Cheng Long relinquished his divine powers and withdrew from the world of cultivation to ensure the safety of his wife and daughter. However, he was ambushed by an evil deity, resulting in the death of his wife and the disappearance of his daughter. Driven by vengeance, Cheng Long killed the evil deity on the spot. For the next ten years, he lived in obscurity, disguising himself as a chef while secretly searching for his daughter.
Finally, his perseverance paid off when he accidentally found the protective jade pendant he had once given to his daughter while closing up his stall. He rescued her and was recognized by one of his former followers. To protect his daughter, Cheng Long was forced to return to the world of cultivation. There, he discovered who was really behind the ambush and eliminated the remaining threats, eventually rising to become a powerful leader.
His daughter, Cheng Xiaoting, lived up to expectations, inheriting his legacy and becoming the first female Dragon King in history, creating a new legend of her own.
