39: Chapter 39 Half-Step to Godhood?

"Boom—!!"

As Wu Jitian brought his palm down, the entire sky above Azure Cloud City seemed to be boiling.

That was no ordinary giant palm of spiritual energy, but a strike gathered from the Great Zhou Golden Dragon of Fortune, elevated to the Half-step Spirit Transformation level!

In the sky, that golden Dharma image, hundreds of feet tall, glared with wide eyes, as if a primordial God King were delivering divine punishment.

Before the giant palm even arrived, the terrifying wind pressure had already caused the ground outside Azure Cloud City to crack inch by inch, the moat water to flow backward and evaporate, and countless Qi Cultivators fainted under this pressure.

This was the ceiling of combat power in the Southern Territory!

"It's over..."

At the entrance of the main hall of the Su Family, Su Mu watched the golden palm covering the sky, his face pale as paper.

He was already a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, yet the higher his cultivation rose, the more fear he felt toward this kind of power.

Su Yan was completely sober now, looking at the giant palm print in the sky with a look of shock.

Is this the power of the strong?

"I am truly a piece of trash!" Su Yan clenched his fists in secret.

He already had the Legacy of the Pill Venerable, so why was he still so weak?

Why did Su Feng have to bear the burden alone every time a crisis arrived?!

Su Yuan's usually playful face was filled with seriousness at this moment; he believed in Su Feng and knew Su Feng would never fight a battle without being prepared.

But this feeling of having to rely on the Head of the Su Family for everything made him very unhappy!

Must become stronger! Must become stronger!

At this moment, a seed named 'the strong' was taking root and sprouting wildly in the hearts of the younger generation of the Su Family.

However.

Facing this world-destroying strike that seemed capable of wiping out all of Azure Cloud City.

Su Feng remained seated in the pavilion, even having the leisure to drink a cup of wine.

Lin Qingxue and Yan Ling'er also appeared beside Su Feng, cradling their large bellies.

"Husband?"

"Brother Su Feng!"

"Be careful, don't startle the children."

He glanced faintly at the sky, his eyes devoid of any ripples.

Although the Great Qin Ancestor did not know what trump cards Su Feng possessed, this composure alone had already earned his recognition.

The next instant.

"Boom—!!!"

The golden giant palm slammed solidly onto the seemingly fragile light barrier of the Su Family's Formation!

Heaven and earth fell silent!

The blinding golden light made everyone instinctively close their eyes.

Ying Yue'e gripped Su Feng's sleeve nervously, while the Great Qin Ancestor circulated his spiritual energy wildly, ready to intercept the strike at any moment.

But...

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

The scene of the Formation shattering and the Su Family being reduced to ruins, which had been expected, did not appear.

There wasn't even the slightest aftermath of an explosion spreading out.

When everyone opened their eyes trembling with fear!

They saw that pale golden light barrier...

Motionless!

Let alone shattering, it hadn't even rippled!

It hadn't even been bent by a fraction by that thin layer of light!

It was as if an egg had smashed hard against a wall of ten-thousand-year black iron!

"What?!"

Wu Jitian's pupils in mid-air shrank to the size of needles, and the arrogance on his face instantly froze.

"How is this possible?! With this palm strike of mine, even a Cultivator of the same level would have to avoid its edge! This Formation... how can it have no reaction at all?!"

He did not believe it!

"Come again!!"

Wu Jitian roared, mobilizing all his spiritual energy once more, even burning a trace of his Lifespan, and bombarded the light barrier madly!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a dozen consecutive strikes, other than shaking his own blood and Qi, the Formation remained as steady as Mount Tai, quietly mocking his incompetence.

"This... these Formation patterns... this power of the Dao..."

"If it were a Formation spirit, the Formation would definitely have fluctuations in Spiritual Qi..."

"But this Formation... it is as immovable as a mountain, impervious to all techniques!"

Wu Jitian trembled all over, and cold sweat instantly soaked his dragon robe.

He realized it! He had completely realized it!

No wonder Su Feng dared to be so arrogant!

No wonder that Old thing Ying Zheng helped the Su Family so much!

How could this be a small Family?

Even those ancient Holy Lands in the Central Plains that had been passed down for ten thousand years might not have a sect-protecting Formation of this level!

"Behind the Su Family... hides a True God!!"

"It's over... I've kicked an iron plate this time..."

In his heart, Wu Jitian cursed his great-granddaughter Wu Qin to the point of being bloody.

Who couldn't you provoke, but you had to provoke the descendant of such a hidden master?!

He took a deep breath and performed an action that left everyone dumbfounded.

This Great Zhou Old Ancestor actually dissipated all his pressure, straightened his dragon robe, and bowed deeply toward Azure Cloud City!

