Chapter 3546: Meeting "Wang Mingren" Again

Three days later, in a secluded manor, Wang Qingcheng, Liu Hongxue, and Wang Mengbin were conversing in a blue stone pavilion.

"Mengbin, Hongxue, these are the insights my parents and Seventh Uncle gained from comprehending spiritual domains. I hope they are helpful to you. Also, here are the echo crystals my father made, in which he personally describes his process of comprehending a spiritual domain."

Wang Qingcheng took out six jade slips of different colors and two blue echo crystals, distributing them to Wang Mengbin and Liu Hongxue.

Wang Mengbin and Liu Hongxue thanked him and accepted them.

Wang Qingcheng produced a topographical map marked with numerous labels, including "Canghai" and "Qinglian Island."

This map, created by Wang Mengbin, would allow clan members to travel to Canghai in the future.

"I need to make a trip to Canghai. My parents are in seclusion, comprehending spiritual domains, so please look after the family," Wang Qingcheng said in a deep voice.

Wang Ruyan had crafted three Qiankun Demon-Suppressing Talismans; Wang Yidao had used one, leaving two. Wang Yibing had already cultivated to the Grand Completion of the Integration Stage and was currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Mahayana Stage. Wang Qingcheng needed to travel to Canghai to deliver one of the Qiankun Demon-Suppressing Talismans. Additionally, he planned to station personnel on Manatee Island. Since Master Miaode had advanced to the Mahayana Stage, the status of the human race in the Heavenly Sun Sand Sea had significantly increased. The Wang family could send some clan members to the Heavenly Sun Sand Sea, both to collect cultivation resources and to facilitate communication with their clan members in Canghai.

Qinglian Island was too far from Canghai; even with a Trans-Spirit Treasure Ship, it would take centuries to arrive, and without a Trans-Ocean Thunder Boat, entry was impossible, making communication highly inconvenient.

Establishing a large communication array on Manatee Island would allow clan members from Canghai to assist if those in the Heavenly Sun Sand Sea encountered trouble.

"Ancestor Qingcheng, allow me to go personally! I just returned from Canghai," Liu Hongxue offered.

"No, the great war isn't over yet, and you're busy with alchemy. I'll go myself. I also need to visit Qianling Continent, hoping to collect some rare cultivation resources." Wang Qingcheng gently declined, implying that everyone should contribute to the family.

No one knew how long the war would last, and having the Trans-Spirit Treasure Ship at hand would make it easier to gather cultivation resources.

Wang Changsheng did not want to expose the "Qinglian" vessel, so obscuring the characters on its sails with a treasure would suffice.

"How about I go instead? I'm more familiar with Canghai, and I can make a detour to Qianling Continent," Wang Mengbin suggested.

"You all have many responsibilities after advancing to the Mahayana Stage. There's no need to argue; I'll go," Wang Qingcheng insisted.

Wang Mengbin and Liu Hongxue stopped arguing and agreed.

After chatting for a while, Wang Qingcheng departed.

On a bluestone plaza, Wang Shenfeng and hundreds of other clan members stood in neat formation. Wang Shenfeng had already advanced to the Integration Stage.

Wang Qingcheng raised his right hand, and a streak of green light shot forth, transforming into a colossal green ship over three hundred zhang long. The characters "Qinglian" on its sails shimmered with spiritual light, exceptionally conspicuous.

Wang Qingcheng flicked his left hand, and a light yellow jade pendant flew out, landing on the sail. The yellow jade pendant then emitted a dazzling yellow glow, enveloping the sail.

Soon after, the yellow light dispersed, and the characters "Qinglian" and the blue lotus disappeared. Even a Mahayana cultivator might not be able to see through the concealment.

Wang Qingcheng flew onto the deck and commanded, "Board the ship."

"Yes, Ancestor Qingcheng," Wang Shenfeng and the others responded in unison, boarding the ship one after another.

Once they were all aboard the Qinglian, Wang Qingcheng executed a hand seal. The Qinglian glowed with blinding green light, transformed into a long green rainbow, and shot through the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

Qianling Continent, Qinglin Valley.

