Chapter 1013: Toward The Paradise Realm
Wei Xiaoya was already standing in front of the mirror in her true form, and she rubbed her face in disbelief, especially since she had become much younger after swallowing the Beauty Restoring Pill. "Where did you get these magical pills?"
"The Star Tower." Wei Xiaoya looked at Zhang Fei [5] through the mirror. "You still don't know much, and that tower comes from the realm beyond the Three Mortal Realms, which is called the Paradise Realm."
"What?" Wei Xiaoya screamed softly as she faced him. "Does the realm beyond really exist? I've heard Uncle Hun talk about it with my parents, and he heard it from Senior Xia Tian, but he himself doesn't have any clear information about it."
Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her. "The Paradise Realm really exists, and the Seven Divine Realms are not the end of cultivation. After we reach the 5-Moon Divine Ascension Realm, we will break through to the Five Celestial Realms. However, we will never be able to break through to that stage as long as we stay here, and we must go to that realm first, especially since we need the Celestial Qi to break through."
"The Five Celestial Realms and the Celestial Qi." Wei Xiaoya muttered in disbelief. "How did you know all that information?"
"The Star Tower." Zhang Fei [5] then explained to her about the tower and his encounter with Wan Jiang and the others. "The Divine Ascension Realm is still far from our reach, but I have found a way to go to the Paradise Realm without having to reach that stage first, and I plan to send one of my clones there."
"Clones?"
Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her. "Actually, I have five clones, and this one is my fifth clone."
"Huh?" Wei Xiaoya was stunned. "How is that possible? Does that mean your true cultivation is much higher than this? As far as I know, our clone would only have half or less of our true strength."
"Hahaha." Zhang Fei [5] laughed in response. "My clones are not a clone technique, but I used my demon abilities to create them, so they are ordinary clones. My current cultivation is my true cultivation, and I managed to reach this stage in three years thanks to my status as a dual cultivator and some other things."
Wei Xiaoya released a soft sigh. "So, where is your real body? How are you going to go to the Paradise Realm without breaking through to the Divine Ascension Realm first?"
"My real body is at the Star Tower with my wife and others, including my master." Zhang Fei [5] then told her about the Jia Yuyan and the Sovereign Heaven Realm. "I plan to send one of my clones to the Paradise Realm today, and he will arrive there in a few months. However, I haven't thought about exploring that realm yet, and I will wait until I am fully prepared. At that time, I will bring them all there, and we will become stronger faster."
"How are you going to bring them there?" Zhang Fei [5] immediately opened a gate to the Earth before bringing Wei Xiaoya there.

"Huh?" Wei Xiaoya looked at the area around them in shock. "Isn't this the Earth? How did we arrive here so quickly?"
Zhang Fei [5] pointed at the gate. "This gate is one of my abilities as a heavenly fox, and it allows me to travel to all the realms I've visited before. I've already confirmed with someone, and that person told me that I can use my gate to connect the Paradise Realm and the Three Mortal Realms, so my clone will go there first, and I'll bring them all there in the future."
"I see." Wei Xiaoya nodded in understanding, but Zhang Fei [5] immediately brought her back to the Grand Royal Realm.
Knock... Knock...
Someone suddenly knocked on the door and informed Wei Xiaoya. "Princess, your mother asked you to bring your fiancé to the dining room, and the others are waiting for you two there."
"We'll be there soon." Wei Xiaoya sighed heavily and returned to her fat form. "Let's go now."
.
.
.
When they arrived at the dining room, Zhang Fei [5] saw a young man and a young woman, and both of them were one and two minor stages stronger than Wei Xiaoya.
Wei Xiaoya told Zhang Fei [5] that the young man was her big brother, Wei Zhutong. Meanwhile, the young woman is her big sister, Wei Xiaolu.
Zhang Fei [5] immediately used his demon eyes to examine the two before raising his eyebrows. 'These two are not good people, especially Wei Xiaolu.'
Wei Zhutong briefly looked at Zhang Fei [5] before continuing his conversation with the Wei Emperor, but Wei Xiaolu, on the other hand, stared at Wei Xiaoya with hatred and envy.
Wei Xiaolu then gave Zhang Fei [5] a flirtatious look and mumbled something under her breath. However, he ignored her and followed Wei Xiaoya before sitting beside her.
Wei Xiaolu was furious because of Zhang Fei [5]'s attitude. 'Tch! What's so good about this ugly bitch? Why does he care more about her than me?'
After they had gathered, Hun Liying ordered the maids to serve the dishes, and they enjoyed them while talking about casual things.
Both Wei Zhutong and Wei Xiaolu were surprised when their mother introduced Zhang Fei [5] as their uncle's disciple, but the Wei prince did not think much of it and enjoyed himself.
Unlike her brother, Wei Xiaolu tried to tease Zhang Fei [5] using her legs, but he avoided her action, which angered her further. She wanted to mock Wei Xiaoya, but she abandoned her intention straight away, especially since their mother loved her so much.
The Wei Emperor and Hun Liying tried to confirm Zhang Fei [5]'s demon identity during their dinner, and he didn't hide it from them. Despite this, they didn't mind it because Hun Di was willing to accept him as his disciple.
Wei Xiaoya was furious once Hun Liying told her that she would marry Zhang Fei [5] in a week, but she could only sigh in resignation and agree to her mother's wishes. However, she continued to blame him in her heart, especially since he was the one who caused their situation to become like that.
