Chapter 1172: Blazing Nirvana Domain

"Is this your private domain, Yao’er?" Feng Jiu asked when they arrived at the Blazing Nirvana Domain.

Feng Tian also asked her. "Why did you suddenly decide to bring us here, Yao’er? Do you want to revive this domain?"

The Blazing Nirvana Domain is shrouded in eternal crimson flames. Mountains of blackened obsidian stretch endlessly, their peaks crowned with fire lotuses that bloom amidst the inferno. The air ripples with unbearable heat, distorting vision and scorching the unprepared.

At the domain’s heart lies the Nirvana Sea of ​​Fire, an ocean of molten fire said to incinerate the body while tempering the soul. Within it resides the legendary Eternal Flame Heart, a divine fire spirit that embodies both destruction and rebirth. Cultivators who dare to enter face the agony of burning away their mortal shell; those who manage to endure may undergo a complete transformation, rising stronger, as if reborn from ashes.

"My people have long awaited my return." Feng Yao smiled as she looked around the domain. "Moreover, your son-in-law will host cultivators from various domains at the opening ceremony of his new sect in a month, and he doesn’t yet have truly powerful backers. Therefore, it’s time for me to revive this domain, and they will become his backers."

Feng Jiu and Feng Tian exchanged glances after Feng Yao said that. "Yao’er, please tell us about your true feelings toward Zhang Fei. Sometimes, we feel you two are distant from each other, but we can see that you are always supportive of him, and you are willing to do many things for his sake."

"Do you love Zhang Fei or not, Yao’er?" Feng Tian asked her too.

"Feelings and love are insignificant things, and I have neither." Feng Yao’s response confused Feng Jiu and Feng Tian. "I was born for a certain purpose, and I will disappear once the purpose of my birth is fulfilled."

Feng Jiu grabbed her hand. "What do you mean by that, Yao’er? What do you mean that you will disappear once the purpose of your birth is fulfilled?"

"Mother, I won’t say anything for now, and you will know the answer far in the future." Feng Yao led the two of them to fly to the crimson palace, which floated on the sea of ​​fire right in the center of the domain.

As they flew there, the sea of ​​flames below began to churn, and countless flame beasts leaped out from within. Even the sky above the domain rumbled with unusual sounds, and many crimson lines resembling a rainbow appeared in the distance.

The temperature in the domain became scorching, followed by the appearance of countless crimson flames, which immediately turned into crimson women. They kneel with one leg in the midair, welcoming the return of their long-lost master.

Feng Jiu and Feng Tian were completely shocked by what they saw. They knew Feng Yao was no ordinary woman, but producing such a phenomenon with just her presence was not a simple feat.

Huo Ling immediately emerged from Feng Yao’s body and smiled at all this. "Look at them, Master. You’ve been gone for a long time and reincarnated as your current self, but they’ve never forgotten you, and they immediately appeared to welcome your return."

"Yeah." Feng Yao looked towards the crimson palace, and a faint smile appeared on her face as she watched three women, all crimson-haired and crimson-dressed, walk out from within. However, she was more focused on the young woman who was leading at the front. "Huo Lanyin."

Huo Lanyin has long, flowing crimson-red hair that cascades down her back. Her face was refined, with smooth pale skin, straight eyebrows, bright crimson eyes, a slender nose, and soft red lips, giving her a striking yet elegant appearance.

Huo Lanyin’s figure was tall and curvaceous, with long legs and a straight posture. Her breasts were full and prominent, accentuated by the design of her attire. She wore a fitted, ornate crimson dress with golden patterns that traced along her curves, showing off the smooth skin of her chest. The fabric was layered with sheer, flowing material that draped like flames around her, creating a seductive and alluring aura.

"Who is that woman, Yao’er?"

"Mother, her name is Huo Lanyin, and she comes from the third generation of my Huo Clan." Feng Yao’s answer left Feng Jiu stunned. "She has followed me since she was five years old, and I taught her all my knowledge about alchemy. Right now, she is the best female alchemist, and Jin Nanqing is the best male alchemist in the entire Paradise Realm."

Before long, they landed in front of the palace. Huo Lanyin immediately led the other women to salute Feng Yao. "Welcome back, Empress Huo. We have heard that you have returned to this realm, and we have been waiting for your arrival."

