Su Chen's heart was heavy; things had developed to a point where even he was somewhat bewildered.
And who exactly is this woman!?
Why did she act like she knew him so well, and even know his deepest secrets?
He might have been very nervous in the past, but his mindset is different now.
There are many possibilities that it doesn't come from the Xuantian Realm, just like the Immortal Reincarnation, who also comes from the Immortal Realm.
The woman seemed to know what Su Chen was thinking, and she smiled and said:
"Su Chen, you can't forget your promise, okay? We made a deal."
After she finished speaking, her figure gradually disappeared.
Seeing this, Su Chen quickly asked, "What's your name?"
The woman's ethereal and melodious voice rang out again:
"Hmph, you even forgot the name you gave me yourself."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman vanished completely from the Sacrificial Altar.
Su Chen fell silent, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Damn it!
What exactly is going on?
The woman seemed to have exhausted her power of Great Dao and disappeared because she could no longer maintain her state. Su Chen could sense that she was still right beside him.
The key question is, what exactly did I promise her?
Su Chen frowned. Everything that had happened today left him somewhat bewildered, but he had an instinctive feeling that what the woman said was true.
But he knew he had absolutely not done those things.
Suddenly, Su Chen looked down at the Minor Immortal Slaying Sword Formation on the back of his hand, and an extremely terrifying thought arose in his mind.
When did this Minor Immortal Slaying Sword Formation arrive?
If it were the old Su Chen, he would have been completely confused, but now that he has reached the half-step Immortal Emperor Descendant, he has a different understanding.
This sword formation is constructed of Karma, and it is connected to its master.
In other words, he had definitely been in contact with the Lord Tongtian.
Thinking back to this, the Spirit of Xuantian Realm also said that he had met her before, but Su Chen remembered very clearly that they had never met before and this was the first time they had met.
Therefore, only one conclusion can be drawn.
Time!
The one who sees the Spirit of Xuantian Realm may indeed be him, but not the present him, but the Future him.
The Timeline in which the Spirit of Xuantian Realm saw itself was in the past, perhaps even before Su Chen was born.
In other words, Su Chen from the Future Return to the Past and influenced the world's operation, which led to the current situation.
Thinking of this, Su Chen was suddenly shaken.
In other words, he from the Future will travel to the Past.
Is that so?
To be honest, Su Chen wasn't sure.
Since he currently cannot comprehend time as a supreme Great Dao, this idea remains merely speculation.
But what other reasons could there be?
Su Chen fell into deep thought, completely unaware that the entire Xuantian Realm outside had come to a complete standstill, with everything frozen in place.
Of course, saying that the world stopped might be a bit problematic; saying that Su Chen himself stopped within the world would be more accurate.
However, the abnormality only lasted for a few breaths before it subsided.
Su Chen also came to his senses and shook his head.
These are things he is currently finding difficult to understand.
However, he knew very well that the truth would Future come to light.
If his guess is correct and his Future self really did travel Past, what other things did he do?
Or perhaps Su Chen wanted to know why his Future self was traveling through time, and what his purpose was.
Or have they encountered some powerful enemy, requiring an incredible amount of time to replan and re-lay out their plans?
The moment that thought crossed his mind, Su Chen immediately rejected it.
Damn.
Joke.
I'm a cheat code user, what enemy can't I defeat?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it so much."
Su Chen shook his head, took a deep look at the Altar, and then turned and left.
Su Chen reappeared on Wangyun Mountain. He returned to Nine Cloud Daoist Temple, where True Person Qingfeng was recuperating. Upon seeing Su Chen, he immediately stood up from his prayer mat and bowed to him.
"Greetings, Su Family Head!"
Su Chen smiled and nodded at him, then looked at the portrait hanging in the center, his eyes darting around.
Although his Cultivation Level is now at the Half-step Immortal Emperor level, the portrait is no different in his eyes from before; it is still just pure Karma.
However, Su Chen is certain of one thing now.
The owner of this portrait might be looking at him right now.
Whether it's the portrait or the Minor Immortal Slaying Sword Formation on the back of his hand, it all originates from someone, or he himself is a Clones.
Taking a deep breath, Su Chen did not burn incense towards the portrait as he had done before.
This time, he simply cupped his hands in a slight bow.
At this moment, the portrait, which had always been still, suddenly came to life, although the face was still not clearly visible.
The person in the portrait clearly came to life, and he also bowed slightly to Su Chen.
Upon witnessing this scene, True Person Qingfeng's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately knelt down, burying his head deeply in the ground.
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
At that moment, a tidal wave of emotion surged within him.
How could that be!
The Su Family Head was actually related to their Patriarch.
The key point is that the portrait can actually move; he had always thought it was just an inanimate object.
True Person Qingfeng was utterly horrified; the scene before him was beyond his comprehension. However, he knew that in this situation, all he needed to do was kneel and kowtow.
In a daze, the person in the portrait returned to his original appearance. Su Chen's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around and left Nine Cloud Daoist Temple.
What happened today made Su Chen realize that something else Certain be going to happen in the Future.
Perhaps the lineage of the Nine Cloud Daoist Temple only appeared in the Xuantian Realm because of him, rather than having existed here originally.
However, he kept calculating and delving deeper.
Since it's a matter for the Future, everything is preordained; let's just let things take their course.
At first, he thought that once the mystery of the Miasma was solved, the matter of the Xuantian Realm would be over.
But as things unfolded, the mystery grew Yuelai larger.
Su Chen smiled and said, "Interesting."
After a brief period of grief, the Su Family began to reorganize the entire world in the Xuantian Realm.
If they intend to bring this world to the Immortal Realm, then the entire Xuantian Realm will naturally be their territory, unlike before.
On this day, all the senior members of the Su Family gathered together to discuss the future plans for the Su Family.
"Family Head, do you have any suggestions?"
Su Qingyun looked at Su Chen. Although Su Chen usually wouldn't speak up about these kinds of things, she still had to ask.
In such a formal setting, they addressed Su Chen with respectful titles.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen wore a thoughtful expression. After pondering for a while, he finally spoke:
"If the Su Family wants to grow, this kind of Lineage management style is definitely not suitable."
"If we go to the Immortal Realm, the territory of the Xuantian Realm will expand, making it even more difficult to manage. Therefore, I suggest... establishing an empire, with each state as a region, and sending key personnel to each to oversee it."
Build an empire?
Everyone nodded in agreement. It was indeed a good idea: the empire would be in control on the surface, while the Su Family would operate behind the scenes.
