At Green Lotus Peak, Green Lotus City, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Immortal Lord Qianxin, and Master Miaode were seated in a blue stone pavilion, engaged in conversation.
Wang Qingshan and his three companions had already captured Tianga City and plundered all its cultivation resources. In this battle, over thirty Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level chaotic beasts perished, and three tribes were annihilated.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, your divine abilities are truly remarkable. To have slain three king beasts, you are a true role model for our generation." Wang Changsheng exclaimed with admiration.
"One of them managed to flee, so I don't deserve such high praise, Fellow Daoist Wang. Your achievements are significant as well!" Immortal Lord Qianxin remarked.
"It was a pyrrhic victory, nothing worth mentioning, especially when compared to your accomplishments, Fellow Daoist Qian," Wang Ruyan replied modestly.
"Even so, your strength is formidable. If I may be so bold as to ask, Fellow Daoist Wang, are you perhaps descendants of the Lin family, a Dao Race clan?" Immortal Lord Qianxin inquired.
"No, we are not. Why do you ask, Fellow Daoist Qian?" Wang Changsheng replied, puzzled.
"Your family has five Grand Unity Golden Immortals, all of whom have cultivated immortal bodies and mastered supreme laws. This reminds me of the Lin family, a Dao Race clan. Our human race has only ever produced one such Dao Race. During the Immortal-Chaos War, three Dao Ancestors of the chaotic beasts besieged the Lin family patriarch. The patriarch perished, and the Lin family subsequently vanished from the annals of history," Immortal Lord Qianxin mused with a sigh.
While there are many Grand Unity Golden Immortals under the Kunlun Dao Ancestor who have either mastered supreme laws or cultivated immortal bodies, those who have achieved both are quite rare. Even he, who is being groomed as a successor by the Kunlun Dao Ancestor, has not managed to comprehend a supreme law, despite having access to numerous supplementary resources. He simply hasn't been able to grasp one. Furthermore, though the Kunlun Dao Ancestor provided a significant amount of cultivation resources to help his Grand Unity Golden Immortal disciples cultivate their physical bodies into top-tier immortal bodies, only Immortal Lord Qianxin succeeded in achieving a top-tier immortal body.
"It's fortunate that Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang possess such extraordinary divine abilities. This humble monk was quite worried about your well-being," Master Miaode said with a gentle smile.
"Even if you are not descendants of the Lin family, the Hunxie King tribe will undoubtedly set their sights on you. You are relatively safe on the Chaos Continent, where my master can still offer some protection. However, if you leave the Chaos Continent, there will be no one to stop Dao Ancestor-level chaotic beasts from targeting you," Immortal Lord Qianxin stated meaningfully. Following this battle, the Green Lotus Immortal Couple's reputation has grown significantly, and they have undoubtedly drawn the attention of the Hunxie King tribe. It wouldn't be surprising if they couldn't withstand the pressure and decided to relocate their entire clan. However, it would be incredibly naive to think that simply hiding in the rear would solve all their problems.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Qian. We are not that naive. With Senior Zhang's patronage, we are quite content to make a living on the Chaos Continent," Wang Changsheng said.
"That's good to hear, and rest assured! With us here, should the chaotic beast king beasts launch an attack, I will certainly provide support. However, as the saying goes, 'one must be strong oneself to strike iron effectively.' You must also heighten your vigilance and not give the chaotic beasts any opportunities," Immortal Lord Qianxin stated.
The Wang Immortal Clan now represents the most formidable combat power under Kunlun Immortal Island, especially after the Taibai Sword Sect, Myriad Beast Palace, and Myriad Treasure City were severely weakened, and the Star Moon Palace and Thunder Roar Race also suffered significant losses. The Nangong Immortal Clan's strength is also considerable. However, even when Nangong Dezhi joined forces with several Grand Unity Golden Immortals to pursue Xiao, they only managed to wound him. Xiao's berserker divine ability provided an overwhelmingly strong boost. It was only because Wang Changsheng's Sea-Calming Pearls were a complete set of top-tier immortal artifacts infused with primordial spiritual treasures, augmented by the Daoist technique 'Size As Desired,' that he and Wang Ruyan were able to eliminate Xiao with such relative ease. Of course, to outsiders, it appeared that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had sustained severe injuries before finally managing to kill Xiao. The Wang and Nangong Immortal Clans are linked by marriage, and their territories border each other.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, why exactly did the Hunxie King tribe deploy their chaotic army to attack Taibai Sword City?" Wang Changsheng asked, curious.
