Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son-Chapter 870 - 4-Star And Archduke Rank
Since they had not seen each other for hundreds of years, Zhang Fei [5] did not disturb them. He sat on Feng Qingmeng's seat, listening to Xian Feng and the others recount all the events that had happened in the Xian Kingdom and the Nine Stars Realm after Xian Xianjue and Shi Baoyin ascended several hundred years ago. He was also thinking about his next plans for the Dragon Clan, his other plans, and his journey to the Sovereign Heaven Realm.
On his map, Zhang Fei [5] could see that Long Jishan and Long Yingwu had already arrived in the lower land, and they were on their way to the northern area, followed by Feng Xishui and Feng Yongheng behind them. 'So, the assassins' hideout is in the north, eh?'
[Are you considering subduing them, Master?]
'I want to see their abilities and strengths first. If they are expert assassins, I will subdue them and recruit them into my Demon Fox group, and they will help me with my affairs in the upper realms.' Zhang Fei [5] then contacted Feng Xishui and asked him not to do anything to those assassins.

[Ding.]
[Congratulations! The host's ice elemental law has reached the intermediate stage.]
===
The appearance of the notification satisfied Zhang Fei [5], especially since his second clone had been staying in the ice lake in the Phoenix Realm for quite a while. Thereafter, Feltia [2] moved to the sea of fire to increase his fire elemental law to the half-perfection stage.
Sometime later, Xian Feng and the others had told everything to Xian Xianjue and Shi Baoyin, which made both of them sorrowful, especially the decision of their first son, Xian Hong, to defect to the demons. Moreover, their second son had already crippled Li Yiping and her two children, Xian Yu and Xian Mu.
"I'm sorry, I had to do it to protect our kingdom."
"No need." Xian Xianjue replied with a shake of his head. "Even though I am sad about their situation, you have done the right thing regarding them. If I were still in our kingdom, I would have done the same."
Shang Baoyin then asked. "What about Hong'er? Have you done anything to him?"
"Not yet." Xian Feng turned to Zhang Fei [5]. "He locked Xian Hong in the Star Tower together with Ximen Gongwu and Zheng Moyue."
Xian Xianjue and Shi Baoyin turned to Zhang Fei [5] in surprise, especially since the two of them had challenged the Star Tower in the past, so they knew that it was no ordinary tower. Moreover, their family told them that he had united all the kingdoms in their realm; even the beast and natural race kingdoms were also related to him.
Zhang Fei [5] immediately explained. "Coincidentally, I caught the attention of the person in charge of the Star Tower when I challenged it a few months ago, and he was willing to help me lock them up. He also helped me lock up several people from the Huangfu Clan, such as Huangfu Fanbo and Huangfu Song."
"What are your plans for them?" Xian Xianjue asked.
"At first, I still don't have any plans for them, but I have some ideas for them now." All of them immediately focused their attention on Zhang Fei [5]. "I won't do anything to Xian Hong, and I will hand him over to you guys so that you can decide his fate. Ximen Gongwu and Zheng Moyue are fairly strong, but I don't need them. I will kill them, and I will use their demon essence to strengthen myself."
"Hmm? What do you mean by that?"
"Grandpa! Grandma! Fei is also a demon." Xian Xianqin's revelation shocked Xian Xianjue and Shi Baoyin. "Don't misunderstand him. He is a human, a demon, and a beast. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to establish relationships with all races, and he managed to unite our realm also because of his three identities."
Seeing their expressions, Zhang Fei [5] transformed into his lust demon form and complete fox form in turn, shocking both Xian Xianjue and Shi Baoyin. He then returned to his human form. "Back when I started my path of cultivation, I often hid my other two identities, but I will no longer hide them. Not only do people in the Nine Stars Realm know my three identities, but many people in the lower and upper realms do as well, especially those who have a close relationship with me."
"Are you going to take care of them now, Fei?" Xian Changyue asked him.
"The situation in our realm has completely stabilized now, so I don't need to lock them up in the Star Tower anymore. Moreover, my demon rank will soon rise to the archduke rank, and their demon essence is likely enough for that, so I'll do it now." After saying that, Zhang Fei [5] immediately left them and went to the Nine Star Realm.
"How can he switch realms so easily?" Xian Xianjue asked them.
Xian Changyue immediately explained it to him. "Father, Zhang Fei [5] is a heavenly fox, and the ability to change realms is one of his beast abilities."
"I see."
"Grandpa, how is your life and my grandma's in the sect? I want to hear your stories after you arrived here."
As he rubbed Xian Xianqin's head, Xian Xianjue laughed and recounted their journey from ascending to the Sky Dragon Realm to joining the Blazing Phoenix Sect today.

