162: The power of Void Refinement, the clan-protecting divine monument!

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Family Luck Supreme Treasure — the Clan-Suppressing Divine Stele!]

[Clan-Suppressing Divine Stele: A supreme divine object containing the Luck of humanity. Erected at the Family's stronghold, it can automatically suppress the Family's Luck, resist external evil invasions, protect the Divine Souls of clansmen, and enhance the Comprehension Ability of clansmen! Furthermore, within the Clan-Suppressing Divine Stele, there are countless Cultivation Techniques and insights, which can provide guidance and Epiphanies based on the talent and Cultivation Techniques of the toucher!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the top-grade Divine Ability — Universe in the Palm (Grandmist Version)!]

[Universe in the Palm: A supreme Spatial Divine Ability. Cultivated to Major Achievement, it can open up a universe within the palm, containing all things and refining powerful enemies! The Grandmist Version of this Divine Ability can ignore most Spatial Restrictions, greatly increasing its power!]

Looking at these two brand-new rewards on the System panel.

Even Chen Xu couldn't help but show a trace of fervor in his eyes!

With this Clan-Suppressing Divine Stele, the Family's Foundation would be secured!

And that Divine Ability — Universe in the Palm!

It made him ecstatic!

He had previously mastered Heaven and Earth Manifestation, which allowed him to transform into a giant thousands of feet tall, greatly increasing his combat power.

Now, he also had this Universe in the Palm!

Heaven and Earth Manifestation in one hand, Universe in the Palm in the other!

Who in this world could resist?

His overall combat power, at this moment.

Once again experienced an explosive leap!

Feeling the surging power within his body and looking at the Heaven-Defying divine objects rewarded by the System.

Ten thousand heroic ambitions surged in Chen Xu's chest!

He slowly lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over the faces below, which were filled with fanaticism, reverence, and indescribable excitement.

Whether it was his wives, his children, the deep-minded Murong Zhuyun, the unruly Sect Master Ba Dao, or the complicated Zhao Family members.

At this moment, all their eyes held only the purest submission and awe!

"We respectfully congratulate the Family Head on his great achievement in divine cultivation! May he enjoy immortal blessings forever! May his lifespan be boundless!"

The shouts, like a mountain tsunami, rose again.

Converging into a mighty sound wave, it rushed towards the sky!

Chen Xu stood in the Void Realm, his white robes fluttering.

He looked at his Family members.

He looked at this city that had risen in his hands and slowly took a deep breath.

Whoosh—!

A simple action.

Yet it triggered a terrifying scene that everyone would remember for a lifetime!

The auspicious Qi and colorful glow filling the sky!

The sacred golden light covering ten thousand miles!

The nine Golden Dragons circling and dancing, protecting the city!

Even the majestic Imperial Dragon Qi from the underground Dragon Vein!

All these phenomena, at this instant.

As if receiving a supreme imperial decree!

Transformed into streaks of flowing light, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all pouring into Chen Xu's mouth and nose!

It was only a single breath before and after!

The sky, once again, returned to the familiar grayness of the Beiming Wilderness.

The rampant Spiritual Qi began to rage again.

As if the miraculous scene just now was merely an illusion.

Heaven and Earth returned to clarity.

The entire Tianxuan City fell into a deathly silence.

So quiet that a needle drop could be heard!

Everyone stared blankly at the figure standing with hands behind his back in the Void Realm, his aura restrained, appearing ordinary, like a Mortal.

If the destructive Breakthrough phenomena just now had filled them with shock and fanaticism.

Then at this moment, this absolute control, wielding the mighty power of Heaven and Earth in his palm.

Brought them... reverence that penetrated their very Souls!

In their eyes, Chen Xu was already no different from a god!

The next moment, Chen Xu lowered his head, looked at his fair and slender palm, and gently clenched it.

There were no fluctuations of magical power, no circulation of Spiritual Qi.

But a tangible sense of power surged through his limbs and bones.

This precious Physical Body, tempered by both Primordial Violet Qi and ten-thousand-year geovein spirit milk, had already undergone a complete transformation, reaching an incredible Realm.

He wanted to try.

So, he raised his hand and casually swiped at the Void Realm in front of him.

"Rip!"

A crack silently unfolded before him.

Tearing space with bare hands!

