Chapter 88

“Grandpa Family Leader, please teach me how to cultivate, grant me a divine art—I want to personally reclaim my bone!”

“He’s not worthy of bearing my bone!!”

As Xiao Hao’er spoke, he dropped directly to his knees.

Seeing this, Su Zhou finally nodded in satisfaction.

Not bad. Only with such temperament, such early wisdom, could one be worthy of receiving the title of the one and only in all eternity.

Just think of the system’s evaluation, and you’ll know how terrifying Su Hao’s future is destined to be.

He will kill to the point that none across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths dare proclaim themselves supreme!

The Su Family already has a swordsman reborn in pursuit of love, a physician with an old grandpa cheat finger, and a would-be Eternal Emperor who seeks to swallow all of existence—naturally, it can also house a monstrous prodigy destined to be the one and only through the ages!

Gazing at the kneeling Su Hao, Su Zhou waved his wide sleeve, and immediately, two items floated before him.

“This divine art is called the Reincarnation Creation Art—it contains the true intent of the Dao of Reincarnation. The Sovereign Bone within you is inscribed with this very Dao and is innately compatible with this technique!”

“This blood is called Nether River Death Blood, the first drop of heart blood from the ancient being Minghe, allowing you to sense a sliver of his ancient insight!”

These two treasures slowly floated in front of Xiao Hao’er.

Then Su Zhou continued, “From now on, you shall stay by my side—I will personally guide your cultivation!”

Xiao Hao’er didn’t know how priceless the two items hovering before him were, but instinctively, he could feel the irresistible aura they emitted.

Even more so, invisible strands of thought seemed to whisper to him just how rare and precious they truly were.

But compared to these maddeningly supreme treasures, what truly made Su Hao joyful was that Su Zhou would personally oversee his cultivation!

“Thank you, Grandpa Family Leader!!”

“Hao’er will never let you down!!”

Seeing Su Hao’s sensible and mature demeanor, Su Zhou couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

This child had suffered so much. Letting him stay by his side and treating him kindly would, in some way, make up for the childhood he never had.

Little did he know—henceforth, the entire Lingxiao Blessed Land, and even the myriad realms, would grind their teeth in frustration and helplessness due to this rascal personally trained by Su Zhou!

[Ding!! Congratulations to the host for a successful investment. Reward acquired: Myriad Ancient Dragon Blood Pill!]

[Myriad Ancient Dragon Blood Pill]: An Immortal Dao Elixir. Upon consumption, it allows one’s aura to manifest as a killing force—the pressure alone can now slay enemies!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful investment. Reward acquired: Supreme Freedom Technique!]

[Supreme Freedom Technique]: An Immortal-Era secret art, infinitely unrestrained and endlessly profound. Born for battle—it allows the user to continuously elevate all Daos mid-combat, and grants complete immunity to any damage suffered once!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful investment. Reward acquired: Nether River True Scripture!]

[Nether River True Scripture]: An ancient divine art created by the primordial being Minghe. It brands the opponent’s soul with a mark, allows power to be granted to them, and then reclaims it at double the cost. Once power is withdrawn, the victim suffers unimaginable pain.

Another three system prompts rang out in succession.

Feeling the surge of rewards in his system’s inventory—

As expected of the Black Fate Destiny! He’d only appeared for half a day, and it had already brought Su Zhou six new rewards, plus a family mission!

And once he personally finished guiding this boy’s cultivation, he would receive an additional hundred years of cultivation!

Keep in mind, Su Zhou had only cultivated for a little over forty years so far.

If he were to gain this full century of cultivation—

His strength might reach the Great Perfection of the Moon-Grasping Realm…

Or perhaps even break through to the Sun-Veiling Realm!

At that thought, the way Su Zhou looked at Su Hao became even more fervent.

Not long after, he summoned a steward and ordered him to prepare a room so Su Hao could reside directly on Lingxiao Peak.

The steward, sensing the oppressive aura of young Hao’er, was inwardly shocked.

A child of such age already possessed an extraordinary presence—and now he was allowed to live on Lingxiao Peak, a place only the Patriarch himself could dwell in.

