Chapter 4056: Ephemeral Clan

The Profound Yin Sea Region is characterized by dense Yin energy and abounds in various Yin-attribute materials.

In the northwest of the Profound Yin Sea Region lies a desolate island enveloped in black Yin energy, where eerie winds howl and the wails of ghosts incessantly echo.

In the center of the desolate island, a massive blue light shot skyward, extremely conspicuous. From within this blue light, a black streak then flew out at high speed.

The black light hadn't flown far when a celestial sound, echoing through the clouds, rang out. The black light halted, revealing a hideous black fierce ghostly creature. It had a black horn on its head, its body was covered in blood, and its aura was weak. This was a Golden Immortal stage ghostly creature.

A blue sound wave swept over. The black fierce ghostly creature opened its gaping maw and spewed out a black sound wave to meet it.

The blue sound wave collided with the black sound wave, which instantly disintegrated. The blue sound wave then swept past the black fierce ghostly creature's body, sending it flying backward. It spat out a large mouthful of vital blood, and its face turned pale.

Before it could get back on its feet, the void hummed. A giant blue fist descended from the sky. Even before it landed, the void tore open, countless cracks appeared, the ground collapsed, and vegetation turned to dust.

The blue giant fist was incredibly fast, instantly appearing before the black fierce ghostly creature. With no way to evade, it moved its arms to meet the blue giant fist.

A horrific wail of a ghost rang out. The black fierce ghostly creature's fists shattered, and the blue giant fist smashed the black fierce ghostly creature into smithereens. The blue giant fist then landed on the ground, causing the entire island to shake violently, with numerous cracks appearing and dust rolling everywhere.

Two streaks of blue light flew from afar, landed, and revealed the figures of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

They had traveled to the Profound Yin Sea Region, where many cultivators raise ghostly creatures. Similar to the Sky Morning Sea Region, this region once had a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who perished in the Great Immortal Tribulation. Currently, there are no known Grand Unity Golden Immortals here.

Profound Yin Island was originally the headquarters of Profound Yin Sect, the largest sect in the Profound Yin Sea Region. After the death of its Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it quickly declined and was besieged by numerous forces, on the verge of destruction. Before his death, the Profound Yin Sect Master activated the sect's protective grand formation, eliminating many powerful enemies. However, Profound Yin Island also became a dangerous place in the Profound Yin Sea Region, with numerous ghostly creatures, including those at the Golden Immortal stage.

By chance, Ye Haitang learned from other True Immortal cultivators that Profound Yin Island had a ghostly creature called 'Wang'. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan personally went to Profound Yin Island and successfully captured a 'Wang'. Unexpectedly, they encountered a Golden Immortal stage ghostly creature. After a fierce battle, the Golden Immortal stage ghostly creature proved to be no match for them.

When the dust settled, a massive pit appeared on the ground.

With a single-hand gesture, Wang Changsheng had a black-glowing spherical bead fly out of the pit and land in his hand. It was the Yin Bead of the Golden Immortal stage ghostly creature, a great tonic for Wang Chan.

They had eliminated many True Immortal stage ghostly creatures and obtained many Yin Beads, which would be perfect for Wang Chan and Wang Chan to feast on.

"After Wang Chan devours this Golden Immortal stage ghostly creature, it can save years of arduous cultivation," Wang Ruyan said with a smile.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "We have secured the 'Wang'; it's time for us to leave."

Profound Yin Island has many powerful restrictions. The legacy of the Profound Yin Sect had long been obtained by another major force, so there was no need to delve deeper into Profound Yin Island.

They flew out of Profound Yin Island. Wang Ruyan then summoned a blue-glowing scroll, which emitted spatial fluctuations.

It was the East Li Diagram, a spatial Heavenly Treasure, where Ye Haitang and others were temporarily located.

She cast a spell, and the blue scroll glowed with dazzling blue light. The Azure Nether Boat flew out from it, with Ye Haitang, Wang Benyan, Wang Qingbai, and dozens of other clan members standing on its deck.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan flew onto the deck. Ye Haitang, her face full of anticipation, asked, "Uncle, have you found the 'Wang'?"

