Chapter 456: Lu Wangshu: Destroy your Jinlongling!
On the vast, boundless lake, a glistening, azure lotus seat was swept and drifted by the waves.
One moment it was pulled into the depths of the lake, the next it floated back to the surface.
Occasionally, a Yao Beast would spot the lotus seat, open its maw to bite it, or swallow it whole.
However, not long after, the lotus seat would burst forth with spiritual light, emitting a terrifying Dharma Power Aura that would cause the Yao Beast to bleed.
At this very moment, within the lotus seat.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged wildly, forming a vortex of Spiritual Qi like a funnel, emanating a surging Spiritual Pressure.
“At this rate, it might be difficult to condense a High Grade Golden Core.”
Lu Changsheng circulated the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art to help Chu Qingyi re-Core Formation.
However, he realized that at this rate, it would be very difficult for her to condense a High Grade Golden Core.
Even if she miraculously condensed a High Grade Golden Core, it would at most be a third-grade one.
“Can I directly refine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into Seven Luminaries Dharma Power, and then merge it with her Dharma Power?”
At this moment, a thought arose in Lu Changsheng’s mind.
When he had detoxified Chu Qingyi years ago, the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture and Chu Qingyi’s Cultivation Technique, Dao Foundation, had produced a strange resonance.
This indicated that the two Cultivation Techniques shared similar characteristics and were not mutually exclusive.
Furthermore, the Cultivation Technique he cultivated, the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, had the effect of controlling all methods.
Given this, if he directly refined Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into Seven Luminaries Dharma Power and transferred it into Chu Qingyi’s Qi Sea Dantian, then used the Yin Yang Creation Scripture to coordinate and fuse the two streams of Dharma Power, wouldn’t that greatly enhance the efficiency of Core Formation!?
Although such an idea sounded incredibly absurd.
The more Lu Changsheng thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
After all, when he condensed the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation back then, the Yin and Yang were also unbalanced, but he still managed to perfectly fuse them with Yun Wanchang’s Spiritual Energy.
“Qingyi.”
Immediately, Lu Changsheng expressed his thoughts to Chu Qingyi.
“This…”
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingyi also felt it was a wild fantasy.
Let alone Cultivation Techniques merely having similar characteristics.
Even with the same Cultivation Technique, if cultivated by different people, after Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, the Dharma Power would show differences, making perfect Fusion difficult.
But for some reason, she subconsciously chose to trust Lu Changsheng and agreed to let him proceed.
On one hand, she knew he wouldn’t harm her, and since he said so, he must have confidence.
On the other hand, her emotions were still incredibly complex, and she didn’t know how to face Lu Changsheng and her Junior Sister afterward.
“Alright.”
Chu Qingyi’s face was flushed like the setting sun, and she thought to herself, if it fails, it fails.
That way, she wouldn’t have to face Lu Changsheng, or her Junior Sister…
“Qingyi, don’t worry.”
Lu Changsheng seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and gently stroked her smooth, rosy cheek, saying softly.
Then, he circulated the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, carefully transferring a portion of Seven Luminaries Dharma Power into Chu Qingyi’s Meridians, Qi Sea Dantian.
Although the two streams of Dharma Power shared similar characteristics, they indeed could not fuse.
Especially since Chu Qingyi was currently undergoing Core Formation.
If this Seven Luminaries Dharma Power were to solidify into the nascent Core Formation, it could even lead to a chaotic internal Core Dharma Power, thus causing Core Formation to fail.
“Buzz—”
Lu Changsheng began to circulate the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, attempting to fuse the two streams of Dharma Power.
Under the control and coordination of the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, the Seven Luminaries Dharma Power instantly merged into Chu Qingyi’s nascent Inner Core, integrating smoothly and gradually becoming one.
“This…”
Chu Qingyi’s beautiful eyes, misty and shimmering with a dazed glow, opened wide, looking at Lu Changsheng with a face full of surprise, wanting to know how he managed to do it.
This was too astonishing!
