Chapter 499: Huashen Family Meeting
When Wang Bin received the message from the Fire Phoenix Venerable, his heart sank suddenly - the battle between humans and demons has begun?
He sighed inwardly, thinking that the Wang family's foundation was not strong enough and his own strength was also a little lacking. It would be great if he could develop steadily for another hundred years.
Unfortunately, personal will was too insignificant in the face of the greater trends in the world of immortal cultivation. His strength had not yet reached its peak, and he was powerless to influence the storm that was about to sweep across the world.
Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Wang Bin understood that the most urgent thing was to deal with the current situation.
He decided to leave for Xihai City tomorrow to investigate. Before that, he had to properly arrange the affairs of Baiyun City.
He called Du Xiaoyue and ordered the scale of the earth dragon breeding base to be expanded three times.
Then he found Hu Niu and told her to continue breeding the Green Rock Turtle Monster: "Once the number of breeding turtles reaches 300, mark out a piece of land in the secret realm and begin large-scale breeding.
We don't have enough manpower, let's go find Du Juan and the others to find a solution."
He also instructed Liu Yiyi and Chu Tianqing to continue studying the communication formation.
The duties of the rest of the staff remain unchanged and they will continue to perform their duties as usual.
Finally, Wang Bin arrived at Baiyun City through the teleportation array and found Xuan Cang who was in charge there.
The two of them discussed the current situation and subsequent arrangements in detail throughout the night, until the sky was just beginning to break.
It's time to go.
"Master Xuan, Baiyun City is entrusted to you!" Wang Bin said solemnly.
Xuan Cang nodded calmly: "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will go wrong."
The teleportation array flashed, and Wang Bin appeared in Sihai City.
He hasn't set foot in this huge city for decades.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please stand still and someone will guide you."
The voice of the Fire Phoenix Venerable echoed directly in his mind. Apparently, the other party had sensed his presence the moment he appeared.
Sure enough, after just two or three breaths, a female cultivator who had reached the Golden Core Perfection stage appeared before Wang Bin and saluted respectfully:
"I am Fu Qian, the external affairs disciple of the Wang Sect. Senior Wang, please come this way."
Fu Qian couldn't hide her curiosity as she looked at the legendary "True Lord of Mad Thunder" in front of her.
Early Nascent Soul stage? How could he be invited to attend a meeting that only the God Transformation family was qualified to attend?
It seems that the rumor that he possesses strength comparable to that of the God Transformation Realm is not false.
This filled her with a desire to explore—she was also about to reach the Nascent Soul stage, but she couldn't even beat an ordinary Nascent Soul early stage cultivator. How did this Senior Wang do it?
Fu Qian led Wang Bin on a flying spirit beast at the Jindan realm. About half an incense stick of time later, they landed in front of a huge, heavily guarded courtyard next to the Sihai City Lord's Mansion.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please come in on your own. It is inconvenient for you to go out and attract attention." The voice of Venerable Fire Phoenix sounded again.
Wang Bin followed his instructions and passed through the invisible barrier of the formation that covered the courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the formation, three powerful pressures from the Spirit Transformation Realm and a familiar aura of Chu Qingyun came towards him.
"Friend Wang, you've arrived just in time. Please take a seat." Venerable Fire Phoenix, who was sitting in the courtyard, raised his hand and gestured.
Sitting on her left was a middle-aged cultivator with a stern face. It was Li Leiyun, who was at the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Decades ago, when the Sihai Business Alliance held the Tianjiao Competition, Wang Bin had seen this host from afar in the audience.
To the right of Venerable Fire Phoenix was a female cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm whose entire body seemed to be made of flames. Her mere presence made Wang Bin feel the air around her was burning hotter.
Li Leiyun and the fiery red female cultivator also looked at Wang Bin at the same time, with undisguised scrutiny and curiosity.
With such a young age and such a strange face, he managed to turn Baiyun City into a force that could not be underestimated in just a few decades.
He even subdued a turtle demon in the Spirit Transformation Realm as his spiritual pet... This person is indeed worthy of their serious treatment.
Venerable Fire Phoenix introduced briefly: "This is the Li family representative, Fellow Daoist Li Leiyun.
This is the Zuo family representative, Fellow Daoist Zuo Huoling. This is the Chu family representative, Chu Qingyun, you should know him. Representatives from the other families will arrive shortly."
Wang Bin bowed to several Jindan cultivators and did not rush to ask about the content of the meeting. Instead, he sat down calmly in the empty seat next to Chu Qingyun.
Looking around, everyone else was at the Spirit Transformation Realm, and only he and Chu Qingyun were Nascent Soul cultivators, which showed the high standard of this meeting.
"Brother Wang," Chu Qingyun's voice sounded quietly in Wang Bin's mind.
“This meeting was initiated by the Human King Sect, and Venerable Fire Phoenix is in charge of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.
We are only speculating about the specific situation and have no idea whether it is true or not. Let's wait for the Venerable to announce it personally."
The head of the Chu family, Chu Yunfei, is in seclusion. Since there is no Divine Transformation cultivator in the family, he, a Nascent Soul cultivator, can only attend the meeting.
