A few days later, when the five hundred-person delegation returned from Whitecrest City, all of Giantwild Village erupted—because every single one of those five hundred had successfully condensed an immortal body.
This number doesn’t include the village chief or Toren Tong and his fifty, so this time, a total of four hundred and forty-nine people condensed immortal bodies.
Worth mentioning: Mara Zhou also managed to condense an immortal body.
Of course, she paid double the immortal stone price for it.
More than five hundred thousand immortal stones’ worth of beasts sold for nearly twenty million immortal stones. This time, Ian Song didn’t hold back—he took sixty percent. No one objected, because even the remaining forty percent came to eight million immortal stones, an amount they’d never dreamed of before.
So Ian Song’s Prestige skyrocketed, hitting over twenty-seven thousand in a single night—far exceeding the System’s requirement.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, mission complete—reward: one Langya Immortal World map!"
As soon as the System notification sounded, Ian felt a holographic map appear in his mind.
"Show all towns and villages around Whitecrest City!"
The map instantly shifted, projecting Whitecrest City’s surroundings right in front of him.
Even the village’s grand formation was upgraded—once fully activated, it could now withstand attacks from Earth Immortal-level experts.
Meanwhile, Ian’s women also made remarkable progress.
After months of focused cultivation, everyone’s realm advanced rapidly—especially Diana Toba and Lila Li, who both reached late Tribulation stage, now just one step away from becoming Human Immortals.
Even Shelly Song, previously the weakest, managed to condense a Nascent Soul after several months of cultivation.
As for the other women, even the weakest reached the Fusion stage.
Chloe Snow even successfully overcame her final tribulation and became a Human Immortal.
Ian didn’t let Chloe use a standard Immortalization Pool. Instead, he gave her the God-grade Proud Snow Frost Art. Once she mastered its first layer, she could condense a divine body—far superior to an ordinary immortal body.
Bella Bai, with her human-dragon physique, switched to the God-grade method Ian taught her and reached mid Tribulation stage, with combat power matching a mid-stage Human Immortal.
Rosie Ning, Yanna Zhou, and the others also advanced to the Tribulation stage after switching to proper Immortal-Dao techniques.
Ian planned to leave Giantwild Village once all his women became Human Immortals.
Silver Wolf Stronghold, the largest bandit base in Whitecrest City’s territory, is said to have over 30,000 bandits. Its first chief, Aoki Wolf, is a terrifying peak mid-stage Earth Immortal.
Second chief Felix Duanmu and third chief Tyrone Beiming are both early Earth Immortals.
Fourth chief Poison Dragon, though only a late Human Immortal in cultivation, has strength comparable to an early Earth Immortal.
Silver Wolf Stronghold also has 5,000 elite late-stage Human Immortals, all with immortal bodies, plus more than 20,000 underlings at mid-stage Human Immortal.
"Chief, I’ve got news: Giantwild Village has somehow produced over 3,000 villagers with immortal bodies in just a few months!"
That day, Silver Wolf’s spy chief excitedly reported the news to Aoki Wolf.
Condensing immortal bodies for 3,000 people should cost six million immortal stones—how did an ordinary village like Giantwild get so rich?
Aoki Wolf’s eyes flashed with killing intent. He asked grimly, "Did you find out where Giantwild Village got so many immortal stones?"
"Chief, I was curious how Giantwild could afford so many immortal stones for immortal bodies, so I sent out lots of spies. Eventually, I learned that in just a few months, Giantwild sold over 3.3 million immortal beasts and earned more than 100 million stones!"
At this, the spy chief’s eyes grew greedy beyond measure.
"A hundred million!"
Aoki Wolf was stunned; that number was simply irresistible.
He immediately clapped and shouted, "Summon the second, third, and fourth chiefs for a council!"
Soon, the three chiefs arrived.
"Big Brother, did you call us because it’s time to act?"
Felix Duanmu asked gruffly.
Aoki Wolf glanced at the spy chief, signaling him to repeat the story.
After hearing the report, all three chiefs’ eyes lit up.
Felix Duanmu couldn’t help but say, "What are we waiting for? Let’s attack Giantwild Village and take all their stones!"
Aoki Wolf waved a hand. "No rush—let’s first decide how many troops to send."
"It’s just an ordinary village!"
Tyrone Beiming sneered, "Give me a thousand elites and I’ll wipe out Giantwild Village myself!"
"They have three thousand with immortal bodies!"
The fourth chief cautioned.
"Three thousand with immortal bodies is nothing—don’t forget, our elites are all armed with immortal weapons!" Tyrone Beiming sneered.
Aoki Wolf pondered for a moment. "Let’s send 5,000 elites, plus the four chiefs. That should be enough."
Aoki Wolf spoke again: "Even a lion goes all out to catch a rabbit. This time, Fourth will stay behind to guard the stronghold, while Second and Third come with me to attack Giantwild Village!"
The chiefs quickly reached an agreement.
As night fell, after a day of excitement, the whole village returned to peace.
Suddenly.
Ian Song was cultivating when he suddenly frowned, sensing a large group approaching Giantwild Village. His figure blurred as he sped out of the village, flying in the direction of the disturbance.
After running just a few miles, he saw a force of over five thousand people rushing toward Giantwild Village, led by three experts—all at the Earth Immortal realm.
Ian frowned again and hurried back to the village to find Chief Ethan Changsun.
To save immortal stones, the village’s defensive formation had only been half-activated. Realizing a large force was approaching, Ethan immediately fully activated the array and sounded the alarm bell to wake all the villagers.
Soon, the villagers rushed to the training ground.
"Chief, did something happen?"
"Chief, what’s going on?"
Seeing Ethan Changsun, the villagers began asking questions one after another.
"Everyone, quiet!"
Ethan Changsun’s voice boomed like thunder: "More than five thousand unknown cultivators are approaching our village. I’ve gathered everyone so you can be ready!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and many showed signs of panic.
