Chapter 3597

"If they return, notify me immediately."Wang Changsheng's face lit up with joy. He gave an instruction and put away his communication disk. Wang Qingshan had acquired many materials for opening the first aperture. Once he returned, Wang Changsheng could attempt to open it. The second aperture was currently out of reach, primarily due to a lack of materials. If he succeeded in opening the first aperture, Wang Changsheng's strength would significantly increase.

Wang Changsheng stepped out and found Wang Ruyan, Sun Yuejiao, and Bai Linger chatting in a stone pavilion. Sun Yuejiao had already advanced to the Mahayana stage, and Bai Linger had recovered her cultivation. After consuming the Ephemeral Essence Fruit, she was currently at the late Integration stage.

Wang Xiuling, Wang Xiulong, Wang Yangsheng, and Liu Yushuang had been transferred back to the Profound Spirit Continent. They were currently at the mid-Integration stage. With Wang Chuanming and other clan members missing, and Wang Qingfeng and others in Canghai, there were few Wang family Integration cultivators in the Profound Spirit Continent capable of shouldering major responsibilities. Thus, they had to be brought back. They were currently cultivating in seclusion within the Thousand Butterfly Secret Realm, being groomed as future Mahayana cultivators.

"Father (Ninth Uncle)," Sun Yuejiao and Bai Linger exclaimed, quickly rising to greet Wang Changsheng."Yuejiao has advanced to the Mahayana stage, excellent. Linger, once you reach the peak of the Integration stage, you can consider attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage," Wang Changsheng praised with a smile.

"I've refined five Cosmos Demon-Suppressing Talismans, and I still have plenty of materials to create more," Wang Ruyan said with a faint smile. They had confiscated an eighth-tier Golden Glazed Beast hide from Huoyunzi, which Wang Ruyan used to refine the talismans. She had already produced five. Wang Yulan had not long advanced to the Mahayana stage, so she would learn to refine Cosmos Demon-Suppressing Talismans from Wang Ruyan later.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "You all chat. I'm going out for a walk."With that, Wang Changsheng left Qinglian Peak. He went to the family's artifact refinement hall and arrived outside a valley enveloped in red mist, where he sent out a sound transmission talisman.

Soon, Wang Yuyu and Su Hongshang flew out from the valley."Greetings, Old Ancestor," they said, bowing respectfully."I came to see you. There's no need to be formal," Wang Changsheng said kindly. They were outstanding younger generations of the family. Wang Yulan and Wang Yidao had already advanced to the Mahayana stage, while Su Hongshang and Lin Yiming were only at the Void Refinement stage.

Wang Yuyu dared not delay and personally invited Wang Changsheng into their residence. Passing through the red mist, a vast red manor came into view, featuring red bricks, glazed tiles, climbing vines, verdant bamboo, small bridges, and gardens.

Wang Changsheng sat down in a red stone pavilion, with Su Hongshang and Wang Yuyu standing by his side. Wang Changsheng inquired about their cultivation progress, and they answered truthfully. Both practiced fire-attribute cultivation techniques and were artifact refiners. Wang Yuyu was more skilled at refining puppet beasts, while Su Hongshang excelled at refining treasures. They often exchanged knowledge and collaborated on refining artifacts.

"Artifact refining serves cultivation; cultivation comes first. If your cultivation doesn't keep up, no matter how good the treasures you possess, you won't be able to unleash their full power," Wang Changsheng taught patiently. Some cultivators become overly obsessed with a certain skill, neglecting their own cultivation and perishing prematurely."Your grandchildren will bear your teachings in mind, Old Ancestor," Wang Yuyu and Su Hongshang replied.

Wang Changsheng nodded and chatted for over half an hour before leaving to visit other outstanding younger generations. This also served to encourage the juniors to cultivate diligently; as long as they were excellent enough, the Old Ancestor would visit them. While he could have summoned them to Qinglian Peak, Wang Changsheng preferred to see them in their most authentic state by visiting their residences directly.

In the Celestial Dome Realm, on the Myriad Dragon Continent. The Qinglong Mountain Range stretched for tens of millions of miles. The spiritual energy here was sparse, and high-level cultivators rarely lingered.

