Chapter 1238: Ice Phoenix Domain
Zhang Fei decided to bring Tianshi Shengjie, the princess of the Celestial Dragon Race, with them because she was a native of the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain in the Divine Origin Main Domain.
They stood before the gate connecting them to the Divine Origin Main Domain, but Tianshi Shengjie warned Zhang Fei first. "Once we pass through this gate, there is a possibility that Jia Zizhen will notice your presence. I can't predict his next move, but I believe you won't be able to escape his surveillance. Therefore, you must prepare for the worst, and your life in this realm may never be peaceful."
"I know." Zhang Fei nodded slightly. "I'm aware of the risks, but I can't hide from Jia Zizhen forever. Eventually, we will meet, and a clash between us will be inevitable. He is powerful, but he won't be able to kill me that easily, especially with Serpentera and the others by my side."
Tianshi Shengjie nodded in agreement. "Sepentera and Tian Kui are ancient beasts, and they are powerful enough to help you deal with Jia Zizhen. Furthermore, you still have Xie Heilong and eight other evil mythical beasts by your side, so you should be able to deal with him with their help. Additionally, you suspect that he is collaborating with the Nine Nether Demon God; however, it is unclear whether he is also allied with the other demon races, so you must remain cautious."
"Yeah." Zhang Fei then asked her. "Do you think I can sneak into the Floral Mirage Domain using my invisibility?"
Tianshi Shengjie shook her head. "Your invisibility is indeed useful against many people from various races, but you won't be able to use it in my Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain or the Floral Mirage Domain. Therefore, you should forget about your intention to infiltrate there, and Jia Zizhen will find you as soon as you set foot there."
"Alright."
.

As soon as they arrived at the Divine Origin Main Domain, Zhang Fei used the nine cloud steps and led them to the northernmost part of the domain, where a portal was located.
Zhang Fei didn't stop and led them into the portal, where they were greeted by a vast expansion of ice and a bone-chilling cold. Tianshi Shengjie trembled with the bone-chilling cold, but he immediately hugged her and channeled his fire element into her body, warming her.
On the contrary, Feng Xueying, Feng Jinqiu, and Zhang Yue thoroughly enjoyed the cold because they were ice phoenixes.
Zhang Fei wanted to take them away, but two ice phoenixes quickly flew towards them. They turned into young women and asked Tianshi Shengjie. "What brought you here, Celestial Dragon Princess?"
"This man is Zhang Fei, and he is the successor of the ten-tailed fox." Both young women were shocked to hear that, but he immediately transformed into his half-fox form with nine fox tails behind him. "These three women are his wives: Feng Jinqiu, Feng Xueying, and Zhang Yue."
Feng Jinqiu and Feng Xueying felt awkward because they were not Zhang Fei's wives, but Tianshi Shengjie introduced them as such. The two young women believed her because they could sense his Yang Qi in their bodies.
However, the two young women's attention immediately shifted to Zhang Yue, as their ancestor and matriarch had already told them about her.
Zhang Fei immediately spoke to them. "A few years ago, Feng Bingying and Feng Shizhu invited us to come to this domain, but we were still busy with our seclusion, so I brought them here today."
"We know." The two young women once again turned into ice phoenixes. "Please follow us; we will take you to our ice town."
"Let's go."
.
.
.
A while later, the two phoenixes returned to their human forms and landed in front of a village where all the buildings were made of cold ice.
Zhang Fei immediately led the three women to follow the two ice phoenixes, but they saw no one there, as the other ice phoenixes were more focused on cultivating in their respective residences.
The two young women led Zhang Fei and the others to the largest house in the center of the village, which was the residence of Feng Bingying and Feng Shizhu.
"Matriarch."
"Let them in, Ruochen and Muling."
"Yes, Matriarch." Feng Ruochen turned to them. "You guys can come in now, and we will return to our place."
After the two phoenixes left, Zhang Fei immediately led the others inside. They were a little surprised by the interior, as there was almost nothing there except tables and chairs made of ice, with Feng Bingying sitting on an ice throne at the end of the room.
Feng Bingying hurriedly descended from her ice throne and walked before them. She seriously observed Zhang Yue. "She's finally reached the Five Celestial Realms."
