Chapter 1629: Chapter 551: Marrying Hong Lian, Vajra Ming King Technique! (Part 3)
With the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, Lu Changsheng did not directly teleport back to Bi Lake Mountain.
After all, spending over a hundred thousand spirit stones was somewhat of a heartache.
...
High above the Nine Heavens Gang Wind.
Lu Changsheng rode on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng when suddenly a system notification sounded.
[Congratulations to the host’s first offspring for becoming a Second Rank Array Master, earning one chance to draw a prize!]
Lu Changsheng guessed that it was because his son, Lu Lingxiao, had reached the second rank in formations.
For the past few years, under Ling Zixiao’s guidance, he had been learning formations and studying the Dragon Seeking Art.
Both skills had reached the top level of the first grade, only lacking practical experience.
This trip for a few people to become Island Masters was also to give Lu Lingxiao a chance for practice.
"System, draw the prize,"
Lu Changsheng silently thought.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Vajra Ming King Technique"]
[The reward has been issued to the System Space, the host can check it at any time]
"Hmm, is this a Buddhist Taoist technique?"
Lu Changsheng glanced at this cultivation technique and raised an eyebrow.
There were no Buddhist cultivators in Jiang Country, he had only seen it in ancient books.
"With this Vajra Ming King Technique, if I can gather the Demonic Dao Origin, Heavenly Demon Blood, and Buddhist Relic, won’t I be able to practice the Brahman Demon True Saint Technique?"
Lu Changsheng thought about the True Immortal Level Technique that was gathering dust in his possession.
The power of this Brahman Demon True Saint Technique was undeniable, but the conditions for cultivation were extremely stringent.
It required dual cultivation of Buddha and Demon, and the baptism of three origins to cultivate the physical body for the entry-level.
With the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, he could utilize the characteristic of dominating all laws, directly transforming his mana into Twelve Capital Demon Divine Technique and Vajra Ming King Technique, eliminating the so-called dual cultivation of Buddha and Demon.
But of the three origins, he currently only had the Heavenly Demon Blood.
"The Demonic Dao Origin is not difficult, but this Buddhist Relic, there are no Buddhist cultivators in the entire Jiang Country, or even Jin Kingdom or Yue Country, making it impossible to obtain."
The Demonic Dao Origin is the Golden Core of a Demonic Path Cultivator, which wasn’t difficult for Lu Changsheng.
At worst, he could ask Nangong Mili in Jin Kingdom about where there might be a Golden Core Demon Cultivator and go wait for one himself.
But the Buddhist Relic, equivalent to a Buddhist Cultivator’s Golden Core, had no way to be acquired.
"Never mind, I’ll see later."
Although the Brahman Demon True Saint Technique was quite excellent, capable of replacing the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art and greatly enhancing strength, Lu Changsheng wasn’t in a hurry and decided to let things take their course.
...
Ten days later.
Lu Changsheng returned to Bi Lake Mountain.
His departure with Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and others did not cause much of an impact; in fact, no one even knew.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng had given the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox to Lu Miaoyun.
She would sometimes have the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox disguise itself as Lu Changsheng, or Lu Miaoge, or Ling Zixiao, appearing before others to create the illusion that they were still at home.
After seriously cultivating in Dream Immortal City for so long, returning home naturally called for some relaxation and to accompany his wives and concubines.
As for Meng Xiaochan, after ten months of pregnancy, there was no sign of giving birth.
This was normal; a Nascent Soul cultivator, with a lifespan of five hundred years, was beyond the mortal stage, having a different essence of life.
It could even be said that Foundation Establishment cultivators and mortals, Energy Refining cultivators, weren’t the same species at all.
...
In the blink of an eye, three more months passed.
Lu Changsheng spent time with all his wives, concubines, and children, and even made trips to the Qingyun Sect and Misty Rain Market.
Yet, there was still no sign of Meng Xiaochan giving birth.
Lu Changsheng contemplated, considering taking Meng Xiaochan to Dream Immortal City.
Now that the Immortal City was stable, going there to nurture the fetus wouldn’t be an issue.
Moreover, staying at Bi Lake Mountain all the time gave him a sense of unease.
Hence, Lu Changsheng took Meng Xiaochan, Qu Zhenzhen, and Bing’er, who had been sleeping in an ice coffin, to Dream Immortal City.
However, two months later, Lu Miaoyun crushed a Sensing Talisman.
He used the Michen Banner to return home, learning that his wife Lu Lanshu had passed away.
Over the years, many concubines of the Lu Family in Ruyi Prefecture had passed away.
Lu Lanshu, being his first wife, had taken many heavenly and earthly treasures in her early years and constantly consumed spirit rice and spirit fruit, leading to her longevity.
In a world where living to seventy or eighty was considered long-lived, she was now ninety-three, fairly long-lived.
"Alas,"
Lu Changsheng still remembered vividly in his mind the scene when he reached Qingzhu Mountain, where Uncle Fu hosted a welcoming banquet for them, and he eventually married Lu Lanshu, Lu Zi’er, and Lu Qing’er, the three sisters.
In the blink of an eye, seventy-three years had passed.
Being a Nascent Soul cultivator, his lifespan was seven hundred, considered in his prime.
But his wives and concubines from early years gradually aged and died.
Even many children sent to Ruyi Prefecture in the past had unexpectedly died.
Not only in Ruyi Prefecture, but in a few more decades, those children in Bi Lake Mountain who hadn’t reached Foundation Establishment would also be approaching the end of life.
The Great Dao is merciless, and this is one of the cruelties of cultivators as beings pursuing longevity!
Lu Changsheng did not dwell on sadness and prepared to call his son Lu Ping’an to head to Ruyi Prefecture.
For many years, he’d avoided going to Ruyi Prefecture, not just because of the intangible barrier between cultivators and mortals, but also because his wives didn’t want him to see their elderly appearances.
In early years, with the Preserving Youth Pill and the Beauty Preserving Pill, they could maintain youthful looks.
But with aging, as lifespan dwindled, youth was hard to retain.
...
Ruyi Prefecture, Lu Residence.
Lu Lanshu, as Lu Changsheng’s wife and Lu Ping’an’s mother, and the current matriarch of the Lu Residence, held a very high status.
Having now passed away peacefully, the whole family was immersed in grief, with white silk draped everywhere.
"Father, grandfather, great-grandfather..."
When Lu Changsheng appeared in the Lu Residence ancestral hall, the Lu Family disciples promptly addressed him.
Lu Ping’an was already there.
Realizing his mother’s limited lifespan, he accompanied her through her last journey.
"Hmm."
Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Ping’an and other aging children, seeing their respectful gaze towards him, and sighed in his heart.
