Chapter 4419: Encounter with the Supreme

Du Yifeng took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense. An expression of surprise appeared on his face. The jade slip contained records of so many rare materials, some of which he had never even heard of.

“Moonwheel Starstone! This material has appeared in the Sky-Night Sea Region before. You can go there and try your luck; finding it will depend on your fortune.” Du Yifeng said.

“The Sky-Night Sea Region? Is that where the Night Clan resides?” Wang Ruyan asked.

“Precisely. We have some of those materials, and we wish to trade them for immortal herbs. How many of these materials does Fellow Daoist Song have?” Du Yifeng took out a green jade slip and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

“I have a good portion, perhaps half! As for the exact quantity, that depends on how much of what we need Fellow Daoist Du can provide.” Wang Changsheng said meaningfully. In fact, he could have produced most of the immortal herbs recorded in the jade slip, but he didn’t want to be overly ostentatious. One must always be wary of others, even if Wang Changsheng was confident in his own strength.

“Yanhong, make a trip yourself. Return to the clan and retrieve all these materials from the treasury.” Du Yifeng instructed, handing the jade slip to Du Yanhong. Du Yanhong assented and departed to carry out the order.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Du Yifeng chatted over tea, exchanging insights on cultivation. Du Yifeng inquired about Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's origins, and they naturally did not tell the truth, successfully evading the question.

“By the way, I heard that Lord Qiantai has cultivated an immortal physique?” Wang Changsheng asked casually. According to the information gathered by Wang Mengshan, Lord Qiantai was a Grand Luo Golden Immortal from a rogue cultivator background.

“Precisely. However, that senior hasn’t appeared for many years. His last public appearance was over ten million years ago when he participated in a major battle against chaos beasts. He was injured by a fourth-mutation chaos beast and has been missing ever since.” Du Yifeng said. Fourth-mutation chaos beasts are also known as King Beasts, possessing the powerful Berserker divine ability. Changing his tone, he asked curiously, “Fellow Daoist Wang has also cultivated an immortal physique, haven't you?” Wang Changsheng’s physical combat with Xiong Shuo, defeating him in a single move, strongly suggested he had cultivated an immortal physique. Wang Changsheng naturally did not admit it, denying Du Yifeng's speculation.

They inquired about some of the powerful figures in the Barren Immortal Realm, especially immortals who had mastered supreme laws. Before coming to the Barren Immortal Realm, Wang Mengshan had gathered information on this, but it was not comprehensive. Du Yifeng did not conceal anything and truthfully informed them, as this was not a secret.

In less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea, Du Yanhong returned, took out a red storage bracelet, and handed it to Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng scanned it with his divine sense, a look of delight on his face. He then took out a blue storage bracelet and handed it to Du Yifeng. Du Yifeng scanned it with his divine sense and nodded in satisfaction.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Wang Changsheng bid them farewell and departed. Leaving the market, Wang Changsheng conjured a large green ship, stepped aboard, followed closely by Wang Ruyan and Wang Tunian. Wang Changsheng chanted an incantation, and the green ship immediately glowed brightly, soaring towards the distant horizon.

Two years later, the green ship appeared over a black sea. The water was black, and the sky was a hazy gray, giving off a gloomy impression. Wang Ruyan sat cross-legged on the deck, a phoenix-tail zither placed before her, playing it with full concentration. Wang Changsheng held an ancient book in his hands, reading it with great interest, while Wang Tunian stood on the deck, observing the path ahead.

“Master, someone on an isolated island ahead is attempting to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, drawing down nine-colored immortal lightning.” Wang Tunian said.

“Nine-colored immortal lightning! A Supreme? How far are they from us?” Wang Changsheng’s interest was piqued.

“Over ten million li, to the southwest.” Wang Tunian replied truthfully.

Wang Changsheng chanted an incantation, and the green ship immediately shone brightly, flying towards the southwest. Not long after, the green ship stopped. Wang Changsheng gazed into the distance, where he could see a massive mass of nine-colored thunderclouds, flashing with lightning and rumbling with thunder, as thick bolts of nine-colored immortal lightning struck down.

