Chapter 2670: Goodbye, Miao De

The Myriad Spirit Mountain Range, home to the Myriad Spirit Sect Headquarters.

It was a vast estate, featuring exotic birds and beasts, garden corridors, and elegant pavilions and terraces.

Gongsun Yang and Sun Tianhu sat in a teal stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"Master, please don't be so polite with me," Gongsun Yang said with a serious expression. "Without your guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today." He had given Sun Tianhu several treasures, which would make it easier for Sun Tianhu to pass his third great heavenly tribulation.

Sun Tianhu no longer refused and said with a smile, "I heard that Martial Uncle, the Sect Master, invited a Body Integration stage Buddhist cultivator to preach the Dharma."

"A Body Integration stage Buddhist cultivator?" Gongsun Yang was slightly surprised. He took out a golden communication plate from his robes, cast a spell into it, and gestured for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Wang is here, haha." Gongsun Yang laughed heartily, overcome with joy. If not for Wang Changsheng's help, he might have died of old age in the lower realm.

"Fellow Daoist Wang is here, that's wonderful." Sun Tianhu also showed a joyful expression.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, a sound transmission talisman flew in. Gongsun Yang leaped out to greet them; Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were standing at the estate entrance, both smiling.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, long time no see, please come in." Gongsun Yang's tone was warm and friendly as he invited Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan into the estate.

They arrived at the stone pavilion and sat down. Upon seeing Sun Tianhu, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan both greeted him. The four of them sat down in the stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"Fellow Daoist Wang has also advanced to the Body Integration stage, congratulations!" Gongsun Yang congratulated them with a smile. He was a spirit body cultivator, and the Myriad Spirit Sect had provided him with abundant resources, which was why his cultivation speed was so rapid. When he learned that Wang Changsheng had advanced to the Body Integration stage, he found it incredible. One must know that when he arrived in the Profound Sun Realm, both Wang Changsheng and Sun Tianhu were Void Refinement cultivators. Sun Tianhu was currently at the mid-Void Refinement stage, while Wang Changsheng was already at the early Body Integration stage. Wang Changsheng clearly had a great fortunate encounter; otherwise, his cultivation speed would not have been so rapid.

"The pleasure is mutual," Wang Changsheng said with a teasing smile. "Fellow Daoist Gongsun advanced to the Body Integration stage earlier than I did, which truly makes me feel ashamed." Gongsun Yang had only been at the mid-Spirit Transformation stage when he ascended to the Profound Sun Realm, yet his cultivation speed was even faster than Wang Changsheng's. Spirit body cultivators truly were different.

After exchanging a few polite words, the four of them began to chat casually. During their conversation, Gongsun Yang learned that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had visited the Azure Glaze Sea Region. His face filled with curiosity, and he inquired about some conditions there. Wang Changsheng briefly explained the situation in the Azure Glaze Sea Region.

"Myriad Spirit Ruins! Just by the name, one knows there are many treasures. If I get the chance, I'll definitely venture in." Gongsun Yang's face showed a look of yearning. After he ascended to the Profound Sun Realm, the number of life-and-death battles he experienced was extremely rare; most of his training was in the Myriad Spirit Pagoda. The Myriad Spirit Pagoda was a mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure, capable of conjuring demons, ghosts, and past masters of the Myriad Spirit Sect. Myriad Spirit Sect disciples could challenge its levels for training, but there was still a certain gap compared to life-and-death battles. In a life-and-death battle, one mistake could lead to death and the dissipation of one's Dao. However, making a mistake in the Myriad Spirit Pagoda merely resulted in being teleported out, with no danger to one's life.

Gongsun Yang had never visited dangerous places like the Myriad Spirit Abyss, the Barren Lands, and the Myriad Volcano Mountain Range. If nothing unexpected happened, his advancement to the Body Integration stage was only a matter of time, and the Myriad Spirit Sect naturally wouldn't let him venture into such perilous areas. After advancing to the Body Integration stage, Gongsun Yang would be able to move about freely.

Wang Changsheng nodded and consulted Gongsun Yang about insect-repelling techniques. After chatting for over an hour, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan returned to their lodgings to rest.