Wang Changsheng nodded, took out a black gourd, handed it to Ye Haitang, and said, "Yes, we found it. It's at the late True Immortal stage. You can subdue it once we reach the Ye Family; that way it will be more secure."

Ye Haitang agreed repeatedly and accepted the black gourd.

"We've been out for quite some time now," Wang Changsheng said. "Let's head to the Flowing Cloud Sea Region! The Golden Immortal Ceremony is about to begin." With a spell gesture, the Azure Nether Boat immediately glowed with dazzling blue light and flew swiftly into the distance.

After the Azure Nether Boat had flown tens of thousands of miles, a massive crimson mushroom cloud lit up in the high sky.

Wang Changsheng's brow furrowed. With a spell gesture, the Azure Nether Boat stopped.

Wang Tun Tian's eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light as he looked forward.

"A group of cultivators is chasing a ghostly creature. Huh, they are from the Ephemeral Race!" Wang Tun Tian exclaimed softly.

"The Ephemeral Race!" Wang Qingbai said. "This race has a Grand Unity Golden Immortal overseeing it, and their relationship with humans is quite good." They had traveled through multiple sea regions and gathered intelligence on many forces.

A streak of blue light flew out from the crimson mushroom cloud, heading straight for Wang Changsheng and his group.

"Fellow Daoists ahead, I am Cang Feng of the Ephemeral Race," a deep male voice rang out from the sky. "Please help me stop this ghostly creature; it possesses soul attacks."

"It possesses soul attacks! That's quite rare!" Wang Changsheng remarked.

Wang Ruyan summoned the East Li Diagram, drawing Ye Haitang and the others into it.

An extremely shrill ghost wail rang out, but Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan felt no discomfort.

Wang Changsheng's right fist surged with dazzling blue light. He threw a punch, and a blue fist shadow flew out, heading straight for the blue light. At the same time, a celestial sound, echoing through heaven and earth, rang out.

The blue light halted high in the sky, revealing a ghostly creature with a green face, tusks, and a pair of black ox horns on its head. It had a pair of blue bat wings on its back, and its body was covered in blood.

The blue giant fist slammed into the ghostly creature's body. The ghostly creature flew backward, spitting out a large mouthful of vital blood.

Wang Changsheng did not use the Fusion Aperture Art; otherwise, he would have instantly destroyed it.

A golden glow descended from the sky, enveloped the ghostly creature, and drew it into a giant golden pagoda.

A golden-glowing flying boat flew from afar. A team of cultivators stood on its deck, led by a burly old man in golden robes and a graceful young woman in a black dress. These cultivators were slightly smaller in build than humans, with small noses and ears, and their bodies were marked with spiral spirit patterns. These were the Ephemeral Race!

"I am Cang Feng, and this is my wife, Yuan Yue," the old man in golden robes said, clasping his fists. "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your assistance. This is a small token of our appreciation, please accept it." With a raise of his right hand, a golden jade box flew towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng caught the golden jade box, opened it, and saw a seven-colored spiritual mushroom inside, over a million years old. "I am Wang Changsheng, and this is my wife, Wang Ruyan. It is a pleasure to meet you, Fellow Daoist Cang." Wang Changsheng introduced himself.

"Are you Daoist Master Taihao?" Cang Feng asked curiously.

"Indeed. Do you know me, Fellow Daoist Cang?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"I heard Immortal Ye mention you, Fellow Daoist Wang," Cang Feng asked with a smile. "Are you also going to attend Fellow Daoist Ye's Golden Immortal Ceremony?"

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Precisely."

"If Fellow Daoist Wang doesn't mind, let us travel together!" Cang Feng said enthusiastically.

Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment, then agreed.

Cang Feng cast a spell, and the golden flying boat flew into the distance.

Wang Ruyan cast a spell into the East Li Diagram, and Ye Haitang and the others flew out.

Wang Changsheng cast a spell, and the Azure Nether Boat glowed with blue light, following them.
