Chapter 552: Lu Baixi awakens his bloodline inheritance! Go back and forth to the Immortal City!
After Lu Changsheng left Great Dream Immortal City, the Mi Chen Banner appeared in his hand.
“Boom!”
Mana surged into the Mi Chen Banner like a bursting river.
However, the artifact spirit told Lu Changsheng that this level of mana was far from enough to teleport back to Bihu Mountain.
“In that case, I’ll just spend the money!”
Although rushing back at full speed would only take about ten days.
But Lu Changsheng also wanted to try the true effect of the Mi Chen Banner!
“Boom!”
The one hundred thousand Spirit Stones previously placed into the Mi Chen Banner’s Xumi Grotto-heaven space began to burn frantically.
However, even after all these Spirit Stones were burned, it was still not enough.
Lu Changsheng then put in another one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and only then did the Mi Chen Banner glow with five-colored brilliance, transforming into a colorful cloud that enveloped him, creating ripples like water.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
The world spun, and space shifted.
After a few breaths, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared on the peak of Biyun Peak.
Lu Changsheng, enveloped in colorful brilliance, appeared, his steps faltering.
His first experience with teleportation was not pleasant.
Even with the protection of the Mi Chen Banner, there would still be the squeezing and distortion caused by the spatial tunnel.
The longer the teleportation distance, the more severe the spatial turbulence.
However, Lu Changsheng’s Physical Body was strong, so he suffered no damage, just like motion sickness or airsickness, feeling a slight discomfort.
“But this efficiency is truly remarkable.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the scene of Bihu Mountain before him, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.
At this moment, Ling Zixiao, feeling something, rushed over.
“Lang Jun, you’re back!”
Seeing Lu Changsheng, her expression was joyful.
However, she was a little confused as to why she didn’t see Honglian.
“Zixiao.”
Lu Changsheng smiled, indicating that he had something to announce.
He then called Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, and Meng Xiaochun over and told them about the Great Dream Immortal City.
“What, Great Dream Immortal City!?”
“Husband, you and Senior Honglian have become the City Lords of Great Dream Immortal City!?”
The women were all shocked, full of disbelief.
One must know that the Three Great Immortal Cities had stood in Jiang Country for countless years.
Even the predecessors of the Immortal Cities were top-tier forces!
But now, Great Dream Immortal City, one of the Three Great Immortal Cities, had actually become their own property!
“Mm.”
Lu Changsheng did not go into detail about the process, only briefly mentioning his encounter and transaction with Meng Wuhen and his wife.
However, the women all realized that their Husband had been planning and preparing for this matter during the past six months, and it was not as easy as he made it sound.
“Lang Jun, now that you and Senior Honglian are to take charge of the Immortal City, what are your plans?”
Ling Zixiao asked.
Since they had obtained Great Dream Immortal City, their main energy would surely be focused on the Immortal City.
“I plan to take you all to live in the Immortal City. Bihu Mountain will be guarded by Xumi and can operate normally.”
“In the future, the Lu children can gradually be sent to Great Dream Marsh for tempering, to take over core authority, or to serve as island masters…”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Since they had Great Dream Immortal City, there was no need to spend too much effort on Bihu Mountain.
It wasn’t about favoring the new over the old.
After so many years of development, Bihu Mountain had reached its peak and was difficult to advance further.
Whatever they did, people would be watching, restricting their actions.
It was better to shift the focus to Great Dream Immortal City.
As for Bihu Mountain, it could operate normally, remaining their Family land and a place for the Family children to grow.
“Before, Qingyan and Qingsong were frustrated in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, so it’s better to abandon the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range for now and go to Great Dream Marsh.”
Lu Miaoge said.
“Hmm? What happened?”
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly and asked.
“It should be that Qingyan and Qingsong’s identities were discovered, so they were attacked and targeted by other forces.”
Lu Miaoge said.
Although the Four Great Immortal Sects prohibited conflicts and disputes between major forces.
