Chapter 494: Depart
In the Wasteland Realm, Zhang Xiaolong [3] was completely satisfied after spending quite a lot of time in Shang Xiaoyin's secret place. Unfortunately, Shang Xiaoyin and his two friends returned earlier than he expected, which made it difficult for him to go there again.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] was also disappointed that he couldn't bring all his wives, partners, and family members to cultivate there, especially since Shang Yaolin and Shang Xinyu were always with him during those days. However, he wasn't too bothered about it, especially since both women always helped him dig for precious stones in that place, so he had a large supply of precious resources for them.
Furthermore, Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s relationship with both women, particularly Shang Yaolin, was improving and becoming closer. Shang Xinyu was also getting acccustomed to his presence by her side, but she continued to feel curious about him, whether he will remain the same as the man figure in his dreams or not when he grows up.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaolong [3] decided to deepen his knowledge in the soul cultivation path under the guidance of the two senior cultivators. Unlike the other Shang Clan members, he is quite respectful of Shang Yingyue, especially since she has helped him so much, and she is his first partner in dual soul cultivation.
Moreover, her mental strength is so strong, and she continues to manage to hold herself back, even though he often teases her by using his demon abilities. In the end, he stopped teasing her and treated her as his senior.
Like Shang Yingyue, Zhang Xiaolong [3] also respected Qiao Liangren, especially since he was the one who introduced him to the soul cultivation path, and he was always sincere in guiding him.
In addition to them, Tie Xuan frequently visited the mountaintop to persuade Zhang Xiaolong [3] to join his Tie Clan, but he consistently declined his invitation. Two senior female cultivators, Miao Miao and Lai Minhua, also frequently visited to observe his progress, but he showed little interest in them, particularly in the second woman.
Instead, he was more interested in waiting for Murong Mengying, but she never came and only watched him from afar.

Day after day quickly passed, and a week had passed in all cultivation realms. Over the past week, Zhang Fei spent most of his time accompanying the seven women from Earth as he stabilized his cultivation, while his few women were occupied with carrying out his plans.
Shen Xueyi and Shen Yu opened Zhang Fei's new shop in the southern river city, and his new shop was not much different from the one in the heavenly sword city. At first, both shops only sold ordinary supplies from earth, such as mattresses, coats, and so on.
However, he decided to add various types of sex equipment to both shops, and their sales proved to be good, especially since there were too many couples who were dissatisfied with their partners, plus many of them had wild imaginations when it came to sex.
Since Zhang Fei was going to take them all to the Nine Stars Realm, Shen Xueyi handed over the shop in the southern river city to the members of the Shen Clan, and Liu Qingyu handed over the show in the heavenly sword city to the members of the Chu Clan.
Zhang Fei did not bother to travel back and forth between the two realms, as his fifth clone stayed on earth, and he managed everything with the assistance of Zhong Yan and Huang Rong's subordinates.
Zhang Lingxue was always occupied with alchemy in the deserted valley, creating various types of pills and potions related to sex and beauty. Zhang Fei chose not to sell all of them in the Sky Jade Realm, preferring to ask Huang Rong and Yang Lu'er to sell them on Earth.
He made this decision due to the higher value of cultivator items there, which allowed him to earn more money for purchasing items in the modern system shop.
According to Zhang Fei's orders, Liu Hua and the Wen Twins had already selected five women with the best cultivation and abilities of the demon fox group, and he sent them to his training space to prepare them for his future plans.
For Zhang Fei, the five women were just his subordinates, and he had no intention of dual cultivating with them. Even so, he still shared the dual cultivation technique he got from Shang Yaolin with them, and he also gave them his Yang Qi. He also gave the dual cultivation technique to all his family members and friends, so they would be more useful to him in the higher realms.
Zhang Fei did not forget to go to the Di Clan in the central region, especially since he needed better formation arrays for them in the middle realms. Initially, Di Xiong extended an invitation to become his disciple, but he declined as he had already made the decision to focus more on the middle realms.
Although Di Xiong was disappointed with Zhang Fei's decision, he still respected it, and he gladly gave him five high-grade intermediate formation arrays as a reward for his help in the demon cave. The five formations were the Eight Trigrams Spirit Array, the Five Elements Convergence Array, the Thousand Sword Array, the Frozen Heaven Array, and the Misty Phantom Array.
(A/N: I will put the explanation of these formations in the auxiliary abilities chapter.)
Zhang Fei naturally did not forget his cousin's relationship with Tang Susu, so he also brought Qing Tan to the Tang clan to propose to their daughter. His reputation and relationship with several large clans had already spread widely in the realm, so the people of the clan immediately agreed to his marriage with Quan Xun.

