Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 760: Toward The Nine Hells Darkland

Zhang Fei [5] was already at the Yun Royal Palace, and he gave Yun Shang fifty bottles of Jin Ruyueʼs Yin Qi.

Unlike Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang, Guo Xuehua had no problem swallowing another manʼs Yang Qi, and Yun Shang had no objections to it as long as she didnʼt drink it from the source directly. Therefore, Zhang Fei [5] gave his mother-in-law a few bottles of Yang Qi from a male cultivator with cultivation in the Seven Divine Realms, but it was not as strong as Jin Ruyueʼs Yin Qi, especially since its owner was much weaker than her.

Yun Shang and Guo Xuehua decided to carry out seclusion in turn, and Empress Guo did it first, mainly because Emperor Yun wanted to monitor the situation in the Zhou Kingdom, which was already under the complete control of the Yun and Xian Kingdoms.

After that, Zhang Fei [5] went to Earth specifically to retrieve all the Earth items because he had to replenish the supplies for all his shops in the Sky Jade Realms and the Nine Stars Realm, and he also had to replenish the supplies for his two shops on Earth.

At first, Zhang Fei [5] wanted to send Yang Luʼer and the others to the training space, but Huang Rong informed him that she had already started drawing up a plan to open a new branch of their store, and her target was the American market. ”I have a building there, ready for use as a store. As for the product licenses, I have already taken care of them along with the licenses for our store in Paris, so I will open it in a month.”

”What about the person who will handle the branch store?” Zhang Fei [5] asked.

”Haha.” Huang Rong laughed as she showed Zhang Fei [5] a photo. ”Huang Ying is my niece, and she has lived in America for two decades. She has a lot of experience in managing stores, so I will hand over our store there to her, and I have asked her to look for employees there.”

Zhang Fei [5] briefly glanced at Huang Yingʼs photo. ”All right, you can arrange everything, and I will prepare the stock for our new shop in that country.”

”After the opening of our new branch store, we will live with you in the Nine Stars Realm, and we will stay there for a few months to have fun with you.”

Zhang Fei [5] immediately pulled Huang Rong to his side. ”In fact, you guys donʼt need to stay on Earth anymore, and all of you can move to the Nine Stars Realm. Even though you all canʼt become cultivators, the Qi there is still useful for your bodies. You just need to find the most suitable person to take care of our company, and you can control everything once a month. If that person dares to betray your trust, I will kill him or her directly.”

”Why do I feel like your brain is filled with nothing but killing now?” Huang Rong asked with a shake of her head. ”All right, I will prepare the most suitable person to take care of everything, and we will live in the Nine Stars Realm forever.”

”Iʼm going to Paris now to add more stock to our shop there, and Iʼll take all the goods in those warehouses before returning to the Nine Stars Realm.” After that, Zhang Fei [5] went to that country and spent some time with Yang Luʼer and the others before taking all those items and returning to his current realm.

Once he returned there, Zhang Fei [5] went to his shop in the Bai Kingdom and handed over all the shop and restaurant needs to Han Bingxing and Xuan Cunhua, especially since Liu Hua and Liu Qingyu were still training in the Netherworld Realm with the others.

Zhang Fei [5]ʼs next destination was the Natural Race Kingdom to hand over those items to Sabina and the others, but he did not meet Xian Linghua and Xue Jingling. He tried to go to the Cyanwood Mountain, but he didnʼt get too close to it and monitored it from a distance. ”Can you detect the location of the lightning elemental seed, Mei?ʼ

[Master, the location of the lightning elemental seed is right in the middle of that mountain peak, and it is protected by the lightning spirit, who once watched you break through to the Earth Realm the first time.]

”The lightning spirit, huh?” Zhang Fei [5] muttered to himself. ”If I can get the seed, I might be able to gain the spiritʼs recognition. If that happens, it will be a double benefit for me. Unfortunately, I havenʼt found the light and wind spirits, but I will definitely get them in the future. Hey, Mei! Why doesnʼt the system give me any quests in the Red Sun Realm?”

[Master, Iʼve told you many times that the system is beyond my control, and it always runs automatically, so I have no answer for that. Moreover, itʼs not the first time, right? You didnʼt get any quests in the Wasteland Realm, but you got a lot of quests in this realm.]

”Yeah.” Zhang Fei [5] nodded in agreement. ”Could it be that the system will only give me quests in the realm I choose as my base?”

[Thatʼs possible, master. Somehow, I feel like the system is working in line with your wishes, and you have no intention of staying in the Red Sun Realm, right?]

Zhang Fei [5] shook his head slightly. ”The Red Sun Realm is not bad, but I am not interested in using it as my base in the upper realms. Rather than that realm, I am more interested in building my base in the Xianjin Realm, the Void Heaven Realm, or the Starry Sky Realm.”

