Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1534: Meeting His In-Laws

”There’s nothing we can do, right?” Xie Yan turned to ask as she sighed. ”We want peace for our race, but Zhang Fei insists on us investigating Qian Yan’s domain, which is obviously impossible for us to do. Let alone investigate his domain, that demon beast god will immediately know of our presence the moment we set foot there, and he will eat us alive.”

Xie Yao agreed with his wife. ”If Zhang Fei were willing to loosen his conditions a bit, we might be able to fulfill his request. Unfortunately, he’s not willing to bend one bit, so there’s nothing we can do about it. Moreover, this valley and this domain will always protect us, so I think our race will be fine here.”

”Yeah,” Xie Yan climbed onto his husband’s lap again. ”Should we find another way to get Zhang Fei to agree to help us?”

”Another way?”

”I don’t know, but I think there must be another way to convince him.”

”You might be right about that, but I don’t have any other options right now, so we’ll figure it out while we have sex.”

”Alright.”

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaolong [3] was inside the mountain where Mo Tianshen and Morgana were in seclusion, but he didn’t show himself so as not to disturb them.

Almost four months had passed since Mo Tianshen inherited the remaining strength of the former Celestial Demon God, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] could feel his power and demonic aura growing stronger, even though he was still far from the level of his big brother, Mo Shentian.

After observing Mo Tianshen for a while, Zhang Xiaolong [3] left the place. He didn’t immediately leave the Endless Domain, and he was thinking about what else needed to be done to prevent evil cultivators from invading the Twin Flames Main Domain.

[Master, if you really want that, you must go to meet the Will of the Universe in the Era of the Beginning.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] agreed with the female AI because the woman was the only one who could do that. ”Do you think she would be willing to destroy those gates, Mei? The gates have been at the border for a long time, and all cultivators in the Paradise Realm use them to travel between domains, but they always bring trouble and endless war to all races. If those gates disappear, all domains will be scattered from one another, and everyone will need a long time to travel from one to another, which can reduce the trouble and war in this realm.”

[I can’t answer that, Master. You should meet that woman and discuss this matter with her, and you will get the answer you want. If she agrees with your request, you have to go to all domains to save their locations in the gate feature, so you can go wherever you want at any time and from anywhere.]

”That’s right.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened a gate and disappeared inside.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] arrived at the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary to meet his parents-in-law, and he found Huang Xiaoyi busy with Big Xingying and Chen Mengyao who were four and a half months and two and a half months pregnant. ”Your pregnancy is quite big now, sister-in-law.”

”Hehe,” Bing Xingying giggled. ”Isn’t this because of your help, brother-in-law? If you hadn’t helped me with your lust demon’s abilities, I might never have been able to conceive with my husband’s child since I’m a void spirit and he’s a human.”

”Have you checked your child’s gender?”

”A boy.”

”That’s good, isn’t it? My brother-in-law is the successor to my father-in-law, and a successor will be ready to replace him in the future.”

”Haha,” Bing Xingying laughed. ”Brother-in-law, why do you say that? Our father-in-law can lead this sect for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years, okay? Moreover, I’m still four and a half months pregnant, so that’s still too far in the future.”

”That’s true.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at Chen Mengyao. ”Although you’re only two and a half months pregnant, and we don’t know the gender of your child yet, I can sense a strong sign of life in your womb, Sister-in-law.”

Chen Mengyao nodded as she rubbed her belly. ”I really can’t wait to find out the gender of my child, Brother-in-law. Unfortunately, I still have to wait another month and a half for that, so I’ll patiently wait for that day.”

”I hope you will have a daughter, so our parents-in-law will be happy to have a pair of grandchildren.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked around. ”Where are my father-in-law and brothers-in-law? Why didn’t they accompany you?”

