Chapter 655: Lu Changsheng: Awu, it’s time for you to come out into the world!
“Boom!”
Lu Changsheng instantly felt the Indestructible Golden Body beginning to merge with his Chaos Body.
During this process, he gradually came to understand the effects of the Indestructible Golden Body.
Not only was his Physical Body incredibly strong, like a Magic Treasure, and indestructible, but it also possessed indestructible matter and an indestructible characteristic!
This indestructible matter was similar to Lu Changsheng’s current indestructible matter, but it focused more on self-healing and recovery ability!
“What a truly Indestructible Golden Body!”
Lu Changsheng was pleasantly surprised.
He cultivated both Dharma and Body, possessing a quasi-Fourth-Order Body Refining, and now his Chaos Body had merged with the Indestructible Golden Body. If he were to Breakthrough to Fourth-Order Body Refining, he would truly be invincible.
Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would not only find it difficult to break through his Physical Body defense, but even if they managed to injure him, he could recover within a few days.
Moreover, in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, the greatest benefit of the Indestructible Golden Body’s indestructible effect was its ability to support his Nine Treasures Wishful Bone!
The stronger his Physical Body, and the higher his self-healing endurance, the higher the lower and upper limits of his Nine Treasures Wishful Bone’s爆发 would be!
Besides this indestructible characteristic, other effects included immunity to all evil, providing a certain degree of immunity to Core Formation Dharma Domains, Cultivator pressure, curses, severe poisons, Evil Qi, Killing Intent, and so on.
These few were relatively common, as Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Body already had resistance in these areas.
Immediately, during the Fusion process, Lu Changsheng tried his best to integrate the Indestructible Golden Body’s indestructible effect into his Chaos Body, further enhancing his Physical Body strength and recovery ability.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”
As the Fusion progressed, Lu Changsheng’s flesh and bones vibrated, clanging like metal, as if imbued with an indestructible golden radiance.
Although his body had no hidden injuries, with the indestructible characteristic integrating into his Chaos Body and merging with his quasi-Fourth-Order Physique, his body felt reborn, undergoing a baptism.
After a long time, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, exhaling a turbid breath. His body was pure and unblemished, his Divine Power surged, flowing with an immortal, crystalline glow.
This time, although it wasn’t a complete transformation, his Physique had clearly improved and become much stronger.
If his son Lu Ping’an’s Physique could advance further, Lu Changsheng was confident he could attempt to Breakthrough to Fourth-Order Body Refining!
“Clang!”
Lu Changsheng clenched his fist, feeling the surging Divine Power, then pulled out a Magic Treasure from his storage ring and slashed it against his wrist, producing a crisp metallic clang.
He then cut a little harder, creating an indentation.
However, as his Chaos Body slightly circulated, the indentation disappeared at a visible speed.
“In my current situation, I don’t even need to use the Great Bright King Light Phase when fighting others.”
“Even if I’m severely injured, I estimate I can recover on my own within ten days to half a month.”
Lu Changsheng put away the Magic Treasure, his expression joyful.
His most severe injury was during the Wilderness War when he unleashed his full power against the Sect Leader of Heavenly Corpse.
But now, with his quasi-Fourth-Order Physique and the Indestructible Golden Body, if he were to suffer such injuries again, he estimated he could recover on his own within one or two months.
If he had Heaven And Earth Treasure or Medicinal Pill for healing, it would be even faster.
“It’s a pity I don’t often fight to the death, otherwise this would be the ultimate Physique for trading injuries!”
Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed again.
This spiritual body was very suitable for exploring, Secret Realm, and fighting others.
After all, whether going to Secret Realm ruins or fighting others, the greatest fear was suffering severe injuries, then lacking enough Medicinal Pill and Spirit Medicine, making it difficult to sustain one’s state.
But with the indestructible characteristic of this spiritual body, if injured, one could simply find a place to hide and recover at the fastest speed.
Moreover, the Indestructible Golden Body was physically powerful, and ordinary spells and Divine Ability that landed on him would only have seventy to eighty percent of their effect, giving him an inherent advantage.
“This spiritual body is quite suitable for Quanzhen. It would be great if the Indestructible Golden Body’s characteristic could merge with Quanzhen’s Kunpeng Demon Body.”
Although his son Lu Ping’an often went out, his situation couldn’t compare to that of his son Lu Quanzhen.
