Wang Ruyan's eyebrows furrowed. "Even so, our family has been established for over forty thousand years. How could we have so many Mid-True Immortals? Sending Early-True Immortals would be suicide, wouldn't it?"
It seemed the Nine Immortals Sect had encountered significant setbacks on the Chaotic Continent. The Wang family was to be conscripted for ten True Immortal cultivators, not to mention affiliated forces like the Xia family and the Bai family.
"Senior Gao said that a few Mid-True Immortal cultivators leading the team would suffice," Wang Changming stated. "Affiliated families like the Xia and Meng families are being conscripted for even more True Immortal cultivators. He is informing us in advance; a formal notification will follow later." Wang Changming himself had not yet advanced to the True Immortal stage. Gao Yunhai had used a Spirit Transmission Mirror to contact Wang Moxuan, who then relayed the message back.
This was mainly because Wang Yongqian was in secluded cultivation; otherwise, Gao Yunhai could have contacted Wang Yongqian directly. The Wang and Xia families had given Gao Yunhai many benefits after conquering Skybeast Island. Gao Yunhai was giving them a heads-up, allowing them to prepare mentally and also clarifying some doubts. As for other affiliated forces, they didn't receive such preferential treatment.
"Understood," Wang Ruyan instructed. "Don't notify Senior Sister Chen and the others yet. We'll contact them once we receive the formal notification." She gave her instructions, knowing that appearances still had to be maintained. If the Wang family contacted forces like Zhenhai Palace before receiving the formal notification, and it got out, even a fool would know the Wang family had received advance notice. Some matters couldn't be openly discussed.
"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Changming replied, agreeing to her request.
Putting away the communication disk, Wang Ruyan's face showed contemplation. It seemed they would have to make a trip to the Chaotic Continent themselves; their clansmen's strength was too weak. Wang Ruyan thought for a moment and sent a sound transmission talisman to Wang Changsheng.
Not long after, Wang Changsheng emerged from his cultivation chamber, his brows tightly furrowed. The Glazed Ice Flame had successfully advanced to a Celestial Flame after consuming Immortal Flames in multiple stages, significantly increasing Wang Changsheng's artifact refining efficiency. He had helped Shi Xiang refine a complete set of Celestial artifacts and sent them to her, successfully obtaining Primordial Adamant Crystals, which allowed Ye Haitang and Bai Yuqi to construct the Flight Platform. After completing this, Wang Changsheng had entered secluded cultivation, not expecting such a matter to arise.
"Conscription! It seems we'll have to go in person," Wang Changsheng said, frowning. He looked outside and said, "Qingshan, Yingjie, come in!"
As soon as he spoke, Wang Qingshan and Wang Yingjie descended from the sky, landing before Wang Changsheng.
"Qingshan has advanced to Mid-True Immortal. Excellent," Wang Ruyan remarked, sensing the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Wang Qingshan, her face showing approval. Wang Yingjie was still an Early-True Immortal. He had heard about the Nine Immortals Sect's conscription and had immediately rushed back. As soon as they approached Qinglian Peak, Wang Changsheng detected them.
"Ninth Uncle," Wang Qingshan asked, "I heard from Moxuan that the Nine Immortals Sect is going to conscript ten True Immortal cultivators from our Wang family to go to the Chaotic Continent?" He had contacted Wang Moxuan to inquire about resource collection, and Wang Moxuan had mentioned this matter to him.
Wang Changsheng nodded. "Yes, we'll go ourselves. The White Deer Islands will be entrusted to you."
"Ninth Uncle, let me lead the team!" Wang Qingshan volunteered. "You and Ninth Aunt should stay on Qinglian Island. It's time for us to contribute to the family. Ling'er and I will lead."
"Ancestor, Hongxue and I will go on behalf of the family!" Wang Yingjie volunteered.
Wang Ruyan looked outside and said, "Mengbin, Haitang, Qingfeng, why are you back? Come in and talk!" As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Mengbin, Ye Haitang, and Wang Qingfeng descended from the sky, landing in the courtyard. Wang Mengbin was already a Mid-True Immortal, while Wang Qingfeng and Ye Haitang were still Early-True Immortals.
