Chapter 4796

Thirty thousand years passed quickly.

On Chaos Continent, Green Lotus Immortal Island.

On Green Lotus Peak, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan sat in a stone pavilion, while twenty members of the Wang family stood before them with solemn expressions. Wang Yixin stood to the side. These twenty family members were among the most outstanding in the Wang family, ranging from True Immortals to Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

Wang Changsheng praised, his gaze falling on the four men: "Huizheng, Huidai, Huiguang, Huiming, it's very impressive that you were able to comprehend a supreme law so soon after advancing to the True Immortal stage." Wang Huizheng, Wang Huidai, Wang Huiguang, and Wang Huiming had comprehended a supreme law shortly after reaching the True Immortal stage, making them rising stars of the Wang family. Wang Changsheng was unsure when the Great Dao War would erupt, so he could only do his best to enhance the family's overall strength. Cultivating more excellent family members, especially those capable of comprehending a supreme law, was a key priority for the Wang family.

A tall, thin young man in golden robes replied seriously, "It's all thanks to the family's nurturing. Your grandsons will work even harder in the future to master the law."

"Exactly," echoed a handsome young man in blue robes, "we'll strive to master the law."

"While cultivating laws is undoubtedly important, cultivation level is equally vital. You must balance both," Wang Changsheng stated. "If you encounter problems in your cultivation, consult your elders frequently. If they cannot resolve your issues, you may come to us, and we will clarify them for you."

"Yes, honored ancestor," Wang Huizheng and the others replied in unison, their expressions respectful. The Wang family now had over three hundred million Immortals spread across tens of thousands of immortal realms. To meet Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan and receive their guidance on cultivation was a tremendous honor.

"Considering the time," Wang Ruyan said, "Zen Master Mingren's Dao Ancestor Celebration is about to commence. Let's depart!"

Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingling, Wang Qingbai, and others had opened their third fundamental laws and were currently cultivating them. With their current strength, even if Dao Ancestor-level chaotic beasts like Chen and Xin attacked Green Lotus Immortal Island, they would be able to defend it. News of Zen Master Mingren's Dao Ancestor Celebration had long spread, and the chaotic beasts surely knew about it. There was a chance they might use this opportunity to attack Green Lotus Immortal Island. Since Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were attending the celebration, a Dao Ancestor had to remain behind to guard Green Lotus Immortal Island.

Wang Changsheng nodded, exchanged a few words with Wang Yixin, and with a flick of his sleeve, a green lotus platform flew out and floated in mid-air. He and Wang Ruyan stepped onto it, followed by Wang Huizheng and the others. Wang Changsheng activated a spell, and the green lotus platform immediately glowed brightly, departing Green Lotus Immortal Island.

In less than fifteen minutes, Wang Changsheng and his group arrived at Myriad Buddha City. Abbess Qingyi led a group out to greet them, saying respectfully, "Seniors Wang and Wang, your esteemed presence honors us. Forgive our delay in welcoming you. Senior Martial Uncle Mingren and Junior Martial Uncle Miaode have been awaiting you for some time."

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Please lead the way."

Abbess Qingyi instructed, "Yujing, please ensure Seniors Wang's family members are well looked after." After giving the instruction, Abbess Qingyi led Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan to a secluded manor.

Zen Master Mingren, Grandmaster Miaode, Dao Ancestor Qinghou, Dao Ancestor Tianwu, Dao Ancestor Xingchen, and Shan Yao were seated in a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

Grandmaster Miaode spoke, greeting them, "Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, you've finally arrived."

"Long time no see, Grandmaster Miaode," Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

Dao Ancestor Qinghou congratulated them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "It's only been a short while, and Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang have already advanced to the mid-Dao Ancestor stage. Congratulations!" Opening four to six fundamental laws signifies the mid-Dao Ancestor stage. To open four fundamental laws typically requires at least forty million years of cultivation. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had been Dao Ancestors for over forty million years, as had Dao Ancestor Qinghou and Dao Ancestor Xingchen. However, the latter two had not yet opened their fourth fundamental law and remained at the early Dao Ancestor stage, mainly due to a lack of suitable treasures, immortal talismans, and formations. The Wang family possessed diverse skilled artisans who, given the right materials, could craft Dao artifacts, fifth-tier immortal talismans, fifth-tier immortal formations, and fifth-tier immortal pills. Sensing the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, the other Dao Ancestors showed expressions of envy alongside their surprise.

"Compared to Fellow Daoist Qing, we still have room for improvement," Wang Changsheng replied modestly.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Qing to also come for Zen Master Mingren's Dao Ancestor Celebration," Wang Ruyan remarked, puzzled.

"Didn't I hear you two would be attending? So I came to join the fun," Dao Ancestor Qinghou replied. "What about Fellow Daoist Jin? Is he not here?" He believed that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan must have received help from Dao Ancestor Qihong to open four fundamental laws. Dao Ancestor Qinghou's assumption wasn't entirely wrong; had Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan not already opened two supreme fundamental laws each, the Five Elements Immortal Transformation Formation provided by Dao Ancestor Qihong would have been enough for Wang Changsheng to open five fundamental laws.

"No, he's not," Wang Changsheng casually replied. "Does Fellow Daoist Qing need to find him for something?" Dao Ancestor Qihong and Dao Ancestor Qinghou knew each other, but their relationship was only ordinary.

"Not really," Dao Ancestor Qinghou said. "I just thought he was inseparable from you two."

"Fellow Daoist Qing must be talking about the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron, right? We are capable of protecting this treasure," Wang Changsheng stated calmly. Wang Changsheng's tone was calm. The Green Lotus Creation Cauldron was a high-grade Dao artifact, so it was no surprise that other Dao Ancestors coveted it.

"That would be best," Dao Ancestor Qinghou explained. "I was merely concerned that this treasure might be seized by the chaotic beasts. Don't overthink it."

"You needn't worry about that, Fellow Daoist Qing," Wang Changsheng stated. "The chaotic beasts cannot take this treasure." He knew very well that without Dao Ancestor Qihong's protection, Dao Ancestor Qinghou might have tried to seize the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron during the last Immortal-Chaos War.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, are you the only ones who have come? Did no other Dao Ancestors from your family attend?" Zen Master Mingren quickly interjected, changing the subject.

"No, they are in seclusion cultivating," Wang Ruyan replied. "Zen Master Mingren, did you not invite other Dao Ancestors?"

"I also invited two other fellow Daoists," Zen Master Mingren said with a smile. "Speaking of which, I owe my advancement to the Dao Ancestor stage largely to their help."

Grandmaster Miaode took out a glittering golden dharma disk, inserted a spell, and announced with delight, "Grand Ancestor Mingren, Fellow Daoist Xu and Madam Liu have arrived." In terms of seniority, Grandmaster Miaode was Zen Master Mingren's grand-disciple. Even after advancing to the Dao Ancestor stage, he still referred to him as "Grand Ancestor."

"Please, invite them in quickly," Zen Master Mingren instructed.

Grandmaster Miaode nodded, activated a spell, and made a series of gestures. Soon after, a moderately built young man in red robes and a full-figured woman in a white dress entered. Both were at the mid-Dao Ancestor stage.

"I am Xu Yan. Greetings, fellow Daoists," the young man in red robes said.

"I am Liu Yixue. Greetings, fellow Daoists," the woman in the white dress added.

Wang Changsheng and the others introduced themselves in turn, thus becoming acquainted.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, Madam Liu, you've finally arrived. Please, have a seat quickly," Zen Master Mingren said, motioning them to sit down. He personally picked up the teapot and poured them tea.
