"So when are we going to enter the subspace?"
"Hmm?" Ling Yun directly explained. "Since the heart of the Central Forest will also be carried into the subspace, and there are many beasts living in it, I will discuss it with them first. If they want to come with us, then I will still let them stay, but vice versa."
"That's good." Yi Mingxia nodded in agreement. "I hope many of them decide to stay, for they are very useful to help us train, and we don't need to leave this place to train elsewhere."
Ling Yun himself had also thought about it, so his women could practice in peace without having to think about the situation outside. "Even so, the beasts won't be able to help us forever, and we still have to go out after we go to the higher realms."
"Sigh, you're right about that; we still have to familiarize ourselves with the conditions and situations in the higher realms." Yi Mingxia replied with a soft sigh, and then she gave her idea. "How about you ask Aunt Bing'er and Aunt Yujie for help? After all, they are pureblood phoenixes, and they should be able to persuade the beasts more easily."
"I-"
Yi Mingxia directly covered her son's mouth. "I know that you can do it yourself, but I'm sure the beasts will definitely feel compelled to stay, especially since they are so terrified of you. That's why I want them both to talk to them and persuade them more calmly, so none of them will feel that way."
Ling Yun pulled his mother's hand down and replied. "All right, but I'm sure the beasts won't decide so quickly."
"That's fine, right?" Yi Mingxia replied as she smiled. "Moreover, Lian Bing will also break through soon, so I don't think we need to rush."
"All right, I'll go meet them right now." After saying that, Ling Yun went to the two Feng Ancestors and told them about his plans, and they immediately agreed to help him persuade the beasts.
Ling Yun then went to see Ling Yin, Zhao Yao, Ye Jing, and Tang Zhiyi. Unlike when his cultivation was still in the Core Realm, he could now give his partner mark to four women at once after his cultivation broke through to the Soul Realm, which was because his soul had become much stronger than before.

After everything was settled, Ling Yun immediately returned to his room, and he directly contacted his big sister through the Harem Connection. 'Hey, Ling'er! What about Bing'er's situation? Has she shown any signs of breaking through yet?'
[After we returned from Yunlong Zuzhai, Sister Bing immediately entered seclusion in the snowy peak, and my grandmaster said that she would break through in a day or two.]
'A day or two, huh?' Ling Yun muttered under his breath. 'All right then, I will go to the Lotus Sect tomorrow morning, and I will accompany her in seclusion.'
[Hehe, that's good; I'm sure Sister Bing will be happy to have you by her side.]
After he chatted with his big sister for some time, Ling Yun directly brought Azalea and Lucille out of the Yin-Yang Chamber. "What are you going to do with them? Don't tell me that you want to absorb their souls."
"They're still useful to me now, so I won't be absorbing their souls. However, I'm curious about how they can improve their strengths, especially since I don't have any information about them. Even Tang Xiao doesn't leave any information about them in Xiao Yin's database, so I want to check them out first." Ling Yun then looked at Lucille. "Tell me, how do you guys increase your strengths? And how do you guys strengthen your Mana Crystals?"
"Master, in order to strengthen your Mana Crystal, you must absorb other people's Mana Crystals." Ling Yun and Ling Xi were shocked to hear that, and Lucille continued. "As for increasing our strength, we usually use potions and some other items."
"Are there no other methods to increase your strength?" Ling Yun asked her again.
Lucille shook her head at him. "We Mana users are different from you cultivators, so there's no other way to increase our strength."
Ling Yun didn't think too much about it, especially since he was a cultivator, but he was very concerned about strengthening his Mana Crystal. "Does that mean you guys are using your race members' Mana Crystals to strengthen yours?"
Lucille nodded at him. "Even so, we only use Mana Crystals from those who are nearing their deaths, and we also take them from the criminals in our realm, or those we label as failures."
"Are there any other advantages if we absorb other people's Mana Crystals?" Ling Xi asked her.
