Chapter 1239: Jia Zizhen’s Threat
The further they advanced, Zhang Fei and the three women could feel the increasingly cold chill. "How can this area be this cold?"
"Have you ever heard of Qi veins in our world?" Feng Bingying asked back.
Zhang Fei nodded at her. "I’ve encountered one in the past, but it was only a low-grade Qi vein. All realms or domains have them, but their quality and grade vary, with the highest being peak grade."
"Yes." Feng Bingying then told him. "There are special Qi veins in this domain, but they are centered in the area in front of us, and we call them the Eternal Icy Qi Veins because they continuously emit an incomparable coldness. Even though his golden flame is one of the best in this universe, Long Wuzhao would have to think twice about setting foot in that area because the coldness there can rival his flames. Although you have several bloodline beasts with a strong affinity for the fire element, I wouldn’t dare to take you to that place if you didn’t possess our ice phoenix bloodline and icy cold flames."
"Can’t his golden crow flame be used in that place, Ancestor?" Feng Xueying asked.
"No." Feng Bingying then spoke to Zhang Fei. "Try using your golden crow flame."
"Alright." Zhang Fei stretched his hand forward and tried to use it, but his golden crow flame immediately disappeared because of the coldness in that area. "Holy shit! I often rely on my golden crow flame to fight my enemies, but my flame immediately disappeared here."
Feng Bingying smiled upon hearing that. "Once we arrive in that area, you guys will feel an even more terrifying cold. In this universe, nothing can match the coldness of our ice phoenix race, and this place greatly amplifies our cold. In the past, the four perils repeatedly attacked other domains, but they never once dared to set foot in this domain. If they dare to invade our domain, we will freeze and imprison them for the rest of their lives."
"Can’t you just kill them?" Feng Jinqiu asked in confusion.
"Jinqiu, all the ice phoenixes here, including Ancestor Shizhu, are mythical beasts. Meanwhile, the four perils have already surpassed us, and all of them are immortal beasts like the Ancient Leiyu Tianlu. Although our cultivation level matches theirs, the disparity in our beast ranks prevents us from killing them." Feng Jinqiu nodded in understanding to Feng Bingying, who then warned Zhang Fei. "All this time, you can suppress other beasts with your beast aura because you are a mythical rank beast, but you will not be able to suppress the four perils, and they will suppress you instead. If you encounter any of them, you must flee immediately. The only ones who can fight them now are Long Wuzhao, Long Xukong, and Tianshi Bailong."
Zhang Fei was aware of this, and it was the reason he had to flee when Xereth summoned Taotie’s avatar twice in the past. "How can Feng Shizhu’s beast rank still be at mythical rank? She has lived for a very long time, right?"
"Ancestor Shizu has lived for more than a million years, but upgrading our beast rank to the immortal rank is not as easy as you imagine. According to what I heard, Taotie and the other three spent several million years reaching that rank, and they used many cruel methods to achieve it, such as absorbing many mythical-rank beasts." Feng Bingying’s answer didn’t surprise Zhang Fei because he had heard a lot from Tian Kui and Serpentera, and their race almost became extinct because of it. "The fastest beast to reach the immortal rank is Long Wuzhao, so you can ask him about it."
Zhang Fei nodded at her. "Since I am already in this main domain, I will visit Long Wuzhao in the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain after I learn the initial stage of both techniques."
"That’s good."
Before long, they had arrived at the area Feng Bingying had mentioned before, where they saw Feng Shizhu and dozens of young women cultivating seriously.
However, they were not clustered in one place; instead, they were sitting separately in a few groups, surrounding Feng Shizhu, who sat in the center.
Zhang Fei was stunned to see them cultivating naked, and his expression made Feng Bingying sigh in her heart. ’Is he considering eating them? I don’t understand why Ancestor Shizhu let him come here.’
Unlike Feng Bingying, the three women behind Zhang Fei did not think that way, especially Zhang Yue. She could see that he was not aroused by their naked bodies, as his dick did not react to the beautiful sight in front of them.
"Let’s start cultivating here."
"Yes." Zhang Yue, Feng Xueying, and Feng Jinqiu were overjoyed.
