58: Chapter 58 The Battle of Prodigies Begins, Storms Brew in the Eastern Wilderness

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was silent.

Li Xuan stood where he was.

He closed his eyes and looked within himself.

His Dantian, Qi Sea, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians had all vanished.

Replacing them was a gray, misty expanse of Chaos.

In the center of the Chaos, two small fish, one gold and one silver, were connected head-to-tail.

They were the Solar True Fire and the Lunar Divine Flame.

They rotated, balancing each other.

Further away, golden blood energy formed the earth.

Wealth Luck and Luck were the stars.

Geng Metal Qi was the barrier of the world.

This was the Chaos Body.

Li Xuan moved his thoughts.

The scene inside his body changed suddenly.

The Lunar Power faded away.

Golden blood energy soared into the sky, and pressure permeated out from his body.

Ancient Desolate Saint Body.

Another thought.

The domineering aura disappeared.

A cold moon rose.

White frost covered the beams and pillars of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the temperature inside the hall plummeted, and the air was filled with ice crystals.

Lunar Body.

All kinds of Physiques and thousands of Bloodlines evolved as he wished.

"A bit interesting."

He smiled.

This feeling was like a powerful Divine Artifact.

Loaded with all the Systems in the world.

He could use whichever he wanted.

Switching freely without the slightest lag.

This powerful sense of control made him feel more at ease than a simple surge in strength.

Peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Saint Realm.

Coupled with this Chaos Body.

He was confident that even if a Great Emperor descended, he would have the strength to fight.

In this place called the Eastern Wasteland, he could finally walk sideways.

In a good mood, Li Xuan remembered that pile of "generous gifts."

The Yuhua Dynasty had spent a fortune to apologize.

The palace treasury was completely stuffed.

His Divine Thought swept through.

Most of the Heaven And Earth Treasures and Spirit Stones were thrown into the Royal Academy's warehouse.

To serve as cultivation resources for those little ones.

Those Magic Treasures were of poor quality.

The best were only a few Acquired Spirit Treasures.

Li Xuan didn't think much of them.

Only the material of the box containing the gift list was decent.

It was carved from ten-thousand-year star wood heart.

There was also a Seal Formation on it.

Li Xuan casually wiped away the Seal and opened the box.

Under the gift list, an ancient animal skin scroll was pressed.

"Hmm?"

Li Xuan picked up the scroll and probed it with his Divine Thought.

Instantly, the sounds of ten thousand armies fighting came from the scroll.

Eastern Wasteland Heavenly Pride Battle.

These words echoed in his Sea of Consciousness.

This was an eternal grand event.

Jointly organized by the Eastern Wasteland and several surrounding regions.

Once every three hundred years.

Location: Eternal Secret Realm.

Participants: Young Cultivators under the age of thirty.

No questions asked about background or cultivation level.

There was only one reward.

Heavenly Fate Luck.

It was said to be a wisp of Luck stripped from the Origin of the Great Dao.

Obtaining this Luck would gain the favor of the Heavenly Dao.

Cultivation would have no more Bottlenecks.

The possibility of proving the Dao as a Great Emperor would be extremely high.

The founding Old Ancestor of the Yuhua Dynasty had participated in the Heavenly Pride Battle thirty thousand years ago and placed in the top ten.

He didn't get the final Heavenly Fate Luck, only a wisp of accompanying Luck.

Relying on that wisp of Luck, he had established this immortal Imperial Dynasty.

This Heavenly Pride Battle was the ladder for the younger generation of the Eastern Wasteland to reach the top.

It was the only opportunity for all young Geniuses.

But for some reason, the battle that was supposed to open in a hundred years had actually been moved up.

The location was the Fallen Dragon Valley, not far from the Great Xia.

After reading this, Li Xuan's expression was a bit strange.

Heavenly Pride Battle?

Heavenly Fate Luck?

It sounded quite intimidating.

But what did this have to do with him?

He only wanted to sign in and take care of the children now.

Consolidate his cultivation, and research how to take that final half-step.

As for the battle, the fighting and killing, let the young ones deal with it.

