“So which realms will we pass through later? Are we also passing through the Holy Land of Sword?”

“Do you want to see Xuanyuan Xue’er?” Ling Xi asked in a teasing tone. “Back then, she was much stronger than you, but she has been cultivating and training in that realm for quite a while, and her cultivation has probably already reached the venerate realm or above.”

“En.” Ling Yun nodded to her. “Back then, our cultivations were too far apart, and I was too overwhelmed to fight her, even though we fought without our cultivation. However, everything has changed, and I have become stronger, so I want to fight with her once again.”

“Unfortunately, the Holy Land of Sword is located in the other direction, so we will not pass through that realm.” Ling Yun sighed in disappointment after hearing that, but Zhou Yu told him again. “You don’t need to be disappointed like this, and you will meet Xuanyuan Xue’er soon, so you can spar with her again, but you still might not be able to defeat her.”

“Oh?” Ling Yun looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, especially since he was confident that he could defeat Xuanyuan Xue’er.

“Your fighting abilities have indeed improved a lot, but you always train by yourself, and Xuanyuan Xue’er trained under the guidance of one of the best swordsmen in the universe.” Ling Yun nodded in understanding after hearing that, especially when he remembered about Jian Xian. “Not only her, but Xuanyuan Chang’er also trained with that woman, and her abilities too might surpass yours, so you shouldn’t underestimate them.”

“Xuanyuan Chang’er, huh?” Ling Yun’s expression seemed annoyed at being reminded of her, especially since their relationship had never been good because she had always been hostile towards him. He then opened the portal to the Yin-Yang Chamber, and his three clones walked out before being canceled by him, so he could absorb their experiences after training in the dream space countless times.

Ling Xi shook her head after seeing that. “You’re such a cheater, you know? In this entire universe, only you and Meng Xianzi can practice in such a way, but you are much luckier because your qi quantity is much greater thanks to your bloodline. That way, you can produce many clones at once, so you can gain more experience than her.”

“Haha.” Ling Yun laughed as he listened to his words, but he did not dispute the fact that he was indeed the luckiest person in the universe, which started from the accident that happened to him more than a year ago, or else he would never be able to become a cultivator, and he then pulled Ling Xi into a hug before kissing her lips briefly. “It was all thanks to you, remember? After that day, my life continued to change for the better, and I even had many wives who were loyal to me. Back then, I didn’t know anything about cultivators, but over a year has passed since then, and we are now in these upper realms, which my old self would have never imagined.”

“En.” Ling Xi then put her arms around Ling Yun’s neck. “I believe you will be even better in the future, especially after you complete your training in that tower. Even more so if you can reach the peak, and the secret stored there will be useful for you.”

“Are you sure that the secret at the top of the tower is related to the old dragon?”

“Yes!” The two spirit women answered in unison. “However, we don’t know yet which part of the primordial chaos dragon’s body is there, and we can only find out after you reach the peak.”

“Forget it; I’m interested in getting it as quickly as possible, but I also don’t want to rush into it, especially since those beasts will be afraid of me if I use my chaos dragon aura there, and that would be a waste of my purpose in going to that tower.”

They agreed with that, especially since Ling Yun’s aura could even make mythical beasts like Feng Bing’er and Feng Yujie afraid of him, let alone non-mythical beasts like the ones in the tower.

“Hmm?” Ling Yun thought for a moment before he used his clone technique again, but his clones increased from three to five now, which excited him. “Haha! After I broke through to the Upper Saint Realm, the amount of my qi increased significantly, so I can use two more.”

Ling Xi and the other women couldn’t help but laugh looking at their husband, but they felt pressured by Ling Yun’s progress, including Xiao Xiao, whose cultivation had already reached the god realm, and they felt more and more falling behind him, especially since he became more and more absurd with each cultivation breakthrough.

After he sent all his clones into the Yin-Yang Chamber, Ling Yun said to Ling Xi. “Hey, take me to see Lei; I want to check her condition.”

“All right.” Ling Xi immediately entered Ling Yun’s body and brought his soul into his soul space.

When they arrived there, Ling Yun saw his ten souls surrounding a golden seed with worried looks, and Ling Xi explained it to him directly. “After Lei gave his power to you, she turned into that golden seed, and she will be reborn from it. Unfortunately, the process will take a long time, so you can only be patient and wait for her to return.”

Ling Yun’s expression turned painful after hearing that, and he then touched the golden seed. “I’m sorry, Lei. My arrogance has made you like this, but I promise you, I will help you speed up your rebirth so we can be together again.”

However, Ling Yun was surprised when he felt his lightning qi being absorbed by the golden seed, so he channeled more of his lightning qi into it, which was greedily absorbed by it.

“Stop it.” Ling Xi said as she pulled Ling Yun’s hand back. “Lei is a lightning spirit, and she needs too much lightning qi to be reborn, so your lightning qi won’t be able to help her much. Instead, you will harm yourself if she continues to absorb your lightning qi, but you might be able to help her by using some other methods.”

“Hmm?” Ling Yun turned to Ling Xi with a questioning look.

“First, you can break through again, and you can channel the lightning from your lightning tribulation into this golden seed, which will be more beneficial for her. Second, we can ask for Zhou Yu to look for some lightning items in other realms, but I don’t recommend that because we need her to protect some of your women. Third, you can look for some items that have a high concentration of lightning qi, especially lightning beast cores, and they may exist in that tower.”

“I see.” Ling Yun nodded in understanding and looked at the golden seed again. “Wait for me, Lei. Once I’m ready, I will immediately break through again, and I will use the lightning from my lightning tribulation to help you. Besides, I will slaughter every lightning beast I will meet in that tower, and I will give their beast cores to you.”

Ling Xi sighed in relief because Ling Yun was not stubborn about using his lightning qi to help Lei Lin. “Let’s go out, and you can start cultivating with your wives again, so they will be better prepared to challenge the tower again.”

“All right.” Ling Yun immediately informed his wives of Lei Lin’s condition after he opened his eyes again, and they appeared sad upon hearing it. However, he then explained to them the solution that Ling Xi had previously conveyed to him. “I also want her to return to my side as soon as possible, but I can’t do anything right now, and I will wait until we arrive at the tower.”

“Don’t worry, Yun’er.” Feng Ruxue said as she took her husband’s hand. “Lei is our sister, so we will do whatever it takes to bring her back to our side as soon as possible.”

Xiao Xiao then joined in. “Since floors 1 to 30 of the tower are only for cultivators from the emperor realm to the venerate realm, I will immediately move to the 31st floor and above, and I will look for the lightning beasts on those floors; only then can we collect lightning beast cores faster.”

“En.” Ling Yun nodded in agreement with that, but he immediately reminded Xiao Xiao. “However, there is a possibility that Zhu Ling and Jing Shen will hunt us there, so you must not separate yourself from Shu’er and Mu Yan.”

“I know.” Xiao Xiao answered as she nodded.

Mu Shu then spoke to Ling Yun. “You don’t need to worry about Xiao’er, husband. Big Sis Yan and I will protect her, and we will take her as far away as possible if we meet Zhu Ling there.”

Ling Yun then looked up at Zhou Yu. “Your job is to protect Feng Bing’er and Feng Yujie; don’t let Zhu Ling do anything to them. As for Ruxue and Ling’er, Ling Xi will protect them.”

“All right.” Both spirit women nodded to him.

After that, Ling Yun invited his wives to dual-cultivate with him, especially since their journey was still long, so he didn’t want to waste time.
