One person established a clan

Chapter 193 Underworld Marriage
Su Cheng had not expected that Fu Luo would present such a valuable treasure so readily.

However, the efficacy and symbolism of this Netherworld Three Lives Stone are...
It's really intriguing.

"Xiao Fu, are you really going to give this to me?" Su Cheng asked with a strange expression.

Flo turned her head away to avoid eye contact: "It's just a piece of jade that I casually crafted. You can wear it as a personal ornament."

This girl is clearly saying one thing and meaning another.

However, she is a rare and good girl.

Su Cheng put the black jade into his pocket. "I accept this token of my appreciation and will keep it safe."

"Um"

Flora's lips, hidden beneath her veil, curved slightly upward, and her gaze softened.

"Lie down and rest, I'll watch over you."

She pulled Su Cheng to sit down beside the stone bed: "If there is any unusual movement, I will wake you up again."

"There's no need to keep a special watch over it."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "If there is any disturbance, I will notice it. You have been traveling with me for so long, you should take a short rest."

Flo hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded gently, blushing.

She hesitated for a moment, then quietly moved a little closer and whispered, "Uncle, can we do it together like we did in the Dragon Tomb? Hmm!"

Before she finished speaking, Su Cheng had already pulled her down to lie on the soft pillows he had brought.

"."

The two lay side by side, and the cave was silent for a moment.

The puppet also quietly crawled over and nestled in Su Cheng's arms.

Flora's body remained stiff and motionless, her beautiful eyes flickering beneath her veil, a strange ripple stirring in her heart.

My uncle and that Daoist girl were so intimate, and now I'm lying side by side with them.
Isn't that...?
"Are you nervous?"

"N-nothing," Flora replied subconsciously, then suddenly realized what she meant, blushing and scolding, "Uncle, why are you staring at me like that?"

Su Cheng chuckled: "You've been so cold these past few days, it's quite adorable to see you blushing so much."

Flora was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "You lewd uncle, are you perhaps planning something bad for me?"

Su Cheng: “.”

He then lightly stroked her palm a few times, causing the girl to tremble and gasp softly.

"Don't itch!"

Flora quickly grasped Su Cheng's hand, her eyes, hidden beneath her veil, filled with a hint of annoyance: "Uncle, you..."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "If we really wanted to do something bad, it wouldn't be just this."

Flora blushed, recalling the scene she had accidentally witnessed in town, and mumbled something before falling silent.

If I were in the shoes of that Daoist girl, I'm afraid I'd be bullied by my uncle until I cried.
"."

Seeing that she had calmed down, Su Cheng's expression softened, and he then focused his attention on the Immortal Sect space.

Looking at the mountain of Seven Star Spirit Ore, he couldn't help but sigh that this secret realm truly lived up to its reputation, and this exploration had indeed yielded a great deal of rewards.

"It will be just right to strengthen this sword."

With a thought, Su Cheng conjured the demonic sword in his hand.

He sent the sword into the weapon-forging room and allocated a large amount of spiritual materials, and the alchemical fire was reignited.

"After spending a hundred years of spiritual energy, we should be able to forge a complete spiritual weapon this time."

Looking at the remaining thousand-year-old spiritual energy, Su Cheng pondered for a moment and ultimately decided not to continue using it.

If we encounter the Lord of the Heavenly Alliance later, this spiritual energy can still be used as one of our trump cards, and we should not squander it.

After a while——

The cave was completely silent except for the sound of their even breathing.

Su Cheng quietly opened his eyes and breathed a satisfied sigh of relief.

Although it was a rare moment of rest, he seized the opportunity to spar with many phantoms for a long time, fighting to his heart's content.

Looking to the side, he saw that Flor was fast asleep, leaning on his shoulder, her legs wrapped tightly around his arms, which she had somehow managed to pull close.

"His sleeping posture is quite clingy." Su Cheng couldn't help but chuckle.

Just then, a soft sigh reached my ears: "You're doing well, sleeping in the same bed with this girl again."

His smile froze slightly: "Xuan'er?"

"The jade ring has been removed; now we have important business to attend to." Shi Xuanrou scolded, "Why aren't you getting up? How long are you going to let her hold you like that?"

Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly withdrew his arm and sat up.

"Xuan'er figured out the secret so quickly?"

“In the past, it would have been even faster.” Shi Xuan handed over the jade ring: “As long as enough spiritual energy is injected, the restrictions on this realm can be broken, leading directly to the Seven Stars Site.”

"Where is that?"

"The ruins of a fairyland from thousands of years ago."

Shi Xuan explained softly, "This Seven Star Secret Realm is actually a seal that divides the immortal ruins in two."

The corpses we saw along the way were all remnants left behind from that time, and the Seven Star Cave was merely the outer layer of the ruins.

Su Cheng stroked the ancient patterns on the jade ring, lost in thought.

The outer layer alone is this large, even more expansive than the Xuanqing Dragon Clan's territory a thousand years ago. This immortal clan's ruins must have once been a powerful force.
"Originally, seven jade rings needed to be collected and activated in sequence according to the seven stone peaks outside the secret realm in order to unlock the restrictions deep within the secret realm."

