Chapter 87
Canglan Domain.
The Mo Family.
In the solemn and imposing residence, a woman clad in red sat at the head seat.
Her face was full of gratification as she looked at her son beside her, a trace of smug satisfaction surfacing at the corners of her lips.
âJianâer, how are you feeling now?â
The youth had jade-like skin, eyes born with dual pupils, and a faint glow of treasured light shimmered on his chest.
From between his brows occasionally surged a domineering aura. With his black hair cascading down, he looked like a youthful Supreme.
âMother, I feel great now. Iâve almost completely harmonized with Xiao Haoâerâs Supreme BoneâŠâ
Before he could finish, the woman hurriedly covered his mouth.
âDonât say Xiao Haoâerâs Supreme Bone! Jianâer, remember, this Supreme Bone is yours!â
âYou were born a Supreme!â
âBorn with dual pupils and a Supreme Boneâtwo great natural anomalies!â the woman stared into Mo Jianâs eyes, warning him word by word.
âAs for Xiao Haoâer, heâs just a pitiful child who got lost while playing in the mountainsâŠâ
âNo matter who asks, that is what you must say!â
âUnderstood, Mother,â Mo Jian nodded.
In truth, he didnât care much. His disposition was indifferent by nature. Born with dual pupils, he could see into peopleâs hearts, and thus deeply understood that human hearts were like the sea.
Within the entire Mo Family, he only liked his mother and Su Hao.
He remembered the day when Su Haoâs Supreme Bone radiated spiritual light and waves of Dao aura surged outâit was a stunning sight to behold.
He hadnât thought much of it and merely mentioned it to his mother offhandedlyâŠ
But that turned into Su Haoâs calamity.
Now, in his chest, lay Su Haoâs Supreme Bone.
Butâso what?
Since his mother had given it to him, he would accept it. He didnât care how it came to be. To become stronger was always good.
As for the innocent and naive Su Hao, who used to trail behind him everywhereâŠ
If he died, then so be itâŠ
The dual pupils could see through human hearts. When one soaked in that ink-like abyss of the soul, how could they emerge unstained?
Seeing how mature and obedient her son was, the woman was all the more pleased.
She stroked his head and said warmly:
âThis time, the Mo Family will host the Prodigy Banquet and invite the great families of the entire Canglan Domain.
Iâve heard even those from above will be attending.
My Jianâer was born extraordinaryâthose so-called geniuses will all become mere stepping stones for you!â
âIn the future, you will walk a path more resplendent than any other. You will tread the imperial path and ascend higher than anyone elseâŠâ
As she spoke, her smile grew even more motherly.
Yet in her eyes swirled a deep, ominous mist.
âTherefore⊠Mother will not allow you to have a single blemishâŠâ
âThe Su Family may not know anything, but⊠let them be buried anyway.â
The woman spoke quietly.
She was but a mere woman, not versed in the grand schemes of the world.
She only wished for her child to have an unparalleled future!
For thatâanything could be sacrificed.
Offerings!
Her mind involuntarily recalled the innocent, sweet face of little Su Hao.
She remembered how even when his bone was being gouged out, he did not cry.
He merely looked at her with those big round eyes, and for a brief moment, she felt a twinge of regret.
If not for the Supreme Bone growing in him, she really would have kept such a child aroundâto train him as Jianâerâs loyal hound.
But, alasâŠ
That little fellow had likely already been buried in the earth along with his Fifth Uncle.
âXiao Haoâer, if you must blame someoneâblame your family for being too weak.â
âBlame this world of the strong preying upon the weakâŠâ
But what the woman didnât know wasâŠ
At that moment, in the Tiandu Domainâ
Upon the peak of Lingxiao, the little Su Hao she pitied had already begun to rise into the air.
Ten thousand zhang of divine radiance surged down from the sky.
Celestial music echoed, and the Great Dao sang aloud!
Streaks of mysterious aura roared forth, plunging into the boyâs chest.
Before Su Hao, three great Daos were inscribedâ
Reincarnation, Cause and Effect, and Yin-Yangâcarved there by Su Zhou himself!
