Qi Qingxiu arrived at the Moonlit Passion Temple, bringing two young demons with her.

Since Qi Qingxiu had already visited the sect twice, Serpentera and Tian Kui didn't stop her from entering. Despite this, the two ancient beasts continued to monitor her, especially in Zhang Fei's absence.

Even though she had come to the Moonlit Passion Temple before, Qi Qingxiu had never paid attention to those areas of the sect, and she only focused on Zhang Fei because those people were insignificant in her eyes. However, her opinion changed after Ye Mingran and Nalan Shizhe told her some things about him, especially his identity as the successor of the ten-tailed fox.

Qi Qingxiu looked around the areas of the Moonlit Passion Temple, and the existence of four different races there really surprised her because their numbers were numerous, except for the winged race, which only had three representatives there.

Qi Qingxiu furrowed her brows when she detected the presence of Liao Hanxue, Liao Shengye, Bai Yueqin, Jian Kuang, Su Shentian, You Ran, Tan Yuxin, Qiao Yisheng, and Tang Qingyan in different areas of the Moonlit Passion Temple.

'That brat has started building relationships with people from other domains, huh?' Qi Qingxiu frowned deeper when she saw Jia Xianzu and Beiming Youhuang in the distance. 'Since that brat managed to take down Jia Zizhen, it's no surprise that the Fairy Race is willing to join him. Moreover, those two were no ordinary members, and they were former candidates to succeed the Fairy King in the past.'

You Feiling immediately appeared in front of Qi Qingxiu, accompanied by her direct disciple, Su Yao. "What brings you to our sect today, Demon God Qingxiu?"

"Where is Zhang Fei now? Why can't I find him anywhere?"

"Elder Zhang and my big sister entered seclusion again, and I don't know when they will come out." You Feiling's answer surprised Qi Qingxiu because Zhang Fei had previously caused chaos in the Fairy Race, but he had already entered seclusion again. "Have you decided to join us, Demon God Qingxiu?"

Qi Qingxiu nodded slightly and asked the two demons behind her to come forward. "Qi Zhihui and Qi Qingya are two of the best among the younger generation of my demon clan, and I brought them to this sect to join you."

"I see." You Feiling turned to Su Yao. "Yao'er, take them to Elder Chen Yuefeng, and you can bring them to the demon race's abode after they obtain their sect credentials."

"Yes, Big Sis." Su Yao immediately followed You Feiling's orders, taking Qi Zhihui and Qi Qingya to the mountain, where the registration hall was located.

"Do you want to stay in our sect for a while, Demon God Qingxiu?"

Qi Qingxiu thought about You Feiling's offer for a moment before agreeing. "I have no business in my domain for now, so I will stay in this sect for a while. Are there any interesting places here?"

"The Celestial Yin Lake is over there." Qi Qingxiu looked toward the back of the mountain that You Feiling pointed out. "The main advantage of this sect is that lake, where the concentration of Yin Qi is extremely high, especially during the night."

Qi Qingxiu swiftly directed her senses there, and her expression changed to surprise after she sensed Yin Qi's concentration there. "Please bring me there."

"Please follow me."

Soon, they arrived at the Celestial Yin Lake, where dozens of women were cultivating naked inside. Qi Qingxiu looked at the dense fog-covered barrier not far from their location, and she tried to peek inside but to no avail, which surprised her. "Why is there a barrier there? Who created that barrier?"

"Elder Zhang and one of his wives created the barrier to enclose and protect their private residence within." Qi Qingxiu returned her gaze to You Feiling. "Both of them are rank 10 array masters, and their families always live there when they are in the sect. However, the residence is empty now because they are in seclusion except for Duanmu Luolan, who is studying formation arrays with Liao Hanxue in more depth."

Qi Qingxiu knew that Zhang Fei was an array master because he snatched the Heavenly Jade Brush from her during the auction in the Forbidden Land, but she didn't expect that he had already reached rank 10. "Where is Duanmu Luolan now?"

"Duanmu Luolan should be in the Array Hall in the area in front of the mountain."

"In that case, I will go to the Array Hall now."

"Are you not interested in cultivating in this lake, Demon God Qingxiu?"

"Formation arrays are more interesting to me than this lake, especially with my current cultivation."

