The Universe Airship continued along the familiar route between Mountain Dew Sect and Bara City.
They could have reached Bara City a little faster by flying in a straight line, but Leyvi preferred taking the same paths he had traveled before. He liked seeing how much the places had changed over time.
"Lilian, if I remember correctly, you used to have a high-grade spirit root, right?" Leyvi asked. "You could be considered a valuable talent back then. Why didn't the sect nurture you more?"
He and Lilian had just finished another intimate session and were now lying comfortably on the bed. Apparently, seeing Jojori growing up well had stirred Lilian's desire to have her own child, so she had been actively initiating intimate activities with him more often lately.
"They tried," Lilian replied softly, recalling the past. "But they eventually gave up because my personality wasn't suitable."
Back then, she was always hiding away in her garden, tending to plants and rarely cultivating.
Leyvi chuckled. "I keep forgetting that you used to be like that."
"Well, I've changed now. Going out is not scary anymore," Lilian said, looking pleased with herself. "My sister said she's proud of me!"
"Is that so?" Leyvi smiled. "Lili and Lian don't seem to have changed at all. They're still as big as the first time I saw them. Still heavy and soft, just as I remember."
His hand sneaked up and gently cupped one of her enormous breasts, playing with it affectionately.
"If only they could help me get pregnant more easily," Lilian said with a hint of disappointment. "But Hana proved otherwise."
She had heard that women with more voluptuous figures were supposed to be more fertile and easier to conceive with. Reality, however, had shown otherwise. Hana, who had the least curves among them, had gotten pregnant faster than the others. The rumor was clearly not true.
"Hahaha. This is something influenced by many different factors," Leyvi said gently. "We can never know for sure."
"Husband, sow more seeds in my private garden please~," Lilian said seductively as she shifted into position, inviting him once again. "The more, the better."
"Yes, my lady," Leyvi replied with a warm smile as he rose from the bed. "Your husband will do his best."
He was amused that Lilian, who used to only care about planting seeds in her garden, now cared so much about human seeds. And since his lovely wife was asking so earnestly, how could he possibly refuse?

Later, the airship passed through Tal and Tasya's hometown. The mortal town was doing quite well now. Tal and Tasya took a quiet moment to visit their parents' graves before the group continued onward.
Then, they arrived at the former site of Mystical Array Valley, now known simply as Slash Valley.
Leyvi was surprised to see large-scale construction underway. After asking around, it turned out that a group of rogue cultivators had banded together to form a new sect in the valley. Their establishment had already been approved by the Protector.
It was discovered that the spirit stone mines located deep inside the two mountains beside the valley had remained completely unharmed and could still be harvested. After all, it would be a waste to leave such valuable cultivation resources untouched.
Leyvi sighed. It seemed that if Bellion ever wanted to rebuild Mystical Array Valley in the future, he would have to find an entirely new location. Or perhaps, if he became influential enough, he could force this new sect to relocate elsewhere.
They did not stop for long and continued their return journey.
Soon, they entered the vast grassland, Mr. Bison's homeland.
While passing through this wide, open flatland, Mr. Bison suddenly requested Leyvi to help him find his old herd.
At first, Leyvi thought he was worried about them, but it turned out he simply wanted to show off again to the five female bisons who had kicked him out in the past.
Although it felt ridiculous, Leyvi still agreed to help. If this silly motivation kept pushing Mr. Bison to become stronger, then why not? It was not a big deal.
While searching for the bison herd, Leyvi encountered a few crazed demonic beasts. He went out personally and took care of them.
It took quite a while to locate the herd because they had migrated further north across the grassland. Leyvi noticed that their numbers had shrunk a little compared to the last time he had seen them.
To make a grand appearance, Mr. Bison jumped off the airship and crashed dramatically onto the ground near the herd. With his current strength, falling from such a height did not hurt him at all. He thought it would look impressive and cool, but instead it just created a huge mess, kicking up clouds of dust, dirt, and broken rocks.
After Mr. Bison crawled out of the crater he had made, he noticed that the originally five female demonic bison had now been reduced to four, and the herd itself had noticeably shrunk in size.
