Chapter 627: Cross the Damengze and Xingxiu Sea!

Chapter 625: Crossing the Great Dream Marsh, Star Constellation Sea!

Ten days later.

Great Dream Immortal City, City Lord’s Mansion.

“Lang Jun, you’re back.”

“Lu Lang, Father, Father.”

Ling Zixiao, Meng Xiaochun, and others cried out happily when they saw Lu Changsheng.

Lu Linghe, Lu Baixi, and Lu Mengchan had been brought back to the Immortal City by Meng Xiaochun shortly after Lu Changsheng left for Jin Yang Sect.

After all, her daughter had never left her side since childhood and missed her terribly, and Lu Baixi also missed her mother, Bai Ling.

“Xiao Chan, you should study this Cultivation Technique.”

Reunited and enjoying the warmth of their Family, Lu Changsheng gave his wife, Meng Xiaochun, the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment chapters of the “Wan E Du Ling Secret Canon.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give her the full text.

Rather, Cultivation Techniques of this level could not be contained in ordinary Jade Slips.

Even the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment chapters were only barely imprinted by Lu Changsheng using his Nascent Soul Divine Soul and a high-quality Jade Slip.

Therefore, the subsequent Cultivation Techniques had to be taught to Meng Xiaochun orally, little by little.

However, the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment chapters were enough for now; Meng Xiaochun could read them first and teach their daughter later.

“What a profound Cultivation Technique!”

After Meng Xiaochun took it, she just glanced at it and couldn’t help but be stunned, becoming engrossed in it.

She felt it was several, even dozens of times more profound than her own “Ten Thousand Poison True Scripture.”

The Ten Thousand Poison True Scripture seemed to be just a simplified version of this Cultivation Technique.

“This is a Cultivation Technique I obtained during my recent trip outside, called the “Wan E Du Ling Secret Canon.” I can’t fully copy and imprint it yet. This Cultivation Technique is not only profound but can also resolve Meng’er’s Eradication Poison Body.”

Lu Changsheng said to his wife.

“Resolve Meng’er’s Eradication Poison Body!”

Meng Xiaochun was overjoyed and incomparably excited upon hearing this.

Ever since she married Lu Changsheng, she felt she had no regrets in this life.

But after learning that her daughter, Lu Mengchan, had the Eradication Poison Body, a few worries crept into her heart.

Although her daughter could still Cultivate like a normal person without resolving the Eradication Poison Body.

How could she be content with having a top-tier spiritual body but not using it?

Moreover, once she embarked on the immortal path, she might inadvertently come into contact with some kind of potent poison in the future, thus resolving the Eradication Poison Body.

“Hmm, you should read this Cultivation Technique for a while. After I send Quanzhen back, I’ll teach you and Mengmeng how to Cultivate.”

Lu Changsheng said gently, looking at his daughter not far away, who had delicate eyebrows and cherry lips, an exquisite nose, wore a purple robe, and had a bun with dangling hair. Her appearance was delicate and charming, making her endearing.

His daughter was so grown up now; her Heart-Nature should be much stronger, right?

Besides, she was with Lu Linghe and Lu Baixi every day, so she should have made considerable progress, right?

Don’t look at his daughter Lu Linghe, who was always cheerfully silly; her Heart-Nature and perseverance were quite good, possessing an unyielding tenacity.

His daughter Lu Baixi usually kept a cold little face, like a finely carved jade ice doll, keeping people at a distance, but her talent, Comprehension Ability, and Dao Heart were all top-tier.

Aside from her Bloodline Legacy, almost nothing could stump her on a daily basis. She never complained about anything she did and even had an innate passion for Cultivation.

Moreover, through her sparring with Lu Linghe and learning from the Golden Winged Roc, Lu Changsheng felt that this daughter also had a few traces of toughness and wildness in her bones.

It was just that their Family education and her mother Bai Ling’s influence caused this wildness to be hidden deep within her, making her appear calm and quiet on ordinary days.

