"Hey, Feng Yao! Can you come out?"

*Swoosh*

A lump of crimson flame shot out from Zhang Fei’s body and transformed into Feng Yao, causing Qi Qingxiu to subconsciously take a few steps back from them.

Feng Yao briefly glanced at Qi Qingxiu before asking Zhang Fei, "Do you want to know my opinion on whether it’s worth transforming this domain?"

"What do you think about it?"

"Let me show you something first." After Feng Yao waved her hand, a few qi screens appeared in front of them. "All of these are my memories regarding the Ancient Realm, so you should be able to decide after you watch them."

Zhang Fei said nothing, and they watched all of Feng Yao’s memories. However, the memories that appeared on those screens shocked them because the ancient realm was different from their previous imagination, and the situation there was much more chaotic than in the Paradise Realm; even many areas were ruined.

"Do you understand now?" They nodded to Feng Yao, who immediately removed the screen. "The ancient realm is different from what you previously imagined, and survival there is much more difficult. Furthermore, the two realms are not that different, and the cultivators of both realms cultivate using celestial qi, so it makes no difference wherever you live. It’s just that the civilization there is much older than this realm, and they have many resources that are not available here, so they are better than the people of this realm in some ways. If I wanted to, I could have brought Huo Lanyin and the others to that realm long ago, but I never brought them there because of the harsh conditions there. Additionally, a lot of time has passed since I last went there, and I’m sure the situation there is much worse than before."

Zhang Fei nodded in understanding. "In that case, I’ll use this domain as my main base, just as you used the Blazing Nirvana Domain as yours."

"This domain is indeed the best choice for all of you, especially with the existence of the Celestial Yang Lake and the Celestial Yin Lake. Other domains lack both of them, and you control them now." Feng Yao looked around the domain first before continuing. "Additionally, you have many advantages that other cultivators don’t have, and you can utilize them to improve the quality of this domain. This way, this domain will be much better than the others, and it will be a perfect sanctuary for you and everyone around you."

"Yeah, you’re right." Zhang Fei agreed with Feng Yao. "What do you think if I install aerial formations to restrict the ability to fly in this domain?"

Feng Yao momentarily raised an eyebrow. "It doesn’t matter if you want to install such formations, but you must compensate the sects and cities in this domain; otherwise, your decision will backfire on you. You can build a place in the outermost area of this domain to place several teleportation devices or formations for them to travel as usual, and you can protect that place with some other formations."

"Phew." Zhang Fei exhaled heavily. "All of that costs a lot of money."

"Haha." Feng Yao laughed at that. "There’s no such thing as a free lunch, okay? Unlike you, I can protect all my people with my strength, and no one dares to challenge me, so I don’t need such things to protect them. If you would rather not waste money, you should think of a way to reach the Celestial God Realm and evolve into the ten-tailed fox as soon as possible, and no one will dare to challenge you at that time, including the four perils."

"Tch!" Zhang Fei gritted his teeth. "You already know that I’ve spent two decades in seclusion, but I’ve only managed to reach this stage. If I want to reach the Celestial God Realm, I’ll probably have to be in seclusion for several hundred years."

"You should be grateful that you’ve reached this stage in less than three decades." Feng Yao shook her head at Zhang Fei. "No one has managed to do it in the past, and no one will ever be able to do it in the future."

"Do I look ungrateful?" Zhang Fei released a soft sigh. "Hey, I need your help to go to the Ten Thousand Beast Grave Domain, and I’ll meet the ten-tailed fox’s gluttonous soul there."

"When do you want to go there?"

"Today."

"Alright." Feng Yao’s approval delighted Zhang Fei. "After you meet and fuse with the ten-tailed fox’s gluttonous soul, I want you to go to the Zhang Clan in the Starfall Martial Domain, and they will become valuable allies for you."

"The Zhang Clan, huh? Alright, I will go to that clan after the ten-tailed fox’s gluttonous soul merges with my soul." After Feng Yao turned into crimson flame and re-entered his body, Zhang Fei spoke to the four female dryads. "Summon your subordinates to come, and we will start everything today."

