One person established a clan

Chapter 463 The Naïve Celestial
So weird.

The Palace Master of the Divine Palace was taken aback.

This person seemed to be shrouded in a faint mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

Yet it also exudes a strange sense of familiarity, making it difficult to feel any aversion.

Could it be that he is carrying some special magical treasure? Or perhaps he is a descendant of some deceased friend?
"What unspeakable difficulty does the young lady have?"

As Su Cheng approached, the Palace Master of the Divine Palace gasped slightly, instinctively taking two steps back and asking in a low voice, "We are complete strangers, why are you helping me?"

"Uh, perhaps I feel a connection with you, young lady?"

Su Cheng laughed heartily: "Seeing you standing here all alone, I couldn't help but want to lend a hand."

The Palace Master's gaze darkened.

She could tell it was an excuse, but she couldn't sense any hostility whatsoever.

After a brief silence, she ultimately decided not to get involved any further and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Su Cheng frowned slightly and secretly followed.

Although this woman possesses unparalleled beauty, she is not worth his entanglement.

However, as they got closer, they could vaguely sense that this woman's cultivation was not simple, so they naturally could not let her go unattended.

After all, this place is the Eastern Morning Imperial City, the current hub of the Five Desolate Domains, and also Sha'er's territory.

He cannot allow an unidentified 'variable' to roam freely here.

At the very least, we need to find out her identity and purpose.
"."

The Palace Master continued walking along the street, his gaze lingering on the shops along the way.

After tasting it just now, she couldn't help but develop a bit of interest in these mortal foods.

Although in her eyes they were all extremely simple things, containing not a single rare or precious ingredient, at least they tasted very sweet.
"Ok?"

She suddenly stopped and stared blankly at a simple food stall not far away, which was selling a kind of sweet cake that looked quite familiar.

In a daze, memories from decades ago surfaced like a tide, as if I had once taken Shi Xuan to buy similar sweets.
But it only happened that one time.

Looking at the old woman with a kind smile on her face by the stall, and the two children playing happily beside her, the Palace Master of the Divine Palace pursed her lips, a ripple of emotion stirring in her heart.

She wasn't moved by ordinary people, but recalling the past and Shi Xuan, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

If I had been willing to back down back then, perhaps Shi Xuan wouldn't have left, and we could have lived happily together like this.
"Here you go, young lady."

A sweet cake wrapped in oil paper was suddenly handed to her.

The Palace Master of the Divine Palace snapped out of her daze, staring blankly at Su Cheng standing before her, and couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.

"what for?"

"You've been standing here for ages, aren't you going to try it yourself?"

Su Cheng chuckled helplessly: "It seems like I'm the only one who can see you on this street, so I can't just ignore you."

The Palace Master frowned and whispered, "Mortal, mind your own business—"

Before she could finish speaking, Su Cheng had already shoved the sweet cake into her hand without saying a word.

"."

The Palace Master remained silent, feeling that the man was too forceful and rude, and had no sense of manners whatsoever.

Even mere mortals and ants dare to approach.
"This old lady's cooking skills are indeed excellent."

Su Cheng looked completely at ease, took the first bite, and ate with relish.

The Palace Master stared at him silently, then looked at the sweet cake in her hand, and finally tried to take a bite.

The sweet and mellow flavor, mixed with a familiar soft and chewy texture, made her freeze in place.

It's very similar to what it was like back then.
"Uh, are you crying, young lady?"

Upon hearing Su Cheng's slightly hesitant question, the Palace Master of the Divine Palace suddenly came to his senses and gave a cold snort.

"I do not have it."

".OK."

Su Cheng felt a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said, "How about we go and explore other parts of the city?"

The Palace Master gave him a deep look.

"Very well, I grant your permission."

Su Cheng smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal her to follow.

"Young lady, with your refined manners and speech, could you perhaps come from a prestigious family?"

"Of course I am."

The Palace Master of the Divine Palace paused slightly, somewhat hesitant.

Su Cheng nodded knowingly and teased, "Could it be that she's a runaway young lady who doesn't want to talk to outsiders about it?"

The Palace Master of the Divine Palace was momentarily speechless, and a slight annoyance arose within him.

This mortal man is truly presumptuous.
She turned her face away and did not respond.

But Su Cheng saw this reaction and thought that this woman was indeed a sheltered young lady.

That makes it easier to deal with.

In a bustling restaurant in the city, a graceful figure sat by the window.

Mingtian rested his chin on his hand, gazing at the scenery of the imperial city, occasionally sipping his tea, looking very relaxed and carefree.

Since returning to the Five Desolations with Su Cheng and the others, she has begun to experience the joys of life and finds happiness in it.

In her opinion, although the young girl Feng Sha was still young, she did have the ability to govern the country and its people.

If we can develop steadily for another ten years, not only the Eastern Morning Kingdom, but the entire Five Desolate Regions will be completely renewed and may once again usher in a golden age.

