The child’s life force was powerful, brimming with a thunderous energy. Shen Wang reached out to place his hand on the child, checking thoroughly.
Clearly a newborn, yet the energy contained within was no less than that of an Innate Grandmaster, with vigorous life force and a mysterious thunder energy circulating within, not like an ordinary mortal body.
The most impressive was how the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi naturally converged towards him, entering his body with each breath, as if he was born with the ability to cultivate through breathing.
"This little one’s talent... it might surpass that of Yun Lingshu."
Shen Wang was astonished. If he weren’t a baby, he would probably start cultivating immediately.
Shen Chuxue was also observing this new little brother with great surprise by his side.
"I didn’t expect such an Innate Spiritual Vein to be born in the Lower Realm. This brother’s talent is even better than mine; his achievements in the future will not be small."
Shen Chuxue murmured in her heart, thinking that such talent is not too special in the Upper Realm, as many descendants of ancient great clans can reach this level.
But here, in a Lower Realm where Spiritual Qi is much thinner, it is extremely rare, considered top-tier talent.
"This Innate Spirit Pattern is very similar to that lineage. Could it be that the Yun Family is of that bloodline?"
Shen Chuxue thought of a powerful race she had seen in a past life, lost in thought.
"Husband, this child should be an Innate Spiritual Vein."
Zheng Yunshu suddenly spoke. As a descendent of the Zheng Family, her knowledge was broad: "This is the most top-tier talent in the entire Cultivation Realm."
"Innate Spiritual Vein..."
Shen Wang had some impression: "It’s like those who awaken bloodline power innately, with great potential for development."
"Yes, such geniuses start absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth while still in the womb. After birth, the Innate Spiritual Vein helps them naturally absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to strengthen themselves, giving them a much higher starting point than others."
Zheng Yunshu nodded: "Even those with Spirit Blood inheritance can only play a role after awakening, incomparable to those who function from the womb."
"Wow, then he will be a great genius in the future."
Lan Kui giggled, poking the baby’s tender little hand: "You are a great genius."
Paper Kite, having recovered some strength, was all smiles. With such outstanding talent, the child wouldn’t have to toil as hard as she did to enter the Martial Dao.
Jia’Er felt a bit complicated; her child had no Spirit Root, was of average talent, and compared to this brother, the difference was like clouds and mud.
"No matter the talent, they are our children and must contribute to this family in the future."
Shen Wang smiled: "This child possesses Thunder Spirit Bloodline naturally, let’s call him Jingzhe."
With naming experience, Shen Wang directly picked from the solar terms, unlike those Yun Family people who chose names like Xuan Ting or Tianlei.
"Shen Jingzhe, sounds pretty good."
Paper Kite was very satisfied with the name.
Lan Kui started teasing the baby.
Shen Wang secretly checked the situation of this son in the system.
[Talent: Top level, top-grade Thunder Spirit Root, Innate Thunder Spirit Bloodline]
[Others: Has Wind Spirit Bloodline Power]
As expected, the system’s evaluation was also top-level, indeed very outstanding.
However, the better this little one’s talent, the more resources he would need in the future. He, as a father, must strive to earn resources.
Of course, that’s still a long way off; let’s deal with the current matters first.
"Jia’Er, you take care of Paper Kite and the children, Shu’Er and Lan Kui, you come with me."
Shen Wang hadn’t forgotten the enemies outside, leaving some Spiritual Essence for Paper Kite to slowly absorb, then stood up and spoke solemnly.
He did not speak in the room; instead, he took the two women outside and said, "There are some vicious dogs outside that need dealing with. Lan Kui, you are the last shield for them."
The two women’s faces changed, and Lan Kui nodded vigorously: "I will protect everyone with all my strength."
"No rush, when I fall, then you come."
Zheng Yunshu said seriously: "Is it them who came?"
"Yes, I didn’t think it through and got discovered."
Shen Wang nodded: "Luckily, there’s the Void Sect’s Dao Array for protection, plus the Array I set up, and your set of Array arrangements. I can play around with them for a while."
"How were we discovered? I saw, husband, you were quite careful."
