Chapter 4052: Robbing the Opportunity (No More Today)

"Could it be the rumored immortal's cave of Immortal Monarch Cangyue? I hope it's not another fake!" Wang Qingling said, frowning. She knew that the Treasure Hunting Hall had previously discovered a supposed immortal's cave of Immortal Monarch Cangyue, but it turned out to be a fake.

"They only managed to break through the outer restrictions, so they aren't certain it's Immortal Monarch Cangyue's immortal's cave," Wang Yongqian explained. "However, it has a second-tier immortal formation, the Big Dipper Heavenly Fiend Array. Based on their analysis, it should be an immortal's cave belonging to a Golden Immortal cultivator. But before they could break through the main restrictions, cultivators from the Qian family arrived. Our Ancestor is not on Qinglian Island, and Ancestor Qingcheng is in seclusion, comprehending the Laws."

Currently, the only Golden Immortal cultivators the Wang family can deploy are Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao. "Where is it located? How did the Qian family not discover that immortal's cave?" Wang Qingling asked.

"It's on Cangyuan Island," Wang Yongqian explained, providing the island's coordinates. "It was originally the ancestral land of a small family that has since been wiped out. The spiritual energy on the island is weak, and no major forces took an interest in it, so it was left abandoned and became a desolate island." "Understood. Qingxiao and I will go then," Wang Qingling instructed. "Increase vigilance and stay in contact with me. If I encounter any trouble, notify Qingcheng immediately and have him come as backup. Yingjie has just advanced to the Golden Immortal stage."

The Wang family now had four Golden Immortal cultivators in the Tianchen Sea Region: Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao, who had been Golden Immortals for some time; Wang Qingcheng, who was in seclusion comprehending the Laws; and Wang Yingjie, who had just recently advanced to the Golden Immortal stage. "Yes, Ancestor Qingling," Wang Yongqian acknowledged. Wang Qingling put away her communication mirror and said to Wang Yingjie, "Yingjie, you should return and consolidate your cultivation for now. We have something to attend to." Wang Yingjie agreed and watched Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao depart.

He took out a blue communication mirror, imbued it with a spell, and Wang Yongqian's image appeared on its surface. "Ancestor Yingjie, Ancestor Hongxue is currently attempting to break through to the Golden Immortal stage," Wang Yongqian informed him. "Understood. I'll go to Xuanyang Island right away to check. You stay in contact with Ancestor Qingling," Wang Yingjie instructed. He then put away the communication mirror and used a teleportation array to reach Xuanyang Island.

On Cangyuan Island, a team of Qian family cultivators was attacking a silver light barrier. The most powerful among them were a tall, red-robed elder and a young man with a hawk-like nose and a green robe. "Accelerate! Break through the formation as quickly as possible!" commanded the red-robed elder, Qian Yushuo, a mid-stage Golden Immortal. "When the Hong family was eliminated, our subordinates actually failed to discover this immortal's cave. Truly incompetent," the green-robed youth, Qian Yifeng, an early-stage Golden Immortal, said with a frown.

The Qian family currently had four Golden Immortal cultivators in the Tianchen Sea Region; one was in seclusion, and another had advanced to the Golden Immortal stage less than a century ago. This meant only Qian Yushuo and Qian Yifeng could personally undertake this trip. Immortal Maiden Luoshui had divined for Qian Yiguang, deducing that his fortuitous encounter was related to a place name containing the character "Cang." The Qian family had dispatched many cultivators to search for opportunities in places with "Cang" in their names, never expecting to find it within their own controlled territory.

"This island has no immortal veins, only a seventh-tier spiritual vein, and its area isn't large. There are far more spiritual energy-rich islands than Cangyuan Island. Plus, islands frequently change their names, so it's no wonder they didn't discover it," Qian Yushuo stated. Strictly speaking, the Hong family was eliminated by a subordinate force of a Qian family's subordinate force. Islands in the Tianchen Sea Region are numerous, and when ownership changes, their names sometimes change, making investigation difficult. If not for the discovery of this ancient cultivator's immortal's cave, they would only have learned this desolate island was called Cangyuan Island after thorough investigation. Before this, the island had changed names many times and lacked immortal veins or significant cultivation resources, naturally remaining unnoticed.