"Father, Mother, I heard the Nine Immortals Sect is conscripting ten True Immortal cultivators. Xue Li and I will lead the team on this trip!" Wang Qingfeng requested to join the fight.
"Ancestor, please let Yuqi and me go! I am already a Mid-True Immortal," Wang Mengbin said.
"Uncle, Aunt, I'm an array master and can help set up formations. Please let me go!" Ye Haitang requested to join the fight.
Upon learning of the Nine Immortals Sect's conscription, they all rushed back and volunteered to go. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan showed expressions of satisfaction; it was a good thing that all their clansmen wanted to go.
"Ninth Uncle, let us go! You and Ninth Aunt have toiled for many years; it's our turn to contribute," Wang Qingshan said sincerely. Wang Mengbin and the others all requested to join, eager to participate.
"Here's the plan," Wang Changsheng said. "Qingshan, Qingfeng, Yingjie, and Haitang will lead. For the remaining six, we'll have forces like Zhenhai Palace send people." Wang Qingfeng could help clansmen refine or repair Celestial artifacts, and Ye Haitang could help set up formations. They were both skilled individuals who could play a significant role. If the True Immortal cultivators sent were too weak, it would be no different from sending them to their deaths.
"Just Ancestor Qingshan, a Mid-True Immortal, won't be enough. Ancestor, let Ancestor Qingfeng stay, and I'll go instead! That would reduce some pressure on Ancestor Qingshan," Wang Mengbin said.
"My strength isn't weak, and I can also help refine Celestial artifacts. How about five of us go, and the remaining five are drawn from forces like Zhenhai Palace?" Wang Qingfeng suggested.
Wang Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Qingshan, Mengbin, Haitang, and Yingjie will go! It's possible the Nine Immortals Sect will conscript more later, so you'll go ahead as an advance party. Qingshan will lead the team, and everyone else must obey Qingshan's orders." Indeed, sending only one Mid-True Immortal cultivator wouldn't work; it was better to be cautious.
Wang Qingshan and the others agreed, while Wang Qingfeng's face was full of disappointment; he still wanted to go.
"Qingfeng, you and Xue Li will take Qingshan's place and guard Skybeast Island," Wang Ruyan said. Skybeast Island's location was crucial. After Wang Qingshan left, a powerful True Immortal cultivator needed to be stationed there.
"Yes, Mother," Wang Qingfeng replied, agreeing.
Wang Qingshan took out a blue communication disk, cast a spell into it, and said, "Ninth Uncle, the Nine Immortals Sect's messenger arrow has arrived."
Outside Qinglian Island, a golden, shimmering arrow floated high in the sky. Its arrowhead was a miniature dragon head, and the entire flying sword resembled a miniature golden flood dragon. Wang Changsheng and the others flew out. Wang Changsheng cast a spell, and the golden arrow immediately flared brightly, transforming into a massive golden flood dragon that spoke in human tongue: "Qinglian Wang Family, heed this order: Within half a month of receiving this messenger arrow, send ten True Immortal cultivators to Nine Immortals Island. There must be no delay."
"Understood. We will certainly send ten True Immortal cultivators to Nine Immortals Island," Wang Changsheng said. The golden flood dragon wagged its head and tail, flying back the way it came, disappearing into the horizon.
"Immediately contact Fellow Daoist Ni and the others, and have them send people to accompany us to Nine Immortals Island," Wang Changsheng instructed. Wang Qingfeng agreed, took out his Spirit Transmission Mirror, and contacted them.
Early the next morning, Chen Yueying, Ni Tianlong, Lan Fukong, Four Seasons Sword Sovereign, Li Tianhe, and Ci Lei arrived at Qinglian Island. They were all Early-True Immortals. Wang Qingshan briefly explained the situation, then conjured a shimmering blue flying boat, carrying them away from Qinglian Island and heading towards Nine Immortals Island.
Almost simultaneously, forces like the Xia family, Bai family, and Water Fey Tribe also dispatched True Immortal cultivators to Nine Immortals Island.
