Soul Lifespan Exposed

"That's not necessarily true; the other party is only at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm."

The image of the young man, his neither humble nor arrogant demeanor, flashed through Madam Su's mind, and she couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Su Zhenyuan was somewhat surprised and asked, "How is your Soul Lifespan?"

"This..."

Madam Su overlooked this matter. She had arranged for the young man to go to the Jingwei Hall to measure his Soul Lifespan, but the feeling she got from him afterwards made her feel that there was no need to test him again.

Even with Soul Lifespan of a thousand years and outstanding talent, he would still be a poor match for those three children.

Madam Su said with slight dissatisfaction.

Seeing his wife's slightly pouting, playful expression, Su Zhenyuan's eyes softened, and he pulled her into his arms.

They had been married for tens of thousands of years, but their affection for each other was extremely strong. Although Madam Su had borne him a son and a daughter, in his presence, her temperament remained the same as when they first met—composed and dignified, yet still retaining a playful and innocent charm that he adored.

"If that's what you're saying, Madam, then it means it hasn't been measured? In that case, why don't we go and measure it first? After all, someone who can receive Betrothal Document from the Emperor Lord is no ordinary person, especially since it's a promise left by our ancestors. We, the younger generation, should certainly abide by it."

"All right."

Seeing her husband say this, Madam Su had no choice but to agree.

Upon returning to the Palace Hall, Madam Su received a message from Yaoqin and immediately summoned her for an audience.

Yaoqin arrived at the Main Hall and was taken aback to see that the Family Head Su Zhenyuan had also returned. She immediately knelt down to pay her respects.

Su Zhenyuan nodded slightly. Madam Su was standing beside him, gestured for him to rise and asked, "What is it?"

Yaoqin looked up cautiously at the Family Head, Su Zhenyuan, and immediately informed him that Li Hao wanted to pay his respects at the Small Annex Garden.

Madam Su raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You've only been here for less than a day, and you're already so impatient?"

Su Zhenyuan sensed something and asked, "Madam, is this the young man you mentioned who came to propose marriage?"

"Good."

Madam Su nodded and said coldly, "I was worried that he coveted the prosperity of my Su Clan, so I temporarily arranged for him to stay in the Small Annex Garden. I didn't expect that he couldn't wait even for a day. It seems that he came prepared. Well, after coming to Gusu Emperor Star, he should know about the Xuanhe and prestige of my Su Clan with a little inquiry."

Su Zhenyuan nodded, having no doubt about it. It would be strange if people on Gusu Emperor Star didn't know about the Su Clan's power.

But he didn't have a bad impression of the boy because of this; that's human nature. He said, "That's perfect. I just got back. It's such an important matter, I should see him. Go and have him come over."

These words were given to Yaoqin.

Upon hearing this, Yaoqin glanced cautiously at Madam Su, and seeing Madam Su nod slightly, she quickly and respectfully agreed.

Su Zhenyuan naturally noticed the maid's little actions, but he didn't blame her. She was the lady's personal maid, and it was normal for her to follow her lead.

Before long, Yaoqin returned to the Sea Moon Hall and, with a cold face, brought Li Hao back.

Li Hao arrived at the backyard of the Su Clan mansion and followed Yaoqin into the magnificent Main Hall.

There were no guards on either side of the Main Hall, but Li Hao could sense the Aura of the Immortal King Realm in the shadows, locking onto him. That feeling made every pore on his body involuntarily contract.

Upon entering the hall, Li Hao saw, besides Madam Su, a tall, handsome middle-aged man sitting beside Madam Su. His Aura was restrained, exuding a murderous Aura, yet he appeared rather refined and gentle, as if he were as warm as jade when dressed and as Killing God when undressed.

"Family Head, I have brought the person."

Yaoqin knelt down to pay her respects.

Li Hao immediately recognized the man's identity, bowed deeply, and said with clasped hands, "Greetings, Family Head."

Kneel down.

Seeing that Li Hao only bowed but did not kneel, Yaoqin couldn't help but whisper angrily.

Li Hao ignored these words, for as a disciple of the Immortal Emperor, he only respected Heaven and Earth.

Su Zhenyuan saw Li Hao's actions but instead of being angry, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Despite being at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm, he was able to withstand the pressure that naturally emanated from him, remaining calm and composed. He was undoubtedly a disciple of the Immortal Emperor.

He knew that as a disciple of the Immortal Emperor, he could not kneel before others, otherwise it would be an offense and blasphemy against the Immortal Emperor.

"It's alright. You are Haotian?"

Su Zhenyuan's expression was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger, yet he possessed an imposing aura that commanded respect even without anger.

Although she didn't have the same cold and indifferent expression as Madam Su beside her, her imposing manner was even stronger. If it were someone else standing nearby, they would have been terrified and trembling uncontrollably.

