Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Another day passed, and all of them had successfully created their own domains. Zhang Fei immediately asked his women about their domains, and they took turns explaining to him.

Zhang Yue's domain was related to the ice element and her ice phoenix bloodline, and its effects strengthened her domain technique from the ice phoenix scripture.

Hu Yue's domain has two functions: attack and support. However, its attacks are more powerful against cultivators with the dark element, demons, and demonic beasts. Its abilities support maintaining healing, recovery, and purification.

Zhang Lin's domain was naturally related to her water element, but it also strengthened the effects of Leviathan's tears and the sea dragon bracelet.

Since she has two elements, Ru Xue successfully created two domains: one light domain, which functions similarly to Hu Yue's. The other is a darkness domain with some abilities similar to the celestial demon, especially since he inherited Oz the First's bloodline.

Liu Hua did not reveal her domain to Zhang Fei, but she informed him that it was associated with the poison element.

Chu Qing and Chu Ying created the fire domains, and some of their effects are useful for alchemy.

Zhang Lingxue also created her fire domain with almost the same effect, but she also created a darkness domain, which is different from Ru Xue's.

Liu Qingyu, Bai Tian'er, Bai Shushi, and Chu Xing have light elements, so the two of them created their light domain. However, the latter also created another domain based on the Yin-Yang Avatar technique, but she did not show it directly.

Qing Yi, Xian Xianqin, Zhou Shenxin, and Zhao Ziqin succeeded in creating their wind domains. However, the effects of their domains differ from one another, and Zhao Ziqin's domain is particularly special because she integrates it with her sound technique.

The three women from the Shen Clan also created their water domains, but Shen Huang's domain was more of a support. Meanwhile, Shen Yu's domain is more balanced between attack and defense, and Shen Xueyi's domain is more focused on attack.

Tang Ziyu, Helian Xueyi, and Lian Xing created their earth domains, which were not limited to defense; they could also be used for attacks, particularly area attacks within their domains.

Just like Hong Xinxin, Yun Xinyue, Zhong Yan, and Ye Lian were lightning element possessors. They managed to create their lightning domains, but the Yun Princess's domain had a slight advantage over the other two women, and she could create lightning fields that had various effects within her domain.

The two dryads, Lillea and Janette, naturally created wood domains. However, the daughter also created the darkness domain, the element she got from the demon seed in her body.

All the male and female beasts have also created their own domains, but the most deadly is Feng Yichen's domain, mainly because of her dark phoenix flames, which can burn everything to nothing, including the souls of living creatures.

Like the others, all of Zhang Fei's unofficial women and servants also succeeded in creating diverse domains, but the most unique is the domain of the Shi Sisters. Shi Xi's domain became the most difficult to penetrate, primarily due to her mastery of the metal element and her status as the White Tiger. Shi Wu's wood domain was similar to Janette and Lillea's, but her domain was several levels above theirs, especially since she was no longer a human but an Azure Dragon.

Angela's domain was no less deadly than Feng Yichen's domain, especially since she created it from her lightning and water elements. Although she was not as powerful as the female Dark Phoenix, the combination of the two elements was truly deadly against her enemies.

Zhang Fei did not immediately lead them to continue the challenge on the fourth floor, but one of his clones brought Tantai Lingyan and Yan Leibao to the Phoenix Realm, where he installed the teleportation device that connected it to the Shandian Realm, especially since Feng Xishui had already arrived in that realm.

Before the two of them went to their home realm, Zhang Fei's clone handed over several storage rings containing pills, alchemy ingredients, and earth goods to Tantai Lingyan and Yan Leibao.

After receiving everything, Tantai Lingyan and Yan Leibao immediately went to the Shandian Realm to meet Feng Xishui. They ordered the members of the Yan and Tantai clans to assist the male phoenix in opening two stores in two different cities.

Zhang Fei's clone also went to the Shandian Realm, but he did not go to the two clans, and he only wanted to store the location of the realm in the gate feature. This way, he can go there whenever he wants without having to go to the Phoenix Realm first. After Tantai Lingyan and Yan Leibao took care of everything, he sent them back to the Star Tower, and he himself continued his training.

After Tantai Lingyan and Yan Leibao returned to the Star Tower, Zhang Fei immediately led them to continue the challenge on the fourth floor, and their large numbers made things easier for them.

