Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker

"Senior Ancestor, this... your actions... were a bit too harsh, weren't they?"

Su Xuanlong's face didn't look too good.

"No worries, these little injuries will heal in a few days. You know, one must polish the jade to make it a tool. I'm doing this for his own good."

Qin Zi said with a righteous tone.

Su Xuanlong nearly exploded with anger!

Not only was Che Zhen's body severely injured, but his Dao Heart was also utterly shattered. Who knows how long it would take him to recover, he might even never get back up... And yet this kind of heartless act is still claimed to be for his own good?

"I feel like chopping off your head to lighten your shoulders!"

He cursed inwardly.

But on the surface, he still managed to keep his composure.

At this moment, Qin Zi's eyes suddenly lit up. With a smile, he said, "I remember the sect has a Dragon Fish Pool housing a group of dragon fish. I haven't seen them for years and wonder how they've grown."

Whoa!

Su Xuanlong's eyelids twitched violently, and all the muscles in his body tensed up, barely able to suppress the primordial force within!

What is this brat planning? Does he intend to target the dragon fish?!

The dragon fish!!

That is the Treasure of the Sect for Dongsheng Divine Sect, the one and only treasure in the entire Eastern Domain!

Eight thousand years ago, the Sword Emperor brought this exotic species back from the Dragon Transformation Pool in the distant Western Domain. Although they are fish, they carry the True Dragon Bloodline, and their blood has numerous wonderful uses. Whether it's in alchemy or artifact refining, it has miraculous effects, and it can even be consumed directly to greatly enhance one's physique!

These dragon fish grow extremely slowly and reproduce very slowly. Eight thousand years have passed, and there are only about two hundred of them.

Even within Dongsheng Divine Sect, they are unwilling to indulge in the dragon fish. It was only a thousand years ago that when Emperor Yu ascended to emperor, the Sword Emperor killed a few dragon fish to feast the emperors of East Emperor Hall, the Jiang Family, the Ji Family, and the Chu Family!

In short, this is Dongsheng Divine Sect's forbidden treasure.

Everyone in the Eastern Domain has heard of Dongsheng Divine Sect's dragon fish, but no one has ever dared to target them, or even mention them!

Once, there was a renowned thief in the Eastern Domain, a Saint of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, who attempted to steal the dragon fish. The Sword Emperor didn't kill him.

But he chopped off one of his legs.

And cured it into ham, hanging it above the city gate of the largest city in the Eastern Domain—Tianhe City, for a full three years for the world to see.

From then on, that thief vanished from sight...

"Senior Ancestor, the dragon fish grow slowly, only about an inch in a century. After just a few years, there probably hasn't been much change."

Su Xuanlong said.

No matter what, he must symbolically stop it; otherwise, he can't get over his internal hurdle.

"Haha, even if they've not changed, my heart has. Visiting an old place after years is a unique feeling in itself."

Qin Zi said with an eye full of reminiscing emotion, "I remember a few years back, I was at the poolside feeding them Spirit Grass... In the blink of an eye, a few years have passed. How time flies..."

Su Xuanlong's mouth twitched violently.

Pretend!

Keep up with your pretenses!

A few years ago, this brat was probably still herding cattle in some corner. Does Dongsheng Divine Sect even have someone like you?

"Lead the way, let's go see the dragon fish."

Qin Zi recovered from his reminiscent sighs and said with an undeniable tone.

Su Xuanlong struggled inwardly but ultimately sighed and led the way with a stoic expression.

Fine, let's just watch.

If this brat wants to catch the dragon fish later, he will definitely stop him. After all, even Emperor Yu's disciple can't catch the dragon fish at will!

This was raised by the Sword Emperor!

The Sword Emperor's power is unfathomable, and he is also Emperor Yu's master. Even Emperor Yu would have to bow respectfully before the Sword Emperor.

Soon enough.

The group arrived at the Dragon Fish Pool.

This was a towering peak, surrounded by verdant mountains, with a humid mist, giving it a drizzling ambiance.