But this prohibition only meant that they couldn’t openly act.
In secret, if your Family disciples encountered attacks while training outside, unless there was direct evidence, it was useless even if you knew who did it.
Moreover, Lu Qingsong and Lu Qingyan and others encountered multiple attacks, and they couldn’t determine which Family was responsible.
Besides the Jin Family and Sima Family, there were also some Families who wanted to sit back and watch the tigers fight, stirring up trouble and interfering with the Lu Family’s development.
“How are they doing now? Are they at Lu? They can go to Great Dream Marsh later.”
Lu Changsheng said immediately.
His daughter Lu Qingyan cultivated the Black Dragon Codex, which was very suitable for Great Dream Marsh.
He had previously planned to send this daughter and some children who cultivated water-attribute Cultivation Techniques to Great Dream Marsh to become island masters.
Although his son Lu Qingsong’s talent was relatively poor, he had managed White Tiger Mountain and the Chamber of Commerce for many years, possessing certain management abilities.
“With the Talismans you gave them, Changsheng, they were only seriously injured, but safe.”
Lu Miaoge said softly.
“Mm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, thinking about which other children to bring besides these two.
Since he had just taken over the Immortal City, it wasn’t good to arrange a bunch of people at once; a transition was needed.
Moreover, he preferred to send his children there for tempering rather than simply handling affairs.
After discussing official matters, Lu Changsheng inquired about his wife and the situation at Lu.
Especially Meng Xiaochun, who had been pregnant for half a year, her belly was already bulging.
“Xiao Chan, you’ve worked hard these past few days.”
Meng Xiaochun, pregnant, wore a loose purple dress, her beautiful face slightly plumper, losing a bit of her cool and ethereal Aura, and gaining a gentle and radiant charm.
“Lu Lang, Xiao Chan isn’t tired.”
Meng Xiaochun gently stroked her bulging belly, her beautiful eyes overflowing with maternal glow, her face full of happiness.
“Have you thought of a name for our child?”
She looked at Lu Changsheng with some anticipation.
“Xiao Chan, do you have any suggestions?”
Lu Changsheng held her slender, soft hand and said gently.
“The child’s name must be decided by you, Lu Lang.”
Meng Xiaochun pouted, believing that Lu Changsheng naming the child showed his importance to the child.
“…”
Due to the large number of children in the Lu, Lu Changsheng was now afraid of naming them.
After a moment of thought, he said, “How about Lu Xiaomeng? ‘Meng’ is similar to ‘Meng’ (Meng Xiaochun’s surname), and this child will surely be as cute as you, Xiao Chan.”
As Cultivators, they could know the gender of the fetus early on.
The child in Meng Xiaochun’s womb was a daughter.
Although Lu Changsheng did not favor sons over daughters, he still hoped for a few Genius sons deep down.
After all, throwing sons out for tempering and letting them suffer a bit wouldn’t make him as heartbroken, but with daughters, it was easy to feel heartache.
If it were a daughter who could act spoiled and cute, he would be even less able to be firm.
“Lu Lang, you’re not putting any thought into this name.”
Meng Xiaochun’s beautiful eyes held a hint of resentment.
In her opinion, her daughter would surely be able to stand on her own in the future and become a Prodigy of the Lu Family, so how could she be given such a name?
“That’s not true, I just hope she’ll always be happy and carefree, right? If you don’t like it, Husband will think hard.”
Lu Changsheng hugged Meng Xiaochun and coaxed her.
Meng Xiaochun’s eyebrows were bright, and her delicate, refined nose let out a soft hum.
There were still important matters, so Lu Changsheng didn’t linger with his wife, reminiscing and being intimate.
After explaining some things to Lu Miaoyun, he found his son Lu Qingxuan.
“Greetings, Father!”
Lu Qingxuan, dressed in a green robe, had a handsome face and had matured quite a bit, even developing a composed demeanor.
When facing Lu Changsheng, his manners were refined, appearing both respectful and not distant.
