Chapter 337: Great Void Kun Race’s Forbidden Tablet
Kun Xu and Kun Yu stood side by side within the simple and ancient palace.
There was a huge fish tank in front of them, as well as a salted fish within.
Cough, cough, a Kun fish.
At present, one hour had already passed since the two had first met Shen Tian. However, they were still unable to calm down.Kun Xu said, “Prodigy!”
Kun Yu exclaimed, “Heavenly immortal!”
Kun Ming inside the fish tank, “…”
After a long while, Kun Ming finally could not endure his father and sister’s strange facial expressions.
His mouth twitched. “Father, sister, how was the negotiation with that bastard? Is he unwilling to return the Kun Peng Dao?”
Kun Xu’s face darkened. “What do you mean ‘that bastard’? So impolite, he’s the Divine Firmament Saint!”
Kun Yu glared at Kun Ming and inwardly said, He’s your future brother-in-law!Kun Xu looked toward the pitiful Kun Ming in the fish tank. His last bit of pity toward his son instantly turned into envy.
He scoffed, “I met the Divine Firmament Saint today. Υou should really learn from him, especially his tolerance.
“Υou are arrogant and act tyrannically with just that bit of talent. You even think of fighting with others just because of some jealousy.
“You should be thankful that the Divine Firmament Saint has extraordinary tolerance, or else just by the few times of conflict with him, he would have cut you into sashimi long ago.”
Kun Ming felt aggrieved. “Father, why are you siding with him? He’s just a Golden Body practitioner. Had I not suffered a Qi Deviation, I would be able to defeat him easily!”
Kun Yu sneered as she looked at Kun Ming like she was looking at a fool. “My idiotic brother, you’re absolutely ignorant when it comes to Shen Tian’s strength.”
Her eyes were filled with admiration and shone brightly like the stars in the sky. “He’s a true peerless prodigy. Your talent is insignificant as compared to his.”
Kun Ming, “???”
Sister, didn’t you say two hours ago that you’d seek justice for me by beating him up?
Why have you changed sides so quickly and talking about him as if you’re in your estrus period?
No one knew a man better than their own father. After seeing Kun Ming’s expression, Kun Xu knew that Kun Ming was definitely up to no good.
To prevent him from having a screw loose, Kun Xu decided to sound the alarm bell for him.
Kun Xu walked to the huge fish tank and gently knocked on the fish tank.
Gong!
The powerful sound waves directly caused the liquid in the tank to churn, and Kun Ming started to spin crazily.
Only after a while did he stop twirling.
Seeing how Kun Ming’s face was filled with resentment, the Kun King said coldly, “It’s to shake you up and clear your head. Oh, by the way, Shen Tian is even stronger than your sister.”
What!?
Upon hearing his father’s words, Kun Ming was completely astounded.
Kun Ming knew his sister’s strength as Kun Yu had been beating him up since young.
Even Kun Ming’s initial motivation for working hard to cultivate was to one day be stronger than his sister so he would not need to be beaten by her anymore.
However, Kun Ming was also clear that his sister had already broken through to the Mighty Prowess realm.
If she was just a normal Mighty Prowess demon, Kun Ming had the confidence to be on par or even win against her.
However, Kun Yu was also one of the top North Sea prodigies, and her talent was slightly inferior to Kun Ming only.
Before reaching the next stage, it was almost impossible for Kun Ming to be evenly matched with Kun Yu, not to mention winning against her.
If he wanted to win against her, then he would need to at least break through to the Mighty Prowess realm!
Kun Ming gritted his teeth. “Damn it! Just what treasures did he obtain in Chaotic Star Island that he could actually break through to the Mighty Prowess realm in just a few months?”
Kun Xu put his hand to his forehead and looked at Kun Ming as if he was looking at an idiot. “His cultivation level is still at the Golden Body realm.”
Golden Body?
Kun Ming was stunned. His first thought was that it was impossible.
He murmured, “Impossible, how could a Golden Body practitioner win against a Mighty Prowess demon?”
It was challenging his common sense as no matter how talented a Perfected One was, it was impossible to match up to a Heavenly Venerable.
This was the common sense recognized by the five regions. Even a cultivator who could win against another cultivator that was a whole cultivation level above was a peerless prodigy, one of the top prodigies at that.
Then what about a cultivator that could win against another that was two cultivation levels above?
Monster, maniac?
He looked at Kun Xu in doubt. “Father, why are you deceiving me? Are you really my father?
“No, this must be an illusion. Someone has barged into the Abyss of Despair and is using illusory arts against me. Do you think I’ll be deceived?
