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

Su Mu's eyes were resolute and his demeanor was calm.

He could not control the course of heaven and earth, nor could he save all of humanity, but he had absolute confidence in protecting himself. As long as his growth rate exceeded the expansion rate of the black mist, he could remain invincible amidst the catastrophe.

His desire to have biological offspring was to accelerate his own growth as much as possible.

He knew in his heart that his first biological child would inevitably trigger the system's top-tier generous rewards, helping him to break through the heavens once again.

"I hope so." Xiao Yunshang nodded gently and said in a low voice, "The only hope now is that a martial god from beyond the realm will suddenly descend, sweep away the Ghost Clan, and quell the calamity."

In her view, the Tianyuan Continent at present is simply incapable of nurturing a Martial God, and such an opportunity to defy the heavens and turn the tide is extremely slim.

"If I were to say that if I had a biological child, I might be able to avert the catastrophe of the Ghost Clan and reverse the perilous situation of the world, would Miss Xiao believe me?" Su Mu raised his eyes and asked seriously.

Xiao Yunshang was stunned again, her face full of disbelief.

She had been practicing Buddhism for many years and had never heard of such an absurd thing.

Getting married and having children has always been a major taboo in cultivation, as it only distracts the mind and hinders the path. How can it be said to defy the heavens, increase one's strength, or quell a great calamity?

Even if a child is born with an innate divine body, it is because of the child's own outstanding talent, what does it have to do with the father? Moreover, with a calamity imminent, the newborn genius simply does not have enough time to grow.

Seeing her puzzled and disbelieving expression, Su Mu didn't offer any further explanation. Such system secrets were impossible to explain or prove.

"You have just broken through to the Martial Phase stage and need to calm down and stabilize your realm, so I will not disturb you any longer."

Su Mu spoke calmly, put away the ink-gold puppet, and with a flash, flew straight out of the Yangxin Palace and headed towards the library.

Xiao Yunshang stood there, her beautiful face filled with doubt, her heart churning and unable to calm down for a long time.

Su Mu's expression just now was extremely serious, and it was by no means a joke.

She suddenly remembered that Su Mu had always favored adopting sons and daughters, and was extremely generous to his juniors. Previously, when Chang Wei recognized him as his godfather, Su Mu spared no expense in spending countless high-level resources to help him break through to the Martial Emperor realm.

Such extraordinary generosity cannot be explained by ordinary kindness.

"Could it be... that he's not taking in adopted sons and daughters to make up for what he lacks, but rather because he can truly reap immense benefits from it?"

Xiao Yunshang muttered to herself, her thoughts in turmoil.

She already had a deep affection for Su Mu, and she owed him countless favors. In addition, Su Mu was incredibly powerful and of upright character.

If giving birth to a child could truly reverse the catastrophe and save humanity, then it wouldn't be impossible for her.

My mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, a whirlwind of ideas.

At this moment, Su Mu had already flown back to the second floor of the library. After briefly greeting Wen Qianzhu, he entered the room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

He quickly cleared his mind of distractions, calmed his thoughts, and adjusted his own state.

During the hour he waited for Xiao Yunshang to condense her form, he had already restored himself to his peak condition, waiting only for further cultivation and breakthrough.

Su Mu was already at his peak condition at this moment, so there was no need for him to spend time adjusting his breathing.

"The fire energy contained in the top-grade earth-level fire crystal gem is too domineering and violent. To be on the safe side, let's first refine this bottle of black dragon essence blood to make the Imperial Body even stronger before breaking through to the Profound Fire."

Su Mu made up his mind to steadily advance his cultivation.

On the second-floor balcony of the library, Jinzi was curled up in a ball, fast asleep.

The little creature was entirely gilded, with layers of fine, mysterious golden patterns flowing across its feathers, making it shimmer and shine.

It's going to advance again.

