Chapter 3995: Qingshan Golden Immortal

Azure Lotus Island, Celestial Morning Sea. Within a secret chamber on Azure Lotus Peak.

Wang Ruyan sat cross-legged on a blue meditation cushion, her eyes slightly closed. Her body was enveloped by countless mysterious musical notes, and waves of immortal music resonated around her.

A short while later, a sound transmission talisman flew into the room and landed before Wang Ruyan.

The musical notes around Wang Ruyan dissipated. She opened her eyes, then exhaled a beam of blue light that struck the talisman.

With a muffled pop, the talisman spontaneously combusted, and Wang Yongqian’s joyful voice emerged: "Ancestor, Ancestor Qingshan is attempting to break through to the Golden Immortal stage!"

After Wang Ruyan and Wang Mengbin returned to Azure Lotus Island, she had given Wang Qingshan the Chaos Armor, Azure Profound Bead, Ink Cloud Shield, and Nine Yang Lightning Transformation Talisman, instructing him to enter seclusion to attempt his Golden Immortal breakthrough.

She did not immediately return to the Chaos Continent but remained on Azure Lotus Island to guard Wang Qingshan, ensuring everything would proceed without a hitch.

Wang Changsheng was sufficient to oversee Haoyang City; it wouldn't be too late for her to return there after Wang Qingshan successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal stage.

Wang Ruyan walked out into a secret chamber several hundred zhang in size, which contained a hundred-zhang-wide teleportation array.

She stepped onto it and cast a spell. The teleportation array vibrated violently, and a blinding spiritual light flared up, engulfing Wang Ruyan’s form.

She was teleported to Xuanyang Island, where she landed on a high peak. Above another nearby peak, a massive six-colored thundercloud hovered.

"It truly is different from an ordinary True Immortal cultivator attempting the Golden Immortal breakthrough," Wang Ruyan murmured, her expression growing serious.

When True Immortals of the Li family attempted their Golden Immortal breakthrough, they only drew three-colored immortal lightning. While mastering special laws could lead to six-colored immortal lightning after the three-colored ones, their comprehension of these laws was merely rudimentary.

Wang Qingshan, however, directly attracted six-colored immortal lightning. Fairy Xuanyin likely experienced the same, which explained why she couldn’t overcome it.

Wang Ruyan had conversed with several Golden Immortal cultivators, and they all stated that their Golden Immortal breakthroughs, including Cao Yuanxing’s, began with three-colored immortal lightning.

Since Wang Qingshan had achieved minor accomplishment in his laws, his lightning tribulation would naturally be more intense.

A rumbling thunder resonated as a thick bolt of six-colored immortal lightning cleaved down, heading straight for the peak.

With a deafening crash, a blinding orb of six-colored lightning illuminated the sky.

The thunder continued incessantly, as successive bolts of six-colored lightning tribulations rained down, all aimed at Wang Qingshan.

After about the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, the lightning tribulation was still ongoing. Wang Qingshan had already withstood twenty-four bolts of six-colored immortal lightning. For comparison, Qi Tongguang and Cao Yuanxing, during their Golden Immortal breakthroughs, had only endured nine bolts of immortal lightning, though the number of six-colored bolts they encountered was different.

The peak had been leveled by the powerful shockwaves. Wang Qingshan, clad in the Chaos Armor, had a pale face. The Azure Profound Bead and Ink Cloud Shield were already destroyed, yet he still hadn't used the Nine Yang Lightning Transformation Talisman.

In addition to the Azure Profound Bead and Ink Cloud Shield, he had also expended two defensive second-tier immortal talismans. The tribulation was still ongoing, explaining why Fairy Xuanyin couldn't overcome it. Fortunately, he possessed a mid-grade Chaos Armor.

With a deafening crack of thunder, an immensely thick bolt of six-colored immortal lightning descended like a colossal six-colored lightning sword, hurtling directly towards Wang Qingshan.

Wang Qingshan raised his right hand, and a sharp blue sword light swept forth, striking straight at the six-colored lightning sword.

The two collided, and the six-colored lightning sword was bisected by the blue sword light. It then exploded, and a dazzling six-colored lightning engulfed Wang Qingshan's form.

A rumbling sound of thunder echoed as an even thicker six-colored immortal lightning bolt descended, its radiance growing more intense.

