After a long chat with Jin Nanyi, Ling Yun left her to rest and exited the void walls. He asked Peng Tianlei and the others to gather with him in the training area. He wasn’t afraid of other cultivators, even if their cultivation had reached the Three Immortal Realms, but he still harbored fear in his heart.

Ling Yun felt afraid and unprepared to face Chaos, and he feared that he would lose to it. If he lost and died, the entire universe would vanish and return to nothingness, and all his family members would also die.

Although Long Hun said that he would gain immense strength if he evolved into the next Primordial Chaos Dragon, Ling Yun still had no confidence in defeating Chaos. After all, Chaos was the core and creator of all things, and he possessed far more immense power than anyone else.

In Sheng Ming’s room.

The Virtuous Immortal, Liao Shuzhen, stood in front of the window with her gaze looking far away, specifically at the training ground. She watched Ling Yun fighting fiercely against the female beasts, who were attacking him with the intent to kill. ’He is the sole heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, and he is the key to saving this universe from the darkness. Even though he is as lustful as Senior Hun, he is also different from him at the same time.’

"What are you looking at, Shuzhen?" Dongfang Qinzhi asked.

"Over there." Liao Shuzhen pointed her index finger towards the training ground area. "Please check that area and see Ling Yun fighting with those female beasts."

The Zither Dao Immortal, Dongfang Qinzhi, was curious about that. She immediately directed her senses to that area to see Ling Yun training with those female beasts. After all, she didn’t know much about him, and all her knowledge about him came from Huang Lingzhu and Sheng Ming.

Dongfang Qinzhi was shocked for a moment when her senses reached the area, where she saw Ling Yun fighting fiercely with the female beast. She could sense that they were using their full strength against him, and they seemed to intend to kill him. "Hmm? That kid is a little different from that perverted old dragon."

"Yes," Liao Shuzhen nodded in agreement. "Even though he is Senior Hun’s sole heir, he is different from him because he is mortal. Judging from his expression and Sister Ming’s previous story, he does indeed carry a heavy burden in his heart. If the darkness engulfs this universe, all his wives and children will die, and he clearly doesn’t want that to happen."

"What about you two?" Both women turned to Sheng Ming. "Are you two ready to die being swallowed by darkness?"

"Hehe," Liao Shuzhen giggled. "What’s there to fear about death, Sister Ming? We’ve lived since the Ancient Era began, and millions of years have passed since then. I’ve lived too long, and I’ve seen the ups and downs of this universe. I feel like I’ve lived enough, so I have no problem if I have to die in the future."

Dongfang Qinzhi shrugged her shoulders. "Like Shuzhen, I also feel that my life has been more than enough. Besides, I think that death is not as scary as people imagine, so I will embrace it with open arms if death comes to me."

"You two are so relaxed about death, huh?" Sheng Ming looked at her daughter, who was already fast asleep in her arms. "In the past, I was like you two, and I wasn’t afraid to face my death. However, my life has changed now, and I have a daughter. "Therefore, I don’t want to die, and I want to see my descendants thrive in this universe. No matter what happens or what it takes, I will help my husband stop the darkness and save this universe."

"Are you sure your husband can stop the darkness, Sister Ming?"

"Even if your husband becomes the Primordial Chaos Dragon in the future, I won’t believe that he can defeat Chaos. Chaos is everything and the core of this universe, and the Primordial Chaos Dragon is one of his creations."

Sheng Ming smiled at them. "I have complete faith in my husband, and I believe that he will defeat Chaos in the future. In fact, Chaos himself has met my husband several times, and he seems to also believe that he will defeat him."

"Oh? Did Chaos really meet your husband, Sister Ming?"

"I don’t have a reason to make up stories, right?" The two female immortals nodded to Sheng Ming. "Although I trust my husband’s abilities, he can’t do everything alone. The entrance to Chaos’s place is within the abyss in the Desolate Abyss Domain, and many powerful cultivators have been imprisoned there since the Ancient Era. Those cultivators are indeed powerful, and they harbor deep-seated hatred in their hearts, influenced by the malevolent energy from within the abyss. Therefore, my husband needs a lot of help to fight them, and I hope you guys will be willing to help him when the day comes."

