Section 40

“Greetings, Clan Chief!!!”

A sound like a mountain tsunami exploded, and all the Su Family members looked at Su Zhou with immense adoration.

The Su Family’s current achievements were all thanks to this god-like existence.

“Uncle is even stronger now…” Su Bu Ku held his simple blade, his Killing Intent like a cold abyss.

After a year of tempering, his understanding of the true meaning of slaughter had deepened, but for some unknown reason, in the depths of his being, his Physique was not limited to slaughter.

He knew clearly that that step only mattered if he took it himself; once he took that step, his strength would undergo an earth-shattering improvement.

“I must become stronger faster!”

“The current me… can’t help Uncle at all…”

“And… Mother’s matter… isn’t that simple either… I must be even faster!”

For all these years, Su Bu Ku had always believed his mother had passed away, but one day after the Su Family moved into Lingxiao Blessed Land, Su Chao got drunk.

He grabbed his son and cried bitterly, telling Su Bu Ku to wait a little longer, to wait until the Su Family became stronger.

Only then did Su Bu Ku realize that his mother was still alive, but he didn't mention it, instead keeping it deep in his heart.

Become stronger, become even stronger, only then could he bring his mother back! Only then could he help Uncle!

Driven by this thought, even though the Su Family now had a surge of talents, and he wasn't the only Su Family member with Purple Aptitude, Su Bu Ku's strength still ranked highest among the young people of the Su Family.

“Clan Chief… just what kind of person are you…”

“That black robe on him must be a Heaven Rank Treasure Artifact, right…”

“And that incredibly pure True Qi… Oh my god… A hundred stars!!!”

Su Yang looked up at Su Zhou, feeling swallowed by an immense sense of absurdity.

This past year, he hadn't been idle; besides secretly consuming Medicinal Pills to become stronger, he also found a fragment of the Nine Tribulation Sword.

This granted him a second ability: Heaven Observation.

Which meant he could see through others’ cultivation and combat power, but what did he just see?

Damn it, the Clan Chief, who was in the First Realm of Celestial Star Realm, actually had a hundred stars inside him, shining in unison!

What kind of Heaven-Defying, terrifying method was this?!

Looking back at his past and present lives, he had never seen such a terrifying existence.

“Damn it, this life I finally get to experience what it’s like to have a powerful backer!”

“No wonder those Young Masters of aristocratic families love to show off; I’m almost unable to hold back now…”

Before his Rebirth, he had experienced all the hardships of life and tasted all the bitterness of the world; now, he had the feeling of a serf turning over and singing.

“Revered Master… Clan Chief’s strength has become even more terrifying…” Su Yan sighed inwardly.

Yao Chen couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

“Hehe… yes… yes… little brother, your Clan Chief’s strength is truly unfathomable…”

He said this, but in his mind, he thought: “Who would believe that someone in the Celestial Star Realm could possess such terrifying methods?!”

“Is it truly a Great Emperor playing a cultivation game…?”

“I must not let anything slip, if I spoil the Great Emperor’s mood…” Yao Chen, who was only a Divine Soul, couldn’t help but shiver.

Su Zhou was unaware of the complicated thoughts of the crowd, nor did he care, instead looking down at the gathered Su Family members.

Feeling their powerful aura and the continuously thickening Luck.

A smile appeared on Su Zhou’s face.

“Effective immediately, the Su Family abolishes all distinctions of main Family, branch Family, collateral lines, and direct descendants!”

These words, without exception, shattered all Family systems in this world, even changing the very foundation of families.

If this were in other clans, it would surely cause a monumental uproar.

But this was the Su Family!

Within the Su Family, Su Zhou’s words were equivalent to the rules themselves!

Because everyone knew that the Su Family’s development to this day, all its resources, came from the Clan Chief.

The Su Family’s current achievements were also solely borne by Su Zhou!

Therefore, what Su Zhou said was like a heavenly rule, or rather, Su Zhou was the Heaven of Lingxiao, the Heaven of the Su Family!

“All Disciples in the Family are treated equally, everything is based on strength, and contribution is king!”

“As long as you have strength, in the Su Family, you can get everything you want!”

“Those with outstanding strength, regardless of background, will be listed in the Su Family’s sequence and enjoy the highest resources!”

