Chapter 3600: 妙音宗

Three days later, Wang Changsheng took down the jade slip, his expression grim.

He took out two jade boxes and a jade case, which contained Star River Divine Sand, Primordial Sun Jade Marrow, and Twin Polarity Agate Stone, respectively. These three materials were needed to open the first aperture.

A miniature Nascent Soul flew out from Wang Changsheng's head and hovered in mid-air.

Wang Changsheng opened the jade boxes and jade case, revealing the materials inside.

With a single gesture, the miniature Nascent Soul caused some silvery gleaming sand grains to fly out; these were precisely the Star River Divine Sand.

The Star River Divine Sand flew towards the miniature Nascent Soul, enveloping its body. A faint silver light glowed around the miniature Nascent Soul's body as Wang Changsheng continuously formed hand seals, sending streams of incantations into it.

In a quiet estate, Wang Yongqian, Wang Lihe, Wang Huayue, Wang Mousen, Wang Yier, and Wang Zongque sat in a stone pavilion, discussing something.

Apart from Wang Yongqian, the other five, including Wang Lihe, were all at the late-stage Body Integration realm. None of them had consumed a Bloom-essence Fruit before.

Wang Qingshan had brought back over twenty Bloom-essence Fruits. Wang Yongqian planned to give them to some of the more highly cultivated clan members to save them a period of arduous cultivation. As for whether they could advance to the Mahayana stage, that would depend entirely on them, though the family would provide spiritual treasures and Qiankun Demon Suppression Talismans.

"Each of you will receive a Bloom-essence Fruit," Wang Yongqian said. "We hope you can advance to the Mahayana stage. The family will provide you with Qiankun Demon Suppression Talismans."

As Wang Yongqian spoke, she took out five jade cases of various colors and handed them to the five, including Wang Lihe.

Wang Yuanwei's physical body had been destroyed when she sought treasures in the Immortal Realm Fragment. The clan elders had reshaped her body for her, and she had long since recovered her cultivation. After consuming a Bloom-essence Fruit, which saved her many years of arduous cultivation, she was now at the perfected Body Integration stage and was currently in secluded cultivation, attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage.

The five, including Wang Lihe, repeatedly agreed and took the jade cases.

"After reaching the perfected Body Integration stage," Wang Yongqian admonished, "you will need at least a thousand years to hone your magic power before considering attempting to reach the Mahayana stage."

The five, including Wang Lihe, naturally had no objections, as this was valuable advice.

After some casual conversation, the five, including Wang Lihe, bid farewell and departed.

Wang Yongqian took out a golden communication plate, cast an incantation into it, and said, "Ruyi, Qingfeng, come to my residence. Bring Xiuling and the others with you."

With war imminent, the Wang family had to increase its strength as quickly as possible. There were still over ten Bloom-essence Fruits left; leaving them in the family's treasure vault was just letting them sit there. It would be better to give them to clan members at the mid-stage Body Integration realm to help them reach the late-stage Body Integration realm sooner.

Besides the Bloom-essence Fruits, the Wang family also brought out some rare cultivation resources to accelerate the cultivation speed of some clan members. It was always good to have more experts; with stronger reserves, the number of Mahayana cultivators in the Wang family could also increase.

"Yes, family head," Wang Ruyi replied.

Putting away the communication plate, Wang Yongqian's expression grew solemn. No one knew when the inter-realm war would truly end; perhaps next time, even more powerful Mahayana cultivators would arrive.

She thought of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan and felt considerably relieved. With the Ancestors present, the sky wouldn't fall.

Under Wang Yongqian's arrangements, the family brought out large amounts of cultivation resources to intensify the cultivation of clan members. They aimed to cultivate a group of experts in a short period while also actively preparing for war, including artifact refining, alchemy, talisman crafting, and array formation.

Time flew by, and over five hundred years passed.

In the Sky Dome Realm, on the Golden Dragon Continent.

The Heavenly Roar Mountain Range was located in the central part of the Golden Dragon Continent, serving as the ancestral land of the Tang Clan.

In a secluded estate, Tong Shan, Jin Lan, Chi Huan, and seven other Mahayana cultivators sat in a green stone pavilion. It had taken them over six hundred years to return to the Sky Dome Realm.