“Father, what’s wrong?”

Lu Mengchan saw Lu Changsheng looking at her and obediently called out. Her clear, pure big eyes seemed a bit watery, and her pink lips were slightly pursed, as if she was a little shy and uneasy.

Although Lu Changsheng deeply cared for this daughter, he was often busy throughout the year, and he still spent more time apart from his daughter than with her, so they weren’t close and natural enough.

“Nothing much, just missing my Mengmeng.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Father, what about me!”

Lu Linghe immediately came over, endearing herself.

“Of course, I miss you too.”

Lu Changsheng, as usual, gave his children a small gift after returning home from his travels.

Next to him, Lu Baixi’s small face was indifferent, her platinum-colored eyes showing only a desire for learning.

Among the three sisters, she was the smallest in stature, yet she appeared the most mature.

That evening, after the deed.

Lu Changsheng and Honglian talked about Qingluan True Monarch.

“Your concubine only had a brief chat with Qingluan True Monarch. When dealing with such intelligent people, it’s better not to be too explicit about many things; they need to deduce and discern on their own…”

Honglian’s raven hair was disheveled like a waterfall, her beautiful eyes gleamed with shimmering light, enchanting and captivating. Her perfectly proportioned, exquisite jade body glowed with a hazy, crystalline luster, and she was drenched in sweat.

Lu Changsheng had fused his Divine Soul with Honglian early on and knew some information about the Central Continent Saint King and the Dragon Emperor Dao Body, so he asked, “Is there any information about Central Continent in the South Desolate?”

“I’m not sure either, but according to some records, in ancient times, the East Sea, West Desert, South Desolate, North Plains, and Central Continent had a lot of communication and interaction.”

“It’s just that for some unknown reason, the communication gradually ceased, and even many ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays were destroyed or abandoned for unknown reasons.”

“Since the South Desolate had interactions with Central Continent in ancient times, there must be relevant information recorded. As long as Qingluan True Monarch puts her mind to searching, it’s still possible to find some fragmented information.”

Honglian said softly.

At the Nascent Soul Realm, as long as one is willing to spend time and effort, finding rare ancient texts and secrets is not difficult.

It’s just that many records, with the passage of time, are half-true and half-false, and no one knows what is real or fake.

For example, regarding the Central Continent Saint King and the Dragon Emperor Dao Body, Honglian only believed that such a top-tier existence once existed, but whether it was exactly as she knew was unknown.

After all, information can become increasingly convoluted during transmission.

However, many times, it is precisely this kind of half-true, half-false information that makes people ponder endlessly.

“Hmm.”

After finishing his Cultivation, Lu Changsheng discussed the ancient mysteries of the Cultivation World, ancient secrets, various legends, and anecdotes with Honglian.

Lu Changsheng listened with great interest to the deeds of the Central Continent Saint King and the Dragon Emperor Dao Body.

Although he had no interest in imperial hierarchy.

He was very interested in the concept of a Family ruling the world, where the Luck of the world converged on one Family or clan.

Although Luck was ethereal and elusive.

After so many years of Cultivation, through the subtle effects of the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine, Lu Changsheng still believed in it very much.

For example, over the past decade or so, he could clearly feel that the quality of the Bihu Mountain Lu Family Disciples was improving.

Moreover, the Cultivation and Breakthroughs of the Lu Family Disciples were relatively smoother compared to families like Qingzhu Mountain and Hundred Birds Lake.

Excluding various factors, Lu Changsheng believed it was somewhat related to the Luck invisibly gathered by the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine.

This was just the Luck gathered by one spiritual vine.

If the Luck of the world could be concentrated in one clan or Family, wouldn’t his Family be favored by heaven and earth, with Sons of Luck appearing every few days?

In such a situation, whether it was the birth of spiritual bodies, top-tier talented Disciples, or the Cultivation and Breakthroughs of Disciples, or their experiences outside, they could all receive subtle protection.

However, regarding these matters, Honglian had only heard rumors and could only treat them as interesting stories.

