Chapter 315: Dan Jie Ceremony, twins are born!

Qingyun Sect.

Due to the Core Formation Grand Ceremony, Qingyun Sect had been exceptionally lively these past few days, with a constant stream of visitors.

Countless Cultivators rushed to Qingyun Sect to offer congratulations.

Even many Loose Cultivators came near the Qingyun Mountain Range, at the foot of the mountain, hoping to encounter some high-ranking individual and be favored by them, thereby obtaining an Opportunity.

After Lu Changsheng, Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, and others arrived at Qingyun Sect and presented their gifts, they were arranged to stay in the guest courtyard, awaiting the ceremony to begin for observation.

Cultivators like them, who were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, were naturally only received and arranged by the Qingyun Sect Disciples.

Only major Core Formation level powers such as Heaven Sword Sect, Luoxia Sect, Yu Ling Sect, Phantom Sound Sect, and Qingluan Immortal City were received and arranged by Qingyun Sect’s managing elders.

However, this ceremony still allowed Lu Changsheng to meet many Family forces here.

Among them, quite a few Family Old Ancestors and stewards invited Lu Changsheng to visit their Family when he had time, saying that their younger generations admired him and so on.

After all, in the entire Jiang Country Cultivation World, Bihu Mountain Lu Family was not much, and many people had not heard of it.

But in the Qingyun Territory, among the various Foundation Establishment Family forces, Bihu Mountain Lu Family still held a certain reputation and weight.

And those who knew its name knew that this Old Ancestor Lu liked beautiful women and loved having children.

In response, everyone was willing to use this method to get acquainted with a Second-Order Talisman Master and Alchemist with boundless prospects.

“What, Qingluan True Person led people into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and returned heavily injured?”

In an elegant small courtyard, Lu Changsheng was drinking tea and chatting with several Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

One of the old men revealed a piece of information that surprised everyone.

After all, this was Qingluan True Person, the Master of Qingluan Immortal City, and the number one Loose Cultivator in Jiang Country!

A few years ago, she even had the astonishing record of fighting three demon kings alone and ultimately slaying one of them.

“This matter is just a rumor, but Qingluan Peak has sent people to prohibit such rumors, which in turn makes the rumor more credible.”

The old man subconsciously lowered his voice.

“I heard that many years ago, there were also rumors of Qingluan True Person being heavily injured and going into seclusion, so this news may not be true.”

“Actually, to see if this news is true, one only needs to pay attention to the situation of Qingluan Immortal City; if the city’s public order deteriorates, it means the news is true.”

“I just went to Qingluan Immortal City not long ago, and there haven’t been any obvious changes yet.”

“If Qingluan True Person is truly heavily injured, Qingluan Immortal City will likely experience considerable turmoil.”

Several people beside them spoke, their words quite emotional.

However, most people didn’t pay too much attention to this news.

After all, Qingyun Territory was so far from Qingluan Immortal City that only a very small number of Family businesses could extend there.

Therefore, even if Qingluan Immortal City changed hands, it would not have much impact on the Family forces present.

After chatting for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, everyone dispersed.

“Hmm?”

Just then, Lu Changsheng sensed a rich surge of spiritual power pouring into his Qi Sea Dantian out of thin air, transforming into drops of liquid spiritual power.

“Is that Qingshan?”

Lu Changsheng immediately guessed that his son, Lu Qingshan, had broken through to Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

After all, apart from his son Lu Quanzhen, who got a boost from his uncle Qu Changge and thus overtook others, his son Lu Qingshan was currently far ahead.

[Name: Lu Qingshan]

[Lifespan: 23/118]

[Talent: 6th Grade Spiritual Root, Geng Metal Body (Medium Grade Spiritual Body)]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Ninth Layer]

[Ability: Sword Dao Affinity (84%)]

“Tsk tsk tsk, at twenty-three years old, he’s already at Qi Refining Ninth Layer; he’ll probably be able to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in another three to five years.”

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly, sighing with admiration.

His son’s Cultivation talent, even within an Immortal Sect, would be considered top-tier.

“And his Sword Dao talent has also increased to 84%.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the ability, his eyes showing a hint of proud achievement.

His son’s original Sword Dao talent, while good, was merely good, barely counting as a Genius.

But now, this Sword Dao talent, calling him a Genius is no exaggeration!

Moreover, the Dharma Seed was only given a little over two years ago.

As time passed, his son’s Sword Dao talent would continue to improve, making him an unparalleled Genius on the path of the Sword Dao!

“Now that my child has broken through to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, the improvement to my Cultivation is also much more significant.”

