Chapter 3528: Refining the Trans-Ling Treasure Ship

"The problem is, we didn't acquire the Qiankun Bottle after eliminating the Ling Clan, and the Ye family won't believe us. Fortunately, we obtained a significant amount of Creation Dew. We hope to cultivate a million-year-old Dongyi Divine Wood, or even one that's only 500,000 years old. This would be enough to establish an eighth-tier formation, which would certainly enable Mahayana cultivators to survive the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation."

The green-robed elder's face showed a look of longing as he finished speaking.

Xun Feng was a mid-Mahayana cultivator.

Late-Mahayana cultivators can ascend to the Immortal Realm after surviving the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation.

The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is incredibly powerful; not only does it last for a long time, but it also unleashes unique lightning forces that vary from person to person.

Generally, the stronger a Mahayana cultivator, the more potent their Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation becomes. This makes it challenging even for Mahayana cultivators from powerful clans or true spirit families to endure it.

The Medicine Clan currently had eight Mahayana cultivators. Two were severely injured but had already taken healing elixirs, so their recovery was only a matter of time.

After eradicating the Ling Clan, the Medicine Clan acquired five bottles of Creation Dew and a Profound Sky Treasure, the Nine Blazing Pearl.

The Ling Clan had possessed a Profound Sky item, which, after being nourished with a significant amount of Creation Dew, transformed into the Profound Sky Treasure, the Nine Blazing Pearl. This was a phenomenon they had never witnessed before.

Typically, an eighth-tier formation master would arrange a grand formation to cultivate a Profound Sky item, with the hope of it evolving into a Profound Sky Treasure. The alternative method involves gathering rare materials to refine a Profound Sky Treasure. Both approaches are exceedingly challenging, particularly the latter, where finding the necessary materials alone is time-consuming, and the refining process itself is even more arduous.

The Medicine Clan had spent fifty thousand years refining a single Profound Sky Treasure, the Myriad Woods Ruler. Prior to this, they had created numerous damaged Profound Sky Treasures, all of which were experimental prototypes.

The Ling Clan's use of Creation Dew to accelerate the maturation of a Profound Sky item into a Profound Sky Treasure set a historical precedent. This implied that with sufficient Creation Dew, they could cultivate multiple Profound Sky Treasures, including spirit wood aged fifty to sixty millennia.

Creation Dew possesses the ability to accelerate the growth of any spiritual plant, including spiritual medicines, spiritual wood, and spiritual flowers.

Jin Lan nodded and stated, "We'll put aside the Ye family for now. Our priority is to secure the Cangyuan Realm and locate the Qiankun Bottle. I've already contacted the Tang Clan and several other major powers, providing them with some Creation Dew. They've agreed to join forces with us in the search, and I'm optimistic we'll find it."

Had the Ye family not intervened, they would have preferred not to collaborate with other factions. However, since secrecy was no longer possible, forging alliances became their only option.

As the saying goes, "one fears not scarcity but unequal distribution." If the Medicine Clan were to search for the Qiankun Bottle alone, the Ye family would undoubtedly unite with other forces against them, and other major clans might not offer assistance.

"They are all sending Mahayana cultivators to lead their forces," Xun Feng stated grimly. "Once everyone has assembled, we will proceed to the Cangyuan Realm."

After a brief discussion, they each returned to their respective homes to attend to their duties.

Several major powers from the Sky Dome Realm and Jade Cloud Realm united, deploying a large contingent of experts, led by seven Mahayana cultivators, to advance on the Cangyuan Realm.

Meanwhile, on Xuanling Continent within the Xuanyang Realm, at Tianqin Market...

The Deep Azure vessel was docked by the shore, and a line of cultivators waited to board.

Wang Qingshan, Xuan Qingzi, and Chen Yueying, all Mahayana cultivators, personally led the expedition, drawing over a hundred Integration stage cultivators and several thousand Void Refinement stage cultivators to participate in the battle.

The Wang family deployed twenty Integration cultivators: Wang Lihe, Wang Huayue, Wang Yong'an, Murong Yushuang, Wang Yi'er, and Xin Yuanyuan were among the six participating, while the remaining fourteen Integration cultivators were drawn from their allied factions and subsidiary races.

After years of development, multiple Integration stage cultivators had emerged from the Wang family's allied factions and subsidiary races, making it natural to enlist them for the conflict.

