180: Chapter 180 I'll be waiting for you in the Upper Realm! A mysterious figure from the Thousand Machine Realm!

"Mingyue, this [Water-element immortal core] will help you completely refine the rampaging power of the stars within your body. From now on, not only will you no longer have to endure the bone-eroding pain of ten thousand needles piercing your heart, but your cultivation speed will also advance by leaps and bounds."

Su Feng's voice, as gentle as jade, echoed over the Liuyun Mountain Range.

With a flick of his finger, the immortal core, which sealed a miniature ocean, transformed into a streak of light and gently merged into Tantai Mingyue's forehead.

"Buzz—!"

In an instant, a vast and sacred stellar fluctuation erupted from within the young girl!

The violent power that had originally clogged her Meridians converged obediently into her Dantian like a hundred rivers returning to the sea the moment it touched this top-grade immortal core.

A Soul-stirring deep blue divine mark condensed on her forehead, adding a touch of nobility and mystery.

"As for this [Star-Feather Rainbow Flowing Immortal Dress], it is yours."

With a casual wave of Su Feng's hand, the Medium Grade defensive Immortal Artifact, radiating brilliant divine light, drifted down in front of Tantai Mingyue.

Divine objects possess spirit and automatically recognize their masters.

Starlight poured down from the sky, completely enveloping the girl's petite frame. The coarse green robe, originally covered in mud and bloodstains, instantly turned to ash.

In its place was a starlight feather garment as light as a dream!

The divine dress clung to her delicate body, which appeared somewhat thin due to years of malnutrition but already showed the beginnings of startling curves.

At the hem of the skirt, real star fragments swayed with the breeze, rippling with circles of starlight like waves on water.

When the starlight dissipated, the completely transformed Tantai Mingyue stood gracefully in the snow.

Her skin was now crystal clear and supple.

Her eyes, which seemed to contain a miniature galaxy, exuded a sense of beauty that was pure to the extreme.

Combined with that Star-Feather Rainbow garment, how could she still be the "calamity star" despised by her Family?

She was clearly a peerless goddess descended from the Nine Heavens to the Mortal world!

Standing to the side, Su Hao held the [Purple Pole Prison-Suppressing Gauntlets], his eyes widening. He couldn't help but mutter frantically in his heart, "Good heavens... Dad's eye for beauty is too sharp! No wonder he could father such a handsome and valiant son like me..."

Su Feng looked at the masterpiece before him with satisfaction, then turned to look at his eldest son.

"Hao'er, you will gain experience in this realm and protect her while you're at it! If she loses so much as a single hair, I'll hold you accountable!"

Su Hao immediately straightened his back and thumped his chest loudly. "Don't worry, Dad! If anyone dares to lay a finger on my little mom, I'll use these Immortal Artifact gauntlets to smash their brains out!"

Hearing the term "little mom," two touching blushes instantly appeared on Tantai Mingyue's paper-pale cheeks.

She didn't object; she just lowered her head shyly, her slender fingers nervously twisting the hem of her flowing immortal dress, her heart racing like a startled deer.

"Senior..." Tantai Mingyue plucked up her courage and looked up with her galaxy-like eyes. "Are you leaving already?"

Su Feng took a step forward, his broad, warm palm gently stroking her soft, long hair, his gaze deep.

"I haven't descended in my true body, but have come through the boundary using a secret technique. If this wisp of power stays here for too long, the Heavenly Dao Laws of this Small World won't be able to withstand the pressure of my Origin. Within half an hour, the entire Cangfeng Realm would completely collapse and turn into cosmic dust."

Su Feng's tone was calm, yet it carried a supreme dominance that viewed the life and death of a world as easily as turning over his hand.

"Furthermore, you have yet to undergo the baptism of Ascension through the Laws of heaven and earth. If I were to forcibly take you to the Upper Realm now, you would be directly obliterated by the higher Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm, and even I wouldn't be able to protect your Foundation."

Su Feng gazed at her, a gentle smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"However, there's no need to rush. With the immortal core I gave you and the stellar Foundation within your body, in five years at most, you will surely trigger the Ascension summons and shatter the Void Realm."

"Mingyue, I will wait for you all in the Upper Realm."

As his voice fell, Su Feng's figure transformed into a rain of nine-colored light, slowly dissipating in the air above the Liuyun Mountain Range.

The ten-thousand-foot spatial rift he had forcibly torn open also slowly closed, as if nothing had ever happened.

