Chapter 535: True Lord Qingluan, attacked three times!

Chapter 533: Qingluan True Monarch, Three Times!

The feather’s runes were extremely complex. As firelight flickered, they resembled Phoenixes soaring with outstretched wings, dazzling and magnificent.

Even Lu Changsheng could not see through its Profound Truth for a moment.

He would need to spend a lot of time and energy to possibly comprehend it.

“Could it be that this is the legendary Phoenix Seal Script?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Phoenix Seal Scripts swirling around and narrowed his eyes.

It is said that most Cultivation Techniques and Spells originate from the manifestation of Heaven And Earth rules as symbols and patterns.

Like the bird-like symbols and Seal Scripts in the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman.

The Blood Talisman Spirit Body’s blood patterns in its Qi Sea Dantian.

On the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine, the interwoven patterns and trajectories were all like this.

And in this regard, the most famous are the runes from the True Dragon and Phoenix, which are called ‘Dragon Script Phoenix Seal’!

However, Lu Changsheng had only heard of them and had never seen them.

He didn’t know if this was the legendary Phoenix Seal Script.

If it truly was the Phoenix Seal Script, then this True Feather might allow him to comprehend the Heavenly Phoenix clan’s Spells and Divine Abilities.

“Honglian’s Legacy is called Vermilion Bird Palace. Perhaps she can comprehend something from this Sky Phoenix True Feather.”

Honglian once told Lu Changsheng that Vermilion Bird Palace’s Ancestral Master was related to the Vermilion Bird clan.

And Sky Phoenix and Vermilion Bird are both intricately related to the Phoenix.

“I’ll look at it later.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, feeling that this matter was not urgent.

If the Sky Phoenix True Feather was given to Honglian to comprehend, it would be like giving it to her.

But he had just created a body for her, and now giving such a rare item, would he be showing favoritism to his other wives?

At least, he should wait until Honglian had two children before he showed his reward by giving her this Sky Phoenix True Feather to comprehend.

“Moreover, this True Feather can be entirely used to refine a top-tier Magic Treasure with a Fourth Rank Foundation.”

Lu Changsheng played with it for a bit, intending to put it aside for now and then decide how to use it later.

Half a month later.

Lu Changsheng, after confirming his fishing attempt had failed, sighed deeply and took Lu Ping’an directly back to Bihu Mountain.

These days, many things had happened at Lu.

Hongye Valley Market and White Tiger Mountain were attacked by rogue Cultivators.

However, the Lu Family’s current strength could easily handle it.

It’s worth mentioning that when Hongye Valley was attacked by rogue Cultivators, Lu Miaoge stepped forward, displaying her Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation strength, which shocked many people and Family forces.

After all, Lu Miaoge’s Breakthrough to Late Stage Foundation Establishment was not a minor piece of news.

Everyone knew that she and Lu Changsheng Cultivated a dual cultivation technique.

When they were both in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, they could already fight Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

Now that the couple had both Broken through to Late Stage Foundation Establishment, how terrifying would their combat power be?

Could they fight False Core?

Or, like Lu Ping’an, an outstanding figure among False Core Cultivators!?

“Lu Miaoge, you’ve worked hard these days.”

Lu Changsheng, after hearing this news, held his wife’s hand and said softly.

“What’s hard about this?”

Lu Miaoge, in a plain white dress with a gentle appearance, asked them how their trip outside was.

“No one took the bait. I suspect this attack was most likely a test from a certain Family, wanting to see how much strength our Family had hidden after Ping’an was gone.”

Lu Changsheng said so.

In his opinion, the attacks on Hongye Valley Market and White Tiger Mountain most likely came from the probing of a certain Family force.

However, the other party did it very cleanly, as all the rogue Cultivators came from unknown Loose Cultivators.

Regarding this, Lu Changsheng didn’t pay too much attention.

As long as it wasn’t a Core Formation Family declaring war or a False Core Family declaring full-scale war, the Family didn’t need him to step forward now.

His current approach to facing the Jin Family, the Sima Family, and these Family forces was originally for caution, to give his children an Opportunity to gain experience and grow.

Otherwise, in a few more years, Meng Xiaochun would Breakthrough to Core Formation, Xiao Xiyue would Breakthrough to Core Formation, and his own Core Formation matter would not be easy to keep secret anymore.

By then, once the news of his Family having multiple Core Formation Cultivators spread, the Family would have to start playing high-level games.

“Speaking of which, if I propose to Xiao Xiyue and then also mention Qingyi, Immortal Master Caiyun won’t strike me down, will she?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of Xiao Xiyue’s Core Formation and inviting Immortal Master Caiyun to officiate their wedding.

