314: Section 314

“A single life, a single path… how laughable…”

The Yaoguang Saint Lord sneered, then slowly sat down. Behind him, a winding Great Dao materialized, then transformed into a throne for him to sit upon.

The entire Great Dao submitted before him like an obedient pet. He wasn't walking on the Dao; instead, he had…

Completely mastered a Great Dao!!!

“The Su Family… will serve as the perfect first stepping stone for me to ascend the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths…”

The Yaoguang Saint Lord’s voice was neither loud nor soft.

Yet, his words were filled with killing intent.

Drip…

Drip, drip…

Countless crimson, twisted drops of blood wantonly stained the magnificent Great Dao beneath him.

“Yes… the Su Family… is indeed a good stepping stone…”

A slimy, nauseating voice echoed from the end of his Great Dao…

.....

The first day of the twelfth lunar month.

The Northern Barren Lands were covered in snow, a vast expanse of white obscuring the world, as if to cleanse everything.

As the morning sun gradually rose, Su Zhou stood on Lingxiao Peak, blending with the light.

Once upon a time, the Su Family struggled to survive in Tianwu City, a burden that weighed heavily on Su Zhou.

He walked in that twilight, becoming a part of it, and also forged that twilight into an immortal brilliance.

“Su Family, today… the Family Founding Ceremony!!”

Chapter 173: At this moment, all Prodigies of the Myriad Realms are but stepping stones for the Su Family!

Within Guan City, Cultivators from various forces seemed to sense something.

“It’s here!!”

“Lingxiao Realm opens!!”

A True God expert whispered.

The next moment!!

Rumble!

Crack!!

Sounds of shattering echoed, as if some sacred and extraordinary existence was being born.

“Oh my God!! What is that?!”

“Is this the power of the Su Family?!”

“I can feel the Law within me calling out to me!”

“My Dao yearns to step upon it!”

Cultivators looked up at the sky. Although they came from major forces, their Faces were filled with shock and anticipation.

It was as if they had seen some magnificent and sacred treasure.

Some Cultivators who had only recently grasped their own Dao were even unable to suppress their Laws.

Various phenomena appeared on their bodies.

A Saint from an ancient Holy Land looked at the sky, his voice trembling slightly as he said, “The Su Family’s foundation is actually so terrifying!

Is there such an Opportunity just for entering the realm?”

The Saint was utterly shocked, his divine eyes wide open.

Reflected within them was the magnificent scene unfolding in the sky.

At this moment, the sky above the Northern Barren Lands appeared irregularly shattered.

A dazzling staircase descended, covered in pure Law and Dao.

Boundless Spiritual Qi was nurtured within it, and rules, like misty clouds, swirled around the staircase in chaotic yet orderly fashion.

Sacred, magnificent—these words continuously appeared in the eyes of all the visiting major forces in Guan City.

Even True God existences couldn't help but want to step onto it and experience that magnificent splendor.

Because their instincts were calling; even if they stepped onto this staircase, there would be many benefits.

“To all who have traveled far to witness my Su Family’s ceremony, I, Su, thank you all!”

“Therefore, so as not to disappoint the Prodigies of the Heavens, all beings who have cultivated for less than a thousand years may ascend to my clan through the Lingdao Sky Ladder!”

“Other visiting guests may directly ascend to my Lingxiao Realm…”

A majestic voice slowly resounded.

At the end of Guan City, a magnificent figure walked slowly. Behind him, it seemed as if there were sun, moon, stars, and all the Myriad Dao.

He merely stood there, causing countless beings to tremble.

Even the Dao Lord Giants, who had always remained hidden, emerged from their respective forces.

To show respect.

Simply because the magnificent figure who appeared at this moment was named Su Zhou.

The Clan Chief of the Emperor Clan Su Family, the only Sword Emperor of this era, the only person in history to have annihilated a forbidden zone.

In Guan City, all those who carried swords at their waists bowed deeply, performing a half-master’s Thank you.

“We Sword Cultivators, greet the Sword Emperor!”

“We Sword Cultivators, pay respects to the Sword Emperor!!”

One by one, the Sword Cultivators spoke in unison, their eyes filled with worship and reverence.

As the Clan Chief of the Su Family, he should appear at such a time, regardless of the intentions of these guests.

But ultimately, they were all giving the Su Family Face by attending the Family Founding Ceremony.

Their private, impure thoughts aside, these superficial formalities must be fully observed.

“Greetings, everyone!” Su Zhou nodded slightly.

The leading Giants of the other major forces also smiled lightly at Su Zhou.

Expressing goodwill.

“Then, everyone, let us proceed, and see what kind of surprises these Prodigies of the Heavens can bring us…”

Su Zhou raised his hand slightly.

The Lingxiao Realm instantly revealed beams of welcoming light.

These lights seemed to possess sentience, illuminating all Cultivators who could not step onto the Lingdao Sky Ladder.

The next moment.

The figures of countless Cultivators vanished within the welcoming light.

Then, when they opened their eyes, they felt as if they were in an immortal realm.

Boundless, pure Spiritual Qi, almost complete Dao Laws, and various buildings and wonders exuding profound auras.

The Cultivators observing the ceremony couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

“Is this the Su Family’s Lingxiao Realm?! What pure Spiritual Qi! What grade of Spiritual Vein does the Su Family possess, to be several times purer than my own clan’s?!”

“Hiss! They say the Northern Barren Lands are without heaven, but this Su Family’s Lingxiao Realm is practically another heaven! The Su Family truly is like the heaven of these Northern Barren Lands!!”

“What is that?!” A Cultivator cried out in alarm.

They saw a figure radiating auspicious and brilliant light emerging. It stood quietly, and around it, waves of auspicious Karma continuously appeared.

Two small sparrows stood quietly on an ancient tree.

One exuded a terrifying aura capable of tearing space, while the other was bathed in golden light, sacred and extraordinary.

In the void, vast beings slowly swam. If one looked closely, they could see nine incredibly powerful illusory figures playing.

And all of this was merely superficial; the deeper existences were something they couldn't truly discern.

But what they could clearly see was already enough to shock them.

A Cultivator from an ancient Family widened his eyes, a thick book appearing in his hand.

Ancient auras flickered within it.

“Historian Zhou Yuan.” Someone recognized the Cultivator’s identity.

This person was an envoy from a Hidden Family, carrying an ancient historical book that recorded most of the secrets of the Zhou Heavens.

At this moment, Historian Zhou Yuan’s eyes never left the auspicious creature.

The mysterious historical book in his hand also flipped rapidly.
