Chapter 2485: Blue Gang Divine Jade, Scripture Pavilion

Among these three secret techniques, each has specific requirements. Relatively, “Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell” is less challenging to cultivate. However, at present, only the “Li Fire True Eyes” technique is suitable for Wang Ruyan's cultivation.

It is rumored that the Essence Fire Clan obtained a page from the Void Jade Book, which recorded various secret techniques, allowing them to master powerful divine abilities. This enabled their rapid rise within ten thousand years. Among these, the “Nine Blazes Soul Severing Technique” is the most renowned, and high-ranking members of the Essence Fire Clan have repeatedly used this divine ability to escape danger.

The “Nine Blazes Soul Severing Technique” is a unique escape art exclusive to the Essence Fire Clan, and only their core high-ranking members are permitted to cultivate it.

The “Qilin Spirit Extinguishing Hand” requires refining Qilin essence blood for cultivation, a harsh prerequisite that is typical for a secret technique recorded in the Void Jade Book.

Wang Changsheng took out a blank jade slip and recorded the three secret techniques onto it. These will be stored in the scripture pavilion for qualified clan members to cultivate in the future.

The content recorded in the Void Jade Book is available for cultivation by the entire clan, provided they meet the specific requirements.

The divine ability “Soul Suppressing Roar” can be cultivated by all clan members above the Soul Transformation stage. However, from the fourth level onwards, the cultivation of the “Grand Void God Forging Art” requires the setup of a special formation. Wang Changsheng has already gathered all the necessary materials for this formation but lacks a sixth-tier formation master to assist. Given the importance of the “Grand Void God Forging Art,” he prefers to rely on his own clan members rather than outsiders.

Therefore, if Bai Yuqi can advance to the Void Refinement stage, she will be able to assist in setting up the formation.

Wang Changsheng seemed to sense something, stood up, and walked out. A transmission talisman flew towards him; he crushed it, and Wang Mengbin's voice resonated: “Old Ancestor, I've acquired a piece of seventh-tier refining material, Azure Adamant God Jade.”

“Azure Adamant God Jade? That's a refining material on par with Silver Adamant Crystal!”

Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. He opened the restriction and called out, “Mengbin, come in!”

Not long after, Wang Mengbin entered, a wide smile on his face.

He took out an exquisite cyan jade box, handed it to Wang Changsheng, and said with a smile, “I found it inside a sixth-tier Golden-Eyed Sea Lion.”

Wang Mengbin was responsible for clearing high-tier demonic beasts from deserted islands, thus allowing clan members to develop them.

When high-tier cultivators battled at sea, valuable items sometimes fell into the ocean. Additionally, shipments from the Great Commercial Alliance were occasionally attacked by high-tier sea beasts, causing goods to plummet into the sea.

Golden-Eyed Sea Lions live deep in the seabed and have a voracious appetite. It's estimated that this one accidentally ingested the Azure Adamant God Jade while feeding. Such occurrences are not uncommon; cultivators with extraordinary luck have even found parts of the Void Jade Book inside demonic beasts.

Wang Changsheng opened the jade box, and a burst of azure light swept forth. As the radiant glow dispersed, a shimmering, azure-lit jade stone was revealed, translucent and naturally formed.

Wang Changsheng nodded, took out a silver storage ring, and handed it to Wang Mengbin, saying, “These are some lightning-attribute spirit herbs and fruits. Please accept them!”

“Thank you, Old Ancestor.”

Wang Mengbin expressed his gratitude and accepted the storage ring.

After chatting for a while, Wang Mengbin bid farewell and departed.

Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber. The Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron floated above a formation. He opened the cauldron lid, took out a red crystal with flickering blue light, placed the Blood Qilin ore inside, and then closed the lid.

He went to the cultivation room, activated the restriction, and conjured the Ten Thousand Ghost Seal. After striking it with a hand seal, the Ten Thousand Ghost Seal immediately shone brightly, its size rapidly expanding, accompanied by the wails and howls of ghosts.

During his trip to the Barren Lands, Wang Changsheng eliminated two sixth-tier ghostly entities. Wang Ruyan's Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada had consumed a Yin Pearl left by one of these sixth-tier ghosts and had already fallen into slumber; it should have no problem advancing to peak fifth-tier.

