Chapter 290: with translation of chapter title

"Mom, Panpan, just spare me!"

Seeing his mother and sister on left and right, they attacked from both sides.

Gu Han felt like he had two heads!

The Kunpeng simply hatched from a divine beast's egg.

Where is he supposed to go find them a daughter-in-law, with the sister-in-law coming back?

Unlike Gu Han, the Kunpeng delighted in being held by Xu Xin Zhu and her daughter, never tiring of it.

Fully assuming the identity of Gu Han's son, he even stabbed Gu Han in the chest, speaking in a childish voice,

"Yes, Father, where is my mother now? Kunpeng misses her."

Since the Kunpeng had already taken human form, he could no longer continue using the name Kunpeng in front of people.

As a responsible father, Gu Han naturally took it upon himself to give the Kunpeng a name!

But he had no experience naming, so he could only give the Kunpeng a simple, easy-to-understand name based on its features.

Gu Kun!

Although Gu Kun's nickname was Kunpeng, it definitely did not mean paying tribute to two and a half years!

Gu Han's eyes rolled, and he chuckled,

"Mom, you have to believe me, Kunpeng is truly someone I picked up from a pile of corpses."

Hearing this, Kunpeng's big round eyes instantly widened in disbelief.

What?

"The emperor actually said he was picked up from a pile of corpses?"

"As a mighty Kunpeng, how could he possibly end up in a pile of corpses!"

Just as Kunpeng was about to speak to refute, he saw the emperor glare at him fiercely.

Kunpeng could only pout pitifully, not daring to make a sound.

And upon hearing Gu Kun's background, Xu Xin Zhu's gaze shifted from affection to pity.

"Our Kunpeng is truly pitiful—he was born in a pile of corpses, fortunately Xiao Han picked you up."

"Rest assured, from now on you are Xiao Han's son and part of our family."

In just a few words, Xu Xin Zhu solidified Kunpeng's identity.

Gu Han opened his mouth, but could only endure this reality!

"Hehe, I'm now an aunt too!"

Gu Pan stood with hands on hips, a proud expression,

"Kunpeng, just tell Aunt whatever you need, and Aunt will definitely get it for you!"

Hearing Gu Pan say that and seeing the confidence in her eyes, Kunpeng's eyes lit up instantly.

Could it be that the emperor's sister, who wanders the mortal world, is actually some hidden worldly expert?

Her aura was restrained so perfectly that even he could not discern any reality or falseness!

"Cough cough."

Gu Han cleared his throat, giving a light cough twice.

Could he still not know Gu Pan's thoughts?

Let Kunpeng casually make a wish; if Gu Pan can't fulfill it, this arduous task will fall on him!

Only after Xu Xin Zhu and her daughter got along well with Kunpeng did the group leave the courtyard.

Gu Ren and the other elders, along with the rest of the clansmen, had long been waiting not far away.

They made idle chatter, probing to find out what the earlier commotion was about.

Gu Han had long anticipated this turn of events.

He could not possibly leak Kunpeng's existence to others.

Gu Han and Xu Xin Zhu promptly used their pre-prepared excuse to get past it.

"The commotion just now was due to Xiao Han's spear intent making a breakthrough."

Gu Ren knew of Gu Han's identity as a spear cultivator.

Although he had never seen the spear technique that surpasses spear intent.

But from the rarity of spear cultivators, and the fact that those who master spear technique are all top-tier experts,

one can conclude that mastering spear technique is absolutely extremely difficult!

Being able to cause such a commotion is also quite reasonable!

At least in their minds, it is very reasonable!

Only Gu Chen, hearing this reason, felt uncertain in his heart.

Under Jian Lao's supervision, he had already broken through sword intent to the realm of sword technique.

Although at that time Jian Lao helped restrain his aura to avoid causing too great a commotion.

But even if he let loose completely, letting the commotion from breaking through sword technique sweep all directions,

it still absolutely could not be as grand as before!

Gu Han, there must absolutely be other things he's hiding from them!

But he likewise has his own secrets and has no intention of getting to the bottom of them.

But Gu Chen's heart nonetheless felt a growing sense of urgency.

As the elder brother, he is also the sword master recognized by Jian Lao.

With the help of his ever-present grandfather, his realm advancement and battle prowess actually still fall short of Gu Han's.

This is something Gu Chen finds hard to accept!

"Jian Lao, the matter of going to the Sword Tomb, I think we can put it on the schedule!"

The Jian Lao in the sword pendant, hearing Gu Chen say that, fell into contemplation for a moment.

"Originally, according to my estimate, Sword Master, you at least need to reach the Martial Ancestor realm; only then would entering the Sword Tomb guarantee safety!"

"But your progress over this period, I have seen it all; compared to what I expected, you have already become much stronger."

"Since Sword Master, you are already eager, we will set out in three days."

"During these three days, you must do your utmost to increase your own strength, to guarantee safety!"

Gu Chen nodded solemnly.

In the time that followed.

Gu Chen relieved himself of the task of instructing the disciples and began a three‑day seclusion.

And Gu Han, worried about encountering something like Li Kaisan again, did not leave Han Shan Cheng.

He simply stayed with his mother and sister, enjoying the joy of family togetherness.

Ben Lang Guo, capital city.

Ben Lang Hall!

According to the custom of Ben Lang Guo, a court audience is held every three days.

On the day of this court audience, all the officials originally thought it was just an ordinary court audience.

But they noticed that the monarch, seated on the throne, actually had an undisguised smile in his eyes.

Chancellor Ye Kai stepped forward, holding the ceremonial tablet, and said with a smile,

"Your subject sees that Your Majesty's countenance is greatly pleased; I do not know what great joyous occasion this is."

The monarch, Xiao Wan Di, smiled lightly and said,

"I have just received news from my teacher, and have already surveyed ahead of other nations the location where the Chong Yuan secret realm will appear!"

Chong Yuan!

Upon hearing this term, all the officials present had their faces slightly change.

According to ancient records, Chong Yuan is an extremely dangerous secret realm.

Within the Chong Yuan secret realm, the Black Tide engulfs everything, causing all living beings to lose their reason.

Becoming creatures that know only slaughter!

But for cultivators outside Chong Yuan, this place is undoubtedly a treasure trove!

Those from the outside, upon entering Chong Yuan, can have a two‑hour period to adapt.

Within this two‑hour period, the secret realm will help outsiders resist the Black Tide's erosion, allowing them to gradually adapt.

After this two‑hour period ends, the protection fades, and cultivators can rely only on their own willpower to resist the Black Tide!

As long as cultivators can resist the Black Tide's invasion of their reason.

This Chong Yuan world will let them reap a bountiful harvest!

According to the secret realm's rules, all Chong Yuan monsters slain by outsiders will turn into Qi Blood and spiritual energy that surge into their bodies.

This also means that the longer they can endure.

The more monsters they slay, the greater the benefit for them!
