Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal - Chapter 57

Chapter 57

“This plan may succeed or it may fail, but for the future of the Heavenly Kingdom, I must give it a try!” the blood-red eyes said calmly.

“I understand, my Lord. I will follow you to the death!” The white-haired young man knelt on the ground, speaking respectfully.

“Very well. Since Number Thirty is dead, send another Saint King in his place.”

The blood-red eyes gave the order, then continued to mutter to themselves.

“It’s a pity that the Emperor is still watching. With his gaze upon us, this trial won’t reach its most brutal stage just yet.”

“This plan is merely an attempt; we do not expect it to succeed for certain. There will be opportunities in the future!”

With that, the blood-red eyes vanished, leaving the white-haired young man alone.

“The opportunity to rise…”

The white-haired young man murmured to himself. Soon, his gaze became resolute, and he raised his hand to call out.

“Number Twenty…”

He spoke in a low voice.

……

True Saint Continent, Wanxiang City, Su Family.

“Qingge, do you have the means to control the remnant soul of an ancient powerhouse, one that is very likely an Emperor?”

In a hall of the Su Family, Su Changsheng inquired. Beside him, Gu Qingge, with a large belly, displayed a hint of maturity on her exquisite and beautiful face.

Although she looked like a young girl, she exuded the stunning charm of a young matron.

“An ancient Emperor?”

Upon hearing Su Changsheng’s words, Gu Qingge turned her head, looking at him with a peculiar gaze.

“What, have you provoked another hidden old monster?”

The ancient era, spanning over a billion years ago, was a time when Emperors possessed unfathomable methods, potentially even more terrifying than those of the present.

Even Gu Qingge, who could be considered invincible among Emperors, would not dare to claim invincibility in the ancient era.

Of course, if she were to reincarnate and ascend to the Emperor’s throne once more, she would have the confidence to be invincible.

Moreover, in this life, she intended to walk the path of the Heavenly Emperor, using her unparalleled combat strength to break through the Immortal Domain and defy the heavens to become immortal.

However, all of this had to wait until her child was born. That troublesome Su Changsheng, always indulging in affection, never considered her physical condition.

Fortunately, he had recently found someone else; otherwise, she would have been exhausted to death.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingge gave Su Changsheng a shy and annoyed glare, leaving him somewhat puzzled.

“Ahem. It’s like this…”

Su Changsheng cleared his throat and then explained the situation regarding the ring given to him by An Miaoyi, which contained the slumbering remnant soul of an ancient Heavenly Emperor’s consort.

After all, it involved an ancient Heavenly Emperor, a being with unfathomable methods. Even though only a remnant soul remained, who knew how much power it still held or how many techniques it controlled?

That was not something Gu Qingge, who had just been reborn and had no cultivation, could compare to.

If it had any hidden tricks, wouldn’t he be in trouble?

“A Heavenly Emperor’s consort?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingge’s expression turned peculiar, and she looked at Su Changsheng with a subtle gaze.

“Su Changsheng, you really have guts, daring to even think about cuckolding a Heavenly Emperor!”

Gu Qingge sneered coldly.

Seeing that Gu Qingge seemed to have misunderstood him, Su Changsheng felt a bit helpless and wanted to explain. However, Gu Qingge interrupted him, saying, “But I admire your courage. As expected of my husband!”

“I agree. Taking the Heavenly Emperor’s consort as my little sister isn’t bad, and ultimately capturing the Empress would be even better!”

Gu Qingge’s eyes sparkled, and a slight smile curved her lips, as if she was looking forward to that scene.

Seeing this, Su Changsheng’s mouth opened slightly, but he eventually closed it without explaining anything.

Fine, let there be a misunderstanding.

Anyway, his image in Gu Qingge’s mind was more or less already set.

A scoundrel is a scoundrel.

“Come, let me lend you a hand!”

At this moment, Gu Qingge seemed to have returned to her former self as the Empress. With a wave of her delicate hand, she spoke with an air of authority.

Boom!

