305: Section 305

“Today, I am not the Great Qin Emperor, but a Su Family member, bowing to the Clan Chief!!!”

Su Zheng slowly bowed.

Then he strode up Lingxiao Peak and bowed once more to Su Zhou.

“You’ve done well these years…” Su Zhou said casually, a bland remark.

Yet, it made the First Emperor feel incredibly excited.

“I only hope I haven’t failed the Clan Chief’s intentions!” Su Zheng said solemnly.

Afterward, the two chatted for a while.

“You’ve returned this time because of something, haven’t you?” Su Zhou suddenly looked at the First Emperor.

At this moment, the First Emperor’s aura and cultivation had reached Great Perfection in the Venerable Realm, just one step away from ascending to the Creation Realm.

And vaguely, it seemed as if something was restraining his Realm.

“Clan Chief, there is something I need your decision on!” Su Zheng stood up and said.

“I control the Mandate of Heaven, using my Clan’s might to suppress everything in the Northern Wasteland, achieving sole Emperor status, and then I discovered… I can awaken the Heaven of the Northern Wasteland!”

Chapter 169: The Su Family Announces to All Heavens, All Races Come to Worship Su Zhou!

Su Zheng spoke with conviction, waves of Emperor Dragon Qi emanating from his body.

Owooo!

A colossal National Luck Ancestral Dragon emerged, its entire body covered in black scales, its surroundings shimmering with cold light, and its brilliant Dragon eyes flickering with boundless chill.

The Ancestral Dragon held a crystal-clear sphere in its mouth.

That crystal sphere contained waves of unimaginably immense power.

Although that power was only a trace, it was like a fuse; once shattered, it would trigger terrifying changes.

This was the Key to Luo Heaven. After the First Emperor took control of the Mandate of Heaven and transformed the Luo Heaven Mandate into the Imperial Seal, the National Luck Ancestral Dragon somehow captured this Key to Luo Heaven in the ethereal Realm.

Afterward, the First Emperor discovered its hidden secret.

He found that this Key to Luo Heaven could open the legendary Luo Heaven, which had disappeared as early as the Divine Era!

Among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Northern Wasteland had the lowest status precisely because the Northern Wasteland had no Heaven!

This ‘Heaven’ did not refer to the sky above, but to the Heavenly Realm that transcended the sky.

Any Cultivator whose cultivation surpassed the True God Realm needed to comprehend the fundamental Dao of Heaven and Earth. Except for Emperor Province, the Laws and Dao of the other lands were more or less incomplete.

Among them, the Laws and Dao of the Northern Wasteland were the most severely incomplete, simply because the other lands had Heavenly Realms above them, which could complete their Dao Laws.

Stronger individuals could even ascend to the Heavenly Realm, forging various magnificent Dao and experiencing the pure Dao of Heaven and Earth.

However, the Northern Wasteland had no Heaven; its Heaven and Earth rules were incomplete, and its Dao was not whole. Therefore, in the Northern Wasteland, Venerable Realm existences were already considered top-tier combat power.

As for those in the Creation Realm, they had long been Sealed within Divine Sources, not to be released easily unless the Family faced annihilation.

True God existences were even rarer; apart from a few of the most ancient aristocratic Families and those almost unsealable Divine Sources, True Gods were virtually nonexistent.

This was why the entire Northern Wasteland was so fearful of the Su Family.

The strongest combat power in your eyes, Venerables—almost every member of the Su Family’s hundred great sequences is a Venerable, and even True God powerhouses, and the legendary Dao Lords, are merely revered figures in the Su Family.

With such combat power, if the Su Family willed it, they could directly overturn the entire Northern Wasteland. Even annihilating all the aristocratic Families of the Northern Wasteland would likely be no difficult task.

The reason why cultivation was so difficult for the beings of the Northern Wasteland was precisely because Luo Heaven was absent.

Now, the First Emperor had acquired this Luo Heaven, but he did not choose to open it directly.

Instead, he chose to return to the Clan, in his capacity as Su Zheng, a Su Family member, to report to Su Zhou.

He also had his own considerations.

Currently, the Su Family held the top position in the entire Northern Wasteland. Su Family Disciples alone could sweep across the Northern Wasteland. The reason for this, aside from the Prodigy-level talent of the Su Family Disciples, was more importantly the extremely abundant Spiritual Qi within the Lingxiao Realm.

It was several times more abundant than the outside world.

An ordinary Cultivator breathing here for a moment was equivalent to cultivating for several days outside.