Only the scorched earth and the ashes of the Tantai Family members proved that the supreme being had truly descended.

Tantai Mingyue stared blankly at the disappearing figure, letting the cold wind blow against her skirt.

She bit her moist red lips hard and silently carved that man's name into her heart—Su Feng.

"I definitely won't make you wait too long!"

"I, Tantai Mingyue, swear that in this life and world, even if my Divine Soul is extinguished, I will never let you down!"

In her heart, the girl made the most significant vow of her life.

"Ahem..."

Su Hao coughed twice from the side, breaking the silence.

He skillfully put on the purple-gold battle gauntlets and swung them casually twice, causing a piercing sonic boom to ring out in the air.

"Uh, Little Mom Mingyue, my dad has gone back. Let's go get your mother first."

Su Hao chuckled and leaped onto the back of the Purple Qilin, Xiao Bai.

Tantai Mingyue withdrew her gaze, a newfound determination appearing in her eyes.

"Okay, let's go get my mother."

Within the [taiji heaven and earth diagram].

Deep within the vast immortal manor, Spiritual Qi turned into rain, and immortal music drifted through the air.

On a large bed carved from white jade, Su Feng's closed eyes slowly opened.

"You're back?"

From beside him, a lazy and cold voice drifted over.

Ying Liuli, the goddess of the Shadow Clan from the Major Thousand Worlds, was leaning lazily on the brocade couch.

Her exquisite and graceful body was draped only in a layer of gauze as thin as a cicada's wing, faintly revealing a perfect whiteness that made one's blood boil.

Between her originally cold and proud brows, there was now an inseparable touch of charm and gentleness.

Su Feng chuckled, his palm skillfully sliding down and gently resting on Ying Liuli's flat and smooth belly.

In his perception, deep within that flat belly, a mass of life essence as terrifying as a stellar explosion was dormant!

Even though it had only just begun to take shape, the faint Law fluctuations it emitted were enough to make Heavenly Immortal Realm experts outside feel palpitations.

"Your Pure Yang Sacred Body and Ancient Heavy Pupils Bloodlines are domineering to an unreasonable degree..."

Ying Liuli felt the warmth of Su Feng's palm, and a rare maternal glow appeared on her beautiful face.

She lightly stroked the back of Su Feng's hand, her tone carrying a hint of shock and helplessness.

"This child's potential is too high. In the Major Thousand Worlds, the more Heaven-Defying the God Race Bloodline, the longer the gestation period for offspring. I can feel that at this little fellow's current rate of absorbing Chaos Origin, it will likely take at least a hundred years to fully form and be born."

"A hundred years?" Su Feng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Considering that Ying Liuli was, after all, of the God Race from the Major Thousand Worlds, and that it took Ao Cangyue ten years to give birth to the Chaos Ancestral Dragon, he felt relieved.

A hundred years was just right for the Human Race, which was currently in a recovery phase, and for Su Feng, who needed to consolidate his cultivation.

The cultivation infused by the System was too massive, and he also needed time to transform it into insights for condensing the [Great Dao Origin].

If all goes well in five years, Tantai Mingyue's Ascension will surely bring him a complete [Stellar Great Dao Origin].

At that time, he would possess his sixth Great Dao Origin.

The further he went, the more Su Feng could feel the Heaven-Defying nature of the System's "Omnipotent Origin."

The rewards for an SSS-rank goddess were indeed terrifying, and he looked forward even more to what kind of targets his second son, Su Mo, and his cousin, Su Yuan, whom he had sent to two other Small Worlds, would find for him.

...

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed...

[Qianji Realm].

This place was different from worlds where cultivation civilization flourished.

The world was filled with violent and chaotic Spiritual Qi. Mortals lived in extreme hardship, and various Empires and hidden Sects were in constant conflict, treating Mortal lives like grass.

On the border of the Great Chu Empire, inside a dilapidated Earth Deity Temple.

The cold wind whistled through the leaky walls.

On a pile of hay, a Mortal Little Girl wearing tattered hemp clothes and looking as thin as a lath lay there quietly.

She looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, her face covered in dust and grime.

Due to extreme hunger and cold, this frail body had completely lost all signs of life just an incense stick's time ago.

However, just as a cold night wind blew past.

"Buzz—!"

An extremely weak but terrifying Soul fluctuation that transcended all Daos suddenly rippled through the ruined temple!

The Mortal Little Girl, who had already stopped breathing, suddenly twitched her frostbitten fingers.

Immediately after, she suddenly snapped her eyes open!
