Chapter 317 A Strong-Willed Young Man! A Doting Father
As agreed, Zhou Ze flew directly towards the city lord's mansion and passed through layers of guards to reach the inner palace.
The inner palace is the best place to perform secret techniques, and no one would dare to challenge it here.
Along the wide corridor, Zhou Ze quickly arrived at a plaza paved with chaotic rocks. He immediately saw a bald man in a fiery red battle robe standing in the distance. This man was none other than Venerable Guiyi.
"Zhou Ze, are you here to see the teacher?"
Venerable Guiyi was not present at the time, so he naturally did not know about Zhou Ze's "business dealings".
"No, I need to use the environment of Senior Chaos's inner palace, of course, this is with Senior Chaos's permission!"
Zhou Ze shook his head and said, "Senior Guiyi, could you help me find a secure, sealed room?"
Venerable Guiyi was not only the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, but also the Chaos City Lord's agent, secretary, and assistant. Venerable Guiyi handled most of the Chaos City Lord's affairs.
Many of the arrangements made by the Inner Court were also made with the assistance of Venerable Guiyi.
"OK."
Since Zhou Ze said it was his teacher's arrangement, Venerable Guiyi didn't say anything more, nor did he ask the Lord of Chaos City if it was true. He believed that Zhou Ze wouldn't make things up.
Soon, Zhou Ze was led by Venerable Guiyi to a secret chamber in the inner palace, a place where even a cosmic overlord could not easily explore.
Most of the buildings in Chaos City are identical cultivation dwellings, while some special buildings represent a special status.
For example, above the magnificent palace in front of us, the universal language "Taiqing Venerable" is written!
Inside a training ground within the palace, a man who looked no more than a teenager was closing his eyes to comprehend the laws.
Judging from the fluctuations of the laws emanating from him, he clearly had a deep understanding of the laws of space. However, the young man's brows furrowed from time to time, indicating that he was restless and unable to calm down.
The boy had a mark of the Law of Wood between his eyebrows, clearly indicating that he was a young prodigy recognized by the fundamental Law of Wood!
"Honestly, I'm already at the peak of the Realm Lord level, and Father still won't allow me to go to the outer battlefields for training! How can I grow like this? Without experiencing life-and-death trials, and always living under Father's protection, how can I become a true powerhouse?!"
Qingfeng was quite helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He was just a minor world lord, while his father was a universe venerable. His father was determined not to allow him to go to the outer battlefield, and he really had no way to do anything about it.
Normally, his father doted on him in every way, but when it came to him going to the battlefield outside the region, no matter how much he insisted, his father refused.
He wasn't stupid; he knew his father was worried about him getting into trouble, but with so many ways to protect himself, how could he possibly get into trouble?
Moreover, is it really true that just because you're worried about something going wrong, you shouldn't go out and explore, and should stay by your father's side forever? True strength is never a hothouse flower.
"Sigh—no, I still have to find a chance to sneak out. I don't believe my father will always be watching over me!" Qingfeng was very unhappy.
At this moment, Qingfeng looked up and saw a figure gradually solidify. The solidified figure looked no different from an ordinary person.
"Father, I must become strong! Can you please stop restricting me! If this continues, I will be ruined!" Qingfeng immediately said angrily.
There are few people who can roar at Venerable Taiqing. Apart from his wife, there is only his one and only son. The stronger a cultivator is, the more difficult it is for them to have offspring.
What should be said is that when Venerable Taiqing was young, he was focused on cultivation and had no interest in matters between men and women, which is quite legendary. It wasn't until Venerable Taiqing broke through to the Venerable level that he actually developed "mortal desires" and married an ordinary woman from an indigenous planet. This woman had never even cultivated.
However, Venerable Taiqing was particularly fond of this woman. The two had been together for hundreds of millions of years, treating each other with respect and affection. Generally speaking, the difference in their life levels was too great, and even if the woman later became immortal, it would be almost impossible for her to bear children for a Venerable.
But the woman became pregnant and gave birth to a big, healthy boy, Qingfeng!
Fate is truly wondrous!
After becoming a father, the once aloof and decisive Venerable Taiqing completely changed, becoming someone who doted on his children, afraid they would melt in his mouth or fall from his hands.
Even though Qingfeng's mother repeatedly lost her temper and forbade her son from being spoiled, Venerable Taiqing outwardly agreed but in reality remained unchanged.
This made Qingfeng very depressed. Others feel immense pressure from fatherly love, but his fatherly love suffocated him!
From a young age, Qingfeng not only inherited his mother's strong will and low profile, unlike the arrogant Demon Candle King, the son of the Fire Erosion Venerable, but also inherited his father's talent for cultivation!
With his father's unlimited supply of resources, Qingfeng cultivated to the peak of the Realm Lord in a very short time, and his understanding of the laws of space was comparable to that of a Marquis Immortal!
But as time went by, Qingfeng became increasingly restless, because no matter what he said, he couldn't truly experience a trial.
He knew that once he left his father's side, at least one immortal marquis would secretly follow him, not to mention going to the battlefield outside the domain. He really suspected that his father would personally follow him.
"You heartless brat, how dare you yell at your father like that!" Venerable Taiqing gave Qingfeng a slap on the head in annoyance.
The latter stared intently at Venerable Taiqing.
To be honest, sometimes when a child is too competitive, a father feels both proud and worried.
Venerable Taiqing sighed, "If you want to go, then go. Otherwise, you'll just waste your time lamenting here!"
"It's as if my disagreement with you going to the extraterritorial battlefield is harming you."
Qingfeng, who was still angry, was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise and joy. "Father, you agree to let me go to the extraterritorial battlefield?"
"Well, but before you go there, come with me to the City Lord's Mansion first!" Venerable Taiqing patted his son's head, his face full of a father's doting affection.
:::
"Venerable Taiqing!"
The immortal guards stationed in the inner palace immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing the Cosmic Venerable approach.
Venerable Taiqing coldly replied, "I have come to the inner palace with the city lord's permission—"
After briefly confirming the situation in the virtual universe, the immortal guardian calmly stated, "Your Excellency, according to the rules, only one person is permitted to enter the inner palace!"
Venerable Taiqing frowned: "Alright."
"Qingfeng, go inside. Don't cause trouble. This isn't home. If you make a scene, I can't save you!"
Qingfeng nodded outwardly, but inwardly he was speechless with exasperation: "From childhood to adulthood, who has ever enjoyed causing trouble? How can you spoil your son like this? If it weren't for my strong will, I would have been a complete waste by you long ago—"
An immortal guard looked at Qingfeng beside Venerable Taiqing and respectfully said, "Your Highness, please follow me!"
Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your help—"
