Chapter 4545: Like Smoke Closing In to Break Through to Grand Dao Golden Immortal

"Yongqian, is there still no news regarding the Nine-Colored Chaos Beast core at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage?"

Wang Yongqian shook her head and replied, "No, we've held numerous large-scale auctions and even offered substantial bounties, but there's been no information."

After Wang Changsheng advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, the Wang family's strength grew significantly. They collaborated with their in-laws and allies to host major auctions and issue large rewards in search of a Nine-Colored Chaos Beast core at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, but still, there was no news.

"Oh! Mengbin is back," Wang Changsheng exclaimed softly, looking outside.

Just as he spoke, a silver lightning bolt flashed above Green Lotus Peak, revealing Wang Mengbin's figure. Having departed from Immortal Fallen Valley, Wang Mengbin had rushed back to Green Lotus Island at top speed.

"Come down and talk! Why are you back? Has something happened on Chaos Continent?"

Wang Mengbin landed in front of Wang Changsheng, handed him a golden storage bracelet, and then recounted the entire sequence of events.

"Immortal Lord Jade Talisman's cave of meditation! A nine-colored core! Excellent," Wang Changsheng said with approval. According to his plan, he would have waited for Wang Ruyan to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, then teamed up with her to slay a Great Luo Golden Immortal stage Nine-Colored Chaos Beast, or joined forces with Nangong Changqing to confront the Chahar Tribe. Wang Qingshan and the others obtaining a nine-colored core was an unexpected delight.

"Next time something like this happens, you still need to be more careful. And don't always stop Qingbai; he's also part of the family," Wang Changsheng said. Wang Qingshan's decision to prevent Wang Qingbai from going to Immortal Fallen Valley was well-intentioned, as no one knew what dangers they might encounter.

"Ancestor Qingshan worried something might happen to Ancestor Qingbai," Wang Mengbin explained. "He said that you, Old Ancestor, have worked hard and contributed so much to the family, so there's no need for Ancestor Qingbai to always be at the forefront; they can enjoy the benefits that follow."

Given the precedent of Wang Qingfeng being killed by Qin Xin when he and others entered the Myriad Immortals Continent for treasure hunting, Wang Qingshan and the others dared not let Wang Qingbai and Wang Qingcheng venture into dangerous places. It would be difficult to explain to Wang Changsheng if anything happened.

"Everyone is a member of the family, regardless of their contributions," Wang Changsheng said earnestly. "Those who should contribute will contribute, and those who should benefit will benefit. There's no need for special treatment for Qingbai and Qingcheng. We all contribute to the family without distinction."

He understood Wang Qingshan and the others' concerns. However, Wang Qingbai and Wang Qingcheng couldn't always remain safely in the rear simply because of his presence. Besides, with the Legacy Tablet, if anything truly happened to them, they could be revived using it.

"Understood, Old Ancestor," Wang Mengbin agreed.

"You handled this matter well," Wang Changsheng commented. "By the way, what stage is Qingshan at? Hasn't he advanced to the late stage yet?"

"Ancestor Qingshan is stuck at a bottleneck," Wang Mengbin replied truthfully. "Ancestor Qingbai, Ancestor Qingcheng, and Ancestor Haitang are all in the same situation, stuck at a bottleneck."

"Do Qingshan and the others have any plans?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"They plan to take turns traveling outside to seek opportunities and find ways to overcome their bottlenecks," Wang Mengbin replied.

Wang Changsheng nodded. "Traveling outside is a good choice," he said. "Tell them not to go to the Barren Immortal Realm; other immortal realms are fine. By the way, what about Fang Yuyao? Has she contacted us recently?"

"I will tell them," Wang Mengbin replied. "Fang Yuyao hasn't contacted us recently, and our family members in Kunlun Immortal City haven't gathered any news about her. She's probably in seclusion for cultivation."

After Wang Changsheng advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, the Wang family was able to open a shop in Kunlun Immortal City to collect cultivation resources and gather intelligence. If Fang Yuyao were to appear, the Wang family members in Kunlun Immortal City would receive news.

