Zhu Yuhe asked Xia Tian. "So what's your next plan, Tian?"
"Since grandpa has bought a big shop in this city, I plan to use that shop for so business. First, Ying'er will still be selling pills, potions, and the like. Second, Xue'er and ng'er will be running other businesses. Third, Xiang'er and Suya will take care of my wine sales." Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan were surprised to hear that, and he then continued. "Apart from that, I want you to send hundreds of soldiers to help repair the inside of the fortress, and all of you will live in it in the future."
Zhou Xuan then asked him. "Why do you want us to live in the fortress, Tian?"
Xia Tian nodded and explained it to them. "In the future, I will bring all of you to the Holy Central Continent, and there are too many strong cultivators there, so it would be best if you guys stayed inside the fortress. Moreover, I plan to take all of you to a higher realm after I break through to the Ancestor Origin Realm later, and the fortress is the safest place for you all."
"Eh!?" Zhu Yuhe, Zhu Honglian, and Zhou Xuan all cried out in shock after hearing his last sentences, and they didn't expect that Xia Tian had already thought of a plan to bring them all to the higher realms.
Xia Tian then spoke to them again. "But before that, I must get rid of everything that is harmful for you guys, and I also want to build a few houses for you guys to live in later, so you can live comfortably in the fortress."
"But why do you suddenly want to go to a higher realm, Tian?" Zhu Yuhe asked him.
Zhou Xuan then inquired. "Wouldn't it be too soon if we went to a higher realm when you just reached the Ancestor Origin Realm?"
"Moreover, you want us all to live in the fortress; that ans you will roam the higher realm alone, and I think it will be dangerous for you, Tian." Zhu Honglian joined in, and his tone was filled with concern.
"Sigh." Xia Tian sighed softly and explained to them. "I know about your worries, but if we continue to stay in the Seven-Star World, then our cultivation will be slow to progress, especially after we reach the Ancestor Origin Realm. That's why I want to take all of you to higher realms, and if we cultivate in one of those worlds, then our cultivation will be able to improve much faster, because the energy of heaven and earth in every world in the higher realms is much thicker than here."
Zhu Yuhe nodded in understanding; she herself could feel that her cultivation had beco extrely slow after she reached the Ancestor Origin Realm, even though she had repeatedly dual-cultivated with Xia Tian.
"As for the dangers, every world in the higher realms is actually not that different from this Seven-Star World. Moreover, you guys should know that I'm a very careful person in my actions, so I can confidently avoid all those dangers."
Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan didn't refute that; they knew very well that Xia Tian had always prepared his actions very carefully, and he had done so several tis, especially when they had war against Hong Chen back then.
Zhu Yuhe softly sighed and said, "When are you going to start cleaning and rebuilding the inside of the fortress? I will contact your grandfather to have several hundred soldiers co to help you."
"As soon as possible." Xia Tian himself didn't want to waste too much ti, especially now that his cultivation base had already reached the 5th Stage Earth Origin Realm, and he was confident that he would be able to break through to the Heaven Origin Realm much faster than his previous calculations.
"When are you going to the Holy Central Continent, Tian?" Zhou Xuan asked.
Xia Tian turned his head outside and looked in the direction of the Holy Central Continent. "Once I reach the Heaven Origin Realm, then I will go to that continent to pick up Tian Qilian. Although I always get news about her from Shiyun, I want to quickly bring her to my side, and I hope I can do it before our child is born."
They looked at Xia Tian with a strange feeling. They didn't even know Tian Qilian, but she was the first woman to bear his child, and they also knew that their child would be born soon—in less than five months, to be exact.
While waiting for the won to finish arranging their things, Xia Tian summoned Ran Qing and Nalan Qing and asked them to set up the Baijian Formation Array that he had brought from the Xia Manor. As for the Chixiu Formation Array, he planned to set it up in the fortress, but he had to wait for it to be repaired first.
Although Ran Qing and Nalan Qing's cultivations weren't as high as Qiao Xiao's, they were more than enough to set up the protective formation, and soon an energy do enveloped their new residence. Xia Tian then breathed a sigh of relief; that way, they could be safe from people who had malicious intentions against them.
After they finished arranging their things, Xia Tian then brought Estella out from within his dual cultivation space, and Zhu Yuhe raised her eyebrows when she saw her. 'This woman's aura is really strong; it's even stronger than Ran Qing and Nalan Qing.'
Estella frowned as she looked at Ran Qing and spoke to her. "I rember you; you are one of the princesses of the Arcane Elf Race, but I didn't expect that you would be in this world."
"Heh, Estella the Dark Queen, your situation is truly pathetic; you've even beco my brother-in-law's slave now." Ran Qing mocked her.
"You-"
"Enough!" Xia Tian imdiately stopped them by releasing his golden dragon aura for a brief mont, but it was enough to silence them. Since the Dark Race was the enemy of cultivators, he knew that Ran Qing also hated Estella very much.
Xia Tian shook his head looking at them; he imdiately took out the fortress and turned it a little bigger, then he brought the won inside, including Feng Xian'er, Shui Liuli, and Ran Ling'er.