Back then, the other party promised that as long as he and Xiao Xiyue both reached Core Formation within fifty years, she would agree to their marriage and could even hold a grand ceremony for them.

But his relationship and feelings with Chu Qingyi had already reached this point, so marrying them both together should be fine.

Moreover, Chu Qingyi’s current heart knot was with her Master Yun Wanchang.

As long as Yun Wanchang nodded, Lu Changsheng felt that Chu Qingyi would be willing to marry.

“Sigh, I’ll find an Opportunity to test the waters later.”

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

After chatting with Lu Miaoge for a while, Lu Changsheng came to the cave to visit Bai Ling and Meng Xiaochun.

“Daddy.”

His daughter, Lu Baixi, although not yet one year old, was already the size of a typical two or three-year-old child, and spoke to Lu Changsheng in a childish voice.

However, this daughter seemed to be naturally disinclined to smile; her delicate, jade-like little face showed no expression.

“Xiao Xi.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled as he hugged his daughter and took her to see his other daughter, Lu Linghe, to see if she could be influenced.

“Xiao Xi, you can call me Xiao He sister.”

Lu Linghe got along with everyone.

Seeing this younger sister’s snake pattern between her eyebrows and the platinum flecks in her pupils, her tender face showed some surprise as she said, “Daddy, what is this?”

“It’s like your brother’s eyes that glow golden.”

Lu Changsheng explained simply.

Lu Linghe, hearing this, nodded, didn’t mind, and continued chatting with Lu Baixi.

When she was young, she was often looked after by Bai Ling, so she felt very close to Lu Baixi at this moment and took out sweets from her purse to share with Lu Baixi.

“Oh, Xiao He sister.”

Lu Baixi’s eyes immediately brightened a bit, and then the two, one big and one small, ate with great relish.

“They have company now.”

Lu Changsheng and Bai Ling, seeing this heartwarming scene, exchanged glances, both with smiles on their faces.

However, looking at the two in front of him, Lu Changsheng always felt something was missing.

A moment later, Bing’er sensed his aura and rose from her coffin.

Beside the big and small dining table, suddenly appeared a girl with exquisite and beautiful features, innocent and tender eyes, like a clear spring in an empty mountain.

Lu Changsheng, looking at the scene before him, suddenly felt it was much more harmonious.

“Daddy! Ling’er Auntie! You eat.”

“Brother! Sister.”

Xiao He and Bing’er looked at Lu Changsheng and Bai Ling and shared with them.

Little Baixi, seeing this, also imitated them, holding her own spoon, and fed Lu Changsheng and Bai Ling.

“Good girl.”

Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with joy, and his eyes held both delight and relief.

Every time he looked at his wives, concubines, and children, one new life after another being born, growing strong, and enjoying the Family warmth, a sense of responsibility, accountability, fulfillment, and achievement would surge in his heart.

“However, it is precisely having responsibility, accountability, family, protection, and goals, rather than simply becoming stronger, that gives life meaning.”

Lu Changsheng, enjoying his daughter’s feeding, said to himself.

The Cultivation World has always had the saying of ‘Mortal World refining the heart’.

Lu Changsheng felt that for so many years, he had always been refining his heart in the Mortal World, experiencing and living.

“It is precisely because of this that after so many years, my original intention remains unchanged, which is rare and precious.”

Lu Changsheng sighed with emotion, enjoying the warmth and sense of fulfillment.

After the heartwarming moment ended, he handed Lu Linghe and Lu Baixi over to Lu Ping’an, and then spent quality time with Bai Ling and Bing’er.

Several days later, Lu Changsheng came to Yuchan Pavilion to accompany Meng Xiaochun.

Her Cultivation had long since reached Foundation Establishment Peak.

Now, it was about solidifying her Foundation and waiting for the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit to ripen.

Regarding this, Lu Changsheng naturally wholeheartedly helped Meng Xiaochun solidify her Foundation.

A month later.

Lu Changsheng, after spending time with his wives, concubines, and children, continued to take Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and Qingluan Immortal City for leisure.

Having previously enjoyed the scenery along the way, this time, Lu Changsheng directly released the Golden Winged Roc, taking the three women to enjoy speed and excitement.

The Golden Winged Roc, like a golden streak, tore through endless gale winds, and in less than ten days, arrived at the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

The continuous and boundless, like scattered stars on a chessboard, majestic mountain range looked very shocking when viewed from high altitude.

“Caw!”

Lu Changsheng, embracing the three women, stood on the Golden Winged Roc, gazing at the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range scenery before them.

Such behavior could be said to be extremely arrogant.