Before long, with Gu Qingge’s assistance, Su Changsheng performed countless intricate incantations, embedding numerous seals into the remnant soul within the ring.

Blinding divine light surged into the sky, and astonishing phenomena continuously emerged in this hall.

This even drew the attention of Bai Yuege, Su Ziyuan, and others.

As time passed, three days went by before the phenomena gradually dissipated.

“Finally, it’s under control!”

Su Changsheng let out a sigh of relief. The continuous high-intensity effort over three days had taken a toll on him, even as a Saint, depleting much of his spiritual power.

However, the results were gratifying.

Su Changsheng’s divine sense probed into the ring, and he saw a stunningly beautiful phantom floating within. She sat with her knees hugged to her chest, her white clothes as pure as snow, her flawless face, and her skin as pristine as moonlight.

Her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and a piece of exquisite jade hung around her neck, emitting a crystalline glow.

Although her form was ethereal, it still exuded a faint but terrifying aura.

According to Gu Qingge, if Su Changsheng hastily awakened this ancient Emperor’s consort, her strength could be so overwhelming that she might crush Su Changsheng with a mere flick of her finger.

Even though only a remnant soul remained, she could still unleash the power of a Great Saint.

Moreover, as an ancient Emperor, the control methods Su Changsheng currently possessed would be ineffective against her and could be easily neutralized.

However, with Gu Qingge’s involvement, this future invincible Empress taught Su Changsheng the “Ten Thousand Emperor Soul Sutra,” an imperial scripture created by an Emperor who had reached the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation.

The techniques within this imperial scripture were particularly effective against soul entities.

“Next, you just need to prepare some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to nourish the soul, along with some to condense the physical body, and Reincarnation Divine Water to help her revive!”

As she spoke, Gu Qingge casually tossed a long list of materials to Su Changsheng.

With just one glance, Su Changsheng felt a headache coming on.

They were too rare and practically impossible to find.

“I can only rely on the auction of the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance!” Su Changsheng sighed inwardly.

Time passed, and another two years went by.

During these two years, the Ninth Princess did not appear, but strange phenomena continued to occur in the True Saint Continent.

In the Demon Burial Valley, a towering phenomenon appeared, during which the majestic shadow of a Great Saint emerged, declaring that the secret realm he left behind would open periodically.

For a time, the secret realm was filled with bloodshed and chaos, with countless powerful individuals entering it, including many Half-Saints. However, the Saints did not enter immediately and were still observing.

This observation continued until a Half-Saint plucked a Celestial Fruit within the realm and immediately became a Saint upon consuming it. This event ended the waiting period, driving countless powerful individuals, including some Saints, into a frenzy as they entered the realm one after another.

This commotion lasted for nearly a year. The Great Saint Secret Realm opened and closed twice, with various powerful individuals reaping significant rewards and bringing out some rare items, which they prepared to auction.

“The third opening of the secret realm is imminent. It is said that this time, the true treasures will appear. The Ninth Princess is likely waiting for this opportunity!”

In the Su Family, Su Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the distant land, and then he sighed softly.

No matter what, he would not participate in it, whether it was an unparalleled opportunity or a deadly peril.

However, he could attend the auction of the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance. He had heard about some rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could help restore the soul and condense the physical body.

These were exactly what he needed.

Moreover……

“My child is about to be born!”

Su Changsheng’s gaze deepened as he looked towards the palace behind him, where Gu Qingge was preparing to give birth.

The first child he had fathered for over five years was finally about to be born.

“Brother Changsheng, is Sister Gu about to give birth? When will I be able to give birth too?!” Beside him, Bai Yuege blinked her eyes, her petite body also carrying a large belly.

Su Ziyuan was also pregnant, her belly small, only a year along, while An Miaoyi had not yet been taken by Su Changsheng.

After all, she had not yet reached the Ninth Heaven, and it would be too wasteful to break her body before then.

“Soon!”

Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng looked at Bai Yuege, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

“Ah!”

At the same time, a loud cry echoed from the room.

Boom!

Immediately after, a terrifying phenomenon surged into the sky.
