Chapter 1052: First Arrival (The Border) After they waited for some time, Yuan Tianling landed in front of them and opened her eyes. Tian Yan immediately emerged from her body, stood in front of Yan Huo, and looked at him with a complicated gaze. "Old Yan." "Haha." Yan Huo laughed and patted Tian Yan’s head with his transparent hand. "Little Yan, you’re quite old now, and you’ve found your master. Moreover, she has such a strong husband, and there are many others by their side, so I’m sure you won’t feel lonely. I died because of the Sky Flame, but it was my fault, not yours. You should stop blaming yourself, and you should look forward to a new future together with them." "Old Yan." Tian Yan called out softly as he tried to hug Yan Huo, but he actually passed through his body. "Back then, Tian Kongquan and I discovered the Sky Flame by chance, and everything happened quickly. Although I died at the time, we managed to bring you to this realm, and we named you Tian Yan based on our surnames. Even though we’re dead now, our hope will live on with you." Yan Huo sighed softly after saying that and turned to face Tian Yan. "Little Yan, it’s time for me to go, and I will leave with peace of mind. Moreover, my old friend already said that we will meet again in the future, and I have always believed in his abilities because he paid for it with his lifespan; thus, you don’t need to be sad, especially since we will meet someday. For now, you will stay with them, and you must help your master to become stronger. Do you understand?" "I understand, Old Yan." Tian Yan replied in a sorrowful tone. "Tian Yuanling, please take care of him for me." Yuan Tianling wiped her tears and answered him. "Elder Yan, I promise you I will always look after Tian Yan." "Yeah." Yan Huo patted Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "I won’t say anything about the matter between you and the Tian Clan, especially since my old friend has already spoken to you personally. I hope you can end things amicably, and I hope to witness you standing at the top of the cultivation world someday in the future." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at him. "I don’t know when we’ll meet again, but you’ll definitely hear my name from all corners of the cultivation world in the future." "Hahaha." Yan Huo laughed heartily at that, and his body quickly disappeared from their sight. "Take good care of yourselves, and let’s meet again in the future." Tian Yan fell to his knees after Yan Huo disappeared, but he could not shed a single tear even though his feelings were filled with deep sadness and sorrow. Huo Diqiu embraced him from behind, struggling to find words to console his grieving brother. Yan Huo’s departure was not only felt by them, but people who knew him, such as Tian Jingxuan, could also feel his departure. Zhang Xiaolong [3] walked beside them and patted Tian Yan’s head. "It’s okay to be sad, but I hope you don’t wallow in sadness. The past cannot be changed, and the future is still long ahead. He has promised that you two will meet again in the future, so you have to believe in his promise." "Yeah, you’re right." Tian Yan immediately stood up. "I can’t continue to be sad, and I believe in Old Yan’s promise to meet again in the future." "That’s good." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then opened the gate to the Sky Jade Realm. "Yuanling, we should go to that realm, and we will hold our wedding there." "Huh?" Yuan Tianling blinked her eyes repeatedly as she was shocked by that. "Are we really getting married today? Why didn’t you ever discuss this with me before?" "You slept here for so long, remember?" Yuan Tianling stuck out her tongue toward Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "While you were sleeping, I discussed the matter with your parents, and they agreed with my plan. Not only the two of us will be getting married today, but all my clones and I will also be marrying all our women." "Hahaha!" Yuan Tianling laughed bitterly at that. "What can I expect from a man with many clones and partners like you? Even though I want to get married in a glamorous way, I know it will only waste time and resources, so be it. Please return, Tian Yan." "Yes, Master." After Tian Yan entered her body again, Yuan Tianling immediately entered the gate, followed by Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Huo Diqiu. . . . Since Zhang Fei’s women were too numerous, Shen Xueyi and Liu Qingyu deliberately held their wedding at the Yin-Yang Pavilion. The Shen Clan members closed off all areas of the sect and forbade disciples from approaching their main area, especially since so many powerful cultivators were present, even if they were only close relatives. As soon as they arrived, Ren Ziwei and several women immediately helped Yuan Tianling dress up. Unlike usual weddings, they didn’t wait for the auspicious time or anything else, and they also didn’t wear actual wedding dresses; instead, they simply wore their best clothes and minimal makeup. Even so, the entire Yin-Yang Pavilion was still decorated with various wedding decorations, and many tables were neatly arranged there, with Zhu Yan leading many people in preparing the dishes for their wedding banquet. The