Chapter 693: Jade-faced Rakshasa, Shen Baishuang!

Half a month later, Lu Quanzhen arrived at an island immortal city, intending to gather detailed information about the Kunpeng Nest and replenish his Medicinal Pills and Talismans.

However, just as he landed and entered the city, he suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky.

He saw a brilliant, colorful ray of light, like a flying rainbow, pierce through the air and instantly land on the island’s Fourth Grade Formation.

“Xu Xuanzi, get out here for this old lady!”

A cold and majestic voice resounded through heaven and earth.

Outside the island’s grand Formation, the crimson light gradually dissipated, revealing a stunning woman in a beautiful red dress, like a peony blooming in fiery red clouds.

Her face was shimmering and ethereal, her eyebrows and features hazy like looking at flowers through mist or the moon in water, making it impossible to see clearly, but her exquisite, fair, and beautiful silhouette suggested a truly peerless appearance.

Her figure was exceptionally tall and graceful, with a waterfall of dark hair cascading over her shoulders, half draped over her shoulders and half falling to her high, rounded hips, like the softest silk.

The red dress, woven from an unknown material, resembled the evening glow in the sky or the tail feathers of a Phoenix, shimmering with the heavens and earth, reflecting her exquisite figure with a dreamlike, dazzling luster, making her incomparable.

Although her face and figure were indistinct and hard to see clearly, whether intentionally or not, the bosom of her dress was proudly and assertively prominent, as if it could burst at any moment, revealing glimpses of her incredibly fair skin.

Below her slender waist, the red skirt was slit up to her thighs, and as the wind blew, the skirt fluttered, occasionally revealing a glimpse of her delicate, snow-white skin, making one dizzy and mesmerized, wanting to further admire this breathtaking temptation and sink beneath her skirt.

“A Nascent Soul True Lord!”

Lu Quanzhen gazed at this mature and alluring beautiful woman, his heart pounding uncontrollably, realizing that this was a peerless enchantress who could bring chaos to the world!

But he instantly regained his composure, not daring to harbor any disrespectful thoughts.

A Nascent Soul True Lord!

This woman was a Nascent Soul True Lord!

And the Xu Xuanzi she spoke of was the owner of this island, also a Nascent Soul cultivator.

That this woman dared to challenge a Nascent Soul True Lord, her identity and strength were self-evident.

Lu Quanzhen now only cursed his bad luck inwardly, never expecting to encounter such a situation right after leaving home.

If two Nascent Soul cultivators were to fight, it might not sink the island, but it would definitely cause massive repercussions, affecting the area around Xu Xuan Island, and possibly even leading to a lockdown of the island.

“Who is that, daring to call the Island Master by his name!”

“A Nascent Soul True Lord, that’s a Nascent Soul True Lord!”

“This woman seems to be the Second Palace Mistress Shen Baishuang, the ‘Jade Faced Rakshasa’ of Penglai Island’s Goddess Palace!”

Not only Lu Quanzhen, but all the Cultivators on Xu Xuan Island were startled by the Aura and voice, looking up at the sky and exclaiming in low voices.

Many were overwhelmed by the woman’s indistinct, ethereal appearance and figure, and her awe-inspiring Divine Might, losing control of their minds and souls.

“Greetings, Lord Shen, may I ask why Palace Mistress has graced my Xu Xuan Island with her presence? I will go report to the Old Ancestor.”

Immediately, a Core Formation cultivator flew out, bowing to the red-clad woman through the Formation, not daring to face her directly, fearing his mind would falter and he would be annihilated by her.

“Why bother with such trouble!”

The stunning woman in red took a light step, her alabaster-white calves adorned with exquisite embroidered shoes that resembled the evening clouds in the sky.

The intricate patterns on the shoes seemed to depict a hundred flowers blooming and spiritual birds ready to take flight, forming a crimson glow that added an air of ultimate luxury and nobility to her mature and fiery figure.

As her words fell, an unparalleled Nascent Soul Divine Might descended upon the island’s grand Formation, causing the waters around the island to surge in massive waves, and the hazy spiritual light of the Formation flickered and rumbled.

The next moment.

“Shen Baishuang, what business do you have at my Xu Xuan Island!”

An old voice, like a grand bell, echoed, filling the world with a heavy majesty.

Xu Xuanzi!

Everyone knew that this voice came from the owner of this island!

“This woman is the Second Palace Mistress Shen Baishuang of the Goddess Palace?”

Lu Quanzhen glanced at the red-clad woman in the sky again, a slight surprise in his heart.

Having been in the Star Constellation Sea for so many years, he had some understanding of the situation here.

And as one of the top powers, Penglai Island and the Goddess Palace were naturally well-known.

