119: Steady development, system upgrade!

Visibly, the other surviving Elders also chimed in.

Their words were filled with helplessness and sorrow.

They had fought in a bloodbath, preserving the last embers of the Sect.

However, the Sect's ten-thousand-year foundation had truly been shattered.

Yet, just as everyone was shrouded in gloom and sighing with despair, only Murong Zhuyun looked at Chen Xu with complete trust.

Others didn't know, but she was incredibly clear.

This man before her simply couldn't be judged by common sense!

He was an existence that constantly created miracles, turning the impossible into possible!

If he said it could be done, it definitely could!

As if to confirm her thoughts, facing everyone's doubts and worries, Chen Xu merely smiled faintly, his face showing no ripples.

"Resources?"

He uttered these two words lightly, then spoke again: "Who said we don't have resources?"

The moment his voice fell, under the bewildered gaze of everyone, Chen Xu slowly raised his hand.

He gently waved it towards the vast ruined square in front of him.

Buzz—!!!

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, immediately after, under the astonished gaze of countless widened eyes, crash—!!!

Countless High-Grade Spirit Stones, shimmering with various spiritual lights, poured out!

In just the blink of an eye, they piled up into one dazzling hundred-zhang-tall mountain after another on the square!

But this was only the beginning!

Following closely behind, various rare Artifact Refining Materials, long extinct in the outside world and only existing in ancient texts, were scattered out like worthless trash!

Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Iron! Star Secret Silver! Deep Sea Sinking Gold! Earth Core Fire Copper!

Each piece was enough to make Nascent Soul Cultivators fight over it!

Each item was enough to serve as a Sect- trấn-Sect Treasure!

But at this moment, they were like sand and gravel, forming long rivers of metal shimmering with precious light, winding and coiling between the Spirit Stone mountains!

This wasn't all!

Various Demonic Path Magic Treasures shimmering with demonic light and powerful aura, sealed Storage Pouches of Demonic Lords, and spoils of war seized from the two great Demonic Lords and countless Demonic Cultivators, were piled up like mountains!

Rumble—!!!

The entire square in front of the main hall of Qingyun Immortal Sect was instantly submerged by this endless wealth!

Spirit Stones formed mountains!

Precious Materials formed rivers!

Magic Treasures formed forests!

The Spiritual Qi and precious light, so dense it almost materialized, shot up into the sky, stirring the clouds and dyeing the entire sky a myriad of colors!

Dead silence!

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence!

All the surviving Disciples of Qingyun Immortal Sect, including those several Grand Elders who had lived for nearly a thousand years, were all as if struck by a body-fixing spell.

They stood frozen in place, their minds blank!

Each of them had their mouths agape, their eyes wide and round, almost popping out of their sockets!

They simply couldn't believe their eyes!

"Gulp."

The Grand Elder who spoke first swallowed with difficulty, feeling his throat extremely dry.

Visibly, his hands trembled uncontrollably as he pointed at the "mountains and rivers" composed of countless resources before him, his lips quivering, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"This... this... this..."

He stammered "this" for a long time, then his legs gave out, and with a "thud," he directly collapsed onto the ground.

Clearly, he was utterly awestruck by the scene before him!

The Elders and Disciples behind him were no better.

Each of them had wide eyes and rapid breathing, feeling as if their hearts were about to leap out of their chests!

All the wealth they had accumulated in their lives, no, all the wealth accumulated by Qingyun Immortal Sect since its founding ten thousand years ago, combined, probably wouldn't even be one percent of the treasure mountains and spiritual sea before them!

And this was just Imperial Tutor Chen casually taking it out?!

At this moment, they completely understood what Chen Xu's words, "Who said we don't have resources," meant.

Compared to him, their Qingyun Immortal Sect was simply a group of beggars in tattered clothes!

Chen Xu ignored everyone's shock.

His gaze swept across this world.

The next moment, in his hand, an ancient Jade Slip quietly appeared.

It was precisely the Purple Mansion Dao Lord's [Array Dao General Outline]!

His Divine Thought swept over it, and countless profound and complex array Dao principles instantly flooded his mind.

"Today, I shall use this Qingyun Mountain Range as the array foundation, and this heaven and earth as the chessboard, to lay down an eternal and unbreakable Divine Formation for you all!"

