Chapter 664: Coming to Yue State again, there is endless desert!
A month later, Lu Changsheng returned to Great Dream Immortal City with the Golden Winged Celestial Peng.
“Husband, you’re back. How is Big Black?”
Seeing Lu Changsheng return, Ling Zixiao immediately asked with concern.
“Don’t worry, it has successfully transcended the tribulation and is currently sleeping on Mystic Whale Island.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Mystic Whale Island is an ownerless third-order spirit vein, currently occupied by the Sea-Splitting Mystic Whale, hence its name.
“True Spirit level bloodline…”
Hearing this, Ling Zixiao really wanted to see what the Sea-Splitting Mystic Whale looked like now.
Lu Changsheng saw his wife’s thoughts and explained that the Sea-Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale had not fully transformed yet, and its appearance was even less impressive than before. She would have to wait a few more years to see the appearance of the overlord of the sea.
After chatting with Ling Zixiao for a while, he said he was preparing to go out and then found Hong Lian.
“Hong Lian, how is your body?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the peerless goddess before him, dressed in a luxurious red gown, standing tall and graceful, and asked with concern.
“Husband, don’t worry, my body is fine.”
Although Hong Lian’s spiritual embryo body was not as good as Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Body, it was still extraordinary.
Moreover, using the secret technique at that time to barely resist the Void Kun did not cause her much injury, only physical strain.
“I plan to go on a long trip. The Immortal City will need you to guard it. If anything happens, you can discuss it with Zixiao.”
Lu Changsheng’s current divination skills could not predict whether the Immortal City would encounter danger or trouble.
However, with Hong Lian and the Sea-Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale guarding it, there would be no danger unless a Nascent Soul True Lord attacked.
Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator came, they might not be able to break through the Immortal City.
Although the Sea-Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale’s bloodline had not fully transformed, its combat power had significantly improved compared to before. If it fully unleashed its power, it could temporarily contend with a Nascent Soul cultivator.
As a third-order array master, Hong Lian, in charge of the grand array and guarding the Immortal City, could also hold out until he returned.
“Husband, don’t worry, I am here at home.”
Hong Lian was already used to Lu Changsheng going out from time to time and replied softly.
She even thought about the large or small opportunities Lu Changsheng obtained every time he went out and was somewhat curious about what opportunities he would gain on this trip.
“Big Black has transcended the True Spirit tribulation and is currently sleeping in the third-order spirit vein on Mystic Whale Island. If a demon king attacks, you can use this talisman to wake it up.”
Lu Changsheng continued, handing a jade talisman to Hong Lian.
Hong Lian had heard from Ling Zixiao that Lu Changsheng had gone out with the Sea-Splitting Mystic Whale, so she knew about this.
As a fourth-order beast master, she actually really wanted to see what a True Spirit tribulation looked like, and even observe the Sea-Splitting Mystic Whale’s transformation process into a Sea-Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale.
“If you want to go see it now, you can. It won’t affect anything.”
Although there was a certain distance from Great Dream Immortal City to Mystic Whale Island, Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochuan were still in the Immortal City, so he wasn’t worried about dangerous situations.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng went to his cave dwelling to find Nangong Mili.
He saw Nangong Mili sitting cross-legged on the bed in the antique cave dwelling, her body draped in a purple gauze dress, her curves graceful and alluring, her long, plump beautiful legs and rounded honeyed buttocks crossed.
She was barefoot and without socks at this time, her ten crystal-clear, delicate toes slender and exquisite, curled like soft silkworms, her saffron-dyed nails and snow-white skin complementing each other, as if silently alluring him with her charm.
Lu Changsheng stepped forward and sat down beside her, wrapping his arms around the beauty’s slender waist, inhaling the captivating fragrance, and picking up a crystal-clear jade foot to play with.
“What are you doing?”
Nangong Mili naturally knew Lu Changsheng had arrived, but this scoundrel had brought her and her son here and was nowhere to be seen all day, so she felt some resentment in her heart.
“Naturally…”
Towards Nangong Mili, Lu Changsheng always acted first and spoke later.
Moreover, Nangong Mili’s phoenix eyes were cold at this moment, yet her whole body was full of charm and allure, which truly stirred the wildness deep within him, making him want to conquer her fiercely.
“Mmm~”
Nangong Mili tilted her head up, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and a soft moan escaped her red lips.
Afterward!
Afterward!
Afterward!
Her dark, thick, silk-like hair was scattered messily on the bed, like a seductive demon lotus.
Her snow-white neck, covered in glistening sweat, was slightly arched, and the fragrant sweat on her chest flowed into the hollow of her collarbone, like tiny pearls, swaying and trembling, extremely tempting.
