Chapter 2897

To exchange for Nine-Light Divine Clay, even rarer materials are required.

Treasures crafted from Nine-Light Divine Clay are highly effective in defending against great heavenly tribulations. However, as the number of tribulations increases and their power grows, such treasures may not always be sufficient.

Of course, if a massive quantity of Nine-Light Divine Clay is obtained and refined into a top-grade Connecting Heaven Spirit Treasure, resisting even the eighth or ninth thunder tribulation would not be an issue.

As far as Wang Changsheng knew, there were only a handful of defensive top-grade Connecting Heaven Spirit Treasures on the Xuanyuan Continent. He had not heard of any being crafted from a large amount of Nine-Light Divine Clay. Such treasures might exist, but their existence would likely be unknown to the outside world.

If any force possessed a top-grade Connecting Heaven Spirit Treasure crafted from Nine-Light Divine Clay, they would undoubtedly keep its existence a strict secret from the outside world. Any leaked information would surely attract unnecessary trouble.

Wang Changsheng continued to browse the catalog and noticed Underworld River Water. However, the catalog indicated that only a limited quantity was available.

After some deliberation, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan made a decision.

They used their merit points to acquire East Yi Divine Wood, Underworld River Water, four boxes of Heavenly Sound Sand, ten pieces of Silver Gang Crystal, a Soul-Suppressing Pendant, two Spirit-Opening Pills, a seventh-tier Qiankun Spirit-Locking Talisman, two sixth-tier mid-grade Lightning-Absorbing Beads, and two pots of Spirit-Restoring Jade Brew.

The Soul-Suppressing Pendant, a mid-grade Connecting Heaven Spirit Treasure, counteracts soul attacks. This item was given to Wang Ruyan to wear, which would allow Wang Changsheng to fully activate his Soul-Shaking Gong.

The Qiankun Spirit-Locking Talisman is a trapping talisman, one of the unique secret talismans of the Heavenly Talisman Sect. Even an Integration stage cultivator, once trapped, would find it difficult to escape quickly.

Spirit-Restoring Jade Brew is a seventh-tier spirit wine. When consumed by an Integration stage cultivator, it can rapidly restore their magical power.

There was only one piece of East Yi Divine Wood remaining, and Wang Changsheng acquired it. The Underworld River Water he obtained was sufficient to refine Wang Changsheng's Dharma Idol to eighty percent completion.

Among these items, the most precious was the East Yi Divine Wood. When refined into a treasure, it is highly effective in resisting great heavenly tribulations.

There were still many other valuable items, but due to their limited merit points, they couldn't acquire them for now. It wouldn't be too late to exchange for them after accumulating more merit in the future.

"I will bring the items you requested as quickly as possible," Feng Xiaoyao said gravely, then wrote an IOU for Wang Changsheng, listing the items they had requested.

After chatting for a while, Feng Xiaoyao bid farewell and departed.

"How is it? Has the Azure Lotus Armor recovered its spiritual essence?" Wang Changsheng asked. Wang Ruyan had been trapped by the Blood-Transforming Bowl, whose blood flames had the effect of defiling treasures. Even with protective artifacts, it could reduce enemies to a pool of blood.

Even if an enemy managed to escape, their treasures would be corroded by the defiling blood, causing them to lose much of their spiritual essence.

Bu Guang carried this treasure specifically to deal with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Fortunately, Wang Changsheng's powerful escape technique allowed them to evade disaster.

Bu Guang had cultivated a seventh-tier Soul-Devouring Toad. Combined with the Blood-Transforming Bowl and the Myriad Soul Banner, it would have been effortless to kill even mid-Integration stage cultivators. Unfortunately for him, he encountered Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

"I have already used the True Yang Flame to remove the defiling blood power, and the Azure Lotus Armor has recovered its spiritual essence," Wang Ruyan nodded, adding that she also possessed a sixth-tier spirit flame named True Yang Flame.

Wang Changsheng nodded, chatted briefly, then returned to his secret chamber to meditate and recuperate.

In the Heavenly Lizard Mountain Range, within a secluded manor, Yi Feng and Bu Dan sat in a green stone pavilion. Bu Dan's brows were tightly furrowed.

Bu Guang, Bu Yu, and Bu Dan belonged to the same lineage. Upon learning of Bu Guang and Bu Yu's deaths in battle, Bu Dan, filled with grief and indignation, demanded an explanation from Yi Feng.