It was simply inconceivable!
“Qingyi, if you feel no discomfort, I shall continue…”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes were gentle as he met Chu Qingyi’s shy, slightly misty beautiful eyes, and he spoke softly.
Chu Qingyi, met with Lu Changsheng’s affectionate gaze, felt her heart tremble, her mind in disarray, her face flustered, and with a shy expression, she turned her head away, closing her eyes tightly, not looking at Lu Changsheng.
“…”
Lu Changsheng was a bit speechless.
He thought to himself, this Qingyi Fairy is too easily embarrassed, isn’t she?
They had been intimate for so long, yet she was still so shy and reserved.
“Qingyi.”
Lu Changsheng reached out and pinched her fair, smooth skin, indicating that if there was no discomfort, no problem, he would continue.
“Mm.”
Chu Qingyi let out a soft hum.
“What does ‘mm’ mean? Is there a problem or not?”
Lu Changsheng asked this.
“…”
Chu Qingyi pursed her lips and remained silent, her beautiful eyes slightly open, looking at Lu Changsheng with some annoyance.
This man clearly looked like a gentleman, yet his actions were utterly rogue.
She was ignoring him, yet he kept chattering, deliberately trying to make her speak to him at such an embarrassing moment.
“No problem.”
Chu Qingyi bit her lip lightly and said in a muffled voice, her voice, usually like a clear mountain spring, seemed to tremble, mixed with a hint of tenderness and charm.
“Good, good, good, Husband knows.”
Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.
He thought to himself, although this Qingyi Fairy is aloof, if she melts, she will definitely be a good wife and loving mother.
He just didn’t know if she liked children.
“…”
Chu Qingyi turned her head away, not responding to his words, feeling that he was becoming increasingly presumptuous.
First, he called her “Qingyi” intimately, and now he was calling himself “Husband.”
Yet, she had only met him twice.
The first time, he was disguised.
But now he was already so familiar.
Chu Qingyi didn’t know how thick-skinned this man was.
Or rather, how many women had he treated this way to be so skilled and natural…
Lu Changsheng didn’t mind Chu Qingyi’s attitude.
After all, they lacked an emotional foundation and needed more communication to develop feelings over time.
However, teasing aside, Lu Changsheng did not neglect the main task.
As the Seven Luminaries Dharma Power flowed into Chu Qingyi’s Qi Sea Dantian, a brilliant sun appeared between his brows, reflecting the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.
“Qingyi!”
He called out, his Divine Soul gradually enveloping Chu Qingyi, attempting to transmit the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture to her through the Fusion of their Divine Souls.
Although she couldn’t Cultivate this Cultivation Technique now.
But since the two Cultivation Techniques shared commonalities, they might be able to intertwine, complement each other, and achieve complete mastery through this Cultivation Technique.
“Buzz—”
Chu Qingyi felt something, and saw a golden Divine Soul enveloping her own Divine Soul.
Then, dense Dao patterns surged into her mind, transforming into profound and mysterious Dao and principles.
“Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture…”
Chu Qingyi looked at this profound and mysterious Cultivation Technique, completely at a loss for words.
Lu Changsheng not only fully saved her life, helped her Core Formation, and exposed various secrets to her.
Now, he was even selflessly bestowing upon her such a Cultivation Technique Legacy.
She truly couldn’t understand why Lu Changsheng was so good to her.
“Love at first sight, perhaps…”
Chu Qingyi thought of Lu Changsheng’s previous words, and a soft spot deep in her heart seemed to be touched, causing her heart to tremble, palpitate, and stir, her soft, watery, dazed beautiful eyes slightly unfocused.
Humans are not plants; how can they be without feelings?
Even though she usually focused solely on cultivation and sword practice, and her emotions were rarely swayed by others.
But at this moment, she was moved by Lu Changsheng’s various actions, which sought no return whatsoever.
However, thinking of Lu Changsheng’s relationship with her Junior Sister, she sighed softly.
