Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 438: Wasteland Realm

After the three Chu Sisters calmed down, Zhang Fei brought them back to the Chu Clan before taking them to his room. Chu Ying and Chu Qing immediately laid down on the bed and closed their eyes, especially since they were mentally exhausted by their fatherʼs death.

Unlike them, Chu Hongʼs death actually spurred Chu Xingʼs spirit to become stronger. ”Brother-in-law, please send me into your training space now. Itʼs useless for me to grieve over my fatherʼs death, so I want to train to forget my sadness, and I will kill those people with my own hands in the future. Oh! Please give me your yang qi.”

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment by Chu Xingʼs request, but he then gave her a few bottles of his yang qi, especially since he had already given her the flawless Yin-Yang Art a long time ago, and he immediately sent her into the training space.

Zhang Fei then checked on the Chu Clan and found that they had returned to their respective rooms, and Liu Qingyu was alone in her room, so he rushed there to meet her.

”Qingyu.”

”Come here, Feiʼer.” Liu Qingyu spoke while patting her side, and as soon as Zhang Fei sat down beside her, she immediately rested her head on his broad shoulder. ”I heard your conversation with Aunt Chen before, and I myself am really sad about my husbandʼs death. However, I want you to know that I never blamed you for his death, so you can stop blaming yourself.

Moreover, you have seen for yourself the situation in the demon cave before, and they could do nothing to retaliate against those traitors. If you werenʼt there and helped them, the demons from the Netherworld Realm would have returned to this realm, and they would have enslaved not only the seniors but also all the inhabitants of this realm.”

Zhang Fei immediately pulled Liu Qingyu into his lap and hugged him tightly. ”Even though I know the facts, I still regret my weakness. Some of them, including Chu Hong, had to die because I couldnʼt do anything to save them. Moreover, I made a promise to all of you that I would never cause you any sorrow, but today, his death has left you sad and your daughters miserable.”

”Feiʼer.” Liu Qingyu called out while looking at him. ”Human life and death are arranged by fate, remember? You are not a god, so you have no control over the life and death of others. Even if you manage to reach the peak of the cultivation world in the future, you will still never be able to do so.

Therefore, you should stop regretting everything that has happened and look forward to the long future ahead of you. Otherwise, your regrets will always weigh on your heart and hinder your development, and we donʼt want to see you like that.”

”I know that, but—”

Liu Qingyu instantly sealed Zhang Feiʼs lips to stop him from speaking, and they kissed for a while before she separated their lips. She then rubbed his cheeks as she softly spoke. ”Forget it, okay? My daughters and I are sad now, but weʼll get through it soon, and everything will be fine again.

The only thing we can do now is strengthen ourselves, and we will continue to help each other to become as strong as possible together. When we are truly strong, we will go to the Red Sun Realm to make a calculation against Shang Huaqiang and his Shang Clan, and we will eradicate them down to their roots, so no one else will suffer because of them.”

”Youʼre right.” Zhang Fei then carried Liu Qingyu to lie down on the bed, hugging her head to his chest. ”Sooner or later, all of us will become truly strong, and I will take you to the Red Sun Realm to settle accounts with Shang Huaqiang in the future. At that point, we will destroy them, and the four of you can kill him with your own hands to avenge Chu Hongʼs death.

Since we donʼt have the strength to do that yet, I will start everything from Shang Yaolin, and she will be our pawn to destroy that clan.”

Liu Qingyu immediately looked up at Zhang Fei. ”You have to be careful when doing that, okay? Shang Yaolin is much stronger than you, especially with her cultivation in the seven divine realms, and she might kill you outright if she notices your action.”

”Donʼt worry, okay? I definitely wonʼt act rashly, and Iʼll do it gradually. That way, she wonʼt notice my actions, and itʼll be too late for her by the time she realizes it.” Liu Qingyu immediately curled up in Zhang Feiʼs embrace, and she immediately closed her eyes to rest her tired mind, especially since she had been through a lot in two days. ʼMei, whereʼs the elemental seedʼs closest location?ʼ

[Master, the closest elemental seed can be found in Cyanwood Mountain, located in the Nine Stars Realm, a planet within the middle realms. According to the information provided by the woman, the realm is a monthʼs journey from the Netherworld Realm. If you want to go there, then you have to depart from that demon realm, and you can use the Pandora Odyssey for that.]

