Chapter 3145: Three Hundred Years (Not Available Today)

At the Li family residence on Golden Crow Island.

In the Guest Hall, Li Yunyao sat in the main seat, while Wang Qingshan and others sat on either side, all smiling. After more than a century of warfare, the conflict had finally ended. Li Qinghuan had invited Wang Qingshan and his companions to Golden Crow Island to enjoy their hospitality as guests.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, please make yourselves at home on Golden Crow Island. If you wish to travel through the Azure Glaze Sea, Qinghuan will accompany you. We will inform you immediately when the Han family's Cross-Spirit Treasure Ship sets sail.” Li Yunyao said sincerely.

Wang Qingshan and Duan Tongtian had displayed immense strength during the war, especially the Wang family's Soul Suppression Roar, which had repeatedly interrupted the sorcerers' spellcasting, leaving a deep impression.

“Then we shall impose,” Wang Qingshan agreed. Having Li Qinghuan accompany them would make things much more convenient.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, there’s no need to be so polite. You are honored guests of our Li family; it is our duty to host you,” Li Qinghuan said with a chuckle.

After some casual conversation, Wang Qingshan and his companions departed to settle temporarily on Golden Crow Island.

Three centuries passed swiftly, like a white steed galloping by.

On the Profound Spirit Continent, Tianji Island was one of the Wang family's seven satellite islands. In the island's northwest corner stood a blue platform, over three hundred zhang tall, intricately carved with mysterious spirit patterns, emitting astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations.

It was the Flying Spirit Platform! Lower realm cultivators who reached the Spirit Transformation Mid-stage could use the Flying Spirit Grand Formation to ascend to the Profound Sun Realm, and the Flying Spirit Platform would guide them to this location.

A handsome young man in a green robe sat cross-legged near the Flying Spirit Platform, enveloped in a layer of azure glow, his eyes closed. This was Wang Rubin, an early Spirit Transformation cultivator and Cui Yao's great-grandson.

The Wang family placed great importance on Tianji Island's security, stationing three Void Refinement cultivators and over a hundred clan members there. The island also had a teleportation array that could directly transport them to Green Lotus Island. The three Void Refinement cultivators were in perpetual seclusion, so Wang Rubin was responsible for guarding the Flying Spirit Platform. Normally, there was little to do, allowing him to cultivate in peace. If someone ascended, it would be considered a meritorious deed.

The Flying Spirit Platform began to shake violently, countless mysterious runes appearing and shimmering with spiritual light. Wang Rubin's heart jumped. The glow around him dissipated, and he opened his eyes. A thick beam of spiritual light shot skyward. As the light faded, a slender young man in a red robe appeared, his clothes embroidered with a green lotus pattern.

“I am Wang Guangyan. May I be so bold as to ask if this is Tianji Island?” the red-robed youth asked politely, his expression serious.

“Precisely. You're one of us, no need to be polite. My name is Wang Rubin, and by generation, I am your uncle,” Wang Rubin greeted him with a smile.

“Uncle Rubin, please inform the Family Head and ask him to come here. I have an urgent matter to report. Ancestor Yihong would also suffice,” Wang Guangyan said gravely.

Wang Rubin was slightly taken aback; it was the first time he had encountered such a situation. “Ancestor Yuling is a Void Refinement cultivator. Whatever it is, you can report it to her first. It wouldn't be too late to contact the Family Head or Ancestor Yihong afterward,” Wang Rubin suggested.

Wang Guangyan shook his head firmly, saying, “No, this matter is extremely urgent. I must speak with the Family Head or Ancestor Yihong in person.”

Wang Rubin frowned, about to say something, when a surprised voice rang out: “Guangyan, you've finally arrived! Is Yulan behind you?” As soon as the words fell, Wang Yihong descended from the sky, landing on the bluestone plaza.

“She is right behind me. Several elders are with her, preparing to ascend alongside her. They have prepared many defensive treasures for this,” Wang Guangyan said solemnly.

