Don’t ask! If you do, I’ve got nothing!
Grandmother Xi had shattered her barrier, ascending to sainthood on the spot!
The old woman's body shimmered with divine light as she slowly rose into the air, standing aloft in the ninth heaven!
Laws flanked her, the charm of the Dao accompanied her, weaving into a cascade of magnificent, radiant splendor as celestial flowers fell in a chaotic dance!
In an instant, a grand celestial symphony resounded from beyond the firmament, as if the heavens themselves were expounding the ultimate truths!
"Swish…"
From the distant horizon, purple brilliance spread across the sky, like clouds of mist surging forward!
A heavenly phenomenon!
Purple energy from the east!
Beneath her feet, divine springs bubbled up from the earth, spiritual energy surging.
Golden lotuses bloomed silently, their divine light dazzling.
The resplendent spectacle rolled forth like a tide, enveloping hundreds of nearby domains in a mere moment!
Countless beings witnessed this scene!
The music of the Great Dao sang in their ears, leaving them entranced and spellbound!
Innumerable cultivators were stirred.
Everyone wanted to know what had happened.
"Someone has pierced the true meaning of the Dao and ascended to Saint Ancestor!"
Soon, a deep-cultivation expert spoke, revealing the truth.
A new saint had emerged, reaching the pinnacle!
Another Saint Ancestor-level being had joined the world!
This sent the entire cultivation realm into a frenzy!
Beyond the tens of thousands of miles surrounding Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven, the countless onlookers were even more overwhelmed with awe!
Celestial flowers rained down, the sound of the Dao reverberated, purple brilliance filled the sky, divine springs gushed, and golden lotuses bloomed from the earth!
Every phenomenon unfolded before their eyes!
In the void, holy might swept forth grandly, permeating every inch of space, compelling all to kneel in reverence!
From afar, the old woman's figure stood in the heavens, seemingly plain and unadorned.
Yet around her, auspicious light rose, transforming into true dragons and primordial phoenixes, dancing gracefully.
The grand scene framed her, lending an indescribable, mysterious allure.
Those present—Jian Lingtian, He Mengchang, Emperor Batian, and others—were the most stunned, their gazes trembling with disbelief!
"Granny Xi's aura—it's still surging!"
Someone exclaimed in shock.
Under their watchful eyes, the divine light around the old woman flared brighter, growing ever more potent.
After breaking through to the Saint Ancestor realm, the phenomenon didn't subside—it intensified!
Her terrifying momentum rose wave after wave, each crest higher than the last!
Her cultivation continued to climb rapidly!
Saint Ancestor First Layer!
Saint Ancestor Second Layer!
Saint Ancestor Third Layer!
The strong individuals' eyes twitched violently!
The celestial phenomena shook the world, persisting for a long, long time.
Finally, with a resounding "BOOM," it was as if the heavens swung a hammer, sealing the moment!
"Buzz buzz…"
Granny Xi's aura reached its zenith!
Only then did the sky full of phenomena begin to fade.
"Saint… Saint Ancestor… Fourth Layer!"
Everyone from Jade Cauldron Holy Land, Huangchu Holy Land, Fu Long Divine Dynasty, Hidden Sword Mountain, and beyond nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets!
Their faces were etched with terror, unable to believe what they saw!
Granny Xi…
She had leapt straight to Saint Ancestor Fourth Layer!
This was the mid-tier of the Saint Ancestor realm!
Utterly unthinkable!
Beyond comprehension!
"No way!"
"Granny's that powerful?"
Jiang Yuqiong himself was stunned.
When Granny broke through, he'd been smug beyond measure.
As expected, everything had gone according to his plan—the second drop of the Primal Divine Spring had indeed shattered the chasm, granting her another shot at sainthood!
Worthy of me!
A peerless genius blending dashing looks and brilliant wisdom, orchestrating everything with masterful control!
But he truly hadn't anticipated that Granny Xi would vault across multiple layers to reach Saint Ancestor Fourth Layer!
This was too shocking!
The Primal Divine Spring's effects were this formidable?!
Unimaginable!
Everyone craned their necks, gazing up at the old woman's figure in the sky.
At this moment, her cultivation surpassed many of those present!
It was utterly terrifying.
As they watched, the celestial phenomena gradually dissipated.
