Divine Power Shatters Shackles, A New Saint Rises!
Grandmother Xi stood in the midst of the scene, her aura countless times stronger than before!
She was like a completely different person!
Not only that, but the gathered Saint Ancestors could even sense a slight stirring in the cultivation within her aged frame!
This phenomenon left everyone shaken, their awe boundless!
"Granny!"
Su Qingshuang, standing nearby, suddenly called out softly.
Tears silently streamed from the corners of her eyes—tears of overwhelming joy.
She stepped forward, grasping Grandmother Xi's hand, looking her up and down repeatedly.
"This, this, this… it's wonderful! So wonderful!"
Jiang Wu Xu was equally ecstatic, his eyes red, shouting uncontrollably.
To the couple, Grandmother Xi was no less than a blood relative!
She was one of the most important people in Su Qingshuang's life!
Without her, there would be no Frost Emperor, unrivaled across the Three Thousand Dao Domains today!
But alas, for years, Grandmother Xi had been stuck at the half-step Saint Ancestor realm.
Time had worn away her life force, leaving her on the brink of death, her end looming near.
The couple had tried everything, but nothing could truly alter her fate.
But now…
Su Qingshuang could confirm that, in her current state, Grandmother Xi could live at least another century without issue!
This filled her and Jiang Wu Xu with uncontainable joy!
"Little Qingshuang, don't cry—Granny feels great now!"
"Thanks to my precious grandson, I never imagined I'd get a second spring!"
Grandmother Xi wiped away Su Qingshuang's tears, then gazed fondly at the little one in her arms.
Her aged eyes shimmered with crystalline tears.
That drop of divine liquid had worked wonders, like an old tree sprouting new buds, its withered blooms reborn!
Jiang Yuqiong grinned widely, beaming with delight.
"The Primal Divine Spring's effects didn't let me down!"
Bringing life to the dead, mending bones—it wasn't just talk!
When used on his dad and mom, the effects hadn't felt as pronounced.
But now, seeing Grandmother Xi transformed into a new person—
Looking decades, even centuries younger!
This outcome left Jiang Yuqiong supremely satisfied.
"Congratulations, Frost Emperor! Congratulations, Granny Xi!"
At this moment, the warriors from the Holy Lands and Great Sects also offered their heartfelt felicitations.
Each heart swelled with感慨.
They knew Grandmother Xi had been reborn!
It was a marvel to behold!
And they were genuinely happy for the old woman.
Su Qingshuang, Jiang Wu Xu, and Grandmother Xi reveled in their excitement for a long while before finally calming down.
"You little rascal! You had more—why didn't you say so?"
"Made me spank you for nothing—my hand's still sore!"
Jiang Wu Xu suddenly chuckled.
But as soon as he spoke, he met Su Qingshuang's "ferocious" glare, instantly sending a chill down his spine. He took an instinctive step back, laughing awkwardly.
Jiang Yuqiong flared up at once, waving his little fists in protest!
"Your hand's sore? My butt's blooming with peach blossoms, okay?"
"What kind of dad are you?"
"I'm mad, I tell you!"
Jiang Yuqiong crossed his arms, letting out a loud huff, babbling indignantly.
At that moment, He Mengchang, the Holy Master of Jade Cauldron, spoke with感慨.
"The spiritual liquid the Emperor's child has is simply divine!"
"Not only did it rebuild Granny's body and extend her lifespan, but just now, I even felt her boundary barrier loosen."
"Such a pity, though…"
He trailed off with a soft sigh.
The others nodded in agreement.
Moments ago, as Grandmother Xi was enveloped in light, a tremendous rumble had sounded.
A fleeting, fierce aura had swept through the heavens and earth!
Every Saint Ancestor present was certain!
It was holy might!
Though only a faint trace, it signified that, in that moment, Grandmother Xi had brushed against the final threshold.
Just one step more, and she could have truly crossed into the Saint Ancestor realm, shattering her shackles!
But that surge lasted only a blink before receding like a tide.
The chance to ascend to sainthood had slipped away!
What a shame!
Even Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wu Xu couldn't help but feel regret.
"The Saint Ancestor barrier is like an impassable chasm!"
"The chance to ascend is fleeting and rare. Missing it this time, it'll be hard to grasp again!"
An elder from Xianwen Sect sighed lightly.
Everyone knew that the laws of heaven and earth, the order of the Dao, were the foundation of all living beings' growth.
But they were also invisible shackles imposed by the heavens on all creatures!
