Chapter 4242: Closed-door Cultivation

In the sky above a certain area of the Thousand Spirits Sea, Fairy Liuyun, Immortal Venerable Thousand Swords, Lei Yao, and several other Grand Unity Golden Immortals stood conversing. Two long green rainbows flew out from the Myriad Immortals Continent and headed towards them.

"Someone's coming out," Immortal Venerable Thousand Swords remarked with a frown, as his disciple's soul lamp had extinguished. Soon after, the two green lights halted, revealing the figures of Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao.

"Little friend Wang, where are your parents?" Fairy Liuyun inquired."I got separated from them, so I don't know where they are," Wang Qingbai replied.

"Did you encounter any particularly powerful Golden Immortal cultivators inside?" Immortal Venerable Thousand Swords asked."Yes, he was possessed by an extraterrestrial demon at the time, so we didn't dare to linger and left immediately," Wang Qingbai replied. He did indeed encounter an extraterrestrial demon, but the extraterrestrial demon had possessed another Golden Immortal cultivator, and he had killed it.

"You should return now. Don't wander around aimlessly; there are malicious individuals specifically targeting cultivators who leave the Myriad Immortals Continent," Fairy Liuyun hinted. Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao promptly assented and flew away into the distance.

Immortal Venerable Thousand Swords and the others remained silent, naturally discerning that Fairy Liuyun was acquainted with Wang Qingbai and Xiahou Yao. Although Fairy Liuyun had not been a Grand Unity Golden Immortal for long, she had mastered her laws, was still a peak True Spirit, and possessed high-grade immortal artifacts infused with primordial spiritual treasures, making her exceptionally powerful.

In a certain sea area, near an entrance to the Myriad Immortals Continent, ocean breezes rustled. A green light flew out, then, after a flash, it stopped above a deserted island, revealing a green-glowing dragon boat. A gaping hole, about a zhang wide, appeared at the bottom of the boat, and from it, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan emerged.

Their divine sense spread wide; finding no other cultivators, they breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the green dragon boat rapidly shrank, disappearing into his sleeve.

Meanwhile, Wang Ruyan took out a blue-glowing Transmission Immortal Mirror. She cast a spell into it, and the mirror surface blurred, revealing Wang Qingshan.

"Ninth Aunt, are you and Ninth Uncle alright?" Wang Qingshan asked with concern."We're unharmed. What about you? Where are you now?" Wang Ruyan inquired.

"We're also unharmed, but Fellow Daoist Ci was killed by the enemy. We found an exit and left through it. We killed Immortal Venerable Thousand Swords' disciple," Wang Qingshan reported.

Having killed Immortal Venerable Thousand Swords' disciple, they dared not return by the same path and could only search for other exits. He currently did not know their precise location, as the Myriad Immortals Continent had too many entrances.

"Then let's meet on the island we agreed upon. We'll go there and wait for you, so be careful on your way," Wang Ruyan instructed. Before entering the Myriad Immortals Continent, they had already decided on a rendezvous point for after their departure.

"Alright, it's settled." Wang Ruyan put away the Transmission Immortal Mirror. She and Wang Changsheng altered their appearances, then flew into the distance, disappearing into the horizon.

Half a month later, they appeared above a deserted island approximately a hundred li in circumference. The island was densely vegetated, and from an aerial view, its shape strikingly resembled a circular lawn.

Wang Qingbai, Xiahou Yao, Li Qinghuan, Ni Tianlong, Wang Yidao, Ye Haitang, and Gongsun Yang emerged from a cave. Li Qinghuan had lost an arm and suffered significant vital energy depletion. Upon seeing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, they showed expressions of joy.

"Have Qingfeng and the others not arrived yet?" Wang Changsheng asked, landing before them."Father, Elder Brother was killed by the enemy, and Sister-in-law's Dharma Body was destroyed," Wang Qingbai replied, his face etched with sorrow.

"What? What exactly happened?" Wang Changsheng's expression darkened.

Wang Qingbai briefly recounted the events, though he omitted any mention of the Two-Forms Golden Amber Pill or the Dao Arts.

"Hand over the perpetrator's Nascent Soul to me. I will make sure he experiences a fate worse than death," Wang Ruyan declared, her expression filled with grief and indignation.

