Chapter 1845: Xie Zuzhou's Arrival
Chapter 1845: Xie Zuzhou's Arrival
Like the other immortals, Shen Ying was intrigued by the five little immortals. Since she and the others came into existence during the Immortal Era, the number of immortals had never increased, only decreased, and the birth of the five immortals brought a breath of fresh air to the immortal race.
Shen Ying was not surprised that Sheng Ming, Huang Xianren, and Dongfang Qinzhi decided to become Ling Yun's wives. However, Huang Hao's decision to become his wife really surprised her, considering her past feelings for Long Hun.
Shen Ying didn't know what happened before Huang Hao decided to become Ling Yun's wife and give birth to his twin sons.
When Hua Xianren contacted her a few months ago and offered to let her conceive Ling Yun's child, Shen Ying refused and said she was uninterested in it. However, her feelings wavered slightly after seeing the five little immortals, and she considered having a child with him.
Hua Xianren had already told Shen Ying that she didn't need to become Ling Yun's wife or have sex with him to get pregnant, and he could use another method to get her pregnant.
After all, there weren't many immortals in the universe, and the immortal race was the smallest compared to other races. Shen Ying was tempted to have a child with Ling Yun without marrying him or giving herself to him, so the immortal race's numbers would increase in the future.
However, Shen Ying didn't know that Ling Yun was unwilling to impregnate a woman who had no feelings for him, just like when he rejected Huang Lingzhu's request some time ago.
After chatting with the five little immortals for a while, Shen Ying went to the Eastern Garden to meet Huang Lingzhu. When she arrived there, Mai Lingyi had already begun studying the Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art, and she also found several other immortals there.
"Have you three formed your soul seas?" Shen Ying asked Mu Xianyu, Fen Hongyi, and Shiwang Zhizhu.
Mu Xianyu nodded. "Rebuilding our soul space and forming our soul sea is far more complex than I imagined, but we are lucky that Ling Yun left behind the proper method for it."
"If Ling Yun hadn't left that method for us, I wouldn't have had the courage to do such a crazy thing," Fen Hongyi added. "If our soul space is destroyed, we will become soulless living beings, and our hard work since birth will be lost forever."
"I feel like Ling Yun is much crazier than us." Shiwang Zhizhu shook her head. "To create that technique, he destroyed his soul space several times. Fortunately, Chaos was with him at the time and helped restore his soul space; without that assistance, he would not have succeeded in creating the technique."
Huang Lingzhu touched Shen Ying's forehead and imparted the technique into her mind. "We have tried to form our soul worlds, but none of us succeeded in forming them. Therefore, you don't need to try to form your soul world, and you can stop after you have formed your soul sea."
"Oh?" Shen Ying was surprised by that. "Did you fail to form your soul world? What made you fail?"
"My soul power isn't as high as Ling Yun's." Shen Ying was confused, as Huang Lingzhu was the strongest. "We only have one soul, and Ling Yun has twelve, so the difference in our soul power and his is too great a contrast."
Shen Ying had heard of Ling Yun's various advantages, yet she still did not fully understand him. He was the only living being to possess more than one soul; even Long Hun didn't possessed that many souls in the past.
After chatting with them for a while, Shen Ying started studying the technique, and she wanted to form her soul sea as quickly as possible.
Shiwang Zhizhu looked at Huang Lingzhu. "Do you need my help to fight against Xie Zuzhou?"
"If Xie Zuzhou comes to this domain alone, I don't need any help against him." Huang Lingzhu paused. "However, the situation will become difficult if Shijian comes with him, and I won't be able to use my strength and abilities if we are close together."
Shiwang Zhizhu nodded in understanding. "If you can't use your strength and abilities, you will definitely die at Xie Zuzhou's hands."
"If Huang Lingzhu dies, time will stop, and this universe will gradually disintegrate." Fen Hongyi added.
Mu Xianyu chimed in. "We have no other choice but to stay in this domain for the time being, and we'll leave after we stop Xie Zuzhou. However, the old devil is stubborn, and he will never stop before he kills Ling Yun, so he will never stop attacking this domain."
"Yes." Shiwang Zhizhu nodded in agreement. "I'm not afraid of Xie Zuzhou, but Shijian is a different story because she has the same abilities as Huang Lingzhu. If I fight with her, I will definitely end up the same as Yan Xian, Yun Xian, and Qin Dongwu."
