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

Tonight, Xiao Yunshang deliberately stabilized her aura, merging it with Su Mu's cultivation. A brand new little life quietly took root and began to grow in her womb. Her understanding of the Dao of Thunder had already reached its peak. Even without condensing a divine form, she was able to directly imprint divine patterns on her physical body, propelling her innate Xuan Thunder Body towards a complete divine body.

Soon, with the aid of the Qianxu Divine Soul Pill, she will be able to break through to the Divine Aspect stage without any bottlenecks. Su Mu will continue to engage in dual soul cultivation with her. Now that he already possesses a complete Imperial Divine Aspect, the effect of dual cultivation will be far stronger than before.

Time flies by, August has come to a complete end, and the autumn wind sweeps across the entire continent, bringing a chill.

The black mist from beyond the realm continues to expand and erode the continent's territory. The Wanjiang Yusu in the southern border, the Cangmang Mountains in the western region, and the barbaric wastelands in the northern border have all been completely swallowed up by the thick black mist. The living space of the native creatures of Tianyuan Star is being continuously compressed, and the situation is becoming increasingly critical.

On September 3rd, Xiao Yunshang swallowed two Qian Yuan Shen Xia Pills, successfully transforming her Xuanling into a divine embryo, and stabilizing her cultivation at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm.

Su Mu had also fully adapted to the all-round combat power enhancement brought about by the transformation of the Divine Phase, but he deliberately suppressed the noise and did not take the initiative to contact Song Qingmei and Tulaer.

On September 5th, martial arts aura surged above Yangxin Palace. Chai Min released his towering willow tree martial form in front of everyone. With the help of Qianxu Divine Soul Pill, he officially started the transformation of his divine form and broke through to the early stage of Martial Emperor!

Su Mu had been waiting for this moment.

When Chai Min left Wulong Star, she was already in the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor realm. After becoming Su Mu's disciple, she continuously acquired high-grade pills and cultivation resources, and within six months, she successfully cultivated her Divine Embryo, stepping into the late-stage of the Martial Emperor realm. Along the way, she consumed three Enlightenment Pills and countless other high-grade profound pills, and her soul foundation and comprehension of the Great Dao all met the requirements, fully possessing all the conditions to condense a Divine Form.

The next moment, the world changed color, and the vast and boundless power of nature converged from all directions, enveloping the space above the Yangxin Palace. The violent power of the heavenly tribulation washed over the willow tree's martial image, tempering its foundation while simultaneously conducting a trial of heaven and earth.

This extraordinary phenomenon, which shook the entire imperial city, instantly attracted the attention of all the powerful figures in the city.

"It's the Martial Phase of Chai Min, the Second Elder of Yunxiang Valley! She's actually about to break through to Martial Emperor and condense her Divine Phase!"

"Having a top-tier godfather makes the path of cultivation smooth sailing, something that others envy."

"I regret not becoming a disciple of the retired emperor earlier; otherwise, I could have reached the threshold of becoming a divine physiognomist by now."

"It's not too late. We've also received a massive amount of resources from the Emperor Emeritus, so we can still steadily make breakthroughs in the future!"

Discussions rose and fell, spreading throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial city.

Inside a private room at the Imperial City Restaurant, Tulaer and Song Qingmei once again stood by the window, gazing at the strange celestial phenomenon above the Imperial Palace, their expressions differing.

The two had already found out that Su Mu liked to take in many adopted sons and daughters and had countless disciples under his command. This matter puzzled the two, who came from a powerful force in the Star Sea, and they couldn't figure out the reason at all.

"His delay in responding to our invitation to wipe out the Ghost Clan is probably because he intends to personally protect this female protector and ensure her safe completion of her divine transformation," Song Qingmei slowly said, offering her speculation.

Tula scoffed, disagreeing: "Apart from the two of us and the strange race within the black mist, no powerful enemy on Tianyuan Star dares to break into the palace and interrupt the breakthrough. Why would he need to personally protect the Dharma? It's unnecessary."

Song Qingmei remained silent for a moment, offering no rebuttal.

"I still can't understand what he did." Tula'er looked puzzled, his eyes filled with disdain. "He spent a huge amount of rare cultivation resources to raise a large number of adopted sons and daughters. Even if he raised a group of Martial Emperors, they could only dominate this barbaric planet. In the vast sea of ​​stars, or even in the Langya Star System, they are not worth mentioning at all."

