Chapter 1764: Immortal Suppression Tower Appears

A year later, Wang Changsheng emerged from the secret chamber with a faint smile on his face.

He had refined the eyes of a fifth-order demonic beast into a spirit treasure, the Soul-Snatching Pearl. This pearl could make enemies fall into illusions and also be used to control lower-level cultivators. He wouldn't have been able to refine it if he hadn't obtained the eyes of a descendant of the Crying Beast.

Besides the Soul-Snatching Pearl, Wang Changsheng also refined a set of spirit treasures, the Sea-Burning Banners. Refining a set of spirit treasures was quite difficult; limited by the available crafting materials and his refining skill, Wang Changsheng only managed to refine three Sea-Burning Banners. The more spirit treasures in a set, the greater its power.

This was already quite good. Wang Changsheng planned to keep the Sea-Burning Banners as a family heirloom, and they could also be used by clan members to challenge the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda.

Wang Changsheng arrived at the Cloud Sea Palace, took out his communication disk to contact Wang Qingshan and others, and asked them to come over.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Qingshan and the others arrived at the Cloud Sea Palace. Murong Yuyao was not present.

"My husband," Wang Ruyan said with a smile, "there are still many good things in the Heavenly Grade Secret Realm, mostly crafting materials. We obtained three kinds of ten-thousand-year spirit wood. Oh, and there's also a Multi-Treasure Gourd plant. The Wood Demon transplanted it, and it can still be cultivated." Generally, gourd vines are single-attribute materials, and the gourds that grow from them usually have a single attribute. However, there are exceptions; some gourd vines mutate during their growth, producing gourds with multiple attributes. This situation is extremely rare.

While Wang Changsheng was refining treasures, Wang Ruyan and the others worked together to open a breach. They first had Wang Xin thoroughly explore the Heavenly Grade Secret Realm. After confirming there were no fifth-order demonic beasts, Wang Ruyan and the others entered. The fourth-order demonic beasts in the Heavenly Grade Secret Realm had mostly been consumed by the fifth-order ones, so there weren't many left, and they were no match for Wang Qingshan and the others.

They had plundered many good things from the Heavenly Grade Secret Realm, including a large number of spirit fruits and herbs to aid in Core Formation and Nascent Soul breakthroughs, as well as plenty of crafting materials. There were three kinds of ten-thousand-year spirit wood, with the Multi-Treasure Gourd being the most precious. That Primordial Magnetic Mountain had already nurtured a Primordial Magnetic Crystal, which they had also retrieved. It could be used to refine a powerful treasure.

"A Multi-Treasure Gourd!" Wang Changsheng was a bit surprised. This was an excellent material for refining a set of spirit treasures.

Wang Ruyan flipped her delicate hand, and a dazzling spiritual light swept forth. After a while, the spiritual light dissipated, and a completely green gourd vine appeared on the ground. Five gourds of different colors hung on the green gourd vine, each emitting spiritual energy fluctuations of a different attribute.

"Ninth Uncle," Wang Qingshan said, "we also obtained three kinds of ten-thousand-year spirit wood. Among them is a Golden Magnet Spirit Wood. We expended a lot of effort to bring back a piece of it." As Wang Qingshan spoke, he took out a piece of light golden spirit wood. The wood shimmered with golden light, resembling gold.

"Golden Magnet Spirit Wood!" A flicker of surprise appeared in Wang Changsheng's eyes. This was an extremely rare spirit wood. It was said that Golden Magnet Spirit Wood naturally possessed a magnetic field and could emit magnetic force. In ancient times, it was typically used to set up powerful formations. Except for body cultivators and certain demonic beasts, ordinary demonic beasts simply couldn't withstand it.

"Murong Daoist Fellow told me," Wang Ruyan said, "that the Murong family's family heirloom, the Seven-Star Demonic Beast Refining Pagoda, was refined using Golden Magnet Spirit Wood. It restrains gold-attributed magic treasures; any magic treasure incorporating metal ores will be suppressed by it. It's also good for setting up formations. The only problem is that it's very difficult to extract a piece of Golden Magnet Spirit Wood."

