Chapter 4547: Du Clan Immortal Race

Nine Stars Immortal Realm, Donglai Sea Region.

In a vast, boundless cerulean sea, the sky was clear, and gentle sea breezes blew.

A massive golden light erupted skyward, causing numerous cracks to appear in the void and colossal waves to surge.

Wang Qingbai, Xiahou Yao, and Bai Ling'er stood high in the sky, their expressions solemn.

The four of them had been traveling in the Nine Stars Immortal Realm for over 300,000 years. They had met many Grand Unity Golden Immortals, participated in grand events, slayed Chaos Beasts, and sparred with other Grand Unity Golden Immortals, yet their bottleneck showed no signs of loosening.

They did not lose heart and continued their travels.

The golden light dispersed, revealing Wang Qingshan's figure; his face was slightly pale.

Tens of thousands of miles opposite him, a burly young man in a golden robe stood in the void, with a pair of massive golden wings on his back, a high nose, long ears, and a powerful demonic aura.

Wang Qingshan changed his sword art, and seven flying swords, shimmering with immortal light, shot straight towards the golden-robed young man. The sea churned violently, the world seemed to change color, a massive fire cloud appeared high in the sky, and the sea split into two, simultaneously raising towering waves.

The golden-robed young man's body glowed with a brilliant golden light, and a powerful restraining force emerged from thin air, stopping the seven flying swords mid-air.

Seizing this opportunity, the golden-robed young man flapped his wings lightly, transforming into a gust of wind and vanishing.

Wang Qingshan frowned. A gust of wind suddenly rose behind him, and the golden-robed young man appeared behind Wang Qingshan, his right hand transforming into a golden bird's claw, striking directly at Wang Qingshan.

Wang Qingshan reacted quickly, his right index finger glowing brightly with a green light, meeting the golden bird's claw.

With a dull clang of metal striking metal, a bloody hole appeared in the golden bird's claw, and blood flowed incessantly.

The golden-robed young man flapped the wings on his back, vanished from his spot, and reappeared tens of thousands of miles away in the void.

"Fellow Daoist Wang has also cultivated an Immortal Physique!" the golden-robed young man exclaimed in surprise, his right hand bearing a terrifying bloody hole.

A dazzling golden light lit up in his palm, and the bloody hole healed – a self-healing physique.

"Fellow Daoist Peng, let's call this match a draw! What do you say?" Wang Qingshan said.

The golden-robed young man's name was Peng Tian, and his true form was a Golden-Winged Great Peng. His strength was formidable, and Wang Qingshan had been sparring with him.

"No problem. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Wang to not only be proficient in swordsmanship but also to have cultivated his physical body so well that he achieved an Immortal Physique. I too have cultivated an Immortal Physique, yet I couldn't even block your attack." Peng Tian said in surprise.

Wang Qingshan's physical body divine ability was very powerful. Even though both had Immortal Physiques, Peng Tian couldn't block a single attack from him. If this were a life-or-death battle, Peng Tian might have perished just now.

"Fellow Daoist Peng, you flatter me. Your self-healing divine ability is also very impressive." Wang Qingshan said modestly.

"Fellow Daoists, your cultivation is profound. Shall we return to the market city to chat?" a graceful woman in a white dress suggested, her face beaming with a smile.

Du Yuqian, from the Du family of Donglai Island.

The Du family was one of the Five Great Immortal Clans in the Nine Stars Immortal Realm. During its peak, the Du family had over a dozen Grand Luo Golden Immortals. However, after enduring multiple major calamities, their strength plummeted. In recent years, they had been in decline, and now only two Grand Luo Golden Immortals remained, barely maintaining the prestige of an Immortal Clan.

Wang Qingshan and Peng Tian nodded, and the six of them flew into the distance.

Not long after, a huge island came into view. On the island stood a massive city, with the four golden characters "Donglai Market City" written on its plaque.

They entered Donglai Market City. The streets were teeming with people, and many races could be seen: demon race, shaman race, beast-men race, with the human race being the most numerous.

They arrived at the entrance of a vast manor, where a silver plaque bore the three characters "Donglai Garden." True Immortal cultivators guarded the entrance. With Du Yuqian leading the way, the guards did not obstruct them.

Passing through three arched courtyards, a hexagonal green stone pavilion appeared before them. Three men and one woman were seated inside the pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

"Between Fellow Daoist Wang and Fellow Daoist Peng, who prevailed in their spar?" a handsome young man in a golden robe asked.

Du Yuxin, late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

"It was a draw. Fellow Daoist Wang is proficient in swordsmanship and has also cultivated an Immortal Physique," Du Yuqian said.

"Fellow Daoist Wang has cultivated an Immortal Physique!" Du Yuxin exclaimed in surprise, his face full of envy.

During the Du family's heyday, over a dozen clan members had cultivated Immortal Physiques. However, that was in the past. Now, only one clan member in the Du family has cultivated an Immortal Physique, and they are being groomed as a successor, rarely appearing in public.

