Huohouzi mused for a moment before taking out a golden jade box. "What if I add this source item?" he transmitted.
Wang Changsheng's expression shifted. He took the golden jade box, opened the lid, and glanced inside. It was indeed a source item.
Truth be told, he wasn't short on source items, but refusing outright would make it seem like he had plenty.
"Five sets of materials are too few; I'd need at least seven."
Even assembling one set of materials for a top-grade Chaos Armor was difficult, yet Huohouzi could produce five, indicating his considerable wealth.
The Chahar Tribe possessed a small Primal Stone mine. Following the tribe's destruction, this mine came under the Wang Family's control. Of course, the Nangong Immortal Clan didn't cede it willingly; the Wang Family traded Chaos Armor for it. Ultimately, the Nangong Immortal Clan would have used the Primal Stones to craft Chaos Armor themselves, but their success rate for refining Chaos Armor was significantly lower than the Wang Family's. From a practical standpoint, it was simply more economical for them to purchase the armor directly from the Wang Family.
Beyond the Nangong Immortal Clan, numerous other factions also purchased Chaos Armor from the Wang Family.
"Seven sets? Isn't that too many?"
Huohouzi frowned.
"Crafting a top-grade Chaos Armor is highly complex. While five sets of materials might yield a high-grade Chaos Armor, they are insufficient for a top-grade one."
Wang Changsheng explained, knowing he held the prerogative, given how low other immortal artificers' success rates were for crafting top-grade Chaos Armor.
"Frankly, even with seven sets of materials, success isn't guaranteed. We're only considering this because of Fellow Daoist Dugu; many others want my husband's help with artifact crafting."
Wang Ruyan added.
"Fellow Daoist Huo, Fellow Daoist Wang's artifact crafting skill is exceptional. Other Fourth-tier Immortal Artificers might not be able to achieve this. You know Grandmaster Miaode, don't you? Even he asks for his help with artifact refining."
Dugu Tianlong stated.
After the recent grand battle, Grandmaster Miaode had eliminated four Great Principle Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts. The staff he wielded played a pivotal role, and he openly praised Wang Changsheng's abilities. Furthermore, given that Wang Changsheng's natal immortal artifact was a complete set of top-grade immortal artifacts imbued with Primordial Spirit Treasures, it was widely known among immortals that his artifact crafting skill was exceptionally high.
"I can only provide one more set of materials, not two."
Huohouzi's face showed his dilemma.
"If you're short one set of materials, other valuable items could suffice. You needn't offer the secret method for opening nine orifices; I already possess several such techniques."
Huohouzi pondered briefly, then produced two nine-colored crystal cores. "These are two crystal cores from Great Principle Golden Immortal stage nine-colored Chaos Beasts," he announced. "Is this sufficient now?"
"For anyone else, it certainly wouldn't be enough, but since Fellow Daoist Huo is a friend of Fellow Daoist Dugu, then yes, it's naturally sufficient."
Six sets of materials, along with the other items, would allow for the crafting of six top-grade Chaos Armors—a substantial profit indeed.
"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Wang. When might they be ready?"
Huohouzi asked, his face alight with anticipation.
"Within a hundred thousand years, I expect. I have many other matters to attend to. Once they are finished, I will send someone to notify you, or I can have Fellow Daoist Dugu relay the message."
"I reside in Kunlun Immortal City. When you finish refining the top-grade Chaos Armor, Fellow Daoist Wang, simply send someone to inform me."
Huohouzi replied.
Wang Changsheng nodded in agreement.
"With Fellow Daoist Wang's assistance, there will surely be no issues."
Dugu Tianlong said with a smile.
After a brief conversation, Huohouzi took his leave. Dugu Tianlong also departed, needing to return to mobilize forces and bring his clan to the Chaos Continent, where numerous Earth Cities, Mysterious Cities, and Yellow Cities were under Sky City's jurisdiction.
Wang Changsheng summoned Wang Yixin and instructed her to mobilize personnel from their rear bases to the Chaos Continent for the construction of Sky City.