Wang Changsheng nodded, then inquired about Wang Mengbin's cultivation progress, to which Wang Mengbin replied truthfully.

"You can return to Green Lotus City now!" Wang Changsheng said. "Qingshan and the others will take turns traveling; they can arrange it themselves."

"Yes, Old Ancestor," Wang Mengbin agreed, and with a flash of lightning radiating from his body, he vanished from the spot.

"Yongqian, you may go," Wang Changsheng said, waving his hand to dismiss Wang Yongqian.

He entered Green Lotus Pavilion, approached a stone chamber, and sent a sound transmission talisman. Soon after, the stone chamber's door opened, and Wang Ruyan emerged with a smile.

Wang Ruyan had already advanced to the Great Perfection stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal and was preparing to attempt breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage.

"My dear, you've reached the Great Perfection stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal! Have you perfected your cultivation of laws?" Wang Changsheng asked. Both of them had simultaneously entered the late Taiyi Golden Immortal stage. It wasn't strange that Wang Changsheng had already advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage while Wang Ruyan was only at the Great Perfection stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, as everyone's situation is different.

"My laws are perfected," Wang Ruyan said. "I plan to go into seclusion on Dongyang Island to attempt breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage."

"Coincidentally, Qingshan and the others discovered Immortal Lord Jade Talisman's cave of meditation in Immortal Fallen Valley and obtained many good things," Wang Changsheng said. "This Seven-Star Talisman Brush and Purple Cloud Thunder Transformation Talisman were sent back by Mengbin. If you're attempting to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, the Purple Cloud Thunder Transformation Talisman will be just what you need. I also refined a set of high-grade defensive immortal artifacts for you." He then took out a blue storage bracelet and handed it to Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan nodded and accepted the storage bracelet.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan left Green Lotus Island and went to Dongyang Island. Wang Ruyan cultivated in the training room in the island's southwest corner, secluding herself to attempt breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage. Wang Changsheng cultivated in the training room in the northeast corner. He had already obtained the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage Nine-Colored Chaos Beast core and Phoenix Departure Herb, and now needed to find other materials and a fourth-tier immortal distiller to help brew Green Lotus Drunkenness.

On Chaos Continent, in Chahar City, within a hidden underground cave, Qu was reporting to Fu.

"What? They were all killed?" Fu's voice was filled with surprise.

"Both Wolf and Falcon had evolved three times," Qu reported. "Even with mastery of Dao Arts, it wouldn't be easy to kill them unless a Great Luo Golden Immortal made a move. You guessed correctly; it was a trap. If you had truly gone to Immortal Fallen Valley for treasure hunting, you would certainly have been ambushed."

Four Nine-Colored Chaos Beasts had gone to Immortal Fallen Valley, two of which had evolved three times. None of them managed to escape, indicating a high probability that a Great Luo Golden Immortal was responsible.

"They've all set their sights on me, truly thinking I'm a pushover," Fu said, his tone icy.

The Chahar Tribe currently had three Great Luo Golden Immortals, and Fu was indeed the easiest to manipulate. It was quite normal for Immortal Lord Taihao and the Nangong Immortal Family to set a trap for Fu.

"In the future, if you encounter similar situations, you must think twice before acting," Qu advised, "or you could easily fall into an ambush or scheme."

"A thief can't always steal, nor can one always guard against thieves," Fu said, his voice heavy. "We must find a way to deal with the Wang family and the Nangong Immortal Family, or we will sooner or later face misfortune."

The Nangong Immortal Family had previously set traps against the Chahar Tribe. This time, four Nine-Colored Chaos Beasts went to Immortal Fallen Valley for treasure hunting, and none of them returned alive. In their view, this was definitely a trap set by the Nangong Immortal Family and the Wang family specifically for Fu.

Qu nodded. While that was true, eliminating the Wang family and the Nangong Immortal Family would not be easy.
