Chapter 140: Chapter 140
[Ding! Invest in the Net Lotus Demon Flame to obtain reward: Golden Crow True Flame]
[Ding!! Invest in the Great Burial Heavenly Fire to obtain reward: Ancient Divine Beast — Holy Qilin]
[Ding!! After family member’s destiny is elevated, reward obtained: World Seed.]
Soon after, Su Zhou spoke softly.
“This battle, Su Yan contributed the most. You carry the Burning Art, and your body harmonizes with Heavenly Fires.”
“As such, these two things will belong to you…”
As Su Zhou spoke, his fingertip flickered, and a wisp of milky-white flame swayed into existence. The flame turned gently, appearing quite adorable.
“Saint-rank Heavenly Fire!! The Pure Lotus Demon Flame!!”
“Little brother, if you obtain this flame, the Burning Art can step into the Saint rank!!” Yao Chen’s spirit cried out in excitement.
This Pure Lotus Demon Flame had long since been obtained by Su Zhou.
It had been gathering dust in the corner of the system’s inventory.
Only when the system gave him a prompt today did he recall it.
Then, Su Zhou raised one hand. In an instant, within the void, a hidden wisp of black flame was forcibly pulled out.
It was precisely the Great Burial Heaven Flame. This flame had developed its own intelligence, and the moment Su Zhou descended, it sensed danger and hid itself in the void.
Unexpectedly, it was still seized by Su Zhou.
“I am willing…” it had just tried to express submission.
But Su Zhou gave it no chance. His palm fell, directly erasing its spiritual intelligence.
Only in the future, once Su Yan refined it, would new intelligence arise that harmonized with him, to assist him in battle.
Staring at the two Saint-rank Heavenly Fires before him, Su Yan felt his throat go dry.
What had he been doing these past few years outside!! Being hunted, poisoned, refining pills, owing debts of romance, exhausting himself to the bone just to obtain one Heaven-rank flame and three Earth-rank ones.
And now, his family leader casually handed over Saint-rank ones.
Damn it, no wonder disciples from great family s always carried such superiority!
The feeling of not needing to struggle… really is so damn satisfying!!
Damn!! The great family turned out to be my own family!!
Su Yan respectfully accepted the two Heavenly Fires.
What he needed to do now was raise his strength as quickly as possible to give back to the family !
“Many thanks to the family leader for such great grace!!”
To everyone else, Su Zhou’s arrangement felt perfectly natural. On the surface, it looked like Su Yan had not done much in this battle.
But in truth, he had been constantly restraining and weakening Wang Tianfang’s Heavenly Fire, enabling such an effective result.
[Ding!! Congratulations, host, for successfully helping a family sman improve his aptitude!]
After Su Yan received the two Saint-rank Heavenly Fires, his destiny aptitude began to fluctuate.
The originally dazzling golden light actually started transforming toward red.
Although the process was very slow, one day it would surely succeed.
All of this was due to the two Saint-rank Heavenly Fires Su Zhou had granted.
[Ding!! Congratulations, host, on successful investment. Reward gained: Golden Crow True Flame]
[Golden Crow True Flame: The life flame of the Great Sun Golden Crow, can be cultivated in the dantian, constantly purifying and tempering true essence, causing the true essence to carry the might of the Great Sun!]
Su Zhou chose to use it, and the next instant, within his dantian, a wisp of golden flame rose…
Within that flame, a three-legged divine beast appeared faintly. Wherever the true essence flowed, it would be dyed with a layer of gilded brilliance by this true flame.
[Ding!! Congratulations, host, on successful investment. Reward gained: Ancient Divine Beast—Holy Qilin!]
[Holy Qilin: “When a sage appears, a Qilin manifests.” The Holy Qilin is the most holy and rare existence of the Qilin race, possessing immense combat power and great fortune!]
[Ding!! Congratulations, host, for successfully improving a family sman’s aptitude. Reward gained: World Seed!]
[World Seed: A seed from the legendary Creation God Tree. When combined with the Void Ancient Tree, it can open up a small world, within which the overall spiritual energy rises by one rank!!]
Su Zhou’s eyes flashed as he read the description of the World Seed.
“World Seed… Void Ancient Tree…”
The Su family had long possessed the Void Ancient Tree, and now with the World Seed, it seemed the family territory could be elevated once again.