“Mm.”
Lu Changsheng saw that his son’s cultivation had broken through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer and nodded slightly.
He then stated the purpose of his visit, indicating that the Family’s development plan and policy needed significant adjustments.
Over the years, the Lu Family had been actively establishing branch strongholds in Yu Ling Sect, expanding their Chamber of Commerce, and so on.
Although the Wilderness War had affected and slowed down the progress, overall, they were still developing externally.
Now with Great Dream Immortal City, Lu Changsheng would focus on stability and cooperation for Bihu Mountain, maintaining normal operations.
All expansion efforts would be transferred to Great Dream Marsh.
“Father went to Great Dream Marsh not long ago and believes that this place is more suitable for the Family’s development. When you Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, I will make arrangements.”
Lu Changsheng added.
“Great Dream Marsh.”
Lu Qingxuan knew the general situation of Great Dream Marsh.
Although it had the famous Great Dream Immortal City, it was relatively remote, far from the Four Great Immortal Sects and the prosperous Nine Heavens Immortal City and Qingluan Immortal City.
Moreover, it was an endless water region with islands scattered like stars, making transportation very inconvenient, and they could encounter water Yao Beasts at any time.
“Yes, Father.”
Although he wasn’t clear about the specific situation, his Father had already made a decision, and he had no objections.
Besides, the current situation of the Lu Family, settling down for some time, was also a good thing.
After discussing the important matters, Lu Changsheng asked his son, “Xuan’er, do you still self-study divination on a daily basis?”
“Father, you told me before to study divination only after I reach Foundation Establishment, so I haven’t cultivated it much these days.”
Lu Qingxuan said respectfully.
In his early years, he still had time to research hobbies.
Now, as the Family Head, he had many daily affairs and also had to Cultivate, so he had no time to study anything else.
“Mm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, then cared for and guided his son’s Cultivation, and then got up to leave.
He asked because he saw that both Qingluan True Monarch and Meng Wuhen understood divination.
He believed that a top-tier force, no matter what, should have a diviner.
If his son had talent in this area, he could be well cultivated.
But thinking of the art of divination, he felt a headache again.
The learning threshold was high, and early-stage first-tier divination, or even second-tier divination, didn’t have much use.
“Besides Qingluan True Monarch, I haven’t heard of any female Cultivators in Jiang Country who are proficient in divination. Otherwise, even if I had to sacrifice my good looks, I could try to recruit a few.”
Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.
Cultivating it themselves was too difficult; the best method was to recruit from outside.
But in the entire Jiang Country Cultivation World, besides the Four Great Immortal Sects, he hadn’t heard of anyone famous for their divination.
Like Qingluan True Monarch and Meng Wuhen, if he hadn’t happened to meet them, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t have known they understood divination.
“This is normal. Divination often consumes lifespan and reduces Luck. Most people who Cultivate it use it for self-defense, to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.”
“Only a very small number of people are willing to spend their lifespan and Luck to divine for others.”
“Even if such people exist, they are only in the small circle of high-end Cultivators.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
Although he was a Core Formation cultivator, his combat power was comparable to a Core Formation Late Stage.
But he had not yet entered the circle of Core Formation cultivators and lacked connections in this regard.
“Xiao Ling’er, Xiao Xi.”
After walking out of the Lu Family Mansion, Lu Changsheng swept his Divine Sense and saw Bai Ling cultivating spiritual fish in Bihu Mountain, while his daughter Lu Baixi was studying in the Lu Family school.
Then, he came to Bishui Lake and called out to Bai Ling, “Xiao Ling’er.”
“Brother!”
Bai Ling saw Lu Changsheng and, with a surprised and longing expression, threw herself into his arms.
After they exchanged sweet nothings, Bai Ling said that her daughter had been dreaming of inexplicable information while sleeping recently, somewhat like a Bloodline Legacy.
“Bloodline Legacy…”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.
