All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

Chapter 752 Mother is the Best
Chu Yang held his wife's hand: "My wife, your kindness is a good thing, but in this world where the strong rule, sometimes kindness needs strength to protect it."

“I understand,” Fengyin nodded. “If something like this happens again, I won’t blame Yan’er.”

Chu Yan happily hugged his mother: "Mom is the best!"

The next morning, just as the first light of dawn appeared in the east, Chu Yang got up to begin instructing Chu Yan in his cultivation.

"Yan'er, wake up," Chu Yang gently knocked on his son's door. "Starting today, Father will personally guide your cultivation."

Sounds soon came from the room; Chu Yan had clearly been awake for some time, simply waiting for his father's summons. The door opened, and Chu Yan, already dressed, stood there, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

"Father, I'm ready!" Chu Yan clenched his little fist, his eyes shining with determination.

Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction. Yesterday's events seemed to have truly helped the child mature a lot. He was no longer the little boy who would only cuddle in his mother's arms, but had begun to have his own pride and dignity.

“Very good,” Chu Yang said, “Let’s go to the training ground on the back mountain; it’s more suitable for cultivation.”

The back mountains of Yingzhou Island are sparsely populated, with beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy, making it an ideal place for cultivation. The father and son soon arrived at an open grassland surrounded by mountains, with a flat area in the center, which was a training ground specially set up by Chu Yang.

"Yan'er, before you officially begin your cultivation, Father needs to check your current progress," Chu Yang said. "Show me how you circulate your cultivation technique."

Chu Yan nodded, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his internal energy. As the energy circulated, a faint fiery red light began to emanate from his body, a manifestation of his phoenix bloodline. At the same time, wisps of golden light flickered in and out, likely the fusion of his human bloodline and the laws of fire.

Chu Yang carefully observed his son's cultivation state and nodded inwardly. Chu Yan's talent was indeed remarkable; at such a young age, he had already grasped the basics of the Fire Law, and the bloodlines of the human and phoenix races were well integrated without any rejection.

But at that moment, Chu Yang suddenly noticed something unusual. As Chu Yan's cultivation technique progressed deeper, his eyes began to change.

Golden-red light began to appear in the originally black pupils. This light was not a simple color change, but rather seemed to flow within the pupils as if it were alive. What was even more peculiar was that this change was asymmetrical; the change was more pronounced in the left eye, with a more intense golden-red light, while the light in the right eye was relatively fainter.

"Heterochromatic eyes?" Chu Yang was shocked. He had seen this before, but that was in...
Suddenly, an image flashed through Chu Yang's mind. When the Archaeopteryx appeared in the Nirvana Pool of the Southern Ming Fire Sea, its eyes were just like that, golden-red, radiating an ancient and mysterious light.

"How is this possible?" Chu Yang was so shocked he could barely speak.

How could the eye characteristics of the Archaeopteryx appear on Chu Yan? It should be known that the Archaeopteryx was the progenitor of the Phoenix clan, and its bloodline characteristics had been lost for countless years. Even in the current Phoenix clan, no one possesses the eye characteristics of the Archaeopteryx.

Chu Yan noticed his father had suddenly stopped instructing him, opened his eyes, and asked in confusion, "Father, what's wrong?"

The moment Chu Yan opened his eyes, Chu Yang became even more certain of his judgment. The golden-red light flowing in those heterochromatic eyes was exactly the same as that of the Archaeopteryx, filled with an ancient, mysterious, and powerful aura.

"Yan'er, your...your eyes..." Chu Yang stammered, somewhat incoherently.

Chu Yan was confused and touched his eyes, asking, "What's wrong with my eyes? Is there something wrong?"

Chu Yang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Yan'er, can you feel any change in your eyes?"

Chu Yan carefully sensed it for a moment, then nodded and said, "It is indeed somewhat different. I feel like I can see things more clearly than before, and it seems like I can see some things that I couldn't see before."

"What is it?" Chu Yang asked eagerly.

Chu Yan pointed to the distant mountains and forests: "There seem to be many golden specks of light dancing on those trees, and those stones also seem to have different colored lights inside."

Chu Yang looked in the direction his son pointed. They were all ordinary plants and minerals, and with his cultivation level, he could naturally discern the spiritual energy and law fluctuations contained within them. However, Chu Yan was just a child who had just begun cultivating, and theoretically, he shouldn't have such insight.

"Yan'er, look at me more closely," Chu Yang said. "Can you see anything unusual?"

Chu Yan looked intently at his father, then exclaimed in surprise, "Father, you have so many colors of light on you—golden, red, and a very special silver light. They flow within you; it's so beautiful!"