"As expected of Huang Feng's successor. Hmm?"

As Ming Tian was sighing, his gaze suddenly sharpened as he unexpectedly caught sight of a familiar figure walking down the street.

"Su Cheng, he's back already?"

She was even more taken aback when she saw the woman in white robes accompanying him.

"And who is this woman?"

Ming Tian became curious and saw the beauty holding various street snacks, tasting them slowly.

Although she has a pure and aloof demeanor, her cheeks are now slightly chubby from eating, making her look rather cute and adorable.

Su Cheng chatted and laughed on the side, enjoying his meal just as much. From a distance, they looked like a pair of gluttonous and playful young lovers.

".eccentric."

This woman was able to resist her prying eyes; she was no ordinary person.

Moreover, his behavior towards Su Cheng suggests a close relationship, perhaps a romantic encounter that he has stirred up during his trip.

"This kid definitely loves to flirt."

Ming Tian couldn't help but smile. But then he thought that Duanmu and the others all doted on this person, so it wasn't his place to worry about him.

only.
"Why not give him a push?"

Ming Tian smiled faintly, already having made his plans.

The Palace Master licked her lips lightly, her face still showing a hint of lingering enjoyment.

Although she disliked the coarseness of the food, the flavors of many desserts did indeed tantalize her taste buds, and she couldn't help but eat more.
"The girl seems to have a sweet tooth."

Su Cheng casually handed over a clean handkerchief. "There are still many new items ahead, would you like to try some more?"

"No need."

The Palace Mistress took the handkerchief and gently shook her head. "I have had enough."

She glanced at me sideways and said, "You've accompanied me on this tour so far; you've been quite thoughtful."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "No need to be so polite."

This journey wasn't just about food and drink. This mysterious 'young lady' was like a curious child, constantly stopping to admire new things.

After being introduced to Su Cheng several times, she gradually became familiar with him and began to ask him questions. They ended up chatting quite a bit along the way.

He has dabbled in everything from clothing, food, housing, and transportation to religious sects, government offices, and even common sense in the world.

After a while, her tone, though still cold, has softened considerably compared to before.

"The girl may seem aloof, but she's actually quite cute and interesting."

“If this were within the territory of this palace, your words alone would be enough to punish you for disrespect.”

The Palace Master of the Divine Palace gave a light snort. "Alright, I have no intention of being enemies with this city. You don't need to test me any further. Farewell."

She didn't linger any longer, casually tossed something aside, turned around, and gracefully took to the air, flying towards the outside of the city.

Su Cheng caught the item she tossed to him, realizing it was quite valuable, and couldn't help but chuckle. Although this woman seemed naive and even somewhat clueless, she acted with propriety and possessed a certain air of dignity and composure.

"She's not as easy to coax as ordinary girls."

Su Cheng seemed thoughtful: "But she really doesn't seem to have any hostility towards this place, so there's no need to be too wary."

only.
"We still haven't been able to explore the spiritual veins that are at the Immortal level."

Just as he was feeling regretful, he suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation emanating from outside the city.

"This is."

Su Cheng was taken aback, and immediately darted off to chase after him.

Upon closer inspection, the pure white woman appeared to be trapped by some kind of force.

"Who did this?"

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately leaped into the air and grabbed the woman's wrist.

The next moment, the void opened up like a giant maw, instantly swallowing the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings returned to calm.

"."

Mingtian appeared gracefully on the high walls of the imperial city, his fingertips forming a light hand seal, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Young Su, I'll help you this far. Take this opportunity to get to know that beauty well."

As soon as Su Cheng landed with the Palace Master of the Divine Palace, he looked around with a solemn expression.

The moment I grabbed her, I was swept into this secret realm; clearly, someone had set a trap for me.

"To be able to create such a complete secret realm space so quietly, one must be a powerful being of divine power."

Moreover, this spiritual energy felt somewhat familiar.
"Could it be that Senior Mingtian did it?"

Su Cheng's expression turned somewhat strange.

What is Mingtian's intention in suddenly pulling this stunt?

"How much longer do you intend to hold me captive?" A slightly cold female voice rang out from the side.

Su Cheng snapped out of his daze and turned his head to meet those beautiful, icy eyes.

"Discourteous person."

"It was an emergency, I apologize for the offense."

"I know."

The Palace Master withdrew her slender hand and said coldly, "If you hadn't harbored no ill intentions, I wouldn't have spared you."

Su Cheng chuckled: "Miss, I just came to your rescue."

"I do not need your help."

The Palace Master turned and gazed at the illusory realm shrouded in white mist. "This realm was hastily constructed and is quite crude. I am merely curious as to who dares to act so recklessly."

After speaking, she lightly flicked her slender fingers, outlining several mysterious ancient seals.

"If you want to get away, it's not difficult."

The void seemed to tear open, and a mysterious light seemed to surround her.