ʼThe Nine Stars Realm, huh?ʼ Zhang Fei muttered inwardly to himself as he contemplated various aspects. ʼWhat about the Wasteland Realm? Is that realm closer to the Nine Stars realm?ʼ

[Master, I donʼt have any data about the Wasteland Realm yet, so I canʼt calculate the distance between the two realms. Thatʼs why you should wait for Zhang Xiaolong [3] to arrive at that realm first, after which I will directly map it out and provide you with an estimate of the distance between the two realms.]

Zhang Fei nodded in understanding, but he immediately contacted Feng Yao and asked her about the distance between the Wasteland Realm and the Nine Stars Realm. However, her answer disappointed him, especially since she had never visited that realm, so she did not know the exact distance between the two.

ʼZhang Xiaolong [3] will arrive at that realm in two days, so you can immediately map it once he arrives there, Mei.ʼ

[Yes, Master.]

ʼAnyway, did that woman also provide information on which elemental seed is in the Nine Stars Realm?ʼ

[A low-rank lightning elemental seed, master.]

ʼA low-rank lightning elemental seed, huh?ʼ Zhang Fei then sighed softly, especially since his chance of obtaining a new element would be too small if he only used a low-rank seed, which was only about twenty percent. Back then, he managed to obtain the wind element because Zefyr helped him fuse with the low-rank wind elemental seed, which increased his chance to one hundred percent.

As for the lightning element, he didnʼt have any acquaintances who possessed that element, so no one could help him.

Zhang Fei then asked Oliver through his fourth clone, but the fairy race leader told him that none of the fairy race members possessed the lightning element, and they only had other basic elements. ʼSigh! No matter what, I have to get the low-rank lightning elemental seed first, and Iʼll think of a solution to get the lightning element from it later.ʼ

[Daily Quest: Killing 700 demons at Marquis rank or above.]

[Status: Done.]

[Reward: 70,000 female essences were added to the balance.]

Zhang Fei ignored the notifications and closed his eyes to accompany Liu Qingyu to sleep, but he couldnʼt really fall asleep, especially since his mind was constantly occupied by various things.

After he finished the daily quest, Feltia [2] immediately took the female demons back to his sub-realm. Once they arrived at the tower, he immediately took them to the top of the tower, and he gave Ursula more of his yang qi, especially since they were still unwilling to do such things with him.

After that, he told Eve and the others to get ready, which excited them, and they started dual cultivating.

One female demon, who was none other than You Han, kept grumbling in her heart, especially since she had to watch them have fun all the time. Although she disliked Fetlia [2] because he was the one who sent her to the Diyu Realm and turned her into a demon, she was still a living creature with lust.

Their actions always aroused her, but he never paid her any attention, let alone invited her to join them. ʼSigh! At least the twins are no longer absorbing my demon power, so my condition can slowly recover. That way, I can leave this room, and I donʼt have to watch them like now.ʼ

At dawn, Zhang Fei was awakened from his sleep by the appearance of the notification, and he immediately woke up Liu Qingyu, who was still sleeping in his arms. After all, she had planned to hold a simple funeral ceremony for Chu Hong, and she had also ordered the people from the Chu Clan to dig a grave behind their clan.

As usual, Zhang Fei ignored the quest notification, and he let one of his clones take care of it.

Although they could not find his corpse, especially since they did not know in which realm Chu Hong died. Liu Qingyu intended to hold a funeral for her husband, and she used some of his important personal belongings to replace his corpse.

All members of the Chu and Liu Clans had gathered in the main hall, except for Chu Xing, who preferred to continue her training in the training space. Liu Qingyu and the others didnʼt mind her wishes, especially since they were familiar with her character, so they started Chu Hongʼs funeral ceremony without her.

After the funeral was over, Liu Qingyu and the others immediately buried Chu Hongʼs personal belongings behind the clan, and they also put up a painting of him in front of his grave. Unlike their mother, Chu Ying and Chu Qing still grieved over their fatherʼs death, and both of them continued to kneel in front of the grave, crying.

Zhang Fei naturally wouldnʼt leave his two wives like that, so he ignored everything else just to accompany Chu Ying and Chu Qing, kneeling between them while hugging both of them.

Meanwhile, Liu Rong asked her son, Liu Ming, to return to the Liu clan, especially since they had been absent from their clan for too long, so he had to return there, but she herself remained in the Chu clan to accompany her daughter and grandchildren.