Chu Yang was utterly shocked. Chu Yan's description was completely accurate: gold was the manifestation of the Law of Time, red the Law of Fire, and silver the Law of Time-Fire he had recently comprehended. This insight had surpassed ordinary divine eye abilities; it was more like an instinct deep within his bloodline.

“This is definitely the awakening of the Archaeopteryx bloodline,” Chu Yang concluded in his heart, “but how is this possible? How could the Archaeopteryx bloodline appear in Yan’er?”

After careful consideration, Chu Yang considered a possibility. When he received the inheritance from the Archaeopteryx in the Nirvana Pool, the Archaeopteryx had said that its inheritance included not only techniques and supernatural abilities, but also the imprint of bloodline. Perhaps it was this bloodline imprint that was transmitted to Chu Yang in some way.

"If that's the case, then Yan'er's talent will be beyond imagination," Chu Yang thought, feeling both excited and worried.

The bloodline of Archaeopteryx represents the pinnacle of the Phoenix clan; those who possess this bloodline can theoretically reach the heights Archaeopteryx once attained. However, this also means that Chu Yan will face even greater challenges and dangers.

"Father, why are you staring at me?" Chu Yan asked, a little embarrassed.

Chu Yang snapped out of his reverie and smiled gently, "It's nothing, Father just noticed you've made great progress."

"Really?" Chu Yan asked excitedly.

“Of course it’s true,” Chu Yang nodded, “and your progress is even greater than your father imagined.”

As he spoke, Chu Yang began to consider his next cultivation plan. Now that Chu Yan had awakened the bloodline characteristics of the Archaeopteryx, the original cultivation method needed to be adjusted. He needed to be more cautious to ensure that Chu Yan could safely develop this bloodline power.

"Yan'er, starting today, we'll be using a different cultivation method," Chu Yang said. "This method might be more strenuous. Are you mentally prepared?"

Chu Yan nodded without hesitation: "I'm not afraid of hard work!"

“Very good,” Chu Yang said with satisfaction, “First, I will teach you how to control your special ability.”

"Special ability?" Chu Yan asked in confusion.

Chu Yang pointed to his eyes: "Those are the lights you just saw. This ability is very powerful, but also very dangerous. If you can't control it well, it could harm you."

Chu Yan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite: "Then what should I do?"

"First, you need to learn to restrain yourself," Chu Yang began to instruct carefully. "Try to restore your eyes to their normal color, and don't let those golden-red glints show."

Following his father's instructions, Chu Yan began trying to control the strange light in his eyes. At first, it was difficult; the golden-red light seemed to have its own consciousness and refused to be suppressed. But with Chu Yang's patient guidance, Chu Yan gradually mastered some techniques.

“Very good,” Chu Yang encouraged, “Now try to activate this ability only when needed.”

After a morning of practice, Chu Yan was able to basically control the appearance and concealment of his heterochromatic eyes. Although he wasn't quite proficient yet, at least he wouldn't attract attention in his daily life.

"Father, what exactly is this ability?" Chu Yan asked curiously. "Why do I have this ability?" Chu Yang pondered for a moment, then decided to tell his son part of the truth: "Yan'er, do you know about the ancestor of the Phoenix Clan?"

“I know a little,” Chu Yan nodded. “My mother said that the Archaeopteryx was the greatest being in the Phoenix clan, but it disappeared long ago.”

“That’s right,” Chu Yang said, “and the ability you just displayed is very likely related to Archaeopteryx.”

Chu Yan's eyes widened: "Really? Then I'm really amazing!"

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "Yan'er, you must remember, being powerful is a good thing, but it can also bring danger. If others find out that you possess the bloodline of the Archaeopteryx, it might attract unnecessary trouble."

Chu Yan nodded thoughtfully: "I understand. Just like yesterday, some people will cause trouble out of jealousy."

“That’s right,” Chu Yang said, looking at his son with satisfaction, “So until you have enough strength to protect yourself, this secret must be kept well.”

"When will I have enough strength?" Chu Yan asked.

Chu Yang thought for a moment: "At least one needs to reach the True Immortal realm to be able to protect oneself even in the basics."

"True Immortal Realm?" Chu Yan said, somewhat dejected. "That would take a very, very long time, wouldn't it?"

"Not necessarily," Chu Yang comforted him. "You have a special bloodline talent, which will make your cultivation speed much faster than ordinary people. As long as you work hard, you might reach that level in ten years."

Chu Yan rallied his spirits: "Then I must cultivate diligently!"

Looking at his son's resolute expression, Chu Yang was filled with mixed emotions. This child carried too many hopes and secrets; his future path was destined to be anything but smooth.

“Alright, let’s continue our cultivation,” Chu Yang said. “Now I’m going to teach you a new cultivation technique, one specifically designed for your bloodline characteristics.”

