A month quickly passed.
A steep peak with a vast bluestone plaza at its summit hosted tens of thousands of immortals. Many green jade tables were set up, each laden with fine wine and delicacies. Wang Changsheng and other Grand Luo Golden Immortals sat in the front rows. Today was the joyous wedding day of Long Xiao and Feng Li.
Long Xiang hosted the gathering, inviting over thirty Grand Luo Golden Immortals, most of whom were late-stage cultivators. They exchanged cultivation insights and spiritual resources.
Wang Changsheng acquired many rare materials through exchange, including the Golden Rainbow Saber, a top-grade immortal artifact with a congenital artifact spirit, which he obtained from Qing Hongzi. The Golden Rainbow Saber's blade was severely damaged, covered in cracks. Qing Hongzi had obtained it from the Immortal Chaotic Tomb and had no idea it possessed a congenital artifact spirit, allowing Wang Changsheng to successfully trade for it. The Golden Rainbow Saber's artifact spirit was in deep slumber, with no telling when it would awaken. Wang Changsheng handed the saber to Qing Xuan for consumption, as it would aid in his recovery.
Wang Changsheng and the other Grand Luo Golden Immortals began chatting, their discussions covering a wide range of topics.
A tall, red-robed elder spoke, his face full of envy: "Fellow Daoist Wang, your Wang family now boasts numerous masters, and its strength has surpassed many long-established immortal clans."
For this celebration, Wang Changsheng brought Wang Qingfeng, Wang Qingling, Wang Qingxiao, and others. They frequently attended Grand Luo Golden Immortal gatherings, befriending a number of Grand Luo Golden Immortals and acquiring some spiritual resources.
"Heh heh, several Grand Luo Golden Immortals in the Wang family have cultivated immortal physiques and mastered supreme laws. Only a few immortal clans possess such strength."
"Indeed, it reminds me of the Lin family of the Dao race. What a pity they have vanished into the river of history."
"Yes, it's truly a shame about the Lin family of the Dao race."
Many Grand Luo Golden Immortals voiced their opinions, comparing the Wang family to the Lin family of the Dao race.
Fairy Tianchen said, "The Lin family has a long heritage. I don't believe they simply faded away. Perhaps they did so intentionally, merely moving from the forefront to the shadows."
There were many theories regarding the Lin family's disappearance. Some said they possessed a Dao artifact, leading multiple forces to annihilate them. Others claimed they were destroyed by Dao Ancestor-level chaotic beasts. There were also rumors that the Lin family colluded with chaotic beasts and were consequently eliminated by multiple major powers. Another theory suggested the Lin family voluntarily withdrew and went into seclusion.
Qing Hongzi said, "I also believe that's the case. With hundreds of millions of Lin family members spread across multiple immortal realms, even with hostile forces targeting them, they couldn't have completely vanished. Haven't there been similar situations before, where a Grand Elder of a major sect was a descendant of the Lin family?"
Given the Lin family's strength, controlling or establishing a force would be too easy for them.
Wang Changsheng strongly agreed. The Wang family had easily controlled several small immortal realms by dispatching a few Grand Unity Golden Immortals, serving as a backup plan.
Fairy Tianchen asked, her face full of curiosity, "Might the core members of the Lin family possess miraculous immortal pills capable of helping one breakthrough to Dao Ancestor?"
Immortal Monarch Beihan dismissed the idea. "Hard to say. One would need to find the core descendants of the Lin family to know for sure. However, after so many years, if there truly were such immortal pills for breaking through to Dao Ancestor, they would have long been used up."
Wang Changsheng said, "That's true. But after all these years, no Dao Ancestor has emerged from the Lin family, suggesting that breaking through to Dao Ancestor is quite difficult."
Long Xiang said, "Setting aside the miraculous immortal pills and tribulation-crossing treasures for breaking through to Dao Ancestor, just cultivating a top-tier immortal physique has stumped countless individuals. Over tens of millions of years, some fellow Daoists who managed to cultivate a top-tier immortal physique and acquire the immortal pills for Dao Ancestor breakthrough attempted it, but without exception, they were struck down by lightning tribulations."
Fairy Tianchen sighed, "Indeed! Even achieving Dao with the Five Elements law, the power of the lightning tribulation is immense. For Ancestor Dragon to achieve Dao with the law of strength, the difficulty is unimaginable."
A burly, green-robed elder chuckled, "If you ask me, there's no need to necessarily advance to Dao Ancestor. Grand Luo Golden Immortals have no lifespan limit, so why take that risk?"
