One person established a clan

Chapter 375 Embracing
"Alright, since you've agreed to this, release us all."

Su Cheng released his hand, looked at her blurry face, and smiled slightly: "The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed."

"."

However, the Way of Heaven remained silent.

Su Cheng's smile froze on his face: "What does this mean?"

“I have already stated that I have no physical body and cannot interfere with the outside world. This dual realm was forged by the power of the Calamity Emperor.”

The voice of Heaven was completely calm: "I am powerless to help you. Your escape depends on your own abilities."

Su Cheng's eyes twitched slightly. He had almost forgotten about that.

"Trouble"

He looked around and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

If it were an ordinary array or restriction, he could forcefully devour and break it, but the Heavenly Dao had just directly created two new realms.
This is completely different from ordinary secret realms.

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of breaking it by brute force, it is difficult to predict what kind of changes it would cause.

Unless, Aunt Jing has a solution, or...
Su Cheng's mind raced, his gaze sweeping over the Calamity Emperor in his arms before turning to the Heavenly Dao.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally shook his head.

Although I know that my mother has a connection with this heavenly artifact, it would be too risky to hand over my physical body to her control again.

"how about you?"

Su Cheng changed the subject and asked in return, "Are you able to leave this place?"

The Heavenly Dao said indifferently, "If it were an ordinary realm, it would naturally be unable to stop me. However, this realm was forged by the power of the Tribulation Emperor, and it will take some time for me to escape."

Su Cheng smiled helplessly: "Wouldn't you say you've brought this upon yourself?"

"This amount of time is but a fleeting moment to me, so it's no problem."

The Heavenly Dao gradually dissipated, transforming once more into a wisp of misty clouds.

Seeing that she was also temporarily trapped, Su Cheng had no choice but to find another way.

I advise you to give up.

The Heavenly Dao drifted closer like wisps of smoke, its voice clear and cold: "When I left the body of the Calamity Emperor, I already sensed that Duanmu Jing and the others were working on the method to break through the boundary."

Instead of wasting your energy here, you should immediately calm your mind and cultivate yourself to make progress.

Su Cheng snapped out of his reverie and smiled: "So you're urging me to cultivate now?"

"I will only give you ten years."

The Heavenly Dao drew closer: "If you cannot advance to the Void Profound Realm, this cooperation will be null and void. I will keep a close watch on you and will not allow you to slack off in the slightest."

Su Cheng chuckled, but did not dwell on it any further.

Since Aunt Jing and the others were already busy, he stopped worrying about it and turned to look at the cloud in front of him.

"As the Heavenly Dao of the Five Desolate Domains, you have existed for tens of millions of years, so you must be extremely knowledgeable."

Su Cheng asked with great interest, "Do you have any extraordinary martial arts techniques or profound skills that you can impart to me?"

“I am merely a follower of the ‘Way of Heaven,’ not a cultivator. I cannot provide the cultivation techniques and mystical arts you require.”

"That's a pity."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao continued, "But since you possess the ability of 'devouring,' you can choose to absorb what remains within the body of the Tribulation Emperor."

"This is my mother's remains."

He couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "How could I possibly touch her cultivation?"

The Heavenly Dao paused for a moment: "Human emotions are still so complicated; I ultimately cannot understand them."

"If you had learned more, the Five Desolate Domains might not have ended up in this state."

Su Cheng calmed down and lowered his head to look at the Calamity Emperor in his arms again.

While negotiating with the Heavenly Dao, I hadn't paid much attention to this body. Now, as I gaze upon it intently, though it's the first time I've seen my mother's face, it exudes an indescribable sense of warmth.
He gently placed his hand on that fair wrist to examine her internal condition, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

Apart from that extremely terrifying aura, his flesh, bones and muscles were completely dormant and lifeless.

"The realm of divine emptiness lies in refining the spirit into emptiness."

The Heavenly Dao floated to his shoulder, its voice calm: "The Tribulation Emperor's divine soul is no longer in his body; this is ultimately just a lifeless shell with no substance."

