"What if we live in that area?" Huang Xiaoyan pointed to the east after scanning the area. "There's a city that's neither small nor large there; the population isn't large either, and there are only a few cultivators in the Seven Divine Realms living there. Moreover, the area outside the city is quite fertile, surrounded by several naturally flowing rivers."
"I think that area is excellent, Old Tian." Han Shuo readily agreed. "That city is far from other major cities on this continent, so you and your family can live there in peace, and no one will disturb your cultivation."
Before informing Xia Tian, Alice also examined the area. [Master, that area is the best choice for you and all your wives. The city isn't that big and not that crowded, but I think you can open your shop there, and you can collect more peak-grade spirit stones for their cultivation.]
Even though he knew that Huang Xiaoyan and Han Shuo would not hesitate if he asked for their help, Xia Tian did not want to rely on them all the time. Moreover, the number of his wives and family members was not small, and they needed a lot of top-notch cultivation resources to speed up their cultivation before he could send them to the Holy Sacred Realm.
Xia Tian had many advantages in his possession, including his Yang Energy and the system. However, he needed spirit stones to buy the majority of items in the system, except for those in the dual cultivation shop. Therefore, he had to find a way to collect them himself, and opening a physical shop was his best choice.
Seeing Xia Tian deep in thought, Huang Xiaoyan patted his shoulder. "You don't need to worry about those cultivators, Tian. My new artifact has a powerful defensive formation, and I also have several other defensive artifacts, so Big Sis Yinyue and the others will definitely be safe. Moreover, we have Uncle Han here, and you can use his help to create some things around our future living area."
"Yeah, you're right," Xia Tian replied with a light nod. "Does your new artifact have the energy gathering array and the time formation array inside it?"
"Hey! Naturally, my new artifact is equipped with the energy gathering array, the best one, in fact." Huang Xiaoyan proudly replied. "As for the time formation array, there's only one person who possesses such a formation in this universe. He's unwilling to teach it to anyone, so I can't create one for my new artifact."
Xia Tian knew the person Huang Xiaoyan was referring to. "In that case, let's go to that area now, and I'll take a look at your new artifact first before I decide anything."
"Let's go, Uncle Han."
The three of them floated from the flying artifact so Han Shuo could keep it. They didn't want to attract people's attention because his flying artifact was too conspicuous, and manual flying was the best choice for that.

With Han Shuo's cultivation, they could arrive at the area they had previously chosen in just a few minutes. They immediately landed in an empty area quite far from the city, which is close to two naturally flowing rivers.
"Take out your artifact now, Xiaoyan."
"Impatient, aren't you?" Xia Tian raised an eyebrow when Huang Xiaoyan took out a cube-shaped artifact, and she immediately jumped back as she threw it into the area in front of her. "Retreat."
Xia Tan and Han Shuo immediately followed Huang Xiaoyan by jumping backwards, but both of them were stunned when the cube-shaped artifact turned into a quite luxurious and large mansion building. "This."
"Did your mother give you the idea to build this artifact, Xiaoyan?" Xia Tian asked as he looked at the mansion.
"No." Huang Xiaoyan led Xia Tian and Han Shuo into the mansion. "Actually, I built this moonlit mansion a long time ago, and you were still alive at that time. I was too lazy to live in the city because it was too noisy, and I really liked a quiet place, so I built this mansion artifact for me to live in when I went to the other realm. However, this artifact was still incomplete at that time, and I perfected it after your death."
"However, you never used it because you locked yourself away for the past hundred years."
"You shouldn't bring up that matter anymore, Uncle Han." Huang Xiaoyan pointed at Xia Tian. "He is alive now, so we must forget the past and look to the future."
"Haha." Han Shuo laughed before teasing Xia Tian. "Hey, Old Tian! Why haven't you taken Xiaoyan as your wife yet? She loved you wholeheartedly and mourned you for the past hundred years, and she also joined you in seclusion for the past three months. She—"
"It's okay, Uncle Han." Huang Xiaoyan stopped him. "Tian, you can summon them out now."
Xia Tian immediately summoned all the women out of the dual cultivation space, except for Fan Jing and Qiao Xiao, who were in their respective realms.
Xia Tian supported Liu Ying, who was pregnant with twins. Moreover, she was already eight months pregnant and would give birth soon. "Which realm are we in now, Tian?"
"The Nine Clouds Realm." Xia Tian immediately explained the details of the realm to them, particularly focusing on the situation there. "This Luoying Continent is the third from the bottom, but the spiritual energy here is tremendous, and it is not inferior to the top three. This continent is no less dangerous than the other eight, and countless cultivators with cultivation in the Seven Divine Realms live in this realm, so you guys must be careful when traveling outside."
"Does that mean we will stay in this realm for a long time, husband?" Bai Yinyue asked while looking at the areas of the mansion.
Xia Tian shook his head at her. "I haven't decided how long we'll stay in this realm, but this is the best choice for us right now. Once our cultivation reaches the Seven Divine Realms, I'll send you all to the Holy Sacred Realm, and I'll go to the Mysterious Realm after that. By the way, this mansion belongs to Xiaoyan, and there are many formations here, so all of you will be safe as long as you stay here."
"So, what are your plans for our life in this realm, Tian?" Zhu Yuhe asked.