[Master, I understand if you want to build your base in the Xianjin Realm or the Void Heaven Realm, but I donʼt understand why you are considering the Starry Sky Realm as one.]

”Haha.” Zhang Fei [5] laughed. ”The Xianjin Realm is the most advanced realm in the universe, but the Nameless One lives there, so I donʼt think itʼs suitable for my base. Meanwhile, Tian Shuixiang and Lin Jingxia inhabit the Void Heaven Realm, and their reputation is too high. Besides, there are too many alchemists there, and I will face a lot of trouble if I sell my pills there. Therefore, I am considering the Starry Sky Realm because that realm is the origin realm of the demon extermination sword, and that realm has been completely destroyed, so not many cultivators will bother me there.”

[Wonʼt you consider the Phoenix Realm or the Evergreen Spirit Haven Realm as your base, Master?]

Zhang Fei [5] pondered for a while before answering. ”The Phoenix Realm is one of the best choices, and those heavenly foxes wouldnʼt dare look for me there. As for the Evergreen Spirit Haven Realm, I still donʼt know whether the natural races there are hostile to humans and demons or not, so I havenʼt considered that realm, and I will go there first before deciding.”

Ma Kuangyu suddenly spoke into Zhang Fei [5]ʼs mind. ʼKid, I know a realm in the upper realms that is suitable for you and your loved ones, and Iʼm sure you guys will like living there.ʼ

ʼArenʼt you a cultivator from the realms beyond the upper realms, Old Ma? How do you know about that realm?ʼ Zhang Fei [5] asked in confusion.

ʼHey! I actually didnʼt want to tell you about my home realm yet, but youʼre different from other cultivators, so I think itʼs okay if I tell you about it now.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] himself was curious about those realms, and he really wanted to know about them. ʼThere, all the realms merge into a single, vast realm that rivals the size of these three mortal realms. In total, there were ninety-nine domains, and each domain had their own leader. As for how I know that realm in the upper realms, people from my realm can still descend to these three mortal realms, and I often did that long ago.ʼ

Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding, and he already guessed that Luo Yunxiao came from that realm, so other cultivators from there could also do it. ʼWhat are the names of those two realms, Old Ma?ʼ

ʼThe Sovereign Heaven Realm is located on the border between these three mortal realms and my realm.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] raised his eyebrows slightly. ʼI can tell you that realm is the strongest in the upper realms, but it is hidden from the public, so few know about it. By the way, you can forget about going to my realm through the border, especially since you will never be able to do so, even if your cultivation has reached the peak of the Seven Divine Realms.ʼ

ʼWhy is that?ʼ

ʼA powerful void barrier separates the border, and only cultivators with a deep understanding of the void element can pass through it.ʼ Ma Kuangyuʼs answer caused Zhang Fei [5] to sigh heavily, especially since he didnʼt have the void element. ʼFurthermore, ten powerful beasts, not ordinary ones but ancient ones, guard the place behind the border.ʼ

ʼTen ancient beasts?ʼ Zhang Fei [5] asked with a frown.

Ma Kuangyu told Zhang Fei [5] about the races of all those beasts. ʼAll of them are mythical rank beasts, and their cultivation has already surpassed the Seven Divine Realms. Even if you are a mythical beast and your cultivation has reached the 5-Moon Divine Ascension Realm, you still wonʼt be able to defeat them.ʼ

ʼSo, whatʼs the name of your realm, Old Ma?ʼ

ʼWe call it the Paradise Realm.ʼ

ʼThe Paradise Realm, huh?ʼ Zhang Fei muttered. ʼSince you mentioned there were ninety-nine domains there, I thought it was called 99 heavens.ʼ

ʼHaha!ʼ Ma Kuangyu laughed at that. ʼWhen you break through to the seven divine realms, you will begin to feel and absorb the divine qi. However, the Qi in the Paradise Realm is completely different, and we call it the Celestial Qi. As for the cultivation levels above the seven divine realms, I will tell you after you break through to that stage.ʼ

As a big fan of cultivation novels and the like, Zhang Fei [5] had long been aware that there were other stages above the Seven Divine Realms. He wanted to know about those stages, but he immediately gave up his intention, especially since his cultivation was still at the ten mortal realms. ʼOld Ma, have you ever heard of the name Luo Yunxiao?ʼ

ʼOh! I remember you talking about that girl with your family before, and the relationship between the two of you seemed so close.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] nodded slightly in response. ʼTo tell you the truth, I know Luo Yunxiao and her family, and—ʼ

ʼAre you serious, Old Ma? Do you really know Luo Yunxiao and her family?ʼ

ʼDo I need to lie to you, kid? Your soul mark is in my soul, remember? Luo Yunxiaoʼs parents are Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi, right?ʼ

ʼThatʼs right; Uncle Fengyan and Aunt Xiaoyi are indeed her parents.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] replied with a nod.

