Chapter 3872: Heavenly Soldiers Tournament

Three hundred years had passed.

Lihuo Island, located in the White Deer Archipelago, was an island the Wang family had seized from the Changyuan Clan. The Wang family had dispatched True Immortal cultivators to guard it, and Wang Ruishuo was one of them.

In the central part of Lihuo Island stood a towering, entirely crimson peak. A red stone staircase wound from its base to the summit. Along both sides of the staircase, numerous spiritual fields could be seen, where various fire-attribute spiritual medicines grew.

"Ancestral Master, the Seven Flames Ganoderma is cultivated on the mountaintop. Please follow me."

Wang Ruishuo said respectfully, his expression tense.

Wang Changsheng nodded and followed Wang Ruishuo up the mountain.

In recent years, he had guided his descendants in artifact refining, selected promising talents for focused cultivation, and concurrently inspected the family's important strongholds.

Many fire-attribute spiritual medicines were cultivated on Lihuo Island, the most precious being the Seven Flames Ganoderma. A 500,000-year-old Seven Flames Ganoderma was required to refine the Seven Flames Pill. Few True Immortal cultivators in the Wang family had opened their fifth aperture, largely due to the scarcity of 500,000-year-old Seven Flames Ganoderma.

Since it was unavailable, they decided to cultivate it themselves. Even if the growth cycle was long, it didn't matter, as True Immortal cultivators had a lifespan of one million years and could afford the time.

Before long, they arrived at a red manor on the mountaintop, featuring pavilions, towers, a garden, and long corridors.

Approaching a spiritual field, Wang Changsheng could see hundreds of Seven Flames Ganoderma plants, protected by a red light barrier that enveloped the field.

Wang Ruishuo reported in detail the quantity and age of the Seven Flames Ganoderma. The youngest were at least 150,000 years old, while the oldest was over 300,000 years old. In another 100,000-plus years, it could be used to refine the Seven Flames Pill.

"Take good care of the Seven Flames Ganoderma," Wang Changsheng instructed. "This concerns the future of our family."

Wang Changsheng admonished them that, given the lifespan of True Immortal cultivators, all True Immortal cultivators within the clan would have a chance to open their fifth aperture. Whether they succeeded or not depended on the individual.

Qin Chi, the sect master of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, had also failed several times in opening his fifth aperture.

"Yes, Ancestral Master," Wang Ruishuo readily agreed, his expression excited.

He had never expected Wang Changsheng to personally come down for inspection.

Wang Changsheng gave a few more instructions, then teleported back to Qinglian Island.

As soon as he returned to Qinglian Peak, he saw Wang Ruyan, Chen Yueying, and Wang Qiulin sitting in a green stone pavilion, talking about something.

Chen Yueying was beaming and seemed very happy.

"Senior Sister Chen, is there something to celebrate?" Wang Changsheng asked with a smile.

Wang Mengbin, Wang Yingjie, and six others had gone to the Chaos Continent with the mission to defend Haoyang City. Wang Changxian and three others remained in the Tianchen Sea Region for the time being, often challenging the Lihuo Illusionary Demon Pagoda in their Chaos Armor to hone their cooperation.

Chen Yueying had not yet gone to the Chaos Continent, as she was searching for the opportunity Wang Qiulin had mentioned.

"I've found the opportunity Fellow Daoist Wang spoke of," Chen Yueying said, "and I came here specifically to thank him."

Chen Yueying was beaming.

There were many places with "Chiyang" in their names, and she traveled to many of them, finally obtaining the opportunity in the Chiyang Sea Region.

She went to the Chiyang Sea Region to try her luck. While purchasing cultivation resources at Chiyang Market, she bought a piece of Nine Glazed Divine Crystal from a Mahayana cultivator who had mistaken it for another material. The Nine Glazed Divine Crystal was a core material for refining fire-attribute mid-grade Immortal Extinguishing Cannons, valued at tens of thousands of spirit stones.

For an ordinary True Immortal cultivator, tens of thousands of spirit stones was an astronomical sum. It was worth noting that even major forces like the Changyuan Clan, Heavenly Beast Sect, and Heavenly Ghost Sect only had hundreds of thousands of immortal essence stones in their reserves.

