Ancient Marriage Pact

Li Hao's gaze swept across the area, and he saw that the prosperity Xuanhe of this place were a hundred times greater than that of the previous General King Star.

Golden Thread phoenix feathers filled the sky, True Dragon soared, stirring up auspicious clouds. On the ground, magnificent palaces, ten times more grand than those of emperors, were everywhere. Even a shop on the street was as majestic as Palace Hall, with its goods and Immortal Treasure radiating various divine lusters. The sounds of zithers and swords rang out in harmony, creating an atmosphere of unparalleled prosperity.

"This is the Emperor Star?"

Li Hao was shaken. Thinking of the Su Clan, he couldn't help but inquire about the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul:

Are there any Immortal Emperor on this Emperor Star?

"Have."

The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul seemed to understand Li Hao's worries and said, "But Immortal Emperor are in a semi-dormant state for most of the year and will not fully Awakening unless there is a major event. The Supreme you saw earlier was just an avatar. Even my Lord Dao Source Immortal Emperor was only a Descent, not his True Form. Otherwise, that True Realm Heaven and Earth would have collapsed, and you would not have been able to withstand it."

"Avatar?"

Li Hao's pupils contracted slightly. The Supreme from before could not look directly at his face; his majestic gaze and mere Aura suppressed all the kings present, preventing them from raising their heads. And this was merely an avatar?!

He suddenly understood why the Immortal Emperor was supreme and the Ultimate being in the True Realm; no wonder all races revered him.

After leaving the Teleportation Array, Li Hao entered the city before him and began to investigate the location of the Su Clan.

Fortunately, the Human Race communicate here is the same as the language in the Southern Region, only the accents are different.

Hearing Li Hao's accent, she assumed he was a native of a remote Xingchen on the outer edge of the Northern Region and glanced at him with a slightly strange look. However, when she sensed Li Hao's cultivation Aura, her expression softened, and Li Hao directions.

"The Su Clan is in Gusu City. We need to teleport Past here."

"Gusu City?"

Li Hao's heart stirred slightly. This Emperor Star was Gusu, and that city was also Gusu. Could the Su Clan have Immortal Emperor ancestor?

"I've heard of it, but I don't know the current situation. I've Years in the Original True World for far too long. Besides, there's Immortal Emperor slumbering on this star, and I'll also fall into a semi-slumber. I'll manifest myself when you encounter danger; the rest is up to you to figure out."

The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul transmitted its voice.

As Li Hao heard its voice gradually weaken, he didn't complain. Instead, he silently expressed his gratitude in his heart, then took out the Immortal Stone and went to a roadside Restaurant.

This Restaurant is magnificent and resplendent, like Imperial Palace. The Immortal Deity who come and go are all covered in Liuli and adorned with Immortal Treasure, and are either rich or noble.

Li Hao sought out the people in the Restaurant and inquired about this Gusu Emperor Star.

The people in the Restaurant sensed Li Hao's Immortal Lord Realm Aura, but they didn't underestimate him. They patiently explained the situation to Li Hao.

This Gusu Emperor Star is extremely vast, with many Forbidden Zone. There are also cities and Mountain Range above which crossing is forbidden. Those Mountain Range are Spirit Vein monopolized by powerful clans, and outsiders are forbidden from spying on them. Some cities have even more special taboos, and no one is allowed to cross them. Ancient imperial statues or royal steles are enshrined inside, and if Immortal Deity are higher than them, it is considered blasphemy!

These are all local rules on Gusu Emperor Star, and they must be followed.

The man briefly explained that, upon learning Li Hao was heading to the Su Clan, he informed Li Hao of the teleportation point.

The area of Gusu Emperor Star is larger than Land of Myriad Heavens; the combined area of Thirty-Three Small Worlds is less than one-tenth of its size.

Li Hao left the Restaurant and headed to the teleportation point. Thinking of the beautiful, broken face's dying words, he felt a sense of urgency.

Soon, after Three Times teleportations and traveling through three Immortal City, Li Hao arrived in Gusu City.

The city before us is even more magnificent and imposing, the ground seems to be paved with gold bricks, and beautiful music floats in the sky from time to time, containing the simple charm of the Great Dao. If one lives here and listens from childhood, as long as one has a little wisdom, one can easily Dao Hearing.

It should be understood that in the Mortal World, cultivating to the Dao Inquiry Realm requires extraordinary Heavenly Talent and a thousand years of Years, but here, even a child of about twenty can easily Dao Hearing.

The Su Clan was located in the most prosperous Xuanhe area in the center of Gusu City.

The enormous imperial palace was located in the city. Its area alone surpassed that of a Mortal World human Dynasty. It contained numerous Palace Hall, dragons and phoenixes resting in ponds, exuding supreme nobility.

In front of the mansion, a line of the Immortal Lord Realm, their cold eyes surveying the passing crowds.

The Immortal Deity passing by quickened their pace and held their breath under the scrutiny of so many cold gazes, as if afraid of stirring up the dust in front of the mansion.