"Hehe." Feng Yao giggled and lifted Huo Lanyin. She rubbed her cheeks before hugging her, which she immediately reciprocated. "I’m sorry; I’ve made you and the others wait for thousands of years, Lanyin."

"Thousands of years is only a short time for cultivators like us, so you don’t need to apologize to us, Empress." Huo Lanyin then parted their embrace, looked at Feng Yao, and touched her face. "Even though you have been reincarnated, your face is almost no different from the past, but you look much younger."

Feng Yao smiled at that and placed two pills into Huo Lanyin’s mouth directly. "I got them from a friend, and you’ll definitely love their effects."

"Uhm." Huo Lanyin nodded slightly and swallowed both pills.

Feng Yao then looked at the two women behind Huo Lanyin. "How are you two, Huo Hao’er and Huo Yu’er?"

"We are fine, and we really missed you, Empress." Both women answered in unison. Huo Hao’er’s voice was more husky, and Huo Yu’er’s voice was more feminine.

Huo Hao’er has striking bright crimson hair, cut short in a layered style that frames her face with sharp. Her face was soft yet confident, with sharp eyebrows and almond-shaped crimson eyes. Her lips were naturally full. She has a voluptuous figure, with a slender waist and attractive curves. She wore a deep crimson, high-slit outfit tailored from glossy fabric that stretched to her shape. Her bold, sleeveless dress features a plunging neckline that showcases her large and firm breasts, creating deep cleavage.

Huo Yu’er had long crimson hair that was left flowing down past her buttocks. She wore a striking red dress adorned with silver-gilded patterns resembling flowing vines and blossoms with revealing cutouts on the sides and shoulders. Her face was sculpted with fair skin, gentle blush, graceful brows, a slender nose, and naturally tinted red lips.

Huo Yu’er immediately walked to Feng Yao’s side, hugged her arm, and shook it. "Where are my pills, Empress?"

"Haha." Feng Yao softly laughed at Huo Yu’er’s childish behavior before stuffing two pills into her mouth, and she also gave them to Huo Hao’er. "Swallow them now, and we’ll talk after you three are finished."

"Yes, Empress." Both Huo Hao’er and Huo Yu’er immediately swallowed the pills.

Feng Jiu then asked her daughter. ’If Huo Lanyin is the third generation of my Huo Clan, then who are these two women?’

’Mother, neither of them are members of my Huo Clan, and I found both of them almost dead in front of a ruin. Their real names are actually Chen Hao’er and Ling Yu’er, but they changed their surnames, following mine. As you can see, Hao’er is a pure human, but Yu’er is a half-elf race.’ Feng Yao then explained to her mother several things about the two women. ’Since then, they have followed me, but they are not alchemists like Lanyin. Hao’er is more interested in artifacts and ruins, and Yu’er is more interested in arrays.’

’Oh.’ Feng Jiu nodded slightly. ’Are there only three of them living in this palace?’

Feng Yao shook her head at her. ’There are still hundreds of women inside, and you two will meet them soon. However, their status is different from Lanyin, Hao’er, and Yu’er.’

A while later, Huo Lanyin, Huo Hao’er, and Huo Yu’er had finished taking the pills and were admiring their changed appearances in the mirror. Although the three of them still looked youthful before swallowing the pills, their faces had become much younger after taking them, which amazed them.

"Empress, who concocted the two pills?" Huo Lanyin curiously asked.

"His name is Zhang Fei, and he—"

"He is our son-in-law." The three women immediately looked at Feng Jiu in shock before returning their gazes to Feng Yao.

Feng Yao introduced them directly. "They are my parents in this lifetime, Feng Jiu and Feng Tian. As you can see, they are not ordinary humans but mythical phoenix beasts, and so am I."

After hearing that, the three women hurriedly paid their respects to Feng Jiu and Feng Tian. "Does that mean you are married in this life, Empress?"

"Not yet." Feng Yao immediately led them into the palace. "Let’s meet the others first, and I will explain things to the three of you afterward."

"Yes, Empress."

.

A while later, they arrived at the throne room, where a large, crimson throne sat at the front. Hundreds of crimson-haired and crimson-clad women lined up neatly on both sides, but not all of them were human, and they came from various races: humans, beasts, natural races, and even demons.

All of them immediately lowered their heads as Feng Yao led the others inside, but they couldn’t hide the excited smiles on their faces.
