299: Chapter 299 What Jiang Hao Has Been Doing Quietly Over the Years

The boy looked only three or four years old; his eyes were closed, and his breathing was steady.

He was fair and tender, very cute, making one really want to pinch him.

Occasionally, a flicker of golden Qi and blood flashed around him, and Innate dao patterns flowed beneath his skin.

Feng Xi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly leaned in to take a closer look.

“Is this that little Qin Ming?” She turned back to look at Jiang Hao and asked.

“The son born to the Jade Lake Great Emperor and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body—the Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo?”

On the way to the Heavenly Courts Rear Garden, Jiang Hao had mentioned this little fellow to them.

He said this little guy was extraordinary, with a world-shaking talent and Physique that could rival a Chaos Body, and his future was limitless.

This made everyone particularly curious; it was extremely rare for someone to receive such praise from the Heavenly Emperor.

Feng Xi had been dying of curiosity for a long time. Now that she finally saw him, she wished she could glue her eyes to him.

The others also gathered around, observing closely.

Even through the Divine Source, they could clearly feel that terrifying aura.

The child inside the Divine Source had golden Qi and blood as vast as the sea, with Innate dao rhyme flowing ceaselessly.

Two completely different powers were perfectly fused together, forming an unprecedentedly terrifying Foundation for him.

“Good heavens...” Battle Saint Venerable murmured, “This Foundation is much stronger than my kid's was when he was little.”

One must know that the Little War Emperor was the biological son of his elder brother, the War Emperor, and his brother was far more powerful than an average Ancient Emperor.

Furthermore, their Battle Saint Ape Clan was already a very powerful race with a Heaven-Defying Bloodline.

The strength of their Bloodline could be seen from the fact that though their numbers were few, no one dared to provoke them, and being born into their Bloodline was difficult.

Even with those two factors combined, he still couldn't compare to the child before them—and it wasn't just a small gap; the difference was quite significant.

One could see just how terrifying this child was.

Hearing his uncle's words, the Little War Emperor felt a bit indignant, but after looking at the child in the Divine Source and then at himself, he silently shut his mouth.

Fine, when he was little, he really couldn't compare to this child.

Long Hao's tail swished back and forth as he said in surprise, “A Saint Body plus a Dao Embryo can actually produce such a monster? I really didn't expect that.”

Luo Hongchen lightly fanned his folding fan, sighing with emotion: “Indeed, the combination of two top-tier Physiques could actually create such a miracle. Impressive.”

Ancient God Child nodded: “Unprecedented, truly unprecedented.”

Feng Wu looked at the child, a look of amazement flashing in her eyes.

“I heard that when he was born, he was already a Saint?”

Jiang Hao nodded: “Yes, this little fellow was born a Saint. Later, I helped him sever his cultivation to reshape his Foundation. When he wakes up, he will be even stronger than he is now.”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent once more.

Born a Saint, reshaped Foundation, and can still become stronger?

Was this even a language they could understand?

With a future as bright as this child's, could one even sleep at night?

Feng Xi's eyes flickered, and she suddenly smiled.

With her hands on her hips, she said to the sleeping little Qin Ming inside the Divine Source:

“Little brother, grow up quickly. When you're born, Big Sis will take you out to play. Big Sis will protect you, and no one will dare to bully you!”

Feng Xi had realized that the Heavenly Emperor's Rear Garden was full of monsters. Since she couldn't compete, she had to think of another way.

She had to establish her status while they were still young and hadn't been born yet, and latch onto their thighs. As long as she had enough powerful thighs to lean on, she would be invincible.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Long Hao laughed so hard he slapped his thigh: “Girl Feng Xi, you're dreaming. He's a world-shaking Prodigy born as a Saint, yet you want to be his 'Big Sis'? Can you even beat him?”

Feng Xi replied proudly: “Why wouldn't I be able to beat him? No matter how much of a Prodigy they are, they still need to develop. In the early stages, they definitely won't be able to beat me. I'll just suppress them with my Realm; they won't escape the palm of my hand.

When they are born, I'll first nurture our relationship and instill the idea that I'm the Big Sis. Later on, would they have the heart to hit me?”

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Hao and blinked: “Great Emperor, what do you think of my idea?”

