Chapter 3598

More than a hundred years had passed, as spring turned to autumn.

Xuanyang Realm, Canghai.

On Canghai Island, Wang Yingjie, Wang Yuyan, and Chen Yuting stood atop a high peak, gazing with solemn expressions at the seven-colored thunderclouds in the sky.

Wang Qingfeng was attempting to break through to the Mahayana Stage, having already overcome the Inner Demon Tribulation. He had been at the perfected Integration Stage for a long time, constantly refining his magic power. Had he not lacked Qiankun Demon Suppressing Talismans, he would have attempted to reach the Mahayana Stage much earlier.

The last time Liu Hongxue came to Canghai, she brought a batch of cultivation resources, including three Qiankun Demon Suppressing Talismans. After delivering the cultivation resources, Liu Hongxue returned to Xuanyun Continent. Several hundred years had passed since then.

A loud thunderclap echoed as a thick, seven-colored lightning bolt sliced through the sky, striking a towering mountain peak. Wang Qingfeng stood at the peak, his face pale. A faint silver light barrier inverted over him, bearing a lightning pattern on its surface. The seven-colored lightning struck the silver light barrier with a dull thud, then exploded, transforming into a massive mass of seven-colored lightning that engulfed Wang Qingfeng.

Soon, the second seven-colored lightning bolt descended, followed by the third… Rumbling thunder echoed, the seven-colored lightning grew increasingly dazzling, and the entire island gently trembled.

After the eighth seven-colored lightning bolt descended, the seven-colored thunderclouds churned like boiling water, transforming into a massive seven-colored thunder tiger, surrounded by streaks of lightning, which pounced down from high above.

As the seven-colored thunder tiger approached within a hundred zhang of the peak, a fierce red blade light swept out, splitting it in half. With a deafening roar, a colossal seven-colored lightning surge shot into the sky, shaking the ground and mountains.

After a moment, a red rainbow flew out from the lightning, landing before Wang Yingjie. It was Wang Qingfeng, who had successfully entered the Mahayana Stage.

"Congratulations, Senior Qingfeng, on advancing to the Mahayana Stage!" Wang Yingjie and the other two all congratulated Wang Qingfeng, overjoyed.

"Yingjie, have the battles ended?" Wang Qingfeng asked, having been in seclusion for the past few centuries and completely unaware of the outside world.

"The enemies attacked Qinglian Island, but the Ancestor has already eliminated them all. There wasn't much impact," Wang Yingjie replied truthfully.

Wang Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I'll go back and rest first to consolidate my cultivation." After saying this, Wang Qingfeng transformed into a red streak of light and departed.

"Send someone to clean up," Wang Yingjie gave the instruction, then returned to cultivate.

Xuanyun Continent.

Jade Lotus Mountain Range, a stronghold of the Wang family in the interior.

Wang Changsheng stood atop a high peak, gazing at the thunderclouds high in the sky. Wang Lin was attempting to break through to the Mahayana Stage. Wang Zhu had already died under the Great Heavenly Tribulation, while Wang Xiao and Wang Yuan were currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Mahayana Stage.

Rumbling thunder echoed as thick silver lightning bolts struck down with astonishing might. After a short while, the thunderclouds were still several dozen zhang in size.

Wang Changsheng frowned. No special lightning power had appeared after a long delay, which was not a good sign. Could Wang Lin attract the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning? It shouldn't be that bad! Even Wang Mengli hadn't attracted the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, but nothing was absolute, and there were always exceptions.

A loud thunderclap echoed as a thick silver lightning bolt struck down. The thunderclouds churned violently, and eight different colored electric arcs emerged.

"Eight-colored Divine Lightning!"

Wang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. If there was only one eight-colored divine lightning bolt, Wang Lin passing the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation wouldn't be a problem.

The eight-colored thunderclouds churned violently, transforming into a massive eight-colored Qilin, surrounded by streaks of lightning. The eight-colored Qilin pounced down from high above. A thick water-wave tornado shot up from within the lightning, and simultaneously, a thick blue lightning bolt flew out, striking the eight-colored Qilin.

After a deafening roar, the eight-colored Qilin's body exploded, transforming into a massive mass of eight-colored lightning that engulfed the valley where Wang Lin was.

After a moment, countless blue water vapor emerged around Wang Changsheng. The blue water vapor suddenly condensed, taking on the appearance of Wang Lin.

"Good, you've finally advanced to the Mahayana Stage," Wang Changsheng's face showed delight.

"It's all thanks to Master's guidance; otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today," Wang Lin said gratefully.

"Let's go! We'll head back to Qinglian Island first." Wang Changsheng took Wang Lin, using a large-scale teleportation formation, to teleport back to Qinglian Island.

Upon returning to Qinglian Island, Wang Changsheng contacted Wang Yongqian via a communication disk and asked, "Yongqian, have Qing Shan and the others returned?" If a Mahayana cultivator personally piloted a cross-realm spirit treasure ship, the speed would be much faster.

"Not yet, once they return…" Before Wang Yongqian could finish speaking, a piercing shriek rang out, interrupting her. Soon, her voice resumed: "Ancestor, Senior Qing Shan and the others have just returned."

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Understood. You and they come to Qinglian Peak."

Not long after, Wang Qingshan, Wang Mengbin, Wang Qingcheng, Wang Xiangrong, and Wang Yongqian arrived.

"You've finally returned. Qing Shan, you've worked hard this time," Wang Changsheng said with a smile, his gaze falling on Wang Qingshan with a look of approval. Wang Qingshan had gone to fight in another realm, not only surviving but also acquiring many cultivation resources, which was particularly difficult.

"Ninth Uncle, you're too kind," Wang Qingshan replied. "This is what I should do. In the past, my cultivation was low, so I couldn't help much, and it was always you and Ninth Aunt who had to charge forward. This time, it's our turn. These are the cultivation resources I obtained."

Wang Qingshan took out two storage bracelets, one green and one blue, giving the green one to Wang Changsheng and the blue one to Wang Yongqian. The green storage bracelet mainly contained artifact-refining materials and aperture-opening materials, while the blue one contained cultivation resources confiscated from foreign races. The former was for Wang Changsheng, and the latter for the family.

There were four pages of the Heavenly Void Jade Scroll alone. Normally, obtaining even one page would be remarkable, but to suddenly obtain four was unprecedented. The only drawback was that none recorded powerful secret techniques or cultivation methods.

Wang Changsheng took the storage bracelet, swept his divine sense over it, and was somewhat surprised. When they had communicated earlier via the large-scale communication formation, Wang Qingshan hadn't specified how many aperture-opening materials there were; he hadn't expected there to be so many. If it weren't for encountering a major battle and them raiding the foreign race's treasury, Wang Qingshan wouldn't have obtained so many aperture-opening materials so easily.

When Wang Qingcheng and Wang Mengbin participated in the war, the Wang family requested ten items from the Ye family, which included aperture-opening materials. The Ye family, however, didn't know what they were. Now, with the aperture-opening materials Wang Qingshan brought back, Wang Changsheng would have no problem opening his first aperture, with plenty of materials still remaining.

"Father, this is from the Ye family," Wang Qingcheng said. "It's their ancestors' insights on opening apertures; they said they hoped it would be helpful to us." Wang Qingcheng took out a white jade slip and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

"How did the Ye family know we have a secret method for opening apertures? How did they know I was going to open an aperture?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"We inquired with Ye family cultivators about insights into opening apertures, claiming we obtained a secret method for opening apertures from Heavenly Fire Palace," Wang Qingcheng explained. "They didn't think much of it, and Fairy Ye gave us the insights of their ancestors on opening apertures."