Over a thousand ferocious ghost shadows flew out from the Ten Thousand Ghost Seal. Most were Nascent Soul stage ghostly entities, with over a dozen at the Soul Transformation stage.

Wang Changsheng released the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada. It emitted excited chirps, its body radiating golden light, and it sprayed out golden mists, sweeping the ghostly entities into its mouth one by one.

Occasionally, a ghostly entity attempted to attack the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada, but Wang Changsheng intercepted them.

In less than fifteen minutes, the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada had devoured thousands of ghostly entities and became drowsy.

Wang Changsheng flipped his right hand, revealing a blood-red spherical pearl. This was a Yin Pearl left behind by a sixth-tier Blood Ghost.

The Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada seemed to catch the scent of a delicacy, emitting joyful chirps. It opened its mouth, sprayed out a golden mist, swept the blood-red pearl into its mouth, swallowed it, and then fell into a deep slumber.

Wang Changsheng carefully examined the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada, confirming it was merely in a deep sleep. He breathed a sigh of relief and put it away.

He settled the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada in a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. He designated the area as a restricted zone, allowing the cicada to peacefully attempt its breakthrough to the sixth tier.

Returning to Azure Lotus Peak, Wang Changsheng took out the Earth-Departing Turtle's shell and other refining materials.

Even a Grand Heavenly Tribulation couldn't destroy this treasure; if refined into a defensive artifact, its defensive capability would be even stronger. This is also why high-tier spirit turtles are scarce, as cultivators will organize forces to eliminate them once discovered.

Had the Earth-Departing Turtle not been severely weakened after enduring the Grand Heavenly Tribulation, the Essence Fire Clan would have faced significant difficulty in eliminating a peak sixth-tier Earth-Departing Turtle.

Wang Changsheng tossed the turtle shell into the air and sprayed out Glazed Ice Flames, enveloping it.

In the southwestern corner of the island lay a massive basin, spanning one hundred thousand mu. At its center stood a steep, towering peak, resembling a pillar supporting the heavens, standing proudly in the world.

This was the location of the Wang family's Scripture Pavilion, which was constantly patrolled by cultivators and protected by powerful restrictions.

At the summit of the peak was a ten-thousand-mu bluestone plaza. An eight-story cyan pavilion stood on the plaza, its gilded plaque elegantly bearing the three large characters: “Scripture Pavilion.”

At the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion stood two massive humanoid armored puppets, both peak fifth-tier puppet beasts.

A row of Li Fire Bamboo was planted on either side of the pavilion, providing an exceptionally rich fire spiritual energy.

A mass of blue clouds flew from a distance and slowly descended onto the bluestone plaza, carrying Wang Yuanjiang and hundreds of clan members.

After the spirit root detection, Wang Yuanjiang brought the clan members with spirit roots to select cultivation methods, as per standard procedure.

Once the cultivation methods were chosen, Wang Yuanjiang's task was complete.

Wang Yuanjiang was in high spirits. He had discovered a clan member with a Heavenly Spirit Root, for which the family had given a reward. Wang Qingfeng had personally sought him out and gifted him a copy of Wang Changsheng's cultivation insights, as well as a bottle of fourth-tier body-tempering pills. Of course, this matter was to be kept strictly confidential.

This special treatment for Wang Yuanjiang was mainly due to Wang Changsheng's excellent mood, coupled with Wang Qingfeng and Wang Moshan speaking on his behalf. Normally, he would not have received such privileges.

A spirited old man in a red robe emerged from the Scripture Pavilion. The tall, thin elder had ordinary features, appearing rather inconspicuous.

Wang Yishuo, a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, was one of the Scripture Pavilion's stewards, primarily responsible for managing its first four floors.

The Wang family's Scripture Pavilion had eight floors. The eighth floor was permanently guarded by three Soul Transformation stage cultivators, while the first to seventh floors housed cultivation methods, secret manuals, biographies, and legends.

Clan members at the Qi Refinement stage could only access the first floor's texts, while those at the Foundation Establishment stage could access the second. Access increased with cultivation level.

Taking Wang Changsheng's “Four Seas Spirit Forging Art” as an example, the first floor contained the cultivation methods for the first three levels, while the second floor allowed access to the cultivation formulas for levels four to six, and so on.
