Chapter 3265: Millennium

Green Lotus Peak

Wang Chan took out a miniature nascent soul, affixed with a silver talisman, and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

The Lizard Clan had planned for this for over 20,000 years. During this time, many of their spies were exposed, but only Guo Yulin survived. The Lizard Clan provided Guo Yulin with cultivation resources, even giving him a Nine-Flame Dragon Spirit Fruit, which allowed his cultivation speed to surpass that of most of the Guo family's descendants. Naturally, the Lizard Clan arranged for Guo Yulin and his clansmen to discover an ancient cultivator's cave, which helped dispel the suspicions of the Guo family's high-ranking members.

To fully control Guo Yulin, the Lizard Clan forcibly brought him back to their stronghold after he advanced to the Integration Stage. They only trusted him after he left one-third of his primordial spirit with them. Over the years, Guo Yulin had done many things for the Lizard Clan, including helping to capture the Five Yin Maidens and collecting Jade Soul Crystals. Guo Yulin claimed to his clansmen that he was collecting Jade Soul Crystals to refine soul treasures; however, he only managed to gather two, both of which he submitted to the Lizard Clan.

Wang Changsheng took the two storage rings, swept them with his divine sense, and nodded in satisfaction. Wang Ruyan performed a soul search on the miniature nascent soul and also nodded.

"You've done well. This is the cultivation method for the first twenty-one layers of the 'Myriad Demon True Scripture'. Take it and cultivate!" Wang Changsheng took out two green jade slips and handed them to Wang Chuan and Wang Chan. If they were fortunate enough to advance to the Mahayana stage, he would then give them the subsequent cultivation methods.

Wang Chuan and Wang Chan expressed their gratitude, bowed, and withdrew.

Wang Changsheng whistled, and Wang Tunian, with his belly protruding, walked out of a small courtyard. He gave Wang Changsheng a simple, hearty smile and said, "What are your orders, master?"

"Wang Zhu, come in," Wang Changsheng instructed.

Hearing this, Wang Zhu dared to enter, his expression respectful.

"You eliminated Guo Yulin. This reward of resources is for you. We reward those who achieve merit and punish those who err." Wang Changsheng took out a golden storage ring and tossed it to Wang Zhu.

Wang Zhu took the storage ring, his face full of fawning delight. "It is this old servant's good fortune to serve the master."

"Tunian, I'm entrusting him to you. Arrange a dwelling for him. Tunian has been with me since he was young, so his words are my words, understand?" Wang Changsheng said, pointing to Wang Tunian.

"This old servant understands." Wang Zhu nodded obediently and withdrew with Wang Tunian.

"Husband, you and Qingfeng should craft the Boundary-Breaking Plate! Bring the Profound Sky Bloodvine and Profound Sky Immortal Vine up as soon as possible, to avoid future complications," Wang Ruyan suggested. The Lizard Clan had produced many seventh-tier talisman masters, possessed various methods for refining seventh-tier talismans, and had inherited the knowledge of seventh-tier formation masters, all of which bolstered the Wang family's foundation. Of course, specialties have their own domains; even if the Wang family had a seventh-tier formation master, there would still be a certain gap compared to a seventh-tier formation master from the Seven Stars Sect.

The Lizard Clan's formation inheritance wasn't particularly powerful; otherwise, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan wouldn't have been able to infiltrate so easily. If the Lizard Clan had been renowned for its formations, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan would have found it very difficult to eliminate Yi Xin and the others. With the Myriad Spirit Coffin and Myriad Spirit Map, cultivating spirit herbs became much easier for the Wang family. Among their acquisitions, the "Myriad Wood Profound Art" is a wood-attribute cultivation method that Yu Hui can practice, and the family's spirit plant cultivators can also cultivate it. However, Foundation Establishment cultivators can only obtain the cultivation methods for the first six layers, while Nascent Soul cultivators can only obtain the methods for the first twelve layers.

Wang Changsheng nodded, took out a blue communication disk, infused it with a magic art, and instructed, "Qingfeng, come to Green Lotus Peak. We'll refine the Boundary-Breaking Plate together."

"Understood, Father. I'll be right there," Wang Qingfeng replied.

