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

Following the memories left by Moen, Su Mu easily activated the giant interstellar teleportation array. A layer of energy light curtain appeared out of thin air, covered with countless star points. Each star point corresponded to a fixed teleportation coordinate, and the vast majority of these coordinates landed on various life-bearing planets. Still guided by the memories inherited from Moen, Su Mu raised his finger and pointed to one of the star points on the light curtain. The moment his fingertip touched the surface, the light curtain slowly dissipated, the entire teleportation array trembled violently, the spatial runes on the platform flowed and shone, and a booming sound was deafening. In mid-air, a silver spatial vortex slowly formed, which was the entrance to the interstellar teleportation channel. Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu leaped into the silver vortex. The channel constructed by the large teleportation array was extremely stable, and he could pass through safely without having to use any additional protective treasures, which was completely different from the temporary channels opened by various spatial runes.

About twenty breaths later, Su Mu landed on his feet in a boundless desert. This was Wulong Star. Wulong Star had also been invaded by the black mist of the Ghost Clan. Chai Min and her group had been ordered to clear it out, and by now, the area affected by the black mist on the planet had shrunk considerably. Su Mu first entered the remaining black mist area to search, but failed to find any trace of any Horned Scale Clan experts. After casually killing the few Ghost Clan members wandering along the way, Su Mu quickly found the large local teleportation array on Wulong Star and activated it again to teleport away.

This cycle repeated itself endlessly—Su Mu used teleportation arrays to travel to one inhabited planet after another, searching tirelessly for traces of the Horned Scale Clan's powerful members. He was incredibly fast, searching an entire planet in no time, and he acted with extreme caution, always holding a top-grade divine-level defensive talisman in his palm. The moment he detected even the slightest hint of danger, he would immediately activate the talisman to protect himself, preventing being instantly and severely injured or killed by a top-tier enemy. In reality, ordinary celestial beings couldn't kill Su Mu with a single blow. Even if he was caught off guard by a sneak attack, his two supreme treasures—the Heavenly Silkworm Divine Silk Robe and the Great Dao Heavenly Heart Pearl—would fully protect his Dao body and Dharma form, at most causing him some superficial injuries.

To lure the enemy out and avoid alerting them to flee, Su Mu did not bring any powerful puppets with him. Heaven rewards the diligent. Two days after leaving Tianyuan Star, Su Mu arrived at a life-bearing planet called Lanying Star. Deep within the planet's black mist, he finally encountered the Horned Scale Clan. The other party was none other than the Celestial God Hornbutt, who had previously visited Tianyuan Star and met Su Mu once before. Hornbutt's soul realm far surpassed Su Mu's, and he was the first to detect his presence. Relying on his understanding of spatial laws, he immediately unleashed a spatial confinement technique. In an instant, the entire area of ​​black mist boiled and distorted, locking down a region of space. The spatial confinement personally activated by a Celestial God was even more powerful than a high-grade divine-level anti-space talisman. Within this sealed-off airspace, even with the purple-gold Dao fire burning around Su Mu, his body could hardly move an inch. In this critical moment, Su Mu immediately activated the top-grade protective talisman he had prepared in his palm.

The divine-grade protective talisman activated instantly, enveloping Su Mu's entire body in a thick layer of mysterious energy. Hornbutt's attack followed immediately, a sharp blade of light, crackling with heavenly fire, tearing through the boiling, distorted space and slashing down with immense spatial power. This deadly strike, capable of severely injuring an ordinary Great God, struck Su Mu's protective shield, merely creating a tiny ripple, failing to even budge the shield. The scene before him left Hornbutt dumbfounded and utterly shaken. His strike, unleashed with all his primal power, couldn't even break through a single layer of the opponent's protective barrier?

While Jiaobutz was still stunned, Su Mu had already summoned a top-grade divine-level Dao Fruit puppet with a thought. The moment the Dao Fruit puppet appeared, its boundless divine-king aura swept across the surroundings. Under the impact of this terrifying pressure, the space that had been violently distorted and boiling instantly calmed and stabilized, and all the binding forces dissipated. The next instant, the Dao Fruit puppet appeared almost teleported in front of Jiaobutz, its large hand reaching out to firmly grasp Jiaobutz's neck. The unparalleled strength bound him, making it impossible for Jiaobutz to break free. The entire world was sealed off by the puppet's aura, and Jiaobutz realized with horror that he was completely isolated from all the energy of the outside world, and his blood and original power within his body had stopped flowing, rendering him unable to move.

