Chapter 3738: Establishing the Family

Wang Changsheng brought most of the Mahayana cultivators from his clan to the Immortal Realm, leaving a small number behind to guard the Xuanyang Realm, with Wang Yidao as their strongest combatant.

"It's good that you are fine. We cannot descend to the lower realms, so you must handle any major incidents there yourselves!" Wang Changsheng instructed.

He had spoken with several True Immortal cultivators, including Zhang Zhifeng and Gao Shiyao. Even the Nine Immortals Sect could not send people down to the lower realms; it was said that a certain third-tier immortal formation needed to be set up, requiring rare materials, to enable descent. Additionally, some special high-grade immortal artifacts and third-tier immortal talismans could also achieve this. Third-tier immortal formations could only be established by Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Even if someone were sent to the lower realms, only cultivators below the True Immortal stage could go. The difficulty of descending with a soul clone was very high; a soul clone needed to reside within a special immortal artifact or be assisted by a unique high-grade immortal talisman, otherwise, the realm's power would directly destroy it.

"Understood, Old Ancestor. Are you well in the Immortal Realm?" Wang Yong'an asked with concern.

"We are currently in the Tianchen Sea Territory, where we have one thousand islands. Our clan currently has eight True Immortals. By the way, if Senior Martial Sister Chen, Fellow Daoist Gongsun, Fellow Daoist Li, Sword Sage of the Four Seasons, and Ci Lei wish to ascend, they might consider the Tianchen Sea Territory for mutual support. Send someone to inform them and disclose our situation in the Immortal Realm. Whether or not they choose to ascend to the Tianchen Sea Territory is entirely up to them," Wang Changsheng instructed.

The Meng, Zhang, Bai, Xia families, along with the Ice Yuan and Water Charm tribes, were all subordinate forces of the Nine Immortals Sect. They, in turn, also had their own subordinate forces, which included a small number of True Immortal cultivators. If Chen Yueying and others were to ascend to the Tianchen Sea Territory and cooperate with the Wang family, it would significantly benefit the Wang family's development.

"Yes, Old Ancestor, I will send someone to inform them," Wang Yong'an agreed.

"That's all for now then! Communication is inconvenient, so don't activate the grand formation unless there's an urgent matter," Wang Changsheng instructed. Wang Yong'an assented, and the illusion dispersed.

Wang Changsheng looked at Bai Yuqi and said, "From now on, assign a dedicated person to guard this grand formation. Yuqi, you and the others should go to the other islands to set up formations! Our family has just been established, so you'll have to work hard."

"It's no hardship; it's what we should do," Bai Yuqi said with a smile. Wang Changsheng waved his hand, and Bai Yuqi went off to get busy.

Chimei Island, the main headquarters of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

In a secluded manor, Qin Feng and a short, stout man in a green robe sat within a dark compound.

"A strength cultivator? Are you sure?" Qin Feng asked, frowning.

"Certain. I suspect his true spirit. His physical body withstood a low-grade immortal artifact, easily broke through Senior Martial Sister Yang's defenses, and destroyed her dharma body. Furthermore, he mastered a secret technique that counters ghostly entities; True Immortal-stage ghosts were quickly eradicated by him." The green-robed man concluded, a look of lingering fear on his face. "If I hadn't run quickly, I might have perished."

"A complete set of immortal artifacts! Withstanding low-grade immortal artifacts and easily annihilating True Immortal-stage ghosts—no wonder Junior Martial Sister Yang was no match for him," Qin Feng said with a somber expression. Losing three mid-True Immortal cultivators and still failing to recover the mid-grade immortal artifact was a huge loss.

"If this person continues to grow, he will definitely become a formidable enemy," the green-robed man said, frowning.

"As long as he is within the Nine Immortals Sect's territory, we cannot touch him. We'll put this debt on hold for now! If True Monarch Jinding hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have wanted to send Junior Martial Brother Han and the others on this mission." Qin Feng's tone was full of helplessness.

