Chapter 3742: Nine Palaces Body Wang Qiulin

"By the way, Haitang," Wang Qingcheng instructed, "have Yidao and the others keep an eye out for news about Immortal Realm fragments. If they can enter these fragments to search for treasures, they should look for the materials we need to collect, such as Nine-Yang Wood and Exquisite Stone."

"Understood, Cousin Qingcheng," Ye Haitang replied, then ended the communication.

Wang Qingcheng put away his magic plate and said with a smile, "It's good that several factions have pledged allegiance, but it's troublesome to help them while also guarding against them. Fortunately, factions like Zhenhai Palace, Myriad Spirit Sect, the Li Family, the Ni Family, and Taiyi Palace have good relations with our Wang family and are relatively more trustworthy." With the assistance of these forces, including the Lan Family and the Spirit Clan, the pressure on the Wang family would be significantly reduced.

"Oh, right, where's Qingjing?" Wang Changsheng asked about Wang Qingjing.

"He went to attend a large-scale auction held by the Nine Immortals Sect to collect materials," Wang Qingcheng replied truthfully. "The family is also gathering related materials, hoping to revive Qingling as soon as possible."

Wang Qingling had naturally passed away, and her physical body remained perfectly preserved. Several True Immortal cultivators could cast spells to revive her, but array formations and elixirs were also needed as aid. What the Wang family needed now were materials, which were not rare and could be found with a little more time. Considering the time, the Wang family had been established in the Immortal Realm for over ten thousand years, and their clan members had been continuously searching for the relevant materials to revive Wang Qingling. They had almost finished collecting them.

"Qingcheng, take the Bright Moon Immortal Fruit to Hongxue and have her refine the Bright Moon Elixir. I hope it succeeds this time," Wang Changsheng instructed. "If I open my fourth aperture, it will be easier to cast the revival spell for Qingling. Qingfeng, you may go attend to your duties!"

"Understood, Father," Wang Qingcheng replied, accepting the order and departing. Wang Qingfeng also returned to his cultivation.

Returning to Green Lotus Peak, Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber. The Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation came into view. There were several meditation cushions on the floor, and Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on one of them. He took out the red storage bracelet given to him by Fairy Black Phoenix. With a gentle flick of his wrist, a red glow swept across, and a large pile of items appeared on the ground. Among them, a piece of wood glowing with red light caught his attention.

The red wood had golden, circular spots on its surface, closely resembling miniature suns. "Nine-Yang Wood!"

Wang Changsheng's eyes gleamed with fervor. He had used Exquisite Stone to refine a Calamity-Substitute Immortal Tool, which he kept nourished within his body. Currently, he was the only one in the clan who possessed such a tool; none of the other clan members did. This was primarily because the main materials required to refine them were extremely difficult to find. Even after he killed three Mid-True Immortal cultivators, none of them had Calamity-Substitute Immortal Tools, which highlighted just how rare these items were.

Each type of Calamity-Substitute Immortal Tool could only be used once. After using one, a different type of item was required for subsequent substitutions. In the Immortal Realm, there were various items for calamity substitution, such as Calamity-Substitute Immortal Tools, Talismans, Elixirs, Arrays, and Spirit Beasts. Each was precious, with the Calamity-Substitute Array being the most valuable. Calamity-Substitute Immortal Tools, Talismans, and Elixirs all needed to be carried by an immortal. A Calamity-Substitute Array was different; once set up, it could provide calamity substitution regardless of the immortal's distance from it. Calamity-Substitute Spirit Beasts were exclusive to spirit masters. They were natal spirit beasts, and only immortals who cultivated beast-taming techniques could possess them; other immortals could not. Most immortals were fortunate to even possess one Calamity-Substitute Immortal Tool or Talisman.

Wang Changsheng cast a spell into the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation, and its lid flew open. He tossed the Nine-Yang Wood into the cauldron and closed the lid. As the number of artifact refining sessions increased, Wang Changsheng could now command the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation. He could clearly feel that he was slowly gaining control over it. As for how long it would take, he was unsure; perhaps he would fully control it once he cultivated to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, or even to the Dao Ancestor realm.