Chu Yang began to teach Chu Yan a modified version of the Phoenix Nirvana Technique. This technique incorporated the essence of the Archaeopteryx's heritage and was especially suitable for cultivators with Archaeopteryx bloodline characteristics.

"This cultivation technique is called the 'Primordial True Fire Technique'," Chu Yang explained. "It can not only help you improve your cultivation level, but also better develop your bloodline abilities."

Chu Yan diligently studied the operating route and mental incantations of the new cultivation technique. To Chu Yang's surprise, Chu Yan's comprehension of this technique was extremely fast, as if it had been prepared for him from the very beginning.

"Father, this cultivation technique is amazing!" Chu Yan said excitedly. "I feel it's perfectly suited to my body."

"That's because this technique was specially designed for your situation," Chu Yang said with a smile. "Practice it well, and you'll soon feel its power."

As the cultivation technique progressed, Chu Yan's aura began to change. What was originally a faint fiery red light became more intense, and within it, golden specks of light flickered—a manifestation of the Archaeopteryx bloodline.

What surprised Chu Yang even more was that Chu Yan's cultivation actually resonated with the surrounding spiritual energy. Fire-attribute spiritual energy from the distant mountains and forests began to gather in this direction, forming a small vortex of spiritual energy.

"This extraordinary phenomenon of heaven and earth..." Chu Yang looked at the changes around him in shock. "Yan'er's bloodline awakening level is even higher than I imagined."

Generally speaking, only those who have reached a considerably high level of cultivation can resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, Chu Yan is just a child who has just begun cultivating, yet he has already been able to do this, which shows that his bloodline talent is indeed extraordinary.

"Yan'er, slowly finish your practice," Chu Yang reminded her. "Don't be impatient when you're practicing a new technique for the first time."

Chu Yan slowly finished his practice following the instructions, and the spiritual energy gathered around him gradually dissipated. When he opened his eyes, his face was full of excitement and satisfaction.

"Father, I feel like I've become much stronger!" Chu Yan said happily.

Chu Yang carefully sensed his son's aura and found it had indeed improved significantly. At this rate, Chu Yan's cultivation speed would far surpass that of ordinary people.

"Very good, but cultivation must be done step by step," Chu Yang instructed. "That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow."

Although Chu Yan wanted to continue cultivating, he obediently stopped after hearing his father's words.

On his way home, Chu Yang kept thinking about Chu Yan's awakened bloodline. This discovery filled him with both excitement and worry. He was excited because Chu Yan's talent would be beyond imagination, and his future achievements would be limitless. He was worried because once this bloodline trait was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it would inevitably lead to a lot of trouble.

"It seems I need to be even more careful in protecting Yan'er," Chu Yang thought to himself. "This secret absolutely cannot be revealed until he has sufficient strength."

Back home, Fengyin was waiting in the courtyard. Seeing the father and son return, she quickly went to greet them.

"How is it? How is Yan'er's cultivation progressing?" Fengyin asked with concern.

Chu Yang glanced at Chu Yan and then said, "Very good, Yan'er's talent is even more outstanding than I imagined."

"Really?" Fengyin looked at her son happily. "Yan'er, you must keep up the good work."

Chu Yan nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely try my best!"

That evening, Chu Yang and Feng Yin discussed Chu Yan's situation privately. Of course, Chu Yang didn't tell his wife about the Archaeopteryx bloodline yet; he needed more time to confirm and think about it.

“Husband, I feel that Yan’er is a little different today,” Fengyin keenly noticed the change. “His aura is purer than before.”

Chu Yang nodded and said, "Indeed, Yan'er's bloodline is gradually awakening, which is a good thing."

"Do we need to make any special preparations?" Fengyin asked worriedly.

“Not for now,” Chu Yang reassured him. “I will closely monitor his condition and make sure everything is under control.”

The next day, Chu Yang continued to guide Chu Yan's cultivation. To his surprise, Chu Yan's mastery of the Ancestral True Fire Technique had significantly improved, and his control over his heterochromatic eyes was becoming increasingly proficient.

"Father, I've discovered I can see so much more!" Chu Yan exclaimed excitedly. "I can see the life force within those plants, and the mineral composition within the rocks, all very clearly."

Chu Yang nodded secretly; this was another manifestation of the awakening of the Archaeopteryx bloodline. As the progenitor of the Phoenix clan, the Archaeopteryx possessed the ability to perceive the essence of all things, and this ability was now manifesting in Chu Yan.

"Yan'er, this ability is precious, but you must use it with caution," Chu Yang warned. "Don't show it to others unless it's a matter of life and death."

Chu Yan nodded earnestly: "I understand, Father."

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded in the distance. Chu Yang turned his head and saw Feng Yin walking quickly towards them, a worried expression on her face.
