Chapter 4592: Yuan Feng and the Joyful Dao Ancestor

“The Qiankun Pagoda has appeared! Haha, could this be my great opportunity?!”

A loud male voice echoed from the sky.

No sooner had the voice faded than a streak of green light appeared in the distant sky. It paused with a flash, revealing a pot-bellied old man in a green robe, with a round face and small eyes narrowed into slits. His aura indicated he was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal at the peak of cultivation.

“Immortal Venerable Haoyang!” Nangong Yuwei exclaimed, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she recognized the old man in green.

Wang Changsheng had heard of Immortal Venerable Haoyang. The man was a prodigy who wielded unique laws. He had participated in the last Immortal-Chaos War but hadn't shown himself for many years, so it was surprising that he was still alive.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, long time no see,” said Immortal Lord Yulei. He had fought alongside Immortal Venerable Haoyang against the Chaos Beasts. They hadn't seen each other since that great war, and with no news of Immortal Venerable Haoyang for so many years, he had assumed the Venerable had perished.

“Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Lei. How time flies! I’ve finally encountered the appearance of the Qiankun Pagoda.” Immortal Venerable Haoyang’s expression was excited. He had lived for tens of millions of years, and this was the first time he had been so close to the Qiankun Pagoda.

“With your abilities, Fellow Daoist Xu, you could certainly challenge the top-ranked Supreme,” said Liu Qian.

“Heh heh, that’s exactly what I intended. Aren’t any of you going to take on the challenge? This old man will go first.” Immortal Venerable Haoyang chuckled and flew into the Qiankun Pagoda.

“Madam Liu, Fellow Daoist Wang, aren’t you going to take on the challenge?” Immortal Fairy Longyue asked.

The Qiankun Pagoda was a Dao Artifact with immense internal space, capable of accommodating millions of challengers simultaneously without any interference.

“There’s no rush for that. We’ll go a bit later,” Liu Qian replied.

Wang Changsheng looked toward the distant horizon. A red light appeared there, pausing with a flash to reveal a massive red island from which clear, resonant phoenix cries emanated.

“Yuanfeng Immortal Island!” exclaimed Abbess Qingyi, surprised.

The seven Immortal Cities were mobile and extremely fast, allowing for quick deployment and support. Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Yuanfeng Immortal City to arrive, which was quite unforeseen.

“More people are coming,” Nangong Yuwei noted.

Another colossal Immortal Island flew in from the distance, halting with a flash. On it stood a majestic city, its plaque bearing the three large golden characters: “Joyous City.”

Joyous Immortal Island!

The simultaneous arrival of these three Immortal Islands was spurred by the three Dao Artifacts. This was also a measure against the Chaos Beasts; otherwise, all seven Immortal Cities might have converged here.

“Fellow Daoist Qian, long time no see. I didn’t expect us to reunite here,” a pleasant female voice echoed, spreading for countless miles.

A woman in a red dress, radiating a monstrous demonic aura, flew forth from Yuanfeng Island. It was Yuanfeng herself.

“Many years, indeed. Madam Feng’s grace remains as ever,” a loud male voice responded. As these words were spoken, a golden light flared in the air, revealing a tall man in a golden robe. He had well-defined features, a fair complexion, and a white jade belt cinched at his waist.

Dao Ancestor Huanle!

“The Qiankun Pagoda has actually appeared here! This is an opportunity for all of us,” said Yuanfeng.

“Aren’t Fellow Daoist Long and Fellow Daoist Lin coming?” Dao Ancestor Huanle asked, puzzled.

“They need to guard against the Chaos Beasts, so they couldn’t come. I’ve brought some of their descendants here; you may all proceed to challenge the pagoda!” Yuanfeng instructed.

Over a hundred thousand Immortals flew from Yuanfeng Island towards the Qiankun Pagoda. Most were of the demon race, but there were also humans, witches, devils, ghosts, and other races, ranging from True Immortals to Grand Unity Golden Immortals. These Immortals represented the elites of the five Immortal Cities and formed the backbone of the resistance against the Chaos Beasts.

