Chapter 4216: Tribe Members Gathering

More than a century had passed in the blink of an eye.

At the Azure Lotus Courtyard, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in a bamboo pavilion, listening to Wang Xiukun's report. Wang Changsheng had already refined the Flying Needle Immortal Artifact for the Carefree Demon Lord, who had since re-entered the Myriad Immortals Continent.

“Not long ago, Fairy Qiankun emerged from the Myriad Immortals Continent,” Wang Xiukun reported. “Seven of them entered, but only she returned. The other six are still missing, their fates unknown.”

The restrictions on the Myriad Immortals Continent had not yet officially weakened, but many immortals had already entered to seek treasures. Some were pathfinders, others hoped to gain an early advantage. However, news had spread that many of those who ventured in early had perished, their soul lamps extinguished. Despite this, many immortals still entered the Myriad Immortals Continent ahead of schedule, solely to advance further on their immortal path. Most, however, met with failure, and Fairy Qiankun and her six companions were clearly among them.

“It seems her companions are most likely dead,” Wang Ruyan analyzed. They had encountered Fairy Qiankun before, noting her cultivation at the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

Wang Xiukun produced a green, shimmering dharma plate, cast a spell into it, and his face lit up with joy. “Ancestors, Ancestor Qingshan and the others have arrived; they’re at the entrance,” he announced, then hurried to the courtyard gate. He opened it to welcome Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingbai, Bai Linger, Xiahou Yao, Wang Qingfeng, Dong Xueli, Ye Haitang, Chen Yueying, Ni Tianlong, Lan Fukong, Li Qinghuan, Gongsun Yang, the Four Seasons Sword Venerable, Ci Lei, and others.

Wang Changsheng had sent word to Wang Qingshan and the others long ago, but an unusual situation with the Chaos Beasts had kept them from leaving, otherwise they would have arrived sooner.

“Qingshan, are the Chaos Beasts no longer acting unusually?” Wang Changsheng asked.

“Not anymore,” Wang Qingshan explained. “We were delayed for a while, otherwise we would have been here much earlier.”

Ni Tianlong, Chen Yueying, Lan Fukong, and the others were currently at the Mid Golden Immortal stage. They also intended to enter the Myriad Immortals Continent to seek treasures, believing that if they missed this opportunity, they might not get another.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, you’ve reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal realm!” Ni Tianlong exclaimed, sensing Wang Changsheng’s powerful spiritual pressure. “Just one more step, and you’ll be a Grand Unity Golden Immortal! Congratulations!”

“Hehe, I’ll call you Senior Wang now,” Lan Fukong chuckled, flattering him. “I always knew you two would reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage and sweep away all the Chaos Beasts there.”

“Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist Lan,” Wang Changsheng replied with a smile.

Wang Ruyan took out several jade slips and distributed them to Chen Yueying and the others. “These contain the intelligence we’ve gathered about the Myriad Immortals Continent, along with some maps,” she explained. “We hope they prove useful. As for whether you find opportunities, that will be up to each of you.”

“Fellow Daoist Wang helped me with a divination,” Ni Tianlong said proudly. “He said I have a great opportunity awaiting me, so I should definitely gain something.” Before arriving at the Thousand Spirits Sea Region, he had asked Wang Qiulin to perform a divination regarding his fortune, and the results indicated a significant opportunity for him.

“I also have an opportunity,” Chen Yueying said with a smile, “though I don’t know what kind it is.”

Lan Fukong, the Four Seasons Sword Venerable, Gongsun Yang, and other cultivators with different surnames looked on with envy. They too had asked Wang Qiulin for divinations, which unfortunately showed no opportunities for them. Nevertheless, they still intended to venture into the Myriad Immortals Continent, reasoning that a divination was only a temporary snapshot and not a permanent decree. The results of a divination regarding an immortal’s opportunities could also vary depending on when the diviner performed it.

