It was no exaggeration to say that any cultivator who saw Jiang Tingting before them would be astonished.
Although the Taiyin Physique had various flaws, including a short lifespan, its cultivation speed truly left everyone else in the dust, with none able to compare.
And as they watched Little Tingting's performance, Jiang Yifei and his two companions grew even more determined to bring her back to the Jiang Family.
Such fine timber and beautiful jade-bringing her back to the clan would surely be a great achievement.
Of the three, Jiang Yifei was the calmest. Looking at Little Tingting before him, he could still barely maintain his composure, though an unusual gleam shone in his eyes.
"Little sister, who taught you your cultivation method?"
He bent down to look at Little Tingting before him and asked softly.
"My master taught me."
Little Tingting's voice was clear and pleasant to the ear.
She was not particularly wary of the three clansmen who had come from afar and told them directly about her cultivation.
"Master?"
Hearing Little Tingting's words, Jiang Yifei and his two companions frowned.
If she had a master, things would become more troublesome.
Still, since the other party was a cultivator, they had presumably heard of the Jiang Family's mighty reputation.
If they used the opportunity to join the Jiang Family to win this person over, there was no fear they would remain unmoved.
"Could you let us meet your master?"
Jiang Caixuan was beautiful and had a noble bearing, looking like a lofty princess, but she was gentle and friendly toward Little Tingting now and spoke with a smile.
"Sure."
Little Tingting's clear voice rang out. "Master is already over there."
What?
Following the direction Little Tingting indicated, all three raised their heads at once.
The figure of a young man came into view.
Bang!
The next moment, heaven and earth seemed to twist.
The void trembled as a vast divine might pressed toward them, as though a legendary Mighty Figure stood there, exerting boundless pressure.
The young man stood there, seemingly wearing a gentle smile, but the peerless majesty emanating from him crushed everything, making Jiang Yifei and his two companions tremble involuntarily.
"This feeling..."
Among the three, even the most arrogant and spoiled Jiang Yichen was horrified. "Could he be an ancient Mighty Figure?"
"Who exactly is he?"
An unusual light shone in Jiang Caixuan's beautiful eyes as various thoughts flashed through her mind. "I already know every Mighty Figure in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland, and there is no such person among them. Could he be a Mighty Figure who has remained in seclusion all this time?"
As for Jiang Yifei, his body had already gone rigid.
As the one who hid his abilities most deeply among the three, he might well have been the Jiang Family's most outstanding prodigy of this generation. Naturally, the mere presence of a Mighty Figure would not have intimidated him.
What truly stunned him was the wisp of origin presence inadvertently revealed within Chen Yu's presence.
Like a god and like a sage, as though a divine sovereign had descended to reign, that origin presence was terrifying beyond measure. Just a tiny trace made Jiang Yichen's entire body freeze completely, plunging him into a state of instinctive resistance.
It felt like a mortal facing a God King. No matter how hard one tried, one could only kneel and look up, beneath an incomparable weight and majesty.
What physique is this?
Jiang Yifei was horrified.
It was not as though he had never encountered those special physiques.
Besides the Ji Family, the Jiang Family had also produced a Divine Body in this generation. He had faced that person before, and the impression they gave him was merely ordinary, nowhere near the terrifying pressure Chen Yu exerted on him now.
Jiang Caixuan and Jiang Yichen beside him felt little of this.
Their spiritual senses were not keen enough, and their origins were not powerful enough, so they could not detect the trace of origin presence leaking from Chen Yu and naturally felt little.
Of everyone present, perhaps only Ye Fan behind them had a feeling similar to Jiang Yichen's.
The instant Chen Yu revealed his presence, Ye Fan's body began glowing involuntarily.
As though sensing one of its own kind, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body began to revive instinctively. His golden Bitter Sea stirred, sending out peals of thunder.
The instincts of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body were awakening, as though it had sensed something, and it was now enduring an immense pressure.
My physique is awakening on its own.
Ye Fan was also somewhat horrified. What exactly is that presence, so similar to the Sacred Body's and yet utterly different?
He had a premonition that Chen Yu's physique was most likely extremely powerful, perhaps far more terrifying than even the legendary Desolate Ancient Sacred Body at its peak.
Given the mystery and strength Chen Yu had always displayed, this did not feel out of place at all.
The only thing Ye Fan did not understand was why Chen Yu's physique would reveal a presence so similar to that of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
Could his physique have some connection to the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body?
The next moment, the presence emanating from Chen Yu vanished, as though it had never appeared.
Standing where he was, he looked at Jiang Yichen before him with some surprise. "I still haven't reined it in completely, allowing a little of my presence to leak out?"
Through his efforts over this period, Chen Yu had largely reined in the unique presence of his Divine Sacred Body. As long as he did not actively release it, no one would notice.
But now it seemed that his control was clearly not quite perfect.
Ordinary people were one thing, but someone like Jiang Yifei, with a powerful origin and keen spiritual senses, could still sense the presence unique to the Divine Sacred Body.
He still needed to improve his control.
"Senior, are you Tingting's master?"
Jiang Caixuan steeled herself and addressed Chen Yu before her. "Our elders instructed us to bring Granduncle and his family back to the Jiang Family. Please accommodate us, Senior."
"If you are willing, Senior, you may also join our Jiang Family along with Granduncle and Tingting. I believe our elders would likewise be delighted to see you arrive."
"I have little interest in joining the Jiang Family."
Chen Yu's expression was calm as he spoke. "There is no need to say anything more. Please leave."
The disparity in their strength was enormous, and Chen Yu could not be bothered to waste words on them, so he simply sent them away.
"Senior, could you also be a member of our Jiang Family?"
At that moment, Jiang Yifei suddenly spoke, looking at Chen Yu before him. "Within your body, I sensed the presence of our Jiang Family's bloodline."
As his words fell, the eyes of Jiang Caixuan and Jiang Yichen beside him could not help lighting up.
Chen Yu's strength was unfathomable. One look was enough to tell that he was an extraordinarily powerful senior Mighty Figure.
If such a Mighty Figure were a member of their Jiang Family living beyond the clan, bringing him back would surely be a great achievement.
"A member of the Jiang Family?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "In terms of bloodline, perhaps I could count as one."
"But I have no interest in your Jiang Family."
The Jiang Family bloodline the other party had sensed was most likely real.
After the nourishment of the Origin Blood of All Things earlier, the various imperial bloodlines within his body had revived, including the bloodline representing the Shennong Clan.
And the Shennong Clan's predecessor was none other than the founding ancestor of the Jiang Family, Emperor Hengyu.