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng glanced at his son Lu Quanzhen’s System interface, wanting to know if he had burned his lifespan during his years in the Star Constellation Sea.
[Name: Lu Quanzhen]
[Lifespan: 92 / 338]
[Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, Kunpeng Demon Body (High-Grade Spiritual Body)]
[Cultivation: Core Formation First Layer]
[Ability: Combat Compatibility (74%)]
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow. He remembered that his son Lu Quanzhen’s lifespan was three hundred and twenty when he first Breakthrough to Core Formation.
After a few years in the Star Constellation Sea, not only did he not burn his lifespan, but he even gained more than ten years of lifespan?
“It seems Quanzhen has gained quite a lot in the Star Constellation Sea.”
Lu Quanzhen had already taken Tier 1, Tier 2, and Three-Tier Longevity Pill. Taking more Longevity Pill would have almost no effect.
To increase lifespan, he could only take related Heaven And Earth Treasure and Heaven And Earth Spirit Medicine.
However, such Spirit Medicine were rare and precious.
But besides taking Heaven And Earth Treasure, there was another possibility… it was the “Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art”!
“System, draw.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t think much of it and silently recited in his mind, using the lottery draw he had just obtained.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Cultivation Technique “Yuan Yu Five Viscera Art”!”
[Reward has been issued to the System space, host can view it at any time]
“Cultivation Technique?”
Now having several Dao Inquiry Grade and True Immortal Grade Cultivation Techniques, Lu Changsheng gradually lost interest in ordinary lottery Cultivation Techniques.
However, these unorthodox and orthodox Cultivation Techniques were still the foundation of the Family.
“System, Legacy!”
He didn’t look closely, directly using this Cultivation Technique Legacy.
Instantly, the cultivation methods, related content, and essentials of the “Yuan Yu Five Viscera Art” poured into his mind like a sudden enlightenment.
“This Cultivation Technique is interesting?”
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, raising an eyebrow.
This orthodox Cultivation Technique was different from most Cultivation Techniques; it belonged to a supplementary Cultivation Technique and had five layers.
The first layer Cultivates the five viscera and six bowels, thereby improving the Physical Body, the speed of refining Medicinal Pill and Spirit Medicine, and so on.
If cultivated to Major Achievement, it not only provided certain resistance to medicinal toxins and severe poisons but also extended lifespan by ten years.
Upon Major Achievement of the second layer, the five viscera and six bowels undergo a baptism and transformation, giving birth to the Origin of Five Qi. Lifespan increases by another ten years, and in times of danger, the Origin of Five Qi can be transformed into Dharma Power to heal injuries.
In addition, this Origin of Five Qi could also help in Breakthrough Realm, providing some assistance in attempting Foundation Establishment, or Foundation Establishment Early Stage Breakthrough to Middle Stage, and Middle Stage Breakthrough to Late Stage.
If the “Yuan Yu Five Viscera Art” broke through to the third layer, the five viscera would return to their Origin, granting a transformative baptism, expanding Meridians and Dantian, and enhancing potential.
Furthermore, upon Major Achievement of the third layer, when attempting Core Formation, burning the Origin of Five Qi could increase the Core Formation probability by ten percent!
The fourth layer could only be cultivated by Core Formation cultivators. Once Major Achievement was reached, the Five Qi would be like a Dragon, and the five viscera and six bowels would undergo another transformation, adding sixty years to one’s lifespan. Moreover, the five viscera could store Dharma Power and life Origin like a Dantian.
As for the fifth layer, it was the part Lu Changsheng was most interested in: returning the five viscera to their Innate Origin state, thereby opening the Origin Divine Treasure!
Although this Divine Treasure was different from the Kidney Divine Treasure that Lu Changsheng had opened through the [Divine Treasure Pill] back then, it shared some similarities.
Each time a Five Viscera Divine Treasure was opened, that organ would gain a mysterious Divine Ability.
If all five major Origin Divine Treasures were opened and the Cultivation Technique reached Major Achievement, not only would one gain the Five Viscera Divine Ability, but their Physical Body, Dharma Power, and talent potential would also advance further, increasing the Nascent Soul probability by ten percent.
“If a Body Cultivator Cultivates this Cultivation Technique, it can also complement each other, achieving twice the result with half the effort.”
Although this Cultivation Technique was not a Body Refining Cultivation Technique, it was closely related to the human Physical Body.
