Looking out at the azure sea, the sound of waves crashing against the beach rises and falls. Shells, shrimp, and crabs can be seen on the beach from time to time, and several seagulls are flying freely on the surface of the sea.

Zhang Xingfeng and *** Yan were sitting together on a smooth rock, gazing at the beautiful view of the sea under the morning sun.

Three years have passed, a full three years. Under the flowers and moon, along rivers and lakes, in the frigid snow-capped mountains, in the idyllic Kunlun hot springs, in the flower sea of Luoyang... In every beautiful place, their footprints of happiness remain.

These three years also marked the beginning of a shift in the power dynamics of the Aristocratic Clan. The Star Peak Family, as the fifth aristocratic Aristocratic Clan, made a powerful entrance, possessing far more skilled experts than any of the other aristocratic Aristocratic Clan. Furthermore, they almost monopolized the fur trade, gambling industry, and jade industry, and had begun to rival the Li Family.

Li Yang still clings to his position as the number one Aristocratic Clan by relying on the incredibly profitable smuggled salt, but it is clear that the rise of the Star Peak Family is now unstoppable.

The Shi Family and the Zhang Family are roughly equal in strength. In the past, the Shi Family had the Demonic Sect as its backer, which gave it an edge over the Zhang Family. Now, the Zhang Family has the Star Peak Family, which has even more experts, as its backer. In addition, there is Tianyu Tower and Dark Blood, so the Zhang Family's strength is slightly higher than that of the Shi Family.

The Yuwen Family remained in last place. The death of Yuwen Huaji enraged the Yuwen Family Yuwen Family, leading to a complete break with the Li Family in the cloth trade. Previously, the Li Family hadn't paid much attention to the cloth industry, but the Yuwen Family suddenly surged ahead, seizing a large share of the market. Meanwhile, the Li Family was being attacked in the gambling industry by the Star Peak Family. The Star Peak Family clearly didn't want to give up their small gambling dens. This left the Li Family with no resources left to fight the Yuwen Family!

The current situation of the five great Aristocratic Clan is not very clear.

The Li Family and the Star Peak Family are on the same level. The Li Family's advantage lies in its connections, while the Star Peak Family's advantage lies in its unparalleled power and influence among top experts.

The Shi Family and the Zhang Family are of the same level, with similar power and almost no difference between them. Their struggle is quite fierce, and it is difficult to determine who is stronger or weaker.

The Yuwen Family remains the last one. While the Yuwen Family doesn't have many ordinary Innate Master, they have only produced about ten Golden Core Stage masters in recent years through various methods and Yuwen Huaji Demon Cultivation. This is a significant gap compared to the other Four Great Families.

Zhang Xingfeng sighed inwardly, "Alas... I've wanted to find a good place to establish the Tianxin Sect's mountain gate for a long time, but it's been three years now, and I still haven't found a single place. It seems I shouldn't be so careless."

"Brother Feng, it seems we've explored almost everywhere on the mainland!" ***Yan turned to Zhang Xingfeng and said, her eyes fixed on Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng felt uneasy under her gaze. He knew that such a look meant that she must have some cunning trap waiting for him, but even knowing it was a trap, Zhang Xingfeng was willing to jump in.

"Yes," Zhang Xingfeng replied, looking at Michelle Yan, whose smile was growing even brighter.

"Well... Brother Feng, I'm at the early stage of the Golden Core realm now. I can fly on a sword too, right?" ***'s smile widened even more.

Zhang Xingfeng could only nod. Over the past three years, Zhang Xingfeng had used dual cultivation to cleanse the marrow and expand the meridians of Xuan Yan every day. Under the constant nourishment of the Chaos Power, Zhang Xingfeng managed to raise Xuan Yan to the Golden Core Stage over the past three years.

***Yan, holding Zhang Xingfeng's right hand, said, "Can we go out to sea? We can fly slowly in the sky. Wouldn't that be romantic?"

Zhang Xingfeng sighed inwardly, "Heavens, the sea, the ocean! It's so much bigger than the mainland! How long will it take to explore this place? But can I refuse? How can I possibly refuse?" Zhang Xingfeng looked at the sunlight that Yu Yan was longing for, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Alright, let's go out to sea!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly smiled, a very bright smile.

