"You own a continent?" Hengshan asked incredulously.
For a second, he thought he had heard wrong. Owning a continent... he knew his son-in-law was from a well-established family due to his strength and clothes, but even he wasn't ready to hear that he owned a whole-ass continent.
"Two actually," Yun Che smugly smiled. "And now that I also own the ruler of this continent, I guess this continent also belongs to me now. Hmmm. That's right. I'll have my wife send her people here to establish our branch here. That will make it easy."
Hengshan was speechless.
Even the elders standing behind Hengshan were amazed.
"Where is Ling'er?" Hengshan decided not to think about it.
"Oh, she is in her room," Yun Che avoided Hengshan's inquisitive gaze and answered. "Don't disturb her. She just... ugh... practiced the art of Yin Yang with me."
"..."
"Ahem. Anyways, let's build up a teleportation array within the clan. We'll make this the main bridge between the other two continents."
A teleportation array already existed within the clan that Yun Che would use to come and meet Ling'er, but he decided not to use that.
It was better to have a private teleportation array and one public one; in case something happened, the escape route would remain open.
He ignored the dead glare of his father-in-law and made his way toward the arena within the Grandwake Clan.
It was quite a large area, expected from a cultivation clan. It could easily be considered a plaza.
Yun Che stood in the center of the arena and placed his hand on the ground; a formation array bloomed instantly.
Intricate runes appeared over the array, coming together and forming a working teleportation array.
'This should do. Hm. Now I just need to ask Yufeng to send some people here and open Sacred Ground branches on it.'
"This should be enough. Let's go, I'll take you to my clan."

After dropping Hengshan and Yun Gu at his clan, Yun Che appeared within the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.
Not wanting to disturb Jasmine and Ling'er, he did not wake them up. Anyways, he would be back before they woke up.
He decided to finish all the remaining tasks meanwhile.
"Husband!" The moment he appeared within the private ground of the sect, a joyful voice chipped its way to his ears. Followed by a hug from the woman, her purple hair filling his gaze.
A smile appeared on Yun Che's face as he hugged her back.
A pout instantly formed over Yufeng's face as she pinched Yun Che's waist in anger.
"Where have you been? Yufeng has been waiting for you for so long."
Yun Che wryly smiled.
He wanted to say that it's only been a week, but he decided to remain quiet.
"I'm sorry. I was busy with some stuff." Yun Che gently caressed her face and smiled. "And I happened to own another continent now."
"... as expected from Husband. Owning another continent so casually." Yufeng had already started to treat anything related to Yun Che as normal.
If Yun Che did it, it must be normal.
"... anyways, I want you to send our people there and create our branch there so we can take over that continent fully?"
"Um, I'll take care of it." Yufeng nodded.
A small silence passed with them hugging each other before Yufeng raised her head.
She stared into Yun Che's eyes and inquired.
"When are you leaving for the God Realm?"
"Soon. In a day at most."
"... Can I come too?"
"Silly girl." Yun Che sighed.
It was not that he didn't want to bring her with him, but the fact that he cannot take care of them if something arises.
The God Realm was massive, and he was sure he wouldn't be staying in one place all the time.
And knowing the nature of people there, he didn't want to endanger the lives of his loved ones.
On this planet, there are the Phoenix and the Golden Crow that will make sure no harm comes to the people or this realm.
With their protection, even if the whole God Realm were to go against him and attack his home planet, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
That wasn't the case within the God Realm.
"I fear that something might happen to you girls." He gently rubbed her head and explained. "Just wait a little. I have a plan. Once I am done with this, we will have a base of our own within the God Realm. It won't take long."
"I see…" Yufeng's expression deflated. "Yufeng will listen to Husband then."
She looked at Yun Che and said seriously.
"But you have to promise that it won't be long! And if it is, then you must visit me at least once a week. Meanwhile, Yufeng will make sure to manage this whole realm in your absence."
"Of course." Yun Che chuckled. "Even if you hadn't said it, I cannot live long without seeing you girls once anyway."
