Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 31: Gathering Resources for You, Paying a Visit to the Wang Family, I Disagree

“Tsk, these resources…” After Gu Qingge mentioned the required materials to activate her abilities, even someone as powerful as Su Changsheng couldn’t help but express amazement.

The necessary resources weren’t just vast in quantity, but most were incredibly rare divine objects. For instance, the Heavenly Tribulation Lotus, an eighth-grade holy herb that could even make Saints envious and spark disputes over a single plant. There were also Heavenly Tribulation Fruits, Divine Thunder Liquid, and essence blood from Saint-level ferocious beasts, among other things.

Gathering these materials would be a formidable challenge, even for an average person or Saint. Even Gu Qingge, a reincarnated Empress, would struggle to collect them due to her limited cultivation. Despite her awareness of various opportunities, it would still demand immense effort.

Alternatively, Gu Qingge could undergo rebirth to directly activate the Indestructible Body of Myriad Calamities. However, despite its potential resource savings, Su Changsheng would never allow this method.

“Don’t worry, I’ll gather them for you within three days,” Su Changsheng assured Gu Qingge softly.

Having wiped out the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he had gained a significant amount of resources. Although he lacked key items like the Heavenly Tribulation Lotus and Heavenly Tribulation Fruits, he could trade with other forces.

As far as he knew, the Wang family possessed a Heavenly Tribulation Fruit tree, yielding thirty-six Heavenly Tribulation Fruits every three thousand years. Asking for a hundred and eighty fruits wouldn’t be unreasonable, right?

The true challenge lay with the Heavenly Tribulation Lotus. Only two forces were known to possess this sacred herb throughout the True Saint Continent, the Lingxu Sword Sect and the Tai Shi Sect. The latter was not an option due to their superior strength. Thus, the Lingxu Sword Sect was the only viable choice.

Though formidable, they were within his reach. If they were open to trading, it could work. If not, he would resort to force. With this in mind, Su Changsheng’s eyes gleamed with determination.

“If you encounter any difficulties, I can find solutions myself,” Gu Qingge noted the determination in Su Changsheng’s gaze and felt the need to remind him.

“Rest assured,” Su Changsheng replied, prioritizing gathering the other divine objects first and then pursuing the Heavenly Tribulation Lotus from the Lingxu Sword Sect.

Over the next three days, Su Changsheng utilized the Su family’s resources and worked tirelessly to procure the materials Gu Qingge required. He even demanded higher quality and larger quantities, regardless of the cost.

“Boom!”

Additionally, Su Changsheng personally visited the Wang family, his imposing aura causing a stir among the Wang family’s ancestors.

“Who’s there?”

“A descending Saint!”

“It’s Su Changsheng!”

The Wang family was in turmoil as they witnessed Su Changsheng’s divine-like presence. The arrival of a Saint was a momentous occasion, and their reactions varied from fear to confidence in their family’s strength.

“So, that’s Su Changsheng?” Within the Wang family’s domain, a stunning woman directed her attention towards Su Changsheng, admiring his elegance and power.

“Boom!”

Two awe-inspiring figures emerged within the Wang family, radiating saintly might comparable to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s Saint. These were the Wang family’s ancestors.

“Friend Changsheng, please come in.”

“We regret not welcoming you upon your arrival, Friend Changsheng.”

Their voices echoed, inviting Su Changsheng in.

“Boom!”

A splendid golden path materialized, accompanied by divine phenomena. Celestial flowers blossomed, and radiant light showered down.

“I arrived suddenly and disturbed the Wang family. Please forgive me, my friends,” Su Changsheng said with a gentle smile. Given the respectful demeanor of the Wang family saints, he refrained from being arrogant.

“Boom!”

Shortly after that, Su Changsheng confidently stepped onto the golden path, his demeanor composed. He walked into the ancestral grounds of the Wang family, showing no fear of potential ambushes or dangers. If any threats emerged, he could easily handle them.

Soon, silence enveloped the ancestral grounds of the Wang family. Chaotic mist concealed everything, rendering outsiders clueless about the events transpiring within.

