Chapter 3372: Blue Mountain Meets Bai Linger

After seeing Ye Yuhan off, Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber.

The Myriad Spirit Map hung on the wall. Wang Changsheng's body radiated a brilliant blue light, transforming into a streak of blue escape light that vanished into the Myriad Spirit Map.

He felt his surroundings change, suddenly appearing in a lush, verdant space filled with abundant spiritual energy.

He went to the Nine-Elemental Profound Wood, took out a blue meditation mat, sat cross-legged on it, and began to cultivate.

Countless blue mists emerged, surging towards him.

***

Heavenly Demon Realm, Skyhawk Continent.

Black Bear Mountain stretches for tens of millions of miles, with countless perilous peaks and strange formations. The spiritual energy here is abundant, and several rare spiritual herbs grow that are seldom seen outside.

A deafening roar echoed from the depths of the mountain range, faintly mixed with a loud beast howl.

Deep within the mountains, Wang Qingshan stood in an open area, covered in dust. Not far away, two massive bear corpses lay on the ground, which was pockmarked with craters. Wang Lei hovered high above, his body enveloped by countless golden electrical arcs.

A burly man in a golden robe stood opposite them. A terrifying bloody gash on his abdomen revealed hints of bone, and several smaller cuts were visible on his body.

Wang Qingshan knew that the Grand Unity Palace was on the Black Tortoise Continent. He intended to travel through the Skyhawk Continent to reach it, but as soon as he stepped onto the Skyhawk Continent, he was attacked by demon cultivators.

The Heavenly Demon Realm is a domain dominated by the demon race, where human influence is not strong.

A loud thunderclap resounded from high above, and a thick silver lightning bolt descended, striking the man in the golden robe. The man tried to evade, but his body felt as heavy as billions of pounds, firmly pinned to the ground and unable to move.

Two streaks of yellow light flew out from underground, heading straight for the man in the golden robe.

The man in the golden robe chanted an incantation. The giant bear phantom above his head emitted a golden sound wave that met the silver lightning bolt. Simultaneously, a golden ray shot from each of his eyes, striking the two yellow lights.

With a thunderous roar, the silver lightning bolt was shattered by the golden sound wave, and the two yellow lights were also dispersed by the golden rays.

A colossal, bluish-green sword light descended, tearing through the void. At that moment, a spectral white fox claw materialized out of thin air, blocking the mighty sword light.

A streak of white escape light flew from the distance and landed on the ground. It was Bai Ling'er.

"Fairy Bai! Why are you here?" the man in the golden robe asked, puzzled.

"I heard that a human was causing trouble on the Skyhawk Continent. As I've just been reassigned to Heavenly Fox Mountain, I came to investigate and happened upon this," Bai Ling'er replied. As she spoke, she formed hand seals.

A layer of white light emanated from her body, and a gigantic nine-tailed fox phantom appeared in the sky above her.

Wang Qingshan was slightly taken aback when he saw Bai Ling'er.

Did Bai Ling'er not recognize him? Or was it that they were now on opposing sides, forcing Bai Ling'er to assist?

"Fellow Daoist Xiong, were all the other fellow daoists killed by him, except for you?" Bai Ling'er asked.

"Yes, this person's sword mastery is extremely formidable. He also has a seventh-tier spirit beast and an Integration-stage Stone Man, making him very difficult to deal with," the man in the golden robe replied truthfully.

Bai Ling'er formed an incantation. The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox phantom spewed out a cloud of pink mist, enveloping the man in the golden robe.

As the man in the golden robe was about to evade, a gentle female voice whispered in his ear: "Fellow Daoist Jin, your kin are all dead. Do you have the face to continue living?"

Hearing this, a feeling of submission welled up in the man's heart, and he instinctively almost agreed, but then quickly reacted: "What does this mean?"

The pink mist enveloped the man in the golden robe. After inhaling a bit, he felt a wave of heat surge through his body, and his surroundings shifted. He found himself in a spacious and bright hall, where a robust old man in a green robe sat on the main seat.

"Ancestor! No, an illusion!" the man in the golden robe exclaimed.

The right claw of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox phantom swiped at the void. A spectral white fox claw materialized and struck the giant bear phantom.