You Feiling could only shake her head as she watched Qi Qingxiu fly away, leaving the Celestial Yin Lake. "A demon god like her is indeed different, and her cultivation has reached the peak stage of the Five Celestial Realms."

You Feiling did not follow Qi Qingxiu; Instead, she took off her dress and joined the others, cultivating within the Celestial Yin Lake.

Liao Hanxue was shocked by Qi Qingxiu's sudden appearance, but Duanmu Luolan immediately calmed her down by speaking to her through voice transmission.

Duanmu Luolan then asked Qi Qingxiu. "Did you come here to look for my husband?"

"No." Qi Qingxiu immediately approached them. "I heard you two discussing formation arrays, and I'm an array master myself, so I decided to come here to take a look. So, what kind of formation are you two discussing?"

"A teleportation formation." Qi Qingxiu looked at Duanmu Luolan in confusion. "Indeed, we can use a teleportation device for that, but creating one is too expensive and takes time. Therefore, we want to create a teleportation formation to be used in various areas within a single domain, so we don't waste time flying back and forth. We aim to interconnect each formation, enabling us to select our destination without switching between them."

Qi Qingxiu nodded in understanding. "Normally, other people wouldn't think of such an idea, including me. After all, the cultivation world is too dangerous, and there are many foxes in sheep's clothing in it. If we create such teleportation formation arrays, others will be able to find us easily, which will only be detrimental to us."

"I agree with you, Demon God Qingxiu." Liao Hanxue spoke, nodding her head. "Actually, we wanted to create it specifically for this domain, at least for now."

"Why is that?"

"The answer lies in the changes in this sect." Qi Qingxiu seemed confused by that, prompting Duanmu Luolan to explain to her. "As you have seen in this sect, my husband wants to transform this domain into an ideal place where all races live together side by side in harmony, and—"

"Isn't Zhang Fei's ambition too high?" Qi Qingxiu interrupted Duanmu Luolan. "He did manage to gather all the races in this sect, and they seem to have accepted each other's presence well. However, you two must remember that their numbers are too small when compared to the population of this realm, and you cannot ignore the enmity between all the races that has existed for millions of years. If you gather them in large numbers in one domain, I'm sure the situation will not be as peaceful as it is in this sect, and new problems will surely arise among them. If that occurs, chaos will ensue in this domain, and the native inhabitants will suffer due to their presence."

Duanmu Luolan nodded in agreement with Qi Qingxiu. "Naturally, we've already considered the possibility of such a situation occurring, and my husband wouldn't be so crazy as to immediately relocate a large number of people from all four races into this domain. He will select people from the four races who are truly worthy of moving to this domain, and he will relocate them gradually, starting on a small scale. He will bring several new groups of people here once they can accept each other like those who live in this sect, so they can adapt more quickly with the help of the previous groups."

"Still, I think Zhang Fei's idea is too crazy." Qi Qingxiu said this with a headshake. "In my opinion, it would be much better if he conquered all of those domains and appointed several people to lead each one afterward."

Duanmu Luolan and Liao Hanxue were momentarily stunned before exchanging strange glances, especially since Qi Qingxiu's idea was much more ambitious than Zhang Fei's.

Liao Hanxue directly spoke to Qi Qingxiu. "Demon God Qingxiu, isn't your idea too absurd? There are a hundred domains in this Paradise Realm, and many powerful old cultivators inhabit each domain. Do you think those people will be willing to submit to Zhang Fei? Many of them have indeed decided to join him, like you. However, there are still countless powerful cultivators out there, and they will definitely give him a fierce fight if he wants to conquer their domains."

"I'm not saying that Zhang Fei has to do it right now, okay?" Qi Qingxiu responded with a shake of her head. "You may not be aware that he has already overthrown the Fairy King, Jia Zizhen, from his throne. Therefore—"

"What?" Liao Hanxue exclaimed in shock before looking at Duanmu Luolan. "Is that true? Has Zhang Fei really succeeded in topping the Fairy King?"

"Hehe." Duanmu Luolan giggled. "Didn't you already know about my husband's actions against the Fei Clan? So, you shouldn't be surprised to hear that he succeeded in overthrowing the Fairy King, right?"
