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

Chapter 2820: Chapter 909: Peach Blossom Gu Upgrade, Star King’s Great Calamity!

Even though she regarded these Core Formation cultivators with indifference, Hong Lian knew the situation in the Starry Sky Sea.

She had heard Lu Changsheng speak of his general experiences in the Starry Sky Sea and was aware that he had once entered the Goddess Palace.

She knew the arrival of the female cultivator named "Qin Yunning" probably had something to do with what Lu Changsheng had done at the Goddess Palace.

Since only a Nascent Soul cultivator was visiting and the matter wasn’t extremely urgent, she didn’t activate the emergency communication token to inform Lu Changsheng.

To avoid disturbing Lu Changsheng, making him abandon the matters in the Jin Kingdom and rush back here.

But after such a long time, Lu Changsheng still hadn’t returned, causing Hong Lian to worry that he might be busy outside for years again.

"If he’s not back yet, I should let my husband know," she thought silently. On one hand, it concerned Xu Ruyin and Qin Yunning’s matters.

On the other hand, her preparations for her Nascent Soul were nearly complete, and she was readying herself for a breakthrough into the Nascent Soul stage.

At this very moment, in the Great Dream Immortal City, atop a pavilion.

Qin Yunning, dressed in a flowing blue and white fringed dress, stood tall and elegant.

She was here on behalf of her master to meet the Vice City Lord of the Great Dream Immortal City, Changsheng True Master.

Since the latter wasn’t present, she waited patiently.

After all, she couldn’t be careless with tasks entrusted by her master.

During this half year, she wasn’t just waiting in frustration but engaged in closed-door cultivation, paying attention, inquiring, and understanding the situation in Jiang Country.

Upon learning information about this Vice City Lord, Changsheng True Master, Qin Yunning was puzzled and confused.

She couldn’t understand why her master knew of someone like Changsheng True Master, such a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, and even sent her to deliver a message.

Given her master’s cultivation level and status, communicating with the lord of this Great Dream Immortal City, Dream City Master, Yangming True Monarch, seemed more appropriate.

During this period, while gathering intelligence, Qin Yunning also heard the news about Dream City Master, Yangming True Monarch, who pacified the Liang Yue War.

Although Jiang Country was relatively poor and backward compared to the Starry Sky Sea.

The strength displayed by this Dream City Master, Yangming True Monarch, was undoubtedly indisputable.

He belonged to the top Nascent Soul cultivators, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage giant!

Thus Qin Yunning suspected that her master might have instructed her to deliver the message to Dream City Master.

Yet, Qin Yunning was aware that her master wouldn’t make such a mistake.

She could only suppress her confusion and wait quietly for Changsheng True Master to return from the Liang Country front.

...

Starry Sky Sea, Star Moon Palace.

"Ominous, ominous, ominous!"

In the secret chamber of divination, Star King looked pale, extremely troubled.

Previously, his divinations of his own fortune had always been fluctuating, leaning towards more misfortune and less fortune, while trying to find a way to survive.

Upon knowing Dream City Master, Yangming True Monarch, executed six Nascent Soul cultivators, certainly being a reincarnated great power, he recuperated and spent a huge sum to recalculate.

Now, after a series of calculations, it was all ominous signs, even vaguely forming a great omen of disaster!

As a top-level diviner, Star King naturally understood what a great omen indicated: a narrow escape from death, disaster striking!

With Star Moon Palace’s Fourth Rank Forbidden Array and numerous protective measures, even if Turtle Immortal Ancestor and Six Path Demon Lord attacked, he would be unafraid and could thwart them.

But now, within Star Moon Palace, he was faintly seeing an omen of disaster forming.

Faced with such divinatory symbols, how could Star King not be terrified?

"Moon Venerate!"

Star King immediately realized Moon Venerate might betray him.

After all, Moon Venerate and he co-managed Star Moon Palace, operating the great formation of protection; even if a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator attacked, they would be repelled.

The fact that within Star Moon Palace, he was on the verge of a disaster could only mean one thing: Moon Venerate was betraying him.

Or perhaps, Moon Venerate had given up on helping him, maybe even chosen to assist others!

Thinking of these, Star King’s face grew increasingly grim.

Though he and Moon Venerate weren’t husband and wife Dao companions, they had known each other and worked together for centuries.

Now, the other likely betrayed him for a vague ancestral instruction; how could he not be enraged?

"In just two years, my divinatory symbols went from fluctuating fortune to forming an impending great misfortune, indicating that this person’s strength and methods are rapidly advancing!"

"Apart from Moon Venerate, this person must possess other means. If this continues... I might be completely killed."

Star King’s heart trembled.

Being a top-level diviner, he had a strong ability to preserve his life.

Whenever encountering danger, he would have a spiritual sense to perceive it.

But precisely because of this, he felt intensely the looming death crisis enveloping him.

"This person, even if not the East Emperor or Sea Master reincarnated, is of the same great power level. If this person keeps growing at this rate, it would be only a matter of time before they annihilate me. I absolutely cannot continue like this, sitting and waiting for death."

Star King’s face turned sinister and cold.

He believed once Dream City Master had the confidence to destroy him completely, he would attack Star Moon Palace.

"Escape, currently for me, there’s only one choice, to flee."

After a moment of thought, Star King made his decision.

He planned to abandon the foundation of Star Moon Palace and escape the Starry Sky Sea.

After all, he couldn’t afford to provoke them; he could only choose to flee.

"The movements must be swift. Such a top-level great power’s reincarnation cannot be measured by normal standards; in a matter of decades, they might possess Nascent Soul Late Stage combat strength."

Star King, having cultivated to this point, daring to go with Sea Suppression Ancestor to ambush the "East Emperor’s Successor," naturally belonged to a resolute and decisive person.

The foundation of Star Moon Palace, though rare and precious, could not compare to his own life in importance.

His lifespan was still long, with a promising future ahead, potentially reaching Nascent Soul Late Stage; how could he sit here, waiting for death?

With his cultivation strength and divination heritage, wherever he went, he would find his place!

Immediately, Star King ingested an Elixir Medicine to start healing his wounds, replenishing the Essence Blood sources consumed by divination, to prevent Moon Venerate from noticing anything.

Previously escaping from Fu Hai Sect back to Star Moon Palace, Moon Venerate was already aware of something amiss.

During the past more than two years, he had been in the secret chamber continuously calculating.

If Moon Venerate saw his depleted Essence Blood and reduced lifespan, she would certainly deduce much information.