If one cultivated this “Yuan Yu Five Viscera Art” and then proceeded with Body Refining, or if a Body Cultivator cultivated this Cultivation Technique, both would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
“Later, I can let Xiao’er and Wangshu Cultivate this Cultivation Technique.”
In Lu Changsheng’s view, this was a very good Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique.
Although it was time-consuming, if they practiced both Dharma and Body cultivation and succeeded, it would still be worth it.
Even every Lu Family disciple could try to Cultivate it.
They didn’t need to Cultivate too high, the second layer was sufficient.
As for the third and fourth layers, that depended on their Comprehension Ability, talent, and destiny.
If Lu Changsheng himself were to Cultivate it now, it would still take a lot of time to reach the third or fourth layer.
The fifth layer, opening the five major Origin Divine Treasures, would require even more Heaven And Earth Spirit Medicine to achieve, and he might not even be able to gather them all now.
Lu Changsheng didn’t pay much attention to this Cultivation Technique. He went to Dragon Fish Island, found his son Lu Qingshan, and told him he was going out for a while.
“Going out? Father, are you planning to go to the Han Sha Illusion Domain?”
Lu Qingshan saw his father retrieving the Great Luo Sword Embryo and preparing for a long journey. He immediately raised an eyebrow and asked.
Although he had only just Breakthrough to Core Formation, as a Nascent Soul seed of the Jin Yang Sect, he knew quite a few secrets of the Cultivation World.
For example, the Liang Yue War had currently stopped because the Han Sha Illusion Domain was about to open.
His father going out at this time, and bringing the Great Luo Sword Embryo, naturally led him to this speculation.
“No, your elder brother encountered some trouble outside. I’m going to see what’s happening.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.
Regarding the Han Sha Illusion Domain that Lu Qingshan mentioned, he had considered whether to go.
With his current combat power, if he teamed up with Qingluan True Monarch, the risk was actually not high.
After all, it was called a Nascent Soul instance, but unless top-tier rare treasures appeared, under normal circumstances, Nascent Soul cultivators would not fight fiercely. The main casualties would still be Core Formation cultivators who went to compete for Nascent Soul Opportunities.
The reason he gave up was mainly because he was worried that his performance would be too outstanding, attracting the covetousness of other Nascent Soul cultivators.
After all, his situation was also an Opportunity for many Nascent Soul cultivators.
Especially his Great Luo Sword Embryo; as long as he used it, anyone could see that it was a supreme treasure.
He wasn’t afraid of one-on-one Nascent Soul cultivators, but if he encountered a ruthless person like Xuanjian Zhenjun, or a team of Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be troublesome.
Moreover, in the outside world, if he encountered danger, he could escape through the Mi Chen Banner and life-substituting talisman, but once he entered a Secret Realm, these methods would be restricted.
“Elder brother?”
Lu Qingshan knew about his elder brother, Lu Ping’an.
Even in the Foundation Establishment Stage back then, he had a Body Refining comparable to a Tier 3, and even his sword couldn’t break through his Physical Body defense, which was astonishing.
He asked, “What happened to elder brother?”
“The situation is a bit complicated, I’m not too clear either. Do you have any doubts about your cultivation these days?”
Lu Changsheng didn’t elaborate on this and asked his son.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan expressed some of his thoughts and ideas.
Even though Lu Changsheng possessed the “Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture,” his guidance on Lu Qingshan’s sword Dao was limited now. He mostly explained through his broader vision and understanding of cultivation.
In fact, at this stage, giving him the Great Luo Sword Embryo to comprehend on his own would be the simplest.
However, he needed the Great Luo Sword Embryo himself, so he couldn’t give it to him.
Thinking that there was still a Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine at Lu, Lu Changsheng said that he could go back home later to observe this Spiritual Vine, and perhaps gain some insights.
After finishing his tasks, Lu Changsheng informed Ling Zixiao, Nangong Mili, Meng Xiaochun, and Honglian, then rode the Golden Winged Roc back to Bihu Mountain.
Ten days later.
A figure appeared silently on the peak of Biyun Peak.
“Changsheng, Ling Zixiao sent a message saying that there’s a deep-sea disturbance, suspected to be a Beast Tide.”
As soon as Lu Changsheng returned to Bihu Mountain, preparing to go out with the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, Lu Miaoge told him a piece of news.
“Beast Tide?”
