Chapter 3799: Li Family (Not Available Today)

Wang Huanyu has advanced to the True Immortal stage. Her divine abilities have greatly increased, allowing her to use spatial teleportation. The more abundant her immortal power, the farther she can teleport, making escape quite convenient.

Of course, the Soul-Falling Sea, with its natural spatial restrictions, interferes with Golden Immortal cultivators' detection. Attempting to use spatial abilities to escape in front of a Golden Immortal cultivator would be a suicidal act.

Wang Changsheng activated a magic art, causing the green flying boat to accelerate. It flew into Qinglian Island and landed on Qinglian Peak.

"Chuanming, this matter is our family's absolute secret and must not be divulged. You did very well this time, and you will be credited for your contribution. All clan members involved in this matter deserve credit. As for Yang Hai, do not contact him again. This matter ends here," Wang Changsheng instructed.

Compared to the inheritance of a Golden Immortal cultivator, the blueprints for crafting low-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons were insignificant.

Wang Chuanming had not contacted Yang Hai for years. He had been gathering information about Daoist Feiyu, mostly through Wang Manlou.

His intention was to kill Daoist Feiyu first, then exchange the Immortal Extermination Cannon blueprints with Yang Hai.

"Yes, Ancestor, there's no problem on my end. It's Wang Manlou I'm concerned about. If the Haoyue Alliance investigates, will he betray us? Should we find a way to lure him out and eliminate future troubles?" Wang Chuanming made a throat-slitting gesture.

Trust has its limits, especially with outsiders. Cui Yao was one of their own and would naturally not leak secrets, but Wang Manlou was another matter.

"If he contacts you and asks about Daoist Feiyu, just say you can't find him. In any case, don't admit anything, and don't inquire about Daoist Feiyu from him again. Instead, ask him more about Xuanling Heavenly Venerate or the situation in the Chaos Continent to downplay this matter," Wang Changsheng instructed.

Since the Seventh Month Tower has a Golden Immortal guarding it, if Wang Manlou were killed, the tower's investigation would easily trace it back to Wang Chuanming. After all, Wang Chuanming had always been in contact with Wang Manlou, and who knew how many people Wang Manlou might have mentioned Wang Chuanming and the Wang family to?

Killing Wang Manlou would be counterproductive; it was better to try and downplay the matter.

Besides, how could the Haoyue Alliance be so sure it was the Nine-Spirit Divine Monarch's reclusive cave abode? Perhaps Daoist Feiyu's judgment was mistaken!

"Yes," Wang Chuanming assented and withdrew.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan released Wang Huanyu and the others, allowing them to move freely.

He walked into a green stone pavilion, took out a green storage bracelet, and with a gentle flick of his wrist, a streak of green light swept across, leaving a large pile of items on the table.

There were four mid-grade immortal artifacts, all offensive: the Violet Moon Blade, the Seven-Star Pipa, the Seven-Radiance Pearl, and the Profound Gold Ruler.

The Seven-Star Pipa was a sound-attribute treasure, suitable for Wang Ruyan. Of course, she couldn't unleash its full power yet.

The Violet Moon Blade was a fire-attribute immortal artifact, the Profound Gold Ruler a metal-attribute one, and the Seven-Radiance Pearl was a formation artifact.

The most valuable item was a set of second-tier immortal formation, the Spirit-Devouring Grand Formation. This formation was purely defensive and could absorb the attacks of most spells and divine abilities, though it would eventually be overwhelmed if it absorbed too much.

If a Golden Immortal cultivator had used a mid-grade immortal artifact to break the formation, it wouldn't have taken as long. This was also because the formation had been operating for many years, with less than a tenth of its original power remaining; at its peak, it would not have been so easy to breach.

There were over seven hundred mid-grade immortal essence stones and over five thousand low-grade immortal essence stones.

They carefully examined the contents of the jade slips to see if there were any powerful secret arts.

There were three cultivation techniques: the "Profound Aperture Secret Scroll," the "Grand Five Elements Immortal Suppressing Tome," and the "Nine-Spirit Tome."

The "Profound Aperture Secret Scroll" was a secret method for opening apertures, with a maximum of six apertures. The "Grand Five Elements Immortal Suppressing Tome" was suitable for cultivators with five spiritual roots, consisting of thirty-three layers, with every three layers marking a major realm. The "Nine-Spirit Tome" was a beast-taming cultivation method with thirty layers, and it was the primary cultivation technique of the Nine-Spirit Divine Monarch.