Li Hao sensed a faint Emperor's Might emanating from this Family Head, which made him feel a chill. However, this Emperor's Might was not as strong as that of the Supreme Avatar. He had just come from before those two emperors, and his endurance was far beyond that of the Immortal Lord Realm. Moreover, his Dao Heart was extraordinary. At this moment, he was extremely calm and nodded, saying:

"Yes."

Su Zhenyuan asked, "Was that Betrothal Document bestowed upon you by your Master?"

He had already seen the Betrothal Document before; it was not a forgery. Moreover, he could tell that the Betrothal Document had been held by the Emperor Lord not long ago, and it still retained a clear Emperor's Might.

"Not my Master."

Li Hao shook his head. Thinking of that Dao Source Immortal Emperor, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He felt only gratitude towards that Immortal Emperor.

"Oh?"

Su Zhenyuan was somewhat surprised. If it wasn't his Master, could it be that the other party was of the Emperor Lord's Bloodline?

"Those are his offspring?"

"No, not at all."

Li Hao shook his head and said, "I haven't become that senior's disciple yet. He gave me this item... simply to help this junior."

"Um?"

Su Zhenyuan was surprised. Neither a disciple nor Bloodline of Emperor Lord? However, he noticed Li Hao's words, "Not yet formally accepted." Did this mean the other party might one day become a disciple of Emperor Lord?

What is your relationship with that Emperor Lord?

Li Hao remained silent, unsure how to respond. After all, they had only met once, and in a sense, they were practically strangers.

But that's why he felt grateful; the person who saved him in his most dangerous moment was a complete stranger.

"I'm asking you a question."

Madam Su frowned.

Seeing Li Hao's complicated expression, Su Zhenyuan thought for a moment and didn't press the matter further. Instead, he raised his hand and made a gesture, causing a crack to appear in the Void. A pitch-black mirror fell out from inside and stood suspended in mid-air.

"Young man, let me see how long your Soul Lifespan."

Su Zhenyuan said politely.

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of Black Gleam shone from the mirror and enveloped Li Hao.

Madam Su gave a slight, cold smile and looked in the mirror.

The dark mirror, which normally reflected nothing, revealed Li Hao reflection as the Black Gleam shone on Li Hao.

Cultivation level: First Level of Immortal Lord Realm.

Soul Lifespan: 96 years.

When her gaze fell upon the Soul Lifespan, Madam Su's cold smile suddenly Solidification.

Yaoqin, kneeling on the ground, was also secretly peeking. When she saw Soul Lifespan, her cherry-like mouth opened wide and she forgot to close it. Her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.

"Um?"

When Su Zhenyuan saw the Soul Longevity, he was stunned for a moment, but as the head of the Su family in this generation, he quickly recovered and turned to look at Li Hao.

He had long ago detected that the cultivator was at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm, but his Soul Lifespan was only 96 years?!

How could that be!

Su Zhenyuan found it hard to believe. Even after reincarnation, one's Soul Lifespan cannot be erased. How could this person, who was only ninety-six years old, have cultivated to the Immortal Lord Realm?

Could it be a primordial, Chaos being? Or perhaps Bloodline of Great Emperor?

Born at the Saint Realm?

A huge wave surged in Su Zhenyuan's heart, but he quickly calmed down. At this moment, he understood that the Betrothal Document was not a misunderstanding, nor was it something the young man had obtained by chance. It was perfectly reasonable for the Emperor Lord to bestow the Betrothal Document upon the young man!

Furthermore, this move not only grants the young man the power of the Su Clan, but also ensures that the Su Clan will gain power from this young man in the Future!

The larger the clan, the more it understands the importance of strong alliances, which is why powerful clans have historically Marriage Alliance.

A marriage between people of equal social standing is better than a poor family's arduous cultivation for thousands of years!

If a marriage is chosen incorrectly, whether it is a noblewoman marrying into a poor family or a nobleman marrying into a poor household, it signifies decline. Once one declines, it is extremely difficult to climb back to one's original social class, and it may require the joint efforts of three generations.

This is true for mortal Dynasty, and even more so for Immortal Deity clans, since the power of Bloodline will also weaken.

" With Soul Lifespan of less than a hundred years, he has already reached the Immortal Lord Realm. This talent is definitely worthy of being Personal Disciple of Immortal Emperor, and perhaps even more than enough."

Su Zhenyuan Dark Dao to himself, his Deity. His four daughters were exceptionally outstanding. If they could all find such good matches, the next generation of the Su Clan would be incredibly strong. They would surely be able to quell the turmoil in the Northern Region, establish a firm foothold, and build Hundred-Star Great Wall for the Human Race in this area!

How is that possible?

Madam Su also came to her senses at this moment, her face showing a bit of disbelief, but the Soul Mirror couldn't possibly be wrong, especially since it Mastery by her husband himself.

Betrothal Document, Heavenly Prodigy... combining these two elements seems to make sense.

She felt a pang of discomfort, but thankfully, although she had previously looked down on the young man, she maintained the decorum expected of a member of a prominent family and did not treat him harshly.