"Regardless, once this matter is resolved, they must be severely punished," Qian Yifeng said with a cold expression. Fortunately, a clan member discovered the ancient cultivator's immortal's cave, otherwise, the opportunity would have slipped away.

"Someone triggered the warning formation and is heading this way," Qian Yiyu said with a frown, holding a blue-glowing formation disk. The Wang family's territory was not far from here, so their rapid arrival indicated it was most likely Wang family cultivators. "You all leave first and notify the Ancestor. You won't be able to help in a fight between Golden Immortals," Qian Yushuo instructed. His divine sense detected two powerful auras flying towards them. Qian Yiyu and the others assented and departed one by one.

A blue-glowing flying shuttle approached from the distance, with Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao standing on it, their expressions solemn. They had used a teleportation array to reach the front line, then traveled the rest of the way with the mid-grade immortal artifact, the Azure Nether Shuttle, quickly arriving at their destination. The Azure Nether Shuttle, gifted to Wang Qingling by Wang Changsheng, had proven to be very useful.

"A mid-grade immortal artifact!" Qian Yushuo's brows furrowed. The Wang family was truly wealthy! Even an early-stage Golden Immortal cultivator possessed a mid-grade flying immortal artifact, something he himself lacked.

"Immortal Maiden Wang, Fellow Daoist Wang, what brings you to our Qian family's territory?" Qian Yushuo asked with a cold expression. "Your Qian family's territory? Have you stationed cultivators here?" Wang Qingling scoffed. It was a common understanding in the Tianchen Sea Region that many uninhabited islands existed, and any island without stationed cultivators was considered ownerless. "This sea region belongs to our Qian family, so Cangyuan Island naturally belongs to us," Qian Yifeng sneered. "I could just as easily say the Tianchen Sea Region belongs to our Wang family!" Wang Qingxiao retorted mockingly.

"You refuse a toast and ask for a forfeit. You're courting death." A cold glint flashed in Qian Yushuo's eyes. He formed a hand seal, and a vast expanse of scarlet flames swept forth. The island instantly burst into a raging inferno, and the sea surface also caught fire. He had cultivated his Laws to the minor accomplishment stage. Immortal Maiden Bailing had certainly not been a Golden Immortal for a hundred thousand years, so she likely hadn't cultivated her Laws to minor accomplishment. Even if she had, he wasn't afraid, as he was a mid-stage Golden Immortal.

A large swathe of scarlet flames surged directly towards Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao. Simultaneously, tens of thousands of feet long azure wind blades appeared in the void, slashing at them. Qian Yifeng's arms glowed with a burst of blue light, and a series of muffled "crackling" sounds emanated from his body as he slammed his arms towards the void. A whooshing sound filled the air, and dense azure fist shadows shot forth, heading straight for Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao. He had cultivated into a True Spirit, albeit an ordinary one, which was still impressive. He had consumed many body-tempering immortal pills, making his physical strength comparable to that of a top-tier True Spirit, and his comprehension of the Law of Strength further enhanced his power.

Wang Qingling put away the Azure Nether Shuttle. With a flick of her sleeve, Wang Que flew out from her spirit beast bracelet. Wang Qingling was currently at the mid-stage True Immortal realm. Wang Que's body glowed crimson and merged with Wang Qingling, causing a pair of red, flickering bird wings to sprout from Wang Qingling's back. Wang Qingxiao opened his mouth and let out a dragon's roar that echoed through the sky, unleashing a white sound wave, the Law of Sound. The white sound wave collided with the scarlet flames, causing the latter to instantly dissipate. The azure wind blades also scattered immediately. A giant club, shimmering with blue light, descended from the sky, shattering the white sound wave and hurtling towards Wang Qingling. As Wang Qingxiao tried to assist, the void above him rippled, and a miniature red mountain appeared, instantly growing larger and crashing down. Wang Qingling, with a gentle flap of the red bird wings on her back, vanished from her spot, causing the blue giant club's attack to miss.
