Chapter 4352: Golden Scale Divine Crystal (None Left Today)

Upon arriving at Kunlun Immortal City, he had already heard about the exploits of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. He rarely had the chance to meet them and was eager to test his skills against Wang Changsheng.

The Green Lotus Immortal Couple had been summoned by the Kunlun Dao Ancestor, so losing to Wang Changsheng would not be a disgrace for Lin Jiu. A victory, on the other hand, would bring him considerable prestige.

“Since this is a sparring match, how can there be no stakes? Surely, Fellow Daoist Lin, you are not unaware of this rule!” Ye Xuanji said.

If any Grand Unity Golden Immortal could spar with Wang Changsheng, he would become a mere practice partner and would be constantly occupied.

“Indeed! Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Wang is someone who has been summoned by the Kunlun Dao Ancestor. If you want to spar with him, you should at least offer some stakes!” Du Yue chimed in.

Lin Jiu was from Qilin Immortal City, and most of the Grand Unity Golden Immortals present were from Kunlun Immortal City, so naturally, they would speak up for Wang Changsheng.

“That’s right! Benefactor Lin, if you want Fellow Daoist Wang to be your practice partner, you should show some sincerity!” Master Miaode said.

He hadn’t expected Lin Jiu to want to spar with Wang Changsheng, so naturally, he couldn’t let Lin Jiu get his way too easily.

Wang Changsheng smiled slightly and said, “I have participated in Senior Nangong’s Grand Luo Celebration; I have seen a thing or two.”

Lin Jiu pondered for a moment before producing an entirely golden crystal. The ambient temperature rapidly rose. The crystal’s surface bore delicate, thread-like patterns, resembling countless minute golden scales meticulously pieced together.

“This is the Golden Qilin Divine Crystal, a unique artifact-refining material from our Qilin Immortal City. It’s an excellent material for refining high-grade alchemy furnaces. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Wang?” Lin Jiu said.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, “Golden Qilin Divine Crystal, this is indeed rare, but we need to find a suitable place.”

“No need to look for a place. I have a medium-grade immortal artifact with its own spatial dimension. It’s no problem for Fellow Daoist Wang and Fellow Daoist Lin to exchange a move inside.”

Du Yue flicked her sleeve, and a golden light flew out, transforming into a continuously flowing golden scroll painting depicting mountains and water.

“A spatial immortal artifact!”

Everyone was a bit surprised. Spatial immortal artifacts were rare items; even a medium-grade immortal artifact with its own spatial dimension was not something every Grand Unity Golden Immortal could produce.

“Alright, I’ll go in first and await Fellow Daoist Wang’s presence.” Lin Jiu readily agreed, transforming into a streak of red light and flying into the golden scroll.

Wang Changsheng’s body glowed brightly with blue light, and he followed them inside. Du Yue, Ye Xuanji, and several other Grand Unity Golden Immortals also flew in, while Wang Ruyan, Master Miaode, and a few others remained outside.

Wang Changsheng and Lin Jiu stood above a continuous range of mountains, while Ye Xuanji and the others observed from a distance.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, how about we each take one move from the other, without using laws, and just rely on our physical divine abilities?” Lin Jiu suggested, his eyes burning with eagerness.

“No problem, Fellow Daoist Lin, you go first.”

In earlier years, Nangong Yueshuo had given Wang Changsheng a bottle of Golden Ganoderma Forging Immortal Pills. These pills contained the core of a seven-colored chaotic beast at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. Wang Changsheng had consumed them long ago, and his physical body had been significantly enhanced.

Lin Jiu’s right fist glowed with a red light. He struck the void, causing a ripple. A colossal red beast hoof materialized and swiftly slammed down. Even before the red beast hoof fully descended, the void couldn’t withstand it. It twisted and deformed, showing numerous cracks, as if on the verge of collapse.

Wang Changsheng remained calm. His right fist blazed with blue light as he unleashed a punch, colliding with the red beast hoof.

With a thunderous boom, Wang Changsheng’s body plummeted rapidly, falling over a hundred feet before stopping. The red beast hoof exploded, and a powerful shockwave swept outwards in all directions. Numerous mountain peaks were pulverized into dust, while plants were shredded into fragments, as the violent shockwave rolled forth.