"Junior Wu Jitian, having eyes but failing to recognize Mount Tai, did not know that a Senior expert was presiding here!"

"For the offense committed today, this Junior is willing to accept any punishment!"

His voice was respectful and humble, even carrying a hint of ingratiation.

He, Wu Jitian, had lived for over a thousand years; what had he relied on?

Not innate talent, not a firm Dao Heart.

He relied on the ability to bend and stretch.

Inside the pavilion.

Su Feng looked at Wu Qin, who had completely petrified at the entrance, and said amusedly.

"Don't forget the bet!"

Wu Qin just wanted to refute, but suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

She knew this was the contract taking effect.

She was a woman with extremely strong self-esteem, but at this moment, she had to lower her head.

She couldn't help but curse in her heart, this hateful guy, he must have done it on purpose!

To have this strength yet be willing to hide in this remote small city, he is truly a jerk!

Su Feng walked over and rubbed Wu Qin's head, and Wu Qin glared at him angrily.

"Jerk! Even if you have my body, you won't get my heart!"

Su Feng smiled slightly, not only not getting angry but instead grabbing her wrist and taking a step out.

Hum!

Space shifted, and in the blink of an eye, they were outside Azure Cloud City.

The moment Wu Qin saw Wu Jitian, the grievance she had been suppressing finally erupted, her eyes reddening, and she was about to shout:

"Old Ancestor..."

"Shut up!!"

Who would have known, Wu Jitian not only did not comfort her but instead scolded her with a serious expression.

Afterward, when this Great Zhou Old Ancestor turned to Su Feng, his face was instantly filled with a spring-like smile, the speed of his change so fast it was shocking:

"You must be Young Friend Su Feng, right? Truly a hero among youth, a dragon among men! To have such achievements and foundation at this age, even in the Central Plains, you are a rare talent!"

"Although my great-granddaughter has been spoiled, her Bloodline talent is still quite good; it's just that she has caused you trouble."

Su Feng nodded and went with the flow:

"She has indeed caused me quite a bit of trouble, so... the subsequent cultivation expenses for the child of Wu Qin and me, your Great Zhou will need to cover entirely."

"There is such a good thing?!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jitian was not angry, but instead overjoyed in his heart!

How big of a deal is this? Their Great Zhou alone has tens of thousands of royal descendants; what is raising one child?

The key is that this child is Su Feng's descendant!

If this child is born, it will be ironclad proof of the marriage between Great Zhou and the Su Family, a chain for Great Zhou to hold onto a powerful thigh!

"Easy! Easy!"

Wu Jitian smiled from ear to ear and immediately admonished Wu Qin:

"Qin'er! Since you have this fate with Young Friend Su and can be united in marriage, this is a fortunate event for our Great Zhou! It is also your blessing!"

"I, your Old Ancestor, will agree to this marriage on behalf of your father the Emperor today! You must manage the household well, support your husband and raise your children, and must never play the princess temper again! Do you hear me?!"

Wu Qin's mouth was already pouting to the sky.

She didn't like Su Feng...

Let alone having to bear children for Su Feng.

This made her feel uncomfortable all over, feeling like she had been backstabbed by the whole world.

"There is one more thing." Su Feng suddenly said.

Wu Jitian's heart skipped a beat; he knew it wouldn't be that easy.

"Young Friend Su, please speak. As long as our Great Zhou can do it, there will be no second word!"

Su Feng's gaze was deep, looking toward the direction of the Su Family compound where Su Yan was, and said faintly:

"Please trouble the Old Ancestor to go back and notify them, let that Third Princess of Great Zhou wait for three years."

"Three years later, if my younger brother Su Yan still insists, I will personally go to propose marriage."

Wu Qin was stunned for a moment.

The Third Princess of Great Zhou? Isn't that her third younger sister, Wu Shiwen, who has a gentle personality? She also has a relationship with the Su Family?

"Is it that girl Wu Shiwen?" Wu Jitian was a bit uncertain; he had been in seclusion for some time, only vaguely remembering this descendant who also had quite a bit of talent.

But none of that mattered!

What mattered was Su Feng's attitude!

"No problem!" Wu Jitian patted his chest to guarantee.

"This old man can completely make the decision! Within three years, she shall not be betrothed to anyone else!"

"In that case, then many thanks." Su Feng cupped his hands very kindly.

The current Su Family still needed time to grow. Although the Nine Dragons Locking Heaven Formation could protect the Su Family territory, their Su Family could not huddle in the Formation forever.

And as for his cousin Su Yan, he would only create an opportunity for the other party to let him see himself clearly, and also see this world clearly.

Only by experiencing it can one truly grow.

Having resolved the matters here, Su Feng looked up toward the horizon.

The people Wu Qin spoke of should be unable to sit still soon.
