Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2334: Chapter 775: _2

This particular poison, while not insurmountable, still possesses a certain intimidating effect.

"Poison?"

Yun Wanshang looked at Lu Changsheng’s methods with great surprise.

Had he also cultivated Poison Dao Divine Ability?

At his age, possessing such a cultivation level was already astounding; where would he find the time and energy to cultivate divine skills?

Moreover, Lu Changsheng’s mana belonged to the Yin Yang Attribute, which was repellent to Poison Dao Divine Ability, so even if he cultivated it, the results would be twice the effort for half the effect.

"The next stop, Xuanwu City."

Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang did not plan to return but continued to advance to the next city.

After selecting the city, Lu Changsheng tossed the Divination Coin for a simple divination.

"Lu Changsheng, are you performing divination?"

Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes showed doubt as she looked at Lu Changsheng in surprise.

If she could understand Poison Dao techniques,

then what on earth was this divination?

It was known that among the Hundred Arts of cultivation, divination was the most mysterious and profound.

Moreover, wasn’t the Lu Changsheng in front of her a Talisman Master?

Where did he find so much time and energy?

Lu Changsheng did not respond, but after a moment, seeing the divinatory symbols were steady and calm, without danger, he calmly put away the Divination Coin and chuckled, "I researched it a bit in my spare time and just played around with it."

"..."

Even though Lu Changsheng’s tone was casual, Yun Wanshang remained doubtful.

Yet her understanding told her that having cultivated for over a hundred years, he couldn’t possibly have had so much time and energy.

Lu Changsheng did not offer further explanation, and after resting for two days, the group resumed their journey, heading to the next city.

Having barely recovered their mana, Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan were like invincible existences, conquering six cities in merely half a month.

In no time, the entire Land of Eternal Night was in an uproar, and everyone knew that a top-level Outer Heaven powerhouse had arrived.

This kind of event had occurred before.

Whenever a Nascent Soul True Lord fell into the Land of Eternal Night and recovered their mana, it would shock the world.

...

Meanwhile, in a city bright as daylight.

A stunning woman, dressed in a dark red palace dress with a yingluo crown atop her head and skin as fair as snow, looked at the handsome man in the green robe in the painting before her, her flirtatious almond eyes reflecting a hint of coldness.

Although Lu Changsheng’s disguise and camouflage completely broke after entering the Land of Eternal Night, the Six Paths Demon Consort from the White Bone Demon Palace had already seen through his true appearance at the time.

So, upon seeing the painting of Lu Changsheng, she instantly recognized him as the one who had pinned her down...

Even without seeing through the disguise and camouflage, she could have recognized him immediately through the presence of Qian Zhuyan and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng beside him.

After all, had it not been for Qian Zhuyan, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, Lu Changsheng would not have been her match even if she were not at her peak condition.

"How did he recover so much strength in such a short time?"

The Six Paths Demon Consort appeared gorgeous and seductive, yet her countenance turned dignified and graceful, with a hint of puzzlement crossing her perfectly beautiful face.

Having entered the Land of Eternal Night, she adapted quickly, thanks to the Ghostly Soul Maidens and the Dao Soldiers, and her knowledge of some of the land’s secrets.

But how had the other party recovered so quickly?

"He possesses a Fourth Rank Physique, and puppets in this world are not suppressed, while that Golden Peng Bird has a ferociously strong physical body, comparable to top-level mutant creatures..."

The Six Paths Demon Consort pondered whether she should seize this opportunity to take revenge and turn Lu Changsheng into a corpse demon, a ghost spirit.

But recalling the dragon-like strength of his physique, the presence of Qian Zhuyan, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and the Soul-calling Beast that devoured her Fourth Rank ghost pet, she temporarily dismissed the idea.

She was even considering lying low for the moment, planning to tackle Lu Changsheng once she had awakened enough dormant mana.

Otherwise, if her revenge failed and she ended up defeated by him again...

Scenes from that previous encounter in the White Bone Palace quietly resurfaced in the mind of the Six Paths Demon Consort.

Her naturally alluring and charming eyes suddenly sparkled with a touch of mystery as if she were somewhat enchanted, and her flawless jade hand instinctively moved towards her skirt.

Yet recalled her state at the time, Lu Changsheng had remained steadfast and acted against her, which caused her expression to chill, enveloping her whole being in a terrifying aura of killing intent.

