Because inside Shawn Carter's body, he discovered that apart from the Human Spring, at Shawn Carter's middle dantian he actually found the Earth Spring. My god, just over two hours ago he had just checked Shawn Carter's body, and at that time he had only just reached the peak of the Human Spring. This... it's only been two hours.

He... how could he possibly have reached the Human Spring? How is that possible?

How could this happen, how did he achieve it?

This... what is this even? It's only been just over two hours. Even his father James Carter, who was so heaven-defying back in the day and broke the Wu family's three-thousand-year record for the Human Spring realm, only did it in two and a half months. Yet he... only took just over two hours.

Thinking of this, Henry Carter couldn't help but knock his own head with his hand. Could it be that he was just confused?

No, that's not right. If it was his own cultivation, maybe after a few months in seclusion he could have gotten the time wrong, but this just happened two hours ago—how could he possibly misremember?

The more Henry Carter thought about it, the more shocked he became, and the colder his back felt. As the Wu family patriarch, he had roamed the world all his life and seen all kinds of major events. There really weren't many things that could terrify him, but at this moment he felt a chill running down his spine, because this was no longer just shock—it was terror.

Too terrifying. How could something like this happen? Breaking through in just over two hours—what does he think this is?

Thinking as he probed, Henry Carter suddenly snapped awake...

This... this...

This wasn't even the most outrageous part. The most outrageous thing was, is this kid's Human Spring even a Human Spring? Is this Earth Spring even an Earth Spring?

Other people's Human Spring and Earth Spring are about the size of a bowl, but his—well, his is the size of a washbasin, ten times bigger! The speed and flow of the power surging out is on a whole different level, impossible to calculate. And his body is even more terrifying than his power; its strength seems to have been tempered somehow, incomparably tough, not weaker than a late-stage Earth Spring realm, almost reaching the peak of the Earth Spring realm.

Henry Carter had lived nearly two hundred years and had seen more than his fair share of things, but this time he was truly dumbfounded.

Completely stunned. This can't be real, this can't be real...

He checked again and again, but no matter what, he just couldn't believe it was real. He stood there in a daze.

A Human Spring like this, an Earth Spring like this, breaking through in just two hours—no one would believe it if you told them.

If it hadn't been Henry Carter himself who checked Shawn Carter just two hours ago, he wouldn't have believed it either. There's just no way to make anyone believe it.

Because this had already shattered his two hundred years of understanding of the cultivation world, completely overturning everything he knew. What is this? How is this possible? This is just too terrifying!

"You... how did you... do this?" Having seen countless big events, he was now shocked by a little kid at the Three Springs realm. Even though in Henry Carter's eyes, even the Heaven Spring realm was just a kid, he knew all too well what this kind of breakthrough and change meant.

This was no ordinary breakthrough—it completely overturned the understanding of cultivation. Just over two hours, and the Earth Spring and Human Spring were both this terrifying. Is he even human?

But standing before him was indeed a Wu family descendant, the son of James Carter. Back when James Carter rose to power, it was still fresh in Henry Carter's memory, but he never imagined something even more shocking would happen to his son.

Shawn Carter himself had been frightened before, but at least he knew some of the causes and had experienced that special event.

Now, seeing the patriarch's reaction, Shawn Carter finally realized that this really was a big deal—even the patriarch was this scared.

"Heh... Patriarch, I... I don't know what happened either. I just went back to cultivate and suddenly it was like this. And when I broke through the Human Spring and Earth Spring, there were changes. I even absorbed that trace of innate primal spirit energy you gave me. Look, my arm is healed too."

"I was scared myself, that's why I rushed over here right away. Otherwise, how could I waste two such precious opportunities to consult you, Patriarch!" The arm's recovery and the absorption of the innate primal spirit energy couldn't be hidden, so Shawn Carter just said it directly.

As for the rest, Shawn Carter couldn't say. The patriarch hadn't even noticed the golden vortex, nor the trace of lightning power within it, or the fact that he had revived the flame tree. Shawn Carter knew it wasn't the right time to tell anyone. It wasn't that he didn't trust the patriarch, but some things just couldn't be explained. The patriarch couldn't see the golden vortex, and even when a vortex several kilometers wide appeared above the family, no one noticed. Saying anything else would only cause unnecessary trouble.

So Shawn Carter chose to avoid that topic, just wanting to see if there was any problem with his Human Spring and Earth Spring, and to let the patriarch know in advance to prevent any trouble in the future.

"What?" After hearing Shawn Carter's words, Henry Carter's brows furrowed tightly. He really couldn't imagine breaking through the bottleneck of the Human Spring and Earth Spring just by going back to cultivate. If it were that easy, what would all the so-called geniuses of the great families over thousands of years amount to? What about those who broke through in three months and shocked the Six Clans Alliance, their fame spreading to many neighboring countries?

Even Henry Carter himself had taken a little over three months back then to break through the bottleneck from Human Spring to Earth Spring.
