Zhang Yang was completely dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, shocked that it had finally developed consciousness.
But what had this fellow called him?
Dad?
Only after a long while did Zhang Yang come back to his senses and ask, "You think of me as your father?"
The Heavenly Thunder Bamboo's consciousness spoke again: "You were the one who brought me into being and helped me grow, so you must be my dad!
Around Bright Yang Mountain, I saw countless living beings and discovered that only parents would help them like this.
And since you don't have the 'shape' of a mother, you must be 'dad'!"
Zhang Yang did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He had indeed used Cloud Essence to enlighten the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, which had been the main reason its consciousness was born. Afterward, he had given it a thunder treasure, gathered countless thunder materials to nurture it, and now had even brought it the Dao Fruit of the Thunder Immortal King...
Looking at this whole chain of events, it did not seem wrong for the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to call him Dad!
He even felt a little secretly pleased. My painstaking efforts in raising you weren't wasted after all...
"How are things with you now?" Zhang Yang asked. "You just absorbed an Immortal King Dao Fruit. Can you still remain in this world? If not, I can send you to the God Realm, or the Immortal Realm?"
"What is an Immortal King Dao Fruit? Those powers from just now?" the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo asked. "I don't feel anything unusual. This place is quite nice, so I won't leave for now."
Zhang Yang was somewhat puzzled. It had absorbed an Immortal King Dao Fruit, yet nothing had happened?
Could it be that