This was Immortal Monarch Xiaoyao, a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
Fairy Tianchen said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chen is quite uninhibited. But who among us, having reached this stage after countless difficulties, doesn't wish to go further?"
Immortal Monarch Xiaoyao was over two hundred million years old. He was a rogue cultivator, free and unconstrained, not participating in the war between immortals and chaotic beasts, and instead traveled everywhere enjoying the scenery.
Qing Hongzi said with an admiring look, "Indeed! When it comes to breaking through to Dao Ancestor, Fellow Daoist Long's success rate should be higher. The True Dragon Clan, at its peak, had two Dao Ancestors."
In the entire Immortal Realm, it was rare for a single clan to produce even one Dao Ancestor. For a clan to have two Dao Ancestors simultaneously, only the True Dragon Clan had achieved this, though currently, they only had one.
Long Xiang said with a slight smile, "Thank you for your auspicious words, Fellow Daoist Li."
After more than half an hour of casual chat, a loud dragon roar echoed. A four-sided beast carriage, glowing with continuous red light, flew in from afar, flashing once and stopping above the bluestone plaza.
Long Xiao and Feng Li stood within the red beast carriage, smiling.
Wang Changsheng and tens of thousands of other immortals rose to their feet. The younger generation collectively called out, "Greetings, Senior Dragon and Senior Feng!"
Long Xiao nodded and, with a flick of his hand sign, the red beast carriage descended onto the main platform. He and Feng Li stepped out and took their seats.
Various major forces presented their congratulatory gifts. The Wang family offered a top-grade chaotic armor, a top-grade immortal artifact, and ten 50-million-year-old immortal herbs, which was considered quite generous. Other forces also presented top-grade immortal artifacts, but none offered top-grade chaotic armor. After all, the latter was much harder to craft than the former.
After all guests had presented their gifts, they drank wine, discussed the Dao, and chatted cheerfully.
When the conversation turned to the ten-colored chaotic beasts, it naturally led to the topic of ten apertures. Fairy Tianchen asked, "Fellow Daoist Long, if I may be so bold, have you opened ten apertures and mastered two supreme laws?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "Fairy Shen, you jest. How could one possibly master two supreme laws? That's unheard of."
Wang Changsheng nodded. Among the Wang family's Grand Luo Golden Immortals who had opened ten apertures, only he and Wang Ruyan had mastered two supreme laws; others had mastered at most one.
Fairy Tianchen nodded thoughtfully. She then changed the subject, turning the conversation to the ten-colored chaotic beasts. Many Grand Luo Golden Immortals discussed how to deal with the ten-colored chaotic beasts, offering their suggestions and insights. Long Xiang and several other Grand Luo Golden Immortals who had fought against ten-colored chaotic beasts recounted their experiences.
Over three hours later, the banquet concluded, and many guests bid their farewells and departed.
Wang Changsheng did not stay much longer either. His gains from this trip were considerable, as Wang Yingjie, Wang Qingxiao, Ye Haitang, and others all exchanged for some spiritual resources they needed.
After leaving Ancestral Dragon City, Wang Changsheng summoned his Earth-grade immortal ship and departed with everyone aboard.
Upon returning to Azure Lotus City, the clan members returned to their respective homes, while Ye Haitang followed Wang Changsheng to Azure Lotus Peak.
Wang Changsheng took out a golden storage bracelet, handed it to Ye Haitang, and said, "Haitang, take these formation materials. Set up a Time Array on the Yunhang Continent in the Yunhang Immortal Realm. I have an important use for it."
"Understood, Uncle," Ye Haitang agreed, took the storage bracelet, and left.
Wang Changsheng called Wang Yixin, took out a green storage bracelet, and handed it to her, instructing her to properly arrange its contents. The Nine-Turn True Dragon Fruit Tree and Heavenly Dragon Tea Tree had dedicated caretakers.
He entered a secret chamber. With a flick of his sleeve, the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron flew out and landed on the ground. Wang Changsheng took out his artifact refining materials and began refining artifacts.
During this celebration, Wang Changsheng accepted multiple artifact refining orders, including upgrading immortal artifacts' grades and repairing damaged ones. This was not difficult for him; it would only take more time to complete. Wang Qingfeng also acquired many artifact refining materials, including several pieces of Profound Origin Gold Scale Jade. He was responsible for refining top-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons. Father and son each had their own tasks.
