Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1327: Ten-Tailed Fox’s Sloth Soul

Long Wuzhao and others took Jia Zizhen and his subordinates back to the Fairy King Palace, summoning all members of the Fairy Race to gather to determine the punishment of their traitors.

The past Fairy King candidates, who have the same fate as Jia Xianzu and Beiming Youhuang, have gathered there. Even though they had previously seen the evidence before, Long Wuzhao replayed everything, allowing them to see more clearly all the crimes committed by Jia Zizhen in the past.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei had arrived at the location of the statue of the ten-tailed fox, with Tianshi Shengjie behind him. He immediately summoned Jia Yuyan out of his soul world before approaching the statue. "Old fox, I know you are inside, so please come out now."

"Hahaha." The ten-tailed fox’s sloth soul came straight out of the statue as he laughed. "You should have been able to come here after you got the nine evil beasts, but you kept me waiting longer, kid."

"My fear after the incident with my Cursed Demon Heart prevented me from coming here sooner, old fox," Zhang Fei then asked Hu Tianlang. "Is it true that this soul of yours holds half of your memories?"

Hu Tianlang nodded at Zhang Fei. "My benevolent soul tells you the truth, and this soul does hold half of my memories. However, they are only minor memories, and the other half is stored within my greed and envy souls, and both are in a faraway place. If you succeed in finding and merging with them, you will get all my memories, including my memories from the Primordial Era."

"A faraway palace?"

"The Ancient Realm."

"Fuck!" Zhang Fei cursed directly. "When can I evolve into the ten tails?"

"Hahaha." Hu Tianlang laughed at Zhang Fei’s question. "Why are you in such a hurry to evolve to ten tails? With your current strength, you can’t defeat my wrath soul because he inherited most of my original’s strength. If you meet him now, he will beat you again like what he did in the Sovereign Heaven Realm, and you will suffer even more serious injuries."

Zhang Fei’s expression turned gloomy after Hu Tianlang mentioned that incident, as that day was the first time he felt extreme fear in his life. "If your wrath soul doesn’t inherit all of your original strength, then where do you keep the rest?"

"Shouldn’t you already know the answer, kid?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Fei furrowed his brows. "You divide the rest and store it in the hearts of Tian Baixing and Tian Baitian."

"That’s right." Hu Tianlang confirmed it with a nod. "In the past, I was able to descend to this Paradise Realm and the Three Mortal Realms because I had already divided most of my strength and stored it in my wrath soul. When I split myself into two, Tian Baixing and Tian Baitian each inherited half of my remaining strength. If you evolve into ten tails and inherit my original strength in this realm, all domains in this realm will collapse, and all its inhabitants will die because of you."

Zhang Fei released a soft sigh. "So, I can only evolve to ten tails in the Ancient Realm, right?"

"Yes." Hu Tianlang nodded at Zhang Fei. "You’ve already met Puyang Shangren of the Puyang Clan, so your path to the Ancient Realm is already open. Even if you can’t go there on your own, Feng Yao will definitely take you there, but she won’t be taking you there anytime soon. It’s true that you can increase your strength by borrowing the power of those beasts, but you’ve already witnessed the power of the Ancient Leiyu Tianlu, so you should already have an idea of ​​the power of the ancients, right?"

Zhang Fei certainly couldn’t forget the day when the Ancient Leiyu Tianlu slaughtered those demons and evil beasts; even those mystical evil beasts couldn’t escape from his attack, and he slaughtered all of them with just one attack. "If he was really serious at that time, his attacks would have destroyed the Forbidden Land."

"The Ancient Leiyu Tianlu is incredibly powerful; not even Long Wuzhao or the four perils can defeat him." Zhang Fei agreed with Hu Tianlang. "Additionally, there are many other beasts that are much stronger than him there, even though they are not as strong as the Primordial Genesis Beast or the Primordial Nihility Beasts."

Zhang Fei looked at Hu Tianlang in disbelief, as the Ancient Leiyu Tianlu was already too powerful, and he said there were still many beasts stronger than him. "How strong are the Primordial Genesis Beast and the Primordial Nihility Beast?"

