Chapter 3282: The True Lord of the Four Seas Transcends Tribulation

The Stone Cocoon Tribe's territory is substantial, spanning over two quadrillion li. This figure doesn't even include territories occupied by other races. The combined area of the Azure Glaze Sea and the Xuanling Continent is likely smaller than the territories controlled by these two major tribes.

Besides its vast area, the Thousand Spirit Continent also boasts abundant mineral and demon beast resources. It contains multiple eighth-tier mineral veins, all of which are controlled by the two major tribes. Some dangerous areas are even home to eighth-tier demon beasts.

It's no wonder the Thousand Spirit Continent is hailed as the cultivation holy land of the Xuanyang Realm. Human cultivators are scattered across various locations on the Thousand Spirit Continent, having established numerous factions; they are too dispersed to be accurately counted.

Most human cultivators are concentrated in the eastern part of the Thousand Spirit Continent. The Qin family is the most powerful cultivation family in this region, while the strongest sect is the Sky Treasure Sect. The Sky Treasure Sect has no fewer than seven Integration Stage cultivators, is proficient in artifact refining, and controls multiple seventh-tier mineral veins.

The Thousand Spirit Continent is home to numerous races, leading to frequent conflicts. In the past ten thousand years, large-scale racial wars have erupted seven times. These were primarily conflicts among smaller tribes, as the Shadow Charm Tribe and the Stone Cocoon Tribe rarely intervened personally. Even when they did, they would control the conflict within a certain scope.

The smaller tribes on the Thousand Spirit Continent are not weak. The stronger ones, like the Xi Tribe, Tianxin Tribe, Evil Eye Tribe, and Cang Tribe, each have no fewer than three Mahayana Stage cultivators. Not only are they exceptionally powerful, but these four tribes also control territories spanning millions of billions of li, and possess a large amount of cultivation resources.

"I hope that one day, our family can also dominate a region, just like the Stone Cocoon Tribe," Wang Xiukun said, his face filled with longing.

According to ancient texts, the Stone Cocoon Tribe was originally an insignificant small tribe, not even boasting a single Mahayana Stage cultivator. However, upon discovering a newly formed small world and with the emergence of a figure like the Stone Cocoon Divine Lord, they continuously grew and prospered, eventually achieving their current status.

Wang Qingshan nodded, saying earnestly, "If we work hard together, we can definitely achieve it."

Every major power grows from humble beginnings. Their ancestors paid countless prices to accumulate their foundations, with every inch of land bought with blood.

Wang Xiukun made multiple copies of the content from the jade slips he purchased, providing one to each clan member to help them understand the situation on the Thousand Spirit Continent.

"Xiukun," Wang Qingshan instructed, "you are responsible for gathering information. Pay attention to any news regarding the Thousand Spirit Token."

As one of the deputy hall masters of the Dark Hall, Wang Xiukun was already responsible for gathering intelligence, so assigning him to inquire about the Thousand Spirit Token was part of his regular duties.

"Yes, Patriarch Qingshan," Wang Xiukun responded.

Wang Xiukun agreed. Several of the accompanying Void Refinement cultivators were from the Dark Hall, all of them skilled at gathering intelligence.

After giving a few more instructions, Wang Qingshan walked towards a nearby pavilion.

Long Qingfeng, Wang Ruyi, and other Void Refinement cultivators entered their respective rooms to examine the jade slips Wang Xiukun had purchased and further understand the Thousand Spirit Continent.

Since they would be staying on the Thousand Spirit Continent for a long time anyway, there was no need to rush.

Xuanling Continent, Green Lotus Island.

In the meeting hall, Wang Moshan sat in the main seat with a solemn expression, while Wang Yihong and over a hundred other clan elders were seated on either side.

"Our family currently has 320,000 cultivators, including 14 Integration Stage cultivators, 242 Void Refinement Stage cultivators, and 7,537 Soul Transformation Stage cultivators."

The Wang family is now strong and well-equipped. It boasts 19 Integration Stage cultivators: Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingfeng, Wang Qingcheng, Sun Yuejiao, Dong Xueli, Wang Mengbin, Bai Yuqi, Wang Yingjie, Liu Hongxue, Wang Mousen, Wang Jiye, Wang Zongque, Wang Zongyun, Wang Xiangrong, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Yidao, and Duan Tongtian. This count doesn't even include Wang Tunian, Wang Chan, and others.

