Ling Yun’s clone paid attention to Shangguan Qinglan’s expression, and he could see that she had become lustful because of the lust challenge. Her breathing became rapid as her breasts heaved up and down, followed by low moans escaping from her mouth.

"Even a female spirit like her can’t escape the temptation of lust, huh?" Ling Yun abandoned his intention to help Shangguan Qinglan, but she shot her void element at him, which immediately enveloped her in a thick mist, preventing male cultivators from seeing her. "Let’s continue."

As soon as Ling Yun moved to the next stage, a new challenge immediately appeared and sent him to another area.

When he arrived there, Ling Yun faced his other self in his chaos dragon form.

"Power and pride, huh?" Ling Yun flinched slightly when his enemy released his aura, but it didn’t affect him much because he himself was the heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, and Long Hun’s soul was within his soul space. "What a useless challenge! If you think you can scare me, then you’ve made a big mistake because I’ve never been afraid of myself, at least not after everything I’ve been through in the Mysterious Tower! If you show your power and pride, then I’m more prideful than you! Begone and stop wasting my time!"

Upon returning to the third floor, Ling Yun immediately proceeded to the next few challenges, which involved sloth, envy, jealousy, and wrath. However, he was able to pass them without any difficulty, and he immediately went to the next challenge, which was the lust challenge.

When Ling Yun arrived at the challenge, many naked women who had no serious relationships with him appeared there, including Huang Hao, Huang Lingzhu, Shangguan Qinglan, and many others.

"Hmm?" Ling Yun rubbed his smooth chin. "Their bodies are indeed attractive, and I wouldn’t refuse if I could have them. Unfortunately, they are just illusions, and I have many women who are just as beautiful or even more beautiful than them by my side. So, stop this challenge because I won’t be swayed by them."

.

.

.

"Phew." Ling Yun exhaled softly, but he saw many cultivators looking at him with curiosity and suspicion. They had to struggle hard to complete all those challenges, but he managed to do so easily.

Ling Yun ignored them and looked at Shangguan Qinglan, who still hadn’t completed her lust challenge and appeared to be having increasing difficulty passing it.

"As long as you can’t control your lust, you’ll never be able to pass the challenge. Unlike you, I have dozens of women by my side, and the beauty of some of them is unmatched, so such an illusion has no effect on me." Ling Yun looked at the next challenge area, but he felt that all the challenges in the Trial Tower were completely useless for him, as Chaos said before. "Sigh! Since I’m already here, I’ll take a look at all the remaining challenges, and I’ll brief all my wives about them."

Taiyi Guang, who had just completed the previous challenge, looked at Ling Yun with hatred, especially after he threatened him earlier.

Tian Guang considered attacking him, but he thought again, reconsidering Ling Yun’s previous actions. ’Who is he exactly? How could he have done that before? His cultivation is only at the Venerable God Realm, yet he scared me to such an extent.’

Tian Guang sighed and chose to forget his hatred for Ling Yun, as he was truly afraid of dying at his hands, even though he was several times stronger than him. He looked towards Shangguan Qinglan, but he couldn’t see her figure due to the thick mist that enveloped her.

’What is she doing? Where does that thick mist come from? Why does it just cover her?’ Tian Guang shook his head slightly and went straight to the next challenge.

As in the previous challenge, Ling Yun also didn’t experience any problems in the current challenge, and he was able to solve it easily. He wasted no time and continued on to the next challenges until he successfully completed them all, making all the cultivators present envy him.

After completing all the challenges on that floor, Ling Yun sat in last place and looked at Shangguan Qinglan, who still hadn’t succeeded in passing her lust challenge.

Ling Yun observed a thin light suddenly enveloping Shangguan Qinglan’s body, causing her to vanish from the third floor instantly. "Hmm? She failed, huh?"

Since he had completed all the challenges on the third floor, Ling Yun decided to leave the tower. As for his children, he wasn’t worried about them because they had their beast contracts to protect them. Furthermore, An Yufei and the others were also by their side, and they could help the female beasts protect them.

