7: Chapter 7 Auspicious Omens Descend from Heaven, Dragon and Phoenix Sing in Harmony!

Sunlight pierced through the window lattice and fell onto the floor of Dragon Imperial Hall.

Li Xuan opened his eyes.

The world was different now.

Innate True Qi surged through his Meridians.

With every cycle, his power surged explosively.

He lowered his head to look at his hands.

His fingers were slender, his skin fair.

He clenched his fist tightly.

It actually produced a sharp crack out of thin air.

Peak of the Innate Realm.

Overnight, he had gone from a Mortal to standing at the pinnacle of Mortal martial arts.

This power was truly addictive.

He looked to his side.

Consort Xiao Yu was still asleep.

Perhaps she was exhausted from three years of torment, for she slept very deeply.

On her pale, beautiful face, the sorrow and numbness were gone, replaced by a touch of serenity and a rosy glow.

Her long eyelashes lay quietly against her cheeks.

There was even a faint smile on the corners of her lips.

The Death Qi and resentment between her brows had completely dissipated.

Replacing them was a luster of new life.

The dust-covered Phoenix was about to spread its wings once again.

Li Xuan felt a warmth in his heart and a surge of responsibility.

He reached out, wanting to brush a strand of hair from her cheek.

His fingertips were about to touch her.

"Ding!"

A cheerful voice rang out in his mind.

"Detected that the host's Dragon Qi and the consort's Phoenix fate have perfectly merged; the Seed of Destiny has been successfully sown!"

"The hall of offspring function has been updated!"

Li Xuan's consciousness sank into the System space.

In the "hall of offspring," the Phoenix jade pillar representing Consort Xiao Yu shone with brilliant golden light.

At the top of the jade pillar, the illusory ball of light solidified.

It turned into a thumb-sized embryo of light, beating like a heart.

Around the embryo, the phantoms of a Dragon and a Phoenix were circling.

"Offspring gestation status: Started!"

"Offspring talent potential: Detecting... The detection process may trigger natural phenomena; please remain calm, Host."

Li Xuan was speechless.

"Your detection process makes quite a commotion, doesn't it?"

Before he could even complain.

The next second.

The entire Imperial Palace, the entire Capital of Great Xia, saw the wind and clouds suddenly change!

"Roar——!"

"Chirp——!"

A Dragon's roar and a Phoenix's cry resounded through the heavens.

This sound did not travel through the air but exploded directly within the Soul of every living being.

Countless commoners in the Capital of Great Xia woke from their dreams in shock and rushed out of their homes in bewilderment.

Then, they saw a miraculous sight.

Above the Imperial Palace, at some unknown moment, golden clouds had gathered.

The clouds rolled.

A thousand-foot golden Dragon poked its head out.

Beside it, a gigantic Phoenix circled and danced, its wings shimmering with radiant light.

Dragon and Phoenix sang in harmony.

Auspicious signs filled the sky.

The people had not yet recovered from the shock.

On the eastern horizon, a majestic purple cloud Qi rolled in from the east.

Purple Qi came from the east for thirty miles.

Wherever the purple Qi passed, all things revived, and withered trees sprouted new life.

Some elderly people in the city suffering from chronic illnesses felt a warm sensation all over their bodies when touched by the purple Qi.

The pain that had tormented them for years vanished instantly.

The entire Capital of Great Xia was instantly in an uproar.

"Auspicious signs from heaven! It is an auspicious sign from heaven!"

"Dragon and Phoenix singing in harmony! Purple Qi coming from the east! Our Great Xia is about to flourish!"

Countless commoners wept with excitement, kneeling in the direction of the Imperial Palace and shouting long live the Emperor.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Li Zhan was preparing to attend court and was stunned by the scene outside the window.

The jade cup in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter."

He stumbled out of the hall, staring at the celestial phenomenon in the sky.

That heavenly might caused his imperial Bloodline to resonate.

He was trembling all over, not from fear.

But from excitement.

"Imperial Grandfather..."

Li Zhan's eyes could not help but grow hot.

All of this was definitely the work of that mysterious Imperial Grandfather.

With such an Immortal figure presiding, why would Great Xia not flourish? What did Wei Yong amount to?

His heart, which had been somewhat anxious after the killings yesterday, was now filled with confidence and assurance.

Compared to the joy and celebration in the Imperial Palace, the Prime Ministers Estate was shrouded in gloom.

Wei Yong stood in the courtyard, staring gloomily at the sky.

His cloudy old eyes stared fixedly at the celestial phenomenon, revealing fear for the first time.

Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong!

