26: SSS-level goddess, her cultivation level skyrocketed.

SSS-Rank!

Innate Dao Body!

When these golden, glittering words exploded in Chu He's mind, he felt his heart skip a beat.

Holy crap!

It really... really is SSS-Rank!

Two major Ranks higher than an S-Rank Innate Spirit Body!

What the hell does that even mean?

This is like replacing theBeginner Village (Newbie Village) BOSS with the final World-Destroying Dragon!

Chu He's mind went blank for a moment due to this immense surprise.

He couldn't even imagine what terrifying rewards an SSS-Rank descendant would bring him!

And the System didn't disappoint him in the slightest.

The cold, mechanical prompt sound, to him now, was the most beautiful celestial music in the world!

[Triggered "Prodigy Descends" Super Critical Reward! All rewards are x10!]

[Reward One: Three Hundred Years of cultivation empowerment! Directly raises to—Early Golden Core Stage!]

[Reward Two: Heaven Rank Top-Grade Cultivation Technique "Azure Emperor's Everlasting Life Art"!]

[Reward Three: Lifebound Treasure Embryo—chaos cauldron (Growable)!]

[Reward Four: Family Destiny Golden Dragon, Evolve! Unlock new function—Luck Plunder!]

[Reward Five: Family Guardian Divine Beast—Azure Phoenix (Infant Stage) *1!]

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of reward prompts, like five world-destroying divine lightning bolts, struck Chu He's head, completely stunning him!

Ten times critical hit!

Three hundred years of cultivation empowerment!

Directly to Golden Core Stage?!

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

Chu He roared wildly in his heart!

He originally thought that breaking through from Mid Foundation Establishment stage to Late-stage Foundation Establishment, or even Foundation Establishment Perfection, would be the absolute limit.

But he never expected that System Daddy would be so powerful this time!

In one fell swoop, it allowed him to cross the entire Foundation Establishment Stage and achieve the Golden Core Dao that countless Cultivators dreamed of!

Golden Core!

What kind of concept was that?

In a place like Tianfeng Prefecture, Golden Core Ancestors were like immortals! They were absolute overlords capable of establishing sects and holding sway over a region!

The Prefect of Tianfeng Prefecture was only at the Early Golden Core Stage!

And now, he, Chu He, was too!

And this was just the first reward!

Heaven Rank Top-Grade Cultivation Technique! "Azure Emperor's Everlasting Life Art"!

Just hearing the name, he knew it was an incredibly powerful wood-attribute Cultivation Technique! It was simply tailor-made for Lin Waner and this newborn child! With this Cultivation Technique, their future achievements would be limitless!

And the Lifebound Treasure Embryo, chaos cauldron!

A Lifebound Treasure! That was a supreme treasure connected to a Cultivator's Divine Soul, capable of growing with the Cultivator! Its preciousness far exceeded ordinary Magic Treasures!

Not to mention, the cauldron's name was "Chaos"! One listen and you knew it wasn't an ordinary item!

And the Family Destiny Golden Dragon evolved! Unlocked "Luck Plunder"!

Isn't this the jungle Law of "the strong get stronger, the weak stay weak"? From now on, if I don't like someone, I'll just drain their Family's Luck dry! Too domineering! Too awesome!

Finally, it even rewarded a Guardian Divine Beast! An Azure Phoenix!

That was the divine bird of legend that accompanied the Queen Mother of the West! Although it was only in its infant stage, once it matured, it would definitely be a world-destroying existence!

This wave of rewards was simply extravagant to the extreme!

Chu He felt like he was about to faint from happiness.

Just as his mind was surging and he hadn't recovered from the immense surprise, a terrifying energy, hundreds of times larger than when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage before, descended from the Void Realm and poured into his limbs and bones!

Rumble—!

Inside Chu He's body, there was a mighty roar like rivers surging and thunder raging!

His cultivation, which had already reached Mid Foundation Establishment stage, soared rapidly under the forcefulflushing (scouring) of this brutal energy, like dry weeds being swept away!

Late-stage Foundation Establishment!

Foundation Establishment Perfection!

Pop!

A soft sound, like an eggshell cracking, came from the depths of his Dantian Qi Sea.

His liquid spiritual essence, compressed by the immense energy, began to spin and condense frantically. Finally, a Golden Core, the size of a pigeon egg, perfectly round and emitting a faint golden light, began to take shape!

It's done!

The Golden Core Dao, it's done!

An unprecedented feeling of controlling heaven and earth and Words Manifest as Law surged into Chu He's heart.

He could feel that now, with just a thought, he could easily flatten the entire Qingyang City!

This was the Golden Core Stage!

It was completely a different dimension from the Foundation Establishment Stage!

And the changes in his body also triggered drastic changes in the outside world.

The seven-colored auspicious clouds that had gathered above the Chu Family seemed to be pulled by something and began to spin wildly, forming a huge vortex!

That streak of green light, piercing the sun, also became thicker and more dazzling!