This scene caused the hearts of the crowd in Tianxuan City, who had just calmed down from their fanaticism.

To be fiercely gripped once more!

"Oh my god! What is that!"

"Family Head... he... he tore a hole in the sky?"

In front of the Refining Artifact Pavilion in the east of the city, the elder Zhao De's eyes were wide, and he was completely frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

As a grandmaster of Artifact Refining, he knew better than anyone what this meant.

Tearing space was a method that only Void Refining mighty experts could employ after mastering the Spatial Law.

But he had seen it clearly just now!

This young City Lord had no magical power fluctuations on him whatsoever!

That was pure Physical Body strength!

How could a Physical Body be so powerful!

Is this even human?

Chen Xu looked at the crack and nodded in satisfaction.

The spatial crack quickly healed under his powerful Physical Body's self-healing ability, as if nothing had happened.

Then, a thought stirred in his mind.

It was time to try the true methods of the Void Refining Realm.

Teleportation!

His gaze fell on the towering city wall a hundred miles away.

The next instant, Chen Xu's figure vanished into thin air under the watchful eyes of all.

On the city wall, Sect Master Ba Dao was loudly bragging to the Jade Purity Daoist next to him, spitting everywhere.

"Did you see that! Did you see that! That move by the Family Head just now! My goodness! I felt like the sky was going to collapse! Is this the Void Refining Realm? It's so damn overbearing!"

The Jade Purity Daoist's mouth twitched, but he couldn't refute it.

His eyes also held unconcealed fanaticism.

Just then, a calm voice sounded in their ears.

"Not bad."

Sect Master Ba Dao and the Jade Purity Daoist's hairs stood on end, and they sharply turned their heads!

They saw Chen Xu, who had appeared silently behind them at some unknown point, standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the barbaric land outside the city.

"Fa... Family Head!" Sect Master Ba Dao trembled in fright, almost jumping off the city wall.

He looked at Chen Xu in horror, stammering, "When... when did you get here?"

He was a Body Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage, how sharp was his Divine Sense perception! Yet he hadn't detected even the slightest trace! If this were an enemy, he would already be a dead man!

"Just arrived." Chen Xu smiled faintly.

This was Void Refining!

Where the Divine Thought reached, the body followed.

Unless one was also proficient in Spatial Law, it was impossible to track its trajectory.

He no longer paid attention to the petrified crowd behind him and slowly closed his eyes.

After the Breakthrough, it wasn't just his magical power and Physical Body that surged.

But also his Divine Sense!

Boom!

An invisible, majestic Divine Thought, centered on Chen Xu, swept out like a tsunami!

Ten thousand miles!

Thirty thousand miles!

Fifty thousand miles!

His Divine Sense instantly enveloped a vast area of fifty thousand miles!

Within this Domain, everything was as clear in his mind as lines on his palm.

He "saw" that in an underground cave thirty thousand miles away.

A Three-Headed Demonic Flood Dragon, comparable to an Early Stage Void Refining cultivator, was Awakening from its slumber, its massive body trembling due to the previous Heaven and Earth phenomena.

He "saw" that in a cliff crevice forty-five thousand miles away.

A ten-thousand-year Ganoderma lucidum, shimmering with colorful auspicious light, was greedily absorbing the lingering auspicious Qi of Heaven and Earth.

He could even see, ten thousand zhang deep beneath Tianxuan City.

A black beetle, only the size of a fingernail, was diligently gnawing on an Ore containing faint Spiritual Qi.

The flow of wind, the circulation of Spiritual Qi, the breathing of Yao Beasts, the growth of plants... within this fifty-thousand-mile "Divine Domain," he was the omniscient and omnipotent Dominator!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ten thousand heroic ambitions surged in Chen Xu's heart!

With such terrifying Divine Sense coverage, the safety of Tianxuan City would be impregnable!

Any disturbance, any potential threat, would not escape his eyes!

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the faces below, filled with awe and fanaticism.

Individual strength was just the beginning.

The strength of the entire Family was his true pursuit!

His figure flickered, and he returned to the sky above the central square of Tianxuan City.

His resonant voice spread to every corner of the city.

"Today, I have entered Void Refining, which calls for a celebration for the Family!"

"I shall erect a Clan-Suppressing Divine Stele here! To solidify the Chen Family's Foundation for ten thousand generations!"

