Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son-Chapter 1577: Enemies?

Zhang Fei was in a scorching desert, coupled with extreme pressure pressing down on him from above and heavy gravity pulling him down. However, none of those conditions mattered to him because he had adapted to the 256 times heavier gravity, and he also possessed the ice and water elements.

"Sigh," Zhang Fei sighed as he sat leisurely in the desert, enveloped by his water and element domains, which made the heat completely imperceptible to him. "How long will this challenge last? All the physical challenges in this tower are useless and a waste of time for me."

[Master, I detected something unusual from this area.]

"What’s that?"

[I detected a strong presence of someone or something, but I couldn’t track its location.]

Zhang Fei furrowed his brows and opened the system map, but he didn’t find a single dot in all areas of the place, which proved that he was alone there. "Is your detection not wrong, Mei? There’s nothing here, except for this scorching desert."

[It can’t be wrong, Master. I can detect that presence, but I can’t track its location, as it’s hidden somewhere.]

Zhang Fei himself knew that Mei was never wrong, and she always managed to detect everything beforehand, which always smoothed his journey. Yet, he couldn’t find anything there, even after he spread his senses throughout the area.

The mysterious man who had previously met Feng Yao was standing high up in the sky, observing him seriously, without either him or Mei noticing. "This kid is the only person who can stop those shadowy creatures, but he must find the location of the creature’s main body first. Unfortunately, I can’t find its location, so he must try to find and kill it himself."

Before long, the mysterious man saw Zhang Fei disappear from that place, so he also immediately left that place.

Zhang Fei had returned to the first floor of the Tower of Eternity, and he saw many people from the Divine Samsara Sect already there. He only recognized a few of them, especially those who had attended the briefing when he was about to enter the Forgotten Land years ago.

Zhang Fei saw Yue Qianrou and the others already standing in their spots, but sweat drenched their bodies from the previous effort to fight against the gravity. After they stabilized their breath, they immediately stepped forward before being sent to several different places for the next challenge.

Since he didn’t see Yue Xuelian there, Zhang Fei was sure she was facing challenges elsewhere. He wasn’t worried about her because she had been training in his training space for so long, and he was confident she could overcome any challenges that came her way.

Zhang Fei saw Wang Yusheng and Wang Jingzhi, and the two of them had no difficulty moving forward because they had already reached the second floor before. He looked at Luo Yunxiao, Feng Yao, Nalan Wangzi, and Helian Xun’er, who were a little far in front of him.

Zhang Fei knew from the start that Luo Yunxiao would have no difficulty with all the challenges because she had been training in the training space since he first came to the Paradise Realm, and she also had the overpowered Heaven-Earth Reversal Physique. He wasn’t surprised that Feng Yao could move forward so easily, especially because of her other identity as a primordial, Shen Yuanzhi. Although he was a little surprised by Nalan Wangzhi and Helian Xun’er, he was pleased that the two women had no significant difficulty facing the challenges that awaited them.

Zhang Fei wanted to step forward, but he suddenly sensed a powerful, familiar aura arriving. He saw that Li Guangyu and the core disciples of the Divine Samsara Sect had already arrived, but he ignored them and continued his challenge.

"Hmm?" Li Guangyu looked at Zhang Fei and immediately recognized him, but his expression changed after he realized something. ’I didn’t expect him to be the partner of all those women before! I know he’s an elder of the Moonlit Passion Sect, and he’s also brought great changes to the sect, but I never knew he had so many talented women by his side.’

"Why are you looking at that man, Vice Sect Master?" Hua Liuying asked, glancing at Zhang Fei.

"That young man is the partner of all the previous women, Liuying." Hua Liuying and all the core disciples looked at Wang Tieshan. "Try to feel his qi." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Once again, Hua Liuying and all the core disciples observed Zhang Fei, and they immediately realized the truth of Wang Tieshan’s words. She and all the female disciples were a little surprised by that, but they didn’t care much about him because he was a dual cultivator with dozens of partners.

On the contrary, Wang Tieshan and the male disciples stared at Zhang Fei’s back with envy and hatred, mainly because all those women had the beauty to topple any kingdom.

