66: The pagoda opens, revealing an SSS-rank Phoenix Maiden.

With one punch, he blasted Blazing Sun Elder to death, and with a flick of his finger, he annihilated his disciples.

Using thunderous methods, Chu He completely suppressed all the ill-intentioned scoundrels on the Black Wind Plain.

For the next two days, no one dared to approach the corner where he stayed; no one even spoke loudly, for fear of disturbing that terrifying existence whose depth was unknown.

Chu He was happy to have the peace and quiet; he closed his eyes to rest and waited for the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda to open.

On the third day, at noon.

Rumble—

The entire Black Wind Plain suddenly trembled violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

In the center of the plain, the giant Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, which had been in an illusory state, suddenly erupted with ten thousand feet of azure light, and its body rapidly solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A desolate, ancient, and grand aura spread out from the pagoda, enveloping the entire world.

"The Heaven-Reaching Pagoda is about to open!"

"Quick! Get ready to enter!"

"The Secret of Spirit Transformation! I'm coming!"

The camp, which had been silent for two days, boiled over instantly; all the Cultivators stood up in excitement, their eyes filled with greed and fervor.

As the pagoda fully solidified, runes flowed over the closed giant stone doors at its base, which slowly opened to both sides, revealing a vortex as deep as the starry sky.

"Charge!"

Someone shouted, and the Cultivators, who could no longer restrain themselves, were like carps crossing a river, turning into streaks of light and frantically surging toward that vortex gate.

Everyone wanted to seize the initiative.

However, at the very moment the first batch of Cultivators was about to rush into the vortex.

Buzz—

An invisible ripple spread out from the vortex.

The hundreds of Cultivators at the very front, regardless of their cultivation level, suddenly stiffened; then, under everyone's terrified gaze, their bodies shattered inch by inch like weathered rock, turning into flying ash.

"What's happening?"

"There's a Restriction!"

Those behind were scared to the point of their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and they hurriedly stopped.

Just as everyone was in a state of shock and uncertainty, an old and grand voice, as if from the Nine Heavens, echoed in everyone's minds.

[Those with a Bone Age exceeding a thousand years: enter and die.]

The voice carried no emotion, yet it contained the unquestionable Law of Heaven and Earth.

As soon as the voice fell, the faces of several old monsters in the crowd, whose auras were exceptionally powerful and who had clearly lived for thousands of years, instantly turned incredibly ugly.

They had originally intended to come in and fish in troubled waters, but they hadn't expected the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda to have such a Restriction.

Unwillingness and anger, yet they were helpless.

In the face of the Law of Heaven and Earth, no matter how strong they were, they were merely ants.

The several old monsters looked at each other and could only sigh in the end, unwillingly turning into streaks of light and departing.

With the previous example as a warning, the remaining Cultivators became cautious and began to line up to enter in an orderly fashion.

Chu He remained sitting on the black stone, unmoving.

He looked at the scrambling crowd, a hint of disdain curling at the corner of his mouth.

A bunch of fools.

Could the Opportunities within the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda be obtained just by snatching?

He leisurely activated the "Eye of Investigation," his gaze sweeping over the Cultivators about to enter the pagoda one by one.

"F-Rank..."

"E-Rank..."

"D-Rank, barely passable."

"C-Rank, not bad."

Looking all the way down, they were still just a bunch of mediocre talents, making him greatly disappointed.

Just as his interest was waning and he was preparing to head in himself.

Suddenly.

[Ding! SSS-Rank target detected!]

[System Warning! Ultra-high energy Bloodline reaction detected! It is recommended that the Host capture them at any cost!]

In his mind, the System's cold mechanical voice, for the first time, carried an unprecedented urgency and excitement!

Chu He was deeply shaken!

SSS-Rank!

After his daughter Chu Yuning and son Chu Ce, he had actually discovered another SSS-Rank existence!

His gaze instantly locked onto the target prompted by the System.

It was a woman mixed in an unremarkable small team.

The woman wore a fiery red long dress; she had a tall figure and an exquisite face, carrying an innate nobility and coldness, like a proud Phoenix.

Her cultivation was at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, which wasn't top-tier among the crowd of experts, but that unique Bloodline aura on her body caused even the Primordial Dragon God Bloodline within Chu He to feel a slight throb.

That was a supreme Bloodline of the same level, perhaps even surpassing it in some aspects!

The information from the [Eye of Investigation] clearly appeared in his mind.

[Name: Feng Ziyan]

[Beauty Score: 96]

[Physique: SSS-Rank (Archaic Phoenix Bloodline · Not Fully Awakened)]

[Cultivation: Early Nascent Soul Stage]

[Offspring Potential: SSS-Rank]

[System Evaluation: Daughter of Destiny, descendant of the Phoenix Clan, possessing great Luck. She is a match made in heaven for the Host's Primordial Dragon God Bloodline; the combination of Dragon and Phoenix will give their offspring a very high probability of breaking through Bloodline shackles and giving birth to an unprecedented 'Chaos Sacred Body'! It is strongly recommended that the Host take her into his harem; this is the foundation of the Family for ten thousand generations!]

Chaos Sacred Body!

Chu He's breathing became a bit hurried at this moment.

He had originally thought that the "chaos dao fetus" born from his use of the "bloodline furnace" to fuse the Primordial Dragon God Bloodline and the Innate Dao Body was already the limit.

But he hadn't expected there to be an even higher-level "Chaos Sacred Body"!

Moreover, this Feng Ziyan's Beauty Score was as high as 96! Even one point higher than Su Qingxue!

This was definitely an unexpected surprise! A massive unexpected surprise!

Chu He's gaze instantly became incredibly fervent.

Originally, he had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude toward the "Secret of Spirit Transformation" inside the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda.

But now, his goal had changed.

What Secret of Spirit Transformation, what Opportunities and fortunes—in front of an SSS-Rank goddess wife, they all had to step aside!

Today, he was determined to have this Feng Ziyan!

Even Jesus can't keep her, I said it!

He watched as Feng Ziyan followed her team, slowly walking into the vortex gate and disappearing.

Chu He stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.

He no longer hesitated; with a flash of his body, he turned into a streak of light and followed closely behind, rushing into the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda.

A treasure-hunting journey had quietly turned into a... beauty-hunting journey.
