One person established a clan

Chapter 266 Soft and Delicious
Boom——!
The clear sky, which was just moments ago bright and sunny, was now covered with dark clouds that blotted out the sun.

Thick, dark clouds poured down like ink, shrouding the entire imperial city in gloom.

An invisible pressure quietly spread, causing all the cultivators in the city to tremble in their hearts and look up at the sky in horror.

That oppressive aura was profound and mysterious, containing unimaginable power of heaven and earth.

What exactly happened in the imperial city?!

"This"

The maids standing outside the palace were stunned as they stared at the sky filled with flashing lightning.

Although I didn't understand what was going on, a bone-chilling cold had already crept up my spine, and my legs went weak, almost causing me to collapse to the ground.

But as he swayed, he was quickly and steadily supported by strong arms.

"Go inside the hall and take refuge for now. Do not peek out."

The maid turned around in surprise, and seeing Su Cheng's calm expression, she felt relieved and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Young master, please be very careful!"

"Alright." A flash of light appeared beneath Su Cheng's feet, and he instantly soared a hundred feet into the air, gazing at the churning thunderclouds in the sky.

The birth of a spiritual treasure requires passing through a heavenly tribulation, and this even more powerful Void Profound Treasure naturally attracts no ordinary heavenly lightning.

With a flick of his wide sleeves, a formation instantly rose in all directions, completely sealing off the power of the lightning tribulation.

This formation was obtained from the Abyss of Hell. Although it is incomplete, it is still a Void Profound item, sufficient to withstand the residual power of the Heavenly Tribulation and also to prevent outsiders from spying on it.

Om-!
The sword rang out in the sky, and a ray of clear light seemed to pierce through the darkness, illuminating all parts of the imperial city.

A spiritual light flowed in Su Cheng's palm, and the three-foot-long Xuan Sword shone with a hazy glow, the ancient patterns on its spine flickering uncertainly.

"The changes are quite significant."

He gently stroked the cool blade with his fingertips and couldn't help but marvel at it.

After being promoted to the Void Profound rank, this sword seemed to have washed away its superficiality and returned to its original simplicity, becoming even more ancient and restrained.

However, when held in one's hand, one can clearly feel the terrifying power contained within, and the intensity of the sword intent far exceeds imagination!

hum!
The clanging of swords echoed incessantly, as if they were joyfully expressing their feelings. Su Cheng seemed to sense this and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, let's break through this heavenly tribulation first."

He skillfully twirled his sword, then pointed it at the sky.

As the thunder roared suddenly, a sword slashed out from the sky.

laugh--!
The sword mark cleaved through the sky, and silently, the thunderclouds were split in two.

The lightning tribulation that was so fierce just moments ago has now crumbled and transformed into pure spiritual energy that pours down like a waterfall.

"hiss--"

Outside the imperial court, all the civil and military officials were dumbfounded.

Supported by his attendants, the old emperor stepped out of the palace. Gazing at the scene before him, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled softly:
"Who dares to say now that it was a mistake to entrust the country and Sha'er to him?"

"."

As the calamity clouds gradually dissipated, the close advisors beside him all swallowed hard, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

"Her Majesty the Empress and Immortal Su are truly a match made in heaven, a divine couple!"

As the dark clouds dispersed, the warm sun shone once more upon the imperial city.

He returned wielding the sword, his left hand loosely clenched, with what seemed like lightning flowing between his fingers, concealing a power of annihilation.

[Absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation Qi: Twenty Years]

Looking at the Xuan Sword in his hand, it had undergone the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation and had completed its final transformation, officially joining the ranks of the Void Profound.

"This sword has been completely transformed."

Shi Xuan's languid voice rang in my ears: "Given time and careful nurturing, it may give birth to a true sword spirit."

Su Cheng chuckled, "Xuan'er woke up so early?"

"How can anyone sleep peacefully with such noise?"

Shi Xuan spoke softly and coquettishly, her voice barely audible: "Tonight, you're not allowed to touch us again."

“I know the ladies need to rest.”

"That sounds nice."

Shi Xuansu snorted softly, "You begged for mercy so many times last night, but not only did you not stop, you even bullied me so enthusiastically."

Su Cheng coughed twice: "The arrow is on the string, it has to be released."

What kind of arrow?

Shi Xuan stopped speaking abruptly, pursing her lips and falling silent. Her jade-like face flushed red with embarrassment. After a long while, she whispered a soft "You big bad guy."

Su Cheng smiled and turned his gaze back to the Xuan Sword.

As my fingertips lightly touched the sword, the system screen in my mind slowly unfolded:

[Appearance Modification] [Functional Modification] [Sword Marrow Modification].
"It seems I'll have to think about this for a while longer."

At the same time, Feng Sha, who was in bed, slowly awoke.

