Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 76

“So, you possess the bloodline of the True Phoenix clan?”

Su Changsheng extended his hand to help the Ninth Princess up, asking with a smile on his face.

“That’s right. I have the bloodline of the True Phoenix clan within me, and I possess the Nine Phoenix Saint Physique. In the future, I even have the chance to transform into the Immortal Phoenix Body!”

The Ninth Princess lifted her chin slightly, speaking with pride.

The Immortal Phoenix Body.

Once successful, she would undergo a complete transformation, becoming an Immortal Phoenix. Achieving immortality in the future would be an effortless task.

However, the chances of this happening are extremely slim.

Even her father, the dignified ruler of the Eternal Imperial Court, does not believe it can be achieved.

“So, you plan to use a secret technique to undergo nirvana and then be reborn to restore your condition?!” Su Changsheng asked with a frown.

He didn’t know much about the True Phoenix clan, but he was aware that it was an extremely formidable race, known as an ancient royal clan.

Every member of this clan possessed incredibly terrifying talent.

Comparable to the level of a Divine Physique.

“It’s not that simple. The nirvana and rebirth of the True Phoenix clan, while very powerful, can only be performed when one is near death, and the success rate is very low. I’m not at that state yet!”

The Ninth Princess shook her head and then added, her eyes fixed on Su Changsheng:

“If I forcefully attempt it, the chances of success would be even lower, less than one in ten.”

Su Changsheng was taken aback.

If it can’t succeed, then why mention the True Phoenix secret technique?

Could it be that she intends to remain crippled like this?

“Hmph. I know what you’re thinking. If I hadn’t met you, I would have chosen to use the True Phoenix secret technique and gamble on that less than one in ten chance!”

“But with your appearance, I’ve changed my mind. Besides, I quite like you!”

The Ninth Princess stood on her tiptoes, her youthful and beautiful face drawing close to Su Changsheng. Her eyes were filled with determination, and faintly, a hint of shyness could be seen within them.

Like me?

Su Changsheng was somewhat astonished. What is this Ninth Princess planning?

“Su Changsheng, let’s engage in dual cultivation. Haven’t you always wanted to ride this princess?”

Just as Su Changsheng was feeling a bit bewildered, the Ninth Princess bit her lip, her face slightly flushed, and spoke loudly.

“……How do you know that?”

Su Changsheng fell silent, instinctively asking. He didn’t recall ever expressing such intentions.

Although in their past interactions, the Ninth Princess had vaguely sensed that Su Changsheng had thoughts about her, it shouldn’t have been this precise, right?

“Hmph. Who do you think this princess is? The Ninth Princess of the Imperial Court, a descendant of the True Phoenix clan. I have plenty of secret techniques similar to mind-reading!”

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess wrinkled her delicate nose and let out a few light hums, speaking with some pride.

“Although I can’t hear your exact thoughts, I can still pick up on your desire to ride me. And it’s not just once or twice!”

“Su Changsheng, you are quite bold. A mere Saint from the True Saint Continent, and you dare to think about riding this princess!”

The Ninth Princess’s eyes gleamed with amusement.

“……”

Su Changsheng remained silent.

No wonder during that period, the Ninth Princess always had a strange look in her eyes when interacting with him.

It seemed she must have sensed his thoughts.

“Hey, Su Changsheng, are you a man or not? Dare to think but not to act?”

Seeing Su Changsheng’s silence and thinking he was afraid, the Ninth Princess bit her lip, her face pressing close to his, and spoke with some nervousness.

She had mustered a great deal of courage to say those words.

“Of course, with the Ninth Princess extending such an invitation, how could I possibly back down?”

Su Changsheng’s lips curled into a slight smile as he looked at the Ninth Princess’s somewhat nervous face and spoke softly.

“By the way, what about your protector?”

Immediately, Su Changsheng raised his eyes, scanning the surroundings, and finally stopping at the entrance of the secret realm. From that entrance, faintly terrifying fluctuations could be felt.