Upon learning of the three Dao Artifacts’ appearance, Dao Ancestor Kunlun immediately informed the other Immortal Islands. Yuanfeng Island, bringing the majority of the elites from five Immortal Cities, came to challenge the Qiankun Pagoda. Additionally, they took the opportunity to purchase cultivation resources from the One Word Palace.

“You may all proceed to challenge the pagoda as well! I hope you can defeat the Prodigy Supremes,” said Dao Ancestor Huanle.

Over a hundred thousand Immortals flew out from Joyous Immortal Island, heading towards the Qiankun Pagoda. With so many participants, it was quite a sight.

Wang Changsheng was in no hurry to begin his challenge. Calculating the time, Wang Qingshan and the others should have already engaged the Prodigy Supremes.

Inside the Qiankun Pagoda, in a spacious and brightly lit hall, Wang Qingbai was engaged in a battle with a burly man in a yellow robe. The man wielded a massive club that shimmered with yellow light, swinging it towards Wang Qingbai. Wang Qingbai’s form flickered, dissolving into a series of afterimages to evade the massive yellow club.

The burly man’s attack missed. As he prepared to unleash another move, thick green vines erupted from the ground, swiftly weaving into two massive green hands that coiled around his feet. Simultaneously, the world around them shifted as a colossal green lotus materialized above the burly man’s head. The green lotus subtly swayed, and countless green petals cascaded down, hurtling straight towards the burly man. A brilliant yellow light erupted from the burly man’s body, and a thick yellow energy barrier materialized, enveloping him completely.

At that moment, Wang Qingbai appeared behind the burly man, executing the Daoist technique, Heaven-Treading Step. His right index finger glowed with a dazzling green light. With a gentle tap into the void, a long arc of green light shot forth, striking the yellow energy barrier precisely. The barrier shattered like a bubble, and the green arc pierced clean through the burly man's left shoulder, causing blood to gush out. Meanwhile, the green petals continued to rain down upon his body. His immortal essence and vital energy rapidly drained away. A seven-colored immortal flower sprouted from his head, slowly growing larger. Before long, the seven-colored immortal flower withered, and the burly man collapsed.

“You have defeated a Supreme and gained one resurrection opportunity, limited to Immortals below the Dao Ancestor realm. You may now choose your reward! You can also select one additional item. If you engage a Grand Unity Golden Immortal and withstand one of their attacks, you will be able to choose yet another item. However, should you fail, your physical body may be destroyed or you could be severely wounded,” a male voice announced.

“No need to fight a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; I’ll just choose the items,” Wang Qingbai replied. No sooner had he spoken than the surroundings blurred, and rows of tall shelves materialized, laden with a variety of items. Wang Qingbai walked over, carefully making his selection.

In another spacious and brightly lit hall, Wang Qingshan was panting, his face slightly pale. A devil lay on the ground, a gruesome bloody hole in his chest. He had successfully defeated a Prodigy at the Grand Unification Golden Immortal stage, who was ranked tenth. This individual had perfected their laws and cultivated an immortal body, though they had not mastered Supreme laws. Wang Qingshan, utilizing the Nine Swords of Immortal Slaying and the Aperture Fusion Art, had successfully defeated this opponent.

“Would you like to fight a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, or choose your items? If you fight a Grand Unity Golden Immortal and withstand one of their attacks, you can choose an additional item,” a male voice inquired.

“I’ll just choose the items,” Wang Qingshan replied. He was merely at the late Grand Unification Golden Immortal stage; had he been at the Grand Completion stage of Grand Unification Golden Immortal, Wang Qingshan might have considered it. The surroundings blurred, and rows of tall shelves materialized, laden with a variety of items. Wang Qingshan walked over, carefully making his selection.
