Chapter 1416 - 487: The Bewildered Lu Quanzhen, 100 Spiritual Root Offspring!
Chapter 1416: Chapter 487: The Bewildered Lu Quanzhen, 100 Spiritual Root Offspring!
Lu Quanzhen truthfully recounted his encounter.
He met the Ghost Demon True Master, got trapped in the Netherworld Blood Evil Gourd, and then chose to cultivate the "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique."
"I knew there was a problem with this cultivation technique, but I didn’t expect it to be like this, cough, cough, cough..."
Lu Quanzhen’s face was pale and extremely weak, coughing violently several times.
At first, relying on the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique’s secret technique, he survived by a stroke of luck in the Black Mist Swamp, thinking he had some control over this demonic technique.
But he didn’t expect the cultivation technique to be so overpowering, completely out of his control.
Of course, if he were given another chance, he would still make the same choice.
Because at that time, he had no other choice but this one method.
If it weren’t for the encounter with the Shocking Heaven Old Demon, he might have really escaped from the Ghost Demon True Master’s hands.
But speaking of it, if it weren’t for the Shocking Heaven Old Demon, he might not have had the chance to escape at all.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng sighed softly, not knowing what to say.
After a pause, he asked: "Does your cultivation technique have a solution to this problem?"
"It’s rather difficult..."
Lu Quanzhen shook his head with a bitter smile.
If it was just relying on the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique to break through to the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment, or even the Seventh Layer, he still had confidence to resolve it.
He could slowly reconcile by using Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Cultivation Technique Secret Elixirs, and the Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Technique, refining the violent chaotic energy, and baptizing his Dao Foundation and mana.
But leaping to the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment in one go, absorbing too much Netherworld Blood Evil, caused the cultivation technique to go out of control, with physical body, cultivation technique, and mana repelling each other.
Moreover, he was now in an extremely poor state, with his physical body and foundation damaged, polluted by the Blood Evil, making it difficult to cultivate.
"Explain this cultivation technique to me in detail."
Lu Changsheng pondered slightly.
He had heard Lu Quanzhen mention this cultivation technique in the past, but wasn’t clear on the specifics.
Now, looking at the other person’s situation, he wanted to see if the problem could be fundamentally resolved.
"Yes, father..."
Lu Quanzhen didn’t hide anything and explained the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique in detail.
"Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique..."
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, thinking to himself that this cultivation technique was indeed a thorough demonic technique.
By devouring all things in the world and living beings’ origin sources to elevate oneself, it presented no solutions, only mitigation and reconciliation methods.
The whole cultivation process could be described as nine deaths and one life, depending on whether one’s fate was strong enough.
However, without cultivating the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique, just cultivating the Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Technique, it was also a top-level cultivation technique.
"Father, how come you are in the Jin Kingdom?"
Seeing his father silent, Lu Quanzhen felt somewhat ashamed and softly asked.
He recalled that when he fell into the hands of the Shocking Heaven Old Demon, a female cultivator in Core Formation came, seemingly the Heavenly Spider True Master from the Five Poisons Cult.
But he really didn’t know when his father appeared.
Besides, Jiang Country and Jin Kingdom were far apart. How did his father come to Jin Kingdom?
"I happened to have some matters in Jin Kingdom, and upon hearing news of your situation, I sent people to investigate your whereabouts."
Lu Changsheng looked at him and said.
"You should rest well first, we can talk about things later."
Seeing his son was still very weak, Lu Changsheng did not talk much further.
He handed a bottle of elixirs to him, advising to take two daily, then left the room, pondering how to solve Lu Quanzhen’s problem.
Letting his son live was naturally not difficult.
As long as he helped him sort out mana periodically and nurtured the physical body, there would be no major issue.
But if his son’s condition couldn’t be resolved, it would be tantamount to being semi-crippled, unable to cultivate further.
Besides the Blood Evil foundation issue, he also faced a big issue—lifespan!
[Name: Lu Quanzhen]
[Lifespan: 60/69]
[Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root]
[Cultivation Level: Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer]
[Talent: Combat Law Compatibility (69%)]
Lu Quanzhen only had a lifespan of less than a hundred when he broke through to the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment.
After being heavily injured, having used the life-burning method, his lifespan was further reduced to only nine years.
Moreover, he had consumed Lifespan Extension Pills in his early years.
Now, if he wanted to continue extending his lifespan, he would have to consume Third Rank Lifespan Extension Pills or some rare spiritual medicine for extension.
But without solving his situation, even obtaining Third Rank Lifespan Extension Pills would merely treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
"To untie the bell, the person who tied it must do it—looks like I have to visit the Yiming Ghost Sect."
After pondering for a long time, Lu Changsheng decided to visit the Yiming Ghost Sect later.
To see if the Yiming Ghost Sect had a way to fundamentally resolve the Netherworld Blood Evil.
Theoretically, as long as the Netherworld Blood Evil could be perfectly controlled, he could help Lu Quanzhen reconcile the cultivation technique, then find a way to repair the foundational Dao injuries.
Regarding lifespan, as long as Lu Quanzhen’s foundational Dao injuries could be resolved, he would have the hope of impacting Core Formation.
As long as he broke through to Core Formation, lifespan effects, though existent, wouldn’t be very significant.
...
Six days later, Lu Quanzhen’s injuries had slightly alleviated, allowing him to move normally, though he still appeared very weak.
"Let’s go, I will take you to seek an explanation."
Lu Changsheng immediately took Lu Quanzhen to find Meng Xiaochan, indicating he was going out for a while.
"Hmm!?"
Lu Quanzhen’s pupils contracted sharply upon seeing Meng Xiaochan in front, with a look of shock and doubt towards his father.
"This is Meng Xiaochan, an old friend of your father’s... I already know about your previous matters."
"She didn’t know your identity at the time, so there were some misunderstandings."
"But your father being able to know about your situation is thanks to Xiaochan."
Lu Changsheng glanced at his son and said.
"..."
Lu Quanzhen was in utter surprise.
Though called an old friend, the person was gazing tenderly at his father, how could he not know what relationship the two had.
For this, he simply didn’t know what to say.
He could only say that his father’s social connections were indeed quite extensive...
He even had... friends in Jin Kingdom.
At this moment, he recalled the previously appearing Heavenly Spider True Master, who seemed to be the master of this Meng Xiaochan.