"Perhaps he has never seen the vastness of the starry sea, and his vision is limited to Tianyuan Star. He only wants to unify the local forces," Song Qingmei pondered.

"Shortsighted," Tular said with disdain. "Even if you don't use these high-level resources yourself, you can save them and exchange them for the treasures you need when you leave Tianyuan Star. Wasting them on others will only bring you a little bit of empty gratitude, but you won't get any real benefits."

"His cultivation was previously limited, and he had no ability to leave Tianyuan Star at all, so how could there be any talk of resource trading?" Song Qingmei retorted.

"Then we should reserve resources in advance and plan for the future," Tular remained stubbornly convinced of his point.

Song Qingmei stopped arguing.

She didn't believe that Su Mu, who had risen to power against all odds, would be short-sighted. His extensive cultivation of adopted sons and daughters was not just a simple hobby; there must be a hidden purpose behind it, which she just couldn't figure out for the time being.

The entire breakthrough was smooth and uneventful, lasting from dawn until noon. The heavenly tribulation slowly dissipated, and Chai Min's Willow Tree Martial Aspect steadily transformed into a Divine Aspect, successfully stepping into the early stage of the Martial Emperor Realm.

The moment the breakthrough was completed, the system's cold notification sounded in Su Mu's mind.

[Congratulations to my sworn sister, Chai Min, on successfully breaking through to the early stage of the Martial Emperor realm and completing the great leap from Martial Phase to Divine Phase. The system reward has been stored in the warehouse; please check it yourself.]

With a thought, Su Mu directly opened the system warehouse to view the reward details.

Previously, when Chai Min broke through to the late stage of the Martial Realm, the system rewarded her with a low-grade anti-flight talisman. Su Mu originally thought that this major breakthrough would at most reward him with a few low-grade divine treasures, but after seeing the reward contents, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This reward even includes a mid-grade divine treasure!

A golden golem.

The Star Sea's universal combat power classification is extremely strict: a low-grade god-level puppet's combat power is equivalent to a true god-level expert, while a mid-grade god-level puppet is directly equivalent to a great god-level expert.

The difference between each minor realm in the True God Realm is already enormous, and the gap between realms within the Great God Realm is even more vast. The birth of a Dao Soul marks the early stage of a Great God, the transformation of a Divine Body into a Dao Body marks the middle stage of a Great God, and the evolution of a Divine Spirit into a Dao Embryo marks the late stage of a Great God.

This golden golem's body is comparable to a complete Dao body, and it comes with its own unique rare Dao embryo. Its combat power far exceeds that of ordinary mid-stage Great Gods. Even if it is not as good as a top-tier late-stage Great God, it is almost the same.

This puppet is enough to be Su Mu's trump card.

Besides the Divine Golden Puppet, there are two other low-grade divine-level rewards: the divine-level attack skill "Sunfall Slash," which can be used with either a sword or a dagger and is compatible with all melee attack divine treasures; and five Source Spirit Awakening Divine Pills.

The Source Spirit Awakening Pill is a core divine pill that helps a divine embryo transform into a god. Its main ingredients are extremely rare, and even top forces like the Three-Eyed Clan and the Star Palace find it difficult to refine in large quantities, making it extremely precious.

In addition, there are a large number of top-tier Heaven-rank replenishment pills and treasures: Heaven-rank Supreme Grade Dragon Essence Pill, Heaven-rank High Grade Qianling Divine Fire Pill, Grade Nine Nirvana Pill, and Heaven-rank Supreme Grade Clone Talisman Treasure.

The Heavenly Rank Top-Grade Clone Talisman Treasure far surpasses all of Su Mu's previous clone trump cards. Its only drawback is that it cannot replicate Su Mu's Dark Gold Dao Fire, thus it cannot possess the full combat power of the original body, but it is still an extremely powerful life-saving trump card.

Su Mu made up his mind: "First, I will take the Source Spirit Awakening Pill to temper my divine embryo and cultivate into a royal god, completely making up for my shortcomings in cultivation, and then I will set off into the black mist to wipe out the ghost race."
