Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo
Chapter 433 Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun
Chapter 433 Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun
“Ha ha–“
Hearing the word “Daddy”, Zhu Kun’s body shook violently. He raised his head and laughed wildly, but a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.
That majestic face was actually smiling with tears at this moment, like a child who finally found his beloved thing. His choked voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed: “My dear daughter… Your father has finally waited for this day!”
Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded secretly in his heart, then said, “Zi Yan, I’ll go take a look inside”, patted Zi Yan’s shoulder, and walked towards the inside of the cave.
Now that the platform for communication has been set up, it’s time for me to step aside!
Zi Yan and Zhu Kun, the father and daughter meet again after many years. This is a time that belongs to the two of them. Even though he has a close relationship with Zi Yan, it is not appropriate to “disturb” her here!
He himself has better things to do.
Seeing Lin Yuan being so considerate, Zhu Kun nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Then, he took a deep breath, strode forward, and hugged Zi Yan tightly in his arms – he had been looking forward to this day for too long!
This sudden hug made Zi Yan a little overwhelmed and her body stiffened slightly.
But soon, a soft look flashed in her eyes, and she raised her hand and patted Zhu Kun on the back: “Okay, stop being so mushy, old man!”
Having said that, her body showed no sign of struggling.
Zi Yan could feel her father’s trembling voice and his extremely excited mood. She grew up with Lin Yuan by her side and had been a wife for several years. Although she was still as innocent as before, she was more considerate.
This kind consideration also made Zhu Kun feel more sympathetic towards her.
After a long time, Zhu Kun reluctantly let go of Zi Yan, put his hands on the girl’s shoulders, looked at her carefully, his eyes full of love.
“Zi Yan, what a great name!”
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of pride appeared in his eyes, “As expected of this emperor’s daughter, not only is she so powerful, but she’s also so beautiful… She really looks like your mother…”
At this point, he seemed to recall something, and a gentle look appeared on his face.
“My mother?” Zi Yan bit her lower lip lightly. After hesitating for a moment, she asked curiously, “What kind of person is she, my mother?”
“Your mother, she is my pride!”
Zhu Kun smiled, his voice was a little more proud, but also a little more guilty: “She is the same as you, not only powerful, but also the most beautiful girl in our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan… No, the most beautiful girl in the world…”
As he spoke, he gently raised his palm, his fingertips trembled slightly, and a soft light bloomed from his palm, gradually condensing into an illusory picture.
In the picture, a beautiful woman in a lavender dress is standing quietly in a sea of flowers.
Her appearance was almost 80% similar to Zi Yan’s, but she looked much more mature, and her temperament also had a bit more maternal gentleness.
“Look, this is your mother.”
Looking at the beautiful light and shadow of the faint smile in the picture, Zhu Kun’s eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, and his voice trembled a little.
He felt extremely guilty towards Zi Yan, partly because of his careless words to his late wife – he had not fulfilled his late wife’s request to “take good care of our daughter”!
Hearing Zhu Kun’s words, Zi Yan was slightly startled, then her eyes widened and she stared at the purple-haired woman in the picture.
This is her mother. There is a very warm feeling between her brows!
“Your mother and I are…”
As Zhu Kun told her story, Zi Yan gradually came to understand that forgotten history.
–
On the other side, after Lin Yuan walked forward for a few minutes, he paused and his eyes were fixed on a distant place.
There, faintly, a ball of light emerged.
After a slight hesitation, he once again explored with his soul power, and after a simple test with his clone and puppet, he continued to fly away. As he gradually approached the ball of light, he also took in the situation inside the ball of light.
It was a stone gate, a huge ancient stone gate that was tens of thousands of feet long!
The stone gate stands quietly in the vast space, as if it had existed forever. An ancient and wild aura permeated the air, rippling throughout the world.
Lin Yuan’s eyes swept across the stone gate and finally stopped at the top of the stone gate, where four ancient characters were carved.
“Ancient Emperor’s Cave!”
The ancient font is square and simple, without any gorgeous embellishment, so it looks plain. However, it is in this plainness that an endless majesty that transcends heaven and earth constantly emanates from it.
Looking at those four ancient characters, even though Lin Yuan had expected it, he still couldn’t help but feel his heart tremble at this moment.
However, after looking at it for a while, he looked away.
He could sense that the closer he got to the stone door, the greater the pressure he felt, and now he couldn’t even stand in front of the stone door.
In this case, there is no need to put too much thought on it for the time being.
“Today is the day Zi Yan and her daughter are reunited, so we should celebrate! In this case, let’s cook for free after a long time!” With his heart at ease, Lin Yuan flipped his hand, and many ingredients and kitchen utensils flew out from a storage ring.
