Chapter 2896: Wind Xiaoyao Sect Distributes Rewards (No More Today)

Liu Yilong of the Myriad Spirit Sect also raises Vajra Worms. His second disciple acquired two Skyfiend Spirit-Slaying Blades. These blades are ancestral treasures of the Beiming family and cannot be wielded by outsiders, making them suitable for feeding Vajra Worms.

Wang Changsheng attempted to purify the Purple Scale Treasure Robe with the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron, but it was to no avail; he simply couldn't utilize it. Fortunately, refining such treasures is quite difficult and requires special materials.

In the lower realms, whenever Wang Changsheng refined ancestral treasures, he would incorporate his own vital blood and use secret methods, rendering them unusable by outsiders.

High-level cultivators in the Profound Sun Realm, however, possess methods to circumvent this. The ancestral treasures of major powers in the Profound Sun Realm, for instance, are not only refined with the creator's vital blood but also incorporate Coral Blood Jade.

Coral Blood Jade originates from miasma-filled areas and possesses strong exclusionary properties. Refining ancestral treasures with Coral Blood Jade carries a relatively high failure rate, but once successful, they require regular nurturing with bloodline power. This process makes it extremely difficult for outsiders to wield the ancestral treasures of a given lineage.

Due to the rarity of Coral Blood Jade, the high failure rate in refining ancestral treasures with it, and the subsequent need for high-level cultivators to nurture them with bloodline power, these combined restrictions limit the number of ancestral treasures any single clan or family possesses. Otherwise, if all treasures were imbued with Coral Blood Jade, outsiders would be unable to use any of them.

Wang Changsheng clearly recalled that several subsidiary races of the Lizard Clan produced Coral Blood Jade. If they could conquer these races, they might acquire some of it.

Besides six mid-grade Comprehending Heaven Spirit Treasures and the Myriad Soul Banner, there were also twelve portions of Dharma Idol materials, a batch of seventh-tier artifact refining materials, and three Seven-Star Soul Suppressing Talismans, which are effective against divine sense attacks.

The twelve portions of Dharma Idol materials were primarily for Integration cultivators. It was difficult even for Void Refining cultivators to obtain a single portion; only elite disciples could use these materials to condense their Dharma Idols.

Wang Changsheng discovered a significant amount of Sun Radiance Crystal within the two storage rings, which could be used to refine a powerful treasure.

Following this battle, the human race was unable to initiate another large-scale conflict in the short term, capable of only sending forces to harass enemy strongholds. The Lizard Clan had adjusted its deployment, causing the human race to suffer a significant loss. Fortunately, Wang Changsheng and his companions managed to capture the Purple Sable Mountain Range, reclaiming some lost ground.

Both sides sustained numerous casualties among their Integration cultivators, indicating that a large-scale war would not erupt in the short term. The human race needed to reassign troops, while the Lizard Clan required time to recuperate.

The Lizard Clan truly lived up to its reputation as an ancient, established race of the Profound Spirit Continent. Even in decline, they single-handedly withstood the assaults of three other races. Annihilating the Lizard Clan would undoubtedly result in countless more casualties among Integration cultivators, with even greater losses among those below the Integration stage. It was a true test of survival, where only the strongest would endure until the war's end.

Since the war began, multiple Integration cultivators from various factions, including the human race, Lizard Clan, Spiritfire Race, Yaksha Race, Beastmen, and Azure Ape Clan, have been killed or wounded. Both sides also successfully eliminated numerous Integration cultivators.

The casualties among Void Refining cultivators were even greater. Some smaller families and minor sects were utterly crippled, having lost all their Void Refining cultivators in battle.

The human race had pushed forward this far, but at a tremendous cost. Wang Changsheng felt somewhat fortunate that they were able to delay their participation in the war; otherwise, an untold number of his clansmen would have perished.

The war would not conclude anytime soon. Wang Changsheng knew very well that as time progressed, casualties among his Wang clan members were inevitable, the only variable being the extent of the losses.

Their priority was to enhance their own strength. The seven newly acquired mid-grade Comprehending Heaven Spirit Treasures were remarkably potent, particularly the Golden Crow Lamp and the Blood-Transforming Bowl.

The Golden Crow Lamp could summon Golden Crows to injure enemies, and the demonic flames it emitted were formidable. When used in conjunction with the Five-Poison Soul-Extinguishing Fan, its array-breaking effect was highly effective.

