Invincible Dad-Chapter 779: Great Emperor Qingfeng on Earth_1
The Jiu Feng clan were once the protagonists of the Immortal Domain.
However, with the disappearance of Great Emperor Jiu Feng, their fate became an unsolved mystery in the Immortal Domain, even spawning various conspiracy theories. Who would have thought that the Jiu Feng clan was actually living on a tiny star?
As the Saintess of the clan and a descendant of the Emperor Realm, Bai Fu did not possess the pride in her bloodline that the clan elders or the younger generation felt. On the contrary, she felt it was more of a burden and a set of shackles. Even though the Moon Clan was laughably insignificant in terms of both scale and strength in the eyes of her senior sister, Bai Fu enjoyed being a part of it.
But Bai Fu could never have guessed that after her Dao companion, Ji Jiuyou, became the Moon King, he would gradually change. To rapidly advance his Boundary, he practiced the demonic Nine Infants Technique. The Nine Infants Technique was not a gift from Bai Fu; it had been ’inadvertently’ left behind by her senior sister. It was also unknown how Ji Jiuyou had convinced his closest blood relatives to let him forcibly refine them into puppet avatars.
To love someone is to accept everything about them.
Bai Fu began to live a secluded life, gradually forgetting everything about the Phoenix Nest. She strived to fulfill her role as a Dao companion, managing the affairs of the Moon Clan for Ji Jiuyou and even giving birth to four children. No matter what decisions her Dao companion made, even if they were wrong, she would support him in silence.
After all, he was that single inch of light shining into her darkness. Though faint, it was enough to be etched in her memory for a lifetime.
But with the current war against the Human Race of Earth, she simply could not stand idly by.
Bai Fu spoke softly, "Senior Sister, I already have children. I cannot return to the Phoenix Nest. But there is one thing I must ask you to inform Father about."
The woman in green did not speak, standing on her sword and looking down from above.
"Great Emperor Qingfeng is on Earth, and he has children."
Bai Fu’s gentle voice was like a thunderous clap, striking heavily upon her senior sister’s heart.
Bai He’s pupils contracted. "What did you say!?"
Bai Fu did not repeat herself. Still kneeling before the Sea of the Moon, she raised her head to look at this senior sister, whose status in the clan was comparable to a Supreme Elder of the Jiu Feng clan. For someone of her naturally gentle disposition, her gaze was remarkably calm.
Others might not know of Xu Lai, but Bai Fu, as the daughter of a Great Emperor from the previous epoch, recognized the two formations Ruan Lan had used during the siege. Though she had never seen them in person, she knew what they were.
One was the slaughter-focused Starlight Array. This was created by the sect master of the Star Origin Sect. Her father had sought it for tens of thousands of years to no avail, yet it had appeared on the distant planet Earth.
The second formation was the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation, created by The Supreme Emperor Xu Qingfeng himself!
Although the one who set up the formations had a low Boundary and couldn’t perfectly unleash their power, the formations were not incomplete—they were whole. This meant the caster had either received The Supreme Emperor’s inheritance or had a very close relationship with him; otherwise, they could never have obtained such a great fortune. Adding to that the Qingfeng Sword Intent used by that young boy with the surname Xu...
Bai Fu arrived at a bold conjecture, and she finally understood why her Dao companion’s plans against Earth had failed time and again. It was not that Ji Jiuyou was too weak, but that his enemy was far too strong. How could an ant ever hope to shake a great tree?
When Ji Jiuyou’s cultivation of the Nine Infants Technique failed and he intended to sacrifice their own child, Ji Yu, the ever-silent Bai Fu could no longer sit back and do nothing. She decided to return home for help—at the very least, she had to get her children into the Phoenix Nest to safely weather this calamity.

Bai He’s gaze flickered with uncertainty.
In the previous epoch, she had been the most dazzling prodigy of the Jiu Feng clan. She became a disciple of Great Emperor Jiu Feng and was sealed within the Dao Endowment at the peak of the Immortal Venerable realm, shouldering a monumental mission. Following the ascension of Great Emperor Qingfeng, the Supreme Elder guarding the Phoenix Nest, as well as her senior and junior disciples, all passed away one after another over the course of hundreds of thousands of years.
Bai He awakened thirty thousand years ago. With a single thought, she entered the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Her mission was both simple and difficult: wait for the Epoch of Imperial Fall to arrive, awaken her Master, and guard the Jiu Feng clan. A key tenet of her mission was to avoid antagonizing the reigning emperor of the era.
