Godly Stay-Home Dad

Chapter 1452 Desperation

“What’s the matter?” Zhang Han asked in confusion.

“It’s hard to explain all in just a few words.”

Elder Li finished a jar of wine and said, “Hanyang, as you know, you gave us a lot of spiritual treasures and even a lot of rare Elemental Sources to enhance our aptitude for cultivation back then.

“Only in this way could we have a chance to reach a higher realm. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the God Transformation Realm would be our limit. We cultivated until we reached the God Transformation Realm Peak Stage and then went to explore the outside world.

“It took us about two hundred years to practice in several sects after we reached the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven. At that time, we had reached the Void-refining Realm.

“Sect Leader Ning and Elder Bai were the first ones to reach the Integration Realm. The rest of us reached the Void-refining Realm Peak Stage. We left the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven and went to the barren Star Areas to gain experience. We passed through hundreds of secret realms and wandered around the various Astral Domains.

“In the end, we were all in the Integration Realm and came to the Ocean Astral Domain hundreds of years ago.

“When we were practicing in the Illusory Sea Manor, Sect Leader Ning and Elder Bai reached the Mastery Realm and were chosen by the Sect Master. Later, we encountered a life-and-death crisis in a secret realm in a barren Star Area, and Sect Master saved us. At that time, we planned to go to the Silver Dragon Galaxy.

“However, Sect Master said that he was going out to travel. After he left, he was worried about the sect, so he asked us to take charge of it. Although he said that, later he requested us to repay him for saving us.

“He wanted us to refine our main Soul Lamps, but we weren’t willing to. It became a bit unpleasant. Later on, Sect Master swore with his soul that he would return the Soul Lamps in a hundred years. He asked us for that just to be at ease.

“At first, we were very grateful that he saved us. We discussed it, and then… we agreed in the end. However, once we did something wrong, the appointed time would be added. Now more than 300 years have passed, and we can’t leave. Sect Master wouldn’t let us go. He is now at the Tribulation Stage First Tier. The brothers and I have been dealing with almost all the affairs of the sect, and he has several core subordinates to assist us.”

Elder Li’s words made everyone silent.

Zhang Han also knew that Elder Li had simplified his story.

“What happened before they agreed?” The Sect Master must have used something to threaten or tempt them, or he had used something they were afraid of.

Otherwise, no one would be willing to hand over the Soul Lamp to someone else.

The Soul Lamp was closely related to the main soul. Once the other party harbored malicious intentions and used some means, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Isn’t this just a shameless act?” Mu Xue snorted.

“Sort of. There’s nothing I can do about it.” Elder Li sighed and laughed.

He had long been used to it.

“However, we can do whatever we want in the Ocean Astral Domain. We cultivate the same as usual. If we want to leave the Astral Domain, we just need the Sect Master to agree to it in person. Moreover, he doesn’t let too many people come out every time. The Sect Master of the Illusory Sea Manor has a strong sense of security. If he doesn’t give us a chance to leave, we won’t be able to either.”

Elder Li said, “But, Hanyang, since I’ve learned that you’re still alive, I’m relieved. I think you’ll come to pick us up in less than a hundred years. That’s good. We’ll get our business done here. When you’re fully developed, come over to talk. Sect Master wouldn’t dare to say no. Haha, you’re Han Yang Immortal. I mean it. If he knows your past reputation, I’m afraid he’ll piss his pants in fear.”

“It won’t take a hundred years.”

Zhang Han shook his head and said, “It won’t be long before I return to the Tribulation Stage. But there’s still a way… There was an elder who reached the Tribulation Stage. He should be at least at the third tier. Unfortunately, our team was swallowed by the space, and I don’t know where he is now.”

“Is that so?”

Elder Li Shan laughed and said, “It’s okay. Time is not a problem. Hope is the most important thing. There’s no need to trouble others. We’ll be fine in the Illusory Sea Manor for the time being. If there’s a chance this time, let’s go there together. I believe that Sect Leader Ning, Elder Bai, and the others will be very happy to see you.”

“After I pick up my wife, I’ll go there when I have a chance,” Zhang Han nodded and said.

“Who is your wife?” Elder Li was a little curious, and his expression was strange. “I wonder what kind of woman can… be with you.”

“She’s a super beautiful woman,” Mengmeng said with a snort.

“Haha, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to offend you. What I meant was that your father had never spoiled the Saintly Women and Divine Women of those sects in the past. When he disliked them, he would send them flying with a single slap,” Elder Li laughed and said.

The others present had strange looks on their faces when they heard this.

“Was Zhang Han so short-tempered?”

“That’s why I’m curious. How did they end up together?” Elder Li asked with a smile.

“I know that.” Mengmeng took the initiative to say, “When my dad was wooing my mum, he always put in a lot of effort. I keep that all in mind. He was so romantic at that time. Daddy even sang songs for her.”