Wang Changsheng opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of snow-blue flame, which landed at the bottom of the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation.

Dongxuan Continent Cluster, Xuanyang Realm. Xuanling Continent, Purple Crystal Island.

Wang Yong'an, Wang Qingbai, Xiahou Yao, and a tall young man in a blue shirt stood at the peak of a high mountain. The blue-shirted young man had broad shoulders and a thick waist, his body exuding power. This was Wang Qiulin, the eldest son of Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao. He possessed the Physique of the Nine Palaces, making him a born diviner, and he was also a body cultivator.

Body cultivation and divination were not contradictory. Wang Changsheng had assisted Cao Yuzhen in eliminating the Sky-Sound Tribe's Grand Ascension cultivators, including Yu Lingzi. Yu Lingzi was a diviner with a divination inheritance. Wang Qiulin, who studied divination, found it to be exceptionally effective.

Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao had already advanced to the Grand Ascension stage. Wang Qiulin had also entered the Grand Ascension stage, at over ten thousand years old. Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao had each opened two apertures. Wang Yidao, however, was still at the Mid-Grand Ascension stage and was not on Xuanling Continent.

The cultivation resources in the lower realms couldn't compare to those in the Immortal Realm; if he were in the Immortal Realm, Wang Yidao would have long since advanced to the Late Grand Ascension stage. Divine Monarch Tianyou had visited, requesting Wang Qiulin's assistance with divination. Wang Qiulin divined that this individual had a great fortuitous encounter awaiting him on Qianyuan Continent. Wang Yidao, Wang Xiuling, and Wang Xiulong had accompanied Divine Monarch Tianyou to Qianyuan Continent, hoping to benefit from his good fortune. This was the advantage of having a diviner. The Wang family had always had diviners, but their cultivation levels weren't high. Now, with Wang Qiulin, they could help guest elders with divination and benefit from others' opportunities.

They gazed solemnly at a mass of silver-white thunderclouds high in the sky. Chen Yueying was undergoing the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation. With a remnant Xuan-Heaven treasure, a Thunder-Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit, and an eighth-tier array formation set up by Wang Yong'an, she should have no problems.

Thunder rumbled continuously, and thick, silver-white bolts of lightning struck down, landing on a shield shimmering with yellow light. Chen Yueying's face was slightly pale, and her body was enveloped in an earthen-yellow spiritual light.

With another clap of thunder, the silver-white thunderclouds violently churned, transforming into a massive silver-white Qilin that plunged from the sky. The ground shook violently. A large expanse of yellow-glowing sand particles flew out from within the silver-white lightning, forming an enormous yellow sand spear that pierced through the Qilin's body.

A massive silver-white sun rose into the sky, shaking the earth and mountains. Ripples spread across the void, and a nine-colored cloud ladder appeared, covered in mysterious runes. "The Ascension Ladder!"

Wang Yong'an let out a long sigh of relief, his face filled with envy. The lightning dissipated, revealing Chen Yueying's figure, her expression excited. "Fellow Daoist Wang, I'll go ahead," Chen Yueying said as she walked towards the Ascension Ladder. "I hope we meet again in the Immortal Realm."

Cheng Zhenyu and tens of thousands of other cultivators had all entered the Nine-Origin Pagoda. Lan Fukong, Li Qinghuan, Cilei, Gongsun Yang, Sword Venerable of Four Seasons, Li Tianhe, Zhao Yunlei, and Ni Tianlong were all inside. However, Grandmaster Miaode did not join them, having other plans.

When she reached the end of the Ascension Ladder, a powerful suction force pulled her into the void, and she disappeared. "Let's go! Let's head back! I hope Yidao will have great gains," Wang Qingbai said. The four of them then left Purple Crystal Island and returned to Green Lotus Island.
