The water-element divine thunder unleashed by the heavenly lightning was, naturally, incomparable to the water-element divine thunder sprayed by the Scaled Turtle.
Wang Changsheng's pupils constricted, and his breathing grew heavy. Fortunately, he was prepared. He flipped his hand and retrieved a silver-glowing talisman, which bore a Black Tortoise pattern and exuded a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation.
The Rank-6 defensive talisman, Profound Tortoise Soul Guard Talisman, had the essence of a Rank-6 Black Tortoise refined into it, granting it formidable defensive power. He slapped the Profound Tortoise Soul Guard Talisman onto himself. A silver light flashed, and a thick silver light barrier materialized. A Black Tortoise appeared on its surface, swimming as if alive.
With a rumbling sound, the eighth lightning tribulation descended. A massive blue lightning bolt pierced the sky, like a blue lightning spear, falling with a ferocious aura. The blue lightning spear struck the silver light barrier. The Black Tortoise suddenly let out a mournful roar, and its body trembled violently. The blue lightning spear exploded, transforming into dazzling blue lightning that engulfed Wang Changsheng's figure.
Wang Ruyan and Wang Qingcheng looked tense, barely daring to breathe, their eyes fixed on the blue lightning. After a while, the blue lightning dissipated, and Wang Changsheng was safe and sound. A silver light barrier, its spiritual glow dimmed, protected Wang Changsheng. The defensive power of a Rank-6 defensive talisman was indeed formidable.
The rumbling of thunder rang out again. The thunderclouds violently churned, transforming into a blue lightning flood dragon over ten zhang long, which lunged directly at Wang Changsheng. Wherever the blue lightning flood dragon passed, the void tore open and fierce winds raged. Once it flew past, the fissures abruptly closed as if they had never appeared. The display was immense.
Wang Changsheng took a deep breath. His body radiated a brilliant blue light, and he moved his arms to meet the blue lightning flood dragon. With a loud bang, the blue lightning flood dragon was shattered by Wang Changsheng's fists. A blue light flashed, and a massive blue scorching sun appeared high in the sky, engulfing an area of a hundred li. Qinglian Peak trembled violently.
After a while, the blue lightning dissipated. The peak of Qinglian Mountain had been leveled, and the original manor had vanished. Wang Changsheng stood in a massive crater, his body charred black, his aura weak, his clothes in tatters, with white bones faintly visible.
"Husband!" "Father!" Wang Ruyan and Wang Qingcheng rushed over immediately, looking tense.
"Father, are you alright!" Wang Qingcheng urged, his eyes filled with worry.
Wang Ruyan took out a green porcelain bottle and handed it to Wang Changsheng, saying, "Husband, quickly take the Profound Ginseng Jade Dew Pill to heal your injuries." After they emerged from the Profound Spirit Grotto-heaven, Chen Yueying had given them a bottle containing ten Profound Ginseng Jade Dew Pills. They had used two, leaving eight.
Wang Changsheng suddenly stood up and burst into wild laughter. "Finally, I've entered the Void Refinement stage!"
Wang Changsheng laughed heartily, feeling an unspeakable exhilaration. After cultivating for over two thousand years, he had finally entered the Void Refinement stage. He recalled his journey, from being a cultivator of a minor family to reaching this point, having tasted all the bitterness and sweetness of life. Beyond emotion, he felt an overwhelming sense of pride. Upon reaching the Void Refinement stage, there was no longer a limit to one's lifespan. One would either die at the hands of a powerful enemy or perish under a Great Heavenly Tribulation. Relatively speaking, the Great Heavenly Tribulation was his greatest foe.
"Wife, I've entered the Void Refinement stage!" Wang Changsheng said excitedly. Entering the Void Refinement stage not only meant he had no lifespan restrictions but also that he could cast spells and descend to the lower realm using a separated soul to help one or two clan members ascend. He most hoped to help Wang Qingshan ascend. With Wang Qingshan's talent and the aid of spiritual items, entering the Void Refinement stage should not be a problem.
Wang Ruyan smiled and nodded, saying, "I know. You should first take the Profound Ginseng Jade Dew Pill to heal your injuries! Other matters can wait."
