Chapter 1085: Secret Realm Arrangements! Let's Hit Them With Something Big!

For Su Tianrui, it wasn't all that uncommon for top-tier powerhouses to have multiple wives or husbands.

But he hadn't expected that his own daughter was merely one of Xu Jingming's many beauties.

And judging by Su Qingli's demeanor, she didn't seem to have any aversion to it either.

"Ling Shuang is a girl I watched grow up, so she counts as half a daughter of mine.

Since you two both have your hearts set on Xu Jingming, consider that boy lucky — I won't pursue the matter."

Though a little displeased, Su Tianrui ultimately chose to accept it.

"Dad, you're the best!"

Su Qingli's beautiful eyes lit up, then she continued, "Also, there's one more thing — back when Jingming was at Magic University, he had two other girlfriends..."

"Two more?"

Su Tianrui felt his head buzzing and couldn't help cursing, "That brat! Quite the romantic fortune, isn't he!"

Then, looking at Su Qingli, he said, "Xiao Li, you've truly set your heart on him?"

Su Tianrui had devoted himself to cultivation, taking only Su Qingli's mother as his wife for decades.

And after Su Qingli's mother died, he never remarried — a true devotee of pure love.

Xu Jingming enjoying the blessings of four women was clearly a bit beyond his tolerance.

"Mm."

A faint blush rose on Su Qingli's fair, pretty face as she nodded earnestly.

She had long since been shaped entirely by Xu Jingming...

"Enough, enough. Children have their own fortunes. As long as you're happy, all is well."

After a moment of silence, Su Tianrui sighed and ultimately chose to accept it.

Without Xu Jingming, he would still be trapped in the spatial turbulence layer to this day.

And with his daughter Su Qingli herself having no objections, he had even less ground to say anything.

He couldn't possibly try to break up the loving couple, could he?

"Let's go. Time to see that brat."

With a flip of his right hand, Su Tianrui pocketed the Thunder Element Essence with a clear conscience, then strode toward the living room.

Su Qingli followed behind with a faint smile.

Father's hurdle was cleared — he wouldn't do anything to Xu Jingming.

Besides,

with Xu Jingming's current strength, even if Father Su Tianrui made a move, he couldn't do anything to him...

"Senior Su."

In the villa's living room, seeing Su Tianrui walk in, Xu Jingming hurriedly rose to greet him.

"Still calling me Senior?" Su Tianrui raised an eyebrow.

Xu Jingming immediately realized Su Qingli had laid her cards on the table, so he promptly corrected himself: "Hello, Uncle!"

"That's more like it."

Su Tianrui nodded and said, "Xiao Li has already told me about your situation.

I'm not against it, but if I find out you've mistreated her in any way, watch yourself — I..."

As a father, Su Tianrui was still a little uneasy about his daughter.

Just as the lecture was halfway through, sensing Xu Jingming's aura, his words cut off abruptly.

A look of uncertain astonishment crossed his face as he cried out, "Ninth-tier upper? You've actually broken through to ninth-tier upper?

How long was I asleep? Ten years? Twenty?"

He remembered that last time at the Void-Breaking Tower, Xu Jingming had only been at eighth-tier middle.

How could he have broken through to ninth-tier upper in the blink of an eye?

"How could it have been that long, Dad? You were only asleep for a little over three months." Su Qingli covered her mouth with a light laugh.

"Three months? Impossible!" Su Tianrui shook his head instinctively.

"It's true."

Su Qingli smilingly gave Su Tianrui a rough account of what had happened after he fell into slumber.

A few minutes later, Su Tianrui was nearly dumbfounded after hearing the full story.

Xu Jingming had really broken through from eighth-tier middle to ninth-tier upper in just three months!

"The young are truly formidable, truly formidable! In terms of strength, I'm afraid even I might not be your match!"

Su Tianrui murmured in astonishment.

His displeasure over Xu Jingming having multiple beauties vanished in an instant.

