Chapter 1912 - 635: Hong Lian’s Shock, Journey to the Jin Kingdom!
Chapter 1912: Chapter 635: Hong Lian’s Shock, Journey to the Jin Kingdom!
However, demonic path cultivators like corpse cultivators inevitably involve some desire for killing, causing damage to the mind; even though Lu Changsheng’s soul is equal to theirs, he can still attempt to compete using soul secret techniques...
It must be said, having an elder at home is like having a treasure.
With Hong Lian, a former Nascent Soul True Lord, to guide him, Lu Changsheng gained a more detailed understanding of Nascent Soul techniques, adding some confidence to his journey to the Jin Kingdom.
It’s just lamenting that time waits for no one.
If only he had a Time House or a Time Secret Realm to quickly complete the cultivation of techniques like the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique, Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture, and Brahman Demon True Saint Technique, then he could directly overwhelm Nascent Soul cultivators.
"The most troublesome aspect of a Nascent Soul True Lord is the Nascent Soul’s out-of-body state!"
"The escape speed of a Nascent Soul Spirit Body is several times that of the same rank, ignoring all mana prohibitions; once it breaks into the void, cultivators of the same rank basically have no way to kill it..."
After Hong Lian finished explaining the points to note, she also mentioned methods to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.
She stated that even if a Nascent Soul True Lord’s physical body is shattered, they can still escape with their Nascent Soul Spirit Body and then possess a new body to cultivate anew.
"That I know."
Lu Changsheng had previously seen the Xuanjian True Monarch engaging with the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, having set up measures early on to capture the other’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
Otherwise, if the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch’s Nascent Soul escaped into the void, it would have been impossible to pursue.
Recalling the Tianyuan Secret Realm years ago, both the Xuanjian True Monarch and the Absolute Sword True Monarch ambushed the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, only for the latter to escape by entering the void with his Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
"This escape into the void, it shouldn’t allow for escape too far, right?"
Lu Changsheng asked out of curiosity.
"Normally, breaking into the void allows one to escape thousands of miles instantly, but the essence of a Nascent Soul cultivator, including the soul, is concentrated in the Nascent Soul. If the Nascent Soul Origin is burned, escaping tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles is possible."
"It’s just that very few Nascent Soul cultivators do this; burning too much of the Nascent Soul Origin not only affects possessing a new body for cultivation, but also severely impacts future foundational strength."
"Additionally, the Nascent Soul Spirit Body is very fragile, and traveling through the void is also extremely dangerous."
Hong Lian said softly.
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, knowing that the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch had his physical body cleaved years ago, his Nascent Soul detached, and he’d undergone possession reincarnation, leading to a significant loss in power, which is why the Xuanjian True Monarch used him as a breakthrough point.
"Tsk, quite tragic."
Thinking of the fate of that Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional, unsure of his current situation.
...
After gaining a more detailed understanding of his combat strength against Nascent Soul cultivators, Lu Changsheng was in a good mood and returned to the City Lord Mansion with Hong Lian, deepening their emotional exchange.
With his physical body reaching quasi-fourth rank, Lu Changsheng was so enthusiastic that even Hong Lian could hardly withstand it, as if turned to mush, drenched in peach juice.
This made Lu Changsheng inwardly sigh, thinking if his physique advanced to the fourth rank, even Foundation Establishment cultivators might find it hard to withstand his overwhelming force.
Several days later, Lu Changsheng left the Great Dream Immortal City and returned to Bi Lake Mountain.
Even though the Lu Family now had two Nascent Soul Immortals presiding, they remained very low-key.
Just like the lifting of the ten-year restriction this time, many family forces watched the Lu Family, wanting to see if Lu Changsheng would take the opportunity to settle old scores with rival family forces.
Yet the Lu Family showed no movement.
"Husband!"
Lu Miaoyun was the first to know that Lu Changsheng had returned, and she informed him about the family matters over the past two years.
Lu Miaoge spent most of her time in closed-door cultivation in the Cave Heaven, while Meng Xiaochan would occasionally take her daughter, along with Lu Baixi and Lu Linghe, out for excursions.
After all, with their daughter grown up, it was time for her to go out and gain some experience.
And the three sisters were basically inseparable.
Recently, when they went out again, Lu Qingqi joined them and left together with Meng Xiaochan.
"Hehe."
Lu Changsheng trusted Meng Xiaochan quite a bit, knowing that with her, a Nascent Soul cultivator, taking care of them, nothing would go wrong.
After all, in the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, Nascent Soul cultivators are already part of the top rank.
As long as they didn’t actively seek trouble, no trouble would come looking for them.
Moreover, with their daughter Lu Mengchan, Meng Xiaochan was even less likely to take risks.
"There’s no need to worry too much about family matters; just maintain the status quo. Previously, after Sister Miaoge achieved Core Formation, the Qingyun Sect already had a slight issue with us, tempered only by the presence of Xi Yue, preventing them from taking action."
"But if we were to give them any leverage, the Qingyun Sect might definitely exploit it."
After Lu Miaoge’s breakthrough to Core Formation, Lu Changsheng visited the Qingyun Sect to meet the Qingyun Sect Master, from whose subtle facial expressions, he discerned a bit of apprehension.
