Chapter 515: The body of the five elements, the filthy divine insect!

“Spirit Body!?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned, a little bewildered.

He hadn’t expected his own son and daughter to suddenly give birth to a Spirit Body.

This was too sudden, wasn’t it?

Moreover, this tremor was extremely strong, far exceeding the previous Green Wood Spirit Body.

It was most likely a High Grade Spirit Body.

However, since this Spirit Body was born to his son and daughter, it only had a fifty percent bonus.

“Doesn’t that mean…”

Lu Changsheng’s heart suddenly swelled with joy, and then he silently recited “System” to open the System interface.

“Five Elements Body!?”

When Lu Changsheng saw the new Spirit Body in his Physique column, he immediately knew what kind of Physique this child had.

A Top Grade Spirit Body — the Five Elements Body!

However, as it was the third generation of the Lu Family, he only received a fifty percent bonus.

Thus, this Spirit Body had a ‘Pseudo’ prefix, and its effect was only that of a High Grade Spirit Body.

“My Family has produced a Five Elements Body?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat bewildered and astonished.

Earlier, when he won the “Five Elements Yuanhe Sutra” Cultivation Technique in a lottery, he had thought it would be interesting if his Family produced a Five Elements Body.

He didn’t expect it to actually appear.

And it came so suddenly.

“Does this count as our ancestral grave shining with golden light?”

Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with joy.

So many years had passed, and the number of the Lu third generation was almost two thousand.

But in terms of quality, it was simply hard to describe.

Only a few Medium Grade Spiritual Roots had appeared, and not a single High Grade Spiritual Root.

But now, a Top Grade Spirit Body had directly appeared!

One must know that even after Lu’s diligent efforts for so many years, he had only given birth to eight Spirit Body descendants.

And among the eight, only his daughter Nangong Yaoyao was a true Top Grade Spirit Body.

Lu Lingxiao and Lu Linghe’s Dragon’s Roar Body was incomplete, only counting as a High Grade Spirit Body.

“Indeed, as long as one has many children, some talented ones will always appear.”

Lu Changsheng glanced towards Biyun Peak, wondering if it was related to the Luck gathered by the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine.

After all, his own cultivation strength was evident.

And he had the System to improve his descendants’ Spiritual Roots, talent, and Spirit Body inheritance probability.

However, most of his own daughters were still in the Qi Refinement Stage.

Very few of his Foundation Establishment children had even started their own families.

And those Foundation Establishment children who had started families, their partners were also Qi Refining Cultivators.

With such a probability, it was extremely difficult to give birth to a child with extraordinary talent; it could only rely on Luck!

Lu Changsheng didn’t think much further and looked at his System’s Family interface, wanting to know which of his children this grandson came from.

But with nearly three hundred children in total, he couldn’t immediately tell who gave birth to him, so he could only check them one by one, focusing on those with descendants.

“Hmm? Wang Yanjing?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng saw that a child had been added under his son Lu Xingchen’s name.

However, when he saw the name of Lu Xingchen’s wife, his brows furrowed slightly.

He vaguely remembered that this daughter-in-law’s name was ‘Li Jingyi’.

Why was her name ‘Wang Yanjing’ in the Family list?

“Could it be that this is her real name?”

Although Lu Changsheng knew the System had such a function, he hadn’t really studied it in his daily life.

Mainly, he had too many children and descendants now; how could he pay attention to such things?

If it weren’t for her marrying Lu Xingchen, which left him with some impression, he truly wouldn’t remember the names of a few of his daughters-in-law.

[Name: Wang Yanjing]

[Lifespan: 68 / 184]

[Talent: Third Grade Spiritual Root, Small Five Elements Body (Medium Grade Spirit Body)]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Seventh Layer]

[Ability: Five Elements Spell (71%)]

“Third Grade Spiritual Root, Small Five Elements Body!?”

Lu Changsheng looked at this daughter-in-law’s panel, somewhat surprised.

Not only did she have a High Grade Spiritual Root, but she also possessed a Spirit Body!

Such a woman, no matter where she was placed, would be considered a Top Grade Genius, a Core Formation seed!

But such a Genius actually married his son Lu Xingchen?

Although Lu Xingchen’s talent was good, possessing a Third Grade Spiritual Root.

