Chapter 4875: 麻烦

Over 500 million years had passed.

In a certain azure sea region of the Sky Moon Immortal Realm, a streak of silver light rapidly streaked across the sky at high speed.

In less than fifteen minutes, the silver light halted. As its escape light retracted, it revealed a shimmering silver flying vessel. Onboard this vessel stood a thirty-six-story silver pavilion, indicating it was a flight-type Heavenly Dao artifact.

Wang Mengbin, Wang Yingjie, and over a dozen other individuals stood on the deck, each with a different expression.

"We've finally made it," Wang Yingjie exclaimed with delight, gazing at the distant Green Lotus Immortal Island.

They had spent over 500 million years in the Immortal Realm. With no major issues there, they could focus on comprehending the Great Dao. Wang Yidao, Wang Lihe, and Wang Yong'an had led teams back to the Immortal Realm, not only to transport cultivation resources but also to relieve Wang Mengbin and Wang Yingjie, thereby taking over the duty of guarding the Immortal Realm.

Both Wang Mengbin and Wang Yingjie were currently at the early Great Dao stage, having not yet mastered any Supreme Great Dao.

Wang Mengbin made a hand seal, and the silver flying vessel glowed with a dazzling silver light as it sped towards Green Lotus Immortal Island.

The moment the silver flying vessel entered Green Lotus Immortal Island, Wang Changsheng's voice reached Wang Mengbin and Wang Yingjie: "Mengbin, Yingjie, come to Green Lotus Peak."

Wang Mengbin and Wang Yingjie assented and proceeded to Green Lotus Peak, where they found Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Qingbai seated in a blue stone pavilion, engaged in casual conversation.

Wang Changsheng had forged the Enlightenment Stele to aid in the comprehension of the Great Dao. He spent over 20 million years successfully comprehending the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of Destiny, after which he handed the stele over to Wang Ruyan for her own enlightenment.

Wang Ruyan spent over 20 million years comprehending the Great Dao of Karma and the Great Dao of Reincarnation. Additionally, she refined various Great Dao origins, successfully advancing to the middle stage of Dao Sovereign.

Dao Sovereigns such as Wang Chuanming, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingling, and Wang Qingbai took turns utilizing the Enlightenment Stele to comprehend the Great Dao. In addition, with the help of various auxiliary items like Ten Directions Enlightenment Talismans, Enlightenment Wine, and Enlightenment Pills, they all managed to comprehend Supreme Great Daos, differing only in the number of Daos mastered.

The Wang family had become the master of the Sky Moon Immortal Realm. The Chen family, on the other hand, had been severely crippled by the Heavenly Kui Clan; had multiple human factions not intervened, the Chen family would have been annihilated.

"Old Ancestor, Ancestor Qingbai, you've both advanced to the middle stage," Wang Mengbin remarked, his face full of envy.

"You two will be there soon," Wang Changsheng replied with a smile.

He had currently mastered over 1,300 types of Great Daos, not far from reaching the late stage of Dao Sovereign.

After the destruction of the Fiery Essence Clan and the Beastman Clan, the Wang family acquired a vast quantity of Great Dao origins, significantly accelerating the cultivation speed of their family members. Furthermore, the Wang family had firmly established its reputation.

With two Dao Sovereigns who had mastered two Supreme Great Daos each, the Wang family was now considered a top-tier force even within the larger Immortal Realms. The Wang family no longer needed to hide its strength and was vigorously expanding.

Following the demise of the Fiery Essence Clan, Heaven Flame Island came under the Wang family's control and was renamed Profound Sun Island. There, a market was established to sell resources essential for Dao Sovereigns, including Heavenly Dao artifacts, Dao Pills, Dao Wine, Dao Talismans, and Dao Arrays, thus enabling the collection of immortal cultivation resources.

In addition, Dao artifacts, Fifth-tier Immortal Puppets, and Fifth-tier Immortal Arrays were also available for sale, drawing numerous cultivators to Profound Sun Island to acquire cultivation resources. This significantly enhanced the Wang family's capacity and efficiency in resource collection, with large quantities of Great Dao origins being transported back to Green Lotus Immortal Island for the Wang family's Dao Sovereigns to refine.

The Xu family, the Peng family, and the Moonlit Immortal Palace all held the Wang family in high esteem. The Wang family had become the undisputed hegemon of the Sky Moon Immortal Realm, leading multiple major forces to send Dao Sovereigns to establish contact, seeking alliances and marriage ties.

