Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 634: The Thunder Kirin Picture condenses the true form of Brahma Demon!
Lu Changsheng took the Jade Slip to examine it. Inside was a piece of ancient script, winding and resembling tadpoles or insect-like beasts.
Lu Changsheng didn’t know much about this ancient script.
If there were Qi flowing through it, with interwoven traces of Dao and principles, he could still use his Taiyi Divine Soul and Fire Eyes Golden Eyes to discern its Origin and interpret its meaning.
However, the script his son Lu Lingxiao had was merely a simple copy, making it impossible to interpret.
“This is some kind of ancient script, possibly containing certain information. Your Father doesn’t have much research in this area. You can ask your Master later.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t pretend to understand for the sake of Face.
This ancient script was profound and abstruse; even a Nascent Soul True Lord might not have studied it.
Red Lotus had some understanding in this area and might recognize it.
“Father, this is an ancient scroll we found in the Secret Realm. It seems to be a Magic Treasure and also records some Cultivation Technique Legacy, but we haven’t made any progress with the Legacy part.”
At this moment, Lu Qingxuan opened a golden jade box, revealing a purple-gold scroll inside.
Lu Lingxiao had obtained three treasures from the array gate in the Secret Realm.
The Myriad Dharma Universal Bone was directly integrated, so the remaining two were given to him and Lu Wangshu.
Although he felt that this item was too rare and very suitable for Lu Lingxiao, the latter said that he only needed a copy of the Cultivation Technique Legacy when it was transcribed.
However, after all this time, he had only gained a few simple insights.
“Let me see.”
Lu Changsheng flicked his hand, and the scroll unfurled before him.
The ancient scroll depicted a vast, dense world interwoven with purple lightning. A Qilin, completely enveloped in purple lightning, stood in a sea of thunder, roaring with raised hooves, proudly upright, exuding an aura of explosive power and destruction.
“Interesting.”
This was a High Grade Magic Treasure, but its Qi suggested it could even rival some top-tier Magic Treasures.
Lu Changsheng infused his magic power into it, and instantly the sea of thunder in the ancient scroll surged, and the Qilin seemed to awaken.
“Numbing Thunder Qilin Diagram!”
Lu Changsheng understood the effect of this Magic Treasure: it could enhance the power of Thunder Daoist Magic, unleash ten thousand feet of thunder, and summon a Numbing Thunder Qilin.
His eyes shot out two golden rays, revealing a Numbing Thunder True Intent hidden deep within the ancient scroll.
If he wished, he could obtain the Cultivation Technique Legacy contained within this True Intent through his Taiyi Divine Soul.
“This diagram is called the Numbing Thunder Qilin Diagram. It is not only a Thunder Dao Magic Treasure but also contains a Thunder Dao Legacy. However, once this Legacy’s True Intent is acquired, it becomes difficult to comprehend, so it’s best for you to comprehend it yourselves.”
Lu Changsheng said to Lu Qingxuan.
While it would be more convenient for him to obtain the Cultivation Technique and teach it to his son, it would deprive him of the Opportunity to comprehend the True Intent.
If they slowly comprehended this Numbing Thunder True Intent and obtained the Cultivation Technique Legacy themselves, it would greatly advance their understanding of the Thunder Dao.
“Yes, Father.”
Lu Qingxuan responded respectfully upon hearing this.
“With your current Realm, it’s a bit difficult to fully comprehend this Numbing Thunder True Intent. If you’re willing, you can share it with Lingxiao and others in the Family who Cultivate Thunder Dao Cultivation Techniques, and comprehend it together. Your Father will compensate you in other ways then.”
Although his son Lu Qingxuan’s Cultivation Technique was the Thunderfire Nine Secrets.
In Lu Changsheng’s view, his son Lu Lingxiao was more suitable for this Numbing Thunder True Intent and would find it easier to comprehend.
However, since his children had already made the distribution themselves, and this Numbing Thunder Qilin Diagram was part of Lu Qingxuan’s Opportunity, he naturally couldn’t take away the latter’s Opportunity.
