Ling Yun then sat down in front of Ling Xiaofei and the remaining people. "Anyway, I have some plans for those blessed people."
"What are your plans for them?" Xiao Feng asked him.
Ling Yun directly explained to them about Nangong Ying'er and Su Yuan's plans, and he also told them about Mana Cultivator, which shocked them.
Even though Jiang Yuan was an outsider, Ling Xi had already told him that he was not greedy and did not have big ambitions. Meanwhile, the Feng Ancestors, Xiao Feng, Shi Xiaoyin, Ling Xiaofei, and the members of the Long Clans were his family, so Ling Yun decided to tell them about those matters.
Jiang Yuan then asked him. "Is it true that we can also absorb Mana like them?"
"Yes." Ling Yun directly opened his hand and used his black flames.
"Hmm?" The Feng Ancestors instantly raised their eyebrows upon seeing that. After all, both of them were pureblood phoenixes, and they both had an extremely high affinity for the Fire Element, so they could sense significant changes in Ling Yun's black flames.
Feng Bing'er asked seriously. "Is it because you have already absorbed Mana? I can feel your black flames much stronger and more intense than before, and they make me feel horror."
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded to her. "Xiao Yin has created an artificial Mana Crystal in my body, and I have also absorbed Mana, which has increased the quality and power of my black flames."
"Xiao Yin? Who is she? How come I never heard of her?" Xiao Feng asked him in confusion.
Ling Xiaofei told him directly. "Old Feng, Xiao Yin is not a member of your Xiao Clan, but Ling Yun referred to him as an AI."
"AI?" Xiao Feng was surprised to hear that. "I've heard people in the outside world talk about AI, but I don't understand what they mean by that."
"Grandpa Xiao, it's hard for me to explain to you, but AI is an advanced computer program."
Xiao Feng shook his head at Ling Yun. "You don't need to explain it to me; I don't understand such a thing. But where did you find her? And how can she help you create artificial a Mana Crystal?"
"I found Xiao Yin inside the Celestial Fortress."
"The Celestial Fortress?" Xiao Feng and Jiang Yuan looked at Ling Yun in confusion.
Shi Xiaoyin laughed at them and said to them. "The Celestial Fortress is the legacy of a mysterious person who appeared in the Tang Clan in the past, and he created it to ensure that clan's safety. However, Ling Yun was the first to discover it, so he is now the true owner of that place."
"Huh?" The two men were shocked to hear that, and Xiao Feng said. "In the past, I have met that mysterious man once, and I know he is extremely strong; even senior Ling Xi is still weak compared to him."
"You are absolutely right; Tang Xiao is indeed much stronger than me." Ling Xi replied as she nodded in agreement. "After all, he is already at the peak of cultivation in his universe, and he can even travel to other universes. As for me, although I am much stronger than all of you, there are still many cultivators far stronger than me in higher realms, including Ling Yun's Master."
"Tang Xiao, huh?" The two men muttered to themselves, and Jiang Yuan asked confusedly. "But what do you mean about other universes, Senior?"
Ling Xi sighed at his question. "Honestly, I never knew about other universes before meeting Tang Xiao, and I only learned about them from him, so I can't explain anything to you two. However, I dare to confirm that he is not boasting, and other universes do exist, but we can't go to other universes."
"I see." Jiang Yun nodded and didn't ask any further about it, especially since Ling Xi had already said that.
Xiao Xi suddenly asked him. "Yun'er, who exactly is Meng Xianzi? Would it be fine if Yuyi went with her to the higher realms?"
"You don't need to worry about Yuyi, Mother-in-law." Ling Yun replied as he smiled. "Meng Xianzi is the best assassin in this universe, so she will definitely be very safe by her side, and she will help her to quickly become strong."
"An assassin?" Xiao Xi and Yu Die gasped in shock after hearing that.
Ling Xi instantly calmed them down. "You two don't need to worry about her, especially since Meng Xianzi has already accepted Long Yuyi as her disciple. She will definitely protect her well, and no strong cultivator will be able to harm her under her protection."
