Section 3

Su Zhou could already be called an… Immortal!

“Big Brother!! You’ve entered the External Manifestation Realm! This is great, Big Brother!!”

As Li Liang was pinned to the ground, the Su Family Disciples, who had been suppressed by his True Qi, regained their freedom.

They recognized Su Zhou; it was none other than the Su Family Clan Leader they had been longing for, Su Zhou!

“It’s Clan Chief Su!”

“The Clan Chief was the strongest in Tianwu ten years ago, and now that he’s emerged from seclusion, our Su Family’s death trap has been broken!!!”

“Greetings, Clan Chief Su!”

“Clan Chief, the Su Family has suffered greatly and has been in decline for too long!!!”

“Clan Chief Su, have you… entered the External Manifestation Realm?”

They looked at Su Zhou excitedly, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

They were waiting for an answer.

Looking at their hopeful gazes, Su Zhou nodded slightly and said, “I was lucky enough to enter the External Manifestation Realm.”

Su Zhou’s body vibrated, and powerful True Yuan erupted.

Instantly, the Su Family Disciples, one after another, burst into tears.

These Disciples, who had resisted fiercely even under Li Liang’s Realm suppression, were now sobbing like children.

Some were so overwhelmed they couldn’t even stand.

Su Chao tremblingly got up and came before Su Zhou: “Big Brother, you’ve finally returned.”

“Second Brother, your Cultivation…” Su Zhou supported his younger brother.

Frowning slightly, the biggest reason he had been able to seclude himself with peace of mind was Su Chao’s Breakthrough to the Nine Apertures Realm.

But now, Su Chao’s body was suffering from Qi and blood loss, his Foundation was weak, and he had dropped two major Realms.

However, in response to Su Zhou’s question, Su Chao shook his head helplessly.

“Big Brother, let’s talk about this later. I’m sorry… the Su Family, in my hands…” Su Chao was filled with shame.

However, before he could finish, Su Zhou interrupted him.

“You have never wronged the Su Family. From now on, leave it to me!” Su Zhou’s voice was gentle.

Su Chao felt the melancholy that had been pressing on his heart for years beginning to dissipate.

Su Zhou’s palm clenched, and True Yuan surged like a mighty river.

“No!! Su Clan Leader!! Su Clan Leader!! This is a misunderstanding!! A misunderstanding!”

“It was the Ma Family Family, along with several other great Families, who made us their pawns. Our Li Family was just putting on a show. Really…”

“Su Clan Leader, please believe me, our Li Family has always been the Su Family’s most loyal dog!!”

Li Liang knelt on the ground, wailing, blood continuously seeping from his wounds, a truly miserable sight.

But the Su Family members looked at him with nothing but boundless hatred.

Su Zhou didn’t even glance at him, his voice unhurried: “I’m actually very curious, who gave you the audacity to observe the Su Family in secret?”

“Have you forgotten how the Su Family’s name came to be? Have you forgotten who I truly am!?”

“Since you’ve come, there’s no need to leave!”

Su Zhou seemed to be talking to himself, and then…

He clenched his palm slightly.

Bang!!

The previously noisy pleas for mercy disappeared, and golden True Yuan roared and exploded like an enraged Dragon!

Then, that powerful True Yuan vanished into the darkness.

Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!

Several muffled thuds followed, and several figures slumped directly to the ground.

They were the spies from other Families who had followed the Li Family, intending to probe the Su Family’s true strength.

The moment Su Zhou appeared, shock, fear, and other emotions surged through their hearts.

They had wanted to escape quickly, but… in front of that figure, they couldn’t even move their feet, such a simple thing, and could only watch as the terrifying True Yuan crushed them to death.

Facing the astonishing battle prowess Su Zhou displayed,

Even the Su Family members couldn’t help but gasp, marveling at the strength of their Clan Chief!

Their gazes towards Su Zhou became even more fanatical, more worshipful; even if Su Zhou told them to die now, they would do so without hesitation!

From beginning to end, Su Zhou never once truly looked at Li Liang.

The other party was right about one thing: the Li Family was a dog. In these ten years, they had become dogs for other Families, biting their former master.

And such a dog didn’t even have the qualifications to speak with Su Zhou!

Just as he once didn’t even have the qualifications to step into the Su Family’s main hall.

“Uncle.” Su Bu Ku bowed to Su Zhou, performing a Junior’sRei. At this moment, he no longer had the strange expression he had shown when facing Li Liang, but was like an ordinary young man.

“Bu Ku, you’ve grown so big.” The last time Su Zhou saw Su Bu Ku, he was still a seven or eight-year-old child. Now he had grown so much.

He hadn’t expected his seclusion to last ten years.

He patted Su Bu Ku’s shoulder.

The expression on his face froze.

The ethereal System voice sounded in his ears.

[Ding!! Detected a Blue Grade Family member, investment possible.]

Chapter 4: Investment Returns, Heaven and Earth Mourn Autumn, Frost Kills All Things!! (Seeking Data)

[Detected a Blue Quality Clansman, investment possible!]

[Invest in Profound Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique Falling Glow Skill to receive Earth Rank Peak Grade Cultivation Technique as reward]

He couldn’t help but look at Su Bu Ku.

[Name: Su Bu Ku]

[Realm: Qi Transformation Great Perfection.]

[Fate: Blue (Note: This Clansman has a special Physique. If the Seal is lifted, Aptitude can be upgraded to Gold)]

[Comprehension Ability: Genius]

[Root Bone: High Grade]

[Realm: Qi Transformation Realm Great Perfection]

[Aptitude: Killing Intent Bodhi Physique (Sealed)]

[Killing Intent Bodhi Physique: The more killing, the faster strength grows; this is the path of Killing Intent. The stronger the good thoughts, the faster Comprehension Ability improves; this is the path of Bodhi.]

[Opportunity: Born a Killing God, heart like a cold pond, killing all things, yet possessing a Buddha’s heart to save all beings, bearing immeasurable Killing Intent.]

[Quality Rank: Mortal < Commoner < High Grade < Genius < Prodigy < Peerless < Prodigy < World-Suppressing < Heaven-Controlling]

Looking at Su Bu Ku’s information, Su Zhou couldn’t help but be startled.

The Fate Quality of Clansmen was divided into White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red, Black.

So-called Fate becoming Luck, also influenced by Aptitude, Root Bone, and various factors,

In the System’s evaluation standards, White was already considered the bearing of a superior person,

Green could be called a Genius, and Blue was even rarer, deserving the title of Prodigy or Prodigy. Many Saints and inheritors of great sects were only of this Blue Aptitude.

His nephew having Blue Aptitude was already a pleasant surprise, and even more surprising was that he possessed a special Physique.

Although the Physique was sealed, once unsealed, his Fate could reach Gold.

Gold Aptitude represented having the qualification to contend for the title of Son of Heaven.

As for Red and Black, beings with those two Aptitudes, as long as they didn’t perish, even Fate in the future would be their plaything.

Such Aptitude, across countless worlds, could only give birth to a mere handful of individuals, still too far for Su Zhou.

As for what to invest in.

Su Zhou pondered for a moment, then with a thought, took out a Cultivation Technique from his Storage Ring.

“Bu Ku, you performed very well just now. The Su Family’s backbone must not bend!

Keep this Falling Glow Skill safe!”

The Falling Glow Skill was a Profound Rank Low Grade Martial Skill, a Family heirloom Cultivation Technique passed down through the Su Family since ancient times.
