The crystal ball showed no abnormalities. Wang Chan also opened his mouth and spat out a golden light, enveloping the crystal ball.
A dense black light curtain appeared on the surface of the crystal ball, displaying countless mysterious runes that emitted faint soul fluctuations.
Their eyes each shot out a golden light, striking the black light curtain. The runes on the surface of the black light curtain dimmed, becoming indistinct.
Soon after, the black light curtain shattered like a bubble, and a blue light flew out, revealing the phantom image of a beautiful young woman in a blue dress, exuding a terrifying aura.
“Only descendants of our Li family could have discovered the secret of the Echo Crystal. Outsiders would not value the Echo Crystal left by Li family cultivators, and even if they did, without having cultivated the Heavenly Soul Scripture, their souls would not be strong enough to uncover the crystal ball’s secrets.
The cultivation techniques recorded on the five jade slips are eighty percent true and twenty percent false. By the time problems are discovered during later stages of cultivation, it’s already too late. I did this to prevent forces like the Nine Immortals Sect and the Clear Moon Alliance from obtaining our Li family’s most crucial secrets.” The phantom image of the young woman in the blue dress said slowly.
The blue crystal ball contained six cultivation techniques: the five techniques including the Heavenly Soul Scripture, and also a combined attack technique, the Four Symbols True Spirit Art.
“Possessing a treasure without sufficient power brings disaster. Do not easily reveal these six cultivation techniques and the Heavenly Fate Jade Scroll, or it will invite trouble.” After saying this, the phantom image of the young woman in the blue dress dissipated.
“If disciples from forces like the Nine Immortals Sect or the Clear Moon Alliance had discovered that space, they certainly wouldn't have given much thought to the Li family ancestor's Echo Crystal. They would have directly cultivated the techniques recorded on the jade slips, and problems would indeed have arisen later on,” Wang Ruyan said with some relief.
To ensure his descendants received the true inheritance, the Li family ancestor had gone to great lengths. Fortunately, Wang Chan discovered the crystal ball’s abnormality.
“The Four Symbols True Spirit Art!” Wang Changsheng's face showed an expression of interest. The Four Symbols True Spirit Art requires four True Immortal cultivators to practice together, ideally siblings.
Wang Changxian and his three brothers are full siblings. The Wang family has many multiple births, including twins, triplets, and quadruplets.
Cultivators of the Four Symbols True Spirit Art aim to advance towards becoming True Spirits. This requires a large amount of external assistance, such as immortal herbs, immortal pills, immortal fruits, and immortal wines. If one can cultivate into a True Spirit and then use combined attack techniques, their power will significantly increase.
This cultivation technique only has an upper volume, allowing cultivation up to the Golden Immortal stage. Content beyond the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage is found in the middle and lower volumes.
The Li family cultivators obtained the Heavenly Fate Jade Scroll, the Four Symbols True Spirit Art, and the Heavenly Soul Scripture from the Qiankun Ruins. For this, they lost four Golden Immortal cultivators, suffering severe losses. Before they could recover, Tian Chenzi died, and the Tianchen Sea Region fell into internal strife.
Other major forces coveted the Heavenly Fate Jade Scroll, the Four Symbols True Spirit Art, and the Heavenly Soul Scripture, and consequently, allied to destroy the Li family.
The Heavenly Soul Scripture includes multiple soul secret arts, among which is the Immortal Soul Capture Light, a secret art that can read some of an enemy's memories before their soul dissipates.
Elite disciples from major forces, such as Qin Long and Yan Yuyan, had special restrictions placed upon them by their elders to prevent soul-searching by enemies. However, if one mastered the Immortal Soul Capture Light, they could still extract some memories.
Successfully cultivating the first three layers of the Heavenly Soul Scripture allows one to master the 'Soul Extermination Finger' divine ability. Wang Chuanming had been hit by one such finger; a few more hits would have cost him his life.
The Li family ancestor, by comprehending the Law of Soul through the Heavenly Soul Scripture, could instantly kill opponents of the same rank with a single strike, provided their souls were not exceptionally powerful or protected by soul-defending treasures.