Even through a small world, the horror within could still be sensed.

It seemed that several Great Saints were battling inside.

“Don’t worry, the three of them can’t do anything to Aunt Ye. If she wants to leave, they won’t be able to stop her!”

The Ninth Princess hung her entire body onto Su Changsheng. Upon hearing his words, she responded calmly.

“If it weren’t for the ambush beforehand, which cost me quite a few trump cards, those three Great Saints wouldn’t have been able to do anything to this princess!” The Ninth Princess said somewhat angrily.

“If everything is fine, then let’s leave first!” Su Changsheng didn’t respond to her comment but spoke softly instead.

He was also worried.

If the three Great Saints inside sensed something was wrong and broke out, things would become quite troublesome.

It was better to be cautious.

“Alright!”

The Ninth Princess nodded, then wrapped her arms around Su Changsheng’s neck, lifting her face slightly with a proud expression.

“Carry this princess!”

“……”

Su Changsheng’s mouth twitched slightly.

Why did it feel like she had let herself go a bit after revealing her thoughts?

She could even say such proud words?

Forget it, let her be proud for a while. Soon enough, she’ll understand.

Su Changsheng sighed inwardly.

Soon, he carried the Ninth Princess towards Wanxiang City.

As for Yuxin, she had been placed early on into a palace artifact by him to avoid being affected by the chaos.

She was probably still bewildered.

Boom!

At the same time, within the secret realm, an epic battle grew increasingly fierce.

The battle between the four Great Saints had already shattered the earth and extended into the depths of the starry sky, where entire star regions were being obliterated, blooming like the most brilliant fireworks.

In the starry sky, chaotic energy surged, divine lights flashed, and various destructive forces permeated the area, as if intending to destroy everything and recreate the world.

Boom!

In the midst of the fierce battle, Aunt Ye struck out with a palm, causing the Lord of the Crimson Refining Demon Palace to vomit blood. His towering figure staggered, nearly being torn apart.

His heart was filled with both resentment and shock.

How could this woman be so monstrous, fighting one against three with such dominance, without losing any ground?

Fortunately, they only needed to hold her off; the rest could be handled by others.

“Ah!”

At that moment, a heartrending roar echoed, filled with boundless sorrow.

The Lord of the Demon Palace looked over and saw King Tian Cang roaring, his face filled with grief.

Murderous intent surged in his eyes.

“My son, you are actually dead. This is impossible!” King Tiancang roared, his heart filled with immense sorrow.

That was his most cherished child, with an extremely pure bloodline, nearly pureblood. In the future, he had the potential to become a Great Saint and stand alongside him. What an honor that would have been.

To nurture this child, he had even entrusted him with the task of hunting down the Ninth Princess. Once successful, he could catch the attention of that esteemed figure and perhaps gain significant favor.

In the future, he could soar to great heights, and becoming a Quasi-Emperor wouldn’t be out of the question.

He had planned everything meticulously, but unexpectedly, it all fell apart at the final step.

“What?”

The Lord of the Demon Palace was shocked upon hearing this. How could that Ninth Princess be so heaven-defying, able to kill a Saint King even in such a dire situation?

But soon, the Lord of the Demon Palace’s expression also turned grim.

He carefully sensed the situation of the black-horned youth and the other Demon Palace Saints.

He discovered that they had all perished.

This realization made his face darken. Could it be that the Ninth Princess had counter-killed everyone?

An Imperial Court Princess, truly this heaven-defying?

“Damn it!”

On the other side, the Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom was also furious. His subordinates had all fallen as well.

“A bunch of useless trash!”

He roared, no longer maintaining his original composure, his eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent.

The plan had actually failed?

“Hmph, it seems your plan has failed. You overestimated yourselves, and soon, you will taste the bitter fruit of your actions!” Aunt Ye sneered coldly upon witnessing this scene.

“Not playing with you anymore!”

With that, she swung her long sword, slicing a massive rift in the starry sky, and then her figure slipped through it, leaving the secret realm.

The three of them watched coldly.