However, it was also because he had the Golden Winged Roc that Lu Changsheng dared to treat the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range like his own backyard garden.

“Caw!”

Just as the four were chatting and laughing, the Golden Winged Roc suddenly let out a cry.

Lu Changsheng was also startled, feeling a terrifying aura.

He saw that in front, ripples surged, the Void Realm tore open, and a figure walked out.

She had a tall and slender figure, wearing a luxurious jade-green brocade robe, and a jade-green glazed crown on her head, like a graceful Young Master resembling a jade tree in the wind.

However, her figure and appearance could be recognized at a glance as a woman.

A woman of peerless beauty!

It was just that her beauty was different from most women in the world.

Her features were sharp, with distinct angles, eyebrows like sharp swords, eyes like the sun, moon, and stars, nose as prominent as a distant mountain, and crimson, vibrant lips, revealing an indescribable heroic, dignified, and solemn aura.

Causing people, the moment they saw her, to subconsciously overlook her beauty and not dare to directly look at or appreciate her beauty.

The woman’s Phoenix eyes, bright as stars, surveyed Lu Changsheng before her, giving Lu Changsheng a feeling like thorns in his back, as if he was being seen through.

Nascent Soul!

The woman before him was a Nascent Soul True Lord!

This was Lu Changsheng’s first time directly facing a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and an unprecedented sense of danger surged in his heart.

He hadn’t expected that he, while traveling with his wives, would actually encounter a Nascent Soul True Lord!

But at this moment, the Peach Blossom Gu in his glabella sent a faint, indistinct message, indicating to seize the Opportunity well, as there was hope for a connection.

“Damn it, you’re really daring!”

Lu Changsheng cursed inwardly.

Then he took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, cupped his hands and said, “Greetings, Senior.”

“Caw!”

Alongside the woman, a shimmering, extremely majestic blue Luan bird appeared.

This Luan bird, with golden glowing eyes, looked at Lu Changsheng and then nodded vigorously.

“Third Rank Top-tier Yao King!”

Lu Changsheng immediately, through this Luan bird’s aura, sensed its approximate strength and was surprised in his heart.

Wait, a Third Rank Top-tier Blue Luan…

He looked at the woman before him.

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to be nervous. A few days ago, this True Monarch divined that my Spirit Beast had a certain karmic connection. Now it seems this Opportunity is with Fellow Daoist.”

“Does Fellow Daoist have Blue Luan or Phoenix items on him?”

The woman’s crimson lips parted slightly, and she spoke.

His voice was clear and deep, yet without the slightest roughness, full of magnetic charm.

“Qingluan, a Phoenix item?”

Lu Changsheng immediately knew that the item the other party was referring to was most likely the Sky Phoenix True Feather.

He hadn’t expected that he had only recently acquired this Sky Phoenix True Feather, yet the other party was able to deduce it.

Such methods were simply astonishing!

“This karmic connection is related to my Spirit Beast’s breakthrough opportunity. If Fellow Daoist is willing to trade, you can state any requirements.”

As a Nascent Soul True Lord, the woman immediately discerned something from Lu Changsheng’s expression and continued to speak.

“Senior, are you Qingluan True Monarch?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the woman before him and asked.

When he first saw the third-rank top-tier Qingluan, his first thought was of the former top Loose Cultivator of Jiang Country, Qingluan Immortal Master.

Moreover, the woman’s appearance bore some resemblance to the portrait of Qingluan Immortal Master he had seen before.

“That’s right.”

The woman was tall and stood straight like a spear.

Her masculine azure jade brocade robe and chiseled face formed an indescribably unique charm.

“Qingluan Immortal Master!”

“Qingluan True Monarch!”

Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan on the Golden Winged Roc both looked at the woman before them with surprise and doubt upon hearing this.

They hadn’t expected that she was the once famous top Loose Cultivator of Jiang Country!

Fifteen years ago, a piece of news that shook Jiang Country spread from Qingluan Immortal City.

Qingluan Immortal Master had disappeared.

The outside world was abuzz with discussions, all speculating that Qingluan Immortal Master had gone out to attempt a breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Now, fifteen years later, Qingluan Immortal Master had actually successfully broken through to Nascent Soul and returned to Jiang Country!

If this news were to spread, it would absolutely shake the entire Jiang Country Cultivation World!

“If this Qingluan True Monarch returns to the Immortal City, the entire Jiang Country Cultivation World, and even the Yue Country Cultivation World, will be affected!”

Lu Miaoyun was utterly astonished.

“True Monarch, are you referring to this item?”

After hearing that the other party was Qingluan Immortal Master, Lu Changsheng swept his hand across his waist, and the Sky Phoenix True Feather appeared in his hand.

