Chapter 3509: Meng Bin Mahayana

"Friend Lin should win!" Wang Ruyan said with a smile.

Xuan Qingzi replied seriously, "True Monarch Yuqiong's treasure is quite powerful, and he has also grasped the basics of the Spirit Domain. Their sparring match is evenly matched." He added, "There are many capable cultivators in the immortal world. For True Monarch Yuqiong to fight him to a draw means his strength is extraordinary."

Xuan Qingzi seemed to recall something and said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, there's a Mahayana cultivator named Ding Xiaobing in the Qianguang Realm. He fought Madam Chen to a draw, and he has also sparred with human Mahayana cultivators from the Azure Glass Sea Domain without a single defeat—at worst, he achieved a draw."

He is currently at the mid-Mahayana stage, and Ding Xiaobing has not yet sparred with him.

"Ding Xiaobing!" Wang Changsheng had heard Wang Qingcheng mention this person before but didn't know much about him.

After chatting for over half an hour, Xuan Qingzi bid farewell and left.

Immediately after he left, Wang Xiuluo emerged. It was he who had used his divine sense to probe Xuan Qingzi, acting on Wang Changsheng's instructions.

Wang Changsheng knew well that discussing the Spirit Domain with Xuan Qingzi could easily arouse his suspicion. Wang Xiuluo's use of divine sense to probe him was a warning.

If Xuan Qingzi were to truly pose a threat, with four Mahayana cultivators and two incomplete Profound Sky Treasures, they would not fear him.

Xuan Qingzi maintained restraint and did not make a move against them, but this was not a long-term solution. It would be ideal if Wang Changsheng could gain some deeper insights.

"You did very well. Go back and cultivate! I will help you overcome your grand heavenly tribulation," Wang Changsheng praised, then dismissed Wang Xiuluo.

"After we finish Qing Shan's wedding, let's continue our secluded cultivation to comprehend the Spirit Domain!" Wang Ruyan suggested. Hearing Xuan Qingzi's insights had given her some new understanding.

Wang Changsheng nodded, about to say something, when Wang Yongqian walked in, excitedly announcing, "Ancestor, Ancestor Mengbin is attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage!"

Wang Mengbin had been in secluded cultivation for many years, so it was reasonable for him to attempt the Mahayana breakthrough now. Had he not gone missing, he would likely have attempted it much earlier.

"I'll go take a look," Wang Changsheng said gravely. Wang Mengbin attempting the Mahayana breakthrough warranted his presence.

He and Wang Yongqian left Qinglian Island and headed for the mainland.

The Sky Beast Secret Realm, a secret realm controlled by the Wang family.

As the Wang family grew and prospered, they gained control of more and more secret realms.

Within the secret realm, spiritual energy was abundant, with countless perilous peaks and strange formations, and exotic flowers and rare herbs grew everywhere.

Wang Yi'er and Bai Yuqi stood on a steep peak, their expressions solemn, gazing at the thunderclouds high in the sky.

Wang Mengbin had already overcome the inner demon trial and was now undergoing the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation.

Rumbles of thunder echoed as thick silver lightning bolts tore through the sky, striking a steep peak.

Wang Mengbin stood at the summit, enveloped by a thick five-colored light barrier. As silver lightning bolts struck the barrier repeatedly, its spiritual glow slowly dimmed.

A short while later, after intense churning, the thunderclouds produced arcs of seven different colors.

"Seven-colored Divine Thunder!" Bai Yuqi and Wang Yi'er's expressions tightened.

To their knowledge, most Integration cultivators attempting the Mahayana breakthrough only drew six-colored divine thunder. For Wang Mengbin to attract nine bolts of seven-colored divine thunder was quite impressive.

With the Wang family's current resources, Wang Mengbin passing the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation would not be an issue.

A startling clap of thunder rang out as a thick seven-colored lightning bolt tore through the sky, striking the flickering five-colored light barrier.

The seven-colored lightning easily shattered the five-colored light barrier, and a thick silver light barrier appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Wang Mengbin.

