Chapter 1080: Test of Wang Mengbin (No more today, watch my performance on Saturday and Sunday)

After chatting for over an hour, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan left Golden Dragon Island and returned to Azure Dragon Island.

Upon arriving at Azure Dragon Island, they immediately summoned Wang Qingling and others.

"Qingling, take some clan members back to the Red Moon Sea Area and relocate three hundred cultivators here. Try to select those who are not yet married. Qiu Ming, take some people back to the Eastern Wasteland and have Qing Jun relocate one hundred clan members to the South Sea. There's no need to move the mortals for now."

The number of mortals could not be too small, but if there were too many, the cost of teleportation would be astronomical. Wang Changsheng planned to first relocate a portion of the clan members to the Five Dragon Sea Area. Mortals' bodies might not withstand the spatial forces generated by teleportation, so they would need to be transported by flying magic treasures.

"Oh, and Qiu Ming," Wang Ruyan added, taking out a blue token and handing it to Wang Qiuming. "Personally go to the Wei Kingdom, bring ten members of my family, and send them all to the South Sea. Tell the head of my family that it is my order. This is my family's token." She had promised Wang Huashan to cultivate a Core Formation cultivator for her family. For the current Wang clan, cultivating a Core Formation cultivator from another family was not a significant issue.

"Qiu Ming, relocate thirty cultivators from my family here."

Out of consideration for Wang Ruyan, Wang Changsheng could cultivate two cultivators from her family into Core Formation cultivators. Of course, they would have to marry into the Wang clan and work for the Wang clan.

Three strongholds of the Wang clan had been attacked, and Green Lotus Mountain had been deserted ever since. Over a hundred years had passed. The Zhao family, in-laws of the Wang clan, had long vanished into the annals of history. Wang Huashan had split his family, with members of her family residing in two different countries and joining two sects, which was how their bloodline had been preserved.

Besides the Zhao family, other in-law families had either suffered a significant decline in power or been annexed by other forces. Only Wang Ruyan's family fared somewhat better.

"Yes, Grandfather, Grandmother," Wang Qiuming nodded in agreement and put away the blue token.

Wang Qingling and Wang Qiuming departed with some clan members. The journey was long; a round trip would take several years. They had to leave immediately.

Wang Changsheng looked at Wang Youwei and asked, "Youwei, is your father-in-law on Azure Dragon Island? If he is, have him come over. The Xue family's territory has just been allocated to our Wang clan. We don't have enough manpower and need the help of local experts like the Xue family."

It would take several years for Wang Qingling and Wang Qiuming to relocate the clan members. For the Wang clan to control the territory, they would need the help of local powers, at least for now. Not to mention, establishing a large market required a significant amount of manpower.

"Ancestor, my father-in-law is in the market district," Wang Youwei said. "Your grandson will contact him immediately and have him come over right away."

Wang Youwei did not dare to delay and immediately took out a communication disc to contact his father-in-law.

Less than fifteen minutes later, an old man in his early seventies, dressed in a green robe, walked in briskly. The old man had small, shrewd-looking eyes and a goatee.

The green-robed old man took a deep breath, walked quickly to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, bowed deeply, and said, "This junior, Xue Qingshan, pays his respects to Senior Wang and Senior Wang."

His expression was somewhat tense. It was his first time speaking to Nascent Soul cultivators at such close proximity, not to mention that the people standing before him were not ordinary individuals, but the renowned Azure Lotus Immortal Couple.

Their formation of Nascent Soul had triggered unusual phenomena, and they had participated in battles, consecutively slaying multiple Nascent Soul-stage foreign cultivators, making their names known throughout the South Sea.

How could Xue Qingshan dare to be negligent? He was afraid of doing anything wrong and offending the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple. One should know that after the Xue family's old ancestor perished, the Xue family had no more Core Formation cultivators. The Xue family's adversaries were restless and eager to act. If he hadn't married his two daughters to Wang Youwei as concubines, thereby leveraging the reputation of the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple, the Xue family would probably have been annihilated.

"Your name is Xue Qingshan?"

Wang Changsheng asked casually, noting that Xue Qingshan's name differed from Wang Qingshan's by only one character.

Xue Qingshan was slightly startled, his expression tightening, and said, "This junior is indeed Xue Qingshan. I would never dare to deceive Senior Wang."