Early in the morning, people from the Liu, Zhang, and Ye Clans had gathered at Zhang Fei's residence as they were leaving for the Nine Stars Realm today. He also invited Chu Liuxiang and Yuan Manqiu to join them, but they refused his offer, and they wanted to spend the rest of their lives in the Sky Jade Realm.
Zhang Fei naturally did not forget the members of the Ming and Wang families who had stayed on earth for the past week, and his fifth clone immediately picked them up and sent them into the training space.
At first, Zhang Lingxue considered bringing members of the Di and Chang clans with them. However, Zhang Fei rejected her idea, as he didn't have a close relationship with either clan and didn't want them to know about his secrets, such as his training space.
Several leaders from the natural races were also there, such as Oliver the fairy race leader, Gravir the dwarf race leader, Persix the centaur race leader, Tanbar the gnome race leader, Sabina the Dryad race leader, Elmyra the elf race leader, and Yuhe the undine race leader.
Zhang Fei was most pleased with Elmyra's presence, especially since his main destination in the Nine Stars Realm was located in the natural races kingdom, and he hoped she could help him to get in touch with them more easily. After all, their emperor, Xian Lianghua, was an elf like her.
After they were all gathered, Zhang Fei immediately sent Huang Rong and the other six women back to Earth, and he asked the others to enter the training space, so it would be easier for him to bring them all to the Wasteland Realm before heading to the Nine Stars Realm.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wuji and Yan Zhixiu decided to go to the Netherworld Realm, especially since they needed the demon energy from that realm, and Zhang Fei himself still didn't know whether there was demon energy in the Nine Stars Realm or not.
Since there were no problems in the Diyu Realm and the situation in the realm was relatively safe with Morgana and the others there, Zhang Fei decided to bring Feltia [2]'s partners with them, such as Fyr, Eve, Leora, and Ashreth since they were demon cultivators.
He did not bring the Amaris Twins, Nadea, and Tessa, but his second clone sent them away to the Netherworld Realm along with Zhang Wuji and Yan Zhixiu.
Zhang Fei immediately used his invisibility before he entered the gate to the Wasteland Realm, and upon arriving there, he right away looked for an empty place before taking out the Pandora Odyssey. Once Mei activated the stealth feature and barrier on his flying artifact, he swiftly flew it out of the Wasteland Realm.
Even so, Zhang Fei's actions did not go unnoticed by Tianguo, but the divine beast still did not do anything, especially since he was still in his black dog form, which had a better character than his black fox form. "That brat certainly piques my interest, and I can't discern any distinction between his real body and his clone.
I don't know about his plans, but he seems to intend to go to other realms, and his clone continues to have fun with that human woman in this realm."

