The fourth line!
The fifth line!!
The sixth line!!!
In an instant, three more ancient patterns appeared on that piece of ancient jade!!
The dazzling light made the entire hall as bright as day!
"Hmm?"
Chen Daoyan raised an eyebrow, then a look of relief appeared on his face.
Six ancient patterns...
This signifies that Chen Zhixing's talent has reached the level of a pillar of society.
The term 'pillar of society' does not mean average, but rather a mainstay!
A cultivator with the talent of a pillar of society, although not a prodigy, can be nurtured as an elite disciple in any sect or noble family!
Moreover.
Six ancient patterns are considered outstanding among the pillars of society.
It's just one pattern short of the prodigy level of seven ancient patterns.
"Hahaha, my son has six ancient patterns!"
Chen Tianliang couldn't help but laugh aloud.
Yingy Shuangshuang clenched her fists tightly, appearing somewhat excited.
In fact, six ancient patterns are nothing special, as a child of the Longevity Family, they had seen many such cases.
Especially for someone like Chen Tianliang, who had seen countless people as a True Self Realm expert.
But...
Through the lens of parental love, they were completely satisfied to the highest degree.
"What's so special about just six ancient patterns..." Chen Tianxiong couldn't help but mock.
Pah!
Chen Daoyan slapped the back of Chen Tianxiong's head and chided: "Why is your mouth like the crotch of woolen pants, always needing to comment on everything? No vision at all, can you even lead a family?"
Chen Tianxiong: "..."
I... Heaven knows! If Chen Tianliang hadn't always targeted me before, ignoring me as his elder brother, would I be like this?
Compared to everyone's varied expressions, only the three-year-old Chen Zhaosheng remained calm and composed throughout.
Before everyone could react.
On that ancient jade.
The seventh ancient pattern suddenly lit up!
"Seven ancient patterns, huh?"
Chen Daoyan's face showed a slight smile, and for the first time, he uttered the words "not bad."
"Seven ancient patterns, quite difficult to achieve, with proper nurturing by the family, it could become an influential force in the future."
"Our Zhaosheng will also have an additional helper in the future."
However.
Just as the seventh ancient pattern lit up.
The eighth dim ancient pattern brightened once more!!
In an instant!
Chen Daoyan's pupils contracted sharply.
Eight ancient patterns, already a peerless talent of dragon and phoenix!!
Placed in any sect or noble family, it would undoubtedly be among the very best!!
And both Chen Tianliang and Yingy Shuangshuang, after a brief dumbfounded moment, had their faces erupt with intense joy.
"Hehehehe, my child Chen Tianliang has eight ancient patterns?!"
Chen Tianliang's cheeks flushed red, feeling a cathartic release, wanting to shout to the heavens.
Eight ancient patterns!
This means that as long as the child encounters no major obstacles in the future, he is bound to achieve the True Self Realm!
In this world, what could be more satisfying than a father witnessing his child's success with his own eyes?
Then.
He glanced from the corner of his eye at Chen Tianxiong standing with a stiff expression, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Are you trying to suppress me with your son every day?
Delightful!!
The next moment.
He restrained his excitement and looked at Chen Zhixing, suddenly having an even bolder idea.
"Son, can you push a bit further..... just a bit further....."
"Your dad's future wealth relies on you!"
And at this moment, Chen Daoyan gently smiled and said: "Great, great, two prodigies in one family, with our Chen Family having two Qilin Children, why worry about not prospering?"
At this moment, Chen Daoyan even began imagining the scene of Chen Zhaosheng and Chen Zhixing rising in glory together in the near future!
However.
Everything was not over yet!
Despite Chen Zhixing having agreed to play a big game, would he stop here?
BOOM——!!!
The ninth ancient pattern suddenly burst into brilliant light!!
A streak of dazzling light shot out from that ancient jade.
This ray of light was like a mighty river.
In the blink of an eye.
Dominating the sun and moon! Piercing through heaven and earth!
In an instant!
