Chapter 4548: Starshine Divine Crystal

Chaos Continent, Kunlun Immortal City.

Strictly speaking, Kunlun Immortal City is a massive island, also known as Immortal Island. A specific area of Kunlun Immortal Island has been designated for visiting cultivators to conduct business and reside. This area is what is called Kunlun Immortal City. The island itself is home to over ten permanent Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

Inside Kunlun City, the streets are wide and clean, lined with numerous shops, and bustling with people.

An eighteen-story cyan pavilion, bearing the three large cyan characters 'Cyan Lotus Pavilion' on its plaque, saw a constant stream of cultivators entering and exiting.

This was a shop established by the Wang family, offering a wide array of goods, including high-grade Chaos Armor, high-grade immortal artifacts, third-tier immortal puppets, third-tier immortal talismans, and third-tier immortal pills.

On the fifteenth floor, Wang Ruixue and Yue Wei were seated around a cyan tea table, engaged in conversation.

"Madam Yue, are you looking for Ancestor Qiulin?"

Wang Ruixue was a bit confused. Having advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, she was now responsible for managing the family's affairs on the Chaos Continent.

"Is it inconvenient?" Yue Wei asked, knowing that with Wang Changsheng's recent advancement to Grand Luo Golden Immortal, the Wang family's status was far different from before.

"Not really, it's just that Ancestor Qiulin is in life-and-death seclusion on Cyan Lotus Island. You would need to travel there yourself, and I can't guarantee his availability. Alternatively, perhaps Zhijie could assist," Wang Ruixue said.

Wang Qiulin was currently cultivating on Cyan Lotus Island, and Wang Ruixue genuinely had no idea of his specific whereabouts. Given the Wang family's current strength and standing, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal seeking Wang Qiulin for divination or foresight would require more than a mere trifle. Wang Zhijie, who had also advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, was a diviner, having received extensive guidance from Wang Qiulin.

"He won't be able to help with this. Never mind, since he's on Cyan Lotus Island, I'll go there myself. I'll take my leave now, Madam Wang." Yue Wei rose to depart.

Wang Ruixue took out a white magic disk, cast a spell into it, and her brows furrowed. She raised her right hand, and a white light screen instantly appeared, enveloping her body.

"Senior Fang Yuyao has appeared?" Wang Ruixue asked. The family's high command had instructed her to keep an eye out for news regarding Fang Yuyao, though the reason wasn't disclosed.

"No, her disciple appeared, went to a teahouse, and then returned to their dwelling," a man's voice sounded.

"Understood. Notify me immediately when she officially appears!" Wang Ruixue instructed.

"Yes, Ancestor Ruixue." The man agreed.

Wang Ruixue put away the magic disk, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Haotian Pavilion, Fang Yuyao's residence.

Fang Yuyao sat on the main seat, her expression solemn. A well-built young woman in a white dress, with a respectful demeanor, was reporting to Fang Yuyao.

"Immortal Monarch Jiugong has mastered the Law of Fate! Is that true!" Fang Yuyao asked.

"I'm not sure. He hasn't made an appearance in many years; rumor has it he's in life-and-death seclusion," said Bai Yubing, Fang Yuyao's disciple, who was at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

"Understood. Investigate Immortal Monarch Taihao's movements. I need to know where he has traveled, and this must be done discreetly. Go to Jinxiao City and buy information from the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, ensuring no one learns you are investigating him," Fang Yuyao instructed.

Immortal Monarch Taihao had advanced from Grand Unity Golden Immortal to Grand Luo Golden Immortal in less than three million years. While his grandson mastering the Law of Fate might seem insignificant to others, Fang Yuyao viewed it differently. She had not forgotten the Grand Unity Golden Immortal who escaped Immortal Monarch Lieyang. That cultivator had suddenly enlisted a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who not only mastered the Law of Fate but also possessed Daoist techniques. During that period, neither Immortal Monarch Taihao nor Immortal Monarch Jiugong had made an appearance, which made them somewhat suspicious.

"Yes, Master." Bai Yubing assented and departed to carry out the order.

