"I'm also very happy!"
Du Shaofu took the wine jug and took a big gulp. Then, he passed the jug back to Du Tingxuan. Although he was still thinking about the Demon God, he was indeed very happy. He also knew what his alcoholic father was happy about. Since he was young, his alcoholic father had always been drinking alone in this courtyard. Every year, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, he would find him to drink a few mouthfuls. And now, the family was finally reunited.
"I'm very proud to have a son like you. As expected of my son, Du Tingxuan." Du Tingxuan took the wine jug and took another big gulp.
"I'm also very proud to have a father like you." Du Shaofu said. He was already used to the way the father and son interacted.
"Drink a few mouthfuls with me. I'm really happy today."
"Okay. Actually, your alcohol tolerance might not be as good as mine."
"Impossible. I was the one who taught you how to drink."
"There's a saying that goes, 'the student surpasses the master'."
"…"
In the courtyard, the moonlight poured down. The father and son drank one mouthful after another.
Looking at the father and son, Han Aotong and Du Shaojing smiled at each other and quietly accompanied them.
"When your grandmaster and senior Bei Chi came to find you, they should have mentioned the origin of the Thunder Vein to you, right?"
Suddenly, Du Tingxuan looked at Du Shaofu. His bright red face became serious.
"You already knew the identity of senior Bei Chi and that old man Fu Yibai?" Du Shaofu asked.
"I found out at the same time as you."
Du Tingxuan shook his head and said to Du Shaofu, "But I already knew that your grandmaster purposely stayed in the Du family to find the Thunder Vein. And I was the person your grandmaster chose. He hoped that I could completely awaken the Thunder Vein."
His voice paused for a moment. Du Tingxuan looked at Du Shaofu and smiled embarrassedly. "Actually, there's something I've been sorry about."
"We're father and son. There's no need to say so much."
Du Shaofu smiled at Du Tingxuan and asked, "But I'm still curious. What do you have that you can't let me down?"
"Do you still remember when you were five or six years old? That storm …" Du Tingxuan paused as he watched Du Shaofu's reaction.
"I remember. I was struck by lightning once." How could Du Shaofu not remember? During that sudden storm, he was trying to comprehend the mysterious technique on the stone tablet when a drought lightning suddenly struck the stone tablet. In the end, the stone tablet was fine, but he suffered an unexpected calamity. He was struck by lightning and fell into a coma for three days and three nights before waking up. However, it was also because of that lightning strike that the three of them were able to enter that wonderful state of comprehension. The mysterious talisman engravings on the stone tablet that were related to the mysterious move also appeared in their minds along with the lightning strike, allowing them to comprehend it.
"Actually, that day, I was awakening the Thunder Martial Vein. I was careless and struck you. Fortunately, you're fine. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll feel uneasy for the rest of my life."
Du Tingxuan smiled at Du Shaofu and continued, "Later, when you were in a daze in front of the stone tablet, even I almost thought that you were struck by lightning. I felt uneasy for a period of time."
"You …"
Hearing this, Du Shaofu was stunned. He stared at Du Tingxuan tightly. It was as if a herd of wild beasts were roaring in his heart and could not be calmed down for a long time.
"Phew …"
After a while, Du Shaofu took a deep breath. He looked at Du Tingxuan and said snappily, "Forget it. Who asked you to be my father?"
"Of course, I'm your father." Du Tingxuan laughed.
"So, the stone coffin in the ancestral shrine was also your doing?"
Du Shaofu looked at Du Tingxuan and suddenly remembered that he would climb out of the stone coffin in the ancestral shrine every once in a while. No one would believe him when he told them, and they even thought that he was a fool.
"Yes, that stone coffin is a treasure that can cleanse the marrow and bones. It was discovered by your grandmaster. I've been cleansing my marrow and bones since I was young."
Du Tingxuan looked at Du Shaofu and said, "At that time, an ancestor of Legalism said that you were born with an incomplete Martial Vein, but I know that's not the case. You were seriously injured by those people of Legalism and your vitality was endless. You shook the heaven and earth and caused a vision. Divine lightning fell from the sky and the heavenly might descended. You were protected by the heaven and earth, so how could you be mediocre? I already knew that the Du Family has a great origin. The son of I, Du Tingxuan, is not an innocent bystander!"
Du Shaofu's eyes were a little wet. His drunkard father had been silently protecting him since he was young.
"In the face of the calamity, our Du Family has the Thunder Vein and a great origin. We will bear the brunt of it. Father and son, we will fight side by side. Even if we can't stop the calamity, we will protect the peace!" Du Tingxuan said as he patted Du Shaofu's shoulder.