A tremendous roar echoed, and a massive crimson mushroom cloud soared into the sky from deep within the mountains, a striking sight. In an open area deep within the mountain range, the ground was pitted and scarred, with several corpses lying about. Wang Chuanming and Lan Fukong hovered high above, panting and pale-faced.

The twelve Integration cultivators had jointly attacked the Golden Kui clan's ancestral land, the Golden Kui Mountain Range. The Golden Kui clan's protective formation was a seventh-tier array. Wang Chuanming used a Spirit-Breaking Shuttle, and with the combined efforts of the twelve Integration cultivators, they quickly breached the Golden Kui Mountain Range. After an intense battle, they eliminated the Integration-stage foreign cultivators.

They plundered the Golden Kui clan's treasury, but no sooner had they left than their enemies gave chase. Wang Chuanming unleashed an eighth-tier talisman to break through the encirclement; it had been given to him by Wang Qingshan for self-defense. It would have been better if they hadn't dealt with the Golden Kui clan, as the foreign cultivators had thought them dead. After their assault on the Golden Kui Mountain Range, the胧 clan issued a hefty bounty for their capture.

This was foreign territory, where humans were not welcome at all. Disguises were useless; whenever they encountered foreign cultivators, they would be attacked. They could only go into hiding, but even so, they were still subjected to assaults from foreign cultivators."It's finally over," Lan Fukong said with a pale, furrowed brow. "These guys are truly persistent, we run into them everywhere."

"Let's go support Zongyun and the others first. It seems we need to find a dangerous place to hide," Wang Chuanming said. With a single gesture, the storage bracelets on the corpses flew towards him. He transformed into a streak of light and soared into the distance, with Lan Fukong following close behind. Not long after, they appeared above a massive valley. Wang Zongyun and Lin Yiyi stood within the valley, with two corpses lying on the ground.

"Where are the three of them?" Wang Chuanming asked curiously. Zheng Qiuyue and others had died at the hands of foreign cultivators, with only some survivors remaining. He was asking about Liu Yao, Wang Mengshan, and Granny Tianxue. If they weren't in foreign territory, he truly wouldn't want to cooperate with them.

"They're dealing with another group of enemies; they should be done soon!" Wang Zongyun speculated. No sooner had he spoken than a silver streak of light flew from afar. It flickered and stopped, revealing a shimmering silver flying boat with Liu Yao and the other two standing on it.

Given the Wang family's current strength, Wang Mengshan no longer needed to curry favor with Liu Yao. However, revealing his identity would not serve much purpose; it was better to remain hidden. This way, Wang Chuanming could clearly ascertain Liu Yao's and Granny Tianxue's thoughts and plans.

"Have you all dealt with the enemies?" Wang Chuanming asked."Yes, but this can't go on," Liu Yao suggested. "We're down to just seven people now. We need to find a safe place to lie low for a while, preferably somewhere dangerous."

"I already have a plan," Wang Chuanming stated. "How about we hide in the Heavenly Rainbow Grotto-Heaven?" They had found many valuable items in the Golden Kui clan's treasury, including two Heavenly Thunder Demon-Slaying Beads, disposable treasures specifically used against extraterrestrial demons. A minor clan's cultivator had discovered a Mahayana cultivator's meditation cave. Upon receiving and verifying the news, the Golden Kui clan immediately dispatched people to wipe out the minor clan, acquiring the two Heavenly Thunder Demon-Slaying Beads, which they intended to use for cultivating Mahayana cultivators. However, Wang Chuanming and his group then launched their assault. Of the two Heavenly Thunder Demon-Slaying Beads, Wang Chuanming and Liu Yao each had one.

"The Heavenly Rainbow Grotto-Heaven? That's quite far from here. Are we going that far?" Liu Yao asked with a frown."As long as we can shake off these flies, a little distance won't matter," Wang Chuanming dismissed the concern. He intended to cultivate in seclusion at the Heavenly Rainbow Grotto-Heaven and attempt to break through to the Mahayana stage.

Without Mahayana cultivation, one was merely a slightly stronger ant on the Myriad Dragon Continent. An ant was still an ant; a Mahayana cultivator could crush them with a single finger. Liu Yao pondered for a moment before agreeing. They left the place and headed for the Heavenly Rainbow Grotto-Heaven.
