Chapter 4374

Three hundred thousand years had passed.

Green Lotus City was bustling with people and traffic.

On a steep mountain peak, Wang Qiulin and Wang Yixin stood on the summit, gazing at the six-colored thunderclouds high in the sky. Thunderclaps rumbled continuously as thick bolts of six-colored immortal lightning struck down one after another.

Bai Linger, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Qingcheng, Dong Xueli, Liu Hongxue, and Du Xueyao had successively advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, making the Wang family's strength increasingly formidable.

Chu Yurou was currently attempting to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage. She had already unblocked all one hundred and eight immortal apertures, so passing the lightning tribulation would not be an issue.

After a while, the six-colored thundercloud was still dozens of *zhang* in size.

"There's only one more lightning tribulation left!" Wang Qiulin said, his expression grave.

The six-colored thundercloud churned and roiled, revealing a massive six-colored lightning tiger. Lightning gleamed all around its body, emitting an aura of world-destroying power. The six-colored lightning tiger pounced down from high above, heading straight for the ground below.

Chu Yurou stood on a charred piece of ground, wearing a mid-grade Chaos Armor, with a golden, shimmering small umbrella floating above her head. The Wang family was renowned for its artifact-refining techniques, making Chu Yurou's tribulation relatively easy.

Chu Yurou's right hand glowed brightly with golden light. She slashed towards the void, and a golden long rainbow swept out, meeting the six-colored lightning tiger. The golden long rainbow struck the six-colored lightning tiger's body, and the tiger's body, as if made of paper, split into two.

With a deafening roar, a massive ball of six-colored lightning shot up into the sky, sending dust and smoke billowing, and the ground shook violently.

Before the dust and smoke could dissipate, a streak of light flew out from it and, with a flicker, landed in front of Wang Qiulin. It was Chu Yurou. Her mid-grade Chaos Armor had a few tiny cracks, which were impossible to notice without close inspection.

"Congratulations, Ancestor Yurou, our family has gained another Taiyi Golden Immortal." Wang Yixin was overjoyed, her expression excited.

Wang Qingbai was capable of refining two types of third-tier immortal pills, which aided Golden Immortal cultivators in their breakthrough to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage. After Du Xueyao advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, she could brew the third-tier immortal wine, Seven-Star Jade Dew, which had similar miraculous effects to the Two-Form Golden Amber Pill.

Wang Qiulin smiled, nodded, and said, "My dear, you should consolidate your cultivation first!"

As Chu Yurou was about to reply, Wang Yixin took out a shimmering golden formation disc, cast a magic seal into it, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Ancestor Qiulin, Nangong Yunxin is here. He says he has an important matter to discuss with you." Wang Yixin said.

Nangong Yunxin was a core member of the Nangong Immortal Clan, and his personal visit to Wang Qiulin likely meant he was seeking a divination for opportunities.

"He's probably here to ask my husband for a divination." Chu Yurou's face was filled with pride.

Wang Changsheng had refined a top-grade immortal artifact, the Nine Palaces Disc, for Wang Qiulin to aid in his divinations. With the Nine Palaces Disc in hand, Wang Qiulin's divination abilities had greatly improved. His divinations for opportunities, performed for many Taiyi Golden Immortals, proved extremely accurate. His reputation grew steadily, and the name 'Immortal Lord of Nine Palaces' spread far and wide, attracting many Taiyi Golden Immortals.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Nangong now?" Wang Qiulin asked.

"He is currently at Ancestor Qingling's residence, discussing cultivation methods with her." Wang Yixin replied truthfully.

"I'll go there now!" Wang Qiulin transformed into a streak of light and departed.

Hundred Spirits Peak, Wang Qingling's residence.

A sprawling estate with green brick and glazed tiles, pavilions, terraces, and winding corridors with water features.