And her beautiful face, like a lotus emerging from water, was also dripping with fragrant sweat, flushed with alluring redness, her beautiful eyes hazy, shimmering with waves.
“Mili, I’m preparing to go on a trip. You should spend time with Minghuang these days. If you want to return to the Five Poisons Sect, I’ll take you back then.”
Lu Changsheng held Nangong Mili’s hazy, crystal-clear, alluring jade body, letting the soft, firm, plump, condensed fat flow continuously between his fingers.
He knew Nangong Mili was uncomfortable here and didn’t get along with Ling Zixiao, so she had been cultivating in seclusion in the cave dwelling all this time.
But after encountering the ambush by the Grand Elder of the Nether Ghost Sect after leaving the Myriad Demon Abyss, Lu Changsheng was somewhat worried about Nangong Mili returning alone.
“Mmm~”
Nangong Mili moaned weakly.
Although she somewhat resented Lu Changsheng for bringing her and her son here and being busy with a pile of things all day, after a series of intense battles, the resentment in her heart also dissipated.
Looking at the moist, charming face of the beauty in his arms, inhaling the musky, orchid-like, refreshing fragrance, and feeling her soft, dark hair, Lu Changsheng turned over again, his fingers sinking forcefully into the fleshy, elastic, condensed tender flesh.
Although Nangong Mili had broken through to the late Core Formation stage, she was still unable to bear Lu Changsheng’s physique, which was like it was forged from immortal gold.
A moment later, her rounded buttocks were covered in rolling snow-white waves, and she herself was like a small animal about to die.
A few days later, Lu Changsheng walked out of the cave dwelling feeling refreshed and energetic.
After the Chaos Body merged with the Primal Yang physique, the Primal Yang essence became more abundant, providing some benefit to dual cultivation.
It didn’t help Lu Changsheng much personally, but it had a considerable effect on helping his wives improve their cultivation through dual cultivation, especially for cultivators like Lu Changsheng who had many wives and concubines.
After all, even if his physical body was astonishing, the Primal Yang essence could not be inexhaustible and required time to recover.
Lu Changsheng found his wife, Lu Miaoge.
Currently, with Lu Qingshan, Lu Miaoge, Meng Xiaochuan, Nangong Mili, Hong Lian, and others gathered at Great Dream Immortal City, the cave dwelling was a bit cramped.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng preferred Lu Miaoge to cultivate at Jade Lake Mountain so that she could handle family matters immediately if anything happened.
“Father, once the Vast Sand Illusionary Realm ends, it won’t be long before the Liang-Yue war begins, so I plan to go back with Little Zhu’er.”
Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu were also here. Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, he spoke.
He had now broken through to Core Formation and had no sect missions, so it didn’t matter if he was away for ten or eight years.
But as a sect seed disciple, if he wasn’t there when the war started, it would be like being a deserter.
Moreover, he himself wanted to constantly advance through this war and compete for more cultivation resources.
“I also plan to go to Yue Kingdom. I’ll take you.”
Lu Changsheng did not try to keep him and said.
Saying this, he handed the Great Luo Sword Embryo to Lu Qingshan.
His son could have used the sword embryo to gain insights when he returned this time.
But he had taken back the sword embryo earlier when he was preparing to go out to find Lu Ping’an. Now that he had some time, Lu Changsheng let him gain insights again.
“Is it about Big Brother’s matter?”
Lu Qingshan took the sword embryo, raised his sword-like eyebrows, and asked.
He knew that if it hadn’t been for the beast tide, his father would have already gone out.
“Yes.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Lu Miaoge didn’t know about Lu Ping’an’s matter and asked with concern, “Changsheng, what happened to Ping’an?”
“Ping’an seems to have encountered something and hasn’t returned, so I plan to go out and look for him.”
Lu Changsheng said to his wife.
Lu Miaoge instantly remembered that before the beast tide, Lu Changsheng had returned to Jade Lake Mountain, preparing to take the [Sun and Moon Two Poles Mystic Light Mirror] out, and only then did she realize it was to find Lu Ping’an.
After instructing his few wives, Lu Changsheng passed down the 《Primal Growth Five Viscera Art》 and guided Lu Lingxiao and Lu Wangshu.
He instructed them to pass it on to others later, then took Lu Miaoge, Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, and Lu Qingqi back to Jade Lake Mountain.
Nine days later.
Jade Lake Mountain.
“Father, your mount’s speed is really fast!”
Lu Qingshan, having experienced the Golden Winged Celestial Peng’s extreme speed, clicked his tongue in wonder and also wanted to get a flying mount.
