Daughter and Son-in-Law

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since Zhang Xingfeng returned to the Tianxin Sect.

During these ten years, Zhang Xingfeng himself did not cultivate much, and most of his skills were used for the sect.

Having left in a hurry last time, Zhang Xingfeng has now added the Blazing Heavenly Fire Array, based on two enormous Extreme Fire Crystal, to the existing protective array of the Tianxin Sect! He believes that the Blazing Heavenly Fire Array and the protective array of the Tianxin Sect will complement each other, and the power of the array will reach a new level.

After a series of methods and six years of effort, the Tianxin Sect completely controlled the Northern Region of the Cultivation World. Under the Tianxin Sect's powerful influence, and with the strong support of the Tianlong Sect and the Fengyuan Gate, the original sects in Cultivation World Northern Region obediently relocated their sects. After all, compared to the inheritance of their sects, relocating their sects was nothing.

The Tianxin Sect has thirty-six major outposts throughout the Northern Region. Each outpost is overseen by a Heavenly Immortal -level expert. The Tianxin Sect currently boasts an abundance of Celestial Immortals; in the Mortal World alone, it has nearly twenty from the last time, plus those from the last ten years, bringing the total to twenty-eight. In the Cultivation World, the Tianxin Sect has over thirty disciples who have successfully Tribulation Transcendence. With so many disciples, plus the twenty seniors from the Tianxin Sect that Zhang Xingfeng brought back from the Immortal Realm, its power has greatly increased.

The Tianxin Sect originally had two main halls: the Main Hall and the Illusionary Heart Hall. The Main Hall was where elders and the sect leader usually gathered, or where distinguished guests were entertained. The Illusionary Heart Hall, on the other hand, was a hall that only the core disciples of the Tianxin Sect could enter and exit.

Now, the Tianxin Sect has built its third main hall – the "Fire Element Hall". The main hall of the Tianxin Sect is usually not presided over by anyone, while the Illusion Heart Hall is presided over by the sect leader Bi Yan. As for the "Fire Element Hall", it is presided over by Zhang Xingfeng himself.

Only immortals can enter the "Fire Element Hall," which is the core of the highest power of the Tianxin Sect!

The Tianxin Sect, inside the "Fire Element Hall".

"Master, now that our Tianxin Sect has established thirty-six major bases, we have complete control over thousands of mortal planets. Excellent disciples are constantly emerging, and the Immortal Pavilion is home to many senior experts from our Tianxin Sect. I wonder what your next step should be!" Bi Yan asked Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng casually sat down in a chair and smiled at Bi Yan, saying, "My Tianxin Sect has a solid foundation. From now on, we'll gradually increase the number of core disciples and immortals. By the way, Bi Yan, have the Bright Sun Sect and Lingyu Sect, which originally controlled the Northern Region, made any unusual moves?"

Originally, there were five holy lands in the Cultivation World. Apart from the Purple Cloud Realm, the other four holy lands were in charge of four regions of the Cultivation World. The Northern Region was jointly managed by the Bright Sun Sect and Lingyu Sect.

Bi Yan respectfully replied, "Reporting to Master, the Bright Sun Sect and Lingyu Sect have not made any unusual moves during this period. I believe Master is also aware that although the other four holy lands Purple Cloud Realm are in charge of the four regions of the Cultivation World, they are merely the ones who are respected. The other sects are all independent!"

Zhang Xingfeng nodded and smiled, "Yes, I was overthinking it. Normally, the Northern Region of the Cultivation World is only led by the Bright Sun Sect and the Lingyu Sect. The real management is still done by the various sects themselves. Now that my Tianxin Sect is powerful and has not made any moves against the foundation of the Bright Sun Sect and the Lingyu Sect, they should not have any other ideas."

Bi Yan smiled and said with a hint of flattery, "Master, you have made great strides this time, conquering such a large territory for our Tianxin Sect. We also have the firm support of the Tianlong Sect and Fengyuan Gate, while the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm remain neutral and do nothing! Hehe... the situation is excellent, excellent..." Bi Yan became excited as she spoke.

Bi Yan had been the Tianxin Sect for a long time, but he had never felt so proud and dignified. Now, the sect leaders of those major sects all paid their respects to Bi Yan.

Zhang Xingfeng nodded, but inwardly he sneered, "In the Immortal Realm, they have great power, but in the Cultivation World, they don't have the strength to fight against my Tianxin Sect at all! In the Cultivation World, my Tianxin Sect reigns supreme!"

Zhang Xingfeng then said to Bi Yan, "Bi Yan, you go back and rest first. I need to prepare a bit more before I go to welcome my dear daughter!"

Bi Yan immediately bowed and left.