The boundless holy might was reined in by Granny Xi.
She returned to her simple, unassuming appearance, descending from the heights.
But in everyone's eyes, the old woman now seemed unfathomably deep.
Her aura was subtle, profound as an abyss!
Instilling an instinctive reverence!
"Granny!"
Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wu Xu were the first to snap out of it, rushing forward eagerly.
The couple was ecstatic beyond words.
Granny Xi's successful ascension, reaching the Fourth Layer, didn't just mean a vast increase in strength!
More importantly, she wouldn't have to worry about her lifespan for at least another hundred thousand years.
Seeing the couple's mix of joy and relief, Granny Xi couldn't contain her own excitement.
"The Saint Ancestor realm is truly wondrous beyond words!"
"I've lived over a hundred thousand years, never breaking through—I never dreamed… never dreamed…"
By the end, tears streamed down Granny Xi's aged face, her感慨 boundless.
Countless years of effort, always thwarted by her limited talent, unable to reach the pinnacle.
It had been her greatest regret!
In recent years, with her life dwindling, she'd let go of that obsession—or rather, resigned herself to fate.
Who could've imagined that two drops of an unknown divine liquid would not only revive her but propel her into the Saint realm?!
It left her overwhelmed with emotion and reflection.
"Little one, you're truly my lucky star!"
Granny Xi said, moved to tears, affectionately rubbing the little one's head.
All of this was thanks to him!
It was because of him that she'd come to Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven that day.
It seemed this was all destined.
This little guy was the greatest blessing in her life!
By now, the other strong individuals had finally recovered from their shock, clamoring to speak.
"Congratulations to Granny Xi on ascending to Saint Ancestor—what a joyous occasion! Truly joyous!"
"The Emperor's child is a divine marvel!"
"One drop of divine liquid rebuilt Granny's body, reigniting her life force!"
"Another drop forged a Saint Ancestor mid-tier powerhouse on the spot!"
"Unbelievable! Beyond comprehension!"
"There's really such a divine treasure in this vast world?"
Their shouts mingled in a chaotic uproar.
They weren't just congratulating Granny Xi's ascension—more than that, they were reeling from the divine liquid the Emperor's child had produced, awestruck and shaken.
Each gazed at the faintly glowing infant in the Frost Emperor's arms, their expressions quivering.
This little one had shattered their understanding time and again!
No one dared imagine such a divine liquid existed in this world!
Just two drops!
Even the rarest imperial-grade spiritual medicines, unseen for countless years, might not match such potency!
What baffled them most was that the Emperor's child had only just been born!
Where had he gotten this from?
It couldn't really be something he'd carried from the womb, could it?
And judging by his demeanor, he probably wasn't even done—there had to be more!
How could this not leave them speechless?
Even Jiang Wu Xu couldn't resist, leaning his big face close to Jiang Yuqiong.
"You've really outdone yourself, you little punk!"
"Come clean—how much more of that divine liquid do you have?"
He grinned deeply at his son, his heart brimming with anticipation and hope.
Jiang Yuqiong jolted.
"None! This time it's really gone!"
He eyed his dad warily.
Good grief!
Still scheming for my Primal Divine Spring!
I only had ten drops total!
After today's antics, four are already gone.
That's way too fast!
I'm warning you, Dad—stop eyeing it like a tiger.
I'll bring it out when it's truly needed!
But otherwise, don't ask.
If you do… I've got nothing!
Jiang Yuqiong thrust out both hands, pressing them firmly against his dad's face.
Seeing this, Su Qingshuang chuckled softly.
This little Yuqiong was quite the treasure-hoarder!
Jiang Wu Xu felt helpless.
What could he do?
If the kid didn't want to talk, he couldn't exactly force it out of him, could he?
I, Jiang Wu Xu, a peak Saint Ancestor and a father—would I stoop to that?
Seeing his dad finally give up, Jiang Yuqiong let out another cold huff through his nose, turning to show him the back of his head.
Today, he'd used up nearly half his Primal Divine Spring, but he didn't feel a shred of regret.
It had all gone to his loved ones—averting a deadly crisis, restoring his dad's primal energy, and birthing a new Saint Ancestor!
What a steal!
As the crowd buzzed with excitement, a voice suddenly rang out from nearby, plunging the scene into instant silence.
