Chapter 4688: Leaving

They arrived at the entrance of the fourth stone chamber. Ye Haitang broke through the restriction and opened the large door, revealing a green fruit tree.

The green fruit tree had round leaves, and five green fruits hung on its branches. Each fruit had two gold and silver colored markings on its surface.

"Two-Form Dao Origin Fruit," Wang Changsheng exclaimed in surprise.

The Two-Form Dao Origin Fruit has a growth cycle of five hundred million years and can assist a Dao Ancestor in cultivating a Dao Body.

For a Grand Luo Golden Immortal to aspire to become a Dao Ancestor, they must first cultivate a top-tier immortal physique. After advancing to Dao Ancestor, they can continue to cultivate their physical body; a further step from a top-tier immortal physique is the Dao Body. Wang Changsheng had heard that few Dao Ancestors manage to cultivate a Dao Body.

The Two-Form Dao Origin Fruit before them was not yet ripe. Ye Haitang set up a formation, and with the help of a supreme-grade auxiliary immortal artifact and the Law of Wood, successfully transplanted the Two-Form Dao Origin Fruit tree, intending to bring it back to Qinglian City for continued cultivation.

They arrived at another bluestone corridor, where three tightly closed stone chambers came into view. There were no restrictions on these doors, and upon opening them, they only found a few green futons and some insect shells. This place was likely where the Immortal Slaying Dao Ancestor and his spirit beasts cultivated.

They emerged from the Immortal Slaying Palace with joyful expressions.

"It's time to leave this place. The Dao Ancestors of the Gus King Tribe might already be on their way," Wang Changsheng said. He summoned his earth-grade immortal ship and carried everyone away from the location.

At the entrance of the dojo, a massive light gate floated high in the sky. Three Grand Luo Golden Immortals were frantically attacking it, and its surface was covered in cracks.

With a loud bang, the light gate shattered, revealing a huge void. The three Grand Luo Golden Immortals looked delighted and were about to enter to search for treasures when an immortal ship flew out of the void, vanishing into the sky with a flash.

"Someone came out! Pursue them!" said a burly man in green robes.

The other party's urgent departure certainly indicated they had acquired something valuable.

Just then, a powerful spatial force emerged, immobilizing them. By the time they broke free, the other party had already vanished without a trace.

Chaos Continent, Qinglian City, Qinglian Peak.

In a certain secret chamber, Wang Qingfeng sat cross-legged near the Ruyi Gate. He took out a red-glowing spell disc, imbued it with an incantation, and a look of delight appeared on his face. He then imbued the Ruyi Gate with another incantation and stepped into it. Not long after, Wang Qingfeng and the others emerged from the Ruyi Gate.

"We're finally back, haha!" Wang Mengbin's expression was excited.

"Don't spread word of this. Qingfeng, give orders to heavily reward Yunlang and Yueru, and have them keep an eye on the situation at the Immortal Slaying Dao Ancestor's dojo," Wang Changsheng instructed.

This time, they owed thanks to Wang Yunlang and Zhang Yueru for their timely report, so they naturally deserved a heavy reward. However, they could not be told that Wang Changsheng and the others had entered the dojo to search for treasures.

The existence of the Ruyi Gate was known only to a select few high-ranking members of the Wang family; otherwise, a leak would cause trouble.

This treasure hunt in the dojo yielded abundant rewards for Wang Changsheng and his group: the Immortal Slaying Dao Ancestor's legacy, two mutated Primordial Spirit Treasures, immortal fruits for breaking through to Dao Ancestor, and immortal fruits for cultivating the physical body. Of course, most importantly, Qing Xuan had fully recovered and now possessed the strength of a Dao Ancestor.

"Understood, Father," Wang Qingfeng replied.

"Qingbai, stay. Everyone else, return to your homes! Do not spread word of this; go into secluded cultivation," Wang Changsheng said.

Wang Qingshan and the others agreed and returned to their respective residences.

Wang Changsheng entered another secret chamber, flicked his sleeve, and the Qinglian Creation Cauldron flew out, landing on the ground.

He opened the cauldron lid, threw several crystal cores inside, and infused them with immortal essence power.

