Chapter 884: Domineering God-Swallowing Technique, Danger, Thousand Blades Master! (

Chapter 880: Overbearing Devouring God Art, Danger, Thousand Blades True Lord! (Two-in-one, complete)

Currently, Lu Changsheng was supervising the army’s march, so he wasn’t in a hurry to extract the Devouring God Art from the System space.

He planned to comprehend this Cultivation Technique Legacy when they rested.

Days later, the army captured a strategic town and chose to set up camp to rest, waiting for other armies to gather and converge.

“System, Legacy.”

Taking advantage of this time, Lu Changsheng looked at the Devouring God Art in the System space and chose to use it.

Lu Changsheng was quite curious about this True Immortal Grade Divine Soul Cultivation Technique.

Immediately, the Cultivation methods, related content, and key points of the Devouring God Art poured into Lu Changsheng’s mind as if he had been enlightened.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, immersing his mind to quietly comprehend this True Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique.

After an unknown period, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, having fully absorbed the Devouring God Art.

One could only say that this Cultivation Technique truly lived up to its True Immortal Grade status.

It was incredibly profound, mysterious, and exceedingly overbearing.

Once successfully Cultivated, one’s Divine Sense could achieve an incredible amplification, directly doubling in power!

Moreover, the Cultivation method of this Cultivation Technique was truly extraordinary.

As described in the Cultivation Technique’s introduction, there were two ways to Cultivate the Devouring God Art.

The first method, the Dao of Heaven, takes from what is in excess and gives to what is insufficient.

One considers oneself insufficient, condenses a Devouring God Seed, and parasitizes it onto other living beings, absorbing their unconscious Spiritual Essence and Divine Thought during their growth and Cultivation, thereby nourishing one’s own Divine Soul, making it constantly solidify and strengthen.

This was equivalent to finding a living being to help oneself Cultivate.

The second method, the Dao of Man, takes from what is insufficient to serve what is in excess.

This involved actively plundering and devouring the Divine Soul essence of other living beings to nourish and enhance one’s own Divine Soul.

The two Cultivation methods did not conflict and could be practiced concurrently.

However, different Cultivation methods had different requirements for the Cultivator and would cause different degrees of side effects.

Firstly, to Cultivate the Devouring God Art, one must have Golden Core Realm Cultivation.

Moreover, both the Physical Body and Divine Soul must be strong enough to withstand the overbearing backlash of this Cultivation Technique.

After all, if the Divine Sense improved too much at once, and the Divine Soul and Physical Body were not strong enough to bear it, it could lead to instability in the Divine Soul and Physical Body.

The same applied to the two different Cultivation methods.

They had different requirements for the Physical Body and Divine Soul.

If the Physical Body and Divine Soul were insufficient, and one Cultivated too quickly, plundering and devouring too many Divine Souls of others, it could lead to one’s own Divine Soul becoming chaotic, falling into a state of chaotic slaughter and rampage, or even the collapse of the Divine Soul.

Another drawback was that once the Devouring God Art was Cultivated, it could not be stopped.

One must Breakthrough to the next layer within a limited time.

Otherwise, the after-effects of Cultivating the Devouring God Art would erupt, leading to Divine Soul chaos, falling into an out-of-control state of slaughter and confusion, making it difficult to die a natural death.

“This Devouring God Art is truly overbearing.”

“Or rather, no True Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique is easy to Cultivate.”

Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart.

The few True Immortal Grade Cultivation Techniques he had obtained.

The Yin Yang Creation Scripture was profound and mysterious, difficult to comprehend, and also required the Yin and Yang Qi as a guide to Cultivate.

The Vatican Devil True Saint Art not only required a third-tier Body Refining as a foundation but also needed Dual Cultivation of both Buddhist and Demonic Paths, using Demonic Path Origin, Heavenly Demon Blood, and buddha bone relic to cleanse the marrow and refine the body before one could even begin.

The True Spirit Nine Transformations was relatively simpler; with Golden Core Realm Cultivation and late-second-tier Body Refining, one could Cultivate the first transformation.

However, each transformation required a True Spirit essence blood as a guide!

And the subsequent True Spirit essence blood needed to maintain a certain balance with the previous essence blood.

The current Devouring God Art was also like this.

The first layer could be Cultivated at the Golden Core Realm.

However, it required Divine Sense comparable to a Golden Core Middle Stage, and Body Refining comparable to a third-tier Middle Stage.

And once Cultivated, one must Breakthrough to the second layer within a limited time.

The second layer of the Devouring God Art could only be Cultivated at the Nascent Soul Stage.

