Chapter 914: Joyful Occasion

Wang Qingjun paused for a moment. He had been in seclusion and didn't know who Wang Xun was.

Wang Youshan briefly explained Wang Xun's background using a sound transmission spell.

Wang Qingjun naturally wouldn't hand over a cultivator with a wind-attributed unusual spirit root. Furthermore, Wang Xun had already been sent to Silver Snake Island. Most importantly, Wang Xun was a member of the Wang family. His two elder brothers had no spirit roots, and the Tang family had paid no mind to those two mortals. Simply put, didn't the Tang family see the Wang family as easy to bully?

"His surname is Wang, not Tang. Hand him over to your Tang family? What do you take our Wang family for?"

Wang Qingjun sneered. Truth be told, if they were to fight to the death right now, he would certainly not be a match for the Tang family cultivator. Even so, he would not allow his demeanor to be weaker than theirs.

"Hmph, you couldn't even protect your ancestral land, scurrying around like stray dogs, and scattering your clansmen. If it weren't for the vast influence of our Tang family, we wouldn't have found you. Hand the person over honestly, or don't blame us for being impolite."

The old man in the green robe spoke unceremoniously, his tone cold.

"What? Since when was Qing Nation your Tang family's backyard? Do you really think our Golden Wild Goose Sect doesn't exist?"

A cold female voice suddenly rang out. A golden light appeared in the sky, swiftly flying towards them.

Before long, the golden light stopped, revealing a massive golden wild goose. A graceful young woman in a golden dress sat atop it.

Qing Nation was territory controlled by the Grand Unity Immortal Sect, while Yu Nation was controlled by the Myriad Flower Palace. Each had a different primary power.

Zhang Zhanfeng, the sect master of the Grand Unity Immortal Sect, had personally arranged a place for the Wang family to live and instructed the Golden Wild Goose Sect's leader to take good care of them. The Golden Wild Goose Sect naturally dared not neglect this.

The Wang family also knew how to conduct themselves. The Golden Wild Goose Sect had received many benefits from the Wang family, so they naturally took even greater care of them.

When Wang Qingjun attracted the lightning tribulation, the Core Formation cultivators of the Golden Wild Goose Sect, stationed tens of thousands of miles away, received the news and immediately rushed over.

"Lady Jin, they seized our clansman; we are merely asking them to return him."

The old man in the green robe said with a cold expression.

"Ridiculous! His surname is Wang, so he is naturally a member of our Wang family. Why should we hand him over to you?"

Wang Qingjun did not give in, sneering.

"Enough, stop arguing, Fellow Daoist Tang. I don't care what dispute you have, but this is Qing Nation, not Yu Nation. You are not allowed to be presumptuous here. Escalating this matter will benefit no one, wouldn't you agree?"

The Seven Great Immortal Sects had issued orders to their affiliated powers, strictly forbidding the instigation of war, and especially prohibiting cultivators above the Core Formation stage from engaging in major battles. Violators would be severely punished, and no one dared to be the first to break the rules.

The old man in the green robe and the young woman in the red dress exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

"Hmph, you're lucky this time. If you want us to release him, exchange him for Wang Xun. Send him over soon, and he'll suffer less physical pain. If too much time passes, no one can guarantee his safety."

After saying this, the old man in the green robe led his group away.

Wang Qingjun breathed a sigh of relief. If a fight had broken out, he truly would not have been a match. He cupped his hands towards the young woman in the golden dress and gratefully said, "Lady Jin, thank you very much."

"It was merely a small effort. The Tang family has been too excessive in their actions these past years, Fellow Daoist Wang. Please be extra careful. The Tang family will certainly not let this go. If necessary, you can seek refuge in our Golden Wild Goose Sect."

"Thank you. I understand."

Wang Qingjun planned to make a trip to the South Sea to report the situation to the family.

Crimson Moon Sea, Silver Snake Island.

