Chapter 4883: Closed-door Intensive Cultivation (None Today)

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stepped out of the cabin and stood on the deck. Wang Yidao, Wang Lihe, and Wang Yong'an came forward to greet them, saying in unison, "Greetings, Ancestors."

Wang Changsheng nodded and instructed, "Yidao, Xiaolong, Xiaohu, follow our route to rendezvous with Haitang. Select a suitable location, set up formations, and establish multiple lines of defense to try and block other Daosons from approaching."

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Yidao and the other two agreed, then departed, piloting a top-tier Dao artifact.

"Lihe, is there anything unusual in the Immortal Realm?" Wang Changsheng asked. He raised his right hand, and a miniature island flew out, instantly expanding. It was the Azure Lotus Immortal Island, on which many cultivators could be seen.

"Nothing unusual, everything is fine. Seven new Daosons have appeared," Wang Lihe reported.

"The Azure Lotus Immortal Island will remain at the entrance to the Chaos Sea. Enemies might approach. Yong'an, take people to set up a grand formation deep within the Sea of Returning Ruins. No cultivators from the Chaos Realm, except for our Wang family members, are permitted to enter the Immortal Realm," Wang Changsheng instructed. If the Asura race attacks, mere Dao formations won't be enough to stop them. Wang Changsheng guarding this location can strengthen its defenses. Anyway, there are no powerful enemies in the Immortal Realm, so the Azure Lotus Immortal Island's location doesn't matter much.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Yong'an agreed and led a group of immortal formation masters to set up the formation.

"Lihe, issue orders to heighten vigilance. There might be Daosons coming to attack," Wang Changsheng instructed Wang Lihe.

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

The green dragon boat landed on Azure Lotus Immortal Island. Wang Yingjie and others returned to cultivate, while Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan went back to Azure Lotus Peak.

"The Asura race sent people to deal with us, disrupting our plans. We had no choice but to retreat to the Immortal Realm," Wang Ruyan sighed.

"It's nothing," Wang Changsheng said indifferently. "Once we cultivate to the late Daoson stage, we can fight back and settle scores with them." He had soul-searched Rong Xin's nascent soul and learned that the Asura race intended for Rong Xin and Chi Yan to destroy the Wang family, locate the Immortal Realm, and then blood-sacrifice the entire Immortal Realm, using its living beings to forge treasures.

"Before we reach the late Daoson stage, I hope the Asura race's Daosons don't come to the Immortal Realm," Wang Ruyan said.

"It shouldn't be that easy for them to come," Wang Changsheng replied, "and I'm not sure if what Haili said is true or false—that a powerful individual mastering six Supreme Daos once appeared in the Sea of Returning Ruins." His face was filled with curiosity.

"That's possible," Wang Ruyan speculated. "Perhaps this person offended the Four Great Clans, or maybe the Sea of Returning Ruins contains unique resources, and this person hoped to master all three thousand Daos!" According to Rong Xin, the Grand Elder of the Asura race only mastered two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Daos. The Grand Elders of the Divine Race, Heavenly Demon Race, and Chaos Race were similar; no Daoson was known to have mastered all three thousand Daos.

"Perhaps," Wang Changsheng said. "Now that we've returned to the Immortal Realm, it will be difficult to contact Qingshan and the others. I hope they are safe. The three great races are hostile towards our human race; as we rise, they will certainly try to deal with us. But once our cultivation advances greatly, that will be their day of doom." As Wang Changsheng finished speaking, his face was filled with killing intent.

After chatting for a while, Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber to cultivate in seclusion.

Deep within the Sea of Returning Ruins, in a certain black sea area, deafening thunder echoed from high above. Thick, ten-colored immortal lightning bolts streaked across the sky, striking downwards. A massive golden light shot up into the sky, highly conspicuous. A green light streaked out from it, stopping with a flash, revealing a corpulent elder in a green robe. His right arm was gone, and his aura was weak. His eyes were filled with terror, as if he had encountered something dreadful.

He took out a small golden mirror, cast a spell into it, and on its surface, a plump woman in a black dress became visible.

"Madam A, we accidentally trespassed into a forbidden zone. Fellow Daoist Rong and the others have all perished; only I remain. The Sea of Returning Ruins has too many restrictions," the green-robed elder reported. When the Asura Daosons arrived at the Sky Moon Immortal Domain, the Wang family had already made their escape. The Asura race then sent Daosons from their affiliated forces into the Sea of Returning Ruins to search for the Wang family, suffering heavy losses. The Sea of Returning Ruins not only contains natural restrictions but also man-made Dao formations. Some are linked grand formations that, once triggered by a Daoson, result in either death or severe injury. To date, twenty Daosons have perished.

"You should come back first!" the woman in the black dress instructed. "The Wang family knew we would look for them, so they deliberately set up these restrictions."

"Alright, I'll head back immediately." The green-robed elder let out a long breath of relief, agreed, and ended the communication.

"Hmph, if they're so capable, they should search the Sea of Returning Ruins themselves, instead of treating us as cannon fodder," the green-robed elder snorted, complaining. He put away the small golden mirror and transformed into a streak of light, departing the area.

In the Chaos Realm, Sky Moon Immortal Domain. On Jade Dragon Immortal Island, numerous foreign races were constantly moving in and out. Unable to find the Wang family, the Asura race could only vent their anger on other human forces. The Peng family, Xu family, and several other human factions were successively annihilated. High-ranking members like Xu Buling and Peng Yuesen managed to escape.

In Jade Dragon Garden, a plump woman in a black dress and Mantuo Gu were sitting in a green stone pavilion, conversing.

"The Wang family's Dao formation masters are quite capable," Na Ru, a late-stage Daoson who had mastered four Supreme Daos, said with a frown. "By combining their formations with the natural restrictions of the Sea of Returning Ruins, they've created considerable trouble for us."

"The Wang family reacted too quickly," Mantuo Gu said with a frown. "We don't know the full extent of the Sea of Returning Ruins. Without a map, it's quite difficult to chart a route ourselves." Unwilling to risk themselves, they sent Daosons from their affiliated forces to search for the Wang family in the Sea of Returning Ruins. After a number of Daosons were killed or injured, those remaining began to slack off. The Sea of Returning Ruins was not a pleasant place to begin with, and those Daosons weren't foolish enough to keep exploring indefinitely. Furthermore, with these Daosons venturing deep into the Sea of Returning Ruins, what they encountered and how they acted was largely up to them.

"Why don't we lead a team ourselves and chart a route?" Na Ru suggested.

"I'm worried about encountering that individual," Mantuo Gu said with a frown. "So many years have passed, and I don't know if he's still there. He mastered six Supreme Daos; otherwise, I would have entered the Sea of Returning Ruins long ago." A powerful master of six Supreme Daos was hidden in the Sea of Returning Ruins. This individual was at odds with all races, came from a rogue cultivation background, and acted alone. However, so much time had passed that many were unaware of his existence.

"A hundred billion years have passed; he might have left the Sea of Returning Ruins by now!" Na Ru speculated.

"Forget it, it's not worth it for the Wang family," Mantuo Gu said. The gains from venturing deep into the Sea of Returning Ruins were not proportional to the risks, making it unnecessary.

"Then let's withdraw our people!" Na Ru suggested. "If the Wang family dares to show their faces again, we'll personally lead a team to eliminate them."

Mantuo Gu nodded in agreement.
