Chapter 4290: 昊天宫

If it were other Golden Immortal cultivators, they might have fallen for it, but unfortunately, they ran into Wang Qiuting.

"A trap!" Wang Changsheng's face showed a thoughtful expression. He remembered Ye Haitang had also encountered a similar trap, and now one was targeting Wang Qiuting.

The Wang family had several rivals on the Chaos Continent, such as the Five Immortal Sect, the Firemoon Clan, and the Golden Star Clan. Given the Wang family's current standing, it wasn't necessary for these rivals to lure and kill a Wang family Golden Immortal; if exposed, it would cause significant trouble. Of course, these factions also had a motive: the *Heavenly Soul Tome*. High-level soul cultivation techniques were still very enticing. Besides that, Chaos Beasts were also suspect, or perhaps the Palace of Yama.

Wang Qiuting took out a golden Immortal Transmission Mirror, imbued it with a spell, and Wang Mengshan's face appeared on the mirror. "Ancestor Qiuting, Sun Yan's background has been thoroughly investigated."

"Come to Qinglian Peak to report!" Wang Qiuting instructed.

Wang Mengshan agreed and ended the connection.

Not long after, Wang Mengshan arrived at Qinglian Peak and reported Sun Yan's situation in detail. Sun Yan was a rogue cultivator who made a living by hunting Chaos Beasts. However, he had been missing for hundreds of thousands of years, claiming he had traveled to other immortal realms and only recently returned. He had a wide network of friends, primarily other rogue cultivators.

"Where is he now?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"In Yunqiang City, a city controlled by the Chu family. He entered a pavilion and hasn't come out yet," Wang Mengshan reported.

Wang Changsheng summoned Wang Chan and Wang Chan and instructed, "Go keep an eye on Sun Yan. Don't let him escape. If he dares to leave Yunqiang City, apprehend him. Be discreet about it."

"Yes, Master," the two agreed and left to carry out the order.

"Ancestor, he's just a Golden Immortal cultivator. We can keep an eye on him," Wang Mengshan said, implying that Wang Changsheng sending others to watch Sun Yan suggested the members of the Dark Hall were useless.

"They can track enemies based on the strength of their divine souls. You don't have that divine ability, so it's easy to lose him. You also go keep an eye on Sun Yan, but don't alarm him. Qiuting, come with me to seek treasure. I want to see what kind of divine being dares to plot against our Wang family." Wang Changsheng's face was filled with killing intent.

"Who dares to plot against our Wang family? They're quite bold." Wang Ruyan's voice rang out. As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Ruyan emerged from the green pavilion, her expression cold. After mastering a new divine ability, she attempted to refine Profound Aperture Immortal Charms and successfully created two of them. In addition, she also crafted three types of Tier-3 Immortal Charms. She gave one Profound Aperture Immortal Charm to Wang Changsheng, and they both went into seclusion to open their apertures. Wang Ruyan successfully opened her eighth aperture and had been comprehending laws, only now emerging from seclusion.

"Husband, let me go with you! It'll be safer," Wang Ruyan said.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "We'll go with Qiuting. Of course, we need to change our appearances and disguise ourselves as Golden Immortal cultivators, otherwise, we'll scare off the enemy."

"There might be other spies in Qinglian City, watching Qiuting's movements," Wang Mengshan added.

"That's easy. We'll spread the word that we're preparing to host a Grand Unity Celebration and invite other factions to attend. Qiuting will contact Sun Yan and inquire about the origins of the Heavenly Mechanism Box, giving him the false impression that she's looking for a valuable treasure to offer us," Wang Changsheng instructed. He planned to host the Grand Unity Celebration to strengthen the family's cohesion and, at the same time, mislead their enemies. It would be logical for Wang Qiuting to want to present a valuable item to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan during their Grand Unity Celebration.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Qiuting and the others readily agreed and left one after another to carry out their respective tasks.

"My dear, what law have you comprehended?" Wang Changsheng asked casually.

"The Law of Destruction. And you, husband?" Wang Ruyan replied. She had originally hoped to comprehend the Law of Illusion or the Law of Dreams, but she hadn't succeeded and instead comprehended the Law of Destruction.

"The Law of Destruction!" Wang Changsheng was both surprised and delighted. This law possessed considerable power; he had personally experienced it.

"I've comprehended the Law of Confinement. Now we can interrogate the one who killed Qingfeng," Wang Changsheng said. After opening their eighth apertures, their immortal power was even more abundant.

Wang Ruyan nodded, and she and Wang Changsheng went into a secret room. On the wall hung a scroll shimmering with blue light, depicting a boundless sea with towering waves.

This Grand Vast Diagram was a spatial Xuan-Heaven treasure. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan glowed with immortal light, stepping into the diagram and appearing above an endless expanse of cerulean sea. They landed on a deserted island about a hundred miles in circumference. In the center of the island was a vast bluestone plaza, where nine thick blue stone pillars stood erect. In the middle of the plaza was a massive blue water curtain. A miniature Nascent Soul floated in its center, bound by nine slender blue chains.

Wang Ruyan took out a blue flute and began to play. A cheerful flute melody sounded, reverberating throughout the heavens and earth. As time passed, the flute melody grew more rapid. The miniature Nascent Soul's expression became dazed and drowsy.

A Dream of Yellow Millet! This was a musical piece that, by utilizing the Law of Sound, could cause enemies to fall into a dream.

"Which Immortal Realm are you from? Which sect do you belong to?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"The Haotian Palace of the Barren Immortal Realm!" the miniature Nascent Soul spoke.

"The Barren Immortal Realm, Haotian Palace!" Wang Changsheng frowned. The Barren Immortal Realm was a vast immortal realm, teeming with experts. No wonder the opponent could achieve mastery in a law and cultivate into a peak true spirit.

"Who is your master? What is your master's cultivation level?" Wang Changsheng continued to ask.

"My master is Immortal Lord Lieyang, a late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and a descendant of the Haotian Palace Master," the miniature Nascent Soul continued.

"A descendant of the Haotian Palace Master, Immortal Lord Lieyang!" Wang Changsheng's heart sank. It was a good thing he had been cautious; this person had a significant background.

Wang Changsheng asked a few more questions, and the miniature Nascent Soul answered truthfully. This person was named Qin Xin, a disciple of Immortal Lord Lieyang. He was a promising junior disciple carefully cultivated by the Haotian Palace, which had an Archgolden Immortal overseeing it. He had traveled to the Beihai Immortal Realm, and upon hearing that the Myriad Immortals Continent was about to open, he entered it to seek treasures. He had clashed with Wang Qingfeng over cultivation resources. Having obtained the answers they sought, Wang Ruyan stopped playing, and the flute melody ceased.

"If you release me, my master might spare you. Otherwise, if my master comes looking for me, you'll be in great trouble," the miniature Nascent Soul spoke.

"We'll see when he comes knocking," Wang Changsheng said nonchalantly, and he and Wang Ruyan exited the Grand Vast Diagram.

"Haotian Palace, an Archgolden Immortal... quite a significant background!" Wang Ruyan exclaimed. According to Qin Xin's confession, the Haotian Palace possessed a Legacy Roster that could revive Golden Immortal cultivators. If they destroyed Qin Xin's Nascent Soul, he could be revived through the Legacy Roster, which meant he could inform his senior sect members where he was killed and by whom.
