Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 66

Ancient Human King?

Su Changsheng’s heart trembled, a storm of shock rising within him. What kind of existence was this?

It was known that the ancient era was already extremely distant, spanning over a billion years. Even a mere remnant soul of an Empress was terrifyingly powerful, belonging to an Emperor-level powerhouse.

And now, an Ancient Human King appeared!

Could it be that this was an unparalleled powerhouse comparable to an immortal?

“Purple Gold Fate Level, just like Qingge and the others… It seems I must secure this!”

Su Changsheng murmured to himself.

However, as his gaze swept through the entire auction hall via the reflections in the room, he did not spot the so-called reincarnation of the Ancient Human King.

Su Changsheng frowned.

Could it be that they are hidden? Or perhaps a powerhouse behind the scenes of the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance?

“Hey, Su Changsheng, this princess sincerely invited you to the Heaven-Class Room No. 1, and you actually ignored me. Isn’t that a bit disrespectful to this princess?”

At that moment, a somewhat displeased voice interrupted Su Changsheng’s thoughts.

Su Changsheng raised his eyebrows and saw the Ninth Princess with her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, her exquisitely beautiful face showing a hint of anger.

Her golden pupils shimmered with flowing light as she stared at him, clearly displeased.

Not far from her, a group of Imperial Family powerhouses stood respectfully, remaining silent. The previously intimidating Aunt Ye also looked at Su Changsheng with a puzzled expression.

She was astonished.

Why did it feel like this Su Changsheng had become incredibly terrifying, almost catching up to her?

Su Changsheng glanced at her, feeling a chill in his heart.

His strength had advanced by leaps and bounds compared to a few years ago, reaching an entirely different level.

Not only had he broken through to the Saint King realm, but he also possessed the Eternal Calamity Primordial Demon Body. Coupled with the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex and other enhancements, he was practically invincible below the Great Saint level.

Even a Half-Step Great Saint could be killed with a flip of his hand.

But when he looked at the middle-aged woman, he felt that she was even more unfathomable than before. She no longer seemed like just a Saint King as he had sensed a few years ago.

This was a Great Saint.

The thought arose in Su Changsheng’s mind.

“……”

“Apologies, I was just thinking about something and inadvertently delayed the princess. I hope the princess can forgive me!”

However, although his thoughts were swirling, Su Changsheng maintained a natural demeanor on the surface, bowing to the Ninth Princess with an apologetic expression.

Indeed, it was his fault for being overly focused on the matter of the Ancient Human King and neglecting the Ninth Princess.

However, the system’s alert was too astonishing, causing him to be somewhat distracted.

After all, that was the Ancient Human King.

If he could win her over and have a child with her, the benefits would be unimaginable.

“Forget it, this princess doesn’t care about such a small matter. But you, your strength has advanced by leaps and bounds again. This princess is starting to suspect that you’ve been hiding your true power!”

The Ninth Princess looked at him with a suspicious gaze.

As the Ninth Princess of the Imperial Family, the Eternal Imperial Family’s influence in the True Saint Continent naturally followed her command.

Therefore, she was well aware of many pieces of information about Su Changsheng.

Including how, half a year ago, Su Changsheng killed the Black Demon Elder, showcasing the combat power of a Saint King.

“You, could it be that you’ve awakened some supreme physique or obtained the inheritance of a Great Emperor?”

The Ninth Princess asked.

In just a few short years, Su Changsheng’s strength had skyrocketed so much.

This made her very suspicious that Su Changsheng might have obtained the inheritance of a Great Emperor, causing his aptitude to transform and allowing him to rival the most extraordinary geniuses.

“Everyone has their own secrets, Ninth Princess. There’s no need to delve too deeply. After all, I am just Su Changsheng!” Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng merely smiled without explaining, speaking with a meaningful tone.

“If you don’t want to say, then forget it!”

The Ninth Princess grumbled in dissatisfaction, then waved her hand, leading Su Changsheng to a nearby Dao platform.

The Heaven-Class Room No. 1 was spacious and incredibly luxurious, filled with dense spiritual energy. It contained several Dao platforms, each radiating brilliant light and surrounded by Daoist auras.

