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

This clan has a unique bloodline; all offspring born into the clan are women, whose skin is marked with blood-red cherry blossom patterns from birth, hence the name Blood Cherry Clan.

The infamous Blood Demon Clan has spread throughout the heavens and is known to all.

The women of the Blood Cherry Clan are all exceptionally beautiful and possess captivating figures. They are masters of unparalleled allure and were once a pilgrimage site for countless male cultivators. However, their method of reproduction is extremely sinister and domineering. They need to cultivate together with men of other races who possess outstanding talent, absorbing the other's superior genes to produce offspring.

Most terrifyingly, whenever the joint cultivation ends and the man's soul is weakened, they will suddenly attack, devouring his soul essence and all his cultivation on the spot. The top talents and foundation of the Great Dao of the devoured man will be passed on to the newborn Blood Cherry Clan offspring.

Over time, the once sacred land of the heavens was completely transformed into a malevolent place feared by all, and the Blood Cherry Clan also suffered a notorious and infamous fate.

Despite their tarnished reputation and ruthless methods, making them untouchable, the Blood Cherry Clan possesses a profound foundation thanks to their domineering inherited talent. With several orthodox Saint Realm experts within the clan, they stand tall throughout the heavens, unassailable by anyone.

Dabron's gaze turned serious, and he spoke in a deep voice, "I remember that the Blood Cherry Clan and the Sky Wolf Clan share the same origin, both being descendants of a branch of that ancient clan. You must have been able to contact them through the Sky Wolf Clan, right?"

The Three-Eyed King did not deny it, but nodded frankly. Dabrang had long been aware of his secret dealings with the Sirius Clan, but had never spoken of it, and there was no need to hide it now.

Dabrang harbored deep resentment and a strong aversion to cooperating with this descendant of the race, but after looking around at his own desperate situation and weighing the pros and cons, he found that he had no other choice.

After a long silence, he took a deep breath, suppressing all his resistance and struggle, and asked in a low voice, "What conditions did they offer?"

Seeing that the Palace Master had agreed, a hint of joy flashed in the Three-Eyed King's eyes, and he immediately replied, "The Blood Cherry Clan needs two spots to enter the secret realm. In exchange, they promise that the Palace Master will receive 30% of the treasures obtained from the secret realm, and they will also give you a genuine opportunity to become a saint."

Dabron understood and smiled calmly.

He never took the so-called 30% distribution of treasures to heart. The Blood Cherry Clan was cunning and ruthless; their so-called dividends were most likely just a pile of useless scraps and garbage resources, only good enough to fool ordinary juniors, and not worth his attention at all.

Only that chance to become a saint completely moved him.

After a moment's hesitation, he immediately made his decision: "Very well. As long as the Blood Cherry Clan dares to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, guaranteeing me the opportunity to become a saint, I will give them both of the Star Palace's secret realm slots!"

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

Over these three days, the usually tranquil Star Palace became completely bustling and noisy, with undercurrents surging and storms gathering.

The news that Yu Sheng, a powerful Saint Realm cultivator of the human race, had emerged from seclusion spread throughout the entire Star Palace. Xiao Xuance was overjoyed and full of energy, spending his days busy in the palace, coordinating various affairs. He acted arrogantly and domineeringly, clearly regarding himself as the new Palace Master, issuing orders and overseeing the overall situation at will.

On the first day after Yu Sheng emerged from seclusion, he made a special trip to visit Su Mu and the mysterious senior shrouded in black robes. He had hoped to take the opportunity to investigate the true combat strength and background of the Apocalypse Puppet, but the puppet was surrounded by layers of mysterious formations that concealed all aura and cultivation levels. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to obtain any useful information and had to return empty-handed.

At the same time, powerful beings from beyond the realm arrived at the Star Palace.

The Blood Cherry Clan, along with two Sky Wolf Clan God Kings, crossed star fields to reach Tai Dou Star.

Upon arrival, Dabrang was immediately filled with doubt and confusion. Previously, the Three-Eyed God King had conveyed that the Blood Cherry Clan would send two Saint Realm experts to assist them, but in the end, only a woman in the early Saint Realm and a young woman who appeared to be at the peak of the God King realm were present.

The presence of a saint and a god contradicted the promise, leaving him momentarily unable to fathom the Blood Cherry Clan's true intentions and wondering what schemes they were plotting.

The Blood Cherry Clan experts who came this time were a pair of sisters. The elder sister, Bu Chuan Nai Zhao, was at the early stage of the orthodox Saint Realm. She had a cold temperament, deep eyes, and a calm and unpredictable aura. The younger sister, Bu Chuan Ku Cha, appeared to be at the peak of the God King Realm. She had an unparalleled appearance, was lively and charming, and harbored many secrets.

Upon the arrival of reinforcements, Dabrang dared not delay and immediately summoned all the core experts of the Star Palace to the main hall for a meeting.

Inside the grand and solemn Star Palace, various factions were seated, their auras clashing and the atmosphere subtle.

