NOVPUBAfter Zhang Lingxue transformed into a demon beast, Zhang Fei [1] brought her to meet Tian Kui in the Demon Purgatory Realm, which made the old demon beast overjoyed. However, she didn't stay in that realm for too long, and he sent her back to the pavilion again.
Zhang Fei decided to stop dual cultivating with his other women, and he focused himself on helping Zhang Lingxue for the next few days.

Zhang Fei [5] had already arrived at the Evergreen Spirit Haven Realm, but he was not alone, as Hong Xinxin decided to accompany him to go to the Raging Thunder Realm. "You became a body cultivator a little over a year ago, but your body cultivation has already reached the fourth stage, and you've managed to obtain the lightning element."
"Haha." Zhang Fei [5] immediately took out Feng Jiu's flying artifact, took Hong Xinxin to board it, and flew it out of the realm directly. "If it weren't for you, I would never have become a body cultivator, and my physique would be much weaker than now. Although I have reached the fourth stage of body cultivation, I am still not satisfied because my goal is to reach the Paradise Realm, which is populated by countless powerful cultivators from various races. Even Feng Yichen is significantly weaker than those powerful cultivators, so I cannot stop my progress here; I must reach the Eight Body Gates before I can take all of you there."
"Yeah." Hong Xinxin replied with a nod. "All of us still have to improve ourselves, especially since the problems we will face will be even bigger after we go to the Paradise Realm. In recent times, we have relied too much on you, including the problems in the Red Sun Realm and Xereth. We cannot continue like this, and we must always strive to become stronger so we can help you face the problems that will come to us in the future."
Zhang Fei [5] released a soft sigh. "Don't worry, we still have a lot of time to prepare ourselves, and I'm sure we will be ready to ascend to the Paradise Realm when the time comes."
"I hope so." Hong Xinxin then asked. "Are you going to leave your clone in the Raging Thunder Realm?"
Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her. "The lightning element is one of the best attack elements with deadly power, and I can also use it for a wider range of attacks at the same time. Therefore, I want to raise my lightning element and elemental law to their peak, but I can only do it faster if one of my clones enters seclusion in that realm."
"You are right." Hong Xinxin then stretched out her hand and used her lightning element. "In addition to deadly explosive power and a wide attack area, we can use our lightning element to increase our speed. If you combine it with your wind element and your movement technique, no one will be able to catch up to you—not even Zhe Wuming with his void element. So, what kind of lightning techniques do you have now?"
"I don't have any techniques better than the Lightning Body Technique you gave me back then, so I won't bother with it." Since she was the one who gave the Lightning Body Technique to Zhang Fei [5], Hong Xinxin naturally understood its advantages. "The Nine Heavens Lightning Art has nine levels, from first heaven to ninth heaven, and each stage has its advantages."
"So, what's the grade?"
"The Divine Grade." Zhang Fei [5] touched Hong Xinxin's forehead and shared the Nine Heavens Lightning Art with her. "Read it first, and we'll start studying them once we arrive at the Raging Thunder Realm."
Hong Xinxin nodded in agreement, and she immediately sat down, reading the three techniques one by one.
"Phew." Zhang Fei [5] exhaled slowly and clenched his fists. "Just a little more, and I will break through to the 6-Star Heaven Realm. If my calculations are correct, and the six of us focus in our isolation, I should be able to break through to the Sovereign Realm in less than six months."
[If only you didn't busy yourself with all those useless things, your cultivation would have broken through to the Sovereign Realm long ago, Master. You have so many godlike cheats, but those problems keep distracting you from focusing on your cultivation.] Zhang Fei [5] responded to Mei with a wry smile, but he knew that the female Ai was right about that. [The flow of time in the training space is two times faster than the outside world, you also have so many women by your side, and the Qi Amplifier always increases their Yin Qi by four times. You have also obtained the Heavenly Bliss Pavilion equipped with the Boundless Yin-Yang Array, so the Sovereign Realm is already within your reach. If you fully focus yourself in your isolation, I'm sure you can reach the Quasi Divine Realm in no time.]
'You're right, Mei.' Zhang Fei [5] sighed heavily. 'The situation in all realms is relatively safe and calm, and all my enemies are also in seclusion. I don't know the extent of Xereth's injuries, but Tian Huangjin stated with certainty that he won't be able to move for a few years. Therefore, I won't think about those useless things anymore, and I will focus on my cultivation with the target of the Quasi-Divine Realm first.
