Chapter 304: Voucher

"Use it."

The voucher shattered.

Golden light erupted.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The formation barrier instantly activated.

Every rune around the training ground illuminated.

Shen Tian’s Qi exploded outward.

His Spirit Perception expanded.

The entire world seemed to change.

Before...

He could sense spiritual energy.

Intent.

Movement.

Life.

Now...

It became something else.

The heavens above him seemed closer.

Not physically.

Conceptually.

Clouds.

Wind.

Qi.

Earth.

Every part of the environment entered his awareness.

Xu Ning’s eyes widened.

[Host.]

Shen Tian closed his eyes.

A golden silhouette appeared behind him.

Massive.

Imperial.

Not fully formed.

A manifestation.

His Domain responded.

Expanded.

Compressed.

Changed.

No longer merely pressure.

Authority.

Heaven itself seemed to recognize something had stepped upward.

CRACK!

The ground split.

BOOOOOOM!

A pillar of golden Qi rose into the sky.

Inside the mansion...

Every cultivator froze.

Chi Lingxi looked up from the couch.

Bai Xue stood instantly.

Shen Yan stopped mid step.

Yin Suyi looked toward the windows.

Outside...

The clouds above the estate separated.

A circular opening appeared.

Golden sunlight fell directly onto the training grounds.

Xu Ning stared.

Then...

The system panel transformed.

Cultivation Breakthrough Successful

Previous Realm: Peak Spirit Perception

New Realm: Heaven Manifestation Realm

Stage: Mid Heaven Manifestation

Shen Tian opened his eyes.

Green.

Brighter than before.

The manifestation behind him slowly vanished.

Silence returned.

Then...

Xu Ning spoke.

[Mid stage.]

Shen Tian looked at his hands.

"Not bad."

Xu Ning stared.

[Not bad?]

He clenched his fist.

The air distorted.

No movement.

No technique.

Just physical force interacting with Qi.

Shen Tian smiled.

"Better."

[You skipped an entire major realm boundary and landed in mid stage.]

"Yes."

[Normal cultivators could spend decades trying to do that.]

"Unfortunate."

Xu Ning covered her face.

[You are impossible.]

Footsteps approached.

The formation opened.

Chi Lingxi rushed in first.

Then stopped.

She stared at Shen Tian.

He looked...

The same.

Mostly.

But something had changed.

His presence.

Before...

Shen Tian was strong.

Overwhelming when he wanted to be.

Now...

Even while completely relaxed...

There was something around him.

Like the space naturally gave him room.

Chi Lingxi swallowed.

"You broke through."

"Yes."

She walked closer.

Then...

Looked around at the destroyed stone.

"Again."

Shen Tian smiled.

"The ground started it."

Chi Lingxi stared.

Bai Xue arrived behind her.

She looked at the crater.

Then at Shen Tian.

Then...

At the sky.

"Did you punch heaven?"

"No."

"Sure?"

"Mostly."

Shen Yan entered.

Her eyes moved over Shen Tian.

She immediately understood.

Her expression became proud.

"Congratulations."

Shen Tian nodded.

"Thanks."

Then...

Yin Suyi arrived.

She looked at her son.

Then...

At the crater.

Then...

At the cracked stone.

Then...

At the destroyed formation anchors.

Silence.

Shen Tian looked at her.

She looked at him.

"Mother."

"How expensive?"

Shen Tian blinked.

Bai Xue burst out laughing.

Chi Lingxi covered her mouth.

Yin Suyi crossed her arms.

"Every time you become stronger, something breaks."

"That’s not always true."

"The company."

"Once."

"The mountain villa."

"Not my fault."

"The east training courtyard."

"That was Yan."

Shen Yan froze.

Everyone looked at her.

She slowly looked away.

"...It was."

Yin Suyi sighed.

Then...

She walked toward Shen Tian.

Her expression softened.

She reached up.

Straightened his collar.

"You’re okay?"

Shen Tian smiled.

"Perfect."

She nodded.

"Good."

Then...

She slapped his chest lightly.

"Next time use somebody else’s mountain."

Bai Xue laughed harder.

. . .

Later that evening...

Xu Ning appeared inside Shen Tian’s room.

[One more thing.]

Shen Tian sat near the window.

"What?"

[The Primordial Dragon Heart Essence.]

A crimson golden orb appeared.

Shen Tian looked toward it.

"You want me to integrate it now?"

[No.]

His eyebrow rose.

Xu Ning continued.

[Your realm just advanced.]

[Even with perfect system foundation, give your body time to adjust.]

"How long?"

[Several days.]

Shen Tian nodded.

Reasonable.

Xu Ning opened another panel.

[But your breakthrough changed something.]

Supreme Villain Authority synchronized with Heaven Manifestation Realm.

Fate Suppression Effect increased.

Previous: 15%

Current: 20%

Shen Tian smiled.

"Useful."

Then...

Another line appeared.

Direct protagonist confrontation now generates greater Fate instability.

Xu Ning looked toward him.

[Meaning Qin Hao’s system protection may be weaker around you than

expected.]

Shen Tian’s green eyes gleamed.

"Tomorrow should be fun."

. . .

The next evening.

Jinhe Private Medical Auction.

Unlike the Imperial Crown banquet...

This event was quieter.

More exclusive.

No reporters.

No celebrity crowds.

No giant ballroom.

Jinhe occupied a private estate outside the city.

Traditional architecture.

Modern security.

Gardens.

Courtyards.

A central auction hall.

Guests included doctors.

Researchers.

Cultivators.

Pharmaceutical executives.

Old families.

Collectors.

And people who knew the value of things ordinary society dismissed as

weeds.

A black Shen Family vehicle stopped at the entrance.

Shen Tian stepped out first.

Black suit.

No tie.

Open collar.

Green eyes.

Immediately...

Several guests looked over.

Then...

Lin Yue stepped out.

Shen Tian paused.

Actually paused.

Lin Yue noticed.

Her cheeks warmed.

She wore a dark fitted dress beneath a light coat.

Elegant.

Simple.

Nothing excessive.

Hair loose.

Small earrings.

She looked at him.

"What?"

Shen Tian stared.

Lin Yue’s face slowly became pink.

"Shen Tian."

"You asked what to wear."

"I did."

He smiled.

"Good choice."

Her cheeks became redder.

"That’s all?"

Shen Tian stepped closer.

Lin Yue froze.

He looked at her.

Then...

"Beautiful."

Silence.

Lin Yue’s entire face turned red.

Completely.

She stared at him.

Then...

Looked away.

"You..."

She cleared her throat.

"You did that on purpose."

"Yes."

That made it worse.

Lin Yue covered part of her face.

"At least you’re admitting it now."

Shen Tian smiled.

Then...

Another vehicle arrived.

Gu Qingya stepped out.

She saw Lin Yue.

Then Shen Tian.

Then Lin Yue’s red face.

Her eyebrow rose.

"What happened?"

Lin Yue immediately answered.

"Nothing."

Shen Tian answered.

"I called her beautiful."

Gu Qingya froze.

Lin Yue slowly looked toward him.

"Why would you tell her?"

"She asked."

"I asked what happened!"

Shen Tian nodded.

"Exactly."

Gu Qingya’s lips twitched.

Then...

Tang Meilin emerged from the other side.

She looked around.

"What did I miss?"
