Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1096: The Moon Illusion Domain

After he had fun with Zhu Shanniang, Zhang Fei went straight to the training ground and used the environment control feature to create the harshest environment, especially since he wanted to master the Tyrant Body Refinement Scripture as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaolong [3] decided to take his two wives, Xie Jingxian and Ba Shuxiang, out of the Life Pond. He then took them to meet Ren Shuo and the others, informing them that he would bring his two wives back to his training space.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] did not take Ren Shuo and the others back there; instead, he asked them to focus on helping Qian Chaoying and the others. Although the elf race became his family after marrying Qian Shuang, he did not want to bring them to the training space because he believed their souls were not truly good and that Jin Zhongli’s training was currently sufficient for them.

Thereafter, Zhang Xiaolong [3] brought his two wives to meet Serpentera and Tian Kui, who were satisfied after they sensed that his cultivation had already reached the 1-Moon Divine Fusion Realm. Even so, it still wasn’t enough for him, and he still had to catch up to the Five Celestial Realms.

”Before that incident, your cultivation was still at the Divine Expansion Realm, and you’ve already reached the Divine Fusion Realm, which means you’ve broken through two major stages directly,” Tian Kui spoke, nodding his head a few times.

However, Zhang Xiaolong [3] showed no satisfaction at all. ”My cultivation could actually be even faster, but I deliberately held back to help all my wives, and all of them have reached the Seven Divine Realms, except for these two women by my side. Additionally, the last incident made me feel so weak, so I didn’t focus too much on my cultivation, and I was more concerned with honing and developing my fighting skills.”

”I think that’s a good choice, kid.” Serpentera spoke. ”High cultivation is useless if your fighting skills are mediocre; you have to balance the two and develop them at the same time. I know your training space has many advantages that can help you improve, but I think you should improve yourself by facing other living beings. Since you live in the Empyrean Main Domain, you can try going to the Moon Illusion Domain.”

”The Moon Illusion Domain?”

”The Moon Illusion domain, where moonlight weaves illusions. Reality becomes illusions, but illusions are also reality.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] raised an eyebrow slightly after Serpentera said that. ”Even though the situation in that domain is quite terrifying, many cultivators in the Paradise Realm test their abilities there, especially to increase the sharpness of their instincts and senses. Many of them managed to return, but many of them ended up dying there.”

”So, you mean there is no boundary between illusion and reality in that domain?”

”Yes.” Serpentera then explained. ”That domain is illuminated by a silver moon that hangs unnaturally large in the sky, casting shimmering reflections across the domain, creating many powerful illusions. Once you set foot in that domain, you will find it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, as the illusion you will encounter there could be either an illusion or a reality’. Even if it really is an illusion, it is much stronger than the ones you have encountered so far, so you must exercise caution while you are there.”

Although Zhang Xiaolong [3] had long ago mimicked the Illusion Negation ability from the Black Amaris, he did not dare to underestimate Serpentera’s warning, especially after experiencing the horror of cultivators in the Paradise Realm. ”Old Snake and Old Kui, I will take them away now, and I will pick you two up after I come out of my seclusion.”

”What about the three old men, Kid?” Tian Kui asked him.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked towards the location of the Tian, Shi, and Huang Clans before answering him. ”They are strong, but they are no longer my match even if I don’t use my ability to borrow the strength of other beasts. Therefore, I no longer want to think about them, and I will focus myself completely on facing the situation in the Paradise Realm, so you can do whatever you want with them.”

After he said that, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately took Ba Shuxiang and Xie Jingxian to the training space, especially since the progress of the two of them was more than four years behind his other woman.

”Should we do something about those three old men, Old Snake?”

Serpentera nodded to Tian Kui. ”Back then, I didn’t want to make a move on them and waited for that kid’s decision. Since he’s already made up his mind about them, we’ll make a move now, and I’ll erase most of their memories, especially their memories of him.”

”Let’s do it then.”

As soon as they arrived at the pavilion, Zhang Xiaolong [3] went straight to the alchemy room to meet Luo Yunxiao, who was there with Zhang Lingxue and the others.

”Oh? Why did you bring this third clone of yours back here? Aren’t you going to continue cultivating in the Life Pond?” Luo Yunxiao asked him.

”I think I’m wasting too much time cultivating there, so I brought this clone back. I’m going to find another place to improve my water element, elemental law, and body technique.” Zhang Xiaolong then asked her. ”What do you know about the Moon Illusion Domain, Yunxiao?”

Luo Yunxiao immediately pointed out it to Zhang Xiaolong [3], but her explanation wasn’t much different from Serpentera’s earlier. ”Are you thinking of going to that domain?”

”Yes.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. ”I want to go to that domain, but not now, and I will go there after my cultivation reaches the Five Celestial Realms.”

”Hehe.” Luo Yunxiao giggled. ”I’ve also wanted to go to that domain for a long time, but my parents never allowed me to go there. However, my situation has changed now that I’m your wife, and I’ll accompany you to that domain in the future.”

Zhang Lingxue immediately spoke to him. ”Fei, I’ll also go with you to that domain. Ever since we left the Sky Jade Realm, I’ve concentrated on my cultivation and training, rarely engaging in actual combat with real opponents. The only opponents I’ve faced are those creatures in the Star Tower, which makes me feel that my fighting ability is too dull, so I want to hone it again.”

