Chapter 23: Frantic Breakthrough, Explosive Surge in Combat Power.

Just at that moment, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the rear mountain of the Ye Family.

Everyone was startled at first, and then Ye Wushang reacted immediately.

With a wave of his hand, the Grade Nine Spirit Gathering Array activated, instantly concealing the aura.

Seeing this, several elders couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Patriarch, this is…?”

Ye Wushang, seeing they were all his people, didn’t hide anything and directly smiled, “It should be Qingge awakening the Vermilion Bird bloodline!”

Hiss~!

As soon as he said that, the elders were once again shocked.

None of them had expected that this second wife would possess the Vermilion Bird bloodline.

The Vermilion Bird was an ancient sacred beast, rumored to be a terrifying existence that could burn the heavens with a single flame.

Anyone connected to such a beast was an undisputed top-tier genius.

Just thinking that the Ye Family would soon gain another elite talent made them all extremely excited.

At the same time, their respect for Ye Wushang reached new heights.

The first wife was once a holy maiden, and now the second wife had awakened the Vermilion Bird bloodline—her prospects were limitless.

The Patriarch wasn’t just powerful himself; his eye for choosing wives was also truly rare in this world!

Without further pleasantries, Ye Wushang led them directly to the rear mountain, waiting for Zhao Qingge to complete her awakening.

By the time they arrived, Yue Rushuang was already there.

She held two children in her arms—Ye Zifeng and Ye Zhiran.

Beside her, the not-yet-four-year-old Ye Zhixin was holding Ye Zilan’s hand, standing obediently to the side.

Seeing this, Ye Wushang hurried forward and took one child into his arms, then patted Ye Zhixin’s head and praised her.

The praise from her father made the tiny, chubby child beam with joy. Her delicate little face—having perfectly inherited Yue Rushuang’s beauty, curved into a sweet smile that was utterly adorable.

More than half a day passed.

Finally, accompanied by the cry of a flaming red Vermilion Bird illusion soaring into the sky, a clear chirp echoed in everyone’s ears.

Immediately after, they saw a woman with a graceful figure dressed in fiery red garments, drawing everyone’s attention.

Her curvaceous body, combined with the residual glow of recent childbirth, appeared incredibly alluring.

Between her brows, a flame-red vermilion bird mark faintly flickered.

Having awakened the Vermilion Bird bloodline, Zhao Qingge not only directly broke through to the Core Formation Realm, but her beauty had also increased a notch.

Previously, she was slightly less striking than Yue Rushuang, but now she could be considered on equal footing—each with her own merits.

“Husband!”

She looked at Ye Wushang with deep affection, her eyes filled with undisguised gratitude and emotion.

If it weren’t for Ye Wushang, she might never have awakened her bloodline in this lifetime.

Hearing her words, Ye Wushang smiled, “Now that you’re also a top-tier talent, you don’t need to envy your sister Rushuang anymore, right?”

Hearing that, Zhao Qingge immediately stamped her foot in shy frustration.

Although she had never said it aloud, both Ye Wushang and Yue Rushuang knew she cared deeply about her lack of cultivation talent.

Now that she had awakened the Vermilion Bird bloodline, she might even be able to summon or transform into the Vermilion Bird to fight in the future. Her comprehension of fire-based techniques and martial skills would also greatly improve.

In the future, even if she couldn’t surpass Ye Wushang and Yue Rushuang, catching up was entirely possible.

Seeing this, Yue Rushuang glared at Ye Wushang, then handed the children to him and pulled Zhao Qingge aside to whisper quietly.

Seeing this, Ye Wushang could only shake his head helplessly.

But holding four children in his arms, he felt both exhausted and blessed.

Looking at his eldest and second child acting so innocently before him, Ye Wushang couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.

Yue Rushuang was perfect in every way, except for being too strict with the children.

She raised the eldest daughter as a proper noble lady, instilling etiquette, manners, and eloquence from a young age.

The second child, being the eldest son, was nurtured as the heir apparent.

This also suppressed their innate childlike nature.

Ye Wushang had brought this up before, but was immediately rebutted by Yue Rushuang.

He understood that in nearly every major clan of the Eternal World, this was how heirs and legitimate children were trained.

So whenever he had time, he would take the kids out to play on his own.

As a result, the two little ones became very attached to him, because only in his presence could they act like real children.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but gently pat their little heads with heartache.

He spent half a month accompanying his wife and children properly.

In the end, when neither Yue Rushuang nor Zhao Qingge could persuade him to stay, they kicked him out in bashful frustration.

He even overheard them considering the idea of helping Ye Wushang take in more concubines.

But Ye Wushang rejected them all.

He really wasn’t interested in ordinary women.

Returning to his cultivation chamber and looking at the remaining 700,000 Fate Points, he decided to give himself a proper power-up.

Among the martial techniques rewarded by the system this time were a blade technique and a movement skill.

Without hesitation, he spent 100,000 Fate Points to upgrade both to the Great Perfection level.

After the upgrade, his understanding of blade techniques reached an even higher level.

Without stopping, he used the remaining Fate Points to improve his cultivation level.

[Consumed 80,000 Fate Points. Your cultivation has advanced to Heaven Phenomenon Realm Level Five!].

[Consumed 100,000 Fate Points. Your cultivation has advanced to Heaven Phenomenon Realm Level Six!].

[Consumed 150,000 Fate Points. Your cultivation has advanced to Heaven Phenomenon Realm Level Seven!].

[Consumed 250,000 Fate Points. Your cultivation has advanced to Heaven Phenomenon Realm Level Eight!].

In an instant, his cultivation skyrocketed, causing his combat strength to surge by more than just one level.

At this moment, he felt that even against an ordinary Purple Palace Realm expert, he had the power to fight.

For a top-tier talent like him, every breakthrough in cultivation brought an earth-shaking increase in combat power.

By the end of this session, he had only 20,000 Fate Points left.

To rise further, he’d have to keep collecting more.

Fortunately, after another half-month of conquests, both of his wives were pregnant again.

This time, Yue Rushuang conceived first, followed by Zhao Qingge.

However, their due dates shouldn’t be more than a few days apart.

During this period, Ye Wushang never once left the Ye Family.

Yet the legends about him had already spread across the entire Great Xia Dynasty. Even the royal family knew that an invincible sword cultivator had emerged in Great Xia.

Time passed slowly, and another three months slipped by.

During this time, Ye Wushang spent his days watching his children grow and only cultivated at night.

Until one day, the arrival of a group of people disrupted this peaceful life…
