Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 42: The Invincible Heavenly Emperor of the Future, Ninth Princess of the Changsheng Imperial Court

“Qingge, now you ought to believe in the charm of your husband, right?” Su Changsheng quipped, playfully pinching Gu Qingge’s cheeks as he noticed her astonished expression.

“Heh, I suppose you’ve fallen for the superficial charm, just like a naive little girl,” Gu Qingge retorted coldly, though she couldn’t deny Su Changsheng’s appeal. She remained determined not to acknowledge his charm and defended her stance.

“Just as you fooled a little girl!” Gu Qingge added, but Bai Yuege quickly interjected, “But Brother Changsheng didn’t fool me. I chose to be with him willingly!” Bai Yuege’s sincere gaze conveyed her conviction.

Gu Qingge felt exasperated, realizing Bai Yuege was now under Su Changsheng’s sway, mirroring his behavior. Her initial plan of winning over Bai Yuege to oppose Su Changsheng had failed.

“Hahaha…” Su Changsheng laughed joyfully, relishing Gu Qingge’s surrender. He hadn’t felt this content in a while.

“Humph!” Gu Qingge huffed, though her expression masked any true anger. Instead, an odd sense of contentment washed over her. This interaction put her at ease, even evoking a hint of infatuation.

Comparing this to her past life of hardships and conflict, she oddly found herself drawn to this situation. She contemplated her feelings and acknowledged a growing fondness for Su Changsheng, the audacious rogue.

“Qingge, do you know how to activate the Samsara Dao Pupil?” Su Changsheng inquired, raising an eyebrow.

The Samsara Dao Pupil… Gu Qingge pondered.

She knew this trait from her past life as an Empress, associated with the Samsara Heavenly Emperor who achieved immortality.

“I’m not entirely certain. In the future, a remarkable individual will possess the Samsara Dao Pupil. Still, their specifics are unknown,” Gu Qingge explained, shifting her demeanor when recalling her Empress role, appearing more aloof and disdainful towards Su Changsheng. Naturally, Su Changsheng often corrected her with stern lessons, reminding her of her place.

“But it’s said to require the Samsara Divine Water for activation, and it will appear near the True Saint Continent soon,” Gu Qingge noted. “Groups like the Changsheng Imperial Court should have access to it.”

Su Changsheng contemplated the significance of the Samsara Divine Water, aware of its immense value.

“Perhaps we should focus on awakening the Primordial Dao Embryo for now,” Su Changsheng decided, not wanting to provoke the Samsara Divine Water or the Changsheng Imperial Court.

“Who possesses the Primordial Dao Embryo and Samsara Dao Pupil?” Gu Qingge inquired with intrigue.

“Her name is Su Ziyuan,” Su Changsheng revealed.

The next day, accompanied by Gu Qingge and Bai Yuege, Su Changsheng visited Su Ziyuan’s palace. Su Ziyuan expressed both eagerness and unease upon their arrival.

“Senior Changsheng… they…” Su Ziyuan’s enthusiasm waned as she noticed Gu Qingge and Bai Yuege by Su Changsheng’s side. She envied their status as his wives and felt a tinge of jealousy.

“Just call them sisters, Gu Qingge and Bai Yuege,” Su Changsheng suggested, aiming for a harmonious dynamic.

“Sisters?” Bai Yuege’s eyes lit up, thrilled at the idea.

Rolling her eyes, Gu Qingge remained silent.

“Ziyuan, meet your sisters!” Su Changsheng introduced.

Su Ziyuan gave a coy greeting, blushing, “Nice to meet you both, sisters!”

“Now, I’ll help awaken your constitution,” Su Changsheng declared, the atmosphere growing serious as he prepared to assist Su Ziyuan in her awakening.

Boom!

Su Changsheng meticulously arranged multiple layers of formations inside the palace, guiding Su Ziyuan through awakening her constitution. The palace was engulfed in a dazzling celestial light display, rivaling the spectacle that had occurred with Gu Qingge.

Su Changsheng’s experience showed as he managed to control the phenomenon better this time, containing its reach to tens of thousands of miles. Nonetheless, the sight was astounding and stirred awe among the witnesses.

Tens of thousands of miles away from the Su family’s domain, an imposing divine ship traversed the skies, adorned with myriad divine lights. On the ship fluttered a grand flag emblazoned with the character “Changsheng,” emanating a powerful aura that could span eras.

Across the heavenly realm and divine domains, none dared to employ the “Changsheng” flag, which symbolized the Changsheng Imperial Court’s authority.

On the divine ship, numerous formidable figures emanated an aura similar to slumbering fierce beasts, their presence inducing unease even among saints.

An influential figure on the ship stirred awake, surprise in her eyes as she focused on the phenomenon tens of thousands of miles away. The unfolding splendor seemed to hint at an unparalleled prodigy’s birth.

“It appears the territory we’ve targeted is experiencing extraordinary phenomena. Could it signify the rise of a peerless genius?” she murmured.

“What’s happening?”

Her musings were interrupted by a melodious voice resonating within the ship, youthful yet carrying regal authority.

“Report to the Ninth Princess, the Su family’s domain has witnessed remarkable phenomena spanning thousands of miles. It might indicate the appearance of a supreme treasure or a divine entity,” the influential figure conveyed.

She was a middle-aged woman of graceful demeanor, radiating a distinct presence despite her unremarkable beauty.

“A divine entity? The Su family produced a powerful saint, and now a divine entity might emerge. Their fortune is undeniable,” the Ninth Princess quipped, her tone playful.

“This is intriguing!”

“Now, I’m eager to meet this Su Changsheng, who has recently caused quite a stir. I can’t deny my curiosity,” the Ninth Princess declared, exuding authority.

“Auntie Ye, approach me!”

The Ninth Princess commanded, her voice resonating with power.

“Yes!”
