Chapter 1816: Reunion

Dong Yong was extremely surprised that the entire family was at the Immortal Monarch Level and absolutely not a match for Five Stars. He couldn’t believe two humble Golden Immortals could restrain Five Stars. That was too unrealistic?

"What? Does the Western Immortal Emperor have no time for you now? Do you feel particularly dejected?" The idea was to constantly provoke him, only then could he reveal more.

The more enraged, the more he revealed. Suddenly, Five Stars seemed to have frozen in place.

Su Yuanyuan exerted her full strength in a Divine Sense Attack, making it impossible for him to defend.

Tan Shaoting’s Divine Punishment Sword directly struck him.

In an instant, Five Stars’s Divine Soul wanted to escape, only to be bound by Qi Yan’s lightning net. There were screams from within.

Dong Yong was even more shocked; he really hadn’t expected two Golden Immortals to actually kill an Immortal Monarch.

The reason Su Yuanyuan acted now was due to Liu Xu mentioning the weak point period, which indeed wasn’t just that particular day but spanned over three months. It was just that particular day being the weakest.

Dong Xiaowan let out a sigh of relief, not caring about the still screaming Five Stars, but instead holding onto Xiao Rue’s hand, "Father, this is your grandson."

Dong Yong knew his daughter had given birth to a child before her ascension, thinking it was in the Cultivation World. He didn’t expect to find him in the Immortal World already, and moreover at Golden Immortal cultivation.

"Xiao Rue, this is your grandfather, your mother’s father."

Xiao Rue saluted, "Greetings, grandfather."

Dong Yong laughed heartily, "Very impressive. I didn’t expect us to have such a fate."

He didn’t say much, recognizing Xiao Rue was certain, given how difficult it is to have children in the Immortal World.

Moreover, the male cultivator didn’t speak, though he watched with no romantic feelings towards the young woman.

Su Yuanyuan put away Five Stars’s Divine Soul, Tan Shaoting put up Five Stars’s corpse, knowing this Immortal Monarch likely had issues to discuss later.

After the two cleaned themselves up, they approached Dong Yong for greetings.

"The two of you are truly impressive, but disposing of my nephew like this seems a bit off."

Tan Shaoting bowed his hands. "Senior, back in our next life, he wanted to kill my son, as you saw from the situation just now, we would absolutely not tolerate such actions."

Dong Yong didn’t say much. Actually, Five Stars wasn’t particularly close, just killing him at home is somewhat embarrassing.

"Father, seniors, I’m taking Xiao Rue back home." Dong Xiaowan was truly excited.

Every day she thought about her son, only having seen him once. Originally wanting to go to the next life, but the Ascension Channel had closed, and Five Stars frequently threatened over a hundred years, if she went looking for Xiao Rue, he would find a way to kill him.

It hadn’t been three hundred years yet, unsure how the child had grown. Thus, despite yearning, she didn’t seek him out.

Unexpectedly, heaven granted her such a delightful surprise, allowing her child to come find her. How fortunate was that?

Tan Shaoting naturally had no objections. Xiao Rue smiled, allowing his mother to hold his hand.

After mother and son left, the family heads discussed the matter.

As the groom’s family, they had to be proactive.

"Senior, let’s talk about their situation."

This made Dong Yong much more at peace. Now, this was correct.

"You all please come in," he said, glancing at Qi Xuan.

Everyone entered the hall. Tan Shaoting smiled, inviting Dong Yong to sit.

"Senior, from the moment of our Ascension, we began investigating Xiao Rue’s mother’s situation. That Five Stars Immortal Monarch, targeting my son, gave us an impression of his appearance, making him easier to find.

We had been Ascended for quite some time; only now were we capable enough to come.

Tan Shaoting spoke earnestly, pleasing Dong Yong.

"Yes. Actually, I was aware of Xiao Rue’s existence, Xiaowan wanting to return since coming back to find Xiao Rue, Five Stars fancied her, threatening Xiaowan.

I hadn’t intervened, mainly because I also felt Xiao Rue needed to grow."

This was understandable, especially since the Starry Realm’s Ascension Channel had been destroyed. Having this child was useless.

"We were lucky to ascend, always wanting to find Xiaowan."

Qi Xuan watched the elders finish speaking before coming forth to greet.

Dong Yong appreciated the Tan Family’s appearance and capabilities immensely.

"Throughout the next life, Xiaowan told me everything. I see you have no romantic feelings towards Xiaowan, despite having a child. But this wasn’t born of Xiaowan’s Immortal Body. It still belongs to our Dong Family."

Tan Shaoting nodded with a smile; Qi Xuan respectfully listened from the side.

Su Yuanyuan spoke, "Everyone should return to rest. Qi Xuan, you depart as well."

Everyone left.

Dong Yong highly regarded this female cultivator, knowing she was exceedingly powerful.

Only the three of them remained.

"Senior, we didn’t come to demand anything. After my son returned to the Immortal World following Xiaowan’s death, each time he progressed, his Heart Demon was this.

He is our youngest child, always smooth sailing, never facing hardship.

You may feel my son lacks feelings for Xiaowan. We are unsure, regardless, the decision is with my son; the children need to decide themselves."

Dong Yong nodded. Knowing Qi Xuan’s Heart Demon Tribulation was the young woman, revealed this male cultivator was deeply emotional.

Everyone knows a cultivator rarely invests emotionally in mortal women. That matter was an exception.

"Alright, let them decide themselves."

The Tan Family indeed excelled; better than any common man if successful.

Xiaowan took her son back to her courtyard, giving him the Array Key.

"Mother, we always wanted to find you, I am an Immortal Body, having no issues cultivating in the next life.

My father’s Heart Demon Tribulation each time was you; my grandmother was very anxious."

We were fortunate to ascend several places in the North Immortal Emperor Realm to improve ourselves; otherwise, here would have been too dangerous."

"That’s quite impressive. Xiao Rue, you’ve reached the same cultivation as mother already; truly amazing."

Xiao Rue felt a bit embarrassed by his mother’s praise.

"Mother, how have you been since returning?"

"Haha, I’ve always been one not fond of going out. After your grandfather brought me home, I haven’t left."

Xiao Rue now knew why his little aunt was unaware of his mother’s existence, having wondered why the daughter of a city lord wouldn’t be known. Now it was clear his mother was indeed very gentle.

"Xiao Rue, tell me about your time in the Cultivation World."

"Mother, I grew up nurtured by grandmother, being an Immortal Embryo, lacking resources in the Mortal World, at first very weak.

My father, due to your Ascension, was injured by the Yin Realm’s Ascension Pool Water, returning to the sect to begin closed-door training."
