Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Although his strength was formidable, being at the sixth level of the Saint realm, he posed only a slight threat to her.

But now, Su Changsheng’s strength has grown even more, reaching the eighth level of the Saint realm, and his combat power is terrifying.

Although he still doesn’t pose a significant threat to her, that was based on the condition of her using various trump cards.

As the dignified Ninth Princess of the Imperial Court, her realm may not be very high, but she has so many trump cards that she could easily kill even a Saint King.

Even when facing a Great Saint, she was confident she could retreat safely.

Su Changsheng, a newly advanced Saint, doesn’t have high aptitude and lacked a heaven-defying physique, but the speed at which his strength increased was truly frightening.

Even the Ninth Princess was somewhat surprised.

This rate of advancement was comparable to that of top-tier divine physiques, but those prodigies achieved such speeds only under the full support and cultivation of various families and forces.

What was Su Changsheng relying on?

“Everyone has some secrets, doesn’t the Ninth Princess as well?” Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng slightly tilted his head to look at her, his eyes glimmering as he chuckled softly.

Over the past three years, although Gu Qingge and others have not yet borne an offspring, Su Changsheng’s strength still increased significantly with the help of the resources from the family’s grand gift package.

Now, he has already reached the eighth level of the Saint realm. Coupled with the effects of the Enlightenment Pill, his Myriad Tribulations Battle Technique and Nine Tribulations Secret Codex have improved rapidly.

His current combat strength was strong enough to contend with, or even slay, an ordinary Saint King.

However, the cost of such significant improvement was that the resources in the family that aided a Saint’s cultivation had been completely exhausted by him.

In a short time, it would be difficult to continue making rapid breakthroughs, so he could only look forward to the birth of the two children.

In three years, Gu Qingge’s belly has also grown significantly, and it was estimated that in another year or two, the children would be born.

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

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess snorted lightly, neither agreeing or disagreeing. She then propped her chin up with one hand, looking lazily at the grand arena.

“However, the geniuses of your Su family are quite ordinary. Where is that hidden divine physique of yours? Why hasn’t it appeared?”

With her discerning eyes, she naturally looked down on the ordinary geniuses of the Su family.

Not to mention geniuses, even divine physiques and top-tier divine physiques were as numerous as carp crossing the river in the Eternal Imperial Court, were countless in number.

“The Su family has only recently risen to prominence, so naturally, there aren’t many geniuses. But in a few years, things will be different!”

Su Changsheng shook his head and admitted frankly.

The younger generation of the Su family in this era was indeed average, barely able to compare with some top-tier forces.

They truly did not catch the Ninth Princess’s eye.

“However, if it’s that divine physique, it might indeed make the Ninth Princess’s eyes light up!”

Su Changsheng said with a light smile.

“Then this princess will have to take a good look!”

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess was somewhat surprised. Could a mere divine physique really make her eyes light up?

“If it doesn’t, how about you become this princess’s follower?!” The Ninth Princess’s eyes flashed with cunning as she spoke.

Immediately after, she hugged her knees to her chest, resting her chin on her knees, her bare feet placed on the chair. She blinked her eyes and stared at Su Changsheng, completely lacking the dignity and majesty of the dignified Ninth Princess.

Although three years had passed, her physique had not changed; she remained petite. Her golden hair cascaded like a waterfall, covering her body.

Her pair of lazy golden eyes still exuded a noble aura.

“The Ninth Princess still won’t give up, but I will say it again, I will not agree to your request!”

Su Changsheng shook his head, his expression serious.

“You… are so stubborn!”

The Ninth Princess was somewhat exasperated.

Over the past three years, the Ninth Princess would occasionally visit the Su family and converse with Su Changsheng.

With each interaction, their relationship grew closer, yet during this time, the Ninth Princess never gave up on recruiting Su Changsheng.

However, each time, Su Changsheng refused, which made the Ninth Princess gnash her teeth in frustration.

One must know that with her conditions, which genius or outstanding talent in the Eternal Heavenly Realm wouldn’t eagerly come forward?

Even the young divine sons of top-tier divine beasts like the Xuanwu and White Tiger clans wanted to be her mount, but she disdainfully refused them.

Only Su Changsheng, this man, continuously rejected her!

However, it was precisely because Su Changsheng kept refusing her that the Ninth Princess became so interested.