Wang Qingling, Wang Qingxiao, and Nangong Yunxin sat in a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

Wang Qingxiao had advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, saving Wang Qingling a considerable period of arduous cultivation and allowing her to advance to the mid-Taiyi Golden Immortal stage. Since Wang Qingxiao was Wang Qingling's natal spirit beast, when one progressed, the other also benefited.

Nangong Yunxin had also advanced to the mid-Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, and he had come to Green Lotus City this time to find Wang Qiulin.

"Fellow Daoist Wang has entered seclusion again! It seems he won't emerge until he reaches the late Taiyi Golden Immortal stage." Nangong Yunxin said with a smile.

"Ninth Uncle has toiled for many years. Now that we can share the family's burdens, he can cultivate in peace." Wang Qingling's face was filled with pride. Now that they had grown, they could help shoulder the responsibilities, allowing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan to cultivate in peace.

Wang Qingling looked up towards the sky and said, "Qiulin, come in and talk! No need to send voice transmission talismans."

"Yes, Aunt Qingling." Wang Qiulin's voice rang out.

As his voice fell, Wang Qiulin descended from the sky and landed in the stone pavilion. Wang Qiulin offered Nangong Yunxin a slight smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Nangong, long time no see."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you able to divine the whereabouts of treasures?" Nangong Yunxin asked.

"If there's specific information about the treasure—its name, abilities—and ideally something that has come into contact with it. For instance, if it's an alchemy furnace, having an immortal pill refined by it would help. I can attempt to divine its whereabouts, but I can't guarantee success, as I rarely divine for treasures." Wang Qiulin said.

"That's good. Come with me to Heavenly Phoenix City! Our Ancestor wants to see you; he needs your help with something. If you handle it well, there will be a generous reward." Nangong Yunxin said solemnly.

"Senior Nangong wants to see me?" Wang Qiulin was stunned. Wang Qiulin was genuinely surprised that Nangong Dezhi, the Ancestor of the Nangong Immortal Clan, wanted to see him. Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao were also shocked. Nangong Dezhi hadn't appeared in public for tens of millions of years, yet he wanted to see Wang Qiulin.

"Don't worry, even if you fail, we won't blame you. We need your help in divining the whereabouts of a certain treasure." Nangong Yunxin said.

"Alright, I'll make the trip with you!" Wang Qiulin agreed.

Nangong Yunxin nodded and instructed Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao, "Immortal Fairy Wang, Fellow Daoist Wang, do not spread word of this matter. It is a top secret within our Nangong Immortal Clan."

"Understood, we won't speak carelessly." Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao agreed.

Wang Qiulin followed Nangong Yunxin out of Green Lotus City, teleported to Heavenly Phoenix City, and arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Phoenix Hall.

"Ancestor, Fellow Daoist Wang has arrived." Nangong Yunxin said.

"Come in and speak!" A resonant male voice rang out.

Nangong Yunxin acknowledged and led Wang Qiulin inside.

The hall was spacious and bright. A golden-robed old man of medium build sat on the main seat, his eyes sharp and bright, exuding a powerful sense of oppression. Nangong Dezhi, the Ancestor of the Nangong Immortal Clan, possessed a late-stage Da Luo Golden Immortal cultivation. Nangong Yueshuo, Nangong Yuwei, and Nangong Yuefei stood respectfully to the side.

Wang Qiulin's expression stiffened. It seemed this treasure was extraordinary, as three Da Luo Golden Immortals from the Nangong Immortal Clan had appeared.

"This junior greets Senior Nangong!" Wang Qiulin bowed deeply, his expression respectful.

"You must be Young Friend Wang. Your physical cultivation is quite good. Yunxin must have told you everything, right?" Nangong Dezhi asked.

"Yes, he did. Senior, may I ask which treasure you wish this junior to divine the whereabouts of?" Wang Qiulin asked cautiously.

"The Taiyi Creation Pot! Do you have confidence?" Nangong Dezhi asked.

Legend had it that the Taiyi Creation Pot could purify the crystal cores of Nine-Colored Chaos Beasts. If they obtained this treasure, the Nangong Immortal Clan would develop even further.
