28: Chapter 28 System Critical Hit Reward: Gain a century of cultivation, and the Emperor's Guard!

The festive atmosphere inside the delivery room was almost overflowing out the windows.

Ji Wushuang held the newborn Xu Dabao, unable to put him down. She didn't even dare to use any force with her fingers, fearing she might hurt this precious darling who already possessed a Saint's cultivation level before even being weaned.

Xu Changsheng and the Ninth Ancestor, two old men whose combined ages reached tens of thousands of years, were currently like two children fighting over a toy, crowding around Ji Wushuang and eagerly waiting in line to hold their grandson.

"Move aside, move aside! I am the Great-Grandfather, I have priority!"

"Bullshit! I am the grandfather, his actual grandfather! If I don't hold him, who will?"

Watching this heartwarming yet somewhat comical scene, a faint smile played on the corners of Xu Chen's mouth as he quietly retreated to the wide viewing terrace outside the delivery room.

At this moment, night had fallen, and the sky was filled with twinkling stars, as if they were blinking in celebration of the birth of the new life.

Xu Chen took a deep breath, calming his excited emotions.

His son was born, and he possessed an SSS+ grade God-tier talent.

Given the system's usual style, that so-called "Many Children, Many Blessings" reward would definitely not be as simple as the previous "Bloodline Feedback."

"System, settle the rewards."

Xu Chen murmured in his heart.

[Ding! Detected that the host has sired his first SSS+ grade offspring. Not only has the family bloodline been continued, but the family's Providence has been pushed to an unprecedented peak.]

[System is performing a Super Critical Hit settlement...]

[Settlement complete!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following rewards:]

[Reward 1: Five hundred years of pure cultivation (Heart demons and impurities removed, contains insights into the Great Dao, direct initiation).]

[Reward 2: Emperor-grade Dead Soldier Puppets x2 (Codename: Tiankui, Di evil spirits).]

[Reward 3: extreme dao imperial weapon material — Chaos Mother Gold (100,000 catties).]

[Reward 4: Family Providence +10,000.]

Looking at the string of glittering golden words on the system panel, even though Xu Chen was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Five hundred years of pure cultivation?

And the kind that contained insights into the Great Dao?

One must know that upon reaching the Sendai Secret Realm, every step of improvement was as difficult as ascending to heaven. An ordinary genius wanting to move from the first level of Sendai to the second, even with family resources piled up, would take at least several hundred years of bitter cultivation.

And now, the system was directly giving five hundred years of "finished product"?

And those two Emperor-grade puppets...

Xu Chen's divine sense delved into the system space, where he saw two figures standing three zhang tall, their entire bodies shrouded in black-gold armor, standing silently.

They had no breath, no heartbeat, and not even any soul fluctuations, but the aura emanating from them made even Xu Chen, their master, feel a tremor in his heart.

They were pure killing machines.

Possessing the physical body and combat power of a Great Emperor, knowing no pain or fear, and absolutely loyal to Xu Chen.

"This is... a nuclear weapon."

Xu Chen swallowed hard.

With these two bodyguards, why would he even need to bring Dark Elder when going out in the future? Just by placing these two great deities there, who would dare to bare their teeth?

"Merge cultivation!"

Xu Chen no longer hesitated and directly gave the command.

Boom—!

A flood of energy several times more massive than the previous bloodline feedback instantly poured into the crown of Xu Chen's head from the void.

This time, there was no world-shaking phenomenon, because all the energy was perfectly controlled within Xu Chen's body by the system, without a single bit being wasted.

Every cell in Xu Chen's body was cheering, greedily devouring this energy.

The realm barrier of the peak of the first level of Sendai, which he had already reached, was like a dam facing a flood; it collapsed instantly.

Sendai Second Level, broken!

A terrifying aura belonging to the "Mighty One" level spread out from Xu Chen.

In the cultivation world, the first level of Sendai was called a Half-Step Mighty One. Although it carried the name "Mighty One," it was still lacking that final spark.

Only by stepping into the second level of Sendai could one be considered a true Mighty One, possessing the qualifications to establish a sect and suppress a region.

And Xu Chen's breakthrough did not stop.

Sendai Second Level early stage... middle stage... late stage...

It wasn't until the peak of Sendai Second Level that the massive energy was finally exhausted.

Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes, and two golden divine beams shot out like physical objects, carving two long trails in the night sky.

He clenched his fists, feeling the power within him that seemed capable of plucking stars with his bare hands.

"Peak Mighty One."

"One more step forward and I'll be a Dao Severing King."

A satisfied arc curved on Xu Chen's lips.

