The Changyuan Realm, specifically the Luanyuan Dongtian, was a perilous area.
A golden light shot out from Luanyuan Dongtian at high speed. Soon after, the golden light stopped, revealing a shimmering golden flying boat. Two men and one woman stood on it, led by a robust young man in a golden robe.
The young man in the golden robe was nine feet tall, broad-shouldered and strong, with well-developed muscles throughout his body. His arms were full of explosive power, and his eyes were bright and piercing. He was Qin Feng, at the late Mahayana stage, with two apertures opened and his spiritual domain cultivated to Great Perfection.
"The Lower Realm is just the Lower Realm; the spiritual energy is too thin," complained a remarkably beautiful young woman in a white dress. This was Chen Xue, at the late Mahayana stage, with three apertures opened.
"To think we were teleported to a dangerous area. Fortunately, our strength is exceptional, otherwise, if we died in the Lower Realm, Senior Brother Zhao and the others would laugh us to scorn," sighed a corpulent old man in a yellow robe. This was Lu Shan, at the late Mahayana stage, with two apertures opened.
They were all outer disciples of the Myriad Treasure Sect, dispatched to the Lower Realm to search for the Qiankun Bottle.
"Alright, let's first rendezvous with our affiliated forces in the Lower Realm, ascertain the whereabouts of the Qiankun Bottle, acquire it as soon as possible, and return to the Immortal Realm." After Qin Feng finished speaking, he conjured a spell. The golden flying boat glowed brightly, ascended into the sky, and quickly vanished from sight.
***
Xuanyang Realm, Xuanling Continent.
In a certain azure sea, a blue light appeared on the distant horizon. Soon after, the blue light slowed down, revealing a colossal azure ship several hundred zhang long, with a blue lotus pattern on its sail.
Wang Changsheng and the others stood on the deck, their expressions varied. Ye Xuanji and Ye Yunshuo had returned to the Northern Cold Ice Plains, Master Miaode had returned to the Heavenly Sun Sand Sea, and Wang Changsheng, Chen Yueying, Gongsun Yang, and others were now returning to the Xuanling Continent. This expedition to another realm had brought them immense wealth, but the only regret was that Wang Xiangrong had perished.
"Finally, we're back. Junior Brother Wang, I'll return to Zhenhai Palace first," Chen Yueying greeted him, then transformed into a yellow light and departed.
Wang Changsheng conjured a spell, and the Azure Lotus, greatly accelerated, flew into Azure Lotus Island and landed above Azure Lotus Peak. Wang Qingfeng and others disembarked one after another, and Wang Changsheng put away the Azure Lotus.
"Qingfeng, Xueli, take half of the eighth-tier ore veins to Canghai and organize the clan members to mine them," Wang Changsheng instructed. They had plundered twelve eighth-tier ore veins, which could be used to refine a batch of high-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures. In addition, they had acquired three cross-realm treasure ships, bringing the Wang family's total to five. They also obtained multiple Yuanji Stones, which could be used to upgrade the spiritual veins of the secondary islands.
"Understood, Father," Wang Qingfeng agreed and departed to carry out the order.
Wang Changsheng sent someone to summon Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin, took out two storage bracelets of different colors, handed them over, and said, "These contain the materials for opening the first aperture. Take them to open your apertures! Also, there are our insights from opening apertures."
"Materials for opening the first aperture!" Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin looked excited, thanked him, and accepted the storage bracelets.
"Ninth Uncle, which realms did you visit this time?" Wang Qingshan asked curiously.
Wang Changsheng did not conceal anything and recounted their experiences. Upon learning that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had jointly annihilated Tong Shan, Wang Qingshan was somewhat surprised. He knew Tong Shan's strength; in the past, multiple Mahayana cultivators, including Ye Xuanji, had to work together just to contain Tong Shan. He hadn't expected Tong Shan to fall at the hands of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.
"Opening one aperture makes one this strong; if they opened two or three, wouldn't they sweep across the Eastern Xuan Continent Realm Cluster?" Wang Mengbin exclaimed.
Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Theoretically, that's true, but reality isn't always so. There are always stronger individuals, and a mountain is always higher than the one before it. The cultivation world is vast, filled with experts. They had only become famous in a dozen or so realms; encountering an expert with two apertures might mean they are not opponents."
"With one aperture opened, your strength will also increase significantly," Wang Ruyan said with a smile. Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin were both at the early Mahayana stage; with one aperture opened, ordinary mid-Mahayana cultivators would no longer be their match.
Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin nodded, humbly asking how to open apertures and what precautions to take. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan naturally did not conceal anything, explaining patiently, hoping to help them.
After more than half a day, Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin took their leave to go open their apertures.
Wang Changsheng summoned Wang Yongqian and handed over the Silver Moon Ruler, Azure Lattice Guillotine, and Seven-Star Demon-Subduing Pagoda to her to be stored in the family treasury as clan-treasured artifacts. The Soul Annihilation Plate and Vermillion Bird Ring were immensely powerful and temporarily remained in their keeping.
Besides the five Profound Heaven Treasures, they also acquired multiple damaged Profound Heaven Treasures. The Spirit-Subduing Map was the most precious, capable of confiscating enemy treasures, including other Profound Heaven Treasures. Next in value was the Profound Sound Pendant. With Wang Changsheng wearing the Profound Sound Pendant, Wang Ruyan could confidently wield her sound-based treasures. When Heavenly Flame Divine Lord wore this treasure, even Golden Pipa Immortaless's activation of the Wonderful Sound Flute could hardly harm him.
"Three Profound Heaven Treasures!" Wang Yongqian gasped, greatly excited.
"These were seized from our enemies. Later, I will personally refine a Profound Heaven Treasure," Wang Changsheng said deeply. He had obtained many artifact refining materials, including those for refining Profound Heaven Treasures. He would begin refining a Profound Heaven Treasure after he opened his second aperture.
Besides refining Profound Heaven Treasures, Wang Changsheng had many other tasks: refining eighth-tier puppet beasts, ripening the Myriad Spirit Dao Fruit, and refining cross-realm treasure ships. The spiritual domain, cultivated to Great Perfection, significantly enhanced power. Fairy Furong, trapped by Heavenly Flame Divine Lord's spiritual domain, was quickly annihilated without any power to resist. He had obtained over 200,000-year-old Seven-Star Divine Wood from the Heavenly Yan Clan, which could be used to refine cross-realm treasure ships.
"You should put these items into the family treasury to cultivate clan members. Hopefully, we can train several more Mahayana cultivators," Wang Ruyan took out a blue storage ring and handed it to Wang Yongqian. Great clans possessed profound foundations. They had acquired over ten disposable treasures that weakened the power of Outer Realm Fiends, which could be given to clan members attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage. As for whether they could successfully advance, that depended on themselves. Even great clans could not guarantee that all their members would enter the Mahayana stage.
Wang Yongqian took the storage ring and said with a smile, "In less than ten thousand years, our clan will have many more Mahayana cultivators."
Wang Changsheng nodded, gave a few instructions, and dismissed Wang Yongqian.
"Husband, you can focus on opening your second aperture! Leave the clan matters to Yongqian and the others," Wang Ruyan said. They had acquired many talisman-making materials, and she planned to refine eighth-tier talismans for the younger generation to protect themselves. After Wang Huanyu advanced to the Mahayana stage, Wang Ruyan's strength significantly improved. Wang Changsheng nodded and entered a secret chamber.
He sat cross-legged on an azure futon and took out the aperture-opening materials. A dazzling blue light shone from his dantian, and a miniature nascent soul flew out of his body. It was clearly visible that the miniature nascent soul had a flickering blue halo around it. With the experience of opening the first aperture, opening the second one would be easier.
Wang Changsheng conjured a spell, and the miniature nascent soul's right hand grabbed into the void. The Sky Moon Flowing Light Stone flew towards it and landed in its hand.