This meant that if one Cultivated the Devouring God Art and could not Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage and Cultivate the second layer of the Devouring God Art in this life, one would surely suffer an ominous end in old age, experiencing Divine Soul consciousness chaos, thereby falling into an out-of-control state of slaughter and confusion, making it difficult to die a natural death.

“However, this doesn’t seem to be a problem for me?”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart as he comprehended the Devouring God Art in his mind.

As a True Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique, the effect of the Devouring God Art was beyond doubt.

Not only could it greatly enhance Divine Sense.

It could also condense Devouring God Seeds and parasitize other living beings to help oneself Cultivate.

Or devour the Divine Soul essence of other living beings to nourish one’s own Divine Soul.

It could be said that it perfectly compensated for his shortcomings in the Divine Soul aspect.

After all, his early Divine Soul advantage at the same stage relied entirely on the amplification and growth of the Taiyi Soul Body.

However, after Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, the advantage of the Taiyi Soul Body, as a superior Spiritual Body, in terms of Divine Soul gradually diminished, making it difficult to achieve the significant improvement and advantage it had during the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Realm.

Now, he had just Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and relying on his Taiyi Divine Soul and Yin-Yang Myriad Laws Nascent Soul, his Divine Sense was comparable to a Nascent Soul middle stage.

But after Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul middle stage, his Divine Soul had little advantage when facing other top-tier Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivators or Late Stage Great Cultivators.

It was difficult to compensate for the accumulation and precipitation of hundreds of years of Cultivation between Cultivators.

If he relied on himself to improve and slowly Cultivate his Divine Soul, Lu Changsheng really couldn’t bear it, nor did he have the time.

Moreover, in addition to Divine Soul amplification and rapid Divine Soul Cultivation methods, the Devouring God Art also had several secret techniques.

For example, the Devouring God Seed parasitism could serve as a form of monitoring and a means of Restriction.

Furthermore, upon reaching a certain level of Cultivation, the Devouring God Art could condense a Devouring God Treasure Bottle in the Sea of Consciousness.

This bottle could not only suppress the Sea of Consciousness and resist and devour others’ Divine Sense attacks.

It could also be used to kill enemies and as a means of interrogating others.

“I possess the Taiyi Divine Soul, and my Divine Soul is inherently superior to Cultivators of the same rank; once I Cultivate the Devouring God Art, I won’t have to worry about my Divine Soul even more!”

“And since the Divine Soul and Physical Body are closely related, with my Chaos Body and fourth-tier Middle Stage physique, I don’t need to worry too much about my Physical Body not keeping up with my Divine Soul.”

“In fact, in the future, I can Breakthrough to fifth-tier Body Refining and fifth-tier Divine Soul first, just like I Breakthrough from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, and from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, and then attempt to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation!”

Lu Changsheng was quite confident in his Cultivation.

After all, with his top-tier Dao Body, the Chaos Body, and Heavenly Spiritual Root, his talent, if not unprecedented and unparalleled, was certainly rare in ten thousand years.

And his natural talent and aptitude were constantly accumulating and improving.

Breakthrough to Soul Transformation was not so out of reach.

As for the absence of Soul Transformation in the Southern Barrens.

Then he, Lu Changsheng, wouldn’t mind filling that void.

“Moreover, I don’t need to rush to plunder and devour the Divine Soul essence of other living beings to enhance my own Divine Soul.”

Through the System Legacy, Lu Changsheng understood the different circumstances of the two Cultivation methods of the Devouring God Art.

For example, the “Dao of Man, taking from what is insufficient to serve what is in excess,” where one plunders and devours too much of other living beings’ Divine Soul essence to nourish oneself, the greater the after-effects on one’s own Divine Soul.

Not only would the limited time to Breakthrough to the second layer become more urgent.

Once the Divine Soul entered a chaotic, out-of-control state, it would also be more severe.

The first method, the “Dao of Heaven, taking from what is in excess and giving to what is insufficient,” which involves absorbing the Spiritual Essence and Divine Thought of other living beings, was much better.

There would be drawbacks and potential Divine Soul problems, but they would not excessively worsen the situation.

Using Devouring God Seeds to parasitize and absorb the Spiritual Essence and Divine Thought of other living beings also involved many intricacies and theories.

For example, to achieve good results, one should definitely parasitize living beings that are inclined towards the Soul Dao.

Like the Ghoul-Faced Soul-Devouring Spider, the spiritual pet contracted by his son Lu Chensha;

The famous Soul Dao spiritual plant—the Soul Nurturing Tree;

Or, like his son Lu Qingxuan, a Cultivator who possesses a Soul Dao Spiritual Body.

However, Lu Changsheng already had a parasitic target in mind for this purpose.

The Nether Ghost Tree!

This fifth-tier spiritual plant, the sacred tree of the Nether Ghost race, might not be as good as Soul Dao spiritual plants like the Soul Nurturing Tree.