How long had it been?

From the time he transmigrated and awakened the system until now, it had only been a few months at most.

In a few months, he had gone from a mere mortal to a peak Mighty One.

With this kind of speed, let alone those so-called Holy Sons and Divine Maidens, even if an Ancient Emperor were resurrected, they would have to kneel on the ground and call him a "cheater."

"Phew..."

Xu Chen restrained his aura, returning to his seemingly harmless noble young master appearance.

He turned and pushed open the door, stepping back into the delivery room.

At this time, Xu Changsheng had finally snatched the chance to hold his grandson. He was holding Xu Dabao and laughing foolishly, muttering, "Good grandson, call me grandpa."

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Xu Changsheng jerked his head around and stared fixedly at Xu Chen, who had just entered.

"Chen'er, you..."

As a Great Emperor, how sharp was his perception?

Although Xu Chen had deliberately restrained his aura, in Xu Changsheng's eyes, his son at this moment was like a newly risen sun, his blood vitality terrifyingly vigorous.

"You broke through again?!"

Xu Changsheng's eyes widened, his voice even changing pitch slightly. "This... this is the Mighty One realm? And the peak?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Wushuang and the Ninth Ancestor in the room also stopped their movements, looking at Xu Chen with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Didn't he just break through to Half-Step Mighty One a moment ago?

How did he become a peak Mighty One in the time it took to go out for some fresh air?

Did you eat an immortal pill?

Facing the shocked gazes of his elders, Xu Chen calmly shrugged and made up an excuse on the fly:

"Perhaps it's because I've become a father. My mood is good, my thoughts are clear, and I accidentally had an epiphany."

"Epiphany..."

Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched.

What kind of god-tier epiphany could suddenly produce five hundred years of cultivation!

Then again.

Since he could even produce a Chaos Body that was a Saint at birth, what was his son breaking through to the Mighty One realm himself?

Standard procedure, just standard procedure.

"Ahem, not bad. As expected of my, Xu Changsheng's, seed."

Xu Changsheng forced himself to save face, pretending to be calm as if he had "expected it all along." "However, remember, your foundation must be stable; do not be greedy for progress."

"Father's lesson is noted."

Xu Chen replied with a smile, then stepped forward and took Xu Dabao, who was currently biting his finger, from his father's arms.

As soon as the little guy reached Xu Chen's arms, he immediately began to giggle. His big, dark eyes curved into crescents, and the Great Dao divine rune on his forehead flickered slightly, seemingly resonating with the Primordial Qi within his father's body.

"Dabao, oh Dabao."

Xu Chen reached out a finger and gently poked his son's chubby cheek, an unprecedented sense of responsibility surging in his heart.

"Your father is now a Mighty One, and I have two Emperor-grade bodyguards in my hands."

"In this Ancient Immortal Realm, you can walk however you want from now on."

"If anyone dares to bully you..."

A flash of severity passed through Xu Chen's eyes as the figures of those two Emperor-grade puppets appeared in his mind.

"Your father will let them know what a harsh beating from society feels like."

"By the way, Father."

Xu Chen looked up at Xu Changsheng, his eyes sparkling with the light of someone about to stir up trouble.

"Since Dabao is born, shouldn't we have a celebration?"

"Hmm? How do you want to celebrate?" Xu Changsheng asked.

"With a one-month-old banquet, of course!"

The corners of Xu Chen's mouth turned up. "And it must be a big one! An extraordinary one!"

"Send invitations to all the Sacred Lands, Great Families, and Imperial Dynasties in the world!"

"I want everyone to know that my, Xu Chen's, son is a Chaos Body!"

Speaking to this point, Xu Chen paused, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

"Especially that Wang Teng of the North Yuan Royal Family."

"The invitation must be delivered to his hands, and it must be extra large and bold!"

"Didn't he say he was going to step on me to rise to the top? Didn't he say I was a man living off a woman?"

"Perfectly timed, I'll use this one-month banquet to let him see."

"What it means to... be honored through one's son!"

Xu Changsheng was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, his laugh filled with the dominance and protectiveness of an Emperor Clan.

"Good!"

"We shall do as you say!"

"Great Elder! Pass down the order!"

"In one month, the Xu Family will hold a grand one-month banquet for the Young Master's eldest son!"

"Invite all the heroes of the world!"

"If anyone doesn't come, they are looking down on my Xu Family, and they won't need to stay in the Eastern Wasteland anymore!"

As this decree was sent out, the entire Ancient Immortal Realm boiled over once again.

Everyone knew.

This one-month banquet was definitely not just a simple party.
