Chapter 4073: Seven-Colored Chaotic Beast (Gone for Today)

In a cerulean sea, the sky was cloudless, and a gentle sea breeze was blowing.

A giant ship, shimmering with green light, flew overhead at a leisurely pace.

Wang Tunian, Wang Yang, Wang Lin, Xuanyue, Wang Huanyu, and others stood on the deck, while Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat beside a cyan tea table, sipping tea and chatting idly.

After leaving Chiyang Market, they returned to Tianchen Sea to inform Wang Yongqian that they were going out to seek opportunities and asked her to send someone to notify Wang Qingshan and others.

In Tianchen Sea, there were Wang Qingling, Wang Qingcheng, Wang Qingxiao, and Wang Qingbai, four Golden Immortals, along with multiple mid-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons and two mid-grade Immortal-Slaying Arrows. On the Chaos Continent, there were Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingfeng, Ye Haitang, Wang Yingjie, Liu Hongxue, Wang Mengbin, and Wang Yidao, seven Golden Immortals, as well as the Qi Family and Zhang Family, two allies, along with multiple mid-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons and Golden Immortal-level puppet beasts.

The Wang family's strength was considerable, allowing them to travel with peace of mind.

They searched for the place mentioned by Elder Jinlin in Beihai Immortal Realm and found two locations: Nine Star Island and Nine Star Fortress. Unfortunately, both places were gathering points for Mahayana cultivators, where even True Immortal cultivators were rare. They used every means available but found no ancient cultivator's abode, and after residing in these two places for several decades, they gained nothing.

Since they didn't know the exact location of the opportunity and simply waiting endlessly was not a solution, after much thought, Wang Changsheng decided to visit Nine Star Immortal Realm.

Nine Star Immortal Realm fit the description given by Elder Jinlin. Assuming Wang Ruyan's opportunity was in Nine Star Immortal Realm, it was likely on an island with lush vegetation. Honestly, this made the scope even wider, as there were countless desolate islands with lush vegetation in the immortal world. They had no other choice but to investigate them one by one and try their luck.

Tianchen Sea was not adjacent to Nine Star Immortal Realm. Even with the flight speed of Golden Immortal cultivators, it might take tens of thousands of years to reach Nine Star Immortal Realm. Fortunately, some large sea regions had cross-sea teleportation formations, such as Liuyun Sea, Chiyang Sea, and Tianhuo Sea.

Wang Changsheng traveled to Chiyang Sea, spent a huge sum, and took the Cao family's cross-sea teleportation formation to Tianhuo Sea. He then changed to other cross-sea teleportation formations and finally reached Qixing Sea, the closest sea region to Nine Star Immortal Realm. They were currently at the border between Beihai Immortal Realm and Nine Star Immortal Realm.

Beihai Immortal Realm was adjacent to Nine Star Immortal Realm. To travel from Qixing Sea to Nine Star Immortal Realm, they needed to pass through a large expanse of sea.

According to Shangguan Yiming's introduction, high-level Chaos Beasts would appear at the border. Fortunately, they had not yet encountered any Chaos Beasts. Wang Tunian's eyes shimmered with a dazzling yellow light as he surveyed the situation ahead.

Wang Yang was responsible for recording what Wang Tunian saw to facilitate their investigation.

Wang Tunian walked over and said, "Master, there is a desolate island with lush vegetation ahead. There are no cultivators or True Immortal-level demonic beasts on the island."

"Since a suspicious target has been found, let's investigate it!"

Wang Changsheng said, and with a hand seal, the Azure Nether Skiff immediately glowed brightly with green light and accelerated its flight speed.

Not long after, the Azure Nether Skiff stopped above a desolate island spanning a thousand li. The island had an eighth-tier spirit vein and lush vegetation.

Wang Huanyu and others disembarked to investigate, while Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan remained on the Azure Nether Skiff. Along the way, they had encountered far too many desolate islands; if they had to investigate every single one, they wouldn't have enough time.

After more than half a day, Wang Tunian and the others returned, their faces full of dejection.

"We didn't find any ancient cultivator's abode, nor any grotto-heavens or secret realms," Wang Tunian reported.

"If nothing was found, let's continue our journey!" Wang Changsheng said. "We'll search slowly and consider it a journey."

