Chapter 470: Step onto the top of the blue sky and embrace the colorful clouds in your arms!

“When did you achieve Core Formation?” Yun Wanchang asked Lu Changsheng, looking at him.

Under her Aura’s pressure, Lu Changsheng’s performance just now didn’t resemble that of a newly Advanced Core Formation cultivator at all.

If she hadn’t known his approximate Cultivation Realm progress, she would have suspected he had already reached the Middle Stage of Core Formation.

However, she instantly realized that the Golden Core Lu Changsheng formed was not an ordinary one.

It was a First-Grade Immortal Golden Core!

It was precisely because of this that he possessed such strength, allowing him to hand over the Golden Core Opportunity to Chu Qingyi!

At this moment, Yun Wanchang’s heart was stirred with tumultuous waves.

After all, among the Four Great Immortal Sects of Jiang Country, those who formed a Supreme Golden Core were few and far between.

As for the Immortal Golden Core, for hundreds of years, besides herself, Xuanjian Zhenjun, and Sword Saint Monarch, who might have formed it, she had never heard of anyone else claiming to have formed an Immortal Golden Core.

At this very moment, Lu Changsheng, a Loose Cultivator, a Family Cultivator, actually formed a First-Grade Immortal Golden Core—it was simply astonishing!

If this achievement were to spread, it would surely cause a sensation throughout Jiang Country, and even in neighboring countries like Yue and Jin Country.

“Four years ago, Lu obtained an Opportunity and fortunately achieved Core Formation,” Lu Changsheng said calmly.

“Four years ago…” Yun Wanchang recalled that about four or five years ago, while she was nurturing her Golden Core, she suddenly felt a strange stirring—her Tongyu Fengsui Body and Golden Core both surged with an inexplicable tremor.

Now it seemed, this tremor came from Lu Changsheng!

Why would she have such a tremor when he achieved Core Formation?

After a moment of contemplation, Yun Wanchang didn’t dwell on it further and waved her hand at Lu Changsheng, saying, “Alright, you may return.”

“Immortal Master, Lu also has something to say,” Lu Changsheng said in a deep voice, looking at Yun Wanchang, who was dressed in a colorful robe, with a beautiful and peerless face.

“What is it?” Yun Wanchang’s eyes were like water, and her Aura was like a rainbow.

“In the past, Immortal Master said that if Lu could achieve Foundation Establishment in the future, you would give me a chance.” Lu Changsheng took out the jade pendant she had given him years ago and said, “Now that I have achieved Core Formation, I wonder if your words still hold true?”

Actually, he had wanted to ask this for years, but he hadn’t dared to.

Now that he had achieved Core Formation, he had the confidence.

The main reason was that his relationship with Yun Wanchang and her two Disciples was incredibly complicated; in such a situation, if he didn’t take the initiative, he would lose the Opportunity.

Although these words would only infuriate Yun Wanchang.

But facing Yun Wanchang now, he couldn’t play a long game; he had to go straight to the point!

“Lu Changsheng, how dare you!” As Lu Changsheng expected, Yun Wanchang’s eyes immediately filled with an indescribable chill upon hearing his words.

This man had just caused trouble for her two Disciples, and now he was even setting his sights on her!

Did he really think she was easy to bully!?

Facing the terrifying Aura that was like a raging tide, Lu Changsheng’s robes and hair danced wildly, his Nine Treasures Wishful Bone glowed brightly on his chest, and his figure remained tall and slender, unmoving.

Then, with bright, deep, and spirited eyes, he looked at Yun Wanchang and said, word by word, “Immortal Master, I am a very greedy person.”

“One day, I will ascend to the Peak of Qingyun and embrace the colorful clouds!”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Yun Wanchang raised her arm and struck out with a palm, and surging, vast magical power, like an overwhelming force, stirred the winds and clouds of heaven and earth.

“Boom!” Even Lu Changsheng felt his blood and Qi surge at that moment, and his body was sent flying backward.