[Master, Huoyun Zhiyan and the others are still in the process of concocting the True Foundation Pill, and it should be completed in another two and a half months if there are no obstacles. I don't know how many pills they will manage to concoct, but they will be able to speed up your breakthrough to the Sovereign Realm.]
Zhang Fei [5] gave a light nod. 'I hope they can concoct at least three pills; five pills would be even better.'

In the Paradise Realm, Huo Ling had already taken Feng Jiu and her parents to leave the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary, and she took them to the Flame Spirit Citadel.
Luo Yunxiao still wanted to talk to Feng Yao, but she couldn't stop her and her parents from leaving. After they left, she told her parents that she was going into seclusion, and she would not come out for decades or even hundreds of years to come.
Luo Fengyan and Huang Xiaoyi naturally understood Luo Yunxiao's intentions, especially after they noticed the existence of Zhang Fei's Yang Qi in her body. They didn't stop her and let her do as she wished, but they hoped that he would ascend to the Paradise Realm as soon as possible, or their daughter would wait for him too long.
With Huo Ling's speed, it didn't take them long to arrive at the Flame Spirit Citadel, even though it was in a different region from the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary.
The Flame Spirit Citadel itself is hidden within the scorched heart of the Blazing Inferno Mountains, and it is a fortress forged in the embers of a long-extinct volcano.
"What exactly is this place, Yao'er?"
Feng Yao immediately explained it. "This Flame Spirit Citadel was built by the Primordial Fire Spirit Clan after they tamed the Fire Calamity Beast, and the flame under this building was obtained from a small portion of the Eternal Flame."
"The Primordial Fire Spirit Clan? The Fire Calamity Beast? The Eternal Flame?"
"The Primordial Fire Spirit Clan has existed since the primordial era along with various other primordial races, and Huo Ling is one of their descendants. Unfortunately, many of them disappeared after the Primordial Era ended, and the current fire spirits are no longer as powerful as their predecessors." Feng Tian and Feng Jiu looked at Huo Ling walking in front of them in shock. "They have the ability to communicate with all types of flames, and the Eternal Flame is the first rank of the ten heavenly flames. The flame used to be in the Eternal Domain, and countless fire cultivators always crowded the domain. Unfortunately, the flame suddenly disappeared without a trace, causing the Eternal Domain to eventually become forgotten as almost no living beings visited it anymore.
"How do you know about all that? Did you live in the Primordial Era?" Feng Yao just smiled at Feng Jiu, who could only sigh. "Is the Fire Calamity Beast still alive?"
"The Fire Calamity Beast is an immortal rank beast and powerful, so it is still alive today, and it lives far below this citadel." Feng Jiu and Feng Tian were shocked again, especially since there were no immortal-rank beasts in the Three Mortal Realms. "There are countless immortal rank beasts in this realm, including immortal rank phoenixes. All of them live in the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain, under the leadership of the five-clawed golden dragon emperor, Long Wuzhao."
Feng Tian and Feng Jiu almost fell over after hearing that, especially since they themselves were fire phoenixes, but they had never managed to reach the immortal rank, including their ancestor Feng Shen.
"Hehe." Feng Yao chuckled at that. "To become immortal rank beasts, you two need the Celestial Qi. Therefore, you don't have to be disappointed by that because you are already in this realm now, and you will be able to reach that rank in the future."
"Does Taotie also live in this realm?"
"There are two beast domains in this realm, one of which is the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain. The other one is the Ten Thousand Beast Grave, where Taotie and the other three evil beasts live." Feng Yao then explained to her parents several other things, but she didn't talk about the two primordial beasts.
Sometime later, they arrived at the lowest part of the Flame Spirit Citadel, where the fire pool was located.
"Master, you should soak here too."
"I know." Feng Yao then led her parents into the fire pool. "Even though this flame is only a small portion of the Eternal Flame, it is more than enough for the three of us, and we will stay here until the two of you have broken through to the 1-Sun Celestial Lord. Thereafter, I will take you two to the Blazing Nirvana Domain, and we will stay there until Zhang Fei ascends to this realm."
"All right."
Feng Yao looked up at Huo Ling. "You can go see them."
"No need." Huo Ling replied with a shake of his head. "They never liked me, and I don't care about them either."
"Up to you, then."

[Ding]
[The system has already recorded the Raging Thunder Realm, and the host can access it through the gate in the future.]
[Starts mapping the entire area of the Raging Thunder Realm.]
===
After three days of travel, Zhang Fei [5] and Hong Xinxin finally arrived at the Raging Thunder Realm, and it was quite similar to the Scorching Earth Realm, but what differentiated the two realms was the countless lightning that continuously struck down from the sky throughout the entire area of the realm.