"Only one piece of Golden Magnet Spirit Wood? Are there no seeds?" Wang Changsheng frowned, thinking that using Golden Magnet Spirit Wood to set up a clan-protecting grand formation could effectively defend against enemy attacks.

"We got the seeds," Wang Ruyan explained, "but it will take many years for them to mature. That ten-thousand-year Golden Magnet Spirit Wood is enough for us; refining several sets of formations won't be an issue." Wang Ruyan explained that Golden Magnet Spirit Wood was difficult to cultivate, but once successfully grown, its utility would be greater than that of spirit treasures. Spirit treasures can be damaged and even destroyed, but formations are different. The Dugu family, one of the top ten immortal cultivation families in the South Sea, escaped disaster thanks to their clan-protecting grand formation. This is the advantage of a clan-protecting grand formation; a good one can protect a family for many years, whereas a damaged spirit treasure is useless.

"Yes, Uncle!" Ye Haitang said excitedly. "I know a fifth-order formation, the Golden Magnet Divine Light Spirit Extermination Formation. With this formation, a Nascent Soul cultivator can contend with a Deity Transformation cultivator and hold their own for several moves. If this formation is set up as a clan-protecting grand formation, the family can repel enemies beyond Qinglian Island in times of crisis. However, it requires a large amount of Golden Magnet Spirit Wood, at least a thousand years old."

Wang Changsheng nodded thoughtfully. Since they had obtained the seeds, even though it would take a thousand years for the clan-protecting grand formation to reach its full combat potential, it was a matter of blessing future generations, and it had to be done.

Besides the Golden Magnet Spirit Wood, there were also two other kinds of ten-thousand-year spirit wood: Golden Thunder Wood and Azure Sun Wood. Golden Thunder Wood could be used to refine thunder-attributed spirit treasures, and Azure Sun Wood could be used to refine defensive spirit treasures. The only drawback was that they hadn't found any three-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, though they had obtained many other crafting materials.

"Oh, right," Wang Changsheng asked, "has the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda opened yet?" He had high hopes for it.

Wang Ruyan shook her head and said, "Not yet. I've already given orders; we have people in various sea regions. As soon as the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda appears, our people will discover it quickly."

The Wang family was now strong and prosperous. Leveraging the news of Wang Changsheng's advancement to the Deity Transformation stage, the Wang family had absorbed many smaller forces, primarily for intelligence gathering.

Wang Qiuxin frowned slightly, took out a light golden communication disk from his sleeve, and sent a magic spell into it. A voice, filled with both surprise and joy, suddenly rang out: "Section Head, the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda has appeared! It's in the Coral Sea Region."

As soon as these words fell, all the cultivators were extremely excited. The Coral Sea Region was far from the Five-Dragon Sea Region, but the Wang family had flying spirit treasures and large-scale teleportation arrays, so they should be able to make it in time.

"We will set off immediately to return to the family," Wang Changsheng ordered. "Qingshan, Qingling, you two immediately head to the Coral Sea Region to investigate the situation of the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda." Wang Changsheng instructed, noting that Wang Qingshan, Ye Haitang, and he himself all possessed flying spirit treasures, which made traveling much faster.

"Yes, Ninth Uncle, we'll head there right away," Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingling replied in unison. The appearance of the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda this time was an opportunity for the Wang family, and they had to seize it.

After giving his instructions, Wang Changsheng and the others split into two groups, heading towards the Five-Dragon Sea Region and the Coral Sea Region respectively.

In the Coral Sea Region, a giant pagoda, continuously shimmering with spiritual light, floated high in the sky, emitting dazzling spiritual radiance. The three large characters "Immortal Suppressing Pagoda" were clearly visible on its body.

A streak of escape light flew from afar. Before long, it stopped, revealing a burly, one-armed man. It was Liu Wuya. During his trip to the Five-Dragon Secret Realm, he had been forced into a conflict, and his Dao companion had died at the hands of Wang Youwei. He had turned misfortune into fortune, obtaining the true inheritance of the Five-Dragon Palace and a large sum of cultivation resources. His cultivation had advanced rapidly, currently at the ninth layer of Core Formation. Unfortunately, without a spirit item for Nascent Soul breakthrough, he couldn't attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage. The appearance of the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda this time was his opportunity.