"Sigh!" Shangguan Qinglan let out an exasperated sigh after she arrived outside the tower. "I’ve failed that challenge countless times, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to pass it."

"Your mistake was that you gave in to that illusion." Shangguan Qinglan turned to Ling Yun. "All the challenges that appeared on the third floor were just illusions to test our mental strength, so you shouldn’t have submitted to them."

"Have you completed all the challenges in the tower?"

Ling Yun nodded slightly. "From the start, all the challenges in the tower were useless to me because I’ve already gone through things far harder than those illusions, so they were useless to me."

"Then, why did you challenge the tower if all the challenges were useless to you?"

Ling Yun pointed to the tower. "My children and their wives are over there, and they’re on the second floor right now, so I came here to check on them. Besides, I wanted to confirm whether all those challenges would be useful for my wives, and I’ve found the answer now, so I’ll bring them here in the future."

"How many children do you have?"

"I have twenty children, but most of them are still young, so I don’t allow them to follow their siblings to this domain." Then, Ling Yun asked her, "Do you want to go out with me now? Aren’t you going to tell your friends first, especially Taiyi Guang?"

"Hmm?" Shangguan Qinglan furrowed her brows. "Why are you asking about Taiyi Guang?"

Ling Yun shrugged. "He previously threatened me not to approach you, so I thought he was your admirer."

Shangguan Qinglan massaged her forehead. "Taiyi Guang is the son of my sect master, and he has confessed his love to me for a long time, but I have always rejected him. I am a spirit, and he is a human, so we cannot be together."

"Hehe," Ling Yun chuckled. "I know about the rules of the spirit race because the Spirit Emperor once tried to kill me when he found out that I was in a relationship with Ling Xi, Zhou Yu, and Lei Lin. However, I overturned all those rules, and we live happily now."

Shangguan Qinglan could only shake her head. "You’re probably the only human in the universe who can do that. If my race finds out I’m in a relationship with a human, they’ll hunt us both down. They’ll sentence the man to death, and they’ll also imprison me in the punishment grounds."

"How many spirit race members are there at your place?"

"Not many," Shangguan Qinglan thought for a moment. "If I remember correctly, there are only about a thousand of us. Since we never managed to find our spirit emperor, we were never able to unite, and they chose to scatter to several other domains."

Ling Yun nodded slightly. "A thousand is small, but it’s much better. I once met the natural races in the Spirit Grove Domain, and I saw that there weren’t many spirit race members there."

"In the past, many members of my race lived in that domain, but they decided to leave that place after the plague, and they didn’t want to return there again after that." Ling Yun naturally remembered that, and Sheng Ming saved those who chose to stay there. "So, how are we going to get to the Forgotten Starfall Domain?"

"You should inform your sect members about your departure first, or they will be at a loss to find you." As Shangguan Qinglan contacted her friends, Ling Yun also informed An Yufei and the others that he would be returning to his residence. "Done?"

"Yes," Shangguan Qinglan nodded. "Let’s go now! I can’t wait to meet the Spirit Emperor."

"Wait a second." Shangguan Qinglan raised an eyebrow as Ling Yun disappeared, but he returned a few seconds later and opened a portal to the Yin-Yang Chamber, shocking her. "Get in first."

"Is this your personal space? Where did you get it?" Shangguan Qinglan asked as she followed behind him.

"I got it from Ling Xi when we first met." Shangguan Qinglan’s eyes widened when they arrived inside because it looked like a luxurious bedroom with a large bed, making her realize the place’s function. "This space has many functions, but I mostly use it for dual cultivation with them."

Shangguan Qinglan stepped back. "Did you bring me here to dual-cultivate with me? I warn you not to force me, or I will beat you to death."

"Haha," Ling Yun laughed at her threat. "Trust me, if I wanted to force you to dual-cultivate with me, you wouldn’t be able to resist me, let alone beat me up. However, I’m not that kind of man, and I brought you here not to force you to dual-cultivate with me, but this space is a shortcut back to my residence."

"Hmm?" Shangguan Qinglan squinted her eyes. "Are you really not going to force me to dual cultivate with you?"
