Three hundred years had passed.
Qingwu Island, one of the islands controlled by the Li family, had a terrain that was higher in the south and lower in the north, with numerous buildings visible.
A massive five-colored thundercloud floated high in the sky, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring.
Li Tianhe stood atop a cloud-piercing mountain peak, his expression solemn.
Streaks of five-colored lightning struck down one after another, and the thundercloud's area gradually shrank.
A short while later, the five-colored thundercloud, still dozens of zhang in size, violently churned before transforming into a five-colored thunder raven. Flapping its wings, it swooped down from high in the sky.
Li Qinghuan stood on the ground, his face pale and breathing heavily.
Watching the swooping five-colored thunder raven, he formed a sword seal. The void vibrated and distorted, as countless blue water vapor emerged, transforming into numerous blue flying swords.
"Go!"
Li Qinghuan formed another sword seal, and the dense blue flying swords shot directly towards the five-colored thunder raven, piercing its body.
With a rumbling sound, a burst of five-colored lightning engulfed Li Qinghuan's body.
A moment later, Li Qinghuan flew out from the five-colored lightning and landed before Li Tianhe.
Li Qinghuan's face was bloodless, and a vast, oceanic aura emanated from him. He had clearly advanced to the Integration Stage.
"Congratulations, Qinghuan!" Li Tianhe congratulated him.
The Li family currently had seven Integration Stage cultivators, which was a source of pride for the family, but also a significant burden. The cost of tribulation-crossing treasures alone was substantial.
Over the past ten thousand years, two of the Li family's Integration Stage cultivators had died under the Great Heavenly Tribulation, and one Integration Stage cultivator had perished while seeking treasure.
Fortunately, the Li family had successors, preventing them from falling into a state of decline.
"It's all thanks to the family's nurturing. By the way, how is Twelfth Uncle?" Li Qinghuan suddenly remembered something and asked nervously.
"He died under the Great Heavenly Tribulation. In another thousand-plus years, the Myriad Spirit Ruins will enter a period of weakness. At that time, we can enter the Myriad Spirit Ruins to search for treasure. If we obtain that item, our Great Heavenly Tribulation will be much easier to pass." Li Tianhe's face showed a look of yearning. He remembered something and continued, "By the way, the descendants of the Green Lotus Immortal Couple have arrived in the Azure Glaze Sea Region. You should consolidate your cultivation first! It won't be too late to meet them later."
Li Qinghuan responded with a sound of assent and agreed.
On Golden Raven Island, a secluded manor.
Wang Qingfeng, Dong Xueli, and Li Qingxue sat in a green stone pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.
"Madam Li, we have inconvenienced you for many years. It's time for us to depart," Wang Qingfeng said gravely.
They had stayed in the Sky Crow Archipelago for over three hundred years, befriending many Void Refinement cultivators. They occasionally went out to hunt demon beasts and collected many materials. The most precious among them were a Silver Gale Crystal, an Ice Soul Crystal, and a box of Heavenly Sound Sand.
During this time, Wang Qingfeng had refined two sixth-tier puppet beasts, in preparation for their trip to Myriad Poison Island.
The Witch Tribe cultivators seemed to have found what they were looking for and had withdrawn their personnel. High-ranking human cultivators had begun entering and exiting Myriad Poison Island.
As a result, they planned to travel to Myriad Poison Island to search for a sixth-tier tree demon.
The foundation of the Azure Water Immortal Apricot had been repaired, and it had resumed normal growth. However, the Wang family still possessed many valuable spirit herbs and fruit trees. If a sixth-tier wood demon crystal core was used for an array, it would somewhat aid their growth. Even if not used, storing it in the treasury would strengthen the family's foundation.
In the future, if the Wang family acquired even rarer spirit herbs and fruit trees, the wood demon crystal core might come in handy. The Myriad Spirit Bottle required thousands of years to produce a small amount of Myriad Spirit Jade Liquid, which was primarily used to cultivate rare spirit herbs and fruit trees.
Furthermore, Wang Changsheng's wood demon also needed high-tier wood demon crystal cores. Devouring high-tier wood demon crystal cores would be somewhat beneficial for its advancement.