Five massive dark clouds disappeared. In the council hall, Wang Qiuhong looked at the newly promoted Core Formation cultivators, his expression extremely excited.

Wang Qingqi, Wang Qiuyan, Wang Tianqi, Wang Mengbin, and Wang Rongmiao were the five who attempted to reach the Core Formation stage. Wang Qiuyan and Wang Tianqi failed, while Wang Qingqi, Wang Mengbin, and Wang Rongmiao successfully advanced to the Core Formation stage.

Wang Mengbin had never traveled far, but he had extensive combat experience, having once led a team to eliminate elite disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect, demonstrating formidable strength. This was Wang Qingqi's second attempt to reach the Core Formation stage. With the experience from his previous attempt, he didn't expend much effort this time and successfully entered the Core Formation stage.

Wang Rongmiao had traveled extensively in his early years, narrowly escaping disaster. He later joined the Profound Water Palace and was known as a task fanatic, possessing pure magical power and rich combat experience.

Wang Qiuyan was an alchemist who rarely ventured out, relying entirely on elixirs for his cultivation. He had accompanied the family's monster hunting team on some expeditions, but not often. He spent several years purifying his magical power, but it was of little use, and he still failed. Wang Tianqi worked in intelligence, constantly moving around and rarely settling down to cultivate, so his magical power was not pure enough, leading to his failure in forming a core.

"Fourth Uncle, congratulations! Congratulations on advancing to the Core Formation stage. This means our family now has ten Core Formation cultivators."

Wang Qiuhong said with some excitement. If Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the Wang family could be considered a major immortal cultivation family, at least comparable to the Zhang family.

"Qiuhong, it's thanks to you managing the family so well all these years that we could cultivate in peace. By the way, have Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt emerged from seclusion?"

Wang Qingqi said with a smile. After advancing to the Core Formation stage, he was in a very good mood.

Wang Qiuhong shook his head and said, "Not yet. Grandfather and Grandmother haven't emerged from seclusion either. You've just advanced to the Core Formation stage, so go back and cultivate in seclusion for a while to consolidate your cultivation."

Wang Qingqi and the other two did not object. They agreed and turned to leave.

Cloud Sea Sect, Council Hall. Wang Qingjing was speaking with Wang Qiuxin. Wang Qiuxin had previously been the leader of the monster hunting team, leading clansmen to hunt demonic beasts, and his magical power was relatively pure. He successfully advanced to the Core Formation stage, while Liu Yu failed.

"Qiuxin, congratulations. After forming your core, stay and cultivate at the Cloud Sea Sect. Do not show your true appearance to others, and sometimes instruct your disciples to do things."

"Understood, Aunt. Your nephew has noted it."

Wang Qiuxin nodded and agreed.

Golden Cicada Sea, Zhoushan Island.

In the council hall, Wang Youyu sat in the main seat, her expression extremely excited. A dozen clansmen sat on either side, their faces beaming with joy.

Wang Youyu had joined a monster hunting team in her early years, later taking charge of escorting goods and engaging in combat with evil cultivators. She had extensive practical experience and pure magical power. She had traveled to many places and was tasked with guarding Zhoushan Island.

"Send news of my advancement to the Core Formation stage back to the family, and request that the family send formation masters to help upgrade the spiritual vein. For now, do not announce it publicly; let's see what the family arranges."

Wang Youyu commanded in a deep voice, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Yes, Patriarch."

Silver Snake Island, a secret chamber.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat cross-legged on meditation cushions, holding hands, their eyes slightly closed. Specks of blue light floated in the void, and faint, profound musical notes were visible.

A moment later, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan opened their eyes almost simultaneously, and the blue light and musical notes dispersed.

Their eyes were filled with joy. After ten years of seclusion, Wang Changsheng had successfully cultivated to the ninth layer of the Core Formation stage by relying on Fourth-tier spiritual water. Wang Ruyan, by consuming a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, also advanced to the ninth layer of the Core Formation stage. Logically, both of them could now attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