Their residence was located in a valley with pathways in all directions. Within the valley was a vast estate, and Wang Changsheng had brought over a hundred clan members with him.

Three days passed quickly. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were meditating and recuperating at their residence when Gongsun Yang sent someone to invite them, saying he wanted to introduce them to several other Body Integration cultivators. Wang Changsheng also wanted to use this opportunity to expand his social circle and perhaps exchange for some valuable items.

They followed a Myriad Spirit Sect disciple to Gongsun Yang's residence, where Gongsun Yang and over ten other Body Integration cultivators were sitting in a stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting with much laughter and conversation.

"Oh, Master Miaode!" Wang Changsheng saw an old acquaintance and let out a soft exclamation.

Master Miaode smiled and nodded, saying, "We meet again, Fellow Daoist Wang."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you know Master Miaode?" Su Yuntao asked, puzzled.

"If not for Master Miaode, we would have lost our lives," Wang Changsheng said gratefully.

"We have always been grateful for Master Miaode's life-saving grace and wish to find an opportunity to repay him," Wang Ruyan said, extending the invitation. "In a few decades, our Wang family will host a celebration, and we welcome Master Miaode to visit as our honored guest." She wanted to use this opportunity to consult Master Miaode on the methods for refining array talismans.

"Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda," Master Miaode replied. "Regardless of who it is, this humble monk will lend a hand. However, this humble monk needs to visit fellow Buddhist practitioners and has no time to spare. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will certainly pay a visit." Master Miaode politely declined. Ever since he arrived in the Profound Spirit Continent, numerous factions had extended invitations, and he found them quite bothersome.

Wang Changsheng did not press the matter, knowing that as long as Master Miaode was in the Profound Spirit Continent, there would be opportunities to meet.

"Fellow Daoist Wang's fortunate encounter is quite significant! To advance to the Body Integration stage so quickly." A woman in a golden long dress said meaningfully. The woman in the golden dress had exquisite features like a painting, skin as white as snow, and an aura slightly stronger than Wang Changsheng's.

"This is Madam Su from the Nine Flames Sect," Gongsun Yang introduced. The woman in the golden dress was named Su Qing, and she hailed from the Nine Flames Sect.

"Heh heh, which fellow Daoist who can advance to the Body Integration stage doesn't have a fortunate encounter?" A rosy-faced old man in a green robe chuckled. The old man in the green robe had a round face and large eyes, with a benevolent and kindly appearance. This was Lin Sen, from the Profound Green Sect, at the mid-Body Integration stage.

"Even with a fortunate encounter, one might not necessarily advance to the Body Integration stage," a beautiful woman in a red dress said with a light chuckle. "The two cannot be conflated." This was Chen Yuyao, from the Divine Weapon Gate, at the early Body Integration stage.

Wang Changsheng nodded and sat down. They began to chat casually, sharing cultivation insights and discussing local customs and conditions from other places. At the Body Integration stage, the next step was the Grand Ascension stage, so most of their conversation revolved around advancing their cultivation.

"I heard that after the Xu Tian clan was wiped out, they left behind many good things. The Xu Tian clan was once prosperous, so surely some clan members must have survived, right?" Wang Changsheng's face was full of curiosity. He needed to find cultivation techniques, as the ones Chen Yueying gave him only allowed cultivation up to the Body Integration stage, with no subsequent techniques. In this vast world, it was not easy to find subsequent cultivation techniques. It was like the Heavenly Void Jade Book; even if they were half-pages, their content might not be the same. The Xu Tian clan was once immensely powerful. If the Wang family could obtain the treasures left behind by the Xu Tian clan, they would benefit immensely. Of course, Wang Changsheng only thought about it, as he didn't know how many factions desired the Xu Tian clan's legacy.

Lin Sen nodded and said, "There should be some! Back then, our human race and other races participated in eradicating the Xu Tian clan, so some of their treasures fell into our human hands."

"I heard that the Beiming family obtained one of the Xu Tian clan's clan-protecting treasures," Wang Ruyan said, "or some say it was a rare and exotic fruit that aids in breaking through to the Grand Ascension stage."
