Chapter 3940: Law 3921 Partial Success

Eighty thousand years had passed.

On Qinglian Island, at Qinglian Peak, Wang Yongqian and Wang Moxuan stood outside the manor, looking anxious. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was hosting a large-scale auction in the Chiyang Sea, even offering a mid-grade Immortal Extinguishing Cannon for bid, as well as Nine Marvelous Profound Origin Pills and Tribulation-Crossing treasures. Upon receiving the news, Wang Yongqian immediately sent a transmission talisman to Wang Changsheng, but there was no reply, indicating that Wang Changsheng was still in seclusion.

“Moxuan, take the team and head there first!” Wang Yongqian instructed. “If the Old Ancestor comes out of seclusion, you will be the vanguard. If he doesn't, try to bid for the Nine Marvelous Profound Origin Pills and the Tribulation-Crossing treasures.” Wang Moxuan nodded, and just as he was about to leave Qinglian Peak, a loud male voice rang out: “Yongqian, Moxuan, come in and talk!”

Hearing this, Wang Yongqian and Wang Moxuan looked pleased, quickly responded, and walked in. They soon arrived at a secluded courtyard and met Wang Changsheng. After he had refined the defensive immortal artifact Mu Yan’er requested, he immediately entered seclusion to comprehend the Soul Law. Wang Changsheng smiled. The effect of the Enlightenment Fruit was excellent; he had successfully comprehended the Soul Law. Not only that, but he had also cultivated all five laws to the 'Minor Accomplishment' stage, which was a huge breakthrough. With his cultivation at the Grand Perfection of True Immortal stage, having opened five orifices, and achieving Minor Accomplishment in his laws, it was truly rare. Such a situation had never occurred in the Tianchen Sea. Without the Enlightenment Fruit, even if he had been given eight hundred thousand years, he might not have been able to comprehend the Soul Law, let alone cultivate his laws to Minor Accomplishment. His comprehension ability had greatly increased, making it much easier to comprehend laws.

Wang Yongqian reported on the auction news and the family's development over the years. “The Nine Marvelous Profound Origin Pills and Tribulation-Crossing treasures, understood. We will make a trip to the Chiyang Sea.” Wang Changsheng nodded. Then, as if remembering something, he asked, “By the way, have you found out the cause of death of those two clan members?” “Not yet. Another clan member at the True Immortal stage has been murdered.” Wang Yongqian said, frowning. “Tell the clan members to travel in groups and heighten their vigilance. How is the investigation into the Meng family progressing?” Wang Changsheng asked.

“The Meng family's True Immortal cultivators are very low-key. They always travel in groups, sometimes even accompanied by cultivators from the Jiang family or other factions. We haven't found a suitable opportunity to target a Meng family True Immortal cultivator, so we haven't found any useful clues.” Wang Yongqian reported. The Meng family had suffered a minor setback last time and had increased their vigilance. “Understood. You may go and attend to your duties. Moxuan, be careful when you're out.” Wang Changsheng waved his hand, dismissing them. “It seems someone is targeting our Wang family, and the Meng family is highly suspicious!” A cold female voice echoed.

Wang Ruyan emerged from the pavilion, her willow-shaped eyebrows tightly furrowed. She had also cultivated diligently for many years, comprehending the Soul Law, and all five of her laws had reached Minor Accomplishment. Having just exited seclusion, she learned that clan members had been inexplicably killed, naturally putting her in a bad mood. “The Meng family has no Golden Immortal cultivators; they are merely insignificant clowns,” Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice. “Let's first head to the Chiyang Sea, hoping to acquire the Nine Marvelous Profound Origin Pills and Tribulation-Crossing treasures. If we advance to the Golden Immortal stage, what would the Meng family even be?” Wang Ruyan nodded. They then departed from Qinglian Island and hastened towards the Chiyang Sea.

