Chapter 4364: Xuánfú Demon Lord Visits

Xuanxuzi suddenly understood. Thinking about it, it made sense. Wang Changsheng had, after all, been summoned by the Kunlun Dao Ancestor; perhaps the Dao Ancestor had given him some pure seven-colored crystal cores.

He pondered for a moment, then with a flick of his right hand, he took out a cyan storage bracelet and tossed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng swept his divine sense over it, and a flicker of surprise appeared in his eyes. Inside were quite a few Primordial Stones; crafting two high-grade Chaos Armors would be no problem.

He was somewhat surprised that Xuanxuzi could acquire so many Primordial Stones.

Wang Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and accepted the storage bracelet.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay longer. We shall meet again when we have time."

Xuanxuzi rose to take his leave.

Wang Changsheng personally escorted him out, showing Xuanxuzi great respect.

After seeing Xuanxuzi off, Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber where the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron floated above a formation.

Qingxuan had once again fallen into a deep slumber. Wang Changsheng had tried to communicate with him multiple times, but Qingxuan did not respond.

He swept his sleeve, and the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron flew towards him, landing in front of him.

He sat down cross-legged, took out his crafting materials, and began crafting high-grade Chaos Armors.

He and Wang Ruyan had cultivated Immortal Bodies, making them capable of resisting high-grade immortal artifacts. However, Wang Qingshan and the others did not possess Immortal Bodies; with a high-grade Chaos Armor for defense, they could withstand high-grade immortal artifacts.

The Kunlun Dao Ancestor had an Immortal Armor Army composed of Taiyi Golden Immortals. When Kunlun Immortal City and the Hunxie King Tribe engaged in a major war, this Immortal Armor Army was a crucial and renowned force.

The Wang family had over three hundred Golden Immortal cultivators, and this number would continue to grow. In the future, the Wang family would certainly have more and more Taiyi Golden Immortals. If they had an Immortal Armor Army composed of Taiyi Golden Immortals, even if it only consisted of seven or eight members, it would greatly enhance the Wang family's strength.

Wang Changsheng threw an eight-colored Chaos Beast hide into the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron and closed the lid.

He opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of snow-blue flame, which landed at the bottom of the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron.

Heavenly Phoenix City, Quiet Moon Pavilion.

In a certain secret chamber, where runes flickered on the stone walls, Han Rong sat cross-legged on a golden prayer mat, holding a golden immortal transmission mirror. On the mirror's surface, a pot-bellied, purple-robed old man could be seen.

"What? You can't reach Xu Feng anymore?"

Han Rong asked, frowning.

"I had been in constant contact with the Hall Master," the purple-robed old man said gravely, "but a while ago, I couldn't reach him at all. Nor could I reach Fairy Murong."

This was Tang Long, Deputy Hall Master of the Yama Palace Intelligence Hall.

"Where was he last seen?"

Han Rong asked.

"Immortal Spirit Sea Region!"

Tang Long reported truthfully. He seemed to remember something and added, "Fairy Tianqin suddenly appeared in the Immortal Spirit Sea Region, claiming to be investigating the cause of death of her descendant. She issued a massive bounty, offering a high-grade immortal artifact to anyone who provided significant clues. She even personally entered the Immortal Spirit Tomb with several Taiyi Golden Immortals to search for clues."

"Fairy Tianqin appeared in the Immortal Spirit Sea Region? Investigating the cause of death of her descendant?"

Han Rong was filled with doubt. "This is too much of a coincidence!" she thought.

"I heard that the Wang family member consulted a Taiyi Golden Immortal diviner," Tang Long said, "who divined that he had a great opportunity and had found the Immortal Spirit Tomb. He then secretly entered the Immortal Spirit Tomb to seek treasures and perished there."

"A great opportunity!"

Han Rong's face showed a pensive expression. She instructed, "You must continue the investigation and thoroughly ascertain the cause of death of Xu Feng and Fairy Luoshui. The Wang family is highly suspected. If it turns out to be the Wang family's doing, do not alert them; report to me immediately."

"Yes, Madam Han."

Tang Long assented.

