Their next stop was the Speed Hall, but there wasn’t much to discover there, except for the presence of Yan Leibao and his Yan Clan.

After explaining a few things to them, Zhang Fei led his guests to the alchemy hall. However, the presence of another Zhang Fei there puzzled them. "He is one of my clones, and the woman who competed with him is Huo Lanyin, one of Empress Huo’s subordinates."

"So, it’s true that you have a relationship with Empress Huo, huh?"

Zhang Fei smiled at them. "Empress Huo’s current name is Feng Yao, and we have known each other since the lower realms. Actually, her parents already consider me their son-in-law, even though she herself is still not willing to accept me as her husband."

’This crazy kid! How could he have such a relationship with Empress Huo? No wonder he dared to fight the Zhi and Fei Clans before.’

"Lin Jingxia comes from the upper realms, and she’s a god-rank alchemist. Tian Shuixiang is also a god-rank alchemist. He looks like an ordinary human, but his true identity is an asura demon. He’s Shang Zhui’s son, and he is also Ye Futian’s son-in-law." Zhang Fei’s revelation of Tian Shuixiang’s true identity shocked them, but they could see that he was attentive in teaching those young alchemists. "Feng Shanxi is a female phoenix, and she is also a god-rank alchemist like them. Nanfeng Yunxi has not yet reached god-rank, but her abilities in alchemy are almost on par with her seniors. The other three are my servants, and they used to be the leaders of the alchemy union."

"Does that mean the three of them were once your enemies?"

"I would never do such things to innocents, but I would not hesitate to use any means to destroy my enemies." Zhang Fei then led them away.

Liao Hanxue and her grandparents were overjoyed when they arrived at the Blacksmith Hall, where they saw several blacksmiths seriously forging equipment.

"Gang Zhishou was the first person to introduce me to blacksmithing." Zhang Fei then pointed to the other four. "The old man is Duan Zhao, and the other three are his disciples: Ah Hu, Lu Zhong, and Xian Xian."

"Who are the young man and the old man?"

"Tie Xuan was the second person to guide me in blacksmithing, and the old man beside him was Ji Changlan." Zhang Fei brought them into one of the rooms in the Blacksmith Hall.

"Old Gong and Old Cheng, I have brought some guests with me." Both old men turned to Zhang Fei directly. "This young woman is Liao Hanxue, and the two people beside her are her grandparents, Liao Shengye and Bai Yueqin. Their Liao Clan is one of the best artifact crafters in this realm, and I invite them to join our sect."

Gong Ren and Cheng Gaoji cupped their hands. "Nice to know you, three seniors."

"Yes." Liao Shengye looked at the unfinished device on the table. "What kind of project are you two working on?"

"A teleportation device, seniors." Liao Shengye looked at them in confusion, prompting Gong Ren to explain. "This device is the teleportation device we normally use in the Three Mortal Realms, but Zhang Fei wanted to build a teleportation device that could connect this realm with the Three Mortal Realms, so we started re-examining it."

Bai Yueqin looked at Zhang Fei directly. "Are you really serious about building such a teleportation device? Have you considered the risks?"

"Yes." Zhang Fei then explained it. "Senior, I’ve thought about the risks, so I want to build a one-way teleportation device. This way, people from the Three Mortal Realms can ascend here without having to wait for their cultivation to break through to the Five Celestial Realms first, especially since there is no Celestial Qi there. On the other hand, people from the Paradise Realm won’t be able to descend there, and they have to pass through those tunnels if they want to go there."

"I see." Bai Yueqin nodded in understanding.

Liao Hanxue then spoke to her grandmother. "Grandma, I already told Zhang Fei that our clan has repeatedly tried to make such a teleportation device, but we always hit a dead end because the barrier blocks the way out. However, he has an ability to connect the two realms that might be able to give us a solution to open the way out, and we might succeed in creating the device if we can analyze his ability."

"What kind of ability do you have to connect the two realms, Zhang Fei?"

"This." Zhang Fei immediately opened the gate, shocking Bai Yueqin and Liao Shengye. "If you two go through this gate, you will arrive at the Xianjin Realm directly."