Ma Kuangyu continued straight away. ʼLuo Fenghan and his family are one of the strongest in the Empyrean Domain, and they are the leaders of the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary. His first daughter is Luo Yunxiao, and he has two sons, Luo Zhenyu and Luo Jiaxuan.ʼ

ʼOh?ʼ Zhang Fei [5] was surprised to hear that, especially since he remembered that Luo Yunxiao had no siblings at that time, and she herself was still a child. ʼWhen did you last see them, Old Ma?ʼ

ʼI last saw them several years before my death.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] stiffened upon hearing that. ʼAs you guessed, kid. The current Luo Yunxiao is much older than you now, especially since the time difference between these three mortal realms and our realm is too long. If I remember correctly, she should be five hundred years old now, and she will be very old when you have the ability to go to our realm.ʼ

Zhang Fei [5] was completely shocked to hear that. ʼHas Luo Yunxiaoʼs cultivation surpassed the Seven Divine Realm now?ʼ

ʼHehe.ʼ Ma Kuangyu chuckled. ʼLuo Yunxiao is one of the prodigies in the Paradise Realm, and her cultivation has already surpassed the Seven Divine Realm. In fact, Luo Fenghan hid her existence, and only a few people knew about her, but I donʼt know for sure why he did that.ʼ

Zhang Fei [5] clenched both fists tightly after hearing all that. He had always been confident in his abilities and strengths, but he didnʼt have the confidence to reach Luo Yunxiaoʼs level. ʼHer level is already that high, and her time is much faster than mine. No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to reach her level.ʼ

ʼWhy are you so discouraged? This is not your character, kid.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] responded to Ma Kuangyu with a heavy sigh. ʼHer level is indeed too high for you now, but that doesnʼt mean you canʼt catch up to her, and you donʼt need to be discouraged because it will take her hundreds of years to pass each minor stage at her level. After all, you have many advantages that other cultivators, including her, donʼt have. Your main problem is that you interfere too much in other peopleʼs affairs, which only wastes your time. Therefore, you have to be more selfish and think more about yourself, and if you can do that, I believe you will be able to reach her level in the future.ʼ

ʼYou are right, Old Ma. I have been thinking too much about unimportant matters, and I should think more about myself.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] raised both his fists up. ʼFrom today on, I will be more selfish, and I will wander the other realms to search for all the things I need to speed up my cultivation. Luo Yunxiao is already far ahead of me, but I have many extraordinary things in my possession, and all of them have helped me reach this stage. I just need to work harder to improve myself, and I will definitely reach her level in the future.ʼ

Not only was Ma Kuangyu happy to hear that, but Mei was also happy to hear Zhang Fei [5]ʼs words. ʼThatʼs the spirit, kid! So, which realm will be your next destination?ʼ

ʼThe Nine Hells Darkland.ʼ

ʼOh? Do you want to find the soul pond and the soul fire?ʼ

ʼYes.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] immediately took out the Pandora Odyssey. ʼI believe the soul pond can help me increase my soul power, and the soul fire will increase the explosive power of my fire element. Therefore, I will go to that realm right now, and I will find both of them as soon as possible.ʼ

Zhang Fei [5] immediately boarded his flying artifact and flew away from the Nine Stars Realm at full speed, especially since it took him a month to arrive at the Nine Hells Darkland.

In the maze challenge, Huangfu Shou and the others looked frustrated, especially since they had been trapped in that place for two weeks. Moreover, they still hadnʼt managed to find Huangfu Fanbo, and they also hadnʼt found the antidote for Huangfu Xiaomei and Huangfu Xiaoying.

”Husband!” Helian Yueyi called out as she pointed to the path ahead. ”Look over there! Thereʼs a woman over there!”

Huangfu Shou and the others immediately looked in the direction Helian Yueyi was pointing, but the woman only smiled and placed a bottle on the floor before disappearing from their sight.

Without thinking twice, Helian Yueyi ran to the bottle and picked it up. She then read the note attached to it before looking back. ”Husband! This is the antidote to the black liquid that is tormenting our two daughters!”

”Hmm?” They immediately moved to Helian Yueyiʼs side, and Huangfu Shou took the bottle from her hand. ”Who is that woman? Why is she helping us? Is the content of this bottle really the antidote?”

Just as they were contemplating all of that, a beam of light suddenly engulfed them. Within a few seconds, they found themselves outside the tower, which shocked them.

Li Tiannan immediately spoke. ”Since weʼre here, we can try using this antidote on your two daughters.”

”All right.”