The entire Qingyang City trembled under this terrifying pressure.

Countless Mortals with low cultivation directly knelt on the ground, kowtowing madly towards the Chu Family's direction.

"Immortals! Immortals have appeared!"

"What kind of monster... what kind of monster has the Chu Family given birth to!"

Outside the delivery room.

Qing'er, holding her son Chu Tian, looked at Chu He, who was enveloped in golden light and whose aura was steadily rising, with a shocked expression, her beautiful eyes sparkling with brilliance.

She knew that her husband had become stronger again!

Stronger than before, and more captivating to her!

And Little Chu Tian in her arms seemed to sense something. He didn't cry or fuss, but just opened his big, dark eyes, curiously looking at his father, making "ya-ya" sounds from his small mouth, as if cheering for his father.

Whoosh—

After an unknown amount of time, Chu He finally slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

The golden light on his body gradually retracted.

The celestial phenomenon also slowly dissipated.

He opened his eyes, and in those dark pupils, it seemed as if the sun, moon, and stars rotated, so profound that one glance would make a person sink into them.

Feeling the slowly rotating golden pill in his body and the world-destroying power it contained, the corners of his mouth finally couldn't help but curve upwards wildly!

"Golden Core! This is the Golden Core!"

Damn, it's too awesome!

Having a child directly sends me to the Golden Core Stage!

If those old monsters who had cultivated bitterly for hundreds of years and were still stuck at Foundation Establishment Perfection without any progress knew about this, they would probably be so enraged that their Dao Heart would shatter and they would suffer Qi Deviation on the spot!

"Creak—"

Just then, the delivery room door opened.

A Midwife with a joyful face, holding a baby wrapped in blue brocade, walked out.

"Congratulations, Master Chu! Congratulations, Master Chu! It's a daughter! Mother and daughter are safe!"

A daughter?

It's a girl?

Chu He was stunned, then overjoyed!

He had always wanted a daughter! They say daughters are their father's intimate littlecotton-padded jacket (padded jacket)!

He quickly stepped forward and carefully took the tiny infant from the Midwife's hands.

The little one was still sleeping, but unlike the wrinkled appearance of the newborn Chu Tian, her small face was fair and tender, smooth like the finest suet jade. Her long eyelashes, like two small fans, quietly covered her eyelids.

Although she hadn't opened her eyes yet, just by looking at her features, one could tell that this was definitely a beauty capable of overthrowing kingdoms.

More importantly, her body exuded an innate Daorhyme (Dao charm) that was close to nature. It was as if she herself was a part of the Heaven and Earth Dao.

"As expected of an SSS-Rank Innate Dao Body!" Chu He exclaimed in his heart.

He lowered his head and gently kissed his daughter's tender little face.

"Good daughter, from now on, you'll be called... Chu Yuning."

"Yu from 'language', Ning from 'condensation'."

"I hope your future will be as serene and far-reaching as this Heaven and Earth Dao."

Holding his precious daughter, his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and peace.

His son, Chu Tian, with his S-Rank Innate Spirit Body, was destined to be high above, incomparably domineering, and expand the Family's territory.

His daughter, Chu Yuning, with her SSS-Rank Innate Dao Body, was naturally close to the Dao. In the future, she could cultivate peacefully, pursue eternal life, and become the Family's most solid backing and foundation.

One martial, one scholarly; one active, one serene—perfect!

Chu He's mood was at its peak.

He held his daughter and turned to walk into the delivery room.

On the bed, Lin Waner's face was a bit pale, but her spirits were good. Her eyes gleamed with maternal radiance as she gazed tenderly at Chu He and the daughter in her arms.

"Husband, let me see her."

Chu He carefully placed Chu Yuning beside her.

Lin Waner looked at her daughter's exquisite little face, and tears instantly streamed down.

This was her daughter.

The crystallization of her and her beloved man's love.

And the greatest pride of her life.

"Husband, thank you," she looked up at Chu He and said sincerely.

Thank you for giving me a Family.

Thank you for letting me have such a perfect child.

And thank you for showing me a broader, more wonderful world.

Chu He smiled, held her cold hand, and passed a stream of pure spiritual energy to her.

"Silly girl, we are husband and wife, no need for thanks."

The Family enjoyed a harmonious moment.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from Qingyang City, in the prefectural city of Tianfeng Prefecture.

On a Stargazing Platform a hundred zhang high.

An old man with white hair and beard, dressed in an Eight Trigrams Daoist robe, suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards Qingyang City with a horrified expression.

"Seven-colored auspicious clouds, green light piercing the sun, myriad trees bowing..."

"This is... the phenomenon of an Innate Dao Body descending!"

"Moreover, the commotion is so great, its grade is at least... top-grade!"

"No! Such a divine being must not remain outside! I must bring him back to the prefectural city and take him as a personal disciple!"

The old man's figure flickered, turning into a streak of light and disappearing from the Stargazing Platform.

A new storm, targeting the Chu Family, was quietly brewing.