Swoosh!

The smile on Elder Li’s face froze.

“What the hell?

“Their daughter saw it. What…”

Seeing that Elder Li looked quite confused, Zhang Han said, “She’s our biological daughter. We had her first before we got together.”

“I see. I see.” Elder Li exhaled and said, “I almost misunderstood. May I know who your wife is?”

“She’s not an ordinary cultivator. She’s very powerful. Well, she has a Roc, an Ancient Cursed Roc,” Zhang Han said.

“Well, I’m sure she’s not ordinary… Wait! What did you say? She has a Roc?”

Gurgle!

Elder Li swallowed a bit in a daze.

“What level is she at to have a Roc?”

He and his companions had never seen a Roc, which was the king of the Exotic Beasts since they were young.

That was something that high-end Tribulation Stage experts could only see when they traveled around.

“You’ll see it in a few days.” Zhang Han smiled and said, “We married for love, and it has nothing to do with cultivation.”

“Wow.”

Elder Li also smiled. He picked up a jar of wine and said, “Drink a jar for your love, Hanyang.”

“Cheers.”

“…”

Five days later, they got out of the secondary space.

After Zhang Han sensed the direction, they continued on the journey.

However, Elder Li Shan was bemused.

...

“Judging by the direction, she seems to be in the Ocean Astral Domain.”

Hearing this, Zhang Han nodded slightly and said, “It’s a 70% chance that she’s there. The Ocean Astral Domain is very large. I’ve been there a few times. It should be the largest Astral Domain in the Silver Dragon Galaxy.”

Elder Li smiled and said, “Yes, it’s large, but the Astral Domains there are not too big. If it is the place she’s in, things will be convenient. The Illusory Sea Manor is a top sect in the Ocean Astral Domain. Although my brothers and I have some restrictions, we still have very high status in the sect.”

“Alright.”

Zhang Han nodded slightly and said, “I just hope this can be done as soon as possible.”

The red seal’s energy reaction was about to dissipate.

And the closer he got to Zi Yan, the more anxious Zhang Han became.

It had been two years since he last saw her.

How was she doing?

Zhang Han had always been worried about her.

But he was helpless.

...

“She must be missing me very much. She must be waiting for me to pick her up.”

Although her disappearance had nothing to do with Zhang Han, he still blamed himself in his heart at this time.

Two years had passed. During the first ten months, he had been asleep in a palace in the void in the Domain of Seven Desolations.

After he woke up, it took him two months to find Mengmeng on the Vast Heaven Star before setting off.

It had been another year since they started to travel around.

After calculating, he found that Mengmeng was already 17.

In the Cultivation World, time flew by too fast.

Swoosh!

The spaceship reappeared in the void. Zhang Han confirmed the direction and then continued to move forward.

During these days, Zhang Han and Elder Li also talked about their cultivation.

Originally, Sect Leader Ning and Elder Bai were both about to advance to the Tribulation Stage First Tier. And they were even one step away from the Tribulation Stage.

Unfortunately, they failed in the end.

For some reason, the energy of the Thunder Tribulation was very high, and there was no problem with their state of mind, but something unexpected had happened.

It was hard to predict what would happen in the world. Now, Sect Leader Ning and the eight First Elders were all at the Peak Stage of the Mastery Realm.

Tribulation Stage was a barrier. After crossing it, one would truly get into the upper echelons of the Cultivation World.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not reach it.

Just like that, Zhang Han and his group were getting closer and closer to the Ocean Astral Domain.

A few days later, they arrived at a small Star Area on the edge of the Ocean Astral Domain.

They kept advancing and were getting closer and closer to the Astral Domain.

When they came to its edge, Zhang Han sensed the Blood Source Incantation and clicked on the coordinates of the Star Map in the system.

“We’ll go there.”

The fleet set off again.

In the secondary space, they flew at high speed.

The territory of the Ocean Astral Domain was vast. It truly did require some time for them to get to their destination.

On the other side, where the Fifth Heavenly King of the Sacred Wolf Mountain and Emperor Ao, the Blackhill Empire’s ruler, was at.

The two armies were still hunting down the Purple Moon Empire.

On this day.

“They’ve stopped!”

“Their fleet has stopped. Finally, they can no longer keep flying!”

When the Fifth Heavenly King’s teams left the void of the universe and saw many aircraft fleeing to a barren planet, they were overjoyed.

“It’s been a year. We’ve been chasing after them for a whole year. Now we’re finally getting them!”

“That detestable Purple Moon Empire should have been destroyed long ago.”

“How can they escape after going to the surface of this planet? Hahahaha, they’re courting death!”

“It means that their resources have been exhausted, and they can no longer fly in space.”

“Hurry up and inform the Fifth Heavenly King that we’re about to catch them.”