After they finished their dinner, Hu Liying asked Zhang Fei [5] to stay at the royal palace, and she asked him to stay with Wei Xiaoya, making her continue to grumble in her heart.
Zhang Fei [5] did not disturb Wei Xiaoya to rest and contacted Feng Xishui, informing him about their wedding plans. After that, he went to meet Leng Xueyan in her dream, where they spent time together.

[Congratulations! Your water element has been upgraded to the intermediate stage.]
[Congratulations! Your water elemental law has been upgraded to the intermediate stage.]
"The water in this pond is indeed extraordinary; my water element and elemental laws are improving faster than others." Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his eyes and shot out of the life pond, finding Jia Yuyan waiting for him. "Has anything happened in the past three days?"
"No." Jia Yuyan then asked him. "Have you made a decision yet?"
Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. "Cao Ren and the others will probably arrive sooner, so I was thinking of sending one of my clones to the paradise realm tonight. However, we must cover his departure from Tian Jingxuan and the others, or they will interfere with our affairs, and they might escape there."
"Sigh." Jia Yuyan released a heavy sigh after hearing that, as she did not expect that Tian Jingxuan and the other two would turn against Zhang Xiaolong [3], and it all happened because of her mistake. "Can you do anything about them?"
"Haha." Zhang Xiaolong [3] chuckled in response. "I already knew their rotten hearts, so I already did something about them from the start, and I just need to activate it now."
"Are you going to send them to the dream?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened the gate. "Let's go to the main city."
"Yeah."
.
.
.
As soon as they arrived at the main city, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately activated his dream ability. He sent the subconscious Tian Jingxuan, Qing Huang, and Shi Yan to the dream.
After that, they went to the Tiantang Mountain, and Jia Yuyan asked Han Ling to meet them there. Since his fourth clone was still following You Shanyi, Zhang Xiaolong [3] summoned Feltia [2] out of the training space to go to the Paradise Realm.
Before long, Han Ling arrived in front of them, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately gave him a device. "Old Han, I will go to the Paradise Realm with you today, but I will not stay there, and I will come back here again. Once I am ready to explore that realm, I will go there again, and I will look for you through this device."
"I will wait for you there." Han Ling turned to Jia Yuan. "I guess it's time for us to part ways, Senior Jia. Once we arrive there, I will go straight to the Floral Mirage Domain, and I will wait for you two there."
"That's good." Jia Yuyan immediately took out the key and activated it, causing the sky to split open and a light tunnel to descend from there. "Go now! Otherwise, people will come here."
Feltia [2] immediately took out Feng Jiu's flying artifact, took Han Ling aboard it, and flew it straight into the light tunnel.
Once they disappeared, Jia Yuyan immediately deactivated the portal and turned to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "With the speed of your flying artifact, you will probably arrive there in six months, but you can get there faster if you use many jewels to speed it up."
"Yeah." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then looked into the distance. "For now, we just need to wait for the Cao Clan and Qi Lai to arrive, and I will focus on my seclusion again after that."
Wan Jiang suddenly appeared in front of them. "Why are you impatient to go to my realm? Are you thinking of meeting Young Miss Luo at the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary earlier?"
"Do you have any relationship with the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary?" Jia Yuan asked in shock.
"My childhood friend, Luo Yunxiao, is the princess of the Eternal Lotus Sanctuary." Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s answer further shocked Jia Yuyan, and she then replied to Wan Jiang. "Old man, I know my limits, so I'm not crazy enough to go there. As you already know, I'm a heavenly fox, and I've confirmed that my gate ability can connect two realms, but I can only do so if I've been there before. Therefore, I sent my clone there, and he'll return here as soon as he gets there."
Wan Jiang nodded in understanding. "Doesn't that mean your efforts in the Star Tower will be in vain?"
"Haha! Why would it be in vain?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head. "There are so many free and valuable treasures in your tower, so I want to get them for our future provisions in the Paradise Realm."
Wan Jiang let out a heavy sigh at that. "I still don't understand how you trained them, but the progress of all your women is truly extraordinary compared to the last time I saw them in the Soul Challenge. Unfortunately, their strength is not enough even for these upper realms, let alone the Paradise Realm. Therefore, you should think twice before bringing them there, or they will be depressed if you bring them there too early."
"Yeah, you're right." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then hugged Jia Yuyan's waist. "Old man, I'll go back to my residence now."
After they disappeared, Wan Jiang looked up at the sky above the stone monument, and his three disciples appeared behind him. "Do you think that kid will really come back here right away, Master?"
"Do you really believe him, Xun'er?" Hua Mei'er asked her sister. "That kid is quite arrogant and overconfident, so I'm sure he won't come back here right away, and he'll force himself to explore our realm."
"Hey! Have you forgotten what he did to you last time?" Hua Mei'er turned to Sima Yun, and her body immediately trembled after remembering what happened that day. "You'd better watch your words, or he'll do worse to you, and you'll submit to him."
Hua Mei'er hugged her own body. "Stop! Don't scare me like that!"
"I actually agree with Mei'er." The three of them turned to Wan Jiang in surprise, but he looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s residence. "I don't know what that kid is planning next, but I'm sure he won't bring his clone back here right away, and he might do something there. At least I've warned him, but the decision is in his hands."
After that, the four of them disappeared from the Tiantang Mountain and returned to the southern region of the realm.