"A God-King level puppet?" "How is that possible!" "No—!!" Completely restrained, Hornbutz was unable to use any of his abilities. His eyes were filled with extreme fear, mixed with endless despair and a hint of regret. He had previously used his connections to investigate within the Star Palace and learned that Su Mu had only recently joined the Star Palace. His appointment as the resident Star Envoy of Tianyuan Star was not due to exclusion, but rather Su Mu's own voluntary application. He had also discovered that Su Mu had a grudge against the Three-Eyed Clan, which was a major reason why Su Mu was unwilling to stay on Taidou Star for long. The tragic deaths of Horn Rock and his group of Horned Scale Clan powerhouses in Tianyuan were rooted in the Three-Eyed Clan's machinations. Tuhalun tricked Horn Rock and the others into going to Tianyuan to wipe out the Ghost Clan and gain merit, ultimately leading to a deadly battle with Su Mu, resulting in the deaths of four True Gods and two Great Gods. Hornbutz had specifically visited Tuhalun to demand an explanation, but the latter denied everything and refused to take responsibility. Tuharen was a registered high god of the Star Palace, and the Three-Eyed Clan had a God-King backing them. Hornbutt dared not launch a direct attack and could only direct all his grudges at Su Mu. Only now did he realize that Su Mu also belonged to the Star Palace. He had previously learned that Su Mu only had one human god as his backer in the Star Palace, so the Horned Scale Clan had no reason to fear a single human god. But he never expected that Su Mu's true trump card was never that Star Palace god.

"This person not only possesses a top-grade divine defensive talisman, but also has a god-king level puppet by his side..." "I didn't lose unjustly." Hornbutt completely resigned himself to his fate, only hoping that the other strong members of his clan would not come to seek revenge on Su Mu. But he knew in his heart that if he perished outside, the Horned Scale Clan would sense the extinguishing of the Dao Intent Soul Lamp and the entire clan would be shaken, and they would never let it go.

Before his thoughts could settle, waves of domineering power invaded Hornbutt's body, shattering his Dharma form and Dao embryo, and causing his consciousness to completely dissipate. This Horned Scale Clan Celestial God had fallen, leaving behind only his complete Dao body, his natal Heavenly Flame, and several divine treasures, including a storage magic treasure. No other Horned Scale Clan powerhouses remained hidden on the entire Blue Star. Su Mu collected Hornbutt's Dao body and then inventoried the various relics he had left behind. The divine treasures were all of the upper-grade Divine level. Su Mu glanced at them briefly and stored them all in his system warehouse. He focused on examining the collection in Hornbutt's storage magic treasure. It contained a massive amount of divine stones, including many of the upper-grade ones; a large quantity of various pills, all of good quality, but none of them were core pills like the Netherflame Pill, which could greatly boost a breakthrough in cultivation; there were also various divine talismans, but unfortunately, Hornbutt hadn't had time to activate them due to the sudden attack. There were no top-value natural treasures in the storage bag. It wasn't that this celestial being was poor; it was just that when going out on missions, most powerful individuals wouldn't carry a large amount of high-level cultivation resources with them.

Among his storage treasures, only one item proved extremely useful to Su Mu at the moment: a completely black gourd. Su Mu dripped his blood to complete the binding process and then discovered its function: it could contain all kinds of flames in the world. The black gourd was of superior divine grade, unable to contain sacred fire, but capable of sealing all flames below the sacred fire, such as heavenly fire and Dao fire. Su Mu first manipulated the black gourd to collect the heavenly fire left behind by Jiao Butz, then stored the gourd in his system warehouse. Although his own purple-gold Dao fire was of a high grade, it was insufficient to directly devour and fuse with the heavenly fire of the celestial god's origin; the black gourd was perfect for its safekeeping.

A day later, Su Mu returned to Tianyuan Star. Upon entering the Imperial Palace of the Great Qian Dynasty, Su Mu released Xiao Yunshang, Chai Min, and the other disciples from the Time Mirror in the courtyard of the library. Only a little over three days had passed in the outside world during this trip. However, within the Mirror of a hundred times the speed, they had been in seclusion for nearly a year. Most of them were now at the True God level. A year of seclusion wasn't a long time, but it was enough for each of them to consume multiple Dao Integration Pills, steadily improving their soul foundation and understanding of the Great Dao, bringing them closer to condensing their Dao Soul. At the same time, they had never stopped consuming Divine Spring Pills to continuously replenish their divine power.

"Father!" Upon seeing Su Mu, Su Changsheng immediately opened his arms and ran towards him. In just three days, the child had grown considerably taller, looking nothing like a two-month-old infant, but rather like a three- or four-year-old. The lifespan within the Time Mirror flowed at the same rate as outside, but the rate of physical growth remained unaffected. Su Changsheng had spent nearly a year in the mirror, his physical growth equivalent to that of a year old. Coupled with his innate divine body and Xiao Yunshang's meticulous care and nurturing, his appearance naturally far surpassed that of an ordinary infant.

Su Mu bent down and picked up Su Changsheng, smiling as he asked, "Did you miss Daddy?" "I missed Daddy so much," Su Changsheng replied in a childish voice. "Daddy will take you and Brother Song to play in the heavens." Su Mu held Su Changsheng in one arm and Su Song in the other, then leaped onto the back of the golden bird. The golden bird spread its wings and soared into the sky. Su Song now looked like a five or six-year-old child, sturdy and strong, and still hadn't formally begun his cultivation. Wen Qianzhu believed there was no need to rush; the child's mind was still immature, and he should enjoy his childhood first. Seeing that Su Mu had a biological son but still didn't neglect Su Song, Wen Qianzhu felt a deep sense of relief. In the more than three hundred days in the mirror, Wen Qianzhu, apart from spending time with Su Song, never neglected her cultivation, and had now condensed her divine fire, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor realm.