Therefore, he hoped he would share it with Lu Lingxiao and other children in the Family who Cultivated Thunder Dao Cultivation Techniques, and he would compensate him in other ways later.
“Please rest assured, Father.”
Lu Qingxuan had already intended to share it with Lu Lingxiao, but the latter told him to comprehend it first.
“Wangshu, let me see your treasure.”
Having seen Lu Lingxiao’s Immortal Bone and Lu Qingxuan’s Numbing Thunder Qilin Diagram, he was quite curious about his daughter Lu Wangshu’s treasure.
“Here.”
Lu Wangshu slightly lifted her sleeve, revealing her fair, jade-like wrist, adorned with a string of beads that glowed with a delicate, crystalline luster, inlaid with six gems resembling demon cores.
Lu Changsheng squeezed the string of beads, examining it briefly, and discerned that it was an exotic treasure. He asked, “Does this string of beads have any special abilities or effects?”
“It has six effects: it can unleash lightning attacks, interfere with illusions, form a defensive barrier, provide healing, calm the mind, and nourish the Physical Body and magic power.”
Lu Wangshu briefly introduced the effects of the string of beads.
“Goodness.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself upon hearing this, that this exotic treasure’s abilities were truly versatile.
Attack, defense, illusion, healing, and daily self-enhancement—it could certainly be called a top-tier exotic treasure.
“Come, let me see its power.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
“Father, watch closely.”
Lu Wangshu wasn’t worried about injuring her ‘Nascent Soul True Lord’ Father and directly activated the string of beads with full power.
The string of beads glowed and runes intertwined, the six crystals vibrated, then flew off her hand, shooting a dazzling and terrifying bolt of lightning towards Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng lightly raised his palm.
The terrifying lightning landed on his hand and instantly vanished into thin air.
“Not bad.”
The power of this strike was comparable to the outburst of a top-tier Spiritual Artifact, and from its appearance, it hadn’t reached the exotic treasure’s limit. As Lu Wangshu’s Cultivation Realm improved, its effects would also increase.
Lu Qingxuan and Lu Lingxiao, who were standing nearby, couldn’t help but be surprised, amazed, and awestruck by this scene.
Although they hadn’t experienced the power of this string of beads firsthand, they could tell the terror of that strike and would never dare to confront it head-on.
Yet, their Father, without any magic power fluctuations, dispelled it with a single raise of his hand—it was simply astonishing!
“Is this the strength of a Core Formation True Person?”
Lu Qingxuan’s heart was filled with awe, and he profoundly realized the chasm between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation.
No wonder it was said that all below Core Formation were ants.
No matter how talented and brilliant you were, in front of a Core Formation True Person, you had no power to resist.
“It seems your harvests this time were all quite good.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t continue testing the string of beads’ abilities and said with a smile.
He sighed inwardly, no wonder countless Cultivators, knowing the dangers of Secret Realms, still rushed in like moths to a flame.
Because there were truly Opportunities there!
Under normal circumstances, most Cultivators would never have the Opportunity to form a Core if they followed the normal path.
An ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator entering a Secret Realm might gain Opportunities and wealth they couldn’t accumulate in a lifetime!
Immediately, Lu Changsheng inquired about the detailed situation of their Secret Realm trip.
The three had other gains, but they were mainly Spirit Medicine, crystal cores, and some Materials, which were not worth mentioning compared to these three major gains.
However, according to their speculation, others had also obtained Opportunities.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng also inquired about the three’s Cultivation progress, gave them guidance and instruction, and then continued with his own matters.
“Father, I also found a damaged Magic Treasure in the Immortal City before. Could you take a look at it for me?”
At this moment, Lu Lingxiao said, handing over the damaged bronze mirror he had found in the Immortal City.
Lu Wangshu, standing nearby, immediately looked at Lu Lingxiao, her teeth itching with envy.
Her younger brother’s eye technique had improved by leaps and bounds at some unknown time. All kinds of Opportunities and treasures could hardly escape his eyes, which made her incredibly envious.