The Wang family conscripted three Integration cultivators from the Lan family, including Lan Fukong. In addition, the Wang family also recruited a hundred Void Refinement cultivators, significantly minimizing their own potential losses.

Zhenhai Palace and the Deep Azure Sect followed suit, dispatching a small number of their own high-level cultivators while drawing a large contingent of high-level cultivators from their allied forces. Song Yunlong and Li Yuqing were among those conscripted.

Song Yunlong had already reached the late-Integration stage, while Li Yuqing was currently stuck at a bottleneck in the mid-Integration stage. When she would overcome it was entirely up to her; it wouldn't be surprising if she remained in the mid-Integration stage indefinitely, as not every Integration cultivator manages to reach the late stage.

Wang Lihe and five others were all at the mid-Integration stage, while Murong Yushuang had reached the late-Integration stage. Upon reaching the Xuanling Continent, additional Wang family disciples would also join the conflict.

Li Zonghai was an undercover agent for the Essence Fire Clan. Wang Changsheng sent someone to inform Li Yuqing, who then found a pretext to eliminate both Li Zonghai and Li Fengyang.

Wang Lihe, Cheng Zhenyu, Zheng Nan, and Fang Ming stood on the deck, chatting idly. Zhao Yunxiao, who had already cultivated to the peak Integration stage, remained on the Xuanling Continent.

Chen Yueying did not possess any Putuo Ephemeral Flame Talismans, and acquiring them through trade was far from easy; Wang Changsheng himself had only managed to obtain four such talismans in exchange for a piece of Taiyi Golden Crystal.

She participated in the realm war for two main reasons: first, she hoped to acquire cultivation resources, viewing it as a valuable experience; second, she sought items capable of suppressing extraterrestrial demons, which would enable Zhenhai Palace to produce more Mahayana cultivators.

Chen Yueying had consumed a Jade Sandal Immortal Fruit, saving her thousands of years of arduous cultivation. She was currently still in the early-Mahayana stage, but if she could acquire a substantial quantity of elixirs that enhance magical power, her cultivation speed might increase significantly.

After more than half an hour, all participating cultivators had boarded the vessel. The Deep Azure then set sail, quickly disappearing into the vast expanse of the sea.

The Deep Azure was first headed to the Azure Glaze Sea Domain, which intended to dispatch one Mahayana cultivator and a contingent of other cultivators to join the conflict.

With Xuan Qingzi, a mid-Mahayana cultivator, piloting the Deep Azure, its speed was considerable.

On Green Lotus Island, within a massive, interconnected valley...

Wang Zongque and over five hundred cultivators stood in neat, solemn rows. Wang Yuyan and Su Hongshang were also present.

Shortly after, Wang Changsheng descended from the sky, landing before them with a grave expression.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Wang Zongque and the others bowed respectfully, their faces solemn.

"Is everyone present?"

Wang Changsheng's voice was heavy. The realm war had disrupted his plans, forcing him to divert manpower to refine Cross-Realm Treasure Ships and Flesh-and-Blood Golems, which would enhance the family's overall strength.

Without the realm war, he had intended to continue comprehending the spiritual domain and only begin refining the Cross-Realm Treasure Ships and Flesh-and-Blood Golems after the effects of the Myriad Spirit Dao Fruit had worn off. Now, however, he had no choice but to proceed ahead of schedule.

Possessing Cross-Realm Treasure Ships would facilitate the transportation of clan members or quick escapes, while having Flesh-and-Blood Golems or eighth-tier puppet beasts would indirectly augment Wang Qingshan's power.

No one knew how the realm war would evolve or how long it would endure, so it was prudent to enhance their strength as much as possible.

"Everyone is here," Wang Zongque confirmed.

Over the past ten millennia, the Wang family had intensified its efforts in training artifact refiners, consistently preparing for the construction of Cross-Realm Treasure Ships. Most of the cultivators present had participated in repairing the Ice Lion vessel, while a smaller number of clan members had been involved in refining the Deep Azure vessel.

"Then let's begin!" Wang Changsheng commanded. "Proceed according to the plan; I will forge the hull myself."

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Zongque replied. He then assented and directed the clan members to proceed with their tasks. The over five hundred clan members were divided into fifty groups, each comprising more than ten individuals, responsible for different sections, each performing their designated duties.