But what Bai He had never expected was that Great Emperor Qingfeng would appear on Earth! This place was so desolate and barren, so incredibly far from the Four Immortal Domains, so clearly...
Something’s wrong.
Bai He’s brows furrowed slightly. "Could it be that Great Emperor Qingfeng already knew our clan was here? Was the conflict between the Moon and Earth orchestrated by him?"
At this thought, Bai He glared angrily at Bai Fu. "Your unauthorized departure from the Phoenix Nest has attracted the attention of Great Emperor Qingfeng! You could doom our Master’s grand plan and condemn the entire Jiu Feng clan to death!"
"The Moon Clan is actually a collateral branch of the Ji Family from the Nine Kings’ Palace," Bai Fu said, dropping another bombshell.
"The Nine Kings’ Palace!?"
Bai He’s green dress fluttered in the wind, like the coming of spring driving away the harsh winter, yet it couldn’t dispel the coldness on her face.
"Ah Jiu’s ancestor was from a collateral branch, exiled here after failing in a power struggle within the Ji Family," Bai Fu explained.
"Master once spoke of the nine great Royal Clans of the Nine Kings’ Palace and vaguely mentioned the Ji Family’s divine skills for altering fate. That family is adept at scheming. Their presence here must be part of a larger plan." Bai He’s mind raced with deductions, her expression shifting indeterminately.
Bai Fu said calmly, "I do not know if it is true or not, but Ah Jiu is my Dao companion. I must save him, or we will die together."
"You—"
Bai He’s eyes burned with intensity as she stared at Bai Fu. The Saintess was clearly forcing the Jiu Feng clan to choose a side.
She was about to say more when her mind suddenly cleared, and a voice, devoid of any discernible emotion, echoed in her heart.
"Help."
It was just one word.
Bai He was stunned for a moment, then she quickly hopped off her flying sword and bowed deeply in the direction of the Phoenix Nest. Her expression finally softened slightly.
"You all, follow me inside."
Her gaze seemed to drift unintentionally toward the Saintess’s two children, who were still frightened and anxious, and she suddenly fell into deep thought.
There is a collateral branch of the Ji Family from the Nine Kings’ Palace here, and the figure of the current Great Emperor has appeared on the nearby planet Earth.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Master’s choice to have the Phoenix Nest descend upon the Moon was probably no coincidence, but the result of careful deliberation.
If that’s the case, was Master’s decision not to stop the Saintess from leaving the Phoenix Nest back then also part of his calculations?
Bai He dared not think further. She shook her head repeatedly, casting aside the chaotic thoughts and choosing to lead them into the Phoenix Nest.

「Earth. Hua Country’s Dongli University.」
Xu Lai, who had been skipping classes for a long time, appeared in the campus clinic. Even if Doctor Liu Nanwei is away on maternity leave, Zhou Feng should be here, right? he thought.
But not only was Zhou Feng absent, the campus clinic was completely empty. There wasn’t a single doctor on duty. The main door was wide open, allowing a chilly autumn wind to sweep inside. If a few yellow maple leaves were to drift in on that breeze, it would only further accentuate the astonishment on Xu Lai’s face as he stood in the doorway.
Where is everyone? Where did they all go?
"Quick, quick, there’s a dragon!"
"Are the photos on the campus forum real? What on earth is going on?"
"..."
The students’ excited chatter reached Xu Lai’s ears. He frowned slightly and followed the students outside toward the gathering crowd.
The location was the old school sports field. The ground here was relatively high, offering a distant view of the lake by the Dragon Vein of Mount Fu. The natural scenery was stunning. However, the field was practically abandoned; besides young couples taking strolls at night, it was usually deserted.
Today, the desolate and unkempt field was packed with people, all looking toward the Dragon Vein of Mount Fu. Clouds and mist swirled above the mountain, which was a moderate distance from the school. A long, black shadow was constantly diving through the clouds into the lake, only to quickly soar back into the sky.
"It really is a dragon!"
"Hurry, hurry, take a picture for me!"
The excited chatter filled the sports field.
Amid the crowd, Xu Lai saw an equally dumbstruck Zhou Feng, as well as the Xinglin seniors who were usually engrossed in their various medical research. No wonder the campus clinic was empty; they were all here.
Xu Lai tilted his head.
Could it be that the Spiritual Energy awakening has made even the Spirit of the Dragon Vein too restless to cultivate peacefully?
At that moment, the Divine Dragon seemed to sense something and flew straight toward Dongli University