Su Cheng said in a low voice, "You should know where my mother's soul is located?"

“It is the girl who accompanied Duanmu Jing.” The Heavenly Dao explained calmly, “Twenty years ago, she abandoned this broken and dying body and, with Duanmu Jing’s assistance, ‘reincarnated and began to cultivate again.’ This was to shed her identity as the Calamity Emperor and to nourish her soul and heal her old wounds. It wasn’t until half a year ago that she was truly reborn.”

"."

After hearing this, Su Cheng slowly let out a long breath.

Although he had previously made a guess, now that the Heavenly Dao has confirmed it, he is finally completely certain.

Eleventh Sister is indeed her mother's reincarnation.

"Since your mother and you have such a deep connection, when she was besieged, you..."

"She is too arrogant."

The Heavenly Dao calmly said, "Even though I warned her in the darkness, she still went her own way and insisted on giving birth to your offspring."

When the five races and the Dark Realm joined forces to besiege her, she had nowhere left to retreat and finally met her destined death.

Su Cheng sighed deeply.

If it weren't for my mother's insistence, I probably wouldn't have been born.

"You are indeed very strange."

Just then, the Heavenly Dao almost came close to him and whispered, "Now that you look closely, you clearly haven't started cultivating, but your cultivation level is slowly increasing."

"It's just that the cultivation method is a bit special."

Su Cheng leaned back slightly, his lips trembling slightly. "You don't need to stand so close to me when you're talking. Your clouds are practically enveloping my head."

"I'm only doing this to better observe you."

The Heavenly Dao not only didn't retreat, but it practically pressed itself against their face. "Strange, your aura is extremely mixed, yet it's also perfectly balanced."

[Detected 'Spirit of the Five Desolate Heavenly Dao'] [Insufficient Immortal Sect Level to Absorb and Refine at this Time]

[Blessed by the Heavenly Dao, the Alliance function is unlocked]

[Have you formed an alliance with the spirits of the Five Desolate Heavens, agreeing not to invade or harm each other?]

Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, his mind raced, and he made a decision in an instant.

Immediately, he felt a wisp of his own aura separate and quietly disappear into the clouds in front of him.

At the same time, a strange aura emanated from the clouds and mist, flowing into the mind and soul.
The alliance is now in place.

[Allies: Spirits of the Five Desolate Heavenly Paths] [Can transmit sound] [Can increase favorability] [Can be fused and borrowed].
Looking at the densely packed options displayed on the screen before him, Su Cheng couldn't help but feel astonished.

Unexpectedly, there were so many 'strange and unusual' branching options to choose from after forming an alliance.

"Ok?"

The Heavenly Dao also seemed to sense something.

"what have you done?"

"It was just a backup plan."

Su Cheng smiled calmly: "In this way, we won't need to be suspicious of each other anymore."

The Heavenly Dao remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I cannot comprehend your methods; this is far beyond the capabilities of the Five Desolate Domains."

Click!

Just then, the sound of the void shattering suddenly rang out!
Su Cheng was startled and turned around abruptly.

A dark crack suddenly exploded open, and a disheveled figure shot out from it, crashing straight towards him!
His expression changed slightly, and he quickly reached out to embrace her.

"Hmm."

Her petite figure bumped into my arms with a thud, making me dizzy. She raised her delicate, youthful face with a slightly bewildered expression.

"Little Su?"

"Ayane?"

Su Cheng was slightly surprised, and his gaze immediately fell on the dark crack that was rapidly healing not far away.

In the blink of an eye, the crack had completely disappeared.

"What's happening here?"

"It was Miss Duanmu who temporarily tore open a rift, allowing me to come and protect you, Xiao Su. Eh?"

Bai Lingling's urgent words came to an abrupt halt. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the figure of the Calamity Emperor nestled in Su Cheng's arms, and she immediately froze in shock.

When did Xiao Su start embracing even the heartless and emotionless Heavenly Dao?
