Chapter 455: Once again, the Xuanjian Zhenjun

Jade Lake Mountain, Sumeru Cave Heaven.

After Xiao Xiyue arrived at Jade Lake Mountain, she informed Ling Zixiao, Lu Miaoge, and others about the situation in the Tianyuan Secret Realm and Lu Changsheng’s whereabouts.

“What? Changsheng is missing in the Tianyuan Secret Realm?”

“How could this be?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun both looked solemn and full of worry.

“Being chased by a Core Formation cultivator?”

Ling Zixiao, however, furrowed her brows, her expression strange.

Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun might not be clear about Lu Changsheng’s combat strength, always thinking that their husband was gentle and not good at killing.

But she was very clear about her husband’s methods.

In the early Foundation Establishment stage, he used a talisman formation to suppress and kill five Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In the late Foundation Establishment stage, he could easily kill fake Core Formation cultivators and calmly escape when facing a third-order demon king.

Now that he has broken through to Core Formation and condensed an Immortal Golden Core, you say he is being chased by a Core Formation cultivator?

It’s more likely that a Core Formation cultivator is being chased by her husband.

“Yes, but I heard my master say that a sword cultivator appeared in the secret realm and saved my senior sister, so I suspect this Core Formation sword cultivator is Changsheng.”

“It’s just that the situation was urgent at the time, and Changsheng couldn’t reveal his identity, so he took my senior sister and left the secret realm.”

Xiao Xiyue continued, voicing her guess, indicating that the women should not worry too much.

“Core Formation sword cultivator.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, but their beautiful eyes still showed worry.

“Seriously injured…”

However, upon hearing this, Ling Zixiao’s expression became even stranger.

She felt that if this were the case, wouldn’t Lu Changsheng return with another sister?

After all, with her husband’s romantic luck and such a heroic act of saving a beauty, it would be unreasonable for nothing to happen between them.

Moreover, if this Core Formation sword cultivator really was her husband, would he let go of this Fairy Qingyi?

“Fellow Daoist Ling, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Xiyue felt that Ling Zixiao’s gaze towards her was somewhat inexplicable and asked.

“Nothing, my husband didn’t leave behind any soul lamps, soul plaques, or other life-bound items at home.”

Ling Zixiao shook her head and said, “However…”

She respectfully called out to the cave heaven in front of her, “Senior Sumeru, do you know my husband’s situation?”

The Sumeru Tree King is her husband’s contracted spirit beast, and there might be a slight connection between them.

“Master is fine…”

Sumeru spoke.

It did not have a master-servant contract with Lu Changsheng.

But there was still a faint sense between them, knowing that Lu Changsheng was still alive.

“Hoo!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, and Xiao Xiyue nearby all breathed a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, concern breeds confusion.

They had all forgotten about Sumeru’s existence before.

“Thank you, Senior Sumeru.”

Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and the other women said.

Although the Sumeru Tree King was their husband’s spirit pet, as a third-order demon king, they still showed respect.

After Xiao Xiyue learned that Lu Changsheng was fine, she also felt much more at ease. She went to the Changsheng Hall, took Lu Changsheng’s commonly used talisman brush, and prepared to return to report.

However, when she was about to return to report, she thought for a moment and called Lu Miaoge and Lu Qingxuan to go to the Qingyun Sect together.

On one hand, they could use Lu Qingxuan and Lu Changsheng’s bloodline to deduce the general situation.

On the other hand, Lu Changsheng had encountered an accident in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. If he didn’t return for a long time, other family forces might try to probe and provoke them.

Lu Miaoge, the matriarch of the Lu family, going to the Qingyun Sect, Caiyun Peak, was also a signal to the outside world, which could serve as a certain deterrent.

“Miaoyun, when the news from the Tianyuan Secret Realm spreads, my husband’s matter will definitely be spread by those with ulterior motives.”

“Now that the family’s business is just starting to improve, go and inform Lu Yun and Xingyang to make preparations in advance.”

At the same time, Ling Zixiao also spoke to Lu Miaoyun.

“Sister Ling, I know.”

Lu Miaoyun nodded gently.

Although she had a fresh face, like a playful young girl, years of managing the Lu family’s internal affairs had also cultivated an elegant and dignified demeanor.

Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue slowly landed their spirit boat outside the Qingyun Sect’s mountain gate.

“Is this the Qingyun Sect?”

Lu Qingxuan looked at the Qingyun Sect in front of him, where clouds and mist were ethereal, rays of light were diffused, and peaks stood tall, observing with curiosity.

Although Jade Lake Mountain was not far from the Qingyun Sect, he had never been here before.

