Chapter 22: Fusing the Golden-Winged Roc Rune, turning ancient relics into quails!
Once Jiang Taihang and Su Yunfeng started arguing, there seemed to be no end in sight.
They rolled up their sleeves, their auras surging and colliding with each other.
It looked like they were about to come to blows.
Jiang Wuxu and Su Qingshuang felt their heads swelling.
Jiang Wuxu, gritting his teeth, stepped forward to mediate.
But both old men glared at him ferociously, looking as if they'd take him down first if he dared say another word!
Jiang Wuxu was utterly cowed.
There was nothing he could do!
One was his own father, the other his father-in-law.
He couldn't afford to offend either.
Jiang Wuxu, a dignified Saint Ancestor with great cultivation, couldn't hold his head high in front of these two old men.
No, wait.
In front of Su Qingshuang, he was even more submissive.
And that unborn stinky brat had already surpassed him in status.
In this family, he was the one with the lowest standing.
As this thought crossed his mind, Jiang Wuxu felt a wave of helplessness.
Life was as lonely as snow!
"Please, both fathers, stop arguing."
"Whether it's the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow or the Azure Cloud Thunder Swan, why not let Yuqiong decide when he's born? How about that?"
At this time, Su Qingshuang spoke to mediate.
She directly brought up Jiang Yuqiong.
And you know what? It worked like magic.
As soon as the little one was mentioned, both old men reined in their auras and stopped bickering.
"Haha, has my grandson's name been decided? Jiang Yuqiong?"
"That name is really good, perfectly matching my grandson's demeanor and status!"
Jiang Taihang and Su Yunfeng immediately beamed with joy.
They were both quite satisfied with the name Jiang Yuqiong.
Jiang Wuxu and Su Qingshuang exchanged a look and gave a helpless smile.
The treatment of the little guy was indeed different; just mentioning his name was enough to make these two long-time rivals cease their conflict.
Exactly!
Even before he was born, both grandfathers were out competing to find him a mount.
"Alright, alright, alright! My grandson hasn't even been born yet, but he's already shown so many extraordinary signs!"
"When he comes into the world, he'll surely be even more brilliant!"
"Then let the young Sky-Swallowing Sparrow grow up with him as his mount."
Jiang Taihang stroked his beard, laughing heartily.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere outside the hall changed suddenly.
Especially Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wuxu, they both sensed something amiss.
Sure enough!
Su Yunfeng's eyes suddenly widened.
"Who said my grandson would choose that little sparrow?"
"If he chooses, it will definitely be my Azure Cloud Thunder Swan!"
He said with a cold snort.
Jiang Taihang's spirit rose, not backing down.
"That big white goose of yours? Better to stew it, probably wouldn't even fit in one pot."
"Jiang Taihang, say that again! Believe me, I'll scatter the ashes of your little sparrow!"
"Su Yunfeng, you dare to try? Be careful, I'll beat you so badly not even your mother would recognize you!"
"You want to fight, huh? Jiang Taihang, have the guts to fight me!"
"Fight then! Let's see how I deal with you today!"
As they spoke, they were about to come to blows again.
Veins on Jiang Wuxu's and Su Qingshuang's foreheads bulged like beans, jumping in agitation.
They thought it was settled just a moment ago.
How did it escalate again after just a few words?
Who could possibly handle these two old men?
Both of them rubbed their temples, feeling powerless.
In Su Qingshuang's womb, Jiang Yuqiong was also surprised by this turn of events.
"Crap! They're going to fight again!"
He liked watching the show, but not a real fight.
One was his grandfather, the other his maternal grandfather.
Both were family.
They could argue and bicker, but if they came to blows, it wouldn't be good.
"Whatever, I'll ignore them."
"With Mom, the Heavenly Emperor, here, they shouldn't cause any major trouble."
Jiang Yuqiong decided not to let it bother him.
He was still in the womb; he couldn't mediate between his grandfathers.
So, he might as well turn a deaf ear to it.
With his mother around, she should be able to "persuade" them.
"Let's focus on researching the rewards I've obtained this time."
"System, fuse the Golden-Winged Roc Talent Rune."
Jiang Yuqiong didn't think more about it and called out the system.
As soon as he gave the command,
Instantly, golden runes rose, flickering incessantly.
Powerful energy entered Jiang Yuqiong's body, merging with his bloodline, becoming part of him.
These runes evolved and transformed, carrying an overwhelmingly domineering force.
Under the influence of this power, various miraculous scenes appeared in Jiang Yuqiong's mind.
He felt as if he was in the ancient times, with dragons roaring and tigers howling, myriad races in their prime, each displaying their divine might!
Among them, a Golden-Winged Roc spread its wings, its feathers touching the sky!
Golden light rained down from the heavens!
With a slight flutter of its golden wings, it soared into the sky, covering thousands of miles in an instant!
One moment it was in front of you, the next, it was beyond the clouds of the ninth heaven!
No race in the world could match its speed!
At this moment, Jiang Yuqiong felt as if an ancient divine bird had awakened within him!
The Golden-Winged Roc's talent rune fused with him, making him feel like he had become a roc, roaming from the North Sea to the end of the world in one day.
Its speed was the fastest in the myriad worlds!
"Chirp!"
Invisibly, a high-pitched bird cry seemed to resound, piercing through layers of spatial barriers, shaking the soul.
Outside the hall, the four people's souls resonated with this bird cry.
Jiang Taihang and Su Yunfeng stopped their confrontation.
They were shocked to the core.
All four sets of eyes turned towards Su Qingshuang's belly in unison.
"Chirp!"
As they were filled with questions, another cry echoed.
This time, both the restrained Sky-Swallowing Sparrow and Azure Cloud Thunder Swan, these two ancient relics, prostrated themselves, trembling uncontrollably.
They bowed towards where Su Qingshuang was, as if there was an ultimate divine bird there, exerting a terrifying suppression from the deepest part of their bloodlines!
"What is Yuqiong doing this time?"
Jiang Wuxu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Su Qingshuang's expression became even more vivid.
She felt it most clearly.
The runes inside the fetus were boiling, changing, and evolving.
Behind that small body, it seemed as if two invisible golden wings had grown.
All these anomalies were brought about by those runes.
"Could this be..."
"The talent rune of the Golden-Winged Roc?"
Su Qingshuang said in astonishment.
Hearing her say this, Jiang Wuxu could no longer sit still and asked quickly.
"The Golden-Winged Roc, wasn't it extinct since ancient times?"
"How could Yuqiong have such a divine object?"
The Golden-Winged Roc existed only in legends.
It was an overwhelmingly strong being from ancient and primordial times, one of the most terrifying divine birds.
It could even rival the Heavenly Phoenix!
This was a supreme being.
The roc's speed was unrivaled throughout the universe!
Unfortunately, like the Heavenly Phoenix, the Golden-Winged Roc had vanished since ancient times, as if disappearing into the river of history.
But its legend continued to be documented and passed down.
"No mistake!"
"This must be the Golden-Winged Roc rune!"
"The Sky-Swallowing Sparrow and Azure Cloud Thunder Swan are both suppressed!"
Jiang Wuxu saw golden runes appearing in the air before him.
And the two ancient relics brought back by the grandfathers were now kneeling on the ground.
Especially the wild and untamable Sky-Swallowing Sparrow, now as docile as could be.
Under the pressure of the Golden-Winged Roc, both the Sky-Swallowing Sparrow and the Azure Cloud Thunder Swan were as meek as quails.