As soon as Su Changsheng sat down, his expression changed. He felt various insights into the Dao flooding his mind, and some of his previous doubts about cultivation suddenly became clearer.

This shocked him.

It must be known that he now possessed an Immortal Physique, with an extraordinary level of comprehension.

Even Dao Enlightenment Pills had little effect on him.

But now, this Dao platform was actually providing him with some small assistance.

Although it wasn’t much, it was already incredibly miraculous.

“This Dao platform…”

Su Changsheng’s gaze fell upon the Dao platform, and he was surprised.

“Humph, surprised, aren’t you? This is one of the benefits of the Heaven-Class Room No. 1. These Dao platforms can assist cultivators below the Quasi-Emperor level. Sitting here for three to five years can be equivalent to a minor Dao enlightenment.”

The Ninth Princess said with some pride.

“Indeed, very surprising. The Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance truly has unfathomable foundations!”

Su Changsheng shook his head.

Such Dao platforms, in some overlord sects like the Taishi Sect, would likely be considered supreme treasures, akin to the very essence of their heritage.

But here in the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance, even a random branch had so many Dao platforms.

“Isn’t the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance afraid of something happening by placing such precious Dao platforms in a small branch?” Su Changsheng asked with some confusion.

After all, no matter how powerful the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance was, a small branch in a continent couldn’t be too exaggerated and might not have a Great Saint overseeing it.

Such precious treasures would be enough to tempt a Great Saint to take action.

“You don’t understand. Any Great Saint-level powerhouse wouldn’t be foolish enough to attack the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance. And those below the Great Saint level are merely ants, posing no real threat!”

The Ninth Princess shook her head and continued to explain, “The Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance’s foundation is incredibly terrifying. The power they have today was truly fought for!”

“In the past, there were indeed powerhouses who attacked branches of the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance, but all those who took action died, cursed to death by the supreme powerhouses of the alliance using the power of karma!”

“Even… an Emperor was slain!”

At the end, the Ninth Princess hesitated for a moment before sighing and revealing this.

A rare expression of reverence appeared on her exquisite face.

“Slaying an Emperor?”

Su Changsheng gasped.

Not only him, but the group of Imperial Family powerhouses behind the Ninth Princess also looked incredibly shocked.

It was the first time they had heard of this.

Only Aunt Ye remained calm, as if she had known all along, looking very composed.

“Hehe, this world is vast. The Xuanhuang Great World has many heavenly realms, and the Eternal Heavenly Realm is just one of them. The Imperial Family is merely one of the Overlords of the Eternal Heavenly Realm!”

The Ninth Princess’s delicate face was filled with reverence, and her tone was solemn as she continued:

“But the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance spans the entire Great World, and even beyond… This is the true Overlord, with an unfathomably terrifying foundation that even Emperors dare not provoke!”

“Why does the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance dare to use ‘Immortal’ in its name?”

“There is a reason for this!”

Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng finally understood.

Why the Ninth Princess said that no one dared to attack the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance, not even its branches.

Because the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance had true “Immortals” within it!

An entity that could even slay Emperors and had supreme “Immortals” within it—what kind of powerhouse would dare to recklessly seek trouble with them?

Great Saint-level powerhouses already had the qualifications to touch upon some of the great secrets of the world.

Therefore, powerhouses of this level were aware of at least a fraction of the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance’s terrifying power, and thus never provoked them.

Su Changsheng also became more aware of just how deep the waters of this world truly were.

“Alright, talking about this now is pointless. It’s still too far away from us. The Imperial Family is already an insurmountable peak of the Great Dao!”

The Ninth Princess waved her hand.

“If you want to consider matters of the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance, wait until you become a Quasi-Emperor. Only at that level will you barely qualify to be considered a significant figure!”

Quasi-Emperor?

Su Changsheng raised an eyebrow. He had just broken through to the Saint King realm, and becoming a Quasi-Emperor was still a distant goal.

It seemed that he still had a long way to go to become a true powerhouse.
