Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 712: System Level 6

A futuristic silver spaceship shaped like a swan floated in the middle of a realm far away from the three mortal realms, where there was only destruction. The spaceship was so enormous that it was several stories tall; its top was filled with trees and a vast lake.

In the spaceshipʼs main room, a young girl with two braids sat in front of a large screen, enjoying snacks like popcorn and watching various data and videos of a man.

*Tap... Tap...*

A mature woman in her thirties, whose long white hair reached the floor, approached the little girl. ”Isnʼt he the young man you accidentally killed that time, Xuanyuan Yue? Why do you keep monitoring him?”

”Yes, Auntie.” Xuanyuan Yue then pointed at the screen. ”Zhang Fei is a mortal from this universe, and I donʼt know his character, so I canʼt leave him unsupervised, right?”

”Thatʼs right.” The woman then read Zhang Feiʼs data. ”What do you think about him? Can he surpass the limitations of people in this universe?”

”Iʼm sure he can do it.” Xuanyuan Yue waved her hand, and the screen focused on Zhang Feiʼs data. ”He has only cultivated for more than eight months, but he has already reached the Earth Realm, and he will reach the Heaven Realm soon. Moreover, his beast form has evolved to six tails, and his demon form has also evolved once. The current him was able to win against a cultivator at the Seven Divine Realm, even though he had to use many underhanded methods.”

The woman nodded lightly. ”Zhang Fei really made good use of all of your gifts, or else he wouldnʼt have become this strong in just eight months, which means he has already surpassed the cultivators of his generation.”

”Thatʼs true.” Xuanyuan Yue then switched the screen to the incident in the fairy forest. ”However, I didnʼt expect that my decision to give that thing to Zhang Fei would trigger a series of events in his life, especially the prophecy left by the ten-tailed fox.”

”A prophecy?”

”The ten-tailed foxʼs writings reveal Zhang Feiʼs destiny as the peacemaker for all races in this universe.” Xuanyuan Yueʼs answer made the woman raise her eyebrows. ”Unfortunately, his path will never be easy, and there will be many powerful enemies coming to block it. Some of these enemies have already reached him, including the Heavenly Fox Race. Fortunately, he has a pretty good mindset, and he never hesitates to destroy his enemies down to their roots, or else he and those closest to him will suffer.”

”Even though it is cruel, killing or being killed is the law in the cultivation world. If Zhang Fei does not dare to kill his enemies, he will suffer the same fate as your father, and he will continue to face useless challenges like him.” Xuanyuan Yue laughed when she heard the womanʼs remarks about her father. ”Your father was too soft in the past, and he forgave his enemies too often, which gave him endless trouble.”

”Hehe.” Xuanyuan Yue chuckled in response. ”Auntie, my father will spank your ass if he hears you, and he will lock you up in the tower for months.”

”Even without me saying it, your lustful father will still lock me up in there, and he wonʼt give me a chance to rest.” The woman replied with a helpless sigh. ”What other information do you have on Zhang Fei?”

”Zhang Fei has met the will of this universe.” Xuanyuan Yue then displayed the events in that mysterious place. ”See that? That girl is the embodiment of this universe, and she summoned him of her own will, which has never happened before. She even gave the location of all the elemental seeds to him, so he could find them more easily. She also brought the will of the first living beings with her to meet him, and the ancestor of the giant race gave him the location of her past relics.”

”Thatʼs weird.” The woman muttered softly. ”Why did the will of this universe choose to summon Zhang Fei? Is there any clue about that?”

”No.” Xuanyuan Yue shook her head. ”Based on their conversation, the will of this universe only wants peace, and Zhang Fei is the key to that, so she deliberately summoned him.”

”Peace, huh?” The woman muttered to herself. ”Can peace really exist in all the universe, which is filled with greedy living creatures?”

Xuanyuan Yue shrugged, as she did not know the answer herself. ”For now, I will continue to monitor Zhang Fei, and we will know whether he can surpass the limitation or not in the future.”

”I hope that he will succeed in transcending that limitation.” The woman suddenly raised her eyebrows. ”Your father has just contacted me, so I must return immediately, and you must not venture into the lower realms during my absence. You have bestowed upon Zhang Fei numerous gifts, yet we must refrain from directly intervening in the affairs of this universe, lest it disappear. Do you understand?”

”I have no business there, so I wonʼt go there.” After the woman left, Xuanyuan Yue began to watch all the other events that Zhang Fei had gone through in recent times. ”Feng Yao, huh? She should be from that race, but I donʼt understand the reason for her to reincarnate over and over again, and she seemed to choose him for something.”1

[Ding]

[The system has been upgraded to level 6.]

[A new feature has been added.]

[The shop system has been upgraded.]

[The training space has been upgraded to level 3.]