"Ugh! Why did you bring back here, Tian?" Feng Xian'er said as her body trembled.
Xia Tian grabbed Feng Xian'er's hand and channeled his light energy. "Xian'er, relax, nothing bad will happen again."
"I know." Feng Xian'er sighed softly.
"Tian, this bedroom is even more luxurious than Aunt Yuhe's." Xia Xing said as she lay down on Estella's bed, and they also agreed with her words.
Estella scowled at them on her bed, but just as she was about to scold them, Xia Tian glared fiercely at her, and she imdiately swallowed her words.
"Let's look elsewhere first." Since the fortress was already under Xia Tian's control, they had no trouble exploring the areas inside.

Before long, they had arrived at the Dark Sacrifice Pond, and Ran Qing asked. "What are you going to do with this pond, brother? The water in this pond is very poisonous, and it is very dangerous for them."
"Hey, this is really easy." Xia Tian then disappeared from their sight, and he reappeared a few monts later carrying several large barrels of water from the sacred jade pond. He then poured all the water into the pond directly.
Estella frowned when she saw Xia Tian's action, but just as she was about to ask him, her eyes suddenly widened at the changes that had occurred in the pond, and she cried out in shock. "What the hell!? What kind of water is that!? How can it get rid of the poison in it?"
"Of course, it's not ordinary water, and its effect is as you have seen for yourself." Xia Tian replied with a chuckle, but he had no intention of telling Estella about his Ancient Sacred Realm.
Minutes later, the pitch-black water in the pond has beco clear, and the poison in it has completely disappeared. "Well, this is really good."
"This pool is really wide and quite deep, so it's really suitable for our bathing pool, Tian." Yu Suyin observed the depths of the pond while squatting beside it.
The other won also agreed with her, not to ntion that Xia Tian has many won. That way, they can take a bath together later.
Xia Tian just smiled at them; he then led them to the next area.

As they arrived there, Liu Ying's eyes lit up upon seeing the various rare herbs in the field. Even though it was her first ti seeing the herbs, she could recognize them easily, and that was thanks to Qiao Xiao's teachings. "Tian! Let take care of this herb field!"
"All right, if you want to take care of them, then you can do that." Xia Tian unhesitatingly agreed to his mother's request.
.
.
.
.
After that, they went to the torture chamber, and almost all of the won trembled in horror at the sight of the room.
Seeing them like that, Ran Qing imdiately used her energy to gather all the skeletons in the place together, including the ones in the hole.
After that, Xia Tian used his golden flas to burn them to ashes, making Estella sigh heavily in her heart. 'This damn Xia Tian! He destroyed everything I spent years collecting!'