"Could it be you, Immortal Monarch Taihao? I hope I'm merely overthinking things," Fang Yuyao murmured to herself. After a moment of contemplation, she retrieved a golden, shimmering magic disk, cast a spell into it, and instructed, "Nephew Li, return to the Barbarian Immortal Realm immediately. Have Junior Brother Liu come to Kunlun Immortal City on the Chaos Continent. Tell him I have an urgent matter for him."

"Yes, Martial Aunt Fang," a respectful male voice sounded.

Fang Yuyao put away the golden magic disk, her willowy brows tightly furrowed. Immortal Monarch Lieyang had memorized the aura of that Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and auras are notoriously difficult to alter. Whether Immortal Monarch Taihao was the person they sought would become clear the moment Immortal Monarch Lieyang met him.

Cyan Lotus City, a secluded manor.

Wang Qingling, Wang Qingxiao, Liu Hongxue, and Blood River Divine Monarch were gathered around a cyan tea table, sipping tea and conversing.

"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, are you feeling better?" Wang Qingling asked with concern.

"Having taken the immortal pills refined by Madam Wang, I'm perfectly fine now. Many thanks," Blood River Divine Monarch said gratefully. Liu Hongxue had administered various healing immortal pills to him, leading to a swift recovery for Blood River Divine Monarch.

"Had you not provided the information, we would never have known the whereabouts of the Karma Bead, so it was the least we could do. Fellow Daoist Dongfang, what are your plans? Would you be interested in working for our Wang family?" Wang Qingling said sincerely.

"Thank you for your kindness, Immortaless Wang. I am accustomed to working alone, but should I acquire any valuable items, I will certainly prioritize the Wang family," Blood River Divine Monarch said earnestly.

"Since Fellow Daoist Dongfang has other plans, we respect your decision. Should you ever require our assistance, please do not hesitate to ask," Wang Qingling said.

"Indeed. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't impose any longer. Farewell." Blood River Divine Monarch rose to depart.

"Hongxue, please see Fellow Daoist Dongfang off for me," Wang Qingling instructed.

Liu Hongxue assented and personally escorted Blood River Divine Monarch out.

Wang Yixin and Profound Spirit Celestial Venerable descended, landing before Wang Qingling and Wang Qingxiao.

"Ancestor Qingling, Fellow Daoist Xu says he has an important matter to discuss with you," Wang Yixin said.

Wang Qingling nodded, then, sensing the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Profound Spirit Celestial Venerable, exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you've advanced to the late stage! Congratulations!"

"It was merely a stroke of luck. Compared to Senior Wang, my progress is far too slow. By the way, I've acquired a Starry Divine Crystal and would like to exchange it for some items." Profound Spirit Celestial Venerable produced a crystal that glowed with continuous silver light, emanating a powerful stellar fluctuation.

"A Starry Divine Crystal! What does Fellow Daoist Xu desire?" A flicker of surprise crossed Wang Qingling's eyes. This material was capable of refining supreme-grade immortal artifacts.

"One high-grade Chaos Armor and a bottle of Blood Infant Jade Apricot Pills, refined with eight-colored crystal cores, how does that sound?" Profound Spirit Celestial Venerable asked.

"No problem! Yixin, go to the treasury and retrieve them." Wang Qingling agreed. Wang Qingbai was currently away on his travels, and Liu Hongxue was in charge of refining third-tier immortal pills, which included the Blood Infant Jade Apricot Pills. As Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingbai were both absent, Wang Qingling had the authority to make the decision.

"Yes, Ancestor Qingling." Wang Yixin agreed and left to carry out the order.

Shortly after, Wang Yixin returned, carrying a golden storage bracelet which she handed to Profound Spirit Celestial Venerable. Profound Spirit Celestial Venerable swept his divine sense over it, a look of delight spreading across his face, and promptly tucked it into his robes.

"Many thanks, Immortaless Wang." Profound Spirit Celestial Venerable handed the Starry Divine Crystal to Wang Qingling, bid farewell, and departed.
