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

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, the Three-Eyed Clan God stationed outside Tianyuan Star City visited again to inquire whether Su Mu was ready and could set off for Taidou Star immediately.

Su Mu remained calm, simply replying that he needed a few more days to rest. The other party dared not press the matter further, and could only bow and retreat, returning to the inn outside the city to wait quietly.

On the tenth day, Su Mu finally heard the system notification he had been longing for.

[Congratulations to my sworn sister, Song Qingmei, on advancing to the early stage of the Great God Realm! The system reward has been deposited into your inventory. Please check it!]

Upon hearing this prompt, Su Mu's heart suddenly pounded several times, and his eyes instantly welled up with intense excitement and joy.

He had always taken a detached view of the breakthrough rewards for his disciples, but Song Qingmei's advancement was the one that truly excited him. Song Qingmei possessed exceptional talent and profound fortune, and was also a core disciple whom he had focused on cultivating. The system rewards brought by her breakthrough were always of far superior quality to those of ordinary people.

Suppressing his excitement, Su Mu immediately opened the system warehouse to check the new rewards.

As expected, the system never disappointed him.

This reward completely dispelled all his concerns about the trip to Taidou Star, instantly boosting his confidence. This advancement directly granted him four high-grade Saint-level treasures, including one low-grade Saint-level and three mid-grade Saint-level, far surpassing the quality of any previous rewards. As for the accompanying God-level top-grade consumables, Su Mu only glanced at them briefly before losing all interest.

The first supreme treasure, a low-grade Saint-level item—the Imperial Glazed Armor.

Saint-level battle armor already possesses terrifying defensive capabilities, capable of withstanding high-level law attacks. This Imperial Glazed Armor is even more unique, possessing the nourishing power of the Imperial Way, capable of nurturing the cultivator's physical body and Dao foundation day and night, and possessing the special characteristic of autonomous improvement and continuous strengthening.

Most importantly, this armor belongs to the Imperial Set series. Collecting two or more pieces of the set unlocks multiple exclusive effects, resulting in a significant boost to combat power.

After reviewing the attributes of the Glazed Armor, Su Mu's gaze immediately fell upon the other three mid-grade Saint-level treasures.

The second item, the Imperial Way Universe-Breaking Spear, is also one of the core components of the Imperial Way Set.

The moment Su Mu donned and empowered the Glazed Armor and the Universe-Breaking Spear simultaneously, the radiance of the two treasures merged and flowed, instantly activating the set's exclusive divine power—Soul Suppression!

When the Imperial Way Universe-Breaking Spear is activated to launch an attack, there is a very high probability of triggering the Soul-Suppressing Miracle Effect, which instantly suppresses the opponent's soul essence, causing them to fall into a state of brief soul dizziness and law stagnation, making it extremely valuable in actual combat.

The third item is a mid-grade Saint-level item—the Creation Pagoda.

The pagoda contains pure spatial laws, making it a supreme treasure for comprehending the Great Dao of Space. When cultivators enter it to practice, their understanding of spatial laws will undergo a qualitative leap. This substantial understanding has two excellent uses.

Firstly, for ordinary cultivators, comprehending the laws is like walking in the dark, with no way to see clearly; they can only grope blindly and achieve little. The Creation Pagoda, however, is like a beacon in the long night, illuminating the path of the laws for cultivators, making their cultivation journey smooth and unobstructed, allowing them to progress far faster than others.

Secondly, a unique illusory realm of laws will emerge within the tower. Within this realm, the laws of space will be materialized and solidified, as if personally demonstrated and blessed by a venerable master of the Great Dao. The spatial comprehension that others painstakingly cultivate for a hundred years can be achieved in just a few days within the tower, a difference as vast as heaven and earth.

The fourth item, a mid-grade Saint-level item, is the Destruction Saint Rune.

Once activated, this talisman can forcibly tear apart and collapse a region of space, causing a devastating spatial collapse that obliterates everything within its reach. Aside from top-tier experts at the mid-stage of the God-King realm or higher, no one can directly withstand this destructive power.

After taking inventory of the four Saint-level treasures, Su Mu felt completely at ease and had no more fear of the upcoming trip to Tai Dou Star.

At this moment, he possesses three trump cards: the Sacred Fire Talisman, the Spatial Orb, and the Sacred Destruction Talisman. He has both methods of self-preservation and killing, and even if he encounters a mid-stage God King realm expert, he will have enough power to protect himself and maneuver. As for opponents below the God King realm, with the support of the two Imperial Path Sets and his own cultivation and combat power, he is more than capable of crushing them head-on and engaging in a powerful battle.

In addition to the four Saint-level treasures, the system also provides two kinds of Divine-level top-grade pills, ten of each—Nine Netherworld Breaking Dao Pill and Heavenly Purity Bodhi Pill.

Although both types of pills are only at the highest level of the Divine Rank, their combat effects are comparable to the lowest level of the Saint Rank, and they have no side effects. They can be taken continuously and in combination.