Lu Changsheng frowned upon hearing this, feeling that something was amiss.
A Beast Tide fluctuation had only appeared in Great Dream Marsh three years ago. How could it appear again?
Moreover, with the Rift Sea Mystic Whale guarding it, how could a Beast Tide appear in Great Dream Marsh?
“The news came from Rift Sea Mystic Whale. According to Ling Zixiao, Senior Red Lotus went to the deep sea to investigate, and there were indeed beast tide fluctuations. It’s highly possible that a Fourth-Order Demon King is leading them, intending to stir up a beast tide.”
Lu Miaoge’s beautiful face was solemn, and her eyes were filled with worry as she spoke.
If a Fourth-Order Demon King leads the charge, then it’s definitely a major beast tide, a huge disaster!
“Fourth-Order Demon King!?”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became somewhat serious.
Since Ling Zixiao said Red Lotus went to investigate, then it’s most likely true.
It’s very possible that a Fourth-Order Beast King has arrived in the Star Constellation Sea.
“What a coincidence.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t expect that as soon as he left Great Dream Immortal City, a beast tide would appear.
Although he had teamed up with Meng Wuhen and his wife to hunt a Fourth-Order Demon King and defeated Five Poison Sect Leader, a Nascent Soul cultivator, he still found it tricky to face a Fourth-Order Demon King head-on.
Especially in a boundless sea like Great Dream Marsh, with the opponent stirring up a beast tide.
“I’ll go take a look.”
He took a deep breath and exhaled, having no choice but to temporarily put aside Lu Ping’an’s matter and return to Great Dream Marsh to assess the situation.
“Wait, a Fourth-Order Demon King…”
Just as Lu Changsheng was about to set off back to Great Dream Immortal City, he suddenly paused, deep in thought.
It would be very difficult for him to directly resolve a Fourth-Order Demon King; at most, he could repel it.
But if the opponent launched a beast tide and attacked Great Dream Immortal City, that would be different.
Great Dream Immortal City possessed a Tier 3 Forbidden Formation. As a top-tier Tier 3 Formation Master, if he presided over and merged with the Formation, he could unleash Nascent Soul-level combat power.
As long as he could severely injure it, then combining forces with Rift Sea Mystic Whale, Red Lotus, and Nangong Mili, there was a chance they could hunt down this Fourth-Order Demon King.
“If I can hunt a Fourth-Order Demon King…”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, lost in thought.
A Fourth-Order Demon King was a treasure from head to toe. Not to mention the rare Materials from its body, his current Physique was just one step away from advancing to the Fourth-Order.
If he could hunt this Fourth-Order Demon King, he might be able to use its blood and essence to further advance his Vatican Devil True Saint Art, thereby breaking through to Fourth-Order Body Refining.
“However, if a Fourth-Order Demon King approaches Great Dream Immortal City, it might cause significant casualties.”
“And in broad daylight, if I use the Great Luo Sword Embryo and Golden Winged Roc, everyone will know that Immortal Master Yang Ming is the Great Dream City Lord.”
“If forces like the Yinming Ghost Sect find out I have a home base, it would be troublesome.”
Lu Changsheng stroked his chin, feeling that hunting a Fourth-Order Demon King was still very difficult.
Moreover, he wasn’t sure of this Fourth-Order Demon King’s strength.
If it was only an Early Stage Fourth-Order with average combat power, that would be fine.
But if it was a Middle Stage Fourth-Order Demon King, then there was no need to fight; he could just abandon the Immortal City and run away.
As Lu Changsheng pondered and struggled, he saw the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror hanging high in the Grotto-heaven, and suddenly felt the world brighten.
“Damn it, why use the Great Luo Sword Embryo at this time? I can use Great Dream Immortal City’s Spiritual Vein, merge with the Tier 3 Formation as a top-tier Tier 3 Formation Master, and then rely on the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone to set up arrangements in advance, directly unleashing a single Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light to finish the job!”
Under normal circumstances, Lu Changsheng’s current cultivation and magical power were far from enough to activate this heavenly spiritual treasure.
But with Great Dream Immortal City’s Spiritual Vein, and by merging with the Formation as a top-tier Tier 3 Formation Master, it was still possible to barely activate it.
As long as he could kill a Fourth-Order Demon King, what was a little cost!
The Cultivation World was currently turbulent, with storms brewing. He couldn’t completely hide at this time; when necessary, he still needed to take the initiative to fight for benefits!
