Azure Lotus City, a secluded manor.
Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Qi Shuting, He Wang, Bai Yuanyuan, and Ning Hao sat around an azure tea table, drinking tea and chatting.
Qi Shuting had already reached the Late Golden Immortal Stage, but she could not deal with a Six-Colored Chaos Beast alone. The Qi Family followed the Wang Family's lead and now had ten Golden Immortal cultivators.
The Ghost Spirit Sect had recovered some of its strength, and the number of its Golden Immortal cultivators had increased. It, too, followed the Wang Family's lead. Bai Yuanyuan was currently at the Golden Immortal Middle Stage. Both the Snow Crystal Race and the Nine Immortals Sect had become subsidiary forces of the Wang Family.

Ning Hao had fully recovered. Knowing that he was no match for the Azure Lotus Couple, he had bowed his head and pledged allegiance to the Wang Family.
"Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, didn't you say Daoist Yang would be coming as well?"
Ning Hao asked courteously.

"This old man was delayed by something and arrived late. I sincerely apologize."
A man's apologetic voice rang out.
As soon as the voice faded, a tall gold-robed elder walked in. He had a fair, beardless face, and his eyes shone brightly.
The Lord of Hundred Refinements Island, Hundred Refinements Divine Lord, was at the Late Golden Immortal Stage.
"It's been many years, Daoist Yang. Haven't you resolved your bottleneck yet? I thought you had already reached Golden Immortal Great Perfection."
Ning Hao said.