Zheng Yunshu was puzzled. The most update n0vels are published on novel•fire.net
"It should be that top-grade Magic Pill."
Shen Wang speculated, "Such grade of Elixir is precious for Golden Core Cultivators, how could Yun Family people not take some precautions? I just wasn’t experienced enough to recognize it."
He was a bit dissatisfied, after all, he was a Grandmaster of Talismanic Magic.
"Not your fault, husband. The mana imprint of Golden Core Cultivators is very special, hard to detect unless at the same level."
Zheng Yunshu comforted, with some regret: "It’s a pity I can’t use my cultivation right now, otherwise I could help you."
"You should be able to help me."
Shen Wang smiled meaningfully as he had just partially investigated the Jade Scroll his daughter gave him, which indeed contained what he wanted.
The Jade Scroll had restrictions, but seemingly due to the time elapsed, the strength of the restrictions was not too troublesome for him, easily breaking them to roughly browse through its contents.
He took out the Jade Scroll, handing it to Zheng Yunshu: "This was obtained at the mountaintop, it contains Daoist Array Manuals, and information about the Core Dao Array at the summit. Your level is higher than mine, so the task of studying it is yours for now, while I go deal with some intruders."
Zheng Yunshu’s Spiritual Power couldn’t be used, but her Spiritual Sense was not greatly affected and could study arrays. Critically, her level was high enough to absorb and master the Dao Arrays recorded in the Jade Scroll faster than him.
With some gains, she could guide him to break the array or even control the core Dao Array; at worst, provide an alternative path for retreat, just in case.
If he could control the core Dao Array, chuckle, he would let the wild dogs outside taste why flowers are so red.
"Husband, you actually got this thing!"
Zheng Yunshu’s eyes shone with excitement.
She had studied this Dao Array for a month, already gaining significant insights, able to deduce how strong the array was here and its high level.
Knowing this, she became more interested, especially now with the situation very much needing these.
"Don’t worry, husband, I will go all out."
Zheng Yunshu said earnestly.
"No need for too much pressure, this is just an additional arrangement."
Shen Wang placed the Jade Scroll in Zheng Yunshu’s hand, telling Lan Kui: "Watch over Shu’Er as a Dharma Protector, I’ll handle the ones outside."
"Rest assured, husband."
Zheng Yunshu didn’t say much more, took the Jade Scroll, walked to a pavilion, and began to research directly with her Spiritual Sense entering it.
Lan Kui stood beside, vigilantly protecting her.
Shen Wang watched with a smile, feeling fortunate to have these women. None were burdens; all were working together for this family.
As this family’s pillar, it was natural for him to stand up in times .
He strode out of the Array Barrier. There was considerable noise in the distance; a group had already intruded, led by a flash of lightning and a blaze of fire, closing in assertively.
Shen Wang clenched his fist: "Golden Core Cultivators, huh? The Celestial Thunder Pearl was quite powerful before, now that my cultivation has risen a Small Realm, I want to try them again!"
In a flash, he disappeared from the front of the array, and then the Array Barrier and courtyard vanished in a twist of air, hiding away.
On the mountainside, several mansion-like cave dwellings lay around. Those who wished to attack him would have to find them first.
Before that, it was time for his hunt.
No matter how fierce a pride of lions, in the jungle, a couple of them still had to be bitten to death by a tiger.
In the edge area of Kunyu Mountain’s Ninth Peak, the weather was tumultuous, alternating between storms and mist.
More than thirty cultivators divided into two groups, entering as if tossing stones into a calm lake, unable to settle the ripples.
The storm and mist, though not deadly, greatly delayed the group’s progress; most critically, the chaotic Power of Heaven and Earth severely hampered perception and vision, making it difficult for them to investigate the situation, even causing separation if not careful.
Forced, they stayed close, but this only drew more Array Power.
It’s not bad at the edges, but the closer they got, the greater the disturbance, and even Foundation Establishment Cultivators found it difficult to resist.
"Tianlei, this should be the Void Sect’s Dao Array, capable of drawing the power of all things in heaven and earth. The array’s coverage is too vast; the stronger the power, the bigger the disturbance, thus force must be restrained, or resisting becomes more troublesome."
