Chapter 18: Challenging a New Extreme Realm! Grandpa Jiang Taihang!
Jiang Yuqiong made a firm resolution.
No matter how much effort it took, he must acquire the Thunder Martial Vein.
Then, his attention turned to the reward of the second task.
The talent rune of the Golden-Winged Roc!
Jiang Yuqiong, of course, knew about the Golden-Winged Roc.
As for its talent, the first thing he thought of was four words — the ultimate speed in the world!
The roc spreads its wings, its feathers touching the sky, soaring straight into the clouds!
Once the speed of the Golden-Winged Roc is unleashed, there's almost no one in the world who can match it.
And the reward for this task was actually the talent rune of the Golden-Winged Roc.
This means that with this rune, wouldn't he be able to manifest the wings of the roc, covering thousands of miles in an instant?
"This is another rare treasure!"
Jiang Yuqiong grinned, laughing happily.
He couldn't use this now, but after he was born, he could soar through the heavens with it, living life to the fullest.
Just imagining the scene was beyond beautiful, wasn't it?
"Time to cultivate!"
"As for attending the banquet, let's talk about it after I complete this task; there's still plenty of time."
"By then, I'll figure out a way for Mom to take me there."
Jiang Yuqiong didn't want to waste any time and immediately entered a state of cultivation.
The system only gave him half a month.
And he looked at the requirements for the new Extreme Realm — they were insanely high!
His strength had to reach 189,600 jin to complete the task.
You should know that after the Bone Tempering Extreme Realm, increasing strength by even a single jin is incredibly hard.
What's more, his strength was still more than 80,000 jin short of the new Extreme Realm!
This was a barrier that countless sages and heroes had never broken.
For Jiang Yuqiong, it was a massive challenge!
However, with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique at his disposal, he was still very confident.
"Boom!"
A rumbling sound came from within Jiang Yuqiong's body.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique operated, releasing an endless devouring force, drawing in his mother's Heavenly Emperor origin.
From this moment, he officially launched his assault on the new Extreme Realm of the Bone Tempering stage!
Outside, Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wuxu soon noticed this commotion and felt puzzled.
"Isn't this stinky brat just having broken through the Bone Tempering Extreme Realm? Why is he cultivating again?"
"Could he be trying to break through to the Meridian Opening realm?"
Jiang Wuxu said.
Su Qingshuang felt helpless.
She had been assisting the little one with cultivation for half a month, just planning to take some time to recover.
Who would have thought that after breaking through the Bone Tempering Extreme Realm and manifesting the Flawless Sword Heart, he'd start cultivating again.
Can't he just rest for a while?
"It looks like I won't get any rest soon."
"If Yuqiong wants to cultivate, let him."
Su Qingshuang smiled.
No helping it, this was her son after all.
Moreover, their home had been demolished.
Fortunately, the Xuan Shuang Heavenly Grotto was large enough, with plenty of buildings. Su Qingshuang casually chose a magnificent hall to enter.
The biggest trouble with cultivating in the womb was that all energy sources came from the mother.
Thus, Su Qingshuang had to fully activate her cultivation technique, madly absorbing spiritual energy.
Outside the Xuan Shuang Heavenly Grotto.
The original spiritual energy vortex suddenly dispersed, leaving many cultivators who had come to seize the opportunity somewhat unsatisfied.
But before the crowd could disperse, an even more terrifying spiritual energy vortex appeared in the sky once again!
Its form was so vast, like a bottomless black hole!
Spiritual energy from dozens of great domains around was rapidly converging here!
Such dense spiritual energy could only be found in the most blessed lands.
"The Frost Heavenly Emperor continues to cleanse the fetus!"
"This is an absolute opportunity! We must not miss it!"
On the rocks and in the forests, there were figures everywhere.
For ordinary cultivators, this was an unimaginable chance.
Everyone fully immersed themselves in cultivation.
Jiang Yuqiong was the same.
Time passed quickly, unnoticed.
Nine days went by, and with his relentless effort, his strength steadily increased!
118,000 jin!
129,000 jin!
136,000 jin!
...
157,000 jin!
He was only a little more than 30,000 jin away from the new Extreme Realm!
This result once again left Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wuxu speechless.
They originally thought Jiang Yuqiong was aiming to break through to the Meridian Opening realm.
Who knew he was still sprinting forward in the Bone Tempering realm without any intention of stopping!
"This stinky brat is too incredible, isn't he?"
"His strength is nearly 160,000 jin!"
"Even when I was tempering my bones, I didn't reach this level!"
Jiang Wuxu exclaimed.
Now, Jiang Yuqiong's strength had surpassed what he achieved back in the day.
This was an unimaginable feat.
Even Su Qingshuang, during her Bone Tempering stage, had only a little over 160,000 jin of force.
Was this stinky brat aiming to surpass even his mother?
But she was a Heavenly Emperor!
"Yuqiong, Yuqiong, you really make me look forward to it!"
While Jiang Wuxu was sighing, he was also full of expectation.
He naturally hoped his son would surpass him, even surpass his mother.
But after Jiang Yuqiong's series of performances,
Jiang Wuxu felt somewhat accustomed to it, or perhaps numb.
As the father of the emperor's son, he suddenly had an epiphany, understanding many things.
"As a father, I need some composure. Being shocked every time is too unbecoming!"
"From now on, no matter how heaven-defying this stinky brat becomes, I won't show too much surprise, acting like I've never seen the world."
Outside the grand hall, Jiang Wuxu set up another stone table and chairs, brewing and drinking tea alone.
There was a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth, like a transcendent figure, displaying extreme calmness and composure.
He sat there, quietly waiting for the day Su Qingshuang would come out of the hall.
On the tenth day.
The eleventh day.
The twelfth day.
The thirteenth day.
The fourteenth day.
Every day that passed, when sensing the huge increase in the fetus's strength, Jiang Wuxu only gave a light laugh.
As if everything was under his control.
But in fact, Jiang Wuxu's heart was in turmoil like a storm.
This stinky brat's strength had actually exceeded 180,000 jin!
Was he aiming for the heavens?
Jiang Wuxu sipped his tea, smiling, but his hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
On the fifteenth day.
Early in the morning, a figure suddenly flew in from afar.
Before the person arrived, the voice did.
A hearty laugh came from the newcomer.
"Hahaha... I've just returned and heard from Qingtian that my grandson is cultivating in the womb?"
"And that he broke through the Bone Tempering Extreme Realm in one go?"
"Wuxu, is this true?"
The figure landed, revealing a man in his fifties.
The man's features bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Wuxu.
Despite appearing to be in his fifties, he remained handsome and extraordinary in demeanor.
This person was Jiang Wuxu's father — Jiang Taihang, also Jiang Yuqiong's grandfather.
"Father, you've returned!"
"Everything Qingtian said is true."
"And that stinky brat, it's not just about cultivating in the womb."
Jiang Wuxu got up from the courtyard, laughing heartily.