“I advise you to immediately dispel the illusion, or else when my father and sister arrive, you won’t be able to leave even if you’re a Sage!”
Kun Xu, “…”
Kun Yu’s mouth twitched.
He’s gone crazy.
Well, it’s normal for him to be irritated after such a bombshell was dropped on him after he suffered from Qi Deviation. His condition has been unstable since transforming into a Kun fish is a transformation from the core. Thus, his soul and physical body will consume a large amount of essence.’
…
Kun Yu felt resigned as he looked at Kun Xu. “Father, how about you have another child?”
The Kun King’s mouth twitched.
She definitely thinks that she won’t be able to beat Kun Ming up again as he’s about to break through to the Mighty Prowess realm.
You still want me to have another brother for you to bully again?
Although Kun Xu was even more disappointed in his son after comparing him with the Divine Firmament Saint, in the end, Kun Ming was still his son.
He felt resigned as he said, “You good-for-nothing, is it really that difficult to acknowledge that there’s someone else better than you? You’re just like a frog in a well!
“Shen Tian has already returned the complete Kun Peng Dao to us. We are greatly indebted to him.
“If you trouble him again, wait and see how I deal with you!”
After finishing, Kun Xu narrowed his eyes, and a blue light shot into the area between Kun Ming’s brows.
Instantly, Kun Ming felt as if countless mysterious techniques appeared within his mind—that was the Kun Peng divine beast’s core mysterious art.
If it was said that Kun arts belonged to Yang. Lone Yin did not lead to birth, and solitary Yang did not allow growth. Then the complete Kun Peng Dao merged the Kun Dao and Peng Dao together.
Originally, Kun Ming had only grasped the Kun Peng Dao’s superficial knowledge and failed in forcibly transforming into a Peng. He knew the outline of the Kun Peng Dao.
Thus, he could accurately judge that the Kun Peng Dao in his mind was definitely the real one.
If he cultivated according to this formulation, then he would be able to transform into a Peng in the future!
So, this is not f*cking illusion!?
After roughly understanding and tidying up the Kun Peng Dao, Kun Ming finally calmed himself down and looked toward Kun Xu and Kun Yu.
However, he became anxious again after recalling what the two of them had said.
Golden Body winning against Mighty Prowess? That can’t be true!
However, now that he obtained the complete Kun Peng Dao, the originally chaotic divine power within him was gradually turning peaceful, and he was also slowly calming down.
Hmm?
Actually, after obtaining the Kun Peng Dao, Kun Ming suddenly felt as if his whole body was relaxed and that he had broken free from some shackles. It was instantly easy to use his divine power.
Although he still suffered a huge setback, he became more resilient than before. At least, he would not flip under pressure anymore.
…
Seeing that Kun Ming calmed down, Kun Xu nodded. “This time, the Divine Firmament Saint even gifted me an Enlightenment tea leaf when returning us the Kun Peng Dao. Its value is priceless.”
While looking at his son and daughter, Kun Xu said, “After I brew this Enlightenment tea leaf, the both of you should also drink a cup as this would be of great help to comprehending the Kun Peng Dao.”
Kun Ming pursed his lips. “Who cares about that bastard’s tea leaf! I can understand the Kun Peng Dao myself!”
Kun Xu’s expression gradually darkened.
He’s getting more and more out of control!
Then as if he had thought of something, Kun Xu said, “Very well, then forget about your cup of tea.”
As he spoke, Kun Xu took out a supreme-grade tea set and placed it in front of Kun Yu. He then started cleansing them with the supreme-grade spirit springwater cherished by the Kun race.
After using spirit flames to boil and clean the tea set, the whole tea set was emitting a faint fragrance of tea. That was the scent left behind by the spirit tea, which was brewed in the past.
The sound of Dao could be vaguely heard. It was surrounded by mysterious laws and extraordinarily profound.
Kun Ming pursed his lips.
Isn’t it just enlightenment tea!
That damned Shen Tian bewitched Pianxian and stole my love. Don’t think that I’ll bear a debt of gratitude for you after returning the Kun Peng Dao.
I’ll defeat you in a fair and just manner sooner or later, so everyone knows how weak you are!
That’s right, Kun Ming did not believe that Shen Tian could defeat Kun Yu even until now.
From his perspective, his sister was obsessed with handsome guys and purposely lost because she saw that Shen Tian was handsome.
As long as I try my best to comprehend the complete Kun Peng Dao, I’ll definitely be able to reach the Kun Peng Paragons’ height in the future and defeat Shen Tian!
By then, Pianxian will also realize that she’s mistaken and return to my arms.
Therefore, now, I definitely cannot let Shen Tian’s tea blind my eyes.
