Time flew by like a white colt across a crevice; over four hundred years had passed.
On Green Lotus Island, Xuanling Continent.
In a secluded manor, Wang Qingcheng sat in a yellow stone pavilion, listening to Wang Yongzhong's report.
Wang Yongzhong had returned to the Xuanling Continent with a group of clansmen, as instructed by Wang Qingfeng, after the Han Family's Trans-Spiritual Treasure Ship sailed there, to report to the family.
"A Thousand Spirit Token! He needs help to overcome his fifth Grand Heavenly Tribulation! Hasn't he sought out other powers?" Wang Qingcheng asked, puzzled.
"He has," Wang Yongzhong reported. "But most other powers are unwilling to help, as it's just a token. And the powers willing to help don't possess a Thunder Transformation Array, which makes him uneasy."
A Void Refinement cultivator named Wang Hai had presented a Dry Spirit Token, seeking assistance from other powers to overcome his fifth Grand Heavenly Tribulation. Most powers were reluctant to help. While some were willing, they lacked a Thunder Transformation Array, which Wang Hai wouldn't accept, as failure would mean his death and the dissipation of his Dao.
Wang Qingcheng frowned deeply. The Wang family couldn't lend the Thunder Transformation Array to Wang Hai. However, with Bai Yuqi's help in setting up a seventh-tier array, combined with a Thunder Transformation Talisman, it should be manageable. The Wang family possessed only a few Thunder Transformation Talismans, which were extremely precious. Using one for a mere Dry Spirit Token seemed too great a loss.
"I understand," Wang Qingcheng instructed. "You should stay on Green Lotus Island for now."
Wang Yongzhong acknowledged, bowed, and withdrew.
Wang Qingcheng took out a yellow communication disk, input a magic formula, and said, "Yuqi, come to my residence; I have something to discuss with you."
"Alright, I'll be right there," Bai Yuqi replied.
Soon after, Bai Yuqi arrived, and Wang Qingcheng recounted the entire matter to her.
"If it's a mid-grade Spirit Treasure of Heaven manufactured from a seventh-tier demonic turtle, along with a Heavenly Thunder Transformation Talisman and a seventh-tier array, a Void Refinement cultivator should have no problem overcoming their fifth Grand Heavenly Tribulation," Bai Yuqi analyzed. Even among mid-grade Spirit Treasures of Heaven, different materials resulted in varying defensive capabilities. While this was true in theory, Wang Hai might not accept, as his life was at stake.
"Go to the family treasury, take a Thunder Transformation Talisman, and make a trip to the Azure Glaze Sea Region. Do your utmost to help Wang Hai overcome his fifth Grand Heavenly Tribulation and bring back the Thousand Spirit Token," Wang Qingcheng commanded. The Thousand Spirit Secret Treasury was a dangerous place on the Thousand Spirit Continent, containing many rare treasures. Without a Thousand Spirit Token, one could not enter to seek them.
"Yes, family head," Bai Yuqi replied, accepting the order and leaving to carry it out.
Wang Qingcheng took out the communication disk, input a magic formula, and instructed, "Yuanjiang, Yuqi will come to the treasury to collect a Thunder Transformation Talisman for an important mission in the Azure Glaze Sea Region. Hand it over to her." Wang Yuanjiang had taken over Wang Qinglong's position as the guardian of the family treasury. For rare resources like the Thunder Transformation Talisman, even Integration stage elders required Wang Qingcheng's permission and registration to use them. It wasn't as simple as Bai Yuqi just going to the family treasury and asking Wang Yuanjiang for the talisman to use it.
"Understood, family head," Wang Yuanjiang replied.
Putting away the communication disk, Wang Qingcheng's expression turned thoughtful.
Centuries had passed since the end of the racial war. The Wang family had acquired two seventh-tier mineral veins, one seventh-tier spirit mountain, six sixth-tier mineral veins, and a large spirit herb garden. These had originally belonged to the Essence Fire Tribe. If not for the Essence Fire Tribe's Grand Ascension stage cultivators being absent from the Xuanling Continent, it would have been difficult for the human race to completely occupy these territories, even after conquering them. With these resources, the Wang family's financial strain was greatly eased, and their prospects for development improved.
Sun Yuejiao walked in, smiling brightly. "Husband," she said, "Father and Mother are back. They're on Green Lotus Peak, asking us to join them."
