Chapter 3986: Generous Xuanling Tianzun (No More Today)

"I am Wang Changsheng, good to meet you, Fellow Daoist Xu.""I am Wang Ruyan, good to meet you, Fellow Daoist Xu."Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan introduced themselves with a smile.

Celestial Venerable Xuanling was a legend in the lower realm. The three major clans of the Xuanyang Realm even named fragments of the immortal realm after Celestial Venerable Xuanling's training ground, demonstrating his profound influence. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had long heard of him and were now excited to see Celestial Venerable Xuanling in person.

They had long admired Celestial Venerable Xuanling. As they sipped tea and discussed the Dao with him, they felt a mix of excitement and pride.

Celestial Venerable Xuanling stood up, smiling, and said, "Immortal Cao just told me about your deeds, and here you are. Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, please have a seat, and let's chat!"

Cao Yuanxing gestured for them to sit, and Cao Yufeng poured them tea. They began to chat idly. Wang Changsheng asked Celestial Venerable Xuanling about various matters, and Celestial Venerable Xuanling answered.

In the lower realm, Celestial Venerable Xuanling had opened two spiritual apertures and slain True Spirits of the same cultivation level. After ascending to the Immortal Realm, he arrived in the Sky-Chime Sea. After cultivating to the Golden Immortal stage, he ventured to the Chaos Continent and has not left it since.

Celestial Venerable Xuanling had not founded a sect or established a family; he lived alone, free and unfettered.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I heard you triggered a chaos beast tide? Please don't feel obligated to answer if it's inconvenient." Wang Ruyan asked politely.

"I was hunting Golden Immortal chaos beasts and ended up being chased by them. How could I possibly have the influence to trigger a chaos beast tide? You think too highly of me." Celestial Venerable Xuanling shook his head and replied.

"That's absolutely right. If triggering a chaos beast tide were that easy, it would be much simpler for us to eliminate chaos beasts. We could just set up a massive formation and lure the chaos beasts right into it." Cao Yuanxing expressed deep agreement.

If Celestial Venerable Xuanling could truly trigger a chaos beast tide, he wouldn't dare to show himself so openly.

"It is indeed not easy to trigger a chaos beast tide, but there are some who can achieve it; I've witnessed it myself." Celestial Venerable Xuanling said earnestly.

"Did they perhaps steal the cultivation resources guarded by the chaos beasts? Or caused trouble in their lairs, angering the priests of a chaos beast tribe?" Cao Jingxia analyzed.

Celestial Venerable Xuanling shook his head. "It wasn't like that," he said. "She simply stood in an open space and performed a secret technique, similar to how someone with a Myriad Beasts Body might command all beasts."

"Chaos beasts are essentially a unique type of creature, but they are entirely different from demon beasts! Can immortals truly command and control chaos beasts so easily?" Wang Changsheng was utterly bewildered.

"I'm not sure about that. Perhaps she possesses a unique immortal physique or some secret art!" Celestial Venerable Xuanling said.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you have a portrait of this person? Could you perhaps draw one for us?" Cao Yuanxing asked sincerely, stating that if Celestial Venerable Xuanling's account was true, this person would be an invaluable talent.

Celestial Venerable Xuanling retrieved a portrait and handed it to Cao Yuanxing.

Cao Yuanxing took the portrait and, upon seeing it, wore a thoughtful expression.

"This is not her true appearance. Strictly speaking, I'm not even certain of her gender; she's an enigma. As for strength, I am no match for her." Celestial Venerable Xuanling said.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were somewhat surprised. Celestial Venerable Xuanling was a Grand Perfection Golden Immortal, and even he wasn't a match? How powerful could this person truly be?

"Her gender is also uncertain? Does she constantly alter her gender characteristics? Or is she hermaphroditic?" Cao Yufeng asked in surprise.

"Sometimes she speaks with a man's voice, other times a woman's. I even suspect she might be two individuals." Celestial Venerable Xuanling said, frowning.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, have you heard of such a physique?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.

