Five Dragons Sea, Qinglian Island.
In the main hall, Wang Qingshan sat in the principal seat, while Wang Mengbin reported something to him.
Wang Mengbin had already cultivated to the seventh layer of Core Formation, and his cultivation speed was not slow. This time, he returned to Qinglian Island intending to hand over his clan duties and travel, as he had encountered a bottleneck.
The increasing number of Core Formation cultivators in the Wang family significantly alleviated their pressure. When encountering a bottleneck, Wang family cultivators could travel abroad after handing over their clan duties.
The family's influence spread far and wide, providing great convenience to family members who traveled.
"The Central Plains cultivation world has been quite tumultuous in recent years, and the Eastern Barrens are too barren. Our strength in the Northern Frontier isn't strong, so you should travel in the Southern Sea cultivation world!" Wang Qingshan advised.
Wang Mengbin shook his head and said seriously, "Grand Ancestor, I plan to go to the Northern Frontier to investigate the culprits who destroyed three of our family's strongholds, and also to resolve a heart demon."
He was born in Taoshan, Yuyao Nation, and his parents and siblings also perished in that attack. If he were to attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, this matter would become his heart demon.
"Your cultivation is too low; it would be troublesome if the enemy discovered you. How about this! You stay on Qinglian Island for now; I also plan to travel in the Northern Frontier cultivation world, so you can come with me!"
When Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingshan, and Wang Mingren attempted to reach the Nascent Soul stage, the attack on the three family strongholds became their heart demons. This incident cast a shadow over the Wang family; as long as it remained unresolved, the Wang family would not only live in fear but also find it difficult for family members to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
For family members who grew up in the Southern Sea, such as Wang Youwei and Wang Jiyun, this incident might not become their heart demon if they attempted to reach the Nascent Soul stage. However, for those who grew up in Qinglian Manor from a young age, like Wang Qingjing, Wang Qiuming, and Wang Qiuxin, this matter could easily become a heart demon.
Before departing, Wang Qingshan needed to inform Wang Changsheng. He wasn't entirely clear about Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's experiences in the Northern Frontier, and if he were to investigate this matter, he naturally wouldn't use their methods.
"Yes, Grand Ancestor," Wang Mengbin readily agreed. Having Wang Qingshan accompany him would naturally make it safer.
"Oh? Where are you two off to?" A rather hearty voice suddenly rang out. As soon as the words fell, Wang Changsheng strode in.
"Uncle Nine, you're back." Wang Qingshan's eyes lit up with joy upon seeing Wang Changsheng, and he quickly stood up. Wang Mengbin also hastily bowed.
Wang Changsheng waved his hand and said, "We're family; no need for formalities. Where are you going?"
Wang Qingshan explained the situation. He suddenly remembered something, took out a cyan jade box, and handed it to Wang Changsheng, saying, "Uncle Nine, I've acquired a few items that you might find useful."
"Qingshan, you're very thoughtful. The situation in the Northern Frontier cultivation world is quite complex, so you must be extremely careful. Let's discuss this after I've refined the Azure Glaze Sword. There's no rush."
Wang Qingshan possessed a set of flying sword magical treasures refined from millennia-old Glazed Bamboo, which would significantly enhance his strength.
After a brief chat, Wang Changsheng returned to Qinglian Peak.
He took out the jade box Wang Qingshan had given him. Besides two drops of One-Yuan Heavy Water, it also contained a bottle of diluted Dragon Essence Elixir.
He uncorked the bottle, and a deafening dragon roar echoed. A foot-long mini flood dragon flew out; it was entirely blue and emitted a peculiar fragrance.
"Dragon Essence Elixir! If only it weren't diluted." Wang Changsheng's gaze was fiery as he stared intently at the mini flood dragon.
Dragon Essence Elixir was one of the best body-tempering spiritual materials, extremely rare and hard to come by. Refining this Dragon Essence Elixir would make his physical body even stronger.
He formed a hand seal, and specks of blue light appeared around him, transforming into profound blue runes. The mini flood dragon suddenly flew towards Wang Changsheng, entering his mouth and disappearing.