Even though the sky in that realm was never calm and lightning constantly struck down from behind the clouds, countless lightning cultivators from various realms filled the planet to improve themselves. Apart from them, there are quite a lot of powerful lightning beasts living inside, such as the Storm-Eyed Drake, Azure Lightning Wolf, and many more.
"So, where are we going to cultivate?" Zhang Fei [5] asked.
Hong Xinxin immediately pointed in one direction. "The Lightning Essence Pool is located in that direction, and it is the best place for lightning cultivators to cultivate. However, that place is too crowded right now, so we will go to another area that is no less good than that place, and no one will disturb us there."
"Show me the way."
A while later, they had arrived at their destination, and Hong Xinxin pulled Zhang Fei [5] to the entrance to a gorge filled with thunderstorms. Usually, we have to use artifacts to pass through this place, but since our purpose in coming here is to train, I will not use them this time, and we will cross them on foot."
"I don't have a problem with that." Zhang Fei [5] then looked at some of the surrounding areas. "Why don't any of them come here? Is there anything special in this place? Even those lightning beasts seem to avoid this place."
"According to the folklore, there is a powerful lightning beast living in this Thunderfall Gorge, so no humans or beasts dare to approach this place." Zhang Fei [5] raised an eyebrow at Hong Xinxin, who immediately shook her head. "I have trained in this place countless times in the past thousands of years, but I have never encountered the beast. Therefore, I have doubts about its veracity, so you don't need to think about that, and we will focus on training here."
Zhang Fei [5] immediately asked Mei to check the area, but the female AI also couldn't find the presence of the beast in that folklore.
"Aren't you going to bring the others here?" Hong Xinxin asked when Zhang Fei [5] wanted to enter the place. "Their mastery of the Heavenly Lightning Body Technique is already quite high, so they can train here with us. If they reach their limit, you can send them back to the pavilion to dual cultivate with your main body."
Zhang Fei [5] thought about Hong Xinxin's idea for some time before summoning several women from the training space, such as Zhong Yan, Ye Lian, Angela, and those with the lightning element. "Let's go in! We'll stay here for the next few months."
.

Since Zhang Fei's fifth clone set off for the Raging Thunder Realm, three months had passed in the outside world and six months in the training space.
All of his first clone's partners had turned into demons, and he divided their time between normal cultivation and dual cultivation with him. They cultivated normally in the Demon Purgatory Realm, and they dual cultivated in the pavilion, as did the partners of his other clones.
As he expected, his cultivation broke through to the 6-Star Heaven Realm two months ago, and his foundation was almost stable again in preparation for the 7-Star Heaven Realm.
In addition, Zhang Fei's lightning element and elemental law had already reached the intermediate stage, which was thanks to his fifth clone, who was focused on practicing and cultivating in the Raging Thunder Realm. Not only he, but the cultivation of all his women also experienced significant improvements, especially his five clones' partners.
Zhang Fei never wanted his five clones' partners, servants, and slaves to be on his partner list. However, he changed his mind three months ago due to circumstances, and he added them to the list to speed up their cultivation, especially since he could remove their names whenever he wanted.
Apart from focusing on his cultivation, Zhang Fei also built relationships with all the female beasts living in the beast space over the past three months, but he used one of his clones to meet them from time to time.
Zhang Fei often sent one of his clones to Earth to replenish the stock of his three shops there, and he also purchased Earth items for all of his shops in several realms. The small town he had planned in the Nine Stars Realm had also been completed two months ago; he moved all his shops and restaurants in that realm to that small island, where everything was managed by people from the four kingdoms.
Zhang Fei also monitored the progress of the people he sent to the various planets in the lower and middle realms, but they had only managed to establish their positions on a few planets in the past year or so. After all, the distance between each planet was quite far, and they had to work hard to persuade the people from those planets.
About a month and a half ago, Yuan Tianling informed Zhang Fei that she and her family were already in the Frozen Moon Realm, and she asked him to wait for her return from the Moon Tower.
[Master, it's time for you to go to the Alchemy Union; Huoyun Zhiyan and the others should have finished concocting the true Foundation Pill.]
.
.
.
Zhang Fei [1] had already arrived at the Alchemy Union, and he immediately met the three former leaders of the organization. "How did it go?"
"These are the pills, master."
"Hmm?" Zhang Fei [1] immediately took the three pill bottles from Huoyun Zhiyan's hand and checked the inside. "Six advanced-grade and two superior-grade pills, huh? Who concocted these superior-grade pills?"
