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

When the words "breakthrough to the Holy Realm" reached his ears, the hesitation in the Palace Master's eyes completely vanished, replaced by intense greed and chilling killing intent.

On the path of cultivation, breaking through realms and advancing in the Great Dao are the greatest obsessions of cultivators. Faced with the ultimate opportunity for the Great Dao, so-called camaraderie among fellow disciples and sect rules can all be cast aside.

However, the problem remained. The Palace Master frowned and hesitated before speaking: "Xiao Xuance and I are both registered members of the Star Palace, having sworn an oath as fellow disciples. We are bound by the rules of Heaven. If we act rashly, we will surely suffer the backlash of our oath."

The Three-Eyed God-King smiled faintly, confident: "This is simple. You and I will swear an oath in public and voluntarily withdraw from the Star Palace."

"According to the rules of the Star Palace, members can voluntarily swear an oath to leave. If they are approved by the Heavenly Dao, they can leave unscathed and free from all constraints. However, once they leave, they will never be qualified to re-enter the Star Palace in this lifetime."

The palace master was greatly shocked and hesitated.

He poured half his life's blood and sweat into the Star Palace, gradually building it to its current size. Now, having to sever ties and leave on his own initiative, he inevitably feels immense reluctance and difficulty in letting go.

Seeing this, the Three-Eyed God-King once again tried to brainwash and persuade: "The Star Palace is now filled with factions and its people are in disarray. It is no longer the pure sect it once was. After we slaughter all the human forces and cleanse the internal strife, we can completely rebuild the sect and create a brand new Star Palace that belongs entirely to you and is under your complete control!"

"At that time, you will be the founding patriarch, wielding supreme power and renowned throughout the heavens, instead of being subject to others and merely possessing an empty reputation as you are now!"

These words strike right at the heart and are incredibly tempting.

Under the repeated seduction of the Three-Eyed God King, the Palace Master was completely swayed, and all her obsession and reluctance vanished.

After only two breaths of hesitation, he raised his hand and swore an oath to the heavens, publicly declaring his departure from the Star Palace, severing all ties with his fellow disciples, and gaining the approval of the Heavenly Dao.

After the oath was sworn, the Palace Master looked up at the Three-Eyed Clan God King, only to see the other party smile calmly: "No need to be surprised. Long before I came here, I had already sworn to leave the Star Palace."

At this moment, he fully understood that the Three-Eyed God-King had been planning this for a long time and had calculated every step of the way. This turmoil was by no means a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The plan has been finalized, and the Three-Eyed Clan God-King has already secretly mobilized the clan's elite warriors to lie in wait, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Despite his deliberate secrecy and low-key planning, Tuzameng, a member of the same tribe, still sensed the unusual atmosphere and undercurrents within the tribe, which made him extremely uneasy.

The situation was urgent. Tuzhameng immediately found Song Pingchao and warned in a deep voice: "Our clan's God-King has been making frequent unusual moves recently, secretly mobilizing troops. He probably already harbors malicious intentions and is very likely to take action against human cultivators!"

Upon hearing this, Song Pingchao was startled, his expression turning serious as he began to discern the truth from falsehood and ponder the matter carefully.

Tuzameng spoke again, his tone full of worry: "The situation is still far from certain, but the atmosphere within the Star Palace is strange, and a storm is brewing. My biggest fear is that they will target Tianyuan Star!"

Tianyuan Star is Su Mu's base of operations and the last trump card for all human cultivators!

If the Three-Eyed Clan were to take advantage of Su Mu's absence from his homeland while he was away in the secret realm, and launch a ruthless attack on Tianyuan Star, destroying his foundation and harming his relatives and friends, it would be an unbearable blow to Su Mu.

This matter concerns Xiao Yunshang and her unborn child, both of whom are Su Mu's closest relatives. There is no room for complacency or delay. Song Pingchao could not wait to fully verify the truth. After a brief moment of thought, his expression suddenly turned solemn, and he decisively declared in a deep voice, "Let's go! We must return to Tianyuan Star immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Pingchao no longer hesitated. He quietly left Taidou Star with Tuzhameng and sped towards Tianyuan Star at full speed.

During their journey, Song Pingchao activated a communication array to send messages to Su Mu, who was in the secret realm, and Xiao Yunshang, who was staying behind on Tianyuan Star, informing her of all the unusual events and hidden dangers in the Star Palace without missing a single word.

