Chapter 4470: Strange Jade Stone

“Changqing, Yueshuo, you two stay here. I will lead the team personally to support Tianwu City. I'm leaving things here in your hands. If the Macaque of Chahar Tribe breaks the agreement and takes action itself, seek help from the Kunlun Dao Ancestor.” Nangong Dezhi instructed.

“Grand Ancestor, let me go with you! I also know Daoist techniques and can be helpful.” Nangong Yueshuo volunteered.

“No need, my presence is sufficient. You are only an early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Besides, we are just ordered to provide support; sending one Grand Unity Golden Immortal is enough. You don’t need to go.” Nangong Dezhi said.

“Grand Ancestor, please be careful. I heard that the Golden Worm King Tribe has dispatched a Great Overarching Golden Immortal who has undergone four mutations, and their strength is formidable.” Nangong Changqing said, his face full of concern.

Chaos Beasts that have mutated four times are even harder to deal with; Du Jun of the Myriad Treasures Sect serves as a clear lesson.

“I will be careful, and you two should also be very careful. I hope this conflict settles down soon. If it truly is a Dao artifact, it’s best that it doesn’t fall into the hands of the Chaos Beasts, otherwise the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda will become even more powerful.” Nangong Dezhi’s voice was heavy.

Chaos Beasts cannot use immortal artifacts or Dao artifacts, but the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda can consume high-grade artifact refining materials and Dao artifacts to strengthen itself. The stronger the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda, the greater the power of the Chaos Beasts will be.

He gave a few more instructions before leaving.

In a secluded manor, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingbai, Wang Qingcheng, Chen Yueying, Lan Fukong, and more than ten other Grand Unity Golden Immortals gathered in a green stone pavilion. After this battle, the Wang family had suffered considerable losses.

Li Tianhe and Zhou Yushan were killed in action, while five Grand Unity Golden Immortals, including Chen Yueying, Lan Fukong, and Ni Tianlong, were seriously injured. Nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals, including Wang Qingcheng and Dong Xueli, sustained minor injuries. Wang Qingcheng and the others were aided by immortal puppets of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage and supported by high-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannons; otherwise, their losses would have been much greater.

Wang Qingshan used the Law of Life to heal Chen Yueying and the others. Their lives were not in danger, but they needed to take third-tier immortal pills for recovery.

“We plan to build three more ground cities to facilitate the mining of third-tier immortal ores. For now, focus on your recovery. There will be many tasks for you to handle later.” Wang Qingshan said.

In this battle, the Wang family deployed a total of thirty thousand Immortal Armored troops, suffering significant losses. Most of the Chaos Armor was severely damaged. Fortunately, the Wang family had a large reserve of Chaos Armor, allowing for quick replenishment of losses. Deceased immortals could be resurrected using the Legacy Tablet; True Immortals would be faster, Golden Immortals slower, and Grand Unity Golden Immortals would take a very long time.

Generally, resurrecting immortals using the Legacy Tablet takes at least hundreds of thousands of years for True Immortals, millions of years for Golden Immortals, tens of millions of years for Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and hundreds of millions of years for Great Overarching Golden Immortals. If one defeats the supreme being of the Dao artifact Heaven and Earth Pagoda, they can avoid death once and choose their resurrection location after being killed, but defeating the supreme being of the Dao artifact Heaven and Earth Pagoda is extremely difficult.

“This time, we are truly grateful that Senior Nangong arrived in time. Otherwise, if the Macaque of Chahar Tribe had attacked, the two Senior Nangongs definitely couldn’t have stopped it, and that would have led to a complete rout.” Lan Fukong said with a tone of relief.

The Chahar Tribe was in full-scale war with the Nangong Immortal Clan. In a battle of this scale, Grand Unity Golden Immortals could not determine the course of the war. If a Great Overarching Golden Immortal were defeated, the losing side would suffer a complete rout. The Myriad Treasures Sect served as a bloody example.

“Indeed! Fellow Daoist Wang, did Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang lead the attack on the Karluk Tribe?” Ni Tianlong asked curiously.

