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

The late-stage True God named Horn Rock frowned, filled with doubt. "This person not only possesses formidable Dao Fire and heaven-defying combat power, but also wields a clone talisman and a space-blocking talisman. Furthermore, he has a powerful god-level puppet by his side. His methods are endless and impossible to defend against!"

"Could it be that the Three-Eyed Clan's great god Tuharen knew all along that this place was dangerous and deliberately tricked us into coming here to die?" Horned Kun beside him said in a deep voice, full of suspicion.

"Probably not." Horn Rock shook his head slightly. "Our Horn Scale Clan and the Three-Eyed Clan are far apart, and we have never had any enmity or conflict of interest. God Tuharun has no reason to harm us."

"There are so many suspicious points!" Jiao Kun's eyes were sharp, and every sentence went straight to the point. "He claimed that this place only had weak monsters, and sent us here to earn merit, but he has no shortage of Three-Eyed True Gods under his command. Why didn't he leave them for his own kind, but instead gave them to us outsiders for free?"

"This..." Horn Rock was speechless for a moment, and doubts quietly began to grow in his heart.

"Currently, all the major powers in the heavens are wiping out the Ghost Clan. By killing the Ghost Clan and obtaining Ghost Pearls, one can exchange them for rewards from their respective powers."

"Weak races rely on powerful clans, and all the resources and treasures they obtain must be supplied to the powerful clans they rely on."

"The Three-Eyed Clan relies on the Star Palace and hands over all the strange pearls they obtain. They may not really care about this meager contribution," Horn Rock pondered.

"Even if his military achievements were meager, how did he know about this remote planet?" Jiao Kun persisted, pressing on. "If he had come here personally, even if he disdained the merits of this place, he should have left his people to garrison and exterminate them. Why did he leave this place vacant?"

"Perhaps it's just hearsay, information obtained from other powerful individuals," Horn Rock replied.

"If that's the case, why didn't that powerful figure who came here completely eradicate the evil race? Instead, he left this hidden danger to this day?"

Upon closer examination, the whole affair became increasingly bizarre and strange.

Previously, no one had given it much thought, assuming that the other party was trying to befriend them and was giving away their merits. Now, upon closer examination, they found flaws everywhere.

"The great god Tuhalun has no reason to harm us, but this matter is indeed too abnormal." Horn Rock looked puzzled.

"Perhaps he doesn't intend to harm us, but rather wants to use the four of us to secretly eliminate that human true god!" Jiao Kun said in a deep voice, expressing his conjecture.

"Oh?" Horn Rock raised his eyes and asked in return, "Great God Tuhalun's cultivation far surpasses the combined strength of the four of us. If he wanted to kill that human true god, he could have easily annihilated him with a flick of his finger. Why would he need to rely on us?"

"Perhaps he has many concerns and cannot personally take action across boundaries," Jiao Kun said solemnly.

"There's no point in making wild guesses." Horn Rock waved his hand. "Instead of speculating, we should just go and ask the great god Tuharen for clarification."

"We won't get any results from him." Jiao Kun shook his head in denial. "If he has something to hide, he will definitely make all sorts of excuses. We can't force the great god to swear an oath to verify it, so it will all be in vain."

"So what should we do now?" Horn Rock asked, frowning.

"Report this to the clan and ask the strongest members to decide," Jiao Kun said in a deep voice. "Send the strongest members of the clan to Tianyuan Star to seek revenge, or send them personally to the Three-Eyed Clan to question the Great God Tuhalun about the truth!"

"That's the only way." Horn Rock nodded slightly, offering no further objections.

Having reached an agreement, the two did not linger. They leaped into the air, transforming into two streaks of light, and swiftly left the vast mountain range to return to their tribe and report the news.

The Imperial City of the Great Qian Dynasty, the bedroom of the library.

Su Mu consumed several Divine Spring Pills to replenish his divine power. He then activated the Purple-Gold Dao Fire to temper his Imperial Body day and night, refining his physical foundation.

About an hour later, he had a slight thought and realized that the clone he had sent out earlier had completely disappeared.

It was not defeated by external forces, but rather the clone talisman's effect expired, causing it to disintegrate and vanish into nothingness on its own.

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, Xiao Yunshang remained in seclusion, focusing on refining the divine fire.

