Chapter 86
Su Zhou channeled his Dao Rhyme, gently nourishing Su Hao’s body.
Then, he turned his gaze to Su Tian, who was kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly, and said:
“Speak. What exactly happened?”
Su Zhou’s voice was calm, almost devoid of emotion. But to Su Tian’s ears, it sounded like an endless sea of blood was surging.
Without the slightest concealment, Su Tian hurriedly confessed everything.
Their branch had relocated from the main lineage a thousand years ago.
Unlike other collateral branches, theirs had committed a grave crime and was banished from the Su Family.
They wandered until they eventually settled in the neighboring Canglan Domain near the Tiandu Domain.
There, they established themselves, and as time passed, they took root.
Everything had been peaceful. Though the Canglan Su Family was small in number, they had a strong marital alliance—
The Mo Family! A family of significant repute in the entire Canglan Domain. Su Hao’s mother hailed from the Mo Family.
Both Su Hao’s father and grandfather served the Mo Family, and had been away for three years in a struggle over a certain Secret Realm.
Originally, all was well—Su Hao was merely a bit lonely in the Mo household. But no one expected that Su Hao harbored a Supreme Bone within him!
And even worse, this secret was seen by Su Hao’s cousin, who then told his mother.
Greed was thus sparked. She secretly approached young Hao’er, abducted him into a hidden chamber, and forcibly extracted the Supreme Bone, transplanting it into her own son’s body.
If Su Tian had not returned home in time that day and found his nephew missing, Su Hao might not have survived!
As Su Zhou listened to it all, his expression grew even calmer.
But in the depths of his dark eyes, waves of bloodlust seemed to churn.
“The laughable part is, in just a few days, the Mo Family is going to host a Banquet of Prodigies, inviting talents to perform martial exhibitions for the crowd. But their real motive is to flaunt their so-called ‘Qilin Son’!”
“What Qilin Son!!”
“He’s nothing but a thief who stole Hao’er’s future!” Su Tian roared as he slammed the ground in fury.
Hearing this, Su Zhou’s lips curled into a faint, intrigued smile.
“A martial exhibition of prodigies?”
“How interesting. Truly interesting.”
Su Zhou murmured. Then his tone turned solemn:
“Su Family Sequence Eleven to Thirty, heed my order—head to the Mo Family in the Canglan Domain. Attend this so-called prodigy banquet!”
“Everyone of the Mo Family—kill them all!”
Su Zhou’s voice boomed like a divine decree!
In an instant, it echoed throughout the entire Lingxiao Blessed Land.
A youth who had been working in the kitchens stepped out slowly, glanced at the sun overhead.
He pulled out a soot-blackened fire poker, and bowed deeply in Su Zhou’s direction.
Then, he soared into the sky.
“Hahahaha!! As the Family Chief commands!”
“What damn Mo Family dares provoke our Chief!”
“They’re nothing in front of the Su Family!” A drunken man stumbled down from the mountain, wind summoning a longsword to his side.
Another youth dropped the corpse of a demonic beast, swallowing all its blood essence.
He looked toward the horizon, eyes full of reverence: “Yes, my lord!”
Clang! Clang! Clang!
One after another, Su Family’s prodigies surged out from Lingxiao Blessed Land.
Each of them emanated a terrifying aura.
Yet, none of their auras were alike—every single one of them walked their own unique Dao.
These people were all under thirty years old—yet their cultivation realms were utterly shocking!
The weakest among them was at the third tier of the Heaven Origin Realm!
Out in the world, any one of them would be a peerless prodigy coveted by the great sects and holy lands.
Who would have imagined that all these terrifying prodigies came from one single family?
If what Su Tian saw earlier already made him question reality—
Then the next sight left him trembling uncontrollably.
Su Zhou spoke again.
“Su Nan!”
“Present!”
In a flash, a figure both divine and demonic appeared before Su Tian.
Clad in white robes, slim of build, but his presence left all others mute. In front of him, Su Tian felt like a lone ship in a raging sea—barely afloat.
“Have you found your path?” Su Zhou asked.
Su Nan gave a slight nod. “Family Chief, I want to see how many in this world are worthy of being weighed on my scale.”
“Worthy of being called my adversaries.”
Su Nan’s voice was soft, but within that light phrase was a will to battle so strong it defied comprehension.
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, across the Three Thousand Great Domains—how many are worthy of being my enemy?
To battle me—is already your greatest honor.
What arrogance. What madness. What absolute confidence!!
To regard all the prodigies of the myriad realms as nothing!
“Good! Go to the Mo Family of Canglan, sweep all before you!”
“From there on, act as you will. Walk your own path. Battle all the prodigies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!”
“As you command, Family Chief!” Su Nan, having found his path, now moved with a fierce grace.
He gazed in the direction of the Canglan Domain and strode forward boldly.
To challenge all peerless talents across the heavens, to suppress every monstrous genius!
This—was the path he would walk.
A path of conquest and war!
“It’s time for the Su Family’s name to resound through the myriad realms…”
[Ding! Family Quest Activated: Martial Exhibition of Prodigies? All Are Ants Before the Su Family!]
[The Mo Family of Canglan has humiliated Su bloodline, dug out a sacred bone—exterminate them!]
[The higher the task rating, the greater the reward!]
“Family Chief! I want to return to Canglan Domain!”
“I want to see with my own eyes the Mo Family paying the price for what they did!”
Su Tian gritted his teeth.
Su Zhou thought for a moment, then nodded, before declaring:
“Henceforth, the Canglan branch shall return to the main house. All past sins are forgiven.”
At these words, Su Tian was overwhelmed with emotion. He had read the journals of his ancestors—he knew how deeply they had yearned to return to the main family. And now, that wish had finally been granted!
“Little Hao’er, I leave him in your hands!” Su Tian once more knelt in gratitude.
Then, having recovered his strength, he turned and departed.
Su Zhou, holding the slumbering Su Hao, activated the Ten Fiend Kunpeng Technique—and with a single thought, returned to the Lingxiao Peak.
“A black destiny… highest system rating… four investment rewards triggered at once!”
Since unlocking the system, Su Zhou had never seen four rewards trigger at once.
Even Su Nan, who awakened from the ancient past, had never caused this.
One could only imagine—just how terrifying this “black-grade” talent truly was!
With a thought, Su Zhou summoned the supreme sacred herb: the Leaf of Reversing Three Lifetimes, which sprouted from the ground!
He would reforge Su Hao’s bone.
Forge one that surpassed even the one he had lost!
Terrifying Dao Rhymes surged from Su Zhou’s body as he cast rare and precious herbs into the Ancestral Blood Cauldron.
In that moment, boundless vitality erupted. The Leaf of Reversing Three Lifetimes’s immense life force and temporal power, under Su Zhou’s control, flowed into Su Hao’s chest.
Then—
Strands of Dao began to surface from Su Zhou’s body.
Unlike ephemeral Dao Rhymes, these threads carried the true might of the Dao!
These were Great Daos Su Zhou could now actively wield.
The Dao of Reincarnation, realized from the Reincarnation Creation Technique.
The Dao of Causality, mastered through Causal Tribulation Threads.
The Dao of Yin and Yang, grasped from the Ten Fiend Kunpeng Technique.
Three supreme Daos—each mysterious, each powerful—were infused into the reforging.
Reincarnation. Causality. Yin and Yang.
Who could imagine what kind of bone would emerge from the fusion of all three?
What kind of terrifying being would be born from it?