"Okay." The three dryads immediately contacted their subordinates to meet them.

Zhang Fei summoned his four clones from the training sect, and the four immediately went to the other supreme sects in the domain to inform them of his plans.

"Yunxiao, please return to the sect and tell Luolan to prepare those formations." Luo Yunxiao immediately flew back to the sect to meet Duanmu Luolan and Liao Hanxue, and Zhang Fei contacted several other people and asked them to bring their subordinates to see him.

A while later, hundreds of dryads landed there, followed by several races from the natural and beast races.

Oliver, Tanbar, Persix, Gravir, and the others led the natural races of the Sky Jade Realm.

Xian Linghua, Xue Jingling, Xian Jinglan, Lei Ting, and the others led the natural races of the Nine Stars Realm.

Qian Chaoying, Ju Xing, Ju Tan, and Ren Shou led the natural races of the Sovereign Heaven Realm.

Long Huang, Long Baiyun, Long Chen, and Long Tian led the beast races from the Nine Stars Realm.

The beasts’ ancestors, such as Zhu Hong, Feng Zhen, Fu Yin, Nu Ying, and others, led the beast races from the upper realms.

After they gathered, Zhang Fei immediately explained his grand plan for the Twin Flames Domain to them in as much detail as possible, and he also assigned them several tasks according to their respective abilities.

All of them were shocked by Zhang Fei’s sudden decision and plan, but they could understand his determination to make the domain the perfect shelter for them. After all, they were still too weak compared to the natives of the Paradise Realm, so they agreed to follow his plan, and they immediately dispersed to various areas after he divided them into several groups.

Zhang Fei asked Tian Kui and Serpentera to meet him, and he instructed the two ancient beasts to suppress anyone who dared to disturb their work.

A few minutes later, Feng Yao’s real body arrived in front of Zhang Fei, and she immediately took him away from the Twin Flames Domain.

[Ding]

[The system has already recorded the Ten Thousand Beast Grave Domain, and the host can access it through the gate in the future.]

Before they entered the domain, Feng Yao had already used a special artifact to hide their presence and aura, preventing the four perils from detecting them.

Feng Yao immediately took Zhang Fei to a remote area in the Ten Thousand Beast Grave Domain, where Dong Xuanyin’s pond was located.

"How did you know they were here?" Feng Yao simply smiled at Zhang Fei before leading him into the pond.

Dong Xuanyin, who was sleeping on her coral, immediately opened her eyes as soon as she sensed their arrival. After a moment of being stunned, she jumped down and hid behind the coral, especially since she was naked. ’Tch! This woman must be the reincarnation of Empress Huo Yanling; otherwise, this kid wouldn’t be able to enter my place.’

"Haha." Feng Yao softly laughed. "It’s useless for you to hide because he has already seen your naked body clearly, Dong Xuanyin."

Dong Xuanyin’s lips twitched in response. "He wouldn’t have seen me naked if you hadn’t led him to break into my residence."

"Too late." Feng Yao looked at the statue behind Dong Xuanyin. "Hey! Come out now, Hu Tianlang."

Soon, Hu Tianlang’s gluttony soul appeared before them, looking at Zhang Fei. "You moved faster than I expected, kid."

"If Feng Yao hadn’t helped me, I wouldn’t have been able to come to this domain today, old fox." Zhang Fei sat cross-legged and released his soul. "Can we start now?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Hu Tianlang replied with a shake of his head. "Have you prepared a large amount of food? This soul contains my gluttonous nature, remember? Once we start the process, you will feel extreme hunger, and you will need a lot of food to satisfy your hunger; otherwise, your beast instincts will take over, and you will eat whatever or whoever is next to you."

"Naturally, I wouldn’t come here unprepared, old fox." Zhang Fei immediately took out some large, neatly cut, and cleaned beast meat from the system’s inventory. "I don’t know how strong your gluttonous nature is, but I’ve prepared far more than this. Moreover, my four clones are out there right now, and they can search for beasts anywhere, so I think all my preparations should be enough."

Hu Tianlang looked at the pile of beast meat. "Let’s do it then."
