Chapter 1771: Zhenhai Mysterious Water Order

Tens of thousands of miles away, a golden light illuminated a part of the void, and Wang Jiyun tumbled out of it. She raised her right hand, and a streak of blue light shot forth, soaring high into the sky before bursting open, transforming into an enormous blue lotus flower, shimmering with spiritual light.

A moment later, a white light flew from the distance; it was the Qianlight Shadow Shuttle, with Wang Qingshan standing atop it.

"Jiyun, are you alright!"

Concern filled Wang Qingshan's face.

"Thank you for your concern, Elder Ancestor, I'm fine."

Wang Jiyun's voice was somewhat weak as she flew onto the Qianlight Shadow Shuttle.

With a flash of spiritual light, the Qianlight Shadow Shuttle soared skyward at high speed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Qingshan brought Wang Jiyun back to Wang Changsheng's side.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Jiyun, Wang Qingshan, and Wang Changjie entered the Blazing Sun Palace. The palace gates closed tightly, shimmering with spiritual light.

"How was it? Could you exchange for a Heavenly Spirit Treasure?"

Wang Changsheng's face was filled with anticipation. He had given Wang Jiyun a Nethermoon Pearl, and if it couldn't be exchanged for a Heavenly Spirit Treasure, there would be no need to offer another one.

"No, her standards are very high. She doesn't seem to value the Nethermoon Pearl much."

Wang Jiyun truthfully recounted her conversation with the artifact spirit, without omitting a single detail.

"Elder Ancestor, these are the items I obtained from the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda."

Wang Jiyun took out three materials. Wang Changsheng had promised that as long as she cleared the thirty-fifth floor, she would become a key cultivation target for the family and would definitely advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Void Moon Divine Crystal! Fifth-tier Dragon Essence!"

Wang Changsheng exclaimed in surprise. The Dugu Family and the Zhenhai Sect could hide their islands beneath the sea precisely because they possessed Void Moon Divine Crystals. With such a treasure, the family could avert a major calamity, effectively providing the Wang family with a protective talisman. Not to mention the fifth-tier Dragon Essence; Wang Changsheng could consume it to strengthen his physical body. This was the true essence left behind by a fifth-tier flood dragon, and its effects would certainly be excellent.

"And a complete set of Spirit Annihilation Needles, a spirit treasure. Not a bad haul."

Wang Jiyun said with a smile. It wasn't that she was selfless, but rather that she had handed over so many precious materials and was sure to obtain many good things for clearing the thirty-fifth floor.

"Excellent, Jiyun. After returning to the family, I guarantee you will definitely advance to the Nascent Soul stage. If conditions permit, I will forge a set of spirit-treasure-grade flying swords for you."

Wang Changsheng promised this, as Wang Jiyun's performance was excellent. The three materials she obtained were all valuable, especially the complete set of Spirit Annihilation Needles, a spirit treasure, which could enhance Wang Changsheng's strength.

There are nine Spirit Annihilation Needles in total, glowing with blue light. Their number was even greater than the Ocean Burning Flags forged by Wang Changsheng, making them an absolutely sinister weapon.

When the Spirit Annihilation Needles are used with the Qianlan Cold Qi, they would undoubtedly catch opponents off guard.

"Thank you, Elder Ancestor."

Wang Jiyun's expression was filled with excitement.

"All right, Qingshan, take her to rest! I have something to discuss with Changjie."

Wang Changsheng instructed.

Wang Qingshan acknowledged and left with Wang Jiyun.

Wang Changsheng took out the Zhenhai Token, a hint of reluctance on his face, and said to Wang Changjie: "Show this token to the artifact spirit and see how she reacts. Hand over the Ocean Burning Flags; hopefully, they can be exchanged for a Heavenly Spirit Treasure. Remember, don't be impulsive and act within your capabilities. Throughout history, many talented individuals have died in the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda, so don't be reckless."

The Zhenhai Token was a potent defensive treasure. If he wasn't mistaken, the ancestors of the Zhenhai Sect must have established an immortal cultivation sect in the Spirit Realm, and the Zhenhai Token was its token. If the artifact spirit truly fell from the Spirit Realm, he might be able to exchange for a Heavenly Spirit Treasure. Of course, he was only asking Wang Changjie to show the Zhenhai Token to the artifact spirit, not to actually surrender it.

"Understood."

Wang Changjie agreed. He took out the Immortal Suppressing Token, injected spiritual power into it, and a dazzling spiritual light swept out, engulfing his figure.

He felt a blur before his eyes and suddenly appeared inside a spacious and brightly lit grand hall. A golden-robed girl stood not far away; it was the artifact spirit.

Wang Changjie took out a set of Spirit Treasure Ocean Burning Flags, a fourth-tier puppet beast, three pieces of ten-thousand-year spiritual wood, and a Nethermoon Pearl, then asked: "If I clear the thirty-fifth floor, can I obtain a Heavenly Spirit Treasure?"

