Although Su Zhenyuan doted on his four daughters, as the Family Head, he was the only one who could have the final say in the Su Clan. Now that he had agreed, the matter was considered to be completely settled, and no one could change it unless the sleeping ancestor came forward.

Su Qingmei understood this, so she hesitated, swallowing back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Her gaze turned to the young man, a hint of coldness and killing intent flashing in her eyes.

"Muqing, although this child is only at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm, your father and mother just checked his Soul Lifespan, which is only ninety-six years, less than one hundred. Such Soul Lifespan is still considered an unparalleled Heavenly Talent, no less than the True Disciple descendants of great clans!"

Su Zhenyuan remained silent for a moment. Although he himself was inclined to agree to the marriage between Su Muqing and the Emperor Son of the Lin Clan, it was ultimately Betrothal Document left by their ancestors. He still spoke up for Li Hao in the spirit of fairness. If his daughter developed feelings for him because of this, it would mean that the two were indeed destined for each other. He could only helplessly submit to Destiny.

"His Soul Lifespan is less than a hundred years?"

Upon hearing their father's words, the three women all looked up abruptly, staring at Su Zhenyuan in astonishment.

Even they, at the Soul Lifespan a hundred years, did not possess such cultivation!

Among them, Su Muqing, the most Heavenly Talent and hailed as a rare True Phoenix who appears only once Fifty Thousand Years in the Su Clan, has only recently stepped into the True Immortal Realm after a hundred years of Soul Lifespan. Such Heavenly Talent has already shaken the entire Gusu Emperor Star, and together with that Emperor Son of the Lin Clan, they have become a match made in heaven.

Could this young man before me be even more talented than Heavenly Talent Su Muqing?

The three women's gazes instantly fell on Li Hao, their eyes filled with shock.

Su Muqing looked at the other person with surprise and suspicion. When she saw that the other person was also staring at her, her expression changed instantly, and Anger surged within her again. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Even so, I will not marry him. Who knows if he has taken some rare spirit medicine? If it were only for cultivation, I would have already reached the Immortal Lord Realm Peak. If he really had that ability, why would he bother to rely on my Su Clan?!"

Hearing this, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue both nodded secretly. Their father had said that the other party had Emperor Lord behind him, so it wouldn't be surprising if they could find some Chaos Divine Artifact. A mere realm doesn't mean anything; in the end, it depends on whether the foundation is solid and how strong the combat power is in actual battle.

Su Zhenyuan also considered the matter of Li Hao taking rare spirit medicine, but these were minor issues. With the Emperor Lord cultivating him behind the scenes, he would certainly not force Li Hao to grow too quickly and would take things one step at a time. Therefore, the claim that Li Hao was at the Immortal Lord Realm could not be exaggerated.

He said, "Xiaohao's Heavenly Talent is beyond doubt..."

"No matter what his Heavenly Talent, I don't care. I made a promise with Brother Zhixuan that we will never be separated!"

Su Muqing said with grief and indignation.

Seeing Self had been interrupted, Su Zhenyuan's expression changed, and he let out a heavy snort, his face unusually cold as he said:

"I have made my decision, and there is no need to say more. A hundred years from now, if you still do not like him, and he still cannot move your heart, you may refuse him. In these hundred years, you must obey my command!"

Su Muqing was jolted awake by that cold snort, as if struck by a heavy hammer. Her face turned pale, and she stared blankly at her father, feeling as if he were a complete stranger. Finally, she slowly lowered her head and turned to look at the boy who was staring straight at her.

In an instant, all manners and etiquette were cast aside. All the grievances and Anger welled up within her, and she made no attempt to hide the disgust and hatred in her eyes as she said:

"Whether it's ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years!"

"I, Su Muqing, would never fall in love with you!"

The girl's words, each one like a needle, echoed in the hall, as if trying to pierce the frail boy.

But Li Hao remained silent. He had no feelings for Su Muqing in front of him; she was just a stranger. Everything he had done here was to accompany the figure who had traveled through Time and Space to fight against all sides for him in front of the Supreme Being.

Compared to that, what is a mere century of companionship?

Seeing that Li Hao was unmoved by her words, Su Muqing felt as if all her strength was wasted. She gritted her teeth, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Li Hao's figure blurred as he followed the figure in the moon-blue dress from bygone Years.