The streets were bustling with noise from people and carriages.

In a secluded small courtyard with blue tiles, Wang Yixin, Wang Ruyi, and Long Qingfeng sat in a blue stone pavilion. Wang Ruyi held a piece of golden beast hide in her hand.

The golden beast hide was about a zhang long and two chi wide.

This was the hide of an eighth-tier Golden Glazed Beast, which they had exchanged for a Lightning Transformation Talisman from an Integration Stage rogue cultivator.

The Golden Glazed Beast was also known as the Qian Beast, and its hide could be used to refine Qiankun Demon-Suppressing Talismans.

"This is wonderful! If we can send this hide back to the clan, the Ancestor will surely be very pleased," Wang Ruyi said with a smile.

Wang Yixin nodded and said, "I'll use the large communication array shortly to inform the family and have them send someone over."

Due to the war, the Ice Lion vessel was temporarily not coming to Qianling Continent, so the cultivation resources they had gathered could not yet be sent back to Qinglian Island.

"What are you all talking about? You sound so happy," a familiar male voice resounded. Wang Xiangrong emerged from the attic. His aura was significantly stronger than before, having advanced to the Grand Completion of the Integration Stage. He had already reached the late Integration Stage several millennia ago, and now he had finally advanced to the Grand Completion of the Integration Stage.

"We found a piece of eighth-tier Golden Glazed Beast hide; the Ancestor has been searching for this item," Wang Ruyi said with a smile, shaking the hide in her hand.

Hearing this, Wang Xiangrong's face lit up with joy.

"Ancestor, the Qin family is holding a Mahayana celebration and has invited our Wang family to attend. Would you like to go?" Wang Yixin asked, recalling something.

The Qin family was a cultivation family supported by the Ye family. With the emergence of a Mahayana cultivator, they had sent out invitations to many guests, and the Wang family had also received one.

In the past ten thousand years, the number of Mahayana cultivators in Xuanyang Realm had increased significantly. It was unclear whether major powers were intentionally cultivating them.

Wang Xiangrong nodded and said, "I'll lead a team there! Perhaps we can even acquire another piece of eighth-tier Golden Glazed Beast hide."

After a brief chat, Wang Yixin and the other two took their leave, each going about their business. Wang Xiangrong then left his residence and strolled through the streets.

It was midday, sunny and bright, with many pedestrians on the street.

He encountered many acquaintances along the way, who all greeted him.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, it's been a while! Your cultivation has advanced significantly. Congratulations!" a pleasant female voice resonated.

Wang Xiangrong looked towards the source of the voice and saw a curvaceous young woman in a purple dress walking towards him, accompanied by a young man in a white Confucian robe.

Upon seeing the young man in white, Wang Xiangrong's pupils contracted.

The young man in white looked exactly like Wang Mingren. As Wang Changsheng's clone, Wang Xiangrong had seen portraits of Wang Mingren and knew that Wang Mingren was Wang Changsheng's clan uncle.

There was a Wang Mingren in the Underworld, and the Star River Divine Lord from the Immortal Realm Fragment looked identical to Wang Mingren. Now, another cultivator looked exactly like Wang Mingren, which certainly could not be a coincidence.

"Madam Lin, long time no see. And who might this fellow Daoist be?" Wang Xiangrong asked politely.

The young woman in the purple dress was Lin Xin, a disciple of Fairy Furong, who was the strongest rogue cultivator in Xuanyang Realm.

"My name is Xu Bin, from Haoran Palace in Bailu Realm. It's a pleasure to meet Fellow Daoist Wang," the young man in white said, cupping his fists with a gentle voice.

"So, it's Fellow Daoist Xu from Haoran Palace. My apologies for not recognizing you," Wang Xiangrong said courteously.

The Bailu Realm was separated from the Xuanyang Realm by several other realms. Haoran Palace had considerable influence in the Bailu Realm, with several Mahayana cultivators presiding over it.
