Chapter 2327: Collecting Sunflower Water Divine Thunder

The surface of the sea erupted, and thick water spouts twisted into tornadoes, rising into the sky. Charred demon beasts floated to the surface. A team of Wang family cultivators were salvaging the demon beast corpses from the sea. Wang Gonghu led another team of cultivators underwater, following the Qilin Turtle and protecting it from attacks by other demon beasts.

After advancing to the sixth rank, the Qilin Turtle's divine abilities greatly increased. It opened its massive maw and spewed out more than ten thick, golden and blue lightning spears, striking the head of a huge red sea cow.

The red sea cow let out a painful roar, its body twitching.

A dazzling blue light suddenly illuminated its side, and the Qilin Turtle appeared. It opened its massive maw, and countless golden and blue electric arcs surged forth. After a blur, it unleashed a hundred-zhang-wide golden and blue lightning beam, striking the red sea cow's head.

A tragic roar rang out as the red sea cow's head bled profusely, gushing continuously. The Qilin Turtle opened its massive maw, bit into the red sea cow's head, and violently tore it off, the blood flowing ceaselessly.

The Wang family cultivators were accustomed to this and stayed by the Qilin Turtle's side, allowing it to enjoy its meal in peace.

The Qilin Turtle spewed out a blue glow that enveloped the red sea cow's corpse. The red sea cow shrunk at a visible speed and was swept into the Qilin Turtle's mouth by the blue glow, disappearing.

It had just completed its lightning tribulation and had lost a lot of vital energy, so it intended to eat to replenish it.

After devouring the red sea cow, the Qilin Turtle swam towards the seabed. Wang Gonghu and the others quickly followed, their primary task being to guard the Qilin Turtle.

On Qinglian Island, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Thick blue lightning bolts tore through the sky, striking Wang Mengbin.

Wang Mengbin's body was enveloped by a silver glow. The blue lightning bolts disintegrated upon contact with the silver glow, transforming into countless tiny blue electric arcs.

Wang Qingcheng arrived at a massive crater. This huge pit was left by the Gold-Devouring Ant Queen's attempt to reach the sixth rank.

The Gold-Devouring Ant's bloodline was not particularly high. Although it had consumed a high-rank demon ant's inner core, it had not inherited the high-rank demon ant's bloodline, and its potential was limited. The Dual-Eyed Mouse, however, had consumed a high-rank demon mouse's inner core, causing its eyes to mutate, giving it hope of reaching the sixth rank.

Wang Qingcheng sent people to search inside the giant pit, but they only found some pale golden insect shells.

More than an hour later, the thunderclouds in the high sky dispersed.

Wang Mengbin sat cross-legged on a silver magic array, his face pale and covered in sweat, but his eyes were filled with joy.

He opened his right palm, and in its center was a pigeon egg-sized blue lightning orb.

It was not easy to refine this blob of Water Divine Lightning.

Before this, Wang Mengbin and Bai Yuqi had also used a Lightning Guiding Orb to set up a Nine-Origin Lightning Gathering Array, but it only attracted ordinary lightning power. This time, with the Qilin Turtle's advancement, some Water Divine Lightning fortunately appeared.

Wang Mengbin only needed four more types of divine lightning to attempt to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

"Husband, how was it?"

Bai Yuqi put away her formation plate and flags and flew over.

"Excellent, I only need four more types of divine lightning to attempt to break through to the Void Refinement stage. Madam, you've worked hard."

Wang Mengbin's face was full of smiles.

"It was no hardship. If not for the Ancestor providing that Lightning Guiding Orb, I would have been helpless."

Bai Yuqi humbly stated. The Lightning Guiding Orb given by Wang Changsheng was very powerful, and its effect when used to set up the Nine-Origin Lightning Gathering Array was excellent. Besides collecting lightning power, it could also guide heavenly lightning to assist Wang Mengbin's cultivation.

Wang Mengbin nodded and said, "Let's go back and rest first! After the great beast tide passes, we can ask the Ancestor for help in finding the remaining four types of divine lightning."