“Yes.”

Lu Miaoge, with her gentle face and watery temperament, briefly introduced the situation of the Qingyun Sect to her son.

However, she had only been here twice and didn’t know much about the Qingyun Sect.

“Senior Aunt Xiao.”

The disciples at the mountain gate immediately bowed and saluted when they saw Xiao Xiyue.

“Yes.”

Xiao Xiyue, with her cool and noble expression, nodded slightly and led Lu Miaoge and Lu Qingxuan into the Qingyun Sect, arriving at Caiyun Peak.

“Master!”

She came to the front of the palace at the peak and bowed.

“Hmm!?”

Yun Wangchang felt a strange surge in her heart when she saw Lu Miaoge outside.

She thought of how she had cultivated the Maiden Reincarnation Art back then, entered the soul dream realm of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, and in it, with Lu Miaoge…

Although it was just a dream, this experience still had some influence on her.

“Sigh.”

Yun Wangchang was a little flustered.

She felt that if Lu Changsheng really had an accident, something unexpected, she would not only be unable to face Xiao Xiyue but also feel guilty towards the Lu family and Lu Miaoge.

“I hope this little thief is fine…”

Yun Wangchang took a deep breath, cleared her mind, and walked out of the palace.

“Greetings, True Person Caiyun!”

Lu Miaoge immediately led her son to bow and salute.

“Yes.”

Yun Wangchang nodded slightly.

Then she took the talisman brush from Xiao Xiyue, raised her hand slightly, and took Lu Qingxuan to find Elder Du to deduce Lu Changsheng’s situation.

Lu Miaoge looked at the departing True Person Caiyun, and for some reason, she felt that the other party’s figure was somewhat familiar.

But she knew that this was the first time she had seen this True Person Caiyun, and she had never seen her before.

However, the other party’s body and face seemed to be covered by a hazy immortal aura, making it unclear and impossible to see her true appearance.

“What is your name?”

Yun Wangchang looked at Lu Qingxuan, who had perfectly inherited the appearance of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, and felt a bit more closeness in her heart, speaking in a gentle voice.

“Reporting to True Person, my name is Lu Qingxuan.”

Lu Qingxuan looked at Yun Wangchang, who was surrounded by diffused rays of light and exuded an invisible oppressive aura, feeling a bit restrained, but he still bowed respectfully without being humble or arrogant.

“Lu Qingxuan.”

Yun Wangchang nodded slightly and asked, “The Qingyun Sect opens its mountain gate every five years to recruit new disciples. If you are interested, I can directly grant you the status of an inner disciple.”

Although she didn’t know Lu Qingxuan’s talent, she could judge from his cultivation that his spiritual roots were not bad, even excellent.

So if the other party was willing to join the Qingyun Sect, she was also willing to take care of him a bit.

“Thank you for your kindness, True Person. I still need to ask my parents about this matter.”

Lu Qingxuan was a bit overwhelmed by the favor and didn’t give a direct answer.

“Yes.”

Yun Wangchang didn’t say anything more and took Lu Qingxuan to a mountain peak.

After a moment, a purple-robed elder walked out to greet them.

After hearing Yun Wangchang’s intention, he took the talisman brush, took a drop of Lu Qingxuan’s essence blood, and then performed a deduction using hand seals.

“Is this the art of divination…”

Lu Qingxuan looked at the Elder Du in front of him with a serious expression.

The hundred arts of cultivation are vast and profound.

Among them, the art of divination is definitely one of the most mysterious.

It’s just that this kind of inheritance is extremely rare, and there are very few people who can master it. He had only seen related descriptions in books and had never witnessed it before.

After a long time.

“True Person Caiyun, this person’s heavenly secrets are also obscured by a force, making it difficult to deduce his situation.”

Elder Du shook his head and said.

He had spent a lot of energy and spirit deducing Chu Qingyi before.

Now, when deducing Lu Changsheng, he felt a resistance and the heavenly secrets were obscured, so he didn’t continue the deduction.

“Elder Du, you’ve worked hard.”

Yun Wangchang nodded.

This trip to deduce Lu Changsheng’s situation was, on one hand, to see if she could obtain relevant clues and information.

On the other hand, she also wanted to know his situation and whether it was similar to her disciple Chu Qingyi’s.

Now, upon hearing this result, her expression slightly condensed, and she thought, could that Core Formation sword cultivator really be Lu Changsheng?

Otherwise, why would her disciple Chu Qingyi’s heavenly secrets be obscured, and Lu Changsheng’s also be obscured?

Moreover, she had given Lu Changsheng a token sealed with a divine ability years ago.

