Chapter 20: The mount Grandpa brought, the ancient demon bird, Sky-Swallowing Sparrow!
In the room.
Inside Su Qingshuang's belly.
Waves of mysterious and wonderful energy swirled around Jiang Yuqiong.
His small body was radiant with treasure light, like the most ultimate divine artifact in this world, exuding an indomitable divine charm.
"Wow..."
With a slight wave of his tiny arm, the surrounding space emitted a series of roars, creating ripples.
He felt as if an ancient divine beast was dwelling within his body, with boundless divine power!
"Is this the feeling of the new Extreme Realm?"
Jiang Yuqiong carefully experienced it.
At this moment, with a single arm swing, he exerted a force of 189,600 jin!
This was the power of the new Extreme Realm!
This feeling of boundless divine power was truly intoxicating.
He even felt that with one punch now, he could directly blast apart a ferocious beast!
"The purple energy in my body has increased a hundredfold!"
Jiang Yuqiong noticed that each time he cultivated, his body would produce a large amount of purple energy.
He now knew this was the legendary prenatal purple energy.
It could almost only be born in the womb!
Although the prenatal purple energy doesn't directly enhance combat power much, its miraculous uses in other aspects are beyond imagination!
Thus, he also understood that the more prenatal purple energy he gathered, the better.
"After cultivating for a while longer, the prenatal purple energy can increase by several hundred times before birth, no problem!"
Jiang Yuqiong thought to himself.
Then, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Phew..."
"Rushing to the very last day, I finally completed the task."
Jiang Yuqiong finally felt much relieved.
Over these past two weeks, he hadn't wasted a single moment, constantly cultivating.
Fortunately, the results were very gratifying.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task!"
"Rewards have been issued, please check them at your convenience!"
When the system's voice sounded in his ear, Jiang Yuqiong couldn't help but show a happy smile.
Just as he was about to claim his rewards, his ears perked up.
The voices from outside the hall caught his attention.
"Grandpa's back?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Jiang Yuqiong identified it as his grandfather, Jiang Taihang.
He knew that his grandfather had left the Xuan Shuang Heavenly Grotto about two months ago.
It was said he went deep into the Heavy Desolate to catch a powerful spiritual beast as a mount for his grandson!
"Could it be, my mount is settled?"
Jiang Yuqiong's eyes lit up.
He was curious about what kind of beast his grandfather had brought back for him.
However, at this moment, the old man seemed to have encountered something good, laughing heartily and being extremely smug.
His father was also echoing his laughter, the father and son acting like madmen, laughing one moment and crying the next.
Soon, it seemed his mother had also stopped absorbing spiritual energy and walked out of the room.
She was the calmest of them all.
After all, every bit of Jiang Yuqiong's progress was under her clear perception.
Yet, even so, the situation just now had stunned Su Qingshuang, causing her to sit alone in the hall for a long time.
"Frost, you've really worked hard for this little guy."
Outside the hall, Jiang Taihang finally calmed his emotions upon seeing Su Qingshuang.
He stepped forward, expressing his concern.
Consuming Heavenly Emperor origin to let the little one cultivate, just thinking about it, one knew how extravagant that was.
Moreover, for his daughter-in-law, continuously assisting without rest for a month was indeed exhausting.
It was visibly clear that she looked somewhat haggard.
Su Qingshuang gave a bow to Jiang Taihang, saying it was no trouble.
The old man stroked his chin with his beard, looking at his daughter-in-law's protruding belly, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Oh, right!"
He suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something.
Jiang Taihang flipped his wrist, and a pouch-like object appeared in his palm.
"I was so caught up in marveling that I forgot the main thing."
"Come, come, come! Let's see what good stuff I brought back for my grandson!"
Jiang Taihang opened the pouch.
Instantly, a burst of dark light flashed out.
"Chirp..."
Then came a sharp cry of a bird.
A bird, only half the height of a person, flew out from the pouch, spreading its wings as if to soar into the sky.
"You dare to run, beast?"
"You better stay here and wait to be a mount for my grandson after he's born!"
Jiang Taihang laughed heartily.
He waved his hand, sending out a light palm to capture it back.
Jiang Wuxu and Su Qingshuang also stepped forward to examine it.
They saw the bird was entirely black, with tough feathers like terrifying divine iron, giving off a metallic sheen.
Its eyes were extremely sharp, with divine light flickering.
The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, even while being restrained, struggled and resisted.
Its not-so-large beak slightly opened, bursting out a terrifying swallowing force, causing a black tornado to surge outside the hall.
At first glance, one might have the illusion that this bird's beak could swallow the heavens and kill all!
"Sky-Swallowing Sparrow!"
"Father, you actually caught a young Sky-Swallowing Sparrow!"
"You found such an ancient relic?"
Jiang Wuxu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
He immediately recognized that this bird was indeed a Sky-Swallowing Sparrow!
In ancient times, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow was renowned, causing countless people to tremble in fear!
Even an underage Sky-Swallowing Sparrow could swallow an entire city with millions of inhabitants with just one opening of its beak!
A fully grown Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, however, possessed the power to swallow the heavens and kill all!
When its terrifying energy was unleashed, the sky would change color, and the sun and moon would lose their light!
Everything would fall into its belly, becoming its food!
Thus, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow was also known as the Demon Bird of Ancient Times!
And the small bird before them was indeed a young Sky-Swallowing Sparrow!
A true relic from ancient times!
A descendant of the Demon Bird of Ancient Times!
Even Su Qingshuang couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Catching the young of an ancient relic was no easy feat.
He hadn't expected the old man to manage it.
"Hahaha... Catching this little beast cost me quite the effort!"
"Wait until my grandson is born; he'll love it!"
Thinking about having such a young Demon Bird growing up with his grandson, soaring through the sky together, made the old man extremely happy.
Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wuxu were also very satisfied.
Such an ancient relic was absolutely precious.
Many powerful factions in the outside world would surely offer a huge price to get one.
Of course, they would definitely not trade it.
Keeping it as a mount for their son was much better, wasn't it?
"The mount Grandpa brought seems pretty good."
"But this time my reward is the Golden-Winged Roc Rune."
"Compared to that, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow doesn't seem much."
In Su Qingshuang's womb, Jiang Yuqiong thought.
Compared to the Golden-Winged Roc, the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow seemed somewhat lacking.
But then, thinking about riding this demonic bird through the heavens and earth would be quite majestic.
Flying by oneself and riding a fearsome beast to fly were different levels of coolness.
With this thought, Jiang Yuqiong happily accepted it.
Just then, a cold snort suddenly came from the distant sky.
"Jiang Taihang, you went deep into the Heavy Desolate just to bring back this to fool people?"
As soon as these words fell, Jiang Yuqiong's eyebrows raised.
He recognized the voice as belonging to his mother's father, his maternal grandfather — Su Yunfeng.
Two months ago, when his paternal grandfather ventured into the Heavy Desolate to find a mount, his maternal grandfather had left the Xuan Shuang Heavenly Grotto almost at the same time.
He said he was also going to catch a mount for his grandson.
It was clearly a competition with Jiang Taihang.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuqiong burst into laughter in his heart.
"Haha... Grandpa Su is back!"
"With these two old men together, there's going to be some fun to watch."
He couldn't help rubbing his hands together.
No need to say more, these two old men bumping into each other would definitely lead to a grand show.
