Chapter 4064: Great Opportunity

Fifty thousand years had passed. On the Chaos Continent, in Xuan Yu City, the streets were bustling with crowds, and vendors' calls echoed through the air.

In a secluded manor, Wang Yingjie, Ye Haitang, Qi Shuting, Madam Yuzhu, and Zhang Yilei were seated in a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

After returning to Qinglian Island, Ye Haitang entered seclusion to break through to the Golden Immortal stage. After more than three thousand years, she attracted auspicious signs, successfully endured the lightning tribulation, and advanced to the Golden Immortal stage.

Wang Yingjie had already cultivated the Five Elements Heaven-Escaping Art to mastery. Without consuming a Dao Comprehension Fruit, he would at most have only achieved an introductory level in the Five Elements Heaven-Escaping Art.

After Ye Haitang advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, she traveled to the Chaos Continent with Wang Yingjie and Liu Hongxue, where they successfully opened their sixth aperture with the aid of array formations.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingling, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Qingbai, and Wang Qingcheng were all in seclusion, remaining in the Heavenly Morning Sea Territory.

Madam Yuzhu had already joined the Qi family and was serving them. Both the Qi family and the Zhang family had developed significantly, each publicly gaining an additional Golden Immortal cultivator. However, only they truly knew the exact number of Golden Immortal cultivators they possessed.

“Fellow Daoist Wang,” Zhang Yilei politely began, “I heard that your family has a True Immortal cultivator who is skilled in divination. Would it be possible for him to perform a divination for one of my descendants?”

Wang Qiulin had also arrived on the Chaos Continent, and with his superb divination skills, he quickly made a name for himself, his reputation even reaching Golden Immortal cultivators.

“Fellow Daoist Zhang, you must be referring to Ancestor Qiulin,” Wang Yingjie tactfully replied. “I cannot make this decision. If your descendant wishes to request Qiulin's help with divination, Qiulin himself must be willing.” Even Chen Yueying, Yang Chunqiu, Ni Tianlong, Yue Lei, and other prominent figures, if they wished for Wang Qiulin to perform divination, would not only have to expend a large amount of merit points but also require Wang Qiulin's consent. As Wang Changsheng's grandson, if Wang Qiulin was unwilling, no one could force him.

Zhang Yilei looked somewhat disappointed. “Alright,” he said, “I will have Yu Xin contact Young Friend Wang.”

“By the way,” Ye Haitang interjected, “I heard that True Monarch Yuchan has pledged allegiance to the Murong family. Is this true?” It was not easy for various factions to recruit a Golden Immortal cultivator. True Monarch Yuchan possessed late-stage Golden Immortal cultivation, and many factions in the Heavenly Morning Sea Territory were eager to win him over.

Qi Shuting nodded. “It is true!” he affirmed. “He has publicly admitted joining the Murong family. He probably values Immortal Luoshui’s divination abilities. If Young Friend Wang matures, he will certainly not be inferior to Immortal Luoshui.” Immortal Luoshui had been famous for many years; her divinations were highly accurate, and she was revered by many Golden Immortal cultivators. Wang Qiulin, being only a True Immortal cultivator, did not yet possess the same fame or abilities as Immortal Luoshui.

“Indeed,” Zhang Yilei agreed, a hint of envy on his face. “If Young Friend Wang advances to the Golden Immortal stage, it will certainly be easier for the Wang family to recruit Golden Immortal guest cultivators.”

“With the Green Lotus Immortal Couple, Green Lotus Sword Master, True Immortal Zixiao, and True Monarch Badao present,” Qi Shuting said, “even if Young Friend Wang doesn't advance to the Golden Immortal stage, there will certainly be Golden Immortal cultivators eager to join the Wang family.” He added that the Wang family's strength had grown rapidly, with multiple powerful Golden Immortal cultivators emerging.

“Indeed!” Zhang Yilei exclaimed admiringly. “Fellow Daoist Wang’s son is skilled in artifact refining and is already capable of crafting Golden Immortal-stage puppet beasts. Truly, a tiger father produces no dog sons.”