Liao Shuzhen thought for a moment. "Alright! Although I’m not afraid of death, I am the Virtuous Immortal, and I cannot allow other living beings to die from being swallowed by darkness."

"Me too." Dongfang Qinzhi nodded slightly. "But when will your husband go fight Chaos, Sister Ming?"

"I can’t be sure yet, Qinzhi," Sheng Ming sighed. "My husband still needs at least one hundred and fifty years to unlock the two seals in his bloodline. Once they are unlocked, he must fuse with Long Hun’s dragon core, and he also still has to obtain his heart from Huang Lingzhu’s hand, so—"

"Eh? That perverted dragon’s heart is in Sister Lingzhu’s hand?" Dongfang Qinzhi was truly surprised to hear that.

Sheng Ming nodded at her. "Huang Lingzhu killed Long Hun, and she divided his body into several parts. My husband found his dragon core, and it was sealed using the blood of his loyal followers. His heart is in her hands, and she’s waiting for my husband to break all the seals on his bloodline before handing it over to him."

"In the past, I didn’t understand the reason Sister Lingzhu killed Senior Hun, but I can understand it a little now." Liao Shuzhen muttered softly.

Dongfang Qinzhi nodded. "Now that I think about it, that perverted dragon isn’t so bad! He decided to sacrifice himself for this universe, and he intentionally angered Sister Lingzhu, who killed him because he couldn’t commit suicide."

"Haha," Sheng Ming laughed. "Long Hun may be a perverted dragon, but he loves this universe as much as Huang Lingzhu, and he doesn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself for it. I’m grateful for his sacrifice because I’ve found the missing piece in my life, and my life is now truly happy with my husband and daughter."

"What were you three talking about?" Bai Xuanyue asked as soon as she appeared in the room.

"We were just talking about my husband and the darkness, Xuanyue."

"Oh." Bai Xuanyue nodded. "By the way, where is your husband’s other wives, Sister Ming? Why do I only see a few women in this residence?"

"As you already know, most of them come from the lower and upper realms, so their abilities haven’t been truly tested. That’s why my husband brought them to the trial tower to train, and he will take them to the Flowing Water Domain after they finish their training."

"The Flowing Water Domain? Why does your husband want to bring them to that domain?"

"Competition." Sheng Ming explained to the three female immortals that a competition would soon take place in the Flowing Water Domain. "There are so many cultivators who will join the competition, so my husband wants to use them as opponents for my sisters."

"How strong are your sisters? What about their fighting abilities?" Dongfang Qinzhi curiously asked.

"They’re strong, and their fighting abilities are quite good, but they’re still no match for older cultivators." Sheng Ming told them about Yi Mingxia and the others’ strengths. "So far, only a few of them are ready for actual combat, and most of them still need to further hone their fighting abilities."

"Does that mean Ling Yun will bring them all into the abyss in the future?"

"My husband actually doesn’t want them to get involved in the fight in the abyss, and he wants them to enjoy their lives. However, we are his wives, and we can’t possibly leave him to fight alone for us, so we will enter the abyss with him."

"What if they can’t come back from that place?"

Sheng Ming shook her head. "They’ve already thought about that possibility, and they don’t care about the risks. Before we follow him into the abyss in the future, they will ask him to impregnate them, so their descendants will continue to exist even if they die in the abyss."

Liao Shuzhen didn’t expect all of Ling Yun’s wives to make such a decision. After all, the abyss and all the cultivators trapped within were extremely dangerous, and their lives would likely end there, yet they chose to accompany him there.

Sheng Ming continued, "Moreover, Huang Lingzhu and the other immortals will also enter the abyss, and they know how much we mean to him, so they won’t let my sisters die in there."

"Speaking of the other immortals, I returned to the tower a few months ago, but I couldn’t find anyone there. Do you know where they went, Sister Ming?"

"Didn’t Huang Lingzhu tell you three about it?" Sheng Ming massaged her forehead after the three women shook their heads. "She sent Shiwang Zhizhu and the others to the Primordial Realm a few years ago, and they—"

"What? The Primordial Realm?"

"Are you serious about that, Sister Ming?"

"Where is the Primordial Realm?"

Sheng Ming chuckled. "The Primordial Realm is located beyond the barrier of this universe."