Cultivation was a process of strengthening oneself to break free of these heavenly restraints, shattering the chains, and escaping the cage!
Without a doubt, the Saint Ancestor realm's barrier was one of the mightiest shackles!
Breaking it by force was no easy feat!
Grandmother Xi had cultivated for years but never succeeded in ascending.
It wasn't just her dwindling lifespan—more crucially, it was her limited talent.
Though reborn now, ordinary holy medicines likely couldn't push her across that final step.
But Grandmother Xi herself didn't mind in the least.
She smiled warmly, leaning close to the little one and patting his head.
"My precious grandson! Now Granny can really grow old with you!"
Hearing the crowd's words, Jiang Yuqiong sank into thought.
"Becoming a Saint Ancestor is that hard?"
He was surprised.
Granny was already a half-step Saint Ancestor, and now with at least a century more to live, breaking through to sainthood was still no easy task.
It seemed the path of cultivation wasn't as simple as he'd imagined.
Jiang Yuqiong mulled it over.
His round little eyes suddenly darted about, blinking a few times.
"One drop of the Primal Divine Spring not only rebuilt Granny's body but also shook her Saint Ancestor barrier."
"If I give her another drop…"
Jiang Yuqiong let out a sly giggle and raised his little hand once more.
Between his five fingers, a radiant glow burst forth, dazzling and magnificent!
That potent life essence reappeared before everyone's eyes.
In an instant, Su Qingshuang, Jiang Wu Xu, He Mengchang, Jian Lingtian, and others widened their eyes.
"Again, again, again… again?!"
"He's got more?!"
They gasped in disbelief.
The little guy had produced yet another drop of that divine liquid!
Such a treasure—one drop was already earth-shattering.
And now he'd pulled out another!
Counting the one used by the Frost Emperor, this was the fourth drop!
How many did this kid have?!
Every strong individual present felt their hearts quake!
Under their stunned gazes, Jiang Yuqiong flicked his fingers, sending the droplet flying into Grandmother Xi's mouth.
The old woman froze.
Then the medicinal power unleashed, transforming into a boundless, ferocious energy—like a mountain flood, like a vast sea, crashing against the heavens with roaring waves!
In a flash, it was as if a blazing sun had ignited around Grandmother Xi.
"Rumble!"
The momentum of the heavens surged, divine energy pulsing, the rumbling ceaseless.
The infinite laws of the Heavenly Dao, the order of the cosmos, the supreme truths—all manifested in that moment.
It was as if a divine being wielded a brush, sketching wildly, tracing countless mysterious patterns—threads weaving chaotically yet wondrously!
Though they seemed disordered and obscure, they held an extraordinary charm!
At the same time, thick, imposing laws visibly coiled around Grandmother Xi, like a series of fearsome shackles binding her tightly!
These were the restraints of the Great Dao of heaven and earth imposed on all living beings!
The barrier to her sainthood!
But soon, a surging, majestic power erupted from within her, divine light blazing!
She seemed to transform into a peerless divine furnace, with terrifying energy roaring to life, scorching the skies and searing all things!
"Crack crack!"
Under this divine power, swathes of laws and order snapped apart!
"The Saint Ancestor barrier is trembling again!"
"The chance to ascend has returned!"
"Granny Xi… she's about to become a Saint Ancestor!"
The gathered Saint Ancestors cried out in shock.
They knew this scene all too well.
Each of them had walked this path.
What was happening to Grandmother Xi now was the prelude to sainthood!
She was on the verge of breaking through, ascending to the Saint realm, reaching the pinnacle!
Indeed!
As the crowd reeled in astonishment, an infinite light exploded from Grandmother Xi's body!
A boundless divine power surged forth, annihilating all in its path!
A deafening roar rang out!
"BOOM!!!!"
The heavens overturned, the universe shattered, the Dao thundered!
The myriad laws and truths in the sky disintegrated into chaos!
Within Grandmother Xi, a formidable shackle snapped apart with a resounding crack!
What followed was a terrifying pressure, like a mountain flood bursting forth, permeating every inch of space, shaking the ninth heaven, sending shivers through every soul!
The sight made everyone suck in a sharp breath.
Grandmother Xi…
She had broken the chains of heaven and earth, successfully ascending to Saint Ancestor!
Held in his mom's arms at a safe distance, Jiang Yuqiong clenched his little fists, shouting excitedly.
"It worked, it worked!"
"Granny's awesome!"
