Chapter 2435: Sixth Rank Puppet Beast

Spring turned to autumn, and three hundred years passed quickly.

As the morning sun rose, golden light bathed Qinglian Island, making it appear as if draped in a shimmering golden veil.

"Dong, dong, dong!"Three melodious chimes echoed across Qinglian Island, signaling the start of a new day.

The Wang family cultivators became busy, each attending to their duties, as various streaks of light swept across the sky.

On a steep peak, a thousand-zhang-long waterfall cascaded down the rock face like a silver ribbon, its spray roaring.

Behind the waterfall was a cave entrance about a zhang wide. At the end of the cave was a cavern over a hundred zhang in size, simply furnished with a blue stone bed, a green stone table, and several green stone stools.

Wang Yuanjiang sat cross-legged on the blue stone bed, eyes closed and hands forming seals. A series of crackling sounds emanated from his bones.

After a while, he opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

He could clearly feel that his strength had significantly increased.

Wang Yuanjiang had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. He had consistently achieved high rankings in various minor competitions, gradually improving and acquiring a substantial amount of cultivation resources. He had also become a Core Formation cultivator prioritized for family cultivation.

After reaching the peak of Core Formation, the family provided him with a spirit item for Nascent Soul formation. He also used his own wealth to purchase another spirit item, successfully advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

"There's not much spirit water left," Wang Yuanjiang muttered to himself. "I need to go accept a mission and earn some cultivation resources."

He stood up, walked out, soared past the waterfall, and flew towards the Service Tower.

As he passed near Qinglian Peak, a sudden loud noise erupted from it, causing the entire peak to shake.

Wang Yuanjiang was startled. He looked towards Qinglian Peak, a bewildered expression on his face.

Numerous clansmen rushed over from various locations when a majestic male voice suddenly rang out: "Nothing to worry about. You may all withdraw!"

Upon hearing this, the clansmen dispersed.

Qinglian Peak, a secret chamber.

Wang Changsheng looked excited. Numerous crafting materials were laid out on the floor, and a huge roc skeleton hovered in the air. The roc puppet's body was covered in profound spiritual patterns and enveloped in a bluish-green glow.

After refining several mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures, Wang Changsheng began attempting to craft a Tier 6 puppet beast, given that he had a good number of Tier 6 demonic beast corpses.

He spent over two hundred years and finally succeeded in refining his first Tier 6 puppet beast. Previously, all his attempts at crafting Tier 6 puppet beasts had failed, but this time, he finally succeeded.

After all, Tier 6 puppet beasts are inanimate objects; they cannot use Dharma Idols. While their abilities are considerable and dealing with Tier 6 demonic beasts is certainly not an issue, controlling a Tier 6 puppet beast requires a significant amount of spiritual sense. Unless a Deity Transformation cultivator's spiritual sense is exceptionally strong, they cannot control a Tier 6 puppet beast.

Since he could refine the first Tier 6 puppet beast, he could certainly refine a second one; it was just a matter of time.

Tier 6 puppet beasts require high-grade spirit stones for activation, while Tier 7 puppet beasts would need supreme-grade spirit stones. While some large markets on Xuang Ling Continent might have Tier 6 puppet beasts for auction, Tier 7 puppet beasts are extremely rare; there have been no reports of any large market on Xuang Ling Continent selling them.

Wang Changsheng put away the puppet beast and walked out.

Stepping out of the secret chamber into the courtyard, Wang Changsheng spotted a green sound transmission talisman. With a flick of two fingers, a blue light shot out, hitting the talisman. The talisman instantly ignited, and Sun Yuejiao's voice emerged: "Father, a clan member acquired a spirit beast egg from a secret realm. It's said that True Monarch Skybeast brought it from Heavenly Venerate Xuanling's cultivation ground."

"A spirit beast egg? Heavenly Venerate Xuanling's cultivation ground?" Wang Changsheng was a little surprised. Heavenly Venerate Xuanling was a renowned figure in the Xuanyang Realm, practically a household name. If the spirit beast egg truly came from Heavenly Venerate Xuanling's cultivation ground, it would certainly be extraordinary.

Wang Changsheng took out his communication disk and contacted Sun Yuejiao: "Yuejiao, bring that spirit beast egg here. I have some questions for you.""Understood, Father. I'll be right there," Sun Yuejiao replied.

The Twin-Eyed Rat suddenly scurried out from the neighboring small courtyard and quickly climbed onto Wang Changsheng's shoulder.

Its injuries had almost fully recovered, and it was no longer in any serious condition.

"Sky-Devouring Rat, it would be great if you could transform," Wang Changsheng said with a smile, affectionately stroking its head. He then took out over thirty millennia-old spirit herbs and fed them to the Twin-Eyed Rat.

The Sky-Devouring Rat was the most powerful among rat demons, with a vast appetite. If it matured to a high rank, its abilities would far surpass those of ordinary demonic beasts of the same rank.

Suddenly, countless streaks of spiritual light appeared in the void, accompanied by a deafening roar from high in the sky.

Wang Changsheng seemed to sense something and soared into the sky. He could clearly see a massive spiritual energy vortex forming high above. After a dazzling blue light flashed, it transformed into a huge phantom image of crimson thorns.

After a while, the spiritual energy vortex violently churned, and large raindrops poured down. These were pure five-element spiritual energies.

The raindrops fell upon the phantom image of crimson thorns, causing it to glow with dazzling crimson light.

Not long after, the phantom image of thorns dispersed, suddenly dissolving and vanishing.

A rumbling thunder sounded, and a massive thundercloud suddenly appeared high in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Countless silver electrical arcs clustered together densely, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.

With a flash of silver, a silver lightning bolt ripped through the sky and struck downwards.

"Wood Demon!" Wang Changsheng's expression turned serious. The Wood Demon was attempting to reach Tier 6; it was a descendant of the Bloodthirsty Thorn.

After arriving in the Spirit Realm, Wang Changsheng had consulted many ancient texts and inquired about Wood Demons with other high-level cultivators.

Most Wood Demons were spirit trees or spirit flowers; a thorn bush becoming a demon was unheard of.

The Wood Demon had refined multiple high-grade Wood Demon crystal cores and was only now attempting to reach Tier 6. It was uncertain whether it would succeed.

The Gold-Eating Ant Queen had already perished under the lightning tribulation. He hoped the Wood Demon would succeed.

To advance to Tier 6, the Wood Demon could only rely on itself; Wang Changsheng could not offer any assistance.

At this moment, Sun Yuejiao also arrived.

She took out a large spirit beast egg and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Qingshan had little interest in insect and beast taming, so he sent the spirit beast egg back to the family, informing Sun Yuejiao to give it to Wang Changsheng. As for how Wang Changsheng would deal with the egg, Wang Qingshan was not interested.

"Tell me how you obtained this spirit beast egg!" Wang Changsheng instructed. He could clearly feel the powerful life force emanating from the egg.

Sun Yuejiao dared not delay and recounted the story truthfully.

"So, this spirit beast egg has been preserved for at least tens of thousands of years, absorbing a large amount of Azure Jade Divine Milk, which is why its vitality is so strong." Wang Changsheng's face showed a thoughtful expression. True Monarch Skybeast went to great lengths, setting up a high-level formation and using Azure Jade Divine Milk to hatch this spirit beast egg. This egg was certainly not an ordinary spirit beast.

"That's right," Sun Yuejiao nodded. "I was worried the spirit beast egg might get damaged, so I didn't let any beast tamers try to hatch it." She knew the egg's value and naturally wouldn't let just anyone attempt to hatch it, fearing potential problems if something went wrong.