Unless he truly drew a Cultivation Technique or a supreme treasure that could gather the Luck of the world, even a Nascent Soul True Lord could not control Luck.

Lu Changsheng did not delay. After replenishing the Magic Treasure Origin for Ling Zixiao’s companion Magic Treasure, he took Lu Quanzhen to the Star Constellation Sea.

“Whoosh—”

The Golden Winged Roc was like a golden divine rainbow, riding the wind and waves, stirring up endless Divine Might.

After a long while, the Golden Winged Roc stopped above a deep sea and let out a cry.

“Hmm?”

Lu Quanzhen immediately looked around with a vigilant expression.

“The gray mist in the depths of the Great Dream Marsh significantly suppresses magical power and Divine Sense. Even if the Golden Peng were to pass through, it would be extremely strenuous, and I am unsure of the specific conditions after passing through the Great Dream Marsh.”

“So, it’s better to switch to another Spirit Beast for travel.”

Lu Changsheng explained to his son.

Although he was confident in crossing the Great Dream Marsh, for the sake of caution, he still used the Rift Sea Mystic Whale as transportation.

“Switch to another Spirit Beast for travel?”

Lu Quanzhen’s heart skipped a beat, and his expression was surprised and doubtful.

The next moment, he felt a terrifying Qi as deep as an abyss and as formidable as a prison.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

The calm sea surface trembled wildly, as if boiling and roaring, surging violently in all directions, stirring up Rolling monstrous waves, like a tsunami.

Then, a colossal black shadow tore through the sea, slowly revealing a dark, deep, and cold sound, exuding a suppressed and terrifying Aura of majesty.

Lu Changsheng briefly sized up the Rift Sea Mystic Whale before him.

Its overall appearance hadn’t changed much.

But upon closer inspection, one could see that its dark scales, like profound iron from outside the heavens, had an additional layer of ancient and mysterious Dragon-shaped patterns, faintly discernible, profound yet natural.

Its two massive eyes, like black holes, now resembled the vertical pupils of a Two-Headed Flood Dragon, with a hint of cold, intimidating luster that made one’s Soul tremble and body turn cold just by looking at them.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Changsheng said to Lu Quanzhen, took a step, and landed on the Rift Sea Mystic Whale’s enormous body.

“This is Father’s Spirit Beast for travel?”

Lu Quanzhen was shocked.

He was already incredibly amazed by the Golden Winged Roc.

He didn’t expect his Father to also have a Spirit Beast with an Aura even more terrifying than the Golden Winged Roc.

In the endless waters of the Great Dream Marsh, such a top-tier Demon King must be an absolute overlord, right?

He swallowed, suppressed the shock in his heart, and came to his Father’s side.

The Golden Winged Roc, covered in golden runes, shrunk at a visible speed and then landed on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Changsheng motioned to the Rift Sea Mystic Whale to head towards the Sea Eye, then looked at Lu Quanzhen and said, “This is the Rift Sea Mystic Whale, the true foundation of our Family guarding this water domain of the Great Dream Marsh.”

“Just as we can cross the Great Dream Marsh to go to the Star Constellation Sea, Cultivators from the Star Constellation Sea can also come here. So, this trip to send you to the Star Constellation Sea is to understand the situation on both sides.”

“My request for you to inquire about the Black Dragon Sect and pay attention to Fourth-Order Dragon-type Heaven And Earth Treasures is also to help the Rift Sea Mystic Whale break through to the Fourth-Order as soon as possible.”

Now that Lu Quanzhen had broken through to Core Formation and gained strength, Lu Changsheng would naturally tell him some of the Family’s secrets and foundational information.

Knowing the Family’s situation not only gave him confidence when outside but also broadened his horizons and knowledge.

“Please rest assured, Father.”

Lu Quanzhen stood on the Rift Sea Mystic Whale, a Peak Third-Order Demon King, gazing at the magnificent, boundless waves. Amidst his surging emotions, an indescribable sense of lofty ambition also welled up within him.

