Chapter 147
Su Lao Qi’s words couldn’t help but make people smile a little.
Even Su Zhou gave him a slap on the back of the head.
“How old are you already, and still acting like this, no dignity at all!”
Su Zhou was always like this. Toward enemies, he was as cruel and blazing as the height of summer, but toward his family members, he was incomparably gentle.
As the leader of the family, he was the sky over the family!
Absolutely! Absolutely not just trying to fleece people for benefits!!
Su Mowen didn’t understand the nonsense his father was muttering. He only felt that the scent on Su Zhou’s body was wonderful…
It made him want to get close.
Su Zhou reached out and teased little Su Mowen. The child clutched one of his fingers, giggling “ge-ge” with unspeakable cuteness written all over his face.
Before Su Zhou’s eyes, a light screen that only he could see slowly surfaced.
[Name: Su Mowen]
[Heaven’s Mandate: ?]
[Comprehension: Heaven Ruling]
[Root Bone: Superior]
[Realm: None]
[Innate Qualification: Son of Great Fortune, Heaven-and-Earth’s Protection, Heart of an Innocent Child]
[Son of Great Fortune: Blessed with towering fortune, heaven-sent blessings and prosperity, misfortune turns to opportunity; every calamity will transform into his chance, and it will even increase the family’s overall fate!!]
[Heaven-and-Earth’s Protection: Guarded by heaven and earth, possessing a mysterious instinctive sense, allowing him to avoid danger and gain opportunities!]
[Heart of an Innocent Child: An innocent child is no ordinary talent; he does not see with the eyes but perceives with the heart. With such pure innocence, he observes all things in the world and comprehends truth!]
[Quality Ranking: Mortal < Commoner < Superior < Genius < Heaven’s Pride < Peerless < Monstrous < World-Suppressing < Heaven Ruling]
Looking at Su Mowen’s panel, Su Zhou felt this was rather interesting.
The buff of ‘Son of Great Fortune’ not only strengthened the individual but also amplified the entire family’s fate.
At present, he was the only one among all family members with such an effect.
His attributes also caught Su Zhou’s attention.
Little Mowen’s comprehension was at the Heaven Ruling level, the highest possible grade of comprehension!
Purely in terms of comprehension, he even surpassed Su Hao!
Heaven Ruling level comprehension could no longer be described with words like Heaven’s Pride or Monstrous Talent.
In other words, just by observing the changes of heaven and earth, he might instantly comprehend a complete cultivation method, things a normal Heaven’s Pride could not glimpse even in a lifetime, he would grasp in a single glance.
When paired with the effect of the Heart of an Innocent Child, little Mowen’s understanding of cultivation would reach an unimaginably terrifying level.
But conversely, his root bone was extremely poor.
Now that the Su Family was nourished by spiritual energy and spirit veins, the root bone of an average family member was already at the Genius grade.
Yet little Mowen’s root bone was only at the Superior grade.
This was completely mismatched with his comprehension, to the extent that he might grasp methods he himself could not wield.
“In the future, I must find a way to adjust this little one’s root bone,” Su Zhou thought secretly.
Then he extended a finger and tapped lightly on the child’s forehead.
A golden true essence left behind a golden dot on the child’s brow.
This made the already adorable child look even more extraordinary, adding a strange charm.
“With this protective mark of mine, there are three stored attack phantoms that will ensure his safety!”
As he spoke, Su Zhou also took out a jade pendant shaped like a protective lock and hung it around Su Mowen’s neck.
“This Nurturing Heart Jade, if the little one wears it at all times, it will nourish his soul and improve his root bone…”
Then, under Su Lao Qi’s tearful, grateful gaze, Su Zhou turned and left.
Faintly, he could still hear Su Lao Qi’s excited voice!
“Did you see that?! Didn’t I say I was Family Leader’s sparring partner? Look! I had a son, and that great one came in person!”
“He even gave my son a name, Mowen!! Hahaha, Do good deeds, ask not about the future!!*”
[*A classical saying: “Just do good deeds, ask not about the future.” It means one should act with integrity and kindness without worrying about fate or personal gain]
“Do you know what it means when a child is personally named… That means that great one has accepted my son as his…”
Su Lao Qi’s words made the corners of Su Zhou’s lips curve upward.
Times had changed, old friends were still alive, the family flourished, everything he did felt so precious.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, investment successful. Reward obtained: Creation Tablet!]
