Godly Stay-Home Dad

Chapter 987 Entering the Kunlun Immortal World

"When have I ever defied you, Mummy? Have you forgotten that you're the boss in our family?" Mengmeng pouted.

"Now you remember that I'm the boss. Why did you forget that a moment ago?" Zi Yan snorted. "I say it's because you've grown up and learned how to cultivate. You think you no longer need my wings for protection, so you don't listen to me anymore."

"No, that's not the case. Mummy, you can't blacken my name like this!" Mengmeng held Zi Yan's arm and said, "You can't find a daughter as well-behaved as me anywhere else."

Zi Yan rolled her eyes and said, "Humph, this unabashed look of yours does seem similar to your father's."

At those words, Zhang Han laughed wryly for quite a while.

In fact, he was also thinking about how to comfort Zi Yan. After all, how could Zhang Han not notice Zi Yan's fleeting depression?

After deliberating for a while, Zhang Han said beamingly,

"Mengmeng, you gotta do your best to butter up your Mummy. You have no idea that your Mummy is really the big boss. Do you know why I'm so powerful? It's all your Mummy's credits."

"Huh?" Mengmeng was stunned. Then, she asked in confusion, "Is it because of my mom's… power of love?"

"It's not that."

Zhang Han was amused. Fighting back the urge to laugh, he said, "We've all heard what your Great-Grandpa said last night. There are many kinds of dantian. It's actually a quite mysterious thing. The size of dantian is usually measured by inches. In the beginning, my dantian was only five or six-inch wide. If I cultivated in the normal way, it could probably just be nine-inch wide now. But after I met your Mummy…"

"Huh?

"I can't just say that my dantian upgraded right after I had sex with your Mummy for the first time, can I?"

"Anyway, since I was with your Mummy, she's made my dantian grow to… Well, take a guess. How large is it now?"

"100 inches?" Mengmeng answered without thinking.

Zhang Han's face darkened. "The largest dantian is only about nine-inch."

"Oh, then, yours is nine-inch," Mengmeng muttered.

"Generally speaking, the largest dantian is nine-inch wide. Because nine is the largest number in cultivation. Regardless, my dantian is 10-inch wide. It's unprecedented. In the entire Cultivation World, no cultivator with a 10-inch dantian has ever been found yet. Thus, my dantian is my mightiest trump card. I didn't notice how much difference it made when I was at the Foundation Stage. But after I reached the Innateness Stage, I can easily kill cultivators at the same level. I even didn't have any problem killing those at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage. It's all attributed to your Mummy that I've earned the title of being invincible in the world. Therefore, if you want to ride on someone's coattails, you'd better chose to ride on your Mummy's. Besides, riding on her is so…"

As he spoke, Zhang Han involuntarily glanced at Zi Yan.

"Bah!"

Zi Yan's gorgeous face blushed and she shot Zhang Han a hard look. But she suddenly perked up. "You're not lying, are you?"

"Hello? When have I ever lied to you?" Zhang Han put on a serious face. "It's all true. I even suspect that you are the daughter of a top master. Or you may be a princess or a Saintly Woman. Anyway, you're not ordinary at all. Mengmeng, we gotta get on good terms with your Mummy. Gee, maybe, someday, many powerful people will come and ask your mother to go back to where she belongs to. Then, what should we do if she agrees to go with them and leave us forever?"

"Huh?" Mengmeng was stunned again.

"Dear Lord, don't talk nonsense." Zi Yan smoothed her beautiful hair with a hand and shook her head. "I won't go anywhere else. Even if that happens, I won't go with them."

"Mummy, are you really that powerful?"

Zhang Han's story had held Mengmeng in awe.

"Don't listen to your father's nonsense. If I were really powerful, why couldn't I cultivate?" Zi Yan pressed her lips together and sighed softly.

"Tiny Tot is an ancient cursed roc," Zhang Han continued, "and when it was born, it was in the form of a ghost ship. It was so cryptic that even the people in the Kunlun Immortal World, the secular world, the worldlets, and the Ancient Mine could not see through. If you were an ordinary person, how could it recognize you as the master of its own accord? My dear, you are the master of the ancient cursed roc, a member of the top clan even in the Cultivation World. Also, what I said is all true. In the beginning, my cultivation was not this incredible. But you gave me a 10-inch dantian. It rocked my world. Therefore, in terms of cultivation, you will definitely be able to do it sometime in the future."