On Xuanhuo Island, at Xuanhuo Peak, Meng Tianfeng and Meng Tianmei sat in a blue stone pavilion, conversing. “Wang family cultivators are so resolute? They self-destruct immediately after their bodies are destroyed,” Meng Tianfeng said with a grim expression. He had spent a fortune to hire a Grand Perfection True Immortal cultivator to successively eliminate three Wang family True Immortal cultivators, intending to capture one alive for soul-searching, but he had not succeeded. “We shouldn't continue to target the Wang family cultivators. Standing by the river often, one's shoes are bound to get wet eventually. This path is no longer viable. Fellow Daoist Lin wouldn't betray us, would he?” Meng Tianmei said, frowning.

“My clone contacted him. He's mercenary and doesn't care who's involved, so he shouldn't know I'm behind this. It's not a big deal. Even if he did know, Yu Die is Senior Jin's disciple, so he wouldn't speak carelessly.” Meng Tianfeng said nonchalantly. Then, his tone shifted as he added, “I have now advanced to the late True Immortal stage and opened five orifices. Even if True Immortal Taihao dares to come knocking, I won't fear him.” Meng Tianmei nodded, took out a light-gold magical disk, and input a magic incantation. A respectful male voice echoed: “Old Ancestor Tianmei, Fellow Daoist Jiang has arrived; he said he's here for the appointment.” “Quickly, invite them to the reception hall. We'll be right there.” Meng Tianmei instructed, putting away the magical disk. They arrived at the reception hall. Soon after, a tall, valiant-looking young man in a blue robe walked in. This was Jiang Tianhai, a Grand Perfection True Immortal.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, long time no see,” Meng Tianfeng said, his tone warm. “Let's save the pleasantries for the road. If there's nothing else, let's depart! I hope we can bid successfully for the Nine Marvelous Profound Origin Pills,” Jiang Tianhai urged. They had received news that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was holding a large-scale auction in the Chiyang Sea, offering the Nine Marvelous Profound Origin Pills for bid. This pill could assist True Immortal cultivators in breaking through to the Golden Immortal stage, attracting many cultivators to participate. Meng Tianfeng and Meng Tianmei nodded and agreed. The three then departed from Xuanhuo Island.

In a certain cerulean part of the Chiyang Sea, a refreshing sea breeze blew. A colossal tower, shimmering with golden light, floated high in the sky. The silver characters "Ten Thousand Immortals Tower" were carved onto its body, radiating immortal light continuously. A team of True Immortal cultivators patrolled this sea area, maintaining strict vigilance. A green light streak flew from a distance. Before long, its speed slowed, revealing a green, shimmering flying boat with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan standing upon it. “So this is the Ten Thousand Immortals Tower! A high-grade immortal artifact!” Wang Changsheng murmured to himself. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was a major power in the Northern Sea Immortal Realm, a merchant organization that, like the Grand Merchant Alliance of the Xuanyang Realm, focused solely on business.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had a Grand Unity Golden Immortal presiding over it. All their auctions were held within the Ten Thousand Immortals Tower, a high-grade immortal artifact. Each independent private box inside the tower was equipped with a random teleportation array, allowing guests to depart at any time after the auction to avoid contact with other cultivators. Their reputation was excellent. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance treated everyone equally, without distinguishing between VIPs and regular guests. They charged Chaos Beast Crystal Cores as an entry fee; the higher the auction's prestige, the more valuable the Chaos Beast Crystal Cores required. A saying had circulated in the Northern Sea Immortal Realm for many years: "As long as you have enough Chaos Beast Crystal Cores, you are a revered guest of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. There's nothing the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance can't provide, only prices you can't afford." High-grade orifice-opening secret techniques, high-grade immortal artifacts, high-grade Immortal Extinguishing Cannons, and more were all available for sale; it simply depended on whether you possessed enough Chaos Beast Crystal Cores. Unlike other auctions, items at the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's auctions were primarily settled with Chaos Beast Crystal Cores, though immortal essence stones were also accepted, provided they were at least high-grade.
