Ling Yun cupped his hand to Zao Nianjian. "I’ve heard about you for a long time, but this is our first meeting, Senior."

"Haha," Zao Nianjian laughed as he cupped his hand back. "I’ve been wanting to meet you for a long time, but I only had the chance to come here now. I’ve heard a lot about your exploits, and you’ve done many things that other cultivators, including Zhizun Buxiu, couldn’t, such as defeating Xie Zuzhou’s avatar."

Ling Yun shook his head and lowered his hand. "In fact, Senior Buxiu could defeat Xie Zuzhou if he wanted to. However, their fight would be too big, and it would affect the entire Supreme Realm. That old devil is just like Senior Buxiu; he fully understands the risks of their fight, which is why both of them refrained from engaging in direct combat."

"You’re right." Zao Nianjian nodded with a soft sigh. "Xie Zuzhou and Zhizun Buxiu are the pinnacle of power in the Supreme Realm, and they have lived for far too long. If they were to fight now, many domains would be destroyed by their fight, and all the inhabitants of this realm would suffer. So, what are your next plans?"

"Honestly, I have thought of many plans for the future, but I can’t do them all now." Ling Yun looked towards the central region. "This moment is the starting point of our new life in this domain, and there are still many things we need to do, so I want to stabilize the situation here first. Besides, I still have to carry out seclusion for at least the next 150 years, and I hope I can break through to the Three Immortal Realms by then."

Zao Nianjian nodded slightly. "With your cultivation having only just broken through to the Saint God Realm, I’m not sure you can reach that stage in 150 years. However, your parents-in-law have already told me that you have dozens of wives by your side, and many of them have cultivations above yours, so you might be able to reach it within that time."

"I’m quite confident in reaching that stage within 150 years." Ling Yun then offered Zao Nianjian to cultivate in the void realm, which shocked the old man. Just like other cultivators in the supreme realm, the old man never knew that other realms existed beyond the boundaries of their universe. "I’ve brought clones of my parents-in-law and the others there, so they don’t need to go there directly to cultivate. If you don’t have a clone technique, I can teach it to you, and I’ll send your clones to that realm. That way, your cultivation will improve faster, and you can still keep an eye on your domain."

"Old Zhao, I think you should accept my son-in-law’s offer." Long Tianhuo spoke.

Feng Huang also persuaded the old man. "The quality and quantity of qi in that realm are far superior to this supreme realm, Old Zhao. No cultivator can get there without my son-in-law’s help, so you shouldn’t miss this opportunity."

"Alright." After Zao Nianjian agreed, Ling Yun imparted the clone technique into his mind so he could learn it straight away. "I’ll study it now."

In just a few minutes, Zao Nianjian was able to create several clones, and Ling Yun immediately sent them into his yang-yang chamber so his clone in the void realm could take them there.

Zao Nianjian immediately felt the changes in himself as soon as his clones began cultivating in that realm. "Incredible! The difference in the quality and quantity of qi in the two realms is so vast! No wonder no cultivator in the supreme realm has ever managed to surpass the Three Immortal Realms, including Xie Zuzhou and Zhizun Buxiu."

"Hehe," Ling Yun chuckled. "Senior Buxiu has almost crossed the threshold, and he may be able to break through to the Pseudo-Supreme Realm in the next few years. Sheng Ming will be the first to break through to that stage, and he will catch up with her."

Zao Nianjian sighed and cupped his lips again. "If it weren’t for the opportunity that you gave me, I would be nothing but a frog in a well, young man.

"You don’t need to thank me, Senior. I myself wouldn’t know anything about that realm if it weren’t for the old dragon and Huang Lingzhu." Ling Yun looked up at the sky. "Moreover, this universe will face dangers that no one has ever imagined, so I will share this opportunity with those who are worthy of it, and we will fight together in the future to stop them."

Zao Nianjian nodded several times. "Your parents-in-law have explained everything to me, and I never expected that the core of this universe wanted to eliminate all living creatures living in it. However, we cannot blame him for his actions, as everything that has happened is a result of our own mistakes; therefore, we must fight to save everyone."

