Chapter 3290: Square Wood Combination (None Today)

Back on Qinglian Peak, Wang Changsheng told Wang Ruyan about the incident.

“Bai Linger is with the Nine-Tailed Clan on Tianying Continent! With a Mahayana cultivator protecting her, and given her aptitude, reaching the Integration stage shouldn't be a problem,” Wang Ruyan analyzed.

Wang Changsheng nodded. “It's surprising that Sword Sovereign Four Seasons established a sect in the Celestial Demon Realm. That's much harder than us establishing a family in Xuanyang Realm. He’s still longing to return to Dongli Realm, so he must be a nostalgic person. It's fortunate that we've looked after the Taiyi Immortal Sect all these years and even helped Su Qingyun establish it. If we meet again in the future, we can be friends.”

“Yidao has already advanced to the mid-Integration stage, so we can now consider leaving Xuanling Continent and heading to Xuanguang Continent,” Wang Ruyan said, getting to the point.

“You just completed your Great Heavenly Tribulation. You should recuperate for a while first. There’s no rush,” Wang Changsheng suggested.

Wang Tun Tian walked in, his expression serious. “Master, Mengli is attempting to break through to the Integration stage.”

Years ago, Wang Qingcheng killed a low-grade seventh-tier mirage beast in the barren lands. This beast had inherited the mirage dragon bloodline and was skilled in illusions. Its demon core was given to Wang Mengli, along with spirit fruits and elixirs like the Mengli Fruit, which significantly accelerated Wang Mengli's cultivation speed.

“Let’s go, we’ll take a look.” Wang Changsheng strode outside. He and Wang Tun Tian arrived at Yaoguang Island, where they saw a mass of seven-colored thunderclouds. The clouds churned violently, accompanied by a deafening roar, as a thick, seven-colored lightning bolt tore through the sky, striking downwards.

“Seven-colored divine lightning!” Wang Changsheng’s expression hardened. As expected of a true spirit descendant.

Fortunately, he had given Wang Mengli the Lightning Transformation Array, so there shouldn't be any issues.

In a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, Wang Mengli’s expression was solemn. A huge silver light barrier enveloped her, its surface adorned with a lightning pattern.

The seven-colored lightning struck the silver light barrier, instantly bursting apart. Silver lightning enveloped Wang Mengli’s figure. Soon, a second seven-colored lightning bolt struck, even thicker than the first.

Rumbling thunder resounded as successive seven-colored lightning bolts struck down, illuminating the area with dazzling seven-colored light.

After the seventh seven-colored lightning bolt struck, the seven-colored thunderclouds violently churned, transforming into a gigantic seven-colored lightning python that dove down from high altitude.

With a loud crash, the seven-colored lightning python plunged into the seven-colored lightning, which intensified greatly. The ground shook violently, and dust permeated the air.

Before long, a deafening dragon roar echoed, reverberating through heaven and earth.

After a while, Wang Mengli flew out from the lightning and landed in front of Wang Changsheng.

Her face was slightly pale, but an astonishing spiritual pressure emanated from her body, indicating she had successfully advanced to the Integration stage.

“Congratulations, Mengli!” Wang Tun Tian gave a simple smile and congratulated Wang Mengli.

“Master, the Lightning Transformation Array is damaged,” Wang Mengli said with a look of remorse, producing a pale silver array disc and handing it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng took the silver array disc and saw several fine cracks on its surface. Ordinary lightning power could certainly not have caused such damage.

Fortunately, the Wang family had two Lightning Transformation Arrays. Wang Mengli used the one refined with a low-grade seventh-tier lightning-absorbing pearl, and there was another, superior one.

“It's fine. What matters is that you've reached the Integration stage. Go back and recuperate,” Wang Changsheng said, putting away the array disc and returning to Qinglian Island.

He entered a secret chamber and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Demon Realm, Demonic Flame Continent.

At Demonic Python Mountain Range, Ye Haitang stood atop a peak, gazing at the six-colored thunderclouds in the distance.

Fang Mu was attempting to break through to the Integration stage, drawing three six-colored divine lightning bolts.

Rumbling thunder resounded as a thick six-colored lightning bolt tore through the sky, striking down towards a small valley below.

The valley was filled with dense demonic energy, making it impossible to see clearly what was happening inside.

The six-colored lightning plunged into the valley, vanishing without a trace. Soon after, a second six-colored lightning bolt fell, also disappearing.

After the six-colored thunderclouds violently churned, they transformed into a gigantic six-colored lightning leopard that dove down from high altitude, plunging into the valley.

Following a loud crash, a dazzling mass of six-colored lightning shot into the sky, and the ground trembled slightly.

After a while, Fang Mu flew out from the six-colored lightning and landed in front of Ye Haitang.

Fang Mu's face was pale, but he was not severely injured. With Ye Haitang's help in setting up the array, his breakthrough to the Integration stage had been quite easy.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Fang!” Ye Haitang congratulated Fang Mu.

“If you hadn't helped me set up the array, even if I could have endured the Seven-Nine Lightning Tribulation, it wouldn't have been this easy,” Fang Mu said gratefully.

“We all come from Dongli Realm, so this is what I should do. From now on, we should help each other,” Ye Haitang said with a smile.

“Of course. By the way, how is Gu Lin doing?” Fang Mu asked via voice transmission.

“He's still investigating our background, but I already have a countermeasure. Your advancement to the Integration stage will also help me. Go back and recuperate for now,” Ye Haitang suggested.

Fang Mu did not refuse, agreeing to return to his residence to recuperate.

Celestial Demon Realm, Tianying Continent is located in the southwestern part of the Celestial Demon Realm.

The Celestial Fox Mountain Range is located in the southeastern part of Tianying Continent, stretching for hundreds of millions of li. With abundant spiritual energy, it is the ancestral land of the Nine-Tailed Clan.

Tianying Continent was originally called Nine-Tailed Continent, but the Nine-Tailed Clan had been in decline. The Tianying Clan rose powerfully, suppressing the Nine-Tailed Clan. Under the Tianying Clan’s emphasis and interference, the outside world renamed Nine-Tailed Continent to Tianying Continent.

Even a centipede dies without stiffening. Though the Nine-Tailed Clan had fallen into decline, their foundation and strength were not to be underestimated; they were not comparable to minor clans.

Deep within the Celestial Fox Mountain Range, numerous buildings could be seen, along with young men and women, each possessing several tails.

Among the Nine-Tailed Clan members, the more tails they possessed, the greater their potential, the stronger their bloodline, the closer they were to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and the higher their status within the clan.

In a secret chamber, Bai Linger sat cross-legged on a white futon, her eyes closed, her body enveloped in a soft white glow.

After a while, she opened her eyes, exhaled a shallow breath, took out a white-glowing magic disc, channeled a spell into it, and respectfully said, “Grandma!”

“How are you? Are you alright now?” A gentle female voice responded.

“Thank you for your concern, Grandma. Linger is fine now,” Bai Linger honestly replied. She had been ambushed while on an errand. She escaped using illusionary techniques but was severely wounded and had been recuperating.

“That’s good. You are one of the few seven-tailed members of our clan, with the potential to advance to nine tails. Focus on your cultivation for now. In three hundred years, Fellow Daoist Feng of the Tianying Clan will be celebrating a grand birthday. Come with me then to see the world and meet elites from other races,” the woman said in an unyielding tone.

“Yes, Grandma,” Bai Linger readily agreed.

Putting away the communication disc, Bai Linger let out a soft sigh, her eyes darting around, lost in thought.