"You!"

Seeing that Li Hao was determined to follow her like a shadow, Su Muqing was furious, her face turning ashen.

She turned and glared angrily at Li Hao, radiating a powerful aura. Her Immortal Power whipped her hair and fairy dress into a fluttering motion, but the boy before her remained unmoved.

Seeing Self imposing presence couldn't scare away this guy at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm, Su Muqing became even angrier. She looked up at her father in the hall, a hint of hatred in her eyes, and then turned away.

As Li Hao and Su Muqing left, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue exchanged bewildered glances inside the hall, finding it difficult to comprehend what had happened.

"Well then, Father, Mother, we'll take our leave as well."

Su Wanxue came to her senses, bowed, and said goodbye.

With their father's approval, the two quickly left the Bright Emperor Hall. They could sense the oppressive atmosphere there and couldn't help but be curious about the young man. To be able to cultivate to the Immortal Lord Realm in a hundred years, he must have been nurtured by a powerful figure. Logically, he wouldn't have been forced to grow too fast, which meant that the young man truly possessed extraordinary talent.

But why is the other party so determined to curry favor with the Su Clan?

Bright Emperor Hall, only Su Zhenyuan and his wife remained for a moment.

"Madam, please don't do anything unnecessary. If that young man suffers even the slightest injury, it will be considered a breach of promise by the Su Clan, and I will not let him off lightly!"

Su Zhenyuan's expression was solemn, his eyes radiating powerful authority, as he spoke earnestly.

Su Qingmei's expression changed slightly. These words were a stern warning, and she understood that her husband was serious.

"Do you really want Muqing to marry a boy like that?"

Su Qingmei couldn't help but ask, "Even if he has extremely high Heavenly Talent, his attempt to use Muqing to leverage the Su Clan's power and curry favor with us shows a lack of ambition. He will never go far in the path of cultivation, Dao Heart will certainly not be very high."

Hearing his wife's gentle and soft words, the coldness in Su Zhenyuan's eyes gradually faded, and he sighed softly, saying:

"Everything is predestined. The Emperor Lord behind that young man sent him with the Betrothal Document at this time, perhaps because he saw something we couldn't see, or perhaps there was another deeper meaning. You don't understand how far the Emperor Lord can see, or what he can glimpse..."

A deep sense of apprehension flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head and said, "Putting all that aside, if the Betrothal Document is genuine and the young man is real, then there's no reason to refuse. If I were to refuse, where would that leave my Su Clan ancestors? This isn't just about respecting the Emperor Lord and keeping a promise; it's about honoring our own ancestors!"

Upon hearing Su Zhenyuan's words, Su Qingmei was taken aback, her heart trembling as she understood her husband's noble sentiments.

Her eyes softened as she said, "My husband, I misunderstood you before. However, I'm afraid Muqing will suffer some injustice in this matter and may resent you as her father."

"She'll understand when she takes on the responsibilities of the Lineage in the future..."

Su Zhenyuan sighed, but when he thought of the slightly resentful look in his beloved daughter's eyes as she left, he still felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Su Qingmei grasped his broad hand and whispered, "I will talk to Muqing properly. That child will understand your difficulties. A hundred years is but a short time; it will Past quickly."

Su Zhenyuan nodded slightly, took her slender hand in his own, and his eyes softened.

Su Muqing's courtyard, located deep within the Su Clan mansion, is named Lake Pavilion Garden.

The garden contains nine scenic spots, seven courtyards, and three places for cultivation.

Su Muqing lives in the Immortal's Abode Courtyard, which is also the main academy and is rich in Immortal Power.

Like the gardens of the other three little phoenixes, Lake Pavilion Garden was the highest standard enjoyed by the direct line. However, Su Muqing was deeply loved because of her Heavenly Talent and Bloodline, and was inherited by the True Phoenix among the direct line. Several Divine Medicine and Chaos Rare Treasure were added to the garden, making the Immortal Power in the garden even stronger than that of the gardens of Su Wanqing and the other two girls.

Upon returning from the Bright Emperor Hall, Su Muqing went straight back to the Immortal's Abode Courtyard, her face ashen the entire way.

Seeing Li Hao accompany her into the hospital, Su Muqing nearly lost her temper and angrily said:

"This is my private residence. What are you doing here?"