Are you here alone?

Su Zhenyuan's face immediately softened as he asked Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded.

However, images of his many close friends in the Southern Region flashed through his mind, as well as the Dream Master, the Great Dream Clan, and Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and others within the sect, who were willing to fight for him with their entire clan.

Unfortunately, he is now powerless to protect anyone. Before that Supreme, even if he condenses the Dao Source Immortal Seal, he is nothing more than an ant or dust.

"Since it is an agreement made by our ancestors, the Su Clan will naturally abide by it."

Su Zhenyuan said gently to Li Hao, "Tomorrow, I will summon my daughters. They are all unmarried. If you find one you like, you can get married right here."

Upon hearing his words, Madam Su couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, realizing that her husband was far too unrestrained when it came to matters of the heart.

Marriage is a major event, and it cannot be held on the spot. It requires a matchmaker and a dowry, and many gifts and betrothal items need to be prepared.

Even if the young man didn't offer any dowry, the Su Clan family wouldn't covet such a small thing. However, they would have to prepare their daughter's dowry carefully, including choosing an auspicious day and informing all the major noble families on Gusu Emperor Star, all of which would take time.

Li Hao sensed the true nature of the Su family patriarch and couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards him. He cupped his hands and said:

"Family Head, I have already chosen someone, and I hope you will approve!"

At this point, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He never intended to marry Ying Xiaoxiao, but she traveled through Time and Space to come to him, and all he wanted to do was stay by her side and wait for her to Awakening.

If he hadn't seized the opportunity presented by the Betrothal Document, he might not have even had the chance to be by her side, given all the news circulating outside the mansion.

"Oh?"

Hearing Li Hao's words, Su Zhenyuan was somewhat surprised, but then he thought of his four daughters' renowned reputations. The fact that the other party had come with Betrothal Document meant he was well-prepared, so it wasn't surprising. He immediately smiled and said:

"Then tell me, which one have you set your sights on?"

"Miss Su Muqing."

Li Hao lowered his head and said.

In an instant, the Palace Hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It was eerily quiet, as if everything had been paused.

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw Su Zhenyuan's slightly surprised expression and Madam Su's angry face beside him.

"Impossible!"

As soon as Li Hao looked up, Madam Su angrily said, "Muqing is already Betrothal. No matter how Heavenly Talent you are, she can't marry you!"

Li Hao's heart sank slightly, and his clenched hands sank down as well.

Su Zhenyuan paused for a moment, then said, "Your name is Haotian, right? Then I'll call you Xiaohao. Since you've come to my Su Clan, you must know that Muqing is already betrothed to the Lin Clan. It's her good fortune that you've fallen for her, but this marriage..."

Li Hao's heart sank even further, and he said in a low voice, "Family Head, whatever the conditions, as long as I can do it, I will do it. I hope you will agree!"

He spoke with exceptional seriousness, and his eyes were exceptionally firm.

Madam Su waved her hand, her anger turning into a mocking laugh as she rebuked, "What makes you think you can compare to the Lin Clan? Even if you're Personal Disciple Immortal Emperor, so what? The Lin Clan is still an Emperor-level Aristocratic Clan, no less powerful than you. You're simply delusional!"

Su Zhenyuan's expression changed slightly upon hearing his wife's harsh words. He had seen the Betrothal Document and knew its contents; it designated the most talented woman in the Su Clan Heavenly Talent his marriage partner. The young man's demands perfectly matched the Betrothal Document and were quite reasonable, but...

Just as Madam Su said, Su Muqing was recently betrothed to the Lin Clan. The two had been childhood sweethearts since they were little, and even if we disregard the fact that Su Muqing was the Emperor Son of the Lin Clan, from an emotional point of view, he, as her father, could not bear to separate them.

"Xiaohao, I have three other women. Have you seen them?"

Su Zhenyuan asked.

Li Hao shook his head slightly, "I haven't seen her before. I came to the Su Clan only for her."

You have some nerve!

Madam Su slammed her slender white hand on the rattan chair, her face full of anger. "Muqing is True Phoenix of this world! Do you really think you can marry her just because of that Betrothal Document? Are you threatening the Su Clan?!"

Li Hao remained silent; he naturally had no right to threaten the Su Clan.

Su Zhenyuan's thoughts raced, and he pondered for a moment. Looking at the boy's silent yet stubborn appearance, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. That Emperor Lord really had a sharp eye. It was probably because Muqing's reputation had reached his ears that he brought up this Betrothal in this life.

He felt a mixture of pain and pride. It was Muqing's honor to catch the Emperor Lord's eye, but being remembered by him was not so wonderful.

"How about this, you meet my other three daughters first?"

Su Zhenyuan said gently to Li Hao.

After all, the other party was backed by the Emperor Lord, and he didn't want to provoke them. Besides, judging from the contents of the Betrothal Document, the Su Clan was indeed at a disadvantage.
