Chapter 482: Xianlian Sect, Kunpeng Swallowing the Sky Demonic Art!
Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
On a cliff, Lu Changsheng and his daughter Nangong Yaoyao sat on a dark golden tiger skin rug.
In front of them was a large Cauldron, filled with shimmering light and flowing purple Qi, emitting a rich fragrance.
This was the meat of a third-tier Yao Beast—a Purple Flame Kui Niu. Each piece of meat glowed with a crystalline luster.
Additionally, there was a pile of Spirit Medicine and Heaven And Earth Treasure in the pot.
This was no longer just Spirit Cuisine.
It was entirely an Alchemy furnace brewing a peerless treasure medicine!
The medicinal aroma wafted, and a single whiff would make an ordinary person feel refreshed and full of vitality.
Lu Changsheng had concocted this himself, combining his Spirit Chef and Alchemy skills with the medicinal bath method that Honglian had taught him in his early years.
To put it plainly, it was about simmering various Heaven And Earth Treasure and Yao Beast flesh and blood, with the main and auxiliary ingredients, into a medicinal meal, and then adjusting the flavor through cooking skills.
However, if other third-tier Spirit Chefs or medicinal meal Masters saw this, they would surely curse it as a waste of Heaven And Earth Treasure.
After all, third-tier Yao Beast flesh and blood were rare and hard to come by, yet Lu Changsheng had stewed them all together like this.
“Alright, it’s ready to eat.”
Lu Changsheng flicked his fingers, slightly retracting the Lei Gang Dragon Flame beneath the Cauldron, and smiled at his daughter.
“Mmm!”
Nangong Yaoyao had long been impatient. She held her jade bowl, picked up a piece of beef, and put it into her mouth, completely disregarding her lady-like image.
At first, she was still reserved and very elegant.
But after spending a long time with her father, Lu Changsheng, she knew he was an uninhibited person. Since they were living in the wild, there was no need to fuss over so many formalities.
“Daddy, it’s so delicious!”
Nangong Yaoyao looked at her handsome father, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and said with a look of intoxication.
This was not an exaggeration.
Third-tier Yao Beast meat was inherently a top-grade ingredient.
And Lu Changsheng only selected the essence, making the meat incredibly tender and translucent, full of majestic vitality. As soon as she swallowed it, a rich medicinal power surged within her body.
These past few days, she had been eating and drinking well with her father, feeling that her cultivation Foundation had improved significantly. If she wished, she could Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment fifth layer at any time.
“If it’s delicious, eat more.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile, serving himself a bowl of soup to taste.
The effect of this medicinal meal was no weaker than second-tier Medicinal Pill, and could even be compared to some third-tier Medicinal Pill.
If consumed long-term, it would not only increase cultivation but also cleanse the marrow, purify the body, and solidify the Physical Body Foundation.
So Lu Changsheng also planned to make a few more meals like this when he returned home.
However, this kind of medicinal meal required at least Foundation Establishment cultivation to consume.
Ordinary people or Qi Refining Cultivator might experience symptoms of over-nourishment and difficulty digesting if they ate even a little.
“Mmm-hmm!”
Nangong Yaoyao ate with her mouth full of oil, her face flushed, and her body glowed with a crystalline light, as if bathed in a divine aura.
After she had eaten her fill, Nangong Yaoyao’s flawless and pure body suddenly burst forth with a radiant glow, emitting an intoxicating fragrance.
Lu Changsheng could tell that his daughter’s cultivation Realm was about to Breakthrough on its own.
She had been eating and drinking these past few days, accumulating immense medicinal power, so it was normal for her Realm to Breakthrough on its own now.
“Daddy.”
Nangong Yaoyao called out to Lu Changsheng, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and sat cross-legged.
She had been able to Breakthrough for a long time, but had been suppressing her cultivation Realm.
Now that she had reached her limit, she no longer suppressed it.
“Breakthrough with peace of mind.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile, letting the Golden Winged Roc hover above to prevent anyone or any Yao Beast from disturbing them.
“Boom—”
After an unknown period, Nangong Yaoyao’s body shone brightly, and a surge of powerful magical power emanated from her Qi Sea Dantian, her cultivation breaking through from Foundation Establishment fourth layer to Foundation Establishment fifth layer.
“Nangong Yaoyao, congratulations on your cultivation advancing further.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter and said with a smile.
“Hehe, it’s all because Daddy fed me so well!”
The young girl’s delicate face, so fair it seemed it could be broken by a mere touch, was tinged with a faint blush. She blinked her big eyes and said playfully.
“Haha.”
Lu Changsheng knew his daughter had long been at the Peak of the fourth layer, and he had merely accelerated this step.
