Chapter 3 - Heavenly Genius

"Quick bring the Doctor the madam is about to give birth"

"wait look up"

"the clouds are gathering"

"is this an auspicious sign or is it misfortune"

The people of the village ran inside out of fear that a disaster is on its way.

Meanwhile inside the room Yi Rens face was filled with pain,

Xuan Li looked at her anxiously worried something bad was going to happen.

Seeing him worry Xuan Yi couldn't help but yell.

"You fool leave the room if your so worried"

"But Father what if something goes wrong"

"then sit down and stay still your not helping"

being reprimanded Xuan Li had no choice but sit on the floor and watch.

Seeing her husband Yi Ren Couldn't help but let out a light chuckle.

Above the clouds continued condensing until flashes of thunder could be seen inside.

It was as though the heavens themselves were in turmoil over Xuan Ren's birth.

Despite what was going on outside the nurses were doing their best to encourage the madam as she was giving birth.

"Push harder"

"You can do it madam his leg is sticking out"

Meanwhile on Xuan Ren's side

He felt a tugging force as he was being pulled out of his mothers womb.

at the same time he couldn't help but be scared again.

hearing the commotion outside his original calm and calculative demeanor is gone replaced with panic once again.

'there have been many cases of babies being strangled by their own umbilical cord'

'what if that happens to me'

Xuan Ren once again had a panic attack yet this time, his panic stricken screams could be heard throughout the heavens.

Waah!

Waaahh!

His cries reverberated throughout the room and was so loud that it looked like even immortals would hear it.

When the patriarch heard this he couldn't help but be shocked.

'why is he so loud'

Xuan Li on the other hand was so happy he started jumping up and down on the spot.

A middle aged man with the demeanor of a dignified immortal was now acting more childish than a three year old.

"Let me see Ren'er"

Yi Ren said weakly as she held out her hands wanting to hold Xuan Ren.

Xuan Li and Yi Ren had already decided on their child's name before he was born due to Xuan Li being far to impatient and unable to wait until his child was born to do so.

Meanwhile outside the thunderous clouds calmed instantly the moment Xuan Ren began crying.

The first person to notice what was going on around them was Xuan Yan, Xuan Yi's 2nd child.

"First brother, Father look outside"

The Patriarch was the first to respond.

"Yan'er are you trying to ruin the mood"

"No I'm not just look outside"

confused the Patriarch left to look outside as Xuan Yan requested.

Seeing what he did, the Patriarch was stunned, Purple qi was gathering towards them, or more specifically towards Xuan Ren.

This was the sign of a Heavenly Genius.

one must know that to be qualified to be a heavenly genius one must have at least a Rank 6 spirit root.

Even in the Ancient Xuan Family Heavenly Geniuses were so rare that they would only be seen once every century and whenever they did they would easily dominate other geniuses in their generation.

The more purple qi gathers the greater to talent of the genius.

A small ball of purple qi means they are barely qualified to be a Heavenly Genius.

A small cloud of purple qi means they are ordinary heavenly Geniuses.

A large cloud of purple qi means they are Great Heavenly Geniuses.

while a massive cloud of purple qi means they are supreme heavenly geniuses.

At least that's how its supposed to go.

In Xuan Ren's case the amount of purple qi is so large that the sky can no longer be seen.

This absurd amount of purple qi is something that has never been seen since the origin of the Tianyun World.

The shock on the patriarchs face was obvious.

The others couldn't help but take a peek themselves.

Yi Ren who was too weak to get up couldn't help but ask

"What happened"

The patriarch who is still in deep shock didn't turn his head and instead answered.

"Your Son, is a heavenly genius"

This sentence made everyone in the Xuan family Jubilant.

"Finally our Xuan family has a supreme genius"

"haha the Xuan Family is destined to rise"

"All hail Young Master Xuan Ren"

Xuan Ren on the other hand finally ceased his crying with the encouragement and reassurance of the system.

[Have you calmed down host?]

'yeah, thanks'

[no worries]

'hey system that purple qi outside can I devour it?'

[Yes the auspicious purple qi is meant for absorbing in the first place]

[When it descends it will improve the luck and bloodline of the entire Xuan family bloodline]

[This is one of the reasons why Heavenly Geniuses are so revered]

'no I mean can I use it for Cultivation?'

[Yes]

[However I recommend only absorbing half]

'yeah I know if i take all of it then my family won't have the luck and talent to protect me'

[coward] the system quietly muttered once again

'what?'

[nothing]

'is that so'

At this moment the purple qi began to descend.

Everyone was filled with anticipation, especially the elders and the patriarch of the family.

This purple qi might just allow them to breath through to the Nascent soul realm.

instead of spreading throughout the Xuan family land like they expected, the purple qi began funneling towards Xuan Ren.

He was devouring it.

not leaving any behind

the elders couldn't help but grumble.

'what a greedy kid'

'leave some for us'

Even the Patriarch felt his heart ache.

This was supposed to be his opportunity to break through to his nascent soul realm

yet it was stolen by his grandson.

He didn't know if he should be happy or angry.

Yet almost instantly all emotions other than shock were erased.

This kid he was just born and yet he's using the purple qi to cultivate.

Where did he learn that from?

he's barely even a minute old.

As the purple qi entered his body it transformed into Chaos qi and began Tempering his body instantly.

His cultivation realm shot up

Body Tempering 1st stage

Body Tempering 2nd stage

... 3rd stage

4th stage

it continued upwards with no sign of stopping.

until it reached the peak of Body Tempering.

His progress paused for a couple seconds before accelerating again.

Bone Forging Realm 1st stage

2nd stage

3rd stage

4th stage

...

Bone Forging 9th Stage

When he reached peak of Meridian Opening he stopped devouring.

At this point there was only half remaining, even so it was still a terrifying amount.

The Patriarch and the elders were the first to snap back from shock

"Everyone Start Cultivating"

His voice reverberated throughout the Xuan Family land and everyone followed.