But as a fifth-tier spiritual plant, it daily exhaled and inhaled Nether Ghost Qi, absorbing Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence, turbid Qi, and Evil Qi, producing a considerable amount of Spiritual Essence and Divine Thought.

It was precisely this kind of energy and Divine Thought that allowed the Nether Ghost Tree to form a batch of cocoons every hundred years.

If Lu Changsheng chose to use the Nether Ghost Tree to Cultivate the Devouring God Art and parasitize it with Devouring God Seeds, it might have some impact on the Nether Ghost Tree.

For example, stunted growth, cessation of growth, or a reduction in the efficiency and quality of ghost cocoon formation.

“The Nether Ghost Tree forms cocoons once every hundred years, with a maximum of ten cocoons per formation. It will take an unknown number of years to Cultivate a Dao soldier unit.”

“Even with the ten thousand spirit bottle, it’s difficult for me to Cultivate the Nether Ghost Tree, so it’s better to use this fifth-tier spiritual plant to Cultivate the Devouring God Art.”

Considering his situation and the Nether Ghost Tree in the System space, Lu Changsheng decided to Cultivate the Devouring God Art to compensate for his shortcomings in the Divine Soul aspect.

Otherwise, his Divine Soul would be at a great disadvantage if he encountered a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator.

“In that case, I’ll start Cultivating the Devouring God Art after the war ends.”

Lu Changsheng was confident he could quickly get started and achieve success in the first two layers of the Devouring God Art.

However, this type of Cultivation required a quiet environment and some prior preparation.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t possibly Cultivate the Devouring God Art while marching and supervising the army.

If he were disturbed and made a mistake, his Divine Soul could be damaged, affecting his condition.

Time passed bit by bit.

The Cultivator armies of the Mixed Origin Sect, Violet Radiance Sect, Heaven Sword Sect, and Qingyun Sect had all invaded Liang Country’s territory, preparing to converge for the final decisive battle.

At this moment, Sword Saint Monarch sent a message,

Inviting Lu Changsheng, Caiyun Zhenjun, Hunyuan Zhenjun, and Zi Guang Zhenjun to a pre-decisive battle meeting.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng instructed his wife Lu Miaoge and Qian Zhuyan, then flew out from where the army was located to converge and discuss.

Not long after, Hunyuan Zhenjun, Sword Saint Monarch, Zi Guang Zhenjun, and Caiyun Zhenjun all arrived.

As for Xuanjian Zhenjun, he had already infiltrated the heartland of Liang Country to investigate the situation of the Beast God Mountain and the armies of the Seven Kill Sect and Tianmu Sect.

Although this Liang Yue War was instigated by Liang Country and Yue Country, with the two countries as the battlefield.

But with the entry of Lu Changsheng, a Nascent Soul powerhouse, and the agreement for Liang Country to exchange Jiang Country, this war was already primarily led by the Heaven Sword Sect and Great Dream Immortal City.

Therefore, Xuanjian Zhenjun was very concerned and attached great importance to this war.

When the army set off, he went to the heartland of Liang Country to investigate the Beast God Mountain’s situation.

“Hunyuan Zhenjun.”

Among the four Nascent Soul True Lords, Sword Saint Monarch and Yun Wanchang, Lu Changsheng were already acquainted.

Zi Guang Zhenjun had been seen in Crimson Peak Immortal City, but Hunyuan Zhenjun was meeting for the first time.

This Hunyuan Zhenjun wore a black and white Daoist robe, was of medium height, and had an aged appearance, far less youthful than the other four present.

According to Lu Changsheng’s understanding, this Hunyuan Zhenjun was already over eight hundred years old, older than everyone else present.

It was precisely because of this that the Mixed Origin Sect had been actively cultivating new Nascent Soul cultivators in recent years.

Hunyuan Zhenjun was worried that after his demise, the Mixed Origin Sect would not have new Nascent Soul cultivators to support it.

“Yangming True Lord.”

Although Hunyuan Zhenjun’s face was aged, his spirit was robust. He cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Changsheng, sizing up this mysterious Nascent Soul powerhouse.

“Yangming True Lord.” Although Zi Guang Zhenjun cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Changsheng, he showed no enthusiasm.

After all, his Violet Radiance Sect’s battleships, spiritual boats, warships, and other strategic materials in Crimson Peak Immortal City had all fallen into Lu Changsheng’s hands, causing the counterattack to be affected and its progress delayed.

Especially since Lu Changsheng had previously claimed that the Immortal City’s resources were plundered by the Beast God Mountain, yet now he was openly using his own Violet Abyss, which clearly showed he didn’t care about him at all.

