Chapter 4670: Wang Changsheng Leaves the Pass

"It's only right for a disciple to show respect to his master. Over the years, Master has taught me a great deal about artifact refining." Shen Long's tone was sincere. Given the Wang family's current power and status, it was truly rare for Wang Qingfeng to be willing to instruct him in artifact refining.

"My husband mentioned you've cultivated a peak true spirit. In that case, I'll give you Blood Rhinoceros Pills and Blood Infant Jade Apricots, both infused with an eight-color crystal core. Whether you can cultivate an immortal body is entirely up to you," Dong Xueli said, taking out two porcelain bottles and handing them to Shen Long.

"Thank you, Mistress," Shen Long replied, taking the bottles with both hands, his expression respectful.

Dong Xueli then inquired about the development of the Divine Mechanism Sect. The sect currently boasted over twenty Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Shen Long was capable of refining complete sets of high-grade immortal artifacts and was proficient in puppetry, all thanks to Wang Qingfeng's guidance. The Divine Mechanism Sect now possessed two underground cities, indicating its formidable strength.

"By the way, I heard the Qilin clan is engaged in a major conflict with the Tumet Royal Tribe. Why have you come here at this time? Do you need assistance?" Dong Xueli asked.

"I can manage, Mistress, but I appreciate your concern," Shen Long replied.

"Why are the Tumet Royal Tribe and the Qilin clan fighting so fiercely? What treasure are they after?" Dong Xueli pressed.

"I heard it's for a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure—a bowl that specifically harms the soul. Qixingzi obtained it from the Myriad Demon Tomb. Several Daluo Golden Immortal-level Royal Beasts from the Chaos Beast horde were dispatched to attack Qixingzi's Seven Stars City, but Qixingzi was away at the time and escaped harm. He later surrendered the treasure to the Qilin Dao Ancestor and made the news public," Shen Long explained.

Qixingzi, a Daluo Golden Immortal, had acquired a powerful mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure from the Myriad Demon Tomb, capable of inflicting severe damage to souls. When he encountered Daluo Golden Immortals from the Tumet Royal Tribe, he used this treasure to slay two Royal Beasts, though one managed to escape, leading to the leak of the information. The Tumet Royal Tribe then deployed their Chaos Beast legion, led by a Royal Beast master of the Time Law, to attack Seven Stars City. Qixingzi, having narrowly escaped, was so alarmed that he sought an audience with the Qilin Dao Ancestor, surrendered the mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure, and publicized the information to distance himself from the situation.

"It specifically harms souls? Is it more powerful than even the perfected Soul Law?" Dong Xueli asked curiously.

"Yes, I heard that even a Chaos Beast that has evolved four times, when enduring an attack from this treasure, will have its soul severely wounded. The Qilin clan has used this treasure to eliminate multiple Royal Beasts. Its rank is that of a top-grade immortal artifact," Shen Long confirmed.

"That powerful!" Dong Xueli exclaimed in surprise. When Royal Beasts employed their berserk divine abilities, their defenses would also increase, making it difficult for even a Daluo Golden Immortal to severely wound them by activating soul laws.

"After all, it's a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure. If it could be promoted to a Dao Artifact, it would undoubtedly be a major weapon against Chaos Beasts," Shen Long said excitedly.

Dong Xueli nodded and said to Wang Yixin, "Yixin, go to the treasury and retrieve two high-grade Immortal-Slaying Arrows for Shen Long to take back." The Wang family had also placed their people within the Qilin clan, primarily for intelligence gathering. The Divine Mechanism Sect was not weak in strength and could assist the Wang family members in handling matters that were inconvenient for them to directly address.

"Mistress, this is too precious," Shen Long said solemnly. Immortal-Slaying Arrows required the combined effort of an immortal artifact master and an immortal talisman master to refine, and he was not yet capable of refining high-grade ones.

"You call me Mistress; that title isn't for nothing. We are delighted with the progress of the Divine Mechanism Sect, and perhaps one day we may need your assistance," Dong Xueli replied.

"Whatever you command, Mistress, your disciple will obey," Shen Long vowed.

Dong Xueli nodded and had Wang Yixin escort Shen Long away. She then went to Wang Qingcheng's residence and sent a sound transmission talisman. Soon, Sun Yuejiao emerged and invited her in. Wang Qingcheng, Wang Mengbin, and Wang Qingshan were chatting idly and showed expressions of joy upon seeing Dong Xueli.

"Xueli, why have you come over? Couldn't you resolve Shen Long's issue?" Wang Qingcheng asked casually.

"He's fine. I asked him about the reason behind the fierce battle between the Tumet Royal Tribe and the Qilin clan, and he told me," Dong Xueli explained, recounting the entire situation.