Compared to her, he was completely not on the same level.

“So… the Five Elements Body is the child of her and Xingchen?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the child under their names.

[Name: Unnamed]

[Lifespan: 1 / 88]

[Talent: Second Grade Spiritual Root, Five Elements Body (Top Grade Spirit Body)]

[Cultivation: None]

[Ability: Spell (51%)]

“Indeed!”

“It seems this child’s Five Elements Body is also related to his mother,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself, looking at the child’s interface.

Although the probability of Spirit Body inheritance was very small, there was still a certain possibility.

Moreover, this daughter-in-law was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in her early years, which could also slightly improve the Aptitude of her children.

“Second Grade Spiritual Root, Five Elements Spirit Body, my grandson has the potential to reach Nascent Soul!”

Lu Changsheng praised aloud.

The Five Elements Body, one of the most widely known Top Grade Spirit Bodies!

Compared to other Top Grade Spirit Bodies like the Dragon’s Roar Body or the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body, its effect was the most simple, direct, and practical.

Cultivating Five Elements Cultivation Techniques and Five Elements Spells would result in rapid progress and power far exceeding ordinary people!

For example, his son Lu Qingshan, who had a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root but possessed the Geng Metal Spirit Body, cultivated at a speed no weaker than that of a High Grade Spiritual Root.

And this child, with a Second Grade Spiritual Root and the Five Elements Spirit Body, his cultivation speed was estimated to be comparable to a Heavenly Spiritual Root!

“Back then, the Five Elements Wang Family was just an obscure Qi Refining small Family, with no resources and no Cultivation Technique Legacy.”

“But under such circumstances, the Wang Family Old Ancestor still rose strongly, becoming a renowned Core Formation True Person in Jiang Country, establishing the name of the Five Elements Wang Family.”

“This also indicates that the Five Elements Spirit Body, compared to other Spirit Bodies, is not as dependent on resources and Legacy.”

“And my Lu Family not only has abundant resources but also has the most Top Grade Five Elements Cultivation Technique Legacy!”

“Therefore, with my Lu Family’s cultivation, this child has hope of reaching Nascent Soul in the future!”

Lu Changsheng was extremely happy at this moment.

Even happier than if he himself had given birth to a Top Grade Spirit Body.

Because unexpected joys always made people more excited.

And the birth of this child meant that his third generation was finally going to exert its strength.

In the future, his third, fourth, and fifth generations would also see the emergence of Prodigies.

“Is this Five Elements Body compatible with the Geng Metal Spirit Body and Green Wood Spirit Body attributes?”

A moment later, Lu Changsheng looked at the pile of Spirit Bodies in his Physique column and silently recited ‘Fusion’.

“Boom!”

In an instant, his entire being seemed to enter a profound and mysterious state.

The Origin of the Spirit Bodies within him seemed to be intertwining and evolving, forming complex Dao patterns and radiating Five Elements auspicious light.

This process did not last long, as if it only took a few breaths.

“Is that all?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his System’s Physique column.

The Geng Metal Spirit Body and Green Wood Spirit Body had disappeared.

But the Five Elements Body still had a ‘Pseudo’ prefix, remaining a High Grade Spirit Body.

He closed his eyes and quietly experienced his transformation, the effects of this Five Elements Body.

Immediately, he felt the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi become much more natural.

The Five Elements seemed to actively surge towards him.

Even with every breath, Five Elements entered his mouth, nose, and pores.

“Boom!”

Lu Changsheng circulated the Yin Yang Creation Scripture, transforming all his mana into the Five Elements mana of the Five Elements Yuanhe Sutra.

Immediately, he felt that his entire body’s mana flowed incredibly smoothly and naturally.

It wasn’t that his original mana was sluggish or not smooth enough.

But with the Five Elements Body, it clearly elevated to another level.

“Before, although I had the Geng Metal Spirit Body and Green Wood Spirit Body, when cultivating the Yin Yang Creation Scripture and Five Elements Cultivation Techniques, I couldn’t fully manifest the Spirit Body effects.”

“Now that I possess the Five Elements Spirit Body, both the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture and the Five Elements Yuanhe Sutra have their power and effects elevated by a level.”