With the Inheritance Stele, they could revive Wang Qingfeng, but it would be quite difficult; Wang Benwei had not even been revived yet. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the difficulty of revival.

Wang Qingbai took out an exquisite green jade box and handed it to Wang Ruyan, who then put it away.

Three days later, Wang Qingshan, Bai Linger, and Four Seasons Sword Venerable also arrived.

"Let's go. We'll discuss this further when we return." Wang Changsheng conjured a green-glowing flying boat, stepped onto it, and Wang Ruyan and the others followed closely.

Forming a hand seal, he made the green flying boat glow with a dazzling green light, soaring into the sky and departing from the area.

Upon returning to the Sky Morning Sea Domain, Gongsun Yang and the others dispersed to their respective homes.

At Green Lotus Peak on Green Lotus Island, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingshan, Bai Linger, Wang Qingbai, Xiahou Yao, and Ye Haitang sat in a green stone pavilion while Wang Yongqian delivered a report.

"Dragon and Phoenix Mourning Together!" Wang Changsheng's expression tightened. This phenomenon was caused by the Inheritance Stele.

"I've publicly announced that our clan's formation masters are improving ancient formations and that this information is strictly forbidden from being leaked. There shouldn't be any issues," Wang Yongqian stated. The anomaly caused by the Inheritance Stele was too significant; it required a reasonable explanation to be credible.

"You may leave now. Take Senior Sister Chen's and Fellow Daoist Lan's Nascent Souls back to Zhenhai Palace and the Lan family, so their descendants can reconstruct their physical bodies," Wang Changsheng instructed, taking out two exquisite jade boxes and handing them to Wang Yongqian.

Wang Yongqian took the jade boxes and withdrew.

"Ninth Uncle, these are Seven-Leaf Jade Marrow Immortal Lotus seeds and Grand Unity Immortal Fruits. You're about to attempt to reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, aren't you? I hope they, along with some refining materials and immortal herbs, can be of assistance to you," Wang Qingshan said, taking out a green storage bracelet and handing it to Wang Changsheng.

"Father, this is the Two-Forms Golden Amber Pill that Elder Brother and Sister-in-law risked their lives to protect, along with some other cultivation resources," Wang Qingbai said, taking out a blue storage bracelet and handing it to Wang Changsheng.

"Uncle, these are the cultivation resources we collected," Ye Haitang said, taking out a black storage bracelet and handing it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng took the three storage bracelets and sighed deeply. This treasure hunt in the Myriad Immortals Continent had resulted in the deaths of Wang Qingfeng and Ci Lei, the destruction of Chen Yueying's and Lan Fukong's Dharma Bodies, and Li Qinghuan losing an arm, yet the gains were considerable.

There are always gains and losses; it's impossible for the Wang family's treasure hunters to avoid incidents. This time, while seeking treasures in the Myriad Immortals Continent, Wang Changsheng encountered many experts, and their laws, treasures, and divine abilities truly opened his eyes.

"I plan to go into seclusion and attempt to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. The clan's miscellaneous affairs will be left to you," Wang Changsheng stated.

Wang Qingshan and the others agreed in unison, their expressions solemn.

After giving a few instructions, Wang Changsheng dismissed them.

He and Wang Ruyan went to the Inheritance Space, entered the Green Lotus Pagoda, and stood before a statue that strongly resembled Wang Qingfeng.

"Father, Mother, you've returned." Wang Qingfeng's voice emanated from the statue.

"Rest assured, Qingfeng. Your mother and I will definitely revive you, no matter the cost," Wang Changsheng said, his gaze firm.

"Father, has the Two-Forms Golden Amber Pill reached your hands? How is Xueli?" Wang Qingfeng inquired.

"It's in our hands. Xueli's Dharma Body was destroyed, so I've had Qingbai create a new Dharma Body for her, allowing her to possess it and resume cultivation," Wang Changsheng explained.

"That's good, that's good," Wang Qingfeng said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Alright, rest well. We've already given instructions to begin arranging your revival. However, reviving a Golden Immortal cultivator is very difficult, requiring an astronomical amount of incense power, and it will take a very long time. Regardless of how long it takes, we will revive you," Wang Ruyan assured him.

"Very well, your child will await that day," Wang Qingfeng replied.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan exited the Inheritance Space.

Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber, sat down cross-legged, and began his cultivation.
