"You insolent brats! State your names at once!"
The thunderous voice boomed like divine judgment from the heavens.
In the next moment, Jiang Yunhuang descended from the sky with a resounding crash!
"Boom—"
Despite his advanced age, the old man was towering and imposing, standing over two meters tall with an intimidating presence.
This old man was clearly unreliable—every word spoken by the ancestors of the Jiang family in their ancestral grounds had gone in one ear and out the other.
The Nine Heavens Jiang Clan had long since taken control of all the spatial nodes connecting the mortal realm from the "Heavenly Domain." The only ones who could descend were members of the Jiang family.
"A... Ascension Realm cultivator?"
The leader of the Jiang family members was slightly startled but remained composed—after all, every member of their group who had descended was an Ascension Realm expert!
"Who are you? Why have you appeared in the Jiang family's altar?"
A middle-aged man stepped forward, revealing his cultivation at the Third Revolution of the Ascension Realm—a level even higher than Jiang Yunhuang's.
The early Ascension Realm was currently the highest cultivation level that could descend to Blue Star!
At the sight of Jiang Yunhuang, an Ascension Realm cultivator, Jiang Chusheng's heart sank.
Had news of the Saint Body in the mortal realm leaked? Had another faction beaten them to it?
If that were the case... things would become troublesome!
Their mission in descending was to protect the Saint Body and ensure the Jiang family remained unscathed during the impending upheaval of the spiritual revival.
Instantly, the other four members beside Jiang Chusheng stepped forward.
Apart from Jiang Chusheng, the rest were all at the Second Revolution of the Ascension Realm!
This was the absolute limit!
The early Ascension Realm was the altar gate's restriction—not the Jiang family's!
"Ah? You... you are..."
Jiang Yunhuang was dumbfounded, initially overwhelmed by the aura of these five Ascension Realm cultivators.
Five Ascension Realm experts dispatched at once? And one of them was stronger than him?
Was this a sign of impending catastrophe?
But he quickly regained his composure—these people didn’t seem hostile toward him.
In a daze, he vaguely recalled the ramblings of those old ghosts in the Jiang family ancestral hall.
"Are you... from the Nine Heavens Jiang Clan?" Jiang Yunhuang asked softly.
"Correct! We have descended under the orders of the Jiang family’s patriarch for an important mission!" Jiang Chusheng and the others nodded in unison.
Jiang Yunhuang: "..."
"Heh, so we’re all from the Jiang family! What a misunderstanding—we’re practically family!"
Jiang Yunhuang instantly performed a flawless about-face.
One moment, he was a majestic and bloodthirsty warlord; the next, he transformed into a kindly old grandfather.
Retracting his spiritual energy, Jiang Yunhuang declared, "I am the current patriarch of the Jiang family in the mortal realm. My name is Jiang Yunhuang."
...
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Yunhuang finally understood the full story.
"You're saying... my grandson is a Saint Body?" The old man’s eyes widened, nearly overwhelmed by euphoria.
He had no idea what a Saint Body was, but if even the Nine Heavens considered it rare, how could he not be excited?
"Exactly. Our mission is to protect the Saint Body and the Jiang family. Once the gates fully reopen... even stronger experts will cross over until the Saint Body matures completely..."
"Uh... hold on, let me contact my grandson first."
Unfortunately, at this moment, Jiang Yunhuang couldn’t reach Jiang Che—he was currently battling in the Dragon Palace’s depths, where no signal could penetrate.
"Ah... Che is occupied at the moment. Please stay here for now!"
Jiang Chusheng and the others nodded. "No problem, we can wait. By the way, Patriarch Jiang, how old are you this year?"
The group quickly fell into conversation, mostly discussing the spiritual revival.
But soon, upon learning about the current state of Blue Star, they were utterly stunned.
"Th-that’s impossible! Where did you get so many pills?"
"Spirit stones? Blue Star has only just begun its spiritual revival. Forget millions of low-grade spirit stones—even a thousand would be hard to come by!"
In the Jiang family, low-grade spirit stones were practically worthless—they paved their floors with mid-grade spirit stones!
Yet such an enormous quantity of low-grade spirit stones in the mortal realm? How?
Jiang Chusheng and the others exchanged glances. It must have been bestowed by some ancestor hoping to recruit the Saint Body!
For those at the Creation Realm or even the Emperor Realm, millions of low-grade spirit stones were nothing—even hundreds of millions of mid-grade stones were mere pocket change.
"The Saint Body truly lives up to its name—his intellect is monstrous!"
Jiang Chusheng couldn’t help but praise.
Jiang Che’s strategy left them in awe.
For a Saint Body’s cultivation speed, the impure spiritual energy from low-grade stones was worse than absorbing ambient energy directly!
The Nine Heavens Jiang Clan’s young masters trained using nothing below high-grade spirit stones—most used top-grade or even saint-grade stones.
Jiang Che had monopolized the future cultivation resources!
Even if more experts descended from the Nine Heavens, the Saint Body’s overwhelming growth would allow him to dominate the entire situation with absolute strength!
As they conversed, a commotion arose from the Cultivator Academy.
"Jiang Ruoxu! I challenge you!"
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully acting tough. Reward: 80,000 Ironhead Points.]
"Oh? You want to challenge me? How about I give you one hand?"
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully showing off. Reward: 50,000 Brag Points.]
"One hand? Hahaha... Senior Jiang, I was just joking earlier!"
Even Jiang Che probably never anticipated this bizarre loophole.
Chu Yuan, despite being bound to the Ironhead System, wasn’t foolish enough to challenge an unbeatable opponent—he’d provoke first, earn his points, then immediately back down!
Of course, such exploits could only work for so long—sooner or later, it would backfire.
"Hmm? Patriarch Jiang, what’s this about?" Jiang Chusheng asked curiously.
Jiang Yunhuang chuckled. "That’s just my useless grandson sparring with someone."
Mentioning Jiang Ruoxu, Jiang Yunhuang couldn’t help but feel a hint of pride.
"My grandson’s cultivation speed is remarkable. Despite the spiritual revival having just begun, he’s already reached the late Sky-Shattering Stage!"
"Oh? Truly?" Jiang Chusheng’s eyes lit up.
This old man’s genes were impressive—a Saint Body for a grandson, and his own bloodline likely boasted at least a Heavenly Spiritual Root!
It was a shame they hadn’t brought any tools to test spiritual roots or physiques.
"Absolutely! My grandson’s aptitude is outstanding—he just lacks cultivation resources!"
Jiang Yunhuang shamelessly hinted, practically screaming "Give us money!" without saying it outright.
Jiang Chusheng’s lips twitched. This old man had no shame! But what could they do?
He was the Saint Body’s grandfather, after all. Moreover, Jiang Yunhuang had already comprehended the King’s Martial Mark—breaking through to the Creation Realm would be effortless, and he might even touch the threshold of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
A future Quasi-Emperor still deserved respect!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