Quickly, another day passed again, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] decided to leave the life pond, especially since he had promised Shangguan Yan and Duanmu Luolan to attend Shangguan Miyuan and Yuan Hao's wedding.

Shangguan Yan and Duanmu Luolan agreed to hold their children's wedding in the Shangguan Clan, especially since that clan was much bigger than the Duanmu Clan.

The Shangguan Clan itself was already crowded with invited guests, but not all the major clan leaders were present, such as Tian Jingxuan, Qing Huang, and Shi Yan, who were still recovering. Only their children, such as Tian Jiantang, Qing Yu, and a woman from the Shi Clan, represent the three clans.

Unusually, the natural races were also present in the Shangguan Clan led by Ju Xing, who forced them to come, considering their relationship with Zhang Xiaolong [3].

Since Zhang Xiaolong [3] was the lover of their two mothers, Shangguan Miyuan and Yuan Hao asked him to represent their late fathers, which made Shangguan Yan and Duanmu Luolan embarrassed and awkward toward the guests.

The wedding of Shangguan Miyuan and Yuan Hao was quite lively and long, and the event ended in the afternoon.

After the guests left the Shangguan Clan, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately spoke to them. "Your mothers have indeed prepared your bridal chamber in this clan residence, but I want you two to do it in my private place. There are some good formations there, and their effects will be beneficial to both of you. Once you guys are satisfied with your wedding night, you can join the others to practice, and I will focus on my cultivation in the eastern forest."

"What do you think about that, wife?" Yuan Hao asked Shangguan Miyuan a question, but his tone sounded awkward due to their new marital status.

Shangguan Miyuan nodded at him. "I think it's not a problem, and we can start our training straight away without bothering Zhang Fei to pick us up."

"That's true." Yuan Hao then spoke to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Please send us there."

"Hahaha." Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed and teased him. "Are you that impatient to have Miyuan?"

Yuan Hao rubbed the back of his head. "I've waited long enough to marry her, and my wait is finally over today."

"Take these bottles." Shangguan Miyuan and Yuan took both of them while looking at Zhang Xiaolong [3] in confusion. "Use both of them before you start, and you two will have an unforgettable first wedding night."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened the portal to the training space, asked both of them to enter, and told them to go to the pavilion. He normally wouldn't let anyone else enter the pavilion, especially since all his women lived there. However, most of them are in the star tower, and the rest are in the demon realm, so he made an exception for them.

"Where are they?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked Shangguan Yan and Duanmu Luolan after he closed the portal.

Shangguan Yan immediately led Zhang Xiaolong [3] to the back area of ​​her clan, followed by Duanmu Luolan, where Tian Junfeng and Shangguan Lizhi were already waiting for him along with several people from both clans.

.

"Kid, I hand over this clan to you, and you must protect it well." Shangguan Lizhi directly spoke to Zhang Xiaolong [3].

"Don't worry, I'm part of this clan now, so I'll definitely protect everyone." Zhang Xiaolong [3] turned to Tian Junfeng. "I've heard from Yan'er about your plans regarding your clan, but I can't say anything about it now, and the decision is up to Tian Jingxuan. If he really wants to be my enemy, I won't back down, and I will face him. If your clan's people act foolishly to support him, then I will eliminate them along with him."

"Haha." Tian Junfeng laughed instead. "I have no problem with that since I already decided it from the start, but you must keep your word. You can kill those who support Tian Jingxuan, and you have to spare those who don't side with him."

The people from the Tian Clan, who were standing behind Tian Junfeng, wore bad looks after their ancestor said that. However, none of them opened their mouths, especially since they were aware of the strength of Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the people around him.

"As long as they don't side with Tian Jingxuan, I will never touch them, but vice versa." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then opened the gate to the Shrouded Sky Realm. "You can all leave now, and I will return to my isolation right away."

Tian Junfeng took Shangguan Lizhi's hand and led her into the gate, followed by people from the Tian and Shangguan Clans.

As soon as Zhang Xiaolong [3] closed the gate, Gu Changsheng appeared before them as ordered. "I will take Shangguan Yan and Duanmu Luolan into seclusion, so I want your people to protect their two clans, and they can kill anyone who dares to try to attack the two."

"Yes, Master." Gu Changsheng immediately contacted several people and asked them to protect the Duanmu and Shangguan Clans. "Leave everything to me, Master. We will protect their clans well, and I will always monitor their situation."

"That's good." Zhang Xiaolong [3] led the two women back to the main hall.

