Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 452: I fell in love with the fairy at first sight!
As Lu Changsheng entered the Tianyuan Treasure Sovereign Lotus, a surge of rich spiritual energy rushed towards him, almost liquefied, invigorating his mind.
However, apart from the dense spiritual energy, this blessed land didn’t seem particularly special. It resembled the Sumeru Blessed Land, with a hazy gray expanse between heaven and earth.
Ahead, a grand hall stood tall.
It was constructed from what seemed like gold, iron, and white jade, radiating a crystalline, bright luster, both ancient and majestic.
Yet, silence pervaded the area, creating an overwhelming sense of desolation.
Lu Changsheng, holding Chu Qingyi, briefly surveyed the blessed land before him and calmly stated, “Since Senior has summoned me, why not reveal yourself?”
As his words faded, the dense, mist-like spiritual energy before him slowly churned, and a faint, almost invisible figure gradually materialized.
“Hmm!?”
Upon seeing the figure, Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes narrowed with vigilance.
The figure bore a striking resemblance to the red-haired figure outside, adorned with a jade crown and a white Qilin flowing cloud robe.
However, his aura was peaceful, his features handsome, like a scholarly swordsman lamenting the hardships of the people, and he lacked the unsettling red hair.
“A promising young man indeed. I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would encounter such a fated individual as yourself.”
After appearing, the remnant soul gazed at Lu Changsheng with sorrowful eyes, sighing with emotion.
Even as a mere remnant soul, unable to fully comprehend Lu Changsheng, he had gleaned some insight into his depth during the battle between Lu Changsheng and Nangong Mili through the subtle connection between the Tianyuan Treasure Lotus.
“May I ask why Senior summoned Lu to this place?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the remnant soul before him and spoke in a deep voice.
Despite the other party mentioning a legacy and opportunity, he didn’t believe in such pie-in-the-sky scenarios.
He believed that there was definitely a purpose behind the summons.
“Rest assured, I harbor no ill intentions.”
“Moreover, after so many years, the origin of my primordial spirit has long decayed and been exhausted. I am now merely a wisp of obsession residing within the Tianyuan Treasure Sovereign Lotus, incapable of seizing another’s body.”
The remnant soul noticed Lu Changsheng’s deep wariness and vigilance and spoke softly.
“Senior is too kind.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t lower his guard simply because of those words.
What the other party said might be true.
However, although the other party was far more faded than the Red Lotus of that year, the pressure he exerted was no less, and perhaps even greater.
Facing such an existence, how could he not be cautious!
Seeing that Lu Changsheng remained vigilant, the remnant soul didn’t mind and continued, “There are two reasons for summoning you here. Firstly, it is due to fate.”
“My primordial spirit’s origin is now depleted. The fact that I can transmit my voice to you relies on the Tianyuan Treasure King Lotus within your body. Furthermore, you have cultivated the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art, indicating a connection to me. Therefore, I hope you can inherit my legacy.”
The remnant soul declared.
“Senior, I already have a legacy, so I cannot inherit Senior’s mantle.”
“However, I can find a few satisfactory successors for Senior, ensuring that Senior’s reputation is not tarnished.”
Lu Changsheng glanced at Chu Qingyi, who was pale, bloodless, and unconscious in his arms, and spoke in a deep voice.
As he spoke, the Great Dao Golden Core within his Qi Sea Dantian bloomed with radiant light, and a surge of majestic, astonishing Yin-Yang mana erupted from his body.
“Boom boom boom—”
This mana intertwined and flowed around Lu Changsheng, forming a Yin-Yang Dao Diagram, as if depicting the myriad things of heaven and earth, accompanied by the subtle sounds of the Great Dao.
“This…”
The remnant soul looked at the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram above Lu Changsheng’s head, and a hint of shock appeared on his calm, faded face.
Even as a mere remnant soul, he could sense a profound aura of the Great Dao flowing from it.
“A promising young man indeed. I never imagined that you would possess such a powerful cultivation technique. I was presumptuous…”
The remnant soul said with emotion.
Even though he was very proud of his own cultivation technique, he knew that given Lu Changsheng’s situation, he wouldn’t be interested in his legacy.
Moreover, his cultivation technique was profound and obscure, making it difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, so he didn’t mind if Lu Changsheng learned it.
“Since that’s the case, then as you said, please find a successor for me.”
The remnant soul spoke.
As he spoke, he lightly raised his hand, and a crystalline jade slip appeared out of thin air, landing in front of Lu Changsheng.
“This contains all of my cultivation techniques. If you are interested, you can also read and cultivate them.”
