Chapter 597: Lu Minghuang was born, and the Nascent Soul was struck by thunder!

“Dad!”

Lu Wangshu looked at the large figure gradually appearing before her, feeling a heavy and oppressive aura permeating the air, and subconsciously grabbed her father’s wrist.

“Don’t be afraid, this is the spirit pet I’m lending you.”

Lu Changsheng found his daughter’s appearance somewhat amusing.

However, the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale, whether in appearance or aura, did indeed give people an unparalleled shock.

“What, this is your spirit pet, Dad!?”

Lu Wangshu looked at the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale, whose body was emerging from the water, causing waves to surge, her expression filled with surprise, doubt, and disbelief.

Although she had extraordinary knowledge,

apart from the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, Sumeru Tree King, and Sea Spirit Flood Dragon, she had never truly witnessed a third-order demon king.

Moreover, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and Sumeru Tree King usually concealed their demonic aura, so she didn’t feel much when looking at them, never having witnessed the true ferocity of a demon king.

But the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale was completely different.

Although its power was already greatly restrained,

its massive body, entirely dark and covered in cold scales,

cutting through the sea, with neatly arranged dark fin blades on its back, like sharp sword mountains,

and a curved, hook-like black-gold horn on its round forehead,

its huge pupils like black hole vortexes, and its massive mouth like a chaotic abyss of knives,

all brought an unprecedented shock to Lu Wangshu!

Too scary!

“What do you think? How is this spirit pet?”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, bringing his daughter to the huge head of the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale.

Lu Wangshu was still stunned, looking at the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale before her.

Here in the Daze, she had explored the seabed with Lu Lingxiao and Lu Linghe and had seen many demon beasts.

She had even seen quite a few quasi-third-order demon beasts.

But compared to the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale before her, quasi-third-order demon beasts were simply like infant cubs.

However, as Lu Changsheng’s beloved daughter, trusting her father, she was stunned for a moment before happily saying, “Dad, are you really going to lend me this spirit pet!”

With such a demon king, wouldn’t she be able to roam freely in the Daze!

In the past, when exploring the deep sea, there were many places she didn’t dare to go, and she had to run away quickly when she saw quasi-third-order demon beasts.

But now…

Thinking of this, Lu Wangshu couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

“If you like it, of course, there’s no problem.”

Lu Changsheng gently stroked his daughter’s hair and said softly, then asked the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale how its injuries were.

“Master, my injuries have recovered a lot, and under the dragon essence you gave me, my bloodline has been improved.”

The Rifting Sea Xuan Whale said, its words revealing a desire for the Black Dragon’s origin.

It felt that if it had enough dragon essence, it could advance to the Rifting Sea Xuan Dragon Whale and quickly break through to the fourth order.

“Bloodline improvement…”

Lu Changsheng naturally knew that the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale was only one step away from advancing to a true spirit-level bloodline.

If it could obtain natural treasures related to the True Dragon, the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale would have the chance to advance to—the Rifting Sea Xuan Dragon Whale!

“The Black Dragon’s origin is gone, I’ll see if there are any natural treasures in this regard in the future.”

If possible, Lu Changsheng naturally wanted the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale to advance to the fourth order as soon as possible.

Once the latter advanced to the fourth order, he would be the true overlord of the Daze!

Even if the Heavenly Sword Sect came, he would not be afraid.

“The previous dragon essence came from the Black Dragon Sect. Judging from the situation of this dragon essence, the Black Dragon Sect should have more than one dragon essence. I wonder if it can be traded.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, thinking that if he went to the Star Sea in the future, he could go to the Black Dragon Sect to take a look.

If he could trade for a few dragon essences, it would be of great help, even if it didn’t directly allow the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale to evolve.

“Dad, what’s the name of this spirit pet?”

Lu Wangshu happily looked at the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale before her.

Its previously ferocious and terrifying appearance was now incomparably domineering in her eyes.

“Hmm…”

Lu Changsheng looked at the entirely dark Rifting Sea Xuan Whale before him, stroked his chin, and then said, “You can call it Big Black, or shout, ‘Come out, Rifting Sea Xuan Dragon!’”

“…”

Lu Wangshu looked at her old father speechlessly.

If Xiao He gave such a name, she could understand.

But her father…

Forget it.

Lu Wangshu curled her delicate lips, too lazy to complain.

“Hmm, isn’t this name good? Simple and easy to understand.”

