Chapter 4568: Xuе Tang Fairy

"Where would there be so many Dao artifacts? Such claims are too numerous; they are merely tactics used by hostile forces to divert attention."

Mu Yan dismissed it. For millennia, many factions and high-level immortals have been linked to Dao artifacts through false rumors, none of which have ever been confirmed. Even the full-scale war between the Golden Worm King Tribe and Heavenly Witch City was initially said to be about finding a Dao artifact, but it turned out to be nothing of the sort.

"Indeed! How could Dao artifacts be so common? If it were an ultimate immortal artifact refined into a Primordial Spirit Treasure, I might believe it, but calling it a Dao artifact is just too far-fetched." Huangfu Yu said.

Nangong Yueshuo took out a golden, shimmering Dharma disk, cast a spell into it, and with a delighted expression, said, "Reverend Qingyi from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect is here."

"Reverend Qingyi! Is she the newly ascended Grand Luo Golden Immortal of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect?" Wang Changsheng asked.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect had recently gained Reverend Qingyi as a new Grand Luo Golden Immortal. As they were not familiar with her, they had sent Taiyi Golden Immortals to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect to offer congratulations.

"That's right. I've sent someone to invite her over. Let's chat together," Nangong Yueshuo said.

This time, many Grand Luo Golden Immortals from all corners of the world had come to the Kunlun Dharma Assembly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a tall, slender Buddhist nun, dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, approached. Her aura was as vast as the ocean.

"This humble nun, Qingyi, greets all fellow Daoists." The white-robed nun pressed her palms together and spoke courteously.

"Reverend Qingyi, I am Wang Changsheng. Has Zen Master Mingren not arrived?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Senior Brother Mingren is out and has not yet returned," Reverend Qingyi explained.

"He's out! No wonder." Wang Changsheng suddenly understood.

Nangong Yueshuo invited Reverend Qingyi to sit, and everyone enjoyed tea and casual conversation.

When the conversation turned to opening ten apertures, Reverend Qingyi said, "Immortal Xu has opened ten apertures. She is currently in Kunlun Immortal City. If you're interested, you can talk to her."

"Immortal Xu? Which Immortal Xu?" Huangfu Yu paused slightly, surprised.

"Immortal Xuetang! She arrived in Kunlun Immortal City at the same time as me, but she was invited away by Immortal Longyue," Reverend Qingyi said.

"I've long heard that some fellow Daoists can open ten apertures, but I haven't met one yet. It would be great to get to know Immortal Xu and ask her about opening ten apertures. I wonder what's special about it. Does it mean mastering an additional Supreme Law? Or are there other divine abilities?" Jin Gangzi's face was full of curiosity.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan also wanted to meet Grand Luo Golden Immortals who had opened ten apertures, to exchange insights and see what differences there were among them.

"Since Immortal Xu is in Kunlun Immortal City, I believe we'll have a chance to meet her," Nangong Yueshuo said.

After more than two hours of casual conversation, Wang Changsheng and the others gradually departed.

As they left the Heavenly Phoenix Pavilion, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan happened to see Liu Qian and Myriad Beast Immortal Monarch passing by the entrance. It was Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's first time seeing Liu Qian and Myriad Beast Immortal Monarch in person; they had only seen their portraits before. They did not greet each other, nor did Liu Qian or Myriad Beast Immortal Monarch speak, pretending not to see them. The four walked in opposite directions.

As soon as they returned to the Green Lotus Garden, Wang Qingbai came over and said, "Father, Mother, Immortal Longyue sent Immortal Guihua to invite you to Longyue Garden. She said she wants to introduce you to an esteemed senior."

"Introduce a senior? Could it be Immortal Xuetang?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.

"Immortal Guihua didn't say, just that she was inviting you over," Wang Qingbai said.

Wang Changsheng nodded and, with Wang Ruyan, went to Longyue Garden. Immortal Guihua had been waiting for a long time and invited them in.

Immortal Longyue was seated in a green stone pavilion with a shapely young woman in a white dress, enjoying tea and light conversation.

"Immortal Xu, allow me to introduce you. These are Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang. Immortal Xu has heard of your deeds and wished to meet you both," Immortal Longyue introduced.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stated their names and took their seats.

"While I was active in the territory of Heavenly Witch City, I heard about the deeds of you two fellow Daoists. Meeting you today, you truly live up to your reputation," Immortal Xuetang praised.

The Green Lotus Immortal Couple were dual cultivation partners who had supported each other, progressed together, developed their family, and elevated the Wang family from a small clan to an immortal clan. This was no ordinary feat. Most importantly, the Kunlun Dao Ancestor had summoned them, which further spread the tales of the Green Lotus Immortal Couple.

"Immortal Xu, you flatter us," Wang Changsheng said, curious. "I heard you've opened ten apertures? Could you perhaps enlighten us? What's the difference between opening ten apertures and nine?"

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you must be familiar with combined attack techniques, right? Generally, multiple immortals must act simultaneously to unleash such techniques, merging laws to attack the enemy. With ten apertures opened, a single person can merge laws to attack enemies. Ten-colored Chaos Beasts can also do this, but they are too rare. Unlike us immortals, who can merge multiple laws by cultivating the ten-aperture opening technique," Immortal Xuetang slowly explained.

"Ten-colored Chaos Beasts can also merge laws?" Wang Ruyan was a little surprised.

"Yes, that's right! However, there aren't many ten-colored Chaos Beasts. The Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda can't cultivate many of them. In comparison, there are more immortals who have opened ten apertures," Immortal Xuetang explained.

"I heard that Grand Luo Golden Immortals who have opened ten apertures can master multiple Supreme Laws! Immortal Xu, I presume you've also mastered multiple Supreme Laws?" Wang Changsheng pressed.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you do joke. I've only mastered one Supreme Law. All the Grand Luo Golden Immortals I know who have opened ten apertures have only mastered one Supreme Law. Perhaps someone can master two Supreme Laws, but that might just be a rumor," Immortal Xuetang said.

"It's probably a misunderstanding spread by word of mouth. I also know many Grand Luo Golden Immortals who have opened ten apertures, and I haven't heard of them comprehending multiple Supreme Laws. Mastering one Supreme Law and being able to merge multiple other laws is already very impressive," Immortal Longyue said.

"If only there were a secret method for opening ten apertures," Wang Changsheng said, his face full of envy.

It seemed that he and Wang Ruyan were in a rather special situation. Was it because they cultivated the *Profound Infant Aperture Opening Great Law*? Or the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron? Or was it something unique to them personally? He wasn't sure. Perhaps by interacting more with Grand Luo Golden Immortals who had opened ten apertures, he might find out.

"Immortal Xu, have you ever fought a ten-colored Chaos Beast?" Wang Ruyan pressed.

"I have fought one before, and I gained a slight advantage, but killing a ten-colored Chaos Beast is still very difficult. There wasn't an opportunity to finish it. Powerful Tier 4 immortal talismans, complete sets of ultimate immortal artifacts, and some potent Dao arts can all play a significant role. The ten-colored Chaos Beast is already in its ultimate form; it cannot evolve further, only improve its cultivation realm at most," Immortal Xuetang said.

"Difficult doesn't mean impossible to kill. The Qiankun Dao Ancestor once slew a ten-colored Chaos Beast when he was a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. It's a pity he died in the Immortal-Chaos War," Immortal Longyue said with a tone of regret.
