Chapter 4750: Refining Defensive Taoist Artifacts

On Qinglian Peak of Qinglian Immortal Island, Wang Qingfeng stood before the Ruyi Gate in a secret chamber. He cast a spell, and the Ruyi Gate glowed with dazzling spiritual light. He stepped through the gate, and not long after, Wang Qingfeng, Wang Changsheng, Wang Qingshan, and others emerged from it.

"We're finally back," Bai Linger said, her face alight with joy.

"I can't believe Seventh Brother and Seventh Sister-in-law were favored by Senior Jian Er and received his legacy," Wang Qingfeng said excitedly. "Now our family has three Dao Ancestors!"

"I also didn't expect that after this trip, I'd return as a Dao Ancestor," Wang Qingshan said, volunteering. "Ninth Uncle, I'll go look for Haitang and the others! No need to trouble you."

The whereabouts of Ye Haitang and the other two were unknown, and Wang Changsheng had planned to search for them.

"Count me in, I can help too," Wang Changsheng said, looking thoughtful. He was about to say something when Wang Qingfeng took out a red glowing spell disk and cast a spell into it. Wang Yixin's surprised voice rang out: "Ancestor Qingfeng, Ancestor Haitang and the others are back!"

"Yixin, tell them to come to Qinglian Peak," Wang Changsheng said. "I have some questions for them."

"Yes, Grand Ancestor," Wang Yixin agreed.

"They're out of danger, no need to look for them anymore," Wang Changsheng mused. "I wonder where they've been, and why they're only coming back now."

"We'll find out once we talk to them. Let's go outside and talk," Wang Changsheng said, stepping out.

He walked to a green stone pavilion and sat down. Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingfeng, and Bai Linger sat beside him.

Not long after, Wang Yixin, Ye Haitang, Wang Mengbin, and Wang Yingjie arrived.

"Oh, Cousin Qingshan, you've become a Dao Ancestor!" Ye Haitang exclaimed in surprise, feeling the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from Wang Qingshan.

Wang Mengbin and Wang Yingjie were filled with shock. They hadn't seen him for millions of years, and Wang Qingshan had actually advanced to Dao Ancestor.

"It was a fortunate encounter; it's a long story," Wang Qingshan said. "By the way, where did you go? Why was there no news for millions of years? Ninth Uncle was about to go looking for you personally."

"Cousin Haitang, please sit down first and tell us slowly," Wang Qingfeng said, motioning for them to sit. "During the time you were missing, we were incredibly worried. Yixin and I even received reprimands from Father. It's a good thing you returned safely, otherwise Father wouldn't have spared us."

"It's good that you're back safely," Wang Changsheng instructed. "Yixin, tell the clan members to stop searching for them. This time it's fine, but don't let it happen again."

"Yes, Grand Ancestor," Wang Yixin agreed and left to carry out the order.

"Haitang, were you trapped in a forbidden area, or did you go somewhere else? Why are you only returning now?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Uncle, it's a long story," Ye Haitang briefly recounted the events. "We traveled to that perilous area and encountered a spatial storm. Unable to avoid it, we were swept into a desert. Strictly speaking, it was the periphery of the Tatian Sect. The area was covered by a Tier-5 Immortal Formation, but fortunately, the formation was severely damaged, with less than one percent of its power remaining. And Fellow Daoist Shen had no ill intentions, which is how we managed to survive..."

"Tatian Sect? Tatian Dao Ancestor?" Wang Changsheng's expression became serious.

According to Jian Er's introduction, Jian Yi was a protector of the Ancient Immortal Court. Multiple Dao Ancestors from the Tatian Sect had also joined the Ancient Immortal Court, and Tatian Dao Ancestor was an enforcement elder of the Ancient Immortal Court, holding a very high status.

"Tatian Sect? Qiuting mentioned it to me."

"Qiuting? How does she know about it?" Wang Qingshan asked, puzzled.