Chen Xu's voice, like a clear heavenly decree, boomed in everyone's ears!

Before his voice faded, his figure had already soared into the sky, suspended above!

He did not use any Formation Flags or Formation Plates, but instead pointed his fingers like a sword, using Primordial Chaos Dao Power as ink and the firmament as paper!

He began to engrave in mid-air!

"edict!"

"Mountains, come!"

With a low shout from him, he pointed his finger towards a ten-thousand-zhang solitary peak in the distance!

Rumble—!!!

The earth shook violently! That ten-thousand-zhang solitary peak actually rose from the ground.

Under countless astonished gazes, it was forcibly moved hundreds of miles and crashed down at the eastern gate of Qingyun Immortal Sect, becoming the first array foundation!

"edict!"

"Water, rise!"

Chen Xu waved his hand again, and beneath the mountain range, the underground dark river that had flowed for ten thousand years actually burst out of the earth, transforming into a roaring water dragon, forcibly diverted to encircle the entire Sect gate, forming a natural Formation barrier!

"edict!"

"Spiritual energy, gather!"

He formed hand Seals, and golden Daoist runes flew from his fingertips, merging into the earth!

Roar—!!!

The next second, an earth-shattering dragon's roar came from deep underground!

Beneath the Qingyun Mountain Range, the main Spiritual Vein that had been dormant for ten thousand years was actually forcibly awakened by his supreme methods!

A golden giant dragon, ten thousand zhang long, burst out of the earth, roaring towards the sky!

It circled Chen Xu once, and finally, following Chen Xu's guidance, its massive body merged into the one hundred and eight re-positioned mountain peak array foundations!

Moving mountains and filling seas!

Commanding rivers and mountains!

Awakening the Dragon Vein!

These scenes, like mythical legends, directly shattered the psychological defenses of all Qingyun Sect Disciples!

Each of them stood dumbfounded, gazing up at the figure in the sky, who was like a creator god.

Besides kneeling in worship... they could not make any other movements!

Murong Zhuyun's beautiful eyes, moreover, shone with brilliant light. She looked at that figure, commanding the world with a wave of his hand, and her heart was already completely filled with that peerless charm!

Such methods were no longer those of a Mortal!

He was a True Immortal!

He was a true exiled Immortal descending to the Mortal world!

Time flew by amidst everyone's boundless shock.

Three days later, boom—!!!

When Chen Xu made his final stroke, striking the last golden Daoist rune into the central main peak, the entire grand Formation instantly activated!

Buzz buzz buzz—!!!

The one hundred and eight mountain peak array foundations simultaneously erupted with dazzling and blinding light at this moment!

The light shot up into the sky, intertwining in mid-air, forming a vast array diagram covering an area of several thousand miles!

"The Formation is named, Purple Heaven Azure Cloud!"

"It draws the Divine Lightning of the Nine Heavens as its edge, and gathers the Divine Fire of the Azure Luan as its shield!"

"Lightning, come!"

Chen Xu stood at the center of the array eye, pointing a finger towards the Nine Heavens!

Crack—!!!

The Nine Heavens clouds were instantly torn apart!

A terrifying lightning dragon, immensely thick and entirely purple-gold, roared down from the sky, fiercely pouring into the array diagram!

Purple Heaven Divine Lightning!

"Sect Master Murong, activate the Azure Luan Qi!"

Chen Xu's voice entered Murong Zhuyun's ears.

"Yes!"

Murong Zhuyun dared not delay in the slightest. She immediately circulated her Cultivation Technique, fully unleashing the Bloodline Power of her transformed Azure Luan Bloodline within her body!

Clang—!

A high-pitched Phoenix cry resounded through the sky!

A phantom of an Azure Luan, with a wingspan of a thousand zhang and burning with azure divine flames, shot up from behind her, actively merging into that vast array diagram!

Boom—!!!

Lightning and fire perfectly fused at this moment!

Purple lightning and azure flames intertwined, ultimately forming an immensely huge purple-azure light barrier that enveloped the entire Qingyun Immortal Sect mountain gate!

On the light barrier, divine lightning surged and divine fire burned, and a terrifying pressure, enough to make heaven and earth lose their color and even Spirit Transformation Cultivators tremble, erupted with a roar!

