Wang Zizai's words made Zhou Xingdou somewhat enlightened. He had never understood why Xiao Tianzuo imprisoned his parents, but now, combined with the information, it seemed that Xiao Tianzuo's will had probably long since disappeared, leaving only the unconscious Great Unification Heavenly Dao operating on its own.
The Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain is the core of the unified Heavenly Dao. If it were to be invaded by demons and all living beings were slaughtered by them, the eerie omen would likely completely erode the unified Heavenly Dao.
This also touched upon the self-preservation mechanism of the unified Heavenly Dao. At this time, his parents happened to be competing with many Great Luo Immortals for the Innate Ancestral Fruit, which attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain. They were then absorbed into the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain in the hope of eliminating the pests in their bodies.
This possibility is very high, but Zhou Xingdou is currently in a hurry to find his parents and doesn't have time to discuss this possibility with Wang Zizai. He quickly continued to ask:
"Then do you know where the Azure Emperor is?"
Wang Zizai said without even thinking:
"In the Daosheng Mountains!"
"Daosheng Mountain Range?"
"It is the Jiuyuan Mountain Range where the Star Emperor once lived. Lord Xiao once said that although he attained enlightenment in the Imperial City, he was in the Jiuyuan Mountain Range when he comprehended the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, people later changed the Jiuyuan Mountain Range to the Dao Sheng Mountain Range."
After Wang Zizai finished explaining, Zhou Xingdou smiled slightly. It was in the Jiuyuan Mountains that Xiao Tianzuo asked him what the Heavenly Dao was, and that's when the rudimentary form of the Heavenly Dao began to take shape in his mind.
A moment later.
Zhou Xingdou and Wang Zizai appeared at the former Jiuyuan Mountain Range. Looking at the Jiuyuan Mountain Range, which had not changed much from before, Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.
He was resurrected here, took Xiao Tianzuo as his disciple, killed Zhang Santian and obtained the Great Palm Heaven Scripture. Now, only a few months have passed for him, but the situation has changed drastically.
"The Azure Emperor resides on the hilltop next to the former manor of you, Star Emperor, and Lord Xiao. Apart from me and other Great Luo Immortals, it is almost forbidden to enter this place. Moreover, we dare not disturb the Azure Emperor unless it is something beyond our control."
Wang Zizai pointed to a mountain peak and said.
Zhou Xingdou stared at the mountain peak for a moment, and if he remembered correctly, that was the place where he had broken through his limits. He never expected that his parents had settled there.
But just then, a deep and gentle voice rang out:
"High Priest, bring your people here and have a meal. There's no need to be so formal."
Wang Zizai dared not be negligent and quickly cupped his hands towards the mountain peak, saying:
"Haha, I was just about to bother you."
After saying that, Wang Zizai hurriedly led Zhou Xingdou to the summit of the mountain. A Great Luo Realm expert was serving him, but Zhou Xingdou felt a little strange about it.
But more often than not, it's a feeling of trepidation upon returning home.
He could recognize that the voice was the same as the voice his father had used when he was born, which made him extremely emotional.
He, who was like an orphan, finally found his parents, but hesitated to enter the simple wooden house in front of him.
He didn't know what to say or what expression to make when he saw his parents, what their emotions were, or what they would say to him.
This left Stephen Chow feeling incredibly conflicted.
When Wang Zizai saw Zhou Xingdou stop, he looked at the wooden house with some confusion, then at Zhou Xingdou's conflicted expression. Only then did he come to his senses and understand the relationship between Zhou Xingdou and Zhou Qingdi.
Wang Zizai cursed himself inwardly for being so stupid, only realizing it now. But it wasn't too late; he shouted towards the wooden house:
"Azure Emperor, Qian Yue, look who I've brought!"
Zhou Xingdou glared angrily at Wang Zizai, not because of his shout, but because of his form of address.
Calling your own parents Qingdi and Qianyue, isn't that just taking advantage of yourself?
Snap! Snap!
The sound of chopsticks hitting the ground came from inside the wooden house. Two figures burst out of the door, their eyes fixed on Zhou Xingdou.
Blood ties cannot be severed. Even though Ming Qianyue had never seen what her son looked like when he grew up, just one glance was enough to bring tears to her eyes.
"My child, my child!"
Zhou Xingdou looked at his mother; he didn't need to guess to know that this was his mother. Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, and he knelt down with a thud.
"Dad, Mom, your son is late!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Stephen Chow once complained in his heart about his parents more than once, wondering why they didn't accompany him as he grew up, and why they made him live like an orphan for two lifetimes and three generations.
But when he actually saw them, Zhou Xingdou felt no resentment, only countless tears streaming down his face.
Ming Qianyue helped her son up, cupped Zhou Xingdou's face in her hands, tears welling in her eyes, and pulled him into her arms.
"Starry Sky, waaaaah..."
At this moment, Zhou Qingdi's eyes were also filled with tears. His broad and strong arms embraced the mother and son like a mountain. Looking at his wife and son, who were both in tears, he said in a low and gentle voice:
"Today is a day for our family to reunite, how can you cry like this?"
This heartwarming scene of family reunion lasted for a long time, so long that Wang Zizai, standing to the side, felt somewhat uncomfortable. Looking at Zhou Xingdou, who was in tears, a strange thought flashed through his mind:
"If I saw this side of the Star Emperor, would I be silenced?"
After a long while, the family of three separated, but Ming Qianyue's hand was still rubbing against her son's angular face as she said with reddened eyes:
"You're so old now, you must have suffered a lot..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in Ming Qianyue's eyes again.
Stephen Chow then put on a smiling face:
"It's not bitter, it's not bitter. As long as I can see my mom and dad, I'm not bitter."
Emperor Zhou Qing looked at his son with satisfaction, but also with obvious guilt, and said:
"It's my fault, Father. I shouldn't have tried to take that ancestral fruit. I should have believed in my son. Even without the ancestral fruit, he is still no weaker than anyone else!"
Zhou Qingdi's words suddenly reminded Ming Qianyue of something, and she immediately stopped her tears and said:
"Oh, right, Zu Guo!"
As she spoke, Ming Qianyue quickly took out a crystal-clear fruit and placed it near Zhou Xingdou's mouth, intending to feed it to him.
This fruit resembles an avocado, but is only the size of an apricot. It is perfectly round and naturally formed, without any trace of essence or fragrance. However, one can see the flow of innate energy within its translucent skin.
The innate substance is called the Ancestral Fruit, which can be used to forge the foundation of the Great Luo. Its preciousness needs no further explanation.
But Zhou Xingdou gently pushed the ancestral fruit away, looked at his mother, and shook his head with a smile:
"Mother, I don't need this. You should save it for your future grandson."
Ming Qianyue immediately covered her mouth in surprise:
"Huh? I already have a grandson?"
But what followed was a barrage of follow-up questions:
"The darling of the family you married?"
What kind of person is my wife?
Is she a firstborn child?
Are you around the same age as him/her?
Is she pretty?
Is she as pretty as her mother?
"If I'm too ugly, I won't pass my mother's approval!"
Faced with his mother's persistent questioning, Stephen Chow could only give a wry smile and look at his father.
cough cough
But to everyone's surprise, Zhou Qingdi coughed twice and said:
“Your mother is right.”
