The Divine Spirit Continent, ancestral home of the Divine Race.
In a secluded manor, a tall, thin, silver-haired elder and a short, stout, yellow-robed elder were seated in an azure stone pavilion, deep in conversation.
"The Azure Lotus Immortals, Daoist Master Taihao! Four Supreme Daos! Where did the Wang family come from?" the yellow-robed elder asked, puzzled. This was Ji Lei, a late-stage Daoist Master who commanded five Supreme Daos. News of the Wang family's elimination of Daoist Masters such as Rong Xin and Chi Yan had spread throughout the Chaos Realm, reaching the Divine Race and shaking the entire realm. Zhuge Sheng, the human race's acknowledged strongest Daoist Master, only commanded three Supreme Daos, yet Daoist Master Taihao wielded four, and had even slain Rong Xin and Chi Yan. This was a direct challenge to the Asura Race.
"I'm not sure, but I hear they came from the Immortal Realm!" the silver-haired elder replied. This was Ji Ting, a late-stage Daoist Master who also commanded five Supreme Daos.
"The Immortal Realm? What kind of place is that? A lower realm?" Ji Lei asked curiously.
"No, I hear the Immortal Realm is in the Sea of Returning Ruins, a small corner of the Chaos Realm," Ji Ting explained.
"How did he come to command four Supreme Daos? Do they possess a Dao Comprehension Stele?" Ji Lei inquired with interest.
Ji Ting nodded and recounted everything he knew about the Wang family.
"A Dao Stone, no wonder. One can only say the Wang family is incredibly lucky. However, since they eliminated Rong Xin and Chi Yan, the Asura Race will certainly not let this rest. Should we intervene?" Ji Lei asked.
"If the Wang family seeks our help, we can step forward, but the Dao Comprehension Stele must be handed over to us. However, it seems the Wang family has no intention of asking for our assistance. Having backbone is good, but sometimes, one must know when to yield," Ji Ting said, his tone grave.
"What should we do then? Should we dispatch someone to the Heavenly Moon Immortal Domain?" Ji Lei asked.
"Of course. You should go yourself! If the Asura Race intends to eliminate the Wang family, we naturally must protect them. It would also spite the Asura Race, as they have often opposed us. The Wang family's elimination of Rong Xin and Chi Yan is good for us, but the Dao Comprehension Stele must be given to us," Ji Ting stated.
"Alright, I'll go personally," Ji Lei agreed.
The Myriad Chaos Continent, ancestral home of the Chaos Race. In the Myriad Chaos Garden, Xi and a ten-colored Chaos Beast in humanoid form sat in a stone pavilion, conversing.
"The Azure Lotus Immortals, four Supreme Daos! Where did the Wang family suddenly appear from? They rose so quickly and even dared to kill Rong Xin and Chi Yan," the ten-colored Chaos Beast wondered aloud. This was An, a mid-stage Daoist Master who commanded five Supreme Daos.
"I hear they are from the Immortal Realm, located in the Sea of Returning Ruins, though the veracity of that is uncertain. What is certain is that the Wang family possesses a treasure that aids in comprehending Daos, most likely a Dao Comprehension Stele. You are to make a trip to the Heavenly Moon Immortal Domain. If the Wang family is still there, eliminate them and bring back the Dao Comprehension Stele. It would be best to thoroughly investigate their origins. If an Immortal Realm truly exists, then we will dispatch our elites to conquer it. By sacrificing the beings of the Immortal Realm, we can cultivate more ten-colored clansmen," Xi commanded.
It coveted both the Dao Comprehension Stele and the trillions of beings in the Immortal Realm.
"No problem, I'll go myself," An replied, agreeing.
The Sky Demon Continent, ancestral home of the Sky Demon Race. In the Sky Demon Hall, a portly, black-robed elder sat on the main seat, while a voluptuous woman in a black dress conversed with him. Their bodies were covered in natural patterns, and they were considerably larger than humans, being members of the Sky Demon Race.