Although she wasn’t clear about the exact situation between Lu Changsheng and her Junior Sister.
But the fact that he had cultivated the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art to such a degree indicated that his relationship with her Junior Sister was already extraordinary, and he had even gained her Master’s approval.
Under such circumstances, how could she, as a Senior Sister, interfere with her Junior Sister’s relationship?
Moreover, if Senior Sisters married the same man, what kind of propriety would that be!
It would not only disgrace the Sect’s reputation but also invite criticism from others, and even anger her Master.
Chu Qingyi’s mind was in a mess at this moment.
“Qingyi, properly comprehend the Cultivation Technique, and focus on Core Formation!”
The two were currently fusing their Divine Souls, and Lu Changsheng vaguely caught some of Chu Qingyi’s thoughts, speaking out.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingyi’s heart trembled, and her face was flushed with shyness.
As a Core Formation True Person, she naturally knew that with such Divine Soul communication, both their thoughts could easily be perceived.
Immediately, she held her breath and concentrated, comprehending the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture while simultaneously undergoing Core Formation.
However, being able to do two things at once like this was also because most of the Core Formation steps were handled by Lu Changsheng; she only needed to stabilize the nascent Inner Core.
“What a profound and exquisite Cultivation Technique…”
The Azure Cloud Sword Art that Chu Qingyi cultivated was merely a side-path Cultivation Technique.
It wasn’t that the Qingyun Sect didn’t have orthodox Cultivation Techniques.
Rather, she was born with a Sword Heart, which suited sword Dao Cultivation Techniques.
However, the Qingyun Sect was not a Sword Cultivator Sect, so it did not have top-tier sword Dao Legacies.
Of course, this Azure Cloud Sword Art, being one of the Qingyun Sect’s foundational Cultivation Techniques, was naturally a very top-tier existence.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to resonate with the Qijiao Great Freedom Sword Sutra.
At this moment, various insights from the Qijiao Great Freedom Sword Sutra flooded into her mind, allowing her to gain a lot. She subconsciously circulated this Cultivation Technique, intertwining the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture with the Qingyun Sword Art.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”
A moment later, within Chu Qingyi’s Qi Sea Dantian, and within the nascent Golden Core, the two originally harmonious Dharma Powers formed a profound Qi mechanism.
“Hiss, is this the true value of a Sect Prodigy!?”
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised to see this scene.
Although the two Cultivation Techniques had many similarities,
He had only just passed the Cultivation Technique to her, yet she had already grasped the basics and even managed to intertwine and integrate the Cultivation Techniques. This level of talent was truly astonishing!
Lu Changsheng felt that Chu Qingyi’s Sword Dao talent was in no way inferior to his son Lu Qingshan’s, and in terms of Comprehension Ability, she might even be slightly better.
“Qingyi, you’re amazing.”
Lu Changsheng praised her aloud.
Since the other party could intertwine her Dharma Power and harmonize her Qi mechanism on her own, forming a High Grade Golden Core would be much simpler.
“…”
Hearing the tone that sounded like coaxing a child, Chu Qingyi’s heart trembled, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
In her memory, only when she was young would her Master praise her like this.
But now, she was already grown up…
Moreover, this person was even younger than her, yet he was treating her like a child…
However, she knew that she absolutely could not argue with this scoundrel.
Otherwise, who knew what other embarrassing words he would say.
Chu Qingyi closed her beautiful eyes tightly, her pale cheeks flushed crimson, trying her best to focus wholeheartedly on her Core Formation Breakthrough.
Just as Lu Changsheng was helping Chu Qingyi form her Golden Core,
A piece of news that shook the Jiang Country Cultivation World spread.
Cloud Sword Peak, the Sword Saint Monarch of Heaven Sword Sect, had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Furthermore, when the Tian Yuan Secret Realm opened, the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch of Liang Country’s Heavenly Fiend Sect led people to attack.
As a result, he was ambushed by Xuanjian Zhenjun and the Sword Saint Monarch, his Physical Body was destroyed, and only his Nascent Soul narrowly escaped.
