This secret realm is not an ordinary Great Saint, but a Great Saint with an astonishing battle power. Its origin is very mysterious. It once shook the Everlasting Imperial Court, and... the inheritance it possesses is very important to me. I must obtain it!"
Princess Nine's face hesitated for a moment, but her gaze remained firm as she spoke.
Very important?
Su Changsheng was surprised and immediately recalled the information about Princess Nine from the system.
She has the potential to transform into a Phoenix Immortal Body.
Is it because of this? It can indeed explain Princess Nine's thoughts and why she is concerned about this Great Saint's secret realm.
"If you are unwilling, this princess won't force you. I can understand you. This secret realm is indeed not simple!"
Seeing Su Changsheng silent and contemplative, Princess Nine knew that he was refusing. Although she was somewhat disappointed, she sighed lightly and continued.
That Great Saint was unparalleled in the world back then, with imperial qualifications. Although she fell unexpectedly, this princess suspects that she may have become a Quasi-Emperor. This secret realm may seem to be at the Great Saint level, but the dangers within it may multiply!
It's understandable if you don't want to take risks!
Since that's the case, this princess should leave. By the way, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance may hold an auction, and this princess will attend. You can pay attention to it then.
After saying that, Princess Nine turned around to leave. At this moment, Su Changsheng's voice came from the side.
"Princess Nine, please be careful with the matter of the secret realm!"
Although the voice was calm, Princess Nine could sense the concern in it.
Her lips curled up slightly.
"Hmph, who am I, the Ninth Princess? My methods and strength are unimaginable to you. The Great Saint's Secret Realm is nothing more than a walk in the park for me!"
The Ninth Princess smirked arrogantly, then turned and left, her figure disappearing into the vast expanse.
"Still too weak!"
Watching the departing figure, Su Changsheng sighed inwardly. If only he had the cultivation of a Great Saint or a Quasi-Emperor, he wouldn't be so helpless.
"I should quickly marry new concubines!"
Su Changsheng narrowed his eyes and made a decision. He knew that within Myriad Manifestations City, there was a Holy Maiden from the Heavenly Desire Sect named An Miaoyi.
She also possessed a Divine Body, and a rare one at that - the Heavenly Desire Divine Body, which allowed for dual cultivation.
As long as he reached the Ninth Heaven and joined forces with her, the power of their first union alone would allow him to break through to a higher realm. It would be effective even below the level of a Quasi-Emperor.
"In that case, I must quickly reach the Ninth Heaven and marry her. By joining forces with her, I will be able to break through to the Saint King level," Su Changsheng thought to himself.
As for why he didn't wait until he reached the Ninth Heaven as a Saint King before joining forces to break through to a Great Saint, it would take too long. Su Changsheng was afraid that by the time he reached that point, the other party would have already been taken by someone important from the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace.
"What does it have to do with me if someone important from the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace takes her... Hmph, I don't care!" Su Changsheng snorted. With his current strength, he didn't need to fear so-called important figures.
As long as it wasn't a Great Saint descending, he had the confidence to resist.
If he broke through to the Saint King level, even if it was a Great Saint, he would have a certain level of assurance.
Although the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace was strong, with a Great Saint presiding over it, they wouldn't go to the extent of coming to the Central Continent for a small figure.
After all, the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace had its own enemies.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Su Changsheng furrowed his brows as he sensed an extremely scorching gaze directed at him.
Su Changsheng was speechless.
He knew it must be Su Ziyuan, that rebellious little brat who always wanted to challenge him.
Su Changsheng sighed silently and disappeared from the spot. In the venue, after the clan competition ended, the leaders of various forces congratulated each other and left one after another.
At the same time, today's news will quickly spread and shock the entire True Saint Continent.
I estimate that even the Tai Shi Sect can't sit still anymore.
After all, once a top-grade Divine Body rises, its power is enough to threaten the Tai Shi Sect.
"The Saintess of the Heavenly Desire Sect wants to meet the Ancestor of Longevity?"
On the other side, after Su Yun presided over the end of the clan competition, he received a report shortly after, and his brows furrowed and his face became serious.
He had also heard of the Saintess of the Heavenly Desire Sect.
She was very famous in Myriad Manifestations City, flawless and stunning, captivating countless young geniuses and even the leaders of various factions.
There was even a powerful Saint who was tempted by her and wanted to forcefully demand something from the Heavenly Desire Sect, even resorting to threats, but was scared away by a single sentence from her.
