Chapter 4498: Crisis Reappears (None Today)

Wang Changsheng is currently at the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Once he cultivates to the complete Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, he can consider attempting to break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal. He now needs to find immortal elixirs, medicines, and high-tier defensive immortal artifacts to assist him in this breakthrough.

He already possesses the Lightning Cloud Immortal Fruit and a top-grade Chaos Armor. His Qianyu Shield is severely damaged and difficult to repair.

He only knows that the lightning tribulation for breaking through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal is exceptionally powerful, but its exact magnitude is unclear. Therefore, the more high-tier immortal artifacts he can acquire, the better.

Wang Changsheng has many rare refining materials, so refining a top-grade defensive immortal artifact would not be difficult. Integrating a Primordial Spirit Treasure into a defensive immortal artifact would significantly enhance its defensive power. However, he views the Primordial Spirit Treasure as his last resort for survival and will not use it easily.

A perfected Supreme Law can contend with Dao Arts, while a well-developed Law cannot withstand them.

With his Law perfected, Wang Changsheng's strength has significantly increased.

Wang Changsheng stood up and walked out. As soon as he stepped out of the secret chamber, he heard a joyful zither melody, as if it were narrating a great celebratory event.

Wang Changsheng exited the Green Lotus Hall. Wang Ruyan was seated at the entrance of the hall, intently playing a green guqin placed before her.

After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the music faded.

"Husband, Qingfeng has been resurrected," Wang Ruyan said excitedly.

"How do you know? Did someone from the clan come to inform us?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"Not exactly. I carry a Divine Machine Immortal Lord statue with me. I occasionally chat with Qingfeng through it. For a while, no matter how I tried to communicate with the statue, it didn't respond. Qingfeng has most likely been resurrected," Wang Ruyan explained.

After Wang Qingfeng's resurrection, all Divine Machine Immortal Lord statues became completely inert.

"That's wonderful! Perhaps by the time we return, Qingfeng will have advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage." Wang Changsheng was overjoyed; good news always lifts one's spirits.

"Oh, by the way, my dear, have you perfected your Law?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Not yet. My Law Tree has only grown to ninety-eight zhang," Wang Ruyan explained. Then, realizing something, she added, "Husband, have you perfected your Law?"

Wang Changsheng nodded. "That's right," he said. "If I encounter Immortal Lord Lieyang again, even if I can't defeat him, I won't be in such a desperate state."

"That's excellent! It seems today is a day of double blessings," Wang Ruyan said, her face beaming with smiles.

Wang Mengli flew from a distance, appearing before them in a flash.

"Master, Mistress, Bagua Immortal Venerable of the Moon Veil Palace has mastered the Law of Destiny. He is a diviner, and Immortal Lord Lieyang is highly likely to ask for his help. The Moon Veil Palace also has a Grand Luo Golden Immortal," Wang Mengli reported.

"Moon Veil Palace! Bagua Immortal Venerable." Wang Changsheng frowned.

"Chuanming has already sent people to investigate this person's situation. Any new information will be reported to me immediately," Wang Mengli added.

"Immortal Lord Lieyang is truly troublesome; he won't give up on us," Wang Ruyan said with a frown.

If they don't resolve this issue, they won't dare to return to the North Sea Immortal Realm. It would be disastrous if they led Immortal Lord Lieyang back there.

"He probably values the two Dao Arts I used. It's no wonder he's unwilling to give up. He's just an ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal; he hasn't perfected his Law, nor has he mastered Supreme Laws or Dao Arts, let alone cultivated an Immortal Body. If he were to master two Dao Arts, his strength would indeed significantly increase," Wang Changsheng said.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want Qingxuan to intervene. Firstly, frequent interventions by Qingxuan would draw the attention of more Grand Luo Golden Immortals to Wang Changsheng. Without witnessing it themselves, other Grand Luo Golden Immortals wouldn't believe Immortal Lord Lieyang's exaggerated claims that a Taiyi Golden Immortal possessed a treasure capable of summoning a lightning tribulation. If Qingxuan were to act again, it would confirm those suspicions. Secondly, Qingxuan's frequent actions could easily allow powerful beings to divine their location, which would be even more problematic.