This news was too astonishing.
On one hand, after several hundred years, Heaven Sword Sect had another Nascent Soul True Lord, making Heaven Sword Sect’s position as the overlord of Jiang Country unshakeable.
On the other hand, the two Nascent Soul True Lords of Heaven Sword Sect had almost ambushed and killed a Nascent Soul True Lord.
One must know that at the Nascent Soul level, it was extremely difficult to kill others.
What’s more, this Heavenly Fiend True Monarch was an old-brand Nascent Soul who had been famous for a long time.
Now, his Physical Body was destroyed, and he only managed to escape relying on his Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
“Liang Country and Yue Country have always had friction and clashes. This time, Heavenly Fiend True Monarch came, probably to interfere with and strike at our Jiang Country, thereby launching a Cultivation World war against Yue Country.”
“This Heavenly Fiend True Monarch’s Physical Body was destroyed; it will probably be difficult for him to recover within thirty to fifty years.”
“Not only that, I heard that Heavenly Fiend True Monarch escaped by relying on a secret art, with his Nascent Soul fleeing into the void. It will probably take a hundred years for him to recover.”
“As expected of Xuanjian Zhenjun, who in his early years fought one against two, single-handedly repelling two Nascent Soul True Lords from Jin Country. Now, he and the Sword Saint Monarch almost killed Heavenly Fiend True Monarch.”
“After this battle, it is estimated that Liang Country and Yue Country will be quiet for a long time.”
Although this news was sensational, it only circulated among the upper echelons of the Cultivation World.
Ordinary Loose Cultivators in Qi Refining had no idea about such matters.
However, some rejoiced while others grieved. Besides these two pieces of news that shook the upper echelons of Jiang Country, many Family forces received bad news.
Their own Old Ancestor, or a Core Formation Prodigy, had perished in the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.
“Bihu Mountain Lu Family’s Old Ancestor Lu Changsheng was pursued and killed by a Core Formation True Person in the Tian Yuan Secret Realm and died within the Secret Realm!?”
“Indeed, this is absolutely true. My grand-uncle’s cousin is the Golden Family Old Ancestor of Jinlong Ridge, and this matter has been confirmed by him.”
“I heard that Xuanwu Ridge Sima Family also confirmed that this matter is absolutely true.”
Soon after, a piece of news about Lu Changsheng of Bihu Mountain quickly spread throughout the Qingyun Territory.
This news immediately attracted the attention of numerous Family forces, who came to Bihu Mountain to verify its authenticity.
Facing such a situation, Lu Miaoge was well-prepared and immediately debunked the rumors to the outside world.
She also showed her Husband’s Soul Lantern to some familiar Family Old Ancestors.
The Soul Lantern was not extinguished, indicating that Lu Changsheng was still alive.
On that day, Lu Wangshu came to White Tiger Mountain, found her elder brother Lu Ping’an, and, bringing the Nine Nether Mastiff, headed to Jinlong Ridge.
“Boom!”
Lu Wangshu directly blasted a Third-Order Talisman at the Jin Family’s mountain gate, causing the Jinlong Ridge’s Formation to roar violently and spiritual light to flicker.
“Although my father encountered some unexpected incidents in the Secret Realm, he will return soon.”
“If your Jin Family dares to provoke and spread rumors again, our Bihu Mountain will flatten your Jinlong Ridge.”
Lu Wangshu, in a pink and white dress, with her dark hair swaying, stood elegantly like cold jade under the scorching sun. Her delicate body stood gracefully on the Azure Jade Luan Bird as she spoke coldly.
“Flatten my Jinlong Ridge, what a boastful tone!”
A Jin Family Elder coldly shouted, but he did not come out of the Formation to meet the enemy; he merely operated the Family’s grand Formation.
A few months ago, Lu Family Matriarch Ling Zixiao set up a Formation and, together with Lu Family’s eldest son Lu Ping’an, jointly suppressed the Old Ancestor Sima Tong of Xuanwu Ridge Sima Family.