"Father, brother, me too. Don't forget that I'm a natural Holy Venerable and have awakened the Thunder Vein. I'm also a member of the Du Family!" Du Shaojing's beautiful figure walked over. Her ethereal eyes shone like stars on her extraordinary face.
"Me too. Our family will never be separated again!"
Han Aotong walked over with a satisfied smile on her beautiful face.
"Our family will never be separated again." Du Shaofu smiled and looked at his drunkard father, mother, and sister beside him. At this moment, he felt very comfortable.
"I must increase my strength as soon as possible to stop that Demonic God!"
Du Shaofu's conviction in the depths of his heart grew stronger. His family was finally reunited, and he had to protect them all.
The night passed slowly.
Early in the morning, everything was silent.
The morning light on the eastern horizon slowly soaked into the light blue sky.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness before dawn, it crossed the mountains and finally enveloped the stone city.
"Phew!"
Du Shaofu, who was sitting cross-legged, withdrew his hand seal and exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi. His eyes shone with golden light as he stretched his back. He felt indescribably comfortable.
"Roc Emperor, many people are here. There are Elder Qing Yang and Sect Master Sima Tuxing from the Ancient Heaven Sect, Elder Tang Meiling from the Hehuan School, and Young Sect Master Mu from the Samon Sword Sect."
Li Xue reported that many people from the Barren Country had come to congratulate the Barren Country. They were able to receive ordinary guests, but guests like Mu Jianchen from the Ancient Heaven Sect, Hehuan School, and Samon Sword Sect had to be reported.
"Master, you're here?" Du Shaofu smiled, and then disappeared.
Li Xue looked at the disappearing figure and smiled. She had known the Demon King's character since their time at the Tianwu Academy. Under his ferocious and domineering appearance, he had always protected his elders and the people around him with his life. Even now that he had stepped into the Saint Realm and was one of the top experts in the world, he still respected his Master without the slightest arrogance.
Du Shaofu met his Master Feng Qingyang, Senior Sima Tuxing, the Golden Roc Domain Master, and other elders of the Ancient Heaven Sect in a side hall of the palace.
"Haha." Gu Qingyang laughed, his two front teeth protruding out of his mouth. After hearing the news, he immediately rushed to the Barren Country.
After chatting with his Master Gu Qingyang, Senior Sima Tuxing, and the Golden Roc Domain Master for a while, Du Shaofu went to see Tang Meiling and the others, accompanied by Ji Zhiyan and the others.
"She didn't come?" Du Shaofu was a little surprised when he didn't see Su Muxin.
"Master is cultivating in seclusion." Ji Zhiyan said, and then an unfathomable light fell from her eyes. She still remembered that when they were in Tianchuan City, the person in front of her was already unreachable.
"Do you miss Junior Sister? I know she wants to come too. I really don't understand you guys." Tang Meiling said. Over the years, as her cultivation improved, she became more and more charming and seductive.
"After a while, I will go to Munchū to see her." Du Shaofu thought of that beautiful figure in his mind.
After a while, Du Shaofu saw many familiar faces: Mu Jianchen, Yue Zheng Tongxuan, Feng Wuxie, Mu Qingge, Baili Wuya, and the others. There was also Hua Zimo, who had an extraordinary relationship with the Barren Country. They were accompanied by Ye Piaoling and the others.
When Du Shaofu arrived, everyone stood up and saluted. Their eyes were shocked, but they were not too restrained. They had fought side by side in the past, and their friendship had long reached the point where it had nothing to do with strength.
"This is too abnormal. The Saint Realm, I don't know when we will be able to set foot in it."
Mu Jianchen and the others stared at Du Shaofu and carefully sized him up, unable to recover for a long time.
"The Golden-winged Roc Clan is here!"
Such a voice resounded throughout the entire Stone City. Golden light expanded from the sky as one figure after another swept over. The formless tyrannical aura shook the heavens. The ones in the lead were Jialou Jueyu and Jialou Cailing.
"The Phoenix Clan is here to pay a visit to Huolei Laozu and the Roc Emperor!"
"The Confucian School is here to pay a visit to Huolei Laozu and the Witch Sovereign!"
"The Taoist School is here to pay a visit to Huolei Laozu and the Roc Emperor!"
"The School of Agriculture is here to pay a visit to the Master of Fire Thunder and the Roc Emperor!"
"…"
Following that, the Stone City was shaken and did not calm down. Various powers came to pay a visit and congratulate. Needless to say, the Golden-winged Roc Clan came directly and did not treat themselves as outsiders.
The Phoenix Clan, Confucian School, Taoist School, School of Agriculture, School of Mohism, School of Yin-Yang, and even the School of Buddhism came.
