【 Reward calculation in progress... 】

【 Congratulations to the host for obtaining a critical hit reward: 】

【 1. Cultivation instillation: Ten thousand years of pure cultivation (purified by the System, no side effects)! 】

【 2. extreme dao imperial weapon: Ice Emperor Scepter (companion emperor artifact, containing the Origin of the Ice Dao, can be gifted to offspring or partners according to the host's will)! 】

【 3. Family Luck: Ice and Snow Auspiciousness (spiritual plant growth rate within the Xu Family territory increased by 30%, cultivation speed for Ice-element Cultivators doubled)! 】

"Boom!"

As the System's voice faded, a vast, ocean-like pure energy instantly appeared out of thin air within Xu Chen's Dantian.

This energy did not rampage wildly; instead, like a gentle river, it flowed through his Meridians, furiously scouring his limbs and bones.

Originally, Xu Chen's cultivation had already reached the Late Stage Quasi-Saint, only a step away from the legendary 'Quasi-Emperor' threshold.

At this moment, pushed by this massive energy, that solid Bottleneck shattered instantly like paper.

Crack!

A crisp Dao sound rang out from within Xu Chen's body, as if shackles had broken.

A terrifying aura that transcended the Realm of Saints and carried a trace of the 'Emperor' charm erupted from him, but was instantly suppressed by him to avoid harming his daughter in his arms and the sleeping Bai Ningbing.

Initial Stage Quasi-Saint!

Xu Chen clenched his fists, feeling the earth-shaking changes in power within his body, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

Today, if he were to face those so-called Saint Lords and Emperor Lords again, he probably wouldn't even need to fully activate his Hongmeng Body; a single slap would be enough to wipe out a group of them.

"System, extract this Ice Emperor Scepter."

Xu Chen thought to himself.

Hum!

A scepter, crafted entirely from millions of years of mystic ice with a deep blue divine crystal embedded at the top, appeared in his hand.

As soon as the scepter appeared, the surrounding space froze instantly. If not for Xu Chen's deliberate suppression, the entire Tingxue Palace would likely have returned to the Ice Age.

"Good stuff."

Xu Chen nodded with satisfaction and casually shrunk the scepter into an exquisite ice-blue hairpin, placing it gently into his daughter's swaddling clothes.

"Little one, this is a welcome gift from your father. In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, just use this to smash their dog head."

Little Nianxue in his arms seemed to sense the treasure's aura, reached out with her chubby little hands to grab the hairpin, and giggled.

...

At this moment, outside Tingxue Palace.

The crowd, who had been waiting anxiously, was dumbfounded by this series of heavenly phenomena.

First, snow filled the sky, accompanied by thousands of strands of auspicious Qi.

Immediately after, a vast Quasi-Saint pressure flashed from within the palace—that was the aura belonging to Xu Chen.

"A Breakthrough?!"

Xu Changsheng widened his eyes, nearly crushing the two walnuts he was twirling in his hand.

"Can one even have a Breakthrough in a major Realm while giving birth to a child? What exactly is this brat's Physique made of?"

"Who cares what it's made of? It was born by me, anyway!"

Ji Wushuang rolled her eyes at him. Although her words were dismissive, the pride on her face could not be concealed. She smoothed her clothes and prepared to rush inside.

"Alright, the aura has stabilized, and the child is crying. Let's go in and take a look!"

Just then, the tightly closed palace doors slowly opened.

"Creak—"

Xu Chen stepped out, holding the swaddled infant.

At this moment, he was dressed in white robes as pure as snow. Although he had just experienced a race-against-time rescue, his aura was harmonious and complete, the Quasi-Saint pressure restrained, giving him an air of returning to simplicity and warmth.

"Father, Mother."

Xu Chen glanced at the Family gathered at the entrance, his gaze finally landing on Su Qingge and the others who were full of concern. He lifted the child in his arms and broke into a radiant smile.

"Both mother and daughter are safe."

"It's a... ah, bah, it's a sweet little cotton-padded jacket."

"Phew—"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quick! Let me see!"

Ji Wushuang rushed up first, expertly snatching the child from Xu Chen's arms.

When she saw Little Nianxue's crystal-clear skin and iconic ice-blue hair, even this Clan Chief's wife, who had seen many grand scenes, couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss—this is... a natural Saint Physique? And this Bloodline Power, it actually triggered heavenly phenomena?"

