683: Break the curse

Seeing Su Chen carefully sizing up the surroundings, Ancestor Wu didn't dare say a word. Like a startled fawn, she looked around in panic.

She was terrified that the curse would descend in the next moment, and she would die once again.

After observing for a good while, Su Chen did not sense the appearance of the power of the curse, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In truth, using a Shielding Card was never a permanent solution. Ten million years was simply too short and meant nothing in the long run. One must realize that after accumulating for such a long time, he could only maintain the shield for ten million years. If that time passed, Ancestor Wu would surely die.

But now that they had entered the Xuanhuang Realm, these problems were no longer issues.

Ancestor Wu would be fine.

Su Chen's voice was calm: "This is a world I created myself. You don't have to worry about being threatened by the power of the curse here."

What?!

A world he created himself!?

Ancestor Wu's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with disbelief. She could feel that although the Power of the Great Dao in this world wasn't strong, the myriad daos were extremely complete. What kind of terrifying strength was required to create a world all by oneself?

Although there were people who could create worlds during the Primordial Era, those worlds were all fragmented and incomplete, completely incomparable to the world before her eyes.

Not just Ancestor Wu, even Mu Xin had a look of shock on her face.

The act of creating a world was simply too terrifying.

Su Chen, however, had a calm expression: "Let's go, I'll help you get familiar with this place."

After saying that, he pulled Mu Xin toward a nearby city. This place was under the jurisdiction of the Great Qian Empire. Recently, the Great Qian Empire had been expanding its territory, and the outskirts were constantly experiencing major battles.

However, Su Chen had previously elevated everyone in the Li Family, and their combat power was extremely terrifying. Thus, the Great Qian Empire was advancing irresistibly, giving off the feeling that it was about to take control of the entire Xuanhuang Realm.

"Remember, you must follow the rules here, otherwise I'll throw you out."

Hearing Su Chen's words, Ancestor Wu felt a bit aggrieved.

Why was he so mean to her?

But she still nodded obediently: "Okay."

Her life was now entirely in Su Chen's hands. She could only be obedient and did not dare to offer the slightest resistance.

Walking through the city gates, Ancestor Wu looked around happily. She hadn't gone window-shopping or been to a crowded place in a long time.

The flow of people on the streets wasn't very heavy. Everyone was talking with smiles on their faces, getting along extremely harmoniously.

Even with two great beauties like Ancestor Wu and Mu Xin walking on the street, no one came to cause trouble. This couldn't help but make Su Chen feel very comfortable; previously when he brought Mu Xin along, no matter where they went, it was easy to attract some brainless fools.

Although there were still many people secretly staring at the two of them with burning eyes, they clearly didn't dare to cause trouble.

Su Chen could sense that the embryonic form of the Great Qian Empire's laws was gradually taking shape. The enforcement system had become tougher. If someone violated the law, the 'Statutory Law' would directly descend to administer punishment.

Of course, this only targeted Cultivators with weaker Realms.

Because too little time had passed, the current Statutory Law was not yet able to deal with powerful Cultivators. When it could handle those powerful Cultivators, that would be true national peace and prosperity.

"It's been a long time since I've been here. Let's go... get something to eat."

Ancestor Wu's face lit up instantly upon hearing this.

Eating—she loved eating the most.

The three of them randomly picked a restaurant that looked well-decorated and lively. Because of Ancestor Wu and Mu Xin, they immediately attracted many people's gazes; some people were even drooling.

In the current Xuanhuang Realm, beauties who could reach their level were incredibly rare. It was likely that not even a handful could be found in the entire Xuanhuang Realm. It would be strange if these people weren't tempted.

"Customer, what would you like to eat?"

The shopkeeper immediately walked forward with a welcoming smile, though her eyes occasionally sized up the two beauties beside Su Chen.

Su Chen didn't even look at the menu and said directly, "One of everything."

Huh?

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Alright, please wait a moment, customer."

After a short while, the dishes were brought to the table.

"Come, have a taste."

Su Chen smiled at Mu Xin: "The food here tastes quite good."

Because the Great Qian Empire had lived in peace and worked happily over these years, many industries had flourished. Take the food industry, for example: after much research by many people, more seasonings had been created, becoming even richer and more varied in flavor than the Blue Planet where Su Chen used to live.

Plus, the food here was naturally more delicious and flavorful, making the texture even better.

Mu Xin smiled faintly and immediately picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. After tasting it, her eyes lit up.

"It's delicious!"

She was something of a foodie herself and had eaten all sorts of delicacies and local specialties, but the food before her indeed tasted excellent. On a scale of one to ten, she could give it a nine.

Ancestor Wu also started using her chopsticks. After eating one piece, her eyes lit up instantly. Looking at the food on the table, she really wanted to just shove it all into her mouth, but since Su Chen was right there, she had to maintain her elegance.

Just as they were eating.

Five burly men walked in. They bore scars on their bodies, had fierce temperaments, and carried a faint scent of blood.

After entering the restaurant, they immediately looked around with fierce eyes, as if declaring their dominance and telling everyone they had arrived.

However, except for a few timid ones who were frightened, the others continued eating with calm expressions, only glancing at them occasionally without taking them seriously at all.

The shopkeeper stepped forward again and asked kindly, "What would you gentlemen like to eat?"

The leading burly man said loudly, "Bring us some of your signature dishes and some wine."

The shopkeeper smiled, turned around, and went to tell the kitchen to prepare the food.

Before long, the food was served. The group immediately began eating and drinking wildly, laughing loudly from time to time. The noise was so loud that the other guests in the restaurant couldn't help but frown.

Even the shopkeeper could no longer bear it. He immediately stepped forward: "Customers, there are other guests in this small shop. Could you please be a bit quieter? I'll have the kitchen add another dish for you later, consider it on the house."

"You son of a bitch, what are you saying? My brothers and I are chatting, what the hell does it have to do with you? Just mind your own business."

One of them immediately stood up and roared, his face full of malevolence.

The shopkeeper's face showed fear, and in the end, he didn't say anything more.

They couldn't afford to provoke such thugs. Although the rules of the Great Qian Empire were very good now, there were fish that slipped through the net under any law. They were running a business, and it was very easy for these people to affect their trade.

They didn't even need to resort to killing...