Although riding the Rift Sea Mystic Whale was very interesting, after a long time, it became quite boring.

Lu Changsheng gave a Spirit Eye Spring to Lu Quanzhen, then entered the Rift Sea Mystic Whale’s stomach chamber to rest and Cultivate.

Unfortunately, this kind of stomach chamber, the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, still had its limitations; it couldn’t Cultivate Spiritual Veins like the Xumi Grotto-heaven, serving as a true portable Immortal Cave.

Therefore, besides comprehending the power of the Void Realm, Lu Changsheng could only simply meditate, or experience the “Wan E Du Ling Secret Canon” and preview the “Vatican Devil True Saint Art.”

“Whoosh—”

After entering the deep sea, the Rift Sea Mystic Whale’s speed was very fast. The dark fin blade standing on its back was like a giant axe, causing the surging blue waves to roll to both sides, forming a magnificent waterway.

The Great Dream Marsh had no Fourth-Order Demon Kings. The Rift Sea Mystic Whale’s Peak Third-Order Aura permeated the area. Unless it actively went to seize other Demon Kings’ Immortal Caves or territories, basically no Demon King would attack it.

It took a month and a half for the Rift Sea Mystic Whale to arrive at the Sea Eye where the Great Dream Marsh merged into the Star Constellation Sea.

This Sea Eye possessed a quasi-Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein and was occupied by a top-tier Third-Order Sea Beast.

“Roar!!!”

Upon sensing the Rift Sea Mystic Whale’s Aura, this Demon King immediately took it as a provocation, roaring and howling, stirring up endless towering waves and tsunamis, rumbling loudly with a magnificent Aura.

The Rift Sea Mystic Whale was not to be outdone. Its terrifying quasi-Fourth-Order Aura permeated the area, overturning rivers and seas, forming countless seawater into tornado tsunamis, striking ten thousand-foot high waves.

Lu Changsheng, who was in the stomach chamber, sensed the commotion and came out.

“If this Sea Eye were used as a fishing spot, I wonder how many Demon Kings could be caught.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng made the Great Luo Sword Embryo appear in his hand. A brilliant sword light soared into the sky, dazzling and peerless, grand and vast, creating a deep gully in the endless waters, as if cutting the Great Dream Marsh in half.

At the same time, the Yin Yang One Qi Great Capturing Hand and Golden Winged Roc appeared.

A moment later, this Demon King let out a wail.

Lu Changsheng did not kill it; he only made it offer a small portion of its essence blood as compensation, then released it.

As his Cultivation Realm improved, with a single thought, he could control the lifespan of countless living beings. Lu Changsheng increasingly understood that Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life and did not wish to wantonly create slaughter.

However, after glancing at the Sea Eye’s nest, Lu Changsheng gave his assessment: “Poor demon!”

Fishing in the Sea Eye, if one couldn’t catch enough Heaven And Earth Treasure, then it would be meaningless!

“Let’s go.”

Lu Changsheng signaled the Rift Sea Mystic Whale to continue on its way.

“Is this the Star Constellation Sea?”

Two days later, Lu Changsheng felt that the vast blue sea before him, and the Heaven and Earth Qi, had slight differences from the Great Dream Marsh, realizing that he had arrived at the Star Constellation Sea.

However, the Star Constellation Sea before him was not much different from the Great Dream Marsh; it was still permeated with mist, interfering with and affecting Cultivators’ Divine Sense and Magic Power.

The only difference, if any, was that the seawater was even deeper and bluer, and there were slightly more islands, with islands of varying sizes connected, jagged rocks, and surging waves.

“By the looks of it, no one lives here; it’s an undeveloped area.”

Lu Changsheng murmured as he looked at these reef islands.

Lu Quanzhen also walked out of the stomach chamber, surveying this mysterious sea area.

After observing for a moment, knowing that this place was like the deep sea of the Great Dream Marsh, the two continued their monotonous and boring journey.