"Wow, I knew Mummy is very powerful." Mengmeng snuggled up to Zi Yan and said, "When all of us can cultivate, we can go out and explore the world together. Mummy, this time, you should just wait at home. Daddy and I will go out to kill the enemies. We'll come back as soon as we get the job done."

"But the opponents are quite strong," Zi Yan cautioned. "Mengmeng, now you insist on going, I won't stop you, only that you shall not make more trouble for your Daddy."

"Sure, I'll behave."

"Don't worry." Zhang Han smiled. "Don't you know about my strength? We'll be fine."

If the critical moment came, Zhang Han would not hesitate to give up the Deep Valley and the frosty crystal stones. His opponents were only at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage. If there were someone at the peak of the Elixir Realm, Zhang Han was not sure whether he could defeat him. But this might happen to be a good chance to see how strong the condensed Immortal Body would be.

"Even so, you should still be careful." Zi Yan blinked and gave him a wink.

"You can rest assured." Zhang Han smiled.

One should always run away if the opponent was too strong. It was an eternally immutable truth. Of course, there are many people in the Cultivation World who were rather persistent. They never fled and always saw the battle through to the bitter end. The best ones among them were the Warhorse Clan. Their members in the Elixir Realm dares to compete with those in the Yuan Ying Realm. As a result, they were quite scarce now, for they had almost been wiped out."

Looking at Zhang Han's confident face, Zi Yan was somewhat relieved.

"Dad, you said this trip wouldn't cost any little red flower. Then I'm gonna stick it back."

Mengmeng waved the little red flower in her hand.

"Let's put it back together."

Zi Yan smiled and took Mengmeng's hand. She and Mengmeng went to the bedroom together. The decoration inside was like that of a princess's room, and at the most conspicuous place beside the bed was the small blackboard.

"This one was here before."

Mengmeng pointed to the top left corner. Zi Yan fetched the glue and stuck the little red flower back in its original place.

It was not until this moment that Mengmeng was gratified. A smile climbed onto her face.

"Haha, there are 110 of them. No one is lost!"

At this, Zhang Han didn't know what to say. Mixed feelings were revealed in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the little girl had grown from a cute baby girl to a graceful young lady. She was smart and whimsical, and clearly had ideas of her own.

This time, she insisted on going to the Kunlun Immortal World with him. She was quite determined on this. Maybe she didn't think much about this and just wanted to be with her father so that she would not be worried, but this action really deeply moved Zhang Han.

Daughters tended to be sweet to their fathers. That was correct.

In the afternoon, the family of three stayed in the castle, enjoying a few hours of their own. Zi Yan made afternoon tea in person. Of course, she was in charge of commanding, and Zhang Han was doing all the work.

Finally, the sky was getting dark, and the sun was setting. It was already dusk.

"You really gonna take Mengmeng with you?"

Looking at Mengmeng who had packed everything and ready to set off, Zhang Mu asked again in a somewhat resigned tone.

"Yes."

Zhang Han smiled and said, "As long as I'm with her, no one can hurt her."

"I thought so as well back then." Zhang Mu closed his eyes.

"In the end, I still didn't keep your grandmother safe."

Zhang Mu didn't say that out loud, but the people present all knew what was on his mind.

"Let's go."

Zhang Han's lips moved, and he didn't know what to say. He had never seen his grandmother. Thus, all the things he wanted to say eventually came out as an announcement of their departure.

"Okay."

Zhang Mu and the more than 30 people he had brought here, as well as Zhang Han and Mengmeng, set off. They didn't bring anyone else. This group of people went down the mountain at dusk. Looking at their backs as they went farther and farther, many people became a little emotional.

"Now they're off, I wonder what kind of sensation they would stir up in the Kunlun Immortal World this time."

When they were about to exit the gate, Zhang Han reached out his right hand and gestured the number "seven" with a hand.

Seven days!

He would definitely be back in a week.

That was also his promise to Zi Yan, to let her put her mind at ease. In truth, Zhang Han felt that five days would be enough.

"Right now, the passage is relatively quiet. No one is coming out from the other side. But this peaceful time is only the prelude to another storm. We have to be careful, ready to deal with all kinds of enemies."