Zhang Fei [5] was already on the first floor of the Star Tower, waiting for the old man to send Xian Hong and the others to him.
A few minutes later, Sima Yun appeared before Zhang Fei [5], and he brought several unconscious people with him.
"Long time no see, Old Brat." Zhang Fei [5] greeted Sima Yu with a wide grin.
"They are yours." Sima Yun threw the five people in front of Zhang Fei [5] and disappeared again.
Zhang Fei [5] first squatted at the side of the people from the Huangfu Clan, and he used some of his demon abilities on them. After that, he woke them up and gave them some orders, and they hurriedly left the Star Tower after that.
Then, Zhang Fei [5] sent Xian Hong to the Xian Kingdom, especially since he couldn't possibly bring him to the Sky Dragon Realm. He brought Ximen Gongwu and Zheng Mohei to an empty island, especially since his cultivation would instantly break through if he absorbed their cultivation.
Upon arriving there, Zhang Fei [5] immediately used his demon-absorbing on Ximen Gongwu and Zheng Mohei. He sucked their cultivation and demon power dry, leading to their demise.
[You gained 5,000,000 demon essences from Ximen Gongwu.]
[You gained 3,000,000 Qi from Ximen Gongwu.]
[You gained 6,000,000 demon essences from Zheng Moyue.]
[You gained 3,500,000 Qi from Zheng Moyue.]

[Congratulations! The host's cultivation broke through to 4 Star Heaven Realm.]
[Congratulations! The host's demon rank has been upgraded to archduke rank.]
In a matter of seconds, the sky in the Nine Stars Realm turned dark, especially above the island, with lightning bolts flashing above. Zhang Fei [5] immediately summoned Lei Que out of the beast space, and the thunderbird quickly brought him into the source of its lightning tribulation.

"Your cultivation broke through again?" Bai Shushi, who was curled up in Zhang Fei's embrace, asked.
"My fifth clone just killed Zheng Moyue and Ximen Gongwu, and my cultivation broke through immediately after absorbing their cultivation." Zhang Fei released her and Bai Tian'er from his embrace. "You two rest now."
After Zhang Fei left, Bai Tian'er asked Bai Shushi. "Will he be okay, Mother? He uses shortcuts to break through too often, and it worries me. I'm afraid he'll get addicted to doing it, and it'll twist his character."
"Sigh." Bai Shushi sighed softly. "I'm also worried that he will get addicted to using a shortcut, but he is too eager to strengthen himself, and he won't listen to us. I hope he doesn't get addicted to it, or he will become a heretic cultivator."
"I hope so, Mother." Bai Tian'er then closed her eyes. "I'm too tired because he made me orgasm too many times, so I want to sleep now."
"Yeah." Bai Shushi nodded to his daughter, and the two slept in each other's arms.

On the flying artifact, Feng Yao could only shake her head as she watched Zhang Fei [4], who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. 'He began to become dependent on the Nine Revolutions Pills, and he repeatedly absorbed other people's cultivation to improve himself. If he continues doing this, he will face a huge obstacle when he is about to break through to the Seven Divine Realms.'
[If that happens, he is not worthy of going to the Paradise Realm, let alone to our realm, Master.]
Feng Yao chose not to respond to Huo Ling and focused on watching Zhang Fei [4]. 'I hope you know when to stop using a shortcut, or you will sink deeper and deeper, and you will never be able to escape its trap.'
.
.

In the Pandora Odyssey, Yan Zhixiu and the other women stood around Zhang Fei [1], and they were worried about his methods for improving himself.
"Zhixiu, we have to ask him to stop his crazy actions." Xi Zihua spoke.
Yan Luan'er also spoke. "Since his cultivation was still at the 4-Star Earth Realm, he has been using the shortcut of absorbing other people's cultivation, and I'm afraid he won't be able to stop using it."
"Yes." Yan Zhixiu nodded in agreement with them. "I understand his desire to become strong and help us, but he has gone too far, and he will be trapped in a path of no return if this continues. After he completes his breakthrough, we will talk to him, and I hope he is willing to listen to us."
.

At Cheng Gaoji's residence, Wang Yourou had woken up from her sleep and was sitting opposite Zhang Xiaolong [3], watching him with a serious expression. She decided to contact the others, especially since she felt that he was too careless with his breakthrough.
In a while, Hun Di and several others had arrived at the room, and all of them let out a heavy sigh, feeling the fluctuation of Qi and lightning elements in Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s body.
"I already warned him not to rely on the Nine Revolutions Pills, but this kid was too stubborn and didn't listen to me." Lin Jingxia commented with a shake of her head.
"Master, you should advise my junior brother." Yan Yinqing spoke to Hun Di. "If he continues like this, he will only harm himself."
Lin Moxian and the others also spoke to Hun Di, who responded to them with a nod. "Let's wait for him to finish first, and I'll talk to him after that."
.
.