Wang Mengbin held a shimmering silver formation disk in his hand. This was a lightning-transforming grand formation set up with top-grade seventh-tier lightning-absorbing beads, and blocking nine bolts of seven-colored divine thunder would be no problem.

The seven-colored lightning struck the silver light barrier, causing it to shake slightly.

Soon, the second bolt of seven-colored lightning struck, followed by the third, then the fourth...

The sounds of thunder were incessant, and dazzling seven-colored lightning engulfed more than half of the mountain peak, with surging air currents.

After the eighth bolt of seven-colored lightning struck, the thunderclouds churned violently, forming a colossal seven-colored Qilin that swooped down from the sky.

The seven-colored Qilin was just nearing the seven-colored lightning when a huge five-colored lightning blade shot out, slicing it in two. The Qilin's body then exploded, transforming into a colossal seven-colored sun that enveloped an area of several dozen miles, sending dust swirling.

Countless blue mists emerged, solidifying into Wang Changsheng's figure. He gazed at the distant seven-colored sun and asked, "Why so fast?"

"My husband used the Putaotuohan Flame Talisman, quickly eradicating the outer realm demons. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been this fast," Bai Yuqi explained.

Without the Putaotuohan Flame Talisman, Wang Mengbin naturally wouldn't have passed the thunder tribulation so quickly.

Before the seven-colored sun had dissipated, deafening thunder echoed from high in the sky, and thick silver lightning bolts streaked across the horizon.

"What is this?" Wang Yi'er was slightly stunned.

"My husband has passed the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation and is now using a lightning-guiding grand formation, hoping to draw in special lightning power," Bai Yuqi explained.

Thick silver lightning bolts tore through the sky, transforming the void for ten thousand miles around into a sea of thunder.

A short while later, a massive nine-colored lightning bolt appeared on the horizon.

"Nine-colored Divine Thunder!" Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. Wang Mengbin had just entered the Mahayana stage; could he refine this nine-colored divine thunder?

The nine-colored divine thunder tore through the sky and struck downwards.

The peak where Wang Mengbin had stood had vanished; he now stood on the ground, his face pale.

He intended to use this opportunity to draw in special lightning power and refine it to enhance his strength.

As the nine-colored lightning approached within a hundred zhang of Wang Mengbin, a gigantic humanoid phantom materialized, merging with him. He grabbed the nine-colored lightning, which trembled slightly but to no avail.

Wang Mengbin opened his mouth and spat out a stream of vital energy, enveloping the nine-colored lightning, and began refining the nine-colored divine thunder.

Two hours later, Wang Mengbin, though still pale, had a joyful expression in his eyes. The nine-colored lightning stopped trembling, and he put away the nine-colored divine thunder.

All the silver lightning high in the sky dispersed, vanishing without a trace.

In his current state, refining one bolt of nine-colored divine thunder was his limit. If he had been at full strength, he wouldn't have dismantled the lightning-guiding grand formation so quickly.

Wang Changsheng and the other two flew over, their faces beaming with joy.

"Excellent! With this, our family now has four Mahayana cultivators. Qing Shan has returned. Mengbin, for now, do not show yourself publicly. Recuperate well; I have an important task for you," Wang Changsheng instructed.

He planned for Wang Mengbin to be a hidden strength of the family. After several millennia of secluded cultivation, he would have him pilot the Cross-Sea Thunder Boat, taking a group of clan members to Canghai.

Even if the Profound Sun Realm were to truly descend into chaos, Canghai should remain unaffected, allowing the Wang family to preserve a group of elites.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Mengbin agreed.

Wang Changsheng took out a green storage ring and handed it to Wang Mengbin, saying, "Take these resources and cultivate well."

Besides a top-grade Connecting Heaven Spirit Treasure, there were also some spirit herbs and spirit wood, including a Jade Sandalwood Immortal Fruit.

Wang Mengbin thanked him and accepted the green storage ring.

Wang Changsheng gave a few more instructions, then left the secret realm.