From a blessed cave paradise, it could ascend directly into a small world. Its interior would surely become even more wondrous, providing far greater aid to the growth of family members.
“The rest of the matters, you all may arrange as you see fit…”
Thinking of this, Su Zhou intended to return to the Lingxiao Blessed Land and merge the World Seed with the Void Ancient Tree.
The Wang family , which suppressed two great regions, was extremely wealthy. They even possessed countless spiritual veins and spiritual mines. Organizing all those resources was a vast and cumbersome task.
Such trivial matters required no attention from Su Zhou.
In the distance, Su Chao came flying cheerfully, followed by a group of council members.
The resources from the two Tianhuo Domains were simply too immense; they needed to be carefully divided!
Though the Great Qin was indeed the descendant state of the Su family … the family land still required resources to nurture the juniors…
A ninety-to-one split wasn’t bad… The Su family nine, Great Qin one!
Su Zhou had no interest in these petty affairs. With a thought, from the distant horizon rose auspicious radiance, blossoms falling from the sky, waves of mysterious yellow clouds fluttering like butterflies.
A divine and extraordinary beast stepped upon those auspicious clouds, letting out a cry toward Su Zhou.
The sound was like dragon yet not dragon, like horse yet not horse.
Its body resembled a horse, its head resembled a dragon, clad in scales, hooves trampling holy light, this was the ancient divine beast, the Holy Qilin.
In the ancient times, it was said that the Qilin family suppressed the entire land, and all beasts regarded the Qilin as their sovereign!
“Heavens!! A Holy Beast Qilin! Just what kind of means does the family leader possess!!”
“Holy Qilin!! When a Qilin emerges, a sage appears. In this world, only such a divine beast is worthy of the family leader!!”
One by one, the geniuses of the Su family saw this and their pupils contracted.
The aura from the Qilin was like an abyss, like a prison, utterly terrifying, vastly stronger than themselves.
The thought that even their cultivation was inferior to their family leader’s mount made them swear inwardly to grow stronger as quickly as possible!
[Realm: Sun-Veiling Great Perfection]
[The most cherished divine beast of the Qilin race, bearing within it a trace of the Ancestor Qilin’s bloodline!]
Seeing the Holy Qilin’s divine form, Su Zhou was quite satisfied. He casually stroked its head.
The Holy Qilin let out a rumbling sound, almost like a giant cat, rubbing its head against Su Zhou’s hand.
Mighty in strength, noble in bloodline, and splendid in appearance—such a mount was rare to find even across the myriad heavens.
“Family Leader Su, please stay!”
Just as Su Zhou sat upon the Holy Qilin, a melodious voice rang out.
There stood a woman in Daoist robes, incomparably beautiful. She came hurrying forward.
This woman’s figure was exceedingly voluptuous—even the wide Daoist robe could not hide her waves of curves. Her fair skin was like creamy jade, her flowing black hair danced in the wind, her beauty dazzling beyond compare.
Even the cold-natured Su Nan could not help but glance sideways at her.
However, Su Zhou’s gaze held little emotion.
“Hiss!! A Holy Beast Qilin!!” The newcomer, upon seeing Su Zhou’s mount, couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath, causing quite a stir.
Within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the proudest and mightiest divine beasts were the seven great beast families.
Among them, the Qilin stood as the most noble, and the Holy Qilin was the emperor among Qilin.
For it to willingly serve as this man’s mount showed just how powerful the Su family leader truly was.
Su Zhou cast a questioning glance at the Daoist woman.
She hurriedly spoke: “I am Bai Lu of the Myriad Dao Academy. I humbly ask Family Leader Su to aid me in the Endless Sea against the Supreme Academy!”
“In this battle, the Supreme Academy’s disciple Mo Jian will be going!!”
Mo Jian—he bore the Supreme Bone and twin pupils, two invincible anomalies. But everyone knew that the bone had been stolen.
Because of that bone, the entire Mo family had been buried with him.
The identity of the bone’s original owner was unknown, but with the sudden rise of the Su family, the truth was self-evident.
“The Endless Sea, huh…” Su Zhou’s voice grew low.
Earlier, from the Wang family ancestor, he had obtained a map recording the inheritance site of a divine path powerhouse.
That map pointed exactly to the Endless Sea.
He had already intended to make the journey.
But now, this woman wanted to borrow his strength—that was not something to be agreed to lightly.
“Why should I help you?”
“I… I can bear you children!!”
