Chapter 3338: Going Home (No More for Today)

In the Five Glories Mountain Range on the Xuanling Continent, Wang Yingjie sat on the main seat of the Five Glories Palace, beaming. Gongsun Yang and others sat on either side, their expressions varied.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, have the foreign races counterattacked?" Song Yunlong asked."No, Fellow Daoist Cheng from Zhenhai Palace sent word that the war has ended," Wang Yingjie said with a smile. "Heavenly River Sword Sovereign battled Luoxiao of the Yaksha race and defeated him. Both sides have reached an agreement: all territories we captured are now ours, and hostilities will cease."This war had lasted for several decades, resulting in numerous cultivator casualties. The Wang family also suffered significant losses, including one Integration Stage cultivator. Hearing this, Song Yunlong and the others showed joy.

"Strange, neither of the two Mahayana cultivators from the Blazefire Race showed up in this race war!" Gongsun Yang said, puzzled. "Could it be that both Yan Duan and Yan Que are in life-and-death seclusion? That's impossible! And it's unlikely they both went out on expeditions! On the human side, there were Chen Yueying and Heavenly River Sword Sovereign, while among the foreign races, only Luoxiao appeared. Yin Jing of the Silver Shark race didn't show up at all. No wonder the war ended so quickly."

"Something must have happened to the Blazefire Race. Perhaps one Mahayana cultivator has fallen, and the other is out on an expedition. Or it could be that one went out, and the other just passed a major Heavenly Tribulation, is gravely injured, and unable to appear," Sun Tianhu speculated."Perhaps!" Wang Yingjie instructed. "Regardless, instruct everyone to stop harassing foreign strongholds and consolidate our forces.""Yes, Fellow Daoist Wang," Sun Tianhu and the others agreed and departed to carry out the orders.

Zhenhai City, one of the human race's important front-line strongholds. In a thousand-mu estate, Chen Yueying and Heavenly River Sword Sovereign sat in a stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"Fairy Chen, I heard you attacked the Myriad Blazes Mountain Range. Did you strike it rich?" Heavenly River Sword Sovereign said meaningfully.Chen Yueying wasn't surprised. With so many Blazefire Race cultivators in the Myriad Blazes Mountain Range, it was impossible to keep such news secret. "I also wanted to spar with Yan Duan, but neither of them showed up. I ended up seizing many valuable items from the Blazefire Race's treasure vault." Chen Yueying took out ten exquisite red jade boxes. They contained no less than five spiritual herbs over 40,000 years old, as well as various refining materials. Had Heavenly River Sword Sovereign not preoccupied Luoxiao, she wouldn't have been able to acquire the Nine-Glory Stone.

Heavenly River Sword Sovereign didn't stand on ceremony, putting away the items. "Neither Yan Que nor Yan Zheng was there?""Yan Que might be dead. He was gravely injured when the Lizard Race was exterminated last time, and if he then encountered a major Heavenly Tribulation, he very likely perished," Chen Yueying analyzed. "As for Yan Zheng, he's probably out on an expedition. That's quite normal; he can't stay on Xuanling Continent indefinitely; he also needs to seek opportunities elsewhere."

"You plundered the Blazefire Race's treasure vault. If Yan Zheng returns, he will definitely come for you," Heavenly River Sword Sovereign said with a frown. If Yan Zheng knew Chen Yueying attacked the Myriad Blazes Mountain Range and took most of the treasures, he would be furious and might even attack Floating Cloud Island. Zhenhai Palace rose relatively late and didn't possess an eighth-tier formation. If Chen Yueying wasn't on Floating Cloud Island, the Zhenhai Palace disciples wouldn't be able to hold off Yan Zheng for long.

"I'm not afraid of Yan Zheng. Luoxiao is the trouble, but with Fellow Daoist Lin here, it should be fine." Chen Yueying was full of confidence.

