"Beautiful!" Ling Yun exclaimed in admiration; even Zhao Yao and Tang Liqin were mesmerized by the beauty of the subspace.
Xiao Yin immediately warned them. [However, you guys cannot go outside the barrier for now, for this subspace is truly outer space, and there is no air outside. Even so, you can go outside the barrier once your cultivation reaches the Five God Realms.]
"Then how do we get in and out of this place?"
Xiao Yin pressed a button, and a box in the corner opened. There were dozens of rings inside it, and she explained it to him. [You can use one of those rings, Master. You can enter and exit this fortress freely using it, and only its owner can use it.]
Ling Yun went to the box and took out one ring, which he put directly on his ring finger. However, something stabbed his finger, and a notification that he was the owner of the ring appeared in his mind. "En, this ring is really good."
Zhao Yao and Tang Liqin also took two rings, but they didn't receive the notification like Ling Yun.
"So what about the members of the Tang Clan? Did some of them return to their clan?" Ling Yun asked Tang Liqin.
Tang Liqin nodded to him. "After you went to Lotus Sect yesterday, some of the women of our clan returned there, but all the men returned there, and only Tang Heng remained here."
"Oh?" Ling Yun was surprised to hear that; it actually didn't matter if they stayed inside the Celestial Fortress.
Tang Liqin sighed softly and explained it to him. "They're not comfortable living here, especially since you have too many women, and they're afraid they can't hold themselves back."
Ling Yun sighed softly and asked her again. "Then what about your relationship with Jiang Chen?"
"Eh?" Tang Liqin turned to him in surprise. "Our relationship is not bad but not good either, especially since he's such a blockhead and doesn't understand women."
"Haha!" Zhao Yao laughed at that. "Husband, you have to teach Jiang Chen to understand women, or he will continue to be like that."
"All right, I'll talk to him later." Ling Yun replied as he nodded.
Zhao Yao then told him again. "Anyway, Yi Shi is attracted to Tang Luo, and they are exploring their relationship now."
"Tang Luo?" Ling Yun raised his eyebrows after hearing that, especially since he only knew a few women from the Tang Clan.
Seeing that, Tang Liqin touched Ling Yun's forehead, and she shared her memories about the identities of the women who remained inside the Celestial Fortress with him.
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "Although Tang Luo is a little chubby, she is quite pretty, and she also looks kind-hearted."
"That's true." Tang Liqin nodded in agreement. "Luo'er is indeed kind-hearted, but she is also an introvert."
"She is similar to Feng Yao." Ling Yun then asked Xiao Yin. "Is Diablo still not awake?"
[Not yet, Master.] Xiao Yin answered with a shake of her head. [However, her strength has gradually recovered, and she will probably wake up once her strength has fully recovered.]
Ling Yun sighed softly after hearing that. "All right, I will return to Yunlong Zuzhai right now."
"I'm coming with you, Husband."
Since Ling Yun wanted to discuss his next plans with his women and also wanted to dual cultivate with them, he asked all of them to gather in his room.

Meanwhile, many strong cultivators have arrived above the sky of the Central Forest, including the Xuanyuan Sisters. However, they were shocked after seeing the condition of the forest, especially since there was only a wide and deep crater right in the middle of it, and they were horrified to see its depth. Moreover, they knew that the place was previously filled with powerful beasts, but that area just disappeared.
"How could this happen?" Xuanyuan Xue'er muttered to herself as her eyes continued to scan the crater. 'Could Ling Yun and the others have done this? If that's true, my previous guess that they lived here was correct, but where did they go now? And what caused the appearance of this crater?'
Xuanyuan Chang'er then tugged on her big sister's sleeve. "What do you think happened here, Big Sis? Didn't you guess that Ling Yun and the others lived in this place before?"
"I don't know." Xuanyuan Xue'er answered with a shake of her head; she then tried to contact Ling Yun, Feng Ruxue, and the ancestor who lived with them. However, she couldn't contact them, especially since the subspace was akin to a separate realm.