As Shi Xuanzheng spoke, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "With a little manipulation, all we need to do now is activate this ring, and we can forcibly open a 'secret path' for us to freely enter and exit."

Su Cheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Xuan'er is truly skilled!"

"Hmm," Shi Xuan's ears turned slightly red, and he quickly coughed twice: "Don't praise me yet, it's more important to activate the restriction quickly."

Su Cheng's eyebrows twitched slightly: "But there are already wandering corpses on the outer layer. Could it be inside the old site?"

"If there is any danger, we will retreat immediately."

Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Besides, if there were really powerful enemies who could harm us, they would have broken free of the seal long ago. Why would they have been trapped for thousands of years?"

"woo"

Flo was startled awake by the noise and sat up sleepily: "Uncle, what happened?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Would you like to come with me into the Seven Star Secret Realm to explore its secrets?"

"Huh?" Flora was startled, then fully awakened. Seeing the jade ring in his hand gradually gaining more spiritual light, she couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart.

"Uncle, could it be that he has already..."

Before the words were finished, the jade ring suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, weaving into an illusory door in the cave.

Su Cheng helped Flora and the puppet to their feet: "The restrictions have been lifted, it's time to set off."

".good!"

Flora composed herself, the dark patterns on her palms appearing and disappearing, her expression solemn.

As Su Cheng pushed open the portal, the three of them immediately stepped inside—

"Ok?"

What came into view was a dark and dilapidated ruin.

Amidst the rubble and broken stones, jagged cracks crisscrossed like natural barriers, seemingly recounting that earth-shattering, epic battle.

"This place is very vast."

A ball of spiritual light gathered in Flora's palm, slightly illuminating an area of ​​several hundred feet in radius.

Looking around at the desolate scene, Su Cheng couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "It truly is a 'ruins'."

[Detected 'Netherwater'. Distance 39m] [Refinable] [Do not touch lightly]

He suddenly turned his head and caught a glimpse of a dark stream of water through the crevice, exuding a chilling aura.

Combined with the deathly silence around us, it felt as if we had stepped into the underworld.
"Be careful."

Shi Xuan whispered solemnly in his ear, "This place is quite strange."

Su Cheng gripped the jade ring in his hand, nodded silently, and walked forward slowly.

The three of them remained vigilant and cautious of their surroundings, and successfully traversed the ruins that stretched for over a hundred feet.

"Judging from these ruins, it must have been a palace thousands of years ago?"

Su Cheng gently stroked the stone pillar beside him with his fingertips, on which a mysterious ancient pattern faintly flashed.

Every brick and tile here is engraved with symbols, which have not been completely worn away by thousands of years of wind and frost, a testament to their ancient origins.
"Uncle, this place seems..."

Flo suddenly spoke, staring blankly at the flickering Netherworld runes in her palm. "It has something to do with my Inquiry into the Netherworld Mountain's heritage."

Su Cheng's heart stirred slightly, and he suddenly felt a chilling aura brush against his face.

[Detected 'Netherworld Mystic Energy'] [Absorb?]

He suddenly looked into the depths of the ruins, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

Judging from the words 'Netherworld' alone, it does indeed have some connection with the mystical arts and techniques that Flora cultivates.
"Perhaps, this place truly holds an ancient heritage suitable for her."

Shi Xuan whispered in her ear, "With her Netherworld Body entering the Holy Body, she is indeed a perfect match for the Netherworld energy here."

After walking several dozen steps, illuminated by the spiritual light, half of the dilapidated ancient altar gradually revealed its true form.

The surrounding ruins were filled with black crystals that grew and spread like thorns, making it seem like a forbidden land for living beings.

Su Cheng suddenly felt the soft hand in his palm grow increasingly cold.

Flora's robes fluttered without wind, and mysterious ancient patterns quietly spread around her. Even the Netherworld Mirror in her bosom floated in front of her on its own, its ghostly light flickering uncertainly.

"Uncle, I want to go over and take a look."

Be careful.

Su Cheng did not stop her, but simply watched intently as she walked toward the ancient altar.

Flora held her breath and gazed silently at the wisp of black flame burning on the ancient altar.

In a daze, countless fragmented images flashed through her mind, and she subconsciously reached out her delicate hand to slowly gather the black flames into her palm.

Om-!
A strange aura burst forth from Flora's body, stirring up a biting wind among the ruins.

Su Cheng narrowed his eyes and was shocked to see a wisp of black mist, almost tangible, reaching out to him. Out of the corner of his eye, he also saw the system's light screen slowly unfolding.

[The 'Netherworld Source Vein' has been detected being formed.]

[The 'Netherworld Soul Mark' has been detected. The woman has no marital history. Her feelings for the sect leader are those of innocent, budding affection.]

All conditions are met.

[Would you like to accept the Soul Imprint and become a Daoist partner with 'Flo (Lord of the Underworld)'?]
