Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

"Yes, this name is the most fitting."

Su Mu used his divine sense to look inward at his dantian and focus on his own primordial spirit.

Enveloped in golden true fire, the sword spirit shone brilliantly. Its size increased dramatically, and in addition to the already dense imperial runes, numerous fine and sharp sword runes appeared on its spirit membrane.

His aura was sharp and domineering, and his sharpness was overwhelming.

Looking through the thin spiritual membrane, the original primordial spirit, which was originally like the texture of fruit pulp, had already condensed into the embryonic form of a fetus.

A primordial spirit condensed in the early stage of the Grandmaster realm normally needs to cultivate to the late stage of the True Martial realm before it can transform into a true spirit. The nourishment of the primordial spirit takes a long time, and the higher the level of the primordial spirit, the longer the transformation cycle.

In the dead of night, Su Mu was concentrating on comprehending the spirit of the Imperial Sword when a cold system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to Master's adopted son Xiao Anxun for advancing to the late Grandmaster realm! The system reward has been sent to the system warehouse. Please check!]

"It's time for a breakthrough."

Su Mu was slightly taken aback, then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Among the rewards this time, in addition to a large number of cultivation pills, a brand new pill has also appeared – the Mysterious Pill.

Its grade is mid-grade Earth Rank, specializing in soul cultivation.

The Mysterious Pill not only contains pure and abundant spiritual energy, but also enhances a cultivator's comprehension and deepens their understanding and perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Although it cannot directly forge the foundation of the Dao Soul like the Dao Soul Foundation Building Pill, it can be taken repeatedly without any limit on the number of times it can be taken.

For Su Mu, a large quantity of low-grade Xuan-level Soul-Nourishing Pills were needed to even slightly amplify his divine soul. However, a single mid-grade Earth-level Mystic Pill could significantly purify and strengthen his divine soul power.

Moreover, this elixir has a mild and pure medicinal property, so even those with a low spiritual level can easily withstand its effects without the risk of explosion.

It can be used for personal consumption or to cultivate others.

The system has awarded a total of twenty Mystic Pills, which should be enough for Su Mu to use in the short term.

According to the system's reward rules, the Mystic Pill will become a regular reward from now on.

In addition to the elixir, this time a talisman and a longsword are also included as a bonus.

The talisman is called the Kunling Strange Fire Talisman, a mid-grade Earth-rank item. In the past, Xi Changfeng relied on the same talisman to enhance his true fire and true spirit, gaining the upper hand in battle.

The longsword is named the Four Luminaries Mysterious Slaughter Sword, a high-grade Earth-rank sword.

This sword is similar to the Four Extremes Golden Thunder Sword in that it has the ability to split into four swords.

When combined, the swords are of stable, high-grade Earth rank; when divided into four, each sword is of mid-grade Earth rank.

After splitting, it can either set up the Four Directions Sword Prison Formation or activate the Four Symbols Sword Formation, which is of a higher grade and more powerful.

The Four Symbols Sword Formation has an extremely high threshold, requiring not only profound swordsmanship skills but also the cultivation of a true sword soul.

At this moment, Su Mu is only one step away from becoming a true sword spirit.

With just one mysterious pill, the final shackles can be broken.

Su Mu first took out the Four Luminaries Profound Slaughter Sword, dripped blood to signify its mastery, and stored it in his Qi Sea for nurturing. Then he picked up a Mystic Pill and swallowed it directly.

The medicinal power of the pill surged into his sea of ​​consciousness, completely infusing the foundation of his sword soul.

The giant sword of light and flame, formed from the fire of the soul, began to expand wildly, its form becoming increasingly solid and translucent.

The whole process was gentle and comfortable, without any stinging pain to the soul, like a gentle spring breeze.

Once midnight passed, the effects of the Mystic Pill were completely exhausted.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the giant sword of light and flames surged to a height of thirty feet, resembling a divine sword suspended in the void, its power terrifying.

The primordial spirit, enveloped by the giant sword, also rose to a height of six zhang, and a clear sword-shaped mark condensed between its brows.

"Sword Soul, it's done!"

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, and two sharp and dazzling sword lights burst forth from them, their sharpness piercing to the bone.

To this day, his physical body and soul have both reached the Martial King level, far surpassing ordinary early-stage Martial King cultivators.

Although its skill has not yet reached the profound level and it has not yet condensed its true spirit, the power and grade of the true essence released by the Imperial Sword Spirit are already no weaker than the true spirit power of a late-stage True Martial Realm expert.

Since killing Xi Changfeng, Su Mu's overall strength has once again achieved a leapfrog increase.

Now, if he were to encounter a late-stage True Martial Realm cultivator like Xi Changfeng again, he could crush and kill him in the blink of an eye.

The Sword Soul and the Imperial Sword Spirit complement each other perfectly, allowing Su Mu's swordsmanship talent to reach a whole new level.

Having revisited "Sword Heart Clarity," the previously obscure and difficult-to-understand mysteries of swordsmanship are now readily understood and mastered, leading to a rapid increase in swordsmanship proficiency.

The thrill of breaking through in this kind of cultivation is exhilarating.

"Wen Qianzhu once said that none of the extraterrestrial forces that have returned this time are Martial Emperor level experts, and their top combat power is limited to Martial Emperor level."

"With my current strength, I can easily defeat most Martial Kings, but against Martial Emperors, the gap is still huge."

"But those powerful beings from beyond the realm are not native beings of this world. Especially the older generation of Martial Emperors, when they step into this land, they will inevitably suffer strong rejection and suppression from the laws of heaven and earth, and their strength will be diminished. They may not be able to suppress me."

