Chapter 2399: Half a Page of Heavenly Void Jade Book Gained Again

Yuyang Valley was a market town established by the Jiang family.

The streets were bustling with people, and various vendors loudly called out to attract customers, creating a lively atmosphere.

Yuyang Tower was the largest inn in Yuyang Valley.

In one of the guest rooms, Duan Tongtian sat cross-legged on a wooden bed, holding a pennant that shimmered with a green light.

In less than a century, he would face the Grand Heavenly Tribulation. As it was his first time, Duan Tongtian dared not be careless.

After the racial war ended, he used his merit points to acquire cultivation resources. He then discovered that cultivators from the Song family were tracking him. Honestly, had it not been for Dong Xueli, Duan Tongtian would have long since set an ambush and killed them.

Dong Xueli now had a large family and was living happily, which lessened Duan Tongtian's murderous intent. In the past, he would have acted already.

Dong Xueli was his only concern in the world, and the only person who could restrain him.

A pleasant spiritual sound emanated from Duan Tongtian. He paused in surprise for a moment, then quickly reacted, taking out a glowing magical disk. He cast a spell into it and cautiously asked, "Xueli, what do you need me to do?"

"Brother-in-law, this is Wang Changsheng. Xueli has told me about you. I've been tied up with worldly affairs these past years, otherwise, I would have come to see you sooner. I truly apologize." A gentle male voice suddenly resonated.

"Brother-in-law? I don't know you. You've got the wrong person." Duan Tongtian was full of suspicion, fearing it was an enemy's trap.

Wang Changsheng recounted several amusing anecdotes from Dong Xueli's childhood, which finally convinced Duan Tongtian.

"Brother-in-law, I'll be waiting for you in a private room at Yuyang Residence. Shall we have a chat?" Wang Changsheng proposed.

"Alright, I'll be right there." Duan Tongtian agreed.

At Yuyang Residence, in a private room on the third floor.

Wang Changsheng sat by a tea table made of jade-splendor wood, holding a glowing magical disk in his hand.

A moment later, a knock came from outside the door.

"Please come in, brother-in-law," Wang Changsheng said. With a flick of his sleeve, the door swung open. A thin, elderly man in a green robe entered. Based on Dong Xueli's description, this was not Duan Tongtian.

The green-robed elder's divine sense fully extended, meticulously scanning everything in the room, filled with caution.

Wang Changsheng showed no dissatisfaction; instead, he was pleased. Duan Tongtian's high level of caution meant he would be harder to expose.

Closing the door, Wang Changsheng activated the room's restrictions to prevent other cultivators from prying.

Duan Tongtian's facial features blurred, then returned to their true appearance.

"Brother-in-law, I sincerely apologize. After all these years, this old man has simply grown accustomed to it." Duan Tongtian's face was full of apology. If it weren't for the Song family cultivators tracking him, he wouldn't have needed to alter his appearance.

"You're overthinking it, brother-in-law. This is better for everyone." Wang Changsheng dismissed his concern and motioned for Duan Tongtian to sit.

Duan Tongtian inquired about Dong Xueli's situation, and Wang Changsheng answered truthfully.

Upon learning that Dong Xueli was well and had a large family, Duan Tongtian's face showed an expression of relief and contentment.

"I originally wanted to bring some of her children and grandchildren to meet you, but you've heard about the Song family's situation. For caution's sake, let's not. If you wish to see them, I can arrange a meeting on Qinglian Island, which would be safer," Wang Changsheng said earnestly.

Duan Tongtian shook his head and replied, "No need. As long as Xueli is doing well, that's enough."

"Brother-in-law, here is a set of earth-attribute Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, and a set of the sixth-tier defensive grand formation, the Profound Tortoise Water Evolution Formation. This is a small token of our appreciation. We hope you can safely pass the Grand Heavenly Tribulation. If you need me to protect you during it, please don't hesitate to ask. Xueli is a good child; she just hasn't fully come to terms with things yet, so please don't blame her. Once she reaches the Consummation stage of the Soul Transformation realm, I will provide her with spiritual items to help her break through to the Void Refinement stage."

Wang Changsheng took out a green storage ring and handed it to Duan Tongtian. The sixth-tier formation came from Jin Shuo.

Based on Dong Xueli's account, Wang Changsheng estimated that Duan Tongtian would face the Grand Heavenly Tribulation in less than a millennium. This was a debt owed to his children, and as a father, Wang Changsheng had to contribute.

Duan Tongtian was stunned. It wasn't that he cared about the items; ever since he advanced to the Void Refinement stage, no one had truly cared for him. Whenever he was injured in combat, he would always find a secluded spot to recuperate alone.

"Thank you very much, brother-in-law." Duan Tongtian expressed his gratitude and accepted the storage ring.

He pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, then produced an exquisite green jade box and handed it to Wang Changsheng. With a flick of his sleeve, three different-colored spherical beads flew out. They spun rapidly, transforming into a dense, three-colored light barrier that enveloped both of them.

"Xueli is my only daughter. This half-page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book was something I obtained by chance. I've never been able to unlock the restrictions on it. The Xia family heard about this, which is why they attacked Xueli and her family. Consider this Xueli's dowry!" Duan Tongtian said softly, a hint of reluctance on his face.

To be honest, he had originally intended to exchange this half-page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book with a major power for treasures to help Dong Xueli break through to the Void Refinement stage. However, since Wang Changsheng was willing to provide spiritual items to Dong Xueli for her breakthrough, and also gave him a complete set of Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures and a sixth-tier formation, even offering to protect him during his tribulation, Duan Tongtian changed his mind.

Sincerity begets sincerity. Since Wang Changsheng treated him like family, Duan Tongtian saw no reason to hide anything. He possessed this half-page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book, a fact even Dong Xueli was unaware of, let alone outsiders.

"A half-page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book!" Wang Changsheng was stunned. He truly hadn't known that Duan Tongtian possessed such a treasure.

He opened the lid of the box, and a gentle precious light swept out, revealing a silver book page before his eyes.

"Brother-in-law, where did you get this?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.

"It was from a secret realm controlled by the Void Sky Clan. I only found half a page when I obtained it, and it was also because of this that I advanced to the Void Refinement stage. I've tried many methods, but none have been able to unlock the restrictions on it. Perhaps you have a way to unlock them. I hope it will be useful to your family," Duan Tongtian said slowly.

"How did the Xia family know you possessed a half-page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book?" Wang Changsheng was very confused. Wang Mengbin had also obtained a half-page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book; could they be the same page?

Duan Tongtian shook his head. "I don't know either. The Void Sky Clan's secret realm has existed for many years. Some say it contains high-grade Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, others claim powerful secret techniques. It's likely just hearsay. The Xia family has Void Refinement cultivators, so they acted recklessly and attacked Xueli and her family. I can guarantee that since I obtained this half-page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book, only we have seen it."

"This gift is too valuable." Wang Changsheng's expression became serious. If this half-page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book was the same as the one Wang Mengbin obtained, that would be truly excellent. With two pages of the Heavenly Void Jade Book, it would be enough to help the Wang family rise.

"Xueli is my only daughter. This is her dowry, so its value is appropriate." Duan Tongtian exuded a grand aura. Over the years, he had inquired about the Wang family through various channels. Many cultivators had witnessed Wang Qingfeng and Dong Xueli constantly together, their affection clear for all to see. If the Wang family had not treated Dong Xueli well, Duan Tongtian would never have given up this half-page of the Heavenly Void Jade Book.