"Indeed! If we had Golden Immortal cultivators, even if we followed the orders of the Hao Yue Alliance, we wouldn't be commanded by True Immortal cultivators," the green-robed man expressed his deep agreement.

"The Cao family in the Chiyang Sea Territory is holding a large-scale auction. You, Junior Martial Brother Lin, Junior Martial Sister Sun, and Junior Martial Brother Chen should make a trip together. Hopefully, you can bid for some miraculous elixirs that can help break through to the Golden Immortal stage," Qin Feng instructed.

"The Cao family? Is that the Cao family from Qingmu Island, one of the foremost powers in the Chiyang Sea Territory?" the green-robed man asked in surprise.

"Precisely. The Chiyang Sea Territory is somewhat distant from the Tianchen Sea Territory, and a round trip is not easy. Even Golden Immortal cultivators might be ambushed and killed. Be careful on your journey," Qin Feng cautioned.

The cultivation resources in the Chiyang Sea Territory were richer than in the Tianchen Sea Territory, boasting several Grand Unity Golden Immortals. The Cao family of Qingmu Island, with a Grand Unity Golden Immortal presiding, was one of the foremost major powers in the Chiyang Sea Territory.

The green-robed man acknowledged, agreed, and then stood up and left.

Qin Feng took out a small mirror, flickering with black light, and cast a spell into it. The mirror's surface revealed the face of a young woman in a white dress.

"Junior Martial Sister Liu, is there any news of Divine Monarch Jiuling and Immortal Guangyue?" Qin Feng asked, frowning.

The Tianchen Sea Territory had ten Great Loose Immortals, all immensely powerful, with cultivation levels at least at the late True Immortal stage, and some were even Golden Immortal cultivators. Divine Monarch Jiuling and Immortal Guangyue were both Golden Immortal cultivators and among the Ten Great Loose Immortals, yet they hadn't appeared for over 200,000 years.

"Not yet, but Immortal Guangyue's Natal Immortal Artifact, the Guangyue Ruler, has appeared. She has likely perished. I've already sent more people to search for them," the young woman in the white dress reported.

"The Guangyue Ruler has appeared? Where?" Qin Feng asked, frowning.

"It was found in the Murong family's territory and obtained by Venerable Jinyan. The news leaked, and he submitted it to Cangyun Palace in exchange for territory and cultivation resources to establish his own sect," the young woman in the white dress stated truthfully.

"The Murong family!" Qin Feng was greatly disappointed. The Murong family was the most powerful force in the Tianchen Sea Territory, making it even harder to seize anything from their territory.

"Notify me immediately if there's any new information about them. I hope our Heavenly Ghost Sect can also strike it big," Qin Feng instructed.

"Understood, Senior Martial Brother Qin." The young woman in the white dress agreed, and the illusion on the mirror's surface dissipated.

Bailu Archipelago, Qinglian Island.

Numerous buildings could be seen on the island. In the southeastern corner of the island stood a towering peak, reaching into the clouds, with a towering blue pagoda several hundred zhang high situated at its summit. The plaque at the entrance bore three large golden characters: "Qinglian Pagoda."

Thousands of clan members stood in neat rows, their expressions solemn.

On the ninth floor, a spacious and brightly lit hall.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Qingshan, Wang Ruyan, and more than ten others stood before a golden altar, on which numerous spirit tablets were placed.

"Ancestors of the Wang family, we stand before you. From this day forward, we formally establish our family in the Immortal Realm. We pray for your blessings, that our Wang family may prosper smoothly." Wang Changsheng lit incense sticks, placed them in the censer, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily. Wang Ruyan and the others followed suit.

After kowtowing three times, Wang Changsheng and the others stood up.

"From now on, we must unite as one, contribute more to the family. For the family to develop and grow, it depends not on individuals, but on everyone," Wang Changsheng spoke. Wang Qingshan and the others assented, their expressions solemn.

As they exited the Qinglian Pagoda, Wang Yuyu and the other clan members spoke in unison: "Greetings, Old Ancestor."