"Have you heard? The Su Clan is going to the Marriage Alliance with the Lin Clan. The true imperial Imperial Daughter is marrying the true Emperor Son of the Lin Clan. I can't even imagine how powerful their Bloodline will be!"

"There's no other way. Our Human Race relies entirely on a few powerful clans for support within the Northern Region. Otherwise, we would have long been reduced to pigs and dogs. Now that the Demon are powerful, we can only band together for warmth."

"I heard that Su Muqing and that Emperor Son have been childhood sweethearts, and now they're a match made in heaven."

"I've long heard of that destined Imperial Daughter, whose beauty is beyond compare. I've traveled thousands of miles just to catch a glimpse of her magnificent face."

"Of course. I had the honor of seeing Miss Su from afar ten years ago. For ten years, she has appeared in my mind every time I close my eyes. I can never forget her."

On the street outside the mansion, many people gathered, whispering among themselves, occasionally craning their necks to peer at the mansion from afar, but daring not to release their Divine Sense rashly.

As Li Hao passed by, he paid a little attention to their conversation and realized that these people had come here to wait for Miss Su to leave the mansion so that they could catch a glimpse of her face.

He found it slightly amusing, never expecting that Immortal Deity would be so superficial. However, the closer he got to the mansion, the more oppressive he felt. The Su Clan was indeed a powerful clan in the Northern Region, and their status was probably even higher than that of the Yan Chu Imperial Family in the Southern Region!

In the distance outside the mansion, there was a low murmur of voices, but in front of the mansion, it was clean and quiet, and no one dared to approach.

Therefore, the boy's slow walk immediately attracted a lot of attention, and the Immortal Lord patrolling outside the mansion all turned their gazes towards him.

Upon seeing the boy's simple clothes, his gaze seemed to sharpen even further.

"Who comes here, and what brings you here?"

An Immortal Lord Realm Descent before Li Hao, speaking calmly without any aggressive coldness. After all, the Su Clan was a powerful clan, and most of their visitors were distinguished individuals; appearances could not be deceiving.

Thinking of Ying Xiaoxiao's words, the Su Clan of the Northern Region... Li Hao took a deep breath, feeling a strange sense of tension.

He took out the ancient scroll from the Heaven and Earth Space. The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul said that this item was bestowed by the Dao Source Immortal Emperor. If you take this scroll to the Su Clan, you can get what you want. That Immortal Emperor will surely be able to calculate what you need.

He took out the ancient scroll and handed it to the Immortal Lord guard before him, saying:

"My name is Haotian. I have come to pay a visit to the Su Clan and would be grateful if you could present this item to the Family Head."

The Immortal Lord guard raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing a trace of the Great Dao aura emanating from the ancient scroll, along with a hidden Aura that even made him wary. He felt a chill run down his spine, knowing the young man before him was no ordinary person. He immediately accepted the scroll and said:

Please follow me to the Guest Welcoming Hall and wait a moment.

As he spoke, he gestured for Li Hao to proceed.

Li Hao followed him across the mansion before him. As he stepped inside, he felt as if he had entered a fairyland, and the Immortal Power in the surrounding Heaven and Earth suddenly became ten times stronger.

The immortal energy on Gusu Imperial Star is already abundant, like that of the Yan-Chu Imperial City. The immortal energy within this mansion is like that of an extraordinary immortal holy land. The immortal energy flows into one's pores, and one's cultivation level can be slowly improved without needing to cultivate here.

Soon, following the rainbow archway within the mansion, Li Hao arrived at the Guest Welcoming Hall to wait.

The Immortal Lord guardian then delivered the ancient scroll to a magnificent, ancient, solemn Xuanhe Palace Hall deep within the Su Manor.

Through a series of passing and reporting, the ancient scroll eventually entered the ancient Palace Hall and was respectfully presented to a noblewoman.

This noblewoman was dressed in the most luxurious way, with each piece of her dress adorned with Immortal Treasure Liuli beads. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face possessed a blend of innocence, nobility, and the dignified air of someone who had long held a position of power. Few could resist such a face.

Upon seeing the ancient scroll, the noblewoman's eyes and eyebrows slightly lifted, sensing a subtle Emperor's Might emanating from it.

This surprised her somewhat, indicating that this item had once been held by the Immortal Emperor.

What must something be so precious to be wielded by Immortal Emperor?

She put down the celestial nectar beside her, picked up the ancient scroll, and slowly opened it.

Golden rays burst forth from the scroll, and as the scroll was opened, ancient characters emerged, containing a vast and ancient Daoist Great Dao conception, indicating that the writer was no ordinary person.

When she saw the two characters on the far right, the noblewoman's furrowed brows changed instantly, her fingers trembled slightly, and she almost couldn't hold on.

Things that could frighten him were extremely rare. Even if Immortal King were to fall before his eyes, he wouldn't even blink. But at this moment, just those two words were enough to make him lose his composure.

Her gaze swept Past the rows of images, and when she saw the dragon and phoenix images below, resembling seals, swirling and chirping, emitting joyful and Auspicious Omens sounds, she felt as if her heart had fallen into an ice cave. There was no joy at all; instead, a Chill ran through her.

