Chapter 46: From Now On, You Call Me Master and I Call You Big Brother, and We’ll Talk About Our Own Things!
Under such terrifying wealth, the Su family no longer had to worry about cultivation resources for nearly a hundred years.
After that, he returned once more to Lingxiao Peak*.
[*Name of the main peak in the Lingxiao Su Family]
Now that the family had officially gotten on the right track, all the branch families, after receiving the news, were hurrying towards the Lingxiao Blessed Land.
The family could now be considered to have formally set foot on the right path.
But once the branch families and the main family are merged, various conflicts are bound to arise.
This is the chronic illness of large families.
Within one family, the direct line, collateral branches, main house, sub-house, and side branches — the structure is far too complicated.
With all these mutual checks and balances, it is bound to hinder the family’s development, and that, in turn, would hinder Su Zhou’s strength growth.
A slight frown appeared between his brows.
“Once all the branch families are merged in the future, the current family structure is sure to run into problems. I’ll have to carefully rework it from the ground up.”
“Now that I’ve taken over the Lingxiao Blessed Land, many sects and aristocratic families are surely stirred. Some rules… it’s time to let them know.”
He murmured softly.
“Zu!”
From within the darkness, a black-robed figure slowly emerged, as if he existed everywhere Su Zhou needed him.
He never said much, never asked questions — always silently carrying out Su Zhou’s orders.
Other than being restricted from taking action within the Su family territory, he was practically a perfect tool.
“My Lord.”
“Those not of our family may not set foot on Lingxiao without permission. First offense is a warning, second offense—extermination!”
“Understood!” the old Zu responded.
Su Zhou said no more. The true essence around him began to circulate gently as he cultivated while contemplating the future development of the family. He aimed to resolve the hidden dangers once all the branch families had joined.
Meanwhile, the black-robed old Zu once again disappeared into the shadows, as though he had never existed.
…
“Teacher!!!”
“This cultivation technique… this cultivation technique…”
Sitting on the bed, Su Yan could feel a stream of warm energy continuously surging through his meridians.
His once-dissipated cultivation was slowly recovering.
Fifth stage of Blood Tempering!
Seventh stage of Blood Tempering!
First stage of Qi Transformation!
Fourth stage of Qi Transformation!
If realms are like floors of a building, and true qi is the tiles…
Then Su Yan was like a building whose floor tiles had been ripped out — re-laying tiles is obviously much faster than rebuilding the whole building.
But while it sounds easy, it is exceedingly difficult in practice.
A building stripped of its tiles — even the slightest mistake could result in a collapse.
However, the Dao of Fiery Heaven and Earth that Su Yan cultivated, though extremely aggressive like a flame scorching the heavens rampaging within his body…
It was also extremely stable. Everywhere it passed, all flaws were smoothed out.
Su Yan’s cultivation realm rose at an astonishing speed.
“That family leader of yours really is generous beyond compare…”
“This cultivation technique is a top-tier Heaven-grade manual!!” Yao Chen was utterly shocked.
“What!!”
Upon hearing this, Su Yan was so shocked he could hardly close his mouth. He had suspected that the technique bestowed by the family leader wasn’t ordinary…
But he never imagined it would be this precious.
This was a Heaven-grade manual — some sects’ core techniques were only Earth-grade, and even the imperial guard technique of the Divine Xia Empire barely reached the lower tier of Heaven-grade.
Yet his family leader casually handed him a top-tier Heaven-grade manual.
It was beyond imagination.
A fire of gratitude burned in Su Yan’s chest — words could no longer express his thankfulness to Su Zhou.
To bestow a Heaven-grade technique just like that — what incredible regard for me!
In his heart, he was ready to lay down his life for Su Zhou.
On the side, Yao Chen could only feel bitter. The disciple he had taken in… turned out to have such an overwhelming background.
He had originally taken Su Yan as his disciple to one day help him get revenge. But now it seemed the benefits he could offer Su Yan were minimal.
Other than that Burning Art, which he had already given Su Yan — a technique that allowed one to devour foreign flames to grow stronger — he had little else to offer.
Even his current soul condensation was only possible because Su Yan had given him a Soul Reflection Pill.
“Su Yan… your family has such terrifying foundations. You no longer need me…”
Yao Chen said with a complicated expression. But before he could finish, Su Yan interrupted.
“Teacher!! A teacher for a day is a father for life!”
“What I once promised, I will never change. My heart burns bright, and my will is unshakable. If I went back on my word, how could I face the family leader!!”
Su Yan said it loudly, the righteous spirit of youth stirring hearts — even Yao Chen, a soul-condensed expert, was moved to tears.
Perhaps it was this combination of accumulation and newfound clarity…
After regaining his original peak at Qi Transformation Great Completion, Su Yan broke through once more. S~eaʀᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
A silent breakthrough!
First stage of Meridian Unblocking!
Third stage of Meridian Unblocking!!
Finally stopping at the fifth stage of Meridian Unblocking!!
The once-dazzling genius had returned once more!!
Yao Chen sighed with emotion.
Then, looking up at the sky, countless laws appeared in his eyes — and there, in his vision, the black-clad old Zu stepped across the heavens.
Countless mysterious and terrifying divine runes were condensing in the skies.
“That one… must be an Emperor wandering the mortal world!!” Yao Chen couldn’t help but think.
For such a terrifying being to be merely a subordinate — that master could only be a true Emperor.
Su Yan not only knew gratitude but was the descendant of an Emperor. His future was simply unimaginable. If he could deepen his bond with Su Yan…
Not only would his revenge be within reach — he might even glimpse an even higher realm.
Thinking this, Yao Chen couldn’t help but smile. “Yan’er.”
“Yes, Master?”
“From now on, we each speak our own terms. You call me Master, I’ll call you Brother!”
“Huh???”
“What, you’re not happy? I’m still over a thousand years older than you… okay, fine, I’ll call you Big Brother then!!”