The lotus patterns on the surface of the Qinglian Creation Cauldron emitted dazzling green light. Before long, the lotus patterns returned to normal.

He opened the lid, and the crystal cores had already been purified.

Wang Changsheng put away the crystal cores and walked out. Wang Ruyan and Wang Qingbai were sitting in a stone pavilion, chatting.

"Qingbai, refine these crystal cores into immortal elixirs. Once they're ready, bring them directly to me," Wang Changsheng instructed. He also purified the ten-colored crystal cores and gave them to Wang Qingbai for alchemy.

The ten-colored crystal cores contained immense energy, and when refined into elixirs, their medicinal effects would be excellent.

"Understood, Father," Wang Qingbai agreed and left to carry out the order.

"If we take a few more Snow Amber Ice Ganoderma Elixirs infused with the ten-colored crystal cores, we could save ourselves many years of arduous cultivation," Wang Ruyan said with a smile.

Wang Qingshan and the others had been Grand Luo Golden Immortals in the middle stage for less than two million years. Even if they took Snow Amber Ice Ganoderma Elixirs infused with ten-colored crystal cores, they wouldn't be able to advance to the late Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage. Therefore, these ten-colored crystal cores were to be refined into Snow Amber Ice Ganoderma Elixirs for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan first.

If clan members discovered any more ten-colored Chaos Beasts, Wang Changsheng could use the Ruyi Gate to teleport there and slay them.

Wang Changsheng nodded, chatted for a few moments, then entered a secret chamber where Qing Xuan sat cross-legged on the lid of the Qinglian Creation Cauldron.

"Now that you've recovered, can your actions still be sensed by the Ten-Direction Mother-Child Pagoda or the three Dao artifacts?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"Of course, but only a general direction can be sensed. If it couldn't be sensed at all, I believe Ancestor Dragon would have been able to kill off the weaker Chaos Beasts," Qing Xuan replied.

The Chaos Beasts owe their existence today to the Ten-Direction Mother-Child Pagoda. In every Immortal-Chaos War, the artifact spirits of the three Dao artifacts bind the Ten-Direction Mother-Child Pagoda, while Dao Ancestor level immortals confront Dao Ancestor level Chaos Beasts.

According to Longxiang, each sub-pagoda of the Ten-Direction Mother-Child Pagoda possesses the strength of a Dao Ancestor, with the mother pagoda being the strongest, of course.

"So, you can't just act freely, and your actions can't last too long, otherwise the Ten-Direction Mother-Child Pagoda will pinpoint your general location?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.

"You could say that. It depends on the location. If we're on the Chaos Continent, it's best for me to act less often. Last time, it was likely that Yin-Yang Oddity who detected my presence, leading to the eight tribes uniting to attack the Qilin Clan. As for me, it doesn't matter; ordinary Dao Ancestors can't stop me. But you can't stop a Dao Ancestor," Qing Xuan said.

"Stop a Dao Ancestor!" Wang Changsheng gave a wry smile. "This time, we killed another ten-colored Chaos Beast. After taking the Snow Amber Ice Ganoderma Elixir infused with ten-colored crystal cores, my cultivation speed can significantly increase."

With the Enlightenment Jade Sandalwood Fruit for aspiring to Dao Ancestor, and a defensive mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure, Wang Changsheng could consider attempting to become a Dao Ancestor once he reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Great Perfection stage. What he needed to consider was the method of achieving Dao. Currently, no known Dao Ancestors in the Immortal Realm, including the Chaos Beasts, had achieved Dao through a Supreme Law. The strongest among them was Ancestor Dragon, who achieved Dao through the Law of Strength.

He suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "How does your strength compare to Kunlun Dao Ancestor?"

"He's just an ordinary Dao Ancestor; otherwise, he would have long since flattened the Hunxie King Tribe. If it were Ancestor Dragon or Primordial Phoenix, I might be somewhat wary, but Kunlun Dao Ancestor is nothing to worry about. Though, I haven't fought any other Dao Ancestors; I've only clashed with the Ten-Direction Mother-Child Pagoda," Qing Xuan said.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng sat down cross-legged and took out artifact refinement materials to begin refining. He planned to forge a set of supreme-grade defensive immortal artifacts in preparation for his future tribulation.