Jiang Hao smiled and patted her head.

“Sure, when they're born, you take them out to play and be their boss.”

Feng Xi's eyes lit up, her smile blossoming like a flower.

“Auntie, did you hear that? The Great Emperor agreed!” She pulled on Feng Wu's sleeve.

“In the future, with my Heavenly Emperor Uncle protecting me, and with little brother Qin Ming and the Little Ancestor in the immortal egg following me, I'll see who dares to mess with me!”

Feng Wu looked at her niece helplessly and said,

“Fine, fine, as long as you're happy.”

But her eyes were full of doting affection.

The others laughed even harder.

...

The night grew deep.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Jiang Hao and Feng Wu in the Heavenly Courts Rear Garden.

Moonlight spilled down, the Immortal Pond shimmered, and several stalks of undying medicine swayed gently, scattering bits of divine radiance as if adding a touch of romance to this rare moment of solitude.

The two stood side by side by the pond, looking at the moon's reflection in the water.

Jiang Hao reached out and gently took Feng Wu's hand.

Feng Wu trembled slightly; that hand was warm and strong, enveloping her hand as if it were enveloping her entire being.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Hao.

Under the moonlight, the lines of his profile were soft, and his gaze was so tender it was intoxicating.

“Feng Wu,” Jiang Hao called her name softly.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Hao turned his head to look at her.

Their eyes met.

Moonlight fell upon her face; in those phoenix eyes, there was tenderness, shyness, and a deep affection that had been hidden for two hundred thousand years.

Jiang Hao raised his hand and gently caressed her cheek.

“These years, it's been hard on you.”

Jiang Hao gently pulled her into his arms and held her tight. For all those years before he sealed himself, she had been waiting for him without any regrets. Those days of silent waiting were not easy.

Feng Wu buried her face in his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

It was steady and powerful, making her feel very safe.

“It wasn't hard; for you, I am willing.”

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips.

It was very light and soft.

Jiang Hao was slightly stunned for a moment, then he reached out to wrap his arms around her waist and returned the kiss.

Moonlight spilled down, the Immortal Pond shimmered, and the two lovers were as tender as water.

It was a long time before the two separated.

Feng Wu buried her face in Jiang Hao's chest and said softly, “I plan to prove the Dao in a while.”

Jiang Hao nodded: “Okay.”

“Aren't you going to ask if I'm confident?”

“No need to ask.” Jiang Hao looked down at her, “I believe you definitely can!”

Feng Wu looked up at him and blinked.

“You trust me that much?”

Jiang Hao smiled.

“Of course, you are the Heavenly Phoenix Fairy.”

Jiang Hao looked at Feng Wu, having great faith in her strength.

Feng Wu was originally a Prodigy with the potential to prove the Dao.

It was just that Jiang Hao's brilliance during the same period was too dazzling; the brilliance of people like Feng Wu was simply overshadowed by him.

Furthermore, knowing that his beloved was going to seal herself, how could Jiang Hao do nothing?

From the day she sealed herself, Jiang Hao's efforts had never ceased.

The nine cauldrons were distributed to suppress the heavens, and one of them was in the Phoenix Realm.

Over these years, through that cauldron, Jiang Hao had sent dao rhyme, insights into the Great Dao, as well as treasures like the Spring of Creation and Immortal Pond liquid that could nourish the Bloodline at regular intervals.

Day after day, year after year, it never stopped.

This continued for two hundred thousand years. During these two hundred thousand years, although Feng Wu was in a slumbering self-seal, her strength had been constantly evolving and evolving.

What Jiang Hao wanted was not for her to reluctantly prove the Dao, but for her to take that step in her best possible state.

The current Feng Wu had made great strides in strength, and her Bloodline had also evolved.

She was now no different from a pure-blooded True Phoenix.

This was also why Jiang Hao had not opposed Feng Wu's self-sealing; he had this plan all along.

The temporary parting was for a better reunion.

Even Feng Xi had benefited, and her Bloodline had also evolved.

This was also the reason why that immortal egg was so excited when it saw the aunt and niece.

In its perception, these were two kin with extremely high Bloodline purity.

Feng Wu looked at Jiang Hao, her eyes shimmering with tears.
