Dong Su Zhu

* Manhua 1
* Manhua 2

Dong Su Zhu is the mother of Yang Kai and Yang Xue, as well as the wife of Yang Ying Feng. She is the Fourth Madam of the Yang Family, and she was born into the Dong Family. Dong Su Zhu is a very doting mother who is always sad to see Yang Kai go for long periods of time, and is always eventually forgiving of him upon his return.

## Personality

Dong Su Zhu has a doting and motherly personality that she never seems to lose. She hates but understands when Yang Kai has to leave for long periods of time, but often takes a little while to stop pouting upon his return. While she is usually seen as kind and welcoming, it's been noted that many of the notable and contrasting features of Yang Kai's temperament, including his beneficent treatment of family and friends versus his ruthless treatment of his enemies, largely stem from her parenting.

## Appearance

Dong Su Zhu said to have an extremely youthful and lively appearance like a beautiful 28 year old woman, and, due to the advancement of her cultivation she still maintains much of this image. In fact, as she progresses in cultivation she seems to get even younger.

## Background

As the parents of Yang Kai, Yang Ying Feng and Dong Su Zhu get extraordinarily excellent treatment whenever they follow Yang Kai to a new world. This includes the best cultivation resources and increasingly rich cultivation environments. Because of this, they live a relatively sheltered life and practically never involved in battle unlike their children.

## Past

Yang Ying Feng retired from active duties due to injuries he received from Yang Bai as a fellow disciple. Yang Kai’s parents were distraught when Yang Kai was born with a genetic defect that prevented him from cultivating but were denied access to the Yang Family’s Dragon Transformation Pond to try to heal him. Therefor, they sent him to High Heaven Pavilion where he could be looked over by Ling Tai Xu, Yang Ying Feng’s Honored Master.

## History

### Inheritance War

Yang Kai’s parents are first seen running to him frantically upon his departure from the Yang Family Dragon Transformation Pond in preparation for the Inheritance War. Yang Ying Feng is stout and Dong Su Zhu is in tears. They initially want to convince Yang Kai not to participate in the war but then are shocked when Yang Kai shows a massive improvement in his cultivation. Eventually Yang Kai gives his father some Myriad Drug Liquid to heal his past injury and allow him to start cultivating again. Dong Su Zhu can’t help but worry about her son.

Eventually, during the war, Yang Kai’s parents are able to meet Su Yan and immediately take a liking to her. They are shocked to learn that Yang Kai also has another woman in Xia Ning Chang. Yang Kai’s parents are later seen during Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land’s invasion of the Capital City at the time when Yang Kai had his mansion moved into the City and the Yang Family pleaded for him to become Patriarch. Yang Ying Feng wanted Yang Kai to fulfill his fielty to his family, even though the Yang Family had earlier betrayed him. Yang Kai would only temporarily accept the position before going on to defeat Yang Bai before disappearing at the end of the inheritance war.

### Tong Xuan Realm

Upon Yang Kai‘s return from disappearing, he tells his parents and everyone else that he is going to a higher world. Dong Su Zhu is reasonably worried but knows that she and her husband can not hold back their son. A few years later, the Central Capital comes under the assault of the Free And Unfettered Spirit Temple of Tong Xuan Realm. Helpless against these opponents, the residents of the Small World are shockingly rescued by Yang Kai, who has the Spirit Temple’s Temple Master’s head thrown on the ground to demonstrate his dominant position.

Yang Kai’s parents then follow along heavily guarded as they eventually arrive at Nine Heavens Holy Land. Yang Kai would settle his parents and friends outside the main Holy Land and actually place them in the former area of Battle Soul Palace which Yang Kai earlier destroyed. Here, his parents have access to a rich cultivation environment as well as the safety of the Holy Land’s protection.

### High Heaven Sect

Around 30 years later, Yang Kai would return to Tong Xuan Realm after establishing High Heaven Sect as the top sect of Shadowed Star. Yang Kai’s parents would again follow Yang Kai in his Sealed World Bead until he eventually ends up on Shadowed Star. Yang Kai’s parents would live a life of luxury here along with the rest of Yang Kai’s friends and family. Their daughters-in-law also often pay them respect. By the time Yang Kai is about to leave for Star Boundary, Yang Ying Feng and Dong Su Zhu gain Shan Qing Luo and Xue Yue as daughters-in-law.

### High Heaven Palace

More than 20 years laters, Yang Kai, a 1st Order Emperor, returns from Star Boundary to the Heng Luo Star Field. He sees his parents briefly in High Heaven Sect before going on to completely annihilate the invading forces of Grand Desolation Star Field and becoming the Star Field Master. During this time, Dong Su Zhu, by Yang Ying Feng, became pregnant and gave birth to Yang Xue, Yang Kai’s new younger sister. Yang Kai is overjoyed to have a new younger sister and, after spoiling her for awhile, eventually takes his friends and family as well as many others from the Star Field back with him to High Heaven Palace.

In High Heaven Palace, Yang Kai’s parents live a life of luxury on their own Spirit Peak with Yang Xue. They receive the best cultivation resources and are treated as royalty by the vast amount of members of the sect. Here, Dong Su Zhu manages to reach the 1st Order Dao Source Realm. One day, a chubby little boy arrives at their Spirit Peak with Liu Yan. Yang Kai’s parents are shocked to learn that this little boy is their adoptive grandson, Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao then lives with them and Yang Xue for awhile before Liu Yan and Qiong Qi take them to Four Seasons Realm in order to inherit the legacy of the Flowing Time Great Emperor. Yang Kai’s parents are reasonably concerned about this, but have no choice but to trust Yang Kai’s assurance that they are in good hands. Yang Kai’s parents are then kept sheltered from the Demon War.

### Star Boundary World Tree

After the Demon War, Star Boundary is devastated and dying. 50 years after the war, Yang Kai leaves for the Outer Universe in order to acquire a World Tree. Many years later, when Yang Kai, as the Void Great Emperor, returns with the World Tree Subtree, he is surprised to find that his parents are both 1st Order Emperor Realm cultivators. Though his father’s foundation is injured, Yang Kai again helps him to heal. When Yang Kai suggests taking them to Void Land, his parents decline and say that they will remain behind in High Heaven Palace now that Star Boundary is saved as they have had enough adventures. Yang Ying Feng also postulates that Star Boundary with the World Tree Subtree may even confer them more benefits than going to Void Land.

When Yang Kai again returns to protect Star Boundary from Zuo Quan Hui, he finds that Star Boundary’s great changes have allowed his parents and Hua Qing Si to condense Dao Seals. Not only this, but Star Boundary’s changes have miraculously given them the potential to achieve the 4th Rank Open Heaven Realm. However, Yang Kai determines that, with a Heavenly Yuan Seal Stabilizing Pill, they can push it to 5th Rank.

Later, when Yang Kai again visits Star Boundary, now the Open Heaven-filled primary focus of the 3000 Worlds, he finds that both his parents have successfully promoted to 5th Rank Open Heaven Realm. They are then happy to take care of Zhao Ya and Zhao Ye Bai, and treat them as their grandchildren. For the next many years/centuries, they remain in High Heaven Palace as Yang Kai leaves to fight on Black Ink Battlefield.
