Han Changfeng nodded secretly. Over a thousand years ago, the Wang family had just established itself, and there were few high-level cultivators within the clan. A thousand years later, the Wang family had transformed, bustling with talent and developing rapidly.

Almost every rising power experiences a similar phase, with various talents emerging. It remained to be seen how far the Wang family could develop. If their opportunities were vast enough, the appearance of a Mahayana cultivator wouldn't be an issue. The cultivation world is never short of forces or individuals with extraordinary opportunities; the Blazing Fire Tribe and Venerable Xuanling are prime examples. Within ten thousand years, the Blazing Fire Tribe grew from a small clan to one of the five great races of the Xuanling Continent—a significant opportunity. Similarly, Venerable Xuanling cultivated from the Spirit Transformation stage to the Mahayana stage within ten thousand years, becoming the first person to do so in the Xuanyang Realm in five hundred thousand years. Different scales of opportunities lead to different levels of achievement; it varies from person to person.

The junior cultivators' sparring matches weren't particularly engaging, and Song Yunwu lost interest after a few glances.

"Fellow Daoist Han," Song Yunwu asked curiously, "I heard that Venerable Xuanling's cultivation retreat appeared in the Azure Glazed Sea Region, and multiple Mahayana cultivators from your region engaged in a fierce battle. Is that true?" Human cultivators on the Xuanling Continent were very interested in Venerable Xuanling's retreat, which was rumored to contain countless treasures and inheritances of cultivation techniques and secret arts.

"It wasn't Venerable Xuanling's retreat," Han Changfeng explained, "but merely the secluded abode of another Mahayana cultivator. Indeed, several Mahayana cultivators did engage in a fierce battle. A Mahayana cultivator from the Nine Dragon Palace also participated and was severely wounded by the Myriad Treasures Divine Lord. The Nine Dragon Palace has been declining ever since, and currently, it has only one Mahayana cultivator who hasn't appeared in years." Han Changfeng explained that many high-level cultivators on the Xuanling Continent had inquired with him about that conflict, as it concerned Venerable Xuanling.

"The Nine Dragon Palace, founded by the Flood Dragon race, I hear," Ye Tianxue remarked with a sigh. "It had three Mahayana cultivators during its peak. I never thought it would decline."

"Ups and downs are normal," Song Yunwu said nonchalantly. "Which force can remain prosperous forever? The Void Heaven race was once among the top clans on the Xuanling Continent, yet didn't it still vanish into the river of history?"

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Song's cousin is a spirit body cultivator and has already advanced to the Integration stage," Han Changfeng complimented. "Perhaps in time, he might even reach the Mahayana stage." Han Changfeng noted that spirit body cultivators are highly sought after by any force, and there are many examples of individual spirit body cultivators leading a force to glory.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Han, you flatter me," Song Yunwu said modestly. "My cousin Yunlong has some talent in cultivation, but good aptitude alone doesn't guarantee entry into the Mahayana stage. I hear that True Monarch Wuyue of your Azure Glazed Sea Region is a Five-Spirit Root cultivator and still managed to reach the Mahayana stage."

Han Changfeng nodded, saying, "Aptitude only determines the speed of early cultivation; it doesn't represent everything."

Just as Song Yunwu was about to speak, Ye Tianxue and the others' expressions hardened as they looked in a certain direction. Following Ye Tianxue's gaze, Song Yunwu saw a blue lotus platform. Wang Yuanwei and nine other sound cultivators held various musical instruments, enveloped by a thick, nine-colored light barrier. The expressions of Song Liming and the other nine varied: some were giggling foolishly, some were weeping, some clutched their heads and screamed, and some were filled with rage. Wang Yuanwei and the nine others collectively launched a sonic attack on their opponents. If the enemies couldn't break through their defense quickly, they would fall into an illusion, even sword cultivators.

Song Liming's face turned beet red, showing an expression of pain.

"Fellow Daoist Wang's clansmen are indeed superior in skill," Song Yunwu admitted. "It seems Liming and the others will need to cultivate diligently for a while longer to catch up to your juniors. In this match, our Song family has lost." Song Yunwu spoke up, realizing that continuing the fight would only bring more shame to the Song family disciples.

"Yuanwei, stop!" Wang Mengbin commanded, and Wang Yuanwei and the others stopped playing. Song Liming and his group slowly returned to normal, drenched in sweat. They had intended to make a grand appearance, but instead, they made a spectacle of themselves.

"We accept your concession, Fellow Daoist Song," Wang Yuanwei said politely.