Su Mu left behind a mid-grade divine golden puppet to guard the imperial city, then flipped over and landed on the golden back, soaring away and flying once again into the remaining black mist forbidden zone of Tianyuan Star.

The Black Mist Territory is now extremely small, and the remaining Gui Clan members are weak. They can easily sweep away and crush both Su Mu and Jin Zi, who has advanced to the ninth level.

After a full day of cleaning, the two completely slaughtered all the remaining monsters within the black mist, leaving none behind.

The remaining black mist, having lost the support of the Ghost Clan's origin, quickly dissipated with the wind and completely vanished.

From then on, the long-standing threat of the Black Mist Monster Clan on Tianyuan Star was completely eradicated!

As night fell, Su Mu and Jin Zi returned safely to the imperial city and landed back in the library courtyard.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the afternoon of January 9th, Xiao Yunshang, who had been in seclusion for many days, slowly walked out of her bedroom and successfully completed the absorption and fusion of the divine fire.

She possesses a divine appearance and divine body, and now, with the condensation of divine fire, her cultivation is steadily improving, successfully entering the late stage of the Martial Emperor realm, which can also be called the late stage of the Quasi-God realm.

Once the divine embryo undergoes a transformation and gives birth to a deity, it can break through the shackles and ascend to the realm of a true god.

At dusk that day, Su Mu heard a familiar system notification sound.

[Congratulations to the host's adopted daughter, Chai Min, for advancing to the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor realm! The system reward has been sent to the system warehouse. Please check!]

Not long after, Chai Min came to visit and reported the good news of the breakthrough to Su Mu and Xiao Yunshang.

She also perfectly absorbed and refined the green divine fire, greatly advancing her cultivation. Her current cultivation goal is to forge an unparalleled divine body and perfect her Dao foundation.

Su Mu was overjoyed and, as usual, bestowed upon him a large amount of high-level resources, gently encouraging him to focus on his cultivation and make steady breakthroughs.

After Chai Min left, Su Mu opened the system warehouse and carefully checked the rewards for this breakthrough.

Previously, when Chai Min achieved the Divine Physician realm and broke through to the early stage of Martial Emperor, the system rewarded him with a mid-grade Divine Golden Puppet and two low-grade Divine Treasures. This time, with another breakthrough, the reward is even more extraordinary.

This reward surprisingly includes a **superior-grade divine treasure—the Anti-Flight Divine Talisman**!

This talisman is far more powerful than any of the previous sealing divine treasures. Once activated, it can distort and imprison the entire airspace. Even a Heavenly God Realm expert will be firmly locked down and unable to move!

This is undoubtedly a major new trump card for Su Mu!

Once the powerful enemy at the Heavenly God level is imprisoned, and the Heavenly Fire Puppet is used in conjunction with it, it is enough to severely injure or even directly kill a powerful Heavenly God!

As for the God-King realm experts, they are too ethereal and far beyond the reach of the current Tianyuan Star system, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Once Jinzi and Chai Min break through again, or Song Qingmei advances to the late True God stage, I will most likely obtain a top-tier divine trump card to counterbalance the God King!"

Su Mu secretly looked forward to it; the higher the cultivation level of his subordinates, the more incredible the system rewards would be.

Aside from the superior-grade anti-flight talisman, this reward also includes two mid-grade divine-rank treasures and five low-grade divine-rank treasures. The overall generosity is comparable to the top-tier reward of breaking through to level nine with gold.

Two mid-grade divine treasures: one is the **Phoenix Feather Divine Sword**, forged from the natal divine feathers of a late-stage Great God Realm divine phoenix, possessing unparalleled sharpness and formidable power; the other is twenty Dao Qi Nirvana Pills.

The five low-grade divine resources were dazzling: five hundred Divine Spring Pills, eighty Origin Spirit Awakening Pills, thirty Dao Integration Pills, thirty Heavenly Pattern Dao Fire Pills, and one Clone Divine Talisman.

The low-grade clone talisman offers limited assistance to Su Mu in his current state, but it's better than nothing and can be kept for future use. The remaining Heavenly-grade resources can be used entirely to cultivate his adopted sons and daughters.

After tallying the rewards, Su Mu continued his secluded cultivation.
