Chapter 2161: Wang Qingcheng Advances to Transformation God, Granddaughter Wang Qiuya

A large number of demonic beast corpses floated on the sea, and the seawater for a thousand miles around was blood-red. The air was thick with the scent of blood and meat.

The Qilin Turtle lay on the sea surface, feasting on the dead demonic beasts.

After advancing to the fifth rank, its appetite had greatly increased. For it, the beast tide was merely an extra meal.

Wang Ruyan watched the retreating demonic beasts and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she could have used musical illusions to make the demonic beasts fight each other. However, musical attacks affect everyone, and while the island's protective formation could withstand general attacks, it couldn't block sound-based assaults.

If she hadn't been concerned about affecting Wang Qiushui and the others, Wang Ruyan would have unleashed her full power against the demonic beasts.

The Qilin Turtle had contributed significantly this time; its sheer size alone surpassed all the invading demonic beasts.

"Qiushui, send people to collect the demonic beast corpses," Wang Ruyan instructed. "Have Core Formation cultivators handle it, and be careful."

"Yes, Grandmother," Wang Qiushui replied. She then led a dozen clan members away from Tianzhu Island to collect the corpses.

This sea region frequently experienced beast tides, which were both a danger and an opportunity. For powerful factions, beast tides were a chance to gain wealth.

There were many versions of stories about a poor rogue cultivator unearthing a rare treasure or an inheritance magic bead from a demonic beast's belly, then seeing their abilities greatly improve and their cultivation soar. Such tales made many low-level cultivators yearn for similar fortunes.

Who hasn't daydreamed? What if the dream came true?

The Qilin Turtle feasted, eating hundreds of fourth-rank demonic beast corpses. A giant python over a hundred zhang long was quickly devoured by it.

After about the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, it let out a joyous roar, and over a dozen water spouts emerged around its body.

Wang Ruyan pondered for a moment. She instructed, "Qiushui, you all come back first."

Wang Qiushui responded and led her clan members back to Tianzhu Island.

The Qilin Turtle dove into the seabed, and the seawater churned violently, as if some colossal creature was about to surge out.

RUMBLE!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, hundreds of thick water spouts shot into the sky, and a large number of demonic beast corpses flew out from the seabed.

"Grandmother, it's helping us retrieve the demonic beast corpses that sank to the seabed," Wang Qiushui said with a smile. She conjured a cloud-shaped magic treasure and cast a spell into it. The cloud suddenly expanded, catching the demonic beast corpses.

Other clan members followed suit, which was much more efficient.

They removed the formation and placed the demonic beast corpses on the beach. Water spouts periodically rose from the sea surface, and individual demonic beast corpses flew out from the seabed. They were caught by Wang Qiushui and the others with their magic treasures and laid out on the beach, piling up like mountains.

Over an hour later, the Qilin Turtle surfaced, holding a completely blue giant python in its mouth. The python's head had a fist-sized bloody hole, which was scorched black.

It quickly devoured the entire giant python, then let out a satisfied roar that echoed through the sky.

"Grandmother, Grandfather's spirit beast is quite intelligent," Wang Qiushui said with a smile, his eyes filled with envy. "It's just that its appetite is a bit large." He wished he also had such a powerful spirit beast.

"Unfortunately, there's only one," Wang Ruyan said with a smile. "If it had offspring, I would certainly give you one." The Qilin Turtle possessed immense divine abilities and was very intelligent, so it was natural for Wang Qiushui to want to raise one.

The Qilin Turtle was not a pure turtle-type spirit beast, so breeding it would not be easy.

"Come back now! Qingcheng should have finished his lightning tribulation by now."

Wang Ruyan conjured a green cloth bag and stored the Qilin Turtle inside.

"After you've processed the demonic beast materials, do not leave Tianzhu Island," Wang Ruyan instructed. "There might still be small beast tides." She then used the teleportation array to return to Nine Dragon Island.

As she expected, Wang Qingcheng had successfully advanced to the Soul Transformation stage.