It’s easy to imagine that the Qingyun Sect couldn’t stand idly by while his family grew.
That’s why Lu Changsheng previously sought out Chu Qingyi to inquire about Yun Wanshang, hoping to discuss things with the other party.
After all, he has no real interest in the Qingyun Sect’s small domain, simply using Bihu Mountain as a base for raising children.
"Husband, I understand."
Lu Miaoyun, having managed the family’s internal affairs for many years, naturally guessed some of Qingyun Sect’s attitudes.
Perhaps on the surface, they wouldn’t do anything to their family in the short term, but there will always be some apprehensions.
"But there’s no need to be too cautious either; our family doesn’t provoke issues, but we’re not afraid of them either."
Lu Changsheng spoke out.
The family won’t move, partly because it’s troublesome, and also because the Mount Sumeru Tree King can’t be moved, as the Xuantian Spirit Vine has been gathering energy for many years.
If Qingyun Sect really wants to cause trouble, he could only rely on pressure from the Great Dream Immortal City.
"Husband, Yun’er understands."
Lu Miaoyun responded with eyes filled with tender admiration, then continued speaking, indicating that the Five Elements Wang Family might be in danger this time.
With the ten-year peace period coming to an end, many family forces have started encroaching on the Wang Family’s territory, and even a newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator has set sights on the Five Elements Mountain of the Wang Family.
Lu Changsheng originally intended to say not to interfere.
But remembering the deal made with the Wang Family’s ancestor back then, who was sincere and gifted their family a superior-grade magical treasure and a middle-grade magical treasure.
"Let Jing’er ask them again; if the Wang Family cultivators are willing to give up Five Elements Mountain and move to Cangyun Mountain, that’s fine. If not, then let it be."
Lu Changsheng decided to give them one last chance.
If those Wang Family cultivators still insist on defending their ancestral land, he won’t bother himself over it.
"Or you could also ask Jing’er if the remaining magical treasures of the Five Elements Wang Family are up for sale."
Though Lu Changsheng, as a Third Rank Artifact Refiner, could create magical treasures himself.
But creating magical treasures also requires Third Rank materials, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Based on the Five Elements Mirror and the Five Elements Jade Pendant, the Wang Family probably has a set of Five Elements magical treasures.
If they could acquire it, in the future, Lu Xuanqian and Wang Yanjing, along with family members cultivating the "Five Elements Union Sutra," could use it, and it would fit perfectly with them.
"Remaining magical treasures?"
Lu Miaoyun had heard about such family heritage treasures but didn’t know the specifics.
"Yes, the original ancestor of the Wang Family had extraordinary strength and probably crafted a set of magical treasures based on their heritage. It’s just asking; if they’re willing to sell, great; if not, then let it go."
Lu Changsheng wasn’t about to take advantage of them. If they’re willing to sell, he can trade with Core Formation spiritual objects.
Over the years, occupying the Immortal City and hunting demons in the Great Dream Marsh, he collected the most Core Formation spiritual objects.
"Alright~"
Lu Miaoyun nodded in agreement.
...
Soon after, during the time that followed, Lu Changsheng spent time with his wives and children at home.
During that period, he went to see his son Lu Qingyue.
Utilizing the Xuantian Spirit Vine for cultivation, his mana had become much more refined and abundant, with a fifty to sixty percent probability of achieving a Perfect Foundation Base, although he hadn’t comprehended much yet.
This was normal.
If an Energy Refining cultivator can gain insight from the Xuantian Spirit Vine within three to four years, their comprehension could only be described as monstrous.
Lu Changsheng gave Lu Miaoyun the [Six-Eyed Bodhi Seed] he had won, explained its effects, and suggested giving it to Lu Qingyue for cultivation, indicating that if he thought it was time for Foundation Establishment, he should begin without needing to inform anyone.
A month later, Lu Changsheng told Lu Miaoge and a few others that he planned to visit the Jin Kingdom and if any urgent matter arises, they should crush the Sensing Talisman immediately, and he would rush back.
After much consideration, Lu Changsheng decided not to take the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] with him.
On one hand, the cost of activating the Mirror Disciple would be too severe, resulting in serious injury and weakness.
On the other hand, activating the Mirror Disciple would create a huge disturbance that might bring trouble to himself.
Moreover, according to Hong Lian’s assessment, his current strength could easily handle encounters with two Nascent Soul cultivators from Jin Kingdom one-on-one.
As he was about to head to the Jin Kingdom, Lu Changsheng didn’t forget about Chu Qingyi and spent seven days and nights discussing the sword with her.
Through this deep exchange over seven days and nights, Chu Qingyi finally broke through the bottleneck of her Second Grade Golden Core, advancing to a First Grade Immortal Golden Core!
"We are husband and wife; there’s no need for thanks."
In the underground palace, Lu Changsheng embraced the tall and graceful Sword Immortal child, her disheveled hair charming, and her face as beautiful as peach blossoms, speaking softly.
A few days later, Lu Changsheng parted ways with Chu Qingyi and began his journey toward the Jin Kingdom!