"Grathul! It's you! Why have you come here again?" Graalkira, the current leader of the bison herd, asked in surprise, lowering her guard.
She had initially thought they were being ambushed by enemies. It turned out to be the handsome bison she had expelled long ago. She had a feeling he had come to show off again, especially since he looked quite different now.
Mr. Bison, who had originally wanted to brag and show off in front of them, suddenly lost the mood. It seemed the herd was not doing well at all. He did not particularly like Graalkira, but he still cared about the herd he had come from.
"Snort!"
"So you've reached the Intermediate Level," Mr. Bison said. "But what's going on here? Are you doing your job properly? The herd should be bigger after so many years, not smaller. And where is Nokhila?"
Graalkira felt a powerful pressure coming from Mr. Bison even though he was not exerting any deliberate force. It felt as if she was facing a creature that lorded over them.
Just how strong has he become? she thought, feeling conflicted.
Graalkira began explaining honestly about what had happened.
It turned out that a couple of years ago, the female bison named Nokhila had become a crazed demonic beast. She had gone off on her own to attack a group of cultivators who had begun gathering around the former site of Mystical Array Valley, killing a few weak ones.
After the cultivators killed Nokhila in retaliation, they became enraged and started hunting the rest of the bison herd.
Because of that incident, many bisons were slaughtered. Unable to defend against the large number of cultivators, Graalkira had no choice but to lead the surviving herd and escape, migrating further north across the grassland.
Unfortunately, even now there were still cultivators holding grudges from that event who came this far to hunt them whenever possible. Because of this, it had become very difficult for the herd to recover from their losses.
Mr. Bison temporarily set aside his usual delusions and asked for Leyvi's opinion on the situation.
Leyvi realized that Mr. Bison still cared deeply about his old herd, so he did not tease him about it.
"This Red Eye Craze phenomenon is becoming more and more frequent," Leyvi said seriously. "It's definitely going to cause greater chaos in the future. I suggest you temporarily bring the entire herd to Bara City. If another one of them becomes crazed, we can subdue her immediately, lock her up, and observe whether the condition improves once everything settles down."
"Damn, Boss! They're not my girlfriends!" Mr. Bison retorted immediately. "As if they deserve a bison as handsome and powerful as me. They're not female protagonist material at all."
Leyvi rolled his eyes. This bison's delusion came back very quickly.
"But I agree with your suggestion, Boss," Mr. Bison continued. "I can't let those bighorn sheep family think they own the city. It will be us bisons who conquer all the wild grass in Bara City!"
Leyvi was dumbfounded. How is this related at all? Does he really think all the grass in Bara City belongs to him?
And so, Leyvi left Mr. Bison behind with his herd so he could guide and protect them on their journey to Bara City, while the Leyan Family continued ahead and returned first.
Graalkira was initially unwilling, but after Mr. Bison unleashed his overwhelming bloodline power and completely dominated them, the entire herd immediately submitted. All the bisons now looked at Mr. Bison with reverence and awe.
Mr. Bison's power had already reached a level far beyond what they could comprehend.

After Leyvi returned to Bara City, he did not forget the promise he had made to his supporters. Three days later, he hosted a grand banquet for them. This included everyone who worked for the Leyan Family, for example, members of Bara Corp, those in administrative roles, people hired to help run the family businesses, and many more.
It was his way of showing genuine appreciation for the devotion and loyalty they had given to the Leyan Family over the years.
Leyvi was exceptionally generous during the banquet. He let them experience heavenly dishes prepared from the meat of Commander Level demonic beasts. He also gifted them rare cultivation resources that were difficult to obtain elsewhere, such as Natural Liquid Qi and various high-quality alchemy products to support their cultivation.
His generosity moved them deeply and made them even more devoted to the Leyan Family.
A few days later, Mr. Bison and his herd finally arrived. They were immediately brought to several large unused plots of land filled with lush grass that Leyvi had prepared for them.
After everything was settled and the family had adjusted back to life in Bara City, Leyvi finally immersed himself fully in cultivation once more. This time, he focused primarily on advancing his Spiritual Cultivation.