"She broke through a few days ago, so I brought them here today." Feng Bingying nodded in understanding at Zhang Fei, who then asked her, "Do you have a special place for us to cultivate?"
Feng Bingying nodded at him. "Naturally, we have that kind of place, but you should know that only female ice phoenixes live here, and most of them, including Ancestor Shizhu, engage in cultivation there. Thus, you—"
"If Fei'er can't cultivate here, I won't cultivate here either, and we will return to our domain now." Feng Bingying turned to Zhang Yue directly. "I understand your thoughts, but I won't change mine. Moreover, his Yang Qi is much more beneficial to me, and I can cultivate faster by dual cultivating with him."
Feng Xueying and Feng Jinqiu naturally wanted to cultivate in that domain, but they chose to support Zhang Yue. Although they weren't yet Zhang Fei's wives, they had lived with him and the others for over two decades, and they had always cultivated using his Yang Qi.
Tianshi Shengjie shrugged when Feng Bingying looked at her, signaling to her that she didn't want to interfere in their affairs. Furthermore, the female ice phoenix should already know about the closeness between Zhang Fei and all his wives, so she should be aware that she wouldn't be able to attract his wives into her race without him.
Feng Bingying inwardly sighed and contacted her ancestor first. To her surprise, her ancestor asked her to bring Zhang Fei and the others to their cultivation place, as Feng Shizhu understood them better than her. "Alright, I will take you there, but you cannot join us, Celestial Dragon Princess. The cold there is far more extreme than any other area in this domain, and your cultivation will not be able to help you survive there, so you must return to the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain."
"I know." Tianshi Shengjie nodded to her.
Zhang Fei immediately opened a portal to the training space. "Go in, Shengjie. I won't be cultivating for too long in this domain because I have business in another domain. I'll take you there after I master the initial stage of my ice body cultivation technique."
"Okay." Tianshi Shengjie immediately entered the training space.
After that, Feng Bingying led Zhang Fei and the three women to the ice phoenix's cultivation place. "What kind of ice body cultivation technique do you want to learn?"
"The Frozen Heaven Body Technique." Feng Bingying looked at Zhang Fei curiously. "I just got that technique, but it requires extreme cold to practice, so I brought them here directly."
"Can you tell me the effects of that body technique?" Zhang Fei directly told Feng Bingying about the technique. "I don't know where you got that technique, but I think the effects of that technique are almost similar to my Winter Celestial Sutra."
Zhang Fei was curious about her technique. "Can you share that technique with me?"
"Sure."
[You obtained the Winter Celestial Sutra. Grade: Celestial.]
[Winter Celestial Sutra: A rare and profound body cultivation scripture that harnesses the essence of winter and extreme cold to temper the mortal body into a near-immortal vessel.]
> Heart Tempering: Strengthens the heart and circulatory system, allowing the cultivator to endure extreme cold and suppress internal injuries.
> Vein Expansion: Widens and strengthens the meridians to store and circulate vast amounts of ice qi, boosting ice elemental attacks.
> Frostbone Flexing: Increases skeletal flexibility without weakening strength, allowing the body to move like flowing ice while maintaining durability.
> Chilling Essence Absorption: Trains the body to absorb ambient cold energy from the environment, converting it into internal vitality and cultivation power.
> Winter Soul Physique: Perfects the body's overall alignment with extreme cold qi, enhancing resilience and the body's natural frost aura.
"Hmm?" Zhang Fei read the effects of the technique seriously. "The effects of your technique are almost similar to mine, but they are also different, and I think we can combine the effects of both techniques."
Feng Bingying nodded at him. "Please share your technique with me, and I'll try to learn it before trying to combine it with mine."
"Yeah." Zhang Fei imparted the Frozen Heaven Body Technique to Feng Bingying. "Are all your clan members cultivating there right now?"
"No." Feng Bingying shook her head in response. "Most of them are at their residence, and a small number are cultivating there. Why don't you bring one of your clones here?"
Zhang Fei released a soft sigh. "One of them must oversee my sect, and the other four are still assisting their respective wives, as they haven't yet reached the Five Celestial Realms. Once they reach that stage, I will send one of them here to deepen my cultivation of the two ice body techniques."