He had learned about some of Qingluan Immortal Master’s deeds in his early years.

Although she was already a Core Formation cultivator when she became famous.

But she had gradually expanded Qingluan Market into ‘Qingluan Immortal City’, making it a Holy Land for Loose Cultivators, and her reputation and public image were spotless.

Therefore, in this situation, Lu Changsheng was willing to trade.

If he were to encounter some Demonic Path Cultivator with no reputation or public image, he could only risk his life with the Golden Winged Roc and then use a life-substituting talisman to escape.

“Master!”

As soon as the Sky Phoenix True Feather appeared, the Luan bird next to Qingluan True Monarch immediately let out a crisp cry, its eyes filled with desire.

Lu Changsheng could tell that this Luan bird possessed a thin Bloodline of the True Spirit Qingluan.

Both Sky Phoenix and Qingluan belong to the Phoenix Bloodline.

Therefore, this Sky Phoenix True Feather would be of great help to this Luan bird.

“This Qingluan True Monarch is not simple. She has only just broken through to Nascent Soul, yet she is already planning a fourth-rank opportunity for her Spirit Beast!”

“She has a Qingluan Dao soldier. If this Luan bird breaks through to the fourth-rank, her strength among Nascent Soul True Lords will definitely be outstanding, not inferior to many veteran Nascent Souls!”

Lu Changsheng exclaimed in his heart.

Those who can break through to Nascent Soul are all Prodigies with great Opportunity and great Luck!

It is very, very difficult to challenge across ranks; it’s all about Foundation!

“This is… Sky Phoenix True Feather, and its Bloodline aura is so rich!”

Qingluan True Monarch was surprised to see this feather.

Although she had deduced a subtle karmic opportunity, she wasn’t clear about the specifics.

It was only through continuous searching and sensing the aura of the Golden Winged Roc that she realized the opportunity lay with Lu Changsheng.

“Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to trade, you can state any requirements you have.”

Qingluan True Monarch appraised Lu Changsheng, wondering when such a person had appeared in Jiang Country.

He not only had such a Golden Winged Roc as a Spirit Beast mount, but also possessed the Sky Phoenix True Feather!

One should know that neither a Bloodline Spirit Beast like the Golden Winged Roc nor the Sky Phoenix True Feather should appear in the hands of a Core Formation cultivator!

But as soon as she had that thought and tried to deduce Lu Changsheng’s situation, she felt a great resistance, and a mist of heavenly secrets enveloped her heart.

This situation indicated either that the other party’s strength was not so simple, or that he possessed means or treasures to shield heavenly secrets!

“Lu’s request is very simple: if needed in the future, I hope True Monarch can assist me three times.”

Lu Changsheng stated his request.

This Qingluan True Monarch, as the former top Loose Cultivator of Jiang Country who established a Holy Land for Loose Cultivators and has now broken through to Nascent Soul, is definitely not as simple as the outside world rumored!

She likely possesses many rare items, and even has ways to acquire Hua Ying Pills.

But for Lu Changsheng, he currently lacked no rare Heaven And Earth Treasure, but he did lack a Nascent Soul backer!

This Qingluan True Monarch, being able to grow to this point and make a deal with him, clearly had a certain bottom line.

As long as she was willing to assist him three times, and he wasn’t provoking a Nascent Soul True Lord, she would likely be able to resolve it.

Moreover, such a hook could also deepen their relationship in the future.

“Assist three times…”

Qingluan True Monarch did not immediately agree.

Such a request could be big or small.

If Lu Changsheng wanted her to cause trouble for Heaven Sword Sect, or go to some Secret Realm, she would naturally be unwilling.

After all, her ability to rise from a mere Loose Cultivator to her current position, besides Opportunity and Luck, was also due to her meticulous planning.

For example, most people in the outside world did not believe she would break through to Nascent Soul.

Little did they know, she waited until this age to attempt a breakthrough to Nascent Soul precisely to make thorough preparations!

“True Monarch, please rest assured, such assistance will naturally be within your capabilities.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng added.

“Assisting three times within my capabilities, this condition is not excessive. I can agree to it.”

Qingluan True Monarch thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

“Since that’s the case, this Sky Phoenix True Feather belongs to True Monarch.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, without hesitation, generously handing the Sky Phoenix True Feather to her.

This Qingluan True Monarch seemed polite, but she was, after all, a Nascent Soul True Lord.

If she were to forcefully seize it, even if he could escape, he would have to pay a heavy price.

It was better to appear more unrestrained and leave a good impression on this Qingluan True Monarch.

This way, it would also be easier to interact and deepen their relationship in the future.