After Wang Qingfeng advanced to the Golden Immortal stage, he successfully opened his sixth aperture with the aid of array formations. He also became capable of independently crafting Golden Immortal-stage puppet beasts with a success rate of thirty percent. His reputation spread, and many Golden Immortal cultivators sought his help in crafting mid-grade immortal artifacts. Wang Qingfeng acquired a significant amount of cultivation resources due to his exquisite artifact refining skills.

“By the way, Fellow Daoist Wang,” Qi Shuting suddenly asked, “what is your wife busy with? Why didn't she come?”

“My wife recently entered seclusion,” Wang Yingjie replied. “I don’t know how long it will be until she comes out.”

Wang Changsheng had acquired the crystal core of a mutated six-colored chaos beast on Flowing Cloud Island. After purifying it using the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron, he gave it to Wang Yongqian, who then passed it to Liu Hongxue to refine the Seven-Star Golden Radiance Pill. Liu Hongxue successfully refined the Seven-Star Golden Radiance Pill and gave it to Wang family members to consume. As a result, Wang Lihe, Wang Huayue, Dong Xueli, Wang Qiuting, Bai Ling'er, and Wang Benyan successfully cultivated into true spirits.

Wang Qingshan, Wang Mengbin, Liu Hongxue, and Wang Yidao were currently in seclusion cultivating. Wang Qingfeng, invited by Cao Yuanxing, had gone to Xuanmu City to attend a gathering of immortal artifact masters and had not yet returned.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Qi Shuting and the other two took their leave.

“Yingjie,” Ye Haitang said, “I plan to enter seclusion for cultivation. The affairs of Xuan Yu City will temporarily be entrusted to you.”

Just as Wang Yingjie was about to reply, he took out a glowing communication disc, cast a spell into it, and Wang Huayue’s voice sounded: “Father, Ancestor Qiulin has made a significant discovery and needs to report to you.”

“Bring Ancestor Qiulin over!” Wang Yingjie instructed. He put away the communication disc and said to Ye Haitang, “Ancestor Haitang, please wait a moment; something might have come up.” Ye Haitang nodded in agreement.

Not long after, Wang Huayue, Wang Qiulin, and Yang Chunqiu entered the pavilion.

“Yingjie,” Wang Qiulin solemnly stated, “I performed a divination for Fellow Daoist Yang. He has a great fortuitous encounter, and it’s related to a place name containing ‘Hulan’.” Yang Chunqiu had resided on the Chaos Continent for many years, accumulating a substantial amount of merit points. He had requested Wang Qiulin’s assistance with divination, and Wang Qiulin divined that Yang Chunqiu was destined for a great fortuitous encounter. He had previously divined for many True Immortal cultivators, but those were all minor encounters. This was the first time he had divined a great fortuitous encounter, which was exceptionally rare.

“A great fortuitous encounter!” Wang Yingjie mused, “Related to a place name containing ‘Hulan’? It couldn’t be the Hulan Mountain Range, could it?!” Chaos beasts of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage had appeared in the Hulan Mountain Range, along with mutated chaos beasts. It would be very dangerous for them to venture there.

“Most likely it is,” Wang Qiulin said. “We’ll only know for sure if we take him to search.”

“If we don’t go, will that great fortuitous encounter remain there indefinitely?” Ye Haitang asked curiously.

“Of course not!” Wang Qiulin explained. “Fortuitous encounters are not exclusive. Perhaps other cultivators share the same opportunity; it simply depends on who obtains it first.”

“A great fortuitous encounter!” Wang Yingjie mused. “Never mind, let’s contact Ancestor Qingshan, report to him, and see what he says.” Both he and Ye Haitang were true spirits, but the chaos beasts in the Hulan Mountain Range were not to be trifled with. It would be better if Wang Qingshan or Wang Mengbin accompanied them.

Wang Yingjie and Ye Haitang went to Wang Qingshan’s residence and sent a sound transmission talisman. After a while, Wang Qingshan emerged, his expression solemn.

“Qiulin has divined many times, and this is the only time he has uncovered a great fortuitous encounter,” Wang Qingshan stated. “We must take it seriously. Let the three of us take Yang Chunqiu and make this trip.” This was Yang Chunqiu’s fortuitous encounter. By bringing him to the Hulan Mountain Range, they would have a greater chance of discovering the great opportunity. As for whether they could obtain it, that was hard to say, as no one knew what the great fortuitous encounter entailed.