To deal with the Ye family and the Stone Cocoon Clan, the Tang Clan had spent heavily to invite allies to intervene. In response, the allies of the Ye family and Stone Cocoon Clan also got involved. Multiple realms had erupted into conflict, turning into a chaotic mess. The war was escalating, seemingly on the verge of spreading further.

With the war having developed to this point, no single power could stop the conflict. Some powers had suffered heavy losses and were determined to recover them with interest, refusing to be dissuaded. Others had gained significant advantages and would certainly not spit out the meat they had already gotten their hands on.

Tong Shan didn't care about the conflicts erupting in multiple realms, nor how many cultivators died. What he found strange was that no major clan had attacked the Tang Clan's ancestral land. They had specifically set up an inescapable net, ensuring that if a powerful enemy truly came to attack, they wouldn't gain any advantage but would suffer a heavy loss.

"Fellow Daoist Hao, have Fellow Daoist Xun and the others still not found the Qiankun Bottle?" Chi Huan looked towards a ruddy-faced old man in a green robe and asked curiously.

Hao Sen, a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator, was from the Tang Clan.

"Not yet," Hao Sen replied. "With the inter-realm communication array active, if there's any news, they will contact us immediately."

The young master of the Ling Clan, carrying the Qiankun Bottle, had disappeared without a trace. It was too difficult to find a single cultivator in an entire realm.

"Is there any news about Mahayana cultivators from the Sky Moon Clan or the Stone Cocoon Clan?" Tong Shan asked with a frown.

He suspected that Mahayana cultivators from both clans had gone to the Cangyuan Realm, as the Qiankun Bottle held a greater allure for them compared to the treasures in the Tang Clan's ancestral land.

"None?" Hao Sen speculated. "Perhaps they haven't encountered them yet!"

He took out a pale green magic disk, cast an incantation into it, and his expression darkened.

"What happened?" Jin Lan asked with a frown.

"The young master of the Ling Clan has been found, and the Qiankun Bottle was indeed on him!" Hao Sen frowned. "However, the Qiankun Bottle was seized by the Profound Sound Sect from the Profound Sound Realm."

"Did Fellow Daoist Xun and the others pursue them?" Tong Shan said sternly. "We absolutely cannot let them take the Qiankun Bottle back to the Profound Sound Realm."

"Fellow Daoist Xun and the others did pursue them," Hao Sen said with a frown. "The Profound Sound Sect's leaders were the Profound Sound Immortals. Among them, Fairy Jinpa possessed the Heavenly Sound Body and was highly skilled in musical cultivation, making Fellow Daoist Xun and the others no match for them."

Mahayana-stage sound cultivators were already difficult to deal with, and sound cultivators possessing the Heavenly Sound Body were even harder. To have survived at Fairy Jinpa's hands was already a blessing in disguise amidst misfortune.

"The Profound Sound Sect! Fairy Jinpa! Heavenly Sound Body!"

Tong Shan's gaze was grim. After a moment of thought, he said, "First, release the news. Contact our allies or friendly forces in other realms and ask them to help us intercept them."

"Fellow Daoist Hao, are you certain it was the Profound Sound Sect who obtained the Qiankun Bottle?" Chi Huan asked, still somewhat uneasy.

"Fairy Jinpa found the remnants of the Ling Clan," Hao Sen explained slowly. "However, some managed to escape, and the news spread. When Fellow Daoist Xun and the others received the news, they immediately organized forces to intercept the Profound Sound Sect cultivators. Fairy Jinpa has mid-stage Mahayana cultivation, and with a fragmented Xuantian treasure, she unleashed sound attacks. Even mid-stage Mahayana cultivators couldn't withstand them for long. Treasures that counter sound attacks are rare, and even if countered, it doesn't mean they can be ignored."

Chi Huan suddenly understood, nodded, and said, "As long as the news is accurate, that's enough. Let's split up and act! We'll give the Ye family a break for now. The Profound Sound Sect truly stumbled into good fortune; we searched for so long without success, and they found it so quickly."

"There's no use talking about this now," Tong Shan said, "Let's split up and act!"

Tong Shan waved his hand, dismissing them to contact their respective allies.