"Even so, if it weren't for him, we could have left the Savage Immortal Realm and returned to the North Sea Immortal Realm long ago," Wang Ruyan said, her face filled with murderous intent. She utterly detested Immortal Lord Lieyang.

Qin Xin killed Wang Qingfeng, and Immortal Lord Lieyang has been searching for them ever since.

With new grudges added to old ones, their animosity with Immortal Lord Lieyang was irreconcilable.

"We'll face challenges as they come. Bagua Immortal Venerable might not necessarily make a divination. Let's wait and see. If he does intervene, then he shouldn't blame us for being impolite," Wang Changsheng said.

He instructed Wang Mengli and others to spread false rumors, claiming that Immortal Lord Lieyang and Fang Yuyao colluded with Chaos Beasts and attempted to harm Taiyi Golden Immortal diviners. Whether the outside world believed it or not wasn't important; as long as it had some effect, Wang Changsheng would be satisfied.

"My dear, you should first go into seclusion to cultivate your Law. I can handle this matter," Wang Changsheng said.

Wang Ruyan nodded and turned to enter the Green Lotus Hall.

Golden Kun Sea Domain, Golden Kun Market.

At Golden Fence Pavilion, Lin Xin was reporting to Wang Chuanming.

"Senior Song, it's been investigated. Here is information on Bagua Immortal Venerable, and also on the Taiyi Golden Immortal who requested his help." Lin Xin took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Wang Chuanming.

Wang Chuanming swept his divine sense over it, nodded, and said, "I'm an easy person to get along with. If you work for me, I won't mistreat you. What I detest most are traitors. When I ask you to do something, I don't want other Taiyi Golden Immortals to know about it. Understand?"

"Understood. Loyalty to the Underworld Palace first requires loyalty to Senior Song," Lin Xin replied, grasping the implication. No superior wants their subordinates to pass information to others.

Wang Chuanming nodded in satisfaction, gave a few instructions, and dismissed Lin Xin.

He entered a secret chamber where mysterious runes were carved into the stone walls.

Wang Chuanming took out a golden, shimmering Immortal Transmission Mirror, cast a spell into it, and Wang Mengli's face appeared on its surface.

"It's been investigated. Bagua Immortal Venerable has a younger brother who has cultivated to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage and is currently active in the Moon Veil Market. Bagua Immortal Venerable has no Dao companion; he is devoted to cultivation. If you want to deal with him, his younger brother is the key. Also, disciples from the Haotian Palace have been frequently active lately, seemingly searching for something. I'm still investigating that," Wang Chuanming reported.

"Understood. Be extra careful, and prioritize your own safety," Wang Mengli said.

"Understood," Wang Chuanming affirmed, ended the communication, and walked out.

Moon Veil Island, Moon Veil Hall.

Yu Qiuya sat on the main seat, with Immortal Lord Lieyang and Fang Yuyao seated on either side.

A burly young man in a golden robe stood nearby; he was Bagua Immortal Venerable.

"I know this person has mastered two Dao Arts. Can you divine his whereabouts based on this information?" Immortal Lord Lieyang asked.

"Theoretically, yes. However, the Immortal Realm is vast, and there might be more than one person who has mastered both these Dao Arts simultaneously. Furthermore, you don't know the names of the arts, only that they are Dao Arts, which makes it difficult for me to divine. It could even be a secret art," Bagua Immortal Venerable replied.

"Then forget it. Let's divine Shen Ting's whereabouts instead!" Immortal Lord Lieyang said. They had quickly gathered eighty percent of the required items, and Yu Qiuya had agreed to help.

"Nephew Yang, be careful not to be ambushed by the diviner behind this person," Yu Qiuya cautioned.

"Yes, Aunt Yu," Bagua Immortal Venerable affirmed, accepted the order, and departed.
