110: Chapter 110 Purple Qi Comes from the East, Spiritual Rain Falls Sweetly, All Beasts Pay Homage, and Spiritual Qi Surges Back!

Dark, warm, and viscous.

When Su Yu's consciousness drifted up from that endless void, he was greeted by a sense of peace, gently enveloped in amniotic fluid.

Su Yu perceived his surroundings with absolute calm.

He was in his mother's womb.

The fifth Reincarnation had already begun.

Having lived four lives, he was already well-accustomed to this unformed fetal body, without a single trace of the panic typical of a first-time embryo.

He was in no rush to investigate the outside world; instead, he first sank a thread of his weak mind into the surrounding world.

Clean.

Too clean.

The Spiritual Qi of this world was pure and gentle, like newly melted snow in a mountain stream, seeping through his mother's body in threads to nourish his limbs and bones.

This was a normal, unpolluted cultivation world!

The heavy stone in Su Yu's heart finally fell to the ground.

The absolute death zone of his fourth life, which had been completely altered by Devilish Qi to the point where even breathing was slow suicide, had left too deep a shadow on him.

Returning to a normal world so rich in Spiritual Qi now made his newborn body experience a wave of greedy, comfortable pleasure.

However, amidst the comfort...

Su Yu also keenly noticed that his body's speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was touchingly slow.

When the pure Spiritual Qi rushed to the openings of his Meridians, it seemed to hit an invisible, sluggish barrier, taking ages to seep in even a tiny sliver.

Ninth-Grade Poor Talent.

Anyone else would probably wail about the unfairness of fate, but Su Yu only chuckled in his heart.

"No matter."

It was just a Ninth-Grade Poor Talent.

Once he left his mother's womb and adapted to this Physical Body, he would activate the "Creation Melting Furnace Art" and the "Heaven-Swallowing Yuan-Transformation Technique".

Using the body as a furnace, swallowing the heavens and refining essence.

This broken Ninth-Grade Spiritual Root would sooner or later be refined by him, grade by grade, with his own hands.

For others, their innate bone structure determined their entire life.

But for Su Yu, his bone structure was for him to decide.

...

He had no idea how long he slept in that warm amniotic fluid.

One day, a violent and rhythmic squeezing sensation woke Su Yu from his chaotic slumber.

He was about to be born.

"Madam, push! It's almost out!"

Through a layer of flesh, the midwife's anxious shouts and the maidservants' chaotic footsteps from the outside could already be faintly heard.

With a clear mind, Su Yu cooperated perfectly, adjusting his posture along with the pressure of the birth canal without any struggle.

After a short while.

As his body suddenly felt light, a cool breeze brushed across his mucus-covered skin.

"Wah—"

Without waiting for the midwife to pat him, Su Yu very sensibly took the initiative to open his mouth and let out his first cry in this life.

The sound was crisp and loud, full of vigor.

"He's born! It's a little Young Master!"

Amidst the midwife's relieved and pleasant surprise, he was wrapped up tightly.

Su Yu slightly opened his still blurry eyes, adapting to the light in the room.

Using the meager vision of a newborn, he took a general look around.

This was a reasonably elegant wing room; while the furnishings weren't luxurious, they still showed the orderliness of a Cultivator Family.

Soon, he was held in the arms of a pale-faced woman who had just given birth.

This was his mother in this life.

A young woman with delicate features and a gentle temperament.

Su Yu quietly probed his mother's cultivation level...

Third level of Qi Refining.

Su Yu's heart stirred slightly.

A woman who could Cultivate to the third level of Qi Refining shouldn't have too low a status in an ordinary cultivation Family.

Yet the fabric of her robe was clearly quite old, and one could even see a few carefully mended spots at the cuffs.

Coupled with this not-so-spacious, simply furnished wing room...

Everything pointed to...

The embarrassment of a declining Family.

Just as Su Yu was secretly observing, a set of footsteps came from outside the door.

A grey-haired old man, dressed just as simply, walked in.

Looking at the baby in swaddling clothes, his wrinkled face squeezed out a trace of a tired smile.

"It's a boy, good, very good..."

In the old man's voice, there was relief, but also a trace of lingering sorrow.

"Our branch has finally added another male."

"It's just a pity for this child, being born into our Su Family's current state..."

Su Family.

Hearing these two words, Su Yu's mind in the swaddling clothes shook violently.

