BXBX NOVEL Chapter 43 - the Arrival of the Ninth Princess
In the outskirts of the Su family’s ancestral grounds, within Su Ziyuan’s palace, Su Changsheng’s eyes gleamed as he observed the scene. Gu Qingge and Bai Yuege were equally captivated.
Before them stood an awe-inspiring figure, bathed in radiant divine light, emanating an invisible resonance with the Great Dao. It was as if an immortal embryo embodied the essence of the Dao itself.
From the heavens and earth, streams of Great Dao light descended, runes flickered, and the Great Dao reverberated ceaselessly, creating a dazzling brilliance similar to the source of the Great Dao.
Even Gu Qingge and Su Changsheng were momentarily dumbfounded. The Primordial Mixed Yuan Dao Fetus was a pinnacle among Saint Bodies, nearly rivaling the Immortal Body’s greatness.
Considering the Reincarnation of Dao Pupil, it could even outshine the Immortal Body, making Su Ziyuan an unparalleled anomaly. With her emergence, even a Great Emperor would vie for her as a disciple.
“Sister Ziyuan has become incredibly formidable!” Bai Yuege exclaimed, her moonlight mark trembling as though moved by the sight.
“The Primordial Mixed Yuan Dao Fetus, when awakened, leads to an astonishing transformation. Each day of her cultivation equates to leaps of progress,” Gu Qingge expressed in awe.
This constitution was comparable with her Indestructible Body of Myriad Tribulations. It even surpassed her in terms of Dao comprehension, as Su Ziyuan’s affinity with the Great Dao allowed for easier understanding.
Once cultivation began, the speed of progress would be astonishing and defy the heavens. In ten years, it could reach the Dharma Form level. In a century, it could attain Great Saint status effortlessly.
Becoming an Emperor wouldn’t present a challenge. It was merely a matter of time. Only the threshold of becoming an Immortal posed a potential obstacle.
As the anomalies on Su Ziyuan’s body gradually dissipated, her long hair cascaded, and her eyes exuded boundless wisdom as if holding a universe within them. Her demeanor turned serene, every movement accompanied by a harmonious resonance with the Dao. Her appearance and temperament had undergone a monumental shift. If she had once been a lovely girl, she had now transformed into a peerless goddess, an immortal seemingly disconnected from the mortal world—an embodiment of the Great Dao. Even Gu Qingge couldn’t overshadow her. She was genuinely peerless.
“Elder Ancestor, did I succeed?” Su Ziyuan inquired, her gaze nervously fixed on Su Changsheng.
“Yes, congratulations! With your talent, you’re among the finest in this world,” Su Changsheng applauded, causing joy in Su Ziyuan’s eyes.
“Thank you, Elder Ancestor, for making this possible. I’ll repay this debt to the best of my ability,” Su Ziyuan acknowledged, fully aware of Su Changsheng’s role in her transformation.
“No need for that. The best repayment would be to excel in your cultivation and secure victory in the clan competition,” Su Changsheng subtly reminded her.
“Absolutely! I’ll clinch the top spot in the clan competition!” Su Ziyuan blushed and appeared a bit coy, her eyes reflecting her determination.
“…,” Gu Qingge’s expression grew colder. She saw through the underlying meaning of their conversation and felt a twinge of displeasure. Despite being the legitimate wife, she felt like an outsider.
“Very well, from now on, I’ll regularly guide your cultivation. I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Su Changsheng conveyed before turning to Gu Qingge. His voice was gentle, “Qingge, I’ll need your assistance in selecting one or two appropriate cultivation techniques.”
Given the Heaven-Defying Primordial Mixed Yuan Dao Fetus, it demanded elite techniques like the Emperor’s Scripture or the Immortal’s Scripture—top-tier inheritances. However, Su Changsheng lacked such techniques. The Thousand Tribulations Battle Art was a gift from Gu Qingge, but it didn’t synergize well with the Primordial Mixed Yuan Dao Fetus.
“Hmph, still relying on me, I see!” Gu Qingge snorted, her irritation evident. Despite her displeasure, she complied. Activating her divine sense, she imprinted a Primordial Dao Scripture technique onto her forehead and then transmitted it to Su Changsheng. She explained, “This is the Primordial Dao Scripture. It was formulated by an Emperor possessing the Primordial Mixed Yuan Dao Fetus. However, it contains only the first half and can be cultivated up to the Great Saint realm…”
Though she possessed numerous techniques, she didn’t have a perfect match. The Primordial Dao Scripture was only half complete.