"Let's go, to Green Lotus Peak," Wang Qingcheng said, his face lighting up with joy. He went to Green Lotus Peak with Sun Yuejiao.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were seated in a blue stone pavilion. Wang Changsheng had already advanced to the Great Perfection of the Integration stage. At an auction held by the Stone Cocoon Tribe, he had obtained a pot of Mystic Immortal Brew, a seventh-tier spiritual wine primarily brewed from Mystic Immortal Fruit, which had the effect of enhancing magical power. The Mystic Immortal Fruit blossomed every 20,000 years, bore fruit after another 20,000 years, and only matured after yet another 20,000 years. The Mystic Immortal Brew crafted from it was exceptionally effective. Wang Changsheng had only managed to exchange for a pot of Mystic Immortal Brew with the demonic cores of nether beasts and two 30,000-year-old spirit herbs.
After the Ice Lion sailed, Wang Changsheng drank the Mystic Immortal Brew and cultivated in seclusion for over four hundred years, successfully advancing to the Great Perfection of the Integration stage. He had been in the late Integration stage for over five thousand years; otherwise, drinking a single pot of Mystic Immortal Brew wouldn't have allowed him to reach Great Perfection. With the Nine-Bend Exquisite Fruit and the Potala Flame Talisman in his possession, he could now enter seclusion to attempt to break through to the Grand Ascension stage.
"Father, Mother, haven't Seventh Brother and the others returned?" Wang Qingcheng asked curiously.
"No, Qingshan and the others remained on the Thousand Spirit Continent for other matters," Wang Changsheng replied. "By the way, I heard about a racial war erupting on the Xuanling Continent and Yuling's death. Tell us everything in detail."
Wang Qingcheng nodded honestly and recounted the entire event truthfully.
"What a pity about Yuling," Wang Ruyan sighed softly. If Wang Yuling hadn't covered for her clansmen, she might not have died. Strictly speaking, the Wang family had too few Integration stage cultivators, requiring them to be stationed in both the inland and sea regions. It was normal for Integration stage cultivators to travel, and they couldn't always stay on the Xuanling Continent. Once a racial war broke out, they would face a shortage of personnel.
"Oh, Father," Wang Qingcheng suddenly remembered, "Master-Uncle Chen has a command. If you return, you are to go to Misty Cloud Island; Master-Uncle Chen has an important matter to discuss with you."
"Understood," Wang Changsheng nodded. He then inquired about the family's current situation, to which Wang Qingcheng replied truthfully. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were delighted to hear that the family was developing increasingly well.
After chatting for a while, they dismissed Wang Qingcheng and Sun Yuejiao.
"Wife, let's split up," Wang Changsheng said gravely. "You go find Heavenly River Sword Sovereign, and I'll go pay my respects to Master-Uncle Chen." He had been entrusted by Bai Xuan to deliver some items to the Heavenly River Sword Sovereign. Since Chen Yueying was looking for Wang Changsheng, it made sense for Wang Ruyan to seek out the Heavenly River Sword Sovereign, thus splitting their actions.
Wang Ruyan nodded, and the two went their separate ways.
The Heavenly Fiend Mountain Range stretched for hundreds of millions of miles; it was the ancestral land of the Nightshade Tribe.
In a manor spanning a thousand acres, Luo Xiao and an elegant young woman in a golden dress sat in a stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting. A powerful spiritual pressure emanated from the young woman in the golden dress, revealing her to be a Grand Ascension stage cultivator.
Sang Yu, the newly advanced Grand Ascension stage cultivator of the Nightshade Tribe.
"From now on, our Nightshade Tribe will have two Grand Ascension stage cultivators," Luo Xiao said with a smile. "If another racial war breaks out, I won't have to struggle so much."
"It's all thanks to the Jade-Quell Pill; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to advance to the Grand Ascension stage," Sang Yu said gratefully.
"The Jade-Quell Pill is secondary," Luo Xiao sighed, a look of regret on his face. "The true difficulty lies in the Heart Demon Tribulation. Luo Hao, for instance, failed to overcome it." The previous Grand Elder of the Nightshade Tribe had entered the Thousand Spirit Secret Treasury to seek treasures and obtained five Jade-Quell Pills. These pills could assist Integration stage cultivators in breaking through to the Grand Ascension stage. However, only Luo Xiao and Sang Yu successfully advanced to the Grand Ascension stage after consuming the Jade-Quell Pills; the other three failed to overcome their Heart Demon Tribulations.