She languidly propped herself up, letting the brocade quilt slide down her skin.

Her smooth, jade-like body, adorned with golden patterns, was faintly visible in the morning light, her eyes gazing dreamily out the window.

"Husband?" The two maids, who had just recovered from the dramatic change outside the window, turned around upon hearing this and were about to go forward to help him with his washing and grooming when Su Cheng pushed the door open and returned.

"I'll do it. You can go and prepare lunch."

"Yes." The maids obediently withdrew.

Su Cheng sheathed his sword and went to the bedside to gently stroke Feng Sha's soft, golden hair. "Did you sleep well?"

"."

Feng Sha unconsciously rubbed against his palm.

Once she regained her senses, she suddenly paused, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her golden eyes.

"My husband, I slept very well."

She looked up and met Su Cheng's gaze, her heart instantly softening like cotton. She couldn't help but hook her arms around the back of his neck and snuggle into his embrace.

"Husband~"

Her sweet voice melted like honey.

Feng Sha revealed a gentle smile, her eyes reflecting only Su Cheng's figure. "You worked hard all night last night, didn't you get a moment's rest?"

"I am physically strong, it's fine."

Su Cheng chuckled and pinched her flushed cheek. "As for you, if you want to sleep, then sleep a little longer."

"Hmm."

Phoenix's face was flushed with rosy clouds, and she responded softly.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Su Cheng glanced at the system screen and felt ashamed.

[Peak: Thirteen] [Tide: Twenty-One]

Last night was definitely a hectic night.
"Hmm?" Su Cheng's gaze narrowed slightly. Whether it was his imagination or not, Sha'er's figure seemed to be becoming more and more voluptuous and alluring.

Even the radiant glass seal expanded by one circle.

"My lord~" Feng Sha's golden eyes sparkled. "Don't go anywhere, just stay here with us a little longer~"

"That's natural." Su Cheng chuckled, regaining his composure. "But when do you plan to return to court to govern?"

"Give it a couple more days."

Feng Sha buried her head in his arms, her face flushed and her eyes closed.

If she were to go to court now, her mind would be filled with thoughts of her husband, leaving no room for anything else.
As autumn deepens, ten days pass in the blink of an eye, yet the warmth within the palace is greater than ever before.

Su Cheng leaned leisurely against the pavilion, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in reality he was already fighting against the illusory figure in the training room.

Although they had enjoyed a period of blissful companionship, the grand ceremony of the Heavenly Army was imminent, and preparations should be made early.

Boom——!
In the cloud-sea realm, flames once again soared into the sky.

Su Cheng moved with lightning speed, dodging and weaving amidst the overwhelming attacks, his sword flashing as he fiercely clashed with the swarming phantom demons.

"hiss!"

Faced with the sudden appearance of several cold glints, he was startled, and even in his hasty dodge, his protective array was still broken.

In the blink of an eye, it plunged into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds like a shooting star.

The roars of beasts shook the heavens, and demonic shadows loomed. The figures of the Heavenly Mountain Ancestor and others moved among them, launching fierce attacks from time to time.

"."

At the far end of the battlefield, a crimson figure knelt quietly, his gaze always following Su Cheng's figure.

The seven-headed demonic dragon and the nine-curved python were coiled on either side, occasionally raising their heads to observe the battle.

With another loud bang, Su Cheng broke through the layers of fire and lightning, flying hundreds of feet backward on the waves of clouds before finally regaining his footing.

"Roar—!" A dragon's roar suddenly rang out in the sky, causing the illusory demons that were about to attack to stop in their tracks.

"call"

Su Cheng lowered his arms, which were emitting wisps of smoke, and gasped for breath, looking disheveled.

Exhaustion washed over him like a tidal wave, and he staggered and fell to his seat, his head sinking into two soft, warm mounds of fat.

"As expected, we were no match for the combined attack of several Spirit Profound Realm experts."

He turned his head with a sigh, and a soft, indistinct face came into view.

Chi Ying seemed to have a gentle smile on her face as she raised her fingers to gently massage his acupoints.

Though there were no words, the tender and affectionate gesture made him feel weak and muscular.

Before he could speak, low, panting breaths slowly approached from both sides.

Turning my head, I saw that the Nine-Bend Python and the Demon Dragon had also come closer, nuzzling each other with their heads as if they were being affectionate.

"You guys are so clingy too."

Su Cheng chuckled and casually patted their chins.

Unexpectedly, the demonic dragon quietly opened its mouth and carefully took his palm into its mouth, licking it lightly as if to please him.

"."

Su Cheng's smile suddenly turned strange.

Since receiving the gift of Lingling Dragon Blood, this demonic dragon not only saw a significant increase in its cultivation level, but its spirituality also became increasingly prominent.

Is this approach a bit too humane?