As his voice fell, he flipped his palm.

A stone stele, only the size of a palm, entirely ancient and profound yellow in color, appeared in his hand.

The stone stele looked unremarkable, without any Spiritual light, yet it exuded an incredibly profound and heavy, ancient aura, as if bearing the weight of countless ages.

It was precisely the Family Luck Supreme Treasure rewarded by the System — the Clan-Suppressing Divine Stele!

Chen Xu looked at the square below and flicked his finger.

The palm-sized stone stele transformed into a streak of flowing light, plummeting towards the very center of the square!

Whoosh—!

As the stone stele descended, it rapidly grew against the wind!

Ten zhang! Fifty zhang! One hundred zhang!

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a terrifying giant stele, a hundred zhang tall, obscuring the sky and sun!

The shadow of the giant stele enveloped the entire square, and an indescribably heavy pressure made everyone feel their breath catch!

"What is that!"

"Such a huge stone stele!"

Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, the hundred-zhang giant stele landed with a crash!

Rumble—!!!

A heaven-shaking roar exploded!

The entire Tianxuan City, along with the ten thousand miles of land outside the city, violently trembled at this moment!

The instant the giant stele landed, it seemed to completely merge with the Earth Vein of the entire city!

"Roar—!"

The ancient Dragon Vein deep underground once again let out a heaven-shaking roar!

Golden Dragon Qi, thick as mountains, surged out from underground, fiercely pouring into the base of the Clan-Suppressing Divine Stele!

At the same time, the Nine Dragons Town Heaven Xuanhuang Formation, which enveloped Tianxuan City, also shone brightly! Nine Golden Dragons protecting the city circled and roared, each spitting out a mouthful of pure Imperial Dragon Qi, which merged into the divine stele!

Buzz, buzz, buzz—!

The Clan-Suppressing Divine Stele emitted bursts of humming!

Immediately after, a scene that everyone would remember for a lifetime appeared!

A layer of visible golden mist began to emanate from the giant stone stele, which was entirely profound yellow in color!

The mist rapidly spread, like a tide, quickly enveloping the entire Tianxuan City!

All Chen Family members enveloped by the golden mist, at this moment, simultaneously felt a jolt throughout their bodies!

"Ah! So comfortable!"

"My heavens, my mind is so clear!"

Many instinctively let out exclamations of surprise.

They were horrified to discover that the speed at which they circulated their Cultivation Techniques to absorb Spiritual Qi was actually 30% faster than usual!

Not only that, their understanding of Cultivation Techniques and their comprehension of the Laws of Heaven and Earth became incredibly clear!

This scene was very similar to how they felt when the enlightenment ancient tea tree grew in the Lower Realm.

What... what's going on?

It wasn't just him!

All of the Chen Family members in the city, and even the newly affiliated Zhao Family members, clearly felt the changes within themselves!

Their Cultivation speed had increased by 30% out of nowhere!

This was simply Heaven-Defying!

"This is transformed from our Chen Family's Luck!"

Chen Xu's voice rang out again, clearing up everyone's confusion.

"All members of my Chen Family, under the shroud of this golden cloud of Luck, will have their Comprehension Ability and Cultivation speed boosted! This is the effect of the town clan stele!"

Boom!

As soon as these words came out, the entire Tianxuan City was once again in an uproar.

Everyone looked at the towering hundred-zhang divine tablet with fervent eyes!

A supreme treasure that could bless the entire Family and permanently increase Cultivation speed by 30%!

What a terrifying concept was this?

This meant that the Chen Family's strength would once again expand wildly at an unimaginable speed!

"Long live the Family Head! Long live the Chen Family!"

The next moment, shouts like a mountain tsunami converged into a wave of sound, almost overturning the sky!

Zhao De and the clansmen behind him were completely numb at this moment.

They numbly felt the boost brought by the golden mist.

They only felt as if they were dreaming.

Those so-called top aristocratic families in Zhenyuan City would fight to the death just to compete for a Spiritual Vein or a few Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques.

But in this Chen Family, the treasure bestowed by the Family Head with a casual wave of his hand could bring such a Heaven-Defying group buff!

This... this was simply not on the same level!

Zhao De looked at the divine tablet, and the shock in his heart surged again.

Just as everyone was overjoyed by the golden cloud of Luck, something even more shocking happened.