“Yangming True Lord, according to my Senior Brother’s observations over these past few days, aside from forcibly conscripting Cultivators from the Shura Sect and Heavenly Fiend Sect, the Beast God Mountain has remained silent, and there has been no trace of the Devil Dao Emissary.”

After everyone had arrived, Sword Saint Monarch looked at Lu Changsheng and spoke.

If based on seniority, this meeting should have been led by Hunyuan Zhenjun.

After all, the Mixed Origin Sect was not only the dominant force in Yue Country, but Hunyuan Zhenjun’s strength also surpassed that of Zi Guang Zhenjun, Sword Saint Monarch, and Yun Wanchang present.

However, Lu Changsheng’s demonstrated strength was too astonishing.

He was directly one level higher than everyone else present, so this meeting was directly led by Lu Changsheng, the Nascent Soul powerhouse.

“What about the Chi Shen Sect, Tianmu Sect, and Seven Kill Sect?” Lu Changsheng inquired.

“The Chi Shen Sect is like the Beast God Mountain, with no movement. As for the Tianmu Sect and Seven Kill Sect…”

Sword Saint Monarch paused, then looked at Hunyuan Zhenjun and Zi Guang Zhenjun, asking, “Hunyuan Zhenjun, Zi Guang Zhenjun, do you have any news from Liang Country?”

Since this war had been going on for so many years, Yue Country had naturally planted many hidden agents. Their intelligence in Liang Country was superior to that of his Heaven Sword Sect.

“These past few days, most of my Mixed Origin Sect’s informants and hidden agents have been purged. We only know that Nightmare Eye True Lord has retreated to the Chi Shen Sect with the Tianmu Sect’s Golden Core Realm Cultivators.”

Hunyuan Zhenjun spoke, “As for the Seven Kill Sect, they have been lurking in the shadows, with no news.”

The whereabouts of Nascent Soul True Lords were always elusive, like a Dragon seeing its head but not its tail.

This was also true during wartime.

Assassination forces like the Seven Kill Sect, and the supporting Thousand Blades True Lord and the Seven Kill Sect’s Golden Core Realm Cultivators, rarely appeared openly except when taking action, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

“Hmm, my Violet Radiance Sect is the same. Our hidden agents and informants have been purged, and not much news has come back.” Zi Guang Zhenjun spoke.

“Fellow Daoist Jue Jian, did True Lord Xuanjian send any other messages?”

Hunyuan Zhenjun asked Sword Saint Monarch, knowing that True Lord Xuanjian was not only exceptionally strong but also a Grandmaster of Divination Dao.

During his reconnaissance, he could analyze some intelligence through heavenly insights.

“Senior Brother just felt that the situation was very unusual and hoped that City Lord Wang could go there to observe the Beast God Mountain’s situation together, keeping an eye on Nine Spirits True Lord and the Blood Sea Sect’s envoy.”

Sword Saint Monarch said with a solemn expression, then looked at Lu Changsheng.

Although Xuanjian Zhenjun was exceptionally strong, infiltrating the heartland of Liang Country still carried a certain danger.

“Understood.”

Lu Changsheng faced their gazes, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

Liang Country had gathered all its forces at Beast God Mountain and Chi Shen Sect, indicating that the decisive battle was imminent.

In such a situation, he, as a top-tier combatant, naturally could no longer remain in the rear, leisurely supervising the battle.

It would be best to go to Beast God Mountain, keep a close eye on Nine Spirits True Lord, and restrain him to prevent him from escaping or flipping the table.

“In that case, this Old Man will go to the Chi Shen Sect to restrain and keep an eye on Yun Mei True Lord.”

Hunyuan Zhenjun said in a deep voice.

Although Nightmare Eye True Lord of the Tianmu Sect was very likely in the Chi Shen Sect, and Thousand Blades True Lord of the Seven Kill Sect might also be lurking in support.

But the next phase was the great decisive battle.

He had to contribute during this stage to better divide the spoils of war after the battle.

His Mixed Origin Sect’s True Lord Yuan Qi, whom they had painstakingly cultivated, had his Dharma Body shattered under Nine Spirits True Lord’s ambush, and only escaped by burning the Origin of his Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

Even if he were to possess another body and re-Cultivate in the future, he would be limited to the first or second layer of Nascent Soul.

Therefore, he had to rely on this war to acquire enough resources to Cultivate a third Nascent Soul cultivator for the Mixed Origin Sect within his lifetime.

“Thousand Blades True Lord is very likely lurking in the Chi Shen Sect, Fellow Daoist Hunyuan, I will go with you, so we can look out for each other.”

Zi Guang Zhenjun spoke, also wanting to share in the military merits, and then use them to exchange for Wu Country after the fact.