The Law of Soul is far more potent than soul divine abilities. However, comprehending it is no easy feat. According to the phantom image of the young woman in the blue dress, no fewer than five Golden Immortal cultivators in the Li family practiced the Heavenly Soul Scripture, yet only the Li family ancestor fortunately managed to comprehend the Law of Soul.
“If we could comprehend the Law of Soul, we would have no problem defeating a five-colored chaotic beast by ourselves.” Wang Ruyan's face showed a look of longing.
“First, let's increase our strength as quickly as possible. I hope Cangli Island won't be discovered by major forces like the Clear Moon Alliance and the Nine Immortals Sect.” Wang Changsheng concluded, a worried expression on his face.
The appearance of Cangli Island this time would certainly attract the attention of all major forces. They would undoubtedly dispatch a large number of people to search for it, and even Golden Immortal cultivators might take action.
They had obtained many valuable items this time, but for him, the most precious was the Dao Pill containing the Law of Strength.
Wang Ruyan nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she took out a shimmering Immortal Transmission Mirror, and after casting a spell, Gao Yunhai appeared on its surface, his expression grave.
“Fellow Daoist Wang, have you received the news?” Gao Yunhai asked.
“What news? We were out handling some matters and haven’t returned yet. What’s wrong?” Wang Ruyan asked, puzzled.
“Cangli Island has appeared. The Sect Master has ordered that cultivators or forces who provide clues about Cangli Island will be heavily rewarded, including immortal pills and herbs for breaking through to Golden Immortal.” Gao Yunhai replied.
“Cangli Island has appeared? When did this happen?” Wang Ruyan's face showed an astonished expression.
“A little over half a month ago. I heard you exchanged for a Nine-Revolving Jade Soul Fruit at the Heavenly Weapon Assembly? And then you left the market.” Gao Yunhai asked.
He thought Wang Changsheng had left the market to avoid trouble, as the Nine-Revolving Jade Soul Fruit was very precious. As for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan entering Cangli Island, he didn't even consider that possibility.
Cangli Island had appeared in the Clear Moon Alliance's territory and quickly closed, remaining open for less than half a day. Unless Wang Changsheng already knew where Cangli Island was, it would have been impossible for him to travel to the Clear Moon Alliance's territory in time.
“My husband did indeed consume the Nine-Revolving Jade Soul Fruit, that much is true.” Wang Ruyan looked troubled.
“I'm not asking you for the Nine-Revolving Jade Soul Fruit. However, if you acquire any pure Chaotic Beast crystal cores in the future, you can trade with our Nine Immortals Sect first; we also have Nine-Revolving Jade Soul Fruits.” Gao Yunhai said.
He was in charge of miscellaneous affairs, and acquiring a pure three-colored crystal core would be a significant contribution.
“Alright, we will.” Wang Ruyan agreed.
“By the way, if there’s nothing urgent, you two should return soon! The cultivation world has been a bit restless lately, and there might be a war brewing.” Gao Yunhai cautioned.
Golden Immortal cultivators from the Nine Immortals Sect were personally leading teams to search for Cangli Island within their jurisdiction, but they hadn't found it yet. If Cangli Island appeared at the border between major forces, a fierce battle would certainly erupt over its control.
Even if Cangli Island were to appear within a single force's territory, other forces would not idly watch it fall into the hands of a rival. A major conflict would be inevitable.
“Understood. We'll return as soon as we finish our current tasks.” Wang Ruyan agreed.
After a brief chat, Gao Yunhai severed the connection.
“I hope Cangli Island isn't found, otherwise a major war will be unavoidable.” Wang Changsheng said.
He called Wang Qingbai, handed him a golden jade bottle, and said, “Qingbai, this is a wisp of first-tier immortal flame. Take it and refine it!”
He had obtained a wisp of immortal flame after killing Bai Qingshu, which was perfect for Wang Qingbai.
“Thank you, Father!” Wang Qingbai thanked him and accepted the golden jade bottle.
After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng dismissed Wang Qingbai. He then entered a secret chamber, sat cross-legged on a futon, and took out an exquisite jade box.