The peerless grand Formation was complete!

"This... this pressure..."

A Nascent Soul Elder tried to touch the light barrier with his Divine Thought.

"Pfft!"

The moment of contact, he was struck as if by lightning, violently spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His Divine Soul was greatly shaken, and his face was filled with horror!

"Unstoppable! Unstoppable! This old man feels that even if ten more Demonic Lords came, in front of this grand Formation, they would only be ants that could be extinguished with a flick of a finger!"

"More than just Demonic Lords! This old man even feels that even if the legendary Spirit Transformation Great Powers personally arrived, they wouldn't be able to shake this Formation in the slightest!"

"A miracle! This is truly a miracle!"

All the surviving Elders, after feeling the terrifying power of the grand Formation, their reverence for Chen Xu had risen to an unprecedented level!

They looked at the figure slowly descending from the sky, their eyes filled with worship and fanaticism!

Having completed all this, Chen Xu slowly landed on the square.

His face was slightly pale, but his aura remained steady.

He looked at everyone and spoke again.

"The grand Formation is complete, but the rebuilding of the Sect and the restoration of its strength are the most urgent priorities."

He waved his hand, re-integrating the mountain of resources.

"From today onwards, Qingyun Immortal Sect and my Chen Family will jointly establish a contribution System."

"All Disciples, whether it is slaying Demonic Path remnants, cultivating spiritual fields, repairing the Sect, or achieving Breakthroughs in their own cultivation, can earn contribution points."

"All Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and Spirit Stones here can be exchanged with contribution points!"

Saying this, he handed a Jade Slip containing detailed regulations to Murong Zhuyun.

"Sect Master Murong will be fully responsible for the specific matters!"

This trust and delegation of power made Murong Zhuyun's delicate body tremble.

She took the Jade Slip with both hands, feeling its immense weight!

She looked into Chen Xu's eyes and nodded solemnly, saying: "Zhuyun will definitely not fail the trust of Sir!"

At once, Murong Zhuyun secretly vowed in her heart to manage this Qingyun lineage in an orderly manner, so that he would have no further worries!

And the contribution System established by Chen Xu instantly ignited the passion of all the Disciples who had survived the catastrophe!

"This is great! Our Qingyun Immortal Sect is back!"

"Am I sure I'm not dreaming?"

"Hahaha! I'm going to hunt down Demonic Cultivators! Avenge my fallen brethren! And for myself, secure a bright future!"

The entire Qingyun Immortal Sect swept away its previous despondency and grief.

It erupted with unprecedented vitality and hope!

With the influx of massive resources, it is foreseeable that in the near future, the strength of the entire Sect will experience an explosive surge!

And just as the Qingyun Immortal Sect was bustling with reconstruction,

the legend of Chen Xu also spread like wildfire.

At an astonishing speed, it spread throughout the entire South Spirit Prefecture!

One man, one sword, battling two Demonic Lords alone, and slaying them!

With a single thought, moving mountains and filling seas, laying down an ancient divine Formation!

With one slap, sending a Central State Prodigy flying, incomparably domineering!

Each of these deeds was enough to shake the entire Cultivation world!

Now, all these feats... were concentrated on one person!

The Imperial Tutor of Great Feng, Chen Xu!

For a time, countless Sects, Families, Cultivators, and lone Cultivators in the entire South Spirit Prefecture, when speaking of this name,

were all as silent as cicadas in winter... their faces filled with awe and fear!

They knew that the sky of the South Spirit Prefecture had truly changed.

The Qingyun Immortal Sect, which had been passed down for ten thousand years and stood high above all, had become a thing of the past.

In its place was an even more powerful behemoth!

The Chen Family!

From then on, the name of the Chen Family rose like the sun at noon, its might shaking the South Spirit Prefecture, becoming the undisputed... sole overlord of this land!

Qingyun Immortal Sect, Purple Mansion Peak.

Chen Xu, dressed in a blue robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering in the fierce winds of the mountain peak.

His gaze calmly overlooked the area below.

The [Purple Mansion Azure Cloud Grand Formation], which covered an area of several thousand miles, was slowly operating at this moment.

Within the Grand Formation, the Sect, which was originally scarred and reduced to ruins,

had now burst forth with new vitality.

With the infusion of massive resources, magnificent palaces rose from the ground at a visible speed.

