Chapter 4131: Ten Thousand Years (Gone Today)

One hundred thousand years passed. On Dongli Island in the Tianchen Sea Domain.

Wang Changming stood atop a high peak, gazing at the three-colored thunderclouds in the sky.

The Wang family now controlled four Profound Cities and sixteen Yellow Cities. Their development was thriving, driven by the sales of Immortal Slayer Cannons, Chaos Armor, and Immortal Slayer Arrows, which also boosted other commodities. The number of Golden Immortal cultivators in the clan steadily grew, with Wang Lihe, Wang Huayue, Wang Qiulin, Wang Qiuting, Wang Zongyun, Wang Jiye, Wang Yuyu, Su Hongshang, Lin Yiming, Wang Ruyi, and Wang Yulan all having advanced to the Golden Immortal stage. Wang Yongqian was currently attempting to reach the Golden Immortal stage, and Wang Yong'an had already successfully done so.

A rumbling sound of thunder echoed as bolts of three-colored immortal lightning struck down successively, plunging into a small, three-sided mountain-enclosed valley. The dazzling three-colored lightning engulfed the entire valley.

A moment later, the three-colored thunderclouds violently churned, transforming into a colossal three-colored lightning python that swooped down from high above. A thick golden light shot out from the three-colored lightning, streaking directly towards the lightning python.

The golden light collided with the three-colored lightning python. The python let out an agonizing shriek, its body trembled, and then it burst apart, transforming into a colossal three-colored blazing sun that enveloped the entire valley. The nearby ground shook violently, and dust billowed. Before the dust could fully settle, Wang Yongqian emerged from the lightning, landing before Wang Changming.

Her face was pale, and her aura was vast like the ocean. She had successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal stage.

While her understanding of the Laws was merely foundational, with ample cultivation resources, activating the thirty-six immortal orifices was not a challenge for her.

"Congratulations, Family Head, on reaching the Golden Immortal stage!" Wang Changming was overjoyed and congratulated Wang Yongqian.

"How is the clan?" Wang Yongqian asked.

"Everything is well and prospering," Wang Changming said proudly.

The Vast Moon Alliance, Beast Spirit Gate, Lin Family, and Azure Cloud Palace had suffered considerable losses of Golden Immortal cultivators on the Chaos Continent, causing their territories in the Tianchen Sea Domain to shrink further. Meanwhile, the Wang and Murong families expanded once more. It was evident to any discerning observer that the eventual ruler of the Tianchen Sea Domain would arise from either the Wang or Murong family.

"How is the Murong family? Have they been up to any tricks?" Wang Yongqian asked.

"No, the Murong family has gained five more Golden Immortal cultivators in recent years, and that's just the publicly known number; the actual count is definitely higher," Wang Changming replied.

The Murong family possessed substantial reserves and a deeper foundation than the Wang family. After many years of recuperation, their number of Golden Immortal cultivators had steadily increased.

Both the Murong and Wang families clearly understood that a conflict between them was inevitable, merely a matter of time. Ostensibly, the two families had not engaged in direct confrontations, and their affiliated forces also maintained restraint, avoiding open conflict.

The Xia family finally produced a Golden Immortal cultivator, Xia Yunhong, whose cultivation partner, Wang Yunwu, was from the Wang family.

The Qi family also gained two Golden Immortal cultivators. The Nine Immortals Sect, Snow Crystal Clan, and Hundred Refinement Island each welcomed several more Golden Immortal cultivators, but their influence was now much diminished compared to the past.

"Is Moxin in the Tianchen Sea Domain?" Wang Yongqian asked.

"No, he's taken a merchant fleet out to acquire cultivation resources. He plans to transport a batch of them to the Chaos Continent," Wang Changming replied.

Wang Moxin had already advanced to the Golden Immortal stage and was leading the family's merchant fleet, traveling around to acquire cultivation resources.

"Family Head, you've just entered the Golden Immortal stage; you should rest and recuperate first!" Wang Changming suggested.

Wang Yongqian nodded, then left Dongli Island with Wang Changming and returned to Qinglian Island.