“Next, let me introduce a few people…” Su Zhou’s voice carried an indescribable solemnity.

“Su Bu Ku!”

“Here!” Su Bu Ku responded, striding out with Killing Intent as vast as an abyss and sea, drawing everyone’s attention!

“Su Bu Ku, nineteen years old, Fourth Realm of External Manifestation Realm!”

Upon hearing this, the Su Family members all turned their heads; they knew Su Bu Ku.

He was the Clan Chief’s nephew, cold-faced but kind-hearted, often leading familiar Su Family members into the mountains for training.

But they hadn’t expected him to possess such strength.

He actually had the Fourth Realm of External Manifestation Realm, which could even rival the strength of several stewards.

“From now on, you will temporarily be the Third Sequence of the Su Family, granted the title ‘Third Butcher’, bestowed the Spirit Peak ‘Butcher Peak’, and may visit Lingxiao Peak at any time for guidance from me.”

“You may take three treasures from the Contribution Pavilion!”

“Additionally, you are awarded a Fierce Wind Heavenly Steed as a mount in the External Manifestation Realm!”

As the words fell, a brilliant light immediately rushed from the sky.

A cry, neither entirely horse nor entirely eagle, echoed across the heavens.

It was precisely the incomparably magnificent Fierce Wind Heavenly Steed!

Such an extraordinarily majestic mount, possessing powerful cultivation, was not only a great combat force but also a symbol of status.

Not to mention the immense preciousness of the Fierce Wind Heavenly Steed; looking across the entire Divine Xia Empire, perhaps only Su Zhou could make such a grand gesture.

Such a reward immediately made countless people envious, not to mention the reward of being able to take three items from the Contribution Pavilion at will.

The Contribution Pavilion was the most valuable place in the Su Family; as long as one had enough contribution points, whether it was Earth Rank Treasure Artifacts, supreme Cultivation Techniques, or precious Medicinal Pills, or great Dao Rhyme Medicinal Herbs, all could be exchanged there.

However, the more precious the treasure, the higher the required contribution points; many treasures had contribution points in the millions.

Now, Su Bu Ku could actually choose three items at will.

And what astonished everyone the most was the ability to visit Lingxiao Peak for guidance at any time.

What kind of place was Lingxiao Peak? That was where the Clan Chief resided; being able to enter and exit at will, this favor was enviable, it was practically cultivating him as a Young Clan Chief!

It showed how terrifying the benefits of entering this sequence were!

“Thank you, Clan Chief!!” Su Bu Ku suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowing respectfully to Su Zhou, his eyes filled with even greater reverence.

Su Zhou nodded slightly, continuing to speak unhurriedly.

“Su Yan, step forward!”

“Nineteen years old, First Realm of External Manifestation Realm!”

Chapter 49: Second Sword Revered Master, Fourth Heaven-Burning, First… Longevity!

“What!! First Realm of External Manifestation Realm!! Another Prodigy?!”

“Who is this Su Yan?? I’ve never heard of him!”

“Is it another Prodigy from the main Family?!”

“No!! I’ve heard of Su Yan, he’s the Young Master of the Wudan branch Family, his cultivation once fell…”

Amidst the discussions of the Su Family members.

Su Yan, dressed in black, slowly stepped forward, his eyes calm, his expression normal, with a huge Heaven-Supporting Ruler on his back.

“Su Yan here!”

“Greetings, Clan Chief!” Su Yan stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Su Zhou.

In his heart, Su Zhou had bestowed upon him the grace of Rebirth; it was not only the resources given but also the support for his inner self.

That phrase, “As Heaven maintains vigor through movements, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-perfection,” had always motivated him.

Su Zhou looked at him, smiled faintly, and continued.

“From now on, you shall be the Fourth Sequence of the Su Family, granted the title ‘Fourth Heaven-Burning’, bestowed the Spirit Peak ‘Heaven-Burning Peak’, and may visit Lingxiao Peak at any time for guidance.”

“You may enter the Contribution Pavilion and choose two treasures at will.”

“Additionally, you are awarded a Fierce Wind Heavenly Steed!”

“Thank you, Clan Chief!” Su Yan bowed, his expression unchanged.