"I see." The two women nodded in understanding.
"So when are you going to help us absorb Mana, Ling Yun?" Feng Yujie asked him.
"Xiao Yin is currently focused on building a few things for my residence, so she will help you guys absorb the Mana after everything is done." Ling Yun then asked them. "So which of you plans to go to those blessed people's realm later?"
"I will go there." Ling Xiaofei, Shi Xiaoyin, Xiao Feng, and Jiang Yuan answered in unison.
As for the Feng Ancestors, they decided not to go to their realm, and they chose to go to the Demon Realm together with Ling Yun instead.
Ling Yun nodded to them. "All right then, after Xiao Yin finishes everything, I will ask her to create artificial Mana Crystals inside your bodies, so you can start absorbing Mana afterwards."
After they talked about a few other things, Ling Yun immediately returned to Yunlong Zuzhai, and he brought Xiao Xi and Yu Die with him.

Ling Yun immediately went to Mu Lingxue's room, but he overheard the core disciples from the Lotus Sect teasing her about him. 'Sigh, not only ordinary women, but even female cultivators like them also like to gossip.'
In the end, Ling Yun did not disturb them, and he went to Nalan Qing's room directly.
Seeing Ling Yun, Nalan Qing immediately dashed away from him as she asked in a frightened voice. "What... What are you going to do to me?"
"Hmm? What do you think I'd do to you?" Ling Yun asked back as he approached Nalan Qing, and he also restricted her movements with his aura, which made her fear him even more.
Once he arrived in front of her, Ling Yun directly grabbed her neck. "Heh! You don't need to be this afraid of me; I won't do anything indecent to you. Since you are a spy for the Shui Clan and they have all died at my hands, you should accompany them in the afterlife. But I won't kill you now, and you can enjoy the last few days of your life. However, I will soon break through to the Soul Realm, and that will be the day you die."
After he said that, Ling Yun immediately let her go and left the room, and Nalan Qing slumped helplessly on the floor as she sobbed at her fate.

Ling Xi then asked him. "Are you really going to use that Elemental Creation Technique on her?"
"Yes." Ling Yun replied with a firm nod. "Nalan Qing is my enemy, and she is also of no use to me, so I will not be merciful to her. Even though that technique is more sinister than the Demon Creation Manual, I will still use it on her."
Ling Xi nodded in understanding and didn't mind it. "Unlike the Demon Creation Manual, Nalan Qing will completely become your familiar if you use the technique on her, and she will have no consciousness at all."
"I know." Ling Yun then asked her. "In your opinion, what effect will it have on me if I turn Nalan Qing into my familiar?"
"Hmm?" Ling Xi thought for some time before answering him. "Since Nalan Qing has the Ice Element, I think she will become your Ice Familiar later. Even though it won't directly affect your elemental rank, it will still boost your Ice Element. Moreover, you can use your familiar to fight alongside you, and it will never die as long as you don't run out of Qi."
"En." Even though Ling Yun had not purchased the technique, he had already read through the technique description, so he had more or less understood the effects of the technique. "Then what about her strength? Will her strength remain the same if I turn Nalan Qing into my familiar?"
"I don't think so." Ling Xi replied with a shake of her head. "If I pay attention to the description of the technique, your familiar's strength depends on your cultivation and element rank, so I'm sure her strength will be much higher once she becomes your familiar, especially since you've also absorbed mana by now."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding and returned to his room, but he laughed when he saw Yi Mingxia and his other women already waiting there, and they were also ready to dual cultivate with him; only Lian Bing was absent because she was still embarrassed to do it together with them. "You guys are so impatient, huh?"
"Of course!" They all answered in unison.
"After all, we will be going to the higher realms sooner than we originally thought, so we want to increase our cultivation as soon as possible, Son." Yi Mingxia said as she pulled her son onto the bed, and they quickly took turns dual cultivating with Ling Yun.