“Since you’ve just arrived at the Thousand Spirits Sea Region, it would be best to rest for a while first,” Wang Changsheng advised. “Wait until the restrictions officially enter their weakened period before venturing into the Myriad Immortals Continent. Currently, many immortals who went in early have suffered heavy casualties, and quite a few have gone missing.”

Wang Qingshan and the others agreed. Wang Xiukun then led them away to arrange their accommodations.

“I hope this treasure hunt goes smoothly for them,” Wang Ruyan murmured.

Wang Qingfeng and his group had only achieved minor mastery of laws. The Myriad Immortals Continent was teeming with Golden Immortal cultivators, many of whom had perfected their laws or mastered combined attack techniques.

“Everyone has their own destiny,” Wang Changsheng said, a look of longing on his face. “I just hope we can find something to aid our breakthrough to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.”

A vast, boundless continent lay surrounded by an equally vast ocean. Sea breezes swept across, causing the waves to surge and roll. A colossal blue clam shell surfaced from the depths, its halves slowly parting to reveal Murong Tianming and Fairy Luoshui. Both were Late Golden Immortals, on their way to seek treasures in the Myriad Immortals Continent.

The Myriad Immortals Continent was rumored to hold countless treasures: high-grade immortal artifacts, second-grade Dao pills, and even immortal medicines and pills capable of aiding breakthroughs to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm had been acquired there. This promise fueled countless immortals to continuously venture into the continent in search of fortune. They harbored desires for revenge, but to achieve it, they first needed to reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. Currently, they were no match for the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple.

“I hope everything goes smoothly,” Fairy Luoshui murmured to herself, her expression grave.

“Fellow Daoist He entered the Myriad Immortals Continent through this very entrance,” Murong Tianming said, a look of longing on his face. “However, he was only at the True Immortal stage back then, so he couldn’t obtain anything particularly valuable. If we’re careful, there shouldn’t be much danger. I hope we can find immortal medicines or pills to help us break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage!” They had unexpectedly learned that a Golden Immortal cultivator had previously entered the Myriad Immortals Continent. Collaborating, they had eliminated this individual and, through soul-searching, acquired knowledge of their route into the continent. The Thousand Spirits Sea Region had become a gathering point for too many formidable cultivators, with multiple Grand Unity Golden Immortals present. They dared not use the entrance from the Thousand Spirits Sea Region to enter the Myriad Immortals Continent.

Fairy Luoshui put away the blue clam shell. She then conjured a shimmering blue orb and cast a spell into it. The orb soared into the sky, emitting a dazzling blue light as it flew towards the Myriad Immortals Continent. Fairy Luoshui and Murong Tianming followed closely behind. Before long, they appeared on the Myriad Immortals Continent, stepping into a vast, endless azure bamboo forest.

Half a year swiftly passed.

At the Hundred Spirits Market, within the Azure Lotus Courtyard, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in the bamboo pavilion, engaged in conversation. Wang Ruyan produced a blue, shimmering communication disc and cast a spell into it. Wang Xiukun’s excited voice immediately rang out: “Ancestors, the restrictions on the Myriad Immortals Continent have officially entered their weakened period! A massive number of immortals are now entering the continent.”

“Understood,” Wang Ruyan instructed. “Notify Qingshan and the others to gather at the market entrance.”

“Yes, Ancestor,” Wang Xiukun replied.

Wang Ruyan put away the blue communication disc. “Husband,” she said, “let us depart!”

Wang Changsheng nodded, and together they left the Azure Lotus Courtyard. They emerged onto the street, observing a multitude of immortals heading out of the market. Most were True Immortal cultivators, though Golden Immortals were also present in significant numbers.

They arrived at the market entrance, and soon after, Wang Qingshan and the others joined them. Exiting the market, Wang Changsheng conjured a shimmering green dragon boat. He stepped aboard, with Wang Ruyan and the others following closely. Wang Changsheng uttered a spell, and the green dragon boat glowed with a dazzling azure light, soaring into the distance.
