Chapter 87
Canglan Domain.
The Mo Family.
In the solemn and imposing residence, a woman clad in red sat at the head seat.
Her face was full of gratification as she looked at her son beside her, a trace of smug satisfaction surfacing at the corners of her lips.
“Jian’er, how are you feeling now?”
The youth had jade-like skin, eyes born with dual pupils, and a faint glow of treasured light shimmered on his chest.
From between his brows occasionally surged a domineering aura. With his black hair cascading down, he looked like a youthful Supreme.
“Mother, I feel great now. I’ve almost completely harmonized with Xiao Hao’er’s Supreme Bone…”
Before he could finish, the woman hurriedly covered his mouth.
“Don’t say Xiao Hao’er’s Supreme Bone! Jian’er, remember, this Supreme Bone is yours!”
“You were born a Supreme!”
“Born with dual pupils and a Supreme Bone—two great natural anomalies!” the woman stared into Mo Jian’s eyes, warning him word by word.
“As for Xiao Hao’er, he’s just a pitiful child who got lost while playing in the mountains…”
“No matter who asks, that is what you must say!”
“Understood, Mother,” Mo Jian nodded.
In truth, he didn’t care much. His disposition was indifferent by nature. Born with dual pupils, he could see into people’s hearts, and thus deeply understood that human hearts were like the sea.
Within the entire Mo Family, he only liked his mother and Su Hao.
He remembered the day when Su Hao’s Supreme Bone radiated spiritual light and waves of Dao aura surged out—it was a stunning sight to behold.
He hadn’t thought much of it and merely mentioned it to his mother offhandedly…
But that turned into Su Hao’s calamity.
Now, in his chest, lay Su Hao’s Supreme Bone.
But—so what?
Since his mother had given it to him, he would accept it. He didn’t care how it came to be. To become stronger was always good.
As for the innocent and naive Su Hao, who used to trail behind him everywhere…
If he died, then so be it…
The dual pupils could see through human hearts. When one soaked in that ink-like abyss of the soul, how could they emerge unstained?
Seeing how mature and obedient her son was, the woman was all the more pleased.
She stroked his head and said warmly:
“This time, the Mo Family will host the Prodigy Banquet and invite the great families of the entire Canglan Domain.
I’ve heard even those from above will be attending.
My Jian’er was born extraordinary—those so-called geniuses will all become mere stepping stones for you!”
“In the future, you will walk a path more resplendent than any other. You will tread the imperial path and ascend higher than anyone else…”
As she spoke, her smile grew even more motherly.
Yet in her eyes swirled a deep, ominous mist.
“Therefore… Mother will not allow you to have a single blemish…”
“The Su Family may not know anything, but… let them be buried anyway.”
The woman spoke quietly.
She was but a mere woman, not versed in the grand schemes of the world.
She only wished for her child to have an unparalleled future!
For that—anything could be sacrificed.
Offerings!
Her mind involuntarily recalled the innocent, sweet face of little Su Hao.
She remembered how even when his bone was being gouged out, he did not cry.
He merely looked at her with those big round eyes, and for a brief moment, she felt a twinge of regret.
If not for the Supreme Bone growing in him, she really would have kept such a child around—to train him as Jian’er’s loyal hound.
But, alas…
That little fellow had likely already been buried in the earth along with his Fifth Uncle.
“Xiao Hao’er, if you must blame someone—blame your family for being too weak.”
“Blame this world of the strong preying upon the weak…”
But what the woman didn’t know was…
At that moment, in the Tiandu Domain—
Upon the peak of Lingxiao, the little Su Hao she pitied had already begun to rise into the air.
Ten thousand zhang of divine radiance surged down from the sky.
Celestial music echoed, and the Great Dao sang aloud!
Streaks of mysterious aura roared forth, plunging into the boy’s chest.
Before Su Hao, three great Daos were inscribed—
Reincarnation, Cause and Effect, and Yin-Yang—carved there by Su Zhou himself!
A bone radiating boundless brilliance was being reborn.
Crack!
With a clear and sharp sound, Su Hao’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide.
“Ah!!”
A childish yet thunderous roar burst from his mouth—
Laced with the power of the Dao!
RUMBLE—!!
The heavens and earth changed color.
Behind Su Hao emerged a boundless phenomenon.
A grand sun rose high, its towering radiance illuminating everything—like the one true light that had shone since ancient times!
Those with weaker cultivation or an unstable mind would, just by seeing this great sun, have their battle power instantly halved!
And that terrifying vision wasn’t even the most shocking part.
What truly stirred terror—was the bone in Su Hao’s chest!
A radiant glow of ghostly light shimmered within.
Mysterious runes were being birthed inside.
On the surface of the new Supreme Bone, countless unreadable characters flowed.
Each one emanated terrifying laws and Dao might!
And this bone—was not yet fully formed.
It would continue to mature as Su Hao grew!
Who could imagine what terrifying level this bone—fused with three supreme Daos—would one day reach?
Even Su Zhou did not know!
[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully helped a black-destiny family member reconstruct the Supreme Bone. Reward obtained: Supreme Guardian!]
[Supreme Guardian: The appointed protector of one born with the Supreme Bone, wielding great power!]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have helped a black-grade destiny family member awaken the Supreme Sun God Body. Reward obtained: Chaotic Ancient God King Physique!]

All three rewards were instantly deposited into Su Zhou’s system inventory.
Su Hao slowly opened his eyes—within them shone divine brilliance.
Like a god descending to the mortal world.
Though there were no signs of cultivation within him, his innate pressure alone was enough to leave Qi-Condensation stage cultivators paralyzed!
“Thank you, Grandpa Family Leader!” Su Hao looked gratefully at Su Zhou.
To Su Hao, Su Zhou was the best person in the world.
Not only did he feel an innate closeness, but the man had saved him and Fifth Uncle in their moment of peril—
And now, he had restored his lost bone!
Though young, Su Hao didn’t yet understand the concept of gratitude.
But he knew one thing—Grandpa Family Leader’s words were everything!
Su Zhou smiled gently, “Xiao Hao’er, what will you do from now on?”
Having rebuilt the Supreme Bone and reshaped his divine body, Su Hao’s early intelligence was already awakened.
He could not be treated like an ordinary child.
Su Zhou wanted to see his attitude toward the Mo Family.
“Grandpa Family Leader… Could you… could you spare Auntie’s life?” Su Hao hesitated with a hint of embarrassment.
Su Zhou’s brows furrowed.
After such cruelty—having his bone gouged out—and he still wished to let her live?
Such mercy—how could it match the title of Heaven’s Sole Chosen?!
But Su Zhou did not scold him.
Instead, he looked earnestly at the child before him and asked:
“She gouged out your bone, harmed your kin—yet you would spare her?”
Su Hao’s expression grew solemn, his young face tightening.
“No!”
“I want to kill her myself…”
“I may be young—but I’m not stupid. Auntie, Brother… they taught me a lesson.”
“They never truly cared for me—they only wanted my bone.”
“If I hadn’t come to the Su Family… If I hadn’t met Grandpa Family Leader… I might still be lost right now.”
“They never cared for me—so why should I care about them?”
“Big Brother’s talent was indeed great—I always saw the stars and sun in his eyes. I once thought to support him…”
“But now…”
Su Hao looked seriously into Su Zhou’s eyes—
In them, there was not the slightest hesitation.
Not at all like a mere five-year-old child.