[Creation Tablet: An innate divine item, born of Creation. If one comprehends it, one may gain boundless fortune!]
[Ding!! Congratulations, host, investment successful. Reward obtained: Nine Dragons Raising the Ship!]
[Nine Dragons Raising the Ship: The dragon begets nine sons; all nine sons together pull a treasure boat, touring the myriad heavens!]
Two new rewards appeared in the system’s backpack.
Su Zhou’s mood soared.
Although Su Mowen’s Heaven’s Mandate rank could not yet be seen, as a Son of Great Fortune, it must be extremely high.
That meant future investments would surely yield generous returns.
At this thought, an image flashed through Su Zhou’s mind, someone who always hugged books to read.
The son of Confucian Dao, Su Yun.
According to Su Zhou’s knowledge, Confucian Dao once had a glorious age.
In that era, Confucian cultivators’ words carried the force of law, and through the Six Arts of the Gentleman they cultivated body and virtue, Confucian scholars were nearly invincible in their realm.
But this glory did not last long.
Later, when the Sage opened the heavens, the most powerful cultivators of the world followed him and departed.
Thereafter, the fortune of Confucian Dao declined drastically, its inheritance cut off. Yet this child Su Yun was born with the last vestiges of Confucian fortune and Dao resonance.
He was the final hope of Confucian Dao, and his Heaven’s Mandate rank in the future would inevitably be extremely high.
That meant there were already two pieces of “wool” waiting to be sheared in advance.
Thinking of this, Su Zhou’s eyes narrowed as he recalled a secret.
“The Myriad Dao Academy… If I remember correctly, it was originally founded by Sage Yan, one of that Sage’s earliest disciples.”
“Since little Su Yun is the culmination of Confucian Dao, perhaps this academy holds his destined chance.”
“Hmm… later, when Bai Lu brings the Myriad Dao Academy into the Su Family’s Minor World, that will settle it.”
Su Zhou thought to himself.
Originally, he had only intended for the Myriad Dao Academy to become the Su Family’s vassal.
But since it might concern the future of the family’s disciples, it could not be risked.
Therefore, he would pull the academy into the Minor World, never again open to outsiders, serving only to enlighten and educate the family’s children.
“With the talent and aptitude of my family’s juniors now, this academy will be more than worth it…” Su Zhou muttered.
Afterward, his divine sense swept across the Lingxiao Realm.
He found a plaza, and from the system’s backpack he placed the Creation Tablet in its center.
In an instant, an ancient stone stele appeared in the square.
The stele had no words or markings, but faintly, streams of creation-light flowed upon it.
In different eyes, the Creation Tablet looked different.
In some eyes, it was as towering as a mountain.
In others, it looked like a weathered gravestone.
Some saw it as a vast sky, some as a blazing sun!
A thousand people saw a thousand images; ten thousand gazes revealed ten thousand forms.
Such was the Creation Tablet, embodying infinite creation-light.
Whoever comprehended it would be baptized by Creation and perceive boundless Dao.
Su Zhou stood before the Creation Tablet.
In his eyes, there was no stele, no towering monument, he saw only words composed of pure creation-light.
“Products of the system, without exception, are fine goods!”
“The creation-light within this stele is truly so dense!”
Su Zhou murmured, then his mind and body instantly sank into a warm sensation.
Beams of creation-light cascaded into his soul.
In that moment, his understanding of the great Daos he commanded deepened significantly.
Behind him, cycles of reincarnation turned endlessly; life and death of all beings repeated, strung together by the Dao of Causality.
Above the beings lay the Dao of Yin-Yang; beneath the world lingered the Dao of Annihilation, waiting for mortals to be consumed!
It was as if Su Zhou was witnessing something profound, his eyes grew ever brighter!
“The great Daos are in essence one, mutually engendering and mutually restraining!!”
As his words fell, all the visions scattered.
Su Zhou’s comprehension of the Dao had leapt forward immensely.
Before, he could only wield the surface power of these few Daos, but now he had stepped one layer deeper.
For example, the Dao of Annihilation: before, he used it merely for destruction and obliteration.
But now he saw a deeper layer, universal perdition.
True annihilation was not only material; it encompassed absolute void, erasing cultivation, realms, even… the Dao Heart!
In the end, even time and space themselves could be annihilated. Only then could it be called the Dao!
“What a treasure!”