The entire Chen Family, countless people sensed something, halted their actions, and looked up at the blinding light rainbow rising skyward.
"This is..."
Countless mouths slowly opened wide.
Inside the grand hall.
At the moment the ninth ancient pattern lit up.
Whether it was Chen Daoyan or Chen Tianxiong, or Chen Tianliang and his wife, each one's expression changed, unable to suppress a gasp.
"My heavens, nine... nine ancient patterns...?! "
Yingy Shuangshuang covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Nine ancient patterns!
Looking at the entire Cangxuan Realm today, those with nine ancient patterns are few in number!
Nine ancient patterns are also known in the entire Cangxuan Realm as Celestial Chosen!
Meaning possessing the celestial mandate, extraordinarily fortunate!
A favored child of heaven and earth!
"My son, Chen Zhixing, has nine... nine ancient patterns?"
Chen Tianliang's pupils dilated, his expression turned blank.
He stared dumbfoundedly at the seemingly sleeping Chen Zhixing in the swaddling clothes, his mind buzzing incessantly.
He, Chen Tianliang, had birthed a Celestial Chosen?
He wiped his eyes, as if he couldn't quite believe it.
He'd only thought about it in his mind before, never really held any hope.
And now, it's truly nine ancient patterns?
"How is that possible? How can he have nine ancient patterns?! Could it be this ancient jade is wrong?" Chen Tianxiong exclaimed in surprise, his gaze suddenly shifting to the swaddling Chen Zhixing, his face flushed with red.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianliang, who was still in a daze, immediately snapped back, speaking with a harsh tone: "What do you mean the ancient jade is wrong? Why can your son have nine ancient patterns and my son can't?"
Chen Tianxiong wanted to speak further.
"Enough!"
Chen Daoyan's low voice shouted, his expression had unknowingly become immensely serious.
First, he formed a hand seal and waved casually, instantly concealing all sorts of visions.
Immediately.
He lowered his head to look at the swaddling Chen Zhixing, far from the calm his expression showed.
He silently uttered four words:
"Heaven bless the Chen Family!"
Following Chen Zhaosheng.
The Chen Family had once again birthed a Nine Ancient Patterner!
Though not like Chen Zhaosheng who not only had nine ancient patterns but was also born with the King's Map, the future accomplishments with nine ancient patterns alone were already limitless!
There is even a slight chance to touch upon the Great Longevity!
"Today's matter, no one can let it out, understand?" Chen Daoyan took a deep breath, his expression serious, speaking slowly.
One family simultaneously birthing two Nine Ancient Patterners!
If this were to be leaked, it would undoubtedly cause a massive upheaval across the entire Cultivation Realm!
By then, no one would know what might happen.
After all, the Chen Family is not without enemies.
As enemies, they certainly wouldn't want to see the fallen Chen Family rise again.
If there were only Chen Zhaosheng as a Nine Ancient Patterner, those enemies might still endure.
If Chen Family's birthing of two ancient patterners' news got out, only the enemies would likely unite in an instant, sparing no cost to attack the Chen Family.
Time passed slowly.
Inside the grand hall, everyone stared intensely at the test ancient jade, the last dim ancient pattern.
Unfortunately.
After roughly waiting for half a stick of incense's time, that last ancient pattern did not light up again.
Chen Daoyan removed the test ancient jade from Chen Zhixing's forehead, a slight tinge of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Unfortunate, ultimately there was no Ten Ancient Patterns.
But that trace of disappointment vanished in an instant.
"I am indeed greedy." Chen Daoyan couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
Ten Ancient Patterns, looking across the entire Cangxuan Realm from ancient times till now, are few in number.
And those individuals, almost all became the Great Longevity in the end!
How could it be so easy to appear?
And Chen Tianliang and his wife exchanged glances, for some reason, instead breathed a sigh of relief.
If their child was truly the legendary Ten Ancient Patterner.
The two of them... couldn't protect him.
Perhaps the entire Chen Family couldn't protect him.
That wouldn't be fortune, it would be a catastrophic trouble!
