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

Su Mu's Imperial Body was already far superior to the ordinary divine bodies of the heavens, with a profound foundation and unparalleled hardness, comparable to ordinary Dao bodies. This transformation will inevitably forge an even more powerful and domineering Dao body, surpassing all others of the same level.

A single pill of Daoist Qi Nirvana Pill is naturally insufficient to support a complete transformation.

Fortunately, Su Mu had ample reserves and a large number of Dao Qi Nirvana Pills, enough to consume at will.

Nourished by the pills of Dao Qi Nirvana and blessed by the new Dao Soul, Su Mu activated the purple-gold Dao Fire and the power of the Imperial Dao God, continuously imprinting various supreme Dao divine patterns on his physical body, limbs, bones, and meridians.

The formation of the Dao body is a gradual process and cannot be accomplished overnight.

If Su Mu has already condensed his Dharma Body, the speed of his transformation will be greatly accelerated.

However, he has only just taken the step of developing his Dao Soul, and it will take a long time for him to accumulate enough experience before his Dao Soul can transform into his Dharma Form.

It took Su Mu a full ten days to complete the imprinting of the Great Dao Divine Patterns all over his body, completely breaking the shackles and successfully forging the Supreme Dao Body!

After crossing this crucial threshold, a thorny issue arises.

The Imperial Supreme Body Technique he had been cultivating since childhood was no longer up to his level. The technique was not advanced enough to support his cultivation in the Great God Realm and Heavenly God Realm after he reached the Dao Body Realm.

If it weren't for the top-tier cultivation memories and experiences left behind by Moen, he wouldn't even know the cultivation path and breakthrough methods after reaching the Great God Realm.

Right now, he urgently needs a supreme, top-tier cultivation technique that is compatible with the "Imperial Supreme Body Technique" and suitable for Daoist body cultivation.

Su Mu felt no anxiety.

Throughout his journey, whenever he reached a crucial juncture in his cultivation or encountered a rare and precious opportunity, the system would always provide it on time.

All you need to do is calm down, reflect, and wait patiently; everything you need will eventually arrive as scheduled.

February 23rd, early morning. Su Mu finished a round of arduous cultivation, pushed open the door and walked to the balcony on the second floor of the library. He first looked down at the sleeping gold in the courtyard, where he saw that its body was surrounded by continuous golden light and it was still asleep. Then he looked up at the three balls of Dao fire floating in the sky above the imperial city.

Su Mu has now forged his Dao Body, making his physical body incomparably strong enough to withstand the scorching of Dao Fire. He leaped into the air, spreading a layer of purple-gold Dao Fire around his body, enveloping and drawing in the three clusters of Dao Fire left behind by the Horned Scale Clan experts, drawing them all into his own Qi Sea, and letting the purple-gold Dao Fire slowly fuse and refine them.

Having completed all this, Su Mu returned to the library courtyard. Not long after, Ding Chao arrived to pay his respects and report that he had made all the necessary preparations to condense his divine form. Su Mu had been in seclusion, breaking through to the next level, which was why Ding Chao had only come to report today. Su Mu remembered that Ding Chao had broken through to the late stage of the Martial Emperor realm on October 7th of last year, meaning more than four months had passed since then.

"You can choose the time yourself; there's no need to ask me," Su Mu said casually, his tone indifferent. "Your son will remember your instructions, Godfather," Ding Chao bowed respectfully and turned to return to Yangxin Palace.

At sunrise, Ding Chao swallowed a Qianxu Divine Soul Pill, revealing his Martial Form to face the test of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, striving to break through to the Divine Form realm. The entire process was smooth and without any setbacks. In the afternoon, Ding Chao's Martial Form underwent a perfect transformation, advancing to the Divine Form realm. Simultaneously, Su Mu heard the familiar system notification: [Congratulations to the host's adopted son, Ding Chao, for advancing to the early stage of the Martial Emperor realm. The system reward has been sent to the system warehouse. Please check!]

"Thank you so much for protecting me, godfather and godmother." Ding Chao returned to the library and bowed in gratitude. As was his custom, Su Mu took out a large amount of high-level cultivation resources to reward him, helping him to make steady progress in the future.

After Ding Chao left, Su Mu opened the system warehouse to inventory his rewards. One item, a mid-grade divine-level pill, caught his eye: five Divine Source Embryo-Forging Pills. This pill specifically aids in the transformation of a deity's Dao Embryo, making it an essential treasure for Great God Realm cultivators. The remaining two low-grade divine-level rewards were both pills: a massive quantity of Dao Integration Pills and Divine Spring Pills. As for resources of Heaven-level and below, Su Mu didn't even bother to glance at them anymore.