While they flew to the Kunlun Immortal World, Zhang Mu said slowly, "You've killed so many of their people. It also served as a warning to the Kunlun Immortal World, telling them to think twice before they descend into the secular world. But things will be different once you go up there. This time, Nan Feng has led a total of 13 forces to attack the Deep Valley. Their target is not the frosty crystal stones. Even if we gave them the frosty crystal stone vein, they wouldn't show us any mercy. Han, I was wondering if you had any ideas to sort this out. Will you take the people of the Deep Valley to flee to the secular world after you made the breakthrough?"

As soon as Zhang Mu finished speaking, everyone around looked over in Zhang Han's direction. They couldn't think of any way to deal with the problem. But seeing Zhang Han's composed look, they became curious again, wondering if Zhang Han could really withstand the attack of all those forces.

In the face of this question, Zhang Han pondered for two seconds before replying, "The Kunlun Immortal World is rich in spiritual weapons, and many precious gems can be found abundant there. How could your Deep Valley's Heaven-earth Formation be too weak to block out the enemy? Even if it can just hold them back for a month, it will do. Because the crystal stone vein will be formed by then, and then you can just take the crystal stones and retreat."

"But this matter is far more complex than you thought." The square-faced man behind Zhang Mu smiled wryly. "The Heaven-earth Formation in the Kunlun Immortal World is indeed stronger, but the types of the weapons and spirit treasures there are of a wider range and their functions are countless. There are some weapons specifically designed to target the Heaven-earth Formation. If we went to attack the Wind Snow Temple, their Heaven-earth Formation would break down after about a year and a half. Thus, the Heaven-earth Formation can't hold them back at all."

"I've noticed that the Heaven-earth Formation in Mount New Moon is very high-end. Are you planning to set up formations to handle them?" Zhang Mu asked in confusion.

"Are there plenty of materials in the Deep Valley?" Zhang Han asked.

"Yeah, we've got plenty. There are thousands of gems, which are of various grades. It's enough to set up some formations. And there are also hundreds of formation flags. Nonetheless, the Deep Valley itself has a Heaven-earth Formation, which was established by Wu Dao, the First Elder of Dong Huang City. Elder Wudao's attainment is well-known in the whole East Domain. If it weren't for the formation he had set up, we might not have been able to withstand the attack for a month. But the strikes launched by the enemies have been constantly consuming the energy of the formation, and it is already very precarious," Zhang Mu said with a sigh. "After all, the formation is just an auxiliary means."

"I'll go take a look and see what I can do," Zhang Han replied.

While the adults were engaged in their conversation, Mengmeng, the only child present, quietly looked around and just watched them talk without interrupting them.

"I can't make any trouble, or I won't have a chance to go out next time."

"So, we can just wait and see. If Deep Flame still doesn't come back when we get there, I will order the people of Deep Valley to escape in groups. Whether they can survive or not is all up to their fate." Zhang Mu sighed.

It was normal to see a force being destroyed in the Kunlun Immortal World. Every once in a while, there would be new sects coming into being. Over the years, however, the total number of sects was almost the same. Indeed, when someone rose to power, some others would face their demise.

Deep down, Zhang Mu knew that the Deep Valley had almost reached its end.

"The force who we need to heed most is Nan Feng and his men. The master of the Wind Snow Temple has sent him a help named Gao Chuan. In the past decade, that man hadn't been defeated once in the 100 battles he fought. He is at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage. He is a top-level figure. Deep Fire is at the peak of the Elixir Realm, so he is also powerful. However, three people at the peak of the Elixir Realm have trapped him in the Northernmost Sea. I once tried to help him get out, but I found that I couldn't handle any of those opponents. Thus, he has no way to come out and help us. If Gao Chuan leads Nan Feng's team, it'll be terrible for us."

Zhang Mu frowned slightly and continued, "The most fearful person is still Nan Feng. When we first entered the Kunlun Immortal World, he was already at the Elixir Realm Last-Stage. I reckon that he may have reached the peak after all those years. As the Third Prince, he is also favored in the Wind Snow Temple. But he is unlikely to deal with this matter in person. What we need to pay attention to is that he or others may take the Nirvana Tree to the secular world. Now that you're not there, no one can stop them."

"I've told the others about this. They will stay in Mount New Moon in the next couple of days. Even if Nan Feng came with the Nirvana Tree, he would have to return empty-handed," Zhang Han replied.

Of course, he had thought of these issues. Therefore, before he left Mount New Moon, he asked the Patriarch of the Ross Clan for three drops of blood essence.

"You're too confident. But I like it." Zhang Mu scrutinized Zhang Han and smiled.
