The Might of a Saint, Anomalies Between Heaven and Earth

The Saint Realm: the Great Dao reached perfection, all things became indestructible, and one possessed boundless might.

Su Chen directly peered into the Heavenly Dao, seeking to investigate his closest blood relatives.

But very soon, his brows furrowed. He could not find anything at all.

How was that possible?!

There were only two possible explanations for this: either his mother was already dead, or someone more powerful than him was concealing her.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Whether she was alive or dead, he had to find out for certain.

Yet as he continued his investigation, Su Chen still found nothing. However, he could now confirm that it was because a powerful expert was hiding her that he could not investigate further.

Because when he tried to investigate his mother, he learned absolutely nothing.

Under normal circumstances, even if his mother had died, he should still have been able to find her.

"Use cultivation: one hundred thousand years."

Since his current cultivation was insufficient, then he would simply raise it further.

"Does the host wish to suppress the fluctuations of your cultivation?"

The system's icy voice rang out in his mind. Without hesitation, Su Chen chose to suppress them.

The aura around Su Chen immediately began to rise.

"Breakthrough: Late Saint... Saint Perfection... Early Saint King Realm... Middle Saint King Realm... Late Saint King Realm."

This hundred thousand years of cultivation had only allowed him to break through one major realm.

Su Chen's brows creased slightly as he spoke again. "Use two million years of cultivation."

His aura began to rise once more, at an incomparably rapid speed. It was as though he had cultivated it himself, with no aftereffects whatsoever.

"Peak Saint King Realm... Early Saint Emperor Realm... Middle Saint Emperor Realm... Peak Saint Emperor Realm... Early Postnatal Ancient Holy... Peak Postnatal Ancient Holy... Early Ancient Holy."

These two million years of cultivation had raised Su Chen's realm by two major stages.

At this moment, Su Chen felt as though he could do anything, as if heaven and earth themselves were under his control.

His Divine Soul spread out, instantly enveloping the entire Eastern Domain. Matters great and small alike poured into his mind, and the whole Eastern Domain held not the slightest secret before him.

If he wished, he could destroy the entire Eastern Domain with a mere raise of his hand.

So this was an Ancient Holy?

Su Chen investigated again, and this time, he finally received a faint response from his bloodline.

He had found her!

After reaching such a realm, he naturally came to understand many things about heaven and earth.

Above the Ancient Holy, there was another realm: the Supreme Sage!

Beyond that was the Emperor Realm, which was divided into three stages: Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor, and Ancient Emperor.

However, the most recent expert in this world to reach the Emperor Tier had vanished without a trace hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Just as Su Chen was about to search with all his strength, the surrounding void suddenly began to collapse, the destruction continuously spreading outward.

Heaven and earth seemed utterly incapable of bearing Su Chen's power. If he forcibly continued his investigation, an area spanning a million li would likely be reduced to nothingness.

What was going on?

Su Chen frowned deeply. Was the Heavenly Dao of this world truly so weak?

Yet he quickly withdrew his consciousness and began considering how he could find his mother.

Using his full strength would cause the void to collapse, countless living beings to perish, and perhaps even more than half of the Eastern Domain to fall into ruin.

But if he did not search with his full strength, he would be unable to determine where his mother was.

After pondering for a long while, Su Chen ultimately decided to let it go.

Since his mother was still alive and such a powerful cultivator was concealing her, it meant that she would not encounter trouble anytime soon.

Although Su Chen had not discovered his mother's exact location, he could be certain that she was within the Xuantian Realm. As long as she remained in the Xuantian Realm, they would meet sooner or later.

Moreover, anyone capable of preventing his investigation clearly possessed cultivation no lower than early Ancient Holy.

With such formidable strength, finding them within the Xuantian Realm would not be difficult. It would only take some time.

But... what was going on with this Heavenly Dao?

Su Chen focused and sensed the power of the Heavenly Dao within the Xuantian Realm. He always felt that it was faint as a dying breath, like an old man on his last legs.

"Wooo!"

A strange sound suddenly entered Su Chen's mind, while the power of the Heavenly Dao around him surged without cease.

"This is!?"

Su Chen's entire body trembled, his eyes filled with gravity.

The Heavenly Dao had seemed to be communicating with him just now, like a beast begging a human for help. That sound carried an incredibly rich range of emotions.

Pleading, despair, pain.

When he tried to investigate further, however, the power of the Heavenly Dao around him had vanished without a trace. He could no longer sense anything.

What exactly was going on?!

Su Chen's brows drew together sharply. It seemed that some great upheaval had occurred within the Xuantian Realm.

Even the former Su Chen had been completely unaware of this. Had he not wanted to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to investigate the bloodline of his close relatives, he likely would not have noticed that something was wrong with the Heavenly Dao.

Strange. Inexplicably strange.

He always felt that this world was hiding some secret.

Even Su Chen, who had once been a Saint, had noticed nothing. Only after breaking through to Ancient Holy and deeply probing the Heavenly Dao did he gain a faint sense of it.

Afterward, Su Chen carefully investigated again, but still found nothing.

How peculiar!

Unable to obtain an answer, Su Chen could only abandon the matter.

As for his mother, there was no need for him to search for her at all.

Those people had issued a mission through the Dark Sentinel. Once they learned where the Su Family was, they would likely come to destroy the Su Family at once.

Interesting.

Su Chen wore a smile. If everything were calm and uneventful, that would be no fun at all.

In any case, he had many trump cards. If all else failed, he could use all his cultivation at once. Ten billion years of cultivation would be enough to raise him to an utterly terrifying level.

And if that still was not enough, he still had Xu Xiaoque's summoning card.

After the Four Great Families were destroyed, the Su Family entered a phase of rapid development.

After inheriting the Four Great Families' assets, the Su Family was now swimming in wealth. The Spirit Stones accumulated by the four families alone totaled three billion.

Beyond that, there were countless heavenly treasures and earthly materials.

Of course, the most important things were still their businesses, which could provide the Su Family with an endless stream of resources.

Among the Four Great Families, the He Family had been the smallest, yet it still had nearly ten thousand members.

The Wang Family was even more terrifying, with nearly seventy thousand members.

Besides maintaining their Lineage's operations, they had still managed to save up so many Spirit Stones. This was enough to show just how enormous their profits had been.

The Su Family had few members, which meant that every person received more resources.

The cultivation resources for the direct line had originally increased tenfold. After the Four Great Families were destroyed, they increased by roughly another three times on top of that tenfold amount.

Even the cultivation resources for the collateral branches had risen by roughly three times.

Half a month after the Four Great Families were destroyed, the four surrounding cities came to the Su Family in succession to offer their congratulations.

In this corner of the Eastern Domain, there were five great cities: Bright Moon City, Gusu City, Wanli City, Pingyang City, and Fengxue City.

There was little difference in strength between the five cities, and they had always maintained an alliance-like relationship, somewhat like a union of states.

Each managed its own affairs, but whenever an outside enemy invaded, they supported and aided one another.
