79: Chapter 79 Target: Immortal Realm!

Great Xia Imperial Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Wah... my clay figurine... you meanie... give me back my clay figurine..."

A little tot, not even as tall as Li Xuan's knees, was death-gripping his thigh, a mess of snot and tears.

His little fleshy hand pointed at his empty palm as large teardrops fell.

Li Xuan looked at this precious son who had just "cleaved the heavens with a single sword" in front of billions, and his head throbbed slightly.

After piercing through a Great Saint formation and the sky itself, the little guy acted like it was nothing.

Yet, because a clay figurine broke, he was crying hard enough to lift the roof.

"Alright, alright, stop crying."

Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, stuffing the championship reward he had snatched back from the Heavenly Pride Battle into Li Changsheng's mouth.

The heavenly mandate dao fruit.

"Here, have a sugar bean. Is it sweet?"

A divine object that even a Saint would fight tooth and nail for was bitten in half by Li Changsheng with a loud "crunch."

The little guy's cheeks were puffed out as he mumbled incoherently.

"Sweet, *hic*, tastes better than candied haws."

As he chewed, his crying stopped instantly.

He even let out a burp that smelled of milk mixed with Dao Rhyme.

At that exact moment, the System's excited voice rang out in Li Xuan's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the Main Quest [My Son Has the Potential of a Great Emperor]! Achieved perfectly in one go. Rating: SSS!]

[Calculating quest rewards...]

[Reward 1: Emperor Realm boundary barrier, completely removed! The Host can trigger the Emperor Tribulation at any time to prove his Dao and become a Great Emperor!]

[Reward 2: Unlocked System Ultimate Function — [all-heavens sign-in map]!]

Rumble!

A mysterious aura crashed down directly from the heavens, locking onto him.

The Laws of the entire Profound Heaven Continent were roaring.

The Three Thousand Great Daos bowed in submission.

Purple Qi rolled across the sky for thirty thousand miles.

Golden lotuses emerged one by one from the Void Realm.

A gate of light, invisible to Mortals, was slowly and steadily swinging open.

The Emperor Gate.

As long as Li Xuan gave the nod, he could immediately face the lightning and ascend to the Emperor's throne.

To become the sole Supreme of this world since time immemorial.

The Emperor Realm, the final destination that Cultivators chase for a lifetime, was now within his reach.

Li Xuan, however, remained unmoved.

He raised an eyebrow.

Feeling the power within his body that was about to burst, he gave a light chuckle, tinged with a hint of disdain.

"You want me to Breakthrough just like this?"

"The Foundation is still a bit hollow."

"For a ninety-nine-story building, the Foundation can still take two more layers of golden slurry."

Li Xuan muttered to himself.

Instead of riding that momentum upward, he willed it so, and his Chaos Body vibrated slightly.

That terrifying aura that was about to overflow was forcibly suppressed by him.

The Emperor Gate that had opened for him let out a reluctant hum before finally fading away.

The celestial phenomena across the world dissipated.

If the Cultivators outside knew that someone had actively refused to prove their Dao as a Great Emperor because their 'Foundation wasn't perfect,' their Dao Hearts would likely shatter on the spot.

"What's the rush? There's more scenery beyond the Great Emperor level."

Li Xuan smiled and focused his attention on the second reward.

"System, open the all-heavens sign-in map."

As he spoke, a screen of light unfolded before him.

On the screen was the dark Universe, filled with countless points of light, each representing a world.

Li Xuan even saw some familiar names.

[Battle Through the Heavens Plane], [Perfect World], [Gate of Eternal Life], [Coiling Dragon Universe]...

They were packed densely, like a server list for an online game.

"Interesting." Li Xuan grew intrigued.

At that moment, the closest and brightest point of light on the map flashed and automatically zoomed in.

[Highlighted Recommended Sign-in Point: Immortal Realm Southern Heaven Gate (Damaged)]

[Sign-in Difficulty: Extremely High]

[Detected that Host's cultivation has reached the Mortal Realm limit. Recommending the start of a new journey.]

[First-time sign-in at this location grants a Newbie Gift Pack: Immortal King Realm Cultivation Experience Card (One-time use, lasts for the duration of one incense stick).]

"Immortal Realm?"

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised.

He had only seen this term in the most ancient books; it was rumored to be a world of a higher dimension.

"Immortal King Experience Card?"

Li Xuan curled his lip.

"That's it? And it's one-time use? System, you're being a bit stingy."

Giving an Immortal King fruit or a few Immortal King artifacts would be more fitting for the words "Ultimate Function."

An experience card was no different from a Dragon Slaying Saber trial voucher in the online games of his past life.

"I know this routine."

Li Xuan saw through the essence of it at a glance.

"First, use an experience card to give you a taste of power. Once you're done and the card is gone, you'll feel empty and be forced to work your tail off to reach that world and start the grind from scratch. Typical pay-to-win bait."

Despite his complaints, he truly felt a spark of interest for the first time.

Having no rivals left in the Mortal Realm was indeed a bit boring.

His children were all monsters.

Their growth speed would only be faster than he imagined.

Li Xuan looked down.

Li Changsheng had already finished eating the heavenly mandate dao fruit cleanly. His little face was flushed, and he was smacking his lips in satisfaction.

Likely having eaten his fill, the little guy opened his mouth.

Burp~

A stream of rainbow-colored Qi puffed out from his mouth, drifting lazily onto a peony in the nearby Imperial Garden.

In the next second, that peony began to grow wildly, sprouting branches, shooting up, blooming, and finally bearing a fruit swirling with Dao Rhyme.

Li Xuan: "..."

A single burp could catalyze a Saint Medicine.

When he grows up a bit more, wouldn't a single breath be able to create a blessed Grotto-Heaven?

His Divine Sense swept through the depths of the inner palace.

Above one palace, Chaos Qi lingered.

Above another, infinite Sword Qi pierced the sky.

There were others overflowing with pill fragrance, densely packed with formation runes, or accompanied by all Laws...

Each palace represented a future Supreme titan.

"One brat can turn the Eastern Wasteland upside down. If I take my entire army of prodigies with me..."

Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

He had a bold idea.

"Once these little guys can all run around, I'll organize a group tour to the Immortal Realm."

"Others are cautious when they undergo Ascension. If I bring this group of little ancestors over, what would that be called? That's called bringing warmth to the Immortal Realm!"

"Immortal Realm Southern Heaven Gate, right? I hope your gate is built sturdy."

Thinking of this, Li Xuan's mood instantly brightened.

Breaking through to the Emperor Realm? No rush.

He was currently at the Peak of the Saint Realm, which was perfect for simulating and analyzing the Heaven-Defying Physiques of his children.

Supreme Sword Body, Ancient Desolate Saint Body, Chaos Immortal Fetus, Array Dao Fetus, Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body...

Once he "borrowed" and used the talents of all his children, what kind of scene would it be when he finally broke through?

The Emperor Tribulation would probably descend and politely ask: 'Are you satisfied with this intensity? Do you need me to go on for longer?'

"It's settled then."

Li Xuan made up his mind and waved his hand to dismiss the light screen.

Life in the Mortal Realm must go on.

The daily routine of a stay-at-home dad must also continue.

Let the Immortal Realm enjoy a bit more peaceful time without being disturbed by brats.

The course for the new journey was set.

But he decided to let the bullet fly for a while longer.
