144: The eldest son arrives, possessing the Myriad Array Dao Body

Lingxuan Realm, the Far North Ice Field, beneath a ten-thousand-foot-deep ice cavern.

With a thought from Chu He, two thousand points of family fortune value were instantly consumed.

The void before him rippled like a calm lake after a pebble had been tossed in, spreading circles of silver ripples. Immediately after, two figures were forcibly pulled from a distant world by an invisible force amidst the distortion of light.

As the light dissipated, Su Qingxue and Chu Tian appeared, stumbling, their faces still carrying a hint of dizziness and confusion from crossing the world passage.

“Husband!” The moment Su Qingxue saw the person before her, all her unease turned into pleasant surprise. She subconsciously looked around; this was no longer the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, but a strange place filled with extreme cold and dense Spiritual Qi. The surrounding ice walls shimmered with a ghostly blue luster, every inch containing staggering energy.

“Dad!” Chu Tian was filled with shock. He felt the Spiritual Qi in the air, which was more than ten times denser than in the Xuanhuang Realm, as well as that ubiquitous Law-based chill that seemed capable of freezing the Soul. His eyes were full of novelty and wonder.

But in the next moment, the gaze of both mother and son simultaneously froze upon Chu He.

They couldn't sense any aura fluctuations from Chu He. He just stood there so calmly, like a Mortal. Yet, it was precisely this state of returning to basics that made them instinctively feel a terrifying depth, like an abyss or a vast sea.

Being at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, Su Qingxue had a powerful Divine Soul and could sense it even more clearly. She could 'see' that her husband's body seemed to merge with the Laws of this world; every movement seemed to trigger a resonance with the entire world. This Realm had long since surpassed the scope of her understanding.

“Husband, your... your cultivation?” Su Qingxue's voice carried a hint of trembling.

She remembered very clearly that when Chu He left the Family, he was still at the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage. While powerful, he was still within the Realm of understanding. But the Chu He before her gave her a sense of majesty as if she were facing the Heavenly Dao.

Chu Tian's mouth was also wide open. Within his gold and gray heterochromatic pupils, the Origin power of destruction and creation was flowing. He could see the dormant, terrifying power within his father's body—enough to tear apart stars—more intuitively than his mother.

“Dad, have you achieved Immortal Ascension?” the youth blurted out.

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Chu He's face. He reached out, gently rubbing his son's head, and then took his wife's hand. The warmth from his palm instantly set Su Qingxue's mind at ease.

“I haven't reached Immortal Ascension yet; I've merely broken through to the Void Refining Realm by chance,” Chu He said nonchalantly.

Void Refining Realm!

These three words were like a thunderclap exploding in the minds of Su Qingxue and Chu Tian.

How many years had it been since a Void Refining Realm appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm? That was a legend that only existed in ancient texts! The Soul Transformation Stage was already the peak of the world, but Void Refining... those were Earth Immortals who could preliminarily wield the Laws and travel through the Void Realm!

Su Qingxue covered her mouth, her eyes filled with unspeakable shock and pride. Every time her husband returned from a trip, he brought about world-shaking changes.

“Alright, this place isn't suitable for a long stay.” Chu He didn't explain too much. He knew there were too many things he needed to tell them, but not right now.

Holding his wife's hand in one and placing the other on his son's shoulder, with a thought, the figures of the three instantly disappeared from the bottom of the ice cavern.

In the next instant, they had already appeared atop a mountain peak ten thousand miles away.

Warm sunlight dispelled the chill of the ice cavern. Looking out, the mountains and rivers were magnificent, and Spiritual Qi was misty. Su Qingxue and Chu Tian watched the earth rapidly receding beneath their feet, only then truly realizing what a terrifying Divine Ability it was for a Void Refining Great Expert to 'shrink the earth to an inch'.

“This is another cultivation world, which I call the Lingxuan Realm,” Chu He began, his voice calm yet containing an unquestionable power. “I summoned you here because I found a way for our Chu Family to increase our chances of survival in the coming catastrophe.”

Catastrophe?

Su Qingxue and Chu Tian's hearts tightened. They knew that her husband (his father) had always been preparing to fight those so-called 'Outer-Realm Heavenly Demons', but from his solemn tone at this moment, they realized that the severity of this crisis probably far exceeded their imagination.

“Husband, what do we need to do?” Su Qingxue asked immediately, her gaze incredibly firm. No matter what they faced, she would stand with her husband without the slightest hesitation.

Chu Tian also clenched his fists, his gold and gray pupils burning with Battle Intent: “Dad, just say the word. Your son is not afraid of death!”

Seeing the determination in the eyes of his wife and Eldest Son, Chu He felt a warmth in his heart. These were the Family members he would risk everything to protect.

He didn't answer directly, but instead gave a grand wave of his hand.

*Clatter clatter—*

In an instant, tens of thousands of Storage Rings and storage bracelets were poured out by him from within the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, piling up into a shimmering small mountain atop the peak.

Spiritual Qi so dense it had turned physical, medicinal fragrances, and treasure light soared into the sky, dyeing the clouds for a hundred miles in various colors.

Su Qingxue and Chu Tian were completely stunned.

What were they seeing?

Mountains of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, each one purer than the best in the Chu Family's treasury! Countless ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines, many of which were legendary items long extinct in the Xuanhuang Realm! There were also various Artifact Refining Materials shimmering with Law fluctuations, and even... they sensed several Magic Treasures emitting a terrifying pressure that surpassed the Soul Transformation level! Those were... Void Refining level Magic Treasures!

This... was this emptying out the entire foundation of a whole world?

“Husband, these... these are?” Su Qingxue's voice was trembling. Although the Chu Family was already the number one Family in the Xuanhuang Realm, their entire foundation added together probably wasn't even ten percent of this treasure mountain before them!

Seeing the shocked expressions of his wife and son, Chu He understood. He wanted to use this most direct method to let them understand the power he now possessed.

“These are things I ‘borrowed’ from the hands of this world's six top Sects,” Chu He said calmly. “Now, they all belong to our Chu Family.”

This one sentence made Su Qingxue and Chu Tian gasp again.

“Borrowed” from the hands of the six top Sects? And by the looks of it, these six Sects were all terrifying powers that possessed Void Refining Realm Old Ancestors! Just how had her husband (his father) done it?

Chu He ignored their shock, his gaze becoming incredibly deep.

“Qingxue, Tian'er, you both possess SSS-grade talents; you are the future and the pillars of my Chu Family. But having talent and cultivation alone is not enough. Facing a truly powerful enemy, we need even stronger weapons.”

He paused and said word by word: “A type of exclusive divine weapon that perfectly matches your Bloodline talent, can grow along with you, and will increase your combat power by ten or a hundred times!”

“System, open the [bloodline armament] module!” Chu He barked in his heart.

In the next moment, a golden light screen that only he could see unfolded before him. Upon the light screen, ancient and profound runes flowed, eventually converging into four large characters—[bloodline armament].

Chu He's gaze landed on his Eldest Son, Chu Tian, his eyes shimmering with an unprecedented light.

“Tian'er, you will be the first.”

“I will forge for you a... World-Destroying Weapon that belongs solely to your ‘Chaos Annihilation Dragon Body’!”
