Chapter 4885: Late Stage of Dao Sovereign

A billion years have passed.

Profound Heaven Immortal Island, located within the Profound Heaven Immortal Domain of the Chaos Realm, serves as the largest market and is under the control of the Zhuge family. The Zhuge family is a human faction heavily supported by the Divine Race, boasting numerous experts. Zhuge Sheng, a renowned figure, hails from this very family. Zhuge Sheng was once widely regarded as the strongest Human Dao Venerable in the Chaos Realm. However, with the sudden appearance of the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple, the title of the strongest Human Dao Venerable now belongs to Grand Expanse Dao Venerable.

The streets were bustling with activity, teeming with people and carriages, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

Within a secluded manor, Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingfeng sat in a green stone pavilion, deep in conversation.

“Let them fight among themselves; we'll stay out of it,” Wang Qingshan stated. He is currently a mid-stage Dao Venerable, having mastered over 1,300 Grand Daos, including two Supreme Grand Daos. Without the Dao Comprehension Stele, his efficiency in comprehending these Daos is relatively low. The Asura Race and the affiliated races of the Chaos Race were engaged in a fierce battle over a cluster of Soul Grand Dao, with Dao Venerables from both sides joining the fray.

“It’s a pity our power isn’t greater; otherwise, we’d truly like to join in the excitement,” Wang Qingfeng said with a tone of regret. He has currently mastered over 1,200 Grand Daos, including two Supreme Grand Daos.

“We'll gather resources and have Haitang transport them back to the Immortal Realm. Once Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt’s cultivation significantly advances, we’ll settle accounts with the Asura Race,” Wang Qingshan said. Some members of the Wang family who had remained in the Chaos Realm were discovered and killed by the Asura Race, their bodies subsequently displayed at the entrance of the large market. Fortunately, they had dispersed and were unaware of each other's whereabouts, which prevented the exposure of other clan members.

Wang Qingfeng produced a red-glowing dharma plate, infused it with a spell, and Wang Changsheng's voice resonated: “We’re at your doorstep; please open the door!”

“Yes, father.” Wang Qingfeng’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly walked towards the courtyard gate. He opened the courtyard gate to reveal a blue-robed young man with ordinary features and a woman in a blue skirt standing at the entrance. The young man and the woman entered, and Wang Qingfeng closed the door behind them. They then revealed their true appearances: Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Both Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had advanced to late-stage Dao Venerable. Wang Changsheng had currently mastered 2,200 Grand Daos, including five Supreme Grand Daos, lacking only the Dao of Reincarnation. Wang Ruyan had mastered five Supreme Grand Daos and 2,100 Grand Daos, still lacking the Dao of Time. She had also successfully cultivated a Saint Body.

The Asura Race had dispatched individuals into the Sea of Guixu to find them, but after suffering significant losses, they eventually gave up. Meanwhile, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingfeng, and others had gone into hiding under assumed names within the major immortal domains of the Chaos Realm, diligently collecting resources. Once the immediate danger passed, Ye Haitang led a group to the Chaos Realm to rendezvous with Wang Qingshan and the others, collecting the cultivation resources to be transported back to the Immortal Realm.

By mastering fifty-one more Grand Daos, Wang Changsheng would reach the Grand Completion stage of Dao Venerable. With the Dao Comprehension Stele in hand, Wang Changsheng's efficiency in comprehending Grand Daos was very high. However, he had consistently been unable to comprehend the Dao of Reincarnation. This was not surprising; if simply possessing the Dao Comprehension Stele allowed one to comprehend all six Supreme Grand Daos, there wouldn't be so few Dao Venerables who had mastered all six.

Even within the Chaos Realm, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan ranked among the foremost Dao Venerables. Their Natal Heavenly Dao Artifacts had all been infused with Primordial Dao Stones, granting them immense power. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had come to the Chaos Realm on this occasion to search for the origin of Supreme Grand Daos and to collect resources along the way. With their current power, only Dao Venerables who had mastered six Supreme Grand Daos would be able to stop them.

“Ninth Uncle, Ninth Aunt, why have you come yourselves? If there was anything, you could have simply sent Haitang to inform us,” Wang Qingshan said.

