Chapter 3236: Haitang Fusion

Apex of the Green Lotus

Demon Realm, Fiery Demon Continent.

On the Demon Python Mountain Range, Fang Mu stood atop a towering peak, his gaze fixed on the six-colored thunderclouds high above. His expression was solemn.

Ye Haitang was attempting to break through to the Integration Stage, which drew three bolts of six-colored divine lightning.

After a rumbling sound of thunder, a thick bolt of six-colored lightning tore through the sky, streaking like a meteor toward a sea of black mist.

The six-colored lightning vanished into the black mist without a sound. However, a significant portion of the black mist dispersed. Soon after, the second bolt of six-colored lightning struck, causing most of the black mist to dissipate.

Ye Haitang stood in a clearing, her face slightly pale. A shield shimmering with black light floated before her. The surface of the black shield featured nine ghastly skull heads, emitting intense demonic energy fluctuations.

After churning violently, the six-colored thunderclouds transformed into a six-colored thunder phoenix. With a gentle flap of its wings, it swooped down from high above.

Ye Haitang retrieved a formation disc that shimmered with black light. She cast several incantations into it, and the black mist churned violently, once again enveloping her.

The six-colored thunder phoenix plunged into the black mist, and a thick beam of six-colored lightning shot skyward, engulfing a large area. The ground trembled slightly.

After a moment, the lightning faded, and the black mist vanished. A massive crater, emitting black smoke, appeared on the ground. Ye Haitang lay within the crater, her aura weak, and several bones visible through her skin.

Fang Mu flew over, took out a black pill, and gave it to Ye Haitang.

Ye Haitang circulated her energy to refine the medicinal properties. An hour later, she slowly stood up, her face regaining a hint of color.

"I've finally reached the Integration Stage." Ye Haitang said with delight.

"If you hadn't insisted on returning to the East Glimmer Realm, you would have reached the Integration Stage much sooner," Fang Mu remarked dismissively.

Ye Haitang possessed great talent in array formations, even earning praise from a seventh-tier formation master at the Heavenly Demon Palace. Many Void Refining cultivators would ask Ye Haitang to set up formations. She never had to worry about cultivation resources and could even use formations to aid her own cultivation, progressing much faster than Fang Mu.

"Let's not dwell on that. I plan to recuperate for a while. If any demons ascend from the Black Luo Realm, bring them under our command immediately; we can use their services," Ye Haitang instructed.

She had supported several factions in the Black Luo Realm, helping their leaders ascend to the Demon Realm, in exchange for their obedience.

"Understood. You should focus on recuperating first," Fang Mu agreed.

Ye Haitang transformed into a black streak of light and departed. Shortly after, she appeared in a secret chamber over a hundred feet wide. On the walls hung three portraits: Wang Changyue, Ye Lin, and Ye Yutong.

Below the portraits was a black offering table with a black incense burner on it.

Ye Haitang lit a stick of sandalwood incense and placed it in the burner.

"Father, Mother, little brother, I've reached the Integration Stage. If I advance to the Mahayana Stage, I will definitely go to the Profound Sun Realm to find Uncle and Aunt," Ye Haitang murmured to herself.

Alone in a foreign land, she had few close friends in the Demon Realm. She dearly missed her life in the East Glimmer Realm. Back then, the Wang family was weak, but Ye Haitang had a happy childhood.

With her family by her side, no hardship felt truly hard. Now, alone in the Demon Realm, with many subordinates at her command and holding a high position, she was not happy.

Profound Sun Realm, Green Lotus Island.

Wang Ruyan sat in a stone pavilion, while Wang Zhongchen reported to her.

"Still no news?" Wang Ruyan frowned. Four hundred years had passed, and Wang Zhongchen still hadn't found any trace of the Lizard Tribe. She wasn't sure whether to attribute it to the Lizard Tribe's extreme caution or Wang Zhongchen's incompetence.

"No, we even lost many secret agents. Fortunately, Yongyue is safe," Wang Zhongchen sighed.

Just as Wang Ruyan was about to speak, Wang Moshan's voice came from outside: "Ancestral Elder, Chuanming has returned, and he has made a significant discovery."

"Come in and report immediately," Wang Ruyan instructed.

Wang Chuanming was indeed capable; he had made a significant discovery just by visiting the Azure Glass Sea Domain.

Soon, Wang Moshan and Wang Chuanming entered.

"Chuanming, what significant discovery have you made?" Wang Ruyan asked.

Wang Chuanming looked at Wang Zhongchen and said, "This matter is of great importance, Zhongchen, please withdraw."

Wang Zhongchen was slightly taken aback but said nothing, bowing and withdrawing.

"Ancestral Elder, the Sky Eye Tribe in the Azure Glass Sea Domain might have obtained a piece of Qiankun Glazed Stone." Wang Chuanming recounted the entire incident.

"Qiankun Glazed Stone!" Wang Ruyan's expression turned serious. Ever since the Wang family established itself in the Profound Sun Realm, they had been searching for the Qiankun Glazed Stone and Kan Yuan Jade, but there had been no news.

"Moshan, select ten individuals from Yonghao's descendants for focused cultivation. If any of his descendants show talent in artifact refining or talisman crafting, send them to Green Lotus Peak, and we will personally instruct them," Wang Ruyan instructed.

This was to acknowledge Wang Yonghao's contribution. Since the family's establishment, the Wang family had sacrificed many clansmen, and they had made significant contributions to its growth and development. So far, Wang Yonghao's contribution among the sacrificed clansmen was the greatest.

If they could also find Kan Yuan Jade and refine a Boundary-Breaking Plate, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan could even travel to other realms to seek Mahayana opportunities.

"Yes, Ancestral Elder," Wang Moshan agreed.

Wang Ruyan sent a sound transmission talisman to Wang Changsheng; this matter was too significant not to inform him.

Not long after, Wang Changsheng emerged, his expression grave.

"Qiankun Glazed Stone! Are you certain?" Wang Changsheng looked at Wang Chuanming and asked.

"There's a high probability, though I can't be 100% certain. One thing is for sure: Fairy Bingxi must have possessed a valuable treasure, otherwise, the Sky Eye Tribe cultivators wouldn't have ventured deep into human territory to kill her," Wang Chuanming stated honestly. Without concrete evidence, he dared not speak with absolute certainty.

"In that case, we should go ourselves! Regardless of whether there's a Qiankun Glazed Stone or not, we must kill Bian Hong to avenge Yonghao," Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice.

"Chuanming, go back and prepare. You'll depart with us after a while," Wang Ruyan instructed.

Wang Chuanming acknowledged, bowed, and withdrew.

"The Sky Eye Tribe is not weak. To be safe, let's consume the Tan Yuan Fruit. That way, it'll be more secure," Wang Ruyan suggested.

If they both had late-Integration Stage cultivation, there would be no problem unless a Mahayana cultivator intervened.

Wang Changsheng nodded, thinking the same.

Seven days later, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Chuanming departed from Green Lotus Island. Wang Tun Tian, Wang Chan, Wang Chan, and others also followed.

Wang Changsheng brought along several potent treasures, including the Soul Devouring Blade, Illusion Moon Mirror, and Spirit-Breaking Shuttle, showing his seriousness regarding the Sky Eye Tribe.

Upon reaching Tianhai Market, Wang Changsheng saw the Han family's Spirit-Traversing Treasure Ship. A line of cultivators queued to buy tickets and board.

Wang Chuanming bought three tickets, and the three of them boarded the ship smoothly.

After most of a day, the Spirit-Traversing Treasure Ship set sail, disappearing into the vast ocean.