Lu Changsheng felt that his daughter didn’t know how to appreciate it and didn’t know what was called the Great Dao to Simplicity.

“Dad, my name was given by Mom, right?”

Lu Wangshu suddenly asked.

“How could that be? Your name was something I thought about for a long time back then.”

Lu Changsheng flicked his daughter’s fair forehead, not joking with her, and said, “You can play in this area with the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale, but don’t go any deeper.”

“Going deeper, there are many late third-order demon kings.”

“Moreover, at the intersection of the Daze and the Star Sea, there is now a top third-order demon king and a quasi-fourth-order demon king. Big Black suffered at the hands of these two demon kings before.”

Lu Changsheng instructed his daughter, also signaling the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale not to seek revenge for the time being and wait for his news.

Then, if there was any situation, activate the sensory talisman he gave her.

“Top third-order demon king, quasi-fourth-order demon king!”

Lu Wangshu’s beautiful eyes were surprised.

Not only was she surprised that the Daze had such terrifying demon beasts,

but she was also surprised that the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale under her feet could actually face such top demon kings!

Wouldn’t that mean that the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale was at least a late third-order demon king?

“Hmph, Dad has indeed broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!”

Lu Wangshu thought secretly in her heart.

Before, when she saw her father suppress a Core Formation cultivator with a wave of his hand, she had suspected this.

Now that she saw the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale, she was even more convinced.

“Well, you can play here. When it’s about time, have Big Black send you back, but try not to appear near the Immortal City.”

“By the way, this is a Water Avoidance Bead. As long as you don’t enter the ten-thousand-zhang deep sea, it consumes almost no mana.”

As Lu Changsheng spoke, he handed a fourth-order Water Avoidance Bead to his daughter and then signaled her to play here on her own.

With the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale, he was still relieved about his daughter’s safety.

If she really encountered danger, the Rifting Sea Xuan Whale could completely swallow her into its stomach chamber to ensure her safety.

“Thank you, Daddy!”

Lu Wangshu immediately expressed her thanks with a sweet smile.

Since he had already come out, Lu Changsheng didn’t want to make the trip in vain.

He took this time to find a third-order flood dragon with similar attributes to the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao soldier.

However, just at this moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a mysterious and profound, intense palpitation.

He was naturally very familiar with this palpitation.

Subconsciously, he looked towards the direction of the Jin Kingdom.

He seemed to hear the cry of an infant.

“Minghuang is born…”

Calculating the time, Nangong Mili’s child had also been in her womb for a year and eight months.

It was normal for him to be born now.

“However… only a first-grade spiritual root.”

Based on the palpitation of this spiritual root, Lu Changsheng judged that this son should have a first-grade spiritual root.

“System!”

He was somewhat unwilling and silently recited in his heart, finding Nangong Mili from the system interface.

Sure enough.

There was an additional infant under her name.

【Name: Lu Minghuang】

【Lifespan: 1 / 103】

【Talent: First-Grade Spiritual Root】

【Cultivation: None】

【Ability: Refinement Compatibility (40%)】

“So it really is just a first-grade spiritual root…”

Seeing this son’s talent, Lu Changsheng was somewhat disappointed.

After all, this son was born to him and Nangong Mili, two Core Formation cultivators. The process involved taking many nourishing fetal spiritual medicines, and the pregnancy ultimately lasted for a year and eight months.

But he didn’t have a spiritual body, just a first-grade spiritual root.

Although the palpitation of this spiritual root was relatively strong, almost approaching an earth-grade spiritual root, it was still just a first-grade spiritual root.

“Sigh, a first-grade spiritual root is not bad either. Childbirth is inherently a very random thing.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, adjusted his mentality, and comforted himself.

He knew that spiritual body offspring were not that simple.

Not to mention two Core Formation cultivators,

even two Nascent Soul True Monarchs wouldn’t dare to guarantee that their children would have a high probability of possessing a spiritual body.

“Minghuang has a good refinement talent. If he grows up, he can be well-trained in this area and may be able to cultivate the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art.”

“However, Nangong Mili probably won’t let her son walk the path of a refinement cultivator.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, preparing to go to the Jin Kingdom to take a look when he had time.

At the same time.

Five Poison Sect, Heavenly Spider Peak, in a secret room.

Nangong Mili, wearing a luxurious purple gauze dress, looked at the infant in her arms with a pale and weak face.

This infant was a bit stronger than ordinary infants, his appearance crystal clear and fair, like a porcelain doll.