“Even by reversing Yin and Yang through the Five Elements, the effects of my Yin and Yang mana can receive a small boost!”

Lu Changsheng quietly experienced the circulation of his mana, clearly feeling the comprehensive improvement brought by the Five Elements Spirit Body.

Whether it was absorbing and refining Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, or the power and effects of his mana, everything far surpassed before.

He didn’t dwell on it too much and came to the Lu Family Mansion, preparing to see his beloved holy grandson.

“Yun’er.”

Lu Changsheng sent a voice transmission to his wife Lu Miaoyun, indicating that he had something to discuss with her.

“Husband, Jingyi has given birth, come and see her.”

Lu Miaoyun immediately responded.

Although Xia Zhiyue was a concubine, she had married Lu Changsheng early on and given birth to six children.

Her children were also quite promising, with two now at Foundation Establishment, so her status was far superior to other concubines.

Moreover, Lu Miaoyun knew that soon, Lu Changsheng would hold another wedding for Xia Zhiyue, elevating her to the status of a wife.

Under these circumstances, with Lu Xingchen’s child being born, she would naturally come to show concern.

Furthermore, as Lu Xingchen was one of the talented Foundation Establishment disciples of the Lu Family who had married early and had children, it was only right for her, as his aunt, to come and express her care and greetings.

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately arrived at a small courtyard.

“Husband!”

“Father!”

“Master!”

The wives, concubines, maids, and Lu Family disciples outside the back room immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Lu Changsheng.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded.

“Husband.”

“Father.”

Inside the delivery room, Xia Zhiyue, Lu Xingchen, and others heard the commotion and immediately came out.

At this moment, Lu Xingchen was holding a baby in his arms.

As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his wife Li Jingyi was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in her early years, so this child was full of spiritual energy, exquisitely delicate, and had no wrinkles like a mortal infant.

“Haha, Xingchen, congratulations on becoming a father.”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward, looked at the infant, and patted his shoulder with a look of relief.

“Thank you, Father.”

Lu Xingchen was still in the excited state of being a father, grinning foolishly, and nodding vigorously.

Then, as if remembering something, he handed the child to Lu Changsheng and said, “Father, you came just in time. How about you name this child?”

“For names, you and Jingyi can discuss it yourselves.”

Lu Changsheng took the infant and said softly.

Although this child had a Five Elements Body, such a spiritual body would only begin to show its uniqueness once it grew a little older.

There was nothing special about it at the moment.

“Jingyi and I discussed it before, and we wanted you, Father, to name him,” Lu Xingchen immediately said.

Lu Changsheng glanced at his son, knowing that these words were taught by either Xia Zhiyue, Lu Xingyang, or his wife Li Jingyi.

Otherwise, with his son’s personality, he wouldn’t have said such a thing.

“In that case, let’s use the character ‘Qian’.”

He pondered for a moment before speaking.

In his early years, when he was in Ruyi County City, he had set the generational characters for his Family.

Therefore, all third-generation members of the Lu Family belonged to the ‘Xuan’ generation.

“Qian?”

Lu Xingchen, Xia Zhiyue, Lu Miaoyun, and others nearby were all somewhat surprised to hear this.

The character ‘Qian’ carried significant meaning.

“Lu Xuangan.”

Xia Zhiyue called out the child’s name with a joyful expression.

“Thank you, Father, for the name.”

Lu Xingchen said, chuckling.

After holding the child for a while, Lu Changsheng returned him to Lu Xingchen, telling him to take good care of him.

He then stated that Li Jingyi’s health was not good, and he should spend more time with her these days. If Medicinal Pills were needed, he could apply to the Family.

“Husband, was there something important just now?”

Lu Miaoyun asked after she and Lu Changsheng walked out of the courtyard.

“Yun’er, send someone to investigate a woman named Wang Yanjing.”

Lu Changsheng said.

His daughter-in-law had a 3rd Grade Spiritual Root and a Small Five Elements Body. If she was a Cultivator from Jiang Country, she definitely wouldn’t be unknown.

By going to the Heaven Knowing Tower, such an intelligence organization would most likely be able to obtain her information.

“Alright.”

Lu Miaoyun didn’t ask further, nodding her head to indicate that she would have someone investigate later.