This man must die!

"According to the owner of the handbook, this world is hiding much more than meets the eye; there must be some secret. Given my current strength, I might be able to unravel the mysteries of this land..."

The Six Paths Demon Consort rose and gazed into the endless ink-black mountains, murmuring, as her crystal shoes, reminiscent of the Manzhu Shahu, complemented her alluring and seductive figure.

...

Lu Changsheng paid no attention to the situation with the Six Paths Demon Consort.

If not for meeting Yun Wanshang, without discovering the system’s additional child, he would have shown concern for this Demon Consort’s state.

However, having learned of his newfound child with a one in three chance of being fathered with the Six Paths Demon Consort, he had no desire to interact with her.

After all, not encountering her was fortunate for him.

If they met, and she threatened him with the child, what would he do?

Besides, his relationship with Yun Wanshang was gradually growing closer.

If he sought her help to gather intelligence about the Six Paths Demon Consort, but she learned about his connections with the Demon Consort, it could cause issues in their relationship.

After all, Yun Wanshang, as a Nascent Soul Immortal from the Qingyun Sect, held certain prejudices and animosity toward the Demon Path.

Especially someone like the top-level Demonic Path True Monarch, the Six Paths Demon Consort.

Lu Changsheng, together with Yun Wanshang, Qian Zhuyan, and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, directly subdued all the cities around Qingyun City.

Yet, despite spending a lot of time and effort, the gains were rather average.

It was less rewarding than their previous expedition with Yun Wanshang to the Forbidden Mountain Range.

One could say this approach was suitable for a slow, steady pursuit.

In the upcoming period, as long as he and Yun Wanshang cultivate peacefully in Qingyun City, they could be rewarded with a steady influx of spiritual products.

In his words, if not in a rush to leave, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t mind spending daily life together with Yun Wanshang, developing feelings over time.

But it had already been four years since he left home while traversing the Starry Sky Sea, and it had been almost two years since being swept into the Land of Eternal Night.

At the current pace, who knew when he could return home?

Trotting over his thoughts, he resolved to venture once again into the Forbidden Mountain for exploration, striving to recover his mana as much as possible, then attempt to tear through the sky’s light and leave this world.

"I’ll go with you,"

During their time together, Yun Wanshang sensed Lu Changsheng’s homesickness, his longing to leave this place.

Immediately, the two of them, along with one puppet and one Peng bird, departed from the radiant city, venturing into the darkness-shrouded Forbidden Mountain.

...

One year later.

Throughout this period, Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang, alongside Qian Zhuyan and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, continuously roamed through the Forbidden Mountain, searching for rare spiritual products.

Although well-prepared with numerous supplies, after a year of deep exploration, they were almost depleted.

Primarily, spiritual products in such a Forbidden Mountain were not boundless.

As they relentlessly searched, rare spiritual products became scarcer, necessitating the waiting for the emergence and growth of the celestial light and earth light.

On this day, Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng were keeping watch, allowing Yun Wanshang and Qian Zhuyan to restore their energy through sleep.

Although, as cultivators, they could go without rest for extended periods,

in states of mental exhaustion and overspent spirit, deep sleep was the best method of recovery.

Particularly in the notorious Forbidden Mountain Range, where maintaining vigilance consumed considerable mental spirit, Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang endeavored to sustain their conditions.

Lu Changsheng gazed at Yun Wanshang lying beside him in a colorful palace dress, her body elegantly curved with grace, without a trace of desire; his thoughts unconsciously drifted toward home.

This was his first long-time absence from home, the yearning indeed grew strong.

Despite his efforts, even venturing into such forbidden depths to seek spiritual products that might stimulate mana recovery, he couldn’t rapidly return home.

Suddenly, from the depths of the pitch-black, endlessly dark mountain, an indescribable mist surged forth like a tide.

The boundless black mist carried an aura of profound stillness, an eerie stillness laden with deathly intent.

"What is this... not good!"

Upon witnessing this mist, Lu Changsheng instinctively felt a sense of dread, immediately awakening Qian Zhuyan and Yun Wanshang, signalling them to quickly flee.

However, the black mist was exceedingly imposing, covering the sky like a tidal wave, enveloping him and Yun Wanshang in an instant.