"The Xue family's territory has already been allocated to our Wang clan. From now on, your Xue family will be a vassal of our Wang clan. Serve us well, and we will not mistreat our own people. Of course, those who oppose us will not come to a good end."

Xue Qingshan shivered, immediately knelt down, and respectfully said, "This junior – no, our Xue family will henceforth follow the Wang clan's lead, facing any danger, no matter how great. Our Xue family possesses a valuable treasure that we are willing to offer to Senior Wang."

He took out a square token, about a foot long, and presented it with both hands to Wang Changsheng.

The front of the green token was engraved with two large golden characters: "Five Dragons." The back featured a lifelike miniature flood dragon. The green token's spiritual light shimmered erratically.

"Senior Wang, this is the Azure Dragon Token, one of the Five Dragon Tokens, used to open the Five Dragon Secret Realm. The Five Dragon Secret Realm is a Profound-grade secret realm controlled by the Five Dragon Palace, where cultivators below the Core Formation stage can enter to seek treasures. The Five Dragon Palace was a major cultivation sect over ten thousand years ago, but it has since vanished into the annals of history. Gathering the five tokens—Azure Dragon, Red Dragon, Golden Dragon, Water Dragon, and Earth Dragon—allows one to open the Five Dragon Secret Realm and search for treasures within. According to our Xue family's historical records, the Five Dragon Secret Realm has not been opened for over a thousand years."

"If the Five Dragon Tokens cannot be fully gathered, is it impossible to open the Profound-grade secret realm?" Wang Ruyan asked curiously. The Wang clan had a Yellow-grade secret realm, which five Core Formation cultivators could open. This Five Dragon Secret Realm was a Profound-grade secret realm, meaning its cultivation resources should be even more valuable.

"Not necessarily. The last time the Five Dragon Secret Realm was opened, only four tokens were gathered. Nascent Soul cultivators used great divine abilities to forcefully open a breach, and some people brought out thousand-year-old spiritual medicines and exotic beasts. Our Xue family's rival, Fiery Hawk Island, might possess the Golden Dragon Token."

"Might? Are you trying to use us to destroy Fiery Hawk Island? Do you think we're easily fooled?" Wang Changsheng's expression turned cold, and he sneered.

He had already sent people to investigate. Fiery Hawk Island was a cultivation sect with two Core Formation cultivators; one had died in battle on the front lines, and there was one newly ascended Core Formation cultivator. Fiery Hawk Island did not belong to the Wang clan's territory but rather to the Lu family's territory.

If the Wang clan were to directly attack and destroy Fiery Hawk Island, it would be a provocation against the Lu family. Wang Changsheng certainly would not do such a foolish thing.

"This junior wouldn't dare! Even if I had a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't think such a thing!" Xue Qingshan was scared out of his wits and immediately kowtowed, begging for mercy, with snot running down his face.

"Father-in-law, you are my father-in-law, and you dare to treat the Ancestor like a three-year-old child. Don't blame me for putting righteousness before family." Wang Youwei said with a cold face. Xue Qingshan was truly foolish to try to deceive Wang Changsheng with such a matter.

"Considering you are Youwei's father-in-law, we'll let this pass for now. Next time, you won't be let off so easily."

Xue Qingshan repeatedly assented, letting out a long breath and breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Mengbin, go with him to Fiery Hawk Island. I hear the Fiery Hawk Island Master has considerable divine abilities. Haven't you always wanted to spar with other fellow cultivators? Go and have a match with him." Wang Changsheng instructed Wang Mengbin. He wanted to use this opportunity to temper Wang Mengbin. He didn't say how to do it, nor did he specify what he wanted.

"Yes, Ancestor. Little friend Xue, please lead the way!" Wang Mengbin agreed and instructed Xue Qingshan.

Wang Mengbin clearly understood that Wang Changsheng wanted the Golden Dragon Token.

Xue Qingshan quickly stood up and led the way for Wang Mengbin.

"Husband, Mengbin cultivates lightning-attribute cultivation techniques, which are very powerful. You should still caution him! Don't let him harm the Fiery Hawk Island Master's life, or things will be difficult to handle," Wang Ruyan said with some concern.

Wang Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "I just want to see how Mengbin handles this matter. Even if he truly kills the Fiery Hawk Island Master, we will support him. For the clan to be passed down, it relies on Mengbin and the other clan members."

If Wang Mengbin truly killed the Fiery Hawk Island Master, Wang Changsheng would be very disappointed. This was a test for Wang Mengbin.