Although it was just to send Lu Quanzhen to the Star Constellation Sea.

But to let him explore on his own now, he would likely die halfway. They definitely needed to find an island with living people to understand the situation.

As they entered the Star Constellation Sea, Lu Changsheng realized the biggest difference between the two water regions!

There were more Demon Kings here.

Along the way, the Rift Sea Mystic Whale encountered several top-tier Demon Kings provocations, and even a quasi-Fourth-Order Demon King.

If Lu Changsheng hadn’t held the Great Luo Sword Embryo to deter it, that quasi-Fourth-Order Demon King probably wouldn’t have retreated so easily.

“It seems those two Void Kuns from before came from the Star Constellation Sea.”

Lu Changsheng thought of the two Void Kuns that had attacked the Rift Sea Mystic Whale and seized the Sea Eye earlier.

At that time, one Void Kun escaped, and he didn’t know if he would encounter it in the Star Constellation Sea.

Lu Changsheng was very much coveting its void crystal.

If he could obtain more void crystals, it would be much simpler to absorb Void Realm fragments and condense a domain later.

After realizing that there were many Demon Kings in the Star Constellation Sea, Lu Changsheng also signaled the Rift Sea Mystic Whale to be more low-key, as encountering a Fourth-Order Demon King would be troublesome.

Having witnessed the strength of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Two-Headed Flood Dragon, Lu Changsheng deeply understood the terror of a Fourth-Order Demon King.

Half a month later, as the mist on the sea surface gradually thinned, the number of Demon Kings also decreased significantly.

Lu Changsheng suspected that this hazy mist belonged to a natural environment suitable for sea beasts.

“Hmm!? There are people ahead.”

Just then, Lu Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged beside the Rift Sea Mystic Whale’s dorsal fin, suddenly opened his eyes, sensing the Aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

“It seems this place is almost the true Star Constellation Sea!”

Lu Changsheng immediately became invigorated, signaling the Rift Sea Mystic Whale to head towards the Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s location.

The information Meng Wuhen had given him about the Star Constellation Sea was only general, without any detailed sea charts.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t need to be so troublesome.

At this moment, on a cliff battered by giant waves, a pale-faced, disheveled, and tattered-robed woman sat cross-legged.

Just then, she suddenly felt a terrifying Aura sweeping towards her direction, and her pale face instantly turned ashen: “Is Heaven trying to destroy me, Shen Wanzhao?!”

The next moment, she saw giant waves Rolling, and a massive, terrifying giant whale appeared.

“Hmm?”

She saw a handsome, unparalleled, tall and slender young man in a green robe, standing with his hands behind his back, like an exiled immortal, on the giant whale.

Even though she realized this man was terrifying, possibly a Nascent Soul True Lord!

But his serene and detached demeanor, like an orchid or a jade tree, inexplicably stirred her heart, making her feel that he was a gentleman and a good person.

“Where is this place, and who are you?”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward, directly passing through the simple Formation on the cliff, appearing before Shen Wanzhao, and asked.

“Hmm?”

Shen Wanzhao was stunned, her heart filled with inexplicable dread, but she still honestly said: “Reporting, Senior, this place is the ‘Mist Sea’ of the Star Constellation Sea, near the territory of the Overturning Sea Sect, the Flying Swallow Islands.”

“This junior, Shen Wanzhao, is a Disciple of the Goddess Palace on Penglai Island. I encountered an ambush and accidentally fled here. If Senior is willing to help, my Penglai Island will surely offer a generous reward!”

She stated her identity and Origin, hoping to deter him.

“Overturning Sea Sect, Penglai Island.”

According to the information Meng Wuhen provided, Lu Changsheng knew that these two forces were both Nascent Soul-level forces.

“Do you have a sea chart of these nearby islands, or a map of this area?”

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

“Yes, I do.”

Shen Wanzhao immediately offered a Jade Slip, realizing that this Senior was not a Cultivator from the Star Constellation Sea.

According to some legends, the Star Constellation Sea had many Mist Sea regions.