Heavenly River Sword Sovereign was about to say something when he frowned, took out a shattered red spirit jade, and let out a long sigh."Oh, a soul jade has shattered. My condolences," Chen Yueying uttered a soft exclamation and offered comfort. Heavenly River Sword Sovereign wouldn't carry someone's soul jade unless they were a very close person. Heavenly River Sword Sovereign sighed softly. Both of his disciples had perished under major Heavenly Tribulations. If he couldn't ascend to the Immortal Realm, he would surely die under a major Heavenly Tribulation, even if he escaped powerful enemies or potent restrictions.

"I'll leave the aftermath to you, Fairy Chen. I have matters to attend to and won't stay any longer." With that, Heavenly River Sword Sovereign transformed into a blue streak of light and soared into the sky.Chen Yueying was baffled but didn't dwell on it. She took out a yellow communication disk, cast a spell, and instructed: "Nephew Cheng, consolidate our forces and end the war as soon as possible." In this race war, Zhao Yunxiao and Qin Tianxue were stationed at Tianhai Market to guard against the Silver Shark race, while Cheng Zhenyu, Zheng Nan, Li Yaoyao, Lin Youxin, and other new generation Integration Stage cultivators fought against the Blazefire Race and Yaksha Race inland. Cheng Zhenyu and Zheng Nan performed well. If they hadn't discovered that Blazefire Race cultivators had obtained the Nine-Glory Stone, Chen Yueying wouldn't have initiated this war. Chen Yueying entrusted Cheng Zhenyu with important responsibilities, which was a way of nurturing him.

"Yes, Martial Aunt Chen," Cheng Zhenyu's voice came from the yellow communication disk."The Wang family performed well this time," Chen Yueying instructed. "Give them the Five Glories Jade Mine, the Kun Earth Stone Mine, and a seventh-tier spiritual mountain. You can handle the rest as you see fit!"Neither Yan Que nor Yan Zheng appeared. In this race war, the Blazefire Race lost much territory, and Zhenhai Palace's territory expanded significantly, acquiring many cultivation resources. The Wang family performed exceptionally well in this battle, and Chen Yueying fulfilled her promise, rewarding them according to their merits."Yes, Martial Aunt Chen."

Putting away the communication disk, Chen Yueying took out the Nine-Glory Stone, her eyes burning with fervor. To refine the Nine-Glory Stone into a high-grade Transcendent Spiritual Treasure, she would need to gather many rare materials. Much like alchemy for rare elixirs, the main ingredients are hard to find, and even the supplementary ones are uncommon. The Profound Azure Sect had deep foundations. She could exchange resources with them. As long as the materials weren't exceptionally rare, the new Sect Master of Profound Azure Sect wouldn't refuse. After all, Xuanqingzi wasn't there; she wasn't seizing them, but exchanging.

Azure Lin Valley, Thousand Spirit Continent. In a small courtyard with blue tiles, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Xiangrong, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingjing, and Long Qingfeng sat in a stone pavilion, discussing something.

"We're leaving this place to you all. We plan to return to the Xuanling Continent with the Ye family's Ice Lion," Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice.The Ice Lion was bound for the Xuanling Continent, and Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan intended to return there. Wang Qingshan, True Monarch Sifang, Wang Xiangrong, Wang Qingjing, Long Qingfeng, and others would remain on the Thousand Spirit Continent to continue searching for the Thousand Spirit Token. Wang Changsheng had been in the late Integration Stage for several millennia and felt he was close to the peak of the Integration Stage. It was the right time to return to the Xuanling Continent, enter seclusion for cultivation, and attempt to break through to the Mahayana Stage.

"Ninth Uncle, Ninth Aunt, don't worry! We've got things covered here," Wang Qingshan agreed. Wang Xiangrong was a seventh-tier formation master. With Bai Yuqi on the Xuanling Continent, Wang Xiangrong's presence wouldn't make much of a difference there, so he would stay on the Thousand Spirit Continent. Wang Ruyan took out a blue communication disk and cast a spell. Ye Tongtian's voice rang out: "Madam Wang, we're ready to depart.""Alright, we'll be right there," Wang Ruyan agreed.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan left Azure Lin Valley and arrived at the seashore. A large number of cultivators were queuing to board the ship. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan boarded successfully. After the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, the Ice Lion set sail, disappearing into the vast ocean.
