Chapter 119: The Family’s Foundation Grows Stronger
The Family’s Foundation Grows Stronger
Morning sunlight bathed Sovereign Peak in a warm golden glow.
A gentle breeze drifted through the mountain, carrying the rich fragrance of spiritual herbs. Mist lingered among the ancient cliffs while birds circled peacefully overhead, giving no hint of the tremendous transformation that had taken place only hours earlier.
Inside the cultivation pavilion, Victor slowly opened his golden eyes.
The overwhelming aura that had surrounded him throughout the night had completely settled.
His body had fully adapted to the newly awakened Emperor’s Bloodline.
He slowly rose to his feet, his long shoulder-length black hair falling naturally behind him. The black robe embroidered with majestic golden dragons fluttered gently as he stretched one hand before him.
His fingers closed into a fist.
He could clearly feel the unimaginable strength flowing through every muscle, every bone, and every drop of blood.
Compared to yesterday...
His physical body had advanced yet another level.
Without relying on spiritual power...
Without using any cultivation technique...
Without activating the Absolute Destruction Art...
He could now shatter Earth-rank treasures with nothing more than the strength of his bare hands.
It was an almost unbelievable level of physical power.
Feeling that absolute strength coursing through his body, Victor couldn’t help but smile.
Anyone else who possessed such power might become intoxicated by it.
But Victor remained perfectly calm.
He understood one simple truth.
The Celestial Dawn Empire...
The land where he currently stood...
Was merely an insignificant kingdom hidden within a remote corner of a single Great Domain.
Beyond it lay countless stronger kingdoms.
Countless ancient clans.
Countless supreme sects.
Above those were the Nine Heavens...
The Ten Earths...
And the Three Thousand Great Domains.
Compared to that boundless world...
Everything he had achieved until now was only the beginning.
A starting line.
Nothing more.
His golden eyes shone with unwavering determination.
"Since fate has brought me into this world..."
"I will climb to the very peak."
"I will stand above the Nine Heavens."
"I will overlook the Ten Earths."
"I will become the ruler standing at the summit of the Three Thousand Great Domains."
His voice was calm.
Yet every word carried absolute conviction.
Only after calming his thoughts did Victor shift his attention toward the Eternal Legacy System once more.
A translucent screen quietly appeared before his eyes.
His gaze settled upon the newly unlocked reward.
The Family Resource Pack.
After the Salvatore Family’s Family Luck had surpassed thirty thousand, this reward had finally become available.
Victor didn’t hesitate.
"Open it."
The system immediately responded.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained: Sovereign Boundary Monument Warning Obelisk!]
[Sovereign Boundary Monument Warning Obelisk: Place it before the family’s territory. Once recognized with a drop of divine blood, it will radiate endless heavenly pressure, establishing the dignity of the clan.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained: Eternal Guardian Array!]
[Eternal Guardian Array: A supreme protective formation capable of covering the entire family territory. Every individual harboring hostile intentions will be instantly revealed. Anyone daring to attack shall be punished by heavenly lightning.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have obtained: Red Soul Tree!]
[Red Soul Tree: An ancient divine tree with a pitch-black trunk and crimson leaves. It continuously nurtures Red Soul Spiritual Essence. Cultivating beneath it greatly improves comprehension and grants a chance to awaken the Celestial Wood Divine Body.]
Victor quietly examined the three treasures.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Unlike previous rewards that mainly strengthened individual members of the Salvatore Family...
These rewards focused entirely on strengthening the family’s foundation.
Each one perfectly addressed the family’s current needs.
The Sovereign Boundary Monument Warning Obelisk would establish the prestige and dignity of the Salvatore Family.
The Eternal Guardian Array would transform Sovereign Blessed Land into an impregnable fortress.
The Red Soul Tree would steadily improve the cultivation speed and potential of every clansman.
The Eternal Legacy System truly seemed to understand exactly what the Salvatore Family needed at every stage of its growth.
Without wasting another moment, Victor calmly waved his sleeve.
"Place them all."
The rewards disappeared from the system storage.
The moment Victor gave the command...
The three supreme treasures disappeared from the Eternal Legacy System.
No violent explosion shook the heavens.
No dazzling light illuminated the world.
Everything happened in complete silence.
Yet the entire Sovereign Blessed Land began undergoing an astonishing transformation.
Far above the mountains, invisible runes quietly spread across the sky.
They expanded farther and farther, covering every valley, every forest, every river, and every cultivation ground belonging to the Salvatore Family.
In only a few moments...
The Eternal Guardian Array had completely enveloped the entire territory.
Its countless formation runes merged seamlessly with heaven and earth before vanishing from sight.
To an ordinary cultivator, nothing had changed.
But any person carrying even the slightest malicious intent toward the Salvatore Family would instantly be detected the moment they crossed the boundary.
Should they attempt to attack...
The array would answer with heavenly lightning without mercy.
It was now the family’s invisible guardian.
At the foot of Sovereign Peak...
The earth suddenly trembled gently.
Rumble...
Ancient roots burst from deep beneath the mountain.
The ground slowly split apart as an enormous tree rose toward the heavens.
Its trunk was as black as the deepest abyss, rough with countless ancient patterns that seemed to have existed since the beginning of time.
Unlike ordinary trees, its leaves were a brilliant crimson.
Each leaf glowed softly like burning rubies, swaying gently in the morning breeze.
Tiny crimson wisps of spiritual essence drifted endlessly from its branches, filling the surrounding air with a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere.
This was the...
Red Soul Tree.
The moment it fully emerged, the spiritual energy throughout the surrounding area became noticeably denser.
Every breath taken beneath its branches felt refreshing.
Every heartbeat became calmer.
Every wandering thought grew clearer.
Several Salvatore Family disciples who happened to be cultivating nearby slowly opened their eyes.
One young disciple blinked in surprise.
"Why does it suddenly feel so much easier to comprehend my cultivation scripture?"