"If there's an opportunity in the future, I hope to seek guidance from Immortal Wang again," Song Liming said, cupping his fists. Song Liming acknowledged that Wang Yuanwei had shown them some respect; otherwise, they might have already slaughtered each other.

The matches on the other three lotus platforms concluded one after another. Wang Yuanjiang and his group fought to a draw with Qin Xiubin and his group. Relying solely on body-refining techniques without substantial external aids, their physical bodies were not yet strong enough to directly withstand the full force of spirit treasures. Qin Xiubin and his group couldn't truly defeat Wang Yuanjiang and his group either; their blade energy could only injure, not severely wound, Wang Yuanjiang and his peers. After all, it was just a sparring match, and there was no need to fight to the death.

The Tier 3 puppet beasts could withstand spirit treasures, making it difficult for Zhao Jingfeng and others to destroy them easily. Wang Yuanhong and his group cooperated effectively, using spider puppet beasts to spray venom and contaminate the enemies' spirit treasures, collectively breaking through their defenses and defeating them.

Wang Huayue led eight Nascent Soul stage sword cultivators to face Lin Yuyan and her nine companions. Lin Yuyan's group wielded complete sets of spirit treasures, which possessed considerable power. Wang Huayue set up a sword formation to counter, but it was broken by Lin Yuyan's complete set of spirit treasures. Both sides were evenly matched, and the match ultimately ended in a draw.

Of the four matches, the Wang family disciples won two and drew two. These were mere sparring sessions, where both sides had many powerful killer moves that were inconvenient to use. In a battle to the death, the outcome would be difficult to predict.

After the sparring concluded, Wang Yuanjiang and the others returned to their seats and continued to chat with the guests. Wang Yuanjiang had several blood marks on his body, and his clothes were tattered. Despite the draw in this sparring match, he was not disheartened; instead, it ignited his competitive spirit. There's always someone better; he wouldn't rush after this draw. He vowed to cultivate even harder and defeat his opponent next time.

This sparring session left a deep impression on the cultivators regarding the Wang family's puppet beasts and sound cultivators. The puppet beasts could withstand spirit treasures, meaning Wang family cultivators wielding them against enemies had several extra helpers, making it easier to gain the upper hand in combat. As for the sound cultivators, it went without saying: if enemies couldn't break through their defenses quickly, they would easily be defeated.

"I've long heard of True Monarch Taihao's profound dao," Song Yunwu said, his face full of anticipation. "This time, I came to pay my respects and originally intended to spar with True Monarch Taihao. However, I learned he's in a life-and-death secluded cultivation. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wang would be willing to offer some guidance?" Song Yunwu looked at Wang Mengbin with anticipation. The Wang family was the most powerful affiliated force of the Zhenhai Palace in this sea region, and the Song family had always hoped to surpass them to gain greater benefits.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you are at the late Void Refinement stage, while Fellow Daoist Wang is only at the early Void Refinement stage," Qin Ming said, clearly displeased. "Is it fair for you two to spar?" Wang Mengbin frowned, realizing that Song Yunwu had come to cause trouble. If he didn't show him some strength, Song Yunwu might truly believe the Wang family was easy to bully. However, Song Yunwu's cultivation level was undeniable.

"Just a few exchanges," Song Yunwu chuckled. "With a limit of ten moves, how about that?"

Just then, countless spiritual lights suddenly surged in the void. These lights rapidly gathered, transforming into auspicious five-colored clouds. Strong winds swept across the island, and the sky changed color. In less than ten breaths, tens of thousands of five-colored auspicious clouds appeared above Qinglian Island, an astonishing display of power. Amidst gusts of strong wind, the five-colored auspicious clouds flew towards a certain direction.

"Someone is attempting to break through to the Void Refinement stage!" Song Yunwu's expression changed, filled with disbelief. It had been less than a century since Wang Mengbin reached the Void Refinement stage. Could another Wang family member be advancing to the Void Refinement stage so quickly? Did this mean the Wang family was about to gain another Void Refinement cultivator?

"Yingjie!" Wang Mengbin's expression solidified. On the island, only Wang Yingjie had cultivated to the late Spirit Transformation stage. Needless to say, these phenomena were caused by Wang Yingjie. Soon, alarms blared loudly across the island.

"Fellow Daoists, you've arrived at an opportune moment," Wang Mengbin said with a chuckle. "A member of our Wang family is attempting to break through to the Void Refinement stage. Let us observe together!"