Yu Sheng, the Holy Realm of the Human Race, sat high in the main hall, his position revered and overlooking the entire scene. The three native God Kings of the Star Palace stood behind him, bowing respectfully and obeying his orders.

On the left side of the main hall, the black-robed Apocalypse Puppet sat silently, its aura cold, deathly, and unfathomable. Su Mu stood quietly behind the puppet, his expression calm and composed.

On the right side of the main hall, the two Buchuan sisters sat gracefully, their figures slender and their temperaments distinctly different—one cold and aloof, the other alluring and commanding. Two Heavenly Wolf Clan God-Kings stood behind them, hands at their sides, their expressions solemn, awaiting orders.

The three groups faced each other across the hall, scrutinizing and wary of one another, with no one daring to speak first. The atmosphere in the hall was eerily oppressive, with silent undercurrents surging through the air.

Especially between Su Mu and the members of the Sirius Clan, their old grudges ran deep and the blood feud had not yet subsided. The invisible smoke of battle had already filled the entire place, making the atmosphere in the hall increasingly heavy and suffocating.

From his seat, Yu Sheng took in the entire scene and secretly rejoiced.

Su Mu's old grudges with the Sirius Clan and the Blood Cherry Clan are a great boon to him. With all parties harboring resentment and unable to work together, once they enter the secret realm, he can reap the benefits, maintain balance, and firmly control the overall situation.

As the only legitimate Saint Realm expert and the nominally highest combat power of the Star Palace, Yu Sheng naturally wouldn't allow the conflict to erupt in the hall and ruin the grand plan of the secret realm.

When the time was ripe, he spoke slowly, his clear voice breaking the silence of the hall: "Fellow Daoists, your journey from afar to explore this secret realm together is a great fortune for my Star Palace. Please set aside past grievances and personal grudges for the time being. The secret realm is fraught with danger and surrounded by powerful enemies. Only by working together and fighting side by side can we safely search for treasures and escape unscathed. If we are divided and kill each other, we will only be defeated one by one by the major powers from beyond the realm, who will then reap the benefits."

After speaking, Yu Sheng glanced at the Tianqi Puppet and the Bu Chuan sisters, waiting for everyone to express their opinions.

All three were quick-witted and understood his meaning instantly. They bowed and replied, "Fellow Daoist is absolutely right."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Yu Sheng's expression softened slightly, and he continued in a loud voice, "Since we are all in the same boat and heading towards the future together, then I will speak frankly and honestly."

"As you all know, my Star Palace has always been an affiliated force of the Star God Temple. In every past opening of the secret realm, my Star Palace disciples have always served as cannon fodder, risking their lives and fighting to the death. In the end, the opportunities and treasures they obtained were all defective products and scraps discarded by the Star God Temple. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, my Star Palace has suffered countless deaths and injuries and enormous losses, but has never received an equal return."

When talking about the past, a deep ruthlessness and suppressed hatred flashed in Yu Sheng's eyes. It was clear that his experience of fighting in the secret realm with the Star God Palace had made him suffer humiliation and left an indelible mark on his heart.

After calming himself down, he spoke again, revealing the core rule of the secret realm: "The rules of the secret realm are unique, exerting a strong suppression on the cultivation level of those who enter. After countless trials and explorations, the early stage of the Saint Realm is the optimal and highest cultivation level limit for those who enter. This time, the Star God Palace and the other two top forces sent powerful individuals who entered, all of whom are stuck at the early stage of the Saint Realm."

The words contained a deeper meaning, and everyone present, being astute, instantly grasped the key point.

The top powers will never allow their subordinate forces to enter the game with top-tier combat power that surpasses or equals their own, lest the subordinate forces turn the tables and seize the treasures and opportunities.

Su Mu's eyes flickered slightly. He manipulated the Apocalypse Puppet in front of him to speak first, his tone confident and composed: "Fellow Daoist, rest assured. I possess a top-tier treasure for concealing my cultivation. Even when facing the probing of a peak Saint Realm expert, I can perfectly conceal my true cultivation level, and no one can detect it in the slightest."

Yu Sheng nodded slightly, then his gaze fell on the two Blood Cherry sisters on his right.

Bu Chuan Nai Zhao smiled confidently and replied calmly, "I also have a unique secret technique to conceal my cultivation level. No one from the Star God Palace could possibly detect my Saint Realm foundation."

Yu Sheng's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Bu Chuan Ku Cha, who appeared to be at the peak of the God King realm, with a hint of skepticism in his eyes.

Faced with scrutinizing gazes, the two Buchuan sisters remained calm and composed, without revealing any flaws, and no one could discern their true thoughts.

After observing the situation several times without finding anything, Yu Sheng withdrew his gaze and moved on to the most crucial topic: "Since there are no hidden dangers from any party, let's agree on the rules for distributing the treasures from the secret realm in advance. What do you all think?"

Everyone knew that in a chaotic world with hidden treasures at hand, the rules agreed upon beforehand would ultimately have limited binding force. However, this agreement could ensure that everyone would unite against a common enemy before entering the game and in the early stages of the treasure hunt, avoiding internal strife that would damage their own strength and result in more losses than gains before even finding the treasure.
