Chapter 988: Sha Mo Arrives
*Swoosh*
On a distant planet, a portal suddenly opened above the sky, and a male desert ape shot out of it. However, he immediately cursed when he found himself so high in the sky, and there was only a wide expanse of sand below him. "Fuck! That void-spirit woman is deliberately playing a prank on me!"
*Swoosh*
The male desert ape was none other than Shang Mo, who was sent by Ling Yun to meet Jiang Chen and the others, and his huge body quickly swooped down towards the ground, especially since the gravity in that realm was heavier compared to the Burial Realm. Just before he collided with the ground, he swiftly activated his cultivation in the veberate realm. He then stomped his foot in anger, inflicting a severe shock on the surrounding area and scattering sand into the air.
*Boom*
Sha Mo then looked at the surrounding area, but he found nothing there apart from a stretch of sand as far as the eye could see. "Is this realm really Tong Xuan Realm? How long did I float in the void before? I think it's been too long, and I can't remember anymore, especially since there was only darkness in there."
Sha Mo carefully spread his senses to search for their location, especially since he didn't have any information about that realm. However, he frowned as soon as he discovered a large battle in the east, slightly far from the desert, and the battle involved various races, including humans, demihumans, beasts, and even demons. "What the hell is going on in this realm? Why are they fighting each other? Why would those damn brats travel to such a chaotic realm? Fortunately, this realm is significantly smaller than the Burial Realm, but the heavier gravity here poses a significant challenge. Since those people are fighting in the east, I will go north first, and I hope to find them there."
After that, Sha Mo began to run while jumping towards the north, but the heavier gravity caused his speed to decrease compared to when he was in the Burial Realm. Even so, it wasn't too difficult for him, especially since his physique was already strong enough that he could even withstand Ling Yun's attacks.

In a remote location in the north, far from the battles, three men, accompanied by eight women, and one beast were resting under the dense foliage of tall trees. However, their condition appeared to be quite poor due to their previous experiences in various battles, but none of them suffered serious injuries.
They were none other than Zhang Bing, Yi Shi, and Jiang Chen, along with their wives and partners. As for the beast, she was none other than the Earth-Devouring Sable, Zi Diao.
"Phew! We've been in this realm for two weeks, but I'm still horrified by those people, especially since they're like maniacs." Zhang Bing spoke to the other two men while applying ointment to his body's several sharp weapon wounds. "Fortunately, we have Ruirui and Yanyao, and Aunt Diao's invisibility ability also helped us a lot, or else we would have been dead from day one."
"That's true." Yi Shi nodded in agreement with Zhang Bing. "When we first arrived in this realm, I thought I would die at the hands of that bull demon. Luckily, that demon was weaker than Ruirui, so I was able to survive thanks to her."
"Hahaha!" Unlike them, Jiang Chen looked excited even though his body was also covered in weapon wounds, but he was luckier than them, especially since his earth armor was quite strong. "Even though we initially experienced difficulties because of the heavy gravity in this realm and repeatedly faced threatening dangers, we have survived for two weeks here. That's why we can't give up and continue our training in this realm; we will become stronger when we return to the Sky Cloud Realm in the future."
The two men nodded in agreement with Jiang Chen, and they themselves had no desire to give up on their situation, especially when they remembered Ling Yun, who had gone through many hardships until he could bring them to the upper realms.
"Speaking of my cousin, do you two think he has arrived at that mysterious realm now?" Yi Shi asked them.
Zhang Bing answered his question first. "I heard that it took us three to four months to arrive in that realm from the Sky Cloud Realm, so Brother Yun and the others may not have arrived there yet."
"Hey! Have you forgotten where Big Sis Yu is next to Brother Yun?" Jiang Chen asked Zhang Bing while shaking his head. "He's the spirit of the void, remember? Furthermore, given the high speed of his Icarus, I'm confident that they won't need much time to reach that realm, where he has likely already begun his training. That's why we can't be lazy in this realm; we have to train more diligently, or we will fall even further behind him."
"You're too crazy in training, you know?" Jiang Chen immediately turned to Du Yanyao, who was walking towards them along with Tao Ruirui. "I know you want to become strong to help Ling Yun, but you can't just focus on training your physique through various battles. Your cultivation hasn't even reached the Emperor Realm yet, and his cultivation has already reached the Saint Realm before he went to that tower, so your current training methods won't allow you to catch up with him."
Tao Ruirui then added. "Unlike you guys, Ling Yun has numerous cheats and numerous partners who can assist him, allowing his physique and cultivation to grow in harmony. While the Tong Xuan realm serves as an excellent training ground for you, it falls short of the tower's standards. If the three of you wish to follow him into that tower, you must devise a strategy to enhance your cultivation as soon as possible. This is crucial because the minimum requirement to enter the tower is in the lower emperor realm, and the most effective way to achieve this is by seeking more women."
The three men were already aware of their brother's numerous advantages over them, but Tao Ruirui's final remark caused them to smile bitterly. After all, they were completely different from Ling Yun, and they did not have such high self-confidence like him. Furthermore, they are currently in a chaotic state, making it increasingly difficult to find new partners.
"Husband, what do you think if we go to one of the cities in this realm?" Tang Liqin suddenly asked Jiang Chen. "Even though this realm is completely chaotic, I'm sure there's a safe city here, and we haven't found one because we're too busy with our training."
"I agree with Sister Liqin, husband." Tang Yao, Yi Shi's wife, also nodded in agreement. "From the start, I never forbade you from looking for another partner, but you were too stubborn, and you insisted on not adding more partners. Moreover, I, Hong Fa, and Yue Ye were not as strong as Sister Rui and Sister Yanyao, so we won't be able to help you too much. That's why I agreed that if we look for a safe city for us to live in while we train in this realm, and you might be able to get some new partners there."
Unlike Tang Liqin and Tang Yao, Yuan Meng never wanted to share Zhang Bing with another woman, but she had to share him with Tao Ruirui now, so she felt reluctant if he looked for a new partner again.
Seeing his wife's expression, Zhang Bing let out a soft sigh in his heart, but he himself also did not want to look for new partners. However, he knew for sure that he would never be able to catch up to Ling Yun if he didn't look for new partners, and he would actually fall further behind him instead. 'Sigh, what can I do to catch up to Brother Yun?'
Zi Diao suddenly spoke to them. "Why don't you guys try to follow Ling Yun's way? If you guys don't want to look for new partners, then you can look for women who just want to have a mutually beneficial relationship, and I think you can find a lot of them in this realm. He has several partners in the Eternal Spring Palace, but he only regards them as dual-cultivation partners and nothing more, like Liu Chuqing."
"I think Aunt Diao's idea is not bad." Yuan Meng finally spoke to her husband. "Honestly, I don't want to share you with more women, husband. However, I don't mind if you want to dual-
cultivate with women like that, and you can leave them when it's time for us to return to our realm."
"Are you sure about that, wife?"
"Yes." Yuan Meng answered Zhang Bing with a nod. "As long as you don't take them as your official partners, then I won't mind that."
"What do you think, guys?" Zhang Bing questioned the other two men.
Before they could answer Zhang Bing, Tang Liqin spoke to them first. "All right, you guys don't need to hesitate anymore about making a decision, especially since the three of us are your official wives, and we have agreed if you guys added more partners to assist your cultivations. However, we're exhausted now, so we'd better rest first, and we'll look for it tomorrow morning."