In his view, Lu Changsheng was cultivating a top-tier technique like the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture, so there was no need to covet his own techniques.
Furthermore, his own techniques were mysterious and obscure, making it difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, so he didn’t mind if Lu Changsheng learned them.
“Senior, rest assured.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes shimmered with golden light as he carefully accepted the jade slip.
He hadn’t expected the other party to directly give him the cultivation legacy.
He cautiously looked at the jade slip.
Tianyuan Scripture, Tianyuan Sword Art, Nirvana Golden Body…
There were many techniques within, and the Tianyuan Scripture was likely a compilation of techniques summarized by the other party.
Apart from the core techniques, there were also many techniques, secret methods, and cultivation insights.
Although the Tianyuan Sword Art and the Tianyuan Scripture differed by only one word, they were not a matching set of techniques, and should be a sword art created by Tianyuan True Monarch himself.
Before Lu Changsheng could look further, the remnant soul continued, “The second reason for summoning you here is to ask for a favor.”
His calm voice trembled slightly, carrying a profound and desolate sense of vicissitudes.
“Ask for a favor!?”
Lu Changsheng frowned upon hearing this.
For an existence of that level to use the word ‘ask’, it indicated that the matter was not simple.
But looking at Chu Qingyi, who looked beautiful and miserable in his arms, Lu Changsheng still earnestly said, “Senior, please speak. If it is within my power, I will try my best to fulfill it, but I cannot guarantee that I will succeed.”
“Your answer is enough, after all, this matter is just a fantasy that I hold in my heart.”
The remnant soul’s eyes were filled with sorrow as he sighed, “I hope that in your lifetime, you can find a sword.”
“Find a sword?”
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, finding the request somewhat inexplicable.
The remnant soul didn’t explain and asked, “Do you know about the Innate Sword Spirit Body?”
“I haven’t heard of it?”
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
There were many types of spiritual bodies in the cultivation world, and even Nascent Soul True Monarchs couldn’t claim to know them all.
“The Innate Sword Spirit Body is an extremely rare physique that can cultivate not only the physical body, but also the soul as a sword, and even cultivate all things in heaven and earth as a sword.”
“Once the spiritual body reaches completion, it can even transform into an Innate Sword Spirit!”
The remnant soul’s voice became heavier as he said, “My daughter possesses the Innate Sword Spirit Body. When I attempted to break through to the Transformation God realm, the three tribulations of heaven, earth, and man arrived simultaneously, not only causing my breakthrough to fail and my body to perish, but also bringing disaster to my wife and daughter.”
“Among them, some came for my daughter’s Innate Sword Spirit Body, wanting to use her as a sword spirit to refine a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!”
The remnant soul’s voice was heavy with sorrow and intense killing intent.
In his time, he had dominated the Southern Wilderness and was known as having the qualifications to become a Transformation God, and everyone believed that he would likely break through to the Transformation God realm.
As a result, when he attempted to break through to the Transformation God realm, not only did he perish, but he also brought disaster to his wife and daughter.
Leading to his wife’s death and his daughter possibly being refined into a sword.
“Use as a sword spirit, to refine a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure…”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Although spiritual bodies had many benefits for cultivation, they were also prone to attracting trouble.
Just like his daughter Lu Wangshu’s Blood Talisman Spiritual Body.
When they went out earlier, she was spotted by a demonic cultivator who wanted to sacrifice her to a talisman.
Therefore, as a father, he could understand the other party’s anger.
Lu Changsheng pondered slightly and said, “Senior, I am only at the Golden Core stage now, and I don’t even have the qualifications to come into contact with this level. In the future…”
But before he could finish speaking, the remnant soul directly said, “I understand. This request is just a thought, an obsession in my heart.”
“I only hope that if you have the ability in the future, you can try to find it.”
“If you find this sword, then rescue my daughter. If not, you don’t need to worry about it…”
The remnant soul sighed faintly.
He knew that thousands of years had passed since his death, and the outside world had long undergone drastic changes. To find a sword was simply a fantasy.
Moreover, it was uncertain whether his daughter had been refined into a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.
“Alright, if there is such a day, Lu will be willing to find the sword you mentioned and rescue your daughter from it.”
Lu Changsheng solemnly replied.
After speaking, he asked, “Does this sword have a name?”
“If this sword exists in the world, it may be called… Heavenly Edict!”
The remnant soul saw that Lu Changsheng’s words were sincere and took the initiative to ask, saying with some relief.
“I, Xuan Tianyuan, never owe others, nor will I let you make this promise in vain. Do you want to save this woman?”
Tianyuan True Monarch looked at Chu Qingyi and spoke.
