Many Nascent Soul cultivators were displeased with him. However, Long Xin still needed their help and could not stand by and watch Wang Qingshan slaughter the Heavenly Flow Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators. If Wang Qingshan truly intended to do so, the Heavenly Flow Sect would undoubtedly mobilize all its forces to annihilate the Wang family.
"If you make things difficult for me, I'll make things difficult for everyone."
He wanted to use Wang Qingshan to quell the arrogance of those long-established Nascent Soul cultivators. If Wang Qingshan's strength proved insufficient and he died at the hands of the Heavenly Flow Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators, that would be even better.
"Alright, it's settled then. Produce the Heavenly Flow Proscribed Book and sign the oath!"
Wang Qingshan pondered for a moment, then agreed.
"You must also sign an oath," Long Xin said earnestly, his eyes filled with apprehension, "that you will help me open a dimensional passage to the Ice Sea Realm, and that you will not try to kill me."
Wang Qingshan agreed, as this was not a difficult task for him.
Long Xin flicked his sleeve, and a page from the Heavenly Flow Proscribed Book flew out. He wrote an oath on it with his essence blood, and Wang Qingshan also wrote an oath with his essence blood.
After the agreement was reached, Long Xin was overjoyed.
"I will go convince those Nascent Soul cultivators first. As for the culprits who killed my clansmen, you know what to do."
After Wang Qingshan finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of green light and vanished into the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, let's meet at Thunderclap Valley in the northwest of the Heavenly Flow Realm," Long Xin remembered something and shouted loudly.
"Understood. I will uphold my promise. I hope you do the same, otherwise, I won't care about any oath," Wang Qingshan's voice drifted back from the horizon.
Soon, Wang Qingshan disappeared from sight in the distance.
"As long as we can invade other realms, these minor matters are insignificant. Even Senior Sister Li and the others won't care about the lives of a few disciples and grand-disciples," Long Xin said dismissively. To invade other realms, one must first locate a suitable spatial node, which is the most challenging part; it's not as simple as opening any random spatial node to travel to another realm.
Long Xin transformed into a golden streak of light and returned the way he came.
In the northwest of the Thousand Gourd Realm, the Profound Gold Mountain Range stretched for millions of miles. It once contained a large Profound Gold ore vein, but after thousands of years of mining, the ore vein had been depleted. The spiritual energy here was sparse, and high-level cultivators rarely lingered.
Deep within the Profound Gold Mountain Range, lay a massive valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. The valley was perpetually shrouded in thick fog.
A streak of green light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards the valley.
Not long after, the green light stopped, landed on the ground, and dissipated, revealing Wang Yingjie's figure.
Wang Yingjie extended his divine sense, sweeping across a thousand-mile radius. Finding no cultivators, he quickly entered the valley.
At the end of the valley was a cave entrance several zhang wide. Wang Yingjie strode inside. After walking for over a hundred steps, the path suddenly opened up, revealing a cavern about an mu in size. Its rocky walls were uneven, appearing unremarkable.
Wang Yingjie approached a rock wall. He took out a yellow square token. With a gentle flick of his wrist, the token emitted a yellow light, which disappeared into the wall. The rock wall immediately glowed with dazzling yellow light and began to shake slightly.
Soon, a yellow light door about a zhang wide appeared on the wall. A surge of pure spiritual energy poured out. This was the entrance to a secret realm, known only to a few clan members.
While Wang Qingshan sought revenge from the Heavenly Flow Sect, the Wang clan members were dispersed and settled. Wang Yingjie had brought a portion of them to hide within this secret realm.
Wang Yingjie's figure blurred, and he vanished into the yellow light door. The light door then healed itself, as if it had never been there.
Wang Yingjie felt his vision blur for a moment, then suddenly found himself above a continuous expanse of verdant mountains. Exotic flowers and rare herbs grew everywhere, and spiritual energy was abundant.
He transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the northwest. Before long, he landed on a bluestone plaza spanning ten thousand mu. Directly in front of the plaza stood a magnificent, golden palace, with "Green Lotus" inscribed on its plaque.
Wang Yingjie entered the palace. Wang Qingjing was seated in the main seat, and Guang Dongren was beside her.