“In that case, Caiyun Zhenjun, shall we each command an army from the rear, attacking Beast God Mountain and Chi Shen Sect respectively?”

Sword Saint Monarch did not contend, looking at Yun Wanchang and asking.

“Agreed.” Yun Wanchang nodded in response, having no objections.

Although she possessed Nascent Soul Cultivation, and was even a top-tier Earth Dao Nascent Soul.

However, she had not mastered any Divine Ability, only a few Nascent Soul spells, and her body had not yet fully recovered, preventing her from fighting at full strength.

After discussing some details and finalizing the situation, they ended the meeting.

“Thank you for your hard work, City Lord Wang. If I was disrespectful during my previous visit, please do not take offense, True Lord. Jue Jian apologizes here to the True Lord.”

Although Sword Saint Monarch sensed that this Great Dream City Lord was not a petty person, he still took this opportunity to come and apologize to Lu Changsheng.

“Fellow Daoist Jue Jian, you speak too highly.”

Although Lu Changsheng held grudges, as long as it wasn’t overly aggressive or harmful to his wife and children, he wouldn’t take it to heart and nitpick.

After exchanging a few words with Sword Saint Monarch, Lu Changsheng sent a message to Yun Wanchang, calling out, “Caiyun Zhenjun.”

“What is it, Yangming True Lord?”

In such a public setting, Yun Wanchang still paid attention to her image, trying to avoid too much intimate contact with Lu Changsheng, the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Lord.

“Here are some Medicinal Pills and Talismans; you should keep them.”

Lu Changsheng tossed a Storage Pouch to Yun Wanchang and said via sound transmission.

Sword Saint Monarch, Hunyuan Zhenren, and others were unaware of Yun Wanchang’s condition, but Lu Changsheng was very clear.

He knew that once she engaged a Nascent Soul cultivator, her poor condition would be exposed.

“I’m fine.” Yun Wanchang was very strong-willed and felt she already owed Lu Changsheng a lot, so she didn’t want to accept any more favors from him.

“Just take them. If you don’t use them, you can return them to me later.”

Lu Changsheng knew her personality and said with a faint smile.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Wanchang’s elegant and beautiful face, which slightly froze.

Then his pupils sparkled, and profound destiny flowed.

“What’s wrong?” Yun Wanchang asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable seeing Lu Changsheng looking at her like that.

“Don’t move.”

Lu Changsheng said in a deep voice, continuing to gaze at her.

He even reached out and cupped her face, examining her carefully.

It was as if he wanted to observe every inch of her beautiful face in meticulous detail.

“What are you doing!?”

If Hunyuan Zhenjun, Sword Saint Monarch, and the others hadn’t already left, and Lu Changsheng hadn’t looked so serious and solemn, Yun Wanchang would have instinctively pushed Lu Changsheng away.

But even so, a hint of annoyance surged in her heart.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng suddenly leaned in, kissed her red lips, and said with a faint smile, “Nothing, it’s just that a day without seeing you feels like three autumns. I just wanted to get a good look at you.”

“Lu Changsheng, you!”

Yun Wanchang blushed and glared, feeling both shy and annoyed, her proud chest heaving with anger.

If she couldn’t defeat Lu Changsheng and wasn’t worried about causing too much of a commotion, she would have even wanted to give him two sword strikes.

Not only did he tease her two disciples, but now he was also teasing her.

“Damn scoundrel!” Yun Wanchang was very annoyed in her heart.

But she was even more annoyed that she could no longer intimidate the Lu Changsheng in front of her.

Immediately, she let out a cold snort and transformed into a colorful rainbow, disappearing into the sky.

After Yun Wanchang left, Lu Changsheng tossed out a turtle shell and three divination copper coins.

This turtle shell was a divination artifact obtained from Zhenhai Sect.

Although it wasn’t from Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor.

It was also a fourth-grade turtle shell, but the refining method was very crude.

Through divination, Lu Changsheng knew that he hadn’t seen wrong just now.

A hint of ominous qi appeared between Yun Wanchang’s brows.

Although it was just a premonition, barely a minor ill omen, it indicated that she might encounter danger next.

Lu Changsheng pondered, suspecting that Yun Wanchang and Sword Saint Monarch would be attacked on their way to lead their respective armies against Chi Shen Sect and Beast God Mountain.

“Devil Dao Emissary? Or Thousand Blades True Lord…”

Nine Spirits True Lord was at Beast God Mountain, and Yun Mei True Lord also needed to be stationed at Chi Shen Sect.

So the Nascent Soul cultivators who came to attack could only be the Devil Dao Emissary from Blood Sea Sect, Nightmare Eye True Lord from Tianmu Sect, and Thousand Blades True Lord from Seven Kill Sect.

