After his six wives finished greeting him, they all turned and left.
"Long Yu, you have good taste. You found six beautiful wives after coming to the immortal realm," Zhou Hong said with a laugh.
"Your taste is not bad either. In your sub-world, which of your women would be subpar?"
"That's true." Zhou Hong didn't humble himself; his wives were not inferior to Long Yu's, just different in their own ways.
"By the way, Long Yu, you mentioned earlier, before we came in, that you needed my help with something. What is it?" Zhou Hong asked with some confusion.
"It's like this, I want to go to the mortal realm."
"To the mortal realm?"
"Yes, my wives from Earth and the mortal realm are still waiting for me there. It's been over a hundred years since I ascended, and I don't know how they are doing down there."
Zhou Hong smiled, "That's a good thing. After so long, you should indeed bring them up."
"Yes, I don't even know if they've had any trouble in the past hundred years. More perplexing is that none of my relatives have ascended in all this time. Of course, they might have ascended to other places. That's why I urgently need to go to the mortal realm."
"If there's anything I can help with, please don't hesitate to ask." Zhou Hong seemed to know what Long Yu was going to ask for help with, as traveling to the mortal realm wasn't easy, especially with the intention of bringing many people back.
"It's like this, it's very difficult for me to go down there. Even if I succeed, I might not be able to return. Therefore, I need someone to provide support from above. I've thought about it, and I don't trust anyone else."
"Haha, I thought it was something major. It's just a small matter. When do you plan to go down?"
"No rush, it's not like we're pressed for a few days. Since you're here, you must have a good drink with me."
Zhou Hong shook his head, "There will be plenty of time later. For now, help me find a quiet place. I want to go into seclusion for a few days. You can use this time to reunite with your mother."
"This...!"
"If we're brothers, don't be so formal. Besides, I really need to find a place to cultivate right now, otherwise, I fear I won't be able to handle it if the Queen Mother's people come."
"Okay."
Long Yu immediately gave orders to find a quiet place for Zhou Hong, and he could also use this time to reunite with his mother.
Zhou Hong didn't waste any time. He needed to upgrade his Ten Thousand Puppet Sword Array quickly. If another Immortal Emperor came, Zhou Hong feared he wouldn't be able to withstand it. If two came, he wouldn't survive.
"Grandfather, do you have any good ideas?" Zhou Hong entered his sub-world and looked at his grandfather.
"There is one, but I'm not sure if it will work. Theoretically, it should."
"Quickly tell me, Grandfather."
"That is, as your main body's strength increases, the power of your Ten Thousand Puppet Sword Array will also increase. So, focus on improving your own strength first."
"Ah, how could I forget this? I was so focused on improving the moves of the Puppet Sword Array that I didn't think about increasing my own strength." Zhou Hong couldn't help but pat his head; he was too foolish.
"Yes, improving the moves of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sword Array is too difficult. It's much faster to improve your own strength. If you can reach the Demon King realm now, the power of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sword Array will surely increase significantly."
"Of course, if you have time, it's also best to improve the moves of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sword Array. That would be an extra layer of insurance."
"Alright. I'll take out that Primordial Chaos Immortal Medicine now and absorb and digest it. Let's see if I can reach the Demon King realm in one go." Su Dan Novel Network
"Okay, I'll help you think about how to improve the moves of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sword Array as well."
Zhou Hong and his grandfather seemed to be dividing the labor.
Zhou Hong began to cultivate his realm. He took out the Primordial Chaos Immortal Medicine, directly consumed it, and then began to absorb and digest it.
At this moment, Zhou Hong was in a safe zone found by Long Yu, so he wasn't afraid of any external disturbances. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to hide in his sub-world.
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.
Zhou Hong suddenly opened his eyes.
"Primordial Chaos Immortal Medicine is truly miraculous. In just three days of absorption, I've already reached the first-grade Demon King." Zhou Hong grinned.
In just three days, the effect of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Medicine had not been fully absorbed; Zhou Hong had only absorbed one-third of it. He expected to break through several more stages after fully absorbing it.
Zhou Hong's grandfather also appeared instantly and said to Zhou Hong, "I've also made some progress."
"Grandfather, have you thought of a way to upgrade the moves of the Puppet Sword Array?"
Zhou Hong's grandfather smiled and said, "Zhou Hong, your current Ten Thousand Puppet Sword Array is too large due to the sheer number of puppets, which makes its movement very slow. Before, if it weren't for the sub-world allowing for preparation, it would have been difficult to even utilize it, as the enemy wouldn't give you time to form the sword array. So, I'm approaching it from this angle, making the Ten Thousand Puppet Sword Array more agile."
"Grandfather makes sense, please continue."
"My method is to turn these one hundred thousand puppets into eight individuals."
"Eight? Wouldn't that become the original Eight Immortals Sword Array, going backward?"
"Hahaha, you're wrong. It started with the Eight Immortals Sword Array, and then accumulated to the Ten Thousand Puppet Sword Array. But now, after reaching the peak, we're going to scale it back, condensing these one hundred thousand puppets into eight. This way, the movement will be extremely swift."
"But how do we condense one hundred thousand puppets into eight?"
"Zhou Hong, don't forget, we are currently in your sub-world. In your sub-world, you are like a god. Rearranging one hundred thousand puppets into eight is entirely up to you."
"Aha!" Zhou Hong's eyes suddenly lit up with understanding.
"Grandfather, you are truly intelligent."
"No, with a little more time, you would have figured it out too."
"Then let's not delay." Without a word, Zhou Hong summoned all one hundred thousand puppets before him.
In the next second, Zhou Hong personally began the crafting process, dividing the one hundred thousand puppets into eight portions, with each portion containing 12,500 puppets.
Then, he stacked the 12,500 puppets together. This stacking was not a simple physical stacking, but rather the merging of two bodies. In this way, 12,500 puppets were forcefully merged into one body by Zhou Hong.
However, with the souls of 12,500 puppets packed into one body, the body began to swell. This resulted in each merged puppet body reaching a height of over ten meters.
They had effectively become giant puppet behemoths.