For this, she had spent a lot of time Cultivating eye techniques, but she simply couldn’t compare to Lu Lingxiao.
“Oh?”
Lu Changsheng took the damaged bronze mirror, examined it briefly, then infused his magic power. He sensed a slight resonance with the Dragon’s Roar Body Origin within his Chaos Body, and his brows slightly raised.
“This should be a good Magic Treasure, but due to its damage and severe loss of Origin, it’s obscured. I’ll help you warm and recast it later to see.”
Lu Changsheng said to his son.
“Thank you, Father.”
Lu Lingxiao immediately thanked him respectfully.
This time, his son Lu Qingxuan had also returned from Qingluan Immortal City. Lu Changsheng inquired about his situation over the past two years.
“Mu Yi only guided me twice in divination; other times, she was like a Dragon, seen only by its head and not its tail.”
Lu Qingxuan recounted his situation over the past two years in Qingluan Immortal City.
Under Qingluan True Monarch’s arrangement, he served as a steward in the City Lord’s mansion, handling daily affairs.
With Qingluan True Monarch’s connection, the other stewards in the City Lord’s mansion were very respectful and took great care of him.
He had also entered the Secret Realm in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range with the Cultivators from Qingluan Immortal City, but he didn’t gain much.
“You can just do your work normally in Qingluan Immortal City. The divination Legacy is up to fate. When you have time, you can go see Qingxuan and the others more often.”
Lu Changsheng said to his son.
No matter what, the Opportunities in Qingluan Immortal City were far greater than in Bihu Mountain.
“Your son understands.”
Lu Qingxuan replied respectfully, then walked out of the mansion.
He had returned this time mainly for his mother’s Core Formation Grand Ceremony, to offer congratulations, and it was not convenient for him to stay long.
Now that the ceremony was over, he planned to catch up with his siblings and then return early.
“Young Master, you’re back.”
When he returned to his courtyard, a woman in her twenties, with a graceful figure and beautiful Face, dressed in a cyan silk dress, cried out in surprise to Lu Qingxuan, rushing towards him.
Then she stood frozen in front of him, somewhat flustered, feeling that she had lost her composure.
Lu Qingxuan didn’t mind the maid’s fuss and said gently, “Little Yu.”
Young Master, I heard Young Miss Qi say that you went out to study.
This young girl was Little Yu, the girl Lu Qingxuan, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Qingqi found in Qingyun Town years ago.
More than twenty years had passed, and the former young girl had matured, now possessing a Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivation.
It could only be said that as Lu Qingxuan’s maid, even though her conditions and treatment were not as good as those of the Lu Family disciples, they were still better than those of some small Foundation Establishment families.
Especially since the Lu Family’s conditions had been improving over the past few decades, even maids like her could now eat Spirit Meals.
Although it couldn’t compare to the specifications of the Lu Family disciples’ Spirit Meals, it was already superior to ninety percent of Loose Cultivators.
“Yes, I’ve come back to take a look.”
Lu Qingxuan nodded slightly and asked the maid about the recent situation of Lu.
“Young Master, is it convenient for you outside?”
A moment later, Little Yu mustered her courage, wanting to continue serving by Lu Qingxuan’s side.
Seeing her look at him with a hopeful expression, Lu Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said, “Since that’s the case, you can come with me later.”
Although it wasn’t ideal to bring a maid when going out, in an Immortal City, he still needed a few of his own people.
Whether it was handling trivial matters or dealing with affairs related to Qingxuan Mountain, it would be much more convenient.
There was no doubt about the maid Little Yu’s loyalty, and now that she was at Qi Refining Ninth Layer, once they arrived at Qingluan Immortal City, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to get her a Foundation Establishment Pill with his current status and financial resources.
As long as Little Yu achieved a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, she could continue to be a capable assistant.
“Thank you, Young Master!”
Little Yu’s expression brightened with joy upon hearing this, and then she asked Lu Qingxuan what preparations she needed to make.
Taking advantage of Lu Miaoge’s ceremony, many Family disciples returned to the Family, and Lu Changsheng concernedly inquired about their situations and checked their cultivation.