"Ancestor, Fellow Daoist Guang, I just received news that the Heavenly Flow Sect has returned our territory and severely punished a group of cultivators who offended our Wang family," Wang Yingjie said seriously, his eyes filled with confusion. Wang Qingshan said he was going to seek revenge, so why did the Heavenly Flow Sect yield proactively?
"What? The Heavenly Flow Sect would be so kind? Is there a trick?" Wang Qingjing's graceful brows furrowed, her face full of suspicion.
"Exactly! It would be good enough if the Heavenly Flow Sect didn't try to wipe us out. How could they do something like this?" Guang Dongren was also full of suspicion.
Wang Yingjie shook his head and said, "I don't know the inside story, but to be safe, let's stay here for now."
"Fellow Daoist Wang won't be in any trouble, will he? He went alone to confront the Heavenly Flow Sect; he might not be their match, right?" Guang Dongren was worried.
"Don't worry!" Wang Qingjing was full of confidence in Wang Qingshan. "Even if Seventh Brother is no match, he can certainly retreat safely. Besides, established Nascent Soul cultivators like Shangguan Tianhong haven't appeared for many years, so they're probably not in the lower realm anymore. The Heavenly Flow Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators are too scattered; they couldn't be Seventh Brother's opponent." Wang Qingshan possessed a flying spirit treasure, so even if he was defeated, he could escape.
"That's true," Guang Dongren sighed, a look of regret on his face, "but I think we should have gone with him to help a little."
"This minor matter, I can handle myself." A confident male voice suddenly rang out. No sooner had the voice faded than a streak of green rainbow light flew in, revealing Wang Qingshan.
After returning to the Thousand Gourd Realm, he sought out several Nascent Soul cultivators of the Heavenly Flow Sect for sparring. Relying on the Green Lotus Karma Fire, the Roaming Dragon Sword Array, and the Green Lotus Sword, he successively defeated five Nascent Soul cultivators, successfully convincing them to sign an oath on the Heavenly Flow Proscribed Book, pledging not to harm the Wang family.
"Seventh Brother, you're back so soon? Are you alright?" Wang Qingjing's face was full of concern, and her eyes gleamed with excitement.
"It's nothing, they couldn't harm me," Wang Qingshan's face was relaxed. "Established Nascent Soul cultivators like Shangguan Tianhong aren't around, and these current ones haven't been in the Nascent Soul stage for very long. They barely have any Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, so they're no match for me at all." Perhaps Shangguan Tianhong and others had taken away many Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, as most of the Heavenly Flow Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators didn't possess Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, primarily using regular spirit treasures, with only a few having one. If the Heavenly Flow Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators had several Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, it would not have been easy for Wang Qingshan to win.
"Senior Wang, why are you back so suddenly? Can we leave here now? Or return to the Eastern Liyuan Realm?" Guang Dongren asked excitedly. After all, the Eastern Liyuan Realm was his home, and he had long wished to return there.
"Not yet," Wang Qingshan explained. "There are quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Heavenly Flow Sect, and they are not unified internally. I only convinced a portion of them. I've already agreed with the Heavenly Flow Sect Master to help him open a dimensional passage to the Ice Sea Realm. As for the rest, we won't need to worry about it." Once the dimensional passage was opened, the Heavenly Flow Sect would invade the Ice Sea Realm, and naturally wouldn't bother with the Wang family.
Wang Qingjing and the other two suddenly understood. No wonder the Heavenly Flow Sect made concessions; this was the reason.
Wang Qingshan continued, "Stay here obediently. When I return, I'll take you home. Also, I need to mention that some people will definitely have to remain in the Thousand Gourd Realm. It's impossible to bring all clan members back to the Eastern Liyuan Realm; the clan simply cannot support so many cultivators."
Over fifty thousand cultivators would consume a significant amount of cultivation resources annually. Even if Wang Qingshan could seize a large territory in the Eastern Liyuan Realm, supporting so many cultivators would be very difficult. Dividing the clan members between two realms would alleviate pressure, and secondly, prevent them from being completely annihilated.
"Understood, Seventh Brother, don't worry! We won't wander off. Please take good care of yourself," Wang Qingjing agreed.
Wang Qingshan nodded, gave a few instructions, and then left. He was going to the Heavenly Flow Realm to rendezvous with Long Xin.