It should be noted that although the Heavenly Desire Sect is a top-level force, its strength is not strong, with only an ordinary Saint presiding over it. It is impossible to scare away a Saint with just a few words.
After investigating, Su Yun also learned about the forces behind the Heavenly Desire Sect.
It was the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace.
In True Saint Continent and the surrounding continents, the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace was on par with the Tai Shi Sect as a dominant force. They acted extremely domineering and cruel, often slaughtering an entire region and refining the flesh and blood of cultivators to break through.
However, this force was extremely powerful. In True Saint Continent alone, there were more than one Saint King.
It was rumored that the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace also had a more mysterious headquarters, with a Great Saint powerhouse presiding over it.
Therefore, even though they acted madly and domineeringly, no force dared to attack them. Even the Tai Shi Sect was very wary of them.
According to the Heavenly Desire Sect, the Saintess of the Heavenly Desire Sect had already been designated by a prominent figure from the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace as their future consort.
"This person is involved with a prominent figure from the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace. This is really difficult!"
Su Yun had a headache.
In the past three years, he had searched for information on female Divine Bodies everywhere and had found several. He tried to contact them, persuade them, or even use force to arrange a marriage.
But he had not contacted the Saintess of the Heavenly Desire Sect because her identity was too sensitive. Even with the current Su Family, they couldn't afford to provoke her.
"Ah, it seems that this Saintess also has ulterior motives, wanting to use the Ancestor to break free from the Heavenly Desire Sect, or even that important figure from the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace!"
Su Yun sighed inwardly, with a bitter smile.
The reputation of the Heavenly Desire Sect is not good.
Although it is not a place of debauchery, most of the sect's outstanding female disciples will be given to important figures of various forces in the future, in order to establish connections with various powers.
The Saintess of the Heavenly Desire Sect does not want to fall into such a fate, so she is thinking of seeking a backer to escape from this filthy quagmire and avoid a tragic fate.
"But this will also involve the Su Family!"
Su Yun sighed deeply, then waved his hand to let a subordinate contact the other party.
Although he fears the important figure from the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace, since the Ancestor's command is a female Divine Body, he will not hesitate and will always look forward without looking back.
What can the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace do?
He believes that the Ancestor will make the right judgment.
If the Ancestor chooses to accept the other party, it means that the Ancestor has enough confidence and is not afraid of the important figure from the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace.
If not, then the Su Family naturally does not need to worry about the threat from the Scarlet Forging Demon Palace.
"Ancestor, I am now the number one in the clan!"
On the other side, in Su Ziyuan's palace, shortly after winning, Su Ziyuan hurriedly rushed over. At a glance, she saw Su Changsheng's back and her eyes lit up. Her tone was full of joy.
During these three years, because they had become familiar with each other and had a close relationship, in one instance of guidance, Su Ziyuan playfully wanted to call Su Changsheng "Ancestor Brother".
According to Su Ziyuan, this was a title exclusively for her.
Although Su Changsheng found it strange, he still agreed to her request.
After all, she is his future wife.
"Not bad, you have lived up to my expectations!"
At this moment, Su Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, not directly facing Su Ziyuan, but looking up at the palace. His eyes were deep, surrounded by spiritual mist, and his tone was low.
He looked like an extraordinary expert, full of style.
However, this demeanor clearly had no effect on Su Ziyuan at the moment.
She was rubbing her hands nervously, her face slightly red, and stammered, "Um... um, Brother Laozu, about the reward you mentioned..."
You see, after undergoing transformation, Su Ziyuan's figure has become tall and slender.
Her appearance is extremely beautiful, with long black hair as dark as ink, and she wears a gorgeous dark golden dress. Every move she makes exudes a sense of elegance.
She is like a daughter of the Dao, or a Dao ancestor descending to the mortal world. With just a glance or a smile, she exudes extraordinary beauty, surpassing thousands of immortal fairies and goddesses.
But even such a stunning goddess...
In front of Su Changsheng at this moment, she reveals a shy and hesitant little girl's demeanor.
If the Su Family disciples who were defeated by Su Ziyuan were to see this, they would probably feel the urge to vomit blood.
When she defeated them, she was so cold and ruthless, easily crushing them with a single palm.
But in front of the old ancestor, she behaves so innocently, completely different.