Based on his and Honglian’s speculation, his daughter Lu Baixi’s Bloodline concentration most likely possesses a Bloodline Legacy.
Upon reaching a certain age, she would gradually awaken her Bloodline Legacy.
He hadn’t expected his daughter, at only five years old, to be on the verge of Awakening her Bloodline Legacy.
However, this indicated that his daughter was exceptionally gifted.
Immediately, after his daughter’s class ended, he had Bai Ling bring her over.
“Father.”
Lu Baixi usually kept a cold little face, appearing very aloof; besides her mother Bai Ling, she was indifferent to everyone else.
“Xiao Xi, do you miss Father?”
Lu Changsheng affectionately stepped forward and ruffled his daughter’s small head.
This daughter had grown rapidly in her early years; at two or three years old, she looked like other children who were five or six.
But now, at five years old, she still looked six or seven, and hadn’t grown much more.
“No.”
Although Lu Baixi was close to Lu Changsheng, she wasn’t very enthusiastic.
“But Father misses you.”
This daughter remembered things early, and he had been busy these past few years, rarely accompanying her, so it was normal for her not to be overly affectionate.
He hugged his daughter, kissed her fair, tender cheek, and asked her about her dreams.
Lu Baixi said it was very blurry, and she would forget it upon waking.
Moreover, she had painstakingly remembered a Talisman script, but didn’t know how to describe it or reproduce it.
“It seems this Bloodline Legacy is extraordinary.”
Lu Changsheng knew that some Bloodline Legacies had Restrictions, making them difficult to transmit externally.
For example, the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture and the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, if not for his System Legacy, could only be passed down orally, not imprinted.
As for the Yin Yang Creation Scripture and the Vatican Devil True Saint Art, attempting to engrave them would cause the Jade Slip to spontaneously combust and shatter, unable to bear the load.
“It’s alright, if you remember anything or have any questions, you can come ask Father.”
Lu Changsheng pinched her fair, smooth, adorable cheek.
He planned to take Bai Ling and his daughter Lu Baixi with him on this trip to Great Dream Immortal City, to properly guide and Cultivate them.
“Okay, Father.”
Lu Baixi nodded her small head seriously.
“Wangshu and Lingxiao should also come along.”
Lu Changsheng pondered, thinking that this pair of children could be sent to Great Dream Marsh for some good tempering.
But then he thought of Great Dream Marsh being an endless water domain; if this daughter went, wouldn’t she be so happy she’d forget to return home?
“Alas.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head, not dwelling on it too much. He informed Lu Miaoge and the others, then headed to Qingyun Sect.
This trip wasn’t simply to visit Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Chu Qingyi.
Previously, the Grand Yin Profound Female Pearl that Honglian obtained from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s lair was highly compatible with Xiao Xiyue’s Dao Foundation and Moon Essence Spiritual Body.
It would aid her daily Cultivation and even her Breakthrough to Core Formation.
So Honglian gave this treasure pearl to Lu Changsheng, stating that he could give it to Xiao Xiyue.
Qingyun Sect.
Caiyun Peak, Mingyue Residence.
“Great Dream Immortal City?”
Xiao Xiyue’s expression showed surprise and doubt when she heard Lu Changsheng’s words.
She hadn’t expected Great Dream Immortal City, one of the Jiang Country’s Three Great Immortal Cities, to have changed hands to Lu Changsheng.
“Yes, I will be in Great Dream Immortal City for a relatively long time, and I will also bring Wangshu with me.”
“Xiyue, if you have any urgent matters, just crush this Jade Talisman, and I will return immediately.”
Lu Changsheng did not hide anything from Xiao Xiyue, directly revealing the matter of Great Dream Immortal City.
He also stated that if there were any significant movements or information from the Four Great Immortal Sects, they could send a message to Bihu Mountain.
In earlier years, Meng Wuhen and his wife had connections and interactions with the Four Great Immortal Sects.
As he and Honglian were in charge of the Immortal City, they also needed their own information channels.
Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi of Qingyun Sect were excellent sources of information.
“Xiyue, this is a treasure I obtained in Great Dream Marsh, and it is compatible with you.”
After discussing matters, Lu Changsheng handed the Grand Yin Profound Female Pearl to Xiao Xiyue.
“Changsheng…”
Xiao Xiyue saw the gift before her, and her Spiritual Body Dao Foundation resonated with it faintly, making her very pleasantly surprised and moved.
With this Grand Yin Profound Female Pearl, her Breakthrough to Core Formation would be even smoother.
By then, she could appear openly before the world with Lu Changsheng, and no longer need to wrong their daughter.
“Fairy… it’s time to Cultivate.”
A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
The ‘Yin Yang Dao Seed’ that Lu Changsheng condensed for Xiao Xiyue still needed continuous improvement in compatibility, so this trip also carried a mission.
With that, Lu Changsheng embraced the cool and pure Fairy Xiyue, inhaling the faint fragrance like a sacred lotus, leaning close to her fair and flawless face, lowering his head to capture her soft red lips, and gripping her smooth, full form with his five fingers.
“Mm~”
A moment later, the Fairy’s silken hair was disheveled, her ribbons undone, and her dress scattered.
The spring river tide meets the sea, and the moon rises with the tide.
Xiao Xiyue’s beautiful eyes were full of tender affection, with a charming spring allure and captivating charm.
Her cool, pure jade-like face and body possessed both the vivid, shy pink of beauty and the noble elegance of purity, along with an undeniable charming allure.
Her slightly parted red lips, like sandalwood, whispered of their entwined hearts.
As the saying goes, a pot of muddy wine brings joyous reunion, and all matters are entrusted to Cultivation!
After helping Xiao Xiyue Cultivate, Lu Changsheng then went to see Zhao Qingqing, and later arranged to meet Chu Qingyi.
While expressing his longing to her, Lu Changsheng asked if Qingyun Sect had received news of Great Dream Immortal City changing hands.
Upon confirmation, Lu Changsheng directly and frankly revealed the matter of Great Dream Immortal City.
“Fellow Daoist Lu is the new City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City!?”
Chu Qingyi said with a surprised expression.
Not long ago, Qingyun Sect had only just received the news of Great Dream Immortal City changing hands.
However, such matters were of great importance, and they couldn’t immediately confirm if it was true, or if Meng Wuhen and his wife had deliberately released false information.
She never expected that Lu Changsheng was the new City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City!
However, considering Lu Changsheng’s performance in Jin Country and his strength, it was plausible for him to govern an Immortal City.
It was just that this matter was too sudden.
“Yes, I made a deal with Meng Wuhen and his wife. They are preparing to leave and Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, so they half-sold and half-gifted the Immortal City to me.”
Having known Chu Qingyi for so long, Lu Changsheng trusted her and briefly explained the situation.
“Although Great Dream Immortal City is in a remote location, Heaven Sword Sect will not stand idly by while a person of unknown origin takes charge of the Immortal City, especially at this critical juncture.”
“So, besides some Core Formation Loose Cultivators who might covet the Immortal City, Heaven Sword Sect will most likely send people to probe, Fellow Daoist Lu should still be careful.”
Chu Qingyi gently pursed her red lips and reminded him.
The change of ownership of Great Dream Immortal City had no impact on their Qingyun Sect.
But with the Wilderness War about to begin, Heaven Sword Sect would not allow any unstable factors to emerge during this period.
“Qingyi, what is Heaven Sword Sect’s attitude towards Great Dream Immortal City?”
Lu Changsheng inquired.
Meng Wuhen and his wife had mentioned this to him.
As long as he showed goodwill and wasn’t from a neighboring Demonic Path force, there would generally be no problems.
“Heaven Sword Sect does not mind Jiang Country having more Core Formation forces; in fact, they welcome such a situation.”
“Because only then can Jiang Country become more prosperous.”