sound of singing and playing musical instruments also continued to be heard from the main area, leaving the disciples of the sect wondering for themselves. Once everyone was ready, Zhang Chen, Qing Yi, and all the family members of Zhang Fei’s women sat side by side on the chairs arranged in front. They didn’t get married at the same time, but their wedding ceremony began with Zhang Fei and his main harem members, who had never been married to him. Despite their large number, their ceremony didn’t last for too long, and the members of his main harem grew even larger after their wedding ceremony was over. After that, the event continued with Zhang Fei [1], who married all of his partners, such as Yan Lu’er and the others. Once they finished, the event continued with Zhang Xiaolong [3] and his partners, but Feltia [2]’s partners joined them, especially since he was on his way to the Paradise Realm. Zhang Fei [4] also married Ilsath, Orith, and Zilvora, even though the three women did not actually want him. Among Zhang Fei’s five clones, his fifth only had one partner, Yan Jinwu, the golden crow. Yan Jinwu was the only female mythical beast who did not become part of his main harem, especially since she preferred to be Zhang Fei [5]’s partner. After everything was finished, they immediately enjoyed the dishes that had been prepared on the table, and they gathered together until nightfall. Afterward, Zhang Fei sent them all back to the training space except for Zhang Xiaolong [3], who returned to the Life Pond in the Sovereign Heaven Realm. All of his acquaintances chose to rest in their respective rooms to prepare themselves before starting their training tomorrow, except for Tang Ying, who immediately continued her training using the gravity feature, especially since she was lagging far behind her junior brother and the others. Zhang Fei didn’t return there immediately; instead, he went to the Shandian Realm to meet Feng Xishui, who had been staying there for quite some time. He asked the male phoenix to visit the other planet in the upper realms, but he didn’t let him go alone, and he asked several people from the demon fox group to accompany him. . . . Since all of Zhang Fei’s clones were already used to cultivating with their respective partners, their first night had no significant meaning for them. They immediately began their usual activities, but all of his clones were more focused on helping their partners. Unlike his clones, Zhang Fei’s marriages with some of his women were significant for many of them, especially since they were still virgins. The women who had frequently cultivated with Zhang Fei did not join them in the main bedroom, allowing all his new wives to enjoy their first night with their husband. "So, who do you want to do it first?" Yuan Tianling asked. "No one." Zhang Fei’s answer confused all of them. "We will spend our first night after my second clone arrives in the Paradise Realm, and you must also transform the Divine Qi in your body into the Celestial Qi first, especially since the difference between the two is significant." "How much will it improve, husband?" Xian Changyue asked. "Hmm?" Zhang Fei rubbed his chin. "Simply put, if the Divine Qi is one, then the Celestial Qi is one hundred." "What?" All of them exclaimed in shock. "Is the difference really that high?" "All my prisoners have converted their Divine Qi into Celestial Qi, and the amount of their Yin Qi has increased by that much." All of them were completely shocked after hearing all of this from Zhang Fei. "You guys should have known long ago that I’ve never considered any of you as tools, and I truly love you all from the bottom of my heart. However, I feel it would be a shame if we had our wedding night today, especially since your virgin Yin Qi would be wasted. Additionally, my second clone will arrive there in about a month and a half, so I hope you guys are willing to patiently wait for that day, and I will satisfy you all at that time." "I have no problem with that, and I’ll work on my body cultivation technique while waiting for the day to come. This way, my physique will be stronger, and I won’t get tired so quickly on our first night." Wang Yourou decided immediately. "What about you all, sisters?" Murong Mengying nodded in agreement with her. "I am also not in a rush for our wedding night, so I will wait. Moreover, our cultivation will also increase faster if he’s stronger than he is now, and our virgin yin qi will be of great help to him in that regard." Shang Xinyu, Shang Yaolin, Shang Yumei, and the other virgin women also agreed with Zhang Fei’s decision. A month and a half wasn’t a long time for cultivators like them, and it would pass so quickly without them realizing it. "Even though we won’t be having our first night today, we will still do our usual things. I will focus on helping you all, just like what all my clones do with their partners." Zhang Fei then asked all the women to return to the main bedroom. "We don’t have time to relax, so we’ll start now, and we don’t need to worry about the outside world." "Yes." Since she had become Zhang Fei’s wife, Tantai Lingyan didn’t leave the bedroom and join them. . . . "Why are you so gloomy? Didn’t you agree long