Fifty thousand years passed in a flash.
On Dongli Island, a vast bluestone square featured a massive bluestone platform at its center. The platform’s surface was covered with intricate, mysterious runes, emitting powerful waves of restrictive energy.
A tall, slender young man in a green robe sat cross-legged on a green futon, his eyes slightly closed, his body enveloped in a faint green aura.
Moments later, the bluestone platform began to tremble slightly, and the runes on its surface glowed intensely.
The green aura around the young man’s body faded, and he opened his eyes.
A thick blue beam of light shot up from the platform. The young man in green quickly produced a glowing green formation disk, cast a spell into it, and a massive green light barrier instantly materialized, enveloping the bluestone platform.
As the blue light dispersed, it revealed a handsome young man dressed in a silver robe. He was tall with bright, piercing eyes, and his clothing bore a green lotus emblem.
“I am Wang Yunfeng. How may I address you?”
The young man in the green robe asked politely.
His mother belonged to the Li family, with whom the Wang family had a marriage alliance.
“I am Wang Xinghai. Is this the territory of the Green Lotus Wang Family?”
The young man in the silver robe inquired politely.
“Indeed. Are you a member of our clan?”
Wang Yunfeng asked.
Wang Xinghai’s face lit up with joy. “Yes,” he replied, “I originated from the Dongli Realm, ascended to the Xuanyang Realm, and cultivated diligently for many years. I finally reached the late Mahayana stage, successfully passed the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, and ascended to the Immortal Realm. Is the Old Ancestor doing well?”
“You ascended from the Dongli Realm?”
Wang Yunfeng was slightly surprised.
After annihilating the Murong and Qian families, the Wang family’s territory expanded significantly. They established thirty-six ascension platforms to continuously integrate new talent.
Over the years, several Wang family cultivators had ascended to the Immortal Realm, though most originated from the Xuanyang Realm. Clansmen who ascended from the Dongli Realm to the Xuanyang Realm and then further to the Immortal Realm were comparatively few.
“Precisely. May I have an audience with the family head of the Immortal Realm? I have important matters to report.”
Wang Xinghai stated.
“Certainly, please follow me!”
Wang Yunfeng agreed, then escorted Wang Xinghai from Dongli Island. They teleported to Qinglian Island and arrived at Wang Yongqian’s residence, where he sent a sound transmission talisman.
Soon after, Wang Yongqian’s voice resounded: “Yunfeng, bring him in.”
“Yes, Family Head.”
Wang Yunfeng assented and led Wang Xinghai inside.
They entered a secluded courtyard where Wang Yongqian and Wang Moxian were seated in a blue stone pavilion.
Following the obliteration of the Murong and Qian families, the Wang family’s prosperity had significantly improved. In the Tianchen Sea Region, only three market cities remained, with the Wang family claiming the majority of profits, while other factions received a smaller share.
Other factions supplied the Wang family with raw materials such as immortal wood, immortal herbs, immortal water, and immortal ores. The Wang family then refined these into immortal artifacts, elixirs, talismans, and various other cultivation resources, which they sold. A proportion of the profits was then distributed to the factions that provided the raw materials.
The Wang family’s purchasing prices were slightly higher than market rates. However, suppliers were not obliged to sell to the Wang family and were free to transport their goods elsewhere for sale, as the Wang family never forced transactions. The profits from these particular ventures constituted only a minor portion of the family’s overall income. Their primary revenue streams were Chaos Armor, Immortal Exterminator Cannons, Immortal Exterminator Arrows, and Immortal Puppets.
Rare items, such as the Green Lotus Spirit Transformation Pill and the Six-Color Immortal Brew, were exclusively exchanged with the Wang family’s allied factions and were very rarely sold.
As the head of the Commerce Hall, Wang Moxian frequently led the family’s merchant caravans on extensive trade expeditions to other sea regions. His travels across various territories allowed him to meet numerous Golden Immortal cultivators and significantly broadened his experience.
“Family Head,” Wang Yunfeng reported, “this is Wang Xinghai. He ascended from the Dongli Realm and claims to have important matters to report to you in person.”
“Xinghai, you’ve finally ascended to the Immortal Realm.”
Wang Yongqian’s face lit up with delight.