"I already knew about this. Fellow Daoist Du, your Du family mainly operates in Tianwu City, so you might not know much about the Wang family. I have been to Kunlun Immortal City and heard about Fellow Daoist Wang's deeds," a medium-built old man in a green robe said.

Immortal Venerable Qingzhu. He was born a rogue cultivator and traveled extensively.

"Immortal Monarch Taihao has advanced to Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Immortal Fairy Tianqin must be close too, right?" a beautiful woman in a green dress spoke, her face full of curiosity.

Immortal Fairy Hualuo. She is a rogue cultivator, and her true form is a flower demon.

The Green Lotus Immortal Couple had been summoned by Dao Ancestor Kunlun. Both of them mastered soul laws, and their reputation preceded them.

"We are out traveling and are not clear about the situation within the clan," Wang Qingbai said.

"Immortal Fairy Tianqin must be close as well. Perhaps by the time you return to the North Sea Immortal Realm, she will have already advanced to Grand Luo Golden Immortal," Du Yuqian said with a smile, her face full of envy.

Five clan members of the Du family had cultivated to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Great Perfection stage. They consumed the Grand Profound Jade Mushroom Elixir and the Heaven-Earth Creation Elixir, but failed to open all 360 immortal apertures. They would be unable to attempt to advance to Grand Luo Golden Immortal again for several million years, their luck being as bad as it could get.

"We appreciate Immortal Fairy Du's auspicious words." Wang Qingbai smiled, his face beaming.

As the saying goes, "A man's shadow, a tree's bark." With Wang Changsheng having advanced to Grand Luo Golden Immortal, when they traveled to the Nine Stars Immortal Realm, other factions who knew they originated from the Green Lotus Wang family would look upon them favorably. Immortals from major powers in the Nine Stars Immortal Realm were also happy to befriend them.

"I still have important matters to attend to. Fellow Daoist Du, Fellow Daoist Wang, until next time." Peng Tian clasped his fists, bid farewell, and departed.

Immortal Fairy Hualuo and Immortal Venerable Qingzhu also bid their farewells, and the four members of Wang Qingshan's group also left Donglai Garden.

After leaving Donglai Garden, Wang Qingshan and his three companions dispersed, wandering leisurely through the market city.

Over half an hour later, Wang Qingshan and Bai Ling'er appeared in a vast bluestone square. There were many small stalls here, offering a dazzling array of goods.

Wang Qingshan and Bai Ling'er walked around, looking at the wares. They purchased some immortal herbs, intending to give them to Wang Qingbai for alchemy.

Wang Qingshan suddenly quickened his pace and arrived in front of a small stall. The stall owner was a somewhat hunchbacked old man in a golden robe. Judging by his aura, he was only at the Golden Immortal stage.

Many items were displayed on the stall: ores, immortal herbs, immortal wood, demonic beast materials, and so on.

Wang Qingshan picked up a piece of black-gold ore and casually asked, "How much for this item?"

The Stone Golem had already advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal. It was very interested in this ore, which was probably a high-grade refining material.

"Senior, please just offer what you deem appropriate," the golden-robed old man said with an ingratiating smile.

Bai Ling'er took out a golden storage bracelet and handed it to the golden-robed old man. The old man swept his divine sense over it and repeatedly expressed his thanks.

Wang Qingshan put away the black-gold ore, and he and Bai Ling'er continued walking forward.

They wandered around the bluestone square, purchasing some materials.

An hour later, they appeared at the entrance of a three-story green pavilion, where a plaque bore the three golden characters "Qingyun Pavilion."

Bai Ling'er took out a green token and injected immortal spiritual power into it. A green light flew out and merged into the main door, which then opened automatically. They walked inside and closed the door behind them.

Wang Qingshan took out the black-gold ore, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Husband, what kind of material is this?" Bai Ling'er asked curiously.

"It seems to be the Black Agate Jade Dragon Stone that Ninth Uncle mentioned! But it doesn't quite look like it. I'm not entirely sure, but the Stone Golem is very interested in it, so it should be a relatively valuable refining material," Wang Qingshan said.

"I wonder when we'll be able to break through our bottleneck!" Bai Ling'er sighed.

"Anyway, there's nothing pressing. Qingling and Qingxiao are in charge of Green Lotus City, and Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt are holding down Green Lotus Island. We can travel with peace of mind. We'll go back once we've broken through our bottlenecks. Who knows, maybe by the time we return, Ninth Aunt will have already advanced to Grand Luo Golden Immortal," Wang Qingshan said carelessly.

The younger generation has also grown up, so Wang Qingshan and his three companions can travel with peace of mind and resolve their bottlenecks.

"Let's hope so. The Dao artifact, Qiankun Pagoda, last appeared in the Nine Stars Immortal Realm. I wonder if it will appear here again." Bai Ling'er's face was full of curiosity.

"Who knows? It's all up to luck! It'd be great if we encounter it, but if not, then so be it." Wang Qingshan said nonchalantly.