ago for Aunt Lingyan to marry our junior brother?" Jing Qiuyue decided to leave the pavilion and accompany Yan Yinqing. Yan Yinqing sighed heavily. "I’m gloomy, not because I disagree with their marriage, Senior Sister. I’m just annoyed that they kept it from me for so long, and they only told me today, so I couldn’t tease my mother!" "What a ridiculous reason!" Jing Qiuyue shouted at her. "Instead of teasing your mother, you should think about yourself. If you continue like this, you will eventually turn into a lily!" Yan Yinqing folded her forehead. "Hey, senior sister, you are still single too, okay?" "Tch!" Jing Qiuyue immediately refuted her. "I’m single, but I’m different from you, and I wholeheartedly love Qiao Liangren. On the contrary, you have never had any interest in men, so I doubt that you are a normal woman." Hearing that, Yan Yinqing immediately pounced on the unprepared Jing Qiuyue and kissed her on the lips, causing her eyes to widen in shock. Before Jing Qiuyue could beat her, Yan Yinqing had already fled their room. "Hahaha! Senior Sister, you’ve become a lily, and your first kiss is already mine!" "Tch!" Jing Qiuyue wiped her lips and chased after Yan Yinqing, causing the people in the portable mansion to feel disturbed by their behavior. Hun Di immediately intervened to stop his two disciples from causing trouble, and he threatened to punish the two severely, forcing Yan Yinqing and Jing Qiuyue to stop and return to their room. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢 . . . Meanwhile, in the Sovereign Heaven Realm, Tian Jingxuan, Qing Huang, and Shi Yan were frustrated because their plans for the past three weeks had always failed. They had tried to attack the Ning and Yin Clans several times, but Tian Kui and Serpentera always stopped them. They considered attacking the clans affiliated with Zhang Fei, but Gu Changsheng, Cao Yunbai, and Sima Huiqing continued to protect those clans. Even if the three of them didn’t protect them, Serpentera and Tian Kui would surely protect them. Although their efforts continued to face a dead end, the three old men never considered giving up. Tian Jingxuan even met Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing in person, and he managed to convince them to join him. However, the two foxes couldn’t do anything yet, especially since they hadn’t managed to complete their Dao test, despite their great efforts to complete it. Serpentera and Tian Kui naturally informed Zhang Xiaolong [3], who was cultivating in the Life Pond, of all that. However, he had not thought about facing them yet, and he was fully focused on preparing himself to face the situation in the Paradise Realm in the future. . . . After several months of traveling, they finally reached the end of the tunnel path, and Feltia [2] immediately flew the flying artifact out of it. However, they found it strange that they didn’t feel any gravitational pressure, especially since the gravity in the Paradise Realm was supposed to be much heavier than in the Three Mortal Realms. Moreover, the system had not given any reaction, which confused Feltia [2]. The two of them stood at the side of the flying artifact, and they saw many tunnel paths opening up below them, followed by many flying artifacts flying out from within them. "Are they also people from the Three Mortal Realms like us?" "I think so, Old Han." Feltia [2] noticed those people floating away from their flying artifacts and storing them, so he and Han Ling also did the same. After Feltia [2] stored the flying artifact, they immediately landed in a slightly open area. The two of them ignored those people because they didn’t bother with the two of them either, and they were more interested in passing through those large gates. "Are you going back there now?" Han Ling asked as he looked at the crowd. "At first, I intended to go straight back there, but I changed my mind, and I will accompany you to the Empyrean Domain first." Feltia [2] suddenly raised his eyebrows when he saw a familiar figure walking out of one of the gates. "Feng Yao?" Feng Yao immediately moved in front of them and looked at Feltia [2] with a playful smile. "You didn’t disappoint me, but your level isn’t yet high enough to survive in the Paradise Realm." "I know." Feltia [2] then asked her. "How did you know I would arrive here today? Isn’t this place part of the Paradise Realm? I can sense the Celestial Qi here, but I feel like there’s something strange about it." "Haha." Feng Yao laughed before pressing her index finger into Feltia [2]’s chest, and a small fire came out of his body. "I have long left a wisp of my flame in your body, but you never noticed it. This flame enabled me to keep track of you, even though I was staying in this realm. For your second question, this place is the border between the Three Mortal Realms and the Paradise Realm, so the Qi here is indeed the Celestial Qi. Once you pass through one of those gates, you will arrive at one of the domains there." Feltia [2]’s lips twitched as he looked at the flame in Feng Yao’s hands, but she quickly returned it to his body. "I give up! I will never be able to win against you! Should I call you Feng Yao, Huo Yanling, or Shen Yuanzhi?" - To Be Continued -