Lei Yuntian and Su Jiangwen frowned upon seeing the crater. "Husband, is it true that our daughters went to this forest?"
"Yes." Lei Yuntian nodded to her. "Qianyu told me that Qiuling fled to this forest, and she followed her here, so they should be here."
"But where are they now? Even the entire main area of this forest has become a crater like this." Su Jiangwen asked in a panic, and she was very worried about their daughters.
Lei Yuntian sighed heavily and shook his head at her. He then tried to contact Lei Qianyu and Lei Qiuling, but his efforts were in vain. He then asked Xuanyuan Xue'er. "Matriarch Xuanyuan, do you know anything about what happened to this place? How did this crater suddenly appear here? My daughters were hunting in this area, but this place has become like this now, and I can't contact them either."
"I don't know what exactly happened in this place, Yuntian." Xuanyuan Xue'er replied with a shake of her head. "However, if my guess is correct, this crater might have something to do with Ling Yun."
"Eh?" Not only were Lei Yuntian and Su Jiangwen shocked to hear that, but even the other cultivators were shocked by Xuanyuan Xue'er's words.
Ling Ming suddenly asked her. "What do you mean by that, Matriarch Xuanyuan? How can this crater be related to my grandson?"
"Honestly, I don't have a definite answer about that, and I only guess that Ling Yun and his women lived in this place previously." Xuanyuan Xu'er then paused for a moment before she continued. "During the competition, I tried using my senses to check this place, but my senses were blocked by a very powerful formation array. In my opinion, only the spirit woman beside him could create such a powerful array, so I guessed like that. Moreover, I just tried to contact them, but I couldn't reach them."
"I see." Ling Ming nodded in understanding and asked her again. "What do you think he did to cause a crater this big to appear?"
"I don't know." Xuanyuan Xue'er then turned to the two men who looked worried, and she asked them. "Huo Jun! Huo Yun! Why are you guys so anxious?"
Huo Jun explained it to her directly. "Your guessed was correct, Matriarch Xuanyuan. Ling Yun and the others did live in this forest before, but my son and I did not go to their residence. However, my wife, daughter-in-law, and two daughters have been living with them for several days now, so I feel worried about their safety."
They nodded repeatedly after hearing that, and Xuanyuan Xue'er said to them. "I know you're worried about your family members, but I'm sure nothing bad will happen to them, especially since the spirit woman is with them, and she can definitely protect them."
"That's true." They agreed with Xuanyuan Xue'er, for they were also aware that Ling Xi was very strong.
Xuanyuan Xue'er then said to them again. "Anyway, I talked to Ling Yun before, and he told me that he will be in seclusion for a few days, and we will go straight to the demon realm after he comes out."
They gasped in shock after hearing that, and Lei Yuntian asked her. "Are we really ready to face them, Matriarch Xuanyuan? I know that the spirit woman beside Ling Yun is very strong, but I'm not sure if she will help us fight those demons."
"After all, this place is our land, so we must defend our land with our own abilities." Xuanyuan Xue'er replied as she looked in the direction of the Demon Gate. "Whether the spirit woman is willing to help us or not, we still have to fight those demons. So I ask you to prepare your clan members as best as possible for these few days, and we will destroy them afterwards."
After she said that, Xuanyuan Xue'er took her little sister and left them, and those cultivators also left the place after her.
However, Su Jiangwen kept looking towards the central forest, but she didn't look as anxious as before. 'Haha! If Qiuling and Qianyu are really with Ling Yun now, then I still have a chance to get him as my son-in-law.'

Meanwhile, a giant green peacock approaches two young women who are unconscious near a large tree. The green peacock turned into a beautiful woman with waist-length green hair. She was wearing a green dress that was quite revealing on the top, and the bottom was like peacock feathers, which made her look sexy.
"How did these two women get in here? Previously, we checked and confirmed that there were no other humans in this place." The woman then checked the condition of the two and breathed a sigh of relief. "I have to take them to the Master's residence, or that savage woman will eat them."