"No." Lucille answered with a shake of her head. "Although our abilities are stored in our Mana Crystals, not all abilities are compatible with our bodies, so there is no other benefit other than strengthening ours."
Ling Yun nodded in understanding and muttered to himself. "In that case, I have to capture Travis and the others later, and I will take theirs to strengthen mine."
"I think it's fine, and those people will no longer be a threat to this place." Ling Xi then asked him. "Are you going to send Azalea back to their realm?"
Ling Yun nodded and explained it to her. "I believe Travis still doesn't know that Tang Lin is dead, let alone that Azalea is under my control now, and I will use her ability to control the rest of the God Kings."
"Well, that's a good idea." Ling Xi immediately agreed with him. "That way, we don't have to bother fighting them, and we can destroy them from the inside."
Ling Yun laughed softly upon hearing that. "Haha! I can't wait to see Travis' reaction when he finds out that his people betrayed him."
However, Lucille immediately told him. "You're wrong about that, Master. Travis doesn't care about the other God Kings, and he will kill them straight away if he learns of their betrayal later."
Ling Yun and Ling Xi were surprised to hear that. "What do you mean by that? Aren't they Travis' strongest underlings?"
"The current twelve God Kings are strong, but Travis is never satisfied with their strength. That's why he has prepared several people as his special forces, and those people are much stronger than us. However, I can't give you any information about them, for he never revealed their identities to me."
"Even Travis doesn't believe you, even though you are his wife, huh?" Ling Yun was really surprised to hear that.
Lucille nodded at him. "Travis never trusted anyone, and we were just tools in his eyes."
"You shouldn't be surprised by that, Ling Yun." Ling Xi said as she shook her head. "In the supreme realm, everyone only cares about themselves, and they will use anyone to fulfill their ambitions, including their family and friends. That's why I like your current character, because you care so much about your family and friends, but you also have no qualms about taking advantage of your enemies, and I hope you will never become like them."
Ling Yun pulled Ling Xi closer and briefly kissed her lips. "Don't worry, I will never change; my family and friends are my strength, so I will never use all of you to fulfill my ambitions."
After that, Ling Yun sent Lucille into the Celestial Fortress to help Xiao Yin, and Ling Xi took Azalea to the Stone Gate and let her return to her realm.
Ling Yun then informed his women that he was going to the Lotus Sect to accompany Lian Bing in her seclusion, but they immediately rushed to his room in droves.
After all, they didn't know when Lian Bing would break through, and their husbands would definitely keep accompanying her by her side for long, so they wanted to dual cultivate with him first.
Ling Yun laughed at them like that, but he didn't mind their request either, and they dual-cultivated with him for quite a while.
.

Early in the morning, Ling Yun was already standing on a snowy tree not far from the Lotus Sect, but just as he was about to approach the sect, Xue Qin and Xue Lin immediately stopped him.
"Greetings, Seniors." Ling Yung immediately greeted them as he cupped his hands.
"Are you Ling Yun?" Xue Qin asked him.
Ling Yun nodded to her. "Yes, I am. Ling'er told me that Bing'er has gone into seclusion to prepare for her breakthrough, so I immediately came here to accompany her."
The lips of the twin elders twitched upon hearing that. Although they already knew that Lian Bing had accepted Ling Yun as her future husband, they had not yet become husband and wife. Moreover, he was their sect's disciple, so he should still address her by her title.
Xue Lin then said to him. "Follow me; I will escort you to meet her."
"All right." Even though Ling Yun could easily go there, he still respected the rules of the Lotus Sect, so he decided to follow Xue Lin.
However, a sudden surge of powerful Qi that swept through the entire sect area startled them, and Ling Xi pointed at Snowy Peak. "Fortunately, we are here now, or else we will be too late, for Bing'er has already started her breakthrough."
"Elders! I will go there directly." The twin elders nodded to him, and Ling Xi directly brought Ling Yun to the snowy peak.