Of course, more importantly, they aimed to break through bottlenecks. Dong Xueli's bottleneck showed no signs of loosening. Perhaps, during a life-or-death struggle, the bottleneck might loosen.
"Alright! The Witch Tribe cultivators seem to have found what they wanted and withdrawn their experts. However, you must still be very careful. Even Integration Stage cultivators can perish on Myriad Poison Island," Li Qingxue earnestly admonished them.
"Thank you for the reminder, Madam Li. We will be extra careful," Wang Qingfeng agreed, and he and Dong Xueli stood up to leave.
Leaving the market, Wang Qingfeng summoned a red flying boat. He boarded it, with Dong Xueli following closely behind.
He formed a magic seal, and the red flying boat immediately glowed brightly with red light. It soared into the sky and soon disappeared into the distant horizon.
The southeastern part of the Qianyuan Continent was a gathering place for the human race.
There were many human cultivators on the Qianyuan Continent, but the humans here had no Mahayana cultivators. The Sky Moon Race was the most powerful race on the Qianyuan Continent.
The Qianyuan Continent had over a hundred races. The human race was relatively weaker. Fortunately, the Ye family's cross-spiritual treasure ships occasionally passed through the Qianyuan Continent, collecting its specialties and transporting them to other places for sale.
In a sense, this was also a form of disguised protection. If the other races on the Qianyuan Continent wished to exterminate the human race, they would have to consider the existence of the Ye family, with the exception of the Sky Moon Race.
Generally, the Sky Moon Race would not personally participate in racial wars. However, the Sky Moon Race enjoyed seeing other races contend and frequently incited conflicts among other races.
Glazed Island was over five thousand li long and two thousand li wide. It was originally the stronghold of a small race. The human race had exterminated this small race and established a market here.
A green dragon boat, over a thousand zhang long and four hundred zhang wide, appeared on the sea surface. It swiftly sailed towards Glazed Island. A pattern of a nine-headed giant lion could be seen on its sails.
Wang Yingjie, Wang Mengbin, Bai Yuqi, Liu Hongxue, and Wang Zongyun stood on the deck, gazing at Glazed Island in the distance, their expressions solemn.
The Ice Lion had sailed for over four hundred years. It had finally arrived at the Qianyuan Continent.
The Qianyuan Continent currently faced a situation of one superpower and many strong forces. The superpower referred to the Sky Moon Race, while the strong forces referred to the Giant Race, Four-Eared Race, Flower Race, Ancient Sky Race, and Jade Yin Race.
Ancient giants roamed the barren lands of the Profound Spirit Continent, though their numbers were few. However, on the Qianyuan Continent, ancient giants constituted a race; while their population was smaller than other races, their individual strength was superior. The Four-Eared Race possessed acute hearing. The Flower Race excelled at manipulating plants and music, being skilled in singing and dancing. The Ancient Sky Race was cruel and bloodthirsty, possessing unique combined attack techniques. The Jade Yin Race's escape techniques were formidable, but their members struggled with reproduction.
The intelligence Wang Yingjie could gather was limited. The specific divine abilities of these races would only be known after interacting with them.
As newcomers, it was naturally impossible for them to immediately search for the Ephemeral Yuan Fruit. They needed to first understand the situation on the Qianyuan Continent.
A moment later, three streaks of light flew out from Glazed Island and stopped in mid-air.
As the lights faded, two men and one woman appeared.
The two men had identical features; one wore a red long gown, and the other a green cape. The woman had delicate features, a graceful figure, and wore a white long dress. All three were Integration Stage cultivators.
Ye Yiyan walked out of the cabin, a smile on her face.
"Madam Ye, long time no see." The white-dressed woman's tone was warm. From her words, they clearly knew each other.
"Fairy Lin, Fellow Daoist Song, you are too kind. I've told you many times there's no need for you to come out personally to greet us." Ye Yiyan smiled faintly.
"We mustn't forget the source of our blessings. If not for the Ye family's help, we would have died long ago. Madam Ye, please follow us."
The white-dressed woman and the two men led the way, and the Ice Lion followed.
A moment later, the Ice Lion arrived near Glazed Island. Wang Yingjie and the other passengers disembarked in an orderly line, entering Glazed Island. Ye Yiyan left with the white-dressed woman and the two men, while the Ice Lion remained docked at the shore of Glazed Island.
