Chapter 4636: Wang Ruyan Leaves Seclusion

"It was just a small favor, but I do have something I'd like to ask Fellow Daoist Wang for help with," Bu Xianzi said.

"Please, Bu Xianzi, speak your mind," Wang Changsheng replied with a slight smile.

Bu Xianzi took out a magic disk, glowing with golden light, and handed it to Wang Changsheng. "This Divination Disk incorporates a Primordial Spirit Treasure, but it's only a high-grade immortal artifact. I've acquired higher-grade materials, and I'd like to ask Fellow Daoist Wang to help upgrade it to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. In return, I can perform a divination for Fellow Daoist Wang. How does that sound?"

She had comprehended the Law of Destiny and was a renowned diviner. Her reputation was widespread, and many sought her out for divination.

"May I ask how many materials Bu Xianzi has prepared? And may I see them?" Wang Changsheng asked.

Bu Xianzi nodded, took out a golden storage bracelet, and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng swept it with his divine sense, nodded, and said, "No problem. However, this matter cannot be rushed. For now, Bu Xianzi, please stay in Qinglian City, and allow us to fulfill our duties as hosts."

Given his artifact refining skill, it wouldn't take long to upgrade the Divination Disk to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. Having Bu Xianzi stay for a longer period would serve two purposes: firstly, to fulfill their host duties, and secondly, to allow diviners like Wang Qiulin and Wang Zhijie to consult Bu Xianzi on the art of divination.

"Very well," Bu Xianzi agreed. "Then I shall impose upon you, Fellow Daoist Wang."

"It's no imposition. You saved Qiulin and the others, so this is only right. Yixin, please arrange a superior residence for Bu Xianzi," Wang Changsheng said.

Wang Yixin responded and led Bu Xianzi away.

"Qiulin, what trouble did you encounter?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"We went to a dangerous place to seek treasures, triggered a powerful restriction, and were trapped somewhere, unable to contact the outside," Wang Qiulin explained, a lingering look of fear on his face. "Fortunately, Senior Bu happened to pass by. Upon learning we were from the Wang family, she readily offered her help."

They had been traveling for many years, missing the appearance of the Qiankun Pagoda and also the Wang family's eradication of three tribes. Fortunately, they had resolved their bottlenecks.

"Trapped by a restriction somewhere!" Wang Changsheng realized. He frowned and asked, "Did all of you enter the dangerous place to seek treasures? Was no one left outside to provide support?"

If it hadn't been for encountering Bu Xianzi, Wang Qiulin and the others might have remained trapped in the dangerous place.

"We thought that dangerous place had existed for many years and that its restrictions shouldn't be that strong. We didn't expect to have underestimated them," Wang Qiulin explained.

Wang Qiulin, Wang Dingyang, and the others were all key cultivation targets of the Wang family. They had very little experience seeking treasures in dangerous places and were also very confident in themselves; otherwise, they wouldn't have all entered the dangerous place.

This experience also served as a lesson. After this incident, they no longer dared to underestimate such dangerous places.

Wang Changsheng's expression turned stern as he reprimanded them: "This time, you were incredibly lucky. It's not every time a master passes by. It was fortunate you encountered Bu Xianzi. If you had encountered other Grand Unity Golden Immortals, they might not have saved you."

"Grandfather is right," Wang Qiulin admitted honestly. "Your grandson will remember it well. There will be no next time."

"I truly hope there won't be a next time. Your luck isn't always this good," Wang Changsheng said, his voice heavy. When they go out to seek treasures, they also inform their clansmen; this is precisely to prevent such situations from occurring.

Wang Qiulin and the others were in a foreign land and had no way to inform their clansmen. They all entered the dangerous place to seek treasures, were trapped by restrictions and couldn't leave, and there was no one to report their situation. The family had no idea of their whereabouts; unless a clansman was killed, only their golden avatar on the family's inheritance list would notify the family.