These Mist Sea regions were very dangerous, infested with Yao Beasts. It was rumored that the depths of the Mist Sea were forbidden zones and desolate lands, and there were also rumors that passing through the Mist Sea led to an even vaster and richer Cultivation World.

Lu Changsheng took the Jade Slip and examined it with his Divine Sense.

The sea chart was a bit rough, but barely usable. It indicated that after about ten to half a month more of travel, they could reach the so-called Flying Swallow Islands.

“Not bad, this will be your thanks.”

Lu Changsheng saw that the other party’s injuries were quite severe. He gently raised his hand, and the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone circulated, sending out a surging and powerful healing divine light.

In an instant, Shen Wanzhao felt as if she were bathing in her mother’s womb, a warm force of vitality nourishing her limbs, Dantian, and Qi Sea.

A moment later, her injuries were completely healed.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Shen Wanzhao immediately bowed respectfully, feeling a few more points of closeness towards Lu Changsheng before her.

“No need to thank me. This is just the reward you deserve.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, his gentle, jade-like eyes suddenly becoming dark and profound, causing Shen Wanzhao’s expression to freeze, her eyes losing focus.

Then, he continued to inquire about some situations in the Star Constellation Sea.

However, this woman had only just started her training journey; she knew quite a bit about the Star Constellation Sea, but not much in detailed specifics.

After a long while, Lu Changsheng again cast the Six Desires Heart Demon Art, altering her recent memories.

He hadn’t disguised himself on this trip.

So, for the sake of caution, he still modified her memories concerning his appearance and the Rift Sea Mystic Whale, making it seem as if she had found a qiyou flower, and after consuming it, her injuries healed, but she had fainted.

After finishing, Lu Changsheng quietly departed with the Rift Sea Mystic Whale, then called Lu Quanzhen, who was Cultivating in the stomach chamber, and threw the Jade Slip to him, briefly explaining the situation here.

At the same time, Shen Wanzhao on the cliff slowly woke up, looking around warily, then rubbed her somewhat muddled forehead: “I was actually teleported to the Mist Sea by a Transfer Talisman. Luckily, I found a qiyou flower, which quickly healed my injuries.”

“Eh? How could there be a qiyou flower here? I was still a bit reckless. How dangerous would it have been if a Yao Beast appeared while I was unconscious? I wonder when my godmother will arrive…”

Shen Wanzhao lightly pursed her red lips, her heart tense and uneasy.

She hadn’t expected to encounter such danger on her first outdoor training journey, needing to ask her godmother for help.

Half a month later, Lu Changsheng brought Lu Quanzhen to the Flying Swallow Islands.

It must be said that the Star Constellation Sea was vast; just the territory under the Overturning Sea Sect alone was almost comparable to Jiang Country.

However, the communication between islands in such sea territories was very troublesome and dangerous, similar to the Great Dream Marsh.

Ordinary Mortals or low-level Cultivators might never be able to leave their respective islands in their entire lives.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Quanzhen disguised themselves and came to a larger island to understand the situation.

“Quanzhen, the Lu still has matters, so Father will return first. If you encounter danger, crush this ‘Substitute Talisman.’ It will most likely allow you to escape from anything below the Nascent Soul Realm. You can send a message to Father if anything happens.”

After briefly understanding the situation here, Lu Changsheng prepared to return.

He had drawn several top-tier Third-Order Talismans using the Flood Dragon essence blood and scales he had traded from Qingluan True Monarch earlier.

However, time was limited, and the method of nurturing Talismans had only barely reached the quasi-Fourth-Order, so he gave a quasi-Fourth-Order Substitute Talisman to his son for survival.

After all, the Star Constellation Sea was a chaotic place with many powerful factions, and even with his son’s Core Formation Cultivation, there would still be dangers.

“Please rest assured, Father!”

Lu Quanzhen bowed in response, believing that this Star Constellation Sea was very suitable for him, and was full of anticipation for the journey ahead.
