190: Chapter 190 Three Generations of Descendants

Time passed silently, quietly turning over several years.

Starting from the second year after Su Xuanling's marriage, Su Xuanxiao successfully achieved Foundation Establishment and held a lively wedding ceremony.

Following that, Su Xinyou and Ji Shulan also tied the knot.

The Su Family's population grew quietly over these years, flourishing like a tree with many branches and leaves.

At this moment, Su Yang and Qin Jiangmei sat side by side in the courtyard, their expressions far more calm than the others; having experienced the birth of children and grandchildren many times, they had long since grown accustomed to it.

In stark contrast was Su Xinyou, a first-time father, who was pacing anxiously back and forth in front of the room, occasionally poking his head in to look.

Even the usually steady Su Xuanming and Ruan Ning could not hide the tension in their brows; after all, it was the birth of their grandson, and they were about to become a grandfather and grandmother.

Qin Jiangmei sat beside Su Yang, her gaze tenderly sweeping over the groups of children and grandchildren before her, and she couldn't help but fall into a daze.

“Our great-grandson is about to be born... I didn't expect so many years to pass in the blink of an eye.”

She said softly.

The couple's appearances remained young and handsome, looking as if they were in their twenties.

In reality, Su Yang was already seventy years old, and Qin Jiangmei was fifty-eight, only two years away from her sixtieth year.

Just a few years ago, Qin Jiangmei's parents had passed away one after another, but she did not feel lonely or sad, because these lively and bustling children before her were the continuation of her Bloodline and the most solid sustenance of her life.

Hearing this, Su Yang couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental: “Time truly does fly; in the blink of an eye, we're actually going to be a great-grandfather and great-grandmother.”

To put it another way, he was already considered the Old Ancestor of the Family.

Just as the couple were sighing to each other.

“Waa—”

A clear and vital cry of an infant suddenly rang out from inside the room.

Almost at the same instant, deep within Su Yang's Sea of Consciousness, that Bloodline Genealogy quietly turned to a brand new page.

[Su Clan Second Generation]

[Name: Su Xinyi]

[Spiritual Root: True Spiritual Root]

[Fate: None]

[Physique: Tyrant Body]

This was the son of Su Xuanling and Wei Jing, born with True Spiritual Root Aptitude and also inheriting his father's Tyrant Body.

Su Xinyi's panel information completely confirmed that Wei Jing's Physique was the legendary Tyrant Body that could break ten thousand laws with absolute strength; what pleased Su Yang most was that his grandson had inherited this Physique.

[Name: Su Xinche]

[Spiritual Root: True Spiritual Root]

[Fate: Flaw Intuition]

[Physique: None]

[Flaw Intuition: A mysterious combat instinct that allows one to instinctively perceive the most dangerous and fragile point on an opponent's attack trajectory the moment they start their move.]

This girl was the eldest daughter of Su Xuanxiao and Zhao Wanyi, and the second child after Xuanjing to possess a natural Fate.

However, her Spiritual Root was not innate, but rather a True Spiritual Root condensed later through cultivating the Hunyuan Condensing True Method.

[Name: City Lord Su Xinshen]

[Spiritual Root: True Spiritual Root]

[Fate: None]

[Physique: Thunder Spirit Body]

This boy was the son of Su Xuanxiao and Cheng Ningxiang, born with a Thunder Spirit Body and a Mixed Spiritual Root; the True Spiritual Root Aptitude on the panel was also Acquired through cultivation.

Su Yang's gaze shifted, and the genealogy turned to the next page.

[Su Clan Third Generation]

[Name: Su Zhengjun]

[Spiritual Root: None]

[Fate: None]

[Physique: None]

“What a standard blank slate for an eldest son!”

Su Yang couldn't help but whisper, drawing a puzzled look from Qin Jiangmei beside him.

At this time, Su Xinyou inside the room was holding the newborn infant in his arms, joyfully deciding on a name for his son.

Su Zhengjun!

The third generation of the Su Clan used the 'Zheng' character for their generation, so 'Jun' was chosen as the name, implying he bore a weight of a thousand piculs of responsibility and should uphold the path of uprightness, while also hoping his will would be as firm as metal and stone, unshakeable.

