Chapter 4655: Family Thriving

"How many cross-immortal realm communication arrays do we have now?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Fourteen," Wang Yixin reported. "Outposts have been established in all fourteen Grand Immortal Realms, with a large number of personnel stationed there. Once the three Dao artifacts appear in any of these fourteen immortal realms, our clan members will immediately report the news using the cross-immortal realm communication arrays."

The Wang family had invested heavily in purchasing Golden Scale Moonwheel Crystals, but with little success. They eventually used a top-grade Chaos Armor to trade with the He clan of the Barren Immortal Realm, acquiring a batch of Golden Scale Moonwheel Crystals and some Mysterious Origin Golden Scale Jade. The Mysterious Origin Golden Scale Jade was given to Wang Qingfeng to refine into top-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons, while the Golden Scale Moonwheel Crystals were used for setting up the cross-immortal realm communication arrays.

When clan members gathered significant intelligence, they would use the cross-immortal realm communication array to report the news to the Wang family on Qinglian Island. Subsequently, Wang Yongqian would activate the cross-immortal realm communication array to report to Qinglian City, and then Wang Yixin would further report to the family's senior leadership.

"And the lesser immortal realms?" Wang Changsheng asked. "How many have we brought under control?"

"Twelve!" Wang Yixin reported. "In each lesser immortal realm, a specific area has been sealed off with layers of restrictions. Even a Da Luo Golden Immortal attempting to force entry would face severe consequences. Taiyi Golden Immortals are permanently stationed there, strictly prohibiting other immortals from entering or exiting." She then recalled something and added, "Oh, and Old Ancestor Yingjie went to the Myriad Devil Tomb on a treasure hunt and acquired the complete Dao technique, the Immortal Suppressing Seal!"

"What prompted Yingjie to go treasure hunting in the Myriad Devil Tomb?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Cao entered the Myriad Devil Tomb for treasure hunting and discovered an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling, but he couldn't break its restrictions," Wang Yixin explained. "He informed Old Ancestor Yingjie, who personally intervened. Inside the ancient cultivator's dwelling, Old Ancestor Yingjie found a top-grade immortal artifact and the Dao technique, the Immortal Suppressing Seal. He has now mastered five seals."

The Wang family rewarded Cao Yuanxing with a Grand Profound Jade Ganoderma Pill. As for the three Ximen Zhi brothers, who presented the Heavenly Secret Casket, Wang Changsheng instructed Wang Yixin to reward each of them with a bottle of Blood Rhinoceros Pills, refined with eight-colored crystal cores. Their ability to cultivate an immortal body would then be up to them.

Wang Changsheng suddenly realized that this meant the Wang family had gained another Dao technique.

"Is there anything unusual about the Hunxie King Tribe? They've been surprisingly quiet for quite some time," Wang Changsheng continued.

In the previous battle, several forces suffered significant losses, with over a dozen Da Luo Golden Immortals killed and many captured. The Hunxie King Tribe acquired the Taiyang Sword, which should have granted them numerous sacrificial quotas, enabling them to cultivate more King Beasts.

"I don't know," Wang Yixin replied. "The Hunxie King Tribe is indeed very quiet at the moment. However, the Kunlun Dao Ancestor now has eight more Da Luo Golden Immortals under his command, and I hear most of them have cultivated immortal bodies. Ye Xuanji has also advanced to Da Luo Golden Immortal."

The Kunlun Dao Ancestor commands a formidable force with deep talent reserves. Without a major conflict with the Hunxie King Tribe, the number of Da Luo Golden Immortals under his command is steadily increasing, at a much faster rate than the Wang family's.

In addition to the Wang family and the Kunlun Dao Ancestor, the Nangong Immortal Clan has also gained two new Da Luo Golden Immortals.

The Ye family and the Dugu family cooperate with the Wang family in managing Xuanyang City. While the Wang family takes the largest share, the other two benefit considerably. Despite this arrangement, the Ye family's strength continues to grow, and Ye Xuanji has advanced to Da Luo Golden Immortal, becoming the family's second such expert.

The Ye family held a Da Luo celebration. As Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were in secluded cultivation, Wang Qingcheng personally led a team to offer congratulations, bringing some fourth-tier immortal pills. Given Ye Xuanji's artifact refining skill, it's only a matter of time before she can refine top-grade Chaos Armor and top-grade Immortal Extermination Cannons, though her success rate would naturally not match Wang Changsheng's or Wang Qingfeng's.

With Ye Xuanji's advancement to Da Luo Golden Immortal, her success rate in refining high-grade Chaos Armor has significantly improved. She can use high-grade Chaos Armor to exchange for cultivation resources with the Wang family, further boosting the Ye family's development.