Lingling, Zhang Xingfeng's daughter, was originally supposed to Tribulation Transcendence with Zhang Yu and the others, but she fell in love with an ordinary person and didn't come.

However, Zhang Xingfeng never expected that his son-in-law would be a genius who was rare in a thousand years. In less than a hundred years, his power level soared and he successfully Tribulation Transcendence.

Zhang Xingfeng still couldn't believe that his son-in-law had reached such a level in just a hundred years. It was truly unbelievable. Although the Spiritual Qi in the Mortal World was abundant, and the Spiritual Qi of the Three Tian Xin Islands was nearly ten times more abundant, it should normally take more than two hundred years to successfully Tribulation Transcendence!

This son-in-law, whom Zhang Xingfeng had never met before, piqued his curiosity.

"Nephew, are you thinking about that child Lingling?" Uncle Zhang walked into the Fire Element Hall from outside and said to Zhang Xingfeng with a smile.

Zhang Xingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, but Lingling is really something... Back when I was in the Mortal World, she never fell in love with any man. With the Star Peak Family's status, even royal princes and nobles would be at her disposal. I never expected that as soon as I left the Mortal World, she would find someone she likes. Hehe!"

Zhang Kuang nodded and said, "Nephew, when I left the Mortal World, your son-in-law was only at the early Nascent Soul stage. Reaching the Nascent Soul Realm stage in eighty or ninety years is rare, but it's normal on the Three Islands of Tian Xin. Logically, he should have been able to Tribulation Transcendence in about a hundred years. But why has he Tribulation Transcendence in just over ten years?" Zhang Xingfeng was clearly puzzled as well.

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly laughed.

"Haha, we don't need to say anything more. We'll go pick up my daughter right away and see what kind of person my son-in-law is."

Zhang Kuang nodded, then prepared to greet them together with Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across the hall. Zhang Xingfeng's powerful Divine Sense quickly covered hundreds of star fields and directly found his daughter.

Although Zhang Xingfeng's power was limited, his mental cultivation was so high that his Divine Sense range was now comparable to that of an Immortal Emperor- level expert. In the blink of an eye, he could almost cover the entire Cultivation World.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly and said to Zhang Kuang, "Uncle Zhang, Lingling and the others are almost at Mingling Star. They'll be able to reach Tianyan Star in just a few teleports. We'll wait for them here on Tianyan Star!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kuang immediately burst into laughter. "Haha, I really miss Lingling, that girl, after more than ten years!"

"Brother Feng, has Ling Ling arrived?" Yu Yan also entered the main hall.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately told her Lingling's whereabouts, and Yu Yan waited with Zhang Xingfeng for Lingling's arrival.

Lingling was once a spirited and dashing young woman, but now Lingling seems to have grown up and become gentle and lovable.

"Senior brother, how is my father now?" Lingling asked Zhang Yu, who had come to pick her up.

Zhang Yu said with a smile, "My master is quite extraordinary now. Who in the entire Cultivation World doesn't know the reputation of the Supreme Elder the Tianxin Sect? Even the three emperors of the Immortal Realm treat my master with great respect. Last time, the three Immortal Emperor even sent three Immortal Monarch at the same time to invite my master to the Immortal Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Lingling's eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed with delight, "Really? The Three Emperors of the Immortal Realm? Are they the most powerful people in the Immortal Realm, like the emperors of the Mortal World?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, those three emperors of the Immortal Realm are all great figures who have cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, and their power is unfathomable! But Master is also invincible. According to my two uncles (Zhao Jia and Li Yu) who returned from the Immortal Realm, Master calls himself the Carefree Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm, and the sects of those Immortal Emperors are extremely respectful to him. Even the strongest of the three emperors, the Great Emperor Ziwei, and his senior brother fought against Master together, but they couldn't defeat him!"

Back when Zhao Jia and Li Yu were in the Dragon Spirit Space, although they couldn't observe the battle, they could still inquire with the Dragon Spirit. After Zhao Jia and Li Yu returned, before Zhao Jia could say anything, Li Yu, that big mouth, started spreading the word.

Especially the immortals in the Immortal Pavilion, almost every one of them knew this. Even the Great Emperor Ziwei and his senior brother, fighting against Zhang Xingfeng, couldn't defeat him!

Upon hearing this, Lingling excitedly said to her husband beside her, "Junlin, isn't my father amazing? Wow... he calls himself the Carefree Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm! How glorious that is! That so-called Great Emperor Ziwei has cultivated for over a hundred million years, and even when he and his senior brother joined forces, they couldn't defeat my father. My father is truly amazing! Junlin, you must learn from my father more often in the future!"

