The Second Empire, Yuzhou.
In a valley.
This place was surrounded by three mountains, but there was a spring and flat land in the valley, which could be cultivated into thousands of acres of fertile land.
As long as a barrier was built at the entrance of the valley, it would be able to hold out against ten thousand enemies. Although it would not be able to deal with the cultivators, it would be easy to deal with the refugees and the rebels.
At this moment, in the valley that was named 'Su Clan's Valley', houses rose up from the ground. The members of the Su Clan had collectively moved out from the Wuji Pearl, and they had also recruited some refugees to come over to cultivate the land, causing the small valley to have a peaceful and joyful feeling of paradise in this chaotic world.
"Now that the war between the East and the West has ended, the Second Empire may have internal strife again. You should be able to defend yourself here, which is more than enough."
Chung Shen-soo called Su Tang and Su Wei over. After some thought, he handed the box containing Mormond to them. "This metal box hides a spirit beast that is comparable to a Primal Core cultivator. From now on, it will be the guardian beast of the Su family. With the protection of this beast, as long as you guard yourselves, you will not have to worry."
In this way, his relationship with the Su Family could be considered to have truly come to an end.
"Thank you, cousin."
Su Tang and Su Wei accepted it, feeling a little uneasy.
However, they found that the current "Su Daozhi" was becoming more and more unfathomable. He did not show his emotions, but they could not say much.
"Do you know why I did not choose the other states, nor did I go to the capital of Chang Luo to find another base for the Su family?"
Chung Shen-soo asked casually.
"Perhaps because Chang Luo is the most troublesome place in the world?"
Su Wei answered hesitantly.
"Exactly … in this war between the East and the West, the capital of the West was destroyed, and all the people died. It can be said that when the city gate is on fire, the fish in the moat are caught in the crossfire. You must take this as a warning."
Chung Shen-soo reminded them a few more times before waving his hand and dismissing them.
Immediately, he began to look at the few cursed items on the table in front of him.
Most of them were his gains, and the other half were from Perfected Lord Taiping Guang Miao.
The one with the highest grade was probably the big black umbrella.
Chung Shen-soo stretched out his hand and gently stroked the surface of the umbrella, which was as deep as darkness.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly turned pitch-black, and the entire world seemed to turn black and white.
All sorts of terrifying auras were emitted from his body.
"I haven't even undone the seal, but there's already such a phenomenon just by touching it?"
Chung Shen-soo thought for a while. "This umbrella might be comparable to a Dharmakaya or even an Undead Immortal …"
As for its main function, he had experienced it before.
The first was to open the umbrella's surface and transform it into a layer of darkness to protect the body, giving off a feeling of being impervious to all magic.
As for the tip of the umbrella, it could destroy everything. The prerequisite was that it had to hit its target.
The negative effects were also quite scary.
If Janason hadn't been cursed by it that day and his spiritual senses had been lowered, he wouldn't have been ambushed and killed so easily.
"Although this item has a high grade, it's not very useful to me. I have the Nine Heavenly Light for defense. As for offense, it's useless if it doesn't hit the enemy. The restrictions are too great …
"And the negative effects after using it are too scary. It's better to send it to the alternate world and let my incarnation go through the tribulation …
"Eh? No … my incarnation is already going through the third tribulation, and my main body is showing signs of the fourth tribulation. There's no tribulation … "
Chung Shen-soo silently used the Primordial Eight Trigrams and began to calculate.
Escaping from Carreston this time was not considered a tribulation.
If it was a real tribulation, the master of the sect would definitely notice him, and he would definitely die.
Chung Shen-soo could escape, but it meant that the master of the sect did not notice him, or deliberately let him go. He had his own chance of survival, so it was not a tribulation.
"So … this war in the West seems dangerous, but in fact, I haven't really encountered a life-and-death crisis … Even if I'm hunted by that Ruler, I won't really die … So it's not a tribulation?"
"Then what's with the signs of my main body going through the tribulation?"
"Could it be that the tribulation is not in the West, but in the East?"
Chung Shen-soo kept calculating with his fingers, but his brows were knitted tighter and tighter.
…
Outside the valley of the Su family.
A line of carriages descended from the sky. The guards were at least Divine Powers cultivators, and they surrounded a magic treasure spirit carriage.
The carriage was carried by eight dragon horses, and its surface was covered in spirit patterns. At the top was the royal dragon flag, which meant that the owner was a prince.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, the Su family has arrived."
Next to the carriage, a eunuch whispered.
"Go ahead and scout the way. Remember to be respectful."
The Fourth Prince's jade-like voice came from the carriage.
His expression was calm, but his slightly trembling hands, which were hidden in his sleeves, represented his restless thoughts.
"I didn't expect … Childe Shen-soo to be Su Daozhi!"
The Su family had moved there, and with the royal family's control over the Jade Province, it was easy for them to learn a lot of news.
And Chung Shen-soo no longer hid anything.
After all, his enemies were either dead or crippled.
Even the Perfected Lord of Qingwei Dao, Zhang Guiji, was said to have escaped back to the Taishang Longhu Sect with serious injuries. Then, he announced that he would close the sect and ignore the outside world.
"How is this possible … But the priest said that this Su Daozhi might be the reincarnation of a Grand Cultivator …"
"In the case of the Eldest Prince's rebellion, the Su family was just a minor character. They were implicated to the point of almost being wiped out … If this mighty person had recovered his memory, nothing would have happened."
"Now that the royal family is in a precarious situation, we have to fight for every bit of power."
The Fourth Prince thought silently.
The current Su Daozhi was undoubtedly in high demand.
The peak of the Primordial Soul Stage was comparable to half a Dharmakaya.
He would definitely be a Dharmakaya Perfected Lord in the future!
In fact, even an Undead Immortal might have a glimmer of hope!
And the royal family hadn't had an Undead Immortal for a long time.
As a mere prince, he naturally couldn't resist the elimination of his roots and had a cognitive barrier.
"Now that father has passed away, the world is in chaos, and the Nine Dragons are without a master … The royal family has lost a Dharmakaya priest. If I can get Young Master Su to join us, the throne will be mine …"
The Fourth Prince's eyes burned with the flame of ambition.
In reality, the two remaining Dharmakaya priests of the royal family did not have much of an opinion on which of the princes would take the throne.
It was basically a group of royal Primordial Soul Stage priests and Primordial Core priests fighting for power.
Even most of the cultivation sects didn't care much. Instead, they blatantly nibbled away at the territory near their sects.
Now, the prestige of the Second Empire had declined to this point.
"In troubled times, there must be a hero. If I take the throne, I will rack my brains, build good relationships with the sects, resist external enemies, and recuperate internally. I might be able to become the leader of a generation …"
At this thought, the Fourth Prince's heart burned even more.
When the young eunuch returned from scouting, he didn't care about his status anymore. He got off the carriage and personally went to the entrance of the valley. He said to a member of the Su family, "Please inform Young Master Su that an old friend of the royal family is here to visit …"