Wang Qiulin repeatedly agreed, promising to comply.

"Has Qiulin returned?" Wang Ruyan's voice rang out.

Wang Qiulin looked towards the source of the sound and saw Wang Ruyan emerge from the Green Lotus Pavilion.

"Grandmother, you've emerged from seclusion!" Wang Qiulin said, his face lighting up with joy.

Wang Ruyan nodded and said, "Why did it take you so long to return? What happened?"

She had used the Ten Directions Blood Nirvana Array to cultivate her physical body, successfully cultivating a top-tier immortal physique. After that, she entered seclusion for cultivation, successfully advancing to the mid-Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

Thus, both Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were now in the mid-Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, having both cultivated top-tier immortal physiques.

Wang Qiulin dared not conceal anything and recounted the full story.

"You were reckless this time," Wang Ruyan reprimanded him. "It's fortunate you encountered Bu Xianzi. If you had encountered other Grand Unity Golden Immortals, not adding insult to injury would have been considered good."

"Your grandson wouldn't dare again," Wang Qiulin honestly admitted his mistake.

"Alright, now that you know your mistake, you may go. Tell Dingyang and the others to come here," Wang Changsheng instructed.

Feeling as though he had received a great pardon, Wang Qiulin withdrew.

Before long, Wang Dingyang, Wang Xinghai, and the others arrived, looking nervous.

Wang Changsheng reprimanded them severely. Wang Dingyang and the others dared not even breathe, their expressions tense. It was the first time they had seen Wang Changsheng angry.

"If you know your mistake, correct it. I hope you truly understand your errors, not just pay lip service to them. Now, go back!" Wang Changsheng said, dismissing them.

"This generation hasn't endured much hardship," Wang Ruyan said. "Their experience seeking treasures in dangerous places is nil, and they lack tempering. People learn best from experience; I hope they will be more cautious in the future."

"This incident also serves as a reminder for us," Wang Changsheng said. "When we go to that place, we need to make more preparations. I'll first help her upgrade the Divination Disk to a supreme-grade immortal artifact. Wife, you are responsible for hosting her and asking her to guide Qiulin, Zhijie, and the others in divination."

If Bu Xianzi could perform a divination to predict good or ill fortune before they depart, that would be ideal.

Wang Ruyan nodded, agreeing.

After a brief chat, Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber. The Green Lotus Creation Cauldron was situated in the center of the room.

He took out the artifact refining materials and the Divination Disk, then began refining.

In Hunxie King City, within a sprawling giant valley with roads leading in all directions, Xiang was speaking with Kui.

Xiang had offered the Taiyang Sword, gaining fifteen slots to enter the Mother Pagoda for sacrifice. Six of his clan members had evolved four times. Kui, however, had failed to evolve five times.

"The Immortal Chaos Tomb!" Xiang said, his voice heavy. They had received news that an extraordinary treasure was located somewhere in the Immortal Chaos Tomb, though its exact function was still unknown. "Several Grand Unity Golden Immortal clan members have perished there."

"Precisely for this reason, I must go there myself," Kui said.

"Forget it. You are the future of our Hunxie King Tribe. You don't need to go for such matters. I'll send others. You should focus on your cultivation, hoping to cultivate to the Great Perfection stage," Xiang said.

Kui had evolved four times and comprehended the Law of Space. He could retreat safely even when facing Immortal Lord Qianxin, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Ancestor, I am stuck at a bottleneck," Kui said. "Continuous secluded cultivation is useless. Let me go! This is how I resolve my bottlenecks."

Both Immortals and Chaos Beasts would get stuck at bottlenecks. However, when Chaos Beasts encountered bottlenecks, they mostly resolved them by slaying Immortals.

Xiang pondered for a moment and instructed, "Alright. Be extra careful."

"Thank you, Ancestor, for granting my wish," Kui promised. "I will definitely bring that treasure back."