"Look over there, Brother Tieshan." Wang Tieshan followed the direction pointed by a male disciple, where he saw Wang Yusheng and Wang Jingzhi. "Aren’t those two your cousins?"

Wang Tieshan nodded slightly. "We don’t need to pay attention to weaklings like them, and we should focus on our own matters."

"Move now and reach the second floor as soon as possible! Whoever manages to reach that floor first, our Sect Master will reward that person."

Wang Tieshan, Hua Liuying, and all the core disciples became even more eager to face all the challenges on the first floor. They immediately spread out and began their challenges, but most were automatically sent elsewhere.

Just as he was about to step forward, Li Guangyu saw Yue Xuelian just returning from the previous challenge. "Sect Master Yue?"

Yue Xuelian froze for a moment as she recognized Li Guangyu’s voice, but she was already prepared to face him and all the elders of the Divine Samsara Sect. She turned around and looked at him. "I didn’t expect to meet you here, Vice Sect Master Li."

"Me too," Li Guangyu then asked her. "Ancestor Yue Ningxue repeatedly contacted you but never got through, and she asked Yue Qianrou and the others to find the location of our domain, but they refused her and enraged her."

"I’ve heard about the matter, but they wouldn’t have made a move without my orders because I’m the sect master of the Celestial Moon Sect, and I was still in seclusion at the time."

"Were you really in seclusion at that time?"

"I entered seclusion long before the changes that occurred in the Paradise Realm, and I only came out a few days ago."

"Then, how did you end up here now?"

"Someone brought me and my sect members here to train."

"Who is that person?"

"Her." Yue Xuelian pointed to Feng Yao in the distance after receiving Zhang Fei’s voice transmission.

Li Guangyu looked at Feng Yao, who was watching him from afar. "Did Empress Huo really bring you here? Since when did you become so close to her?"

"If you don’t believe me, you can ask her directly, Vice Sect Master Li." Li Guangyu’s lips twitched at Yue Xuelian’s statement, knowing that he would never dare to ask Feng Yao. "Since we’re in this tower now, we should focus on all the challenges ahead of us, and we’ll discuss other matters after we leave this place."

"Yes,"

"I will continue my challenge now, Vice Sect Master Li."

Li Guangyu simply nodded at her, but he was surprised when Yue Xuelian moved forward swiftly as if there was no obstacle in her way. He quickly contacted Liang Huizhong, and he informed him of the presence of people from the Celestial Moon Sect in the Tower of Eternity so his sect master could inform Yue Ningxue.

After that, Li Guangyu began his challenge, but pressure pressed him from above and strong gravity pulled him down. Fortunately, he had challenged the tower several times in the past, and his cultivation was already very high, at the 3-Sun Celestial Venerable Realm, making both of them ineffective.

Meanwhile, Liang Huizhong walked into a cave filled with ice, where a woman sat cross-legged on an ice bed.

"Ancestor Ningxue, I have received news of the whereabouts of the members of the Celestial Moon Sect." Yue Ningxue immediately opened her eyes and looked at Liang Huizhong with her icy blue eyes. "Lu Guangyu is at the Tower of Eternity now, and he met Yue Xuelian there. She told him that she was in seclusion before the great changes that occurred in this realm, and she only came out a few days ago."

"Are the others also in that tower?"

"He only met Yue Xuelian, but she told him that Empress Huo brought her and the others to that tower."

"Empress Huo?" Yue Ningxue frowned. "Since when did she have connections with the Celestial Moon Sect?"

"I don’t have any clear information about their relationship, Ancestor."

"How long is the journey to the Glazed Heaven Domain?"

"About a month, Ancestor."

"About a month," Yue Ningxue muttered to herself, pondering a few things.

"The major changes that occurred in this Paradise Realm a few years ago made travel difficult, Ancestor. My people have been searching for the location of the Celestial Moon Domain for the past few years, but they still haven’t managed to find it. So far, we’ve only managed to find around twenty other domains, but most of them are just small domains."

Yue Ningxue nodded in understanding and got off her ice bed. "Since a month won’t be enough to complete all the challenges in the Tower of Eternity, I’ll go to the Glazed Heaven Domain to meet Yue Xuelian and the others myself."

"Yes, Ancestor."
