Chapter 68: Hun Tiandi: Does Zi Yan Want to Dominate?
🕑 Added 2023-05-27 20:31:38 +0000 UTCZhu Kun suppressed the anger in his heart.
Even if he was filled with rage, it meant nothing since he was trapped in the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave. He couldn't escape from here no matter what.
Without a way out, there was nowhere for his anger to vent.
Calming himself down, Zhu Kun looked at Hun Tiandi and asked, "Brother Hun, you came here to tell me all this. I assume it's not just to mock me, right?"
Zhu Kun, being able to cultivate to the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng, was certainly not a foolish person. He quickly understood everything.
The other party didn't come here just to tell him these things and mock him. There must be some purpose for his visit. More accurately, there must be some conspiracy!
Hun Tiandi replied, "I happened to pass by here and learned about the location of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave, so I came to take a look.”
“Of course, that's just one reason. The second reason is that I want to cooperate with Brother Zhu!"
Hun Tiandi understood that it was impossible to cooperate with Gu Yuan, so he could only collaborate with the person in front of him.
Of course, this collaboration would only be temporary.
"Cooperate?" Zhu Kun thought to himself upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words. "As expected, he doesn't have good intentions. There's a conspiracy behind this."
"Brother Hun, how do you propose we cooperate?" Zhu Kun asked, his mind alert.
"I can help you leave this place," Hun Tiandi calmly replied.
"Help me leave?" Zhu Kun was momentarily surprised upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, but quickly regained his composure.
"Brother Hun, if you want to help me leave, your strength is probably not enough. Only the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade can open the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave, and only then can I escape."
Recalling the past, Zhu Kun was the only late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng on the entire continent, filled with youthful vigor. He was just one step away from becoming a Dou Di, filled with pride.
Upon learning the location of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave, he hurriedly brought his daughter here.
Little did he know that without the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade, he couldn't open it at all. Instead, he ended up trapped here, unaware of the passing years.
If, at that time, he hadn't been so arrogant but had patiently searched for the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade, he wouldn't have been trapped here for who knows how many years.
Now...
Zhu Kun, upon learning about the situation of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and the ordeal his daughter went through, regretted it all.
He regretted it deeply. But even if he regretted it, he couldn't change the current situation. He was now a prisoner, a watchdog.
To completely escape from this predicament, the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade was indispensable.
Hun Tiandi said, "There are eight pieces of Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade, and I have already obtained two of them. I also know the whereabouts of the other six."
"What?" Zhu Kun, who initially didn't take it seriously, instantly lost his composure upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words. His pupils filled with shock as he looked at Hun Tiandi and asked, "Brother Hun, are you telling the truth?"
"Naturally!"
To make Zhu Kun believe him, Hun Tiandi took out two pieces of Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade from his storage ring. They emitted a radiant light.
If not for Hun Tiandi's suppression, these two pieces of Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade would have flown into the keyhole of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave.
"Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade..." Zhu Kun, seeing the radiant Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade on the palm of Hun Tiandi's hand, immediately lost his composure and blurted out unconsciously.
If... If he, Zhu Kun, had possessed this Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade back then, he wouldn't have ended up in this current state.
Blame it on his past self, who was too arrogant.
He thought that in a continent where no Dou Di had emerged, and with a lack of origin energy, being in the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng would make him invincible.
Wasn't a Dou Di's Cave just a trivial matter?
Could it stop him?
What a joke!
But the fact was, he fell for it.
The strength of a Dou Di was terrifying and unpredictable. The means he left behind were not something Zhu Kun could contend with. This single lapse had resulted in a millennium...
Hun Tiandi put away the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade and said, "Brother Zhu, do you believe me now?"
"Hmm!" Zhu Kun nodded. Clearly, he now believed in Hun Tiandi.
Moreover...
For him, he had no choice but to believe in Hun Tiandi. If Hun Tiandi wanted to break through to the Dou Di realm, he had to enter the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave behind him.
The vast continent of Dou Qi lacked origin energy. To become a powerhouse at the level of a Dou Di, one must rely on the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave behind them.
Zhu Kun spoke up, "Brother Hun, how do we cooperate?"
Hun Tiandi replied, "It's simple. I will obtain the Tuo She Ancient Emperor’s Jade to free you from captivity, and you will help me obtain the inheritance of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor."
"Of course... If I break through to the Dou Di realm, I will find a way to help you achieve the same."
"Good!" Zhu Kun agreed without hesitation.
However...
Before Hun Tiandi could feel relieved, Zhu Kun continued, "I also have a request."
"Hmm?" Hun Tiandi furrowed his brow slightly.
In the eyes of Hun Tiandi, he had already offered a lot. He had shown plenty of sincerity. Was Zhu Kun still not satisfied?
Seeing Hun Tiandi's furrowed brow, Zhu Kun quickly explained, "Brother Hun, please don't misunderstand. I just hope you can let me see my daughter."
"I see!" Upon hearing Zhu Kun's words, Hun Tiandi's furrowed brow disappeared, and he smiled. "No problem."
"Brother Zhu, wait a moment," Hun Tiandi said.
"I'll be right back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hun Tiandi left the void space.
In the eyes of Hun Tiandi, this was a small matter.
Zhu Kun watched as Hun Tiandi left, his body trembling with excitement. He murmured, "My daughter... I can finally see my daughter again..."
His eyes moistened, and tears fell.
It was evident that Zhu Kun truly missed his daughter.
They would meet soon.
Who knew how emotional it would be?
Soon enough, Hun Tiandi found Zi Yan. At this time, Zi Yan was in the medicine room, consuming medicinal ingredients to enhance her strength.
Besides diligent cultivation, her method was to eat—consume spiritual treasures and earthly treasures. By eating diligently, she could continuously become stronger.
The elder in charge of the medicine room also noticed Zi Yan's presence but didn't bother with her.
In his view, she was a little ancestor. How could he control her? It was simply impossible.
Zi Yan sat in the corner, eating precious medicinal ingredients, resembling a "sneaky little mouse." She was quite adorable.
However, Zi Yan ate openly and honestly.
Zi Yan appeared to be around twelve or thirteen years old, with purple hair tied into two ponytails—one on each side, falling on her shoulders. She had a delicate and beautiful appearance, dressed in a purple dress.
When Hun Tiandi appeared in front of Zi Yan, she sensed something and looked up at him. There were remnants of herbs at the corners of her mouth, and she held half-eaten medicinal ingredients in her hand.
Zi Yan curiously looked at Hun Tiandi and asked, "Who are you?"
Zi Yan had been living in the Jia Nan Academy for some time now and had encountered the elders of the academy. However, she had never seen the man in front of her.
At that moment, Zi Yan felt a sense of caution towards Hun Tiandi.
Hun Tiandi squatted down, placed his palm on Zi Yan's head, and rubbed it gently. He smiled softly and said, "You must be Zi Yan, right? Do you want to be my little subordinate?"
