Chapter 5: So Be It, Let Him Be My Progeny, Against All Conventional Wisdom

Boom!

Boom!

The visions continued unabated, appearing once more in four distinct forms. They stretched across the sky, spanning millions of miles.

All eyes were fixed on Chu Wuchen, scrutinizing the infant's body, finally realizing what was happening.

"This... is the Double Pupil?"

"What!"

"No, he also possesses a Supreme Bone!"

"What!!!!"

Double Pupil, combined with a Supreme Bone!

The clan elders were dumbfounded, their minds buzzing with disbelief.

"I refuse to believe it!"

A grey-haired elder roared, crimson light enveloping him like an awakened ancient beast.

"Double Pupil and Supreme Bone, these two extraordinary constitutions, how could they manifest in one person?"

"This is impossible!"

Chirp!

He opened his divine eyes, two beams of light incredibly bright, entirely composed of runic laws.

"I don't believe it!"

He needed to take a closer look.

"Ah, my eyes!"

But the next moment, a wail pierced the air, blood streaming from his eyes.

"This Immortal Source... it harms people!"

He cried out.

The other elders stood stunned in the void, shaken to their core, as if in a waking dream:

"How could these two constitutions manifest simultaneously on one person..."

Double Pupil opens Heaven and Earth, undefeated since ancient times.

This phrase, passed down through generations, resonated in their minds, signifying the terrifying nature of this physique.

Invincible, undefeated!

Throughout history, generations of Double Pupil wielders had upheld this glory.

Double Pupil knows no defeat.

It's an exceptionally powerful physique. From birth, it marks the path to invincibility.

And the Supreme Bone is equally formidable.

Containing innate mysteries, it abolishes the inherent weakness of humanity, enabling battles on par with great fiends, not yielding even to true dragon offspring.

With either constitution, one could stand proudly among myriad races, entering the ranks of the strongest prodigies. And now, this child possessed not just one but both.

Unbelievable!

They were horrified.

To possess two such constitutions was unheard of. While rare, in such a vast world, it occasionally occurred.

But for two supreme constitutions to coexist was beyond belief.

Like a mountain that cannot harbor two tigers.

Has anyone ever heard of such a being? A senior elder murmured and asked.

Originally, it was certain, but now, with Chu Wuchen's appearance, their certainty wavered.

No.

Another elder immediately refuted.

Even if such beings existed, they would have been artificially transplanted later, which differs from natural birth.

Then... this child?

Boom!

At that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly descended, enveloping them.

All the elders and high-ranking members were startled.

Even with their strength, adapting was difficult at this moment, feeling as though an ancient sacred mountain were pressing upon their heads.

In the void, a figure appeared.

He exuded vitality.

Surrounded by the sun and moon, stars extinguished in his presence.

His arrival felt like he carried chaos, as if bearing the weight of three thousand worlds.

The ninth ancestor!

All the elders were taken aback. They hadn't expected the ninth ancestor, who had slumbered in the Palace of Longevity for countless years, to awaken.

Immediately, they all bowed:

"Greetings, Ninth Ancestor!"

Below, the Chu family members who had been in a daze suddenly snapped to attention.

Without hesitation, they followed suit:

"Greetings, Ninth Ancestor!"

The roar shook the heavens, like thunder.

Originally,

This was the ninth ancestor.

Known for his prowess in battle, he had incited wars among many races.

They held him in great reverence.

Yet now, the ninth ancestor seemed unconcerned with them, his gaze fixed on Chu Wuchen.

He lifted the infant, allowing Chu Wuchen to absorb the Immortal Source.

"This child is of my Chu family's bloodline."

He declared.

His eyes were as bright as Double Pupils, scrutinizing Chu Wuchen thoroughly.

In his rarely trembling voice, one could hear traces of excitement and even a hint of quiver.

For such an ancient existence, this was exceedingly rare.

Not only had he discovered that Chu Wuchen possessed Double Pupil and Supreme Bone, but he also discerned the pure and potent Immortal Blood of the Chu family coursing through him.

Any one of these traits could propel Chu Wuchen into the ranks of the strongest prodigies.

But now,

Chu Wuchen possessed all three.

Thus, even the ninth ancestor, an ancient monster, found it surreal.

"In this life, my Chu family will flourish!"

He murmured.

His voice was resolute, soaring into the sky, echoing across realms.

His words ignited the blood of every Chu family member present, stirring them to their very core.

In this lifetime.

The Chu family not only boasted four sages and five scions who dominated their domains but also welcomed an unparalleled prodigy.

"Ninth Ancestor, is this child..."

The elders approached cautiously, their voices trembling.

Meanwhile.

Their gazes inevitably drifted toward Chu Wuchen.

A baby, fair and radiant with immortality, delicate as a porcelain doll.

In his large eyes, however, confusion still lingered.

Yet gradually, he began to understand.

He had been born into this world on his own, indicating that his parents, whom he had glimpsed for but a moment...

Must have perished in some great calamity.

For a moment,

He felt a pang of sorrow.

"This is my Chu family's child. I wonder in which era he was sealed away."

The ninth ancestor pondered aloud.

Simultaneously, he reached for a piece of crimson jade resting on Chu Wuchen's chest.

This immortal jade was exceptional.

Engraved upon it were three words:

Chu Wuchen!

The elders couldn't help but smile at the sight. This child undoubtedly belonged to their Chu family.

"Wuchen... what a fitting name."

"Haha!"

"Tianxing, our Chu family."

...

They laughed heartily, their excitement uncontainable.

"Ninth Ancestor, Wuchen's parents must be gone. What now..."

Some elders hesitated, seeking guidance from the ninth ancestor.

"There's no doubt."

He affirmed.

Whether it was Chu Wuchen's bloodline, physique, or the seal of the Immortal Source, all pointed to the fact that Chu Wuchen's parents were no ordinary individuals. Even within the long-lived Chu family, their status would have been exceptional.

And now, with Chu Wuchen appearing in this manner, it was evident that his parents had passed away.

"This..."

The elders exchanged solemn glances, their minds filled with concern for Chu Wuchen's future.

Meanwhile, the ninth ancestor

fell into deep thought.

"This child needs nurturing."

After a pause, he looked down at Chu Wuchen. The more he observed the child, the more fond he grew of him.

"Wuchen, how about from now on, you become my descendant?"

The ninth ancestor suggested with a smile.

This idea had suddenly occurred to him, and upon reflection, he found himself quite pleased with it.

Chu Wuchen, still an infant, would need care.

Moreover, he was an extraordinary prodigy, a rare phenomenon who would require the guidance of a strong mentor.

However, Chu Wuchen seemed displeased. He furrowed his brows, sensing that this man was taking advantage of him.

Just then, a voice resonated from the Palace of Longevity:

"Who among you is senior, and who is junior? Old Nine, you should avoid committing a grave offense."

"Um...!"

The ninth ancestor was momentarily dumbfounded.

He glanced at Chu Wuchen, who was glaring at him with wide eyes.

It seemed as though Chu Wuchen was silently protesting:

"Yes, yes, what you're doing is quite improper."

The ninth ancestor felt embarrassed all of a sudden.

However, he kept his composure, concealing any hint of embarrassment. The voice from the Palace of Longevity had merely reached his ears.

After a brief moment of consideration:

"Very well, I shall take him under my wing and confer upon him a special title."