Han Rong put away the immortal transmission mirror, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

"If others don't offend me, I won't offend them," Han Rong murmured to herself. "But if the Wang family truly did this, don't blame me for being impolite."

Time flew by; over a thousand years passed.

In Azure Lotus City, the streets were bustling with people and carriages.

On Azure Lotus Peak, Wang Ruyan and Wang Yulan sat in a stone pavilion, while Wang Rumeng and Wang Yunfu stood to the side.

Wang Yulan had already advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, signifying the rise of a new generation.

"You two should learn more from Yulan," Wang Ruyan encouraged with a smile, "I hope you can also advance to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage!"

With Wang Yulan advancing to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, she could alleviate some of Wang Ruyan's burden by helping to craft Profound Aperture Immortal Talismans and Jade Aperture Immortal Talismans. Of course, Wang Yulan was not yet capable of crafting them.

Wang Ruyan had ostentatiously searched for clues regarding the deceased descendant in the Immortal Spirit Sea Region, even entering the Immortal Spirit Tomb with several Taiyi Golden Immortals to search. Naturally, there were no results.

She had stayed in the Immortal Spirit Sea Region for over a thousand years, finding nothing, and had since returned. The Wang family, however, dispatched many experts to the Immortal Spirit Sea Region to continue the investigation, seemingly determined not to give up.

Wang Ruyan did not tell the truth to the other family members, as many believed it to be a genuine investigation. Fearing that eager family members might risk entering the Immortal Spirit Tomb to prove themselves, Wang Ruyan specifically instructed that family members below the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage were forbidden from entering the Immortal Spirit Tomb without authorization. Any significant clues were to be reported immediately.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Wang Rumeng and Wang Yunfu replied in unison, their expressions respectful.

Wang Yixin's voice came from outside: "Ancestor, Demon Lord Xuanfu is here to visit. He says he has an important matter to discuss with you."

"Demon Lord Xuanfu? Come in and report!"

Wang Ruyan instructed.

Wang Yixin walked in and said, "Demon Lord Xuanfu and Mu Wanwan are visiting. They are just outside Azure Lotus City."

"What a rare guest!"

A clear male voice rang out.

Just as the words fell, Wang Changsheng walked out from the Azure Lotus Pavilion, a smile on his face.

He had successfully crafted two high-grade Chaos Armors and had also helped Wang Yidao, Wang Mengbin, Ye Haitang, Wang Qingbai, and Bai Yuqi upgrade their natal immortal artifacts to high-grade immortal artifacts.

"Please invite them to Azure Lotus Peak!"

Wang Changsheng instructed.

Demon Lord Xuanfu shared the same name as him, which was why Wang Changsheng treated him with extra courtesy.

Wang Yixin assented and left to carry out the order.

"You may also return!"

Wang Ruyan dismissed Wang Yulan and the other two.

Wang Changsheng walked over and sat in the stone pavilion. Wang Ruyan picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of immortal tea.

Wang Changsheng raised his teacup and took a sip. Just then, Wang Yixin walked in, accompanied by Demon Lord Xuanfu and Mu Wanwan.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, it's been a long time."

Demon Lord Xuanfu greeted them with a smile.

Wang Changsheng invited them to sit and poured them a cup of immortal tea.

Demon Lord Xuanfu and Mu Wanwan did not stand on ceremony, picking up their teacups and taking a sip.

"Excellent tea," Demon Lord Xuanfu praised, getting straight to the point. "To be frank, we have come this time to ask for help from Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang."

"What is the matter?"

Wang Changsheng asked.

"We discovered an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling in Immortal Meteor Valley," Demon Lord Xuanfu explained. "It has a spirit restriction that we cannot undo. We would like to ask Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang for your assistance. Here is a ball of third-tier immortal flame and some talisman crafting materials. Once the restriction is broken, we will offer further generous rewards."

Demon Lord Xuanfu took out a blue jade bottle and a blue storage bracelet, handing them to Wang Changsheng.

"A third-tier immortal flame!"

Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised; this was a rare commodity.

He unstoppered the bottle, and a surge of strange cold air rushed out, followed by a ball of white flame.