If Yun Wanchang hadn’t made such a move, he might have even forgotten that this Caiyun Immortal Master was the Hall Master of Qingyun Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, possessing a Late Stage Core Formation Cultivation, a Peak existence in the Jiang Country Cultivation World.

However, Lu Changsheng did not retreat. He stabilized his figure, gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued to grin, “Lu always keeps his word!”

Between his brows, there was both the spirited confidence of a young Prodigy and the arrogant dominance of someone who had long held a high position.

Yun Wanchang looked at Lu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe, with a handsome face, a tall and straight figure, and an air of unrivaled dominance. She remained silent, her expression complex.

If it weren’t for the matters involving her Disciples, Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi, Lu Changsheng in front of her would indeed be a suitable match, worthy of being her Dao Companion.

But, there are no ‘ifs’ in life.

After a moment of silence, she flicked her sleeve, and a massive surge of magical power drove Lu Changsheng down from the Peak, while she herself returned to Caiyun Hall with a rumble.

She knew that unless she killed Lu Changsheng today, he would likely not give up easily.

And Lu Changsheng dared to face her like this because he was certain she wouldn’t truly harm him.

Although Yun Wanchang felt ashamed and angry, she also felt a moment of trance.

The Qi Refining Cultivator who used to look so aggrieved, without realizing it, now dared to face her directly, speaking of a day when he would ascend to the Peak of Qingyun and embrace the colorful clouds.

“Changsheng, are you alright?” At the mountainside, Xiao Xiyue saw Lu Changsheng descend and immediately went forward to ask with concern.

Although the Peak was shrouded and concealed by a Formation, she still sensed a terrifying magical power pressure.

She knew that her Master had made a move against Lu Changsheng.

“I’m fine,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile, holding Xiao Xiyue’s hand.

Although he had been struck by Caiyun Immortal Master, her silence and final actions made him feel great.

He knew that the path he had laid out, she had tacitly accepted.

Next, he would wait for the day he ascended to Qingyun.

“Ascend to Qingyun… At this time, that Caiyun Immortal Master must have already achieved Nascent Soul, right?” Lu Changsheng pondered inwardly.

Others might not be clear, but he knew that Yun Wanchang, by using his Yin-Yang Two Qi to nurture her Golden Core, had very likely Advanced to a First-Grade Golden Core.

In such a situation, as long as no unexpected circumstances arose, she would most likely achieve Nascent Soul!

“It was just some words of mine that angered Immortal Master, Xiyue, you don’t need to worry.” Lu Changsheng smiled, indicating that he had mentioned something about Qingyi Immortal Master, which had displeased Immortal Master.

As for the words about ascending Qingyun and embracing colorful clouds, Lu Changsheng planned to tell Xiao Xiyue later when he had the chance.

Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to bring it up.

“Changsheng, try not to mention Senior Sister’s matters in front of Master in the future. If… if there’s anything you really want to say to Senior Sister, I’ll pass it on for you.” Xiao Xiyue pursed her lips and said softly.

After so many years together, she naturally knew Lu Changsheng’s character.

He seemed not to contend or vie, and to be easygoing in everything, but deep down, he had a strong possessiveness and a sense of male chauvinism.

Now that he had become entangled with her Senior Sister, how could he easily give up?

Although she had a little resentment about this matter in her heart, thinking that Lu Changsheng so easily angered Master, she was still willing to help.

“Let this matter take its natural course,” Lu Changsheng said, shaking his head.

He already felt somewhat guilty towards Xiao Xiyue about this matter; how could he ask her to help him pursue Chu Qingyi?

He immediately changed the subject and asked Xiao Xiyue about exchanging for the Ningjing Pill in the future.

For instance, Foundation Establishment Pills, as long as one was a Qingyun Sect Disciple and met the requirements, could be exchanged with contribution points.

However, for the Ningjing Pill, only True Disciples were qualified to compete.

That’s right, it was merely a competition, not an exchange.

