Chapter 3510: The Message of the Qianshou

Within the Secret Realm of a Thousand Butterflies, a tranquil manor, Wang Qingfeng, Dong Xueli, and Duan Tongtian sat in a red stone pavilion, conversing.

Duan Tongtian's face was slightly pale. He had just passed his Great Heavenly Tribulation and was currently at the mid-Integration stage. Advancing from the mid-Integration stage to the late-Integration stage was a significant hurdle, not easily overcome.

"Father, please take good care of yourself and recover," Wang Qingfeng advised. Duan Tongtian was also undergoing secluded cultivation in the Secret Realm of a Thousand Butterflies.

Duan Tongtian nodded and said, "You've all worked hard." The Wang family had developed rapidly and amassed considerable strength over the past ten thousand years, making Duan Tongtian's direct assistance less crucial.

"Father, there's no need to be so formal," Wang Qingfeng said earnestly.

"Qingfeng is right. We are family; there's no need for formalities between in-laws." A gentle male voice resonated. Above the manor, a mass of blue mist appeared, glowed with a blue light, and transformed into Wang Changsheng.

"In-law" and "Father," the three of them greeted in unison. Wang Qingfeng removed the restriction, and Wang Changsheng flew down to stand before them.

"Father, why have you come again? If there's anything, you could just send someone to tell us," Dong Xueli said with a smile.

"Meng Bin has advanced to the Mahayana stage, so I went to see him. Passing by the Secret Realm of a Thousand Butterflies, I thought I'd visit you and bring you some things," Wang Changsheng explained, taking out three jade boxes of different colors and handing them over.

"Dharma Origin Fruit!" Duan Tongtian gasped as he opened a jade box, his tone becoming grave.

"With these Dharma Origin Fruits, you'll soon reach the late-Integration stage. And if you cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Integration stage, I will provide you with spiritual items to help you attempt to break through to the Mahayana stage," Wang Changsheng stated.

Wang Qingfeng did not refuse and accepted them.

"In-law, have you acquired many Dharma Origin Fruits?" Duan Tongtian asked, puzzled. He knew how precious these fruits were, and with many Integration-stage cultivators in the Wang family, there wasn't enough for everyone.

"No, just take them. Fellow Daoist Su from the Nine Origins Merchant Alliance told Qingshan that a major event might be brewing. The Ye family, Heavenly Moon Race, Stone Cocoon Race, and Luo family have all added several Mahayana cultivators. This isn't a coincidence; they are intentionally cultivating more Mahayana experts. There's a strong possibility of an inter-realm war breaking out, and they are preparing in advance to strengthen their forces," Wang Changsheng said gravely.

If an inter-realm war truly erupted, it would be beneficial for the Wang family to have a few more Mahayana cultivators.

"Inter-realm war!" The expressions of Wang Qingfeng and the other two turned serious. Hearing this, Duan Tongtian no longer declined and accepted the fruits.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng left and returned to Green Lotus Island.

Upon his return to Green Lotus Island, he learned that Ding Xiaobing had come to visit Wang Changsheng, and Wang Ruyan was currently hosting Ding Xiaobing in the reception hall.

Xuan Qingzi had mentioned this person, a rumored Mahayana rogue cultivator who had fought Chen Yueying to a draw.

Wang Changsheng entered the reception hall and saw Wang Ruyan chatting with Ding Xiaobing.

"I am Ding Xiaobing. You must be True Monarch Taihao, correct?" Ding Xiaobing stood up, cupped his fists, and spoke with fervent eyes.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right. Are you here to see me, Fellow Daoist Ding?"

"Indeed. I've long heard of Fellow Daoist Wang's great reputation. I've come this time to spar with you. How about I use this piece of Golden Thunder Divine Crystal as a wager? I obtained this item from the Sky Dome Realm. It's said that the Natal Treasure of the Nine Thunder Divine Monarch in the Sky Dome Realm was forged from Golden Thunder Divine Crystal, making it a relatively precious lightning-attribute material even there." Ding Xiaobing took out a fist-sized blue crystal, its surface flashing with dazzling lightning arcs and emitting violent aura fluctuations.

"The Sky Dome Realm, the Nine Thunder Divine Monarch! Fellow Daoist Ding, you've been to the Sky Dome Realm? Have you ever heard of the Gold Lapis Beast?" Wang Changsheng asked with some curiosity.