[The Qi storage has been upgraded to level 2. Limit: 2,000,000 Qi.]

[The Qi Amplifier has been upgraded to Level 2. Effect: Fourfold.]

===

Zhang Xiolong [3], who was soaking in the wooden tub, immediately opened his eyes as soon as a series of notifications appeared in his mind.

ʼHmm? The Qi Amplifier will increase the Yin Qi I absorb and the Yang Qi I produce by four times, thereby accelerating our cultivation.ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] muttered in satisfaction. ʼWhat are the new features of the system and the training space, Mei?ʼ

[The newest feature of the system is the elemental chamber, Master. All of you can use it to learn and deepen your mastery of your respective elements, but it can only accommodate one person at a time, so you have to use it in turns. The last feature in the training space is the suppression feature, which has several levels that can help you improve your mental and soul strength.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in understanding. ʼBoth features are excellent, especially the suppression feature. If our mental and soul states were stronger, we would not be easily affected by attacks from mental and soul techniques.ʼ

[Your soul power is already quite high because you are a soul cultivator, and your soul will get stronger if you practice using that feature. As for your mental strength, it is still lower than your soul power, so you can increase both at the same time.]

ʼAre there any mental techniques available at the system shop, Mei?ʼ

[Unfortunately, there is still no such technique in the shop, Master. Even now, there are only the Heavenly Body Tempering technique and the Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art in the body and soul cultivation shops, which makes me think that the creator doesnʼt know much about some things. Why donʼt you give the body technique to all your wives? If your wives also learn this technique, you will all become unparalleled in this universe.ʼ

Zhang Xiaolong [3] rejected Meiʼs idea with a shake of his head. ʼThey are my wives and close people, but there are some other things that cannot be told to them. You might think Iʼm selfish, but I have to keep myself above them, and I can control the situation if something unexpected happens to them.ʼ

[Does that mean you will kill them if any of them betray you?]

ʼIs that even a question, Mei?ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked her back. ʼI killed Zhang He and Chen Xin, remember? No matter who they are, I will kill anyone who dares to betray me, even if they are my own family, and I will make them experience endless suffering before they die. Anyway, are there many new items in the systemʼs shop?ʼ

[There are a lot of new items, such as techniques, pills, equipment, and many other things. Most of them are heaven-grade, and some others are celestial-grade. Unfortunately, the price of the celestial-grade items is extremely high, and you donʼt have enough jewels to purchase them.]

ʼWhat is the cheapest price for celestial-grade techniques and equipment?ʼ

[One hundred million for equipment and fifty million for techniques]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] took a deep breath after hearing that. ʼMost of them havenʼt even reached the Earth realm, and they wonʼt be able to use celestial-grade equipment for now, so Iʼll buy them later. As for the celestial-grade techniques, each of them will definitely be useful for all my wives, so I will collect more jewels to buy them.ʼ

Zhang Xiaolong [3] hurried out of the wooden tub and dressed. He immediately returned to his room, but he found Wu Lianzhi still sleeping soundly on his bed.

[This little girl is getting attached to you, Master. Unfortunately, sheʼs still Xu Lingʼerʼs age, or else you could take her as a member of your harem, and her parents wouldnʼt mind that.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] responded with a bitter smile and then checked on the two women in the other room. Since Shang Xinyu and Shang Yifen were immersed in their cultivation, he immediately sat cross-legged beside Wu Lianzhi and began cultivating to complete the daily quest. Regarding the other quest, both the first and second clones have already left the training space to complete it.

Meanwhile, Hong Xinxin and Murong Qianying had just arrived at the Mai Clanʼs main hall, where a middle-aged woman with a beautiful oval face was waiting for them.

The woman possessed unique black eyes, as her pupils resembled those of a cat rather than those of a human. A tiara tied her long black hair at the back, while two long bangs fell to her chest at the front. A strapless and sleeveless blue dress covered her tall and slender figure, highlighting her perfectly defined curves and medium breasts. She crossed one leg over the other, showcasing her long and smooth white legs.

”Why did you two suddenly come here, Xinxin and Qianying?”

The womanʼs voice was too soft and melodious to intoxicate Hong Xinxin and Murong Qianyingʼs minds, but the two women immediately shook their heads vigorously to dispel the effect, and they hurriedly sat down on two empty chairs.

Hong Xinxin promptly questioned her. ”Mai Xiaomeng, you must have known the situation in our realm, right? I know you donʼt want to interfere in other regionsʼ affairs, but the problem will become more serious soon, and it may spread to other regions, which will also affect your Mai Clan.”

”Do you want me to join you guys?”

”Yes.” Hong Xinxin and Murong Qianying nodded to Mai Xiaomeng directly.

Mai Xiaomeng propped her chin on her hand and looked at them with a smile. ”Whatʼs my benefit if I join you two? In fact, Xi Hongyan has already come to me, and she gave me an offer that was too tempting to pass up.”

