Chapter 3705: Blue Phoenix Body

"Uniting all forces of this realm to find a way out?"

Wang Changsheng was slightly startled, which reminded him of the Tianlan Sect in the Tianlan Realm. The Tianlan Sect had unified the Tianlan Realm, and all its forces had collaborated to invade other realms, seeking a way out.

"Yes, her name is Xiahou Yao. She comes from the Xuanling Sect in the Tianluo Realm. That realm is remote, and its spiritual energy is sparse. Even cultivators who reach the Mid-Integration stage cannot ascend, and all attempts to secretly cross have failed. She united with other forces to find a way out, and after much difficulty, they found a reliable spatial node to reach the Ziqing Realm, which is controlled by our family." Wang Yongqian reported.

"Call her over; let us meet her." Wang Changsheng instructed. Wang Qingbai was also a spiritual body cultivator, and it would be ideal if he could form a dual cultivation partnership with Xiahou Yao.

Wang Yongqian acknowledged and left to carry out the order.

Soon after, Wang Yongqian returned, followed by a slender maiden in a green dress. The maiden had bright, large eyes and dark, arched eyebrows. A large bow made of golden silk "soft smoke" was tied at her waist, and a verdant phoenix hairpin was slanted in her hair. A rare touch of heroism shone in her brow.

"Junior Xiahou Yao greets Senior Wang and Senior Wang." The maiden curtsied and spoke. Her demeanor was natural and graceful, without the slightest hint of nervousness.

"I will examine your aptitude. If it is as you say, our Wang family will cultivate you well." Wang Changsheng took out a small mirror shimmering with blue light. He infused it with spiritual power, and after its surface glowed with dazzling blue light, it emitted a stream of blue mist that enveloped Xiahou Yao.

Soon, the small blue mirror emitted a sharp, piercing sound. At the same time, a brilliant green light radiated from Xiahou Yao's body, accompanied by a clear, loud bird call. A strong wind suddenly arose, vegetation swayed, and dirt and stones flew about.

"Excellent, it is indeed the Azure Serpent Body!" Wang Changsheng's face showed delight. Possessors of the Azure Serpent Body are proficient in wind-element divine abilities and are considered relatively powerful spiritual bodies.

"From now on, you will reside on Qinglian Peak! We will provide you with cultivation techniques and can guide your practice." Wang Ruyan said, her face wreathed in smiles. She already regarded Xiahou Yao as a future daughter-in-law and hoped to facilitate this marriage. It was rare in the Dongxuan Continent Realm Cluster for both husband and wife to possess spiritual bodies.

"Yes, thank you, Senior Wang." Xiahou Yao expressed her thanks, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Yongqian, take her to complete the formalities." Wang Changsheng instructed, and Wang Yongqian led Xiahou Yao away.

"Qingbai now has a dual cultivation partner; our family has an heir." Wang Ruyan said with a smile. Wang Changsheng nodded, chatted for a while, then rose and walked towards a nearby blue pavilion.

He entered a secret chamber where the Ten Thousand Spirit Map hung on the wall. A dazzling blue light radiated from his body as he stepped into the map. He entered the Azure Sea Palace and arrived at a stone chamber. Inside the chamber was a pool covered with azure jade divine milk, and a black spirit beast egg floated in the water. This spirit beast egg was something he had obtained from a fragment of the Immortal Realm. While the immortal fish eggs had already hatched, this spirit beast egg had not yet. Wang Changsheng had consulted the clan's beast tamers, but none of them knew what kind of spirit beast it was; they said it would only be known after hatching, as its appearance alone was not enough to identify it. Wang Changsheng placed his palm on the spirit beast egg and could feel a faint life fluctuation, though he was unsure if it could still hatch. He exited the stone chamber, checked the growth of the immortal herbs and fruits, confirmed everything was proceeding smoothly, then exited the Ten Thousand Spirit Map. He went to another secret chamber, sat cross-legged on a futon, and began cultivating.