“I understand. Rubin, take Guangyan back to Green Lotus Island. Greet the clan members guarding the Eastern Hedge Hall and inform the lower realm clan members to proceed according to plan,” Wang Yihong instructed.

Wang Yulan possessed a Nirvana Physique and had cultivated for over four hundred years, having long since reached the Spirit Transformation Mid-stage. Several clan elders had stayed in the lower realm to protect her, with Wang Guangyan ascending first to scout the path. Even with the Flying Spirit Grand Formation and the Flying Spirit Platform, there was a slight chance of encountering an inter-realm storm during ascension, which could lead to death. However, the probability was very low. The Wang family wouldn't have placed such importance on another clan member, but Wang Yulan was the family's second spiritual physique holder, making her extremely significant.

“Yes, Family Head,” Wang Rubin agreed and left with Wang Guangyan.

Not long after, Wang Yuling and Wang Shenyan arrived. They were unaware of what had transpired, and Wang Yihong had no intention of elaborating. Genius talents are easily stifled; secrecy was paramount.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Flying Spirit Platform vibrated again. All the runes brightened, and a dazzling spiritual light shot skyward. As the light dissipated, two men and one woman appeared. The woman wore a long red dress, with cherry-red lips, a delicate nose, bright eyes, sparkling teeth, and her hair styled in a high cloud bun. A pair of charming dimples were visible on her oval face. This was Wang Yulan, possessing the Nirvana Physique.

She began cultivating at age six, reached Foundation Establishment at ten, formed her Golden Core before forty, achieved Nascent Soul at one hundred ten, entered the Spirit Transformation stage at two hundred seventy, and reached Spirit Transformation Mid-stage at four hundred. She was currently the fastest cultivator in the Wang family, bar none. Her rapid cultivation speed was not only due to her spiritual physique but also the significant resources invested by the Wang family.

After her spiritual physique was detected, fifteen Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Wang family personally protected her, meticulously teaching her various skills such as alchemy, talismans, formations, artifact crafting, beast taming, wine brewing, and cultivation of spiritual plants. She had a certain talent for talisman crafting and a strong interest in it. She had learned from a fifth-tier talisman master since childhood, and her talisman crafting skills improved rapidly. Most spiritual physique holders did not master the four arts of cultivation, making Wang Yulan's ability to become a fifth-tier talisman master extremely rare. Among the spiritual physique holders known to the Wang family, Miaode was a talisman master, Ye Xuanji was an artifact craftsman, while most other spiritual physique holders were primarily known for their fast cultivation speed and powerful strength.

“Yulan greets Ancestor Yihong,” Wang Yulan bowed gracefully. The two elders also bowed, their expressions filled with excitement.

“Good, good, good. Come with me! Yuling, their ascension is a top family secret. Do not disclose it,” Wang Yihong instructed, then departed with Wang Yulan and the two others.

Wang Yuling and Wang Shenyan exchanged bewildered glances, full of confusion. Do not ask about what you are not meant to know; such was the family rule.

Green Lotus Island, Green Lotus Peak.

Wang Yihong and the four others stood at the entrance of a vast estate. Wang Yihong sent a sound transmission talisman, his expression excited. Shortly after, the estate gates opened, and Wang Lin emerged, inviting them inside. Led by Wang Lin, they arrived at a secluded courtyard where Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat smiling in a stone pavilion.

“Greetings, Ancestor,” Wang Yihong and the four others bowed respectfully.

Wang Changsheng's gaze fell upon Wang Yulan, and he nodded approvingly, saying, “It seems even without the Flying Spirit Grand Formation, you could cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Late-stage.”

It was difficult for lower realm cultivators to reach the Spirit Transformation Late-stage. Besides innate talent, resources were also crucial. The Wang family now controlled six lower realms. As Wang Yulan was a spiritual physique holder, the resources provided by the family would be sufficient for her to cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Late-stage; it was merely a matter of time.