If the token was activated, she would be able to sense it in the dark.

But she hadn’t sensed the token being activated, which meant that Lu Changsheng most likely hadn’t encountered great danger.

Yun Wangchang didn’t continue to think. She looked at Lu Qingxuan next to her, flicked her jade finger, and placed a jade talisman in front of him, saying, “If you want to join the Qingyun Sect in the future, you can send me a message.”

Now that Lu Changsheng’s whereabouts were unknown, Jade Lake Mountain would likely attract some trouble.

Although she wouldn’t personally intervene in such matters, she was willing to help a bit.

And this jade talisman was an attitude.

If Jade Lake Mountain really encountered any trouble, as long as Lu Qingxuan and Lu Miaoge showed this jade talisman, it would be a deterrent to the outside world.

“This junior thanks True Person!”

Although Lu Qingxuan didn’t know why this Core Formation True Person valued him so much, he was still extremely happy and bowed respectfully.

“Yes.”

After Yun Wangchang took Lu Qingxuan back to Caiyun Peak, she briefly explained the situation to Xiao Xiyue, said she would go to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and then transformed into a rainbow light and left the Qingyun Sect.

“Xiyue, I remember Xingyue and Yunlou are in the Qingyun Sect. If it’s convenient, I’d like to visit them.”

At this time, Lu Miaoge spoke.

As their aunt, now that she had come to the Qingyun Sect, she should naturally go and visit and care for them.

Moreover, her husband had encountered such a thing, and it might reach their ears.

She also wanted to remind them to focus on establishing their foundation and not worry about family matters.

“Okay.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded and took Lu Miaoge to visit them, and then went to see Zhao Qingqing.

“Mother, True Person Caiyun asked me earlier if I was willing to join the Qingyun Sect…”

When Lu Miaoge took Lu Qingxuan away from the Qingyun Sect and returned to Jade Lake Mountain, Lu Qingxuan took out the jade talisman from True Person Caiyun and said this.

“Ah…”

Lu Miaoge was surprised, not expecting her son to be valued by True Person Caiyun.

Although her husband believed that their children didn’t need to join an immortal sect.

But at this moment, her son was actively noticed by a True Person, which still made her a little tempted.

However, thinking of the matters of her son Lu Qingshan and daughter Lu Qingzhu back then, she still calmed down and decided to wait until Lu Changsheng returned.

“Mother, True Person giving this jade talisman to your child also shows concern for our family.”

“Not long ago, Father was listed as an honorary elder at Caiyun Peak, and now he has encountered an accident in the Tianyuan Secret Realm…”

At this moment, Lu Qingxuan pursed his small lips and said softly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoge’s heart trembled. She gently stroked her son’s head with a tender face and whispered, “Xuan’er, don’t worry, your father will be fine, absolutely fine…”

Within the Tianyuan Treasure Imperial Lotus, there were no sun, moon, or stars, and no alternation of day and night.

Lu Changsheng and Chu Qingyi tirelessly engaged in dual cultivation.

They almost forgot the time, forgot themselves, and completely merged into one.

During this process, Chu Qingyi’s condition gradually improved. Her beautiful face was no longer so pale, and it gained some color.

“Fellow Daoist Lu…”

At this moment, Chu Qingyi spoke softly, indicating that her condition was almost stable.

“It’s okay, the Nascent Soul origin is still enough, let’s be more cautious.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the captivating charm of the beauty in front of him and said this.

At first, he was focused on saving her and didn’t really appreciate the peerless charm of this Sword Fairy.

Now that the situation was stable, he naturally had to appreciate it properly.

Chu Qingyi’s face was flushed with shame, her delicate body trembled, and she closed her beautiful eyes.

However, the more she was like this, the more Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but tease her, making her hum through her delicate nose, her expression both shy and annoyed.

One had to say, the usually clear-eyed and heroic Sword Fairy in this shy state was incredibly captivating.

If there was anything missing, it was that there was only one person.

If Xiyue, or even True Person Caiyun, were also here…

“Qingyi, Core Formation is dangerous, you must not be careless in the slightest. We are doing this for healing and Core Formation. In my heart, Fairy is still… pure and undefiled.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the beauty and said gently.

“…”

Chu Qingyi’s eyes, veiled with mist, opened and closed, seeing Lu Changsheng’s gentle and affectionate expression. Her heart was filled with shame, even a little speechless.

You’ve done this to me, and you still say pure and undefiled?

If it was really for healing and Core Formation, what was your hand doing?

However, the usually clear and sharp Sword Fairy was like an ostrich at this moment, only daring to think about it in her heart and not daring to speak much.