"The sea, why didn't I think of the sea? There are so many islands in the sea. If I just find a beautiful island, wouldn't I be able to establish my own sect? How idiotic! I wasted so much time searching on the mainland. Of course, all the land on the mainland has been occupied by others. As for islands, how many islands are there in this sea? How many should I choose? One is enough, actually two wouldn't be bad either!" Zhang Xingfeng's smile left the woman beside him somewhat bewildered.

"Alright, Yu Yan, shall we set off?" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile. He couldn't wait.

***Yan immediately burst into laughter, her eyes narrowing. "Okay, hee hee, husband~~~~~~~~~"

Zhang Xingfeng felt a tremor in his heart. Whenever this woman called out "husband" in that long, strange voice, Zhang Xingfeng knew he was in for trouble again. Last time, it was this very sound that sent Zhang Xingfeng to the snowy mountains to buy lotus root powder in Anyi, because he remembered that lotus root powder was good for beauty. What could happen this time?

Zhang Xingfeng immediately adopted a calm and composed demeanor, as if he could handle any situation.

"It's nothing much, just asking my husband to bring me a big cloud. I don't have the ability to control clouds yet, so could you let me watch the sea from the cloud?" ***Yan kept calling him "husband," which made Zhang Xingfeng very enthusiastic!

"Yu Yan, isn't this a very simple matter?" Zhang Xingfeng smiled. This matter really wasn't difficult. It turned out that Zhang Xingfeng also knew the method. In fact, Zhang Xingfeng had the method of refining "Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion" recorded in "The Immortal Forging Art".

"Yu Yan, watch, watch how your husband does it!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a hint of pride. Yu Yan, standing to the side, immediately watched with a smile.

Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Zhang Xingfeng suddenly lost his smile, and bursts of Chaos Power emanated from his body. Zhang Xingfeng slowly rose from the ground. He clasped his hands together slightly, then opened them slightly, and a powerful suction force was suddenly generated.

The suction force was directed towards the boundless sky above, where Zhang Xingfeng began to gather white clouds together, and streams of Chaos Power were continuously merging into them. White clouds themselves cannot be refined; they can only be refined after being merged with Chaos Power.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly, and a golden block of material suddenly appeared in his hand. Zhang Xingfeng said, "If we're going to do it, we should do it the best!" The golden block of material immediately flew into the Qi Cauldron.

The Qi Cauldron flew out, followed by fifteen dazzling hand seals that left *** Yan mesmerized. The Qi Cauldron opened, instantly absorbing all the white clouds on the ground. Three more hand seals were swiftly executed, and the Qi Cauldron closed!

The Six-Flavor True Fire began to rise from Zhang Xingfeng's Zhang Xingfeng. A smile appeared on his face, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes. A relatively large Six-Flavor True Fire flew to the bottom of the Qi Cauldron.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xingfeng looked at the golden clouds inside the Qi Cauldron and smiled. He had succeeded. Zhang Xingfeng immediately formed the final eighteen hand seals and sealed the cauldron!

Zhang Xingfeng opened the Qi Cauldron. A beautiful, dazzling golden cloud, emitting a faint golden light, appeared.

With a thought, Zhang Xingfeng caused the golden cloud to grow larger, then split in two. The upper part transformed into a beautiful building, while the lower part supported it from below.

Zhang Xingfeng looked at it, smiled slightly, and seemed very satisfied. It was that simple; the "Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion" was completed just like that.

"Brother Feng, you are so great, so great!" *** Yan screamed as she looked at the beautiful "Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion" that was emitting a faint golden light. She immediately summoned her Green Cloud Immortal Sword, which had taken Zhang Xingfeng a month to forge, and rode the sword onto the "Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion".

"Ah, Brother Feng, this golden cloud is solid! It's real! Wow, this house is also earth, even harder than jade!" ***Yan kept shouting from the golden floating cloud.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly, then flew up and arrived at the "Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion".

As soon as Yan saw Zhang Xingfeng, she ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and pouted, saying, "Brother Feng Zhang Xingfeng, what's going on? Why are they all solid? Aren't they just fleeting clouds?"