His face quickly flushed crimson, and his qi and blood surged within him. A massive energy coursed wildly throughout his body.
Wang Changsheng quickly circulated his cultivation to refine this immense energy, guiding it to circulate within his body. A series of cracking sounds of bones echoed. His muscles bulged, veins protruded, and blood vessels under his skin were clearly visible. His features twisted as if he were enduring unbearable pain.
Fortunately, he had advanced to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. If he were still in the early Nascent Soul stage, he might not have been able to withstand this energy.
In a certain vast expanse of the Five Dragons Sea, dozens of cyan lotus flowers appeared on the horizon, swiftly flying towards this location.
Wang Huaxu stood on a cyan lotus pedestal, his expression calm.
The conflict had settled down. He and Wang Rongting had been ordered to purchase some cultivation resources on Five Dragons Island and were now on their way back.
After the demon race retreated, the human race established a large island, Five Dragons Island, at the border, serving as the frontline against the demons. Five Dragons Island was also the largest market in the Five Dragons Sea; even within the Southern Sea cultivation world, it was one of the largest and most prominent markets, rich in cultivation resources. Due to its location at the border, high-level demon beasts were also relatively common.
A piercing shriek suddenly echoed from high in the sky. A group of dark figures appeared high above, rapidly assaulting Wang Huaxu and his companions.
"You all stay here and wait for me; I'll be right back," Wang Huaxu instructed. A vibrant green light emanated from his body, and a swirling cyan hurricane appeared around him, protecting his entire being.
He suddenly transformed into a cyan tornado over a hundred zhang tall, striking towards the dark figures. A whooshing sound pierced the air, and a large barrage of cyan wind blades shot out, heading straight for the dark figures.
A sharp shriek rang out, and a large expanse of gray wind blades descended from the sky. They collided with the cyan wind blades, erupting in a deafening roar. The whistling intensified. The cyan tornado rapidly expanded in size, its speed increasing severalfold, instantly engulfing dozens of dark figures.
A moment later, with a flash of cyan light, the cyan tornado transformed back into Wang Huaxu's figure. In his hand, he held a gray demon core the size of a dragon's eye, still stained with some blood. With a flick of his palm, the demon core vanished.
Just then, a rumbling sound echoed in the void. Ripples like water waves spread across the void, and Wang Huaxu's expression subtly changed as he transformed into a wisp of clear wind and retreated.
Accompanied by a deafening muffled thunder, a vortex over a hundred zhang wide appeared in the void. A glittering golden colossal pagoda slowly flew out from the vortex. Its body was carved with numerous exquisite patterns, and the two characters "Zhen Xian" (Immortal Suppressor) appeared faintly.
"The Immortal Suppressor Pagoda! The Immortal Suppressor Pagoda has appeared, and it's in the Five Dragons Sea! I must immediately return and inform the Grand Ancestor."
Wang Huaxu was somewhat excited. Legends of the Immortal Suppressor Pagoda had long circulated in the Southern Sea cultivation world. The Wang family had collected many Immortal Suppressor Tokens. This time, the Immortal Suppressor Pagoda appearing in the Five Dragons Sea meant that the Wang family's opportune moment had arrived, and his own as well. If he could challenge the pagoda, that would be for the best.
"I'll go ahead. You all return to Five Dragons Island first and gather intelligence," Wang Huaxu gave a quick instruction, transformed into a cyan tornado over a hundred zhang tall, and rushed into the distance.
He needed to return to the family as quickly as possible to inform Wang Qingshan and the others. The Immortal Suppressor Pagoda had a time limit each time it appeared and would vanish once the time was up. Without an Immortal Suppressor Token, one could not enter the Immortal Suppressor Pagoda at all.
Wang Rongting led the others towards Five Dragons Island, their speed relatively slower.
Several days later, news of the Immortal Suppressor Pagoda's appearance in the Five Dragons Sea spread rapidly. Powers near the Five Dragons Sea, upon receiving the news, rushed to the area with their Immortal Suppressor Tokens.