After all, this situation was simply too embarrassing.

“Hmm, Qingyi, your complexion is much better. It looks like you can start forming your core after a few more days of treatment.”

“Don’t worry, with me here, you will definitely be able to successfully form your core and condense a high-grade Golden Core.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Fairy in front of him, who was frowning, and continued to speak, reaching out to gently stroke her soft, smooth, and blushing pale face.

Chu Qingyi pursed her lips and didn’t speak, her face as red as the sunset, and she turned her head away, her dark hair disheveled, somewhat shy and annoyed.

Clearly, Lu Changsheng’s words had made her flustered and unable to control herself.

Time passed bit by bit.

Seeing that Chu Qingyi’s condition was almost ready, Lu Changsheng didn’t delay any longer and began to help Chu Qingyi form her core.

After all, if he delayed any longer, if too much of the Nascent Soul origin was refined by him or dissipated during the treatment, he might miss the opportunity to form her core.

“Boom!”

Lu Changsheng circulated the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art to the extreme, causing the Sun Moon Cauldron above his head to slowly merge into Chu Qingyi’s Qi Sea and Dantian.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh–”

At the same time, spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged, pouring into Chu Qingyi’s physical body.

Even though Chu Qingyi was a Core Formation True Person before, and was now re-forming her core after dissolving it, she still had to pass through the three stages of Core Formation.

With Chu Qingyi’s current condition, it was naturally difficult to bear such an infusion of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

But during the dual cultivation before, Lu Changsheng had already transferred the Nascent Soul origin into Chu Qingyi’s meridians and Dantian, as well as the Sun Moon Cauldron.

So he directly repelled this surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, allowing only a small portion to enter Chu Qingyi’s body, and then absorbed the spiritual energy from heaven and earth through himself to help Chu Qingyi refine it.

At the same time, Yun Wangchang arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

After stating her purpose, she was invited to a large hall to wait.

Yun Wangchang took out Chu Qingyi’s soul lamp from her embrace and glanced at it.

She saw that the soul lamp, which was originally dim and like a candle in the wind, had become much brighter.

It was just that the soul flame was still flickering, indicating that Chu Qingyi’s condition was still unstable.

“Is Qingyi out of danger?”

Yun Wangchang looked at the soul lamp in her hand, her expression joyful.

“Fellow Daoist Caiyun.”

After a moment, a man of average height and build, with an ordinary yet handsome and masculine face, carrying a hint of feminine softness, walked in.

He wore a loose, snow-white long robe and carried a simple green long sword at his waist, giving people a feeling of being as pure as jade and unstained by dust.

But as soon as he entered the hall, Yun Wangchang felt the entire hall enveloped by an invisible powerful aura.

“Greetings, True Monarch!”

Yun Wangchang bowed and saluted.

Even though the four major immortal sects were connected, she was the master of a peak in the Qingyun Sect and had a late Core Formation cultivation, but in front of this Nascent Soul True Monarch, she dared not show the slightest disrespect.

“I already know the purpose of your visit, Fellow Daoist. Did you bring your disciple’s soul lamp?”

True Monarch Xuanjian’s voice was calm and gentle, without the slightest sharpness of a sword cultivator.

Yun Wangchang handed the soul lamp in her embrace to True Monarch Xuanjian.

True Monarch Xuanjian took the soul lamp and performed a deduction with his hand. His ordinary yet handsome face at this moment was sometimes calm and indifferent, sometimes steady and solemn, sometimes radiant and spirited, and sometimes majestic and sharp…

After a moment, his expression was calm, and a faint smile played on his lips, saying, “Fellow Daoist Caiyun, your disciple was indeed facing a great misfortune before.”

“But fortune lies within misfortune, and misfortune is where fortune rests. If she can overcome this calamity and turn danger into safety, it will be a great auspicious sign.”

“Now your disciple has passed the most dangerous situation. Whether it will be auspicious or inauspicious next depends on her own fortune. If we interfere, I’m afraid it will affect her situation.”

True Monarch Xuanjian spoke, saying this.

“Thank you, True Monarch!”

Upon hearing this, Yun Wangchang felt a little relieved.

Although the art of divination is not absolutely accurate and only provides vague information.

But since True Monarch Xuanjian said so, it is best not to interfere.

Otherwise, it is easy to interfere with fate and derive variables, leading to an accident for Chu Qingyi.

“Fellow Daoist Caiyun, you are welcome. If you hadn’t discovered the Tianyuan Secret Realm, Juejian would not have been able to successfully break through to Nascent Soul.”

True Monarch Xuanjian said calmly.