Before such monstrous talent, that wasn't a flaw — it was a virtue!

After all, the more descendants, the greater the chance of inheriting Xu Jingming's terrifying talent.

"So you're planning to head to Heizhou next?" Su Tianrui said after recovering from his shock.

He had already learned from Su Qingli about the appearance of the ten-thousand-year-old secret realm space.

"No rush. I'll set out once your ability has evolved to SS-rank, Uncle." Xu Jingming said with a smile.

Breaking the secret realm space would take at least a day, so there was plenty of time no matter when they left.

"Don't worry about me."

Su Tianrui laughed heartily, "The sooner you reach Heizhou, the better your chance to seize the initiative.

It's just an ability evolution, not a breakthrough to Supreme — you don't need to stand guard for me."

"That works too."

After a moment's thought, Xu Jingming nodded.

Amos predicted that the mysterious realm held a suitable opportunity for him; it would indeed be better to reach Heizhou sooner.

"I'll have Liu Wei come assist you shortly."

"Also, Uncle, after your ability evolved, are you going to...?"

Xu Jingming asked tentatively.

"Go to Qingjing, find Li Chen!" Su Tianrui's face turned cold, his eyes filled with killing intent.

He paused, then added: "This grudge is between me and Li Chen—don't interfere."

"Understood." Xu Jingming nodded.

Revenge is best carried out by one's own hands; others' help only spoils the satisfaction.

After summoning Liu Wei to assist Su Tianrui,

Xu Jingming took out his Black Obsidian-class fighter and flew toward Heizhou with Su Qingli and Ling Shuang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the fighter took off, he received a video call request from Zhou Yuanwu.

"Brother Zhou."

Xu Jingming tapped to accept, and Zhou Yuanwu's holographic projection appeared inside the cockpit.

"Hmm."

Zhou Yuanwu gave a slight nod, then continued: "The mystery realm in Heizhou has been fully surveyed—it's indeed a ten-thousand-year-old realm."

But due to its extreme age, the entire space is on the verge of collapse and cannot accommodate supreme-level cultivators."

So we've agreed: each supreme-level faction will send ten ninth-rank ability users into the realm once it opens."

"You should have time to enter this realm soon, right?"

"Yes, I'm already on my way to Heizhou."

Xu Jingming nodded, "Also, I've brought Professor Su and Professor Ling."

"Good," Zhou Yuanwu exhaled in relief.

Xu Jingming is currently the top combatant under Daxia's supreme-level powers.

This exploration of the mystery realm is critically important.

If Xu Jingming doesn't go, Daxia will be left in a severely disadvantageous position.

"I'll count you three as three; I'll find seven others," Zhou Yuanwu added.

Because beast invasions have intensified, he dared not divert too many ninth-rank powerhouses to explore the realm.

This is also why they limited each faction's entry to ten people.

Ten people is a number each supreme-level faction can easily spare.

"If each supreme-level faction sends ten ninth-rankers, then all the strongest ninth-rank ability users on Blue Planet will converge in this realm."

Xu Jingming's eyes blazed with an unprecedented battle spirit.

If he were still only mid-ninth rank, he wouldn't be certain.

But now that he's broken through to upper-ninth rank, he can sweep away every ninth-ranker from other nations!

"Eva, was my breakthrough noisy?"

Xu Jingming's mind stirred—he thought of a plan.

"It was quite loud, but they don't know who broke through," Eva replied.

"Good."

Xu Jingming laughed heartily, "Attribute the noise to Uncle Su—don't reveal my breakthrough."

"Got it!" Eva nodded quickly.

This small task was easy for her.

"Jingming, what are you...?" Su Qingli and Ling Shuang were puzzled.

"Hide my strength—then hit them with a big surprise once we enter the realm!"

Xu Jingming grinned, fully activating his Concealment Technique, quickly suppressing his aura back to mid-ninth rank.

With his current mental strength and the perfected Concealment Technique, even a supreme-level cultivator couldn't detect that he had broken through!