Chen Daoxuan, as half of the current decision-maker of the Chen Family, was the first to recover from the shock.

With an extremely reverent heart, he came before the colossal town clan stele.

The surface of the divine tablet was smooth as a mirror, without a single word.

He curiously stretched out his hand and slowly touched it.

The moment his fingertip touched the divine tablet!

Buzz!

Chen Daoxuan's body suddenly stiffened, and he froze as if under a body-fixing spell.

His eyes instantly widened, and in his pupils, countless Sword Qi seemed to be circulating in birth and destruction!

A vast and boundless stream of information surged into his mind!

It was not specific words or Cultivation Techniques, but a pure comprehension of the Dao of the Sword!

A supreme sword art that seemed tailor-made for him.

It evolved on its own in his Sea of Consciousness!

How to swing a sword, how to build momentum, how to achieve the unity of man and sword, how to invoke the Laws of heaven and earth!

His past confusions and Bottlenecks in the Dao of the Sword were suddenly resolved in this instant!

"This... this is..."

Chen Daoxuan abruptly withdrew his hand, stumbled back two steps, his face filled with ecstasy and shock!

He disregarded everything else, directly sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to comprehend on the spot!

"Buzz!"

An incomparably sharp Sword Intent soared from his body, more than twice as powerful as before!

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

"What happened to Dao Xuan?"

"He... he seems to have had an Epiphany!"

"Could it be that this divine tablet... can also impart Cultivation Techniques?"

Before everyone could understand, a rough laugh rang out.

"Hahahaha! Good news! Great news! Let me, Old Ba, try it too!"

Sect Master Ba Dao, seeing the opportunity, rubbed his hands and excitedly squeezed to the front of the divine tablet.

He imitated Chen Daoxuan's actions.

He heavily slapped his large, fan-like hand onto the divine tablet!

"Give me something powerful!"

Buzz!

Sect Master Ba Dao's burly body also stiffened abruptly.

The smile on his face instantly froze... his eyes wide like copper bells!

The next second!

Boom!

A terrifying Saber Intent, as if capable of splitting mountains and severing rivers, burst forth from him!

He abruptly withdrew his hand, staring blankly at his palm.

A moment later, he suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a burst of wild laughter!

"Hahahaha! So that's how it is! So that's how it is! Mountain-Splitting Saber Intent! This is the true Mountain-Splitting Saber Intent!"

He gesticulated wildly with excitement, his words incoherent.

"I understand! I understand it all! Hahahaha!"

Looking at the frenzied Sect Master Ba Dao, everyone, at this moment, finally completely understood!

This divine tablet could not only boost Cultivation speed!

It... it could also bestow the most suitable Cultivation Technique insights according to each person's talent and path!

How was this merely a town clan stele!

This was clearly a supreme Dao Ancestor who knew everything and could do anything!

Boom!

The entire Tianxuan City, after a brief silence, boiled over again!

"Oh my god!"

"Quick! Go try it!"

"Let me go first!"

Everyone went crazy! They frantically surged towards the central plaza.

Visibly, on the central plaza, waves of fervent enthusiasm surged one after another.

Whenever someone touched it, the divine tablet would hum, and that person would be struck as if by lightning, either sitting cross-legged in Epiphany or gesticulating wildly, their aura continuously rising.

Chen Xu stood with his hands behind his back in the sky, quietly watching this scene, his heart peaceful.

The Ten Thousand Paths Heaven-reaching Tower accelerates the improvement of clansmen's Cultivation Realm.

The Reincarnation Hall ensures that clansmen are immortal and can make infinite mistakes.

The town clan stele permanently enhances clansmen's Comprehension Ability and can impart Cultivation Techniques according to their talent, compensating for the Family's greatest weakness of insufficient Foundation!

Cultivation speed, immortality, top-tier talent.

These three combined form a perfect closed loop.

The Chen Family's current hardware configuration is no longer mere potential, but has truly surpassed most of the so-called Holy Lands in the Spirit Realm!

As long as the Chen Family is given enough time, the so-called Seven Great Holy Lands are nothing but chickens and dogs.

Individual strength, after all, has its limits.

But the strength of a Family is truly eternal!

Looking at the excited and fervent faces below, Chen Xu's heart was free of all worries.

His figure flickered, and he silently disappeared from the spot... City Lord's Mansion, backyard.