They were even grander and more imposing than before.

The surviving Disciples, shedding their previous despair and grief, had the flames of hope rekindled in their eyes.

Some gathered in groups of three or five, descending the mountain to hunt down the fleeing Demonic Path remnants and earn contribution points.

Others entered newly opened Cultivation Secret Realms, desperately Cultivating to improve their strength.

Still others meticulously cared for Immortal Plants and Spirit Medicines shimmering with spiritual light in the Spirit Fields and Medicine Gardens.

The entire Qingyun Immortal Sect... no, it should be said, the Azure Cloud lineage of the Chen Family, was now in a state of explosive growth.

It erupted with unprecedented vitality!

Looking at this thriving scene before him,

a faint smile also appeared on Chen Xu's face.

The battle a while ago,

though perilous, the gains were equally immense.

Not only did he completely eradicate the two major Demonic Path scourges of the South Spirit Prefecture, firmly bringing the entire South Spirit Prefecture under his control,

but he also subdued Murong Zhuyun, a woman blessed with the Azure Luan Bloodline and Luck.

Adding a great helper to the Family.

Now that the general situation was settled, he only needed to wait for time to ferment, and the Chen Family's influence

would surely experience a leap-forward surge.

However, just as Chen Xu's mind was calm, planning the future blueprint of the Family,

Buzz—!

A communication Jade Slip in his Storage Ring vibrated again!

Chen Xu raised an eyebrow slightly.

This Jade Slip was a special communication Magic Treasure he left for his wives and concubines in the Capital City.

It would never be used lightly unless it was an extremely urgent matter.

Could something have happened at home?!

He dared not be negligent in the slightest.

His Divine Thought instantly probed into the Jade Slip!

The next second,

a familiar, yet somewhat shy and gentle voice,

sounded in his mind.

"Husband... Yifan, is pregnant."

Boom!!!

The six short words made Chen Xu's brain briefly freeze again.

He froze directly on the spot!

Immediately following that voice, another voice, also filled with joy and shyness, followed closely.

"Husband... Xiaoyue, also... also pregnant..."

Bu Yifan!

Sun Xiaoyue!

His two beloved wives, actually... actually became pregnant at the same time?!

Double happiness!

This... after a brief moment of stunned silence, a surge of ecstasy!

Instantly swept through Chen Xu's entire mind!

That joy, compared to slaying a Demonic Lord, compared to a Breakthrough in Cultivation, compared to obtaining any Heaven And Earth Treasure,

was a hundred times, a thousand times more intense!

After fighting for a long time, and experiencing repeated bloody battles, his heart had long accumulated too much killing intent and aggression.

But at this moment, upon hearing this news, all the fatigue and killing intent seemed to be instantly melted by the warm sunlight!

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

The next moment, Chen Xu looked up to the sky and let out a hearty laugh of extreme pleasure!

His laughter rolled like thunder.

Spreading throughout the entire Purple Mansion Peak, throughout the entire Qingyun Immortal Sect!

Below, the Disciples and Elders who were busy, hearing this laughter, stopped their actions one after another, and looked up at the mountain peak in confusion.

They had never seen this Imperial Tutor Chen, who remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him,

show such a loss of composure.

"What happened? Why is Lord Chen so happy?"

"I don't know, could it be another great piece of good news?"

Everyone discussed animatedly, full of curiosity.

And at this moment... on the mountain peak, in Chen Xu's mind,

the System's notification sound suddenly rang out!

Since the last time Chen Xu obtained Heaven-Defying Luck and the System prompted an upgrade,

this was the first time it had sounded.

"Ding! Detected that the Host's wives, Bu Yifan and Sun Xiaoyue, have successfully conceived!"

"System judgment: Double happiness, a major Breakthrough in Family Bloodline Legacy!"

"Generating super-standard rewards based on the offspring's potential..."

"Ding! Detected that the fetus in Bu Yifan's womb contains a super-grade [warrior star] Luck! In the future, there is a high probability of becoming a generation's Literary Dao Saint, opening up Literary Dao Luck for the Family, and bringing glory to the Family!"

"Ding! Detected that the fetus in Sun Xiaoyue's womb contains a super-grade [warrior star] Luck! In the future, there is a high probability of becoming a generation's Martial Dao God of War, guarding the four directions for the Family, and expanding its territory!"

