Chapter 12: Divine Phoenix Myriad Dao Body! Stepping on Top of the Ten Thousand Realms!
[First time activating this function, gain a bonus: Triple Stacking Card]
As this prompt sounded, the surrounding spiritual energy instantly began to riot.
Su Zhou seemed to turn into a vortex, frantically devouring the spiritual energy around him.
His cultivation level also rapidly broke through at this moment.
External Manifestation Realm Stage Two!
External Manifestation Realm Stage Three!
External Manifestation RealmâŠ
In just the span of a few breaths, Su Zhou advanced four cultivation levels in a row, reaching External Manifestation Realm Stage Five directly.
The aura around him became even more magnificent and imposing.
Although Su Chao didnât know what had just happened, he could feel that the elder brother in front of him had become even more unfathomable.
He was merely standing there, yet emitted an overwhelming pressure that sent chills down oneâs spine.
And this pressure was unintentionally releasedâif Su Zhou had done it on purpose, then with his current level of cultivation, he probably wouldnât even be able to remain standing.
âInterestingâŠâ Feeling the surging true essence inside him like a raging river, a faint smile appeared on Su Zhouâs lips.
This Strongest Family System was truly considerateâinvesting in family members would return generous rewards.
And investing to strengthen family members meant the stronger they became, the stronger he himself would be.
It formed a perfect feedback loopâas the saying goes, âThe wool comes from the sheepâs back,â but in this case, the sheep were ones he personally raised.
One had to admit, this system was truly powerful.
With the support of this system, he was bound to lead the Su Family to ascend beyond the myriad worlds of the heavens!
âCongratulations, Second Brotherâyour cultivation has recovered, and it even seems stronger than before.â
Su Zhou pushed down the thoughts in his heart, looking at Su Chao, whose resolute gaze was now worlds apart from the lost look he had just moments ago.
âThank you, Big Brother. Right now, I just feel endlessly ashamed of my earlier behavior.â
âI failed to guide our family well, failed to protect my wife. Itâs one thing to rely on you to clean up the messâbut I even gave in to despair like that!â
A trace of guilt appeared in Su Chaoâs eyes, but the previous dispirited look was gone.
In its place was a determined gazeâthe kind that comes from knowing shame and striving to be better.
Seeing the change in him, Su Zhou knew this was the influence of the Heaven-Defying Undying Body.
Those who possess this physique can never be broken by setbacks or failure.
Instead, they only grow stronger through adversity.
Every failure and hardship becomes part of their talent, making them more powerful.
Truly embodying the saying: âWhat doesnât kill you only makes you strongerâ.
âYou and I are brothersâno need for words!â Su Zhou smiled and waved his hand.
âHelping you is helping myself.â
Hearing this, Su Chao couldnât help but feel his eyes redden.
Not only had his body recovered, his cultivation level had returned, and he had even gained a powerful physique.
That pill was obviously incredibly preciousâyet Su Zhou had only said one sentence about it.
How could he not be moved to tears?
But what he didnât know was that this wasnât just Su Zhou comforting himâit was Su Zhouâs true thoughts.
Whenever a family memberâs power grew, Su Zhouâs own strength would grow as well.
Helping you really was helping himself.
However, Su Chao knew none of this. At this moment, only one thought filled his heart:
Anyone in this world who dares harm my brotherâmust step over my dead body first!
[Ding!! Purple-tier family member detected. Investment possible!]
[Investing an Earth-grade Supreme Technique: Indestructible Body of a Hundred Deaths will return a Heaven-grade Supreme Technique!]
âHmm?â Hearing the system prompt, Su Zhouâs eyes flickered slightly.
âYou can wool this sheep twice?ââŽ
This Undying Body of a Hundred Deaths was the technique Su Chao received from the system after awakening his special physique.
Su Zhou hadnât even had time to examine it before he was able to harvest another benefit from it.
Once again, he sighed at how this system was like his little padded jacketâsweet, thoughtful, and warm.
[Indestructible Body of a Hundred Deaths: A hundred deaths forge the path, the undying prove the divine. After cultivating this technique, the flesh and blood are tempered, the divine soul honed. When trained to the peak, as long as one breath remains, the body can return to its prime!]
This technique was simply a perfect match for Su Chaoâs physique.
His Undying Body needed to grow through defeat, and this technique maximized his survivability.
âThis technique suits you wellâtake it.â With a thought, Su Zhou passed the technique to Su Chao.
This time, Su Chao didnât refuse.
In the past, he thought he was a burden and didnât want to drag Su Zhou down.
But now, what he wanted most was to grow stronger, as quickly as possible, to help Su Zhou.
He didnât seek to stand alongside the family leaderâjust to be able to catch a glimpse of Su Zhouâs back.
[Ding!! You have successfully invested a purple-grade family member with an Earth-grade Supreme Technique and received the reward: Heaven-grade Supreme Technique â Divine Phoenix Myriad Dao Body!]
Su Zhou immediately used the Divine Phoenix Myriad Dao Body from his system inventory, and also activated the Heaven and Earth Spring Concealment Technique along with it.
In an instant, both profound techniques were fully mastered by Su Zhou.
âAll rightâafter a long day, get some rest.â Su Zhou looked at the visibly excited Su Chao.
Su Chao naturally agreed. He couldnât wait to return to his room and begin cultivating.
The two went their separate ways.
As soon as he returned to his room, Su Zhou began reviewing the techniques he had just acquired.
[Heaven and Earth Spring Concealment Technique: As spring warms the flowers and heaven creates all things, Heaven and Earth hide springâcan increase spiritual energy absorption speed by tenfold. Rumored to be part of a Saint-grade technique.]
The Heaven and Earth Spring Concealment Technique began operating on its own within Su Zhouâs body.
In a flash, his rate of spiritual energy absorption became terrifying.
If his earlier absorption rate was like a gentle stream,
Then now, he was like a gluttonous beast that swallowed heaven and earthâ
The surrounding spiritual energy couldnât even keep up, and was almost depleted.
Even though he had just broken through not long ago, his cultivation was already showing signs of loosening again.
Moreover, Su Zhou discovered that as long as he activated the Heaven and Earth Spring Concealment Technique, his body would naturally absorb spiritual energyâhe didnât even need to focus or meditate.
So he continued absorbing energy while examining the Divine Phoenix Myriad Dao Body he had just acquired.
âHiss⊠I think I understand the essence of the systemâs rewards now!â
âThis Divine Phoenix Myriad Dao Body is practically an enhanced version of the Undying Body of a Hundred Deathsâand not just an upgrade, but a super multiplier upgrade!â
âNo!! At least three times the boost!!â
In Su Zhouâs mind, an image of a massive divine phoenix seemed to appear.
That phoenix shone across the heavens, like a blazing sun in the skyâ
Even the sun itself seemed like the phoenixâs mere accessory!