"That's good then." Yufeng nodded. "Well then, come. It's time to practice the law of Yin and Yang!"
Yun Che pursed his lips.
Such is the life of a harem protagonist.

The Black Fiend Nation was one of the seven nations within the Profound Sky Continent.
In a certain part of the forest, filled with dense black miasma and thick dark profound energy, Yun Che appeared.
"For a nation named Black Fiend, I had expected some big baddie to come out of it when I was reading the novel. But it sure is calm here."
Though a devil did come out of here, maybe that counts.
A map of the forest area appeared within Yun Che's vision.
He scanned the map and soon found the object he was looking for.
With a thought, he vanished and appeared in front of the source of all the darkness profound energy there: a dark coffin.
It was a crystalline coffin, but one could not see anything inside. Dark fog had hidden everything about its content.
Yun Che smiled seeing this, aware of what it was; the only existing True Devil within the Primal Chaos.
"Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night has always been my favorite Dark Profound Art. It's quite sad that it wasn't given much exposure within the original story."
He always found this art to be one of the coolest arts within the story.
And even though he understood the reason why it wasn't given much exposure, after the conversion of Yun Che to the dark side, he at least hoped for him to use it regularly.
Sadly, he got his hands on something more overpowered by the Devil Emperor. So this art was once again buried in the wall of texts.
Without any problem, Yun Che easily opened the coffin.
A thick fog instantly sprung out of it and latched onto Yun Che, but due to his passive defenses and resistances, it couldn't even touch his hair.
Yun Che chuckled seeing this.
"It's useless. We can be here for eternity and you can't do anything to me."
"Who are you?" A distorted adult voice echoed around Yun Che. It was coming from inside the coffin where the fog had gathered once more.
"Your daddy killer." Yun Che smirked coldly.
He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, something invisible getting caught in his hand.
"W-wait!" The devil couldn't finish his sentence before Yun Che destroyed his soul completely.
He wasn't in the mood to chat and waste his time today. He had to go back before Jasmine and Ling'er woke up.
It was their first time, so he would feel quite bad if he wasn't there when they woke up.
'Though with Jasmine's senses, she would have probably found it.'
Jasmine was also planning to return to her home, if it can be called one. Her worries for her sister were increasing with each day and she was getting slightly impatient.
Yun Che wouldn't find it weird if she left today or tomorrow.
'I already have a part of her soul sealed within my inventory just in case. Though I am sure nothing will happen, it never hurts to be careful.'
Just because he can revive his wife's infinite times doesn't mean he would let them die.
That would be a stain on his pride and reputation, not to forget that he would probably hate himself for not being able to save them. He'd rather not enter a self-blaming arc. That was kind of pointless.
Once the fog vanished, a sword was revealed within the coffin.
A long black sword with a closed eye near its hilt.
It was the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword with the soul of Moon Slaughter Sovereign's son sealed inside of it.
"Now that I think about it, I should have just asked Wentian about it. Oh well."
The moment he picked it, the eye on the sword opened. It released a dark beam toward Yun Che's head, trying to invade it.
But the moment it touched it, a draconic aura engulfed Yun Che.
The sound of birds and beasts' cries instantly engulfed the forest, and the suppression of True Dragon God burst out of Yun Che's sword.
Unlike the previous soul, it was an attack from a True Devil. Of course, Yun Che wasn't taking any chances.
"Azure Dragon God?! No, how are you still alive?!"
"You talk too much."
A disgusted expression appeared on Yun Che's face. Once again, he grabbed the devil soul, despite its desperate attempt to save itself, and crushed it.
Soul or not, it still didn't have any strength itself except for soul force. And with Yun Che's soul being True Dragon God, it was quite useless.
[Skill "Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night" inquired!]
[Skill "Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night" maxed!]
"Finally." A smile appeared on Yun Che's face. "With this, it's time to leave this realm."
{Brother Yun, Sister Phoenix kidnapped Sister Caiyi…}
Cang Yue's voice rang in Yun Che's head, and a deadpan expression appeared on Yun Che's face.
"Sigh… I kinda regret not reviving Azure Dragon God instead."
