Chapter 4273: Thousand Years

A millennium had passed. On the vast plains of the Chaos Continent, seven men and one woman were besieging a three-colored Chaos Beast that resembled a wolf. Leading them was a ruddy-faced old man in a red robe, who was using the Law of Fire to attack the beast.

Under the siege of the eight True Immortal cultivators, the three-colored Chaos Beast was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, with its bones faintly visible.

The red-robed old man activated a spell. Five red flying daggers glowed brightly, merged into one, and transformed into a massive, flame-wreathed red blade that slashed towards the three-colored Chaos Beast.

The three-colored Chaos Beast's head was severed, spilling blood across the ground.

“It’s finally done; our long wait wasn’t in vain,” the red-robed old man said, his face showing joy. Just then, a loud roar echoed as a five-colored Chaos Beast, also resembling a wolf, rapidly approached from a distance.

“Oh no, a five-colored Chaos Beast! Run!” The red-robed old man exclaimed in horror. They were already fortunate to have slain the three-colored beast; without array protection, they couldn't possibly withstand a five-colored one.

The red-robed old man’s right hand glowed crimson. He slapped the air, and a giant, flame-engulfed palm materialized, shooting straight towards the five-colored Chaos Beast.

The five-colored Chaos Beast was struck by the crimson palm, and torrents of flames engulfed its body. However, a five-colored spiritual light soon flared, the flames dispersed, and the Chaos Beast reappeared.

A giant red blade shot forth, striking the five-colored Chaos Beast’s head with a dull clang of metal.

A yellow-glowing talisman flew over and instantly burst, unleashing a surge of countless yellow runes. They swirled and transformed into nine thick yellow chains, binding the five-colored Chaos Beast.

The five-colored Chaos Beast let out a resounding roar, easily snapped the yellow chains, and lunged at the red-robed old man.

Just then, an extremely cold female voice resonated from the sky: “Insolent beast, cease your rampage.” No sooner had she spoken than a massive red saber light swept forth, transforming mid-air into an enormous crimson fire dragon that collided with the five-colored Chaos Beast.

The five-colored Chaos Beast’s body was torn in half by the crimson fire dragon, as if it were made of paper. A long azure rainbow appeared on the distant horizon. It flickered and stopped above the red-robed old man, revealing an azure colossal ship over a thousand zhang long. On its deck stood a 36-story azure pavilion, and its sail bore a large azure lotus emblem. A team of cultivators stood on the deck, their robes embroidered with the same azure lotus pattern. Wang Benyan led them.

Wang Benyan was currently an early-stage Golden Immortal, while Wang Yidao had already reached late-stage Golden Immortal.

“The Azure Lotus Wang Family!” the red-robed old man exclaimed, his expression turning respectful upon seeing the azure lotus emblem.

“Many thanks for your assistance, Senior Wang,” the red-robed old man bowed, expressing his gratitude. The Azure Lotus Wang Family was quite renowned on the Chaos Continent, primarily because Immortal Lord Taihao originated from them.

Wang Changsheng, having mastered a Supreme Law, had gained widespread fame by being able to slay an eight-colored Chaos Beast even at the early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. The title ‘Daoist Taihao’ no longer suited him; cultivators widely referred to him as Immortal Lord Taihao.

“How did a five-colored Chaos Beast appear here?” Wang Benyan asked curiously, as she collected its carcass.

The Wang, Cao, and Chu families controlled the Hulan Mountain Range, where they had established numerous cities. This made it much harder for high-level Chaos Beasts to infiltrate the immortal cultivators’ heartland.

“Some time ago, a secret realm experienced an anomaly, and several Chaos Beasts escaped. This is likely one of them,” the red-robed old man explained.

Wang Benyan realized, saying, “Take care of yourselves and leave this place soon!” She activated a spell, and the azure flying boat immediately glowed brightly, soaring into the distance and quickly disappearing from sight.

“That must be Immortal Maiden Wuji! The Wang Family truly has an abundance of talent; even the younger generation is so powerful. Their elder Golden Immortals must be even more formidable,” a cultivator sighed with emotion.

Wang Benyan, possessing the Limitless Blade Physique and skilled in saber arts, was widely known among cultivators as Immortal Maiden Wuji. As the number of Golden Immortal cultivators in the Wang Family grew, the younger generation began to shoulder significant responsibilities. Talented family members like Wang Lihe, Wang Huayue, Wang Yunlong, Wang Rumeng, Wang Benyan, and Wang Yinyin came to the fore, easing the burdens on the family. This allowed the elder Golden Immortals to seclude themselves for cultivation or travel to other places.

“Indeed. I hear the Nangong Immortal Family is preparing to hold a Grand Luo Golden Immortal Celebration, inviting numerous guests, and the Wang Family is among those invited. We, however, do not have such fortune.”

“I’ve heard that even the grand-disciple of Dao Ancestor Kunlun will make an appearance, and many immortals are coming to celebrate.”

“Alright, enough talk. Let’s leave this place,” the red-robed old man urged, leading his companions away.

Azure Lotus Mountain Range, Azure Lotus City. Shops lined the streets, crowds flowed like weaving threads, and traffic bustled. Azure Lotus Peak was the residence of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

At the peak of the mountain lay a vast estate, its plaque bearing the three golden characters: “Azure Lotus Garden.” In a secluded courtyard, Wang Ruyan sat in a stone pavilion, conversing with Wang Xinghai.

Wang Xinghai was currently at the True Immortal stage. He had cultivated laws in the Enlightenment Pagoda and successfully comprehended the Law of Stars. As Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan presided over Azure Lotus City, Wang Xinghai had also come to stay.

“Excellent, as expected of a Star Body. You’ve comprehended the Law of Stars so quickly,” Wang Ruyan said with a look of approval.

Other family members who practiced the *Star Immortal Scripture* had spent hundreds of thousands of years without comprehending the Law of Stars. However, Wang Xinghai, possessing a Star Body, cultivating the *Star Immortal Scripture*, and having the aid of the Enlightenment Pagoda, found it much easier to do so.

“This is all thanks to the Ancestor’s guidance and cultivation,” Wang Xinghai replied modestly. While the Wang Family had a considerable number of True Immortal cultivators, Wang Xinghai received the best treatment. He was allowed to reside on Azure Lotus Peak, and Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan would periodically guide him in his cultivation.

“Cultivation is fundamental. Your current cultivation level is too low. Now that you’ve comprehended the Law of Stars, you should spend more time cultivating to raise your cultivation base,” a deep male voice resounded.

No sooner had the voice faded than Wang Changsheng emerged from a side courtyard, a smile on his face.

“Your grandson pays his respects to the Ancestor,” Wang Xinghai immediately bowed with a respectful expression. Wang Changsheng's fame spread widely after his battle, bringing honor to the Wang Family descendants.

Wang Xinghai had met many True Immortal cultivators in Azure Lotus City. At every gathering, they would speak of Wang Changsheng with immense admiration, which, while making Wang Xinghai proud, also motivated him to strive harder and follow in Wang Changsheng’s footsteps.

“Cultivate diligently. For the family to grow and prosper, we also need contributions from your younger generation,” Wang Changsheng encouraged.

“Yes, Ancestor,” Wang Xinghai replied, his expression excited. After a brief chat, Wang Changsheng dismissed him.

“Madam, the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Celebration hosted by the Nangong Immortal Family will be held soon, won’t it?” Wang Changsheng asked.

“It’s very soon. Fellow Daoist Nangong contacted me recently, asking you to proceed to Tianfeng City as quickly as possible to be introduced to other Supremes,” Wang Ruyan replied.