There were many insights on cultivating spirit insects, which made sense.

"He's actually a descendant of the Li family? No wonder he had such an excellent cultivation technique as the 'Grand Five Elements Immortal Suppressing Tome'," Wang Changsheng exclaimed with a look of sudden realization.

Tianchenzi had unified the Tianchen Sea, but after his death in the Chaos Continent, the Tianchen Sea fell into civil strife. Various major forces attacked each other. The Li family was a prominent force with over a dozen Golden Immortal cultivators.

Several major forces ganged up against the Li family, who were unable to resist, suffering heavy casualties. Their ancestral land, Cangli Island, was also breached by enemies. At a critical moment, the Li family activated their protective formation, teleporting all cultivators away, and Cangli Island subsequently disappeared.

Many years had passed, and major forces like the Nine Immortals Sect were still searching for Cangli Island.

The Nine-Spirit Divine Monarch's ancestor was an elder responsible for transmitting cultivation methods in the Li family. Cultivating Five-Element techniques, he escaped under the cover of the clan elders, taking with him the complete "Grand Five Elements Immortal Suppressing Tome" and "Profound Aperture Secret Scroll," and fled to a distant land.

The Nine-Spirit Divine Monarch's ancestor died at the hands of enemies while contending for cultivation resources. The Nine-Spirit Divine Monarch, after finally cultivating to the Golden Immortal stage, returned to the Tianchen Sea, hoping to find Cangli Island and obtain his family's inheritance, but his wish was not fulfilled.

He traveled to the Chiyang Sea to attend a large-scale auction held by the Cao family, where he acquired the Spirit-Devouring Grand Formation. On his way back to the Tianchen Sea, he was attacked by rogue cultivators wielding Poison and Curse laws. He fought desperately to break through the encirclement, but his enemies pursued him all the way to the Tianchen Sea.

The Nine-Spirit Divine Monarch escaped into the Soul-Falling Sea to find a place to heal, but his injuries were too severe, and he perished.

"The 'Grand Five Elements Immortal Suppressing Tome'—this is much more powerful than the cultivation technique Yingjie is currently practicing," Wang Ruyan said with a smile.

According to the Nine-Spirit Divine Monarch's description, the "Grand Five Elements Immortal Suppressing Tome" was the Li family's guardian cultivation technique, most suitable for cultivators with five spiritual roots.

"In the future, when a clan member goes to the Chaos Continent, have them take the first twenty-seven layers of the cultivation technique to Yingjie. It would be great if we could find Cangli Island; the Li family's inheritance spans over ten million years," Wang Changsheng said with a look of yearning.

Cangli Island surely held many cultivation resources, likely including spiritual items that could aid True Immortal cultivators in breaking through to the Golden Immortal stage. Unfortunately, neither the Nine-Spirit Divine Monarch nor major forces like the Nine Immortals Sect had any clues to its whereabouts.

"Just leave this matter to Yier. He's in charge of treasure hunting, so it'll give him something to do," Wang Ruyan said with a smile.

Clan members had their own divisions of labor. Aside from cultivation, Wang Yier was responsible for treasure hunting; ancient cultivator cave abodes, secret realms, and ruins all fell within his scope of duties.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "The Seven-Star Pipa is suitable for you, my dear. Even if only part of its power is unleashed, True Immortal cultivators would find it hard to withstand."

"I didn't expect the Haoyue Alliance to deploy Golden Immortal cultivators. It's fortunate we had Huanyu and Mengli," Wang Ruyan said with a hint of relief.

Without Wang Huanyu and Wang Mengli this time, they would certainly have encountered the Golden Immortal cultivators, and the outcome would have been self-evident.

"And Yuqi, the trapping formation she set up also bought us some time. Thankfully, we returned safely. I wonder how Qingshan and the others are doing," Wang Changsheng mused, thinking of Wang Qingshan and the others. They had been in the Chaos Continent for over ten thousand years, but thankfully, all their vital soul lamps showed no abnormalities, so they should be fine.

"As long as there are no chaotic beast hordes attacking the cities, there shouldn't be any problems," Wang Ruyan said.

Wang Changsheng nodded. After a brief chat, he put away the items on the table and walked towards a nearby pavilion.