He had just been humiliated by Li Zhan yesterday, and today the royal family produced auspicious signs to win over the hearts of the people?

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

He suddenly thought of something.

The woman sent to Dragon Imperial Hall last night.

"Consort Xiao Yu... is she the variable brought by that bewitching consort?!"

A daughter of a disgraced official, a stray dog in his eyes, could she really turn things around?

For the first time, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

He felt that something was beginning to slip out of his control.

Li Xuan, as the center of the storm, was very calm.

He even had the leisure to critique the Dragon and Phoenix phantoms in the sky.

"Tsk tsk, these special effects are worth at least five hundred yuan."

The System's notification sounded again, its voice filled with excitement.

"Ding! The talent potential detection for the first offspring is complete!"

"Congratulations, Host! Your first offspring possesses one of the most powerful Physiques in eternity—the Supreme Sword Body!"

"Supreme Sword Body (Potential of a Great Emperor): Conceived from the Origin of the Dao of the Sword, with natural Sword Bones, Sword Qi for Body Tempering, and ten thousand swords bowing in submission! A single sword strike can sever mountains and rivers, a single thought can command ten thousand soldiers! Those with this Physique have extraordinary insights into the Dao of the Sword; as long as the Sword Heart remains unbroken, they will surely ascend to the pinnacle of Sword Sovereigns, achieve the fruit of a Great Emperor, and sweep across the Nine Heavens!"

Boom!

Li Xuan's brain buzzed.

Supreme Sword Body?

Destined to prove the Dao and become a Great Emperor?!

Holy crap!

I hit the jackpot on my first try; did I just pull a hidden limited SSR at the start?!

His heart beat like a drum.

The System's voice sounded again.

"Because the offspring's potential has broken the System's rating limit, a hidden critical reward has been triggered!"

"Reward 1: The host's cultivation will be instantly empowered, breaking the limits of a Mortal and entering the transcendent realm—the first level of the Divine Treasury Realm!"

"Reward 2: The host obtains the supreme Divine Ability—Emperors Qi Observation Technique!"

As soon as the voice finished speaking.

A golden torrent, a hundred times more vast than before, descended from the sky and poured into Li Xuan's Baihui acupoint.

Crack!

The barrier of the Peak of the Innate Realm inside him shattered at the sound.

Boundless energy washed over his Physical Body and Divine Soul.

His life level was forcibly elevated to a whole new Domain.

Within the human body, there are infinite Divine Treasuries.

To obtain the great power of Divine Abilities, one must open these treasuries.

Inside Li Xuan, the first Divine Treasury, the "Heart Divine Treasury," was instantly lit up.

Rumble!

Li Xuan's world suddenly opened up.

His five senses and six consciousnesses were amplified infinitely.

Within a radius of several miles, the rustling of the wind and grass, and the flapping of mosquito wings, were all clearly audible.

Wherever his Divine Thought covered, everything was clearly presented in his mind.

This was... the power of the transcendent.

Li Xuan opened his eyes, feeling the surging magical power within his body.

He felt an unprecedented sense of control.

He activated the Divine Ability he had just obtained.

Emperors Qi Observation Technique.

Instantly, the world in his eyes changed completely.

All things and beings were shrouded in a layer of faint Qi.

The Qi of plants and trees, the Qi of living beings, and the Dragon Qi that had accumulated in the Imperial Palace buildings for a hundred years.

Multicolored light threads wove into a magnificent tapestry.

He looked out the window.

In the direction of the Prime Ministers Estate, a thick, black-purple Luck shot up into the sky.

Within the Luck, a gigantic scorpion shadow writhed, appearing ferocious.

"So this is Wei Yong's Luck, the scorpion nature, strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

Li Xuan sneered.

He withdrew his gaze and looked down at Consort Xiao Yu.

Her whole body was wrapped in a soft, noble golden Phoenix Qi.

Above the Phoenix Qi, a ray of golden Karma light descended, protecting her Divine Soul.

And in her abdomen.

That "seed" had now turned into a dazzling little golden sun.

Within the little sun, it contained a domineering and ancient, terrifying aura.

Just one glance made him, a cultivator of the Divine Treasury Realm, tremble in his heart.

Truly worthy of being the Ancient Desolate Saint Body.

Li Xuan's eyes were full of smiles.

With this "Emperors Qi Observation Technique," in this Great Xia Divine Dynasty, any conspiracy, any monster or demon, would have nowhere to hide before him.

Loyal subjects, treacherous officials, he would know at a glance.

He gently pulled the brocade quilt and covered Consort Xiao Yu.

"Sleep peacefully, my Empress."

"From now on, in this world, nothing will ever be able to dim your radiance again."