His chubby little hand held a sacred jade cicada with a white-gold luster.

“What is going on? Why are Minghuang’s eyes golden? Could it be that Minghuang also possesses some rare spiritual body?”

Nangong Mili saw that her son’s pupils were not the usual black and white, but a golden color, like golden amber.

“And this Crystal Cicada Gu, which I clearly used to improve Minghuang’s talent, linking his life, which could be refined into a Golden Cicada Gu after he grows up, used to replace his life and block disasters, why has it become like this.”

She looked at the white jade cicada in her son’s hand again, her phoenix eyes full of doubt.

Even though she was a Core Formation cultivator, she couldn’t understand her son’s situation at this time.

But she guessed that her son was likely some kind of rare spiritual body.

And this Crystal Cicada Gu, because it was assimilated and affected by her son’s spiritual body origin, had undergone a mutation.

“Worthy of being my son, Nangong Mili’s son.”

Even though she didn’t like boys before,

at this time, mother and son were connected by blood, the overflowing maternal love in her heart, and this son’s extraordinary talent made her full of joy.

“I don’t know what kind of spiritual body Minghuang has…”

Years ago, to understand her daughter Nangong Yao Yao’s spiritual body, she had consulted many books on spiritual bodies.

But in her memory, there was no spiritual body with her son’s situation.

Jiang Kingdom, Daze.

Lu Changsheng had been searching the vast sea for nearly a month and finally found a Mo Lin Flood Dragon with similar attributes to the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao soldier.

Mid-third-order strength, possessing a mid-grade earth-level bloodline!

Lu Changsheng didn’t kill the goose that laid the golden eggs for this demon king.

He extracted half of its essence blood and then released it.

After all, no matter how many third-order demon kings there were in the Daze, they couldn’t withstand endless hunting.

Now that the Daze belonged to his own backyard, he couldn’t drain the pond to catch the fish and destroy the ecology.

However, before leaving, Lu Changsheng placed a restriction mark on it, making it convenient to find it again for blood donation in the future.

After returning to Dragon Fish Island, Lu Changsheng gave his daughter a gourd filled with diluted Flood Dragon blood essence.

“Qingyan, this contains diluted Flood Dragon blood essence. You can use it to nurture your Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao soldiers, and also use it to temper your body when needed.”

This daughter has refined the Black Dragon Source. If she can raise an army of Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao soldiers, it will be enough for her to hold down one area.

“Yes, Father!”

Lu Qingyan took the gourd and glanced at it.

Although it was diluted, she could tell from the aura that it was the blood essence of a Tier 3 demon king.

She was amazed. Could it be that her father had entered the depths of the Great Dream Marsh to hunt demon kings?

In the following days, Lu Changsheng stayed at home to accompany his wife, focusing on nurturing the Three Treasures Transformation Pearl.

During this process, Lu Changsheng realized several drawbacks of this exotic treasure.

He could only integrate supernatural powers such as the Yin-Yang One Qi Great Capturing Hand, the Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Divine Light, and the Inverted Yin-Yang Glazed Wall into this incarnation.

Other things like blood-burning secret techniques and desperate divine powers could not be integrated.

Furthermore, none of the nine great supernatural powers of his Nine Treasures Wishful Bone could be integrated into this incarnation.

“Indeed, an incarnation is just an incarnation. No matter what, its battle power cannot be exactly the same as my true self.”

Lu Changsheng mused to himself.

After observing for so long, he finally decided to have his daughter, Lu Linghe, switch from the Black Dragon Codex to the Vajra Bright King Sutra.

Although the latter had condensed her Dao foundation with the Black Dragon Codex, switching to the Diamond Bright King Sutra, which had completely different attributes, would affect the power of her spells and the benefits of her Dao foundation.

However, this daughter was indeed more suited to Buddhist cultivation methods.

Without mentioning anything else, Lu Linghe always needed his help with the Insightful Treasure Mirror when cultivating other techniques.

But she was able to quickly grasp the basics of the Vajra Bright King Sutra.

More than half a month later, Lu Wangshu returned after playing in the deep sea of the Great Dream Marsh for three months, her whole person filled with joy.

This adventure with the Cleft Sea Black Whale not only broadened her horizons but also brought her rich rewards.

“Father, what kind of spirit beast egg is this?”

Lu Wangshu released a spirit beast egg covered in blue cloud and water patterns from her spirit pet bag and asked Lu Changsheng.

