Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 794: 10 Star Earth Realm

After they managed to convince the Dai Clan, Hong Quan and the others immediately moved to the Wang Clan. Unlike Dai Hubai, Wang Jinghsan was too cowardly and stubborn, making it difficult for them to convince him.

In the end, Hong Quan and the others decided to use violence and coercion to capture Wang Jinghsan, which caused great chaos in the Wang Clan and injured many of the clanʼs main members.

Since Wang Jingshan and the main members of the Wang Clan fell into enemy hands, the remaining members of their clan decided to surrender to Hong Quan and the others.

Hong Quan decided to take Wang Jingshan and the main members of the Wang Clan back to the Hong Clan, imprisoning them there. As for the remaining members of their clan, the other leaders from other clans divided them and took them to their respective clans.

Since the situation in the Northern Region was already quite safe, and the Shang Clan still couldnʼt make a move, Jin Ruyue decided to bring the members of her Jin Clan back to their residence.

Hong Quan asked Jin Ruyue, Dai Hubai, and Ren Dongcheng to monitor the changes in the situation in the Northern Region. In addition to that, he asked them to clean up the minor clans that were still loyal to the Shang Clan to weaken the clan even further.

Hong Quan and several others immediately moved to clean up the minor clans in the southern region who were loyal to the Shang Clan. Naturally, they did not move openly, especially since Shang Yanhan and Shang Yanjun would know their movements if they did.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the Tie, Miao, Lai, and Tao clans moved to purge the Shang clan loyalists in the eastern region.

The Huo Clan, as the strongest clan in the eastern region, was naturally aware of their movements. Huo Jiguang went to meet the leaders of the four clans to discuss the matter, but they did not explain it to him in detail, and they only told him the outline of Hong Quanʼs plan.

Even though he had long known about Hong Quanʼs movements, Huo Jiguang still did not expect that he would move so quickly against the Shang clan, which made him wonder about his reasons.

Despite this, Huo Jiguang was not too worried about their movements because their enemy was not his Huo Clan, but he was aware that the situation in their realm would change significantly, especially after they destroyed Shang Huaqiang and his clan.

Therefore, Huo Jiguang immediately made several plans to deal with this change, especially since there were three factions in their realm. These factions included his own group, Hong Quanʼs group, and Xi Hongyanʼs group.

After that day, the situation in the Red Sun Realm was relatively peaceful, and nothing major happened. Shang Huaqiang was too busy with his private matters to find the perpetrator who poisoned him and his wife; he believed that the perpetrator was the same person who infiltrated his clan and did despicable things to him.

Fei Qinyuan left the Shang Clan several times just to see Fei Shuya, and she heard from her grandmother about Hong Quanʼs actions against the Dai and Wang Clan. She believed that his actions were related to Zhang Fei, and she wanted to retaliate against them.

However, Fei Shuya repeatedly forbade Fei Qinyuan and reminded her that her life was in Zhang Feiʼs hands, so he could kill her whenever she wanted, forcing her to abandon her intention.

Due to Fei Shuyaʼs relentless urging, Fei Qinyuan began to establish communication with Huo Chunlai, but she had not thought too far into a close relationship with him, mainly because her feelings for Shang Huaqiang were still too deep.

As for Shang Ziyuan and Shi Wuxian, both women are still tormented by the effects of Zhang Feiʼs hormone manipulation, and they never leave their room once.

Ten days later.

The atmosphere in the Zhou Kingdom was truly festive, and the entire city was decorated with wedding decorations, especially since today was Zhou Shenxinʼs wedding to Zhang Fei.

The royal families, sects, and clans from the three other human kingdoms were present at their wedding. Only the royal family of the Huangfu Kingdom was absent, even though they were already under Zhang Feiʼs control.

The residents of the Zhou Kingdom were shocked by the presence of the royal families of the Beast, Natural Race, and Demon kingdoms. They did not mind the presence of the people from the Beast and Natural Race kingdoms, but they could not accept the presence of the people from the Ximen kingdom.

Fortunately, Zhou Shenxin had already ordered her ministers and subordinates to take care of the matter, and they informed the residents of their kingdom that the Ximen Kingdom was subject to their empressʼs fiancé, which made them shocked and curious about Zhang Fei.

The residents of the Zhou Kingdom themselves already knew about Zhang Feiʼs status as the son-in-law of the Xian and Yun Kingdoms, and he would soon become the emperor of their kingdom after his marriage to Zhou Shenxin. At first, they did not know the reason behind the presence of people from the Beast and Natural Race kingdoms at their wedding, but they began to realize that those people were present because of their future emperor.