Chu Liuxiang decided to bring Yuan Manqiu back to the eastern region, especially since his wife would continue to be sad if they continued to stay in the Chu Clan. She did not reject his wishes because she was fully aware of her own feelings.

All of Zhang Feiʼs wives and family members decided to return to their own residence, especially since they had been training in the training space for quite some time. So they decided to rest for a few days, waiting for him to be ready to enter seclusion again.

However, Liu Hua did not join them, so she went with the Wen Twins to take care of the people from the Demon Fox Group. She decided to divide the group members into several small groups, and she asked them to spread out throughout the region, including the Northern Region, especially since that region had been completely secured with the disappearance of those heretic clans.

Unlike them, Zhang Fei [1] and his partners did not leave the training space, and they remained focused on improving their cultivation inside the portable mansion. Feltia [2], aided by his fellow female demons, continues to concentrate on enhancing his demon power, disregarding any events within the tower, particularly since no significant events occur.

Even so, some of the female demons, such as Naeth and Kyllia, continued to report to him. You Han, who can now walk on her own, decides to leave their room, and she begins to live her new life as a dryad.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei [4] and the three leaders of the natural races continued their journey towards the western region without stopping, especially since time was ticking, and they were worried that Zhang Wuji had turned into a demon.

Another two days passed quickly, and Shang Chenguangʼs flying artifact slowly flew closer to a realm. Shang Yaolin then carried Zhang Xiaolong [3] to the front of the flying artifact, and the two of them looked towards the Wasteland Realm. They could see a tall mountain rising from the center of the realm, and more than half of it was ocean, with four islands stretching on all four sides.

[Ding]

[The system has already recorded the Wasteland Realm, and the host can access it through Gate in the future.]

As soon as the flying artifact entered the Wasteland Realm, Shang Yaolin immediately pointed her index figure to the front. ”Can you see the mountain, Longʼer? That is a fortress, but it is also the residence of the natives of this realm.

In the past, they inhabited almost all the islands in this realm, with the exception of the western island, which is home to the demihumans, who have a strong dislike for humans. However, the senior cultivators from the upper realms relocated most of them to other realms, with the intention of using this realm as a punishment ground for the members of their clans.

Since then, those who didnʼt want to leave stayed on that mountain, and the senior cultivators from the upper realms continued to protect them, including some people from my clan.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] was no longer surprised by this, especially since Feng Yao had explained everything to him. However, he was curious about the eastern island, particularly Tiangouʼs existence there, and he was eager to meet him. ʼMei, start mapping this realm.ʼ

[Yes, Master.]

Shang Yaolin then told Zhang Xiaolong [3] about each island, and she also told him about the people from the upper realms who lived on the northern island, especially about their identities and clans.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] was surprised because there were hundreds of clans living on the northern island, but the island itself was indeed very large, which was like the combination of the western and eastern regions in the Sky Jade Realm, so it was truly vast. ”What about the island to the east, Big Sis?”

”Are you interested in the eastern island, Longʼer?” Shang Guangming asked as he approached them. ”You are a beast, so you should be able to feel the presence of many beasts on that island, right?”

”Yes.” Zhang Xiaolong[3] nodded to Shang Guangming. ”Not only can I feel that there are so many beasts on the island, but I can also feel the presence of a powerful beast on the island, and it seems to be much stronger than my father.”

”Haha.” Shang Guangming laughed and rubbed Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs head. ”Youʼre still this small, but your beast instincts are really sharp. Anyway, youʼre right about that; a powerful beast named Tiangou lives on the eastern island, and he is the protector of the beast races on the island. Thatʼs the reason why humans, demihumans, and demons in this realm donʼt dare to approach the island.

However, you should refrain from going there, especially at night. During the day, he is very kind and will not attack anyone, but he will become fierce at night, and he will definitely attack you.”

”En, I understand, big brother. Iʼm still young, so I donʼt want to seek death by going to the eastern island, and Iʼll spend my time with you two.” Shang Yaolin smiled happily as he hugged him, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately tried to absorb the Qi in the Wasteland Realm. ʼDang!

The difference in quantity and quality of Qi between the lower and middle realms is truly significant, and if I stay in this realm, I can definitely cultivate faster. Unfortunately, I canʼt bring them to this realm now, but Iʼll find a way to bring them here soon.ʼ