At the peak of the mountain was an irregular cold pool with a diameter of a thousand meters. The pool had no banks, looking like a single solid piece, as if the mountain had been sliced flat with a sword, its cut surface smooth as a mirror.

The water in the pool was cool and chilly, with a faint white mist rising gently from the surface—a smoke-tinted emerald wave!

"Bloop, bloop."

Qin Zi and his group hovered above the pool, looking down at the pool below, vaguely seeing golden fish swimming at the bottom.

These fish varied in size.

The largest ones were nearly two meters long, while the smallest were only two to three inches, not much more significant than loaches.

"Wow!!"

Suddenly, a dragon fish leapt out of the water, jumping three meters high and splashing a large swathe of white water.

And its appearance became fully revealed—a golden dragon head, a carp's body, a tail soft and long, its scales much larger than an average fish's, exuding an aura of power amidst its graceful movements.

"Little Gold!"

Qin Zi suddenly shouted, rushing over as if meeting an old friend, nostalgic tears flowing from his mouth...

"Thud!"

However, he directly bumped into an invisible barrier, then heard Su Xuanlong saying, "Senior Ancestor, to prevent fish theft, a protective array has long been set on the Dragon Fish Pool."

"Take it down! Didn't you see I'm about to get cozy with Little Gold? Look how much it's missed me, even jumping out to greet me voluntarily."

Qin Zi said.

"Well... I'm afraid I'm powerless. This array was set by the grand Sword Emperor himself; no one else can open it."

Su Xuanlong said with difficulty.

In truth, he was making it all up!

He personally checked the dragon fish daily, feeding them and refreshing the pool. Naturally, he held the token to disable the array.

"Really? Then why was I able to play with Little Gold five years ago?" Qin Zi asked with a furrowed brow.

Su Xuanlong's face twitched.

He almost wanted to curse outright—bullshit five years ago! Whether you were there five years ago, don't you even know yourself?!

Have you lied so much that you've begun to believe it yourself?!

But what finally came out was: "Hmm, maybe the great Sword Emperor permitted it back then. After all, you had just become Emperor Yu's disciple, so as his grand-disciple, you were indulged."

He blocked off the timeline decisively!

He said this brat became a disciple five years ago to prevent this shameless guy from claiming next, "I was there ten years ago..."

Of course, Qin Xiaozhu wouldn't let him have his way.

He blinked, then furrowed his brows and said, "Xuanlong, did you remember it wrong? I became a disciple when I was seven; that was twelve years ago. You even gave me a congratulatory gift back then."

Poo!!

Su Xuanlong almost spat out old blood, and even the Elders beside him had their old faces twitching.

"Haha, really? Then maybe I remembered wrong."

Su Xuanlong took a deep breath and told himself to stay calm, just endure these few days, and everything would be over.

"This array, is it really not openable?" Qin Chuan, who had been watching quietly from the side, asked rhetorically.

"Truly unopenable."

Su Xuanlong affirmed.

"What if it's opened?" Qin Chuan asked.

"This is an array set by the Sword Emperor himself. Without his consent, even the Feather Emperor Ancestor can't open it. If it can be opened... it means the Sword Emperor Ancestor has tacitly approved it."

Su Xuanlong said solemnly.

But in his heart, he was sneering.

The array set by the Sword Emperor Ancestor, how could you open it? You're daydreaming to even have such a fantasy!

"I think the Sword Emperor has already given permission."

At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly smiled mysteriously and then said to Qin Zi, "Xiao Zi, give it a try, see if you can go in."

"Okay!"

Qin Zi's eyes lit up. He trusted his father completely, and since his father said so, it was likely not a problem.

So, he took another step forward toward the array.

"Boop!"

As if passing through a thin membrane, the array rippled like water, and then he was already inside the array.

"How is this possible?!"

Su Xuanlong's face changed dramatically, full of astonishment. He absolutely did not believe that the Sword Emperor Ancestor would allow this person to enter the Dragon Fish Pool!

At this time, Qin Zi swung both hands, a huge pale yellow sack appeared in his hand, and he grabbed the mouth of the sack.

"Darlings, you miss me, don't you? Who wants to come in? I'll take you out to play!"