A white streak of light flew from afar, stopped with a flicker, and as the light receded, a graceful young woman in a white dress appeared. The young woman in white had picturesque features, her abundant dark hair styled into an immortal's bun. Her eyes were lively, and judging by her aura, she was clearly a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

“Fellow Daoists, my younger sister is attempting to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. Please do not disturb her.” The young woman in white spoke, sweeping her right hand through the air. A massive vortex appeared, emitting powerful spatial fluctuations.

“Space Law!” A flash of surprise flickered in Wang Ruyan's eyes.

The nine-colored thunderclouds churned and surged, transforming into a burly young man, who wielded a giant hammer and was surrounded by lightning.

“A lightning tribulation avatar! A Supreme.” Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were naturally no strangers to this. The Barren Immortal Realm truly lived up to its name as a Grand Immortal Realm, blessed with exceptional talents. The young woman in white, despite being only at the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, had already mastered the Law of Space. Her younger sister had also mastered a supreme law, cultivating it to great perfection during the Golden Immortal stage, which was why a lightning tribulation avatar appeared when she attempted to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. This was a desolate wilderness, and the spiritual energy here was not abundant. They were likely rogue cultivators; if they had come from an established power, they would not have attempted to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage in such a location. Of course, it was also possible they came from other immortal realms, traveling to the Barren Immortal Realm to gain opportunities.

The young man dove down from high in the sky, heading straight for a certain isolated island. A massive streak of crimson saber light shot skyward, cutting the young man in half. A huge mass of nine-colored lightning erupted on the island, causing it to tremble violently, and dust filled the air. The young woman in white looked tense, her face full of vigilance.

“Immortal, you've misunderstood. We mean no harm; we are merely passing through.” Wang Changsheng explained.

“Even if you mean no harm, you should still leave this place as soon as possible, lest my younger sister misunderstand.” The young woman in white said.

Wang Changsheng smiled and nodded. With an incantation, the green ship flew into the distance, quickly disappearing from sight.

The young woman in white let out a sigh of relief. A green streak of light flew out from the island, flickering to a stop before the young woman in white. It revealed a tall young woman in a green dress, her face pale and her aura weak, yet emanating an immense aura.

“Excellent, you've successfully advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.” The young woman in white said excitedly.

“It's all thanks to you, big sister, for obtaining so many defensive treasures. Otherwise, I would surely have been struck dead by the lightning tribulation. By the way, who were those people?” The young woman in green asked, her voice weak.

“I don't know, probably just passing through! Let's not talk about them; let's go!” The young woman in white conjured a white-glowing flying boat and stepped onto it, followed closely by the young woman in green. After emitting a dazzling white light, the white flying boat ascended high into the sky, flying in the opposite direction to Wang Changsheng.

A million li away, on the sea, Wang Tunian stood on the deck of the green ship, his eyes gleaming with yellow light.

“Master, they've left, and in the opposite direction from us. However, I've memorized her scent. Shall we pursue them?” Wang Tunian asked.

“No need. We have no grievances with them. Let them be.” Wang Changsheng said.

“To encounter a Supreme attempting to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, and even rogue cultivators at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage, in such a desolate wilderness—the Barren Immortal Realm truly lives up to its reputation as a Grand Immortal Realm.” Wang Ruyan praised.

Wang Changsheng nodded, and with an incantation, the green ship immediately glowed brightly, accelerating its speed.

Over a month later, the green ship came to a stop.

“Master, Sky-Night Market is here.” Wang Tunian said.

Wang Changsheng looked ahead and saw a massive island with numerous figures and buildings. They were currently in the Sky-Night Sea Region, and the island ahead was the location of the Sky-Night Market. According to Du Yifeng, Moonwheel Starstone had appeared here before. This material was a high-grade temporal resource, used for upgrading immortal islands.