“I wonder how much improvement Quanzhen or Qingshan breaking through to Foundation Establishment will bring me.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the liquid spiritual power in his Qi Sea Dantian.

When his children first started Qi Refining, it was as if only a few streams of Qi entered his Dantian, not even forming spiritual power.

But now that his child had broken through to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, at least a few drops of liquid spiritual power could form.

This made him very much look forward to his children breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

After all, to live a leisurely Cultivation life, relying on one’s own arduous Cultivation was impossible.

But to rapidly improve his Cultivation, he could only rely on his children to strive hard.

Nine days later.

Qingyun Sect.

On a massive square paved with white jade.

It was filled with Cultivators who had come to offer congratulations and Qingyun Sect Foundation Establishment Disciples.

Only Foundation Establishment Cultivators were allowed to have seats.

Even if they were Qingyun Sect Disciples, if they had not broken through to Foundation Establishment, they could only observe from a distance and could not participate.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Just then, a series of bell chimes rang out.

Above the Void Realm of the square, on various green jade Dao platforms, figures of Cultivators dressed in Qingyun robes appeared.

They were male and female, ranging in age from young to old, covering every stage.

But each one exuded an aura that was profound and unfathomable, like a deep pool or a towering mountain.

“The Core Formation Grand Ceremony, officially begins!”

At the center of the Dao platform, the Sect Leader of Qingyun, clad in a Qingyun Daoist robe and with a dignified countenance, spoke, his voice resounding loudly.

Immediately, bursts of immortal music played, and a rainbow bridge appeared in the sky, like a rainbow, vibrant and dazzling, exquisitely beautiful.

Then, a stunningly beautiful figure slowly emerged on the rainbow bridge.

Her face was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with sword-like eyebrows of dark green, bright eyes like a painting, a delicate nose, and a cool, aloof expression.

Her ink-black hair, which seemed a bit out of place for such a grand occasion, was simply tied into a high ponytail.

Her figure was tall and slender, her shoulders delicate yet appearing strong, and she wore a simple yet luxurious Qingyun-patterned Daoist robe.

On her snow-white back was a pure azure Dharma sword, emanating a hint of coldness, imbuing her entire being with a cool and aloof aura.

In an instant, everyone in the venue turned their gaze towards this woman.

Every gaze showed expressions of surprise, astonishment, admiration, respect, reverence, adoration, and more!

Everyone knew that this woman was the newly promoted Core Formation True Person of Qingyun Sect, Qingyi Immortal Master!

But apart from the Qingyun Sect Disciples, ninety percent of the congratulating Cultivators had never seen Chu Qingyi.

Upon seeing her today, they were immediately struck by her otherworldly beauty!

They never expected this Fairy Qingyi to not only break through to Core Formation at such a young age but also possess such unparalleled immortal beauty!

“We pay our respects to Qingyi Immortal Master! Congratulations to Immortal Master on your promotion to Core Formation!”

“We pay our respects to Qingyi Immortal Master! Congratulations to Immortal Master on your promotion to Core Formation!”

“We pay our respects to Qingyi Immortal Master! Congratulations to Immortal Master on your promotion to Core Formation!”

The crowd in the venue dared not look too long, quickly lowering their heads, bowing, and loudly offering their congratulations.

Lu Changsheng also bowed.

But he subconsciously sniffed his palm, recalling his encounter with her back then.

Facing everyone’s congratulations, Chu Qingyi did not return the courtesy, accepting it calmly.

After all, as a Core Formation cultivator, she was simply nobler than a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

There was a fundamental difference in the essence of their lives!

This difference was even greater than the gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment!

A Qi Refining Cultivator who breaks through to Foundation Establishment can establish a Family and become an Old Ancestor of a region.

But if one breaks through to Core Formation, it is a leap in life, granting a lifespan of five hundred years, and from then on, one can establish a sect, observe the world’s rise and fall, and witness the changing of the tides.

If one establishes a Family, it becomes a prominent Family!

Before long, Chu Qingyi walked from the rainbow bridge into the grand hall at the end of the square.

The Cultivators on the Void Realm Dao platforms also entered the grand hall one after another.

These Cultivators who could enter the hall were either true Disciples of Qingyun Sect, at least False Core or Core Formation True Persons, or individuals of extraordinary status.

“Tsk tsk, now this is a grand ceremony.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the scene before him, feeling quite emotional.

He recalled the Talisman Master Grand Ceremony that Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family had held for him back then.

Comparing the two, his own ceremony didn’t even deserve to be called a grand ceremony; calling it a small celebration would be an exaggeration.

“When I Breakthrough to Nascent Soul later, I can hold a grand ceremony, directly releasing the Nine Nether Mastiff and Sky Demon Phoenix to make an appearance, and perhaps even bring out a few Dao Soldier legions for a parade.”

