Chapter 4271: Delivering Immortal Cultivation Resources to the Nether Tribe

Chapter 4269: Soul Awakening Divine Clay

Immortal Realm, Northern Sea Immortal Territory.Cyan Lotus Island, a secluded manor.

Nangong Changyan sat in a cyan stone pavilion, while Wang Qingcheng, Bai Yuqi, Ye Haitang, and Wang Yongqian stood nearby.

"Since he successfully descended to the lower realm, there's no problem. However, each descent requires the consumption of Nine-Star Gold Marrow Crystals, a material that's not easy to find. Unless absolutely necessary, don't activate the Nine-Star Immortal Descent Formation. Even a small amount of cultivation resources sent to the lower realm will suffice for cultivators there for a long time," Nangong Changyan said.

Wang Yunchu had already arrived at Cyan Lotus Island in the Xuanyang Realm and established contact with the immortal realm family members using a formation.

"Thank you, Senior Nangong, for your trouble. This is a small token from our family. Please don't refuse it; this is my father's wish," Wang Qingcheng said politely, taking out a yellow storage bracelet and handing it to Nangong Changyan.

During her time on Cyan Lotus Island, Nangong Changyan had provided guidance to the Wang family's immortal formation masters. Nangong Changyan did not refuse and accepted the storage bracelet.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer." Nangong Changyan stood up to leave. Wang Qingcheng and the others personally escorted her, not daring to be neglectful.

After seeing off Nangong Changyan, Wang Qingcheng instructed, "Yongqian, send another person to the lower realm. Take those seventy-two specially made Divine Mechanism Immortal Lord statues down, enshrine them in a safe place, and arrange for their protection."

The Wang family had spent heavily to purchase a batch of Soul Awakening Divine Clay from the Myriad Immortal Alliance. This material, a second-tier immortal ore, was extremely precious. It was typically used to craft statues to revive immortals; these statues absorbed incense offerings with an efficiency 100,000 times greater than ordinary statues and could even speak. The Wang family had crafted over a hundred such statues.

Wang Qingcheng intended to send a batch of these statues to the lower realm. Firstly, to absorb more incense offerings, and secondly, to allow Wang Qingfeng to guide younger generations in cultivating Divine Mechanism Arts, potentially unearthing some promising talents.

"Yes, Ancestor Qingcheng." Wang Yongqian agreed and went to make the arrangements.

"With these statues, I hope Cousin Qingfeng can be revived soon!" Ye Haitang said, a look of longing on her face.

"Revival isn't a problem, it's just a matter of time," Wang Qingcheng said.

The Nangong Immortal Clan also possessed a succession list and could revive clan members; this was no secret. Given the Nangong Immortal Clan's power, reviving a Golden Immortal would take hundreds of thousands of years. The Wang family, not as powerful as the Nangong Immortal Clan, would certainly take longer, and that was just for Golden Immortals. Reviving a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would take even longer and be more difficult.

"I'll stay in the Sky Morning Sea Domain and maintain the Nine-Star Immortal Descent Formation with Yong'an! Ancestor Haitang, please return to the Chaos Continent to help! There's a shortage of second-tier immortal formation masters there," Bai Yuqi said.

The Wang family had acquired a large territory, including one Earth City and multiple Profound Cities and Yellow Cities, all of which required immortal formation masters to set up formations. Their return this time was primarily to assist Nangong Changyan in setting up the Nine-Star Immortal Descent Formation. Since the formation was now complete, Ye Haitang could return to the Chaos Continent to help.

Ye Haitang nodded, left Cyan Lotus Island with a group of clan members, and headed to the Chaos Continent.

Chaos Continent, Cyan Lotus Mountain Range, Cyan Lotus City.

The city was filled with buildings, bustling with people, and noisy with carriages and horses. Many Wang family disciples could be seen moving about.

The Wang, Cao, and Chu families jointly managed Cyan Lotus City. Grand Heaven Exalted Xuanling had no disciples or direct involvement in its management.

In a secluded manor, Wang Changsheng, Immortal Liu Yun, Cao Yuanxing, Cao Jingxia, Elder Jinlin, Jin Longzi, and Chu Yiqian sat in a cyan stone pavilion, chatting leisurely.

