263: The flawed jade is the king (Part Two)
The end of the Fading Small World did not come with the mourning of the collapse of the myriad Daos as predicted in ancient texts; instead, it welcomed a new life amidst a strange silence.
After the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth had withered to the extreme, it began to recover in a slow yet firm manner.
Those once-dried Spiritual Veins, like Dragons that had slumbered for ages, slowly stretched their bodies.
Some Heaven And Earth Treasures, which had long become legends in the records, began to quietly sprout in certain corners of the Five Domains.
A Golden Great Age where Prodigies rise together and myriad Daos compete thus began... countless years have passed.
Eastern Domain, Yu Family.
This is an ancient Family that has passed down its Legacy for several eras, with several Venerables presiding over it. Although not an immortal Saint race, it is a hegemon of the Eastern Domain.
Within the Yu Family, it is divided into the Main Lineage and three major Branch Lineages.
Between the main and Branch Lineages, there is both cooperation and fierce competition for resources and the right to speak.
Every thousand years, the Supreme power of the Family rotates once.
On this day, the Qingmu Lineage, one of the three major Branch Lineages of the Yu Family, welcomed the birth of a baby boy.
At the very moment the baby boy's cry rang out, a sudden change occurred.
Above the million-mile territory where the Yu Family was located, three thousand miles of vast purple Qi emerged without warning.
That purple Qi was so dense it turned into substance, like a celestial river hanging upside down, and auspicious Qi permeated the air.
On the earth, golden lotuses emerged out of thin air from the Void Realm, and the sound of the Dao's harmony resounded throughout the universe.
Countless Cultivators in seclusion were startled awake, and some Bottlenecks that had troubled them for years were suddenly cleared within this sound of the Dao.
"Auspicious signs from heaven! This is the bearing of a Saint!"
"Our Eastern Domain is about to produce an extraordinary figure!"
The eyes of the entire Eastern Domain were drawn here.
Powerhouses from countless top-tier forces extended their Divine Thoughts, wanting to catch a glimpse of the truth.
However, at the moment their Divine Thoughts were about to lock onto the Yu Family, the sky-filling phenomena receded quickly like a tide, vanishing without a trace.
Within the Forbidden Ground of the Qingmu Lineage of the Yu Family.
An old man with white hair and beard and a profound aura slowly withdrew his wrinkled palm, his face filled with shock and wild joy.
He was the pillar of the Qingmu Lineage, that genuine Venerable Old Ancestor.
"Such a strong phenomenon... If I hadn't suppressed it with all my might, I'm afraid even those old monsters in the Central State would have been disturbed."
With a flicker of his body, he instantly appeared inside the sleeping hall where the infant was born.
His gaze fell directly upon the baby boy in the swaddling clothes, who was neither crying nor making a fuss, but was looking at the world with curiosity through a pair of clear black-and-white eyes.
The Old Ancestor extended a withered finger and carefully tapped the baby boy's forehead.
A gentle wave of Venerable power flowed in.
In the next moment, the Old Ancestor's body shook violently, and a sharp light burst from his eyes.
"This... this is..."
Under the probe of his Divine Thought, he clearly saw that within this infant's chest, there was a crystal-clear bone that seemed to be condensed from the Laws of the Dao.
Upon that bone, Dao patterns were naturally formed, pulsing slightly with the infant's breathing and emitting a Supreme aura.
A Born Supreme Bone!
In legend, only those with great Luck can nurture this ultimate Foundation within Chaos.
One who possesses this bone, if they can grow up smoothly, can cultivate the "Supreme Body" that surpasses the Saint Body in the future, and is known as a Born Supreme!
The Old Ancestor trembled with excitement; he seemed to already see the Qingmu Lineage, and even the entire Yu Family, ruling over the Five Domains because of this child.
Just then, the door to the sleeping hall was pushed open, and a burly middle-aged man with an aura already reaching the God King realm walked in quickly; he was the infant's father.
Looking at the Old Ancestor's excited expression, his face was full of confusion and anticipation.
The Old Ancestor took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the wild joy in his heart.