"No, the Immortal Realm is vast and resourceful, with many extraordinary individuals and unique abilities. My knowledge is by no means comprehensive." Cao Yuanxing replied.

"If one could control chaos beasts to trigger a beast tide, dealing with them would be far simpler. Such an extraordinary individual wouldn't be obscure; they must originate from a major power, right?" Wang Ruyan analyzed.

"It's hard to say. Some cultivators are accustomed to a carefree lifestyle, preferring to remain independent, never joining any force, and maintaining a low profile." Cao Yuanxing said.

After chatting for over half an hour, Wang Changsheng steered the conversation towards the chaos tribes in the Hulan Mountain Range.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you heading to the Hulan Mountain Range to eliminate chaos beasts?" Cao Yuanxing asked curiously. As a True Spirit, Wang Changsheng's courage to eliminate chaos beasts in the Hulan Mountain Range was understandable; ordinary Golden Immortal cultivators would not dare.

"Yes, we intend to practice against some True Immortal chaos beasts, depending on the situation. However, we're not familiar with the chaos beast tribes in the Hulan Mountain Range, so we hoped to inquire about them from you, Fellow Daoist Cao." Wang Changsheng said sincerely.

"Our Cao family organized an expedition to investigate the chaos beast tribes in the Hulan Mountain Range, but we suffered heavy losses and are not clear on the current situation there." Cao Yuanxing's face showed his dilemma; it wasn't that he was unwilling to help, but that he genuinely lacked information.

"The Hulan Mountain Range? I've hunted chaos beasts there myself. This information should be somewhat helpful to Fellow Daoist Wang. Since we both ascended from the Xuanyang Realm, consider it a gift." Celestial Venerable Xuanling took out a golden storage bracelet and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Cao Yuanxing and the other two looked on with envy; they hadn't expected Celestial Venerable Xuanling to be so generous.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Xu." Wang Changsheng said gratefully.

Celestial Venerable Xuanling let out a hearty laugh. "It's merely a small favor," he said. "Perhaps in the future, I might need your help, and then you can simply lend me a hand within your capabilities."

Wang Changsheng nodded. "Would it be alright if I made a copy for Fellow Daoist Cao?" he asked.

"Do as you please. Once I've given it to you, it's yours to handle as you wish." Celestial Venerable Xuanling continued, as if recalling something, "Oh, and places marked in gold on the map indicate the presence of mutated seven-colored chaos beasts. You should avoid those areas. Other areas shouldn't pose much of a problem, but given your current cultivation level, do not venture too deep into the Hulan Mountain Range. Even the regular seven-colored chaos beasts are not to be trifled with."

"Mutated seven-colored chaos beasts? Are you certain, Fellow Daoist Xu?" Cao Yuanxing pressed, thinking that if this were true, he would report it to the Taiyi Golden Immortals within his clan, urging them to eliminate the mutated seven-colored chaos beasts.

"That was over three hundred thousand years ago. So much time has passed, I don't know if it has advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage. If your family intends to eliminate the mutated seven-colored chaos beast, it would be best to have several Taiyi Golden Immortals act together." Celestial Venerable Xuanling said.

Mutated chaos beasts are highly prized. Their core crystals are incredibly valuable, used for refining Dao Pills, assisting immortals in opening spiritual apertures, crafting secret talismans, arranging specialized immortal formations, and more.

If a mutated chaos beast advances to a higher realm, its power will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Cao Yuanxing's expression grew serious. He nodded, assenting to the advice.

An hour later, Wang Changsheng and his two companions left Cao Yuanxing's residence. After descending the mountain, Celestial Venerable Xuanling parted ways with them. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan then purchased some raw materials, inquired about the prices of Golden Immortal chaos beasts, before leaving Yunlang City. They returned to Jiuxian City and then teleported back to Haoyang City.

After giving Wang Qingfeng a few instructions, they departed from Haoyang City and set off for the Hulan Mountain Range.