Zhang Xingfeng explained, "The reason why ordinary people can't ride on these floating clouds is because they're too thin. Even when compressed together, they still disperse. I actually used the Chaos Power to gather them together, making these floating clouds thicker, so that you, with your Golden Core Stage strength, could easily ride them. But to allow you, my wife, to enjoy your trip more comfortably, I, your husband, spared no expense, using a precious Golden Illusion Stone to refine this 'Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion.' This 'Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion' can definitely be considered a top-tier Law Artifact. Hehe!"

For some reason, during his time with ***Yan, Zhang Xingfeng laughed more than he had in the previous twenty-odd years. For the past three years, he has been almost always smiling. Perhaps it was because ***Yan was happy that he was happy, or perhaps it was because he was happy to be with ***Yan. But in any case, his previously sullen personality has changed a lot, and Zhang Xingfeng even often makes jokes.

Upon hearing Zhang Xingfeng's suggestion, Yan immediately said sweetly, "Thank you, my husband!"

Zhang Xingfeng, holding *** Yan's hand, walked into the golden building. As Zhang Xingfeng arrived, golden clouds immediately transformed into chairs, tables, and a golden bed; all the buildings quickly took shape.

***Yan covered her mouth in disbelief as she watched a piece of furniture being created. Furniture could actually be made like this! This was the first time Zhang and ***Yan had ever seen anything like it.

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, Brother Feng!" ***Yan was already a bit incoherent. A house can be like this! "What's going on here? This chair, the table, and that bed."

Zhang Xingfeng chuckled and said, "Yu Yan, didn't I already tell you? This is a Law Artifact. Law Artifact obey the will of the mind; it's not something that can be controlled by a mere hand."

However, this is quite normal in the Immortal Realm. Many immortals without status there don't have their own territory and can only rely on the "Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion." Moreover, these poor immortals probably can't even find Golden Illusion Stone, and can only refine immortal abodes even inferior to Zhang Xingfeng's "Floating Cloud Immortal Abode." Golden Illusion Stone are a rare type of stone collected by Pangu. Their function is limited, mainly for building immortal abodes, but they are extremely practical and extremely rare.

"Yu Yan, shouldn't we buy some things to decorate? We'll be living here from now on," Zhang Xingfeng suggested.

"Okay, let's go, let's go now!" Upon hearing this, Yan immediately decided to buy some things and pulled Zhang Xingfeng to fly away. Zhang Xingfeng waved his hand, and the "Floating Cloud Immortal Mansion" was taken into the sky.

Six months later!

On the boundless sea, human presence is rare. But above the sea, there is a golden cloud, and one of the golden clouds is a magnificent fairy palace. At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng is sitting at a table in the palace, reading a book and sipping tea.

***Yan placed more than a dozen potted plants on the golden cloud outside the building to let them bask in the sun. Perhaps worried that the plants would be blown away by the wind, Zhang Xingfeng also built a long jade railing around the edge of the golden cloud at ***Yan's request, completely surrounding it.

Outside the building, on the golden clouds, stood two golden benches arranged by Zhang Xingfeng. ***Yan walked to the benches, sat down comfortably, and looked over the jade railing to gaze down at the boundless sea below.

The sea is indeed full of beautiful scenery. In just half a day, Zhang Xingfeng and *** Yan discovered dozens of islands that had never been visited before. One of the islands even had precious Rain Dew tea leaves, which made Zhang Xingfeng very happy. Other islands also had some rare and precious items, but they were nothing special in Zhang Xingfeng's eyes.

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, come quick, come quick! What a beautiful island! Brother Feng, come quick!" *** Yan's shouts suddenly rang out. Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng quickly came out. The only worthwhile thing to see at sea was visiting some islands to see some beautiful animals.

As soon as Zhang Xingfeng stepped out of the building, he was pulled to the edge of the jade railing by *** Yan.

Standing by the jade railing, Zhang Xingfeng saw the island that shocked him.

This is a three-person island, one small and two large, forming a natural Three Talents Formation. In addition, the shape of the three islands creates a huge spiritual energy gathering formation. The concentration of Spiritual Qi is more than ten times that of the Ming Dynasty. Spiritual herbs and immortal plants nurtured by Spiritual Qi can be seen everywhere on the island.

"That's it! That's the sect of the Tianxin Sect!" Zhang Xingfeng was overjoyed and immediately slammed his hand on the table in approval!