Although breaking through to Core Formation allowed him to ride the divine rainbow sword light at great speed.
However, flying at extreme speed still consumed a lot of magic power.
If he rode the rainbow in the Nine Heavens Astral Wind Layer for a long time, or encountered a spirit-nullifying zone, he would need to rest frequently.
But having a top-tier flying mount would be much more convenient and faster.
“There’s still a golden scaled flood dragon cub at home. You can take it if you want.”
Lu Changsheng had previously won a golden scaled flood dragon in a lottery and given it to Lu Miaoyun to raise. He didn’t mind giving it to his son, Lu Qingshan.
This flood dragon was of the metal element, which was quite compatible with Lu Qingshan’s Geng Metal Physique.
“A cub? Forget it. I don’t have the time and effort to slowly cultivate it.”
Although he knew the beast’s bloodline was definitely good, raising a cub required a lot of time and energy.
If he asked for it and didn’t raise it well, he wouldn’t have the face to ask his father for treasures again in the future.
Lu Changsheng didn’t mind. After resting at home for a few days, he took Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu to Yue Kingdom.
During this process, Lu Changsheng threw Lu Qingshan into the Heavenly Origin Treasure Emperor Lotus to quietly gain insights into the Great Luo Sword Embryo, and then taught his daughter, Lu Qingzhu, the 《Primal Growth Five Viscera Art》.
The latter’s spiritual root talent was not good. If she could cultivate this technique to the third layer, returning the five viscera to their source and transforming her body, it would be much easier to cultivate to the peak Foundation Establishment stage.
In addition, Lu Changsheng also gave his daughter some rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, third-order talismans, and one of the two third-order puppets he had obtained from killing Tu Yuan years ago, giving one to his children.
This way, she would be safe outside, unless she was attacked by a Core Formation cultivator.
“Daddy…”
Lu Qingzhu was different from Lu Qingshan. Seeing her father give her so many precious items, she immediately shook her head and refused.
“It’s okay, keep it.”
Lu Changsheng felt a little indebted to this daughter who was well-behaved and sensible when she was young and whom he often carried back and forth between Green Bamboo Mountain and Red Leaf Valley Market, feeling that he hadn’t been able to do too much for her.
“If you miss home, just write a letter home, and Daddy will come to pick you up.”
Lu Changsheng stroked his daughter’s soft, dark hair and said gently.
Because he was taking Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu, Lu Changsheng called out his son, Lu Qingxuan, when he passed by Azure Luan Immortal City, so that the three siblings could meet.
Chatting with his son, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Changsheng learned that True Lord Azure Luan had most likely gone to the Vast Sand Illusionary Realm. As for whether this secret realm had opened or ended, he didn’t know.
After all, only Core Formation cultivators were qualified to access secret realms of this level.
Unless they were cultivators from related forces, they would have to wait for relevant information to spread and ferment before knowing the situation of the secret realm.
Lu Changsheng didn’t pay much attention to this, asked about his situation briefly, then passed on the 《Primal Growth Five Viscera Art》 to him, telling him to give this technique to Lu Qingxuan and others to cultivate later.
“Yes, Father.”
Lu Qingxuan took the jade slip with the technique and bowed in response.
Lu Changsheng didn’t stay here to slowly teach him how to cultivate, indicating that he could discuss how to cultivate with Lu Qingxuan and others himself, and then continued on to Yue Kingdom with Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.
Twenty days later, a thousand miles outside Golden Sun Sect, an aura of yin and yang glazed light dispersed, and the figures of Lu Changsheng, Lu Qingshan, and Lu Qingzhu appeared.
“Alright, you can go back on your own from now on. I won’t see you off.”
Lu Changsheng looked at his children before him and said softly.
Although it wasn’t very far to travel back and forth from Golden Sun Sect to Jade Lake Mountain after breaking through to Core Formation, it was still troublesome.
Moreover, as a seed disciple of Golden Sun Sect, Lu Qingshan would likely have no time to return once the war began.
“You are so old now, you can make your own decisions about things. I don’t have much to say to you, except that I hope you think twice before acting and don’t risk your life for a little opportunity.”
Lu Changsheng said to his son.
“Father, don’t worry.”
Lu Qingshan said with high spirits.
Seeing his demeanor, Lu Changsheng knew he would still act as he pleased.
But after so many years, saying a few words wouldn’t be useful. He patted his daughter’s head and said, “Little Zhu’er, if anything happens, just send a message to Daddy.”
“Daddy, I know.”
