Chapter 3549: Dispersed Breakthrough

A golden light illuminated the void thousands of miles away, revealing the figure of a burly man in golden robes. His eyes were filled with apprehension.

"The Ye Family!" the burly man in golden robes said in a deep voice. The two Grand Ascension cultivators of the Ye Family could merge with their True Spirit Incarnations, making their strength formidable.

The Nine-Headed Ice Lion let out a beast roar that echoed through heaven and earth. A vast white sound wave swept over, while dense magical light rays shot directly towards Chi Huan and her companions.

The Mountain Ape swung its golden giant club, smashing it towards Chi Huan and her companions.

Shi Yan summoned the Heavenly Cocoon Cauldron and cast a spell into it. A large expanse of yellow flames swept out, tearing open the void. The yellow flames surged violently, transforming into a thick yellow fire dragon that rushed straight towards Chi Huan and her companions.

Chi Huan and her companions dared not be careless and quickly summoned their treasures to defend.

The burly man in golden robes formed a hand seal, and his golden long blade flew back. Simultaneously, a large expanse of crimson flames erupted around him, shielding him.

After a series of thunderous roars, various colored spiritual lights illuminated the high sky, standing out conspicuously.

Seizing this opportune moment, Ye Yunfei and his companions landed on the Ice Lion. The Ice Lion transformed into a white streak of light and sped away through the air.

A streak of green light appeared on the distant horizon. Not long after, the green light stopped, revealing a massive ship shimmering with green light. Eight Grand Ascension cultivators, seven men and one woman, stood on its deck. Leading them was a corpulent old man in golden robes, whose eyes gleamed with a cold light.

Tong Xiang, a mid-Grand Ascension stage cultivator, was from the Tang Clan.

"Chase them, don't let them escape," Chi Huan said in a deep voice.

Suddenly, a yellow light flew out from the Ice Lion, revealing a massive ship shimmering with yellow light. The yellow ship and the Ice Lion flew in different directions at high speed.

"Hmph, dispersing to escape? We'll split up too. We must catch them," Chi Huan said, her face filled with killing intent. The Tang Clan had conscripted five Grand Ascension cultivators from their subordinate races, and only by uniting with allies had they gathered so many Grand Ascension cultivators. Naturally, they couldn't let Ye Xuanfeng and his companions escape.

Luo Yushuo's soul was damaged, and his strength was greatly diminished. If they missed this opportunity, it wouldn't be so easy to kill him in the future.

Chi Huan and her companions split into two groups, piloting two Cross-Spirit Treasure Ships in pursuit.

Not long after, the four Cross-Spirit Treasure Ships vanished on the horizon.

On Sea Ox Island in the Profound Sun Realm, the streets were bustling with people and noisy with carriages and horses. It was a very lively place.

In a secluded small courtyard with green tiles, Wang Qingcheng and Monk Yuan Xiao sat in a green stone pavilion, conversing.

Monk Yuan Xiao had already advanced to the Grand Ascension stage. Master Miao De was in seclusion for cultivation and was temporarily not seeing guests.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, rest assured," Monk Yuan Xiao said sincerely. "As long as your clansmen are within the territory of our Heavenly Buddhist Sect, we will protect them."

Master Miao De had a good relationship with the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple. Since the Wang clan members were opening businesses on Sea Ox Island, it was no trouble for Monk Yuan Xiao to help look after them.

"Then I'll trouble Master Yuan Xiao. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay long," Wang Qingcheng said, rising to take his leave.

He piloted a Cross-Spirit Treasure Ship to the Azure Sea, a journey that took him over three hundred years. After nearing the Heavenly Sun Sand Sea, he transferred to a Trans-Sea Thunder Boat. He had originally intended to visit Master Miao De, but since Miao De was in seclusion for cultivation and temporarily not seeing guests, Wang Qingcheng found Monk Yuan Xiao instead.

Since the Wang clan members were opening businesses on Sea Ox Island, Monk Yuan Xiao naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, safe journey!" Monk Yuan Xiao personally saw Wang Qingcheng off.

After leaving Sea Ox Island, Wang Qingcheng summoned his Trans-Sea Thunder Boat, carrying Wang Shenfeng and hundreds of other clan members away from the area.

Over half a month later, the Trans-Sea Thunder Boat appeared over a boundless sea.

Wang Qingcheng looked towards the distant black thunderclouds, his expression solemn.

