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

The rewards this time are numerous and of various kinds, with two hundred Mystic Pills alone. In addition, there is a top-grade Earth-rank pill that has never appeared before—a sixth-grade Nirvana Pill.

This elixir has unique effects, enabling the Xuan body to undergo a nirvana transformation and forge a unique divine foundation.

"nice one!"

Compared to the Heavenly Illusion Divine Eye, Su Mu was even more excited when he saw this pill.

The two are vastly different in quality, but the sixth-grade Nirvana Pill perfectly suits his current cultivation needs, making it a rare and precious treasure.

He cultivates the "Imperial Supreme Body Technique," and forging a supreme body is the most important aspect of the technique's cultivation.

According to the rules of the cultivation method, cultivators must first condense a Profound Body before they are qualified to attempt to break through to the Overlord Body. Furthermore, under normal cultivation conditions, one must temper and transform True Fire into Profound Fire in order to use the power of Profound Fire to forge the Overlord Body.

Mystic Flame can only be nurtured by a Martial Emperor realm expert.

The Martial King condenses his Martial Soul, and the Martial Emperor forges his Martial Appearance. Martial Emperors use their Martial Appearance to communicate with heaven and earth, absorbing the pure energy of the natural fire element, in order to activate the True Fire and achieve profound transformation and sublimation.

If one does not reach the Martial Emperor realm, no matter how many different and powerful true fires one fuses with, one will not be able to refine the Profound Fire.

In other words, without external assistance, Su Mu must break through to the Martial Emperor realm to have a chance to forge a domineering physique.

The sixth-grade Nirvana Pill rewarded by the system would allow him to complete his transformation into a powerful body ahead of schedule, which was why he was so excited.

"I have already absorbed the original energy of the Thunderous Mystic Crystal, and my Xuan Body has a solid and resilient foundation, which is fully capable of withstanding the violent medicinal power of the Nirvana Pill."

"The forging of a supreme physique is inherently accompanied by the reshaping of the physical body!"

"Now, there's no need to wait for the primordial spirit to transform into a true spirit; the physical transformation can be completed immediately!"

Su Mu grew increasingly delighted as he thought about it.

According to his original cultivation plan, he needed to wait for the Imperial Sword Spirit to evolve into a top-tier True Spirit, and then use the power of the True Spirit to reshape his physical body in order to make up for his shortcomings. Now, a single pill can save him from the long wait.

"This time, gaining a godson is truly a huge win!"

Aside from the Celestial Illusionary Divine Eye and the Grade 6 Nirvana Pill, there are no other exceptionally precious treasures among the rewards this time.

While Su Mu was still immersed in the joy of breaking through to the Overlord Body, a commotion came from outside the palace. Xiao Yunshang was returning to the palace with gold.

Jinzi folded its wings and landed on the second-floor balcony, chirping softly towards Su Mu through the window.

Su Mu walked out of the room and onto the balcony. He gently stroked the golden head while feeding it the inner core of a demon beast.

After landing in the courtyard, Xiao Yunshang learned the good news of Wen Qianzhu giving birth from Xiao Anran, and then stepped into the library.

She had already calculated her delivery date, and her return was specifically for this purpose.

Su Mu observed carefully and found that Xiao Yunshang's face was pale, her blood and qi were weak, and she exuded a strong sense of fatigue and weakness.

After she went up to the second floor, Su Mu asked with suspicion, "You don't look well. You must have fought with someone before you left?"

"That's right."

Xiao Yunshang nodded frankly, her tone slightly weary: "On the way back, we were ambushed by two powerful members of the Witch Clan. To cover Jinzi's safe retreat, I had no choice but to stop and fight. Although I fought desperately and killed one of them, my own losses were also extremely severe."

"A powerful member of the Witch Clan?"

Su Mu frowned slightly, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart.

"They are not the witch tribe of this continent."

Xiao Yunshang added, "Both of them migrated from another dimension; one was a Martial King, and the other was an elderly Martial Emperor. I killed the Martial King on the spot."

"You managed to escape unscathed from the older generation of martial emperors and even kill one of them. Your strength is formidable and admirable."

Su Mu sincerely praised her, secretly marveling at how extraordinary this stunning beauty possessed an innate profound physique.

"That old Martial Emperor was suppressed by the laws of this world, making it difficult for his martial form to communicate with heaven and earth, and his ability to mobilize the power of nature was extremely sluggish. If it weren't for the constraints of heaven and earth, I would have had to pay a heavy price to escape."