Forcing down the surging waves in his heart, he pricked up his ears and listened to his grandfather's subsequent muttering, not missing a single word.

And as those fragments of words were pieced together...

A picture, both familiar and incredibly foreign, slowly unfolded in Su Yu's mind.

Qianlong Su Family.

As expected...

It was still here.

But what truly made Su Yu's heart sink was...

The Qianlong Su Family at this time was no longer the peak version in his memory that dominated the Tianyun Market.

And more than three thousand years had actually passed since the "fall" of his Golden Core Old Ancestor self in his third life.

Three thousand years.

For the cultivation world, it was enough for oceans to turn into mulberry fields.

Back then, with his Golden Core might, he had laid down several centuries of peaceful foundation for the Family.

But once the Golden Core Old Ancestor departed, the Family completely lost its strongest stabilizing pillar.

Yet relying on the strict rules and foundation he had set before his death...

The Qianlong Su Family still peacefully prospered and passed down its Legacy on this land for a thousand years.

And the final straw that truly crushed the Qianlong Su Family...

Was the destruction of the Cangxuan Sect a thousand years ago.

Su Yu's heart sank.

Cangxuan Sect.

That great Nascent Soul sect which he had once joined in his third life, ruling over the State of Yue and the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles.

In some catastrophe from who knows how many years ago, it had actually collapsed with a crash and vanished into thin air.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

Without the suppression and protection of the towering tree that was the Cangxuan Sect...

The order of the cultivation world in the State of Yue and its surroundings collapsed instantly. Demons danced in Chaos, and various new and old forces sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain, fighting and reshuffling.

And an old-brand Family like the Qianlong Su Family, which relied on the shade of its ancestors to pass down its Legacy for thousands of years while its foundation was gradually worn away by time...

Naturally became meat on the chopping block.

In just over a century, they were completely devoured inch by inch by the newly rising wolf-like forces around them.

The Tianyun Market, which once belonged exclusively to the Qianlong Su Family, had long since changed hands.

The dignified Qianlong Su Family was expelled and suppressed all the way.

From a behemoth that dominated the region, they had been forced down to a second- or third-rate minor Family that could only huddle in a remote small city, barely getting by.

And the branch he was born into was the most inconspicuous collateral branch among them.

Listening to the bitter tears and hardships of the Family from his grandfather's mouth...

Su Yu in his swaddling clothes found it both amusing and heartbreaking for a moment.

What was amusing was that after going around in circles for five lives, his thread of True Spirit had actually reincarnated back into the Su Family he had built with his own hands.

What was heartbreaking was that the massive foundation he had poured his heart and soul into building back then had lasted three thousand years, only to end up in such a miserable state by this generation.

"Forget it."

Su Yu sighed helplessly in his heart, then smiled with relief.

The rise and fall of a Family is a common occurrence in the world.

Without a Golden Core to oversee things, the Family could still rely on the strict rules he left behind to hold on for over two thousand years, only declining when the outside world underwent a massive reshuffle. These descendants had already done exceptionally well.

Thinking of this, a strange sense of astonishment suddenly rose in Su Yu's heart.

"Wait..."

"Before I died in my third life, to pave the way for my fourth life, I split the top-tier Cultivation Techniques, supreme-grade Magic Treasures, and Spirit Stones I had plundered throughout my life into dozens of portions and hid them tightly in various blind spots and corners of this world!"

Su Yu let out a sigh of wry amusement in his heart.

Back then, he had gone to great lengths to set up multiple Bloodline verifications and Restrictions, thinking he could dig them up and squander them as soon as he was born in his fourth life.

Who would have thought that fate would play tricks on him.

Now, after going around in circles, he had reached his fifth life, and time had actually leaped by three thousand years!

"Three thousand years of change... those treasures hidden under dry wells, abandoned mines, and stone bridges back then have probably long been eroded by time, or picked up by some passing Immortal, right?"

Su Yu shook his head helplessly, feeling a sense of absurdity in his heart at how unpredictable the world could be.

He had painstakingly saved his progress, only to fail to load it in the next life.

However, what he didn't know was...

In fact, during these long three thousand years, those "blind spot treasuries" he had hidden extremely deeply and protected with the Su Family's Bloodline verification had not been completely destroyed.

Whenever the Qianlong Su Family faced a devastating disaster and was forced to flee and migrate, there would always be a few desperate descendants who, by an extremely lucky coincidence, triggered those Bloodline Restrictions.