“However, the tomb of this Emperor is about to open in the Mysterious Kun Divine Domain. A complete inheritance should be available there in about a hundred years,” Gu Qingge interjected.
“Thank you, Madam,” Su Changsheng acknowledged. He then smiled at Gu Qingge, “Your awareness of this is sufficient.”
Gu Qingge maintained a composed expression. After her remark, she turned and left, bringing Bai Yuege, who had been observing the proceedings, along with her.
“Dear, come on. You haven’t completed the training regimen I assigned for today!” Gu Qingge urged, guiding Bai Yuege away.
“Ah!” Bai Yuege exclaimed in frustration as she followed along.
“Ziyuan, this will be your cultivation technique from now on. Don’t let me down,” Su Changsheng said as he raised a finger, transmitting the Primordial Dao Scripture to Su Ziyuan. Although it only allowed cultivation up to the Great Saint realm, it suited Su Ziyuan’s present needs well.
“Thank you, Elder Ancestor!” Su Ziyuan’s expression glowed with happiness.
Guided by Su Changsheng, Su Ziyuan promptly commenced her cultivation. He instructed her to abandon her previous cultivation and start anew to establish a firm foundation, enabling the Primordial Mixed Yuan Dao Fetus’s remarkable aspects to surface.
Within a day, Su Ziyuan reconstructed her body and effortlessly broke through, reaching a strength of 300,000 jin. Typically, 100,000 jin of strength marked a peak in the physical realm—known as the Small Pinnacle—and indicated exceptional talent. However, 300,000 jin represented top-tier divine bodies. Even in the past, Su Changsheng took three years to reach 180,000 jin of strength. Yet, Su Ziyuan achieved this feat in just a single day.
Although her foundation included discarding her previous cultivation and starting anew, in addition to the Emperor’s Scripture and abundant resources, this still showcased the heaven-defying nature of the Primordial Mixed Yuan Dao Fetus. Within three days, Su Ziyuan surpassed 700,000 jin of strength and approached the one-million-jin bottleneck—the maximum for the physical realm.
“People from the Changsheng Imperial Court have arrived?!” On that day, his brow furrowed as Su Changsheng guided Su Ziyuan’s cultivation. He raised his head and observed a group of formidable individuals, exuding fearsome auras, descending upon the Su family’s location.
“I must personally address this matter. Ziyuan, stay with Qingge and the others during this time. Make sure you remain hidden!” Su Changsheng directed Su Ziyuan, currently engrossed in cultivation, cautioning her.
The Primordial Mixed Yuan Dao Fetus was of paramount importance. As the highest level of the divine body, its appearance would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Changsheng Imperial Court’s most formidable figures. Su Changsheng still lacked the power to contend with them.
Thankfully, he had placed various seals and prohibitions on Su Ziyuan’s body. With Gu Qingge’s assistance in concealment, they should remain undetected unless a quasi-emperor launched an inquiry.
“Understood!” Su Ziyuan complied obediently, though somewhat puzzled.
“Where is your Elder Ancestor, Su Changsheng?!” Simultaneously, within the main hall of the Su family, a group of prominent Su family members, including Su Yun, sat with apprehension. On the main seat…
“This princess wishes to meet him!” A petite girl occupied the seat, supporting her chin with one hand. She had golden phoenix eyes adorned with crimson makeup, casually surveying her surroundings.
At her words, the Su family members broke into a cold sweat. They hadn’t anticipated the visitor sent by the Changsheng Imperial Court would be a princess. Although her identity remained unknown, the Changsheng Imperial Court was renowned. Even Great Saint powerhouses treated members of the imperial family with respect.
“We didn’t anticipate the arrival of a princess from the Imperial Court. It was an oversight for Changsheng not to extend a welcome. Please accept our apologies!” At that moment, a composed voice intervened, dispelling the tension within the hearts of the Su family’s prominent members.
Excellent, the Elder Ancestor has appeared!
The Su family members seemed to have regained their confidence. Their posture straightened, and a collective sigh of relief swept through them. This scene piqued the Ninth Princess’s curiosity as she occupied the main seat. Su Changsheng possessed some noteworthy abilities.