"The Wang family! Four Supreme Daos! And they actually killed Rong Xin and Chi Yan. How interesting," the black-robed elder said, an intrigued expression on his face. This was Jian Feng, a late-stage Daoist Master who commanded five Supreme Daos.
"Should we send someone to the Heavenly Moon Immortal Domain? Rumor has it the Wang family possesses a Dao Comprehension Stele and originates from the Immortal Realm, where beings are said to number in the trillions," the black-dressed woman stated. This was Jian Yun, a late-stage Daoist Master who commanded four Supreme Daos.
"Yes, we must send someone. If we can obtain the Dao Comprehension Stele, that would be ideal. If not, then eliminate the Asura Race's Daoist Masters and frame the Wang family – and by extension, the Divine Race – to incite conflict between the Divine Race and the Asura Race. The more fiercely they fight, the better it is for us," Jian Feng instructed.
If the Asura Race's Daoist Masters were to die at the hands of the Wang family, the Asura Race would undoubtedly hold the Divine Race accountable. Since the Azure Lotus Immortals dared to kill Rong Xin and Chi Yan, they would certainly dare to kill other Daoist Masters of the Asura Race.
"Understood. I'll go myself," Jian Yun replied, agreeing.
Wang Changsheng could never have imagined that their elimination of Rong Xin and Chi Yan would attract the attention of the four major races, each employing their own methods and harboring their own schemes.
Even if Wang Changsheng knew, he wouldn't care, as he was currently in the Sea of Returning Ruins!
A green dragon boat soared swiftly through the sky, with Ye Haitang standing on its deck, steering it.
In one of the cabins, Wang Changsheng held a golden jade box containing five golden pills, each marked with nine silver spots on its surface.
"Nine-Star Profound Xin Pills!" Wang Changsheng murmured to himself. These were unique secret pills of the Golden Horn Race, capable of aiding Daoist Masters in cultivating a Saint Body.
Over the years, Wang Changsheng had attempted to cultivate a Saint Body using three external Asura physiques, but without success.
After eliminating Rong Xin and others, he had acquired numerous resources, including two bottles of Nine-Star Profound Xin Pills.
Wang Changsheng picked up one of the Nine-Star Profound Xin Pills and swallowed it.
The pill melted upon entry. Soon after, Wang Changsheng felt his body heat up; a surge of intense warmth rose from his abdomen, as if he were being roasted by fire, and this fiery energy rapidly spread.
Wang Changsheng felt as if he had fallen into a volcano, his entire body burning, his skin gradually turning blood-red, and his veins bulging.
He quickly circulated his energy to refine the medicinal power.
The green dragon boat came to a halt, and Ye Haitang's delicate brows furrowed.
Ahead lay a vast, boundless white glacier. Chilling winds howled, and countless white snowflakes danced in the air.
"What's going on? Did we take a wrong turn?" Wang Huizheng asked, bewildered, holding a green beast hide map.
They were returning along their original path, but there had been no sign of such a massive glacier on their way here!
"We didn't take a wrong turn. This is likely an illusion, created either by the Heaven Dream Divine Palace's protective array or by other natural restrictions," Ye Haitang said, frowning.
"Natural restrictions? So sudden? And such a large glacier appeared?" Wang Huizheng questioned, puzzled.
"Nothing is impossible! To be safe, let's go around it. If it's an illusion, that's fine, but I'm worried it's not. Either way, this shows that the Sea of Returning Ruins is more formidable than we imagined. It won't be easy for the Asura Race to reach the Immortal Realm either," Ye Haitang stated.
"Then let's bypass it," Wang Huizheng agreed.
"Not so fast. I'll set up a grand array to conceal this area and mislead other Daoist Masters," Ye Haitang said.
She took out array flags and plates, beginning to set up a Dao Array that would conceal the glacier ahead. Any Daoist Master passing by would struggle to discover the glacier and would instead fall into the array.
After setting up a series of interlocking grand arrays, Ye Haitang formed a hand seal, and the green dragon boat circled around the glacier.
