50: The array is naturally formed, and the snow is about to fall.
Time flies like a white steed passing a crack; in the blink of an eye, another seven months passed.
Qingyang City—or rather, the current Chu City of Tianfeng Prefecture—had undergone earth-shaking changes over the past six months.
Under the leadership of the Chu Family, the resources of the entire Tianfeng Prefecture were integrated like never before.
Lin Waner's Pill Hall had expanded its business to every corner of the Great Yan Dynasty and even begun radiating toward neighboring dynasties. Every day, massive amounts of Spirit Stones and resources flowed into the Chu Family's storehouses like water.
Meanwhile, the father-daughter duo of Su Qingxue and Su Mo had completely turned into a pair of "research fanatics."
Chu He practically sold everything he had, investing most of the Family's liquid assets to purchase mountains of rare Materials for them.
With Chu He's support regardless of the cost, an unprecedented super-Formation, centered on Qingyang City, began to slowly unfold.
Su Qingxue truly lived up to her reputation as a Formation Genius possessing the SS-grade "Exquisite Array Heart." Using the "fortune gathering altar" blueprints as a template and integrating the essence of the "heavenly derivation array diagram," she creatively dismantled the "heaven and earth twin interlocking array plate" to serve as the two core eyes of the Formation.
The prototype of a top-tier fourth-rank composite Formation—integrating spirit gathering, defense, illusion, and absolute killing—had already begun to take shape.
Although the Formation could not be fully completed due to the lack of two crucial fifth-rank Formation Plates, even its prototype possessed power far exceeding that of ordinary fourth-rank Formations.
Su Mo asserted that once this Formation was completed, let alone Soul Transformation experts, even if a legendary Void Refining Stage powerhouse arrived in person, they could forget about easily breaking through!
Meanwhile, the next generation of the Chu Family was also thriving.
The Eldest Son, Chu Tian, was nearly three years old. Supported by a massive amount of Medicinal Pills, his cultivation had reached the seventh level of Body Tempering. His Foundation was incredibly solid, far surpassing his peers.
His daughter, Chu Yuning, remained as ethereal and tranquil as ever. She spent most of her time sleeping, but whenever she woke up, she enjoyed watching Su Qingxue deduce Formations, staring for entire days. No one knew what was going on in her little head.
As for the dragon and phoenix twins, Chu Batian and Chu Lingxi, they had become the complete "Devil Kings" of the Chu Family estate.
The two little ones, only seven months old, could already crawl all over the place. Their strength was astonishing; they would often accidentally knock over rockeries in the courtyard or fish out the koi from the pond to use as toys.
If not for the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Pendants suppressing their power, the entire Chu Family estate would likely have been torn down by them.
During this time, Chu He's cultivation had also completely stabilized at the peak of the Late Golden Core Stage.
Aside from spending time with his wife and children and guiding his offspring, he spent every day silently accumulating power, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
He always had a premonition that the Nascent Soul Old Monster "Heavenly Secret Master," who had been killed by his daughter's single finger, would definitely not be the last of his troubles.
Beneath this tranquility, a massive crisis lay hidden.
He had to achieve a Breakthrough as soon as possible to gain a true sense of security.
On this day, Chu He was in the back mountain, personally guiding his son Chu Tian in Cultivating the basic fist techniques of the "Nine Revolutions Tyrant Dragon Art."
Although Chu Tian was only three, his S-grade Innate Spiritual Body was no joke. Each move he executed was already quite disciplined and carried a powerful wind.
"Daddy, tired..."
After finishing a set of fist techniques, Chu Tian's little face was flushed with exhaustion. He plopped down on the ground and pouted, acting spoiled.
"You're tired already?" Chu He said with a stern face, feigning severity. "Back when your father was your age, I could already..."
Halfway through, he couldn't even finish his own lie.
Back when he was three, he was still playing with mud.
"Alright, alright, that's enough for today. Go play." Chu He waved his hand helplessly.
"Yay! Daddy is the best!"
Chu Tian cheered and vanished in a flash, likely heading off to find his "mount," Azure Phoenix.
Chu He watched his son's lively back, a knowing smile appearing on his face.
However, right at that moment.
A sudden change occurred!
The clear sky suddenly darkened without any warning.
Then, within a hundred-mile radius of Qingyang City, all metal objects—whether they were Mortals' kitchen knives and iron pots or Cultivators' Flying Swords and Magic Treasures—began to vibrate violently and uncontrollably. They emitted bursts of "buzzing" resonance, as if they were worshipping their emperor!
Simultaneously, visible streaks of golden light, formed from the purest Gengjin Qi, streaked through the air from all directions. Above the Chu Family estate, they gathered into a golden ocean!
In the center of this golden ocean, countless profound and complex golden runes appeared out of thin air. They linked and combined with each other, eventually evolving in the sky into a colossal, horizon-spanning phantom of a Peerless Killing Formation!
Within that killing Formation, Sword Qi crisscrossed, and a murderous aura soared into the sky, causing every living being in Qingyang City to feel a shudder from the depths of their Souls!
"This... what kind of phenomenon is this?!"
"Golden Qi fills the sky, and a Formation diagram forms itself! My god, which immortal from the Chu Family is about to be born now?"
"It's too terrifying! I feel like my Flying Sword is about to fly out of my control!"
In the city, countless Cultivators turned pale with horror.
In the back mountain of the Chu Family, Chu He watched the scene in the sky. His pupils suddenly constricted, and then, a look of boundless ecstasy surged onto his face!
This phenomenon... it's Qingxue!
Su Qingxue is going into labor!
His figure blurred, and he instantly returned to the Chu Family estate.
Sure enough, lights were already lit in Su Qingxue's courtyard. Lin Waner and Qing'er were nervously directing the servants.
"Husband!"
Seeing Chu He return, the two women hurried to meet him.
"How is the situation?" Chu He asked urgently.
"It's just started; the Midwife has already gone in," Lin Waner said. She looked up at the terrifying phantom of the killing Formation in the sky and said with lingering fear, "Husband, the commotion Sister Qingxue is making this time seems even more... more frightening than any time before."
Qing'er also nodded like a chick pecking at grain.
That incomparably sharp murderous aura made her feel as if her Soul was about to be torn apart.
Chu He looked up at the Formation diagram that had evolved on its own from the power of heaven and earth, his eyes shimmering with excitement.
As expected of the combination of the SS-grade "Exquisite Array Heart" and the SS-grade "Innate Array Spirit Soul"!
This child hasn't even been born yet, but they've already stirred the Great Dao of heaven and earth to evolve a Natal Killing Formation!
Once born, wouldn't it be even more incredible?
He had already begun to look forward immensely to what kind of explosive rewards the System would bring him this time!
Time passed minute by minute.
The phantom of the killing Formation in the sky became more and more solid, and the murderous aura it emitted grew increasingly terrifying.
At the very moment that aura reached its peak!
"Wah—!"
A clear and high-pitched cry of a baby, yet carrying an endless sharp aura, rang out from the delivery room, instantly drowning out all other sounds between heaven and earth!
Along with this cry, the massive phantom of the killing Formation in the sky shook violently, then transformed into a streak of golden light brilliant to the extreme. Like a meteorite, it crashed down and vanished into the delivery room!
