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

"My injuries have not fully recovered yet, so I will return to Yangxin Palace for seclusion and recuperation."

Xiao Yunshang got up from the bed, looked at Su Mu, and smiled gently: "You saved my life again, and even imprinted your understanding of the Great Dao on my Martial Aspect and helped me improve my soul. I should thank you properly."

"No need to thank me." Su Mu shook his head, seemingly calm, but his heart was already churning with turmoil.

After many twists and turns, he not only fully regained his true form, but also finally said goodbye to being single.

"You're welcome. Here's a reward for you."

Xiao Yunshang stepped forward gently, tiptoed, and lightly pecked Su Mu's lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.

The cool, soft touch was fleeting; she immediately turned around, pushed open the door, and quickly left.

Su Mu raised a hand to touch the corner of his lips, not having time to savor the moment, he immediately strode after them, calling out loudly, "Don't go yet, who exactly seriously injured you?"

Xiao Yunshang walked to the second-floor balcony, glanced at Jinzi who looked up at the sound and nuzzled affectionately, and slowly said, "In Huitai County in the south, I ran into two Martial Emperors from Xichuan Sword Pavilion. They wanted to recruit me into an alliance, but I refused on the spot."

"So they took action directly?" Su Mu's eyes turned slightly cold.

"That's right."

Xiao Yunshang nodded, her tone somewhat solemn: "They have long regarded you as a mortal enemy, and anyone who is on good terms with you has been categorized as their adversary."

"Those two Sword Pavilion Martial Emperors, one from the first year and one from the middle, might not be able to seriously injure you." Su Mu frowned slightly. "That mid-stage Martial Emperor was killed by me before, his Xuanling was greatly weakened, and he is not a threat."

"That was my initial thought too."

Xiao Yunshang frankly admitted, "They pretended to talk alone, and I didn't think much of it, so I had my guards leave first. I never expected that Elder Songhe of the Tianwu Sect was lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity to ambush us!"

"While I was fighting the two Martial Emperors of Sword Pavilion, Elder Songhe suddenly launched a sneak attack, severely injuring my Thunder Phoenix Martial Form with a domineering soul technique, and then followed up with more attacks, shattering my Profound Body and severely damaging my Profound Spirit!"

"Fortunately, I was prepared and held the Wind Escape Talisman tightly in my hand. I activated it with all my might in the critical moment, which allowed me to escape with my life."

In the early years of Empress Wu's reign, she was ambushed in the later years of Empress Wu's reign, and under normal circumstances, she would have had no chance of survival.

However, Xiao Yunshang was a newly recognized cultivator by the Heaven and Earth, and her martial appearance could condense a true domain, while Song He and the others did not receive the blessing of the heaven and earth, which is why she was able to withstand the fatal blow and escape successfully.

"For a veteran late-stage Martial Emperor of the prestigious Tianwu Sect to actually launch a sneak attack on a newly promoted Martial Emperor is utterly despicable, shameless, and utterly disgraceful!"

Wen Qianzhu happened to walk by and overheard the whole thing, and immediately spoke up angrily.

"The Xuan Gang Sect, the Xi Chuan Sword Pavilion, the Tian Wu Sect... all the top forces within the human race have banded together to be my enemy."

Su Mu snorted lightly, his eyes full of disdain: "You have been defeated by me time and time again, yet you still do not know how to repent. You are simply courting your own destruction."

"They have formed a complete alliance."

Xiao Yunshang said solemnly, "Once they have fully recovered from their injuries and returned to their peak, they will surely join forces to attack us. I also need to go into seclusion as soon as possible to recover and stabilize my cultivation."

After saying that, she leaped into the air and sped towards the Yangxin Palace, both to heal her injuries and to digest the Dao insights that Su Mu had imprinted on her martial image.

"With three Martial Emperors joining forces to attack, can we really stop them?" Wen Qianzhu turned to look at Su Mu, her face filled with worry.

"They're just a bunch of clowns, nothing to be afraid of."

Su Mu remained calm and confident, while taking out a large amount of demon beast inner cores and essence blood and carefully feeding them to Jin Zi.

Jinzi was nearing its breakthrough point, and to ensure its smooth advancement, Su Mu squeezed out a few drops of his own Overlord Body essence blood and fed them into Jinzi's mouth.

Su Mu was clear-headed and knew that the powerful enemy would not rashly attack in the short term.

Duan Jin was seriously injured, the mid-stage Martial Emperor Xuanling of the Sword Pavilion was shattered, and since none of them had been recognized by the Heavenly Origin World, the speed of healing and recovery was extremely slow.