“Breaking through to Foundation Establishment?”
Lu Changsheng paid attention to the slightly Genius disciples of the Lu Family, telling them to inform him when they were preparing for Foundation Establishment.
His grandson, Lu Xuangan, was an exception; he experienced Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, which could not be delayed.
At this moment, his son, Lu Qingyue, who possessed a Third Grade Spiritual Root and a Green Wood Spirit Body, intended to attempt a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
Lu Changsheng checked his cultivation, which was quite solid, indicating that a Perfect Dao Foundation would not be an issue.
For a Perfect Dao Foundation, the probability was at most thirty percent.
“I have arrangements for you later.”
Lu Changsheng said after pondering for a moment.
After busy until almost nightfall and resolving the situations of most of the Lu Family disciples, Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Qingyue, who was still waiting beside him, and said, “Come with me.”
Lu Changsheng led him to the underground palace on Biyun Peak.
“This is…”
As soon as Lu Qingyue entered the underground palace, he felt an unprecedentedly rich Spiritual Qi and vitality. He felt as if his Green Wood Spirit Body had revived at that moment, experiencing an unprecedented joy.
“Foundation Establishment is the beginning of the Great Dao. This step is crucial. Your current Foundation Establishment is fine, but to condense a Perfect Dao Foundation, you still lack some refinement.”
Lu Changsheng saw his son’s Spirit Body Origin gradually becoming active, thinking that a Wood-attribute Spirit Body was indeed compatible with the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine.
He then pointed to the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine ahead and said, “This vine is our Family’s supreme treasure, suppressing the Family’s Spiritual Vein, and its attribute is similar to your Green Wood Spirit Body.”
“If you Cultivate with the aid of this vine and condense your Magic Power, it can further advance your cultivation Foundation, allowing you to condense a Perfect Dao Foundation in the future.”
“For the time being, you can come here to Cultivate. During this process, you can observe and comprehend the patterns on the vine. If you gain any insights, it will not only help with your Foundation Establishment but also with your future Core Formation path.”
Lu Changsheng said slowly.
“Core Formation!?”
Although Bihu Mountain ostensibly already had Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, two Core Formation True Persons, for most of the Lu Family disciples, Core Formation was still an unattainable Realm.
“Thank you, Father!”
Lu Qingyue excitedly cupped his hands, not expecting such a supreme treasure to exist within Lu.
He had lived for twenty-six years and had never known.
However, he also knew that for his Father to become a Core Formation True Person, he must have had many Opportunities and secrets.
“Yes, this is a secret of our Family and must not be spread outside. You can come here by yourself on weekdays to observe and comprehend, and use it for cultivation, but do not touch anything else randomly.”
Although there was a guardian, Lu Changsheng still earnestly instructed him.
“Please rest assured, Father!”
Lu Qingyue understood the importance.
Just by the Qi he felt after entering, he knew that the vine before him far surpassed any Heaven And Earth Treasure he had ever seen.
Not only the vine, but even the multicolored soil on the ground gave him an extraordinary feeling.
“Alright.”
After giving his instructions, Lu Changsheng went to rest.
After several days of relaxation and rest, Lu Changsheng felt refreshed and prepared to forge the Sun Moon bracelets he had previously promised his daughters, Lu Baixi and Lu Linghe.
But then he thought of his obedient daughter, Lu Qingzhu, and immediately felt that he couldn’t favor one over another; she should have one too.
If Lu Qingzhu had one, Lu Qingqi would definitely want one when she saw it.
Wangshu had returned Lu; if she saw that Lu Qingzhu, Lu Qingqi, and others all had them, she would definitely cry and fuss with him.
Since all these daughters in Lu had them, it wouldn’t be right not to take care of the others, would it?
…
For a moment, Lu Changsheng fell silent.
He deeply realized that having children was fun for a moment, but raising them was a complete mess.
Not to mention the time it took to forge Magic Treasures, he didn’t even have that many Materials on hand.
Even the Great Sun Essence produced by the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror couldn’t keep up.
