Chapter 4038: Blue Celestial Immortal Wood

A team of Wang family cultivators stood on the city walls of Xuan Yu City, and five medium-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons were visible.

A yellow streak of light flew from a distance. As it approached Xuan Yu City within ten thousand miles, its speed slowed, revealing a yellow-glowing flying boat with Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan standing on it.

They had followed Wang Qingshan to the Chaotic Continent, where they were in charge of intelligence work. "It's Ancestor Chuanming and Ancestor Mengshan," clan members exclaimed, recognizing them and quickly granting them passage.

Upon returning to Xuan Yu City, Wang Chuanming and Wang Mengshan went to a steep peak. At its summit was a vast estate.

As Wang Chuanming was about to send a voice transmission talisman, Wang Mengbin's voice rang out: "No need for a talisman; come straight in!"

Wang Chuanming acknowledged, and along with Wang Mengshan, flew into the estate, landing before a hexagonal cyan stone pavilion. Wang Mengbin was seated inside.

After escorting Wang Qingling and the other three back to Green Lotus Island, he had stayed in the Sky Morning Sea Area for a while before bringing people to the Chaotic Continent.

"Ancestor Mengbin," Wang Chuanming said, "near the Azure Ripple Grassland, there's a Cyan Nether Immortal Wood that's over two million years old. This is excellent material for crafting medium-grade flying immortal artifacts, but it's guarded by two Golden Immortal-stage Five-Colored Chaos Beasts."

"Cyan Nether Immortal Wood?" Wang Mengbin asked curiously. "Where did you get this information?"

"We bought the intelligence from an information broker," Wang Chuanming reported, taking out a cyan beast hide and handing it to Wang Mengbin. "We personally made a trip to the Azure Ripple Grassland and confirmed it. Here's the exact location of the Cyan Nether Immortal Wood." To ensure accuracy, he and Wang Mengshan had gone to the Azure Ripple Grassland to investigate.

Both he and Wang Mengshan possessed low-grade Chaos Armors. As long as they didn't encounter Golden Immortal cultivators or Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts, their lives would generally not be in danger.

"I'll go with Yidao on this trip!" Wang Mengbin instructed. "It'll be a good stretch for our bones. You two don't need to go; just await our good news."

"Understood, Ancestor Mengbin," Wang Chuanming replied, and he and Wang Mengshan withdrew.

Wang Mengbin took out a silver-glowing Immortal Transmission Mirror, infused it with a magic incantation, and soon saw Wang Yidao's face appear on the mirror's surface.

"Yidao," Wang Mengbin said, "Chuanming and Mengshan found a Cyan Nether Immortal Wood over two million years old near the Azure Ripple Grassland, but it's guarded by two Golden Immortal-stage Five-Colored Chaos Beasts. Come with me on this trip! Once we get the Cyan Nether Immortal Wood and refine it into a flying immortal artifact, our family's merchant caravans will travel much faster."

"No need to call Ancestor Qingshan?" Wang Yidao asked.

"We're enough for this," Wang Mengbin said. "Bring a medium-grade Chaos Armor with you." Both of them had opened their sixth spiritual aperture using formation arrays, but Wang Yidao was not a true spirit, and without the protection of a medium-grade Chaos Armor, he could easily perish.

"Alright," Wang Yidao agreed.

Taking an immortal array for transplanting immortal wood and a set of medium-grade Chaos Armor, they left Xuan Yu City and headed for the Azure Ripple Grassland.

Golden Leaf City was a Profound City controlled by the Qian family. Buildings stood densely within the city, and people bustled about.

In a quiet estate, Qian Yuru and a graceful young woman in a purple dress sat by a cyan tea table, sipping tea and chatting.

"Has Yiguang not emerged from seclusion yet?" Qian Yuru asked casually.