Jiang Junlin looked at his wife and smiled slightly. He was an extremely proud man, but he deeply admired his wife's father!

Zhang Xingfeng is an immortal legend in the Mortal World.

He left home at the age of six and established the Star Peak Family by the time he was only around twenty. His martial arts were unparalleled. When several countries joined forces against the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xingfeng almost single-handedly turned the tide, annihilating over a million enemies while suffering only a few thousand casualties himself. That was already an unsurpassable legend in the military.

Afterwards, they even destroyed the Li Family, which had a history of over a thousand years, and the Star Peak Family became the number one Aristocratic Clan in the world.

Later, Zhang Xingfeng established the Tianxin Sect, an extremely powerful sect. Jiang Junlin was stunned when he first went to the Tian Xin Three Islands.

What outsiders considered divine weapons were like tofu before the immortal artifacts of the Tianxin Sect disciples, easily cut through. His own pitiful Fifth Rank internal energy cultivation was so weak that even a child on the Tian Xin Three Islands could be stronger than him. Any disciple within the Tianxin Sect was a thousand times stronger than him!

Externally, they possess a powerful aristocratic family that surpasses even the royal Aristocratic Clan; internally, they have countless invincible experts from the Tianxin Sect! Jiang Junlin believes that in the Mortal World, the brilliance of the Star Peak Family will illuminate the entire world, and it will shine for a very, very long time!

How could he not admire such a legendary figure?

Now that he has become a cultivator, he is very proud because he cultivates quickly. Most importantly, he only spent a little over ten years going from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. During this time, he did not take many elixirs. The reason he cultivates so quickly is entirely due to his good talent.

He had cultivated immortality and understood the different levels of immortals. Immortals were divided into six levels, with the Immortal Emperor being the highest! He knew all this, but now Zhang Xingfeng, whom he admired, had become the Carefree Immortal Emperor in just over a hundred years! This couldn't help but shock him!

Compared to Zhang Xingfeng's cultivation speed, his is nothing at all!

"Lingling, what's your father-in-law's temper like?" Jiang Junlin felt a surge of excitement. Facing his idol, that legendary figure, the thought of meeting him soon brought a touch of trepidation. He worried that Zhang Xingfeng had a bad temper, that he was eccentric.

After all, truly exceptional people usually possess unique qualities.

Upon hearing this, Lingling immediately said, "Junlin, my father is a very good person. Back then, he gave me almost anything I wanted. He was just a bit strict with me when it came to cultivation! Hehe, but you're my husband, so I don't believe my father would dare to treat you badly. Humph, if my father bullies you, I'll tell my mother!"

Lingling suddenly said in a very low voice, "Junlin, let me tell you, my father listens to my mother a lot. Just like you listen to me!"

Jiang Junlin affectionately stroked his wife's hair, thinking to himself, "It seems my father-in-law loves my mother-in-law just as much as I love Lingling!"

Zhang Yu suddenly said, "Junior sister, through this Teleportation Array, we can reach Tianyan Star, which is where the Tianxin Sect's mountain gate is located!"

Lingling was immediately overjoyed and pulled Jiang Junlin and Zhang Yu together to activate the Teleportation Array, their destination— Tianyan Star.

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly smiled and said to the crowd behind him, "They've arrived!" As he spoke, Zhang Xingfeng made a thought, and the sect-protecting formation and the Blazing Heavenly Fire formation immediately separated to create a passage.

A floating cloud was flying in from the depths of the white clouds, and on the floating cloud were Lingling and several others.

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly frowned. He had actually sensed a Buddhist Sect aura, or rather, the faint, peaceful aura of the Buddhist Sect. Most importantly, that aura was coming from above the floating clouds.

"Could it be that Buddhist Sect master has arrived? But why is he on the cloud above Lingling and the others?" Zhang Xingfeng immediately searched with his Divine Sense. On the cloud, apart from Zhang Yu, who was arranged by the Tianxin Sect to welcome them, and some disciples, there was only Lingling and a man. The Buddhist Sect aura was coming from that man.

Zhang Xingfeng clearly saw the intimate relationship between Lingling and the man with his divine Divine Sense, and he was certain that the man was his son-in-law.

"How can he emit a Buddhist Sect aura?" Zhang Xingfeng immediately probed the man's body with his Divine Sense. With Zhang Xingfeng's skill, this was of course an easy task.

"Huh? This is strange. The energy in his body is the True Primordial Energy cultivated by my Tianxin Sect Cultivation Method, and there is not a trace of Buddha Primordial Energy in his body. How can he emit the aura of the Buddhist Sect?" Zhang Xingfeng was puzzled.

"Father!" Lingling called out from afar. Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng immediately put aside his confusion and walked over with a smile.
