The Fortune That Descends from Heaven (Part 2)
"Uncle!"
"I absolutely won’t disappoint your expectations!"
Among the gathered clan members, Nux Salvatore stood quietly with his saber resting at his side.
At first glance, he appeared no different from the other young disciples.
Yet anyone with sharp perception could sense the terrifying killing intent hidden deep within his crimson eyes.
During the extermination of the Ashthorn Family and the Ravencreast Family, he had fought with unmatched ferocity, personally cutting down numerous enemies.
Although he had only recently broken through to the Arcane Meridian Realm, the tremendous slaughter had once again pushed his cultivation to the edge of another breakthrough.
His Abyssal Bodhi Slaughter Physique quietly refined the killing intent around him, transforming every battle into nourishment for his growth.
Looking toward Victor seated above everyone else, Nux silently clenched his fists.
I will become stronger.
One day, I’ll be worthy of standing beside Uncle.
Not far away, Damien Salvatore stood among several children of similar age.
Unlike the others, however, his expression was unusually complicated.
His dark eyes never left Victor’s figure.
"Patriarch..."
"Just who are you?"
"The difference between this life and my previous one..."
"...is simply too great."
His fists tightened unconsciously.
He could clearly feel the surging power flowing through every drop of his blood.
Only yesterday, he had been at the First Layer of the Mortal Forging Realm.
Now...
He had already reached the Fifth Layer.
Such cultivation speed was nothing short of miraculous.
He was only thirteen years old.
In the Celestial Dawn Empire, most young people did not possess sufficient vitality to begin cultivation until they reached sixteen.
Yet Damien had already reached the Fifth Layer of the Mortal Forging Realm before turning fourteen.
Even among the empire’s greatest sects, such talent would be considered monstrous.
But Damien understood something clearly.
His natural talent was exceptional...
Yet the greatest reason behind his astonishing progress was the cultivation scripture Victor had bestowed upon him.
The Four Seasons Hidden Spring Scripture.
Every time he circulated it, his blood refined itself almost automatically.
When combined with the Eternal Tribulation Sword sleeping within his body, his cultivation speed became so terrifying that even Damien struggled to believe it.
"This scripture is probably beyond even a Peak Earth-Rank cultivation technique..."
During his previous life, he had once risked everything to obtain a Low Earth-Rank cultivation art.
Back then, he had treasured it more than his own life.
Yet compared to the scripture Victor had casually handed him...
That former treasure wasn’t even worth mentioning.
Damien couldn’t help smiling bitterly.
"It might make a decent table leg."
The thought almost made him laugh.
More than once, he had secretly wondered whether his Patriarch was truly the reincarnation of an Eternal Emperor.
Otherwise...
How could someone possess so many unimaginable treasures?
Naturally, Victor paid no attention to the countless thoughts running through everyone’s minds.
Instead, he slowly lifted his head.
His golden eyes pierced through the sea of clouds above the Salvatore Family estate.
There... freewёbnoνel.com
Far beyond ordinary sight...
A magnificent golden dragon stretched across the heavens.
Its body measured tens of thousands of feet in length.
Every scale shone like forged divine gold.
Its pair of eyes resembled blazing suns.
Each movement of its enormous body caused invisible currents of fortune to ripple across heaven and earth.
The dragon raised its noble head proudly before releasing a deep, majestic roar that only Victor could hear.
The Celestial Destiny Dragon had awakened.
Countless streams of golden destiny continuously descended from its body like rivers of light.
They poured into every corner of the Salvatore Family estate.
Invisible blessings quietly merged with the destiny of every clan member.
Good fortune.
Unexpected opportunities.
Hidden inheritances.
Fortuitous encounters.
All of them silently began converging toward the Salvatore Family.
Victor watched everything with calm interest.
"So..."
"This is the Celestial Destiny Dragon."
He could already sense the invisible changes taking place.
The five hundred Family Fortune points had truly unlocked an extraordinary blessing.
As the enormous dragon soared higher into the heavens, the destinies of many clan members quietly evolved.
Victor’s system immediately responded.
Several white destiny lights appeared throughout the crowd.
Then two green lights emerged shortly afterward.
Only those blessed by heaven possessed a visible Destiny Grade.
Previously, within the entire Salvatore Family, only Max Salvatore, Nux Salvatore, and Damien Salvatore possessed such qualifications.
Now...
That number had begun to increase.
Victor nodded slightly.
"So increasing Family Fortune can directly improve the destiny of my clan."
Just then, the Eternal Legacy System echoed once again.
[Detected White-Grade Family Member. Legacy Investment available.]
[Detected Green-Grade Family Member. Legacy Investment available.]
[Detected White-Grade Family Member. Legacy Investment available.]
The notifications continued sounding one after another.
Victor merely smiled before waving his sleeve.
His calm gaze swept across every member of the Salvatore Family.
Pride.
Excitement.
Hope.
Every emotion was reflected in their eyes.
His voice carried calmly across the courtyard.
"The Ashthorn Family and the Ravencreast Family have fallen."
"You have all fought well."
"The Salvatore Family has always rewarded merit and punished faults fairly."
He slowly rose from his seat.
His black robe embroidered with golden dragons fluttered gently in the autumn wind as moonlight illuminated his tall figure.
The entire courtyard instantly became silent.
Every pair of eyes focused upon him.
Then Victor spoke once more.
"Now..."
"Let us distribute rewards according to contribution!"