Then, he stretched out his hands and formed several seals smoothly: “Shadow Clone!”
The moment the seal was formed, his body shook violently, and dozens of silver beams of light shot out and transformed into dozens of clones identical to Lin Yuan.
“start–“
With a loud laugh, Lin Yuan glanced at his clones indifferently, and a wisp of ice-blue flame rose from his fingertips.
Soon, waves of tempting aroma wafted out from the cauldron.
–
After an hour, Zhu Kun’s narration finally came to an end.
“hehe–“
Zhu Kun laughed at himself and sighed faintly: “Sorry, kid, it’s all my fault!”
“When I reached the peak of my cultivation, I thought I was very powerful and thought that the Ancient Emperor’s Cave Mansion was just a trick left by the Dou Emperor. I was strong enough to deal with it with my strength that spanned the continent. So after trying it out to no avail, I wanted to forcefully open the Ancient Emperor’s Cave Mansion.”
“However, there is a huge difference between the Dou Emperor and those below him! That bastard Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is also very special, and his strength is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary Dou Emperor…”
“With just the few tricks he left behind, I am completely trapped here. I can’t see any hope of escape!”
At this point, a trace of deep regret flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Zhu Kun was not unaware of the power of the Dou Emperor, but faced with the temptation of a breakthrough, greed took over his mind, coupled with a misjudgment of his strength…
In the end, he was blinded by greed and went astray.
This time he went astray and paid a huge price – he failed to fulfill the promise he made to his wife; he was trapped in this space and endured thousands of years of darkness and loneliness; more importantly, he almost lost his child.
During the communication with Zi Yan, Zhu Kun learned that during Zi Yan’s childhood, she had a period of time when she was helpless, bullied by other monsters, and even in danger of her life.
At that moment, he felt even more deeply what a stupid thing he had done!
On the other side, after listening to Zhu Kun’s story, Zi Yan finally let go of some of the grudge in her heart – this bastard father seemed to have really regretted his mistakes!
In this case, as the Dragon Emperor, you should be more open-minded. Moreover, if it weren’t for the past, she wouldn’t have met Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan alone was enough to make up for all the grievances in the past, but…
After a moment of hesitation, a fierce light flashed in Zi Yan’s eyes, and she said fiercely: “Big idiot, although you have many reasons, I still feel a little unhappy! Let me hit you, let me vent, you are not allowed to hide or block!”
Hearing Zi Yan’s words, Zhu Kun was not worried but happy. He opened his arms as he was told and allowed him to attack without any defense: “Okay! My dear daughter, hit me as you like… Your father will not dodge or defend!”
He could see that his daughter was just as straightforward as her mother.
With this kind of personality, as long as I let her vent her resentment, she will quickly forgive me for this blessing, and I will feel better after being beaten.
“Humph–“
Zi Yan snorted coldly, clenched her jade fist suddenly, and purple-gold light burst out from her body. The pressure of the supreme demon beast emanated from her body.
Sensing this strange aura, Zhu Kun’s pupils suddenly shrank, his face full of disbelief, “This aura is not only from the Ancient Taixu Dragon… but also the Ancient Sky Phoenix? And even above the two… it’s the Dragon Phoenix!”
He was well-informed and reacted immediately, saying ecstatically: “My dear daughter, have you taken the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?!”
Just now when they were talking, Zi Yanke mentioned that she was going to Zhongzhou.
Zhu Kun could never have imagined that his daughter had such an opportunity to evolve into a legendary creature like the Dragon Phoenix in an era when the ancient Sky Phoenix had long been extinct.
Zi Yan ignored him and snorted coldly, with the purple light on her jade fist growing stronger.
“Zi Yan’s Overlord Fist!” With a clear shout, Zi Yan punched out, and a purple-gold dragon of light roared out, carrying a majestic momentum, and slammed towards Zhu Kun fiercely.
“boom–“
With a loud bang, Zhu Kun was blown backwards by this tremendous force. His body drew a graceful arc like a cannonball, and then hit the thousand-foot-high stone gate heavily, then fell to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.
However, the stone gate did not shake at all, standing quietly in the center of the space like an eternal mountain.
Only ripples appeared in the space, as if telling of the terrifying power of this blow.
“Hehe, after throwing a punch, I feel much better!”
After Zi Yan vented her anger with this punch, most of the resentment in her heart dissipated. She clapped her hands and showed a relaxed smile on her face: “Sure enough, using fists is the fastest way to solve problems!”
At this moment, it seemed as if a cover was lifted in the distance, and waves of tempting fragrance wafted over.
Zi Yan sniffed and her eyes suddenly lit up.