The artifact spirit shook her head, her tone indifferent: "No, Heavenly Spirit Treasures don't grow on trees."

These items were not even worth her notice. She could forge Heavenly Spirit Treasures, and whether to bestow one or not was entirely up to her. Did he want fairness? One only got fairness if their strength surpassed hers.

Wang Changjie's brows furrowed. The Wang family had gone all out, yet they still couldn't obtain a Heavenly Spirit Treasure. Was the artifact spirit's standard truly that high?

He took out the Zhenhai Token and cautiously asked, "Do you recognize this item?"

"The Profound Water Zhenhai Token! Where did you get that?"

The artifact spirit exclaimed, her face filled with disbelief.

"You recognize this item?"

Wang Changjie's brows furrowed. He didn't know the origin of the Zhenhai Token, but judging by Wang Changsheng's attitude, this item was very important.

"Tell me, where did you get this? Otherwise, I'll destroy you immediately."

The golden-robed girl's expression turned cold, and a powerful spiritual pressure surged from her body.

Wang Changjie felt as if a mountain weighing a million jin had been placed on his shoulders. His legs gave out, and he knelt down, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood.

Before he could react, the golden-robed girl suddenly appeared before him, and a gentle golden light flew from her hand, enveloping Wang Changjie's entire body.

After a moment, the golden light dissipated, and Wang Changjie fell unconscious.

"True Lord Taihao, Wang Changsheng, Green Lotus Island... He's actually a clansman of the Green Lotus Immortal Couple? Could it be that this Wang Changsheng, like me, escaped from the Spirit Realm?"

The artifact spirit muttered to herself, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.

She picked up the Zhenhai Token that had fallen to the ground, mumbling to herself: "The Profound Water Zhenhai Token. This is Old Ghost Lin of Zhenhai Palace's unique secret treasure. How did it end up on a mere junior at the God Transformation stage in the Lower Realm?"

She flicked her sleeve towards Wang Changjie, and a pale golden pill flew out, disappearing into Wang Changjie's mouth.

After a moment, Wang Changjie regained consciousness.

"I can give you a Heavenly Spirit Treasure. Take the Profound Water Zhenhai Token and leave. Help me deliver a message to your clan brother: tell him to stay here a bit longer for now, as I have something to say to him. Don't tell anyone else about this, understood?"

The artifact spirit's tone was icy.

Wang Changjie was stunned. It was the first time he had ever heard that an artifact spirit could leave the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda.

"Yes, yes, junior obeys."

Wang Changjie readily agreed. He had heard that artifact spirits could gain sentience, somewhat similar to plants, but it would take tens of thousands of years, and only under special circumstances could an artifact spirit become sentient.

"Remember, you only obtained the Heavenly Spirit Treasure after clearing the thirty-sixth floor. You must say this to anyone who asks, understood?"

The artifact spirit said meaningfully.

Wang Changjie was stunned; he didn't know what the artifact spirit meant by that.

The next moment, he felt a blur before his eyes, suddenly appearing in a spacious and brightly lit grand hall. With a ripple in the void, Gongsun Yang appeared.

Wang Changjie's eyes nearly popped out. Didn't she say he had to clear the thirty-sixth floor? How did he directly reach the thirty-sixth floor? Was this cheating, or did the artifact spirit help him cheat?

Outside the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda, the spiritual light on the thirty-fifth floor dimmed, and the spiritual light on the thirty-sixth floor lit up.

"Someone reached the thirty-sixth floor!"

The cultivators exclaimed; so far, few people had managed to reach the thirty-sixth floor.

Wang Changsheng's expression was calm. According to his calculations, it was impossible for Wang Changjie to have reached the thirty-sixth floor.

Not long after, the spiritual light on the thirty-sixth floor dimmed.

Time passed bit by bit. Within an hour, three people successively reached the thirty-sixth floor, but the spiritual light on the thirty-sixth floor quickly dimmed.

An hour later, the thirty-sixth floor lit up with a dazzling spiritual light, and Wang Changjie flew out of it. His body was covered in wounds, his aura was weak, and he appeared heavily wounded.

"A Wang family disciple cleared the thirty-sixth floor!"

The cultivators exclaimed.

Meng Tianzheng, Gongsun Yang, and Liu Ruyi exchanged glances, all somewhat surprised.

In terms of foundation, the Wang family was definitely the weakest. This time, while attempting the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda, several of their younger generation disciples brought formidable weapons like fourth-tier talismans and spirit treasures, yet none of them managed to reach the thirty-sixth floor. Wang Changjie, however, actually did it.

Wang Changsheng's brows furrowed slightly. His task for Wang Changjie was to clear the thirty-fifth floor. Even if Wang Changjie possessed a spirit treasure and a third-tier flood dragon, it should have been impossible for him to clear the thirty-sixth floor! Could he have underestimated his clan brother?