At her words, both Wang Yunfeng and Wang Xinghai were stunned. From Wang Yongqian’s tone, it was clear she recognized Wang Xinghai.
Wang Xinghai, however, was utterly bewildered, as this was his first time meeting Wang Yongqian.
“When Xinghe ascended, he mentioned you to me.”
Wang Yongqian explained.
Wang Xinghai possessed the Star Constitution and cultivated the “Seven Stars True Scripture.” Wang Yongqian highly valued his unique physique.
In his early years, Wang Changsheng had acquired a cultivation method, the “Star Immortal Scripture,” which allowed one to comprehend the laws of stars. Given Wang Xinghai’s Star Constitution, he was the most suitable candidate to cultivate this scripture.
Naturally, some clan members were already cultivating the “Star Immortal Scripture,” hoping to comprehend the laws of stars through it. However, to date, none had yet succeeded in doing so with this method.
Wang Xinghai suddenly understood; Wang Xinghe had ascended ten millennia before him.
“Yunfeng, you’ve done very well. Please return to Dongli Island for now. Ensure Wang Xinghai’s presence remains a strict secret.”
Wang Yongqian gave the instruction, and Wang Yunfeng excused himself.
“Family Head, I shall attend to my duties now.”
Wang Moxian rose to take his leave. He needed to transport a consignment of cultivation resources to the Chiyang Sea Region and also negotiate business with the leaders of several merchant alliances.
“Family Head, I possess the Star Constitution.”
Wang Xinghai stated.
“I know,” Wang Yongqian replied. “Xinghe told me everything. The Old Ancestor will undoubtedly be very pleased if he learns of this.”
Wang Yongqian said with a smile, then produced a golden, shimmering Dharma disk. She cast a spell into it, and Wang Changsheng’s voice promptly sounded: “Yongqian, has the Myriad Immortal Continent opened yet?”
“Not yet, but it will be soon, Old Ancestor,” Wang Yongqian reported. “A clan member possessing the Star Constitution has ascended to the Immortal Realm. He is currently with me. Would you like to meet him?”
“What? The Star Constitution!”
Wang Changsheng’s voice conveyed a hint of surprise as he commanded: “Bring him here immediately!”
“Yes, Old Ancestor.”
Wang Yongqian assented, put away the golden Dharma disk, and looked at Wang Xinghai. “Come, follow me to meet the Old Ancestor,” she said. “You’re quite fortunate; you’ve just ascended and already get to meet the Old Ancestor fresh out of seclusion.”
As the number of Wang family cultivators continued to grow, most clan members never had the opportunity to meet Wang Changsheng in person, having only seen his portrait.
With so many clan members, only those who were particularly outstanding or had made significant contributions were granted an audience with Wang Changsheng.
Wang Xinghai’s expression was one of profound excitement. Even in the lower realms, he had heard tales of Wang Changsheng’s legendary deeds. After cultivating for many years, he was finally about to meet his esteemed Old Ancestor.
Wang Xinghai followed Wang Yongqian to Qinglian Peak, where they found Wang Changsheng in a tranquil small courtyard.
Wang Changsheng sat within a blue stone pavilion, his aura noticeably more powerful than before.
“Congratulations, Old Ancestor, on reaching the Grand Completion stage of Golden Immortal,” Wang Yongqian exclaimed, overcome with joy at the powerful aura emanating from Wang Changsheng. “Today truly brings double blessings!”
“Your grandson, Wang Xinghai, pays his respects to the Old Ancestor.”
Wang Xinghai bowed deeply, his face alight with emotion.
“From which realm did you ascend?”
Wang Changsheng asked gently.
“Old Ancestor,” Wang Xinghai replied, his voice brimming with emotion, “your grandson originates from the Dongli Realm and grew up on Qinglian Mountain. After ascending to the Xuanyang Realm, I cultivated diligently until I finally ascended to the Immortal Realm and had the honor of meeting you.”
“The Dongli Realm! Qinglian Mountain!”
Wang Changsheng’s face showed a reminiscent expression. Qinglian Mountain was the ancestral home for all Wang clan members, and seeing Wang Xinghai stirred old memories within him.
“From now on, you shall reside on Qinglian Peak,” Wang Changsheng instructed. “I will personally guide your cultivation.”
He decided to meticulously nurture this promising new talent that had emerged within the family.