Wang Bin understood. He had been focused on the development of Baiyun City over the years, and knew very little about the true background of the major families in the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.
If his strength had not been recognized by the Human King Sect, he would probably not have had the opportunity to participate in such core decisions concerning the fate of the human race.
"Brother Chu," Wang Bin also transmitted his voice, "I have limited knowledge of the strength of each family, and I have always been content with staying in Baiyun City.
Could you also give me a brief introduction to the situation of several major divine families in the Sihai Merchant Alliance?
The Wang family and the Chu family are relatives by marriage, so there is no need to be so formal. "
Chu Qingyun pondered for a moment, then whispered:
"The core of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance is composed of several major Divine Transformation families: the Li and Zuo families of Four Seas City; the Chu family of West Sea City; the Wang family of South Sea City; the Situ family of North Sea City; and the Zhang family of East Sea City."
"My Chu family... has been declining for the past few hundred years, and there are no more Divine Transformation cultivators to rule.
The affairs of the alliance are mainly dominated by the Li family and the Zuo family, who are the strongest.
However, the Zhang family should not be underestimated. However, due to their unique skills, they need to be stationed in Donghai City to hunt monsters. "
"Let's first talk about the situation of the Zhang family in Donghai City. The Zhang family has two Divine Transformation cultivators and more than forty Nascent Soul cultivators.
They major in the "Blood Sea Classic", and almost every core disciple has a blood soul flag.
The head of the family, Zhang Zicheng, is in the early stage of transformation into a god. He holds a blood soul banner of pseudo spiritual treasure level. The pseudo spiritual treasure can barely compete with opponents in the early stage of transformation into a god.
Zhang Yuntun, the ancestor of the Zhang family, is at the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm and is in charge of the family's inherited spiritual treasure, the 'Ten Thousand Blood Soul Banner'.
"When this banner is activated at full power, it can summon the soul of a Spiritualization Realm evil spirit, assisted by dozens of Nascent Soul evil spirits and a large number of low-level ghosts to form an array. Its power is astonishing, and ordinary Spiritualization cultivators will find it difficult to match it."
"Next is the Wang family of Nanhai City. The Wang family has only one ancestor who has reached the second level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. His name is Wang Zhen, and he is in the Body Refining Realm, with the blood of the giant ape as his foundation.
The Wang family has about thirty Yuanying cultivators, but they don't have any spiritual treasure inheritance."
"The Situ family in Beihai City also has a Spiritual Transformation ancestor, Situ Lan, who is at the second level of Spiritual Transformation and specializes in the ice-based technique, the Taiyin Ice Classic.
The magical treasure 'Xuanbing Ring' in her hand is extremely powerful. When injected with magic power, it can instantly freeze a hundred miles and freeze everything.
Without special protective treasures, those below the Spiritual Transformation stage are essentially doomed to death. There are twenty-nine Yuanying cultivators in the Situ family.
"Finally, there's the Li family of Sihai City. The Li family has the deepest heritage.
There are two gods in charge, and the family is mainly composed of sword cultivators, with 55 Yuanying cultivators.
The ancestor Li Sihai is at the fourth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He is proficient in sword skills and specializes in the "Momentary Sword Technique". He comprehends the "Momentary Sword Skill" and is said to be able to cut through space with just one thought.
The core of this technique lies in condensing thousands of sword embryos in the dantian. When performing the "Ten Thousand Thoughts Returning to the Sword Technique", one can create a sky full of sword lightsabers to attack the enemy, or condense invisible sword shadows to obliterate the target, or even burn the sword embryos to perform the forbidden move "Sword Annihilation Reincarnation".
This technique needs to be used in conjunction with the natal flying sword 'Momentary Flowing Light'. The two swords work together, and the slash can lock onto space, covering an area of 100 miles.
Unfortunately... it is said that the natural treasures needed to refine that crucial life-saving flying sword have long been extinct in this world.
The technique also hints at the possibility of touching upon the laws of time, but no one in the Li family has possessed this talent. This technique was also passed down from the Human King Sect."
Chu Qingyun paused for a moment and continued, "The Li family also has a spiritual treasure, the 'Sky-Splitting Blade': the blade is forged like black crystal, three feet and three inches long, with blade patterns resembling space cracks, and the hilt is wrapped with black iron chains. When it is swung, it emits a sharp, piercing whistle.
He has three magical powers: the first is the 'Sword Qi of God', which infuses mana into slashing out a pitch-black sword energy that can ignore defenses below the level of God Transformation. The slashing trajectory leaves a spatial crack that injures anyone who touches it;
The second is "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Flow", which can split into thousands of sword energy afterimages, or gather into a sword wheel to strangle, or form a sword formation to block an area of ten miles;
The third is 'Breaking Through the Air', where the sword transforms into flowing light, traveling a thousand miles in an instant. While flying, the sword energy protects the body and can smash through obstructing magical weapons."
Chu Qingyun's eyes swept over the person in the courtyard: "The other incarnation of the Li family is Senior Li Leiyun in front of us, who is in the early stage of incarnation.
Although he comes from a family of sword cultivators, he has developed a unique approach, specializing in the principles of thunder and lightning. Combining the two, his attacks are even more violent and swift, and his speed is astonishingly fast.