Qin Zi enthusiastically called out to the Dragon Fish.

"Splish splash!"

"Splish splash!"

As soon as he spoke, more than a dozen big fish leaped up, bringing up huge splashes, rushing towards the sack eagerly.

These fish looked agile, but in truth, they were a bit stiff, as if they were cramping, and even their eyes showed involuntary terror...

"This..."

"This..."

The surrounding Elders stared dumbfounded at this scene, their complexions changing unpredictably, seemingly at a loss of what to do.

While Qin Zi, loading fish into the sack, turned his head and laughed, "Hahaha, they are really playful. As soon as you mention going out to play, they get so enthusiastic, I can't even fit them all in this sack."

"You, you, you... stop that right now!"

Finally, Su Xuanlong couldn't hold it in any longer, letting out an earth-shaking roar, "The Dragon Fish must not be moved!"

"What?"

Qin Zi turned his head, staring blankly at Su Xuanlong, seeming as if his expression froze, but strangely, his body did not freeze. His hands didn't miss a beat, expertly tying the huge sack filled with over a dozen big Dragon Fish, making a knot, and storing it in the Space Ring.

The Space Ring cannot hold living things, but that special sack can, although unfortunately, the sack's capacity is limited.

Qin Zi walked out of the pool and asked, "Why can't they be moved? The Sword Emperor Ancestor has already tacitly approved, and he hasn't stopped me."

Su Xuanlong's face stiffened abruptly.

He was speechless, choked up.

Yet his heart was still shaken—just how did this kid get in? What method did he use?!

Now what?

To get rough? That's not an option, as the situation hasn't fully escalated yet, and that thin layer hasn't been pierced by anyone.

But, there's absolutely no way this brat can take away these over a dozen largest Dragon Fish, absolutely not!!

"Boom rumble!"

And just as he was paralyzed with indecision, an immense pressure erupted from the forbidden grounds of the Dongsheng Divine Sect, sweeping over grandly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Distinct footsteps resonated from the sky, as if a deity had descended upon the mortal realm, noble, majestic, yet graceful.

"This aura!"

"This is... Feather Emperor Ancestor!!"

Su Xuanlong and many Elders trembled, looking towards the sky, their eyes filled with fervor.

"Dad."

Qin Zi hid behind Qin Chuan, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart, suspecting that Feather Emperor couldn't hold it anymore and was about to escalate things.

He, currently just in the third layer of the Saint Realm, was still quite intimidated by a Realm Emperor, intimidated naturally.

"It's okay."

Qin Chuan said calmly.

At this moment, he was very steady.

Because he still had 5.5 Lu Chong's worth of "father points," using the "Realm Emperor Possession" plug-in to randomly obtain the power of a Realm Emperor.

Even if luck isn't great and he starts off with a slightly weaker Realm Emperor's power, by switching several times, calculated at three seconds per switch, he could eventually switch to a powerful Realm Emperor to suppress the Feather Emperor with no problem.

Moreover...

He might even get a "show-off guarantee card"!

He had asked the system, and as long as he and his son were causing trouble on the enemy's turf and encountered irresistible forces, there was a certain chance of getting a show-off guarantee card; and now, they were at Dongsheng Divine Sect!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, those footsteps became clearer, and when Qin Chuan and his son looked up, they saw a handsome young man in a cyan robe, with jet-black hair but leaving two long bangs, walking in the air.

"Greetings, Feather Emperor Ancestor!"

"Greetings, Feather Emperor Ancestor!"

Su Xuanlong and the Elders were excited, kneeling in mid-air as if there was an invisible floor there.

"Mm."

The Feather Emperor nodded faintly, his eyes swept over Qin Chuan, finally landing on Qin Zi, asking kindly, "Disciple, why are you not kneeling when you see your master?"

Boom!

Qin Zi was struck as if by lightning.

He suddenly recalled those disciples of Dongsheng Divine Sect whom he'd forced to kneel before under his "Senior Ancestor" identity.

Suddenly, his face twitched a few times, and for some reason, a phrase popped into his heart—dare to ask the heavens who has it spared!!
