After she spoke, she even pulled out a palm-sized statue of the Mysterious Lady from the side.

Pure white and flawless, possessing both the majesty of a deity and the charm of the Mysterious Lady...

Su Mengzhen said, "You’ve already reached Six-tails, Mysterious Lady must be more formidable. I... I... I want to ask her for guidance on the subsequent Cultivation Dharma Methods and also wish to be close to her."

Song Cheng:...

Seeing his silence, Su Mengzhen added, "If it’s not possible then forget it."

Song Cheng said, "I promise you, but it seems the Mysterious Lady is in seclusion, and I can’t find her... firstly follow Yu and me to the Imperial Capital, I assure you, the moment there’s a chance, I will let you meet Mysterious Lady."

Su Mengzhen and he were already close, even if Song Cheng had not agreed, she would have followed him to the Imperial Capital, so she smiled and said, "Then that’s settled."

...

...

The Su Family also made proper arrangements, with no issues from any party.

The An Family started moving south with large carriages and small carts.

This journey took them a full two months.

And just as everyone had left the north, the Ghost Tide erupted behind them...

However, the area ravaged by the Ghost Tide had no civilians, and between Northern Snow State, East Sea State and Feather State, there was a vast wasteland...

To spread to the next state, it would still take a very long time.

Song Cheng’s family arrived at the Imperial Capital and went deep into the Imperial City. Though they did not enter the Imperial Palace, they settled in the most luxurious mansion beside the palace.

The next day, the Emperor’s rewards arrived...

Song Cheng was appointed as King Song, An Chenyu and Madam Tong were appointed as First-Rank Imperial Madams...

These were just official titles on the surface.

Nevertheless, Song Cheng finally settled down.

And once a person settled down, once life became regular, and once the crisis diminished, time began to pass quickly...

...

Song Cheng quickly began various necessary explorations and studies, as well as consolidating his position.

He tested the elephant mask and discovered that this mask was a kind of special Tricky Device, but the Tricky Device was controlled by people... in Song Cheng’s hands, it could not function. However, one thing was certain, this mask had a bewitching effect.

...

He also used the Noble Family Longevity Ice Coffin to test the "longevity" capability.

He placed a death row inmate into the ice coffin, but not only did the inmate not live longer, he was frozen to death directly.

When they took him out of the ice coffin, the inmate’s body was stiff all over, frozen solid from the inside out.

Song Cheng continued testing, sending Qi Realm warriors and criminals of strength, vigor, form, and qi into the ice coffin, but the results didn’t change, not even the time it took them to freeze to death...

Because, as soon as they entered the coffin, they froze.

For a noble family child, this ice coffin could double the lifespan, but for ordinary people, even for Qi Realm Warriors, it was a deadly "weapon".

...

Using his unique identity and the disparity in information, he started "collecting family slaves."

He constantly added his name to the family trees of major families across the states, and then... one by one, he brought all the major families into the Ninefold Ghostly Tower.

Until... he, Song Cheng, became the family head of every family except the Su Family.

But few of the family members knew, still thinking their own family head had not changed, still thinking King Song was just a "multi-surname family slave."

Song Cheng painstakingly engaged in these tasks.

Before his time travel, he read some novels and was puzzled, not understanding why, when the protagonist had an absolute advantage, they didn’t spend time turning these advantages into benefits?

Now, he found these tasks very comforting to undertake.

The entire Dashang Dynasty was becoming an autocracy under his Song Cheng’s control.

...

The Xuanwu Taoist Temple grew increasingly powerful, quickly replacing the original Buddhism belief.

Besides this, there was also the Mysterious Lady Palace.

Saint Heavenly Buddha disappeared... priests were gone.

Instead, there were Taoists.

Facing pressure from all sides, the Barbarian King directly sent back Lady Zhushan...

Song Cheng had Lady Zhushan brought to King Song’s Mansion, letting her stay in the same courtyard with Madam Tong, to foster a full mentor-disciple relationship.

As for the Beast Taming Method, he no longer needed to go through Lady Zhushan to obtain it, being the actual family head of Feather State Noble Family, he had already learned the Barbarian Tribes’ Beast Taming Method from the family’s subordinates.

He passed this method to Song An.

Compared to Ting, Song An was really very ordinary.

But living in an extraordinary family, Song An was also rapidly becoming outstanding, yet... that was only among ordinary people.

...

As for Song Cheng himself, while consolidating major families, he was also quickly obtaining the Cultivation Techniques of these noble families.

He was absorbing all the power he could get his hands on...

...

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed...

Lady Zhushan’s lifespan had come to an end.

One day, she suddenly said "I feel a little unwell," then went back to her couch, lay down for a while, and then closed her eyes and passed away...

Madam Tong, who was closest to her, had tears in her eyes.

But Madam Tong knew that in the realm of mortals, Lady Zhushan had lived a long life and had an unimaginable life experience; in her old age, she had also enjoyed the joys of family life... this should actually be a time for celebration.

But for some reason, she just felt like crying.

She glanced again at her husband by her side.

Since she had been with her husband for nineteen years, she had become a married woman, but her husband was still a young man.

A Noble Family Child can live for nine decades, and advancing further could extend this even more.

Her husband was an existence that could live for a thousand years without even entering the ice coffin.

For a moment, she wasn’t sure if she was crying over Lady Zhushan’s old age and death, or over being just a passing companion in her husband’s life.

Soon, Lady Zhushan was placed into a coffin.

Incense mist enveloped the body, the coffin was wide open, family members circled around to pay their respects to the visage one last time.

Lady Zhushan’s previously beautiful face finally lost its color, becoming wrinkled, waxen, with sparse white hair...