At least, it could be said that the Kun race had used the Triple Light Divine Water to exchange for the Kun Peng Dao.
But if I drank Shen Tian’s enlightenment tea, then how could I challenge him in the future?
Hmph, I’m definitely not drinking!
I am the firm and unyielding Great Void Kun, how could I lose face for just a single tea leaf?
Just when Kun Ming made up his mind not to drink this enlightenment tea and concentrated on comprehending the complete Kun Peng Dao, Kun Xu finally took out the tea leaf.
…
Before even opening the white jade bottle, that mysterious Dao sound could already be heard resounding in the air.
That Dao sound was so profound and ethereal that one could not even begin to comprehend it. It contained a special charm.
The instant the sound of Dao echoed, Kun Xu and Kun Yu could clearly sense the Kun Peng Dao’s divine power within them becoming active.
Kun Ming, who was inside the fish tank, seemed to be immersed in comprehending the Kun Peng Dao with his eyes closed, but his mouth twitched unconsciously.
Kun Xu smiled as he took the Enlightenment tea leaf that was shining with silver light out of the white jade bottle. That ethereal sound of Dao became much clearer.
The tea leaf floated in the air without wind, as if it was a miniature Kun Peng, floating up and down in the Spirit Qi.
The scent of tea instantly filled the whole palace.
Kun Xu made hand seals one after another, and they entered the Enlightenment tea leaf.
The fragrance of the Enlightenment tea was completely stimulated, and a dense white mist surrounded the whole palace.
It was as if Kun Xu and Kun Yu were on drugs within the rich, fragrant tea scents. They became extremely excited and keen, and their aptitude for enlightenment also increased greatly.
“It’s too miraculous!” the Kun King murmured to himself. His voice was low but definitely could be heard by Kun Ming in the fish tank.
His eyes were burning with passion. “This tea leaf is even more extraordinary than I’ve thought. It’s definitely not from a Tree of Enlightenment that is 100,000 years old.
“It’s at least a Tree of Enlightenment that is 300,000 years old, or it might even be 500,000 years old and above!
“Just the value of this tea leaf could be compared to a Sage artifact!
“Just the price of this pot of tea could be compared to a Sage artifact. It’s too extravagant!
“Yu’er, drink a few more cups later.”
Kun Yu revealed a charming smile. “I understand. I’ll definitely try my best to comprehend the Kun Peng dao and improve my bloodline to become a true Kun Peng.”
Kun Xu nodded his head in relief as he brewed the enlightenment tea. “I am relieved that you have such a resolution.”
The scent of tea became more and more fragrant within the palace. Kun Ming, who was circulating divine power within him, slowly stopped, and the sound of gulping down his saliva could be heard.
His originally tightly closed eyes opened, and he stared intently at that boiling tea.
This smell… is really nice!
However, Kun Xu had no intentions of sharing the tea with Kun Ming.
He used spirit spring water to brew the Enlightenment tea leaf, and he slowly separated the Dao from the tea leaf to make the first pot of tea.
After gradually pouring a cup for himself and Kun Yu, Kun Xu smiled and said, “Yu’er, I want to invite the Divine Firmament Saint to become our human partner. What do you think?”
As if having thought of something, Kun Yu blushed. “Father is the king of our race, so why do you have to discuss with me regarding the matter of inviting Brother Shen to become our human partner?”
Kun Xu revealed a smile as if he had seen through everything. “Well, it’s you who will be required to sign the contract with the Divine Firmament Saint!
“Naturally, your wish must be taken into consideration. Of course, if you’re unwilling, I could also pick another lady from our race to sign the contract with the Divine Firmament Saint.”
Since the person he’s going to ride on is you!
…
Kun Yu drank the enlightenment tea bit by bit, and her face turned red as she gulped down the warm tea.
She thought for a moment and said, “The Divine Firmament Saint is the strongest prodigy in Eastern Wilderness and has quite a deep relationship with the Dragon race. If just any woman from our race is chosen to form a contract with him, it may seem as if we do not think highly of him.
“I am the first princess of the race and have enjoyed the honors which it brings. Thus, it is natural that I must assume the responsibility of a princess. Of course, father is the one who decides on the matters regarding the contract.”
In the fish tank, Kun Ming, “???”
What’s happening now?
Why is the Divine Firmament Saint becoming the human partner of our Kun race?
Have you asked for my opinion? Don’t you know that I have a grudge with that bastard, and I’ll definitely beat him up in the future?
That scoundrel Shen Tian, not only did he snatch my Pianxian, but he even dares to lay his hands on my sister! Is it possible that he’s going to beat me up with my sister in the future?
Damn it. You’re going too far, going too far!
