Chapter 1548 - 527: Renowned Throughout Jiang Country! (Part 3)
Chapter 1548: Chapter 527: Renowned Throughout Jiang Country! (Part 3)
The young man called Little Jiang respectfully said.
"What? You said that Lu Ping’an defeated Shangguan Jiuyang?"
Bai Yun Immortal looked surprised.
Although he wasn’t very familiar with Shangguan Jiuyang’s exact strength, he had some knowledge.
Among the False Core Cultivators, he definitely belonged to the upper-middle tier!
But this Lu Ping’an seemed to have only gained fame in recent years, how could someone of his age defeat Shangguan Jiuyang?
"Hmm?"
In the distance, the Nascent Soul Immortals from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Spirit Taming Sect heard Little Jiang’s words, opened their eyes, and were a bit surprised.
Although Shangguan Jiuyang’s strength wasn’t impressive in their eyes.
At least he was a well-known False Core Cultivator, famous for many years.
Yet none of them had heard of the name Lu Ping’an.
It was only when the Secret Realm opened that they paid some attention, with a bit of influence.
But now, such an unknown junior actually defeated Shangguan Jiuyang, truly catching them off guard.
Especially the Nascent Soul Immortal from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Yes, Elder, this person not only has three Second Rank Flood Dragons but also six more Second Rank Flood Dragons, and seventy-two First Grade top-level Daoist Soldiers."
"It’s precisely by borrowing the power of the Dao Soldiers that he managed to defeat Shangguan Jiuyang."
Little Jiang spoke thus, recounting the recent battle.
"Dao Soldiers!"
Bai Yun Immortal squinted his eyes slightly.
Naturally, he saw that Lu Ping’an’s Blackwater Flood Dragon was nurtured through some Dao Soldier Secret Technique.
But with just two or three heads, most wouldn’t call them Dao Soldiers.
Yet unexpectedly, the other party actually possessed eighty-one heads.
Although not many, for a Clan Cultivator, it was already quite astounding.
"Didn’t expect that this old man was really blind."
Bai Yun Immortal self-mockingly smiled.
Earlier, considering the relationship between Bi Lake Mountain and Caiyun Peak, and the matter of pioneering warfare, he thought of lending a hand.
But now, upon hearing Lu Ping’an’s situation, his heart had additional considerations.
The Beast Taming Xu Family has had deep family foundations for years, listening for commands but not following orders, causing some influence on the Qingyun Sect.
Although the Qingyun Sect could annihilate the Xu Family, it wasn’t possible to do so.
Not to mention the certain price to be paid.
This behavior, if lacking a rightful reason, could cause other families to feel vulnerable like rabbits after a fox’s death, subsequently migrating away from Qingyun Domain, unwilling to toil for them.
Now with Bi Lake Mountain’s rise, producing someone like Lu Ping’an, if the other party showed favor to the Qingyun Sect, they naturally wouldn’t mind supporting him to some extent, using him to counterbalance the Xu Family.
After all, they were somewhat dissatisfied with the Beast Taming Xu Family.
But if the other party was weakened a bit and willing to be obedient, they would be very pleased.
The Nascent Soul Immortals from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Spirit Taming Sect, and Luoxia Sect didn’t say anything upon hearing about the Dao Soldiers and the rough situation.
They only noted down the name Bi Lake Mountain and Lu Ping’an in their hearts.
...
Twenty days later.
Bi Lake Mountain.
Several Lu Family disciples and cultivators were patrolling and stationed at the mountain gate.
Though no one was expected to invade, this vigilance was still necessary.
Just then, they suddenly saw far in the sky, streaks of flowing light speeding towards them at a rapid pace.
"Roar, roar, roar—"
Only to see faint glowing flashes as nine terrifying black figures cloud-borne approached.
"Hmm? It’s big brother!"
"Big uncle has returned!"
"Eh, wasn’t there only three Blackwater Flood Dragons at home? How come there are nine now!"
The black figures span two or three zhang long, crowned with horns, fins on their bellies, resembling black Flood Dragons, majestic and fierce.
Lu Family disciples immediately recognized their family’s Blackwater Flood Dragons.
A moment later, the Blackwater Flood Dragons landed outside Bi Lake Mountain.
"Big brother, big uncle, greetings to the eldest young master!"
These cultivators respectfully saluted.
"Hmm."
Lu Ping’an nodded, not saying much, and after entering the family, immediately found his aunt to report the situation of the Purple Shadow Secret Realm.
Such matters, being significant, Lu Miaoyun couldn’t decide on her own, so she sent word to Lu Changsheng.𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
...
Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, Changsheng Hall.
Lu Changsheng was explaining the principles of Yin Yang to Lu Miaoge.
Bing’er was also listening to Lu Changsheng’s Yin Yang Great Dao.
Though she didn’t understand.
Whenever she heard profound parts, she would let out soft cries in harmony.
I don’t know how long it passed, but the yin and yang converged, and the discourse ended.
At this time, Lu Changsheng looked at the Sensing Talisman in the Storage Ring, donned his robe, and took Bing’er to the Lu Family Mansion.
"Shendao Shangguan Family..."