"Aren't you going to bring Leng Xueyan with us?" Shangguan Yan asked him.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] released a soft sigh as he still hadn't made a decision about Leng Xueyan, but Duanmu Luolan directly spoke to him. "Xueyan might have a hard time accepting the fact that you and the man she met in the Grand Royal Realm are clones of your original body, but you should be able to convince her, right?"

"Yeah, you're right." When they arrived at the main hall, Zhang Fei sent the two women and Shangguan Han into the training room. However, he did not follow them and went to the Sky Flame's location, especially since Yuan Tianling had still been there for almost a month and had not returned.

"You've deceived a lot of people, kid." Yan Huo spoke as soon as Zhang Xiaolong [3] appeared.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled at that. "What do you mean I deceived them, old man? I've shown some of my abilities during the entrance tests, but many of them weren't aware of me"

Huo Diqiu suddenly emerged from Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s body and flew into the cave. "Master, I will go to meet my brother and check on your wife!"

"You're right." Yan Huo nodded in agreement. "Many of the inhabitants of this realm disregard those who attempt to enter, believing that these newcomers are too weak; only a few individuals pay attention to them. You arrived in this realm a month and a half ago with the best test results, and I had already guessed that you were no ordinary kid with all the abilities you showed back then. However, I never expected that you would bring about such a big change in this realm in such a short time, and you've even taken over several of those major clans, which made you the greatest power here."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head at the old man. "I never thought about becoming the greatest power in this realm, and I just wanted to enjoy a leisurely life while increasing my cultivation. Unfortunately, I could never find peace wherever I went, and I always encountered a lot of problems in all the realms I've visited."

"Haha." Yan Huo laughed at that. "Trouble is always a part of our lives, and we can never avoid it. Even if we try our best to avoid it, it will still come whether we expect it or not. If only you didn't get involved with those few people, you would never have been drawn into the troubles in this world, and you could have the peace you desire."

"There are no ifs in this life, right? Everything has happened, and I don't regret it, especially since I met some interesting women here." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then asked him. "What's your choice, old man? Do you want to be my friend or enemy?"

"Hmm?" Yan Huo looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] with a frown.

"Just as you all keep watching me, I have also been watching you all since I arrived in this realm. Therefore, I know that you and Jin Zhongli are close to Tian Jingxuan, and he might become my enemy one day." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then repeated his question. "Do you want to be my friend or enemy, old man? Old man Junfeng has already given me permission to attack him if he chooses to be my enemy, but I see the possibility that you two will protect him from me, so I want to know your answer."

Yan Huo downed the wine in his bottle before walking in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "What will you do to me if I side with Tian Jingxuan?"

"You will die with Tian Jingxuan or become my slave like Gu Changsheng and the others." Zhang Xiaolong [3] casually replied.

Yan Huo glared intensely at Zhang Xiaolong [3] for quite some time before laughing out loud. "Hahaha! I never dreamed that I would be in this kind of situation one day, where a brat who had not cultivated for long would threaten me. You are right that I have a good relationship with Tian Jingxuan, but I am not so stupid as to side with a fool. Moreover, I don't have much time left, and I will disappear from this realm once the Sky Flame merges with Yuan Tianling."

"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] raised his eyebrows as he didn't see anything strange in Yan Huo's status, and Mei also didn't detect anything weird from him. "What do you mean by that, old man?"

Yan Huo waved his sleeves and revealed both of his arms, which looked transparent, shocking Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Kid, I died a long time ago, and I am still alive now because of Tian Yan and the Sky Flame. I would never be able to exist without them, so I am just waiting for my departure, which will not be long."

"How could this happen to you?"

"I will not waste your precious time by telling you my past story, and everything will disappear along with my soul." Yan Huo grabbed Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s shoulder. "Tian Yan is like my son, and he will merge with Yuan Tianling soon. He will probably be lonely after I leave, so I hope you can spend a little time with him and help him get rid of his loneliness."

Zhang Xialong [3] released a soft sigh as he nodded. "Did you die because of the Sky Flame, old man?"

"Yes." Yan Huo didn't cover it up. "Back then, Tian Kongquan and I found the Sky Flame, but it was still tiny. However, I was too rash and touched it without thinking twice. At that moment, my body was burned to ashes, and my soul was already bound to it when I opened my eyes again."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] was shocked to hear that. "Isn't Tian Kongquan the founding father of this realm? Doesn't that mean you are too?"