"Mythical grade."

Xu Chen added calmly, his tone carrying a touch of humblebrag.

"Although it's not as good as Great Treasure's Chaos Body, it's about the same."

"..."

The surrounding Family Elders' mouths twitched wildly.

Listen to that, is that human talk?

Mythical grade, and he calls it "about the same"? Other families would burn incense just to have a Spirit Physique appear!

"Good, good, good! The Xu Family is truly blessed by the heavens!"

Xu Changsheng was so excited that his old face turned red, and he laughed loudly:

"Pass down the order! Double the resources for all spiritual mines and medicinal fields in the Family today! Hold a grand banquet for three days to celebrate the birth of our Xu Family's daughter!"

"Yes!"

The Elders responded in unison, all of them going off joyfully to make arrangements.

At this moment, Su Qingge walked over holding Great Treasure.

She glanced at Little Nianxue in Ji Wushuang's arms, her eyes filled with love, then looked at Xu Chen and asked softly:

"How is Sister Ningbing?"

"Exhausted, she just fell asleep."

Xu Chen said softly, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair that had been blown by the wind behind Su Qingge's ear.

"But her Origin is unharmed, and after this birth, her Extreme Cold Physique has been thoroughly cleared, so her cultivation will surely progress by leaps and bounds in the future."

"That's good."

Su Qingge nodded, her suspended heart finally put at ease.

At this time, Luo Hongyi, with her big belly, came over, staring curiously at Little Nianxue for a long time, then pursed her lips and said haughtily:

"She looks fair enough, but she looks cold. Don't freeze my child in the future."

"Sister Hongyi, you're just jealous that she gave birth before you."

Jiang Liuli, standing nearby, covered her mouth and chuckled, ruthlessly exposing her.

"I'm jealous?"

Luo Hongyi raised an eyebrow and puffed out her impressively sized belly.

"What I'm carrying are Dragon and Phoenix Twins! In terms of quantity and quality, how could I lose to her?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are the most powerful."

Xu Chen walked over with a smile, habitually reaching out to touch Luo Hongyi's belly, only to be slapped away by her with feigned disgust.

"Don't touch me, so many people are watching."

A faint, imperceptible blush flashed across Luo Hongyi's face, and she turned her head to look at Long Aoxue, Feng Jiuyou, and Nangong Waner standing nearby.

These three "newcomers" who had just returned home were looking with envy at Little Nianxue, who was surrounded by the crowd.

Especially Long Aoxue, looking at that delicate, jade-carved baby, then touching her own slightly protruding belly, her eyes filled with longing.

"Don't worry, everyone will have their turn."

Xu Chen seemed to see through their thoughts, walked over, wrapped his arms around one of them, and whispered teasingly:

"Our Family believes in 'many children, many blessings'. As long as you all work hard, we can open a kindergarten in this courtyard next year."

"Go away!"

The women all spat in unison, but their eyes and brows were filled with smiles.

At this moment, the sunset glow spilled onto Changshang Island, plating the courtyard full of stunning beauties and the newborn life with a layer of golden brilliance.

"Alright, don't just stand here."

Su Qingge, as the first wife, displayed the demeanor of a mistress at this moment.

"Husband just returned and was busy saving people; he must be exhausted. Hongyi, Liuli, you accompany Husband to the front hall to rest. Waner and I will stay behind to take care of Ningbing."

"Aoxue and Sister Jiuyou are also tired from the journey; go and bathe and change clothes in the guest rooms first. We will hold a welcome banquet in the evening."

The orderly arrangements left no room for complaint.

"Qingge..."

Xu Chen looked at the capable silhouette, a warm current surging in his heart.

To have such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?

"What are you looking at? Why don't you go wash off that stench of sweat?"

As Su Qingge passed by him, she took advantage of the crowd not paying attention, reached out and gave his waist a light pinch, lowering her voice, her tone carrying a touch of intimacy that only the two of them could understand.

"Wash yourself clean."

"Tonight... come to my room."

"I have some words (accounts) to settle with you."

Xu Chen felt a numbness in his waist upon hearing this, but looking at Su Qingge's knowing smile, his heart was ablaze.

"As you command, Madam!"