Kun Ming opened his eyes and shouted in the fish tank, “I object! I veto that bastard becoming the human partner of our race!”
The Kun King glanced at his dumb son and just continued drinking his enlightenment tea. “It’s not like Saint Shen Tian is going to contract with you. What qualifications do you, a good-for-nothing, have to object?”
After drinking the enlightenment tea, the Kun King was glowing with bright silver light. His eyes were as deep and profound as the ocean.
He exclaimed, “Good tea, this tea is indeed good! If I enter seclusion for a few days after drinking this tea, I can definitely gain a deeper understanding of the Kun Peng Dao. I’ll finally improve my cultivation level!”
Kun Yu said, “Father, our race is on bad terms with the Dragon race. What if the Divine Firmament Saint refuses to sign the contract with me because of Black Dragon Island?”
The Kun King was slightly stunned, and then his expression darkened.
That’s right!
What if the Divine Firmament Saint rejects?
If it’s others, it’s already a stroke of luck for them to be our human partner.
However, the Kun King would not forget the fact that Shen Tian was a true Son of Providence. He was just like the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao.
There seems to be no difference for him even if he does not become the human partner of the Kun race.
This coattail is not that easy to be ridden!
Sigh… Even this tea I’m drinking seems to have lost its taste!
…
After a long while, the Kun King clapped his hands. “That’s right, let the Divine Firmament Saint comprehend the forbidden tablet!”
Comprehend the forbidden tablet?
Kun Yu seemed to be very worried. “Father, are you serious?”
The so-called forbidden tablet referred to a bronze tablet that the Kun race’s ancestors had retrieved from the Abyss of Despair. Mysterious Dao markings were carved on it.
Those Dao markings were extremely profound and unpredictable, containing the knowledge of the great Dao. Even Sage cultivators coveted it.
Rumors said that the Great Void Kun race’s ancestors’ cultivation levels had increased greatly after they understood this bronze tablet.
Thus, they had ruled over North Sea, and the Great Void Kun race had been formed.
Therefore, this tablet had been named as the origin tablet of the Great Void Kun race and had extraordinary status. Those who were not the core prodigies of the race would not get close to it.
Even the Great Sage Kun Peng had once taken the risk to dive 40,000,000 feet deep into the Abyss of Despair in the hope of finding a treasure like this tablet.
It was a pity he had not had that luck and died.
Then why did the Kun race call such a miraculous tablet the forbidden tablet?
The reason was simple—besides the first generation of ancestors, other prodigies of the Kun race did not have a good end after comprehending this tablet.
There were some that sat in front of the tablet for thousands of decades, reaching the end of their lifespan but still unable to awaken.
There were some that were forcibly pulled away from the tablet, but they suffered from Qi Deviation and exploded.
There were some that seemed to have successfully grasped a certain miraculous technique but then were absorbed by the tablet.
That’s right, absorbed by the tablet.
Those prodigies were smiling when they were being absorbed as if it was an honor for them to merge with the tablet.
Such a strange ending naturally sent shivers down the back of countless people of the Kun race.
Thus, with the lapse of time, no one dared to comprehend this forbidden tablet anymore, and few even talked about it.
…
The Kun King had a passionate look in his eyes.
“As everyone knows, without extraordinary talent or providence, it’s simply looking for death trying to comprehend this tablet! However, does Shen Tian not have them?” The Kun King was determined as he said, “If even Shen Tian is unable to comprehend the tablet, then no one else will be able to.”
It’s a pity that our ancestors did not leave behind the complete heritage after successfully comprehending the tablet as “the method was too dangerous”.
If not, we could directly teach it to Shen Tian, so he wouldn’t need to take such a risk.
“I’ll tell this to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Divine Firmament Saint first and inform them of the pros and cons clearly!”
After thinking for a moment, the Kun King felt that he should be more cautious since there could be no benefits. However, he definitely could not become the scapegoat if something went wrong.
As the Kun King and Kun Yu drank the enlightenment teacup after cup, that pot of tea was almost finished.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Kun Ming was getting anxious.
He had just obtained the Kun Peng Dao, so the enlightenment tea’s temptation was indescribable.
He originally thought that his father was only pretending not to give him. They were father and son, so no matter what, his father would give him a cup.
He never expected his father to be this heartless and not even leave a cup for him.
Is it possible that I am his adopted son?
Upon seeing that even the last bit of enlightenment tea was poured out of the teapot, Kun Ming could not resist anymore.
…
He opened his eyes and stared at Kun Xu and Kun Yu anxiously.
“Erm, father, sister… This tea smells quite nice! Could-could you give me a cup?”