Xiao Yunshang waved her hand gently, her tone humble: "The difference in realms is obvious, and challenging someone of a higher level is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even though I possess the Innate Profound Body, I am only a top-tier Martial King. Facing a Martial Emperor directly, I am still no match for him."

"Since the Witch Clan has an older generation of Martial Emperors who have crossed the black mist to reach this world, the Human Clan will surely also have Martial Emperor powerhouses descending."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"The witch race is different from the human race."

Xiao Yunshang's expression was solemn as she explained, "The witchcraft of the Wu Clan is strange and unpredictable, naturally restraining the Ghost Clan. Their survival rate when crossing the black mist is far higher than that of the human race."

"There must be Martial Emperor level experts among the human race who have broken through the black mist, but people's hearts are unpredictable and they may not share our stance."

As they were talking, Xiao Yunshang entered Wen Qianzhu's room to offer her congratulations.

She took out a white jade medicine bottle as a gift for the infant. The bottle contained pure spiritual milk, its spiritual energy gentle and pure, making it most suitable for the infant to consume directly, nourishing its foundation and enhancing its innate spirituality.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Miss Xiao."

Wen Qianzhu politely thanked her.

"It's just a bottle of spiritual milk, nothing special."

Xiao Yunshang smiled slightly and asked, "Has the child been named yet?"

"It has been chosen; the name is Su Song."

"Could it be that the child's biological father also has the surname Su?"

Xiao Yunshang looked surprised.

"Eunuch Su is the child's father."

Wen Qianzhu smiled gently and explained the truth.

"Um?"

Xiao Yunshang was suddenly stunned, her face full of astonishment.

"The child's biological father unfortunately perished at the hands of the Ghost Clan. I wanted to give the child a stable support, so I made Su Mu his father."

Wen Qianzhu explained the reason simply.

"I see."

Xiao Yunshang suddenly realized.

She had heard before that Su Mu liked to adopt sons and daughters, and even the divine bird Jinzi called him father. Only now did she understand that Su Mu was using this method to make up for his own shortcomings.

As the three were chatting, their expressions suddenly changed drastically.

A vast, violent, and terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped the entire palace, causing the air to freeze.

"It's that old Martial Emperor from the Witch Clan!"

Xiao Yunshang frowned, her heart sinking. She had never expected that the other party would dare to brazenly intrude into the heart of the human race's imperial city.

It should be noted that there are likely Martial Emperor level experts among the human race who could traverse the black mist; such an act would be far too arrogant.

Wen Qianzhu immediately got out of bed, carefully picked up the swaddled Su Song, and looked wary.

Xiao Yunshang flashed out of the library, leaped into the air, and flew to the palace.

Su Mu slowly walked to the second-floor balcony and looked up at the situation in the sky.

In mid-air, an elderly man from the Witch Clan, dressed in gray robes, stood suspended in mid-air. Upon seeing Xiao Yunshang appear, a cold, sinister smile curled at the corner of the old man's lips.

"Little girl, you killed my beloved disciple, thinking you can get away with this and let it all go?"

The Wu tribe of Tianyuan Continent resembles humans in appearance, with two arms and two legs, but they have sharp fangs protruding from their cheeks, short stature, large eye sockets, and small eyes.

The old man in the gray robe was similarly thin and emaciated, resembling a withered ape. Though seemingly frail, the aura emanating from him was domineering and powerful. His small eyes gleamed with an eerie light, and meeting their gaze sent chills down one's spine.

Not far behind the old man stood two young Wu Clan cultivators, their bodies wreathed in true fire, exuding a fierce aura and formidable strength.

One old Martial Emperor, and two Martial Kings.

Three powerful members of the Wu clan, without any scruples, brazenly barged into the heart of the Great Qian Imperial City.

On the second-floor balcony, Jinzi hissed continuously into the air, its body trembling slightly uncontrollably under the oppressive power of the Martial Emperor.

"Don't be afraid."

Su Mu raised his hand and gently patted Jinzi's head, soothing him softly.

"You were the ones who intruded into my Wu Clan's territory without cause and attacked first. I was simply defending myself. What wrong have I done?"

Xiao Yunshang stood in mid-air, facing off coldly against the three powerful members of the Witch Clan.

At this moment, her energy and condition were not yet fully recovered, and she had no chance of winning against three opponents.

With her strength, escaping would be effortless. But if she were to flee, the Xiao royal family, the entire imperial city, and even the millions of people within it would be slaughtered by the enraged Wu clan powerhouses.

Wen Qianzhu has just given birth to a child, so her combat power has dropped drastically. Even if she were at her peak, she would be no match for her and would be instantly killed.

As for Su Mu...