“Daddy, Mommy seems to be back.”
At this moment, a jade token appeared in Nangong Yaoyao’s hand, and she said to Lu Changsheng.
Besides normal communication talismans, she and her mother also had an induction jade token, which could be used to confirm each other’s situation.
The induction from this jade token now indicated that her mother should be back, or was reporting her safety to her.
“Oh?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, thinking that Nangong Mili had returned sooner than he expected.
“It’s alright, I left a message for your mother, so there’s no need to worry.”
“If you want to go back earlier, we can start our return journey now.”
Lu Changsheng could imagine Nangong Mili’s anxious expression at this moment.
Although he wanted to tease her, he had no intention of deliberately delaying their return or directly taking his daughter back to Jiang Country.
On one hand, when mother and daughter met, his daughter would eventually realize that his relationship with her mother was not that good.
So there was no need to do such a thing to affect his daughter’s image of him.
On the other hand, his daughter’s feelings for her mother, Nangong Mili, were deeper, and it was impossible for her to abandon her mother and return with him.
Moreover, through their time together, Lu Changsheng knew that this daughter, who seemed innocent and lovely, was actually intelligent and had her own opinions.
If he were to explain the detailed situation of his Family, unless Nangong Mili was willing to go to Bihu Mountain, she would most likely not be willing to go to Bihu Mountain.
But how could Nangong Mili be willing to come to Bihu Mountain?
Furthermore, her personality was incompatible with Bihu Mountain.
Even if Nangong Mili was willing to come to Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng himself would be a bit uneasy, worried about causing trouble for his Family.
However, seeing that his daughter was doing well here, Lu Changsheng’s desire to take her back was not as strong, and he felt it was better to let nature take its course.
Anyway, now that he had the Golden Winged Roc, it was convenient for him to come and see them, mother and daughter.
“Mmm-hmm, Nangong Yaoyao is not in a hurry, I’ll follow Daddy’s arrangements.”
The young girl, unaware of her mother’s extreme anxiety at the moment, said obediently and sweetly.
“Since that’s the case, let’s wander back, or you can see if there’s anywhere else you want to go.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
At this moment.
Nangong Mili learned about her daughter’s situation with Lu Changsheng these past few days from Meng Xiaochun, and she was utterly furious.
She thought to herself, this scoundrel of a man truly had a belly full of evil intentions. She had actually thought he had changed his ways.
“There’s not a single truthful word from that scoundrel’s mouth!”
Nangong Mili gnashed her teeth and cursed.
Meng Xiaochun, who was beside her, saw her Master’s angry expression and, for some reason, heard a hint of a marital dispute in her words.
“Xiao Chan, when Nangong Yaoyao returns, notify me immediately. I’ll return to the Sect for a while.”
Seeing that her daughter was not there, Nangong Mili did not linger. She prepared to return to the Five Poison Sect first to deal with Feng Wu Shi’s matter.
Moreover, her trip was an external mission, and now that she had returned, she needed to report back immediately.
“Yes, Master.”
Meng Xiaochun responded earnestly.
After Nangong Mili returned to the Five Poison Sect, she went to the Five Saints Hall to pay her respects.
After a long while, the hall doors opened with a rumble.
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
Nangong Mili, in a purple gauze dress, walked gracefully into the main hall.
Looking at the female child on the dais, who wore a silver crown and hairpin, a luxurious purple-red brocade robe, and was barefoot, seemingly only seven or eight years old, she immediately bowed in greeting.
“Heavenly Spider Envoy, you have returned. Regarding the matter of Jiang Country and the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, I am already aware. Did you have any gains in the Secret Realm?”
Although the female child’s voice was tender and clear, it revealed a majestic and ancient aura that did not match her age and appearance.
“Reporting to the Sect Leader—”
Nangong Mili spoke, recounting what she had seen in the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.
As for how she escaped the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, she did not elaborate.
After all, it was better not to mention such things. The Five Poison Sect Leader would implicitly assume she escaped by relying on her trump cards and life-saving methods.
But if she was vague or fabricated lies, it would not be so simple to deceive a Nascent Soul True Lord.
“Hmm, the Sect will record this as a merit for you.”
The Five Poison Sect Leader’s skin was as fair as jade, her appearance exquisite and delicate, and her tender voice was filled with the majesty of a superior.
Although Nangong Mili had gained nothing from this trip.
The outcome of the Tian Yuan Secret Realm was beyond everyone’s expectations, so she still had merit.
“Your return is timely. Not long ago, this Sect Leader and the Immortal Lotus Sect…”
The female child looked at Nangong Mili and revealed a secret.