But once Luo Heaven opened, the Spiritual Qi of the Northern Wasteland would certainly revive. At that time, the Su Family’s advantage might cease to exist.

Su Zheng cautiously reported his thoughts to Su Zhou.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhou’s lips curved into a slight smile.

He looked at the First Emperor and said, “You are thoughtful, but you also overthink.”

“However, I do understand. As an Emperor, to have thoughts like silk, endlessly flowing, is a good thing…”

“But… Su Zheng, do you really think my Su Family would fear these things?”

“My Su Family Disciples are never inferior to others in their lives! Even if placed on the same starting line, what is there to fear?!”

“What’s more… what difference is there between the Northern Wasteland and my Su Family’s backyard?”

“The opening of Luo Heaven is a good thing…”

Su Zhou casually sipped the clear tea in his cup.

His words were filled with undisguised dominance. In his mouth, the entire Northern Wasteland was merely the Su Family’s backyard.

This statement seemed casual, but it was brimming with boundless confidence.

Yes!

With the Su Family’s current strength, the entire Northern Wasteland was nothing more than the Su Family’s backyard. The reason he could achieve such a Realm and thoroughly implement the Emperor’s Road and the Human Emperor’s Dao in the Northern Wasteland, aside from his own strength, was more importantly that he had the Su Family as his backing.

Thinking of this, Su Zheng couldn’t help but show a wry smile.

Even though Heaven and Earth hailed him as the First Emperor, and even though his current achievements on the Emperor’s Road surpassed all of history, the Clan Chief remained an existence he could never hope to reach.

Even now, he still couldn’t see Su Zhou’s back.

He vaguely remembered that he had embarked on this path to help the Family and the Clan Chief.

But only now did he realize that the gap between himself and Clan Chief Su Zhou had not only failed to narrow but had become even more insurmountable.

“I was overthinking…” Su Zheng said with a wry smile.

“Also, in what capacity are you speaking to me now?” Su Zhou put down his teacup and looked at Su Zheng with piercing eyes.

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but when it fell into Su Zheng’s ears, it felt as if the entire Heaven and Earth had been overturned.

The National Luck Ancestral Dragon behind him instinctively wanted to protect him.

But the next moment!!!

The National Luck Ancestral Dragon let out a mournful cry.

Rumble!!!

Su Zheng followed the source of the sound and saw that above his head.

Throughout the entire Lingxiao Small World, an immeasurably vast Su Family’s Qi Luck Gold Dragon was prostrate on the firmament, as if Heaven and Earth were merely its nest.

It coiled there, its golden eyes reflecting the brilliance of myriad worlds.

Every scale on its body emitted an unimaginable amount of Luck.

If it were to fall into the mortal world, just one scale

would be enough for an ordinary aristocratic Family to rise spectacularly within a few years!

In front of the Su Family’s Qi Luck Gold Dragon, the National Luck Ancestral Dragon behind Su Zheng appeared so tiny.

In fact, the Ancestral Dragon eventually transformed into a wisp of Dragon Qi and hid in Su Zheng’s embrace.

“Oh? It seems Great Qin has indeed been governed well by you. The National Luck Divine Beast has actually developed a hint of sentience. Interesting.”

Su Zhou said with interest.

However, upon hearing this, the National Luck Ancestral Dragon trembled directly in Su Zheng’s embrace.

This National Luck Ancestral Dragon, which dared to accompany the First Emperor and fight against all Heavens, was like a pet in front of Su Zhou.

Su Zheng used his true essence to comfort the Ancestral Dragon.

Then, he looked at the Su Family’s Qi Luck Gold Dragon with emotion.

This was the Su Family’s Luck, having become a Heaven-devouring Dragon, gazing upon all Heavens!

The reason he could achieve what he had today was probably also due to the Clan’s Luck. He was also from Tianwu City.

He understood how desolate the Su Family once was, and the reason such a terrifying Su Family’s Qi Luck Gold Dragon could be born now.

It must all be due to the unfathomable methods of the Clan Chief before him.

Thinking of this, Su Zheng also said directly, “Today, I am not the Great Qin Emperor, but a Su Family Disciple, Su Zheng!”

“Good… Su Zheng!! When you governed Tianwu City, you were already in the Su Family!”

“When speaking with me, why do you still need to hide things? If what you wanted to say was only that matter just now, I don’t think you would have needed to go to such great lengths…”

“Furthermore… to flatter me in such a low-level way, little Su Zheng… do you want to try the Su Family’s Family rules?”

Su Zhou said unhurriedly.
