Chapter 88:


Su Changyu suddenly realized he had overlooked something very important: he had a sister. She was technically his cousin from his third granduncle's line because her father had married into the Su family. Her name was Su Ling'er. From a young age, she was exceptionally talented, surpassing her peers in both aptitude and cultivation.

Moreover, Su Ling'er had a unique bone in her body that contained the essence of the Dao. This was different from the Dao Bone physique; her bone contained divine powers. Throughout history, those who possessed such a bone were unparalleled in their generation, known as Young Supreme. Hence, this bone was named the 'Supreme Bone,' signifying innate supremacy and invincibility.

Su Changyu almost forgot about this because Su Ling'er rarely appeared in public.

Three years ago, a relative attempted to extract her Supreme Bone.

Although Su Changyu’s father prevented the plot, it left Su Ling'er disheartened and distrustful of outsiders. However, in his memories, they had a good relationship as children.

"My sister has the potential of an emperor." Su Changyu thought, stroking his chin. "As a villain, how could I let such talent slip by?"

"Young Master, Miss Nangong has arrived at the foot of the mountain." Old Li's voice interrupted his thoughts.

After gathering the first batch of 'orphans,' Old Li had entrusted the follow-up tasks to his subordinates and focused on protecting Su Changyu.

"Bring her up." Su Changyu said after a brief contemplation. Nangong Yun had contacted him immediately after leaving the Abyss of Heaven.

Shortly, she walked into the courtyard.

Despite not having seen her for many days, Nangong Yun looked the same, but her aura had grown more captivating. She wore a light yellow dress, and her black hair flowed like a waterfall. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with joy, and her cherry lips curved into a slight smile.

"Greetings, my lord." Nangong Yun said, bowing.

Su Changyu was somewhat surprised. "It seems you had quite an opportunity."

During the Sword Discussion among the Hundred Sects, Nangong Yun had awakened her Lunar Physique and, after refining the Extreme Yin Qi, advanced to the Divine Ability Realm.

Despite the Lunar Physique's unparalleled cultivation speed, in just a few months, her cultivation had reached the Transcendent Realm, crossing two major realms. Su Changyu also noticed a special Dao rhythm faintly circulating around her.

Nangong Yun explained, "During my journey in the Abyss, I accidentally ventured deep inside and received the legacy of a Pill Master. I successfully condensed the Extreme Yin Flame and stepped into the Dao of Alchemy. According to the Pill Master, I have the greatest alchemy talent she has ever seen. It would be a waste if I didn't pursue alchemy."

Su Changyu hadn't expected the Extreme Yin Qi to have applications in alchemy, making this an unexpected gain.

"I inherited the senior's legacy and promised to restore her sect's former glory." Nangong Yun continued.

"Which sect?" Su Changyu asked.

"The Danqing Pavilion." she replied.

Su Changyu understood. The Danqing Pavilion was once a top alchemy force on the Zhongtian Continent. However, after its sect master disappeared, it fell into chaos and eventually became fragmented. Today, it was barely considered a second-rate force.

Nangong Yun must have inherited the legacy of that sect master.

Su Changyu pondered briefly. "Although the Danqing Pavilion is no longer as glorious, its legacy spans thousands of years and it still has a considerable reputation. If you can control it, that would be beneficial."

"Do you mean..." Nangong Yun was surprised. She thought Su Changyu would disdain such a small sect and wouldn't want her involved.

Su Changyu smiled. "The influence of alchemy cannot be underestimated. Yun'er, I will have the Su family support you in gaining control of the Danqing Pavilion."

"Thank you, my lord! I will not disappoint you." Nangong Yun said with determination.

"Alright, we will discuss this later. For now, come with me." Su Changyu said.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"Back to the Su family," he replied.

Nangong Yun's heart skipped a beat. Was she about to meet his family?