Feng Bingying hurriedly reminded them. "For now, the three of you don’t go to the middle area, and you guys must cultivate in this side area. After you get used to the cold, you can move to deeper areas."
"What about Fei’er?"
Feng Bingying immediately explained to Zhang Yue, "Unlike you three, Zhang Fei possesses several bloodline beasts with a high affinity for the fire element, and he also possesses several types of flames within his body. He can use them to withstand the cold there, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him to cultivate in the center together with Ancestor Shizhu."
Zhang Yue nodded in understanding and sat down at her spot, followed by Feng Xueying and Feng Jinqiu. "Fei’er, I will cultivate here."
"Alright." Zhang Fei floated to the center and sat beside Feng Shizhu, who was still closing her eyes, even though she had long sensed their presence. He closed his eyes and began to absorb the ice qi in that place while learning both body cultivation techniques simultaneously.
Since both techniques required extreme cold to master them, Zhang Fei’s five clones couldn’t learn them from their places. He had to rely on himself to learn both, but it wasn’t a big problem for him because he was already more experienced as a cultivator, and he had also learned some techniques that were much more difficult than the two.
Feng Bingying observed Zhang Fei for some time, and she was relieved that he didn’t have any lewd thoughts about her ancestors and race members. She decided to join them at the center, and she took off her clothes before starting her cultivation.

As Tianshi Shengjie had expected, the Fairy King, Jia Zizhen, detected Zhang Fei’s presence in the Divine Origin Main Domain. He immediately gathered several of his subordinates, including Jia Yuyan’s grandparents, Jia Lingzhu and Jia Shengyun.
Many of them were overjoyed to hear the news because they had been waiting a long time for the successor of the ten-tailed fox to come to their domain, but some others were not happy with the news because they never wanted the return of the ten-tailed fox, just like their emperor.
Both Jia Lingzhu and Jia Shengyun were shocked as soon as Jia Zizhen informed them of Zhang Fei’s presence in the Divine Origin Main Domain, as he came so suddenly. Back then, they warned him not to come before his cultivation reached the Celestial Emperor Realm, but he didn’t listen to them, leaving them wondering about the reason behind his recklessness.
However, Jia Zizhen was still unaware that one of the elders of his fairy race, Jia Fengli, had long been Zhang Fei’s spy. After all, he did not use a slave mark to control the old fairy; instead, he used other methods to keep his actions against him under wraps.
"What are your plans for Zhang Fei, Emperor?" Jia Shengyun asked.
Jia Lingzhu also asked him. "Will you invite him to our domain and take him to the fox statue, Emperor?"
"Do you think I’ll let him go there?" Jia Zizhen then spoke to them. "I did detect Zhang Fei’s presence in the main domain, but he has gone to the Ice Phoenix Domain. No one can enter that place, including me, because the cold there will freeze us the moment we enter. Therefore, we can only wait for him to leave that domain, and I will meet him by myself to invite him to come to our domain."
’Do you think we are stupid? We know for sure you want to kill him.’ Jia Lingzhu and Jia Shengyun inwardly grumbled.
"What about your granddaughter?" Jia Lingzhu and Jia Shengyun looked at Jia Zizhen directly. "Do you think I’m stupid? Zhang Fei has already arrived in this realm, so Jia Yuyan should have already returned. Furthermore, I can sense her faint aura from both of you, so I’m sure she’s in this realm."
Jia Lingzhu and Jia Shengyun were shocked by this, as they had already removed Jia Yuyan’s aura from their bodies, yet Jia Zizhen could still detect it.
Jia Zizhen immediately released his aura and suppressed the two of them, forcing them to kneel on the ground. "Are you two trying to rebel against me? Jia Yuyan is destined to be my wife, and if you two deliberately hide her from me, I will consider your actions treason. You two must hand her over to me now; otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."
"Emperor, we—"
Jia Zhen and the others were stunned when a void suddenly opened in front of them, accompanied by loud laughter. "Hahaha!"
Jia Zizhen frowned as Long Wuzhao and Long Xukong walked out of it, and the golden dragon emperor dispelled his aura. "What do you mean by this, Dragon Emperor?"