In the Blood Cloud Sea Domain, the seawater was blood-red, and even the clouds in the sky shared the same crimson hue.

A huge dragon boat, gleaming with blue light, flew from a distance at high speed.

Wang Moxin and others stood on the deck, their expressions varied. The Wang family's strength was growing steadily. Thanks to their mid-grade Chaos Armor and mid-grade Immortal Slayer Cannons, many forces sought alliances with them, conducting business and exchanging resources. The Wang family's influence now spanned nine sea domains, significantly boosting their ability to acquire cultivation resources. Notably, the entire Beihai Immortal Realm comprised only sixty sea domains.

A golden light flew towards them, approaching rapidly.

Wang Moxin formed a hand seal, bringing the blue dragon boat to a halt. The Wang family cultivators' faces were etched with vigilance.

Many rogue cultivators committed murder for treasure. Not only had the Wang family's merchant fleets faced attacks, but even the Cao family's had.

Soon after, the golden light ceased, revealing a gleaming golden flying boat. A team of cultivators stood on its deck, led by a tall, golden-robed elder with a round face and small eyes.

"Daoist Murong, it's you! What a coincidence!" Wang Moxin said with a smile.

The golden-robed elder was named Murong Jinxin, the head of the Murong family's Trade Hall, and an early-stage Golden Immortal.

The Murong family's influence also extended across numerous sea domains, and Murong Jinxin was leading their merchant fleet to gather cultivation resources.

Murong Jinxin smiled slightly and said, "What a coincidence! Daoist Wang, you've come all the way to the Blood Cloud Sea Domain. I hope you haven't encountered any trouble along the way!"

"Not yet, but it's hard to say what the future holds," Wang Moxin replied.

"Haha, Daoist Wang, it's best to be careful. The Beihai Immortal Realm isn't entirely peaceful. There are many evil cultivators who kill for treasure, and encountering them can be troublesome." Murong Jinxin said meaningfully.

"In the Blood Cloud Sea Domain, anyone who dares to target the Wang family, our Blood Vine Clan will be the first to not spare them."

An incredibly cold female voice echoed from the sky. As it faded, a blood-red streak of light flew from afar, stopping with a flash to reveal a blood-gleaming flying shuttle. A graceful young woman in a purple dress stood upon it, her eyes blood-red, and her body adorned with crimson and azure patterns — she was clearly from the Blood Vine Clan.

The Blood Vine Clan was one of the top forces in the Blood Cloud Sea Domain, and they had grown very close to the Wang family in recent years.

The Blood Vine Clan cultivated numerous immortal herbs and fruits that replenished blood vitality, essential for refining healing elixirs. The Wang family regularly traded other cultivation resources for these items, establishing a mutually beneficial relationship. When Murong Jinxin saw the young woman in the purple dress, a flicker of apprehension crossed his eyes.

"Lady Xue, you've misunderstood; I bear no ill will," Murong Jinxin said politely.

"It's best if you have no ill will. If there's nothing else, Daoist Murong, you should leave soon! It would be bad if you encountered any evil cultivators." The young woman in the purple dress said coldly.

The Murong family had close ties with the Yin Moxa Clan, the Blood Vine Clan's adversaries. Naturally, the Blood Vine Clan cultivators harbored no politeness towards Murong Jinxin; had they not been wary of the Murong family's strength, they would have already dealt with him.

Murong Jinxin dared not linger. He formed a hand seal, and the golden flying boat glowed with a dazzling golden light, then shot away through the air.

"Hmph, they truly believe the Blood Cloud Sea Domain is the Tianchen Sea Domain." The young woman in the purple dress snorted coldly. She then turned to Wang Moxin, a sincere smile gracing her face as if she were an entirely different person. "Daoist Wang, you're finally here. Our clan leader has been waiting for quite some time. Please, follow me." The young woman in the purple dress said courteously.

"Then I'll trouble Lady Xue to lead the way," Wang Moxin said with a smile.

The young woman in the purple dress formed a hand seal, and the blood-red flying shuttle flew back the way it came. Wang Moxin quickly maneuvered the blue dragon boat to follow.