"I didn’t expect it either, but it’s already happened. The darkness continues to advance toward us, and its speed is getting faster and faster." Ling Yun looked at them. "I can’t be sure when the darkness will reach this supreme realm, so we must work harder to improve our cultivation. When I’m ready, we’ll go to the Desolate Abyss Domain and enter the abyss to fight all the cultivators trapped there, including the previous spirit emperor. The entrance to Chaos’s place is inside there, so we have no other choice but to go there, but we have to be wary of those people because they are no longer the same people as in the past, and all the negative emotions in the abyss have changed them, so they will give us a fierce fight."

Zao Nianjian nodded in understanding. "In that case, I’ll contact everyone in my domain and ask them to cultivate harder so they can help us if those people suddenly emerge from the abyss."

"I think that’s good." Ling Yun looked at Long Tianhuo and the others. "I plan to rest for a few days to take care of everything here, and I’ll enter seclusion again once everything is done. I probably won’t come out for a decade or so, but my clones will be keeping an eye on everything."

Long Tianhuo patted his shoulder. "For now, you just need to focus on yourself, and you can leave all the outside matters to us. I’ve already ordered some of my beast race members to go to all domains due to the appearance of those demons, and they will clear out all the heretics while monitoring everything. If there are major changes that occur in each domain, they will immediately report to me, and we will move to take care of them."

"Alright, I’ll leave all the outside matters to you guys, and I’ll focus completely on opening the last two seals." After that, Ling Yun brought Ling Xi and all the other women back to the Yunlong Zhuzhai.

"This universe is lucky to have him." Zao Nianjian looked at the other three. "If it weren’t for him, we would never have known about that darkness, and we probably wouldn’t know if the darkness suddenly swallowed us alive."

Long Tianhuo agreed with him. "Many planets in the lower realm have been devoured by the darkness, and the casualties are surely incalculable. Unfortunately, we can’t do anything to save everyone, but we must do our best to stop the darkness, or this universe will return to nothingness."

"Yeah."

"Husband, Sister Mengyi and I will return to the Frostmoon Domain now, and you can catch up with us after Brother Chen returns from the upper realms."

"Alright."

Feng Huang and Yue Mengyi returned to the domain through the portal in the Yunlong Zhuzhai, and Long Tianhuo went with Zao Nianjian to discuss.

"Father."

Ling Yun looked at Nu Huang, who was walking towards him with An Yufei and Zhu Quezi. "Do the three of you need something from me?"

"Father." Nu Huang immediately told Ling Yun about his desire to marry the two women, but he wasn’t surprised by it. "I’ve spoken to my grandmother about this matter, and she’s already prepared everything according to the elven custom, but she asked me to wait for you to come out of seclusion."

Ling Yun smiled when he saw An Yufei and Zhu Quezi blushing, and he could sense his son’s yang qi within their bodies, even though they still couldn’t have sex due to the vast difference in their cultivation. "Since they have agreed to become your wives, and your grandmother has also prepared everything, we will hold your wedding tomorrow morning."

"One more thing, Father."

"What is it?"

"After our wedding, we will go and join the Heavenly Star Sect like my four sisters."

Ling Yun nodded slightly. "If the three of you have decided, you guys can go to the domain and join the sect. Moreover, I’ve already seen the sect for myself more than a year and a half ago, and it’s good for you."

"Hehe," Nu Huang giggled. "Thank you, Father. We will meet Grandma Wang now, and we will get married tomorrow morning."

Ling Yun could only shake his head as his son hurriedly pulled the two women away with him.

Sheng Ming walked beside him. "Are you happy with your life?"

"How could I not be happy with all of you by my side?" Ling Yun hugged her waist. "I have so many wives as beautiful as you, and I also have so many understanding children, so I’m completely satisfied. However, the darkness still threatens our lives, so I can’t relax, and I have to become the next primordial chaos dragon as soon as possible to stop Chaos."
