Since they were all so focused on their practice and peaceful lives, they didn’t realize that the days passed so quickly, and another three days had already passed. (A/N: outside world time)
Over the past three days, Chen Li was not only busy with his physical training and swordsmanship, but he was also busy dual soul cultivating with Feng Xian’er. Her stomach started to look big because she had never left Tianyi Realm, but it did not prevent her from dual-cultivating with him.
Chen Li also helped his other wives and fiancées to improve their cultivation, mainly because he wanted them to break through to the soul realm soon, so they could start cultivating their souls to increase their strength, which also helped his cultivation break through to the 6th Stage Soul Realm.
Even though they couldn’t wait to become Chen Li’s wives, Liu Ying, Luo Yi, and Chen Zhiyi did not urge him to take them. They chose to wait for their cultivation to improve further, so their yin qi would be more useful to him, and they had started to swallow his yang qi, especially after Feng Xian’er imparted the celestial yin technique to them.
Chen Li supplied Lin Qingzhu, Dongfang Wenxin, and Cai Yue with his yang qi, which boosted their cultivation. He also actively approaches women who have not yet fallen for him, such as Song Susu, Victoria, and Ximen Yuqing.
Among the three women, only Ximen Yuqing has started to fall for Chen Li, and they have started to have a light relationship. However, they have not dual-cultivated yet, and she also refuses to swallow his yang qi, especially since she still feels confused about her triangular relationship with him and her daughter. Meanwhile, Victoria still has no interest in having a relationship with him, and Song Susu also mostly shuts herself in the cultivation cave.
Chen Li’s relationship with the Di Sisters had also improved quite a lot, but they still didn’t show any special feelings towards her, especially Di Jing.
Although Yan Qiu and Zhao Ying had fallen for him a long time ago, Chen Li still had no plans to take them as his wives. Even Feng Xian’er had repeatedly persuaded him, but he didn’t budge on his decision.

“Do you think they will be able to break through to the soul realm before we return to the Seven Moon Realm?”
Xiao Hei was the first to answer Chen Li. “They do have to divide their time between training and dual cultivating with you, but we still have 38 days before returning to that realm, so I think their cultivation will reach the soul realm before we return there.”
“I hope so.”
Suddenly, Xiao Huoli grumbled to Chen Li with narrowed eyes. “You’ve been too busy improving your physical strength and swordsmanship, and you’ve neglected your alchemy, so you must allocate your time to practicing alchemy again.”
“Haha.” Chen Li laughed wryly as he rubbed the back of his head, as he himself realized that he had neglected several other things. “Sigh, you’re right, Sister Huoli. However, I want to quickly fully adapt to the maximum weight of the herculean equipment set, so I will start learning alchemy and others again after I succeed in doing that.”
“I think it’s not a problem.” Xiao Diqiu joined in the conversation. “The total weight of the Herculean set is 3000 pounds, right? Our master can lift more than half now, and I think it won’t take long for him to adapt to the total weight, so it would be better if we let him focus on that first. After that, he can focus on learning alchemy, healing, formation arrays, and blacksmithing again.”
“Hey, Big Sis Diqiu! You support him because you want Chen Li to be able to practice blacksmithing as soon as possible, right?” Xiao Huoli asked with an annoyed look.
“Haha, you understand me!” Xiao Diqiu laughed as he hugged her, and he kissed Xiao Huoli’s cheeks repeatedly. “Actually, our master can practice blacksmithing now, but he can only forge low-grade equipment with his current physical strength. Moreover, you can help him concoct pills, so I want him to focus on that first.”
“Tch! Let go of me, Big Sis!” Xiao Huoli shouted as she tried to push Xiao Diqiu back, but she hugged her tighter instead. “You’re a muscular woman, and I’m a delicate woman, so your hugs hurt me!”
“Pft! Hahaha!” Xiao Hei and the others burst out laughing after hearing that.
Xiao Kong’er then teased him. “Hey, Huoli! You are being delicate when you are with our little master, but you are so fierce and cruel when fighting with our enemies.”
“That’s true.” Xiao Jianyi nodded in agreement with her. “When I think about it, I was horrified when Big Sis Huoli went on a rampage, and I still remember the look in her eyes at that time.”