"According to intelligence from their insider, Immortal Xuan Yue and two others went to support the Azure Lotus Couple, which led to the demise of Bu Guang and his companions. Nevertheless, the Azure Lotus Couple's strength was indeed formidable. It was a pity that the Myriad Soul Banner fell into their hands," Yi Feng sighed.

"Hmph, if Yuan Gang had been sent, there wouldn't have been such a problem," Bu Dan snorted lightly, speaking with some dissatisfaction. "They always make our own people lead the charge. If all our Lizard Clan experts die, we won't be able to control newcomers like Yuan Gang who joined the Lizard Clan midway."

He was a conservative, always advocating for peace negotiations and ceding some territory in exchange for peace.

"With three clans opposing ours, we are under immense pressure," Yi Feng reprimanded him unceremoniously. "Yuan Gang couldn't spare the time, and when you were asked to act, you made excuses." A group of elders had gathered around Bu Dan. Most of their ancestors had made great contributions, and as descendants of meritorious individuals, they formed a small interest group with Bu Dan as its representative.

The conservative faction represented by Bu Dan held many important positions within the Lizard Clan. As long as Bu Dan and his group hadn't colluded with the enemy, Yi Feng found it difficult to deal with them.

"Why should we have to do everything ourselves? What are these allied races for?" Bu Dan dismissed it, believing that since his ancestors had followed the Lizard Clan's Grand Ascension stage cultivators through life and death, making many contributions, he should now enjoy peace and comfort in the rear.

Upon hearing this, Yi Feng initially intended to retort, but he took out a pale golden Dharma plate from his storage, infused it with a magic formula, and his expression turned grim.

"What happened, Clan Leader?" Bu Dan sensed something was wrong and inquired.

"The Wuluo Clan has been annihilated by the Yaksha Clan, led by Yaksha Clan experts Ziyun and Bayin," Yi Feng said with a gloomy face. "The Purple Mink Clan retreated, and the Wuluo Clan was annihilated. This has severely dampened morale. We are now left with only nine allied races."

"What? The Wuluo Clan was annihilated? But they had three Integration stage cultivators, and we even sent two Integration stage cultivators to assist them," Bu Dan's face was filled with disbelief. The two Integration stage cultivators sent to assist the Wuluo Clan belonged to the conservative faction.

"Some members of the Wuluo Clan betrayed them, collaborating with the Yaksha Clan from within. This allowed them to invade the Wuluo Clan's stronghold," Yi Feng said gravely. "It seems we need to adjust our strategy."

Bu Dan frowned tightly, wanting to say something, but upon seeing Yi Feng's ashen face, he swallowed his words.

In the Wuluo Mountain Range, the Wuluo Clan's stronghold, numerous buildings lay in ruins, and many corpses were visible.

Inside a magnificent golden palace, a beautiful woman in a golden dress sat on the main seat, with Bayin seated beside her. Both wore smiles.

The woman in the golden dress was Ziyun, a mid-Integration stage cultivator.

This time, they were able to annihilate the Wuluo Clan thanks to Bayin's success in inciting some Wuluo Clan members to revolt. He led them to infiltrate the Wuluo Mountain Range, coordinating an inside attack with outside forces, and eliminated the Wuluo Clan's leaders.

"You have made a great contribution this time. I will request a reward for you," Ziyun said with a smile.

Bayin nodded and humbly replied, "This is not my achievement alone. If Lady Zi hadn't eliminated the two Integration stage cultivators sent by the Lizard Clan, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the Wuluo Clan."

A proud expression appeared on Ziyun's face. She took out a pale golden Dharma plate from her storage, infused it with a magic formula, and a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes.

"Bayin, the Azure Lotus Couple has also arrived at the front lines," Ziyun said gravely. "They have killed four Integration stage cultivators."

"What?" Bayin's face was filled with shock. Years ago, he had pursued the Azure Lotus Couple, but they had escaped. Now, after all these years, the Azure Lotus Couple had both advanced to the Integration stage.

He had thought his own progress was significant, but he never expected the Azure Lotus Couple to have made even greater strides.

"What a pity," Bayin said with a frown. "If they had been eliminated back then, the human race would have two fewer experts."

Ziyun smiled and said, "Now that they are at the front lines, it's hard to say if they will survive until the end. Perhaps you will have a chance to meet them."

"If that truly happens, I'd like to show them what I'm capable of," Bayin sneered, his face filled with killing intent.

He had also fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and therefore did not fear the Azure Lotus Couple.

"But they killed two mid-Integration stage cultivators," Ziyun said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Bayin froze, his face filled with apprehension.
