Chapter 4546: Like Smoke Ascends to Great Dao Golden Immortal

Three hundred thousand years passed, seasons turning.

In a secluded manor on Blue Lotus Island, Wang Moxin was reporting to Wang Yongqian, who held a golden jade box in her hand.

“A Dragon Saliva Flower over sixty million years old! Excellent!” Wang Yongqian exclaimed excitedly.

Wang Qingshan and others had obtained a Phoenix Leaving Ganoderma, over sixty million years old, from the meditation cave of the Jade Talisman Immortal Monarch. Wang Moxin had then spent a considerable sum to acquire a Dragon Saliva Flower. With these, and the crystal core of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage Nine-Colored Chaos Beast, they could now invite a fourth-rank Immortal Wine Master to help brew the Dragon Phoenix Brew.

“I've found out the whereabouts of a fourth-rank Immortal Wine Master,” Wang Moxin said. “He's currently in the Seven Star Sea Region and is particularly fond of various immortal wines.”

“A fourth-rank Immortal Wine Master? What's his background?” Wang Yongqian inquired.

“Immortal Monarch Dukang, he's from the Nine Star Immortal Realm,” Wang Moxin explained. “He's currently in the Seven Star Sea Region collecting recipes for high-grade immortal wines.”

“Immortal Monarch Dukang! From the Nine Star Immortal Realm!” Wang Yongqian nodded thoughtfully.

Wang Changming entered and reported, “Family Head, the Old Ancestor has attracted the lightning tribulation and is attempting to break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.”

“Immediately dispatch more patrols and strengthen the defenses of East Sun Island,” Wang Yongqian ordered. “We'll head over right away.”

“Yes, Family Head,” Wang Changming replied, then turned and departed.

“Let's go, to East Sun Island,” Wang Yongqian said, and together with Wang Moxin, they headed there.

A massive nine-colored thundercloud floated high above, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder. Streaks of thick, nine-colored immortal lightning struck down, illuminating the sky and land. Wherever the nine-colored immortal lightning passed, numerous cracks appeared in the void.

Wang Changsheng stood atop a high peak, gazing solemnly at the nine-colored thundercloud in the sky.

Wang Ruyan had opened all three hundred and sixty immortal apertures and was now attempting to break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Time passed slowly as thick, nine-colored immortal lightning bolts continued to strike down with immense power.

More than half an hour later, the nine-colored thundercloud vanished. A voluptuous woman in a red dress stood high in the sky, her body enveloped by countless nine-colored electric arcs.

“Immortal Fairy Ni Huang!” Wang Moxin exclaimed in surprise.

“You know her?” Wang Yongqian asked curiously.

“I met her many years ago. I heard she mastered the law of time. I haven't seen her in over a million years, so I didn't expect her to have died during a lightning tribulation,” Wang Moxin explained.

It seemed Immortal Fairy Ni Huang had been struck down while attempting to reach the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm; otherwise, the lightning tribulation wouldn't have taken on her form.

Immortal Fairy Ni Huang plunged from the sky, hurtling directly towards a steep peak.

A wave of immortal music resonated, and streaks of blue sound waves swept forth to meet Immortal Fairy Ni Huang.

The blue sound waves were like paper, easily shattered by Immortal Fairy Ni Huang. However, their sheer number was overwhelming and endless. After she had destroyed dozens of them, Immortal Fairy Ni Huang was still engulfed by the dense blue sound waves. Her body exploded, transforming into a massive ball of nine-colored lightning that engulfed nearly half of East Sun Island, shaking the earth and mountains, and filling the sky with smoke and dust.

Before the smoke and dust could clear, an astonishing spiritual pressure surged skyward. The sea water churned and swelled, accompanied by a continuous chorus of immortal music.

As the smoke cleared, Wang Ruyan's face was slightly pale. She wore a high-grade Chaos Armor, which showed several fine cracks on its surface.

On Wang Ruyan's body, three hundred and sixty sparkling points of light were visible—her immortal apertures.

Ripples appeared in the void above her head, and a nine-colored light gate materialized. The gate slowly opened, and a stream of nine-colored immortal light swept out, enveloping Wang Ruyan.

She could clearly feel her vital energy significantly strengthened, her physical body noticeably enhanced, and her soul power simultaneously increasing.

A dazzling blue light emanated from Wang Ruyan's glabella, and a fine blue thread shot out, signifying the crystallization of her soul.