This Talisman Fairy’s Symbol Array art was probably no less, and perhaps even slightly superior, to that of the Lu Family Matriarch.
With the brother and sister now here, the Jin Family truly wasn’t their match in a direct confrontation.
Even if Old Ancestor Jin Zan were to fight, if he were trapped by a Symbol Array, he might end up suffering the same fate as Old Ancestor Sima.
“If you don’t believe me, you can certainly try.”
Lu Wangshu, with her tall and elegant figure and exquisite features, spoke calmly to Jinlong Ridge, without the slightest pretense.
“Tell Jin Zan, my parents could easily suppress him back then, and today my brother and I can do the same. If he’s not afraid of death, he can come out and try.”
After speaking, Lu Wangshu turned to Lu Ping’an beside her and said, “Let’s go, Big Brother.”
Then, without even glancing at Jinlong Ridge, she rode the Azure Jade Luan Bird and departed with her elder brother Lu Ping’an and the Nine Nether Mastiff.
“Damn it!”
“A junior, how dare she bully our Jin Family like this!”
“This is simply too much!”
The Jin Family Elders looked at the two who left safely, their faces extremely grim.
Lu Wangshu’s actions and words were simply a blatant slap in the face.
By slapping their Jin Family, she was establishing their authority!
“I didn’t expect the Lu Family to be so strong-willed!”
“With Lu Ping’an and Lu Wangshu, even if Lu Changsheng truly perishes outside, it will be difficult to shake Bihu Mountain’s status as a False Core Family.”
“Alas, what virtue and ability does this Lu Changsheng possess to have such a pair of children!”
“Bihu Mountain Lu Family’s Aura has been established!”
After this news spread, many surrounding Family forces exclaimed with emotion.
They knew that unless forces like Xuanwu Ridge Sima Family and Dayuan Mountain Yuan Family completely tore off all pretense with Bihu Mountain and engaged in a full-blown fight,
Otherwise, even without Lu Changsheng, Bihu Mountain’s current strength was not something that ordinary forces could provoke.
And soon after, another piece of news spread.
Golden Family Old Ancestor Jin Zan also suffered severe injuries in the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, which was why he dared not come out to fight.
“I wonder if this Golden Family Old Ancestor is truly severely injured or just pretending.”
“I heard that Old Ancestor Jin did indeed sustain some injuries, but they weren’t too serious.”
“I wonder if the Sima Family will still make a move against Bihu Mountain.”
“The two families’ affairs have not been settled for long. Even if the Sima Family wants to make a move, it’s impossible for them to do so openly.”
“Currently, Bihu Mountain has four Spiritual Lands under its name and has also established a Chamber of Commerce. Relying solely on the brother and sister Lu Ping’an and Lu Wangshu, they might not be able to hold the fort.”
Although Lu Ping’an and Lu Wangshu retaliated strongly, the storm had not yet subsided.
Many Family forces were watching Bihu Mountain’s situation, wanting to see if the Lu Family had the ability to stabilize the current situation.
After all, the reason many families had good relations with the Lu Family before, besides Lu Ping’an’s False Core level combat strength, was also related to Lu Changsheng, the Third-Order Talisman Master.
At the same time, at Heaven Sword Sect.
“Bihu Mountain Lu Family’s eldest son, Lu Ping’an, is a quasi-Third-Order Body Refining at a young age, and together with the Lu Family Matriarch Ling Zixiao, he suppressed the Old Ancestor Sima Tong of Xuanwu Ridge Sima Family…”
A woman of twenty-six or twenty-seven, with narrow eyes, vermilion lips, a delicate and charming face, an heroic spirit, and a high ponytail, heard a piece of news and frowned slightly.
“Bihu Mountain, Lu Ping’an…”
She pursed her vermilion lips, came to the Sect’s Tianwang Tower, took out her identity jade token, and asked, “Do you have detailed information on Bihu Mountain?”