Wang Changsheng nodded. His gaze fell on Wang Qingcheng, and he showed delight, exclaiming, "Oh, Qingcheng, you've entered the Spirit Transformation stage! Good, good, this is wonderful! Double happiness has arrived!"
"Father, you should quickly take the pill to heal your injuries!" Wang Qingcheng urged, his eyes filled with worry.
Wang Changsheng poured out a pale golden pill from the porcelain bottle and popped it into his mouth. The pill dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, and a wave of warmth spread throughout his body. Wang Changsheng transformed into a streak of light and soared away. He needed to go into seclusion to recuperate for a period.
"Father has entered the Void Refinement stage, this is great!" Wang Qingcheng showed delight and said excitedly.
"Send people to rebuild the immortal's cave," Wang Ruyan instructed. "Also, keep this news confidential; do not spread it." Wang Changsheng had just entered the Void Refinement stage and should focus on cultivation to improve his strength. The Wang family had no disputes of interest with other forces. Whether Wang Changsheng was at the Spirit Transformation or Void Refinement stage held little significance and wouldn't bring any particular benefits, so there was no need to spread the news.
"Yes, Mother," Wang Qingcheng acknowledged the order and left.
The Xuanqing Sect featured wondrous valleys and ravines, and rare spirit grasses and flowers were everywhere to be seen. Its palaces were majestic and splendid, with flying pavilions and towering structures nestled amidst cloudy peaks, beautiful trees, white stones, and clear springs.
The door of a secret chamber suddenly opened, and Sun Yu walked out, his expression grave. After the Xuanqing Sect obtained the Xuantian item, they immediately searched for relevant ancient texts, hoping to cultivate it into a Xuantian treasure. Unfortunately, there was little recorded in the texts, and the Xuanqing Sect dared not cultivate it recklessly, so they could only place the Xuantian item in their treasury.
He took out a shimmering spirit disk, injected a spell into it, and asked, "Sect Master Senior Sister, how is it? Is there still no solution?"
"Not yet," a gentle female voice suddenly replied. "Senior Brother Zhao's clan members in the Sky Sea Realm sent a message. The Blood Shadow Clan has invaded the Sky Sea Realm and are asking for our help."
"Sky Sea Realm?" Sun Yu frowned. "Why bother so much with matters of the lower realms? Descending to a lower realm is not easy." He noted that while cultivators above the Void Refinement stage could descend to a lower realm using a separated soul, the success rate was not high. Each failure meant the separated soul ceased to exist, requiring hundreds or even more years of recuperation. Generally speaking, without exceptionally important cultivation resources, cultivators from the Profound Yang Realm would not easily descend to a lower realm.
"It is said that there is Creation Divine Water in the lower realm," the woman explained. "This material can not only condense Dharma Idols but also be used to cultivate spirit herbs and spirit fruit trees. According to ancient texts, this material is one of the ingredients for refining Creation Divine Pills. However, it is naturally formed and cannot be cultivated artificially."
Sun Yu's expression changed, and he frowned, saying, "Is there a large quantity? Could it be that the Blood Shadow Clan is also after the Creation Divine Water?"
"That's unclear," she replied. "I used the Boundary-Breaking Disk to send Nephew Sun, Nephew Zhao, and Nephew Li down to the lower realm. Besides collecting the Creation Divine Water, they will also deliver a batch of cultivation resources to Senior Brother Zhao's descendants. Even with the Boundary-Breaking Disk, we can only send Spirit Transformation cultivators to the lower realm. The advantage of sending one's main body down is the ability to carry items, but a separated soul cannot carry treasures."
"Why only send three people?" Sun Yu asked. "Why not send more? The Creation Divine Water might also be helpful for the Xuantian item."
"The power of the realm barrier is too strong; being able to send three people down is already very good," she explained. "All of them are at the Mid Spirit Transformation stage, and their strength is no weaker than cultivators at the Late Spirit Transformation stage. Especially Nephew Li, who is skilled in insect control and beast taming arts and has two Rank-5 spirit beasts. There shouldn't be any issues."
Hearing this, Sun Yu nodded, saying, "That's good then. I hope they successfully bring back the Creation Divine Water."
