Back then, Zhu Kun had chosen to carry the unhatched dragon egg with him because he cherished his child so much.
However, Zhu Kun never expected that he would be trapped in the Ancient God Tuoshe's cave, causing Zi Yan to be left outside as soon as she was born.
If Zhu Kun had left the unhatched dragon egg within the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, Zi Yan would have been pampered like a little princess from the moment she was born.
During the years trapped in the Ancient God Tuoshe's cave, Zhu Kun's greatest worry was that Zi Yan might meet with misfortune. Every time he thought of this, his heart ached with guilt and regret.
Therefore, when Zhu Kun suddenly heard news about Zi Yan from Xiao Feng, he was somewhat at a loss.
Xiao Feng didn't pay attention to Zhu Kun's reaction and directly used a summoning technique to call Zi Yan over.
"Bang!!!"
With a puff of white smoke, Zi Yan, dressed in a purple long dress, appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Feng.
Although this was Zhu Kun's first time seeing Zi Yan after her birth, he instantly confirmed her identity by sensing the familiar bloodline connection.
Looking at Zi Yan, who bore a seventy percent resemblance to his deceased wife and had her hair in twin tails, Zhu Kun couldn't help but feel emotional. "Child... my child..."
"I'm an orphan, with no father or mother."
Before Zhu Kun could finish speaking, Zi Yan interrupted him with a stern face, though her tone revealed an undeniable sadness.
Recalling the memories of living alone in the deep mountains of the Black-Corner Region, being bullied by other magical beasts, and having to lick her wounds in solitude, tears welled up in Zi Yan's eyes.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been greedy for the Ancient God's cave. It was all Tuoshe Ancient God's scheme that trapped me here."
Seeing the tears in Zi Yan's eyes, Zhu Kun was overwhelmed with guilt. He instinctively wanted to step forward and wipe her tears but was blocked by the spatial barrier surrounding the Ancient God's cave. He could only apologize repeatedly.
"My child, my dear child, don't cry. It's all my fault. From now on, whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it, okay? If you don't believe me, I can swear!"
At this moment, Zhu Kun only wanted to make it up to Zi Yan. He even felt that if it could make her happy, he would be willing to fight against a Dou Di powerhouse.
"Alright, Yan'er, don't cry."
Xiao Feng gently hugged Zi Yan's slender waist and used his fingers to wipe away her tears. "You and your father have finally reunited; you should be happy.
Moreover, your father didn't intentionally lose you. He was also schemed against by Tuoshe Ancient God, which is why he's trapped here. Otherwise, he would never have let you wander alone outside.
Besides, if you hadn't been left in the Black-Corner Region, we wouldn't have had the chance to meet."
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Zhu Kun's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he found this "blond brat" somewhat more agreeable.
Comforted by Xiao Feng, Zi Yan nodded obediently and gently rested her head on his chest.
"Father-in-law, if you really want to make it up to Yan'er, why not teach us some advanced techniques and Dou Skills?"
After calming Zi Yan's emotions, Xiao Feng spoke to Zhu Kun. "This way, we can quickly improve our strength and gather the eight fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient God's jade to help you escape!"
"Good! That's only right. I have some techniques and Dou Skills that are perfect for Yan'er to practice..."
Zhu Kun paused mid-sentence, feeling that something was off. He couldn't help but ask, "Boy, what do you mean by the Tuoshe Ancient God's jade fragments? There's only one Tuoshe Ancient God's jade. And how do you know I'm trapped here?"
Zhu Kun, having lived for over ten thousand years and being a contemporary of Tuoshe Ancient God, wasn't easily fooled.
Earlier, Zhu Kun hadn't noticed these issues because the news about Zi Yan had overwhelmed him, leaving him no time to consider other matters.
Now that his emotions had settled somewhat, he quickly realized the inconsistencies.
"Father-in-law, you might not know this, but my awakened physique is quite special. I have the ability to randomly foresee future events, which allows me to know many secrets that ordinary people don't."
Facing Zhu Kun's suspicious gaze, Xiao Feng explained without changing his expression. "Not long ago, I foresaw a future scene where, decades from now, a group of Dou Saint powerhouses would gather eight fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient God's jade to open this Ancient God's cave. You would also be freed at that time."
"So that's how it is."
Learning that he only needed to wait a few more decades to be freed, Zhu Kun couldn't help but show a hint of excitement.
For ordinary people, a few decades might be a lifetime, but for Zhu Kun, who had lived for over ten thousand years, it was just a nap.
After calming his emotions, Zhu Kun began teaching Zi Yan the techniques and Dou Skills that only the Dragon God lineage of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was qualified to practice.
Soon, Zhu Kun used his soul power to implant all the information about his main techniques and Dou Skills into Zi Yan's mind.
Zhu Kun's main technique was called the "Dragon God Technique," a Heaven-ranked high-level technique most suitable for magical beasts with dragon bloodlines. It could continuously purify the dragon bloodline within the practitioner.
In addition to the "Dragon God Technique," Zhu Kun also taught Zi Yan two Heaven-ranked high-level Dou Skills: "Divine Dragon Nine Transformations" and "Void Escape Technique."
Among them, "Divine Dragon Nine Transformations" was a rare transformation Dou Skill, divided into nine layers. Each layer had a transformation form that could greatly enhance the practitioner's strength in a short time.
The main reason Zhu Kun taught Zi Yan "Divine Dragon Nine Transformations" was that it was one of the few Heaven-ranked high-level Dou Skills that a Dou Emperor powerhouse could practice.
Normally, to use a Heaven-ranked Dou Skill, one needed at least the cultivation level of a Dou Venerate. Otherwise, the practitioner's Dou Qi wouldn't be sufficient to unleash a Heaven-ranked Dou Skill.
However since this technique was special. Like the "Emperor Seal," it could be practiced in separate parts.
The first transformation of "Divine Dragon Nine Transformations" was called "Chi Wen Transformation," which only required the cultivation level of a Dou Emperor. It could increase the practitioner's strength by approximately three stars in a short time.
As for the "Void Escape Technique," it was a spatial-type survival Dou Skill that could greatly increase Zi Yan's speed while moving through the void.
After Zhu Kun finished explaining the abilities of these techniques and Dou Skills, Xiao Feng suddenly asked, "Father-in-law, it seems I also have some dragon bloodline in me. Can I practice these techniques and Dou Skills with Yan'er?"
As soon as Xiao Feng finished speaking, he used the power of the Azure Dragon Fruit to transform into a dragon-human form.