Lu Changsheng mused in his heart.

As the saying goes, ‘wealth not returned to one’s hometown is like walking in embroidered clothes at night.’

If he reached the Peak of this Cultivation World and had no need for restraint, he could indeed show off a bit.

But Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, forget it; everything must be stable.

“However, Qingyun Sect is quite generous; the food, spiritual fruits, spiritual wine, and spiritual dishes these days are all of a very rare grade.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the wine and dishes on the table and picked up his chopsticks.

At this time, many people began to drink and chat, discussing this Qingyi Immortal Master.

“I heard this Qingyi Immortal Master is not even a hundred years old; it’s simply astonishing.”

“Not only that, I heard Qingyi Immortal Master condensed a Supreme Golden Core!”

“Hiss, a Supreme Golden Core, doesn’t that mean she has the potential to reach Nascent Soul!”

“Alas, here I am, a hundred years old, still lingering in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment…”

“I wonder what kind of Dao Companion this Qingyi Immortal Master will seek in the future.”

“Don’t even think about such a toad wanting to eat swan meat.”

“To be able to Breakthrough to Core Formation at such an age, she must be single-mindedly devoted to Cultivation. I heard Qingyi Immortal Master’s Master, Immortal Master Caiyun, was also like this, breaking through to Core Formation before she was a hundred years old, and now her prestige is immense.”

“A Master and Disciple both achieving Core Formation is also a beautiful story!”

“I heard Immortal Master Caiyun also has another Disciple; although not yet fully grown, he is also exceptionally talented and has the potential to reach Core Formation!”

Many people sighed with emotion, expressing envy and jealousy.

After all, for ninety percent of the people present, Core Formation was an existence they could only dream of.

The ceremony lasted for three days and then concluded, with guests returning to their respective homes.

“I have a few good friends in Qingyun Sect; I’ll go pay them a visit.”

Lu Changsheng did not return with Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, and the others.

He planned to go see Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing.

In the previous days, guests were not allowed to wander freely, so he hadn’t gone to see the two women.

“In that case, Fellow Daoist Lu, we shall return.”

Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, and several other Old Ancestors heard this, and their words revealed envy.

They had naturally heard that Lu Changsheng was acquainted with Fairy Xiyue of Qingyun Sect.

And that he had formed a Dao Companion relationship with a Foundation Establishment Disciple of Qingyun Sect.

Such connections made them incredibly envious.

“Uncle, Fellow Daoists, please take care. You are welcome to visit Bihu Mountain when you have time in the future.”

Lu Changsheng said very politely.

He always adhered to the principle of ‘I don’t offend others unless they offend me,’ and as long as the other party’s attitude was good, he always sought harmony for prosperity.

After all, he was a person with Family as a soft spot; these interpersonal relationships were necessary.

It was impossible to be an isolated wolf like a Loose Cultivator.

He took out the Yin and Yang Communication Talisman and sent a message to Xiao Xiyue.

Not long after, Xiao Xiyue, dressed in a moon-white dress and with a cool, noble countenance, arrived.

“Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue’s eyes showed tenderness and affection.

As they were still in Qingyun Sect, the two did not immediately express their longing upon meeting.

Moreover, Xiao Xiyue stated that she had matters to attend to and was about to go to Falling Cloud Mountain Range with her Senior Sister Chu Qingyi.

“Going to Falling Cloud Mountain Range?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised.

He didn’t expect Xiao Xiyue to be rushing to Falling Cloud Mountain Range again, and so urgently.

“Yes, not long ago, Master and the Immortal Master of Luoxia Sect had a major fight, which resulted in the appearance of a Secret Realm beneath a spiritual ore vein.”

Xiao Xiyue did not hide this, stating it directly.

“A Secret Realm appeared beneath a spiritual ore vein.”

Lu Changsheng was surprised upon hearing this.

He had been very surprised when he first heard this news.

What kind of spiritual ore vein required a Core Formation True Person to personally guard it?

Now, not only was it guarded, but two Core Formation True Persons even fought fiercely, revealing a Secret Realm.

According to some rules in the Cultivation World, the formation of this spiritual ore vein was very likely influenced by this Secret Realm.

This indicated that this Secret Realm was far from simple!

“Xiyue, you must be careful on this trip. This is a Substitute Talisman I drew.”

Lu Changsheng immediately took out a ‘Substitute Talisman’ that he had refined from his Storage Pouch.

He had given Xiao Xiyue ordinary Low Grade Third-Order Talismans before, but not these specially refined Substitute Talismans.

“Understood, Changsheng, I know.”

