Five centuries had passed in the blink of an eye. On Amethyst Island, Mystic Spirit Continent.
Wang Changsheng stood atop a steep peak, gazing at the thunderclouds high above. Rumbling thunder filled the air, as bolts of silver lightning struck down relentlessly.
Wang Ruyan was undergoing her second Grand Heavenly Tribulation. With the help of formations and treasures, passing it was not an issue, and she didn't even need to activate the Thunder Transformation Array.
A short while later, the thundercloud was still several dozen zhang in size.
Wang Ruyan stood at the summit of a steep peak, her face slightly pale. A small blue umbrella, its spiritual light dim, floated above her head. Faint cracks were visible on both its surface and ribs.
Bai Yuqi had helped set up the seventh-tier formation, which significantly eased Wang Ruyan's tribulation. The seventh-tier formation had blocked numerous lightning strikes.
A deafening thunderclap rang out, and the thundercloud churned violently, transforming into a colossal silver tiger, its body enveloped in countless silver electrical arcs.
The silver thunder-tiger let out a resounding roar and quickly dove down from the sky.
Wang Ruyan's expression hardened. Her right hand glowed with dazzling blue light, and she slapped the air. Accompanied by a burst of ethereal music, a gigantic blue palm covered in musical notes flashed forth to meet it.
The silver thunder-tiger collided with the blue giant palm like an egg hitting a rock. With a colossal boom, a massive silver lightning ball flared, and the ground trembled slightly.
A moment later, the silver lightning dissipated. The peak had vanished, and Wang Ruyan stood within a massive, smoke-emitting crater. A faint silver light barrier enveloped her body, and her face was slightly pale.
She cast a spell, and the silver light barrier transformed into a Thunder Transformation Talisman, which landed in her hand. The talisman's spiritual light was slightly dim.
Wang Ruyan let out a light breath. The power of her second Grand Heavenly Tribulation had increased significantly. However, with the Thunder Transformation Talisman and a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure for defense, she would have no problem passing even her third Grand Heavenly Tribulation.
Wang Yihong flew from a distance, landing before Wang Changsheng with a solemn expression.
"Ancestor! Our clansmen in the lower realm sent a message: Sword Sovereign Four Seasons' clone has descended to the lower realm and found our family. Our clansmen didn't dare let him onto Azure Lotus Island and are requesting our instructions."
Wang Yihong reported. "Sword Sovereign Four Seasons' clone has descended to the lower realm!"
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were both astonished. They had frequently inquired about Sword Sovereign Four Seasons' whereabouts but had never received any news. They never expected his clone would descend to the lower realm and actively contact them.
Over the years, several disciples from the Grand One Immortal Sect had ascended to the Mysterious Sun Realm, landing on the Wang family's Flying Spirit Platform and joining the Grand One Immortal Sect.
"Go summon Su Qingyun, or have the Grand One Immortal Sect send someone. We will meet Sword Sovereign Four Seasons together."
"Fellow Daoist Su has already arrived at Azure Lotus Island and is waiting in the discussion hall," Wang Yihong reported truthfully.
Wang Changsheng nodded. "Let's go back."
Back on Azure Lotus Island, Wang Changsheng summoned Su Qingyun, and together they went to Dongli Hall.
A scholarly-looking golden-robed male illusion floated above the formation. Wang Changsheng instructed, "Little Friend Su, how can we verify Sword Sovereign Four Seasons' identity?"
"Grand Ancestor left behind a handwritten scroll of notes, detailing some events from his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, which outsiders shouldn't know."
Su Qingyun briefly explained the contents of the notes.
"Contact this person immediately. If he can answer correctly, then let him in. I want to speak with him personally."
"Yes, Ancestor!" The humanoid illusion replied, then dissipated.
A short while later, the formation vibrated violently, and a clean-faced, green-robed youth's illusion appeared above it.
"I am Sword Sovereign Four Seasons. May I ask who among you is True Lord Taihao?"
The young illusion asked. Through the formation, he couldn't discern Wang Changsheng's exact cultivation.
"I am True Lord Taihao. After all these years, we have finally made contact, Fellow Daoist Li," Wang Changsheng said with a smile.
"Disciple Su Qingyun pays respects to Grand Ancestor." Su Qingyun knelt down, his expression filled with excitement.
After all these years, he had finally made contact with his Grand Ancestor.