“Damn it, there’s no more!”
After much thought, Lu Changsheng decided to cut corners.
Why forge Magic Treasures? Spiritual Artifacts were enough.
And High Grade Spiritual Artifacts were sufficient for them.
As a Third-tier Artifact Refiner and possessing the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art, a top-tier Artifact Refining Legacy, forging a few Spiritual Artifacts was simply a piece of cake for Lu Changsheng.
A month later, Lu Changsheng presented the uniformly forged Sun Moon bracelets to his precious daughters.
“Thank you, Daddy!”
“Thank you, Daddy!”
Fortunately, the daughters were very sensible and did not ask why this bracelet was inferior to Lu Mengchan’s.
Lu Changsheng did not show too much favoritism. He had his son, Lu Yun, tally the Family’s treasury, then added some Heaven And Earth Treasure he didn’t need to the Family’s treasury and made a list for the Lu Family disciples to choose from.
The reason, he said, was to celebrate Lu Miaoge’s Core Formation joy.
If not for Old Ancestor Lu’s immense wealth and control of the Immortal City, with occasional sponsorship from kind-hearted individuals, any other Family would simply not be able to sustain such a method of cultivating disciples.
As for Lu Lingxiao’s bronze mirror, Lu Changsheng briefly studied it and saw that its previous grade was not low; it was a supreme Yang Magic Treasure.
He didn’t have enough Materials on hand, and recasting it would be very troublesome, so he directly threw it into the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, using the Great Sun Essence of this heavenly spiritual treasure to nourish it and replenish its Origin Qi.
As the Lu Family disciples gradually went out again, Lu Changsheng accompanied his wives, concubines, and children for some time, then continued to go into seclusion to Cultivate and condense the Brahma Demon True Body!
The completion of the Vatican Devil True Saint Art was only the first step in Lu Changsheng’s increase in combat power.
In this Cultivation Technique, besides the Demon God’s Spear and the Great Bright King Light Phase, there were many Divine Abilities.
Among them, the greatest increase in combat power came from the Brahma Demon True Body!
Especially since Lu Changsheng had previously obtained the Fifth-tier rare treasure Xuanhuang Essence from a lottery, which could be used to forge the Dharma Idol Golden Body of the Brahma Demon True Body, enhancing its power and effect.
“To Cultivate the Brahma Demon True Body, one must first condense a Magic Power Incarnation!”
Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged and circulated the Vatican Devil True Saint Art.
Before long, Buddha light bloomed all around him, and Devilish Qi flowed, causing ten thousand demons to roar in the Immortal Cave, accompanied by Buddhist chants, making it incredibly profound.
Gradually, a faint phantom of a three-headed, six-armed Buddha-Demon appeared behind Lu Changsheng.
To condense the Brahma Demon True Body, it was naturally not just a simple condensation through Magic Power.
It required the Cultivator’s Physical Body, Magic Power, and Divine Sense as the core, constantly interacting with Heaven and Earth, and then using the Dao Foundation as the root, interweaving and combining them, thereby condensing the Brahma Demon True Body.
At that time, the evolution of the Brahma Demon True Body into a Dharma Idol, and its strength, would also be closely related to the Cultivator’s Physical Body, Magic Power, and Divine Sense!
“Hoo, hoo, hoo—”
Countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged into Lu Changsheng’s body, Qi Sea, and Dantian, then flowed through his Meridians, slowly entering the relevant acupoints.
These acupoints seemed to be projected onto the phantom behind him, shining in harmony.
The human body has a total of 1,296 acupoints. Only by condensing all these acupoints can the Magic Power Incarnation be considered initially condensed.
With the acupoints as anchor points, it could gradually be solidified, forming illusory bones, Meridians, and flesh, eventually leading to one acupoint connecting to all, condensing 129,600 acupoints.
It could be said that truly achieving Major Achievement in the Brahma Demon True Body was extraordinarily difficult and extremely time-consuming and energy-intensive.
However, Lu Changsheng did not plan to directly Cultivate to Major Achievement; he would Cultivate a portion first and see the effect.