In recent years, the Wang family has been consolidating its gains from past wars, and the number of high-tier cultivators within the clan has gradually increased. They can now be considered the leading cultivation family on the Xuanling Continent.

Of course, the number of Integration Stage cultivators in Zhenhai Palace has grown even faster, approaching forty, with Cheng Zhenyu and Zheng Nan already having advanced to that stage.

These fourteen Integration Stage cultivators did not include Duan Tongtian, Wang Tunian, Wang Lin, Wang Chan, and others.

With the Lizard Tribe annihilated and its territory divided among three other tribes, the human race's strength has increased significantly. After several millennia of recuperation, the human race has fully recovered its vitality, and its overall strength is now greater than before.

Xuanqingzi taught Jin Jiao and Yin Qing a lesson, and now the Golden Scale Tribe and the Silver Shark Tribe are very well-behaved. The Fiery Essence Tribe and Yaksha Tribe have also not made any excessive moves.

Wang Moshan nodded. He had already passed four great heavenly tribulations, and his fifth was not far off. Seeing the family developing so well, he, as the family head, also felt proud.

"We currently occupy five seventh-tier spirit veins, which can sustain the normal cultivation of our Integration Stage cultivators. However, the number of seventh-tier mineral veins is relatively small, leading to significant financial pressure."

As the number of Integration Stage cultivators in the family increases, so does the family's financial pressure. Fortunately, there is a large number of skilled personnel, so the pressure isn't overwhelming yet.

Wang Yongqian and other clan members conduct business in the Azure Glaze Sea, earning spirit stones and collecting cultivation resources along the way. However, they still need to explore new sources of income.

Wang Moshan plans to dispatch several Integration Stage clan members to the Azure Glaze Sea. Firstly, this is to escort and protect clan members already there. Secondly, it is to better collect cultivation resources, especially tribulation materials, which are urgently needed by the Wang family.

The great heavenly tribulations faced by Integration Stage cultivators are quite powerful. With the Wang family's current strength, clan members can still pass their first three great heavenly tribulations, but it will be difficult thereafter.

Wang Qingfeng and other newly advanced Integration Stage cultivators are not very strong, so they will not travel too far for opportunities for now. However, if there are extremely precious cultivation resources elsewhere, that would be a different matter.

"Dispatch more personnel," Wang Moshan instructed, "and pay attention to the whereabouts of high-tier tribulation materials."

"Yes, Patriarch," Wang Yihong and the others replied.

Wang Yihong and the others readily agreed and left one after another.

On Purple Crystal Island, Wang Changsheng stood on a steep peak, gazing at the two-colored thunderclouds in the distance, his expression solemn.

During a treasure hunt in a secret realm years ago, Wang Qingxiao obtained the remnant soul of the Four Seas True Monarch.

Wang Changsheng took over a thousand years to find a suitable physical body for the Four Seas True Monarch, allowing him to possess it and cultivate anew. He also gave him the Heavenly Soul Nether Lotus to strengthen his remnant soul.

Wang Changsheng wouldn't have been so generous if he hadn't obtained many valuable items from Yi Xin.

The Four Seas True Monarch was undergoing his fourth great heavenly tribulation. The fourth great heavenly tribulation for an Integration Stage cultivator would summon nine two-colored divine lightning bolts; one shouldn't assume that because it's two-colored divine lightning, it can be easily overcome.

Soul Transformation Stage cultivators might also summon two-colored divine lightning when advancing to the Void Refinement Stage, but its power is far inferior to the two-colored divine lightning summoned by an Integration Stage cultivator's fourth great heavenly tribulation.

The same divine ability, when cast by cultivators of different realms, will exhibit vastly different power.

A rumbling sound of thunder rang out as a thick, two-colored lightning bolt streaked across the sky, striking a small valley below.

A slender young man in a blue robe stood in the small valley. A massive silver light barrier enveloped him, its surface adorned with a lightning pattern.

The blue-robed youth was precisely the Four Seas True Monarch, who had undergone rebirth through possession.

The two-colored lightning struck the silver light barrier, emitting a muffled thud. The lightning exploded, and a dazzling burst of two-colored lightning engulfed the silver light barrier.

The two-colored thunderclouds churned violently, and a massive two-colored lightning centipede flew out from within, diving downwards.

With a colossal roar, the ground trembled slightly, and dust filled the air.

Not long after, a long blue arc of light flew out from the two-colored lightning, landing before Wang Changsheng. It was indeed the Four Seas True Monarch.