He set up several soundproofing Restrictions before using Divine Thought transmission to inform his son of this shocking secret.
"Father! Is this true?!"
The middle-aged man in the God King realm, who was Yu Yun's father, had a voice filled with unbelievable ecstasy.
He tremblingly took his child from the Old Ancestor's hands, looking at those pure and flawless eyes in the swaddling clothes; this normally majestic God King couldn't help but have his eyes redden.
"Good! Good! Good!"
He said the word "good" three times, his tone filled with the pride and self-satisfaction of a father.
"My son is a Born Supreme; he shall have a world-shaking name!"
He pondered for a moment, looking out the window at the auspicious purple clouds that had just dispersed, and said heroically.
"I hope he can soar high in the future, like a Dragon in the clouds, looking down upon all living beings. Let him be called... Yu Yun!"
"Yu Yun."
The Old Ancestor stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes full of approval. "The cloud follows the Dragon, the wind follows the tiger. This name is excellent, carrying the expectations of our two generations."
However, after the joy, the Old Ancestor's tone became extremely solemn again.
"But precisely because of this, this matter must never be leaked. Otherwise, what awaits Yun'er and our lineage will be a catastrophic disaster."
The God King father naturally understood this reasoning.
He reined in his excitement, and his expression became serious:
"Father is right, I understand. Then... what should we do now?"
The Old Ancestor pondered for a moment, a flash of determination in his eyes.
"The growth of the Supreme Bone requires a massive amount of heaven and earth essence. At the beginning of this Golden Great Age, we must lay the most solid Foundation for him."
"You and I, father and son, shall go personally."
"To find a drop of Divine Beast Precious Blood for Yun'er, to help him nurture the divinity within the bone!"
...Meanwhile, the Yu Family Main Lineage.
At the Peak of a mountain where the Spiritual Qi was most dense, inside a palace.
A young man dressed in gold-threaded luxurious robes, with a handsome face and a natural vertical slit on his forehead, suddenly opened his eyes.
He was the most dazzling Genius of the Yu Family's current generation, known as the "Little Saint of the Yu Family," Yu Tianheng.
Born with Saint Eyes, he could see through delusions and perceive the Origin.
Just now, his Saint Eye throbbed violently without warning, actually capturing a trace of the Dao's harmony that had been forcibly suppressed.
"Such a strong dao rhyme fluctuation... it came from the Qingmu Lineage's side."
"Could it be that another extraordinary treasure has appeared?"
In Yu Tianheng's eyes, a flash of greed and ambition appeared that was inconsistent with his title of "Little Saint."
He activated the Saint Eye on his forehead.
A faint golden divine light shot out, ignoring the many Restrictions of the Qingmu Lineage and piercing straight through, landing inside that sleeping hall.
His "vision" saw the infant in the swaddling clothes.
He also saw the Supreme Bone, wrapped in flesh and blood yet still emitting a Supreme aura.
Boom!
His breathing quickened, his heart raced, and the shock on his face quickly turned into wild joy and jealousy.
"Born Supreme Bone!"
"Hahaha! Heaven is truly helping me!"
No one knew that what this so-called "Little Saint" secretly practiced was an ancient Demonic Technique that had long been listed as forbidden.
The "Heaven-Devouring Demonic Technique."
"If I can seize this bone and combine it with my Saint Eye..."
"In this Golden Great Age, who else can compete with me!"
"The other Heaven-Devouring Successors are nothing but chickens and dogs before me!"
In Yu Tianheng's eyes, killing intent was fully revealed.
To him, the newly born infant was no longer a blood relative of the same clan.
But a potent medicine, a stepping stone to the Peak.
He suppressed the killing intent in his heart and activated the Saint Eye to peer again.
He happened to see the Venerable Old Ancestor of the Qingmu Lineage and that God King quietly leaving the Family, heading toward the Eastern Desolation Forbidden Land.
"Even heaven is helping me."
A cold smile curled on the corner of Yu Tianheng's mouth.
The Venerable has left, and the God King is not present.
A newly born infant with no power to resist.
A peerless Supreme Bone waiting to be harvested.
A conspiracy began to brew.
