Quickly, another three years passed inside Yunlong Zuzhai, equivalent to about 100 days in the outside world.

Although his lust hadn't completely subsided after Jiao Jin unlocked his seal three years ago, Ling Yun decided to stop dual cultivating with most of his wives, especially since he had been focused on their activities for six and a half years straight.

Most of Ling Yun's wives, including Yi Mingxia and several others, have broken through the Five God Realms. Some of them, including Mei Yi, Sophie, Qiao Lingzhi, and Nangong Nichang, have not yet broken through to that stage.

During that time, Ling Yun never accompanied his children, so he wanted to accompany them first since five of them were now adults. Even his last three daughters were old enough, but he had never accompanied them.

Yun Qingfeng, Yun Longhun, Yun Shengyun, Yun Shengxia, and Yun Jingqiu were already young adults at the age of 18. Meanwhile, Meng Ke'er was already 8 years old, and Xuanyuan Yue and Lian Ziyue were almost 7 years old.

Ling Yun never accompanied Meng Ke'er, Xuanyuan Xue, and Lian Ziyue, but Meng Xianzi, Xuanyuan Xue'er, and Lian Bing always accompanied their three daughters. They did not join their husband in seclusion, as their cultivation had long been broken through to the Five God Realms.

"Father." Meng Ke'er, Xuanyuan Xue, and Lian Ziyue called softly as soon as Ling Yun appeared in front of them.

Looking at his three daughters, Ling Yun inwardly sighed as he felt guilty towards them. He squatted in front of them and hugged them. "Please forgive me; I have never accompanied the three of you in these years."

The three hugged Ling Yun back, and Meng Ke'er spoke to him. "Father, we always hoped you would accompany us, but our mothers have told us that you are working hard to become strong for our safety and future, so we never blamed you."

"Me too, Father." Xuanyuan Yue rubbed her face against Ling Yun's chest as she spoke. "Even though you never accompanied us, our mothers, brothers, and sisters told us that you loved us very much."

"Are you going into seclusion again, Father?" Lian Ziyue asked in her crisp voice.

Ling Yun hugged them tightly. "You three are my daughters, so I love all of you very much, and I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I will stop my seclusion for a while, and I will accompany the three of you for now."

"Really?" Meng Ke'er, Xuanyuan Xue, and Lian Ziyue looked up at Ling Yun with expectant looks.

"Yes." Ling Yun nodded before kissing each of their foreheads. "The situation is indeed dire, and the darkness is deviously approaching us, but I've neglected you three for too long, so I won't neglect you guys any longer."

"Yay!" The three little girls cheered with joy.

Meng Ke'er then spoke. "Father, my mother has taught me a lot these past few years, so I want to show you my progress."

"Me too, Father!" Xuanyuan Yue raised her small hand. "My mother also taught me a lot about swordsmanship, and I want to show you the results of my training, Father."

"Alright, I will see your abilities." Ling Yun then looked at Lian Ziyue. "What about you, Ziyue?"

With a shy look, Lian Ziyue twirled her two index fingers in circles, confusing Ling Yun. He wanted to ask her, but an ice domain suddenly enveloped them, with many small ice lotuses floating inside.

"These." Ling Yun looked at the ice domain and those ice lotuses with amazement. "Are these your two innate abilities, Ziyue?"

"Yes, Father." Lian Ziyue nodded slightly. "This domain is my Silent Ice Domain ability, and these ice lotuses come from my Purity Ice Lotus ability."

Lian Bing immediately explained to Ling Yun the effects of their daughter's two innate abilities. "Yue'er can already use them, but she can't control them properly yet, and their duration is still short because her body has too little qi."

"I don't think it's a problem, Bing'er. Our daughter isn't even seven yet, so I think it's normal for her to only be able to use them for a short duration. When she grows up and her cultivation improves, she will become one of the best ice cultivators, and she might surpass you and Bing Xue." Ling Yun then asked their daughter. "What about your Heavenly Frost Essence ability, Ziyue?"

"Father, I can't use that ability here, and I can only use it in areas filled with Ice Qi." Ling Yun raised an eyebrow momentarily, prompting Lian Ziyue to explain to him. "Father, my Heavenly Frost Essence ability allows me to absorb the purest ice qi, and my Ice Fairy Physique makes my ice qi absorption rate much faster than my mother's and Mother Bing Xue's. However, my absorption is still less rapid than Mother Ling Ling's, as she is the Yin Dragon."

"The purest ice qi." Ling Yun muttered in a daze.

Lian Bing nodded at Ling Yun before taking out a fairly large stone and speaking to her daughter. "Show it to your father, Yue'er."

"Yes, Mother." In less than a second, the stone froze as soon as Lian Ziyue touched it, and it shattered into pieces afterwards.

Ling Yun took a deep breath upon witnessing this, as he possessed the ice element himself; however, he could not freeze the stone that quickly when his cultivation was still at his daughter's level.

"Husband, Yue'er's ice qi is exceptionally strong because of her Ice Fairy Physique, and Big Sister Qi mentioned that she resembles an ice spirit. In fact, she can freeze not only rocks but also air and wind." Ling Yun stared at Lian Bing in shock. "Try it, Yue'er."

Lian Ziyue deactivated her other two abilities before moving her small hands in the air, and an ice crystal appeared out of nowhere. She handed it over to Ling Yun, who was stunned by her action. "Here, Father."

"Yeah." Ling Yun received and observed the ice crystal directly, discovering the wind frozen within it. "Have you brought our daughter to meet Yue Mengyi, Bing'er? As I recall, she is an ice spirit born from the coldest ice in her universe, so she should be able to help our daughter."

"Not yet." Lian Bing shook her head at Ling Yun. "Actually, I've already gone to the Thousand Beast Realm, but Senior Yue Mengyi and Senior Feng Huang went to another domain for their seclusion."
