Chapter 87:
Rumbling thunder carried the power of the Great Dao, and a thread of Heavenly Dao will descended, merging into Su Changyu's soul. Any cultivator entering the Heavenly Saint Realm enjoyed the blessing of Heavenly Dao will, transforming their soul and granting them a lifespan of ten thousand years.
After the breakthrough, Su Changyu officially stepped into the Heavenly Saint Realm. Simultaneously, the power he had been suppressing exploded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rolling true essence flowed, spreading through his limbs and bones with the Devouring Heaven Technique.
Su Changyu's cultivation, just entering the Heavenly Saint Realm, surged again.
After about an hour, he finished cultivating.
In the secret chamber, Su Changyu opened his eyes. His gaze was calm, neither happy nor sad, like an ancient god awakening.
"Finally, I've entered the Heavenly Saint Realm."
He raised his hand, releasing a strand of mysterious power, causing space to distort instantly.
This was Su Changyu's domain, integrating the laws of time and space. Though only in its beginning stages, within this domain…
Inside, even a Heavenly Emperor Realm's power would be affected.
"Time... Space..."
He activated the laws of time, causing the flow of time around him to speed up and slow down briefly. Speeding up and slowing down were the most basic functions of the time law, and he couldn't yet use them at a higher level.
Power transformation, the force of space.
Su Changyu's figure gradually blurred. He sat there, but at times he appeared in other parts of the chamber silently. This wasn't something achieved through mere body techniques.
"The power of the space law is still weak."
The space law came from Void Shadow, a divine power, unlike the pure law understanding of the Heart of Time.
He thought for a moment, opened the system store, and found something.
Heart of Space.
Price: 12,000 Villain Points.
Su Changyu's mouth twitched, but he endured the pain and exchanged for it.
He immediately absorbed the Heart of Space.
"This should complete it."
After absorbing the Heart of Space, Su Changyu's domain was perfected, and his overall power increased more than twofold.

"With the second evolution of the Dao Bone, I can now stand toe-to-toe with a Heavenly Emperor Realm. If I use both time and space powers..."
Although he hadn't confronted one directly, Su Changyu was confident that if he faced someone like Elder Li, he could win.
"It's time to go."
He had 2,000 Villain Points left and didn't plan to use them all at once. There might be other uses for them.
After finishing his cultivation, Su Changyu stepped out of the chamber and walked into the courtyard.
Immediately, Su Jiuling approached him.
With her was Xiao Jiu, who had red hair.
Her face was like a lotus flower, her red hair was like flames, her delicate nose exquisite, and her beauty carried a hint of youthful charm.
"You're Xiao Jiu?" Su Changyu was a bit surprised.
His surprise wasn't because Xiao Jiu had taken a human form, but because of her attributes.
[Name: Xiao Jiu
Constitution: Nine Nether Bloodline
Destiny Level: Four Stars]
A four-star fate, the treatment of a protagonist!
"Hehe~ Master, are you stunned?" Xiao Jiu said proudly.
Her human form was so beautiful that even Su Jiuling said she was the most beautiful, naturally capable of captivating her master.
"Not bad."
Even though she was pretty, Su Changyu had seen many beauties and was somewhat immune.
"System, what's going on?"
[The Nine Nether Dark Sparrow has recognized you as its master, and her fortune is now linked to yours]
So, by associating with him, she had obtained a four-star destiny?
However, the Nine Nether Dark Sparrow was a primordial spirit, and its fortune was inherently high. Recognizing a master made sense.
Su Changyu planned to train... ahem, nurture her well, to fully utilize the role of a four-star fate character.
There were two months until the Great Ancient Battlefield. Su Changyu planned to prepare thoroughly.
It was worth mentioning that Zhuge Wanqing had gone to the place he mentioned and successfully obtained the Heavenly Secret Art inheritance.
With the help of Elder Lin, she established the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
However, since it was newly established, developing it into a major force would take some time, mainly due to a lack of talent. Su Changyu didn't want to involve the Su family's internal members.
Later, Elder Li informed him that he had found the talents he needed.
As a hidden giant, the Su family could easily find capable orphans in the Zhongtian continent, even though Su Changyu had placed restrictions on their surnames.
"Good thing I restricted the surnames." Su Changyu looked at the gathered orphans, ranging from seven to eighteen years old, each with childish innocence and unease.
He had casually instructed Elder Li to find people, and the latter had impressively gathered over a thousand in just a month. Without restrictions on surnames and orphan status, an entire city wouldn't be enough.
The reason for needing orphans was simple: they were easier to control, and according to the principle that the protagonist's 'parents sacrificing for power' is a common trope, the chances of finding someone with a destined fate among them were higher.
From a probability perspective, a thousand wasn't a large number.
Su Changyu scanned the group, and felt a bit disappointed.
"Young Master, are you satisfied?" Elder Li asked nervously.
Su Changyu shook his head, "Is this all?"
Elder Li smiled bitterly, understanding that young master wasn't satisfied, "Oh, right... there is one more. But he's not an orphan, he was kicked out of his family and had his engagement annulled."
Su Changyu's eyelid twitched.
With such good conditions, why didn't you bring him out earlier!
"Hurry up and bring him here!"
Elder Li obeyed and brought Xiao Huo forward.
[Name: Xiao Huo
Bloodline Constitution: Fire Dao Body
Destiny Level: Two Stars]
Su Changyu laughed, "He's the one!"
Xiao Huo, a member of the Xiao family in Utuo City.
Su Changyu hadn't expected to find a destined individual so quickly. The world was truly full of wonders.
Though Xiao Huo hadn't received a ring, and the Xiao family wasn't a remnant of some ancient clan, the destiny level didn't lie. With proper training, Xiao Huo could grow into a pillar of the Su family.
Moreover, capturing a destined individual who hadn't yet grown was too easy!
[Xiao Huo feels deep loyalty to the host. You obtained 100 Villain Points]
"Just a few discarded divine powers from the Su family made him so happy."
Su Changyu shook his head, but it didn't matter as long as he was useful.
"Young Master," Su Jiuling said, "the family head has sent a letter, asking you to return to the Su family to confirm the position of future family head."
Su Changyu nodded.
The future family head was different from the young master.
Though he was the young master, the Su family had many factions.
After developing for hundreds of thousands of years, the family tree was vast, with countless descendants.
"Speaking of which, I think I have a younger sister." Su Changyu suddenly remembered an important matter.
-To be continued!