Su Cheng was somewhat surprised, never expecting her to have such incredible mastery of formations.

In the blink of an eye, he had found a way to break through to the next level. Such skill!
"What are you waiting for? Follow me."

The Palace Master glanced at him sideways and said coldly, "Don't stray too far from me. If anything happens, I can still protect you."

Su Cheng's heart stirred slightly, and he chuckled, "You're quite the tough one."

"Hmph, rude mortal."

The Palace Master of the Divine Palace had an icy expression. He lightly traced a line with his fingers, and a mysterious light enveloped Su Cheng within it.

But just as she was about to set off, she suddenly frowned, stopped, and looked up at the sky.

Above the misty white fog, a strange aura was faintly gathering, making the entire secret realm even more oppressive.

And
Hey, hey, hey!
The Palace Master's slender hand trembled as if struck by lightning, and the mysterious light around her suddenly dissipated, causing the newly opened void passage to close as well.

"."

Her brows were furrowed, her expression solemn. She gazed silently at the sky where lightning was beginning to appear, her eyes flickering as if she were deep in thought.

Su Cheng was even more astonished at this moment.

He could clearly sense that an extremely powerful heavenly tribulation was gathering in the sky above this secret realm!
"Could this also be the work of Senior Mingtian?"

His mind raced, and he quickly dismissed the guess.

Even if Ming Tian's cultivation is strong, he cannot summon a heavenly tribulation. After all, this is part of the principles of heaven and earth, and is the power of the Heavenly Dao.

But the Heavenly Dao is not here now, so how could it be?
"It seems that I underestimated the 'Five Desolate Domains' itself."

The Palace Master of the Divine Palace gazed intently and murmured, "I merely unleashed a wisp of 'true power,' yet it directly bypassed the superficial principles of Heaven's Dao, attracting the Chaos Tribulation to my doom. No wonder such a perilous place has been rarely visited by True Immortals for millennia."

Su Cheng, who was listening nearby, was astonished.

This woman is indeed not from the Five Desolate Regions?
But he had no time to think it over, for the Heavenly Tribulation was already gathering and rising at an astonishing speed, emanating an unprecedented aura of destruction.

[Detected 'Ninefold Chaos Heavenly Tribulation']

[Activated spontaneously by the ancient seal of a true immortal, engraved in the deepest part of the void, it gathers the energy of all things and contains the power of destruction.]

[Absorbable and refinable]

Boom!

A deafening roar suddenly erupted.

Thunder roared and lightning flashed across the sky, the rolling storm almost illuminating the heavens, as if it were tearing the sky apart!

But upon witnessing this scene, Su Cheng was taken aback.

Why does this scene of heavenly tribulation look somewhat familiar?

Where have I seen this before?
His heart skipped a beat.

When I first arrived here, I witnessed Xuan'er's 'heavenly tribulation' in the valley, and this was exactly the scene!

"Rude mortals."

The Palace Master suddenly swept his sleeve to block the way, speaking in a cold voice: "This calamity is caused by me. If you want to live, you should immediately move far away and protect yourself with all your might."

Su Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he pressed her hand down instead.

"Let me do it."

"Um!?"

The Palace Master frowned, his eyes filled with anger. "How dare you act recklessly now? This calamity is no ordinary matter—"

Before the words were finished, the sky suddenly turned pitch black.

The next moment, a jet-black lightning bolt, seemingly capable of destroying everything, tore through the heavens and earth, crashing down and completely engulfing the two figures.

Boom——!
A terrifying, soul-shaking roar finally broke through the air.

Lightning surged ceaselessly as the two figures simultaneously raised their hands to confront the might of heaven, turning the surrounding area into a molten lava inferno.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The Palace Master of the Divine Palace blocked the lightning with one palm. When he saw that Su Cheng could actually withstand the Chaos Tribulation, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But she had no time to think it through and immediately focused on dealing with the heavenly tribulation.

"This calamity is truly extraordinary!"

In a daze, it felt as if an entire realm was pressing down on his shoulders, causing his soul to feel like it was about to break and his inner energy to stagnate.

Beneath the rolling lightning, the Palace Master of the Divine Palace suddenly groaned, clearly aggravating an unhealed internal injury, and his body swayed involuntarily.

"Insolent thief!"

Her face paled slightly, and she knew something was wrong. She suddenly shouted coldly, "This calamity is endless and impossible to resist. I will send you out now. You must escape at once!"

Just as she was about to make a move, her slender hand was pressed down again.

The Palace Master of the Divine Palace was taken aback.

Su Cheng showed no sign of strain; on the contrary, he appeared to be handling the situation with ease.

"I appreciate your kindness, young lady."

Su Cheng smiled slightly: "But this lightning tribulation is a great tonic, so I must accept it carefully."

After saying that, purple lightning and raging flames suddenly erupted beneath his feet, and his figure abruptly rose from the ground, soaring straight into the sky amidst the chaotic heavenly lightning!