However, he was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he wished that the other party would come to fight injured.

He had no intention of seeking revenge. The three major sects were extremely well hidden, and blindly searching for them would be a waste of time and could easily lead to falling into traps set in advance, thus increasing the risk.

Rather than running around everywhere, it's better to stay in the palace and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

Nourished by the essence of the Overlord's Blood, Jinzi quickly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep once again.

Its body was radiant with golden light and surrounded by mysterious Dao patterns. Based on past experience, it was certain that it would achieve a major breakthrough after this period of slumber.

Aside from gold, his adopted sons and daughters also possess immense potential and are worth looking forward to.

Ding Chao, at the peak of the early Martial Emperor era, and Chai Min, who was at a crucial stage of entering the Dao, were both steadily accumulating experience and striving for higher realms.

Even with the Qian Yuan Divine Cloud Pill in hand, Chai Min would still need a long time to accumulate experience and refine her skills before breaking through to the late stage of the Martial Empress realm.

Su Mu himself did not slack off.

The imperial aura surrounding him continuously cleansed his physical body and nourished his true spirit. His imperial true spirit had long been accumulated to perfection, meeting all the conditions for transformation and advancement to the Xuanling level.

Time flows quietly, and years pass silently.

Jinzi has been dormant for a long time, accumulating strength to break through to the seventh level of the Divine Bird realm. It will take some time for him to awaken.

Xiao Yunshang secluded herself in the Yangxin Palace to heal her injuries, and her cultivation steadily recovered while her spirit continued to improve.

On May 15th, Chai Min successfully emerged from the Daoist state, her soul realm surged dramatically, and she calmed her mind and focused all her efforts on breaking through the late-stage bottleneck of the Martial Empress realm.

On the same day, Su Mu accumulated enough imperial aura and officially began his closed-door breakthrough.

Before going into seclusion, he deployed a low-grade Heavenly Rank Qianjin puppet to guard the second floor of the library, protecting the sleeping gold and preventing a surprise attack from powerful enemies.

Now, the palace is filled with powerful figures. Four Martial Emperors, Xiao Yunshang, Chai Min, Chang Wei, and Ding Chao, are in charge, and all of them have been recognized by Tianyuan Heaven and Earth. They hold domain advantages, and with the Qianjin Puppet protecting them, the palace is safe and secure, allowing him to go into seclusion in peace.

Inside the quiet room on the second floor of the library, Su Mu sat cross-legged on the bed, calming his mind and regulating his breathing to stabilize his state. When his body and mind reached their peak, he took out a Profound Spirit Creation Pill and swallowed it.

Ordinary cultivators take the Profound Spirit Creation Pill only to refine their Profound Spirit and complete their transformation.

However, Su Mu's Imperial True Spirit far surpasses the profound spiritual foundation of ordinary cultivators, possessing an extremely profound foundation sufficient to withstand the full medicinal power of the pill.

With the help of the medicinal power of the pills and the support of the top-level cultivation technique "Imperial Supreme Body Technique", his Imperial True Spirit began to slowly transform into a stronger Imperial Profound Spirit.

The transformation of a true spirit into a mysterious spirit is far more complicated and slow than the transformation of a primordial spirit into a true spirit.

For two whole days, Su Mu remained seated and focused on refining the essence.

With the full nourishment of the four Mystic Creation Pills, the transformation finally came to a perfect end.

A majestic and sacred Imperial Spirit, with an aura of majesty and nobility, was firmly seated in the Sea of ​​Qi.

Compared to the previous Imperial True Spirit, the newly born Imperial Profound Spirit has not changed much in appearance, but it is more solid, transparent and lifelike, just like a real person.

Xuanling Tongxuan comprehended the Dao, and his skill level, the power of his moves, and his intelligence became increasingly clear and profound.

Su Mu emerged from seclusion, having successfully completed his mission, and raised his hand to put away the Qianjin Puppet.

Jinzi was still fast asleep, but the golden light around him had dimmed and thinned, clearly indicating that he was about to awaken and break through.

Su Mu slowly descended the stairs, stretching his limbs in the courtyard, carefully adapting to the all-round transformation in strength brought about by the Imperial Dao Profound Spirit.

Not long after, a graceful figure swept into the courtyard.

Xiao Yunshang has fully recovered, and her Xuan Body, Xuan Spirit, and Thunder Phoenix Martial Aspect have all returned to their peak state. Her Divine Soul Realm has also improved significantly compared to before.