Zhang Fei immediately took all of them out of the training space after he left the Wasteland Realm. Since they had never left the Sky Jade Realm in their entire lives, they were curious about the journey they would take to reach the Nine Stars Realm.
Those people were immediately amazed to see the outer space, whether they were seniors like Zhang Long and the others or juniors like Zhang Fei [1]'s partners. They immediately spread out to each side of his flying artifact to admire their new experience, including the leaders of the natural races and female demons such as Ursula, Angela, Virgil, and others.
Although the people of the Sky Jade Realm hated demons very much, they did not mind the presence of demons from the Diyu Realm among them, and their relationship was actually good because they were members of Zhang Fei's extended family.
As usual, Xu Ling'er immediately asked Zhang Fei to carry her, and her eyes scanned the surrounding area in space, which was mostly filled with darkness. "Big brother, the people on earth will definitely be jealous if they know that we can go to space this freely, and we don't even need to spend money to build rockets and the like."
"Haha." Zhang Fei laughed upon hearing that. "After all, they are ordinary humans, and we are cultivators, so they can't possibly be our match. Moreover, the cultivation world still holds many mysteries that powerful cultivators have yet to solve, and many of those mysteries contain dangers."
"En." Xu Ling'er then turned to those people. "Big Brother, our family is really big now; even though many of them are your clones' partners, they are still our family, right?"
"You're right, Ling'er." Zhang Fei looked at each of them with a smile. The three of them are my clones, but they are still me, so they are part of our big family. Even so, they will never become the main members of my family, and they will continue to live with my clones in the future."
"Does that mean you will send all your clones to other realms in the future, Big Brother?"
"Yes." Zhang Fei then told Xu Ling'er about his plans for all his clones and their partners, causing the little girl to laugh out loud. "Aren't my plans good?"
Xu Ling'er nodded to Zhang Fei. "Your plans are indeed good, but I find it difficult to imagine the number of your descendants in the future, especially since their number is not small, and your family will definitely be the largest in this universe."
"Well, that's true." Zhang Fei's smile widened at the thought. "As the old saying goes, more children means more fortune, so I want to have many descendants from them."
Xu Ling'er immediately put her arms around Zhang Fei's neck. "Do you also want to have children with me in the future, Big Brother?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a while by Xu Ling'er's question, but then he kissed the little girl's forehead. "Back then, I have always regarded you as my little sister, but I have promised to marry you when you grow up, and Xue'er has also agreed to it, so I also want to have children with you in the future.
However, you still have to wait another seven years to become my wife, so you must continue to focus on your cultivation and training while waiting for that day to come."
"Hehehe." Xu Ling'er giggled and hugged Zhang Fei tightly. "Seven years is not a long time for cultivators like us, especially if we continue to focus on our cultivation. I will undoubtedly mature into a stunning adult woman without our knowledge, and you must accept me as your wife by that time, okay?"
"Sure, I will take you as my wife in seven years." Zhang Fei then brought the little girl to join the others.
Since it was their first time leaving the Sky Jade Realm, Zhang Fei let them enjoy their new experience first, and he would send them back to the training space after they were satisfied.

In the Netherworld Realm. Zhang Fei [4] decided to go to the dead forest after he sent Zhang Wuji and the other three female demons to Arbeola's place, especially since Orith had been gone for so long, but she still hadn't returned.
Moreover, Zhang Fei [4] also had a pending quest to explore the forest, so he wanted to complete it at once. However, he was not confident in completing the second quest to free the prisoner in the ancient sub-realm, who he believed was the true demon emperor of the Netherworld Realm.
Since he wasn't in too much of a rush with it, Zhang Fei [4] chose to fly normally to the Dead Forest, so he could complete the daily quest to kill the demons or demon beasts, which were increasing in number.
Meanwhile, Zhang Fei's two other clones, Zhang Fei [1] and Feltia [2], stayed inside the training space to cultivate and study the five new formation arrays he got from Di Xiong. Zhang Fei [5] remained on Earth, persistently cultivating his soul alongside Wang Xiaoyi and the remaining five women.

In the moon fox's sub-realm, Hu Gao stood in front of a young man with white hair and four tails behind him, but his expression looked annoyed as he watched his son, Hu Dong. Even though he had provided his son with many precious resources, and he had also been in seclusion for quite some time, he still had not succeeded in breaking through to the sovereign realm. 'This brat!
How could I have a useless son like him? If he wasn't my only son, I would have killed him for his uselessness!'
Hu Dong suddenly let out a heavy sigh and opened his eyes, but he was shocked by the presence of his father. "Why did you suddenly come here, Father?"
"You really are a useless son!" Hu Gao scolded him instead. "Despite all the efforts I've made for you, you still haven't succeeded in breaking through. How can you marry Hu Yue if you continue like this?"
"Hmm? What do you mean by that? Mine and Yue'er's cultivation are on par, and I'm sure she hasn't broken through to that stage yet."
"What a fool!" Hu Gao immediately kicked his son, causing Hu Dong to fly and slam into the wall behind him. "Hu Yue is much better than you! She has already broken through to the sovereign realm three months ago!"
As he held his painful chest, Hu Dong stared at his father in disbelief. "How is that possible? You have limited all the resources for Yue'er, right?"
"That's why you are a fool!" Once again, Hu Gao cursed at his son. "I have given you all the best resources in our sub-realm, but you can't make good use of them, and Hu Yue has surpassed you now! If you don't break through or surpass her soon, you will never be able to subdue her to become your wife.
Even if I force her to marry you, you will never be able to do anything to her, and she will dominate you."
"I'm going to see Yue'er now, Father!" Hu Dong immediately stood up and ran out of his cultivation cave, causing Hu Gao to let out a heavy sigh at his behavior.