Lu Qingzhu had a beautiful and serene appearance and replied softly, clearly taking Lu Changsheng’s words to heart.
“Take good care of Little Zhu’er.”
Lu Changsheng said to Lu Qingshan again.
The reason he agreed to let his daughter, Lu Qingzhu, return to Golden Sun Sect was partly because his daughter requested it, and partly because with her by Lu Qingshan’s side, this son would still have some reservations and wouldn’t completely act recklessly.
“Father, don’t worry. Anyone who wants to touch Little Zhu’er, ask my sword if it agrees first!”
When it came to his sister, Lu Qingshan’s aura suddenly gained a sharp edge and he spoke resolutely.
The siblings grew up together and had a close relationship. After coming to Golden Sun Sect, which was thousands of miles away, they relied on each other and supported each other.
Lu Qingshan valued this sister more than himself and had always taken on the responsibility of taking care of her.
“Alright, go.”
Lu Changsheng patted his shoulder and said softly.
Lu Qingzhu stepped forward and hugged her father for a moment, then went to Golden Sun Sect with her brother.
“Phew!”
Watching his children’s figures gradually disappear into the horizon, Lu Changsheng let out a long breath, and the [Sun and Moon Two Poles Mystic Light Mirror] appeared in his hand.
He instructed the mirror to alert him if it sensed Lu Ping’an’s sun and moon token or his bloodline connection.
Immediately, he rode the Golden Winged Celestial Peng to the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, found a third-order spirit vein, drove away the demon king, and then used the spirit vein to activate the [Sun and Moon Two Poles Mystic Light Mirror] to probe and sense Lu Ping’an’s situation.
After more than half a month of searching, confirming that Lu Ping’an was most likely not in Yue Kingdom, Lu Changsheng rode the Golden Winged Celestial Peng to Wu Kingdom.
During this process, Lu Changsheng used divination techniques like seeking fortune and avoiding calamity and heavenly secrets sensing to choose his route.
However, Lu Ping’an’s heavenly secrets were obstructed by a hazy white mist, so this sensing and divination did not yield a direct feedback. Lu Changsheng could only choose his route based on his ethereal sixth sense.
Sometimes, a cultivator’s intuition and sixth sense were not weaker than heavenly secrets sensing.
Especially for high-level cultivators, they often had a sudden impulse or ethereal warning when encountering danger.
“Going to Wu Kingdom through the Endless Desert…”
There were two routes from Yue Kingdom to Wu Kingdom.
One was to cross the border directly, and the other was to detour through the Endless Desert.
Lu Changsheng used divination and his Nascent Soul level divine sense’s sixth sense, sensing ethereally for a long time, and felt that taking the detour was more suitable.
“Wait, the Endless Desert…”
“According to my previous calculations, Ping’an not only has a treasure that blocks divination, but his location also has profound heavenly secrets. And now, within the Endless Desert, the Vast Sand Illusionary Realm has opened, and many Core Formation and even Nascent Soul cultivators have gone there, which will definitely interfere with and affect the heavenly secrets of this region.”
Heavenly secrets are not static.
Just like Great Dream Immortal City has True Lord Azure Luan’s fate path arrangement, and Jade Lake Mountain has the Mystic Heaven Spirit Vine gathering luck and disrupting heavenly secrets.
This leads to a certain degree of influence on others who try to divine someone in the Immortal City.
And the matter of the secret realm opening in the Endless Desert has been widely discussed in recent years. Both the secret realm and the arrival of Nascent Soul cultivators will disrupt the heavenly secrets of this region, increasing the difficulty of divination.
“Could it be that Ping’an was possessed by a Nascent Soul old monster who came to the Endless Desert? Or got involved in the Vast Sand Illusionary Realm?”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, but then he shook his head.
News of the [Vast Sand Illusionary Realm] opening or ending had not yet spread, which didn’t match Lu Ping’an’s situation of being possessed and breaking through to Core Formation.
Otherwise, he would have thought that a Nascent Soul old monster’s physical body was destroyed in the secret realm, his Nascent Soul emerged, then he took a fancy to Lu Ping’an’s physical body and possessed him.
Because the Nascent Soul spiritual body was too fragile, the possession failed once and dissipated directly, and then his son obtained the opportunity he brought out from the secret realm, thus breaking through to Core Formation and condensing an acquired spiritual physique.
Otherwise, aside from such a bizarre experience, Lu Changsheng couldn’t figure out why his son’s cultivation had advanced so rapidly after being possessed.
“Phew!”
After some wild thoughts, Lu Changsheng followed his ethereal sensing and speculation, riding the Golden Winged Celestial Peng into the Endless Desert.