After listening to Lu Ping’an’s recounting of the situation, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Unexpectedly, this journey to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm caused so many things to happen.
Before, he had realized that the Jin Family and the Sima Family might take action against his family.
But he didn’t expect to encounter the Shangguan Family.
"No matter, next time you face such issues, you can directly send a message to me to avoid any dangers along the way."
Lu Changsheng said calmly.
Although Lu Ping’an’s battle with Shangguan Jiuyang barely resolved the matter.
But it also pushed him to the forefront.
In the past, the three ancestors of the Xu Family secretly ambushed a ’Foundation Establishment Cultivator’.
Who knows if the Nascent Soul Immortals of the Xu Family or the Shangguan Family would shamelessly do such a thing too.
After chatting with Lu Ping’an, Lu Changsheng visited Lu Qingyan, Lu Chensha, Lu Yunfei, and others.
Under the treatment of Elixir Medicines and with Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen’s care, Lu Yunfei and Lu Qingze’s condition was very stable.
In a few days, they might wake up.
But their injuries have been prolonged, already affecting their foundation.
However, for Lu Changsheng, this level of foundation damage is not a significant problem.
With the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone and Miaoge using Taiyi True Water to nourish it, it can be repaired.
"You all performed well on this trip."
Lu Changsheng said to Lu Qingyan, Lu Chensha, Lu Mingfeng, and the others.
Although it brought quite a bit of trouble to the family, their performance did not disappoint him.
Especially Lu Chensha.
Unexpectedly, he made a contract with a Second Rank Monster Beast, the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider, in the Secret Realm, which truly surprised him.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng asked his son to summon the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider to check its physical condition.
"Is the foundation so abundant with three contracted Spiritual Beasts? This Beast Technique is indeed interesting..."
Lu Changsheng noticed that Lu Chensha’s physical body, mana, and foundation were far superior to those of the same realm.
He wouldn’t be inferior to Lu Lingxiao or Lu Wangshu.
"If he, at Foundation Establishment Peak, can contract a True Spirit Pet Beast, wouldn’t he be able to directly impact the Immortal Golden Core, even the Great Dao Golden Core?"
Lu Changsheng suddenly thought.
The other’s Beast Technique is far from reaching its limit and can still be improved.
And the gap between True Spirit Level Demon Beast and Heavenly Rank Demon Beast is like heaven and earth.
If he contracts a True Spirit Level Demon Beast, his Beast Technique could be elevated to the Profound Mystery Rank, and his talent, foundation, and potential might all gain significant enhancement.
However, Lu Changsheng just thought about it.
Currently, he has True Spirit Level Bloodline Demon Beasts like Mount Sumeru and Golden Peng, not possible to give to others.
Moreover, contracting and taming a True Spirit Level Pet Beast is not that simple.
"You all should focus on cultivation at home next and prepare for Foundation Establishment."
Lu Changsheng said to the four.
He had already prepared the Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
Next, the family will start a wave of Foundation Establishment efforts.
The matters arising from the Purple Shadow Secret Realm are such that the family can no longer remain low-key.
The plan to establish branch families can also be quickly put on the agenda.
Previously, he intended to assign the branch family establishment to his son, Lu Lingxiao.
Now seeing Lu Chensha’s situation, he thinks it’s more fitting for him to head to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
...
With the end of the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, the events of Lu Ping’an and Shangguan Jiuyang also spread gradually.
This incident caused quite a sensation.
Directly made the name of Bi Lake Mountain and Lu Ping’an famous throughout Jiang Country.
Some even viewed Lu Ping’an as the second Azure Phoenix Immortal!
However, as a young clan cultivator, Lu Ping’an has achieved such accomplishments, and many see him as akin to the early ancestor of the Five Elements Royal Family, a true prodigy of extraordinary talent.
They believe Lu Ping’an, like the early ancestor of the Five Elements Royal Family, possesses a Top Level Spiritual Body!
"The early ancestor of the Five Elements Royal Family was renowned for his Five Elements Physique, and this Lu Ping’an’s body is like a dragon, directly confronting the power of Magical Treasures, possibly having some kind of Body Refinement Spiritual Body!"
"Indeed, I heard his whole body shone gold, his Qi-Blood like a beacon, rising to the sky, sweeping the heavens and earth, resembling the legendary Wild War Physique!"
"I think it might be a Vajra Body; remember, the Vajra Body was also strong, comparable to Magical Treasures!"
Many cultivators and forces discussed this matter, making the name of Bi Lake Mountain’s Lu Family known beyond the Qingyun Domain to the major forces throughout Jiang Country.
These days, Bi Lake Mountain is bustling with activity.
On one hand, Lu Family disciples celebrate the event, each feeling honored.
On the other hand, many family forces visit Bi Lake Mountain.
Now that Lu Ping’an has shown such amazing strength, these surrounding forces are compelled to visit, congratulating him.
If not, when Bi Lake Mountain or this Lu Family Ancestor rises further, and they realize you didn’t offer gifts of congratulations, what if they hold a grudge?
Besides these neighboring family forces, cultivators from further-away forces also come to visit, being guests, looking to form alliances or marriages with the Lu Family.
