98: Chapter 98 Earth-level Spiritual Root, Shocking System

"Waa—!!!!"

That loud cry, seemingly containing the infinite Dao sounds, pierced through the clouds and rocks, resounding throughout the entire Baifeng City!

Following this cry, the seven-colored Spiritual Qi vortex that covered the sky above Gu Garden shook violently!

Immediately after, it transformed into a seven-colored torrent, thicker and more brilliant than any before!

Like a dam bursting in the heavenly river, it poured down!

It all submerged into the Lakeside Pavilion, which had long been shrouded in thick fog!

Between heaven and earth, all the phenomena reached their peak at this moment!

Then, in just a few short breaths, they receded rapidly like the tide.

The sky returned to clarity.

The celestial music dissipated into nothingness.

The auspicious signs also hid their traces.

It was as if that earth-shattering scene of heaven and earth celebrating together was just a... magnificent dream.

However, every Cultivator in Baifeng City who witnessed all of this knew clearly.

Something... extraordinary.

Or rather... an extraordinary "existence" was born today in the Gu Family!

...

[System! Detect!]

The moment he heard that cry, Gu Yan issued an urgent command in his mind!

His heart was beating violently from excessive anticipation and nervousness, almost jumping out of his chest!

Xuan Grade! This time, at the very least, it should be a Xuan Grade, right?!

[Beep...]

The System's voice slowly sounded in his mind.

But this time, it lacked its usual smoothness.

[Detected... host's fourth offspring... birth...]

[In progress... performing... Bloodline... tracing...]

[Data stream... analyzing... Warning! Data stream request... overloaded!]

[Warning! Detected unknown Advanced Bloodline! System core database... match failed!]

[Submitting query request to... Heavens and Myriad Worlds Bloodline Genealogy Library version 3.0...]

The System's voice was intermittent, filled with a sense of difficulty.

The familiar static noise became incredibly chaotic, as if it were an old computer about to burn out from over-calculation!

Gu Yan's heart suddenly leaped into his throat!

What is going on?! Even the System can't detect it?!

Could it be... A crazy thought, one that made even him feel heart-palpitations, uncontrollably emerged from the bottom of his heart!

Could it be... higher than Xuan Grade?!

Time, at this moment, seemed to be infinitely slowed down.

Every breath felt as long as a Reincarnation.

Finally. After nearly a minute of suffocating "data query."

The System's stuttering voice finally sounded again.

This time, there was no previous excitement or screaming in its voice.

Nor was there the usual laziness and unreliability.

What remained was only a kind of... a mix of disbelief, extreme shock, and... like a Mortal witnessing a miracle descending... trembling! And... awe!

[...Impossible...]

[This... this is impossible...]

It seemed to be talking to itself, or perhaps questioning the result it had just queried, one that was enough to overturn its entire System's cognition.

[According to... according to the records of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds Bloodline Genealogy Library version 3.0... such... such a Lower Realm plane, with barren Spiritual Qi and incomplete Law... how... how is it possible... to give birth to...]

Its voice trembled more and more.

Finally, it took a deep breath and, with a tone almost like a "pilgrimage," filled with endless awe, slowly and word by word, announced to Gu Yan the final answer that would shake even the gods and buddhas of the heavens!

[...Congratulations... host...]

[Your daughter...]

[She... she is...]

[It is the legendary... one rarely seen in ten thousand years...]

[Earth-Grade...]

[Medium Grade Spiritual Root]...!!!!!!!

Silence. Absolute, deathly silence.

The moment Gu Yan heard those last four words, his entire world, all sounds, all colors, faded away completely.

Only those four golden characters remained, constantly echoing crazily and resounding in his mind!

Earth-Grade! Medium Grade!

He felt as if he had been struck head-on by divine lightning from the Nine Heavens!

Completely stunned, standing rooted to the spot!

His mind was blank!

A Xuan Grade Spirit Root is already rare in a millennium, destined to achieve the status of a Golden Core Master!

Then... that legendary Earth-Grade Spiritual Root, which only exists in ancient myths, said to be able to resonate with the Law of heaven and earth the moment it is born... how Heaven-Defying would that be?!

He was already completely unable to imagine it!

[...I... I have witnessed history...]

The System's voice was still muttering in a sleep-talking tone.

[My career... has reached Perfection... today...]

"She's born! She's born! Old Ancestor!"

At this moment, a shout filled with endless joy and excitement pulled Gu Yan's Divine Soul, which had already flown to the Nine Heavens, back!

Seeing the door of the delivery room slowly pushed open.

The midwife, her face full of joy, even so excited that she was somewhat flustered, carefully carried out a small baby wrapped in a brocade quilt, as if holding a rare treasure a billion times more precious than her own life!

"Congratulations Old Ancestor! Congratulations Old Ancestor! The Madam has given birth! She has given birth to... a little fairy!"

Gu Yan suddenly snapped back to reality!

He took two steps in one, rushed forward, extended his hands that were trembling violently from excessive excitement, and took his... daughter!

The little one was also not crying or making a fuss.

She just quietly opened a pair of ice-blue eyes, more brilliant than the stars and deeper than the deep sea, curiously observing this world.

Her skin was crystal clear, delicate enough to be broken by a blow, and even faintly emitted a light treasure glow.

The most peculiar thing was that right in the center of her smooth forehead, there was naturally branded a lifelike snowflake mark composed of six ice crystals!

That mark seemed to contain infinite mystery; just one glance made one's mind sway, almost wanting to sink into it!

Gu Yan looked at the daughter in his arms who, upon birth, had caused heaven and earth to celebrate together and was destined to shine through the ages.

His heart was filled with unprecedented, incomparable... pride! And... ambition!

He knew.

From the moment this child was born.

The fate of his Gu Family would no longer be confined to this small Baifeng City.

No longer confined to this barren Dongtu Continent!

Their journey would be... the endless stars! And... the vast Dao!