Several wives were gathered together, chattering about the strange phenomenon of the divine tablet just now.

When Chen Xu's figure appeared out of thin air.

All the women were startled, then their faces showed pleasant surprise.

"Husband!"

"You've come out of seclusion!"

Bu Yifan, holding Chen Wanjin who was now babbling, was the first to greet him.

Her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness.

Qin Rouer, Sun Xiaoyue, Liu Ruyan, and even the usually aloof Murong Zhuyun, all looked at Chen Xu with unconcealed admiration and affection in their eyes.

That world-destroying Breakthrough phenomenon, that God King demeanor of lotus steps,

had long been deeply imprinted in their hearts.

"Mm."

Chen Xu smiled and nodded, reaching out to take Chen Wanjin from Bu Yifan's arms.

The little fellow had grown a lot now, carved from pink jade, his big eyes curiously looking at Chen Xu, extending his small hand to grab his hair.

"Dad... Dad..."

The indistinct call instantly melted Chen Xu's heart.

He held his son, feeling the warmth of this Bloodline connection.

He felt a satisfaction he had never experienced before.

"Next, I might have to go to Zhenyuan City to find the last two Materials for constructing the cross-Realm grand formation." Chen Xu looked at the women and slowly spoke.

Hearing this, the joy on the women's faces was immediately replaced by worry.

"Zhenyuan City? Isn't that the Lin Family's territory? Won't it be too dangerous?"

Qin Rouer asked worriedly.

"It's fine."

Chen Xu smiled confidently: "Now, with my current strength, I can go anywhere in the vast Spirit Realm. A mere Lin Family can't stir up any trouble."

He had Broken Through to Void Refining, his Divine Sense covered fifty thousand miles, and he had mastered instant teleportation and the Universe in the Palm. Even if a Holy Land Master personally arrived, he was confident he could contend with them.

Seeing her husband's confident and composed demeanor, the women's hanging hearts finally settled slightly.

Chen Xu's gaze swept over his wives, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

He spoke faintly: "But before departing, there's an even more important matter to attend to."

"Now that the Family's Foundation is stable, it's the best time to spread our branches and leaves and expand the Family population."

"Wanjin also needs more younger brothers and sisters."

As soon as these words came out, the women's pretty faces instantly flushed red.

Qin Rouer and Sun Xiaoyue were so shy that they lowered their heads, their earlobes completely red.

Only Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation and passion.

Even the usually aloof Murong Zhuyun rarely had a slightly flushed face.

She avoided Chen Xu's aggressive gaze.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

A few days later.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, there was an atmosphere of joy.

Qin Rouer and Sun Xiaoyue were confirmed to be pregnant!

This news invigorated the entire Chen Family.

However, just as everyone was celebrating the impending arrival of new life.

Something even more incredible happened!

The town clan stele, standing in the central plaza, suddenly burst into brilliant light without any warning!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Two golden divine lights shot up from the divine tablet, like two golden Dragons, spanning the sky and landing in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion!

The divine light penetrated the roof and directly enveloped Qin Rouer and Sun Xiaoyue!

"What's going on?!"

This sudden phenomenon alarmed everyone!

Chen Xu appeared beside the two women immediately.

His vast Divine Thought instantly enveloped them.

He discovered that the two golden divine lights from the divine tablet.

Were continuously pouring into Qin Rouer and Sun Xiaoyue's lower abdomens!

Just then, the System's notification boomed in Chen Xu's mind!

[Ding! Detected Host's descendants triggering resonance with the town clan stele!]

[Congratulations to Host, the fetus in Qin Rouer's womb has Awakened Innate Luck — Innate Sword Embryo!]

[Innate Sword Embryo: A natural sword Dao prodigy, born with the sword, originating from the Dao! Upon birth, can achieve unity of man and sword, with limitless future achievements!]

[Congratulations to Host, the fetus in Sun Xiaoyue's womb has Awakened Innate Luck — Grand Yin Spirit Physique!]

[Grand Yin Spirit Physique: Born with the power of Grand Yin, naturally affinity with water, ice, dark, and other Laws, cultivating related Cultivation Techniques progresses a thousand miles a day! It is one of the world's top-tier Cultivation Physiques!]

[Two Children of Destiny are about to be born, Family Luck surges again!]