She exhaled a long breath and a look of joy spread across her face.

Wang Changsheng descended from the sky and landed before Wang Ruyan.

“How are you, my dear?” Wang Changsheng asked, his face full of concern.

“I'm fine,” Wang Ruyan replied. “The Purple Cloud Thunder Transformation Talisman blocked many of the lightning tribulations, but the set of high-grade immortal artifacts you refined for me is ruined.”

Compared to Wang Changsheng, her tribulation was smoother, not because the lightning's power was weaker, but because the family had prepared many items for her. Among them, the Purple Cloud Thunder Transformation Talisman had blocked several lightning bolts, significantly reducing the pressure on Wang Ruyan. This was only the tribulation for breaking through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal; if one were attempting to reach the Dao Ancestor realm, the lightning's power would be even greater. It was no wonder that many Grand Luo Golden Immortals attempting to become Dao Ancestors were struck dead by the lightning tribulation.

“It's fine if they're ruined, as long as you're safe,” Wang Changsheng said, a joyous expression on his face. With this, the Wang family now had two Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

Wang Yongqian and Wang Moxin hurried over to congratulate Wang Ruyan.

“Old Ancestor, Immortal Monarch Dukang from the Nine Star Immortal Realm has appeared in the Seven Star Sea Region, seeking recipes for high-grade immortal wines,” Wang Yongqian asked. “Should we invite him over? We recently acquired a Dragon Saliva Flower that's over sixty million years old.”

“Immortal Monarch Dukang! Invite him to Blue Lotus Island as my guest, in my name,” Wang Changsheng instructed. “Tell him I possess a recipe for a fourth-rank immortal wine.”

“Yes, Old Ancestor,” Wang Yongqian replied. “Moxin, please make the effort to go.”

“No problem, I'll set off right away!” Wang Moxin agreed, accepting the order before departing.

“Has Qingshan not returned from his travels yet?” Wang Changsheng inquired.

“Not yet,” Wang Yongqian replied. “Old Ancestor Qingshan, Old Ancestor Ling'er, Old Ancestor Qingbai, and Old Ancestor Xiahou Yao went on their travels together. They're in the Nine Star Immortal Realm and there's been no news from them yet. Oh, and Old Ancestor Qingling has advanced to the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.”

When Wang Qingling was resurrected, she was only in the Nascent Soul stage. Now, her cultivation speed is surpassed only by Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, leaving other clan members behind. This is not surprising, as Wang Qingling is not alone in her cultivation.

When Wang Qingxiao's cultivation improves, Wang Qingling also benefits, and vice versa. They progress together, a synergy that other clan members cannot match.

“What about Qingxiao?” Wang Changsheng asked.

“He's still in the mid-Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, not far from the late stage,” Wang Yongqian replied. “They are responsible for overseeing Blue Lotus City.”

“It seems Qingling might reach Grand Luo Golden Immortal before Qingshan and the others,” Wang Ruyan said with a smile.

“Advancing to Grand Luo Golden Immortal isn't that easy,” Wang Changsheng said. “Let's first prepare immortal elixirs like the Supreme Profound Jade Ganoderma Pills and defensive treasures for them!”

“Yongqian, dispatch people to collect Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Crystals and Nine Star Jade Scale Stones, and issue a substantial reward for them,” Wang Ruyan instructed.

Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Crystal is a core material for refining the Purple Cloud Thunder Transformation Talisman. Wang Qingshan and others had obtained the refining methods for three types of fourth-rank immortal talismans, including the Purple Cloud Thunder Transformation Talisman, from the Jade Talisman Immortal Monarch's meditation cave.

The Nine Star Jade Scale Stone is a core material for refining the Nine Star Heavenly Yuan Talisman, which is a fourth-rank defensive immortal talisman. Its refining method comes from the *Immortal Talisman Secret Manual*, which she acquired from the Dao artifact, the Qiankun Pagoda. This manual contains refining methods for immortal talismans from the first to the fourth rank.

Now that Wang Ruyan had reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm and possessed the Seven Star Talisman Brush, she could attempt to refine fourth-rank immortal talismans as soon as the necessary materials were gathered.

With Wang Changsheng capable of refining artifacts and Wang Ruyan skilled in crafting talismans, their assistance would make it easier for other clan members to withstand lightning tribulations when attempting to reach the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

“Yes, Old Ancestor,” Wang Yongqian confirmed.

After giving a few instructions, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan left East Sun Island and returned to Blue Lotus Island.