The six-colored thundercloud churned like boiling water, and a six-colored Qilin emerged, its body enveloped by countless six-colored electric arcs, charging directly toward Wang Qingshan.

As the six-colored Qilin approached within a hundred zhang of the radiant lightning, countless sharp blue sword lights shot forth, striking the Qilin repeatedly.

A massive explosion erupted, and the six-colored Qilin's body burst apart, transforming into a huge expanse of six-colored lightning that engulfed a large area. The entire Xuanyang Island shook violently, and dust billowed everywhere.

The six-colored thundercloud vanished, and Wang Ruyan let out a sigh of relief.

Observing Wang Qingshan's Golden Immortal breakthrough process, she drew a conclusion.

True Immortals whose comprehension of laws is rudimentary will face only nine bolts of immortal lightning when attempting the Golden Immortal breakthrough. The more special laws they master, the greater the number of six-colored immortal lightning bolts they will encounter. True Immortals who have achieved minor accomplishment in their laws will face twenty-seven lightning tribulations, all of which are six-colored immortal lightning.

Furthermore, True Immortals who have achieved minor accomplishment in Supreme Laws will face thirty-six lightning tribulations, all consisting of nine-colored immortal lightning. These tribulations will also include attacks from Heavenly Prodigy Incarnation lightning. Upon successfully passing the tribulation, nine-colored immortal water will appear for healing.

A man’s booming laughter, echoing to the heavens, emanated from within the six-colored lightning. A long azure rainbow then shot out from the light, landing before Wang Ruyan. It was Wang Qingshan.

He had successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal stage. While his Chaos Armor showed several fine cracks on its surface, the damage wasn’t severe, and Wang Changsheng could repair it.

"Qingshan, did you use the Nine Yang Lightning Transformation Talisman?" Wang Ruyan asked.

"No," Wang Qingshan replied with a smile. "The mid-grade Chaos Armor provided excellent defense. I didn't need to use the Nine Yang Lightning Transformation Talisman; I can save it for Mengbin's Golden Immortal breakthrough."

Wang Ruyan nodded. A True Immortal cultivator undergoing tribulation while wearing mid-grade Chaos Armor was likely a unique sight in the Celestial Morning Sea, as others wouldn't have such a powerful item.

Had Fairy Xuanyin possessed a mid-grade Chaos Armor, she likely wouldn't have perished during her lightning tribulation.

"Take some time to recuperate thoroughly," Wang Ruyan said. "I need to return to Haoyang City. You will oversee Azure Lotus Island. We will strive to establish a 'Profound' city."

Wang Qingshan agreed and returned to Azure Lotus Island to rest.

Back on Azure Lotus Peak, as Wang Ruyan was about to re-enter her secret chamber for cultivation, she sensed something. She retrieved a blue-glowing communication disc, cast a spell into it, and Wang Yongqian’s voice chimed: "Ancestor, a clan member has ascended to the Immortal Realm from the Xuanyang Realm. Would you like to meet him?"

"Bring him here," Wang Ruyan instructed. With Wang Qingshan's successful breakthrough, she was in excellent spirits.

Not long after, Wang Yongqian appeared before Wang Ruyan, accompanied by a tall, slender young man in a green shirt.

"Ancestor, this is Yunfu, he is a talisman maker," Wang Yongqian said with a smile. "Today truly brings double joy: Ancestor Qingshan has advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, and Wang Yunfu has ascended to the Immortal Realm."

"Your grandson Wang Yunfu respectfully greets Ancestor," Wang Yunfu said, bowing deeply, his expression filled with excitement.

He had heard tales of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan since childhood, and to ascend to the Immortal Realm and now meet Wang Ruyan filled him with both pride and excitement.

"A talisman maker! Excellent," Wang Ruyan instructed. "Yongqian, take him and settle him properly."

The Wang family could refine Immortal Exterminating Arrows, which was a lucrative business. Naturally, they couldn't rely solely on Wang Ruyan; the more immortal talisman masters within the clan, the better.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Yongqian affirmed, then led Wang Yunfu away from Azure Lotus Peak.

"By my calculations, my husband should have opened his sixth orifice by now!" Wang Ruyan murmured to herself. She then entered a secret chamber, sat cross-legged, and began her cultivation.

A year later, Wang Ruyan led a group of clan members away from Azure Lotus Island, heading for the Chaos Continent.