”Try this.” Hong Xinxin threw a bottle, which Mai Xiaomeng immediately accepted.

Mai Xiaomeng momentarily raised her eyebrows and opened the cap, but her reaction changed after she sniffed the contents. ”A manʼs Yang Qi? Moreover, I can sense this Yang Qi in your body, which means you have a relationship with its owner.”

Unlike Murong Qianying, Hong Xinxin did not get rid of Zhang Feiʼs Yang Qi from her body, especially since she was an unmarried woman. ”Youʼre right; I did have a relationship with that man. At first, I was crazy about Shang Guangming, but Iʼve changed my mind after meeting him, and weʼre in a relationship now.”

”Oh?” Mai Xiaomeng, who had known Hong Xinxin for decades, was completely shocked by her confession. ”Why did you give his Yang Qi to me?”

”You are a cat beast, and his Yang Qi is very precious to you.” Mai Xiaomeng cast a suspicious glance at Hong Xinxin. ”Hey! I wonʼt lie to you, okay? If you donʼt believe me, you can try his Yang Qi, and you will definitely know the truth of my words.”

Mai Xiaomeng gave a light nod and swallowed Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs Yang Qi in one gulp. In a few moments, she could feel his powerful Yang Qi in her body, and she stretched out her hand to Hong Xinxin, asking for more.

Hong Xinxin immediately gave Mai Xiaomeng another bottle, which she swallowed without the slightest hesitation. ”What do you think about my manʼs Yang Qi? Do you believe me now?”

”Your manʼs Yang Qi is truly precious, especially for a beast like me.” Mai Xiaoming said it with a nod. ”Who is that man? His Yang Qi is indeed powerful, but I can feel that his cultivation is not that high. Otherwise, his Yang Qi would be even more powerful, and no man would be able to match him.”

Hong Xinxin shook her head in refusal. ”I canʼt tell you his identity for now, but I can give you more of his Yang Qi as long as you are willing to join us. Xi Honghanʼs offer may be tempting to you, but I believe that his Yang Qi is far more tempting than her offer.”

”Hmm?” Mai Xiaomeng pondered as she gently tapped her chin. ”Your loverʼs Yang Qi is indeed much more tempting than Xi Hongyanʼs offer, but I wonʼt accept your offer if you can only give me a little. At least you have to give me a thousand bottles every month, and I will join you if you can fulfill my request.”

”Deal!” Mai Xiaomeng was surprised by Hong Xinxinʼs quick decision. ”Donʼt mention a thousand bottles. I can give you two thousand if you want, and itʼs no big deal to my man.”

”Are you sure about that?” Mai Xiaomeng doubtfully asked. ”Two thousand bottles of Yang Qi per month is a lot, and it will weaken your man.”

”Hehe.” Hong Xinxin chuckled. ”You underestimate my man, Xiaomeng. He is much stronger than you imagine, and none of our younger generation can match him. You may not believe me now, but you will know everything when you meet him in the future, and you will probably fall into his arms at that time.”

”Hmm?” Mai Xiaomengʼs curiosity grew upon hearing that. ”All right, Iʼm not greedy; I only need a thousand bottles of his Yang Qi. After you prepare them, you can contact me directly, and I will pick them up at your clan. Once I get them, we will begin our cooperation.”

”All right, Iʼll message you in a few days, and you can pick them up at my clan.” After they talked about some other things, Hong Xinxin and Murong Qianying immediately left the Mai Clan.

Shortly after the two women left, another middle-aged woman appeared in front of Mai Xiaomeng. She has silver hair and eyes, two cat ears, and a cat tail behind her hips. ”Are you really going to accept Hong Xinxinʼs offer over Xi Hongyanʼs?”

”Yes.” Mai Xiomeng nodded at her. ”Mai Yuzhen, I donʼt know the identity of Hong Xinxinʼs lover yet, but Iʼm sure heʼs not an ordinary beast, and he is probably a divine beast. Moreover, Iʼve tasted his yang qi myself, so I can tell you that itʼs much more valuable than all the items Xi Hongyan can give us. When I get his Yang Qi from her, you can taste it for yourself, and you will definitely think the same as me.”

Mai Yuzhen nodded in understanding. ”So what about our clan? Xi Hongyan wonʼt accept rejection, and she might attack us.”

”Order the others to pack up now, and we will leave this region as soon as possible.” Mai Xiaomengʼs decision surprised Mai Yuzhen, but she hurriedly left to carry out her order. ”Who exactly is that man? How did he manage to conquer Hong Xinxinʼs heart? Forget it! I will meet him one day, and I will know everything then.”

- To Be Continued -

This girl will not have direct contact with Zhang Fei, and she does not control the system. The system is like an automatic program that runs by itself.