And according to various intelligence analyses, this Devil Dao Emissary from the Blood Sea Sect, one of the Seven Demonic Sects, was likely at the Nascent Soul middle stage.

If a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator came to attack Yun Wanchang, it wouldn’t be a minor ill omen; it would be at least a medium ill omen, or even a major ill omen.

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then returned to the Crimson Peak Immortal City army front with Golden Winged Roc.

Through observation, he found that his wife Lu Miaoge, and his son Lu Lingxiao, both had more or less ominous qi appearing between their brows.

However, when he looked at other Cultivators, including his son Lu Qingxuan and daughter Lu Wangshu, none of them had this kind of ominous qi.

“The one who attacked Caiyun also wants to harm my Great Dream Immortal City and the Lu Family disciples.”

Lu Changsheng suddenly understood, deep in thought.

After a divination, Lu Changsheng summoned Qian Zhuyan.

“Little Yan, you transform into my appearance and go to Beast God Mountain with Golden Winged Roc to rendezvous with Xuanjian Zhenjun.”

Lu Changsheng said to Qian Zhuyan, deciding to let Qian Zhuyan go to Beast God Mountain in his place.

According to his divination, there was a high probability that a Nascent Soul True Lord from Yuan Country would come to attack Yun Wanchang’s army.

Besides Yun Wanchang, their targets also included Lu Lingxiao, the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City.

And Lu Miaoge, Lu Qingxuan, and Lu Wangshu, who were closely related to Great Dream Immortal City.

Under such circumstances, Lu Changsheng naturally couldn’t rest assured about going to Beast God Mountain.

But through fourth-grade divination, and the subtle heavenly secret sensing generated by his Taiyi Divine Soul.

He realized that if he didn’t go to Beast God Mountain with Golden Winged Roc, the predicted outcome would be affected.

“Alright.” Qian Zhuyan never questioned Lu Changsheng’s words much, always obeying his commands.

“Little Yan, take these two Magic Treasures with you.”

Lu Changsheng gave Qian Zhuyan the communication Talisman between himself and Xuanjian Zhenjun, and then found two disguise Magic Treasures from his Storage Ring.

Although the latter possessed illusionary means, they were not profound.

They couldn’t deceive a Nascent Soul True Lord’s Divine Sense and pupil Divine Ability.

However, under the concealment of the two Magic Treasures and Golden Winged Roc’s demonic power, as long as she didn’t use her puppet power and wasn’t observed at close range by a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would still be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

“Golden Winged Roc, from now on, cooperate with Little Yan as much as possible. If there’s danger, take Little Yan and retreat immediately.”

Lu Changsheng said to Golden Winged Roc, not ordering it to obey Qian Zhuyan.

After all, Golden Winged Roc had its own thoughts and a rebellious nature. Ordering it to obey Qian Zhuyan might make it unhappy and throw a tantrum.

“Don’t worry, Master.” Golden Winged Roc replied.

Although Master always brought him to high-level battles, and he had to burn his life Origin, suffer severe injuries, or have his essence blood extracted every now and then.

But he, Golden Winged Roc, was only loyal to Master!

Moreover, Master was very good to him.

For example, the Jiaolong Shengzi and Yellow Springs Dragon remnant souls that were still being digested in his stomach.

After seeing Golden Winged Roc leave with Qian Zhuyan, who was disguised as “Yangming True Lord,” Lu Changsheng quietly went to where “Chang Sheng Zhenren” was.

He recalled the Sanbao Avatar into his body, returning to his true self, preparing to play along and wait for the crisis to appear.

As “Yangming True Lord” headed to Beast God Mountain, and Hunyuan Zhenjun and Zi Guang Zhenjun arrived at Chi Shen Sect, the original five armies reassembled and merged into two Cultivator armies.

One army, led by Sword Saint Monarch, attacked Beast God Mountain.

The other army, led by Caiyun Zhenjun, attacked Chi Shen Sect.

The Crimson Peak front army under Yangming True Lord was merged into the army led by Caiyun Zhenjun, heading towards Chi Shen Sect.

A few days later, the armies converged, and Lu Changsheng not only saw Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi.

He also saw his son Lu Qingshan and daughter Lu Qingzhu from Jin Yang Sect.

However, he didn’t go to see his children immediately.

Instead, he took Lu Miaoge and his son Lu Lingxiao, the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, to pay respects to Caiyun Zhenjun.

In response, Yun Wanchang directly assigned her disciples Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi to handle these matters.

“???” Lu Changsheng strongly suspected that she didn’t want to see him.

“Xiao Xiyue, Immortal Master Qingyi.”