The Hidden Su Family resided deep within the mountains of the Zhongtian Continent's Inner Domain. Within a vast barrier that covered the sky, thousands of grand formations supported floating immortal mountains amidst the clouds. Radiant light soared to the heavens, purple mist rose, and waterfalls flowed like rivers of stars. Celestial birds flew, and ancient beasts roared.

From above, the landscape was dotted with floating mountains, numerous pavilions, and interconnected grand formations, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring scene.

Amidst the mountains, streams of light occasionally streaked by, carrying various messages.

In such a grand family, unless something significant occurred, family matters were handled with simplicity, and orders were methodically passed down. Any large-scale mobilization indicated an extraordinary event.

At this moment, a single piece of news was circulating among the mountains: "The Su family is finally going to decide on the future family head!"

This news sparked discussions among the disciples from various branches.

"It must be the young master."

"I heard the young master killed the Holy Son of the Ancient Moon Sect and is regarded as the Young Supreme of this generation!"

"Young Supreme! Such a title hasn't appeared in years."

"There should be no other contenders now."

"It's hard to say. Su Ling'er has already reached the Heavenly Saint Realm. With her talent and the ancestor's guidance, she might still compete."

The position of the family head must be earned by convincing everyone.

The Su family was vast and never short of talents. Su Ling'er was previously acknowledged as the family's foremost genius.

"Is this the Su family?" Nangong Yun, standing on the flying boat, was in awe as she gazed around. The sight of the immortal mountains and giant beasts left her stunned. Despite both being reclusive families, the Nangong family was worlds apart from the Su family. One had to see it to believe it.

"Even my father wouldn't be able to fathom the Su family's strength." Nangong Yun thought.

Strength, how strong? The disparity was beyond imagination. Nangong Yun felt her mind reeling.

"And this is just the outside. It gets even more impressive inside." Su Changyu remarked with a smile. In terms of grandeur, the Su family surpassed even the Great Holy Sect. Unlike the complex and dense Great Holy Sect, a family like the Su family was a single lineage, and everywhere one went, there were kin.

Su Changyu had Xiao Jiu escort Nangong Yun to his mountain and then headed to the main peak.

"Young Master has returned!"

Soon, everyone in the various branches knew of his arrival. Su Changyu stepped onto the main peak and entered the grand hall.

A warm voice greeted him: "Changyu, you’re back."

The grand hall was majestic and imposing, without extravagant decorations, but filled with a myriad of Daoist elements, exuding a powerful aura.

Clearly, it was an extraordinary artifact.

In the hall, Su Haotian, wearing an ancient gray robe, stood tall and imposing, his gaze serene, like a deity overlooking the mortal realm. As the Su family head, his cultivation had long reached the Divine Realm. Every gesture radiated the power of the Dao, with sacred symbols of the Dao constantly surrounding him.

Seeing Su Changyu enter, Su Haotian's face softened.

"Father." Su Changyu greeted him respectfully.

Su Haotian showed a look of approval. "Excellent. With your Dao bone and title as Young Supreme, Changyu, you have not disappointed me."

Although Su Changyu had joined the Great Holy Sect, his achievements were modest. He was often seen trailing behind women. If not for his formidable master, Su Haotian would have called him back long ago. Who would have thought that in less than half a year, Su Changyu would transform, becoming the Young Supreme of his generation, suppressing all others.

The more Su Haotian thought about it, the happier he became. "Wonderful! My son has the potential of an emperor."

Su Changyu was speechless internally. "Father, is that all you aspire to? The emperor is just the beginning."

"Father, why the urgency in deciding the future family head?" Su Changyu asked.

Su Haotian sighed. "It’s because of your cousin."

"What happened to her? Did someone try to extract her bone again?"

"Her cultivation has reached the Heavenly King Realm. Her innate divine abilities have awakened, and she needs a special primordial fire to assist in her cultivation. Recently, she requested to absorb the Golden Emperor Heaven Flame. You know her master dotes on her and personally came to me about it. It’s a difficult situation." Su Haotian explained.

-To be continued!