Many people were so excited that they could not control themselves.

It seemed that a great battle was about to take place, making everyone feel thrilled.

When the Fifth Heavenly King’s men informed him.

“Hmm?

“They abandoned their fleet and fled to the Barren Star?”

The Fifth Heavenly King strode out of his closed-door training room and came to the central control room. He sat on his chair and looked at the screen to capture the scene.

He faintly laughed and said, “Let them run. Let them all go to the Barren Star. Disperse the fleet and send out the detection aircraft to lock down this planet in all directions.”

At this time, the Fifth Heavenly King’s eyes seemed to be filled with a hint of mockery.

He supposed the other party should know that fleeing to the Barren Star was basically a dead end. They had no choice but to make this choice.

On the other side.

“Emperor Ao, the other party has finally stopped.”

Someone from the Blackhill Empire had come to report.

“Is that so?”

Emperor Ao’s face lit up with joy. “Wonderful!”

The strength of Emperor Ao of the Blackhill Empire was at the Last Stage of the Integration Realm. The most peripheral forces in the Astral Domain did not have much strength. Some of the Sect Masters were even in the Void-refining Realm. Some of the Sect Leaders of the lower-class sects were even in the God Transformation Realm. If that weren’t the case, the Purple Moon Empire would not have risen so quickly in the peripheral area.

“What did Fifth Heavenly King say about this?” Emperor Ao immediately asked.

“He didn’t say anything. He just said that he will let these people escape to the Barren Star first, seal off the planet, and then play with them slowly,” the subordinate replied.

“Hahaha, since the Fifth Heavenly King is in such a good mood, we’ll just watch from the side.” Emperor Ao laughed and said, “By the way, install the signal tower and do a live broadcast in our Wood Elven Star Area at the same time. The signal here is not great, so this matter should be done as soon as possible. When we catch the other party, I will tell all the people in the Wood Elven Star Area what will happen to the Purple Moon Empire for going against the Blackhill Empire!”

As he spoke, he actually began to grow excited.

What did he mean by his plan?

First, the Blackhill Empire would destroy the rising Purple Moon Empire.

Second, it was the Fifth Heavenly King who took action. He was one of the giants of the Sacred Wolf Mountain, and Emperor Ao had a backer there.

If this matter was handled properly, no one in their Star Area would dare to go against the Black Mountain Empire.

In fact, Emperor Ao knew very well that the reason why the Fifth Heavenly King would personally lead the team to carry out a hunt-down for a year was that he was going after that young Roc.

It had nothing to do with him, Emperor Ao.

The people on their side took action and quickly built a small space station outside the planet. The materials and procedures were not complicated, and the construction of the signal tower could be completed in about a day.

When the Blackhill Empire started to build the signal tower, the Fifth Heavenly King had already received the news.

He didn’t pay attention to this.

In his eyes, the Blackhill Empire was just a third-rate force.

If it weren’t for the fact that Emperor Ao would provide him with a lot of resources every year and he happened to take a walk around after his close-door training, he wouldn’t have come here.

However, it turned out that it was good to walk more. He actually spotted a young Roc.

If he could tame the Exotic Beast that tempted him, he would benefit greatly.

After chasing for a year, he consumed a lot of Energy Stones and crystal stones.

However, these things meant nothing to him.

“This game is about to end.”

The Fifth Heavenly King looked at the scene on the screen indifferently.

Many aircraft had fled to the surface. But where could they go? They had no way to escape from this planet.

There were also a lot of voices around Zi Yan.

“We’re done for! We can’t escape!”

“I told you back then that we shouldn’t have recklessly expanded our force. No one listened to me. Now, we’re all going to die.”

“Moon Empress, say something. You’re so powerful. Why can’t you take everyone with you to escape?”

“Enough!” Ke Zhan frowned and said, “The expansion was so fast before, but didn’t you enjoy the extra cultivation resources we got? Haha, you now sound so righteous. After you got that resources, didn’t you attack faster? Are you kidding me by saying this now?”

“Ke Zhan, what are you pretending for?” Someone said coldly with dissatisfaction, “If you hadn’t followed Moon Empress earlier and had such an identity, things would’ve been different. Don’t forget your own realm. Strength is the most important thing in the Cultivation World!”

“You!”

Ke Zhan’s face turned livid, and then he took a deep breath and said, “Let’s not talk about strength. We’re all on the same side now, so there’s no need for unnecessary arguments. We need to think of a way to escape from a weak point in their defense.”

“Everyone can make sarcastic remarks.” An old man in the crowd said slowly, “It’s you decision-makers who put the whole group in danger. I hope that when disaster befalls us, you will be the first to take it.”

The crowd was wavering.

Some even beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret. “I should have left the team privately back then, otherwise, I would not have ended up like this!”
