Chapter 3886: Returning to Qinglian Island

In the very center of the main hall stood an enormous human-shaped statue, seemingly that of the Li family's old ancestor.

Beyond the statue, there was nothing else, nor were there any visible passages.

"There's a spatial restriction behind the statue; we'll need to move it," Wang Huanyu said. She could clearly sense faint spatial fluctuations behind the statue. Had the restriction's power not been so diminished, she wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

Wang Changsheng walked to the side of the statue and pushed it with effort. The statue slowly moved, revealing a smooth stone wall.

Wang Huanyu opened her mouth and spat out a cluster of silver light, which struck the stone wall. The wall immediately shimmered with countless profound runes, rippling before them, and a blue stone door materialized.

Wang Changsheng pushed open the stone door, revealing a stone chamber several hundred zhang wide. In the bottom-left corner was a silver formation, and most of the immortal essence stones placed in its grooves had been depleted of their immortal energy.

At the center of the formation was a silver bowl-shaped object. A large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth flew towards it, completely absorbed.

The words "Spirit Gathering" were carved on the surface of the bowl. This was a mid-grade auxiliary immortal artifact.

Wang Changsheng collected the immortal essence stones from the formation and replaced them with mid-grade ones.

He took out a golden circular token with the character "Li" inscribed on its front. This token, found in Bai Yunshuo's storage bracelet, could control this formation.

"Infuse it; someone's coming," Wang Tun Tian spoke, his eyes flashing yellow.

Wang Changsheng quickly infused immortal essence into the circular token. The token immediately shone with dazzling golden light, and the character "Li" seemed to come alive, twisting and deforming before emitting a golden beam that merged into the formation.

The formation vibrated violently, and a blinding silver light erupted.

Not only did he intend to use the control hub to teleport them away, but he also wanted to conceal Cangli Island.

Outside Cangli Hall, Xu Lei and his companions flew from a distance. As soon as they appeared above Cangli Hall, a powerful spatial force emanated from behind them. Their bodies uncontrollably flew backward, disappearing into the void.

At the same time, outside Cangli Island, Yan Shuheng and others looked up at the golden light gate high in the sky.

The spiritual light of the golden gate dimmed, gradually fading into the void and disappearing from its original spot.

"What's going on? Is it closed? Or has something happened?" Yan Shuheng asked, puzzled.

The cultivators exchanged glances; they too were unsure what had occurred.

Yan Shuheng took out a shimmering spirit communication mirror, cast a spell, and Xu Lei's face appeared on its surface.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, where are you? Why did you suddenly disappear?" Yan Shuheng asked, puzzled.

"Disappeared? Someone found the control hub and used the formation to teleport us out. We are currently in the Golden Crane Islands," Xu Lei replied.

"The Golden Crane Islands! Teleported so far? Where is that place?" Yan Shuheng exclaimed in surprise. The Golden Crane Islands were more than a hundred trillion li in a straight line from the Black Swallow Islands.

"Cangli Island, the ancestral land of the Li family. Send people to blockade that area. I've already notified the deputy alliance leader, and the main force is on its way," Xu Lei's voice was heavy, his expression agitated.

He was currently unsure if Cangli Island was still within the Black Swallow Islands. After being teleported out, he immediately used the spirit communication mirror to report to the Golden Immortal cultivators. The high-ranking members of the Radiant Moon Alliance, upon learning that Cangli Island was in the Black Swallow Islands, had personally dispatched Golden Immortal cultivators to rush there.

"Understood. I hope it's still here! By the way, what's the background of the cultivator who found the control hub?" Yan Shuheng asked curiously.

"I don't know. We were just teleported out as soon as we arrived at Cangli Hall. Due to the restrictions, we didn't see their faces. They must be True Immortal cultivators; if they were Golden Immortals, they would have simply killed us," Xu Lei analyzed.

Yan Shuheng suddenly realized, chatted for a few moments, then put away his spirit communication mirror.

"Send people to search for Bai Yunshuo and Jin Ying. You must find them," Yan Shuheng instructed his clansmen.

He had always been paying attention to Bai Yunshuo's movements. Just before Cangli Island appeared, Bai Yunshuo happened to leave the market, and Jin Ying, who introduced Bai Yunshuo, also left the market.

Once they were found, it would be clear whether Cangli Island had any connection to Bai Yunshuo and Jin Ying.

"Yes, Ancestor Shuheng," the Yan family cultivators agreed.

A hundred trillion li away, a desolate island, a hundred li in circumference, emitted a blue light, revealing a shimmering blue flying boat with Wang Changsheng and his companions standing on it.

Wang Changsheng's divine sense spread wide; finding no other cultivators, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He activated the formation, randomly teleporting Cangli Island away. He didn't know its new location, but fortunately, he had the key and could find Cangli Island again.

There were still many cultivation resources on Cangli Island, but he didn't have much time to search, so he had to leave first.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the Jadeite Boat glowed with dazzling blue light, flying into the sea and departing using a water evasion technique.

Less than half a month later, Wang Changsheng and his group returned to Green Lotus Island.

Upon returning to Green Lotus Peak, they summoned Wang Yongqian to inquire if any major events had occurred in the cultivation world.

"It's rumored that Cangli Island appeared in the Black Swallow Islands. The Radiant Moon Alliance's deputy leader personally led a team to the Black Swallow Islands, but they didn't find it. It seems Cangli Island was teleported away," Wang Yongqian said.

This information was purchased by the Dark Hall from intelligence dealers, and multiple dealers confirmed the news.

"Regarding the attacks on Chuan Ming and Meng Shan, this matter must not be spread outside," Wang Changsheng instructed. They had obtained the Jade Book of Heavenly Fate and a large number of cultivation technique manuals. Unfortunately, these manuals could not be revealed; if the news leaked, the Wang family would likely face utter destruction.

A high-grade soul cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, and it was only the first volume – even Golden Immortal cultivators would fight to seize it, let alone the Jade Book of Heavenly Fate.

Furthermore, they had killed Qin Long. If the Beast Spirit Sect found out, they would not let the Wang family off.

Qin Long had a high probability of advancing to the Golden Immortal stage. The Wang family had eliminated a quasi-Golden Immortal of the Beast Spirit Sect; this grudge was immense.

"Yes, Ancestor. Oh, by the way, Fellow Daoist Shen from Hundred Refinements Island contacted us, asking about you. He wondered why you suddenly left the market when the Heavenly Soldier Assembly hadn't ended. I told him that friends had visited, and you temporarily returned due to an urgent matter and haven't come back yet," Wang Yongqian remembered something and added.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "If he contacts you again, just say we haven't returned yet. Keep my return a secret."

Wang Yongqian agreed and departed to carry out the order.

"We've obtained so many excellent cultivation techniques, yet we can't use them," Wang Ruyan sighed.

Wang Changsheng flipped his right hand, took out a blue crystal ball, handed it to Wang Chan, and said, "Try to unlock the restriction."

This crystal ball had been stored with the Jade Book of Heavenly Fate and five cultivation techniques. Wang Changsheng always felt it wasn't so simple; the content of the "Echo Crystal" was practically nonsensical.

Wang Chan detected soul fluctuations. Had he not cultivated into a True Spirit, he wouldn't have been able to discover them.

The crystal ball surely contained more important information. What content could be more precious than the "Heavenly Soul Treasure Scroll"?

Wang Chan took the blue crystal ball and spewed out a cluster of golden light, enveloping the crystal ball.