On Tianyuan Star, Xiao Yunshang received the message immediately and was instantly alerted. She mobilized all the defensive formations left behind by Su Mu and activated the God King puppets left behind to guard the entire territory, setting up layers of defenses and standing ready for battle. Even if the Three-Eyed Clan launched a large-scale attack and her combat power was insufficient, she could rely on the formations and puppets to hold out for a long time, delaying the battle and waiting for reinforcements.

Meanwhile, Su Mu, who was far away in the secret immortal palace, instantly lost all warmth in his gentle eyes upon receiving the message, turning them into a chilling and icy gaze.

"It's time for a new leader to take charge of the Three-Eyed Clan."

Now that his cultivation has skyrocketed and his foundation has undergone a transformation, there's no longer any need for him to hide and bide his time. All the forbearance of the past, all the old scores, now is the time to settle accounts and collect them all!

Tai Dou Star, the main base of the Star Palace.

Shortly after Tuzameng and Song Pingchao quietly left, the Three-Eyed Clan members on duty noticed Tuzameng's disappearance and immediately reported it to the Three-Eyed Clan God King.

Upon learning the news, the Palace Master and the Three-Eyed Clan God King reacted very differently.

The Three-Eyed God-King remained calm, sticking to the original plan. He believed that the most urgent task was to clean up the Star Palace and deal with Xiao Xuance and the human forces, without creating any unnecessary complications.

However, the Palace Master was filled with apprehension and unease. The human god-king and the remaining human forces of the Star Palace were not to be feared. What truly made him fear from the bottom of his heart was the unfathomable Su Mu.

After a brief disagreement, the two sides reached a compromise.

They struck first, completely wiping out Xiao Xuance and all human forces within the Star Palace, eradicating internal threats. After the war, the Palace Master remained to oversee Tai Dou Star, cleaning up the mess and rebuilding the Star Palace's fighting strength; the Three-Eyed Clan God King personally led his clan's elite troops to Tian Yuan Star to capture all of Su Mu's close relatives and family members.

Although the Palace Master was somewhat unwilling, he knew that this was the best solution at the moment.

If they were to rush to Tianyuan Star to capture the hostages first, the round trip would take too long. By the time they returned to Taidou Star, Yu Sheng and his group would likely have already returned from the secret realm. At that time, with a human saint in charge, any attempt to eliminate human forces and control the Star Palace would be extremely difficult and fraught with obstacles.

After weighing the pros and cons, the two men did not hesitate any longer and immediately began to mobilize manpower and deploy combat forces, waiting for the right time to start the war.

Meanwhile, on the journey to Tianyuan Star, Song Pingchao harbored a myriad of doubts. After much deliberation, he finally couldn't contain himself and turned to Tuzhameng beside him, asking, "Tuzhameng, why did you stop me from sending a message to the Human God King Xiao Xuance just now?"

His heart was with Su Mu, but he was ultimately of the Star Palace race and still had some affection for his own kind. In his view, sending a message in advance would allow the human race to take precautions and reduce unnecessary casualties and sacrifices.

As Tuzameng sped along, he glanced coldly at Song Pingchao, his tone solemn: "You feel sorry for the Star Palace Clan, but don't I feel sorry for my Three-Eyed Clan?"

Song Pingchao was speechless for a moment, unable to refute, and could only look at him quietly with a heart full of doubt.

Tuza sighed softly, his tone softening slightly, tinged with a mixture of helplessness and understanding: "In chaotic times, there is gain only through sacrifice. Remember, compared to the survival of the Star Palace Humans and the Three-Eyed Clan, if something happens to Tianyuan Star and your godfather's relatives and friends are harmed, given his boundless rage, no one in the entire Star Palace will survive!"

Song Pingchao was shocked and instantly understood.

Since Su Mu appeared in the secret realm with the Apocalypse Puppet, everyone who witnessed it was convinced that Su Mu must have a top-tier big shot backing him up.

Tuzhameng saw things much deeper and further than the others.

Su Mu casually scatters money and bestows top-tier resources, and readily gathers adopted sons and daughters of Saint Realm experts. Such generosity is beyond the reach of ordinary Saint Realm experts.

This is enough to prove that Su Mu must have an unparalleled powerhouse far beyond the Saint Realm standing behind him, who dotes on and indulges Su Mu to the extreme, which is why he has such heaven-defying foundation and confidence.

Therefore, Tuzhameng had already made his choice in this turmoil.