What he most hoped for right now was Jinzi's breakthrough after this slumber. Su Mu did not return to his bedroom, but stayed in the library courtyard, quietly comprehending the all-around physical enhancement brought by the Dao Body. Within his Qi Sea, the purple-gold Dao Fire continued to digest and fuse the three external Dao Fires without pause. Xiao Yunshang, nearly six months pregnant, quietly stayed by Su Mu's side; the fetus in her womb was developing steadily, and everything was fine.

Time flowed by, and February quietly came to a close. Su Mu's purple-gold Dao Flame had completely absorbed and fused the three Dao Flames within him, its power increasing to a new level. On March 5th, Jinzi, who had been dormant for a full month, finally awoke. At the same moment, the system notification sounded as scheduled. [Congratulations to the host's demon beast son 'Jinzi' for advancing to a mid-stage level nine flying beast. The system reward has been sent to the system warehouse. Please check!]

Full of anticipation, Su Mu immediately opened the system warehouse to check.

When Jin Zi broke through from the late stage of level eight to the early stage of level nine, the system rewarded him with a high-grade divine-rank Heavenly Fire Puppet, along with two mid-grade divine-rank treasures and five low-grade divine-rank treasures. This time, advancing from the early stage of level nine to the mid-stage, the rewards should be even more generous. However, the warehouse didn't contain the supreme divine-rank treasure that Su Mu had been longing for; instead, it contained two high-grade divine-rank treasures. The first was a Dharma Body Puppet, possessing its own powerful Dharma Body, with overall combat strength far exceeding that of the Heavenly Fire Puppet, enough to directly contend with a late-stage Heavenly God Realm expert. The second was the high-grade divine-rank sword technique, "Extreme Sword Void Slash." This sword technique was incredibly powerful; to unleash its full peak power, one not only needed top-tier swordsmanship but also had to comprehend a portion of the laws of space.

Su Mu possessed profound swordsmanship, though he hadn't yet reached the level of laws. He understood that after thoroughly mastering the Great Daos like the Imperial Dao, Sword Dao, Thunder Dao, and Fire Dao, the next step was to comprehend the inherent laws of heaven and earth associated with those Great Daos. Only by comprehending at least a portion of the laws of one Great Dao could he condense his Dharma Body and truly reach the Great God Realm. From the formation of his Dao Soul until the late God King Realm, his cultivation had always revolved around comprehending laws. The Heavenly God Realm required a complete understanding of the laws of one Great Dao, followed by a small amount of spatial laws; the God King Realm required mastering the entire set of spatial laws and further touching upon the laws of time…

The laws of the Great Dao are profound and obscure, and related auxiliary elixirs and rare treasures are extremely scarce. Therefore, each breakthrough above the True God realm often takes tens of thousands of years, and even years of arduous cultivation may yield no progress. This is also the key reason why Song Qingmei was willing to acknowledge Su Mu as her godfather. Su Mu had made a soul oath, guaranteeing to help her ascend to the Heavenly God realm within ten thousand years. For Song Qingmei, who was stuck in the mid-stage of the True God realm and unable to make any progress, this promise was equivalent to a second life.

"My understanding of the Great Dao of Space is still shallow, and my swordsmanship has not yet touched upon the laws, but relying on the foundation of the four perfect Great Daos, I can still delve into this 'Extreme Sword Void Slash'," Su Mu pondered to himself. He had been consuming large amounts of Enlightenment Pills and Dao Integration Pills for many years. These pills not only elevated his soul realm but also greatly enhanced his innate comprehension. Cultivators of different races are born with varying levels of comprehension, but acquired opportunities and pills can compensate for shortcomings; however, such opportunities are rare and hard to come by.

Aside from the two high-grade divine-level items, this reward also includes four mid-grade divine-level and eight low-grade divine-level treasures. These include a mid-grade divine-level anti-flight talisman; a brand-new mid-grade divine-level divine golden puppet; ten divine source embryo-forging pills; and five Bodhi inscription pills. Upon carefully reading the description of the Bodhi inscription pills, Su Mu's face lit up with joy. This was a rare soul-type divine pill, capable of assisting cultivators in comprehending the laws of the Great Dao and accelerating the condensation of their Dharma form—exactly what was needed to break through to the Great God Realm. The system indeed provided the necessary breakthrough pills as needed.

The eight types of low-grade divine resources are quite useful, but they offer limited assistance to Su Mu in his current state. They include five hundred Divine Spring Pills, dozens of Dao Integration Pills, Heavenly Pattern Dao Fire Pills, and several practical divine talismans.