“However, for uncontrollable and unstable factors, Heaven Sword Sect might take swift and decisive action to directly suppress them.”
Chu Qingyi said after a slight pause for thought.
As the overlord of Jiang Country, Heaven Sword Sect still possessed a broad mind and the demeanor of a ruler.
They were willing to see a hundred flowers bloom, rather than just one.
This could be seen from their willingness to be listed alongside Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Yu Ling Sect as the Four Great Immortal Sects.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, as long as you explain the situation and show goodwill, I don’t think there will be any issues.”
“If it really doesn’t work, Fellow Daoist Lu could consider revealing the matters of Jin Country and Yinming Ghost Sect, but if that news gets out, it might attract Yinming Ghost Sect.”
Chu Qingyi continued.
Unless something truly outrageous or against Heaven Sword Sect’s commands occurred, Heaven Sword Sect rarely intervened directly.
Just like how Qingluan Immortal City had so many issues, Heaven Sword Sect did not directly intervene, and even came forward to maintain and stabilize the Immortal City’s situation.
“Hmm.”
Seeing that Chu Qingyi’s statement was similar to what Meng Wuhen and his wife had said, Lu Changsheng nodded.
Immediately, the two shared some tender moments and reminisced.
However, the Yin and Yang Qi had been used for Xiao Xiyue not long ago and had not yet recovered.
Fortunately, Chu Qingyi did not inquire about this matter, merely biting her pink lips in silence.
Several days later, Lu Changsheng and Chu Qingyi parted ways.
After returning to Bihu Mountain, he no longer delayed.
He brought Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, Bai Ling, his daughter Lu Baixi, Lu Wangshu, Lu Lingxiao, as well as Lu Qingyan, Lu Qingsong, and Lu Mingfeng to Great Dream Immortal City.
As for Lu Miaoyun, there were still some matters at Bihu Mountain that required her attention.
Furthermore, if he were to bring Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen on a long journey, his Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus would be under heavy load, unable to function as a second Dantian.
Meng Xiaochun was considered due to her pregnancy.
As the Immortal City’s situation was not yet settled, and the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine gathered Luck at Lu, she should first rest and nurture her pregnancy well in the Xumi Grotto-heaven, and they would discuss it after the child was born.
With the Mi Chen Banner, when he returned this time, he would integrate another small Mi Chen Banner into the Great Dream Immortal City’s earth脉, making travel between the two sides very convenient.
“Father, is this your spiritual pet mount?”
Lu Wangshu’s eyes immediately lit up when she saw the radiant, majestic, and awe-inspiring Golden Winged Roc, constantly scrutinizing it.
“Yes.”
Lu Changsheng glanced at her, then released the carriage he had prepared earlier, instructing the Golden Winged Roc to carry the carriage towards Great Dream Immortal City.
Although Lu Lingxiao, Lu Qingyan, Lu Qingsong, and Lu Mingfeng knew their Father was extraordinary.
But when they personally witnessed their Father being a Core Formation True Person and possessing a third-tier spiritual pet, they were still incredibly shocked, their emotions unable to calm down for a long time.
Mainly, such a matter was simply too astonishing!
However, after learning that their Father was a Core Formation True Person, many of their doubts were resolved.
They understood why Lu had so many Foundation Establishment Pills, rare resources, Cultivation Technique Legacies, and so on.
“This trip to Great Dream Immortal City…”
Lu Changsheng planned to let a few of his children gain some experience first, so he didn’t tell them that he was the City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City.
He merely stated that he knew the City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, and this trip was to send them there for tempering, where they could take up positions in the Immortal City or choose an island.
Hearing this, the few of them had no objections.
Especially Lu Qingsong and Lu Qingyan, who looked ashamed.
Lu had given them the task of establishing a branch Family in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, but they had been unable to complete it and had suffered setbacks outside.
They believed it was precisely because they had performed so poorly and failed the task that their Father had resorted to this measure, moving them to a different location.