There was a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Outside, a yellow stone monument stood, inscribed with the characters "Qingyue Valley." This name, derived from the second characters of Wang Qingcheng and Sun Yuejiao's names, marked their residence.

Inside the valley was an expansive estate. In a simple green bamboo pavilion, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingcheng, and Sun Yuejiao were chatting. Wang Qingfeng had already cultivated to the perfected Nascent Soul stage and was attempting to break through to the Soul Transformation stage.

"Cheng'er, you've just broken through," Wang Ruyan instructed, her eyes full of maternal affection. "You should properly seclude yourself for a while to consolidate your cultivation."

All parents hope their children will become outstanding; if not, at least they can be safe and sound.

"Mother, your son has already advanced to the Soul Transformation stage," Wang Qingcheng said with a smile. "From now on, I can help share the family's burdens, so you and Father can relax a bit." He then looked at Sun Yuejiao and added, "Wife, you are already at perfected Nascent Soul. You can go into seclusion to attempt breaking through to the Soul Transformation stage. Leave the clan affairs to me."

In recent years, he and Sun Yuejiao had been responsible for managing the clan and formulating various policies.

"My husband has already advanced to Soul Transformation, so I cannot fall behind," Sun Yuejiao said, full of confidence. With her aptitude, advancing to the Soul Transformation stage would not be difficult, as the cultivation resources in the Xuanyang Realm were abundant, with many spiritual pills and elixirs.

"You all must work hard. I hope you can go further on the path of immortality," Wang Ruyan gently urged.

Wang Qingcheng and Sun Yuejiao readily agreed. The Wang family was now extremely wealthy, so cultivating a few more Soul Transformation cultivators would not be a problem.

"Xueli and the others are here," Wang Ruyan said, looking outside the valley with a smile.

After Dong Xueli married Wang Qingfeng, she gave birth to three sons and one daughter within ten years.

"I'll go invite them in," Sun Yuejiao said. "Speaking of which, it's been a while since I last saw Sixth Brother's wife." She then stood up and flew outside.

Not long after, Sun Yuejiao returned, with Dong Xueli following behind, accompanied by a boy and a girl.

A woman wearing a green ruqun had an oval face and cherry lips, with a pair of small dimples adorning her cheeks. She wore a pair of green embroidered shoes, and her long, dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, tied with a green bow. A touch of powder on her face gave her the air of a refined young lady.

This was Wang Qiuya, Wang Qingfeng's youngest daughter and the seventh in the 'Qiu' generation. Currently at the Core Formation stage, she was very interested in finding mineral veins. She personally sought out numerous ancient texts to study, hoping to become a Vein Seeker.

A Vein Seeker is a term for cultivators skilled at finding mineral veins. Powerful Vein Seekers could discern what mineral veins lay underground and their reserves simply by observing the terrain.

Beside Wang Qiuya was a golden-robed youth with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was tall and slender, with a white jade belt around his waist, presenting the appearance of a wealthy young master.

This was Wang Qiuju, Wang Qingfeng's eldest son and the fourth in the 'Qiu' generation. Currently at the Core Formation stage, he had a strong interest in artifact refining from a young age and had learned the art from Wang Qingfeng. He was currently a third-tier artifact refiner.

"Your grandchildren pay their respects to Grandmother and Fifth Uncle," Wang Qiuya and Wang Qiuju said in unison. "Congratulations, Fifth Uncle, on advancing to the Soul Transformation stage."

"Qiuya, come here to Grandmother," Wang Ruyan said, waving her hand and beckoning her over. "I haven't seen you for a long time. Why haven't you come to visit Grandmother?"

Wang Qiuya was the youngest female clan member of the 'Qiu' generation, and Wang Ruyan was very fond of this little granddaughter.

"Grandmother, your grandchild has been cultivating recently," Wang Qiuya said with a sweet smile as she walked to Wang Ruyan's side. "Otherwise, I would have visited you long ago."