He didn’t have Lu Changsheng make a Dao Heart oath or anything.
In his view, Lu Changsheng was extremely talented and possessed an unparalleled legacy.
Such people had their own pride and integrity.
Once they agreed, they would not go back on their word.
Moreover, for a top-tier powerhouse with the potential to transform into a Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation cultivator in the future, being perfunctory would be a flaw in their state of mind.
“Indeed, does Senior have any methods?”
Lu Changsheng said immediately.
“This woman’s meridians and bones are shattered, and her True Core is damaged, making it difficult to save her.”
“However, since Little Friend, you cultivate the ‘Sun Moon Reincarnation Art,’ I have a secret technique that can allow you to extend her life through the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art.”
True Lord Tianyuan sized up Chu Qingyi in Lu Changsheng’s arms and said this.
“Sun Moon Reincarnation Art!?”
Lu Changsheng was taken aback when he heard this.
Damn it, is that the method you’re talking about?
If it were through this method, why would this Lu need anyone’s help!
With the help of the ‘Yin-Yang Nirvana Method,’ ‘Life-Saving Technique,’ and the healing divine light of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, as long as there’s a breath left, this Lu can save her!
However, hearing True Lord Tianyuan’s words indicating that Chu Qingyi’s True Core was damaged, Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked Chu Qingyi’s condition with his divine sense.
He immediately saw that in her Qi Sea Dantian, above her Dao Foundation, a True Core exuding the charm of a Golden Core was dim and lusterless, with several cracks on it, causing its origin to dissipate.
Before, in the urgent situation, he hadn’t noticed that Chu Qingyi’s condition was so serious.
Doesn’t this mean that even if Chu Qingyi is saved, she will still face the problem of a damaged Dao Foundation, unable to improve in the future?
“No.”
At this moment, Chu Qingyi in Lu Changsheng’s arms suddenly had violent emotional fluctuations, and said weakly: “Absolutely not, I’d rather die… cough cough cough…”
But before she could finish speaking, she coughed up blood violently.
She had almost fainted before.
But after arriving in the Tianyuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, under the nourishment of the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth and Lu Changsheng’s mana, she gradually regained some consciousness.
As a result, as soon as she woke up, she heard about healing with the ‘Sun Moon Reincarnation Art.’
She naturally knew about this cultivation technique.
She and her master Yun W裳 discovered it together, knowing that it was a dual cultivation technique.
She couldn’t accept letting a stranger save herself in this way.
However, she was now wondering who Lu Changsheng was and why he wanted to save her like this.
When Lu Changsheng saved her for the first time, she was somewhat familiar with the aura of that mana, definitely not the mana that was now nourishing her body!
“Senior, is this the only method? Is there a way to restore her foundation?”
Lu Changsheng ignored Chu Qingyi’s attitude, gently patted her pink back, and asked True Lord Tianyuan.
If this was the only method, he wouldn’t need to seek help from the other party; he could directly save her himself.
Although this process was a bit inappropriate, ruining her innocence.
But after all, she was Senior Sister Xiao Xiyue’s senior sister and Yun W裳’s disciple, so he couldn’t just stand by and watch her die, right?
Hmm? Why do these two relationships make it feel a bit more exciting!?
No, this is the heart of a doctor, seeing the patient in such a serious condition, my emotions are agitated.
“He’s quite a gentleman.”
Hearing this, Chu Qingyi, lying in Lu Changsheng’s arms, trembled her eyes slightly, her thick and slender eyelashes were like two small cattail fans, gently stirring.
She was now extremely weak, unable to move even a finger.
If Lu Changsheng really wanted to save her through this method, she really had no way to refuse.
“If Little Friend wants to restore her foundation, this old man also has a method, but it’s very dangerous.”
True Lord Tianyuan pondered slightly.
“Senior, please speak.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself that he deserved to be a Nascent Soul True Lord, his methods and knowledge were indeed vast.
“The Little Friend’s Golden Core should be a First-Grade Golden Core, right?”
True Lord Tianyuan sized up Lu Changsheng and asked aloud.
“That’s right!”
Lu Changsheng nodded in response, without explaining anything about the Great Dao Golden Core.
“First-Grade Golden Core!?”
Hearing this conversation, Chu Qingyi’s almost blurred consciousness was shocked.
Golden Core has nine grades.
More than 90% of cultivators have no chance of obtaining a High-Grade Golden Core.
And a First-Grade Golden Core is the highest achievement of Golden Core formation!
Even in the entire Jiang Country cultivation world, or even the Southern Wilderness cultivation world, they are rare existences.
The Lu Changsheng in front of her actually condensed a First-Grade Golden Core!