Thinking of activating the heavenly spiritual treasure to kill a Fourth-Order Demon King, a surge of heroism instantly welled up in Lu Changsheng’s heart. He reached out to the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror and smiled, “A Wu, it’s time for you to appear.”
“Now, there’s no need to conceal the news of Great Dream Immortal City changing hands!”
In an instant, the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror, with one side flowing with solar essence and the other with Taiyin Moon Essence, floated into Lu Changsheng’s hand.
“Miaoge, let’s go to Great Dream Immortal City together.”
Lu Changsheng held the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror, looked at his wife Lu Miaoge, and laughed loudly.
He and Lu Miaoge cultivated the Taiyi Life-Generating Water Art.
If they truly needed to activate the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror, Lu Miaoge could lend him her magical power.
“Changsheng, are you planning to…”
Lu Miaoge knew that this mirror was extraordinary, a top-tier Spirit Treasure.
Now that Lu Changsheng was holding this Spirit Treasure and heading to Great Dream Immortal City, was he planning to use it to repel the enemy?
“Indeed, if a Fourth-Order Demon King comes, then I will use this mirror to slay it, thereby establishing the prestige of my Great Dream Immortal City!”
Lu Changsheng held his wife’s fair, jade-like hand, speaking with heroic spirit.
“Slay a Fourth-Order Beast King!?”
Even Red Lotus was startled by Lu Changsheng’s words.
After all, trying to hunt a Fourth-Order Demon King in a boundless sea like Great Dream Marsh, especially during a beast tide, was no simple feat.
However, she quickly composed herself and asked Lu Changsheng what he planned to do.
“You’ll know later.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t delay. He and Red Lotus hurried back to the Immortal City, then ordered his son Lu Lingxiao to notify the Immortal City that a beast tide was likely approaching and everyone should prepare.
Apart from Great Dream Immortal City, any islands under their jurisdiction that might be attacked by the beast tide must be evacuated immediately!
Soon after, the City Lord’s Mansion announced the impending beast tide, and the entire Immortal City erupted in a clamor.
“What, a beast tide is coming? Why didn’t I feel any movement?”
“Since the City Lord’s Mansion announced it, then a beast tide is most likely coming.”
“I wonder what the scale of this beast tide will be.”
“According to past practice, when a beast tide strikes, the Immortal City will conscript a large number of Cultivators. Brother Zhao, do you want to avoid the limelight?”
“A beast tide is such a good thing, a rare occurrence in a hundred years! I’ve just broken through to Foundation Establishment and want to hunt more Yao Beasts to earn cultivation resources!”
“Once the beast tide arrives, all Yao Beast Materials will drop in price. I must deal with my goods now!”
“My spirit rice will be ripe in half a year. Why is the beast tide coming at this time?!”
Regarding the news of the impending beast tide, some in the Immortal City were joyful, while others were sad.
During this process, some took the Opportunity to hoard goods, some fled the Immortal City, and some Cultivators rushed to the Immortal City, preparing to wait for the Immortal City’s conscription.
Although Lu Changsheng planned to rely on the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror to slay the Fourth-Order Demon King, conscripting Cultivators from Great Dream Marsh was still unavoidable.
On one hand, they needed the help of Loose Cultivators to reinforce the Formation.
On the other hand, for some island situations, Yao Beast groups still required the help of Loose Cultivators and subordinate forces to clear them out.
However, the City Lord’s Mansion would not lose out on such conscription. Most of the hunted Yao Beasts would still be processed by the Immortal City.
Moreover, this Opportunity could also be used to recruit some elite Cultivators to join the City Lord’s Mansion.
After the announcement, the Heaven Sword Sect Cultivators stationed in the Immortal City immediately came to the City Lord’s Mansion to inquire about the beast tide.
“My father has already made arrangements.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t show up. After returning, he immediately went to refine Magic Treasure and let Lu Lingxiao handle the situation.
Upon hearing this, the False Core Cultivator stationed by the Immortal Sect didn’t ask further questions.
Since the Great Dream City Lord was confident, they naturally wouldn’t waste manpower interfering.
Furthermore, the Han Sha Illusion Domain was about to open, and their Heaven Sword Sect also had top-tier combat power heading to the Endless Desert, waiting for the Secret Realm to open, so they couldn’t spare too much strength now.