The Sun Radiance Ruler offered decent defensive capabilities, and it was Bu Yu's treasure. However, when confronted by the great divine ability of Overturning Rivers and Seas, the Sun Radiance Ruler proved utterly ineffective.

As Wang Ruyan's strength was comparatively weaker, Wang Changsheng gave these three treasures to her for her use.

The great divine ability of Overturning Rivers and Seas consumed an immense amount of magical power. If Wang Changsheng, in the early Integration stage, were to wield it alone, he would likely be left with very little magical power. However, with their combined magical power, the potency of Overturning Rivers and Seas would be significantly enhanced.

As Wang Changsheng's cultivation improved and his magical power deepened, the destructive power of Overturning Rivers and Seas when used against enemies would correspondingly increase.

A sound transmission talisman flew in. Wang Changsheng seized it, crushed it with his fingers, and the talisman instantly ignited. Wang Ruyan's voice then sounded: "Husband, Feng Xiaoyao, disciple of Heavenly River Sword Sovereign, has arrived to distribute rewards."

"Feng Xiaoyao!"

Wang Changsheng's expression tightened. He stood up and walked out.

Wang Ruyan and Feng Xiaoyao were sitting in a green stone pavilion, conversing.

"I've long heard of Fellow Daoist Wang's great reputation," Feng Xiaoyao said. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person."

Feng Xiaoyao's tone was cordial. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had earned the respect of the frontline cultivators through their strength, and Feng Xiaoyao held them in equally high esteem. The more Integration-stage foreign cultivators the Azure Lotus Couple eliminated, the less resistance they would face, and the fewer casualties they would suffer.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, you flatter me," Wang Changsheng replied. "If we're speaking of great reputations, mine pales in comparison to yours."

Wang Changsheng spoke truthfully; Feng Xiaoyao was, after all, a disciple of Heavenly River Sword Sovereign, and his status was self-evident.

"Let's dispense with the pleasantries," Feng Xiaoyao said. "I'm here to distribute rewards. What would you like to exchange for? Each item has its corresponding merit points listed."

Feng Xiaoyao took out two silver-glowing magic disks and handed them to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had accrued immense merit, earning them a substantial amount of merit points.

Wang Changsheng examined the list carefully, noting a considerable number of valuable items: seventh-tier ore veins, spirit mountains with seventh-tier spirit veins, Dharma Idol materials, seventh-tier talismans, seventh-tier formations, mid-grade Comprehending Heaven Spirit Treasures, seventh-tier healing elixirs, and fifty-thousand-year-old spirit medicines. There were even supreme-grade Comprehending Heaven Spirit Treasures available for exchange, but the required merit points were an astronomical sum; their accumulated merit was not yet sufficient to acquire one.

"An Eastern Yi Divine Wood over 80,000 years old!" Wang Changsheng's eyes lit up. If refined into a defensive treasure, it would undoubtedly be highly effective in resisting the Great Heavenly Tribulation.

He continued to examine the list but found no Nine-Light Divine Clay or seventh-tier Lightning Absorption Beads, though sixth-tier ones were available.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, are there no seventh-tier Lightning Absorption Beads or Nine-Light Divine Clay?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.

"There were low-grade seventh-tier Lightning Absorption Beads, but Fellow Daoist Lin of Zhenhai Palace exchanged them," Feng Xiaoyao slowly explained. "Now, only mid-grade sixth-tier Lightning Absorption Beads remain. There's no Nine-Light Divine Clay, but I do know a fellow daoist who raises a seventh-tier Nine-Colored Worm." Tribulation transcending materials were the primary choice for Integration cultivators, Feng Xiaoyao added, with Dharma Idol materials being the second.

"Who?" Wang Changsheng pressed.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Zilong, sect master of the Myriad Spirit Sect," Feng Xiaoyao introduced. "To my knowledge, Nine-Colored Worms require consuming vast amounts of high-grade metal ores to potentially produce Nine-Light Divine Clay. Fellow Daoist Chen hasn't appeared for many years, and his whereabouts are uncertain. You should not disclose this information to outsiders to avoid unnecessary trouble." Feng Xiaoyao explained that he wouldn't have shared this information if not for the immense contributions of the Azure Lotus Couple. The mere fact that Chen Zilong possessed a seventh-tier Nine-Colored Worm was enough to attract the covetous gaze of other Integration cultivators. Even Chen Zilong might be targeted by desperate Integration cultivators seeking to transcend the Great Heavenly Tribulation.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Feng." Wang Changsheng expressed his gratitude and committed the information to memory.