At this moment, Chu Qingyi became more and more curious about who Lu Changsheng was.
Why did the other party care about her so much, want to save her, and also know the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art.
“Since Little Friend has a First-Grade Golden Core, then this method has a better chance of success.”
True Lord Tianyuan nodded slightly and said, “Now, this old man doesn’t have much time left. In addition to the inheritance of the cultivation technique, the last gift for Little Friend is this Tianyuan Treasure Emperor Lotus.”
“This lotus originally housed my second Nascent Soul. When I was attacking the Divine Transformation stage, I also received the baptism of the Divine Transformation origin. It was only one step away from being promoted to the Tianyuan Dao Lotus!”
“It is also for this reason that this wisp of my remnant soul has been able to survive until now!”
“Now that the Nascent Soul has dissipated, there is still some Nascent Soul origin remaining, which can be used to transmit power and baptize Little Friend. During this process, Little Friend can use the Core Dissolution Secret Technique to dissolve this woman’s True Core and use it to repair her physical meridians.”
“Then, you can use the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art to help her reform her Core. If successful, it will not only repair her meridian injuries, but also allow her Golden Core formation to take a step further, forming a Golden Core.”
True Lord Tianyuan said, his voice neither hurried nor slow.
“Core Dissolution Secret Technique!?”
Lu Changsheng naturally knew about this secret technique.
Some Fake Core True Men, or Low-Grade Mixed Cores, who obtain great opportunities and have full confidence that they will not die after dissolving their Core and reforming it, can use this secret technique to break through and then establish themselves.
However, during this process, the better the quality of the Golden Core, the greater the danger!
Like a Fake Core True Man dissolving his inner core, the mortality rate is only 30% to 50%.
But if a Low-Grade Golden Core wants to dissolve his own Golden Core, the mortality rate may be 70% to 80%.
And Chu Qingyi is a half-step Golden Core. Wanting to dissolve her Core is no exaggeration to say that it is a 90% chance of death.
Moreover, in her current situation, she only has one breath left.
I’m afraid that before the Core is completely dissolved, she will die directly.
True Lord Tianyuan shook his head slightly, seeing Lu Changsheng being so indecisive, and said: “No destruction, no construction; break through and then establish.”
“This woman’s current situation is either to maintain her vitality through the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art, as mentioned earlier, or to break through and then establish.”
“With this old man’s Nascent Soul origin, as well as the spiritual medicine in the medicine garden, and with the help of Little Friend’s First-Grade Golden Core to help her form her Core, there should be a 30% probability.”
True Lord Tianyuan said so.
After speaking, he didn’t make a sound, giving Lu Changsheng time to think.
“Fairy Qingyi, you should have heard what this senior said, right?”
After Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, he looked at Chu Qingyi in his arms and let her make her own decision.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist… No need to save me…”
Chu Qingyi’s pale and bloodless lips moved slightly, and she said weakly.
“No, you must choose one of the two. If you don’t make a decision, I will make the decision directly.”
Lu Changsheng said directly, his voice with an unquestionable tone.
“No… cough cough cough…”
Chu Qingyi wanted to refuse, but she was too weak now, unable to speak at all, her vitality completely relying on Lu Changsheng’s mana to stabilize.
“I know that even if the fairy dies, she doesn’t want her body to be defiled, but this Lu is infatuated with the fairy at first sight, and really can’t bear to see the fairy die like this.”
Lu Changsheng sighed, his voice low.
Hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, Chu Qingyi’s pale face suddenly flushed slightly.
This person was actually infatuated with her at first sight, that’s why he saved her like this…
“Since this is the case, this Lu will choose the second method for the fairy, and leave everything to fate!”
“If it fails, the fairy doesn’t need to worry. If it succeeds, this Lu will be responsible for the fairy. As long as the fairy is willing, I will go to the Qingyun Sect and propose marriage to True Person Caiyun!”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and continued to say.
True Lord Tianyuan said there was only a 30% probability.
But in his opinion, it should be higher.
If it really doesn’t work, then take a step back and rely on his superb medical skills to stabilize Chu Qingyi’s last breath, and then think of a way.
After speaking, he looked at True Lord Tianyuan without waiting for Chu Qingyi to speak, and continued to say: “Senior, I will follow your method.”
“By the way, Senior, the red-haired figure just now is chasing towards here. Will it have any impact?”
“And the secret realm is collapsing. If the entire secret realm collapses, will we be affected?”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of the situation outside and asked aloud.
Chu Qingyi’s situation is dangerous now. If she can be treated in this cave, it would naturally be best.
But if the collapse of the secret realm will affect them, it will be a bit troublesome.