“Immortal Lotus Sect!?”
Upon hearing this, Nangong Mili’s beautiful and enchanting face suddenly froze, filled with surprise.
She naturally knew the name of the Immortal Lotus Sect, one of the top powers in the Southern Wilderness!
The Five Poison Sect was a dominant force in Jin Country, with a Nascent Soul True Lord presiding over it.
However, compared to a top force like the Immortal Lotus Sect in the Southern Desolate, it was completely insufficient.
“Sect Leader, the Immortal Lotus Sect has sent people. Is there something going on?”
Nangong Mili asked in a low voice.
Although the Five Poison Sect was a Demonic Path force, compared to those top Demonic Path forces, it was merely a small fry, and usually had no contact.
Now that the Immortal Lotus Sect had suddenly sent people, it was clear something was happening.
“You don’t need to concern yourself with this. The Immortal Lotus Sect is here to select a few promising disciples to strengthen the relationship between our two sects.”
The Five Poison Sect Leader looked at Nangong Mili and said.
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
Nangong Mili didn’t ask any further questions and responded respectfully.
“Did that old Ghost Devil True Person make a move on Nangong Yaoyao because of this matter before?”
After walking out of the Five Saints Hall, Nangong Mili’s Phoenix eyes narrowed, gleaming with a chilling light, as she muttered to herself.
But thinking about the Immortal Lotus Sect sending people to select a few promising disciples from the Five Poison Sect, she bit her delicate red lips, her expression changing between cloudy and clear.
Lu Quanzhen, draped in a black cloak, rode a flying shuttle, with a Kunpeng seemingly appearing and disappearing beneath his feet, speeding madly, cutting a long rainbow across the sky.
However, before he could speed far, he felt a bone-chilling coldness袭, as if a pair of cold, eerie eyes were watching him.
Looking up, he saw a bone throne appear in front of him at some unknown point.
Seated on it was a withered old man in black robes with blood-red eyes, a terrifying face, and an aura as deep as an abyss and as vast as Hell emanating from his entire body.
“Ghost Devil True Person!”
When Lu Quanzhen saw this old man, he was instantly terrified, his muscles tensing up.
“Hehehe, junior, I didn’t expect you to know me.”
The black-robed old man’s blood-red eyes stared at Lu Quanzhen, leaning his head forward and grinning menacingly.
As he spoke, Lu Quanzhen felt himself enveloped by a cold, sinister aura.
Invisible ghost hands appeared from all directions, grabbing his limbs and squeezing his throat, making him unable to move or breathe.
“Run, why don’t you keep running? Weren’t you very good at running? Why aren’t you running anymore?!”
The Ghost Devil True Person sat on the bone throne, his voice bone-chilling, as if from the nethermost Hell, intending to freeze people’s Divine Souls into ice.
Lu Quanzhen’s face instantly turned pale, his magic power became chaotic, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably as if his muscles were cramping.
This was the gap between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation!
Even though he cultivated the Yin Yang Five Elements Kunpeng Art, had numerous trump cards, and had even killed Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Yet, facing a Core Formation Immortal Master, in front of absolute power, he was still utterly helpless.
“Junior, don’t worry, I won’t kill you so easily.”
“I want to make your life worse than death, make you experience the pain of ten thousand ghosts devouring your heart, and then refine you into my Ten Thousand Soul Banner to sacrifice to the spirit of my son in Heaven!”
The Ghost Devil True Person slowly extended his withered palm, and two cold rays of light shot out from his blood-red eyes.
Lu Quanzhen immediately felt a cold ghost hand gripping him tightly, grunting, and spitting out blood.
The gap was too big.
The gap between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation was truly too great!
Even if he still had trump cards, he couldn’t use them at this moment.
“Hehehe—”
The Ghost Devil True Person looked at Lu Quanzhen in front of him and let out a sinister, low laugh, causing Lu Quanzhen’s entire body to ache as if being cut by knives, his blood to boil, and his heart to convulse.
“Old Ghost Li, you cowardly turtle, I finally caught you!”
Just then, a burly giant, a full ten feet tall, appeared, looking at the Ghost Devil True Person, his voice deep and Rolling like thunder, shouting loudly.
“Hmm, Old Ghost Zhentian, why are you here?!”
When the Ghost Devil True Person saw this giant, the pupils of his blood-red, ghost-like eyes suddenly constricted.
As a Demonic Path Immortal Master, he naturally had many enemies.
This giant in front of him was one of his enemies, and an enemy he greatly feared!
