Eastern Azure Sky Are There Also Members of the Jiang Family Up There

After a lengthy conversation spanning two hours, Jiang Yunhuang finally grasped most of the situation.

Jiang Tiedan was indeed one of the Jiang family ancestors who had ascended centuries ago. After reaching the Martial God realm, the ancestor attempted ascension and eventually arrived at a place called "Eastern Azure Heaven," a land overflowing with spiritual energy.

There, another branch of the Jiang family existed—a colossal force dominating an entire region. The founding patriarch of that Jiang family had ascended from the Jiang family on Earth, meaning the two lineages were intricately connected.

"Earth is a nurturing ground for the origin, giving rise to the Nine Heavens scattered across the world. Previously, the 'Severance of Heaven and Earth' prevented interference... Even we couldn’t intervene. But now, the seals on the gates are gradually weakening..."

Jiang Yunhuang listened in stunned silence. He had never imagined... that their Jiang family had connections in a place like "Eastern Azure Heaven"?

A chrysanthemum-like grin bloomed across his aged face.

Now he had an ancestor too—he could finally enjoy the thrill of throwing his weight around!

Recently, several Sky-Shattering Realm experts had put immense pressure on him, and he knew more mysterious powerhouses would emerge from behind the gates in the future.

If he couldn’t win a fight, he could just drop the Jiang family’s name—maybe that alone would protect him!

"Ancestor, do you have any treasures on you? Last time, a few Sky-Shattering Realm experts came through the gates, and this old bones nearly didn’t make it!"

"Nothing. My ability to manifest across realms is solely due to our shared bloodline. How could I bring anything with me? Though, for you to reach the Sky-Shattering Realm in this era of withered spiritual energy... you must have encountered a heaven-defying opportunity."

Jiang Yunhuang’s ears were practically calloused from hearing this.

Honestly, he had the urge to smash the old man’s memorial tablet.

His so-called "heaven-defying opportunity"... was none other than his precious grandson.

"Enough, enough. My energy is nearly depleted. We’ll talk again next time... If you face trouble, don’t hesitate. Remember, a mighty family stands behind you!"

Jiang Tiedan spoke with unwavering confidence before dissolving into a wisp of white smoke.

Jiang Yunhuang stood frozen in silence for a good ten minutes before snapping back to reality.

"Our Jiang family has influence up there too? Well, it makes sense... given how many ancestors mysteriously vanished while guarding the gates..."

Still, given Jiang Yunhuang’s cautious nature, he didn’t fully trust Jiang Tiedan’s words.

"I should discuss this with Che’er. After all, he has that enigmatic and powerful master behind him—he’d know more about these things."

With that thought, Jiang Yunhuang hurriedly left the ancestral hall.

"Grandfather? What’s the matter—?"

Jiang Ruoxu happened to be passing by and looked at Jiang Yunhuang with curiosity. He had never seen his grandfather so flustered before.

"Finished your homework yet?" Jiang Yunhuang grumbled.

As the saying goes, "no comparison, no harm." Before Jiang Che produced the Life-Extending Pill, he had doted on his exceptionally talented grandson. But after witnessing Jiang Che’s monstrous abilities... even his own grandson didn’t seem as precious anymore.

"Grandfather... I... I don’t want to do homework anymore! I don’t want to go to school—I want to step into the cultivation world through martial arts!"

Jiang Ruoxu declared passionately.

Since reaching the Grandmaster Realm, his cultivation had soared unstoppably. He could crush veteran Grandmasters effortlessly!

And he was only sixteen—a sixteen-year-old Grandmaster was practically unheard of.

Aside from the few freaks in his family, he was unrivaled in brilliance.

But then, a few cultivators from behind the gates had nearly beaten him to a pulp.

Now, he never wanted to study again. He just wanted to train like his life depended on it—until he stood at the pinnacle of martial arts!

Jiang Yunhuang glanced at Jiang Ruoxu but said nothing more.

In the past, he would’ve scolded him and sent him back to his books.

Back then, the peak of Earth’s ancient martial world was the Grandmaster Realm. No matter how gifted Jiang Ruoxu was, breaking through was nearly impossible.

But now? It was clear that countless cultivators from other worlds would soon arrive on Earth.

Personal strength was non-negotiable.

"Ruoxu, if you don’t want to study, fine. But you must promise me... you’ll reach the Sky-Shattering Realm as soon as possible. If you truly can’t break through... go find your brother Jiang Che. He has plenty of Sky-Shattering Pills—he won’t hesitate to give you one."

Jiang Ruoxu nearly jumped for joy when he heard he could quit school.

But the moment Jiang Che’s name was mentioned, his expression stiffened.

"Listen, boy. Your brother Jiang Che is an absolute powerhouse you must cling to. You’ll need his help many times in the future..."

[You hear that, you ungrateful disciple? Young Master Jiang is the real deal! No matter how powerful your system is, can it compare to the existence behind him?]

His master, Mo Lianxing, fanned the flames.

She was already looking forward to meeting Jiang Che again—he had promised her... that he would ask his master to refine a supreme-grade Body Sculpting Pill for her.

Though the price he demanded...

Just thinking about Jiang Che’s "request" made her cheeks flush.

"Master... I..."

Jiang Ruoxu was miserable, but there was nothing he could do. Jiang Che was indeed his great benefactor—without him, his master would’ve already been scattered to the winds.

[Master? What master? Did you not hear your grandfather? He wants you to reach the Sky-Shattering Realm ASAP! I’ve already given you the cultivation manual, and that tiny plot of supreme-grade spirit farmland holds nearly boundless spiritual energy—enough to push you to the Sky-Shattering Realm! If you’re not there in three months, don’t call yourself my disciple!]

This damn disciple was nothing compared to Young Master Jiang.

Jiang Ruoxu: "......"

His master used to be cold and aloof but at least patient when teaching him. Now? That gentle mentor was long gone.

......

Jiang Family Residence.

"Finally broke through to the Sky-Shattering Realm. Damn, that was exhausting!"

Jiang Che clutched his aching waist, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead.

He had secluded himself for five whole days, cultivating nonstop with the girls in his villa before finally breaking through from Grandmaster to Sky-Shattering Realm!

"Hehe, Jiang Che, your talent isn’t even as good as mine!"

Yu Wan’er stood at the foot of the bed, hands on her hips, wearing a smug grin.

Her snow-white skin was sheathed in a milky-white aura of protective energy.

That’s right—Yu Wan’er had also stepped into the Master Realm!

Of course, she didn’t know a single martial technique. Her immense internal energy was entirely force-fed by Jiang Che.

"Hmph..."

Jiang Che let out a light chuckle. Yu Wan'er had grown increasingly bold these days. In the past, she wouldn’t have dared to provoke him, but now, with her cultivation elevated and her physique strengthened, her ability to take a hit had practically maxed out—naturally, she felt emboldened enough to push his buttons.

But Jiang Che paid her no mind. Instead, he focused on sensing the shifts in his own power.

The gap between the Shattering Heaven stage and the Grandmaster realm was as vast as an unbridgeable chasm!

Before Jiang Che could even savor the changes in his strength, his phone rang.