The Nine Netherworld Breakthrough Pill can instantly temper the physical body to the extreme, causing a rapid increase in physical strength. When taken by a Great God Realm cultivator, the hardness of the physical body can be comparable to the immortal body of a God King Realm cultivator, making the physical defense virtually unbeatable.

The Heavenly Purity Bodhi Pill can rapidly break through the shackles of one's own combat power, greatly enhance overall combat strength in a short period of time, and reverse the battle situation and break through the deadlock to kill the enemy in desperate situations.

After fully understanding the effects of the rewards, Su Mu gave Xiao Yunshang and Song Pingchao some brief instructions, then stepped into the Time Mirror Domain, summoned the Creation Pagoda, and flashed into the pagoda to meditate and comprehend the Dao.

The more advanced Su Mu's cultivation, the more he understood the true essence of the Great Dao. After entering the Celestial God Realm, the competition among cultivators was no longer simply about physical strength and spiritual power, but about the depth of their mastery of the laws. Upon reaching the God King Realm, it became a pure contest of laws and the crushing power of the Great Dao.

The fact that Song Pingchao had previously killed three Horned Scale Clan Celestials is the best proof of this. With a single spatial freeze, the entire airspace was locked down, rendering the three peak Celestials unable to move and their laws frozen. They could only become lambs to the slaughter, powerless to resist. This is the absolute suppression of high-level laws.

Of course, physical strength and basic combat power are equally indispensable. Without sufficiently strong defense-breaking ability, even if you restrain the opponent's body, it will be difficult to break through their defense and achieve a fatal blow.

Su Mu's core purpose in entering the Creation Pagoda is to comprehend the laws of space. Once he grasps even a fraction of the essence of the Great Dao of Space, his confidence on this trip to Tai Dou Star will be greatly enhanced.

Inside the Pagoda of Creation, the world was tranquil, and the Daoist energy flowed freely.

Su Mu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. In an instant, the originally dark and empty space inside the tower transformed into a vast and boundless sea.

Su Mu stood steadily on the sea surface, his feet lightly touching the water. The vast sea was completely still and serene.

The next instant, a figure appeared in front of Su Mu without warning.

Upon closer inspection, the newcomer's appearance, figure, and clothing were exactly the same as Su Mu's, like a mirror reflection, without the slightest difference.

Before Su Mu could even feel surprised, the illusory body of Su Mu casually raised his hand and waved it, and the sea a hundred feet away from him instantly churned violently, boiled and exploded.

Roar--!

A deep, deafening dragon roar erupted from the depths of the sea, and a ten-thousand-foot-long water dragon, entirely formed from seawater, broke through the sea and soared into the sky, reaching the heavens.

Just as the water dragon ascended to a height of a thousand feet, Su Mu, in his illusory form, raised his eyes and hand, and gently tapped his index finger from a distance.

The space around the water dragon instantly twisted violently and trembled irregularly, causing the massive water dragon body to twist and deform along with it, and its internal space to continuously collapse and annihilate.

Within a few breaths, the mighty water dragon suddenly exploded, turning into countless tiny water droplets that fell from the sky.

Having done all this, Su Mu, in his illusory form, had icy eyes, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, and his indifferent voice slowly rang out: "Spatial tremor, one of the basic applications of the laws of space. It uses pure spatial power to cause tremors in the airspace, ignoring physical defenses and armor barriers, and directly causing penetrating vibration damage to the enemy's body and internal organs."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom raised its hand again and gently swept across the entire airspace where the water droplets were falling.

His arms were like peerless blades, each swing tearing through space. After several sweeps, the entire airspace was sliced ​​apart layer by layer, turning into thin strips of spatial light, the barriers shattered, and utterly chaotic.

"Spatial cutting is also a fundamental spatial law. Using spatial power to sever airspace has decent destructive power, but the trajectory is intuitive and easy to predict, making it very easy for opponents to dodge in actual combat, which has significant limitations."

After a brief explanation, Su Mu, in his illusory form, made a grasping motion in the air. The previously shattered and chaotic space instantly healed and stitched together, returning to its original calm and still state within a few breaths.

Su Mu stared intently at the restored airspace, and when he turned his head again, the illusory clone in front of him had vanished without a trace.

"Spatial Concealment. It uses the power of space to conceal one's form, aura, and spiritual fluctuations, making it undetectable by the naked eye or conventional spiritual detection. Only top experts who have mastered spatial perception can detect its presence. Its advantage is limited in battles against opponents of the same realm, but if used flexibly, it can be used for stealthy ambushes and unpredictable advances and retreats, making it highly useful in actual combat."

As the voice rose again, the vanished phantom reappeared out of thin air, standing quietly in front of Su Mu.

Spatial vibration, spatial cutting, and spatial concealment are the three fundamental techniques for understanding the laws of space. Even a cultivator at the Heavenly God Realm can easily activate them with a little comprehension.

After the basic demonstration, the illusionary body finally began to display its true high-level spatial divine power, which is also the top-level law power that only a God-King realm expert can control.