Immediately, a dark, eerie gourd with grotesque patterns coiling around it appeared in his hand. He pointed it at Lu Quanzhen and pulled out the stopper.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Instantly, a strong Yin wind blew, and a ghostly shadow seemed to emerge from the gourd, directly pulling Lu Quanzhen into it.
Facing this gourd’s technique, Lu Quanzhen was utterly helpless.
“Today I caught you, let’s see where else you can run!”
The giant looked at the Ghost Devil True Person and roared, his voice like the simultaneous roar of thousands of giant beasts, shaking the heavens and earth, causing the air to explode in sections.
His ten-foot-tall physique grew even larger, like a savage Dragon, charging towards the Ghost Devil True Person.
“Whoosh—”
The Ghost Devil True Person was very aware of the giant’s strength; he not only had Core Formation cultivation but also Middle Stage Third Tier Body Refining, which was simply overbearing and difficult to deal with. He immediately urged his bone throne to flee.
But the giant had spent so much effort, even deliberately using Lu Quanzhen to bait the Ghost Devil True Person, so how could he let him escape so easily?
“Boom, boom, boom—”
The two exchanged several blows, and the Ghost Devil True Person looked disheveled. Looking at the giant, whose body was like a small mountain and covered in demonic patterns, he coldly shouted, “Old Ghost Zhentian, do you really think you can defeat me?!”
“That’s right! If I don’t beat the shit out of you today, then consider yourself clean!”
Every move the giant made carried an overwhelming and irresistible terrifying power.
The Ghost Devil True Person’s magical arts and Divine Abilities, which had easily suppressed Lu Quanzhen before, were completely ineffective against him, forcing him to constantly flee.
At the same time, inside the Ghost Devil True Person’s dark gourd.
Lu Quanzhen was sucked into the gourd, and his body instantly grew cold, as if falling into an ice cave. He smelled an extremely strong stench of blood and foul odor, and his whole body instinctively felt uncomfortable, wanting to gag.
He held his breath and looked at the situation here.
All around him was pitch black, like the nethermost Hell. Countless Devilish Qi, ghostly Qi, and blood fiend Qi surged and rolled, while beneath his feet was a pool of blood that slowly eroded his vitality and vital blood.
“Bang!”
Lu Quanzhen immediately formed hand seals, and a five-colored small fish appeared in his palm, striking the dark wall, but it caused no damage at all.
“This should be a Magic Treasure. It’s probably as difficult as ascending to Heaven for me to break out now.”
Lu Quanzhen’s face was grim, knowing that with his current strength, he simply couldn’t break open this gourd.
His only hope was for the other Core Formation Immortal Master to kill the Ghost Devil True Person.
“But this person doesn’t seem like a Righteous Path Cultivator either. Even if he kills the Ghost Devil True Person, it’s impossible for him to kindly let me go.”
Lu Quanzhen knew he couldn’t pin his hopes on others and continued to observe the situation here.
“This blood, and this Devilish Qi and blood fiend Qi, will continuously erode my Physical Body and plunder my vital blood and magic power. If this continues, in just ten days to half a month, I will be melted into blood.”
A moment later, Lu Quanzhen realized that this gourd was not so simple.
He only had a few days.
Once he failed to escape the gourd, it would be a dead end!
But as things stood, even if he escaped the gourd, there were still two Core Formation Immortal Masters outside.
“Rather than sitting idly by and waiting for death, I might as well give it a shot!”
He looked at the blood and blood fiend Qi in front of him, and after a moment of thought, his narrow eyes gleamed with ruthlessness, and he made a decision.
Previously, in the Black Mist Swamp, he had resolved the problem of poisonous miasma erosion by cultivating the Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill taught by his uncle, thus turning danger into safety.
Now, facing this predicament, he thought of this Cultivation Technique again.
He planned to directly Cultivate this Demonic Technique, using the blood and blood fiend Qi here to Cultivate.
If his cultivation broke through to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, with his trump cards, he might be able to secure a glimmer of hope!
Although cultivating this Cultivation Technique would have endless troubles, in the current situation, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest!
Lu Quanzhen was already thoroughly familiar with the Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill. He sat cross-legged in the blood, beginning to circulate this Demonic Technique.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”
As Lu Quanzhen circulated the Cultivation Technique, mysterious runes, like tadpoles, gradually appeared on his body, and his eighty-four thousand pores became like black holes, exuding a terrifying and awe-inspiring aura.
Around him, streaks of blood-colored small fish appeared, roaring and howling, then merged into a terrifying and grotesque Kunpeng phantom.
“Roar!”
The Kunpeng roared towards the sky, opening its abyssal mouth like a black hole.
In an instant, Rolling Devilish Qi, ghostly Qi, and blood fiend Qi surged into Lu Quanzhen’s body.