The wedding ceremony in the Zhou kingdom was not much different from that in the Xian or Yun kingdoms, and a few hours later, Zhang Fei had already solemnized his marriage to Zhou Shenxin.

After their wedding, Zhang Fei announced that he would not rule as the emperor, so Zhou Shenxin would handle all affairs in the Zhou Kingdom as their empress, assisted by Jiang Tingxi. He did not reveal to them that their former emperor and his sons were his slaves, and they would help his wife to take care of their kingdom.

Since he could not have a wedding night with Zhou Shenxin due to the vast difference in their cultivation, Zhang Fei decided to take her into the training space. He handed over all the affairs of the kingdom to Jiang Tingxi, Zhou Xiaochuan, and the other women, so the government continued to run normally.

Inside the cloud mansion, Zhang Fei gathered all his official and unofficial women. He explained to them his plan to directly break through to the Heaven Realm, which shocked all of them. After all, his cultivation had long been stable, but he had waited until his marriage with Zhou Shenxin, especially since he would face lightning tribulations that were much more intense than usual.

”Are you sure you want to do that?” Hong Xinxin asked in a serious tone. ”Iʼve heard of cultivators breaking through two to three stages at once, but they only broke through minor stages, and they experienced great difficulty in the process. As for you, you are about to break through three minor stages and one major stage, so Iʼm not sure you will be able to make it through. Your cultivation will be crippled if you fail, and at worst, you will die from your lightning tribulations.”

Shang Yumei nodded in agreement with Hong Xinxin. ”Husband, I understand your wishes, but I think it is too risky for you to break through to the Heaven Realm directly. After all, your bad karma is too thick, and Heaven will try to kill you by bringing down powerful lightning tribulations at once.”

”I fully understand the risks, but I have already decided on it.” Zhang Feiʼs response made them angry, but he hurriedly continued. ”I will not break through to the Heaven Realm directly, and I will break through to the 10-Stars Earth Realm first. If I feel I am able to break through to the Heaven Realm, I will break through again immediately, but conversely, I will stop if I am unable to withstand my lightning tribulations.”

”Why did you never discuss this matter with us, Feir? Why did you suddenly make this decision?” Zhang Yue inquired, her voice filled with worry.

Liu Qingyu also asked him. ”Did you have any other plans for deciding to do that?”

”Yes.” Zhang Fei then told them about his plans to dominate the lower and middle realms, which greatly shocked them. ”Our family is large now, and we will need more cultivation resources as our cultivation continues to increase. Therefore, I decided on this matter, and the lower and middle realms will be our foundation before I bring you all to the upper realms.”

They had long known that Zhang Fei wanted to dominate the lower and middle realms, but they felt that it was too hasty, and he should do everything gradually. However, their memories of Luo Yunxiao led them to believe that Zhang Fei made this decision in order to pursue her.

”Did you decide this for Luo Yunxiao?” Qing Yi asked.

Zhang Fei immediately admitted that. ”Luo Yunxiao has always been on my mind, but I didnʼt make this decision entirely because of her. The heavenly fox race has started chasing me again, and sooner or later, they will arrive at our realm. So far, I have been able to defeat some cultivators in the Seven Divine Realms by relying on my speed, but I will not be able to continue relying on my speed, and I need a higher power to deal with them.”

”Why are you guys so serious?” Qing Yi and the others turned to Zhang Chen, who had just entered the mansion. ”Feiʼerʼs decision does seem rash, but you guys should know his character, and he would never make such a decision if he was not confident in his chances. I believe he has considered everything carefully, and I believe he will get through everything, so I support him in doing so.”

The women exchanged glances before finally agreeing with Zhang Feiʼs wishes. Hong Xinxin then spoke. ”Where are you going to make your breakthrough? You will break through three minor stages and one major stage at once, and your lightning tribulations will be too strong because of it. I think you should not break through in the Nine Stars Realm, and you should do it in another realm.”

”I will break through in the Nine Hells Darkland since there is not a single human there, but I will not bring all of you there, especially since it will be too dangerous.” Zhang Fei immediately stood up. ”I will prepare myself now.”

After Zhang Fei left for the Nine Hells Darkland, Zhang Lin asked the others. ”Do you think Big Brother will make it through?”

”Linʼer, you have to believe Feiʼer.” Zhang Chen answered her first. ”He is not weak, and he has considered everything carefully. His current strength and abilities have indeed surpassed many cultivators, but those heavenly foxes, especially their two ancestors, are more powerful than him. If he canʼt fight them, he will die at their hands, and I donʼt want that to happen.”