The Azure Lotus Immortal Couple did not appear at all in this major battle.

“No, it was other clan members who took action, not Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt.” Wang Qingshan explained.

“Hehe, the Wang family has abundant talent. The main forces of the Karluk Tribe were fighting us on the front lines, leaving their rear vulnerable. The Wang family only needed to send a few experts to wipe them out, so why would the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple need to act?” Lan Fukong chuckled, saying proudly.

Anyone who didn’t know might have thought he was the one who wiped out the Karluk Tribe, but everyone else was already used to his boasting.

“That’s right, a mere Karluk Tribe, why would father and mother need to act personally? Just send others to do it.” Wang Qingcheng wholeheartedly agreed.

After chatting for a while, Wang Qingshan announced the end of the meeting and dismissed them to rest.

He teleported back to Azure Lotus City and found Ye Haitang and Wang Mengbin.

After a brief conversation, Wang Qingshan learned the whole story. The Karluk Tribe’s treasury contained many good items, but that was relative to other forces; the Wang family already possessed most of what was in the Karluk Tribe’s treasury.

“By the way, this is something we found in the Karluk Tribe’s treasury. It looks like an artifact refining material, but it can also emit sounds, and it was stored in a golden jade box.” Wang Mengbin took out a pale golden jade stone, its surface covered with numerous pinhole-sized pores.

Wang Qingshan took the golden jade stone. It felt remarkably light, like holding a thin piece of paper.

He gently shook the golden jade stone, and a sound like a roaring gale emanated from it.

“Zongyun and Ji Ye couldn’t identify it either?” Wang Qingshan pressed.

“No, they couldn’t! They don’t know what kind of material it is either.” Wang Mengbin replied.

With the treasures from the Karluk Tribe and Hada Tribe’s treasuries, the Wang family’s development would be much smoother. They could cultivate more Grand Unity Golden Immortals and forge more Immortal Annihilation Arrows, Immortal Annihilation Cannons, and Chaos Armor.

“Store it in the treasury; no one is to use it. When Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt return, give it to Ninth Uncle along with that Primordial Spirit Treasure!” Wang Qingshan instructed.

The Karluk Tribe specifically stored it in a jade box, so it was certainly not an ordinary material. It was likely that the Karluk Tribe didn’t know its origin either, otherwise they would have traded it with the Chahar Tribe for a sacrifice quota.

Wang Mengbin nodded, as he had thought the same.

“Try not to use Daoist techniques in the future. This time involved an element of risk, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Wang Qingshan cautioned.

Standing by the river often, one’s shoes are bound to get wet eventually. If Wang Mengbin frequently used Daoist techniques, others would eventually discover it.

Wang Mengbin nodded and said, “Understood!”

“Aunt and Uncle will surely be delighted when they learn that we’ve acquired a large territory and can build three new ground cities.” Ye Haitang said excitedly.

“Have Xinghai and the others return to Azure Lotus Island for secluded cultivation. Let’s transfer Yingjie and Hongxue here! With three more ground cities, we’re short on manpower.” Wang Qingshan said.

Wang Yingjie’s natal immortal artifact had integrated into a Primordial Spirit Treasure, making its power considerable.

If three new ground cities were built, along with Azure Lotus City, the Wang family would have four ground cities, allowing them to acquire more immortal cultivation resources. Correspondingly, city defenses would require more experts.

Wang Yingjie and Liu Hongxue had been in secluded cultivation on Azure Lotus Island for many years, so it was a good time to transfer them back to strengthen the defenses of the ground cities.

Ye Haitang and Wang Mengbin had no objections. Controlling four ground cities would allow the Wang family to develop even better.

After chatting for a while, they returned to rest.

The Wang family dispatched additional personnel from the rear, led by Wang Yingjie and Liu Hongxue, who rushed to the Chaos Continent. They established cities, set up formations, mined immortal ores, and cultivated immortal herbs and fruit trees in the territories of the Karluk and Hada Tribes, working with great fervor.