”Big Sis Lingxue is right, Fei.” Chu Ying joined in. ”It’s true that we can train with Senior Hun Di and the others, but that’s different from fighting real enemies. Thus, I also want to go to that domain to improve myself, and I’m sure the other sisters also have the same thoughts as us.”

”I’m in!” Chu Qing and Ning Zhuan’er raised their hands.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded to them. ”The entrance to the Forgotten Land will open in three years and ten months, but I won’t be going there using my real body; instead, my real body will bring all of you to the Moon Illusion Domain. However, you guys must work hard to raise your cultivation as high as possible first, so you all won’t experience any big problems there.”

”Alright, we will work hard in our cultivation.” Thereafter, Zhang Lingxue and the others continued their alchemy.

On the other hand, Zhang Xiaolong [3] joined his two wives, Ba Shuxiang and Xie Jingxian, in their room, where he dual cultivated and dual-soul cultivated with them.

After that day, Zhang Fei and everyone else ignored the affairs of the outside world and focused entirely on their training and cultivation inside the training room.

After a long time, Tian Baitian finally completed his dao test and opened his eyes, but he seemed confused by his surroundings.

Tian Baitian immediately looked at his sister, who had just walked in. ”Where are we now? Why can’t I sense your cultivation?”

”Brother, we’re in the Illusion Spirit Fox Domain, one of the domains in the Paradise Realm.” Tian Baitian was utterly shocked after Tian Baixing mentioned this, prompting her to explain the situation to him. ”I still can’t believe that fox is one of our ancestor’s souls. He taught me to transform my Divine Qi into the Celestial Qi, and my cultivation has broken through to the 2-Sun Celestial Lord in the past six and a half months.”

Tian Baitian then asked her. ”Where is our ancestor now?”

”I don’t know.” Tian Baixing shook her head in reply. ”Our ancestor never showed up again after he brought us here, and I’ve tried looking for him everywhere, but I couldn’t find him.”

”That kid arrived in this realm much longer than we did, but our ancestor didn’t tell me his location.” Tian Baixing then informed his brother about their ancestor’s past actions regarding Zhang Xiaolong [3], but Tian Baitian became furious when she revealed that their ancestor had chosen him as his successor. ”Why? Why did our ancestor choose that little bastard over us, who are his direct descendants?”

”I’ve asked our ancestor about the matter, but he said he didn’t choose that kid. Instead, he said that a hidden power, which surpassed him, was responsible for choosing that kid, and he merely followed its decision. However, he didn’t explain the hidden power to me in detail, especially since he himself didn’t understand it. According to him, our cultivation, this universe, the laws, the Dao, the Heavens, and many others are all part of that hidden power.” Tian Baitian frowned in response, as he did not understand what their ancestor meant. Tian Baixing then spoke to him again. ”Alright, you don’t have to think about him, and I will teach you the method to transform your Divine Qi into the Celestial Qi; thus, you can continue your cultivation to break through to the Five Celestial Realms.”

Tian Baitian nodded slightly. ”Teach me now! Once my cultivation breaks through to the Five Celestial Realms, I’ll find that little bastard and kill him instantly.”

”Sigh.” Tian Baixing let out a soft sigh. ”Brother, you can forget about that, especially since we can’t leave this domain without our ancestor’s permission. There are many fox races here, including the Ancient Spirit Fox Race. I’ve gotten to know quite a few of them, and they told me that this domain has been sealed for a long time. They said that it had something to do with events in the past, and they have never been able to leave this place since then.”

”Hmm?” Tian Baitian frowned again. ”If that’s true, how could our ancestor bring us into this domain?”

Tain Baixing shook her head slightly and touched Tian Baitian’s forehead, imparting the method to him. ”Learn it first, and I will guide you once you understand everything.”

”Yeah.”

With their busy schedules, time passed quickly for them, and a year has passed in the training space (Around three months outside). The following year, Tang Ying had reached the Five Celestial Realms. She wanted to leave the training space and explore the paradise realm, but Zhang Fei asked her to stay because he still needed her help to increase his soul cultivation level.

Tang Ying eventually decided to stay, especially after Hun Di and the others persuaded her. Although her cultivation had reached the One-Sun Celestial Lord realm, they believed she couldn’t possibly explore the Paradise Realm alone, and they asked her to wait for them to reach that realm first.

During the past year, Xu Ling’er turned 18 years old and Wu Lianzhi turned 19 years old; therefore, Zhang Fei decided to take them as his harem members.

Although he initially had no interest in Sha Huoyan and Shao Yunzhi, Zhang Fei eventually became intimate with both female beasts. They joined him when he dual cultivated with Xu Ling’er and Wu Lianzhi, but he didn’t actually dual cultivate with both female beasts, mainly because of their high cultivation.

Sha Huoyan and Shao Yunzhi themselves are mythical beasts, just like Feng Yichen and the others, making their number of beast essences as large as theirs, which is very useful for Zhang Fei, especially since his beast form still requires numerous beast essences to evolve to nine tails.

(A/N: I decided to speed up their seclusion, and they will start their true journey in the Paradise Realm soon.)