Qingluan True Monarch’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her eyes curled up a bit, revealing a hint of charm amidst her dignity, seeing Lu Changsheng being so straightforward.

She took the Sky Phoenix True Feather, then a green jade gilded plaque appeared in her hand, which she handed to Lu Changsheng.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, if you have anything in the future, you can use this token to find me in Qingluan Immortal City. Within my capabilities, I will naturally not refuse.”

“If you encounter an emergency, you can directly crush this token, and I will rush over immediately.”

Qingluan Immortal Master said.

Having obtained the Sky Phoenix True Feather, her Spirit Beast now had a fourth-rank opportunity, and she was in a very joyful mood.

“With True Monarch’s words, Lu feels relieved.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, then asked: “Is True Monarch planning to settle in Qingluan Immortal City?”

Qingluan True Monarch’s eyes gleamed with astonishing sharpness, and she said: “I have just attained Nascent Soul, so I naturally need to find a spiritual land to Cultivate.”

“Qingluan Immortal City was built by me step by step. Now that I have returned, I naturally plan to settle here.”

Qingluan True Monarch said.

“Good, Lu congratulates True Monarch on your return in advance!”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“My return news, please keep it confidential for now, Fellow Daoist, and do not disclose it to the outside world.”

Qingluan True Monarch said.

“Naturally.”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

However, he couldn’t help but wonder, this Qingluan True Monarch had already broken through to Nascent Soul, yet she was still so cautious. Was she plotting something?

“Since that’s the case, I shall take my leave.”

Qingluan True Monarch said no more, lightly raised her hand, and the Qingluan beside her let out a cry. Ripples appeared in the Void Realm before them, and then she disappeared.

“Nascent Soul True Lord, traversing the Void Realm, terrifying indeed!”

Lu Changsheng watched this scene and let out a long breath.

Although he appeared composed.

It was false to say he wasn’t nervous at all.

He could sense the strength and Qi of the Qingluan on the other side.

But he couldn’t feel any cultivation aura from this Qingluan True Monarch!

There was only a deep and unfathomable vastness, and danger!

Not just him.

The Golden Winged Roc also felt a strong sense of danger from Qingluan True Monarch!

As a Yao Beast, a True Spirit-rank Bloodline Yao Beast, its perception of danger was often even sharper than Lu Changsheng’s.

So this further indicated the extraordinary nature of Qingluan True Monarch.

“Seeing this Qingluan True Monarch break through to Nascent Soul, it’s not an ordinary Mortal World Nascent Soul, but very likely a Earthly Dao Nascent Soul…”

Lu Changsheng was surprised in his heart.

Foundation Establishment is divided into Shattered, Imperfect, Flawless, and Perfect.

Core Formation is divided into nine grades.

Nascent Soul is also the same.

It is divided into Mortal World Nascent Soul, Earthly Dao Nascent Soul, and Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul!

This Qingluan True Monarch, having just broken through to Nascent Soul, was already so unfathomable, indicating that she was not the most common Mortal World Nascent Soul.

Coming from a Loose Cultivator background and breaking through to Earthly Dao Nascent Soul, then the value of this Qingluan True Monarch is even higher.

After all, when Lu Changsheng chatted with Chu Qingyi, he learned that Heaven Sword Sect’s Sword Saint Monarch had broken through to Earthly Dao Nascent Soul through the Tian Yuan Secret Realm!

“Husband.”

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen looked at Lu Changsheng.

There was no oppressive aura just now.

But facing that Qingluan True Monarch, they instinctively dared not speak.

“It’s fine. Being able to exchange this item for three instances of assistance from Qingluan True Monarch is not a loss.”

“However, with Qingluan True Monarch’s return, the Jiang Country Cultivation World is probably going to change.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile to his wife.

Considering Qingluan True Monarch’s return, Lu Changsheng suspected that Qingluan Immortal City would experience significant changes these days, so he canceled their plan and led the three women back.

The three women all knew the importance of the matter and had no desire for further enjoyment.

“However, I didn’t expect this Qingluan True Monarch to understand divination techniques.”

“It seems I should try to go out less in the future, and try to travel discreetly, otherwise, it would be troublesome if I encountered other Evil Path Nascent Souls.”

Lu Changsheng mused in his heart, feeling that riding the Golden Winged Roc out like this was a bit too ostentatious.

However, Qingluan True Monarch didn’t make a move just now, perhaps because she saw the Golden Winged Roc and was wary.

After all, although the Sky Phoenix True Feather could incite greed, a True Spirit-rank Bloodline Spirit Beast also made one wonder what hidden trump cards and methods it possessed.