Chen Yueying did not sell the Nine Glazed Divine Crystal there. Instead, she returned to the Tianchen Sea Region, came to the Wang family, and sold the Nine Glazed Divine Crystal to them.

Wang Ruyan initially wanted to buy it at a price 30% higher than the market rate, but Chen Yueying refused, insisting on selling it to the Wang family at market price. She wasn't looking for a one-time transaction.

If Wang Qiulin hadn't helped her with divination, she wouldn't have spent hundreds of years traveling around. She would have either cultivated in seclusion or gone to the Chaos Continent; it would have been impossible for her to travel all the way to the Chiyang Sea Region, let alone visit Chiyang Market.

"Senior Sister Chen is quite lucky!" Wang Changsheng said with a smile. "To actually stumble upon a piece of Nine Glazed Divine Crystal."

"It's all thanks to Junior Brother Wang's grandson," Chen Yueying said, her face full of envy, "otherwise, I wouldn't have obtained this opportunity."

A small opportunity brought tens of thousands of spirit stones; what if it were a major one? She truly wanted to ask Wang Qiulin for divination again, but she knew clearly that such matters couldn't be rushed. Haste makes waste. By maintaining good relations with the Wang family, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After this incident, she secretly resolved to closely follow the Wang family's lead, hoping to earn merit so that Wang Qiulin would divine opportunities for her again.

"This was your opportunity," Wang Qiulin said humbly. "It was destined to be so; I cannot conjure it out of thin air."

A cultivator has different opportunities at different times, and auspiciousness or ill fortune also vary. He merely made things clear to facilitate Chen Yueying's search.

If he hadn't made it clear, Chen Yueying might not have obtained this opportunity. "In any case, I still thank you greatly," Chen Yueying said gratefully. "I will keep an eye out for the materials you need to collect."

After chatting for the duration of a cup of tea, Chen Yueying bid farewell and departed.

"Qiulin, well done!" Wang Changsheng praised. "Your divination is so accurate."

"Divining opportunities is merely one method for a diviner," Wang Qiulin said proudly. "Divining auspiciousness or ill fortune, or locating people and objects, is also possible."

If the person being divined for had a major opportunity, the Wang family could also benefit and profit from it.

Wang Ruyan said with a smile, "We would like to find Heavenly Venerable Xuanling, but his cultivation is too high, and we don't have his birth characters or vital blood. Otherwise, we would have asked you to help divine his whereabouts."

Wang Changsheng nodded. Just as he was about to say something, Wang Yongqian walked in, took out a lacquered gold invitation, and handed it to Wang Changsheng, saying, "Ancestral Master, Hundred Refinements Island is hosting a Heavenly Weapons Conference, inviting many Immortal Artifact Refiners to participate. They've also sent us an invitation."

As a True Spirit and an Immortal Artifact Refiner, Wang Changsheng was naturally among those invited.

This was not the first time Hundred Refinements Island had hosted a Heavenly Weapons Conference. Each time it was held, many Immortal Artifact Refiners would be invited to participate, exchanging insights on artifact refining and trading cultivation resources.

Wang Changsheng accepted the invitation and said, "Select a group of Immortal Artifact Refiners from the clan to accompany me to the Heavenly Weapons Conference. Such opportunities are rare."

It was a rare chance to exchange artifact refining techniques with other Immortal Artifact Refiners, so Wang Changsheng naturally wouldn't miss it. What he cared about more was exchanging materials and simultaneously expanding his social circle, achieving multiple benefits.

"Yes, Ancestral Master," Wang Yongqian agreed, accepted the order, and withdrew.

"I've heard of the Heavenly Weapons Conference too," Wang Ruyan said with a smile. "I'll go as well! It would be good to exchange insights on cultivation with other fellow Daoists."

Qinglian Island had several low-grade Immortal Extinguishing Cannons and many experts, so their departure from Qinglian Island would be fine.

Two days later, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, accompanied by a group of clansmen, departed from Qinglian Island. Wang Tunian, Wang Mengli, and others accompanied them, while Wang Lin remained on Qinglian Island.

As a True Spirit Black Tortoise who had opened four apertures, he possessed great power. With him on Qinglian Island, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan could travel with peace of mind.