Fen Hongyi glanced at Huang Lingzhu before teasing Shiwang Zhizhu. "Isn't it your luck if you fall into Shijian's hands?"
"No way." Shiwang Zhizhu shook her head. "I've never been interested in that kind of thing, so I don't want to fall into Shijian's hands. Since we'll be staying here, and Ling Yun is still in seclusion with all his wives, I'll go find his five children to teach them."
After saying that, Shiwang Zhizhu immediately walked towards the Western Area, followed by Mu Xianyu and Fen Hongyi.
Huang Lingzhu let out a soft sigh and looked at the other four: Bai Xuanyue, Liao Shuzhen, Mai Lingyi, and Shen Ying. "Only Ai Qing hasn't arrived yet."
.
.
.
Three days later, Ai Qing finally arrived at Yunlong Zhuzhai, but she was not alone; several other immortals came with her. They wasted no time and met Huang Lingzhu at the Eastern Garden.
After obtaining the technique, Ai Qing and the others immediately studied it before rebuilding their soul spaces.
A few days later, the other immortals also arrived at the Yunlong Zhuzhai, making the residence bustling again. They focused completely on rebuilding their soul space and forming their soul seas.
Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen had finished forming their soul seas, but they did not leave the Yunlong Zhuzhai; instead, they joined the others to train Ling Yun's children, not only the five little immortals but also his adult children along with their partners.
Unlike the others, Huang Lingzhu didn't train Ling Yun's children, and she was busy with other things. After all, Xie Zuzhou would arrive at the Forgotten Starfall Domain soon, and she couldn't track Shijian's whereabouts.
Huang Lingzhu was never afraid of anyone, but she was worried about Shijian. If the first Time Lord helped Xie Zuzhou attack that domain, she couldn't do anything to stop the old devil, so she prepared some things to prevent him from causing serious damage to that domain.

In the other domain, Ling Yun's clone and Jin Nanyi sat side by side by the riverbank, with numerous devil corpses lying not far away.
Ling Yun's expression turned serious. "Xie Zuzhou will soon arrive in our domain."
"Huh?" Jin Nanyi turned to him. "When will he arrive there, Husband?"
"Less than a month."
"Are we going back to our residence?"
"No need." Ling Yun shook his head. "Huang Lingzhu and several immortals live in our residence, and my real body will emerge from seclusion as soon as Xie Zuzhou arrives there, so we don't need to go back."
"What about Shijian?"
*Swoosh*
Ling Yun and Jin Nanyi looked at the woman who had just appeared in front of them. "Shijian is busy capturing soul cultivators, and she has captured many of them in the past few days."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun frowned. "Why is she capturing soul cultivators? Does she need something from them?"
"She absorbs their soul powers." Ling Yun looked at the woman coldly as soon as he realized something. "You are right, my father gave your soul technique to her. She had formed her soul sea, but she failed to form her soul world. She felt that her soul power was lacking, so she captured the soul cultivators and absorbed their soul powers."
Ling Yun exhaled softly and shook his head. "Chaos should have told her that her actions were pointless! I was the creator of that technique, so I knew that she would never succeed, and all those soul cultivators died in vain."
"They aren't dead."
"Oh?"
"Shijian did absorb their soul power, but she didn't absorb it completely, so they're still alive now."
Ling Yun nodded slightly. "Even if they're still alive, they're already useless. Normally, they can recover their soul power, but I'm sure they won't be able to recover that easily, and it will take a very long time for them to recover."
"What exactly is Chaos' purpose in doing that?" Jin Nanyi asked.
The woman shook her head. "I don't know the details of my father's plan, but I think he's doing it for Ling Yun."
"For me?" Ling Yun frowned again.
"That's right." The woman nodded. "I can't explain it right now, and you'll find out the answer when the time comes."
Ling Yun didn't comment on that matter, but he could more or less guess Chaos's plan for Shijian, and he hoped that his guess was correct.
.
.

Time flew by, and Xie Zuzhou finally arrived at the outer perimeter of the Forgotten Starfall Domain. However, he didn't enter the domain; instead, he examined the entire area using his senses.
Xie Zuzhou was quite surprised to see the long-abandoned domain filled with living creatures again. He was even more surprised to find that its inhabitants came from various races, including the demon race.
"Was that brat the one who gathered all these races in this domain? How did he manage to do it?"