A bone radiating boundless brilliance was being reborn.
Crack!
With a clear and sharp sound, Su Haoâs tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide.
âAh!!â
A childish yet thunderous roar burst from his mouthâ
Laced with the power of the Dao!
RUMBLEâ!!
The heavens and earth changed color.
Behind Su Hao emerged a boundless phenomenon.
A grand sun rose high, its towering radiance illuminating everythingâlike the one true light that had shone since ancient times!
Those with weaker cultivation or an unstable mind would, just by seeing this great sun, have their battle power instantly halved!
And that terrifying vision wasnât even the most shocking part.
What truly stirred terrorâwas the bone in Su Haoâs chest!
A radiant glow of ghostly light shimmered within.
Mysterious runes were being birthed inside.
On the surface of the new Supreme Bone, countless unreadable characters flowed.
Each one emanated terrifying laws and Dao might!
And this boneâwas not yet fully formed.
It would continue to mature as Su Hao grew!
Who could imagine what terrifying level this boneâfused with three supreme Daosâwould one day reach?
Even Su Zhou did not know!
[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully helped a black-destiny family member reconstruct the Supreme Bone. Reward obtained: Supreme Guardian!]
[Supreme Guardian: The appointed protector of one born with the Supreme Bone, wielding great power!]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have helped a black-grade destiny family member awaken the Supreme Sun God Body. Reward obtained: Chaotic Ancient God King Physique!]
[Chaotic Ancient God King Physique: A supreme body born from the Chaotic Antiquity, capable of devouring all forces to nourish itself!]
[Ding!! Detection complete: Black-destiny family member has returned to the family. Reward obtained: Dragon Gate Peak!]
[Dragon Gate Peak: Cross the dragon gate to become a true dragon. At Dragon Gate Peak, all training is unhindered by talent. When fate aligns, even mortals may ascend the heavens!]
All three rewards were instantly deposited into Su Zhouâs system inventory.
Su Hao slowly opened his eyesâwithin them shone divine brilliance.
Like a god descending to the mortal world.
Though there were no signs of cultivation within him, his innate pressure alone was enough to leave Qi-Condensation stage cultivators paralyzed!
âThank you, Grandpa Family Leader!â Su Hao looked gratefully at Su Zhou.
To Su Hao, Su Zhou was the best person in the world.
Not only did he feel an innate closeness, but the man had saved him and Fifth Uncle in their moment of perilâ
And now, he had restored his lost bone!
Though young, Su Hao didnât yet understand the concept of gratitude.
But he knew one thingâGrandpa Family Leaderâs words were everything!
Su Zhou smiled gently, âXiao Haoâer, what will you do from now on?â
Having rebuilt the Supreme Bone and reshaped his divine body, Su Haoâs early intelligence was already awakened.
He could not be treated like an ordinary child.
Su Zhou wanted to see his attitude toward the Mo Family.
âGrandpa Family Leader⊠Could you⊠could you spare Auntieâs life?â Su Hao hesitated with a hint of embarrassment.
Su Zhouâs brows furrowed.
After such crueltyâhaving his bone gouged outâand he still wished to let her live?
Such mercyâhow could it match the title of Heavenâs Sole Chosen?!
But Su Zhou did not scold him.
Instead, he looked earnestly at the child before him and asked:
âShe gouged out your bone, harmed your kinâyet you would spare her?â
Su Haoâs expression grew solemn, his young face tightening.
âNo!â
âI want to kill her myselfâŠâ
âI may be youngâbut Iâm not stupid. Auntie, Brother⊠they taught me a lesson.â
âThey never truly cared for meâthey only wanted my bone.â
âIf I hadnât come to the Su Family⊠If I hadnât met Grandpa Family Leader⊠I might still be lost right now.â
âThey never cared for meâso why should I care about them?â
âBig Brotherâs talent was indeed greatâI always saw the stars and sun in his eyes. I once thought to support himâŠâ
âBut nowâŠâ
Su Hao looked seriously into Su Zhouâs eyesâ
In them, there was not the slightest hesitation.
Not at all like a mere five-year-old child.