However, we should not be blindly optimistic.

Su Mu was alarmed. The gap between a Martial King and a Martial Emperor was far greater than the gap between a True Martial and a Martial King.

He would never rashly confront a Martial Emperor unless absolutely necessary.

Those who can ascend to the position of Martial Emperor are all top geniuses of their generation, with profound foundations and unpredictable methods, and should not be underestimated.

The next morning.

Jin Zisu woke up and nuzzled against Su Mu affectionately, begging for food.

Having exhausted its late-stage level 5 inner core, Su Mu took out a late-stage level 6 demon beast inner core and fed it to the beast.

Unexpectedly, after the inner elixir entered his stomach, Jinzi, who had just awakened, fell into a deep sleep again in the blink of an eye.

Su Mu saw through it at a glance: Jin Zi was about to break through to a higher realm.

This breakthrough is a major leap from level five to level six, and it will certainly take a considerable amount of time.

As Jinzi slept soundly, golden light flowed freely around him, and fine, mysterious golden patterns covered his feathers.

The aura emanating from his body was powerful and domineering, yet calm and restrained, showing no signs of going berserk.

Su Mu observed quietly for a moment, and only after confirming that its breakthrough was safe and sound did he turn around and leave the room.

Not far away, Wen Qianzhu stood quietly, her gaze fixed on the door, and asked softly, "Is Jinzi about to break through?"

"Hmm." Su Mu nodded, closing the door behind him. "I'm about to advance to level six."

"Congratulations," Wen Qianzhu said with a smile.

She had already discerned that Jinzi possessed extraordinary bloodline, and once he broke through to level six, he would undoubtedly become an extremely powerful weapon by Su Mu's side.

"Let's go downstairs for lunch."

"it is good."

The two walked downstairs side by side.

As the distance closed, even without using her divine sense, Wen Qianzhu, a Martial King, could clearly sense the surge in Su Mu's aura.

The Concealing Breath Pearl in Su Mu's Qi Sea is only of the upper grade of the Profound Rank, and it can no longer keep up with his current cultivation level.

Whether it's the Xuan Body, the domineering True Fire, or the fierce Imperial Sword Spirit, their auras are far beyond what a low-level concealment magic treasure can hide.

As Wen Qianzhu walked, she pondered, her heart filled with astonishment and doubt: "In just a few days, this person had just completed a major breakthrough, and now his aura has surged again, his progress is incredibly rapid. Could it be that he can achieve this level solely with resources left over from ten thousand years ago?"

She was extremely curious about Su Mu's true combat strength, but unfortunately, she was heavily pregnant and nearing her due date, making it unsuitable for her to spar with anyone.

But she never expected that in just one day, she would witness Su Mu's unfathomable and terrifying strength.

Daylight fades in an instant, and night once again envelops the imperial city.

In the dead of night, three young, powerful figures silently broke into the heavily guarded imperial palace.

All three are ancient geniuses who were sealed away ten thousand years ago. Two of them are from the Wa tribe, and one is from the royal family of the Northern Desert.

Although the Wa people were not considered a top-tier clan in ancient times, their large population still gave them the ability to seal away two young geniuses.

The royal family of the Northern Desert was renowned ten thousand years ago, with a powerful martial arts foundation that far surpassed that of the Situ family, Duanmu family, Xiao family, and Su family at that time.

Previously, the royal family of the Northern Desert colluded with the barbarians to rebel, and now the Japanese tribe has also allied with the barbarians, so the two forces naturally formed an alliance.

The emergence of the Ghost Clan caused the black mist to expand continuously, and a cataclysmic disaster was drawing ever closer.

Of all the lands on the continent, the Great Qian Empire's territory was least affected by the black mist. If they could seize the heartland of the Great Qian, they could postpone the invasion of the Ghost Clan.

Previously, the allied forces of the barbarians, the Japanese, and the royal family of the Northern Desert suffered heavy losses and were unable to destroy the Great Qian Dynasty. They could only rely on these ancient geniuses who broke out of their seals to assassinate key figures and disrupt the Great Qian court.

Therefore, the three of them headed straight for the imperial palace in the capital.

They had long heard of Su Mu's feats of killing Situ Chengjun, Su Feiyang, and Xi Changfeng.

Even knowing their opponents were formidable, the three still came resolutely, clearly confident and determined not to throw their lives away in vain.

All three were at the True Martial Realm.

Two of them cultivated spiritual bodies and true fire, achieving a stable mid-stage True Martial Realm.

The remaining Japanese warrior had even condensed his true spirit, reaching the late stage of the True Martial Realm.

Moreover, this Japanese genius possesses an innate spiritual body!

Even ten thousand years ago, he would have been a top genius, with talent surpassing even Xi Changfeng, who possessed innate essence fire.

The innate spiritual body is uniquely endowed, with physical strength and spiritual energy transformation far surpassing the acquired spiritual bodies of ordinary True Martial cultivators.

A genius with an innate spiritual body, whose condensed true fire and true spirit far surpass those of other cultivators of the same level.

Because of their formidable strength, even though they knew Su Mu had killed Xi Changfeng, they were still fearless and forcefully stormed the palace.

A loud shout, like a thunderclap, echoed across the entire imperial city in the night sky.

"You eunuch surnamed Su, come out and face your death!"

The deafening roar woke everyone in the palace, and shook most of the people in the imperial city.

Lights were lit in every household, and people rushed out of their doors, looking up at the sky above the palace. Everyone's face showed shock and disbelief.

Now that the imperial power of the Great Qian Dynasty is secure, how dare anyone trespass into the palace and shout in public?