Su Yang had already seen the panels of the eldest sons for three consecutive generations of the Family, and without exception, they were all blank slates.

No Spiritual Root, no Fate, no Physique!

Although Su Yang was somewhat surprised by this, he didn't care too much.

For the Su Family, this was no longer a problem.

If there was no Spiritual Root, then Cultivate the Hunyuan Condensing True Method; if there was no Fate, then he would bestow one.

With a thought, Su Yang impatiently opened the Fate bestowal page.

[Fate Bestowal]

[Black Emperor Water Sovereign][White Emperor Gold Sovereign][Green Emperor Wood Sovereign][Red Emperor Fire Sovereign][Yellow Emperor Earth Sovereign][Withered Wood Meets Spring][Celestial Star Evolution][Hundred Refinements of Divine Mechanism][Indestructible Vajra Body][Sound Resonating to the Nine Heavens][Ten Thousand Laws Returning to the Origin][Purple Cloud Thunder Emperor][Clear Sword Heart][One Sword Breaks All Laws][Hundred Poisons Immunity]

A dazzling array of fifteen Fates, shimmering with light, almost blinded Su Yang's eyes.

Previously, when the first and second generations were unlocked, there were only five Fates each time, leading him to believe this was a fixed number.

Now for this third generation, the number had suddenly tripled!

“Eh?”

His gaze stopped on one of the lines.

“Clear Sword Heart?”

He was all too familiar with this Fate, having bestowed it upon his eldest son Xuan Heng earlier; now it had appeared in the list again.

“So duplicate Fates can actually appear in the genealogy...”

A new doubt rose in Su Yang's heart, “Is the refreshing of these Fates due to randomness, or is it related to the number of Family members, their Aptitudes, or even other deeper factors?”

He vaguely sensed that the mysteries of this Bloodline Genealogy went far beyond what he currently saw.

To completely understand its operating laws, he would likely need to span a vast amount of time, accumulate tens of thousands of years of experience, and observe countless generations of scions before knowing the answer.

Su Yang continued to flip to the next page of the genealogy.

[Family Legacy]

[Hunyuan Condensing True Method][Dao Origin Hunyuan Scripture][Zongyuan Soul Refining Scripture]

As expected, with the birth of a new generation of scions, a brand new Legacy cultivation method had been added to the genealogy.

Not only that, but the Dao Origin Hunyuan Scripture had also undergone changes.

Previously it only had the Foundation Establishment chapter, but after the birth of the Su Clan's third generation, its content had actually expanded to include the Golden Core chapter.

This chapter not only contained the complete cultivation formulas for the Golden Core Stage, but also recorded the unique secrets for a Golden Core Cultivator to refine a Lifebound Treasure.

A Lifebound Treasure's importance was comparable to a Cultivator's dao foundation; it was the core of a Golden Core Cultivator's Foundation and combat power.

Its biggest difference from a dao foundation was: after a Lifebound Treasure was destroyed, it could be re-refined at a cost.

But once a Lifebound Treasure was damaged, it would not only cause the Cultivator to suffer heavy injuries, but re-casting it required a massive amount of time, energy, and rare Materials, and the entire process had to start from scratch, no different from the first refining.

Very few Cultivators could bear such a massive loss.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, a Golden Core Cultivator would never easily destroy or re-forge their Lifebound Treasure. Its choice and refining concerned the Foundation and strength of a Cultivator's entire life and had to be approached with extreme caution.

“According to this pattern, the Nascent Soul chapter of the Dao Origin Hunyuan Scripture will probably have to wait until the fourth generation of the Su Clan is born to be unlocked.”

Su Yang thought to himself, not feeling that it was too distant.

The further one went in the Realms of immortal cultivation, the more time was needed for each stage's breakthrough; perhaps by the time he reached the Golden Core Stage, the Family would already have traces of the fourth or even fifth generation of scions.

While the clansmen in the courtyard joyfully celebrated Su Zhengjun's birth, Su Yang had already immersed himself in his Sea of Consciousness, quietly reading through the newly Acquired Zongyuan Soul Refining Scripture.

It wasn't that he didn't like his eldest grandson, but rather that this Bloodline Genealogy concerned the future of the entire Su Clan; he needed to understand the function of the new dao method and consider which Fates he should bestow upon his scions.