At this critical juncture, how could this be?

The noblewoman's eyes trembled slightly, her eyelashes fluttering in the light and shadow. The two maids serving her exchanged glances, both seeing the horror and shock in each other's eyes.

What could have caused Madam to lose her composure like this?

After a long pause, the ancient scroll was closed, and the noblewoman looked at the person who had reported, her gaze fixed on him as she said:

"Who handed over this scroll? What did they look like? How many of them were there?"

The one who reported was not the first Immortal Lord guard to receive Li Hao, but as the personal bodyguard of the noblewoman, he would not waste his time. He had already inquired about the situation clearly, and now, as if he had witnessed it firsthand, he bowed his head respectfully and said:

According to the guards at the gate, there was only one person who came. He was a young man, simply dressed, and his Soul Lifespan was unknown. He came alone, and his cultivation level was at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm.

"First Level of Immortal Lord Realm..."

Upon hearing this, the noblewoman raised an eyebrow slightly. First Level of Immortal Lord Realm dared to come here with this Ancient Marriage Pact left by their ancestors, trying to curry favor?

She paused for a moment before saying, "Summon that person to the Jingwei Hall."

"Yes."

Li Hao, who was waiting in the Guest Welcoming Hall, soon saw the Immortal Lord's guards return. Their attitude towards him became even more respectful than before, bowing and extending their hands.

"Please come in, esteemed guest. Madam has instructed you to wait at the Jingwei Hall."

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that what the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul said was true; that Dao Source Immortal Emperor had indeed helped him all the way.

He Dark Dao again, stood up, bowed slightly, and followed the Immortal Guard out of the hall, following the rainbow-colored Immortal Dao within the mansion to another, more magnificent and luxurious hall.

Before long, Li Hao arrived at the main hall.

The maid at the door respectfully invited Li Hao in and served Li Hao tea.

Li Hao sat on a magnificent old-fashioned chair Sculpting from Ten Thousand Year Divine Wood, his gaze sweeping around. The tea beside him emitted a fragrant aroma that was refreshing and invigorating.

His mind wasn't on the tea, but rather on whether he would soon see the other Reincarnated Body Ying Xiaoxiao had mentioned.

However, what does Ying Xiaoxiao mean by "not yet Awakening"?

Was it before it was even born, or like Ying Xiaoxiao in the first half of her life, did it lack the memories of its Shi Miao?

As Li Hao pondered, several figures slowly walked in from outside the door. The one in front was naturally the noblewoman. At this moment, her eyes were cold and aloof. When the maid beside her was about to announce her arrival, she raised her hand to stop her and silently walked to the door, looking inside.

Inside the Palace Hall, a simply dressed young man sat on a chair, his eyes darting around, his hands clenching occasionally, his eyes revealing trepidation and nervousness, yet beneath those clear eyes lay a hint of anticipation and expectation.

The noblewoman's lips curled into a slight smile, but it was a cold laugh.

They appear honest and clean, with a sincere exterior, but their eyes don't lie.

Before even getting her consent, he was already fantasizing about how glamorous it would be to curry favor with the Su Clan?

She walked forward, her footsteps echoing, this time without attempt to conceal them.

The young man inside the hall immediately heard the footsteps that suddenly appeared nearby. He looked up and saw a woman as beautiful as a fairy, exuding nobility and magnificence, walking into the hall with lotus-like steps.

To Li Hao's astonishment, the woman's face and eyes bore a Ying Xiaoxiao!

How could that be?

Li Hao was somewhat lost in thought, then a sudden jolt went through him. Could it be...?

Seeing the boy's loss of composure, the noblewoman's previously calm face couldn't help but furrow her brows, her eyes turning slightly cold.

Having served by his side for many years, the maidservant understood the lady's intentions without a word. She immediately gave a soft shout, interrupting Li Hao's thoughts and bringing him back to his senses.

"How dare you look directly at Madam!"

The maidservant, who appeared to be a beautiful young woman in the prime of her life, with rosy lips and white teeth, possessed an air of Frostfall arrogance as she looked at Li Hao with an imposing presence.

As the personal maid of a prominent Family Head, her demeanor and authority were even comparable to those of some small clan leaders.

Li Hao regained consciousness, his heart trembling. He couldn't help but stand up and say, "You..."

The noblewoman frowned, her face turning completely cold, and said, "So you're the one who submitted the Betrothal and came to my door to marry my daughter?"

Hearing these cold words, Li Hao instantly sobered up and was taken aback. "Betrothal?"

Seeing Li Hao's reaction, the noblewoman was slightly surprised, but said calmly, "You didn't know it was Betrothal?"

Li Hao then remembered the High Antiquity scroll and was stunned. He hurriedly asked the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul in his heart, but there was no response for a long time. It seemed that the other party had really fallen asleep.

"I..."

Seeing Li Hao's changing expression, before Li Hao could explain again, the noblewoman narrowed her eyes and asked, "Then where did this Betrothal come from?"
