Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1313: Immortal Soul Crystal

Zhang Fei asked the assistants to leave before taking out the memory extractor device, and he displayed some of his memories through it. "My sect is no longer a dual cultivation sect but a universal sect, and our members come from various races now. Humans, beasts, natural races, demons, and winged races live side by side within it. Although they had difficulty mingling with each other at first, they gradually grew into each other’s presence."

"Husband, aren’t they—"

"Yes." You Ran nodded to Tan Yuxin. "One of them is the princess of the celestial dragon race, Tianshi Shengjie. The other one is Tian Yizu’s daughter, Tian Huangjin."

Tan Yuxin looked at Zhang Fei again. "How do you know them?"

"I met them in the Three Mortal Realms." Zhang Fei’s answer surprised both seniors. "I met Tianshi Shengjie in a realm, but I only met her avatar. I met Tian Huangjin when she was hunting Xereth there, and I helped her capture him. Since then, we have had a positive relationship with each other."

"What about those natural races?" You Jian asked, pointing his index finger to one of the screens.

Zhang Fei looked at the screen and explained. "I met all of them on three different planets in the Three Mortal Realms. Some of them came from the lower realm, where I started my cultivation path. Some others came from the middle and upper realms, where I met some of my other wives."

"Huh?" The four people looked at Luo Yunxiao and the others in shock.

"Haha." Wu Lianzhi laughed at their reactions. "Our husband has more than a hundred wives, and all of us live under one roof."

"Most of us have been together for almost three decades, so our relationship is incredibly close and harmonious, and much better than most people’s relationships." Xu Ling’er added.

Mu Lingshu and Ning Zhuan’er said nothing, simply nodding their heads at the four senior cultivators, making them feel strange about their relationship.

Tan Yuxin looked at Luo Yunxiao, who smiled at her. "Senior, we belong to our husband; we live and die for him. My parents have known about my husband’s relationship for a long time, and they don’t have a problem with it; otherwise, they wouldn’t let me marry him, right?"

"You’re right." Tan Yuxin nodded at Luo Yunxiao. "I know your mother’s character quite well, and she would never allow you to marry him if she didn’t know him well. So, back to the original problem, what did you actually discuss with our grandsons before? Why did you release your killing intent and bloodlust in our clan?"

You Jian immediately explained everything to You Ran and Tan Yuxin from the beginning until Zhang Fei released your killing intent and bloodlust, which caught both of their attention.

You Ran nodded in understanding. "Young man, we—"

"Senior, I don’t mean to lecture you, but I can tell you that this universe is far more profound than you can imagine." You Ran and Tan Yuxin looked at Zhang Fei seriously. "I can’t explain the details because you two must explore and understand everything for yourselves, especially about the heavens, the dao, and many other things. If you remain attached to such trivial worldly matters, you will be stuck in this situation for the rest of your lives; if that happens, how will you defy the heavens? The heavens are much stronger than you imagine because I have faced them too many times, and you will die if you try to defy them."

Zhang Fei replaced the images that appeared on the screen with his memories of when he faced all his lightning tribulations, especially those in the Moon Illusion Domain years ago. The manifestation of the heavens that appeared on the screen caused the four people from the You Clan to gasp in shock.

"I don’t dare say that I’m better than you as a living being because I still have some attachments to worldly matters myself, but I dare say that I understand some things much better than you." Zhang Fei pointed at the screen. "Everything you see in it is all the evidence."

"My sword is my Dao; the heavens shall tremble before my sword! One sword, one strike, eliminate all obstacles before me! If you block my path, you will die! Even if all the realms fall, my sword will remain!" You Ran recited Zhang Fei’s words that sounded from the screen.

Tan Yuxin also did the same thing with her husband, repeating Zhang Fei’s words. "Heaven gives birth to materials, Earth nurtures them, and Man refines them! Alchemy is not just about concocting pills, and it is a miracle from the heavens. My flame can burn anything, but it can also create anything! This is my Dao of alchemy!"

’Hey, Brother Jian, isn’t that golden beast the golden crow?’ You Feng noticed the bird that appeared when Zhang Fei and his five clones refined the lightning from his lightning tribulations.

You Jian nodded in agreement. ’You’re right, it is indeed a golden crow, which means this young man possesses its bloodline; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to use its golden flame.’

"Have either of you comprehended your dao?" You Ran and Tan Yuxin shook their heads at Zhang Fei. "That’s why I say free yourselves from those worldly chains, or you’ll never be able to see the depths of cultivation and the mysteries hidden within this universe. Dual cultivation path is a choice, and becoming dual cultivators is people’s right. Right or wrong has nothing to do with a person’s chosen path, and it comes from the person’s own mindset and character. Some dual cultivators are evil, but many universal cultivators are far more evil than them."

You Ran let out a heavy sigh. "Are you saying all this because of You Shiyan?"

"Not really." Zhang Fei denied with a shake of his head. "I say all this not because of one or two people, but for the sake of all the dual cultivators who have always been marginalized in this realm. I don’t think about being their savior, and I just want other cultivators to be more open-minded about us."

Tan Yuxin then spoke. "We understand what you mean, but you must know that changing traditions that have been passed down through generations is not as easy as turning over the palm of our hand, so—"

"Whether it’s easy or not is not the main issue, and the main issue is whether you want to change or not. There is a saying in my home realm that says ’if there’s a will, there’s a way,’ so the final result depends on you." Zhang Fei turned off the memory extractor and put it away before taking out a piece of paper and handing it to You Ran. "Senior, my original purpose in coming here was to search for these materials, and I wanted to use them to forge my new weapon, but I didn’t know if you had them."

You Ran and the others read the materials on the list. "These materials aren’t for forging a new weapon, but they’re more useful for upgrading a soul weapon."

"That’s right." Zhang Fei chose to admit it. "I have a soul weapon, but it is still a divine grade, so I want to upgrade it to the immortal grade."

You Ran nodded in understanding. "Unfortunately, we don’t have these materials in stock because some of them are very rare, and the price of each of them is exorbitant. If you want to get all these materials, you have to wait at least ten years, especially for the Immortal Soul Crystal, which is the most expensive among them at around one hundred million golden jewels."

"Fuck!" Zhang Fei instantly cursed after learning the price. "One hundred million golden jewels for one material is really too much!"

"Hahaha." Luo Yunxiao burst into laughter when she heard that. "Husband, I don’t understand forging, but the Immortal Soul Crystal is indeed extremely rare, and you need extra patience to obtain it. Even if you wait ten years, you might not be able to obtain one. Since the time it takes to find them is very long, you must be more patient while collecting golden jewels, and I will help you if you are short of them."

Zhang Fei let out a heavy sigh before speaking to You Ran. "Senior, please help me to get these materials, and you can contact me whenever you get one of them."

"Alright." You Ran handed the list to You Feng. "Bring it to our shop and order them to send people looking for these materials."

"Yes, Grandfather."

Zhang Fei spoke to them again. "All seniors, my business here is finished now, so I’ll take all my wives away because I still have to look for some other materials for formation arrays."

"Formation arrays? Do you want to go to the Fei Clan? Are you also an array master?" Zhang Fei answered Tan Yuxin with a smile, making her sigh helplessly. "The Fei Clan’s hatred for dual cultivators is even more extreme than ours because many of their clan members fell victim to evil dual cultivators in the past, so I advise you not to bring them to that clan. Additionally, you should avoid mentioning Fei Yinglin in front of them, or they will consider you an enemy and attack you."

"The situation at the Fei Clan is that bad, huh?" Zhang Fei muttered under his breath. "Thank you for your advice, senior. We’ll be leaving now."