He just wanted to Cultivate in a low-key manner and quietly accumulate strength.

"A bunch of brats fighting, what's there to watch."

Li Xuan curled his lips and wanted to throw the scroll away.

The thought had just arisen.

[Ding!]

The System prompt sounded in his mind.

This time, the voice was exceptionally solemn.

[Detected "Heavenly Fate Luck" in the world! Conditions for the final main quest triggered!]

[Ding! Unique main quest released——]

[Quest Name: My Children Have the Potential of a Great Emperor!]

[Quest Description: The Eastern Wasteland Heavenly Pride Battle is the Peak stage for the younger generation, a place where Luck gathers. Your children have infinite potential; it is time to let them go out and explore. As the creator of the God Race, the host's offspring should display their skills on this stage!]

[Quest Requirements: Please send at least one offspring to participate in this "Eastern Wasteland Heavenly Pride Battle" and successfully win the championship to obtain "Heavenly Fate Luck"!]

[Quest Rewards:]

[1. The host will obtain an opportunity to "Prove the Dao as a Great Emperor"!]

[2. The Divine-Grade Sign-in System will unlock the ultimate function——"Creation of the Divine Kingdom"!]

Seeing the quest rewards, Li Xuan's heart stirred.

An opportunity to Prove the Dao as a Great Emperor.

He was at the Peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Saint Realm.

Only half a step away from a Great Emperor.

But he knew clearly that this half-step was a chasm.

Countless gifted Saints had failed to take this final half-step.

Now, the System had given him a clear signpost.

And that "Creation of the Divine Kingdom".

Just hearing the name sounded extraordinary.

Create a Divine Kingdom?

Was this asking him to be a God of Creation?

He couldn't refuse this temptation.

But...

Li Xuan's expression became even stranger.

He looked down at the quest requirements.

Send an offspring to participate in the battle?

And win the championship?

Did the System have some misunderstanding about his children?

His eldest son, Li Changsheng, was three years old.

His second daughter, Li Qingyue, was two years old.

His third son, Li Yuanbao, was still in swaddling clothes and couldn't even speak clearly.

Let these nursing babies participate in the Heavenly Pride Battle?

Go compete on the same stage with those killers who had cultivated for decades?

This wasn't a joke.

This was sending them to die.

Li Xuan could already imagine the scene.

The Heavenly Pride Battle stage.

Talents from all walks gathered, each full of Battle Intent.

Then his three-year-old son wearing a small bellyband, sucking on a pacifier, wobbling onto the stage...

This scene was too incongruous.

Li Xuan felt restless.

This was the most ridiculous quest the System had ever released.

But the reward was too tempting.

Hanging brightly before his eyes, it was impossible to ignore.

"This System really knows how to scheme."

Li Xuan cursed in his heart.

Knowing clearly that his weakness was his children.

It still deliberately released this kind of quest.

The reward was directly linked to his Dao path.

This was a naked, overt scheme.

Go, or not go?

That was the question.

Go, the children were too young, and if any accident happened, he would be heartbroken to death.

Not go, and miss the opportunity to Prove the Dao as a Great Emperor just like that?

He was unwilling.

He fell into a dilemma.

His Divine Thought drifted toward the inner palace.

In his Divine Thought.

His eldest son, Li Changsheng, was holding the palm-sized ziyang divine tower.

Smashing nuts with it.

The tower body fell, and space distorted.

The nut only cracked open a seam.

His second daughter, Li Qingyue, was sitting by the pond in a daze.

By her feet, the carp that had been nourished by her had already grown four Dragon claws.

It was blowing bubbles in the water, fawningly rubbing against her feet.

Li Yuanbao in the cradle burped.

Spitting out a mouthful of saliva shimmering with precious light.

Carrying Innate Geng Metal Qi.

Looking at these three "harmless" little ones, Li Xuan smiled.

Perhaps...

Letting these little ones go out early to see the world wasn't a bad thing.

After all, their father was a Chaos Body at the Peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Saint Realm.

In this small pond called the Eastern Wasteland, could they really turn the world upside down?

He already had a plan in mind.