"This is good news," Wang Changsheng remarked. "Have people from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace come looking for Qiulin again?"

"No," Wang Yixin replied. "The Dark Hall has also stationed personnel in the Qianhan Immortal Realm."

Wang Changsheng nodded, then inquired about the family's current situation, to which Wang Yixin truthfully replied.

The Wang family now boasts over thirty million cultivators, more than seven hundred Taiyi Golden Immortals, and over a dozen Da Luo Golden Immortals. Their influence extends across more than a dozen immortal realms, directly rivalling some long-established immortal clans.

While long-established immortal clans possess ancient legacies and profound foundations, enabling them to produce rare materials like Golden Scale Moonwheel Crystals in quantities the Wang family cannot, in terms of overall strength, the Wang family has already surpassed many of them.

"Prepare a generous gift," Wang Changsheng instructed. "I will lead the team to attend the celebration."

Since the True Dragon Clan had extended an invitation, Wang Changsheng felt obliged to attend. It was also a good opportunity to bring Wang Qingxiao and Wang Mengli along, allowing them to interact with the True Dragon Clan's Da Luo Golden Immortals.

Considering the presence of the Hunxie King Tribe, it would be best for Wang Ruyan to remain in Qinglian City.

"Yes, Old Ancestor," Wang Yixin acknowledged.

Wang Changsheng put away his magic disc and walked out.

He had already opened a thousand immortal apertures, and opening 1,320 would allow him to advance to the late Da Luo Golden Immortal stage. By his calculations, Wang Changsheng had been in the Da Luo Golden Immortal stage for over four million years.

This cultivation speed was considered fast; many Da Luo Golden Immortals remain in the early stage even after four million years.

He had consumed numerous fourth-tier immortal pills refined with nine-colored crystal cores to enhance his immortal elemental power, and had also drunk a considerable amount of fourth-tier immortal wine for the same purpose. After Wang Qingbai advanced to Da Luo Golden Immortal, he refined many such fourth-tier immortal pills, which Wang Changsheng also took, but their effects were no longer significant.

At the mid-Da Luo Golden Immortal stage, nine-colored crystal cores were becoming less effective. Fourth-tier immortal pills refined with ten-colored crystal cores would yield much stronger results.

Wang Changsheng intended to hunt a ten-colored Chaos Beast at the Da Luo Golden Immortal stage. However, ten-colored Chaos Beasts were inherently rare and primarily resided within the lairs of large Chaos Beast tribes, making it difficult to find a lone one.

He walked outside and saw Wang Tunian and Wang Mengli sitting in a stone pavilion, engaged in conversation.

Both of them had advanced to Da Luo Golden Immortal. Wang Chan and Wang Yang, however, despite taking the Grand Profound Jade Ganoderma Pill, had failed to open 360 immortal apertures. They would need several million years before they could attempt to break through to Da Luo Golden Immortal again.

"Congratulations on ending your seclusion, Master!" Wang Tunian and Wang Mengli exclaimed in unison.

"Excellent," Wang Changsheng said, a look of approval on his face. "Both of you have advanced to Da Luo Golden Immortal."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Master's generous care," Wang Tunian chuckled gratefully. "Without Master, it would be difficult for us to even obtain miraculous immortal pills like the Grand Profound Jade Ganoderma Pill."

Many Taiyi Golden Immortals find it impossible to acquire even a single Grand Profound Jade Ganoderma Pill. They are forced to venture into perilous regions to seek treasures, hoping to find valuable items or rare materials to exchange with major powers for the pill.

Some Taiyi Golden Immortals in the North Sea Immortal Realm would even engage in deadly, relentless battles for just one Grand Profound Jade Ganoderma Pill.

"Indeed!" Wang Mengli said with a hint of regret. "With the top-grade Chaos Armor provided by Master, our tribulation transcendence was remarkably easy. It's just a pity about Wang Chan and Wang Yang."

"They merely failed to open 360 immortal apertures," Wang Changsheng said with a smile. "They'll still have a chance in several million years."

He took out a blue glowing magic disc, injected a spell, and Wang Yixin's voice promptly sounded: "Old Ancestor, Wang Lin is attempting to break through to Da Luo Golden Immortal in Xuanwu City."

"That's wonderful!" Wang Tunian exclaimed with delight. "With the top-grade Chaos Armor, passing his lightning tribulation won't be an issue."

"Understood," Wang Changsheng said. "Let's go take a look." He put away the blue magic disc and, with Wang Tunian and Wang Mengli, set off for Xuanwu City.
