"Father, was this Celestial Phenomenon caused by Mother's breakthrough?"
However!
Cheng Buzheng seemed not to have heard him at all, his eyes still fixed tightly on the Quiet Room before him.
Seeing his father like this, Cheng Ping'an did not ask again, but he already had the answer in his heart.
After all!
In his memories, his father had always been a powerful figure who never let joy or anger show on his face.
He rarely revealed such a nervous expression.
Unless it concerned his mother's safety...
Otherwise.
He would never display the emotions in his heart so openly.
Therefore!
Though Cheng Buzheng gave no response, Cheng Ping'an had already reached a definite conclusion in his heart.

Father and son waited quietly in the rear courtyard.
Meanwhile, the strange phenomenon above the Secret Realm continued to change, its range steadily spreading.
The crimson clouds, as though the sky itself were on fire, nearly blanketed the entire void.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

A colossal phantom of a Phoenix appeared in the void, blotting out the heavens and covering the earth. Its cry shook the boundless sky.
At this sight.
After being tense for so long, a trace of delight surfaced in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, and the smile at the corners of his lips could no longer be suppressed.
Cheng Ping'an noticed the subtle change in his father's expression...
He also knew that the sudden transformation in the void was undoubtedly a good thing.
It was very likely that Mother had successfully broken through.
Otherwise!
His father, who had been so tense all this time, would not have revealed such joy.
Still, Cheng Ping'an wanted to make certain, so he immediately asked:
"Father, did Mother succeed in her breakthrough?"
Just
