章 167: The Divine Seed and the King's Wrath

Raja sat cross-legged in the serene stillness of the forest. The bead in his hand emanated a faint glow, pulsing with an energy that seemed to echo deep within him. As he examined it, a strange familiarity surfaced—a connection between the bead and his Profound Veins, which began to react subtly to its presence.

Jasmine, who floated nearby, gasped in astonishment. "Heretic God Seed!" she exclaimed. "How is this possible? For such a relic to exist on this backwater planet?"

Raja chuckled lightly, his voice carrying a mix of amusement and inevitability. "Jasmine, don't you see? Everything that's happening seems orchestrated, as if by some divine design. Me, arriving in this universe without Profound Veins, you—a princess with the blood of an immortal god—falling to this planet after being poisoned and stumbling into the Sky Poison Pearl. And now this seed? Fate is playing a grand game with me at its center."

Jasmine fell silent, contemplating his words. After a moment, she nodded solemnly. "You're right. It seems we are caught in a divine play. I no longer doubt my decision to follow you."

With a resolute grin, Raja swallowed the Heretic God Seed. Instantly, a surge of power coursed through his body, as if fire itself had ignited his very soul. His cultivation, already formidable, soared from the Tenth Level of the True Profound Realm to the First Level of the Spirit Profound Realm—and continued climbing. It stopped only at the Fifth Level of the Spirit Profound Realm.

Jasmine's eyes widened in disbelief. "I've seen countless prodigies in the God Realm," she said, her tone incredulous. "Not even heaven's favorite sons could raise their levels like this!"

Raja laughed, the sound echoing with a mix of joy and wonder. Amid the storm of energy, he felt his Great Way of Buddha Art stirring, signaling the opportunity to overcome his bottleneck at the Peak of the Third Stage. He turned to Jasmine with a determined expression. "Jasmine, I'm going to break through the 3rd Stage. Please guard me until I'm done."

Jasmine scoffed, though her surprise was evident. "What kind of monster are you? My brother, born with divine heritage, took decades to reach the 6th Stage of the Great Way of Buddha. And here you are, in mere months, reaching the 3rd Stage and now attempting the 4th! Hmph! If anyone embodies luck and fate, it's you."

Smiling, Raja focused his energy inward, entering a deep meditative state. For 24 hours, he maintained unbroken concentration, his comprehension and control pushing him past barriers that would have stopped lesser cultivators. When he finally opened his eyes, a golden light surrounded him.

"I've done it," Raja said softly. His cultivation surged once more, climbing from the Fifth Level of the Spirit Profound Realm to its very peak at the Tenth Level. He steadied himself, deciding to stabilize his cultivation and delay his advance to the Earth Profound Realm for a month.

Jasmine floated closer, her expression a mix of awe and exhaustion from witnessing his growth. "I don't even know how to express my astonishment anymore. You're right to stabilize your cultivation, but perhaps it's time to visit your family. After what I've seen today, I no longer doubt your destiny."

Nodding, Raja inspected his body one final time and asked Maya, his system AI, to display his updated status.

Then, with a powerful leap, he skywalked toward Floating Cloud City and the Xia Manor, his adopted home.

As he approached the city, Raja's Almighty View scanned the surroundings. He noted with unease that construction projects were underway, disrupting the familiar tranquility. Focusing on Xia Manor, he saw similar disturbances. His unease deepened. With a burst of speed, he propelled himself forward, arriving at the manor with an audible crash.

Servants scattered in fear at his dramatic landing, but their panic turned to relief upon recognizing him. "Young Master has returned!" they cried, rushing to inform the master of the manor.

Before Raja could enter, his Almighty View revealed something troubling. Unbidden, his body began to emit the oppressive aura of Supreme King Haki. The servants nearest to him fainted one by one, while others trembled in fear.

"Raja!" Jasmine hissed. "Control yourself! You're hurting innocent people."

Startled, Raja reined in his Haki, apologizing silently as he entered the manor. He found his father, Xia Hongyi, lying in bed, his leg visibly crippled. Without hesitation, Raja approached and placed a hand on his father's leg.

Xia Hongyi stirred, waking to the sight of his son's tear-filled eyes. "Wanger, you've returned," he said weakly. "Thank the heavens you're safe. I feared something had happened to you."

Raja suppressed his emotions, his voice calm but firm. "What happened, Father?"

Before Hongyi could answer, Elder Xiao Lie entered the room. He too bore injuries, his arm crippled. His face lit up at the sight of Raja. "Young Master! You've returned. Wait… you have cultivation? How?"

Raja's gaze hardened as he took in Xiao Lie's condition. "What happened here? Who did this? Where are my siblings? I want answers now!"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lie recounted the events. "After you left for training, Xiao Kuangyun from the Xiao Sect visited Floating Cloud City. He took a liking to Young Miss Qingyue and Lingxi and proposed marriage. When we refused, Xiao Kuangyun, with the help of the Xiao family, attacked us. Your father and I fought to protect the manor, but we were injured. Qingyue revealed her status as a disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard, forcing them to retreat."

"And Qingyue and Yuanba?" Raja asked, his tone sharp.

"Fearing further attacks, Master Xia sent Qingyue with her master and Yuanba to New Moon City after Xiao Che was bedridden by an attack from the Xiao family's younger generation."

Raja nodded grimly. He spent the next hour meditating to calm his turbulent emotions. When he rose, he channeled the Great Way of Buddha Art into his father's injured leg. In minutes, Xia Hongyi felt relief, moving his leg for the first time in months. Both Hongyi and Xiao Lie were stunned by the miraculous recovery.

Leaving his father's room, Raja entered Xiao Che's, where his younger brother lay bedridden. Channeling the Great Way of Buddha Art again, Raja healed Xiao Che's wounds and repaired his damaged Profound Veins. The process took an hour, but when Xiao Che awoke, he looked at Raja with wide, tearful eyes.

"Big Bro! When did you come back? Thank the heavens you're safe. I thought the Xiao family had harmed you too!"

Raja smiled warmly. "You've done well, Little Che. You've made me proud. Your days of helplessness are over. Are you ready to embark on the path of Profound Cultivation?"

Xiao Che's jaw dropped. "What do you mean, Big Bro? Can I… cultivate now?"

"Yes," Raja said, his smile widening. "Your body and Profound Veins have been restored. From this moment on, I want your full focus on cultivation."

Tears streamed down Xiao Che's face as he nodded fervently. "I will, Big Brother. I'll work hard to close the gap with others!"

"That's the spirit," Raja said, unlocking Xiao Che's 54 Profound Entrances and granting him the Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins. He then encouraged his brother to adapt to his new body and begin training with the Six Styles technique.

As Xiao Che ran off, his excitement evident, Raja's demeanor shifted. His eyes turned cold, his aura deadly. Fixing his gaze on the Xiao Family Manor in the distance, his Killing Intent surged, filling the room with an oppressive weight.

"Xiao Family," he muttered, his voice low and dangerous. "You will pay for this."