"I'll stay with you."

"I don't want you to stay with me!"

Su Muqing was furious.

Li Hao gazed into her eyes, as if trying to see through them into the depths of her soul, into another, yet-to -Awakening, Primordial Spirit.

He said expressionlessly, "I won't bother you. You can do what you need to do, as long as I can see you."

"You, you!" Su Muqing stomped her foot in anger, but quickly regained her composure, saying coldly, "Don't think you can move me like this, it's ridiculous!"

At this moment, the Steward and servants of the Immortal's Abode Courtyard arrived to greet them. Looking at the young man arguing with Su Muqing, their eyes widened in astonishment. In the Su Clan, how could there be a younger generation who dared to defy this True Phoenix?

"Nanny Wu, throw him out!"

When Su Muqing saw Nanny Wu, the Steward who had taken care of her since childhood, come over, she immediately gave orders.

Nanny Wu quickly agreed, releasing the Aura of the Perfection of Immortal Lord Realm, and was about to suppress and throw Li Hao out.

Li Hao frowned and immediately said, "Your father said that I have the same rights as you, and anyone who lays a hand on me is guilty of the same crime as laying a hand on you!"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Nanny Wu paused in her tracks. As the Steward of the Su Clan, she was incredibly Dexterous Level. Li Hao's extraordinary abilities could be seen from Li Hao argument with Su Muqing. These words made her pale.

Su Muqing said coldly, "Your shamelessness will only make me hate you!"

"Unimportant."

Li Hao said.

"You!"

Su Muqing's chest heaved violently with anger. Having always had a smooth life, she was like Fairy who didn't Mortal World. This was the first time she had suffered so much injustice in a single day.

Seeing Su Muqing's reaction, Nanny Wu immediately realized that what Li Hao said was true, and she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"Nanny Wu, what are you waiting for? Throw him out! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

Su Muqing said angrily.

Nanny Wu was inwardly groaning. If something really happened, these young ladies wouldn't be punished; it's always the servants who suffer.

Before she could figure out how to deal with it, a whooshing sound came rushing over, it was Yaoqin beside Su Qingmei.

When she saw the scene in the courtyard, a strange look flashed across her face, and she gave Li Hao a deep look.

Earlier in the hall, she had knelt to the side and seen Li Hao's Soul Lifespan, which slightly changed her impression of the young man.

Regardless of how the other party performs, they are ultimately a Heavenly Prodigy genius.

"Muqing, Madam asked me to tell you: uphold your Dao Heart, pay no attention to external things, just do your best. A hundred years will Past quickly."

Yaoqin glanced at Li Hao beside her, but instead of using telepathy, she spoke respectfully and directly.

Su Muqing's expression changed, and her eyes grew even colder, which meant that her mother had also compromised and was advising her to accept her fate.

She took a deep breath, glared at Li Hao with hatred, and said, "Fine, I'd like to see how you'll be scrambling out of my Su Clan like a dog a hundred years from now!"

After saying that, he turned and went into the house without looking back.

Li Hao's figure blurred as he immediately followed.

"Young Master, that's Miss's main room, you..."

Nanny Wu's expression changed, and she quickly tried to stop her.

Li Hao didn't turn his head and said, "I know what I'm doing."

Nanny Wu was a little dumbfounded. "You know your limits? The problem is, I don't know you at all!"

She turned to Yaoqin and quickly transmitted her voice, "Miss Yaoqin, what is the background of that young man? He just said that he has the same status as you, is that true?"

Yaoqin was somewhat stunned as she watched Li Hao follow her like a leech. Hearing Nanny Wu's words, she looked away and nodded.

"That's right, it was promised personally by the Family Head."

"This..."

Nanny Wu was dumbfounded. Before she could ask any more questions, Yaoqin had already teleported away.

Inside the room, Su Muqing's expression changed when she saw Li Hao follow her in. She said, "Do you mean you're going to watch me go to sleep and take a bath?"

"If that could be achieved, that would be for the best."

Li Hao said calmly.

"... roll!"

Su Muqing's face flushed red instantly, not from embarrassment, but from anger.

Li Hao said, "A hundred years may be a short time, but if you count the days one by one, it's still quite a long time. How about we live together peacefully?"

"Ugh, the sight of you makes me want to vomit."