"It was for the Taiyang Sword, a top-tier immortal artifact infused with primordial spiritual treasures, which had given birth to an innate artifact spirit, though it was only semi-awake. The artifact itself was severely damaged, and even if it fell into the hands of the chaotic beasts, its value would be minimal. Immortal Lord Taibai obtained it from the Immortal Chaos Tomb," Immortal Lord Qianxin explained.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's faces showed dawning realization. If the Hunxie King tribe were aware that Wang Ruyan possessed a top-tier immortal artifact with an innate artifact spirit—her Green Lotus Zither, which was undamaged—they would undoubtedly deploy significant forces to attack Green Lotus City as well.
"How did they know Immortal Lord Taibai acquired this treasure? Their intelligence network must be incredibly vast!" Wang Ruyan inquired.
"It's unclear. Perhaps it was detected by a pseudo-immortal, or discovered during a treasure hunt. We've eliminated many Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level chaotic beasts, but even through soul-searching, we haven't been able to ascertain how they learned of this," Immortal Lord Qianxin replied.
"Tsk tsk, a top-tier immortal artifact with an innate artifact spirit, infused with primordial spiritual treasures... If only my own natal immortal artifact could also give birth to an innate artifact spirit," Wang Changsheng remarked with a hint of envy.
"Are the set of pearls you wield, Fellow Daoist Wang, your natal immortal artifact?" Immortal Lord Qianxin asked.
"Indeed! To elevate this treasure to a top-tier immortal artifact, I practically expended my entire fortune," Wang Changsheng explained.
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Wang, we have no designs on your treasure. Your concern should be the chaotic beasts. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't linger. I will arrange for Fellow Daoist Xu to come and help you set up a fourth-tier immortal formation," Immortal Lord Qianxin stood up to take his leave.
"This humble monk shall also take his leave. I will visit you and Madam Wang again when I have time another day," Master Miaode rose to depart.
Not long after they left, Wang Yixin entered, excitedly announcing, "Ancestors, Ancestor Qingxiao has successfully passed his lightning tribulation and has advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!"
With this, the Wang family now boasted six Grand Unity Golden Immortals, all of whom had mastered supreme laws, presenting the aura of a true Dao Race clan.
"Seal off the news; do not publicize this externally. We have already drawn the attention of the Hunxie King tribe. Also, send people to the lower realm to transfer a portion of our cultivation resources there, hiding them within the Canghai Secret Realm in the Xuanyang Realm. Should our family encounter misfortune, these resources will be our hope for resurgence," Wang Changsheng instructed. Preparing for unforeseen circumstances, he intended to establish contingencies.
The Canghai Secret Realm was located in Canghai and controlled by the Wang family. They couldn't put all their eggs in one basket. While past contingency plans involved establishing power in other immortal realms, the situation was different now. Not only had the Hunxie King tribe set their sights on them, but there were certainly individuals within the immortal realm who were also targeting them.
"Select a group of elites and establish cultivation families in other immortal realms," Wang Ruyan added. "They should not operate under the banner of the Green Lotus Wang family. We hope these preparations will never be needed, and the fewer who know about them, the better."
"Understood, Ancestors," Wang Yixin assented and departed to carry out the orders.
"I hope we are overthinking this," Wang Changsheng said.
"Once you cultivate top-tier immortal bodies, you should make a trip to the Immortal Chaos Tomb," Qingxuan's voice resonated. "I have a strong feeling that's where I escaped from, and there are many valuable things there."
"If a Dao Ancestor takes action, do you have confidence in blocking them?" Wang Changsheng asked.
"I don't know; I haven't tried," Qingxuan replied. "However, there are definitely many valuable things in the Immortal Chaos Tomb that would aid my recovery. It would be safer if you only go after you've cultivated top-tier immortal bodies."
Wang Changsheng nodded in agreement.
Wang Yixin left and quickly returned, saying, "Ancestors, Fellow Daoist Fang Mu is here and wishes to see you about something. What do you think?"
Fang Mu had known Wang Changsheng since their Foundation Establishment stage, and after arriving in the Immortal Realm, Fang Mu had also provided Wang Changsheng with some assistance.
"Invite him to Green Lotus Peak. He's an old friend," Wang Changsheng instructed. Few of their acquaintances from the Dongli Realm remained, as most had already passed on. Fang Mu was one of the rare survivors. Sun Tianhu and Gongsun Yang were currently at the Mid Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, stuck at a bottleneck they hadn't been able to overcome.