Xiao Xiyue’s heart warmed, and she took the Talisman from Lu Changsheng.

Then, the two talked for a while, and she bid farewell to Lu Changsheng, telling him to take good care of their daughter Wangshu, and that she would come to Bihu Mountain after she finished her tasks.

“Phew!”

After watching Xiao Xiyue leave, Lu Changsheng waited for a moment until the guilt in his heart slightly lessened before taking out Zhao Qingqing’s Yin and Yang Communication Talisman.

He stayed in Zhao Qingqing’s Baicao Garden for three days before leaving Qingyun Sect and returning to Bihu Mountain.

Bihu Mountain, Xumi Grotto-heaven.

“Husband.”

Xu Ruyin had already come out of seclusion, successfully breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

She had undergone significant changes after breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Her clear eyes had turned crimson, fiery like burning red moons.

These crimson pupils, along with her fiery red hair and naturally red lips, complemented each other, giving her an air of inviolable sanctity and nobility, like a sacred and noble Phoenix.

However, upon closer proximity, it also made one want to extinguish this flame!

“Not bad.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the vibrant and beautiful face before him, gazing at her bright crimson eyes like rubies.

Although he knew that cultivating such a high-grade Cultivation Technique would certainly bring significant changes upon breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

He hadn’t expected Xu Ruyin’s changes to be so obvious.

Not only were her hair strands fiery red, but now her eyes had also turned crimson.

If she continued to Cultivate, would she grow beast ears and a tail?

He led Xu Ruyin into Chang Sheng Hall to thoroughly examine the changes she underwent after breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

He wanted to see if other parts were also as fiery!

Afterward!

Afterward!

Afterward!

“This is a Spirit Sealing Talisman. After you plant it, you can go home.”

Lu Changsheng took out a Talisman he had long since refined and handed it to Xu Ruyin.

Although the other party had made a Heart Demon vow not to reveal the situation of Bihu Mountain and Xumi Grotto-heaven.

He had to be absolutely sure about this matter.

As long as this Spirit Sealing Talisman was planted, if the other party ever revealed anything about Bihu Mountain, the Spirit Sealing Talisman would activate and obliterate her Divine Soul.

“Thank you, Husband.”

Xu Ruyin bit her lip lightly and said softly.

She knew that she still did not have Lu Changsheng’s complete trust.

She obediently dripped her essence blood onto the Spirit Sealing Talisman, actively planting the Talisman on herself.

In an instant, the spiritual Talisman burned, transforming into a speck of light that entered her Sea of Consciousness through her glabella, making her feel a stirring power.

“This is a Third-Order Spiritual Talisman!?”

Xu Ruyin was surprised, knowing that this was definitely not a Second-Order Spiritual Talisman.

However, having witnessed Lu Changsheng’s various methods, she was not surprised by this Third-Order Talisman.

She merely thought that Lu Changsheng could casually produce such a Third-Order Talisman, which made her feel even more awe and fear.

Immediately after, Xu Ruyin went to visit her son Lu Chensha, and the next day, she left Bihu Mountain and returned to Yu Shui Xu Family.

As for the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman, she naturally could not take it with her; it remained in Lu Changsheng’s hands.

After all, Lu Changsheng was at ease letting Xu Ruyin go.

But if he were to let Xu Ruyin and Honglian go together, Lu Changsheng would not be at ease.

Leaving aside other things, the Spirit Sealing Talisman he planted was effective on Xu Ruyin, but it might not be effective on Honglian.

Moreover, having the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman in his hands was also a restriction for Xu Ruyin.

Six months later.

Bihu Mountain.

Lu Family Mansion.

Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Miaoyun waited outside the delivery room.

After many years, Lu Changsheng felt a long-lost sense of anticipation and slight nervousness.

Ling Zixiao had been pregnant for thirteen months, and now the twins in her womb were finally about to be born.

He was both anticipating and nervous about these two children.

He anticipated the birth of these two children and what their Spiritual Root talents would be.

After all, being pregnant for thirteen months meant that this child must be exceptionally talented!

For instance, when Xiao Xiyue was pregnant with Lu Wangshu, it only took eleven months.

But facing this situation, he also felt a little worried and afraid.

What if his daughter inherited Ling Zixiao’s Dragon’s Roar Body?

After all, the Dragon’s Roar Body was truly difficult to resolve, and even now, he couldn’t completely eradicate Ling Zixiao’s Dragon’s Roar Body!

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

Suddenly.

“Wah–”

Two clear and loud cries of infants rang out.

At the same time, at that very instant, an intensely profound and mystical tremor surged throughout his body.

And a System prompt sounded.