“You’re right.” Xiao Hei also commented. “Back then, one of them delivered a surprise attack from behind, and his attack managed to injure his back, which aroused her hidden anger.” 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝘰𝑚
“What did Sister Huoli do at that time?” Chen Li, with a curious look, asked.
“Stop! Don’t tell him about that!” Xiao Huoli shouted at them.
However, they didn’t listen to him, and Xiao Kong’er directly told Chen Li. “Little master, Huoli exerted almost all her strength at that moment; even his eyes burned brightly because her anger was peaked, and she summoned her heavenly flame to burn alive all the enemies around her.”
Chen Li was shocked to hear that, especially since Xiao Huoli was always gentle whenever they were together, so he really didn’t think that she could do such a thing.
“Big Sis Kong’er-Mhn!”
Xiao Diqiu immediately covered Xiao Huoli’s mouth, and Xiao Kong’er continued the story. “After all, she was the spirit of fire, and her heavenly flame reduced them to ashes; even the battle area around her disappeared without a trace.”
‘Ugh! Don’t look at me like that!’ Xiao Huoli could only mutter in her heart as Chen Li gave her a strange look.
Chen Li exhaled softly and pulled Xiao Huoli from her sisters, and he hugged her while rubbing her head. “I don’t care what you did in the past, but you are still my sister Huoli, and it will never change. Moreover, those people are your enemies, so it’s only natural that you kill them, and I would do the same as you if I were in your shoes.”
“En.” Xiao Huoli nodded with a sweet smile after hearing that.
Chen Li then asked Xiao Huoli. “Anyway, what does Sister Kong’er mean by your heavenly flame? Is it any different from my golden flame and Xian’er’s crimson flame?”
“Heavenly flame is the fire that fell from the sky along with my birth.” Xiao Huoli then stretched out her hand, and a small but bright red flame appeared on her palm, surprising Chen Li, as it was completely different from the flame she usually used during alchemy. “I’m the only one who has this flame in this universe, but I can’t use it for alchemy, or else all the herbs will be destroyed, so I usually use an ordinary flame for that.”
“Hmm?” Chen Li watched Xiao Huoli’s heavenly flame seriously. “Does that mean you were born from this flame?”
“Yes, I am the spirit of fire born from this flame, so it is part of me.” Xiao Huoli explained it to him as he nodded. “Actually, I don’t know the name of this flame myself, so I call it a heavenly flame.”
“Does that mean the other spirits of fire were also born from other flames?” Chen Li asked her again. “After all, you are not the only spirit of fire in this universe, right?”
“You’re right, Little Master.” Xiao Kong’er answered his question. “In this universe, there are only three spirits who don’t have siblings, and one of them is me.”
“Hmm?” Chen Li turned to her in surprise. “Is it because you are the spirit of void?”
“Yes.” Xiao Kong’er nodded to him. “The others are Big Sis Shijian, Xiao Guang, and Xiao Hei.”
“I see.” Chen Li nodded in understanding. “Then how many spirits of fire are there in this universe?”
“Twelve.” Xiao Huoli then explained their identities to him. “Among them, I am the youngest, and the oldest is a male spirit of fire, but he never left Spirit Realm. As for the other ten, they spread throughout the universe, and our strength is measured by the power of our flame.”
Chen Li turned to the other spirit woman, and Xiao Hei told him first. “Diqiu has several siblings, especially since the earth element has several types, but she is the toughest among them. Jianyi doesn’t have siblings because she is a sword spirit born from Master Song’s sword dao, but there are many other sword cultivators who also succeeded in giving birth to their respective sword spirits.”
Chen Li nodded repeatedly after hearing that. “Honestly, I’m really curious about the Spirit Realm, and I want to go there someday.”
“Hahaha.” The spirit women laughed when they heard that, and Xiao Kong’er said to him. “Little master, our realm is one of the most beautiful in this universe, but you have to reach God Realm first to be able to go to our realm.”
“Oh?” Chen Li became even more curious after hearing that. “Then which realm is the most beautiful in this universe?”
“The realm of the elves is the most beautiful in this universe.”
