Tang Xiao's clone arrived at a place filled with lava. "Damn! Is this place a volcano?"
"You're right, we are indeed inside a volcano now." Feng Yao stepped out of the portal. "To be precise, this is the Phoenix Volcano, and my Feng Clan lives not far from this area. In the north, you will meet the Snow Mountain, where the Xue Clan lives. If you go east, you will arrive at the Dragon Ocean, and the Long Clan lives in that area. In the west, you will find a vast wilderness, and the Liu Clan lives there."
"Where do the Sun and Xiao Clans live?"
"They live in the outer area of the central area with the Zhang, Qing, Chen, Cao, Song, and several other second-grade clans. Meanwhile, the Huang and Wang Clans live in the central area." Tang Xiao's clone looked at Feng Yao with surprise. "The Long Clan is the strongest clan, followed by the Wang and Huang Clans. After them are my Feng Clan, the Xue Clan, and the Liu Clan."
"So, how are you going to train me?"
"Impatient, aren't we?" Feng Yao walked to the edge of the lava and performed an action that surprised Tang Xiao's clone; many lava creatures then emerged from the lava and moved as if they were alive, following her commands. "For your first training, I want you to perfect your control over your fire element. You killed Du Zhong and He Yu using your fire element, but their deaths show that you still can't control it perfectly."
"I—"
Feng Yao interrupted him with a shake of her head. "Controlling an element isn't just about manipulating its shape, but you must control its power. Fire element often produces huge explosive power, and you will have problems if you can't control it. If you are surrounded by many enemies, and you kill one of them with such a huge explosive power, your other enemies will know your location. Remember, big is not necessarily deadly, but small can be deadly. Even if you use a small fire element, you can still kill your enemy as long as you control its power perfectly."
"Hmm?" Tang Xiao's clone rubbed his chin while contemplating Feng Yao's words, noting that he had never controlled his fire element power and always killed his enemies with almost full force.
Feng Yao looked at a lava lizard that was crawling on the wall; she shot a small fire towards the beast, leaving Tang Xiao's clone stunned. The lizard died from her single attack, but it didn't show any changes to its body. "See? You can barely feel my attacks, and the lizard is a fire beast, but I can kill it easily with just a small attack."
"Yeah." Feng Yao then did something else, forcing Tang Xiao's clone back. The lava suddenly surged upwards, forming a lava wave. "Holy shit! How could you do that? Is it because your cultivation is already at the Emperor Realm? If you asked me to do that now, I would probably only be able to control a tiny bit of it."
"Haha." Feng Yao softly laughed and let the lava fall into place. "Controlling elements do have something to do with cultivation, but it doesn't completely depend on our cultivation; instead, the main factor is our element rank and our understanding of the element. Unlike you, my fire rank has already reached level 9, so I'm only one level away from the peak."
Tang Xiao's clone raised an eyebrow. "How is it possible that your fire element has reached such a high level with your young age?"
"I'm flattered that you consider me young, even though I'm already in my forties." Feng Yao gave him a wink.
"Haha." Tang Xiao's clone laughed at that. "Even though you are already in your forties, you are no less beautiful than Yin'er and Xing'er. Aunt Yuan once told me that many men long for you to be their wife, but your criteria are too high, and you rejected them all."
Feng Yao simply smiled and looked around the area. "Unlike you who were born and raised in the outside world, I was born and grew up here. I've been training here since I was five years old, and I've often stayed here for months straight. Therefore, you don't need to be surprised if my fire element has reached a high level, and my understanding of it far surpasses many cultivators, including my parents."
"So, you want me to train here from now on?"
"Yes." Feng Yao nodded at him. "I'll leave you here, and I'll check on your progress every day. If I'm satisfied with your ability to control your fire element, I'll give you a second training method."
Tang Xiao's clone nodded determinedly. "The training here isn't as demanding as training under my master, so I can definitely get through it, and I'm confident I can control my fire element in no time."
"Words are useless without proof, so I'm waiting for your proof." Feng Yao then looked up. "You can leave this place if you like, but I don't recommend it since you don't know anything about Earth-II. If you go out when I'm not here, no one can save you if you encounter stronger enemies, and you might die at their hands."
Tang Xiao's clone was naturally aware of his limitations, and he wasn't so crazy as to go out without knowledge and experience. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, and I'll focus on training here."
"That's good." Feng Yao then walked back to the portal. "I'll be going now, and you can begin your training."
After Feng Yao left, Tang Xiao's clone immediately sat cross-legged a little distance from the lava, but Hun suddenly shared something in his mind. [Master, you can learn that technique first, and it will make it easier for you to control your fire element.]
"Alright." Tang Xiao's clone closed his eyes and began studying the technique. Once he fully understood it, he began to try controlling his fire element, starting with the lowest intensity and gradually increasing it.

Inside a restaurant, three women were eating together, but one of them kept looking at one of the two women in front of her. "Why do you keep looking at me like that, Big Sis Chen?"
"Hehe." Fu Chen giggled. "Xing'er, I still didn't expect you to become his second wife, but at least your dream of being with him has come true, so I have to congratulate you on that."
Xing Xing smiled at that. "Thank you, Big Sis Chen. Honestly, I was hesitant to accept him at first, but I loved him too much. I've waited too long for him, so I decided to accept him."
"That's true." Fu Chen nodded slightly. "Back then, I often saw you stalking him, but you never dared to approach him, let alone confess your feelings."
"Big Sis Chen, I'm not a stalker!" Xing Xing protested.
"Haha." Fu Chen burst into laughter. "Are you sure you're not a stalker? You've been following him from afar for a few years, remember? If I think about it, you probably understand him better than Yinyin."
"That's not possible." Xing Xing denied with a headshake. "They've been together since they were very little, and they live together in the same house, so Big Sis Yin understands him much better than I do. What about you? When will you find a husband? You're almost thirty now, but you've never had a boyfriend."
Fu Chen casually shrugged. "I'm single, but I'm happy. For now, I don't need a man by my side, and I can take care of myself, both materially and spiritually. Even so, I have a dream of becoming a wife and having several children with my future husband, but that won't happen anytime soon, and I will enjoy my life and achieve all my dreams first before I get married."
"If you wait too long, you may be too old when you get married, and you will have difficulty having children." Tang Yin softly spoke.
"Hey! We are cultivators, remember?" Fu Chen shook her head in response. "In fact, my master is already a hundred years old, but she only became a mother five years ago. Therefore, I don't think too much about my age, and I will get married and have children once I'm truly ready for it. Unlike me, you two are his wives now, so you can already think about giving birth to some children for him."
Xing Xing was stunned for a moment before lowering her face in shame, but she harbored the hope of having a child with Tang Xiao as soon as possible.
Tang Yin, on the other hand, shook her head. "Naturally, I want to have a child with my husband as soon as possible, but as you already know, we still have many problems at hand. Therefore, we don't want to have children now, and we'll wait until our lives are truly settled."
"I see." Fu Chen then questioned them. "How does it feel to have sex with him? Have you ever had a threesome with him?"
"Big Sis Chen!" Xing Xing exclaimed softly.
"Sex with him is never boring, and we always enjoy our sex." Tang Yin turned to Xing Xing. "Would you like to try it, Xing'er? Honestly, I'm interested in trying a threesome with him, but I don't know if you're willing to do it."
"Huh?" Xing Xing looked at her dumbfounded. "Do you really want to do that?"