“We came to search for the origin of Supreme Grand Daos. Your power is too weak; even if such an origin truly appeared, you would struggle to seize it.”

“The origin of Supreme Grand Daos? The Asura Race and the affiliated races of the Chaos Race are currently fighting fiercely over a cluster of Soul Grand Dao origin.” Wang Qingshan then briefly recounted the full story.

“If we were to rush there now, the Soul Grand Dao origin would have already been refined. We are considering traveling to the Land of Guixu to search for the origin of Supreme Grand Daos. For now, you should use the Dao Comprehension Stele to comprehend more Daos,” Wang Ruyan said, taking out the Dao Comprehension Stele and handing it to Wang Qingshan. Wang Yingjie, Wang Yidao, and others had used the Dao Comprehension Stele to comprehend Grand Daos, successfully comprehending three Supreme Grand Daos, and remained in the Immortal Realm. Ye Haitang, Wang Yong’an, Bai Yuqi, and other Dao Formation Masters had established multiple sets of Dao formations, constructing several defensive lines. Even if a Dao Venerable were to invade the Immortal Realm, Wang Yidao and the others would be able to repel them.

“Yes, Ninth Aunt,” Wang Qingshan agreed.

“Mother, are you and father going to the Land of Guixu now?” Wang Qingfeng asked with a frown.

“Not immediately. This matter isn't urgent; we’ll go later. First, we must settle accounts with the Asura Race. They killed our clan members, and a blood debt must be paid in blood.” Wang Changsheng’s face was filled with killing intent. He knew that a portion of their clan members who had remained in the Chaos Realm had been exposed and subsequently annihilated by the Asura Race.

“Blood for blood, tooth for tooth. Even if we cannot defeat the Grand Elder of the Asura Race, eliminating their other Dao Venerables will pose no problem,” Wang Ruyan said in a deep voice.

“Father, Dao Venerables from the Divine Race tried to contact me through an intermediary. However, they don’t know my exact location. Should we reach out to them?” Wang Qingfeng said.

“Who did they send to contact you? There won't be any issues, will there?” Wang Changsheng said with a frown.

“They asked Daoist Xu Buling to contact me, stating they wished to speak with you. I never revealed my whereabouts.” Wang Qingfeng took out a small red mirror. He maintained contact with Xu Buling, but only via a Heavenly Dao Artifact.

Wang Changsheng took the small red mirror, infused it with a spell, and as the mirror surface shimmered, Ji Lei’s image appeared.

“Daoist Wang, we finally managed to contact you,” Ji Lei said with a smile.

“I heard Daoist Ji was seeking me. Is there something you wish to discuss?” Wang Changsheng asked.

“Nothing in particular. We heard the Asura Race intends to target you, and we wish to offer assistance. So many years have passed; Daoist Wang, surely you have mastered all six Supreme Grand Daos by now?” Ji Lei asked.

“There’s no need to trouble Daoist Ji with this. If an opportunity arises, we can certainly cooperate, but for now, let’s forgo it.”

“Very well. Should you require assistance from our Divine Race, please don’t hesitate to ask. By the way, there is one matter I wish to inquire about with Daoist Wang, though you are free to decline to answer,” Ji Lei said.

“What is it? Daoist Ji, please speak freely.”

“Have you not encountered any Dao Venerables who have mastered all six Supreme Grand Daos in the Sea of Guixu?” Ji Lei asked.

“No, we haven't. Are there such powerful individuals in the Sea of Guixu?” Wang Changsheng asked curiously.

Ji Lei nodded and replied, “There was, long ago – perhaps ten billion years past. It’s quite normal you haven’t heard; this individual caused immense upheaval back then, showing utter disregard for even the Four Great Races and acting entirely on their own whims.”

“We haven't encountered them.”

“Daoist Wang, I am aware that the Asura Race killed some of your clan members. If you seek revenge, I advise you not to act rashly, lest you fall into one of their schemes,” Ji Lei reminded him.

“Thank you for the warning, Daoist Ji. We are well aware of the situation. Let’s leave it at that for now.” Wang Changsheng’s tone was flat.

“Alright, then.” Noting Wang Changsheng’s disinclination to converse further, Ji Lei wisely terminated the communication.