The giant bear phantom let out a tragic cry and disintegrated.

A colossal, reddish-hued sword light swept forth, plunging into the pink mist. A shriek was heard, and a miniature black bear, barely escaping the main body, was instantly enveloped by a streak of green light and drawn into a green gourd.

"Fairy Bai, long time no see," Wang Qingshan spoke. He had initially thought Bai Ling'er was against him, but now it seemed he had misunderstood her.

"Why are you in the Heavenly Demon Realm, and why have you provoked the Bear Roar Clan?" Bai Ling'er asked with a frown.

"It's a long story, Fairy Bai. Did you know I was here?" Wang Qingshan asked, puzzled, thinking it would be too much of a coincidence if it truly was.

"Yes, I didn't want you to be killed by them. This isn't the place to talk. If you trust me, follow me."

Bai Ling'er summoned a white, shimmering flying boat and stepped onto it. Wang Qingshan collected the enemies' belongings and corpses, then boarded with Wang Lei.

"Let's go!" Bai Ling'er formed an incantation, and the white flying boat immediately erupted with a brilliant white light, transforming into a streak of white escape light that soared through the air and vanished into the horizon.

Profound Yang Realm, Azure Glaze Sea Region.

Heavenly Gourd Island, the ancestral land of the Han family.

In a secluded manor, Han Yilong, Han Xuemei, Han Yuyan, and Han Xueyao sat in a blue stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"What? True Monarch Taihao has advanced to the Mahayana stage? And he heavily injured Yan Zheng?" Han Yilong exclaimed in surprise.

Honestly, Wang Changsheng advancing to the Mahayana stage merely indicated good fortune; there are many Mahayana rogue cultivators, so his advancement alone wasn't particularly remarkable.

However, the fact that Wang Changsheng heavily injured Yan Zheng was a different matter entirely. This suggested that Wang Changsheng's divine abilities were far superior to Yan Zheng's, or that he possessed some powerful treasure.

"It's absolutely true. If it were false, the Essence Fire Clan and the Yaksha Clan wouldn't have retreated so quickly, nor would the Silver Shark Clan have remained entrenched. We almost misjudged the situation," Han Yuyan remarked with emotion.

With True Monarch Wan Hai's protection, the Han family held a considerable position in the Azure Glaze Sea Region. Now that Wang Changsheng had advanced to the Mahayana stage, the Han family gained another powerful external ally.

"For True Monarch Taihao's Mahayana celebration, I will lead the delegation personally!" Han Yilong said gravely.

Previously, the Han family hadn't placed much importance on the Wang family. Even with the marriage alliance, it was merely a common tactic among cultivation families. No matter how many Integration-stage cultivators the Wang family had, they couldn't surpass True Monarch Wan Hai.

Now, however, it was different. Wang Changsheng had advanced to the Mahayana stage, his divine abilities were formidable, and he had heavily injured Yan Zheng. The Han family absolutely had to take this seriously.

Han Yuyan and the other two had no objections. For True Monarch Taihao's Mahayana celebration, they would have to bring substantial gifts to congratulate him, as they were in-laws.

***

Golden Crow Island, the ancestral land of the Li family.

In a manor filled with spring vitality, Li Tianhe, Li Qinghuan, and Li Qingxue sat in a green bamboo pavilion, discussing something.

"True Monarch Taihao's abilities are so strong? He heavily injured Yan Zheng," Li Qingxue exclaimed in surprise, having already advanced to the Integration stage herself.

"Indeed! I hadn't expected it either. It seems True Monarch Taihao's fortune is extraordinary. To cultivate from the Integration stage to the Mahayana stage within ten thousand years, and possess such powerful divine abilities to heavily injure Yan Zheng..." Li Qinghuan remarked with emotion.

"Qinghuan, your connection with True Monarch Taihao is quite deep. You should personally lead the delegation to the Profound Spirit Continent to congratulate him! Send people to collect rare treasures," Li Tianhe instructed.

Li Qinghuan agreed. The Li family indeed needed to seize this opportunity to strengthen their relationship with the Wang family. With such a powerful in-law, any human forces in the Azure Glaze Sea Region contemplating action against the Li family would certainly think twice.