"Well, no matter what you ask for, this seat will agree!" Su Changsheng nodded, his gaze fixed on Su Ziyuan.
He wanted to know what request Su Ziyuan would make.
"Elder... Elder Ancestor, Ziyuan wants to... wants to be with you like... like the two sisters..." Perhaps feeling too shy, Su Ziyuan's tone was somewhat stammering, which was quite unexpected.
Like that?
Su Changsheng was stunned.
"Just like the two sisters, Ziyuan wants to be with Elder Ancestor like this forever!" At this moment, Su Ziyuan seemed to have doubled her courage. She took a step forward, her gaze burning with passion and determination.
"Alright, this seat agrees. Let's hold the wedding in three months!" Su Changsheng nodded. After all, Su Ziyuan can never escape from her palm in this lifetime, so it's better to just take her directly.
"Elder... Elder Ancestor, can we not get married?" Su Ziyuan blushed and said.
"Why not get married? Why?"
Su Changsheng frowned and looked at Su Ziyuan with a strange expression. Wasn't this what she had always hoped for?
Not get married?
"Because if we don't get married, we can maintain that forbidden relationship with Brother Laozu. The book says that this kind of relationship can be very exciting..."
Su Ziyuan blushed, and her eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation as she spoke.
"?"
Su Changsheng widened his eyes, and for the first time, a clear look of shock appeared on his face.
Su Ziyuan, something is not right with you!
What kind of book is this? To think that such a relationship exists? It's truly shameless.
"System, can this be considered as having concubines? What about the children born from this?"
Su Changsheng asked in his mind.
[......]
[Host, you are also quite shameless. In terms of shamelessness, you are not lacking at all!]
The system fell silent, as if it had been shocked by Su Changsheng, and remained speechless for a long time before speaking again.
[You two are truly a pair of extraordinary individuals!]
[Ding, according to the system's judgment, it is still effective even if you don't get married, but there is a limit to the number of times, it cannot be continuous!]
Soon, the system provided an answer.
Su Changsheng felt relieved. As long as it was effective, it was fine.
As for the limit on the number of times?
He didn't care about that. Su Ziyuan was the only one he truly didn't want to marry.
This kind of forbidden relationship would lose its meaning if there were too many of them.
"Su Ziyuan, who let you read such books? From now on, read fewer improper books. How dare you make such unreasonable demands!"
Su Changsheng's gaze shifted as he looked at Su Ziyuan, his tone stern as he reprimanded her.
"......"
Instantly, her eyes turned red, thinking that Su Changsheng was going to refuse, she wanted to explain.
"But, I promise you!"
Sigh, in order to appease this disobedient and unfilial descendant, I can only sacrifice my own body as the ancestor.
"Really!"
Su Ziyuan's eyes sparkled.
Truly sparkling, radiant and brilliant, with rays of light swirling and runes flickering.
"Ancestor, let's hurry...."
As she spoke, Su Ziyuan eagerly pounced on Su Changsheng, his anxious appearance causing Su Changsheng to have a black line on his face.
This little guy is too impatient, why does it feel like he's the one being pursued?
"Ah!"
Su Changsheng lifted his hand and lifted Su Ziyuan up, causing her to exclaim in surprise, her face blushing.
No matter how wild she pretends to be, she is just an innocent little girl.
Not long after, there was a fierce battle that lasted for three days and three nights, with Su Changsheng occasionally suppressing the rebel with his divine power, and sometimes being deceived and defeated by Su Ziyuan.
For a while, the two fought to the end, as if the heavens themselves were about to be extinguished.
Several days later, Su Changsheng finally subdued the rebel successfully, and calmly arrived at the Su Family Hall, where Su Yun was already waiting inside.
As for Su Ziyuan, she had already cried and begged for mercy, and went to see Gu Qingge and Bai Yuege.
"Ancestor, the Saintess of the Heavenly Desire Sect wants to see you and discuss the matter of marriage!"
Seeing Su Changsheng appear, Su Yun's eyes lit up, and before Su Changsheng could sit down, he hurriedly approached.
"In addition, in these years, I have found several forces, all of which have hidden Divine Bodies. Among them, the Purple Moon Dynasty has a condition and hopes that the ancestor can agree!"
"The current Emperor of the Purple Moon Dynasty is the owner of the Purple Moon Divine Body. She wants to request the Su Family to destroy the Blood Sword Empire, which is a top power."
Su Yun reported respectfully.