Upon hearing that, Liao Shengye and Bai Yueqin immediately jumped into the gate, but a few minutes later, they returned with expressions of astonishment.

"Who exactly are you? In my entire life, I’ve never heard of such an ability." Liao Shengye asked, still astonished by what he had seen earlier.

Bai Yueqin agreed with her husband. "If you really want to cooperate with us, I hope you are willing to explain to us the truth."

"Show them your sincerity, Zhang Fei."

Zhang Fei sighed softly before transforming into his demon form, but he immediately transformed into his heavenly fox form before returning to his human form, leaving Liao Shengye and Bai Yueqin stunned for a long time.

Qiao Yisheng was also surprised by Zhang Fei’s two forms, especially since he had only shown his Calamity Dragon Form to him before. Tang Qingyan glanced at her husband, and she noticed that he didn’t know either of them yet, but she said nothing.

"Haha." Liao Hanxue laughed and embraced their shoulders. "Grandpa! Grandma! I was shocked like you two at first, but Zhang Fei is truly a human, a demon, and a fox beast."

"How could such a thing happen?"

"Long story short, I died once, and someone brought me back to life. However, that person revived me in an unusual way, and since then, I have had three identities." Zhang Fei pointed his finger at the gate. "This ability belongs to my beast identity, and I can travel to all the realms I’ve been to before whenever I want."

They were curious about the person’s identity, but Zhang Fei shook his head at them, indicating that he didn’t know anything.

"What do you think about this, husband?"

Liao Shengye pondered for a moment. "I’m still not sure if we’ll succeed in creating such a teleportation device, but I think we should stay here to analyze this gate for now. If we can find a solution after analyzing it, we might be able to make it happen. However, we can’t do it alone, and we need someone with void elements. Unfortunately, not many cultivators have those elements, but Kong Bai and Nu Liexi are the best void cultivators in this realm."

"What do you think if we invite them here, Zhang Fei?" Bai Yueqin asked.

"Senior, I don’t want too many people to know about me, especially now." Liao Shengye and Bai Yueqing understood Zhang Fei’s intention to hide himself from the public. "Actually, I know two other people with the void element, and one of them lives in this sect. The other one is my sister-in-law, and she lives in the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary."

"Your sister-in-law? Immortal Lotus Sanctuary?"

Liao Hanxue immediately told them. "I forgot to tell you two that one of Zhang Fei’s wives is Luo Yunxiao, and she is the daughter of Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi."

Liao Shengye and Bai Yueqing nodded in understanding. "In that case, we will first analyze your gate, and if we succeed in finding a solution for the device, you can bring those two people to meet us. After all, a teleportation device uses the principle of space and void, so we need the help of a cultivator with one of those elements."

"Alright."

Zhang Fei led Liao Hanxue, Qiao Yisheng, and Tang Qingyan away from the Blacksmith Hall. However, he left the latter two in the medical hall after introducing them to Elmyra, Tian Yishen, Xiao Laoshu, and several others.

Zhang Fei then took Liao Hanxue to the Array Hall, but there weren’t many people there compared to the other halls. "Luolan."

"Hmm?" Duanmu Luolan turned to Zhang Fei directly. "Is she your new woman, husband?"

"Hahaha." Zhang Fei laughed at that. "You’re mistaken about her, Luolan. Senior Liao Hanxue is Zhuxian Sheng’s woman, and she’s an expert in formation arrays, so I brought her here to meet you."

"Oh?"

Liao Hanxue smiled at her. "It seems your husband is too much of a womanizer, so you consider every woman by his side his potential wife."

"You’re right, senior. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have over a hundred wives, right?" Both Liao Hanxue and Duanmu Luolan laughed as they glanced at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei simply shook his head. "Luolan, I’ll go to the Floral Mirage Domain, and you can discuss the formation arrays with Senior Hanxue."

After that, Zhang Fei left the Array Hall, but he first picked up Jia Yuyan before leaving their sect.

Liao Hanxue pulled Duanmu Luolan to sit beside her. "So, what kind of array formation do you want to know?"

"I need a stronger protective array." Liao Hanxue looked at Duanmu Luolan in confusion. "Senior, this sect does have two powerful formations, but I feel that they are insufficient, and I want to build another protective formation as a backup."
