This martial spirit could devour all things in the world for its own use, an extremely domineering and formidable martial spirit!
"A cultivation speed this fast—I wonder who will obtain it?"
Long Yuan eagerly anticipated the emergence of the Supreme Physique and martial spirit.
With a flick of his finger,
he tossed this system reward into the Heart Refining Pagoda.
But before that,
he first distributed the promised Breakthrough Pills to those who had broken through to Martial Saint within the Chrono Pagoda!
In this way,
the Chu family would soon have another batch of Martial Emperors!
......In the Cang Region's Chu family,
"A bunch of ancestors-abandoning scum, worse than beasts!"
Chu Dingtian roared in anger.
Allowing them to reintegrate and acknowledge their ancestry should have been their honor.
How dare they refuse?
"Ungrateful wretches!"
"To defy their ancestors' legacy for an outsider—utterly ridiculous!"
Even the group of clan elders cursed incessantly.
"Hmph, I think they simply refuse to hand over the lifeline controlling the Beast God, wanting to control the Chu family themselves!"
Chu Dingtian declared.
Even now,
they firmly believed Long Yuan must have some lifeline controlled by that branch of the Chu family.
Otherwise, with his power,
where in the world couldn't he go?
Why bother protecting them?
"If only I had the capability, I'd lead people to exterminate these unfilial descendants right now!"
"As for his nonsense about extra-dimensional demons and calamities befalling the Mortal Realm—utter fabrications! The only calamity here is their branch of the Chu family!"
"With Hell's Gate's Martial Emperor reserves, the Chu family's destruction is only a matter of time!"
They completely dismissed the idea of extra-dimensional demons,
now simply waiting to watch the Chu family's downfall!
Months later,
the Chrono Pagoda opened,
releasing a group of vibrant young men and women.
After their emergence,
elders briefed them on the current situation in the Mortal Realm,
warning them to exercise caution during their travels.
"Since our Emperor-tier war with Hell's Gate began, their experts have frequently infiltrated our territory to cause trouble, even covertly eliminating our subordinate forces—utterly despicable!"
"Most alarmingly, they've assassinated Chu family members. So when traveling, never reveal your identity lightly, lest you attract those killers!"
Casualties were inevitable in war,
an inescapable reality.
Even a Martial Emperor from Heavenly Dragon Abyss had fallen recently—
a heavy blow to the Chu faction!
After all, unlike Hell's Gate,
who treated Martial Emperors as expendable,
every loss mattered greatly to them!
"Yes, Elder!"
The group nodded solemnly.
As the elder finished speaking,
a green-robed woman with waist-length hair gracefully stepped toward the Heart Refining Pagoda.
"Oh? Yannan, you're entering the Heart Refining Pagoda too?"
A handsome young man approached.
His sharp eyebrows and starry eyes radiated an intangible aura,
though his cultivation remained modest.
"Indeed. I was too young before, but after decades in the Chrono Pagoda, it's time to visit our family's greatest opportunity!"
Chu Yannan smiled.
Family rules prohibited children under twelve from entering,
fearing mental damage.
Now they were all of age!
"Huangtian, you're here for the pagoda's opportunities too?"
Chu Yannan asked.
"Of course! Every Chu knows the Heart Refining Pagoda is where the Beast God gave us the chance to defy fate!"
"For ordinary cultivators like us, progress is painfully slow. Only here can we soar, potentially leading our family to glory!"
"Otherwise, even with abundant resources, achieving greatness with mortal physiques is nearly impossible!"
Chu Huangtian said earnestly.
With the family's peak combatants at Martial Emperor level,
they weren't even qualified as cannon fodder!
The pagoda was their only hope to catch up.
Chu Yannan nodded. "Then I wish you the best of luck!"
Recalling when the Beast God first saved her,
she confidently stepped into the pagoda.
Chu Huangtian followed closely.
Days later,
a terrifying phenomenon manifested above Qingyang City—
a majestic figure crowned in imperial regalia,
robed in yellow,
stood towering over heaven and earth!
Countless subjects knelt solemnly at his feet,
as if guarding this peerless emperor!
Majestic imperial might swept across the skies.
"A God-Tier Physique's birth phenomenon?"
Within Dragon Emperor Palace,
Why did this minor family keep producing such physiques?
The phenomenon originated from a pagoda,
its upper levels shrouded in light,
blocking his vision.
"Only Long Yuan could block my sight. This pagoda must be his work."
Yet he burned with curiosity—
what secrets did it hold?
Meanwhile, Hell's Gate experts also noticed the phenomenon.
"Again? The Chu family birthed another God-Tier Physique! They're hiding something monumental!"
The last God-Tier emergence was recent!
Even in the Sacred Realm,
such frequency was unheard of!
"We must pry open their secrets!"
In the Mortal Realm where God-Tier physiques shouldn't exist,
the Chu family kept breaking the rules.
This anomaly—
a method to mass-produce God-Tier physiques—
would interest even the Sacred Realm's ancient sects!
"This phenomenon matches the 'Ancient Human Emperor Physique' from the system's God-Tier rewards."
Long Yuan observed carefully.
Soon,
a transcendent figure emerged from the pagoda.
Though plainly dressed,
his noble imperial aura was unmistakable!
"God-Tier Physique—Ancient Human Emperor Physique!"
Chu Huangtian trembled with excitement.
The legends were true—
the pagoda could rewrite fate!
As he looked up,
the clan leader and elders had already arrived.
"Is it truly a God-Tier Physique?"
Chu Tianyang asked eagerly.
"Honored Elder, it is indeed!"
Chu Huangtian confirmed.
"Excellent! Our Chu family has birthed another peerless genius!"
Chu Tianyang laughed heartily.