However, Lu Changsheng did not know much about beast taming, so he could only ask Hong Lian for guidance.

Hong Lian immediately determined that this spirit beast egg was likely a ‘Sea Winged Dragon’ with a mid-grade Heaven-tier bloodline.

“Dad, how about this? This spirit beast egg is mine, and these are yours. In the future, we’ll split the gains from me and Big Black five-five, how’s that?”

Lu Wangshu’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately took her father’s arm, saying with a sweet smile.

She had already given up hope of nurturing the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle and decided to let nature take its course.

Now that she heard that this spirit beast egg was a Heaven-tier bloodline demon beast and also a dragon, she was immediately moved beyond compare.

She also wanted to continue exploring and searching for treasures in the Great Dream Marsh with the help of the Cleft Sea Black Whale.

After all, this process was simply too enjoyable, the vast deep sea, free to roam!

“. . ."

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter’s flattering appearance and found it somewhat amusing.

However, this daughter was indeed lucky.

In just three months, she had actually obtained a Heaven-tier spirit beast egg.

He glanced at the storage bag his daughter had handed over and pondered for a moment, saying, “That’s too little. I’ll take nine, and you take one.”

“Dad, aren’t you being too greedy!”

Lu Wangshu said with a pout.

“Even between father and daughter, accounts must be clear. My taking nine and you taking one is already a lot. If there are any treasures you particularly like, you can choose them first.”

Lu Changsheng said lightly, feeling that one-tenth of the gains was already a lot for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

“Dad, how about seven-three? You take seven, and I take three. . .”

Lu Wangshu acted coquettishly, constantly haggling, but Lu Changsheng simply wouldn’t budge.

After all, he wasn’t lacking in these things.

He simply wanted to give his daughter a chance to gain experience and broaden her horizons, but he didn’t want her to become addicted to it and lose her ambition.

After a long time of bargaining, the father and daughter finally agreed that Lu Wangshu would receive seven-tenths of the gains once her cultivation broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but for now, it would be nine-tenths for him.

Moreover, she could only use the Cleft Sea Black Whale for a maximum of three months a year.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng glanced at the storage bag his daughter had obtained and thought that the gains were still acceptable.

But considering that she had a Tier 3 top-grade demon king as a bodyguard and only had these gains, then it could only be said that they were average.

After so long of refining, Ling Zixiao had completely refined the Companion Treasure ‘All-Heaven Fiendgod Diagram’, feeling that her cultivation speed had directly increased by a level.

She circulated the Book of Changes and Harmony, absorbing the essence of the Companion Treasure.

Instantly, she felt a source of aura surge from the treasure into her entire body, into her limbs and bones, integrating into her essence, qi, and spirit.

During this process, Ling Zixiao not only made rapid progress in her cultivation, and the twelve Fiendgods were improving together, but she also felt that her spiritual body was being subtly influenced and changed!

This was the drawback of the Book of Changes and Harmony!

If she was influenced by the source of the Companion Treasure and gradually assimilated, she would only be able to follow this technique to the end in the future, and she would have to rely on the promotion of the Companion Treasure to break through.

Otherwise, if she wanted to change and switch to other techniques, she would have to abandon her foundation and rebuild.

Ling Zixiao had already made a choice regarding the technique and had not wavered.

However, she was somewhat unable to judge the subtle influence on her spiritual body and immediately reported it to Lu Changsheng.

Immediately afterward, Lu Changsheng focused on her cultivation situation throughout the entire process.

He gradually unraveled the effects of the Inverted Yin-Yang, reversed spiritual body from her early years.

“Adjustments are still needed.”

As the effects of the Dragon’s Roar Body gradually released, Lu Changsheng realized where the problem with this Companion Treasure lay.

That was, its grade had to be far higher than Ling Zixiao’s!

For example, if she was currently in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the treasure had to be at least a Low-Grade!

When she broke through to the Golden Core stage, the treasure had to be at least a High-Grade, or even a Top-Grade.

Only in this way could the assimilation effect of the Companion Treasure be used to form a balance with the Dragon’s Roar Body and be utilized.

Moreover, her Companion Treasure had to be used frequently, absorbing the essence of the Companion Treasure, and could not simply be placed aside as an auxiliary.

“In that case, Zixiao’s treasure still needs to be upgraded as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I’m away for too long, and the treasure’s source is consumed too much, it will be difficult to suppress the Dragon’s Roar Body.”

Lu Changsheng murmured to himself, realizing the difficulty of the problem.