He formed a hand seal, and the Trans-Sea Thunder Boat glowed with dazzling silver light, flying towards the black sea ahead at high speed.

As soon as it entered the airspace above the black sea, loud peals of thunder immediately echoed from high above. A black lightning bolt struck down, landing on the silver barrier covering the Trans-Sea Thunder Boat with a dull thud, and then the black lightning dissipated.

Soon after, a second and then a third black lightning bolt struck.

Wang Qingcheng changed his hand seal, and the Trans-Sea Thunder Boat accelerated its speed.

Over two months later, the Trans-Sea Thunder Boat appeared over Azure Sea Island. Wang Yingjie, Wang Qingfeng, Dong Xueli, and Duan Tongtian received the news and came out to greet him.

"Brother, you've finally arrived," Wang Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Ancestor Qingcheng, was your journey smooth?" Wang Yingjie asked with concern.

Wang Qingcheng nodded and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

He formed a hand seal, and the Trans-Sea Thunder Boat slowly descended onto a bluestone plaza. Wang Shenfeng and the others disembarked one after another, and Wang Yuyan was responsible for settling them in.

Wang Qingcheng, Wang Yingjie, Wang Qingfeng, Dong Xueli, and Duan Tongtian came to the Azure Sea Hall and sat inside, chatting.

"Uncle-in-law, this is a Heaven and Earth Demon Suppressing Talisman. It has a similar miraculous effect to the Puxian Fire Talisman. My mother personally instructed me that I must give you one," Wang Qingcheng said, taking out an exquisite green jade box and handing it to Duan Tongtian.

Duan Tongtian had already reached the Grand Completion stage of Integration and could now consider attempting to break through to the Grand Ascension stage.

"This is too precious. Keep it for Qingfeng," Duan Tongtian tactfully refused, knowing it wasn't easy for the Wang Family to obtain a Heaven and Earth Demon Suppressing Talisman.

"Father, please take it! I'm not in a hurry," Wang Qingfeng said sincerely.

"You should just accept it. We're family," Wang Yingjie chimed in, persuading him.

Duan Tongtian nodded and accepted it.

"Yingjie, these are the insights from Father, Mother, and Seventh Brother on comprehending the Spirit Domain," Wang Qingcheng said. "There's also a Reflection Crystal, which records Father's explanation of the process of comprehending the Spirit Domain. I hope it helps you." He then took out a green storage ring and handed it to Wang Yingjie.

Wang Yingjie thanked him and accepted it, then said, "Ancestor Qingcheng, since you are presiding over the Azure Sea, I'll return to the Profound Spirit Continent."

While staying in the Azure Sea was certainly safe, he also wanted to contribute to the clan.

"No need. You should focus on your cultivation," Wang Qingcheng tactfully refused. "I still need to go to the Thousand Spirit Continent, so I won't be staying here for too long."

"The Clan Head contacted us via the large communication array," Wang Yingjie remembered something and added, "saying that Ruyi and the others collected a piece of rank-eight Golden Glazed Beast hide."

Wang Qingcheng was overjoyed and said, "That's wonderful! Once the large communication array is set up, I'll head to the Thousand Spirit Continent. The Trans-Sea Thunder Boat will stay here then, and I'll pilot a Cross-Spirit Treasure Ship to the Thousand Spirit Continent."

Azure Sea Island currently has a large communication array that can connect with Azure Lotus Island. Wang Qingcheng also had someone build a large communication array on Sea Ox Island. Now, they needed to build another large teleportation array on Azure Sea Island.

This way, if clan members in the Heavenly Sun Sand Sea encountered trouble, they could use the large communication array to notify clan members in the Azure Sea, and the Azure Sea clan members could use the Trans-Sea Thunder Boat to leave the Azure Sea and provide assistance.

"I wonder how Seventh Brother is doing," he said. "Have you contacted the clan and asked about his situation?"

"We've inquired," Wang Qingfeng said with a smile. "Some Void Refinement cultivators perished, but the Integration cultivators and Seventh Brother's vital soul lamp are all fine, so he should be safe."

Wang Qingcheng nodded, his face filled with relief.

Three days later, Wang Qingcheng and Wang Yingjie departed on the Trans-Sea Thunder Boat. After leaving the Thunder Sea, Wang Yingjie piloted the Trans-Sea Thunder Boat back to the Azure Sea, while Wang Qingcheng piloted a Cross-Spirit Treasure Ship to the Thousand Spirit Continent.