She was quite curious to see if this man could continue to hold out.

Boom!

At the clan competition, one by one, the geniuses of the Su family took the stage to fight. Various divine abilities and magical powers erupted, causing intense fluctuations that swept across the vast arena, creating a remarkable commotion.

However, the geniuses of the Su family in this generation were indeed average and couldn’t stir up much of a storm.

Of course, this is relative. For first-tier and second-tier forces, this was already something worth exclaiming over.

Soon, a new genius from the Su family took the stage. It was Su Ziyuan. Her appearance caused a shock among the top experts present.

“The aura of a divine physique!”

“The Su family actually has a divine physique, and this aura is astonishing. It’s at least of a high-tier divine physique!”

“Hiss, the Su family has such good fortune! They actually have a high-tier divine physique. Once it matures, it will at least be a Saint King!”

The leaders of various forces, including a group of Half-Saints and even Saints hidden in the shadows, all showed expressions of shock in their eyes.

The Su family actually possessed a divine physique, and it was at least a high-tier divine physique!

Physiques were not only divided into divine physiques and saint physiques, but even within the same level of physique, there were distinctions of quality.

Roughly categorized as lower-tier, middle-tier, upper-tier, and top-tier.

The divine physique geniuses born in the True Saint Continent were generally of ordinary level. They can become Saints in the future, but advancing further was quite difficult.

An upper-tier divine physique, however, will at least become a Saint King in the future and may even have the potential to become a Great Saint.

Such a prodigy, not to mention the True Saint Continent, would be a top-tier genius even in the entire Kunpeng Divine Domain.

Thinking this way, the leaders of various top forces, and even the powerful figures within those forces, all showed expressions of shock in their eyes.

They knew that the Su family was truly on the rise, and it wouldn’t be difficult for them to become an ancient clan in the future.

A Great Saint!

Once one appeared, the Su family could even surpass the Taishi Sect.

“A top-tier divine physique? No, it’s more than that. Is this an Innate Dao Fetus? No, it seems a bit different!”

(TN: The “Innate Dao Fetus” implies a physique or constitution that is naturally endowed with extraordinary potential and purity from birth, akin to an embryonic form of the Dao (the fundamental principle or way in Chinese philosophy and spirituality). It suggests that the individual with such a physique has an innate, almost divine connection to the Dao, granting them unparalleled potential and abilities.)

The Ninth Princess’s eyes suddenly widened, her body leaning slightly forward, and a look of shock appeared in her eyes.

A top-tier divine physique?

It was more than that. Judging by its aura, it was at least close to a Saint Physique, very much like the legendary Innate Dao Fetus.

“Su Changsheng, is this an Innate Dao Fetus?”

The Ninth Princess looked at Su Changsheng, her tone slightly hurried. If it was an Innate Dao Fetus, then it was truly terrifying.

That was at the level of a Saint Physique.

Once it matured and reached its peak, it would at least be a Supreme powerhouse, and there was even some hope of achieving Dao and becoming an Emperor!

Even if they couldn’t become an Emperor, just becoming a Supreme would make them a major figure in the Eternal Imperial Court.

In the Eternal Imperial Court, divine physiques were not particularly valuable, and even top-tier divine physiques were just so-so, but Saint Physiques were different. The appearance of any Saint Physique would cause even Quasi-Emperor powerhouses to fight over them.

Even Supremes would step forward to take them as disciples.

Su Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

Should he say, as expected of the dignified Imperial Court Princess, she could actually sense the aura of an Innate Dao Fetus.

“It’s not!”

Su Changsheng shook his head.

This was indeed not an Innate Dao Fetus, but an Innate Primordial Dao Fetus, the highest level of Saint Physique, close to the level of an Immortal Physique.

However, under the dual concealment by him and Gu Qingge, its aura had been obscured. Now, it appeared to be merely between an upper-tier and top-tier divine physique.

This was also why, in the eyes of the Half-Saints and other sect leaders, Su Ziyuan appeared to be an upper-tier divine physique, while the Ninth Princess could discern it as a top-tier divine physique.

This was the difference in their abilities.

“Indeed, it just looks somewhat similar. It should be a similar physique. Could it be an Innate Dao Physique?”

The Ninth Princess frowned. After carefully observing for a while, she shook her head in disappointment.
