NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14: This is blatantly coming to my house to show off!
The Eternal Mu Family resides in a majestic and grand city within the Tianlan Domain.
The city is home to billions of people and is extremely prosperous.
On the day the Absolute Spirit Sword Body awakened, someone heard an exuberant laugh echoing from within the Mu family, shaking the heavens.
"I never expected my grandson, Mu Nantian, to be so extraordinary!"
"Silent for seven years, but once he speaks, he astonishes the world!"
"Let me ask, among all the younger generations in this world—born or unborn—who can compare to him?!"
"Hahaha… Excellent!"
The voice belonged to an elder, the current head of the Mu family, Mu Nantian.
His words were filled with boundless pride.
And the implication of his words made people unconsciously think of the Emperor's Son.
It seemed even the Mu family believed their Absolute Spirit Sword Body was absolutely superior to the unborn Emperor's Son!
Naturally, Jiang Yuqiong himself was unaware of these external opinions.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
What Absolute Spirit Sword Body?
I'm a cheat-code player—dare to compare yourself to me?
If you really get on my bad side, whether you're an Absolute Spirit Sword Body or an Absolute Soul Sword Body, you're just a dish on the table, nothing more than fodder for my Heaven-Devouring Demonic Technique.
Or perhaps you'd like to taste a blast of my Celestial Calamity Light?
"I've finally broken through the 100,000-jin mark!"
"By this time tomorrow, breaking the Bone Tempering Extreme Realm will definitely be no problem!"
Inside the womb.
Jiang Yuqiong was thrilled.
He could clearly feel his strength growing rapidly.
Now, he had surpassed the 100,000-jin threshold.
With just over a day left, he had more than enough time to complete his task.
This godly speed left both Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wuxu utterly shocked.
Especially Jiang Wuxu, whose emotions were a mix of awe, astonishment, excitement, and a hint of envy.
This little brat!
In just half a month, he was about to break through the Bone Tempering Extreme Realm!
Half a month!
Back in the day, it took him nearly half a year to achieve the same breakthrough.
Jiang Yuqiong's speed was more than ten times faster than his!
This left Jiang Wuxu feeling a bit dejected.
But more than that, he was overjoyed.
The stronger his son became, wasn't the greatest credit his own?
Who made him my, Jiang Wuxu's, seed?
Time continued to flow, day and night alternating.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
To help Jiang Yuqiong break through the Extreme Realm in one go, Su Qingshuang was fully cooperative.
And today, the little guy had finally reached the final hurdle.
Outside the Mysterious Frost Cave Heaven, the vast and boundless vortex of spiritual energy covered the entire sky, spinning faster and faster.
Spiritual energy condensed into rain, gently falling.
The cultivators outside the cave heaven, taking advantage of this opportunity, were all incredibly excited.
Many saw their cultivation soar, their strength greatly increasing!
They felt deep gratitude toward the Frost Heavenly Emperor and the unborn Emperor's Son.
Outside the Mysterious Frost Cave Heaven, everything was harmonious.
Inside the cave heaven, there were no major events either. Jiang Wuxu, Su Qingtian, and Su Qingyu gathered in the courtyard, quietly waiting for Jiang Yuqiong to achieve his great success.
But at that moment, the void suddenly rippled, and several figures stepped out from the nothingness.
"Mu Nantian of the Mu Family from the Tianlan Domain has come to seek forgiveness from the Frost Heavenly Emperor!"
These people appeared outside the cave heaven, standing high in the sky, bowing in respect.
Their arrival caught the attention of the nearby cultivators.
Everyone knew that the sword physique phenomenon from a few days ago had slightly affected the Frost Heavenly Emperor.
Though it was minor, it had, after all, offended the Emperor, causing her displeasure.
At the time, someone from the Mu family had said they would soon come to apologize.
No one expected them to actually come, and so quickly!
"Guests are welcome—please come in!"
From the courtyard, Jiang Wuxu spoke.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the formation outside the cave heaven opened.
Immediately, the Mu family members flew in and landed outside the courtyard.
Then, they walked in on foot.
Leading them was an elder who appeared to be in his late fifties, with broad brows and a large forehead, dressed in luxurious robes. His entire presence exuded an aura of immense authority.
It was as if the Great Dao surrounded him, with the laws of the universe intertwining around him.
His might was unfathomable!
This man was none other than the current head of the Mu family—Mu Nantian!
A peerless powerhouse who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and reached the rank of Saint Ancestor!
Yet, even such a powerhouse, upon entering the courtyard, immediately restrained his aura.
Facing a younger Saint Ancestor like Jiang Wuxu, he directly performed a deep bow.
"Mu Nantian is here today to seek forgiveness from the Frost Heavenly Emperor and Saint Ancestor Wuxu!"
The two middle-aged men behind him also bowed in unison.
They all knew this bow wasn't just for Saint Ancestor Wuxu.
More importantly, it was an apology to the Frost Heavenly Emperor.
Jiang Wuxu smiled and gently raised his hand.
Mu Nantian felt as if an invisible hand lifted him, allowing him to stand upright again.
"Patriarch Mu need not be so formal. It's a minor matter, not worth mentioning."
"It was only because my wife was baptizing our son that day and was slightly affected, causing some anger."
"Since the matter has passed, Patriarch Mu need not take it to heart."
Jiang Wuxu said with a smile.
Since they had come to apologize in person, he couldn't hold onto the issue, nor would he actually do anything to the Mu family over it.
Besides, Su Qingshuang hadn't been significantly impacted.
Jiang Wuxu waved his hand, then gestured for Mu Nantian to sit and poured him a cup of tea.
"Hahaha… The Frost Heavenly Emperor is magnanimous, and this puts my heart at ease."
"For Saint Ancestor Wuxu to not hold a grudge and even offer tea, I'm truly humbled!"
Mu Nantian laughed heartily.
His smile carried an unmistakable air of triumph.
Jiang Wuxu chatted with him casually for a while.
Su Qingtian and Su Qingyu sat beside them, not interrupting.
Soon, the conversation naturally shifted to the unborn Emperor's Son and the Absolute Spirit Sword Body.
"I've long heard of the Emperor's Son's divine nature. Even before birth, he awakened a special physique, causing a heaven-shaking phenomenon that stunned the world!"
"In my humble opinion, the Emperor's Son will surely reach the pinnacle of achievement in the future, no less than his mother!"
Mu Nantian began with a grand wave of praise.
Flattery never fails!
Even Jiang Wuxu, hearing such praise for his son from a powerhouse no weaker than himself, felt extremely pleased.
He sipped his tea, smiling modestly in response.
Then, Mu Nantian suddenly let out a long sigh.
"To be honest, I'm ashamed. Though my grandson awakened the Absolute Spirit Sword Body, he still falls short compared to the Emperor's Son."
"Speaking of which, I must once again apologize to the Frost Heavenly Emperor and Saint Ancestor Wuxu."
"That day's phenomenon came too suddenly, especially since it directly covered more than a dozen domains."
"Our Mu family couldn't react in time, which led to offending the Emperor's majesty!"
"It took several of our ancestors working together, expending tremendous effort, to barely suppress it."
Mu Nantian said, stroking his beard.
Jiang Wuxu, listening to this, paused mid-motion while lifting his teacup.
Why did these words sound so off?
On the surface, he was saying his grandson couldn't compare to my son.
But between the lines, wasn't he implying that the sword physique phenomenon was so massive that even your entire family struggled to control it?
Good grief!
First, you shower my son with praise, then elevate your grandson even higher.
This old fox!
You didn't come here to apologize—you came to my house specifically to show off, didn't you?
