Chapter 4

"Father, I know my sins and am ready for your punishment." Su Han did not tremble at all; on his way back with Su Ming, he had already prepared himself to accept any punishment.

"Punishment?" Su Hao let out a low hum, his fierce gaze glaring at Su Han: "Su He, according to the family rules, what punishment should Su Han receive?"

A middle-aged man on the left side of Su Hao stood up from his seat and knelt on one knee: "Father, the crime committed by my third brother should result in the self-destruction of his martial arts and his expulsion from the Su family."

Su Hao took a deep breath, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes. Clenching his fists, he said in a low voice: "Su Han, did you hear that?"

"Big Brother, wait a moment."

An old man behind Su Hao moved to stop Su Han, who was about to self-destruct his martial arts, and knelt down before Su Hao: "Big Brother, although Su Han has committed a crime, it is too much to destroy his martial arts. He is the most promising to reach the Celestial Spirit Realm after you. I suggest demoting him from the position of Grand Commander and letting him continue to fight for the Su family to make up for his crime."

"Big Brother, I agree with Second Brother's opinion. The Su family is short of people now, and Su Han has made many contributions to the Su tribe over the years. Although his contributions do not outweigh his crimes, they can reduce his punishment." Another old man behind Su Hao also knelt down to plead for Su Han.

"Clan Leader, please think carefully."

At this moment, everyone in the hall, except for Su Han's two brothers, knelt down to plead for Su Han.

Su Hao glanced around the hall, a hint of satisfaction and disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"Su Han is demoted from the position of Grand Commander to Deputy Commander, and he will never be allowed to hold the position of Grand Commander again. He will spend his life fighting for the Su family to atone for his crimes." Su Hao announced the punishment for Su Han in a low voice and then left the hall.

After Su Hao left, the others in the hall gradually dispersed, leaving Su Han with a look of disappointment. This result was the best for him, but his appearance was as if he had lost his most precious thing.

The news of Su Ming's miraculous recovery did not cause much of a stir in the Su family. Most of the Su family's attention was focused on the stability of the Su tribe. After this battle, the Su tribe's strength was severely damaged, and it faced the danger of being invaded by neighboring tribes.

Su Ming's miraculous performance on the battlefield caught the attention of his two uncles. According to the soldiers who returned from the battlefield, the sword Su Ming used was at least a mid-level initial stage magical treasure. This level of magical treasure only existed in one in the Su family, which was Su Hao's personal weapon—the Flowing Cloud War Saber.

Fortunately, when Su Ming escaped from the Crescent Moon territory, he had nothing on him, making everyone in the Su family believe that the sword had fallen on the battlefield and was picked up by the Crescent Moon tribe. Otherwise, they would definitely have forced Su Ming to hand over the Dragon God Sword.

Su Family Grand Commander's Residence

After a night's rest, Su Ming's body had recovered. From the memories of this body, Su Ming learned about his background, the tribe, and some basic information about the Divine Sealing Continent.

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Su Ming examined his new self. He was 1.78 meters tall, with a head of black hair, sharp and spirited eyes, a well-defined face, healthy skin, and a strong physique. He was very satisfied with this appearance.

At this moment, he had fully accepted the fact that he had been transported to the post-Yellow Emperor era and was even looking forward to his future life.

In his previous life, Su Ming was a top-tier gamer, with a flexible mind and rich combat experience. He also had some knowledge of the post-Yellow Emperor era.

"This world is similar to the God and Devil Battle Heaven online game, where the virtual has become reality. Can I...?"

"Master, to become strong on the Divine Sealing Continent, it's not just about thinking; it requires diligent cultivation. You are currently at the mid-stage of the Mortal Heart Realm. Do you want to continue cultivating as an immortal?" the little sprite interrupted Su Ming's thoughts.

Su Ming was awakened by the little sprite's voice. Cultivating as an immortal? If the game's introduction is correct, then the Immortal Realm should have disappeared, and cultivating as an immortal is definitely not possible.

"I will cultivate as a deity. After all, I have the Dragon God Sword. Although I can't use it for six years, after six years, with the Dragon God Sword, I will surely become a great swordsman. Then I will beat those arrogant deities and devils to the ground, making the emperor of the Huaxia Dynasty step down for me and taste the flavor of being the first person in Huaxia."

Su Ming did not realize that games are still games, no matter how realistic they are, they have a human touch. However, the real Divine Sealing Continent is a place filled with danger, where death is a common occurrence.

"Little sprite, I choose to cultivate as a deity. Give me the most powerful cultivation method for deities."

"Master, I have a cultivation method for deities called the Heaven-Slaying Divine Technique, which is an ancient divine-level technique. The task difficulty is the highest level, with a 90% chance of death." the little sprite pouted and said.

"What? Cultivating as a deity has a 90% chance of death?" Su Ming was clearly shocked and asked in confusion.

"Master, because you brought me through the transition, your cultivation is different from that of this era. You just need to complete the tasks I give you to level up, without the tedious meditation and cultivation. The higher the level of the secret manual you choose, the more difficult the leveling tasks will be."

The cultivation methods on the Divine Sealing Continent are ranked as follows: Mortal Stage Martial Techniques, Earth and Spirit Techniques, Heavenly Mansion True Techniques, Purple Star Immortal (Devil) Techniques, and Ancient Divine Techniques.

On the Divine Sealing Continent, Heavenly Mansion True Techniques are already top-level cultivation methods. Purple Star Immortal Techniques are only found in the Immortal and Devil Realms, and Ancient Divine Techniques are only possessed by the Ancient Divine Realm. Any one of these could cause a great stir on the Divine Sealing Continent.

The little sprite's words woke Su Ming up. Indeed, in the game, you must complete the system-issued tasks to level up, and the higher the level, the more difficult the tasks. If you die in the game, you can come back, so there's no need to worry. But now it's the real world, and if you die, it's really over.

As Su Ming hesitated, a phrase he liked the most, and the highest pursuit in the game, came to mind: "Awake, I hold the power of the world; asleep, I rest on the knees of a beauty."

If I can do it in the game, why can't I do it in reality? In this life, I must become a strong person. Su Ming gritted his teeth: "I choose the Heaven-Slaying Divine Technique."

"Heaven-Slaying Divine Technique, an ancient supreme divine technique, the highest realm of cultivation can reach the Ancient War God Realm, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth."

A golden light flashed in Su Ming's mind, and lines of golden text appeared in his mind, as if carved, never to be forgotten.

"Activation of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Technique failed, unable to use. Advanced martial technique—Cloud-Dispelling Palm successfully activated, can be used."

"Activation failed? What's going on?"

"Master, because you have the body of an immortal cultivator, you must complete the conversion task to transform from an immortal cultivator to a deity cultivator, thus activating the Heaven-Slaying Divine Technique."

"What task?" Su Ming looked puzzled.

"Master, this task is simple but not suitable for you to take now. When the time is right, I will propose it. For now, it's best to practice your movement techniques and then go to the forest or swamp to hunt beasts."
