Chapter 620: Migration of the Tribe, Expanding Territories

A blue streak of light appeared in the sky, rapidly flying towards Green Lotus Villa. Soon after, the blue light stopped, revealing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

"Finally, we're back." Wang Changsheng let out a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.

After submitting the Ice Carp Beast's core, they successfully obtained the lease. Cancer Island and Sea Cucumber Island would be managed by the Wang family for the next five hundred years. After hosting a banquet for Chen Yilong and his wife, they rushed back to the Eastern Desolate Lands without delay. Teleporting one person cost eight thousand spirit stones, which was too expensive. They planned to take fifty clan members to the South Sea to expand their territory.

As soon as Wang Changsheng and his wife returned to Green Lotus Villa, Wang Qingkai informed them of Wang Changhuan's death. Upon hearing this news, Wang Changsheng sighed deeply. There were already few clan members of the "Chang" generation. Wang Changhuan could have lived for several more decades, but he couldn't endure the torment of malevolent qi and sought death.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had spent ten years in the South Sea this time. They had inquired about spiritual items that could neutralize true malevolent qi but found none. There were no instances of cultivators in the South Sea cultivation world forming their foundation with earth malevolent qi; this method of foundation formation had originated from the Northern Frontier. The best way to neutralize earth malevolent qi was to absorb celestial gang qi, creating a yin-yang confluence. However, one needed to cultivate to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment to absorb celestial gang qi. Currently, Wang Qiuming was the only clan member who had formed his foundation using earth malevolent qi. Wang Changsheng hoped he wouldn't follow in Wang Changhuan's footsteps.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan went to Wang Changhuan's mourning hall to offer incense. Wang Qingkai reported on the family's situation over the years to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Wang Changsheng was very pleased to learn that Wang Qingshan had been accepted as an unregistered disciple by a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

"Qingshan is a good child; he didn't disappoint me after all. Has he come out of seclusion?"

According to Wang Changsheng's original plan, he intended to help Mo Caiyun attempt Core Formation first, then Wang Qingshan, as Mo Caiyun had already reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. Wang Qingshan had refused to be taken as a disciple by the Nascent Soul cultivator, choosing instead to remain with the family due to his strong sense of belonging. Wang Changsheng changed his mind and decided to help Wang Qingshan attempt Core Formation first, considering Wang Qingshan's clear potential.

"No, Qingshan went into secluded cultivation after the Dao Discussion Conference. Oh, by the way, Uncle Mingren came back. He originally wanted to ask for your and Aunt Nine's help, but since you weren't here, he went to the Demon Suppressing Nation. Qingjun and others helped Uncle Mingren apprehend evil cultivators, but they only caught two Foundation Establishment stage evil cultivators."

Wang Changsheng was puzzled. "Apprehending evil cultivators? Why would Uncle Mingren take on such a task?"

"I don't know. Uncle Mingren has already cultivated to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. He said it was in preparation for Core Formation."

Wang Changsheng suddenly understood, nodding. "We'll make time to visit Taoshan. Qingjun, we've leased two islands in the South Sea and plan to take fifty clan members there. Select a group of clan members: ten at Foundation Establishment and forty at Qi Refinement. It would be best to include couples for procreation. Also, bring Aunt Twenty-One; she's already at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and if conditions allow, we'll help her attempt Core Formation."

After giving a few instructions to Wang Qingjun, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan left. They went to Wang Changyue's residence and teleported to Red Leaf Ridge.

Not seeing Ye Lin and his wife in the basement, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan went outside. Ye Lin was holding a delicate, doll-like baby girl in his arms, and Wang Changyue was doting on her. Both had blissful smiles on their faces. Seeing this scene, Wang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Ye Lin and Wang Changyue had a strong relationship.

"Changyue, brother-in-law, we're back. Is this my nephew?" Wang Changsheng said with a smile, walking towards them.

"Brother, you've returned at just the right time. This is your niece, Ye Haitang."

"Come here, let Uncle hold you. Ye Haitang, that's a nice name."

Wang Changyue chuckled and teased, "My husband originally wanted to name her Ye Hongdou, but I said what kind of girl has a name like that?"

"Changyue, if I'm not mistaken, you love red bean paste cakes the most. Your husband chose this name because of you, didn't he? Only your husband would dare to pick a name like that."

Ye Lin gave an awkward smile and said, "I think Ye Hongdou sounds quite nice. If our second child is a girl, we'll name her Ye Hongdou. If it's a boy, we'll name him Ye Yutong."

After a brief chat, Wang Changsheng handed the baby girl to Wang Changyue and told Ye Lin that they had leased two islands in the South Sea and planned to bring people there for development. Wang Changsheng hoped that Ye Lin's family of three would go. Ye Lin was a third-rank high-grade formation master and could help set up third-rank formations and a medium-sized teleportation array to connect the two islands, facilitating support, and also upgrading the islands' spiritual veins.

"The South Sea? The cultivation resources there are indeed abundant, but it's very chaotic. Our Nine Underworld Sect once established a branch there, and in less than ten years, seven Core Formation cultivators died." Ye Lin said with a frown. From his tone, he did not approve of the Wang family developing in the South Sea.

"The South Sea is indeed chaotic, but one must seek wealth in danger. Precisely because it's chaotic, there are more cultivation resources, and a good number of Core Formation rogue cultivators there." After experiencing the prosperity of the South Sea cultivation world, Wang Changsheng felt that the Eastern Desolate Lands were too limited. People living by the mountains live off the mountains, and those by the water live off the water. The human race in the Eastern Desolate Lands did not occupy much territory, and the Wang family's territory was not large. Now, they had leased two islands, and any one of them was larger than their entire territory in the Eastern Desolate Lands.

Ye Lin frowned. To be honest, he liked his current life and was tired of fighting. After having a child, his desire for revenge had faded. Now, he just wanted to focus on raising Ye Haitang and didn't want to travel around constantly.

"With the family's territory expanding, Haitang will also have more places to go in the future. We can't expect her to stay in the Eastern Desolate Lands her entire life, can we? Besides, setting up formations counts as a meritorious deed, and the accumulated merit points can be saved for Haitang," Wang Changyue said.

As soon as she spoke, Ye Lin immediately agreed, "Alright! Since Changyue has spoken, if I don't agree, I'll be in trouble tonight. So, I'll go with my brother-in-law and accumulate some merit points for Haitang."

"Changyue's words are truly effective. From now on, I'll just ask Changyue directly," Wang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, chuckling playfully. Ye Lin was already his brother-in-law, so naturally, he couldn't force him to do things. Ye Haitang had just been born, and asking them to go to the South Sea now was indeed not ideal.

"I think it's our niece whose words are effective. This child's achievements will surely surpass her father's in the future," Wang Ruyan chimed in.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ye Lin's face, and he looked at Ye Haitang with overflowing tenderness.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan left, teleporting back to Green Lotus Villa. Wang Changsheng went to the Scripture Repository, preparing to place some cultivation techniques there. They had killed a Core Formation cultivator and found a sword art spiritual technique, along with three Profound-grade cultivation methods, in the storage bag.

*The Vastness Art*, a Confucian cultivation method, with only the upper and middle volumes, can be cultivated to the ninth level of Core Formation.*The Blazing Fire Sword Manual*, a fire-attribute sword art, can be cultivated to the ninth level of Core Formation.*The Earth-Shaking Tome*, an earth-attribute cultivation method, with only the upper and middle volumes, can be cultivated to the ninth level of Core Formation.