So, even if Xiao Xiyue was a Disciple of Caiyun Immortal Master, she would still need to accumulate contributions, complete Sect trials, and achieve certain accomplishments to qualify for the Ningjing Pill.

“My contributions from the Tian Yuan Secret Realm are already sufficient. Now I’m just waiting for the next batch of Ningjing Pills to be refined, and then I’ll compete,” Xiao Xiyue said softly.

Ningjing Pills were extremely rare, and even Qingyun Sect had limited quotas, requiring multiple people to compete.

However, her Master and Senior Sister were both Core Formation True Persons and held significant influence.

As long as she performed well, she would most likely obtain the Ningjing Pill.

“Good. If you need any help then, you can notify me,” Lu Changsheng said with a slight smile.

Such Sect assessments generally did not allow interference or assistance from Master or Senior Family members.

But if it were a task like hunting demon kings or slaying evil Cultivators, he could certainly lend a hand.

Moreover, the Immortal Sects did not forbid such things.

Because connections were also a part of one’s strength in the Cultivation World.

Lu Changsheng did not stay long at Qingyun Sect. After chatting with Xiao Xiyue for a while, he went to visit his son, Lu Yunlou.

After praising and encouraging him, he gave him 10,000 Spirit Stones and a Third-Order Artifact Refining Legacy.

As for Lu Xingyue, she had returned to Bihu Mountain a few days ago and was not currently at Qingyun Sect.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng went to Lingyao Peak to visit Zhao Qingqing. Seeing that she was fine, he took her back to Bihu Mountain to stay for a while.

“What? Lu Changsheng has achieved Late Stage Foundation Establishment!?”

“Not only has he achieved Late Stage Foundation Establishment, but he also has a Core Formation Immortal Master as a lover!?”

“Before, this Lu Changsheng didn’t know what kind of luck he had, marrying an Alchemist who could refine Foundation Establishment Pills. Now he has another Core Formation Immortal Master; it’s too outrageous!”

“Now that Lu Changsheng has achieved Late Stage Foundation Establishment, relying on his Symbol Array techniques, even a False Core True Person might not be his match!”

“Moreover, he and Lu Miaoge Cultivate a Dual Cultivation Technique. If they combine their strength, they might be unrivaled below Core Formation!”

At the same time, news of Lu Changsheng’s return and his Breakthrough to Late Stage Foundation Establishment spread from the vicinity of Bihu Mountain throughout the entire Qingyun Territory.

Not only were families like Golden Dragon Ridge, Sima Family, and Lingxi Xie Family bewildered, but even Beast Taming Xu Family was somewhat shocked upon hearing this news.

Leaving aside the matter of the Core Formation Immortal Master.

Just Lu Changsheng returning alive from the Tian Yuan Secret Realm was incredibly astonishing!

And Lu Changsheng had even achieved Late Stage Foundation Establishment!

One must know that progressing from Middle Stage Foundation Establishment to Late Stage Foundation Establishment was a significant hurdle!

Lu Changsheng was only eighty-one years old now, yet he had already crossed this hurdle and achieved Late Stage Foundation Establishment, indicating that he had hope of achieving Core Formation in the future!

Especially since Lu Changsheng was a Third-Order Talisman Master, proficient in Symbol Array techniques, and cultivated a Dual Cultivation Technique with Lu Miaoge, such a person could already be regarded as a False Core True Person!

“This Lu Changsheng isn’t really going to achieve Core Formation, is he!?”

“With Lu Changsheng’s identity as a Third-Order Talisman Master, and his Family having a top Alchemist who can refine Foundation Establishment Pills, he will certainly be able to acquire a Third-Order Demonic Core in the future. So even if he can’t achieve Core Formation, he will most likely become a False Core!”

“Lu Changsheng, Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu… I don’t know what Lu Miaoge’s Cultivation Realm is now. I heard that they Cultivate a Dual Cultivation Technique, and their Cultivation Realms complement each other, which is beneficial for Breakthrough. If Lu Miaoge also achieves Late Stage Foundation Establishment, then perhaps only a Core Formation True Person would be a match for them as a couple.”