Shortly after, Wang Qingfeng arrived at Green Lotus Peak. Wang Changsheng and Wang Qingfeng entered a secret chamber. The stone walls of the chamber were inscribed with numerous red runes, and the temperature inside was alarmingly high. Wang Changsheng took out the artifact refining materials, placed them on the ground, and began refining a seventh-tier puppet beast. Previously, they had collaborated many times to refine sixth-tier puppet beasts; this time, they were to refine a seventh-tier puppet beast.

Wang Changsheng picked up a light blue ore, tossed it into the air, and expelled Lapis Lazuli Ice Flame from his mouth, enveloping the blue ore. Wang Qingfeng picked up a golden jade stone, tossed it into the air, and expelled a stream of crimson flame from his mouth, enveloping the golden jade stone. As time passed, both the blue ore and the golden jade stone showed signs of melting.

Clouddrift Island, Zhenhai Palace.

In the Qiantu Hall, Fang Ming was reporting to Chen Yueying, whose gaze was grim. "What? Junior Nephew Liu and the others' soul lanterns have all extinguished?" Chen Yueying frowned. She had originally intended to send Liu Qingfeng and others to Xuanguang Continent to find Ye Xuanji and rekindle their acquaintance, but unexpectedly, Liu Qingfeng and the others' soul lanterns had extinguished one after another.

Fang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, it's very likely the Bloodshadow Clan's doing. They must know we sent people to the lower realms."

With dozens of lower realms in turmoil, it was impossible for the Bloodshadow Clan not to know that Zhenhai Palace had sent people down. The Bloodshadow Clan's power in Xuanguang Continent was not weak. If the Bloodshadow Clan targeted Liu Qingfeng and the others, they would indeed be in significant trouble.

"Never mind for now. If there's an opportunity later, I'll make a trip to Xuanguang Continent myself. If the Bloodshadow Clan truly did this, they absolutely won't be spared." Chen Yueying sighed. Xuan Qingzi had left Xuantian Continent, and Heavenly River Sword Venerable was in seclusion for cultivation, making it genuinely impossible for Chen Yueying to leave.

"Alright, you can go and attend to your duties. Don't disturb my cultivation unless it's something major. I intend to seclude myself for a period of intensive cultivation," Chen Yueying instructed. Cultivation was fundamental, so she planned to seclude herself for some time. Fang Ming acknowledged, bowed, and withdrew.

Time flew by like a white colt galloping past a crevice. A millennium quickly passed.

Green Lotus Island, Green Lotus Peak.

In a secret chamber, Wang Changsheng and Wang Qingfeng sat cross-legged on futons, their gazes fixed on the Green Lotus Spirit Refining Cauldron, with numerous artifact refining materials laid out beside them. After a while, Wang Changsheng changed his magic art, infusing it into the cauldron. The lid flew open, and a silver-glowing magic disk flew out, its surface shimmering with runes and radiating astonishing spiritual energy.

"It's finally refined!" Wang Changsheng was overjoyed.

He and Wang Qingfeng had jointly refined a seventh-tier puppet beast and a top-grade Connecting Heaven Spirit Treasure before they began refining the Boundary-Breaking Plate. They successfully refined the Boundary-Breaking Plate, which could open a passage to the lower realms, allowing them to send clansmen down to retrieve the Profound Sky Immortal Vine and Profound Sky Bloodvine.

"This is great, Father, we succeeded!" Wang Qingfeng's expression was excited. This was the second top-grade Connecting Heaven Spirit Treasure they had refined. It was also thanks to obtaining the artifact refining insights of Hundred Puppets Monarch that Wang Changsheng's artifact refining skill had greatly improved, as he had participated in refining cross-realm treasure ships and exchanged knowledge with many other artifact refiners.

"You've worked hard, Qingfeng. Go back and rest! I'll send someone to handle the remaining matters," Wang Changsheng instructed. Wang Qingfeng acknowledged, stood up, and left.

Wang Changsheng took out a communication disk, infused it with a magic art, and instructed, "Moushan, have your clone come here."

"Yes, Old Ancestor," Wang Moushan's voice came from the communication disk.

Before they refined the Boundary-Breaking Plate, Wang Moushan had created a clone, allowing it to cultivate wood-attribute techniques and meticulously nurturing it, preparing it to descend to the lower realms to collect the Profound Sky Immortal Vine.