Lin Jiu frowned. Wang Changsheng’s physical body was far stronger than he had imagined. No wonder he had been summoned by the Kunlun Dao Ancestor; indeed, a great reputation is rarely unfounded.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, it’s your turn. Don’t hold back,” Lin Jiu said, his face full of confidence.

Wang Changsheng nodded. His right index finger glowed with intense blue light as he lightly pointed at the void. A long blue rainbow shot forth, leaving a white streak in the void, and headed straight for Lin Jiu. The entire void was torn open as if by a sharp blade. The ground shook violently, then ripped apart, revealing a massive fissure with astonishing force.

Lin Jiu’s right fist blazed with red light, and some red scales grew to protect his fist. He launched a punch to meet the attack. The blue rainbow collided with Lin Jiu’s fist, piercing right through it, causing blood to immediately gush out.

Lin Jiu frowned, while Du Yue and the other Grand Unity Golden Immortals were stunned. They knew Wang Changsheng possessed a powerful physical divine ability, but they hadn't imagined it to be this formidable. Some factions also possessed powerful physical divine abilities, but the power of such abilities always depended on the caster’s physical body. While they had cultivation methods, their bodies weren’t exceptionally strong, limiting the effectiveness of their physical divine abilities.

A blinding red light surged from Lin Jiu’s palm, and the wound rapidly healed.

A Self-Healing Physique!

“Fellow Daoist Wang’s profound mastery of the Dao is truly admirable.” Lin Jiu cupped his hands, his face filled with admiration.

“Fellow Daoist Lin’s physical divine ability is also formidable. It would be no problem for you to deal with other fellow Daoists who have cultivated to the peak True Spirit stage,” Wang Changsheng praised him, adding that had it been any other Grand Unity Golden Immortal, they truly wouldn’t have been able to block Lin Jiu’s physical divine ability. It would be no problem for him to slay a seven-colored chaotic beast at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

“Comparing myself to them is uninteresting. Being able to catch up to Fellow Daoist Wang — now that is interesting,” Lin Jiu said with a smile, taking out the Golden Qilin Divine Crystal and tossing it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng put away the Golden Qilin Divine Crystal. He planned to collect more artifact-refining materials to forge a high-grade alchemy furnace for Wang Qingbai, which would significantly increase his success rate in refining immortal pills.

“Fellow Daoist Wang and Fellow Daoist Lin both possess incredibly powerful physical divine abilities. I am truly enlightened.” Du Yue flew over, her face filled with admiration.

“It was merely a physical divine ability. In a life-or-death battle, laws would certainly be employed.” Wang Changsheng dismissed it.

“Let’s go outside to chat!” Ye Xuanji suggested. They flew out of the golden scroll and sat down in the stone pavilion.

Master Miaode was somewhat surprised to learn the result of the match and praised, “It seems Fellow Daoist Wang is not far from cultivating an immortal physique.”

“I appreciate Master Miaode’s auspicious words,” Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

They discussed matters of cultivation, primarily exchanging insights on body cultivation, law cultivation, and soul cultivation. After more than five hours, they ceased their discussions and began exchanging immortal cultivation resources.

Wang Changsheng successfully exchanged for some artifact-refining materials. Besides forging a high-grade alchemy furnace for Wang Qingbai, he could also craft a high-grade talisman brush for Wang Ruyan, which would increase her success rate in creating immortal talismans and Immortal-Slaying Arrows.

As dusk fell, they successively bade farewell and departed.

Over the next half-month, the three of them—Wang Changsheng and his companions—frequently attended gatherings of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, exchanging cultivation insights and taking the opportunity to trade immortal cultivation resources. Both the Kunlun Dao Ancestor and Nangong Yueshuo had given guidance to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. They had few major doubts regarding their cultivation and knew which direction to proceed in. Their main purpose was to connect with other Grand Unity Golden Immortals and exchange immortal cultivation resources.

Du Yue had comprehended the Law of Reincarnation using the Myriad Wisdom Immortal Talisman. She exchanged insights on cultivating supreme laws with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, and each gained something valuable.