Many years ago, many people still believed that Lu Changsheng, with his Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, was blessed by heaven to even achieve Foundation Establishment!

But with the rise of Bihu Mountain Lu Family, no one dared to underestimate or belittle Lu Changsheng anymore.

Everyone realized that Lu Changsheng was definitely not just a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root.

He was most likely some kind of Spiritual Body, or a mutated Spiritual Root!

Otherwise, let alone a Low Grade Spiritual Root, even a High Grade Spiritual Root wouldn’t have such a Cultivation speed!

At this moment, all the Family forces felt an even greater apprehension towards Bihu Mountain Lu Family.

Yanyu Market.

Inside the Market Master’s Immortal Cave, two glistening, graceful, snow-white jade bodies pressed close, four beautiful legs intertwined, jade feet arched, willowy waists swaying, and fragrant sweat pouring down.

“Sister…” “Fei’er, huff huff huff…”

Two enchanting women were seen entangled in an embrace.

One voice was delicate and charming, with a hint of joy.

The other, slightly more heroic voice, was hoarse and suppressed.

After a long while, the two stopped, bathed together, and enjoyed the prepared fruits and meals.

After they were done, when they walked out of the Immortal Cave, they arrived in a large hall, where Yanlan was checking the recent affairs of the Cultivation World.

As Market Masters, they paid close attention to all kinds of information in the Cultivation World.

“Hmm, Old Ancestor Lu of Bihu Mountain has returned, and even achieved Late Stage Foundation Establishment!?” At this moment, Yanlan saw a piece of news, her heart skipped a beat, and her expression was surprised.

“Oh?” Yu Fei, standing beside her, looked over with a hint of surprise, then smiled and sighed, “This Old Ancestor Lu’s ability to rise to such a level in just a few decades is indeed extraordinary.”

Her choice to marry Lu Changsheng back then was also based on multiple considerations, and she didn’t feel wronged at all.

Now that Lu Changsheng had returned from the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, she even considered it a good thing.

Although she would be… But she wasn’t averse to such things.

After all, as an ‘older single woman,’ having waited so long, to be able to find Old Ancestor Lu, such a desirable Lang Jun who was superior in all aspects, was already quite good.

Especially in the past six months, the strength and foundation of Bihu Mountain had exceeded all forces’ expectations.

“Fei’er, it’s all my fault, I’m useless,” Yanlan sighed, blaming herself.

If she had achieved Late Stage Foundation Establishment, even the Sima Family wouldn’t dare to easily bully them.

Moreover, she knew that her younger sister wanted to seek a Second-Order Advanced Breakthrough Pill for her.

“Sister, rest assured, Old Ancestor Lu returning alive is also a good thing for our Market,” Yu Fei said with a smile, comforting her sister.

As she spoke, she pressed her against the wall, slipping a slender, long, beautiful leg between her full and strong thighs.

“Fei’er, back to the Immortal Cave…” Yanlan quickly said.

Although she was usually the dignified and authoritative Market Master.

But when faced with her younger sister’s fiery passion, she would reveal another side.

Bihu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng had been busy at Lu for half a month, showing his face a few times, when his wife, Lu Miaoyun, reminded him to make a trip to Yanyu Market.

After all, when Yanyu Market had initially pledged allegiance to Bihu Mountain Lu Family, one of the conditions was that Lu Changsheng would take the Second Market Master of Yanyu Market as a concubine.

At that time, it had been delayed due to the Tian Yuan Secret Realm matter.

Now that he had been back for so long, it was time to go there.

“Alright.” Lu Changsheng silently left Bihu Mountain and headed to Yanyu Market.

This Market Master Yu was a Foundation Establishment female Cultivator who had volunteered herself, so Lu Changsheng planned to treat her well and build a good reputation for himself.

That way, other Loose Cultivator forces would be more willing to consider joining Bihu Mountain in the future.

“Hoo!” Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled.

For the sake of his Family, he had truly sacrificed and given too much!