Cao Jingxia had recently advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal and had arrived at the Chaos Continent. Elder Jinlin had also advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal. He had been famous for many years, but he didn't recognize Wang Changsheng, as too many cultivators sought his divination services.

Grand Heaven Exalted Xuanling was in secluded cultivation. Wang Changsheng had been quite busy lately, with Grand Unity Golden Immortals frequently visiting, and he found it difficult to put on airs. These Grand Unity Golden Immortals all sought Wang Changsheng's insights on cultivating soul laws. The more benefits they offered, the more Wang Changsheng would say. Whether they could comprehend soul laws depended on themselves.

After conversing with numerous Grand Unity Golden Immortals, Wang Changsheng truly realized the importance of a high-tier soul cultivation technique. After advancing to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, they would all seek items to strengthen their souls, such as auxiliary immortal artifacts, immortal wines, immortal elixirs, immortal formations, and so on. The most popular, however, was a high-tier soul cultivation technique. Without a high-tier technique, they would seek immortal elixirs and immortal fruits, such as the Nine-Revolution Soul-Nourishing Elixir and the Profound Soul Immortal Peach.

Some old established forces in the Northern Sea Immortal Territory possessed high-tier soul cultivation techniques, capable of cultivation at least to the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. As for soul cultivation techniques that could reach the late Grand Heaven Golden Immortal stage, no one had ever heard of anyone possessing them, and even if they did, they wouldn't publicize it.

Besides soul cultivation techniques, a high-tier body refinement technique or external objects that strengthen the physical body were also highly popular among Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Of course, high-tier aperture-opening secret techniques were even more sought after, as opening one aperture allowed for the comprehension of one law; the more apertures opened, the more laws one could grasp.

The upper volume of the "Heavenly Soul Tome" could be cultivated up to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, but the lower volume was nowhere to be found. To continue cultivating the "Heavenly Soul Tome," Wang Changsheng needed to consume several types of third-tier immortal elixirs for assistance. The main ingredients of these third-tier immortal elixirs were immortal herbs or immortal fruits tens of millions of years old. It was not easy for him to collect these immortal herbs and fruits. Other high-tier soul cultivation techniques were similar, requiring external aid, whether immortal elixirs or immortal formations. This was precisely what made high-tier soul cultivation techniques so precious.

"This old man also consumed the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit, but unfortunately, I couldn't cultivate a peak True Spirit," Elder Jinlin sighed.

"If Fellow Daoist He had opened enough apertures and possessed a sufficiently powerful soul, the chances of cultivating a peak True Spirit would be greater," Immortal Liu Yun said.

Wang Changsheng fully agreed. Several Golden Immortals in the Wang family had cultivated peak True Spirits, and they all practiced the "Profound Infant Aperture Opening Great Law" and the "Heavenly Soul Tome." Of course, it only meant a higher probability; failures still occurred. Liu Hongxue, despite consuming the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit, failed to cultivate a peak True Spirit. Fortunately, the Wang family acquired the elixir recipe for the Nine-Yang Jade Marrow Elixir and the wine recipe for the Nine-Star Jade Liquid. However, the Wang family currently lacked third-tier immortal alchemists and third-tier immortal wine masters.

"Strengthening the soul is relatively manageable; one can use immortal herbs, elixirs, or wines that fortify the soul. But opening apertures is difficult. High-tier aperture-opening secret techniques are closely guarded secrets of various forces," Elder Jinlin said.

While immortal herbs, elixirs, and wines that strengthen the soul could be seen at large auctions, high-tier aperture-opening secret techniques were rare.

"Exactly! The physical body and soul are manageable, with many external aids available. But acquiring a high-tier aperture-opening secret technique is difficult," Jin Longzi sighed, his face filled with worry.

Some forces would fight fiercely, incurring countless casualties, all for a high-tier aperture-opening secret technique. Such instances were not uncommon in the Northern Sea Immortal Territory.

"To obtain high-tier aperture-opening secret techniques, one could try their luck in the Ancient Battlefield," Immortal Liu Yun said.

"Immortal Ye must be joking. The Ancient Battlefield is very dangerous; even Grand Heaven Golden Immortals can perish there. Even if one survives, it doesn't guarantee obtaining a high-tier aperture-opening secret technique," Elder Jinlin said.