“System, draw!”

After he finished his tasks, Lu Changsheng remembered that he had obtained a drawing opportunity and a thought stirred in his mind.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Huishen Insect larva!”

“The reward has been issued to the System Space, the Host can view it at any time.”

Immediately, a transparent, spider-like insect pattern emerged from the large turntable, accompanied by a System prompt.

“Huishen Insect?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, having never heard of this insect.

Then, with a slight movement of his mind, he looked into the System Space.

“Strange Insect: Huishen Insect”

“Grade: Heaven Rank Low Grade”

“Description: One of the strange insects of the Soul Dao. Its body is formless but without substance, feeding on Divine Soul and mental intent. It possesses extremely powerful Soul perception. Once it encounters a Divine Sense attack, it will immediately release Huishen Poison, polluting the source of the attack.”

“Strange insect of the Soul Dao?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised to see the effects of the Huishen Insect.

In the Cultivation World, Heaven And Earth Treasures related to the Divine Soul were relatively precious and rare.

Spirit pets were also the same.

Although this Huishen Insect was only Heaven Rank Low Grade, inferior to the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.

Its rarity was not inferior to the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm at all.

“It’s a pity it’s only a larva.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

If this Huishen Insect had the strength of a third-order, he could completely use it himself.

But he had no interest in such a larva.

“Chensha is currently at Qi Refining Ninth Layer, so I can consider giving him this Huishen Insect.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, thinking to himself.

The Cultivation Technique he cultivated was called ‘Beast Control Technique’.

This Cultivation Technique would change differently according to the spirit beast contracted by the Cultivator, improving its Rank and making the Foundation increasingly solid.

Currently, Lu Chensha’s spirit pets included the Iron Fire Ants given by him, the Thousand-legged Centipede given by Xu Ruyin, and two pairs of Iron-backed Mantis acquired by the Family from outside.

However, Iron Fire Ants were a type of gregarious strange insect, and their grade was not high.

The Iron-backed Mantis only had a High Grade Bloodline.

The highest grade was still the Thousand-legged Centipede, a Earth Rank Medium Grade Bloodline, given by his mother.

Therefore, in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, giving this Huishen Insect to Lu Chensha would have the best effect, and he might even be able to condense a Perfect Dao Foundation with it.

“Should I give it to him now, or wait until he returns from the Purple Nether Secret Realm?”

Lu Changsheng pondered, thinking about whether to see his performance in the Purple Nether Secret Realm first.

But then he thought, currently, Lu Chensha was the one who needed this kind of spirit pet the most, so he should just give it to him.

Even if he was truly disappointing, he was still his own son.

Moreover, he was about to go to the Purple Nether Secret Realm, and with this ‘Huishen Insect’, he could have an extra boost.

However, Lu Chensha was not in Bihu Mountain at the moment.

He had gone to White Tiger Mountain and Black Cloud Mountain Range with Lu Ping’an and others.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry to extract this ‘Huishen Insect’ from the System Space, planning to wait until he returned.

At this moment.

Black Cloud Mountain Range.

Lu Ping’an led Lu Qingyan, Lu Chensha, and Lu Yunfei, a total of six people, to hunt Yao Beasts.

For this kind of training, hunting Yao Beasts, he naturally wouldn’t make a move. He would just watch over the few of them to prevent any accidents, such as encountering a second-order Yao Beast.

Although there were very few second-order Yao Beasts in the Black Cloud Mountain Range, it was still necessary to be careful and cautious.

Moreover, in this mountain range, besides Yao Beasts, there would also be many monster-hunting teams.

If these people encountered a lone Cultivator, they might directly transform into rogue Cultivators and take advantage of the situation.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

In the mountain forest, a fierce tiger roared, stirring up layers of腥风, and one tall tree after another crashed down with cracking sounds.

If one looked closely, they could see a woman holding a long spear fighting in close combat with a fierce tiger.

After a long while, the fierce commotion ceased.

A figure in silver armor, with beautiful features and a heroic demeanor, Lu Qingyan, had her long spear piercing through the tiger’s corpse.

However, she was also somewhat disheveled, her silver armor stained with blood.

“Tsk, this Body Refining method is truly astonishing.”