The two Sky Cities had numerous subordinate Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow Cities. This immense undertaking couldn't be managed by the Wang Family alone; it required the involvement of many factions participating in the construction. The Wang Family's role was to set the overall direction and issue commands.
Affiliated forces would undertake the city construction, with the Wang Family providing oversight. The Wang Family's immortal array masters were required to participate in establishing the city's protective formations. Furthermore, resources such as immortal medicine gardens, immortal wood groves, and immortal mines would all be under the Wang Family's direct management. The sheer scope of the project was enormous.
"First, dispatch one million clan members here. The 'Resurgence Plan' is to be executed immediately, without delay."
Wang Changsheng commanded.
As a contingency, he planned to discreetly transfer a significant amount of cultivation resources to the lower realms or other parts of the Immortal World, a decision known only to a select few high-ranking family members. This was to ensure that, should the family ever face a major disaster, they would possess the means to recover and rise again.
"Understood, Ancestor."
Wang Yixin assented and departed with the order.
"Might the Lin Dao Family have had similar contingency plans?"
Wang Ruyan asked, intrigued.
She found it difficult to believe that the once renowned Lin Dao Family had truly vanished. Even a fallen powerhouse retains some strength; despite losing their Dao Ancestor, the Lin Family still possessed several Great Principle Golden Immortals.
"There must still be Lin family descendants alive. Even we know to prepare contingencies. The Lin family didn't vanish overnight; their decline was gradual, providing ample time to put such plans in place."
Wang Changsheng analyzed.
If the Lin family had been instantly annihilated, the absence of descendants would be understandable. However, their demise was gradual, making it highly improbable that they had no fallback plans.
"Husband, you should focus on cultivating your physical body using the Ten Directions Blood Nirvana Grand Array first. I will oversee the construction of Sky City."
Wang Ruyan suggested.
Kunlun Immortal Island had dispatched a Fourth-tier Immortal Array Master to assist in setting up the Ten Directions Blood Nirvana Grand Array. Wang Changsheng offered a top-grade Chaos Armor as payment, a gesture that both honored the immortal array master and showcased his own worth to the Kunlun Dao Ancestor.
Throughout the entire Immortal World, truly few Fourth-tier Immortal Artificers were capable of refining top-grade Chaos Armor.
Wang Changsheng nodded in agreement.
He arrived at a vast bluestone plaza, where a blood-red array, ten thousand zhang in size, dominated the space. At its heart lay a Blood Nirvana Divine Crystal, encircled by ten massive blood-colored stone pillars, their surfaces intricately etched with profound array patterns.
Wang Changsheng walked to the center of the formation, produced a blood-glowing array disk, and cast a spell into it. The array shimmered faintly, and all its intricate patterns lit up brilliantly.
The ten blood-colored stone pillars erupted with blinding scarlet light, and a thick beam of crimson energy shot skyward, enveloping Wang Changsheng. Simultaneously, a colossal blood-red light screen materialized, like a giant inverted bowl, enclosing him within.
Wang Changsheng could distinctly feel a potent surge of vital blood energy flowing into his body. He immediately began cultivating to refine it.
Kunlun Immortal Island and the Hunxie King Tribe declared a complete ceasefire. News of the battle's outcome swiftly spread across the entire Chaos Continent, then disseminated to all the Immortal Domains. The renowned Azure Lotus Immortal Couple became famous throughout the Immortal World, and the title of the Wang Immortal Clan also spread far and wide.
The fact that all five Great Principle Golden Immortals of the Wang Family had achieved immortal bodies and mastered supreme laws astonished the outside world, leading to a flurry of speculation. Some claimed the Wang Family inherited the legacy of the Qiankun Dao Ancestor from his cultivation grounds. Others suggested they acquired multiple Great Principle Golden Immortal inheritances from the Myriad Demon Tomb. Still others asserted that the Wang Family had unearthed the hidden treasures of the Lin Dao Family, with some even whispering that the Wang Family *was* the Lin Dao Family, simply having changed their surname.
The Wang Immortal Clan now commanded the attention of all major powers, including the twelve great Chaos Beast tribes.