"Qixingzi, a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure that even Royal Beasts dare not confront head-on... No wonder the Tumet Royal Tribe deployed so many Royal Beasts," Wang Qingcheng realized with sudden clarity.

"If that treasure were to advance to a Dao Artifact, the Tumet Royal Tribe would be in serious trouble. If I were a high-ranking member of the Tumet Royal Tribe, I would definitely dispatch even more powerful experts to either obtain or destroy it," Ye Haitang commented.

Wang Yixin entered, her expression grave, and reported, "Ancestor Qingcheng, our clansmen in the Qilin clan have activated the cross-immortal domain communication array. The Tumet Royal Tribe and the Qiyan Royal Tribe have joined forces to attack Qilin Immortal City, deploying ten-colored Chaos Beasts." The Wang family members in Qilin Immortal City would only activate the cross-immortal domain communication array for exceptionally important news. They had already known the reason for the initial conflict, but it wasn't deemed critical enough to use the array until now. Things were different; the ten-colored Chaos Beasts had been deployed, which was precisely what Wang Changsheng had repeatedly cautioned them about.

"When did this happen? Yixin, please elaborate," Wang Qingshan asked.

Wang Yixin did not conceal anything and reported truthfully.

"Notify Father immediately," Wang Qingcheng said. Before Wang Changsheng went into seclusion, he had specifically instructed them to inform him at once if any ten-colored Chaos Beasts appeared.

He immediately went to Azure Lotus Peak and saw Wang Tunian heartily feasting in the stone pavilion. Wang Qingcheng asked, "Tunian, is Father still in seclusion?"

"Hmm, isn't Master out yet? Would you like something to eat?" Wang Tunian inquired, taking a sip of immortal wine.

"No, you go ahead and eat," Wang Qingcheng replied, heading towards Azure Lotus Pavilion. He approached a stone chamber and sent a sound transmission talisman. The door instantly swung open, and Wang Changsheng emerged.

He had currently opened 1,100 immortal apertures and needed only 220 more to advance to the late stage. While 220 immortal apertures might not seem like many, many Daluo Golden Immortals failed to open that many even after tens of millions of years.

"Two ten-colored Chaos Beasts! Has the battle begun?" Wang Changsheng asked.

Wang Qingcheng nodded and said, "Yes, the battle has already started; they are currently attacking the city. I heard the Primordial Phoenix clan has sent experts to assist, but the True Dragon clan has not yet joined the fight."

Wang Changsheng approached the entrance of a secret chamber and sent a sound transmission talisman. Soon, the door opened, and Wang Ruyan emerged. She had opened 950 immortal apertures.

"Qingcheng, tell Haitang, Qingshan, and Mengbin to come over. I have important matters to instruct them on," Wang Changsheng ordered. Wang Qingcheng acknowledged and left swiftly.

Not long after, Wang Qingshan, Ye Haitang, Wang Mengbin, and Wang Qingcheng arrived. They followed Wang Changsheng into a secret chamber where the Ruyi Gate stood. Wang Changsheng projected a spell into the Ruyi Gate, which immediately lit up with dazzling spiritual light and rapidly expanded in size. The five of them passed through the Ruyi Gate, appearing at the entrance of a magnificent golden palace. On its plaque were three large silver characters: "Cloud Sailing Hall." This was Cloud Sailing Continent in the Cloud Sailing Immortal Domain, where Wang Yong'an was permanently stationed.

The hall was empty. Wang Qingcheng took out a yellow Dharma disc, projected a spell into it, and made some gestures. Soon, Wang Yong'an emerged from a side hall.

"Your grandson pays his respects, Ancestor," Wang Yong'an bowed in greeting.

"Is the Time Array functioning correctly? How many top-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons do we have?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"No issues, it's been used a few times without any problems. We have thirty-six top-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons, all deployed where you instructed, and they have never been used," Wang Yong'an replied. Wang Qingfeng had refined multiple top-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons and arranged them here.

"Haitang, I'm leaving this place to you. I intend to use the Time Array and the top-grade Immortal-Slaying Cannons to eliminate the ten-colored Chaos Beasts." After saying this, Wang Changsheng turned and walked through the Ruyi Gate, departing from the location.

Wang Ruyan and Wang Tunian were standing beside the Ruyi Gate. Wang Changsheng projected a spell into it. They then altered their appearances, put on Myriad Spirit Masks, and stepped through the Ruyi Gate. They felt their surroundings shift, finding themselves in a narrow valley.

Wang Tunian's eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light as he gazed into the distance. "Thirty million li to the northwest, nine-colored Chaos Beasts are battling immortals. No ten-colored Chaos Beasts have been sighted," Wang Tunian reported.

"Let's search elsewhere. Hopefully, we can find some ten-colored Chaos Beasts," Wang Changsheng said, putting away the Ruyi Gate. The three of them then departed.