It has been less than a month since it last broke through from the late stage of level 5 to the early stage of level 6. This time, the speed of advancement has far exceeded the limit of ordinary monsters.

In recent days, Jinzi has devoured countless alien spirit bodies and profound bodies. In particular, during the battle just now, he devoured the complete profound body of a Wu Clan Martial Emperor in the early stage, which has completely accelerated his growth rate.

In addition, the high-level demon beast inner cores and essence blood that Su Mu constantly fed it, and even the occasional drop of the essence blood of the Emperor's Overlord Body, all these top-level resources kept it in a state of rapid transformation.

Before Su Mu returned from the Yangxin Palace, Jinzi was still awake, clearly waiting for his return before falling into a deep sleep to break through to the next level.

On the balcony, Wen Qianzhu stood quietly, holding Xiao Susong, carefully guarding the sleeping Jinzi, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.

Summer has arrived, and the night breeze is warm and slightly cool, brushing against the terrace with a refreshing and pleasant feeling, without any chill.

Wen Qianzhu was softly humming a nursery rhyme to soothe the child in her arms when she suddenly sensed a powerful and heavy aura emanating from the next room, spreading out in layers.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Su Mu's door, her eyes filled with astonishment and surprise.

"No way? He's about to break through to a higher level again?"

When Su Mu returned earlier, he casually told her that he was going into seclusion for a while. She thought it was because he had suffered too much damage in the battle last night and needed to recuperate. She never expected that he was going to break through his cultivation again.

Such a cultivation speed is truly unprecedented and monstrous!

Wen Qianzhu couldn't help but secretly admire him, having long since become completely accustomed to Su Mu's extraordinary growth.

Inside the room, Su Mu had already taken out the bottle of late-stage level eight black dragon essence blood and swallowed it all.

The essence blood of a late-stage level eight beast contains an incomparably powerful life force and pure blood energy, vast and boundless. Even Su Mu, who has cultivated the Emperor's Body, experienced an extremely strong impact on his physical body.

The essence and blood energy was violent and disordered, making it impossible to absorb and refine it instantly. Accompanied by waves of tearing pain, it washed over the limbs, bones, meridians, and flesh.

Su Mu remained calm and composed, indicating that he was well-prepared.

He released all the Imperial True Fire he had been nurturing within his Qi Sea, the raging flames coursing through his meridians and body, accelerating the refining process of his essence and blood. At the same time, he activated his Imperial True Spirit power, circulating spiritual energy throughout his body to firmly stabilize the foundation of his Overlord Body and prevent his physical body from being overwhelmed by the violent energy.

Su Mu took out and consumed all the elixirs and rare treasures that could nourish the body, repair wounds, and aid in refining, without any hesitation.

Under extreme tempering, the Imperial Body gradually absorbs and integrates the primal power of the Black Dragon's essence blood amidst tolerable pain. Its physical foundation, bone and tendon strength, and blood and qi thickness are all steadily increasing and becoming stronger layer by layer.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Mu remained secluded, quietly meditating.

Jinzi on the second-floor balcony remained fast asleep, its golden light subdued, undergoing continuous transformation.

Two days, three days... Time flowed slowly, the library remained as quiet as ever, and the imperial city was peaceful and stable.

Now everyone in the Great Qian Imperial City knows that the Supreme Emperor is in charge, and the Martial Emperor Chai Min of Yunxiang Valley and the newly promoted Martial Emperor Xiao Yunshang are also guarding the city. With so many powerful figures standing in the city, it is awe-inspiring and deters all sides. No more petty people dare to cause trouble.

Chai Min is still recovering from her injuries. Last night, in order to protect Xiao Yunshang's breakthrough, she fought fiercely against the alien powerhouses, and the old injuries were compounded by new ones, which further delayed her recovery time.

Chang Wei, on the other hand, devoted himself to seclusion, honing his foundation and preparing wholeheartedly for the final hurdle of breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm. With a calm mind, he made progress every day.