A few hours later, Zhang Fei [5] had completed his breakthrough, and he immediately returned to the Blazing Phoenix Sect in the Sky Dragon Realm. He asked Feng Qingmeng for permission to bring Xian Xianjue and Shi Baoyin to the Phoenix Clan so they could gather together with Xian Xianqin and the others.
Feng Qingmeng immediately agreed to it, and she asked the people in the Phoenix Clan to prepare guest rooms for them.
Zhang Fei [5] did not join them, and he went to his room to stabilize his cultivation. Meanwhile, in other places, many people advise his real body and other clones to stop his crazy actions.
.
.

"Kid, I understand your situation and your wishes, but I forbid you from using shortcuts." Hun Di spoke with a heavy sigh. "You should already be aware that the results achieved by such means will not end well, so you should stop it. You may not experience the side effects now, but you will definitely experience them someday. If that happens, your cultivation will never be able to advance without using shortcuts, and you will eventually turn into a heretic cultivator because of your addiction."
Feng Jiu also tried to advise Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "They may be bad people, but they are still living beings, and your karma will accumulate even more if you use them as sacrifices. You yourself should already be aware that your lightning tribulations become stronger every time you break through, right? Once the heavens deem you evil, they will bring down the strongest lightning tribulation to kill you. Even if your body is incredibly strong, you won't be able to withstand it, and it has already struck down someone stronger than you in the past."
"Far in the past, there was a body cultivator with an invincible physique, and he was able to reach his level by using shortcuts like you." Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at Feng Xueying. "Back then, he managed to defeat many cultivators, including me and Feng Shen. Unfortunately, his efforts ended in vain when the heavens decided to punish him using the strongest lightning tribulation, which not only destroyed his body but also his soul."
Hong Quan then spoke. "Kid, you have to remember that there are so many people by your side, including my granddaughter. If you die, all of them will be miserable because of your death, so you have to be more careful in doing everything."
"Becoming strong by using shortcuts is not good, and you have to strengthen yourself with your efforts." Feng Tian spoke.
"Sigh." Zhe Wuming patted Zhang Xiaolong [3] on the shoulder. "You are a grown-up man, so you should be able to think much better. Seniors like us can only give you advice, but all the decisions are in your hands."
Gong Ren then spoke to him. "We have seen the rise and fall of many cultivators, and we do not wish to see a genius like you end up like them, so I hope you will be willing to listen to our advice."
Zhang Xialong [3] stood up and cupped his hands toward them. "Seniors, thank you all for your advice. I will definitely listen to your words, and I will no longer use shortcuts to improve myself."
"We hope you can really do that."
Zhe Wuming then asked. "Do you have any recent information about Xereth?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately told them about Xereth, who was on his way with Feng Yichen to the Blue Water Realm. "They will arrive there in two days, and I have already asked someone to do something about him. However, that demon is quite cunning, and he has numerous statues hidden across various realms."
"How did you track them down? Who is the person you are referring to in the Blue Water Realm?"
"That person is a powerful demon beast, but I won't say much about him." Zhang Xiaolong [3] stole a glance at Feng Jiu for a moment. "As for how I can track their location, Feng Yao helped me subdue Feng Yichen, and she has become my contract beast."
The Phoenix Clan members were shocked to hear the name, and Feng Shen's expression became serious. "Kid, tell me, did she give the Divine Phoenix Totem to you? If she did, you must return it to us, especially since it is our clan treasure."
'As expected.' Zhang Xiaolong [3] inwardly muttered as soon as he saw Feng Shen's name turn red on the map. "Old Phoenix, the Divine Phoenix Totem was not in Feng Yichen's hands, and it disappeared when she tried to subdue it. Whether you believe me or not is your business, but I've told you the truth."
"You—"
Feng Xueying immediately interjected. "Old Shen, Feng Yichen is this kid's contract beast now, so she can't lie to him. Moreover, the aura of the Divine Phoenix Totem is strong. It will stick to his body if he ever sees it, yet I can't sense it from him."
Feng Shen glared fiercely at Zhang Xiaolong [3], but he didn't say anything and left the room immediately, followed by many others.
"You must remember my words some time ago." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded to Feng Jiu, who immediately followed the others, leaving him and the few others there.