“What a nice smell! Lin Yuan is making something delicious… As expected, he understands me the best!” Zi Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, a gentle arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she took brisk steps and walked quickly towards the direction where the fragrance came from.
When she arrived, Lin Yuan had already finished the preparations. Nearly a hundred delicious dishes with tempting aromas were neatly placed on the table.
This originally dark area is now illuminated by the light of the strange fire, giving it a unique charm.
“Now that you’ve vented your anger, let’s eat something to replenish our energy!”
He smiled slightly, pushed Zi Yan to sit on the soft chair beside the dining table, and then looked at the dust in the distance: “Senior, why don’t you have a meal together! I am still interested in cooking, I believe I will not disappoint you.”
Lin Yuan is absolutely confident that he must be the best chef in the Douqi Continent!
After a short pause, he spoke again, with a hint of smile in his voice: “Perhaps, for you, it would be more appropriate for me to use another title? Yue…”
“Stop! Just call me Dragon Emperor… Senior Zhu Kun!”
Zhu Kun’s voice arrived before he even arrived – before Lin Yuan could even utter the word “father”, he spoke anxiously and interrupted Lin Yuan.
The next moment, a purple light flashed, and Zhu Kun’s burly figure appeared in front of the two.
At this moment, he looked quite disheveled – his black dragon robe had a few faint burn marks on it, and was stained with some dust and dirt, and his hair was scattered on his shoulders in a mess.
Looking at Zi Yan, he had a flattering smile on his face: “My dear daughter, have you vented your anger? How about a few more punches? Your father is very resistant to beatings and can withstand it…”
Seeing this, Zi Yan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“Alright! Alright!” She waved her hands, glanced at him, and said angrily, “Don’t act pitiful anymore, your acting is really bad! Don’t worry, after I throw a punch, I’ll feel better… Get ready and have dinner with me…”
After a pause, Zi Yan looked at Zhu Kun steadily and said faintly: “When I was young, I had been looking forward to this day!”
Hearing Zi Yan’s words, Zhu Kun smiled awkwardly and immediately trembled. A burst of purple light flowed across his body, and he returned to his intact state.
However, just as he was about to sit down next to Zi Yan, he saw that she had already pulled Lin Yuan to sit next to her.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Kun’s mouth twitched suddenly, and his eyes turned ferocious when he looked at Lin Yuan.
“There’s no need to be so hostile to me. I’m still helping you!”
Feeling Zhu Kun’s gaze, Lin Yuan felt helpless, but it was also understandable – if it were him, seeing his beloved daughter who had just returned to his side being closer to a boy than to himself, the mere thought of it would make him uncomfortable.
Noticing the subtle atmosphere between the two, Zi Yan raised her head and glared at Zhu Kun fiercely: “Do you have any opinion on our relationship?”
As she spoke, she clasped Lin Yuan’s hand with her backhand as if she was swearing something.
“I, I… I have no objection. This kid, at this age… his strength is okay!” Facing Zi Yan, Zhu Kun finally lowered his head. Of course, he had some objections in his heart, but he didn’t know how to say it.
“That’s good!” Seeing that he had given in, Zi Yan lowered her head and began to enjoy the delicious food on the table.
Looking at the depressed Zhu Kun, Lin Yuan shook his head slightly and threw a large jar of liquor over to him: “Senior, try this! I brewed my own ‘Qianzui Gan’. I am quite confident in the taste. I think it will not disappoint you…”
Zhu Kun took the jar of wine, sat opposite Zi Yan, and drank it down in gulps.
However, when the wine went down his throat, the sweet taste spread from the tip of his tongue, from his taste buds, throughout his body, and Zhu Kun couldn’t help but squint his eyes in enjoyment.
The last time he drank alcohol was thousands of years ago.
It must be said that this abominable pretty boy, although his current strength is still very weak due to his age, his skills in winemaking and cooking are really amazing – even in Zhu Kun’s long career, this is the first time he has drunk such fine wine.
Before he knew it, Zhu Kun had already finished drinking the wine in the jar and said happily, “Good wine! Really good wine!”
“Senior, please forgive me for being so presumptuous!” Lin Yuan smiled, picked up the pot and filled a glass of wine for himself, then said thoughtfully, “I want to ask you a question about cultivation, is that okay?”
“The question about cultivation is interesting…”
Zhu Kun put down the wine jar and said generously: “For the sake of this wine… no, for the sake of my daughter, you can ask whatever you want, I will tell you everything I know!”
“Thank you, Senior!” Lin Yuan nodded slightly, took out a jar of fine wine and threw it over. Then his face became solemn and he asked the question he had been curious about for a long time: “Excuse me, Senior, how can I cultivate my soul to the Emperor Realm?”
