Chapter 1480: Chapter 1439: Meeting Grandpa

“Father, this hatred must stop! The animosity between the Immortal Sect, the entire Penglai Immortal Domain, and Lu Chuan from the secular world, began with us! Why? Why can’t we let go of this ridiculous belief of being superior and live harmoniously with them?”

“Enough…”

Kong Yuanliang sat limply on the chair, sighing weakly.

But Kong Zhaozhao was relentless.

“For a thousand years, has the secular world ever acted offensively toward the Penglai Immortal Domain? It’s us, time and again!”

“Silence…”

“Father, does this absurd sense of dignity allow you and everyone here to trample on human lives, ignoring their suffering?”

“I said silence!”

Kong Yuanliang slammed the table, his chest heaving violently, his face flushed as he glared at Kong Zhaozhao.

He had never felt so unfamiliar with his own daughter as he did at this moment.

“Indeed, I can stop now, Father. I’ve done what I wanted to do, said what I wanted to say. As for how you wish to punish me…”

Kong Zhaozhao spread her arms, defiantly looking back at Kong Yuanliang, calmly saying, “I am willing to accept it.”

“Someone! Take her away, confine her on Little Frost Peak, guard her day and night. Without my orders, do not allow her to take even a step outside Little Frost Peak!”

“Back off! I am the daughter of the Sect Master of the Penglai Immortal Sect. Who are you to come near me?”

Seeing a few people approaching slowly, Kong Zhaozhao’s face darkened as she revealed the full momentum of the Nine Layers of Nascent Soul!

Indeed, after intertwining with Lu Chuan, not only was the Frost Poison eradicated from Kong Zhaozhao’s body, but the harmonious balance of Yin and Yang greatly advanced her cultivation, propelling her to the Half-step Spirit Division stage!

Looking at Kong Zhaozhao’s displayed sharpness, Kong Yuanliang felt an unfamiliar distance.

In his memory, his daughter was always praised for being obedient and sensible. When did she start to change to this disposition?

“Zhaozhao, you…”

“Hasn’t Father always wanted a strong daughter? I’ve achieved that now.”

…

Meanwhile, in the secular world.

Lu Chuan staggered as he walked a dozen steps before collapsing exhaustedly on the grass, breathing heavily.

“Finally… escaped.”

The sunlight above seemed inexplicably glaring as Lu Chuan opened his hand, looking through his fingers at the dispersing clouds and letting out a long sigh.

After removing the Frost Poison from Kong Zhaozhao, Lu Chuan initially wanted to leave with her, but Kong Zhaozhao believed that if she left with Lu Chuan, Kong Yuanliang would surely not let it rest, potentially igniting another war between the secular world and the Penglai Immortal Domain. With no other choice, Lu Chuan had to let Kong Zhaozhao go.

Though Lu Chuan managed to escape the Penglai Immortal Domain, his condition was not favorable.

The Spirit Suppressing Nail atop his head was yet to be removed, which greatly slowed his spiritual power recovery, affecting his physical strength in the process.

But, there was no choice. Just the slightest touch of the Spirit Suppressing Nail caused excruciating pain to his Divine Soul, and forcibly tearing it might just kill him with pain!

“Tower Spirit, is there truly no way? Even you cannot remove this Spirit Suppressing Nail?”

Without removing the Spirit Suppressing Nail, Lu Chuan’s combat strength was greatly reduced, and it became his major weakness.

“I’ve explained clearly: it’s not that it can’t be removed, it’s that it mustn’t be.”

Tower Spirit sighed helplessly, saying, “The position of this Spirit Suppressing Nail is too special. If forced out, it might cause your Divine Soul to be completely annihilated. Unless the owner of this Nail wishes to help you remove it voluntarily, using spells for assistance, it can’t be removed effortlessly. Or, if you can find a treasure that strengthens the Divine Soul, otherwise I am powerless.”

“… I should have robbed a few more treasures from that old man’s collection!”

After struggling for a while, Lu Chuan barely managed to stop the bleeding from the Spirit Suppressing Nail atop his head, wiped off the blood on his face, and planned to leave for Cloud City.

However, before Lu Chuan could take a few steps, the spiritual power within him suddenly became exceptionally turbulent, rampaging inside without him being able to suppress it. That spiritual power seemed to tear his body apart, eventually gathering at his brow and bursting forth!

In the next moment, the three Jade Pendants flew out uncontrollably, absorbing all the spiritual power and slowly merging into one completed pendant, landing steadily in Lu Chuan’s hand!

Soon after, a strong suction force emanated from the Jade Pendant, resembling a vortex that pulled Lu Chuan into the Exotic Realm Space!

After a dizzying swirl, Lu Chuan’s unfocused pupils gradually converged, and he finally saw the surrounding environment clearly.

At first glance, there was nothing but a glaring white, yet a tightly shut black-red door stood abruptly in the near distance, tightly closed. In front of the door, a faint silhouette could be seen.

This silhouette, strangely familiar to Lu Chuan.

“This place is…”

“Ha… It’s worth the wait of so long, good grandson, you did not disappoint Grandpa!”

The person seemed to notice Lu Chuan’s presence, slowly turned around, a smile emerging on his old face.

“Dear grandson, what, don’t recognize me?”

“Grandpa! You, why are you here!”

Seeing the person’s face clearly, Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up instantly, ignoring the dizziness, he dashed forward in two steps and leapt into the old man’s embrace.

“Grandpa, I’ve missed you.”

“Hahaha! Such a big lad, why speak such mushy words?”

Mr. Lu laughed, patting Lu Chuan’s shoulders, “You’ve grown taller than Grandpa, yet still act like a child, just wanting to burrow into Grandpa’s arms.

The journey has been hard on you, hasn’t it?”

Feeling the long-lost warmth, Mr. Lu’s eyes also glimmered with tears, though they soon vanished.

“Alright, alright, let Grandpa have a good look at you, my eldest grandson, all grown up now, turned into a young lad, looking handsome, even more so than your father back then! But doesn’t quite match Grandpa, hahahaha!”

“Grandpa… Why did you leave without a word back then and come to this place? Why didn’t you return to see me?”

Lu Chuan took a few steps back, feeling his nose sour, rubbing it harshly.

“This, explaining it could be complicated, but no rush, the passage of time in this Exotic Realm Space is different from the outside world. To you, it seems Grandpa left twenty plus years, but to Grandpa, it’s just like yesterday. Come, let Grandpa take a good look!

Uh… Not bad! Sturdy bones, solid foundation, reached the Spirit Splitting Realm at a young age, stronger than Grandpa, stronger than your father! Hahaha, worthy of the Lu family, you haven’t let us down!”