Su Muqing sneered without any mercy.

Li Hao remained silent.

Seeing that Li Hao was unwilling to leave, Su Muqing took a deep breath. She knew that a proper solution was indeed needed, otherwise having such a person by her side for the next hundred years would be very inconvenient.

"If you really want to stay here, fine. But you can't go near my bedchamber. You can stay in the courtyard. If you don't agree, I'll go find Father right now, even if it means threatening to kill myself!"

Su Muqing said with a cold face.

Li Hao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing that Li Hao still had some principles, Su Muqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then sneered, "Then it's settled. Besides, let me tell you, seeing you only increases my disgust!"

Li Hao did not respond to this. He had already realized that the girl in front of him was someone else. He was only protecting her body and her Awakening True Soul.

"Snort!"

Seeing that Li Hao remained silent, Su Muqing snorted coldly, turned around and went into the house, saying:

"My bedroom is behind this Main Hall. Please leave now."

Li Hao paused for a moment, then finally came out.

The palace doors were suddenly pulled shut by a force, as if venting some kind of anger.

Nearby, Nanny Wu caught up and was about to speak when Li Hao glanced at the tightly closed palace doors and asked first, "Are you the Steward here?"

"Yes, I don't know who you are, young master...?"

Nanny Wu was stunned, looking slightly flustered, unable to figure out the identity of the boy in front of her.

"Could you please clean out the room next door for me? I live here."

Li Hao said.

Nanny Wu was stunned, and couldn't help but look at the tightly closed Palace Hall, somewhat hesitant.

Li Hao glanced at her, and seeing that she was unwilling to act, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he took out a piece of the Divine Tree trunk from the Heaven and Earth Space, sat on the ground directly in front of the sleeping quarters, and began to Sculpting on his own, gathering Immortal Power at his fingertips.

Soon, he had Sculpting out two chairs and a small table.

Seeing the young man's behavior, Nanny Wu and the other servants looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Nanny Wu decided to go and ask Su Muqing, and told the other servants and maids to leave first.

Not long after, when Nanny Wu came out of the bedroom, she saw that the young man had set up a game of White Stone chess on the newly Sculpting small table. She was surprised, but she did not approach or ask any questions. Instead, she called over the maid next to her and instructed the others not to approach the young man and to ignore him as instructed by their mistress.

"That guy..."

Inside the hall, Su Muqing used her Divine Sense to see Li Hao's actions outside. Seeing how persistent he was, she became increasingly annoyed and quickly withdrew her Divine Sense, going to the cultivation room inside the hall.

Outside the hall, Li Hao waited, gradually calming his mind.

Having left the Southern Region, he made his final advancement in the Painting Dao, breaking through to the Twelfth Stage. Relying on the Dao Realm of Painting Dao True Meaning, he embedded it into his Path of the Physical Body, stepping into the Immortal Lord Realm in one fell swoop. He hadn't yet had time to properly experience the many powers of the Immortal Lord Realm, nor the many changes within himself.

[Name: Li Hao]

[Soul Lifespan: 96]

[Realm: First Level of Immortal Lord Realm]

[Sword Dao: Eleventh Dan (A First Glimpse into Sword Immortal)]

[The Path of the Physical Body: Twelfth Stage (True Lord)]

[Imperial Dao: Eleventh Dan (True Immortal)]

... omitting 1,000 words from the Panel

Li Hao scanned Panel. With the increasing number of Cultivation Method, the Panel had become longer and longer, but he still managed to scan it all at a glance.

After reaching the Immortal Lord Realm, Li Hao discovered that the biggest difference from before was that he had only Mastery the Great Dao Origin. Even though his comprehension was extremely high, he mostly used the power of the Origin, as if it were the embryonic form of the Great Dao.

Now, as far as the eye can see, the surrounding Heaven and Earth is filled with the Principle of the Great Dao, Principle are like the blossoming branches of the Great Dao, or like chains dancing across the sky.

If the Great Dao Origin is the seed, then the Immortal Dao Laws are the branches and leaves.

Using branches and leaves in battle is naturally more powerful, which is also the difference between the Immortal Lord Realm and the True Immortal Realm, unless the seeds are made of iron.

"The Body Laws."

Li Hao's gaze swept across the area, sensing a primal and savage Principle of the Great Dao surrounding him.