However, since there were insufficient materials at the moment to upgrade the treasure, Lu Changsheng did not dare to fully release the effects of Ling Zixiao’s Dragon’s Roar Body.

Otherwise, by the time the other party broke through to the Golden Core stage, he would no longer be able to reverse and suppress the source of her Dragon’s Roar Body.

On this day, Lu Changsheng saw that the Three Treasures Transformation Pearl in his Qi Sea Dantian was fully nurtured.

He prepared to take Hong Lian and the Golden Winged Roc to help the Cleft Sea Black Whale get back at its attackers.

He also wanted to see if these two demon kings could be of any help to his son, Lu Quanzhen.

Lu Quanzhen’s situation could no longer be delayed.

If the blood essence obtained from this hunt was not suitable, Lu Changsheng planned to have Lu Quanzhen cultivate the Golden Core secret technique and directly attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.

“Hong Lian.”

Lu Changsheng told Hong Lian about the general situation.

Then he told Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge that he and Hong Lian were going to the depths of the Great Dream Marsh to hunt demon kings, and they should take good care of the Immortal City.

If there were any problems, they should send him a message immediately, and he would rush back through the Myriad Dust Banner.

“Husband, you must be careful.”

“Changsheng, Sister Hong Lian, please be careful.”

The two women knew that they couldn’t help much, so they simply told them to be careful.

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and left the City Lord’s Mansion with Hong Lian.

At the same time.

Jin State, Yin Underworld Ghost Sect.

At this time, the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect’s mountain gate formation was activated and running. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of miles was constantly restless and gathering.

Above the Fourth-Order spiritual vein, dark clouds rolled, tribulation clouds condensed, and arcs of lightning tore through the sky.

“What’s going on! ?”

Some cultivators saw the sudden dark mass of black clouds and felt uneasy.

Although the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect was always shrouded in dark clouds and ghostly aura.

This haze had never been like this dark mass of black clouds, as if it exuded a chilling heavenly might, intimidating the mind.

“This is a tribulation of thunder, Heavenly Thunder Tribulation! The Supreme Elder is breaking his core to form a nascent soul! ?”

Some elders of the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect realized what was happening and were overjoyed.

The Nascent Soul has three stages, the first is breaking the core and forming the infant!

After that is the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and the inner demon tribulation!

Completing the first step, breaking the core and forming the infant, has already taken the most difficult step!

The next two stages, with the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect’s thousands of years of heritage, and nearly a hundred years of preparation, they have great confidence!

“Boom!”

A bolt of purplish-blue thunder, as thick as a water tank, stirred up the nine heavens, pierced through the black sky, and fell from the sky with a deafening roar. The lightning was terrifying.

At this moment, a huge blood pool rose into the sky.

Countless Yin Qi, Ghost Qi, resentment, and sin permeated the air, forming Yin soldiers and Ghost Generals, wailing and howling, captivating the soul.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

The blood pool erupted like a volcano, and countless blood-colored magma gushed out, actively wrapping around the purplish-blue thunder.

In an instant, the lightning exploded, and blood swept across the sky, causing the entire sky to be intertwined with blood and lightning, flickering on and off.

“Boom!”

As if provoked, ten thousand zhang of lightning fell from the sky, its brilliance dazzling, filled with a terrifying aura of destruction.

However, the blood pool still stood across the sky, as if dividing the heavens and the earth, blocking the thunder tribulation from falling.

“Damn it, this old ghost possesses the Myriad Ghost Blood Pool, preferring to deplete the source of this treasure to ensure his own safety and pass the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation!”

Someone secretly watched this scene, their expression unwilling.

Demonic cultivators not only have a harder time breaking through realms.

They are also easily suppressed when facing the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

Especially the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect’s technique inheritance, which is completely suppressed by the Heavenly Tribulation, making the difficulty of transcending the tribulation three or four times harder than that of righteous cultivators.

However, some cultivators lurking in the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect saw that, in order to be safe, this Supreme Elder would rather deplete the Myriad Ghost Blood Pool to ensure that he transcended the tribulation without any problems.

However, seeing that the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect’s mountain gate formation was fully operational, and that there was another layer of forbidden formation isolating the Fourth-Order spiritual vein underground palace where the Supreme Elder was located, no one dared to make a move at this time.

At this time, unless a Nascent Soul True Monarch personally arrived, it would be difficult for Golden Core cultivators to cause any impact.