A group of Wang family members, including the patriarch, elders, and numerous grand elders, emerged from seclusion, anxiously awaiting the outcome and fearing a potential conflict.

“Hahaha…”

After a mere fifteen minutes, accompanied by laughter, Su Changsheng emerged from the Wang family’s depths alongside the two Wang family saints. They conversed and laughed as they escorted him out, reassuring the Wang family experts.

“I didn’t anticipate Su Changsheng being here for the Heavenly Tribulation Fruits!”

As they watched Su Changsheng depart, one of the Wang family saints suddenly remarked. This middle-aged man held a cultivation level similar to the Purple Mountain Saint.

“But I’m perplexed, Ancestor. Why did you entrust the entire Heavenly Tribulation Tree to Su Changsheng? It’s a cornerstone of our Wang family!” The middle-aged man inquired with uncertainty.

The Heavenly Tribulation Tree, an eighth-grade sacred tree, bore the coveted Heavenly Tribulation Fruits. These potent fruits enabled cultivators to navigate their celestial tribulations while harnessing the tribulation’s power to bolster their foundation and strength within the same realm.

While effective only for cultivators below the Eternal Ancient Realm, the tree contributed to producing numerous top-tier Law Phase Realm cultivators, significantly aiding the emergence of Eternal Ancient Realm cultivators.

Bestowing it directly upon Su Changsheng raised concerns, as it could diminish the Wang family’s influence and hinder their capacity to cultivate Law Phase Realm practitioners. This posed a puzzle.

“I don’t have much time remaining.”

Upon hearing this, another Wang family saint, an elderly man, remained composed and shook his head.

This venerable figure appeared aged and held significant seniority. Named Wang Xudao, he headed the lineage of the middle-aged saint. Though equals in rank, the middle-aged man greatly respected his ancestor for nurturing him to sainthood.

“Ancestor…”

The middle-aged man’s heart trembled upon hearing these words, instantly grasping the old man’s intent.

“Should I pass away, you alone might struggle against those two forces. The Wang family could suffer grave losses. Hence, the Wang family necessitates robust external support.”

“Su Changsheng serves as that reinforcement. Sacrificing a Heavenly Tribulation Tree is a trifling matter. If it secures his goodwill and prompts his assistance to the Wang family in the future, it’s a worthwhile trade.” Wang Xudao expressed with a soft tone.

“Ancestor, I’ll search for longevity materials on your behalf. No need to fret so.”

The middle-aged man trembled as he pledged. His eyes were reddened. Even as a saint, he couldn’t hold back his tears.

“Foolish child, no need for that. I recognize my own circumstances well. Ordinary longevity pills are ineffectual, and even rarer ones would elude your grasp.” Wang Xudao chuckled lightly, shaking his head. He bore a carefree disposition, unruffled by his impending passing.

“Furthermore, I won’t merely resign to fate. When the great saint’s hidden realm manifests in the Burial Demon Valley, I shall confront it.” Wang Xudao asserted calmly, and the middle-aged man fell silent, understanding his ancestor had meticulously prepared for the inevitable.

“I understand.”

Unaware of the dialogue between the two saint ancestors, the Wang family members, including numerous experts, gazed upon them with reverence. Only a cluster of grand elders furrowed their brows, consumed by concern.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, the Lingxu Sword Sect’s mountain peaks reached into the clouds, a grand expanse exuding majesty. Each peak possessed a sharpness reminiscent of swords unsheathed, exuding a sword aura that was both sharp and fierce.

Amidst these peaks lay palaces resembling heavenly abodes, radiating spiritual energy. Waterfalls cascaded like the Milky Way. Amidst mountains and palaces, sword cultivators tread on spiritual swords, resembling legendary Sword Saint realms. This served as the Lingxu Sword Sect’s headquarters, the most formidable sword sect in the True Saint Continent.

“Humph, he seeks the Tribulation Crossing Lotus? It’s an eighth-grade sacred herb. The Lingxu Sword Sect possesses only one, and Su Changsheng thinks he can barter for it so easily?”

“Wishful thinking!”

Ling Jian snorted within the sect’s main hall, disdain evident as he surveyed the powerful Su family members present.