One literary, one martial!

They were actually a pair of future Literary Saints and Gods of War?!

The joy in Chen Xu's eyes

grew even stronger!

And the System's notifications were far from over!

"Ding! Because the Host is about to give birth to two super-grade Luck offspring, the Family's overall Luck has received a massive boost!"

"The Family's Luck Golden Dragon has grown a size larger! The power of Luck is becoming more solid!"

"The Family's overall Cultivation speed has increased by 30%!"

"The Comprehension Ability of all Family members (including collateral branches and affiliated forces) has increased by 20%!"

Rumble—!!!

As the System's notification sound faded, Chen Xu only felt that in his Sea of Consciousness,

the golden giant Dragon representing the Chen Family's Luck

let out an earth-shattering roar!

Visibly, its already enormous body actually swelled another size!

Its Dragon scales became even more dazzling... its Dragon might became even more vast!

An invisible force, centered on the Qingyun Immortal Sect, instantly enveloped the Chen Family's mansion far away in the Great Feng Capital City.

It enveloped all Family members connected by the Chen Family's Bloodline!

At this moment, all Chen Family members, whether they were Cultivating, studying, or handling mundane affairs,

felt their minds suddenly clear!

As if enlightened!

Some Cultivation Bottlenecks that had troubled them for a long time... suddenly became clear!

Some obscure and difficult-to-understand Cultivation Technique scriptures, they suddenly understood without a teacher!

"My heavens! I... I Broke Through!"

"Me too! I was stuck at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage for ten full years, and today I just inexplicably Broke Through!"

"A miracle! This must be the Heavenly Dao favoring our Chen Family!"

The entire Chen Family instantly fell into a frenzy of joy and excitement!

...Chen Xu stood on the mountain peak, feeling the surge of Family Luck and the joy of Bloodline connection, his heart eager to return!

He wished he could immediately sprout wings and fly back to the Capital City, to his two beloved wives.

To hold them in his arms personally, to feel the pulsation of new life.

But... he couldn't.

The South Spirit Prefecture had just experienced a great war, and everything was in ruins, with the Demonic Path remnants not yet purged.

The Heavenly Sword Sect of Central State was also eyeing them covetously.

There were still too many things here

that needed him to oversee and handle.

He took a deep breath, only able to forcefully suppress the impulse in his heart, pouring all his myriad thoughts and joy into the communication Jade Slip in his hand.

"Yifan, Xiaoyue, you've worked hard. Rest assured and nurture the babies, I'll take care of everything. Once I've handled the matters in the South Spirit Prefecture, I'll return immediately to be with you!"

"I've already sent a message to Sect Master Murong. She will personally select Spirit Medicine for prenatal care and send a dedicated person back to the Capital City. You must take them on time..."

He rambled on, repeatedly instructing them on various precautions several times.

His words were filled with the tenderness and concern of a husband and a father... Inside the Main Hall of Azure Cloud.

After Murong Zhuyun learned of the news, her beautiful face first showed a slightstunned.

Immediately, a genuine joy and blessing

appeared in her eyes.

She looked at the message from Chen Xu, seeing the tenderness of a husband and father revealed in his words.

The feelings of loss and melancholy in her heart

also completely vanished like smoke.

To guard a foundation for such a man, and to watch his Family flourish and prosper,

this in itself was a kind of happiness.

"Come!"

Murong Zhuyun did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately summoning the Elder of the Medicine Hall within the Sect.

"Immediately go to the treasury and retrieve all Spirit Medicine and Immortal Plants over ten thousand years old in the Sect!"

"Remember, only the best!"

She personally selected, carefully sealing top-grade Spirit Medicine, whose traces were hard to find in the outside world,

into Jade Boxes.

Afterward, she personally selected a team of elite Disciples with the highest Cultivation, led by a Nascent Soul Elder, repeatedly instructing them to safely deliver these Spirit Medicine to the Great Feng Capital City, to the hands of the two mistresses.

Her actions were not only to express blessings.

But also, in the posture of a hostess, to convey her goodwill and position to the entire Chen Family, and to the two 'sisters' she had never met.

She and the Chen Family were already in a state of shared prosperity or shared ruin.