Qing Yi caressed her second daughterʼs head. ”Iʼm worried about him too, but your grandmother is right, Linʼer. We have to believe in Feiʼer, and I believe he wonʼt let us down.”

”Yeah.”

Hong Xinxin then walked out. ”Letʼs continue our training while waiting for Feiʼer to complete his breakthrough, especially since he will need our help to deal with those heavenly foxes.”

Meanwhile, Lin Moxian and Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already arrived not far from the Xianjin Realm. ”Senior brother, I plan to break through today, so we should find an empty place so I can break through in peace.”

”Huh?” Lin Moxian was surprised to hear that. ”Do you really want to break through again? The last time you broke through was a month ago, right?”

”Yes.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at him. ”I have five clones, and my cultivation has been stable for some time now. Moreover, I have many Qi reserves from my prisoners, so I will use them to break through today. However, I will not only break through to the 8-Star Earth Realm, but I will also directly break through to the Heaven Realm.”

Lin Moxianʼs jaw dropped hearing that, but then he shouted at him. ”Are you crazy? Breaking through three minor stages at once is already difficult to endure, yet you also want to directly break through to the Heaven Realm. If you fail to withstand your lightning tribulations, you will become a cripple, and your hard work all this time will end in vain. Moreover, you have numerous women by your side, and they will be in despair if you become a cripple or even die.”

”Senior brother, I wouldnʼt dare do it if I wasnʼt sure that I could face my lightning tribulations.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] replied with a soft sigh. ”I know your worries, but I really need strength to face my enemies, and I think that is the best solution for me.”

”Who are your enemies?”

”The heavenly fox race.” Lin Moxian just remembered that. ”Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing have sent their members to hunt me in the lower realms, and I have succeeded in defeating them. However, they also sent stronger foxes to hunt me in the middle realms, and I donʼt know their exact strength yet, so I have to prepare myself to fight them.”

Lin Moxian let out a heavy sigh. ”Since you want to break through several stages at once, we canʼt enter the Xianjin Realm now, especially since it will attract people there to come to us. I remember there is a small abandoned realm not far from here, so I will take you there, and no one will disturb your breakthrough there.”

”All right, letʼs go to that realm now, Senior Brother.”

Three hours later, they were already in the realm that Lin Moxian had mentioned before. The realm was too small compared to the Sky Jade Realm, but there were no living beings in it, so it was the perfect place for Zhang Xiaolong [3] to break through.

The two of them went straight to the highest mountain peak in the realm, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] sat in the middle alone. Meanwhile, Lin Moxian stood quite far away from him because he would rather not be affected by his lightning tribulations, which he believed would be extremely powerful. ”Are you ready to break through?”

”Soon.”

In the Nine Hells Darkland, Zhang Fei was already sitting on Lei Queʼs back. Tian Gongzhu and Tian Jianxia stood quite far from their location, wondering about his purpose in doing so.

Zhang Fei rubbed Lei Queʼs head and spoke to him. ”This breakthrough will be dangerous because I intend to break through to the Heaven Realm, so you must prepare for the worst. If you are unable to withstand the power of my lightning tribulations, you must tell me immediately, and I will send you back to the beast space.”

”Master, you donʼt have to worry about me. Your lightning tribulations will be extremely powerful, but I am the lightning bird. Furthermore, I am your beast contract, so I will accompany you to the end, and my cultivation will definitely break through several stages directly.”

”Yeah.” Zhang Fei looked up at the sky for a while before taking a deep breath. He then took out several superior-grade healing pills and placed them in his mouth so he could swallow them directly if he needed them to recover from his injuries later. ”Get ready.”

”Iʼm ready, Master.”

After he felt completely ready, Zhang Feiʼs fifth clone in the Yin-Yang Space began to absorb the Qi inside the glass tube.

===

[You gained 2,450,000 Qi.]

[Congratulations! Your cultivation broke through to the 8 Star Earth Realm.]

[You gained 6,000,000 Qi.]

[Congratulations! Your cultivation broke through to the 9 Star Earth Realm.]

[You gained 6,500,000 Qi.]

[Congratulations! Your cultivation broke through to the 10 Star Earth Realm.]

===

After the third notification appeared, Zhang Feiʼs fifth clone stopped absorbing the Qi inside the glass tube. The sky in the Nine Hells Darkland that was already dark became even darker, and countless lightning bolts quickly flashed up there.

Soon, an extremely strong pressure descended from the sky, pressing down on Zhang Fei and Lei Que. Naturally, Tian Gongzhu and Tian Jianxia also felt that pressure, especially since it enveloped the entire realm. ”Whatʼs with this pressure? What exactly did he do to provoke the wrath of the heavens?”