The Five-Element Divine Lightning was not easy to collect, but with the help of Wang Changsheng and others, Wang Mengbin was not worried.

They returned to their dwelling to cultivate, calculating the time; the large-scale beast tide was about to erupt.

Half a day later, the sea surface burst open, and the Qilin Turtle emerged, transforming into a blue long虹 and flying back into the huge lake, submerging to the bottom.

Wang Gonghu and the others also retreated, each returning to their duties.

Wang Qingcheng ordered secrecy, but the Qilin Turtle's advancement to the sixth rank caused too much commotion, and too many people knew, so the news still leaked out.

The news of Grandmaster Taihao's spirit beast advancing to the sixth rank quickly spread. The Wang family's allied forces were overjoyed, while their opposing forces were not.

On Qianzhu Island, at the Liu family.

In the assembly hall, Liu Chuande sat in the main seat, while a plump red-robed Taoist was reporting to him.

"The Qilin Venerable has advanced to the sixth rank? Is that true?"

Liu Chuande frowned. This was not good news for the Liu family. The Liu family's protective spirit bird was of the sixth rank, but the Liu family did not wish for the Wang family to also possess a sixth-rank spirit beast.

"It has been confirmed. Wang family cultivators mentioned it during casual conversations, and many people are saying the same thing. It is said that the Qilin Venerable possesses the bloodline of the Xuanwu, and its Dharma Form is the Xuanwu."

The red-robed Taoist's expression was solemn. A powerful Wang family indirectly threatened the Liu family; this was a potential threat.

"Understood. You may leave! Give orders to the clan members to exercise restraint and try not to engage in direct conflict with Wang family cultivators. Stay rational."

Liu Chuande ordered, his tone severe.

The Wang family was growing stronger and stronger. If not for the protection of Zhenhai Palace, the Liu family would have long since annihilated the Wang family.

However, the Liu family had the support of the Cold Flame Sect, so they were not afraid of the Wang family.

The red-robed Taoist acknowledged, bowed, and withdrew.

On Tianpeng Island, the Golden Peng clan's lair.

Numerous spirit birds and Golden Peng clan members could be seen on the island. The Golden Peng clan's ancestor was a seventh-rank Golden-Winged Wind Peng, possessing a trace of the Thunder Peng bloodline.

On a steep golden giant peak, the summit was a vast estate with towering ancient trees, strange rock formations, pavilions, terraces, and water pavilions.

In a hexagonal blue stone pavilion, Jiao Mingzhu and Jin Shuo sat, chatting.

Jiao Mingzhu had already advanced to the Void Refinement stage and officially became Jin Shuo's Dao companion.

Jin Shuo had many concubines, but only Jiao Mingzhu had advanced to the Void Refinement stage.

As the young patriarch of the Golden Peng clan, he was naturally very popular, but after careful consideration, Jin Shuo still chose Jiao Mingzhu.

Jiao Mingzhu's potential and courage were excellent, having cultivated to the mid-Nascent Soul stage in the lower realm and then clandestinely crossing over to the Xuanyang Realm. This was not something that pampered young ladies could compare to.

Jin Shuo seemed to sense something and took out a shimmering magic disk, casting several incantations. A majestic male voice suddenly rang out: "Shuo'er, come to the assembly hall. Yan Xiao of the Blazing Fire Clan is here as a guest. I want to introduce you to her."

"Yan Xiao? Ancestor, what is her relationship with the Blazing Fire Clan's Great Priest?"

Jin Shuo cautiously asked. The Blazing Fire Clan was divided into several tribes, each with its own Great Priest, but "the Blazing Fire Clan's Great Priest" specifically referred to Yan Zheng.

"She is Yan Zheng's descendant and recently advanced to the Body Integration stage. Come over immediately! Don't be disrespectful."

Jin Shuo repeatedly agreed and put away the magic disk.

"A descendant of a Mahayana cultivator? Her personal visit must be for an important matter!"

Jiao Mingzhu guessed, full of curiosity.

"I don't know, we'll find out when we get there."

Jin Shuo shook his head, led Jiao Mingzhu away from their dwelling, and hurried to the assembly hall.