”Your brothers-in-law have become more diligent with their cultivation after their two wives became pregnant, and your father-in-law is speaking to the five ancestors in a special place.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] raised an eyebrow slightly when Huang Xiaoyi mentioned Luo Shiwen and the others. ”Why did you suddenly come here? Why didn’t you bring Yunxiao with you?”

”Yunxiao is in seclusion with my real body, and I’m using this clone to check on some things.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] sat in front of Huang Xiaoyi. ”Mother-in-law, I came here to discuss something with you two, and I need Sister-in-law Xingying to take me somewhere.”

”What do you want to discuss with us?”

”What do you think if those gates at the border were destroyed?” Huang Xiaoyi, Bing Xingying, and Chen Mengyao stared at Zhang Xiaolong [3] in shock. ”I know that the gates make things easier for everyone in this Paradise Realm, but their existence always brings trouble and endless war to all races. If they are destroyed, the domains in this Paradise Realm will be separated, like in the Three Mortal Realms, and each will be independent. Since the distance between each domain will be very far, the demon races will not be able to easily invade other domains, and they will need a long time to do so, so I believe peace and order will be more guaranteed.”

Huang Xiaoyi agreed with Zhang Xiaolong [3], but the gates had existed for millions of years or more, and all cultivators in the Paradise Realm were accustomed to moving from one domain to another freely. If all the gates were destroyed, and all the domains were separated by vast distances, then civilization would have to be rewritten. Moreover, not all domains were prosperous; some were quite backward compared to others, which would cause the people in those domains to suffer for an extended period before they could improve their circumstances.

Bing Xingying then said, ”Actually, this Paradise Realm used to be no different from the Three Mortal Realms, and those gates didn’t exist before the extraordinary events that occurred in this universe, so cultivators had to travel a long way to get from one domain to another. However, that was a very long time ago, millions or billions of years ago, so all the cultivators in this realm will probably have difficulty adapting to such a situation, especially those who live in lesser and backward domains.”

”Were these Paradise Realms truly separated from each other in the past, Xingying?”

”Yes, Mother.” Bing Xingying created several qi screens, showing images of the Paradise Realm in the past. ”I obtained all these images from the inherited memories of the previous void spirit, and she inherited them from her predecessor. Long ago, the Three Mortal Realms and the Paradise Realm were connected to each other, but something happened that forced this universe to form a barrier separating the two in order to prevent powerful cultivators from this realm from invading there. At that time, those gates did not exist in this realm, and they only appeared several million years later, so all cultivators in this realm had to travel manually.”

Helian Xueyi nodded slightly as she watched all the images that appeared on all those qi screens, not expecting that the Three Mortal Realms and the Paradise Realm had the same situation in the past.

”Does that mean the people of this Paradise Realm have to return to the culture of the past? Wouldn’t that mean everyone will experience hardship in the future?” Chen Mengyao asked.

”Sister-in-law, hardship is a part of life for cultivators, okay? If they are unable to overcome such hardships, they will never become accomplished cultivators, and they will continue to face oppression from stronger cultivators in other domains.”

Chen Mengyao didn’t argue with Zhang Xiaolong [3] because she was aware of it, but the impact of destroying the gates would not only affect renowned cultivators from powerful clans and sects but also lesser-known cultivators who might not have any ties to any sects or clans, and the impact would make them suffer greatly.

Huang Xiaoyi shared Chen Mengyao’s thoughts, but she felt that the situation would be better if all the domains were separated from each other. This would prevent evil cultivators and demons from roaming freely in other domains, improving the lives of the people there, even if they had to adapt to their new situation. ”Can we really do that, Son?”

”For now, this matter is still just my idea, and I don’t have an answer for it yet.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] turned to Bing Xingying. ”However, someone can give me an answer about whether my idea is feasible or not, and Sister-in-law Xingying can take me to that person.”

Huang Xiaoyi also turned to her daughter-in-law. ”Who exactly is that person, Xingying?”

”Mother, that person has no name or form, and she calls herself the Will of the Universe.”