"I am currently in the Heavenly Demon Realm, at the late Integration stage. Previously, my clones descended to the Nine Demon Realms, attempting to return to the Dongli Realm, but all failed. This time, I finally succeeded."
Sword Sovereign Four Seasons said with emotion.
Back then, he had accidentally arrived in the Nine Demon Realms, and returning was extremely difficult. When his clones descended and traveled through other realms, they either encountered realm storms or, after passing through, appeared in forbidden lands or ancient battlefields, making it impossible to return to the Dongli Realm.
This was his seventh attempt at sending a clone to the lower realm, and he had finally succeeded in returning to the Dongli Realm.
With the Wang family's protection, the Grand One Immortal Sect had developed very well. They had also established a Grand One Immortal Sect in the Mysterious Sun Realm.
"Grand Ancestor, it's thanks to Senior Wang that our Grand One Immortal Sect has continued to exist until now. Several major disasters erupted in the lower realm, and Senior Wang helped your disciple establish a sect in the Mysterious Sun Realm."
Su Qingyun reported truthfully.
"It was merely a small effort. Back then, the Grand One Immortal Sect also provided our Wang family with a lot of assistance," Wang Changsheng said with a smile.
"However, my true body is in the Heavenly Demon Realm. The Dongli Realm is not a direct subsidiary realm of the Heavenly Demon Realm, so it's difficult for me to look after the Grand One Immortal Sect. I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Wang in the future. If fate allows, we will meet again."
Sword Sovereign Four Seasons said.
"Fellow Daoist Li, have you established a sect in the Heavenly Demon Realm?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.
Establishing a human sect in a demon-dominated realm is extraordinarily difficult.
Sword Sovereign Four Seasons nodded. "Yes, I established the Grand One Palace. We currently have twelve Integration cultivators, I believe. We have a small reputation on the Black Tortoise Continent in the Heavenly Demon Realm."
Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. Sword Sovereign Four Seasons had ascended to the Heavenly Demon Realm, established a sect, and developed it to the point of having twelve Integration cultivators. His capabilities were truly remarkable!
"Our Wang family also has a small reputation on the Mystic Spirit Continent in the Mysterious Sun Realm. If Fellow Daoist Li can come to the Mysterious Sun Realm, you might consider visiting the Mystic Spirit Continent. Oh, and has Fellow Daoist Li heard of Bai Ling'er?"
Wang Changsheng extended an invitation and inquired about Bai Ling'er's situation.
"She is a core member of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan on the Heavenly Eagle Continent. It is said she ascended from a lower realm. How do you know this woman, Fellow Daoist Wang?" Sword Sovereign Four Seasons asked, puzzled.
"Bai Ling'er also originated from the Dongli Realm. I heard she accidentally drifted into the Nine Demon Realms, and I presumed she ascended to the Heavenly Demon Realm," Wang Changsheng explained.
"I see. The Nine-Tailed Fox clan has declined significantly and is not as powerful as before. However, they still possess Mahayana cultivators, and the Nine-Tailed Fox clan is proficient in illusions. Bai Ling'er is a rising star among them and has a certain reputation within the clan. I'm not entirely clear on the specific details of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan; I've only visited the Heavenly Eagle Continent briefly."
Sword Sovereign Four Seasons introduced.
"If I have the opportunity, I will certainly visit the Mysterious Sun Realm. There's nothing else major. Let's leave it at that for now! The main reason I contacted you this time, Fellow Daoist Wang, was to express my gratitude."
"You are too kind, Fellow Daoist Li. It was merely my duty," Wang Changsheng replied humbly, treating others as they treated him.
"Until we meet again, if fate allows!"
After speaking, the green-robed youth's illusion dissipated, and the golden-robed male illusion reappeared in its place. "Look after the Grand One Immortal Sect, and see Fellow Daoist Li off with due courtesy."
"Yes, Ancestor." The golden-robed male illusion replied, then vanished.
Wang Changsheng and Su Qingyun walked out of Dongli Hall, and Su Qingyun's expression was agitated.
"Little Friend Su, do not spread news of this matter to avoid unnecessary trouble. Should you require assistance from our Wang family in the future, do not hesitate to ask."
Wang Changsheng said gently.
Given Sword Sovereign Four Seasons' strength, reaching the Mahayana stage should not be an issue. Perhaps in the future, Sword Sovereign Four Seasons will even come to the Mysterious Sun Realm.
Su Qingyun readily agreed, bowed, and withdrew.