"Tenth Sister brought back a batch of ancient texts from an ancient cultivator's immortal abode," Wang Changsheng explained. "They introduce many things about the Chaos Era. I gave them to Qiuting and Chuanlin to organize, and among them are texts introducing the Tatian Sect. How about this! I'll contact Qiuting and Chuanlin and have them come over to explain the situation of the Tatian Sect." Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Alright, have them come over!"

Wang Qingfeng took out a red glowing spell disk, cast a spell into it, and said: "Qiuting, Seventh Brother and Seventh Sister-in-law are back safely, unharmed. You and Chuanlin come to Qinglian Peak and bring those ancient texts. We need to ask you about some situations regarding the Chaos Era."

"Father and Mother are back safely? That's wonderful, we'll be right over!" Wang Qiuting's voice was filled with excitement.

Not long after, Wang Qiuting and Wang Chuanlin arrived.

"Qiuting, have you finished organizing those ancient texts? How much do you know about the Tatian Sect?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"The Tatian Sect was a super powerful sect during the Chaos Era," Wang Qiuting explained. "At its peak, it had nine Dao Ancestors, with Tatian Dao Ancestor as its founding patriarch. The disciples of the Tatian Sect participated in at least two Great Dao Wars. After the Great Dao Wars ended, the Tatian Sect disappeared without a trace. It might have been annihilated by the Chaos Beasts, or perhaps it went into hiding."

What she said was all recorded in the ancient texts and was not comprehensive. After all, Fairy Fuyue was only a Dao Ancestor of one era and didn't span all eras.

"Nine Dao Ancestors? Fellow Daoist Shen also said that," Ye Haitang said. "However, we don't know where they are now. If Tatian Dao Ancestor returns, perhaps the formation can be repaired."

Shen Lei controlled the formation to send Ye Haitang and the other two out of the Yellow Sand Continent. It would be difficult for them to return to the Yellow Sand Continent.

"The Chaos Beasts know where the Tatian Sect is," Wang Qingshan analyzed. "They should have moved and won't remain there. It's not difficult for a Dao Ancestor."

"Oh, by the way, Uncle, this is what Tatian Dao Ancestor gave us," Ye Haitang said, taking out a yellow storage bracelet and handing it to Wang Changsheng. "He asked us to tell you and Aunt that the Great Dao War is not far off, and he advises you to open up new fundamental laws as soon as possible."

Wang Changsheng scanned it with his divine sense, his face revealing joy. The storage bracelet contained many Tier-5 immortal materials. However, it was considerably less than Jian Er's legacy.

Tatian Dao Ancestor had only survived to this generation after so many years. It was estimated that most of his hidden preparations had been discovered, and he didn't have many cultivation resources left.

"Since there are reclusive sects, could there also be reclusive Dao families or reclusive races?" Wang Qingfeng speculated.

"That's possible," Wang Changsheng instructed. "Tatian Dao Ancestor's reminder is very important. If a Great Dao War erupts, our family having only three Dao Ancestors won't be enough; our strength is still a bit weak. You all should go back and cultivate! I hope you can advance to Dao Ancestor as soon as possible. Also, conceal the news of Qingshan becoming a Dao Ancestor. A tree that stands out in the forest will be toppled by the wind. Our family already has two Dao Ancestors, which has attracted the attention of the Chaos Beasts. With one more Dao Ancestor, the Chaos Beasts will pay even more attention to our family. They might even send powerful beings who have opened up four or five fundamental laws to deal with us."

Since they knew about the existence of the Great Dao War, they naturally had to prepare to face the coming Great Dao War.

Wang Qingshan and the others agreed. They got up and left, returning to their respective residences.

Wang Changsheng didn't have any defensive Dao artifacts. He had several defensive mutated Grandmist Spirit Treasures, and combined with his Dao body, he could try to open up new fundamental laws. However, to be safe, he planned to refine a defensive Dao artifact first.

He entered a secret chamber, and the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron came into view.

He sat down cross-legged and took out refining materials to forge a Dao artifact.