"He received news that there's a two-million-year-old Cyan Nether Immortal Wood near the Azure Ripple Grassland," the young woman in the purple dress explained. Her name was Qian Yuxin, a cultivator at the early Golden Immortal stage. "He went to the Azure Ripple Grassland with Fellow Daoist Xu and Immortal Sun, intending to eliminate the two Golden Immortal-stage Five-Colored Chaos Beasts guarding the wood. Yiguang is a top-tier true spirit, and Fellow Daoist Xu and Immortal Sun cooperate skillfully. With a medium-grade Immortal Extermination Cannon, defeating those two Chaos Beasts shouldn't be a problem."

"Azure Ripple Grassland? Where did he get that news? Are you sure it's not mistaken?" Qian Yuru said, frowning.

"Immortal Luoshui performed a divination for Yiguang, saying his destiny was connected to a place name containing the character 'Cang'," Qian Yuxin explained. "Yiguang sent people to investigate widely, and they unexpectedly discovered the Cyan Nether Immortal Wood near the Azure Ripple Grassland. So they personally went there. It's just two Golden Immortal-stage Five-Colored Chaos Beasts; there shouldn't be any problem."

Qian Yiguang had asked Immortal Luoshui to perform a divination for him, which revealed that his destiny was tied to a place name containing the character 'Cang'. The Qian family had dispatched many people to investigate places with 'Cang' in their names, seeking opportunities, and surprisingly, they found a two-million-year-old Cyan Nether Immortal Wood in the Azure Ripple Grassland.

Qian Yuru nodded and said, "That's good then! I hope they return safely."

In the Azure Ripple Grassland, a silver streak of light swiftly swept across the sky.

Before long, the silver streak of light stopped, revealing a silver-glowing flying boat. Wang Mengbin and Wang Yidao stood on it.

Wang Mengbin held a cyan beast hide in his hand, examining it carefully, while Wang Yidao remained silent.

"It's just ahead!"

Wang Mengbin performed a hand seal, and the silver flying boat immediately shot forward at high speed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the silver flying boat stopped. Before them lay a continuous range of emerald green mountains. A four-colored Chaos Beast resembling a falcon flew towards them, possessing late-stage True Immortal cultivation.

Dazzling golden light surged from Wang Yidao's right hand as he slashed towards the void.

A brilliant golden blade light shot into the sky, as if splitting heaven and earth in half, visible for ten thousand miles around.

The golden blade light, like lightning tearing through dark clouds, was incredibly fast, instantly appearing before the four-colored Chaos Beast and striking its body.

With a muffled thud, the four-colored Chaos Beast was split into two.

Wang Yidao collected the Chaos Beast's corpse, remaining silent.

Wang Mengbin performed a hand seal, and the silver flying boat slowly descended. They put away the silver flying boat and walked towards a gorge ahead.

Tens of thousands of miles away, two men and one woman stood atop a low mound. Leading them was a tall, burly man in a golden robe.

A full-figured young woman in a yellow dress had dazzling yellow light flickering in her eyes, and her slender brows were tightly furrowed.

"It's True Lord Zixiao and True Monarch Badao! Why are they here too?" the young woman in the yellow dress asked, puzzled.

"Could they also be here for the Cyan Nether Immortal Wood? Or do they have another agenda?" a thin old man in a red robe asked curiously.

"Let's follow them and see what they're up to," the man in the golden robe said, his gaze firm. His name was Qian Yiguang, a cultivator at the mid-Golden Immortal stage. "In any case, we must obtain the Cyan Nether Immortal Wood."

"They are only at the early Golden Immortal stage. Should we eliminate them?" the young woman in the yellow dress asked, her face full of killing intent.

"They are only at the early Golden Immortal stage, yet they dare to leave the city and venture into the wilderness," the thin old man analyzed. "Either they have also cultivated into top-tier true spirits, or they possess medium-grade Chaos Armors."

"Let's observe the situation," Qian Yiguang said. "Don't underestimate them. Daring to leave the city and operate in Chaos Beast territory means their strength is definitely not weak. If conditions allow, we can also make a move to eliminate them and weaken the Wang family's power." Now that the Wang family's territory borders the Qian family's, the Wang family being too strong is not good for the Qian family.

Dazzling yellow light erupted from the young woman in the yellow dress, enveloping all three of them. They then burrowed into the ground and followed.