With the family flourishing and experts abundant, Wang Changsheng could cultivate in peace.

Time flew by; a millennium passed.

In the Heavenly Star Realm, above a vast blue sea, a golden, shimmering dragon boat rapidly glided across the sky. Cao Yuzhen and over twenty Mahayana cultivators stood on the golden dragon boat, their brows furrowed. Jiu Wuying and his group had been constantly fleeing and changing directions, making it particularly troublesome for Cao Yuzhen and the others to track them. Ye Xuanji held a white, shimmering magical disk, which bore an exotic beast pattern on its surface. The white disk emitted a loud beast roar and trembled slightly.

"Found them! They are not far from here." Ye Xuanji said excitedly. This Demon-Locating Disk had been refined with some essence blood from the true spirit Seven-Headed Owl, allowing it to sense the owl's location within a certain range. Combined with the approximate position deduced by Cao Yufeng, they could now find the Seven-Headed Owl's whereabouts.

Cao Yuzhen changed her incantation, and the golden dragon boat instantly burst with dazzling golden light, its speed greatly increasing. In less than ten breaths, the golden dragon boat came to a halt. Ahead was an island ten thousand li in circumference, densely covered with vegetation, and a thick black mist drifted around it.

"This is Immortalfall Island! The most dangerous place in the Heavenly Star Realm. Why do they always hide in dangerous places?" Cao Yufeng said with a frown.

"Probably to make escape easier! Last time they got away, but this time we absolutely cannot let them escape again. We've obtained two Seven-Star Spellbreaking Talismans, which counteract spatial divine abilities, so Die Wei won't be able to use spatial abilities to take them away anymore." Nangong Yulong said with a confident expression.

"Let's deal with them quickly! No need to prolong this." Wu Shan urged.

Cao Yuzhen changed her incantation, and the golden dragon boat flew towards Immortalfall Island, though not at high speed. Soon after, the golden dragon boat appeared above Immortalfall Island, with a continuous stretch of lush green mountains below.

"There's a high-grade warning formation!" A graceful young woman in a white dress frowned and spoke, holding a white, shimmering magical disk that emitted a sharp sound. She was Guanghan Immortaless, Nangong Yulong's dual cultivation partner.

"It's just a warning formation; we'll break through it." Cao Yuzhen raised her right hand, and a golden, shimmering orb flew out. She cast an incantation into it, and the golden orb burst with dazzling golden light. The light struck the void, causing ripples and revealing a massive opening, through which the golden dragon boat flew.

After traveling tens of thousands of li, the golden dragon boat stopped. Cao Yuzhen's brows were tightly furrowed; for some reason, she felt a sense of unease.

"Something's wrong; it seems like an ambush!" Cao Yuzhen said with a frown. Hao Shan seemed to sense something and slapped his right hand towards the void. A spiritual, shimmering, sky-reaching giant hand flashed out and struck a certain spot in the void. The void twisted, deformed, and tore open. Immediately after, a large number of silvery-white runes appeared in the void, and a colossal white light screen materialized out of thin air, trapping them within. A vast expanse of white mist surged from the ground.

The white mist sea violently churned, and huge white mist dragons flew out, lunging towards them. Some profound black runes appeared on the surface of the white light screen, and a Taiji pattern emerged.

"The Two-Polar Immortal Slaying Formation! This is bad; this formation is from the Immortal Realm. We've been ambushed!" Cao Yuzhen was greatly alarmed. If it had been an ordinary formation, they would have discovered it long ago. Formations passed down from the Immortal Realm were much more powerful, which was why they hadn't detected it.

Outside the white light screen, Jiu Wuying and four others appeared. Xiao Ying had already opened her second aperture, and Jiu Wuying had also successfully opened his second aperture.

"Activate the formation and eliminate them." Jiu Wuying said in a deep voice, casting an incantation into the formation disk. Wu Feng and the other four followed suit.
