……

Inside the Duke of Chang'an's mansion, the scent of agarwood lingered in the silence.

Accompanied by Chen Cong, Chen Hong sat at the lower end of the table and reported the family's decision to Bo Xian'er, who was sitting in a chair. The report was about the joint meeting of twelve departments and the movements related to Haotian Sect and Xuanhuang Tang Family.

Bo Xian'er closed her eyes and listened quietly, seemingly absorbed in a deeper deduction.

She didn't deliberately exude any pressure, but her demeanor was as calm and profound as an unfathomable ocean.

suddenly--

"Hmm?" A very soft murmur, tinged with surprise as if confirming something, escaped from her lips.

Bo Xian'er, who had been keeping her eyes closed like an ice sculpture, suddenly lifted her eyelashes.

A gaze as deep as the starry sea pierced through the void in an instant, heading straight towards the core area of ​​the Chen family in the northeast of the continent.

This subtle movement and sound brought Chen Hong to an abrupt halt.

He subconsciously followed Bo Xian'er's gaze, but only felt a deep silence—the fluctuations were too pure and too restrained for him to easily perceive.

Bo Xian'er's gaze froze on a certain point in space.

She tilted her head slightly, her exquisite face devoid of any exaggerated expression, only revealing a clear understanding of the root cause and a hint of barely perceptible...relief between her brows?
Her fingertips unconsciously touched the edge of the heated chair.

An extremely subtle and highly refined sharp intention, like an invisible ray of light piercing the starry night, disregarding all material and energy barriers, was instantly captured by her.

This fluctuation was not an ordinary energy surge during the advancement of a martial soul, but rather a kind of... transformation that pushed the concept of one's "existence" to a higher level.

Bo Xian'er's lips curled up very slightly, not with joy, but more like the confirmation of a seasoned chess player seeing the most crucial piece finally move to its intended position according to the plan.

"Zixiu, it's done." Her voice remained ethereal and calm, without the slightest ripple, as if stating a natural fact as the sunrise and sunset.

"His Seven Kill Sword... finally broke through that top-grade ninth-rank 'Heavenly Barrier' that had blocked your Chen family for more than twenty generations."

That's right, the last breakthrough was achieved by Chen Feiyi, the ancestor of ZTE in the 21st generation.

She didn't use "breakthrough," but rather "sever," a unique description that precisely points out how the Seven Kill Sword breaks through its limits.

From the top-tier ninth rank to the super... this 'barrier' has been broken.

You can hear a needle drop in the hall.

……

The shock on Chen Hong's face had just turned into ecstasy, and he hadn't even had a chance to speak—

"Father's Seven Kill Sword... is complete?!" Chen Cong, standing beside him, suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

He immediately closed his eyes, calmed his entire soul power, and raised his perception to the limit, trying to capture something.

The main hall was completely silent.

Yes, apart from those supreme beings whose martial souls have reached the super or god level, it is not entirely impossible for others to sense that fluctuation.

However, the probability is extremely slim, so small as to be negligible.

Those top-tier Soul Masters who could detect a clue mostly relied on their own Martial Soul perception, which happened to coincide with the subtle resonance of the laws of heaven and earth triggered during the breakthrough. Chen Cong, as a Title Douluo, was extremely sensitive to energy trajectories (a master of formations), and more importantly, he not only possessed the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, but was also Chen Zixiu's biological son!
The throbbing sensation emanating from the depths of his blood was like a faint echo from afar. Although it had been greatly attenuated by the distance and was now very blurry and weak, he still managed to detect a hint of something... special.

It was an indescribable feeling, not a clear energy trajectory or a powerful impact, but more like an extremely subtle resonance and throbbing originating from the depths of one's blood.

He couldn't comprehend its mysteries, nor could he grasp its specific origins or meaning; he simply instinctively sensed that an important change had occurred, one that was connected to his own roots.

As for Chen Hong, a titled Douluo from the same clan separated by dozens of generations of blood ties, although he also possessed the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, his perception was much weaker. He was left with only a vague, fleeting sense of bewilderment, which could not form an effective perception at all.

At this moment, the titled Douluo of the Chen family scattered across the continent all experienced similar, extremely faint bloodline connections.

This sensation is limited to the owner of the Chen family's Seven Kill Sword, who is at the Title Douluo level.

Only by reaching the level of unity between the real and the virtual can one initially realize the Martial Soul's response to energy and rules, and only then can one trigger the slightest resonance between one's own bloodline and Martial Soul under the strong disturbance of specific laws of heaven and earth.

Just then, Bo Xian'er's calm and confident voice broke the silence: "There's no mistake."

At this moment, Bo Xian'er's tone was devoid of any doubt, only a penetrating confirmation: "That 'slashing force' that broke through the barrier was hidden in the void, its sharpness contained its spirit... This mark is unique and there is no mistake about it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cong's excitement subsided slightly, and he turned to ask a more profound question: "Father's Seven Kill Sword has finally taken the most crucial step. Then... Mother, did Father also advance to the Peerless Douluo level during this breakthrough?"

"According to the family records, it took the ancestors Xi Li and Fei Yi about three years to completely merge themselves with the rules and advance to the peerless realm."

"And Father has been exploring this realm for nearly four years..."

He looked at Bo Xian'er with a questioning gaze, for this question concerned the future of the Chen family.

Above the Title Douluo level, each level is like an insurmountable chasm.

Bo Xian'er's aura, as deep as the sea, froze almost imperceptibly for a moment, before a complex and understanding smile appeared on her face.

"Well, Zixiu and I have analyzed it." Her voice remained calm. "There are roughly two reasons."

"Firstly, back then, when his soul power was not yet at level 98 and had not yet reached perfection, he had already comprehended 'Shattering the Void'."

"Although he is exceptionally talented, he is also slightly lacking in the depth of integration between his soul power foundation and the rules. It is like trying to build a magnificent building before the foundation is solid. The integration process will naturally take longer."

She paused, her eyes revealing agreement with her beloved great-grandson's words: "Secondly, as that boy Xiaojun often says, 'Space is king, time is supreme.'"

"Your father's rule of 'shattering the void' is essentially based on space, but it is also subtly tainted with some taboo elements related to time."

"The law of spacetime is one of the most profound and powerful laws in this world."

"The closer you get to the source, the higher and more difficult the 'threshold' to cross to integrate its rules will naturally become."

Bo Xian'er's expression regained its composure: "However—"

She looked at Chen Cong, her words filled with comfort and certainty, "Whether Zixiu has reached level 99 or not, the fact that the Seven Kill Sword has broken through to the Super Martial Soul level is undeniable proof that his understanding of 'Shattering the Void' has reached a new height."

"The Martial Soul is the purest manifestation of a Soul Master's soul and will. According to Xiao Jun's concept of 'essence, energy, and spirit,' this is a qualitative leap in the 'divine' aspect of a Soul Master."

"With this newly transformed 'super' Seven Kill Sword as the nexus and anchor of his soul and power, even if he hasn't broken through to level 99 yet, he's probably not far off..."

A confident smile curved her lips as she declared decisively, "The speed at which I integrate the rules and break through to the pinnacle will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"
