Chapter 56: Su Changsheng! A Man Who Has the Word “Hidden” Engraved in His Bones!
Tianhan Empire.
Inside the royal palace, King Liu Ran sat high upon the throne.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the fifth prince’s life fire… has been extinguished…” someone below knelt on one knee.
“The fifth prince was at the fifth stage of the Star Holding Realm, cultivated three supreme techniques, and had formidable combat strength.”
“To think he fell at the hands of the Su family… It truly pains Us.”
Liu Ran spoke expressionlessly, his fingers constantly tapping the armrest of the throne.
“The strength of the Su family is far beyond what I had imagined…”
“What a pity, such a family cannot be used by Us…”
“But then again, it was you who provoked an existence you shouldn’t have…”
Liu Ran held a piece of mysterious paper in his hand.
It was just an ordinary piece of xuan paper, yet incomparably sharp—even mystical-grade armor could not withstand its edge.
All because, stamped on that xuan paper…
Were the characters ‘Huaxu’*—with those two characters imprinted, even the plainest paper became akin to a divine weapon!
[*Huaxu as in Huaxu Family]
“After the Bestowment of Names battle ends, mobilize an army of a million and first eliminate…”
“The Su family…”
Liu Ran’s voice was ghostly, tinged with melancholy.
Royalty? The imperial household?
Before true strength, are they not all bound to obey a single piece of paper’s decree?
…
Back on Lingxiao Peak, Su Yang and the other two arrived and respectfully bowed to Su Zhou.
The three of them knew full well that the strength they had today was entirely thanks to Su Zhou.
Their reverence came from the depths of their hearts.
Then, Su Zhou informed them about the opening of the Inheritance Secret Realm in three days.
As for the Tianhan Empire matter, he did not mention it.
He merely asked whether they were willing to enter the Inheritance Secret Realm.
Su Yang was the first to agree.
It was through his words at the beginning that Su Zhou had even come to know of the Secret Realm.
Having been reborn, Su Yang naturally understood just how abundant the resources inside that Secret Realm were—two King-Sealing stage powerhouses had emerged from it.
In his previous life, he didn’t get the chance to enter.
In this life, he would grasp all those opportunities with his own hands.
Moreover, he had a vague feeling—this time, inside the Inheritance Secret Realm, he might once again obtain a fragment of the Nine Tribulation Sword.
Su Buku and Su Yan also immediately agreed.
The former wished to bring glory to the Su family and hoped to find a breakthrough for his mental state.
The latter owed Su Zhou a life-saving grace—if Su Zhou said to die, he would do so without hesitation.
Besides, the Secret Realm held many benefits, and he had a ‘cheat grandpa’ with him.
Entering such an ancient place of inheritance was like having a built-in hack.
After the three agreed, Su Zhou gave them some guidance on cultivation.
Before long, the three of them left Lingxiao Peak one after another.
“As for the last spot…”
Normally, a sect or family would only receive three spots, but the Su family had four.
The final candidate…
Su Zhou’s eyes turned deep and mysterious, gazing toward the most remote mountain peak in Lingxiao Blessed Land.
Calling it a “mountain peak” was generous—at most, it was a large mound.
On the surface, it appeared completely unremarkable.
But from Su Zhou’s stage of cultivation, it was evident that this dirt mound was densely covered in formations.
From aura-concealing, to extreme light-killing, to burrowing and escape—almost every low-stage formation had been set down, and each formation had been stacked dozens or even hundreds of times.
Inside the wooden cabin, someone was reading, someone was cooking, someone was refining pills in the alchemy room, someone was…
The tiny wooden huts appeared bustling, but upon closer look—
All the people had the same face…
In the basement, a young man was still folding paper figurines, with unfinished wooden dolls by his side.
Even Su Zhou couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
This Hidden Immortal protagonist really lived up to the name…
Such an epic hider…
Su Zhou didn’t transmit his divine sense directly to the paper-folding boy, but instead into one of the unfinished wooden puppets.
He relayed everything about the Secret Realm’s opening to Su Changsheng.
Moments later, the puppet gently trembled, and the wooden knife stuck to its body fell to the ground—
It transformed into a dull-faced youth.
Seeing this, even Su Zhou’s mouth twitched.
He knew this family member was modeled on the Hidden Immortal protagonist template, but still—this level of hiding was just too much.
Su Changsheng pondered slightly, then nodded in agreement.
Su Zhou withdrew his divine sense.
Although Su Changsheng was overly cautious, whenever he took action, he had calculated everything down to the last detail!
Not to mention, his cultivation had already surpassed the other three.
Su Zhou had high expectations for him.
Inside the wooden hut, Su Changsheng bowed his head slightly.
His seemingly dull eyes flickered with countless sharp lights.
Hundreds or thousands of thoughts seemed to be operating simultaneously in his mind.
“First hypothesis: the family leader wants to kill me… Rejected.”
“Am I an idiot? To assume such a thing! The family leader gave me techniques, made me first-tier—this hypothesis must never be made again…”
“Second hypothesis: after entering the Blessed Land, other sects will scheme against me.”
“No problem—this time, I’ll deploy my strongest fake body and bring one hundred… no, three hundred doppelgängers!”
“Third hypothesis: the Inheritance Blessed Land is a trap to kill this generation’s top talents…”
“Forty-first hypothesis…”
“Seventy-second hypothesis…”
“Ninety-ninth hypothesis: I go to Qingfeng Mountain now and use my Dimensional Travel Talisman to enter the Secret Realm early.”
“I only have one talisman, but… this will give me a 98% chance of gaining the inheritance.”
“The odds aren’t high, but it’s worth trying!”
Having made his decision, Su Changsheng did not hesitate.
Under the cover of night, two figures flew out of the wooden hut—one ahead, one behind.
The two were identical in appearance and build.
But the one in front had no visible aura, seeming entirely ordinary.

While the one behind was wild and unrestrained, not hiding his overwhelming cultivation—
He stepped on the long wind, true essence radiating, and was already…
In the Heavenly Origin Realm!