And it was precisely by relying on these gifts he had buried back then...

That the Su Family could survive like a centipede that dies but never falls down in the chaotic reshuffling after losing their Golden Core and facing the destruction of the Cangxuan Sect, stubbornly keeping their incense burning to this day.

Of course, the currently swaddled Su Yu naturally had no idea about this loop of Karma that spanned three thousand years.

He quickly pulled back his trace of regret and stopped dwelling on those past items.

"Out with the old, in with the new."

What's more...

A brilliant glint flashed in the depths of Su Yu's eyes.

In this life, he was a Child of Luck carrying 5,036 points of Fortune and blessed personally by the Heavenly Dao!

Let alone a second- or third-rate Su Family that had fallen into the dust.

Even if the heavens gave him a start as a dirt-poor mortal beggar, he could still stir up a whole new world!

Revitalizing a mere declining Family and restoring its former glory...

Was nothing more than an effortless task for him now.

Just as Su Yu's thoughts were racing...

A sudden change descended abruptly without any warning!

"Buzz—!!!"

Outside the wing room, a roar that seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens suddenly resounded in the originally quiet night sky.

"Look! In the east! What is that?!"

"Pur... Purple Qi! The sky is filled with Purple Qi!"

Shouts of absolute terror and shock exploded from all over the Su Family.

A vast expanse of Purple Qi stretched for thirty thousand miles, covering the sky like a canopy and lighting up the entire small city as bright as day.

Immediately after, sweet dew fell from the heavens.

Raindrops containing pure Spiritual Qi fell in drizzles, causing withered trees within a hundred-mile radius to bloom in spring, and a hundred flowers to blossom together.

In the mountains outside the city, countless birds and beasts soared into the sky, prostrating themselves and crying out in the direction of the Su Family's courtyard—all beasts paying homage!

The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was like an inverted funnel, frantically pouring into this cramped wing room where Su Yu was located!

Purple Qi from the East, Spiritual Rain and Sweet Dew, All Beasts Paying Homage, Spiritual Qi Reversing Flow!

Four great auspicious signs, all gathered in one body!

This was...

This was the supreme vision that could only be triggered by the birth of an unparalleled Child of Luck, rarely seen in ten thousand ages!

Inside the wing room, his grandfather and mother had completely frozen in place, shaking like chaff from the shock of this miracle-like vision.

"Tsk..."

"These five thousand plus points of Fortune are trying to screw me over, aren't they?!"

Su Yu let out an extremely speechless sigh in his heart. Instead of feeling the slightest bit proud, a strong sense of vigilance and helplessness rose within him.

Having lived four lives over a thousand years, he knew the cruel Laws of the cultivation world all too well.

A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be destroyed by the wind!

If he had been born into a great Nascent Soul sect like the Cangxuan Sect, or a Golden Core Family at its peak, such a shocking vision would naturally be a great auspicious sign.

But the problem was that his start in this life was in a declining collateral branch that might not even be able to produce a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

A low-level Family that didn't even have the ability to protect itself suddenly held an unpolished jade of heaven-defying quality that could trigger the Heavenly Dao and attract all beasts to pay homage.

How was this some grand display?

This was clearly an incredibly glaring death warrant that would bring about their destruction!

Sure enough, the members of the Su Family who rushed over after hearing the news outside the wing room...

After their initial shock, what appeared on their faces was not at all the ecstasy of having found an unparalleled Genius.

But rather...

An unconcealable fear!

"Ancestors protect us... something major is about to happen!"

"Such an earth-shattering vision... within a thousand-mile radius, countless eyes must have seen it!"

"Our Su Family... our Su Family has so little foundation left, yet we hold such a heaven-defying piece of unpolished jade. This... this is going to bring about a devastating disaster!"

A man's wealth is his ruin.

Despair and panic instantly overwhelmed this fragile Family.

Once the wolf-like cultivation families and old monsters of evil cultivation in the surrounding areas saw this vision...

They would absolutely pounce like sharks smelling blood, tearing the Su Family apart until not even dregs remained!

"Isn't this Fortune a bit too fierce?"

Su Yu lay quietly in his mother's trembling embrace, but he did not panic.

Since it was a start with Fortune as high as the heavens...

Who was to say that behind this sky-high disaster wasn't an even greater creation?

He would just take things as they came.

Su Yu had absolute confidence in the weight of his five thousand points of Fortune!