“Chang Sheng, Miaoge, Young City Lord Wang.”

Although Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi knew that the City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City was Lu Changsheng.

And the Young City Lord was also Lu Changsheng’s son.

But in such a setting, they would still address them by their titles.

With his wife Lu Miaoge and son Lu Lingxiao by his side, Lu Changsheng couldn’t speak too intimately with Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi.

Moreover, he possessed the Taiyi Divine Soul, and his Divine Sense was comparable to a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator, so he vaguely felt someone peeking at him.

Although he didn’t use his Divine Sense, Lu Changsheng could guess the owner of this Divine Sense.

Most likely, it was the two girls’ Master, Yun Wanchang.

“Could this woman have a peeping habit?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself that if he were to probe with his Divine Sense now, the other party would probably get angry and embarrassed again.

After a brief chat, Lu Changsheng took Xiao Xiyue to see his daughter Lu Wangshu.

The mother and daughter, who hadn’t seen each other for many years, were both excited and delighted to see each other.

Especially Xiao Xiyue, seeing her daughter Lu Wangshu successfully Breakthrough to Core Formation.

However, Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi now had many matters at hand and no leisure to spend much time with Lu Wangshu.

Not long after, Lu Qingshan brought his younger sister Lu Qingzhu to find Lu Changsheng.

Previously, when he heard that a Nascent Soul True Lord had intervened and the Crimson Peak front had fallen, he immediately rushed back to Jin Yang Sect.

He wanted to send his younger sister Lu Qingzhu to the rear, or even to Jiang Country, Qingluan Immortal City.

But before he could reach Jin Yang Sect, he heard that Yangming True Lord had recaptured Crimson Peak Immortal City and captured and killed four Nascent Soul cultivators.

He immediately rushed back to Jin Yang Sect, thinking of taking his sister to see his father.

However, as soon as he returned to the Sect, he was conscripted by Jin Yang Sect Leader and couldn’t take his sister to Crimson Peak Immortal City.

“Dad, Auntie, oh, Wangshu, you’ve Breakthrough to Core Formation.”

Lu Qingshan was a cold and aloof sword Immortal outside, but in front of his Family, he was always carefree and casual.

“Daddy, Mommy, Wangshu.” Lu Qingzhu, in a rainbow feather garment, was different from her brother Lu Qingshan; she had a quiet personality and called out to her parents with a joyful and longing expression.

“Brother Qingshan, Sister Qingzhu.” Lu Wangshu called out to them.

“Qingshan, Xiao Zhu’er.”

Seeing this pair of children, Lu Changsheng was still very happy and affectionately inquired about his daughter Lu Qingzhu’s situation over the years.

The Family chatted for a while. Seeing that there were no outsiders here, Lu Qingshan immediately asked Lu Changsheng stealthily, “Dad, what’s going on between you and the Great Dream City Lord?”

“What’s going on?” Lu Changsheng asked, feigning ignorance.

“Dad, it’s already this time, and you’re still hiding it from me.” Lu Qingshan said.

“You’ll know naturally later.”

Lu Changsheng said with a chuckle, letting his son guess.

“Sigh, it’s a pity I wasn’t in the Scarlet Peak Mountain Range at that time, so I couldn’t witness the grand spectacle of you, Dad, capturing and killing four Nascent Soul True Lords alone.”

Lu Qingshan said with a regretful expression.

“Indeed.” Lu Wangshu on the side quickly agreed.

Then she looked at Lu Qingshan and said, “Brother Qingshan, I heard from Qingxuan that you’ve already Breakthrough to Core Formation Middle Stage, and you even killed a Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator from Beast God Mountain earlier.”

Lu Qingshan immediately waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, “That’s nothing, not worth mentioning.”

After speaking, he sighed lightly and said with some emotion, “If only I had enough resources to upgrade the grade of my Flying Sword, which would complete my seven luminaries Great Gengjin Sword Array, then even a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator, I could fight, or even kill.”

“?” Lu Wangshu originally wanted to flatter Lu Qingshan and get some benefits from him.

Unexpectedly, his words about being poor came so easily, and he even hinted to his father next to him that his Flying Sword’s grade was currently insufficient.

“Oh? How are your Great Gengjin Swordplay and Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture Cultivation now?”

Lu Changsheng naturally heard his son’s words, but he was still quite curious about his son’s sword Dao Cultivation.

“Hehe.” Seeing his father interested, Lu Qingshan immediately opened up the topic and talked endlessly.

Then the father and son began to discuss the sword Dao.

In the past, Lu Changsheng’s sword Dao level was entirely supported by the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture inherited from the System, lacking his own insights.

Now, with the Chaos Body fused with the Innate Sword Embryo, his sword Dao talent has reached an astonishing level.