Lu Chensha, Lu Yunfei, and the others nearby exclaimed in admiration at the sight.

In this battle, Lu Qingyan directly engaged in close combat with this fierce tiger Yao Beast through Body Refining and successfully killed it.

“Big Brother, how was my performance?”

Lu Qingyan threw down the tiger demon’s corpse and spoke, enduring the pain in her body.

Although her Body Refining had almost reached the Peak of the first-order, this tiger demon also had the strength of the Late Stage of the first-order.

Therefore, after the battle, her physical strength was greatly consumed, and her whole body’s muscles ached.

“Not bad.”

Lu Ping’an said with a smile, his tone gentle.

He then motioned for them to rest where they were, and after eating and drinking, to continue their training.

Currently, he still separated the six people to fight with Yao Beasts.

Otherwise, if all six of them attacked together, even a second-order Early Stage Yao Beast would die at their hands.

Just like that, the seven of them continuously hunted Yao Beasts in the Black Cloud Mountain Range.

When it was almost time, Lu Ping’an would release a monster-luring incense, attracting several Yao Beasts, and let them try to work together.

However, the Black Cloud Mountain Range was ultimately a remote small place, and the Yao Beasts’ grades and Bloodlines were very ordinary, so the training effect on the six people was limited.

Bihu Mountain.

Biyun Peak, Lingxiao Pavilion.

“Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation…”

In the cultivation room, Lu Lingxiao opened his eyes, and two brilliant golden lights shot out, as if seeing through all illusions, wanting to penetrate the wall and see the outside scenery.

He walked out of the room and looked into the distance.

Not only his eyes, but also his spiritual senses and five senses became much sharper and clearer.

Even the subtle movements of ants crawling in the distance could be heard and seen.

“Buzz—”

Lu Lingxiao circulated the Son of Heaven Qi Observation Art.

Immediately, a faint golden glow appeared in his pupils, like two dragon-shaped Qi currents rising, resembling the rotation of the sun and moon, captivating the Soul.

At this moment, Lu Lingxiao’s vision became much clearer, and he could even see the movement trajectory of the Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence.

For example, under the Bishui Lake in the distance, the spiritual energy was extremely rich, as if some treasure was buried there.

He continued to look up, towards the Peak of Biyun Peak.

He could see the Reversal of the Five Elements Formation operating at the Peak at all times.

Although he couldn’t see through the Reversal of the Five Elements Formation.

He could capture the Formation’s spiritual patterns and operational trajectory.

If he wanted to, and started studying Formations now, he would probably advance by leaps and bounds, becoming a second-order Formation Master in the shortest possible time.

“I wonder if I can now see through Lu Wangshu’s Symbol Array?”

Lu Lingxiao thought to himself.

But as soon as the thought arose, he shook his head, not having much interest.

After fusing with the Son of Heaven Qi Observation Art Dharma Seed, although his cultivation did not increase much, only breaking through from Foundation Establishment Second Layer to Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

He could clearly feel that his Physical Body, magical power, Foundation, and even his Dragon’s Roar Body had all improved.

Furthermore, many combat experiences had appeared in his mind.

Although there was no practical verification.

He knew that he was completely not on the same level as before.

He no longer had much interest in his original challenge target, Lu Wangshu.

He set Lu Qingshan and the Nascent Soul Prodigy of Heaven Sword Sect as his new goals!

Just like these people, to be invincible among those of the same realm!

“I now need continuous real combat and the baptism of blood to digest these combat experiences, truly integrate them, and transform them into my own strength.”

Lu Lingxiao’s eyes were like torches, preparing to go out for training.

Although he had many innate combat experiences in his mind.

But experience is experience; transforming it into strength and instinct requires a process.

And the best way to go through this process is through battle!

Moreover, after fusing with the Son of Heaven Dharma Seed, he knew that an invincible heart was not something that could be spoken into existence.

It needed to be nurtured slowly through one victory after another, and self-affirmation!

Only then could he possess a truly invincible heart and an invincible momentum!

Lu Lingxiao walked out of the small courtyard, preparing to pay respects to his parents and inform them about the Son of Heaven Qi Observation and his intention to go out for training.

At this moment, as he walked, his steady and powerful figure seemed to carry an added sense of authority.