Could it be…

The steward’s eyes spun quickly, as though he had figured something out.

Not long after, rumors began circulating within Lingxiao Blessed Land that a new peerless prodigy had appeared atop Lingxiao Peak—and that he lived directly there.

Allegedly… a descendant of the Patriarch!!

Upon hearing this, the entire family was shaken!

They all began speculating about this mysterious Su Hao.

Even Su Zhou’s own younger brother, Su Chao, rushed up Lingxiao Peak in the middle of the night, wanting to meet his ‘great-nephew’.

As soon as he stated his reason for visiting, he was kicked off Lingxiao Peak by Su Zhou himself.

“What nonsense…” Su Zhou muttered, sitting atop the peak, shaking his head helplessly.

Indeed, no matter what world you’re in—gossip travels the fastest.

But Su Zhou didn’t care about the rumors.

Instead, he turned his attention to the rewards he had received.

He summoned the Myriad Ancient Dragon Blood Pill and swallowed it directly.

In the next instant—

Buzz!

In his eyes, a majestic, boundless true dragon seemed to rise. With a single thought, it caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

Truly, the Dao of elixirs is mysterious—it can even turn intangible pressure into a deadly weapon.

Su Zhou marveled. With this pill, his oppressive aura could rival ordinary Saint-level divine arts!

Next, he selected to learn the Nether River True Scripture from the system inventory.

Instantly, endless insights surged up from the depths of his consciousness.

Once he fully mastered the Nether River Scripture—even someone as stoic as Su Zhou couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.

For no other reason than this art was too vicious.

The technique allowed its target to borrow power from Su Zhou—unfathomable power—but at the cost of their own lifespan and cultivation.

And once they’d experienced the rush of unearned power, they would become addicted, craving more, falling deeper into dependence—until, when the power was finally reclaimed, their suffering would compel them to ask for more, again and again.

Eventually… they would be drained of all cultivation, of all realm, and that wasn’t even the end.

The hollowed-out cultivator would become the caster’s puppet. Even in death, they could be controlled.

Their logic and personality would remain intact—so intact that they themselves wouldn’t even realize they had already died.

Deep in their soul, they would instinctively worship the caster’s words as divine law.

This scripture was just too terrifying… too cruel… No wonder Minghe was the fastest to ascend to the rank of Primordial among all ancient records and built the strongest of factions.

Such an eerie Dao Scripture was simply—

“Too interesting!” Su Zhou smiled. Any path to power… could be exploited.

Those seduced by temptation deserved what came to them.

“Looks like the myriad realms will soon have one more forbidden legend.”

“Let me think… what should I name it…”

“How about… a Demonic Stone that grants mighty power?” Su Zhou mused with keen interest.

But this wasn’t urgent—it could wait.

Then, he chose to learn the Supreme Freedom Technique.

In an instant, it was as if countless figures, billions strong, danced before his eyes—each movement heavy with profound Dao intent.

In just a few moments, Su Zhou had mastered this ever-growing combat technique!

Next, he relocated the Dragon Gate Peak within Lingxiao Blessed Land.

This place was highly intriguing—so much so that even he wanted to experience it: ascend in a single step, become a dragon in flight.

But right now, he still had unfinished business—

Today’s greatest gain!

The Chaotic Ancient God King Physique, a divine physique capable of devouring all power to strengthen itself.

Without the slightest hesitation, he fed it to his Chaotic Boundless Physique for assimilation.

In an instant, it was as if he transformed into an infinite chaos, unrestrainedly devouring everything.

Even drifting clouds, sunlight, the land—

All forms of energy flowed into his body!

Su Zhou could feel that if he were to fully unleash himself, even Lingxiao Blessed Land would be drained into a desolate void!

Even more terrifying was that this divine physique allowed him to absorb the enemy’s power during battle—once he withstood their attack, he could directly convert that force into his own.

And this, paired with the Supreme Freedom Technique, which only grew stronger mid-combat—was utterly perfect.

It took three days to digest all the rewards.

“By my calculations… they should have arrived at the Mo Family by now.”