"The Gold Lapis Beast? Of course, I've heard of it. This beast possesses considerable divine abilities and can only be found in certain perilous areas. This Sky Dome Orb records information about various demon beasts in the Sky Dome Realm. If Fellow Daoist Wang is interested, please take it! I have a few of them anyway." Ding Xiaobing took out a pale silver orb and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng injected his magic power into the Sky Dome Orb, which emitted a blinding silver light. A beam of silver light shot out, forming an ethereal image of an exotic beast, accompanied by text detailing its name, divine abilities, habits, and other characteristics.

After a moment, he found the Gold Lapis Beast. It was identical to the Qian Beast described in the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll, suggesting that the compiler of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll referred to the Gold Lapis Beast as the Qian Beast.

Wang Changsheng inquired about the possible locations where the Gold Lapis Beast might appear, and Ding Xiaobing answered truthfully.

"How do you wish to spar, Fellow Daoist Ding?" Wang Changsheng asked with a faint smile.

"I heard Fellow Daoist Wang is a body cultivator. How about we decide the winner in one move, by comparing raw strength? What will Fellow Daoist Wang use as a wager?" Ding Xiaobing asked sincerely.

Wang Changsheng nodded, "Alright, then let's decide it in one move. I'll use a large piece of Qianjin Fiery Crystal as the wager."

Ding Xiaobing readily agreed. The two left Green Lotus Island and arrived at a vast, uninhabited sea region.

Ding Xiaobing formed a hand seal, and countless profound golden runes emerged on his body. His bones cracked audibly, and a dazzling golden giant's phantom appeared in the sky above his head, merging with him, resembling an enraged Vajra.

Wang Changsheng also summoned his Dharma Idol, merging it with his own body.

Ding Xiaobing unleashed a punch, causing the void to vibrate and twist, accompanied by a piercing sound of air being torn. Wang Changsheng, showing no fear, met it with a powerful punch of his own.

A thunderous boom! When the two fists collided, the void was instantly ripped open, revealing a massive black hole. The sea surface below erupted. Ding Xiaobing stumbled back two steps, his face filled with shock. He had consumed many spiritual elixirs for body refinement, yet he had lost to Wang Changsheng in a pure physical contest.

Wang Changsheng had obtained over thirty Ten-Thousand Jun Fruits from the Immortal Realm Fragment and had consumed ten of them, significantly enhancing his strength.

"Haha, exhilarating! The Golden Thunder Divine Crystal is yours, Fellow Daoist Wang. Once my cultivation greatly improves, I'll come back to spar with you again." Ding Xiaobing laughed heartily, tossed the Golden Thunder Divine Crystal to Wang Changsheng, and then transformed into a streak of light, departing.

Wang Changsheng gazed at Ding Xiaobing's receding figure, utterly perplexed. This Ding Xiaobing was indeed an eccentric; Wang Changsheng had assumed he was there to exchange materials, but he had left immediately after losing the match.

Without dwelling on it, he returned to Green Lotus Island.

Five years later, the Wang family hosted the wedding of Wang Qingshan and Bai Linger, inviting many forces from the Profound Spirit Continent. Both the Xuanqing Sect and the Zhenhai Palace sent representatives who offered congratulatory gifts.

The Wang family lit Bai Linger's Soul Lantern, placing it alongside Wang Qingshan's, and assigned dedicated guardians to watch over them.

From then on, Bai Linger became an integral part of the Wang family.

After the wedding, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Qingshan all entered secluded cultivation to comprehend the Spiritual Domain.

Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on a blue futon, his expression grave.

"This time, I must at least achieve initial mastery," Wang Changsheng murmured to himself.

After his discussion with Xuan Qingzi, Wang Changsheng realized that the Spiritual Domain was divided into four stages: initial mastery, minor accomplishment, major accomplishment, and perfection. Xuan Qingzi, having grasped a mere superficial understanding, was considered to have reached initial mastery.

According to Xuan Qingzi, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were not far from achieving initial mastery.

Wang Changsheng exhaled slowly and closed his eyes. The void vibrated and twisted, as vast quantities of blue seawater emerged, accompanied by the faint roar of a tsunami.