"We heard from Lihe that Old Ancestor refined the Enlightenment Stele, which has significantly improved the efficiency of comprehending the Great Dao," Wang Yingjie said excitedly.

"Qingshan and the others have all used the Enlightenment Stele to comprehend the Great Dao, and now it's your turn. You've worked hard over the years. There hasn't been anything unusual in the Immortal Realm, has there?" Wang Changsheng asked with concern.

Without external assistance, Dao Sovereigns typically spend tens of millions of years comprehending ordinary Great Daos, and hundreds of millions of years for Supreme Great Daos. Many Dao Sovereigns have spent hundreds of millions, or even over a billion years, attempting to comprehend Supreme Great Daos without success.

Wang Changsheng, by utilizing the Enlightenment Stele, comprehended two Supreme Great Daos in just over 20 million years, a testament to the stele's invaluable contribution. Its efficiency would be even greater for comprehending ordinary Great Daos.

Of course, by the late stage of Dao Sovereign, the Enlightenment Stele's utility diminishes. Otherwise, after hundreds of millions of years of using it, one would have mastered thousands of Great Daos.

"The Immortal Realm has been normal. We haven't endured any hardship; we mostly cultivated in our immortal caves. How could that compare to Old Ancestor, who has been expanding our territory in the Chaos Realm?" Wang Mengbin sighed with admiration.

"You've cultivated in the Immortal Realm for many years, but resources there are scarce. In the Chaos Realm, your progress will be much faster. These are the resources prepared for you. The Enlightenment Stele is located on Green Lotus Peak. Mengbin, you will use it first for 20 million years to comprehend the Great Dao, and then it will be Yingjie's turn." Wang Ruyan took out two storage bracelets and handed them to Wang Mengbin and Wang Yingjie.

"Yes, Old Ancestor," Wang Mengbin and Wang Yingjie responded in unison.

Wang Qingcheng walked in, frowning. "Father, Mother, something terrible has happened," he reported. "Several clan members at the Dao Ancestor level have been killed. We don't know who did it, but it seems to be targeting us."

Only Dao Sovereigns and Dao Ancestors are permitted to travel freely. Some Grand Luo Golden Immortals are allowed to accompany clan elders, specifically to prevent other cultivators from discovering their true origins.

The Wang family had always been highly cautious, but as time passed, such a secret was bound to be revealed. Wang Changsheng had considered this inevitability, which was why he had dispatched multiple Dao Sovereigns to garrison the Immortal Realm and established a Dao array at the entrance to the Chaos Sea.

"Send people to investigate," Wang Changsheng commanded. "I want to see who dares to kill our clan members."

With his current strength, he feared nothing, as long as he didn't encounter the elite Dao Sovereigns of the Four Great Clans.

"Yes, Father," Wang Qingcheng replied.

"They wouldn't follow our route to the Immortal Realm, would they?" Wang Qingbai asked, his face etched with worry.

"Impossible," Wang Mengbin stated. "Only a small number of high-ranking members know the route. At most, they might be aware of the Immortal Realm's existence."

When they traveled to the Chaos Realm, they brought many clan members. However, most of the time, these clan members remained in their cabins and were completely unaware of the precise route. The Wang family treated the routes with extreme importance, enforcing strict regulations, such that the routes could only be compromised if the enemy eliminated high-ranking Wang family members.

"Dispatch a few more Dao Sovereigns back to the Immortal Realm to strengthen vigilance," Wang Changsheng commanded. "Any cultivators who are not from our Wang family and attempt to enter the Immortal Realm shall be killed without mercy."

He absolutely would not permit cultivators from the Chaos Realm to enter the Immortal Realm. To a certain extent, the Immortal Realm served as the Wang family's ancestral land and primary stronghold. As long as the Immortal Realm existed, the Wang family would have a secure base, allowing them to advance or retreat as needed.

"Yes, Father," Wang Qingcheng agreed, then departed to carry out the order.

"They dare to kill our clan members? It seems they didn't take it seriously when we annihilated the Fiery Essence Clan and the Beastman Clan last time. We've been too lenient," Wang Ruyan said with a grim expression.

It was highly probable that the Heavenly Kui Clan was responsible for this incident, though other forces could not be ruled out.

"As long as it's not one of the Four Great Clans who did this, we will annihilate them," Wang Changsheng declared, his face filled with murderous intent.