The great opportunity divined by Wang Qiulin was the meditation abode of a Golden Immortal cultivator. However, they had no way of knowing what great opportunity Elder Jinlin had divined, so they could only search everywhere.

The Azure Nether Skiff flew forward, stopping whenever it encountered a desolate island with lush vegetation. Wang Tunian and others disembarked to investigate. While they found no ancient cultivator's abode, grotto-heavens, or secret realms, they were not entirely without gains. Sometimes they obtained immortal medicines hundreds of thousands of years old, or discovered immortal trees hundreds of thousands of years old.

Thirty days later, the Azure Nether Skiff appeared above a black sea region where the seawater was black. They had proceeded in fits and starts, losing a good deal of time.

Wang Changsheng did not want to miss any clue, so their speed was naturally not fast. The sun was setting, and the lingering glow of the evening clouds spilled onto the sea, making the waves sparkle.

"Master, two individuals are approaching from the southwest direction; their cultivation level is unknown," Wang Tunian said.

Wang Changsheng made a hand seal, and the Azure Nether Skiff stopped. He fully extended his divine sense to probe the southwest direction.

Not long after, two powerful auras appeared within the range of Wang Changsheng's divine sense. "They are Golden Immortal cultivators! One late-stage Golden Immortal, one mid-stage Golden Immortal."

Wang Changsheng frowned. Encountering other Golden Immortal cultivators in a desolate place was not a good sign. "I hope they don't have any malicious intentions! Otherwise, they'll regret it," Wang Ruyan said coldly.

Not long after, a golden rainbow flew from the southwest. It flashed and stopped, revealing a golden, shimmering flying shuttle. Standing on the golden flying shuttle were a stout, red-robed elder and a voluptuous young woman in a white dress.

"I am Huoyaozi," the red-robed elder said, clasping his fists with a resonant voice. "Are fellow Daoists heading to Nine Star Immortal Realm?"

"Precisely," Wang Changsheng nodded.

"Are you interested in traveling together? It would be good to have someone to look out for each other," Huoyaozi said.

"Thank you for your kind offer, fellow Daoist, but we have matters to attend to, so it's inconvenient for us to travel together," Wang Changsheng tactfully declined.

"Both of you are only mid-stage Golden Immortals; you shouldn't be so arrogant. It would be better if everyone traveled together and looked out for each other," the young woman in the white dress frowned and said.

"No need, we don't require any looking after."

Wang Changsheng remained unmoved.

The young woman in the white dress furrowed her slender eyebrows. Her gaze fell on Wang Yang and the others, and a hint of apprehension flashed in her eyes.

The other party had so many True Immortal-level spirit beasts and traveled using a mid-grade flying immortal artifact; they were certainly not ordinary people. Perhaps they came from a major power and possessed many trump cards. If they really came to blows, they might not be guaranteed victory.

"Since that's the case, we won't insist. We'll take our leave."

Huoyaozi did not insist either. With a hand seal, the golden flying shuttle immediately glowed brightly with golden light and flew into the distance. Wang Changsheng made a hand seal, and the Azure Nether Skiff flew in another direction, deviating from the path of Huoyaozi and the woman.

Six months later, the Azure Nether Skiff appeared above a desolate island spanning several thousand li. The island had lush vegetation; a single glance revealed a verdant landscape. Wang Tunian and others disembarked to investigate, while Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan remained on the Azure Nether Skiff.

"I wonder where the great opportunity truly is," Wang Ruyan said. "I hope it's truly a great opportunity, so this trip won't be in vain."

Wang Changsheng was about to say something when a deafening roar echoed, and a massive cluster of crimson firelight shot into the sky. Wang Changsheng frowned and fully extended his divine sense; his divine sense detected a familiar aura flying towards them.

"It's Huoyaozi; he seems to have encountered a powerful enemy."

Wang Changsheng flipped his right hand, and a blue-shimmering spherical bead appeared. After injecting immortal power into it, the blue bead immediately glowed brightly with blue light. "A Seven-Colored Chaos Beast!" Wang Changsheng frowned and said, "Huoyaozi was killed by it! This is bad, it's heading this way!"

Wang Ruyan quickly took out her immortal communication mirror and contacted Wang Tunian and the others, telling them to return first.

A seven-colored Chaos Beast, resembling a flood dragon, flew from a distance. Unlike a flood dragon, this seven-colored Chaos Beast had a pair of enormous fleshy wings on its back.