"Don’t mention their real bodies; even if their avatars descend to this realm for too long, all the domains will be destroyed instantly. Once you go to the Ancient Realm, you will encounter their avatars, and they will definitely hunt you down, especially since you are the current Calamity Demon Dragon." Zhang Fei had already heard that from Yin Yue and Tian Taiyang, so he was no longer surprised to hear that from Hu Tianlang. "Alright, there’s no point thinking about them now, and you just have to take one step at a time."

"Grandpa Hun." Hu Tianlang looked at Jia Yuyan. "Are you leaving now?"

"Haha." Hu Tianlang softly laughed. "Little Yuyan, we have been together for a long time, so you already know that I have to leave one day, and today is the time. Thank you for bringing him here, and I hope you will always be happy with him."

Jia Yuyan nodded slightly. "Don’t worry, Grandpa Hun. I will always be happy with my husband."

"Yeah." Hu Tianlang looked at Tianshi Shengjie. "What are you hesitating for, Little Shengjie? As I said in the past, you and Little Yuyan are destined to be together with my successor. He is standing before you now, so it’s time for you to make a decision and fulfill your destiny."

Tianshi Shengjie shook her head at Hu Tianlang. "I’ve long accepted my destiny, but I’m different from Jia Yuyan, and I will wait for him to conquer my heart first. If he succeeds in conquering my heart, I will give myself completely to him."

"I see." Hu Tianlang then spoke to Zhang Fei again. "Kid, once our souls begin to merge, you must immediately return to your training space. You became more lustful after you acquired my lustful nature, and you became more arrogant after you acquired my proud nature, so you should already know what will happen if my lazy nature affects you. Once it affects you, you must not leave your training space until you can overcome its effects."

"I know." One of Zhang Fei’s clones went straight to the Moonlit Passion Temple and brought all his women back to the training space, except for Duanmu Luolan, who was still busy with Liao Hanxue. "How long will it take for me to overcome the effects?"

"It will depend on yourself." Hu Tianlang answered Zhang Fei with a shake of his head. "You will become really lazy after our souls fully merge, so you should use that time to enter seclusion again to help all your women increase their strength, especially since you will need a lot of help in the future. Additionally, time flows four times faster in that space, which will significantly aid you in overcoming the effects."

"Shengjie, I hope you will join us this time, so we will have more time together." Tianshi Shengjie agreed with Zhang Fei, who immediately opened a portal to the training space and released his soul. "Let’s do it, old fox."

Hu Tianlang looked at Tianshi Shengji and Jia Yuyan for a while before darting into Zhang Fei’s soul, starting the process of merging their souls.

In that instant, Zhang Fei felt an overwhelming laziness wash over him, forcing Tianshi Shengjie and Jia Yuyan to support him. They immediately took him into the training space, making the portal disappear by itself.

Shortly after they left, Kong Bai and Nu Liexi appeared at the scene. "Can you detect the entrance to that kid’s private space, Old Kong?"

"No." Kong Bai shook his head in response. "That kid’s private space uses the principles of space and void elements, but I think those two elements are slightly different from what we know so far."

"At least we’ve gathered enough information about that kid, but we can’t tell those old folks about him; otherwise, the Dragon Emperor and Empress Huo will punish us." Nu Liexi then looked at Kong Bai. "However, I’m curious about their discussion regarding the Ancient Realm; does that imply there are other realms beyond this Paradise Realm? Moreover, I’ve never heard of the Primordial Genesis Beast and the Primordial Nihility Beast before, and both beasts must be truly powerful because Hu Tianlang said that they could destroy this realm just using their avatars."

"Those two beasts must be truly powerful," Kong Bai uttered as he nodded. "Humans like us may not know about their existence, but I’m sure the Golden Dragon Emperor, the Golden Phoenix Emperor, and the others must already know about them. They’ve probably already realized that they can’t fight those two beasts, and they’re waiting for the return of the ten-tailed fox because only Hu Tianlang’s successor can fight them."

"Then—"

"No." Kong Bai stopped Nu Liexi with a shake of his head. "There are many things beyond our reach, and this matter is one of them, so we shouldn’t delve too deeply into it, or we’ll end up in trouble."