Not only has he thoroughly mastered the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, but he also possesses his own understanding of the sword Dao.

However, he still spent too little time on the sword Dao, and couldn’t completely surpass Lu Qingshan.

“After this battle, you and Xiao Zhu’er should go home.”

Lu Changsheng said to his son, preparing to pass on the Nine Leaf Sword Secret to him then.

“Alright.” Lu Qingshan responded, then stated that Xiao Zhu’er should undergo Core Formation soon.

Although he had exchanged for a Ningjing Pill and several Core Formation spiritual items, he still felt it wasn’t stable enough, and there were still Five Elements Spiritual Fruit or superior Core Formation spiritual items at home.

“Don’t worry, you don’t need to bother about these.”

Lu Changsheng was very satisfied with his son’s love and care for his younger sister.

Before his daughter Lu Qingzhu obtained the Heaven Mending Pill, she was only a 7th Grade Spiritual Root.

But even under such circumstances, with Lu Qingshan’s care, she successfully Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

“Hehe, hearing you say that, Dad, I’m relieved.” Lu Qingshan grinned.

As the army fully converged and prepared to attack Chi Shen Sect, Lu Changsheng also met with the leading high-level figures of several forces, including Jin Yang Sect and Mixed Origin Sect.

These leading high-level figures were all at the Core Formation Late Stage, or even Core Formation Great Immortal Master Cultivation.

For example, Lu Changsheng’s “Chang Sheng Zhenren” alias was even considered to have a relatively low Cultivation.

However, relying on the prestige of “Yangming True Lord,” these Cultivators showed no disrespect towards the “Core Formation Fourth Layer” Vice City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, and the “Core Formation Third Layer” Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, treating them all very courteously.

During the process, Lu Changsheng also saw his children’s Master, Immortal Master Tianyuan.

This Immortal Master Tianyuan was a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator and one of the high-ranking members of Jin Yang Sect.

“Immortal Master Tianyuan.” Lu Changsheng treated his son’s Master with friendliness and courtesy.

“Chang Sheng Zhenren.”

Immortal Master Tianyuan had met Lu Changsheng only a handful of times.

But she had witnessed him grow from an unknown small Family to a couple both achieving Foundation Establishment.

Then the couple both achieved Core Formation, and the title of “Heavenly Talisman Couple” resounded throughout Jiang Country and Yue Country.

Now, with the formidable reputation and terrifying achievements of the Great Dream City Lord, Yangming True Lord, Lu Changsheng’s status as the Vice City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City also rose significantly.

Even she, a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator, treated Lu Changsheng as an equal.

Thinking back a hundred years ago, when he had just Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Now his achievements were almost catching up to hers, and in the future, he might even surpass her. Immortal Master Tianyuan felt a wave of emotion.

She envied Lu Changsheng immensely for having such a powerful backer as the Great Dream City Lord, Yangming True Lord.

If her Jin Yang Sect had a Nascent Soul True Lord, the path to Nascent Soul for their Core Formation high-level members wouldn’t be so difficult.

As the leading high-level figures from various forces met and discussed the general situation, the army then advanced towards Chi Shen Sect.

At the same time.

In a certain underground cave, Thousand Blades True Lord opened his eyes.

“Yangming True Lord has already gone to Beast God Mountain, and Hunyuan Zhenjun and Zi Guang Zhenjun have arrived at Chi Shen Sect. We can prepare to make our move.”

Looking at the information in his hand, Thousand Blades True Lord’s figure silently disappeared into the underground cave.

Although Yuan Country’s war situation was already lost, it would be difficult to salvage unless Yangming True Lord was killed.

However, their Yuan Country could not sit idly by and watch Jiang Country and Yue Country continuously grow stronger.

Once Jiang Country and Yue Country annexed and occupied Liang Country and Wu Country, they might advance into the Endless Desert, threatening their Yuan Country.

Therefore, they seized this opportunity to weaken the forces of Jiang Country and Yue Country by killing each of their top combatants.

And Yun Wanchang, who had just Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, was their primary target.

After all, Yun Wanchang had only recently Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, her Divine Ability methods weren’t profound, and the Qingyun Sect she belonged to was once only a Core Formation force, indicating that its Nascent Soul foundation was ordinary, most likely a Human Dao Nascent Soul.

Facing such a Nascent Soul cultivator, Thousand Blades True Lord was highly confident in his ability to assassinate her.

Besides this, they also planned to use this opportunity to deal with Chang Sheng Zhenren and Miaoge Zhenren, who had once humiliated their Seven Kill Sect in the first battle.

And to capture Lu Lingxiao, the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, in order to ascertain the background and circumstances of the Great Dream City Lord, Yangming True Lord.
