128: With fortune exceeding ten thousand, the battlefield will reopen.

When the words "Second Myriad Heavens Expedition" came out of Chu He's mouth, a different kind of brilliance flickered in the eyes of Lin Waner, Su Qingxue, and Feng Ziyan.

They remembered the last time when Chu He traveled alone to the technological wasteland world known as "Azure Star." Upon his return, not only had his own strength increased greatly, but he had also brought back a Soul Transformation Rank mechanical pet and a massive amount of rare resources.

It was precisely those resources that allowed the Chu Family to develop so rapidly over the past year or so.

And now, facing even more severe challenges, they knew that their husband was about to embark on a new journey.

“Husband, what kind of world are you going to this time?” Lin Waner asked softly, her voice tinged with a hint of worry.

“A world... that can let me break through to the Void Refining Stage as quickly as possible,” Chu He said in a deep voice.

His goal was very clear.

The Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage, although invincible in the Xuanhuang Realm, was still not enough when facing a Universe-level civilization like the Star-Devouring Demon Clan. He had to shatter his nascent soul into a god, condense his Dharma Idol, and step into the Void Refining Stage as soon as possible!

Only upon reaching the Void Refining Stage could one be considered to have the preliminary qualifications for self-preservation in this Universe.

He sank his mind into the System and began to examine the gains from wiping out the Demon Race fleet this time.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully wiping out the Star-Devouring Demon Clan's vanguard fleet, displaying our race's Divine Might, and obtaining 15,000 family fortune value points!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host, the accumulated family fortune value has exceeded 30,000 points, and the 'Myriad Heavens Battlefield' module functions have been upgraded!]

[New Function: World Type Specification. The Host can consume 5,000 family fortune value points to specify the search range when locating a world, such as: Immortal Cultivation World, Magic World, Battle Qi World, Elemental World, etc.]

[New Function: Family Summoning. When the Host is in an otherworldly realm, they can consume family fortune value (depending on the cultivation level and distance of the summoned target) to construct a temporary spatial tunnel and summon Family members to their side to fight together.]

“Good! Good! Good!”

Seeing these two new functions, Chu He couldn't help but say 'good' three times in his heart.

“World Type Specification” meant he could more purposefully search for the resources he needed, no longer being subject to the randomness he faced when going to Azure Star last time.

And “Family Summoning” solved his worries about the future! This meant he was no longer fighting alone; at critical moments, he could summon his powerful wives and children to form an invincible “Chu Family Army”!

This was the true “Family Style”!

“System, specify a search for a ‘Medium-level Immortal Cultivation World,’ and ideally, this world should be in a ‘Chaotic’ or ‘Dharma-Ending’ era,” Chu He immediately gave the command to the System.

The reason he chose such a world was clear.

First, a Medium-level Immortal Cultivation World had complete Laws and abundant Spiritual Qi, so there would inevitably be Heaven And Earth Treasures that could help him break through to the Void Refining Stage, or excellent places for Undergoing Tribulation.

Secondly, a “Chaotic” or “Dharma-Ending” state meant that the order of this world had collapsed, with major forces fighting incessantly, or Legacies being cut off and experts withering away. Such a world was most convenient for him to fish in troubled waters and seize the greatest benefits at the minimum cost.

[Command confirmed. Starting search for worlds meeting the criteria... This search will consume 5,000 family fortune value points and is expected to take the time of one incense stick.]

While waiting for the System search, Chu He began to arrange matters at home.

“Qingxue, after I leave, the defense of the home will be fully entrusted to you.” He looked at Su Qingxue. “Although the Great Array of Celestial Body Shifting is powerful, it's not enough. I refined some array Materials from the Demon Race warships. You and Ce'er study them to see if you can increase the power of the array by another Rank.”

Saying that, he handed a pile of Materials shimmering with metallic luster and Devilish Qi to Su Qingxue.

“Yes, Husband.” Su Qingxue nodded solemnly.

“Waner,” he then looked at Lin Waner, “you will still be in charge of Family resource allocation and intelligence gathering. Also, I need you to keep an eye on something for me.”

“Please speak, Husband.”

“Help me collect all information regarding ‘Heavenly Tribulations,’ the more detailed the better. Whether it's ancient rumors or Sect secret manuals, I want any information related to Heavenly Tribulations.” Chu He's expression became extremely serious.

He had a premonition that his Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation would be absolutely extraordinary, and he had to make complete preparations in advance.

“I understand.” Lin Waner firmly kept this matter in mind.

Finally, he walked to the side of Feng Ziyan and Zhao Linger, who was already showing her pregnancy, and took them both into his arms.

“I've wronged you; I just returned and have to leave again,” he said softly.

“Husband is doing this for our Family, we all understand.” Feng Ziyan leaned against his chest, feeling that powerful heartbeat. “Go with peace of mind; we will take good care of ourselves and the child in my belly.”

Zhao Linger also nodded obediently, her eyes full of attachment and admiration.

Chu He felt a warmth in his heart. He channeled the Origin power within him, transforming it into two strands of pure Chaos Qi, and transferred them into the bellies of the two women to nourish the two beings who, though not yet born, were destined to shock the myriad realms—the Chaos Sacred Body and the chaos dao fetus.

At this moment, the System's notification sound rang in his mind.

[Ding! Target world locked!]

[World Name: Lingxuan Realm]

[World Rank: Medium-level Immortal Cultivation World]

[World's Strongest: Late Void Refining Stage (Three individuals)]

[World Status: Great War between Righteous and Demonic. The Righteous Path Alliance, led by the 'Taixu Holy Land,' and the Six Demonic Sects, led by 'Ten Thousand Demon Cave,' are in a state of all-out war with heavy casualties, and the world Origin has been damaged. Meets the Host's requirements, judged as a 'Perfect Plunder Target.']

[Special Note: The Heavenly Dao Laws of this world are complete. If the Host triggers a 'Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation' in this realm, its power will be more than ten times greater than in the Xuanhuang Realm! Please act with caution!]

Late Void Refining Stage!

Heavenly Tribulation power ten times greater!

Seeing these two pieces of information, Chu He was not afraid; instead, an even more fiery light erupted in his eyes.

The stronger the enemy, the more profit there was to be had in this world!

The fiercer the Heavenly Tribulation, the greater the benefits once it was overcome!

Wealth and honor are sought amidst danger!

“This is the one!” Chu He made a decision in his heart.

He bid farewell to his Family members one by one, and finally gave Lin Waner a heavy hug.

“Wait for my return.”

After saying that, under the reluctant gazes of everyone, he resolutely turned around.

“System, open the world tunnel, target: Lingxuan Realm!”

[Command confirmed. Consuming 1,000 family fortune value points, starting to construct the world tunnel...]

A spatial rift, more stable and larger than the one for the trip to Azure Star, slowly tore open in the center of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda.

On the other side of the rift was a strange world filled with Spiritual Qi so dense it almost materialized, as well as... endless blood-red baleful Qi.

Chu He stepped into it without the slightest hesitation, his figure instantly swallowed by the light.

A new journey had begun!