Great Palace Master, Shen Jianjia, one of the top Nascent Soul cultivators in the Star Constellation Sea!

Not only was her cultivation profound, but she was also peerlessly beautiful and widely renowned. In her early years, she was even pursued by the Star Constellation Sea’s foremost Demonic Lord, the Six Paths Devil Lord, and the Star Constellation Sea’s foremost Alchemist.

Second Palace Mistress, Shen Baishuang.

Although her strength was not as great as her elder sister Shen Jianjia, she was also peerlessly beautiful. She broke through to Nascent Soul a hundred years ago, and like her sister Shen Jianjia, her beauty was renowned throughout the Star Constellation Sea.

Moreover, besides the background of the Goddess Palace, the Old Master of Zhujian Mountain Villa had gone to the Goddess Palace years ago to propose marriage for his son Lin Yuanting, and an engagement was set with this Second Palace Mistress.

Therefore, behind this Second Palace Mistress, besides the Goddess Palace, there was also Zhujian Mountain Villa, a Nascent Soul-level power, making her virtually untouchable!

“I remember this Second Palace Mistress Shen only broke through to Nascent Soul a hundred years ago, how dare she provoke Xu Xuan Island?”

“You must not have heard of this Second Palace Mistress’s reputation. She is known as ‘Rouge Tiger’ and ‘Jade Faced Rakshasa’, often slaughtering islands and annihilating sects at will.”

“Since she broke through to Nascent Soul, within the scope of Penglai Island, any challenging force has been annihilated by her. The most interesting incident was forty years ago, when a certain force was connected to Zhujian Mountain Villa, and her husband Lin Yuanting came to stop her, but she directly beat him into serious injury.”

“Hiss, that fierce? Isn’t her husband the Villa Master of Zhujian Mountain Villa, Lord Yuanwei?”

After this Second Palace Mistress broke through to Nascent Soul, she was active in the Star Constellation Sea for many years, so there were many rumors about her.

However, most Cultivators were not very interested in official news and rumors, but rather in some unofficial gossip.

For example, the widely renowned Second Palace Mistress of the Goddess Palace and her husband Lin Yuanting did not get along.

“Half a year ago, a batch of important goods from my Zhujian Mountain Villa was ambushed, and one of the attackers was from your Xu Xuan Island. Therefore, this Palace Mistress has come to demand an explanation!”

Shen Baishuang’s expression was cold and severe as she stood high in the sky, like a red-clad empress looking down upon all living beings as mere ants, exuding an authoritative Aura.

“Even if this matter were related to me, which it is not, for you to come to my Xu Xuan Island so aggressively to demand accountability, do you truly think my Xu Xuan Island is easily bullied!”

Although Xu Xuan Island’s strength was far inferior to Penglai Island, a Nascent Soul could not be insulted!

As an old Nascent Soul cultivator in the Star Constellation Sea and a venerable Old Ancestor, how could he, Xu Xuanzi, show weakness when someone came to provoke him at his doorstep!

“Since that’s the case, let’s settle it with our hands!”

Shen Baishuang snorted coldly, raised her fair, jade-like hand, and boundless crimson light spread, striking towards Xu Xuan Island, causing many buildings outside the island’s grand Formation to explode and collapse with ‘rumbling’ sounds.

“Oh no!”

“It’s over, the two Nascent Soul cultivators aren’t really going to fight, are they?”

“Xu Xuan Island is protected by a Fourth Grade Formation, this Lord Shen cannot break through it, but with her methods of annihilating sects and families, the Jade Faced Rakshasa, will she not slaughter all of us who have entered the island?”

Many Cultivators on the island watched this scene with solemn, fearful, and terrified expressions, their hearts trembling.

“Shen Baishuang, do you think I wouldn’t dare to touch you just because you have your sister backing you?!”

From deep within Xu Xuan Island, an old man emerged, his entire body enveloped in a deep blue glow, exuding a surging Nascent Soul Divine Might as he looked towards Shen Baishuang.

However, the beautiful woman in red took another step, and the mere clash of their Nascent Soul domains and Auras caused the island to tremble, and the sea within dozens of miles to boil and roar, forming hurricane-like waterspouts.

“Is this the Divine Might of a Nascent Soul?”

At this moment, not only the many Loose Cultivators on the island, but even Lu Quanzhen felt a chill in his heart, not daring to breathe loudly.

After all, under such power, they could only wait for the battle to cease on the island.

If not for the protection of the grand Formation, the mere Nascent Soul Divine Might and field Aura could annihilate most of the Cultivators on the island.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The old man, under the Fourth Grade Formation of Xu Xuan Island, surged with power, overwhelming the Second Palace Mistress of the Goddess Palace.

But this Second Palace Mistress of the Goddess Palace lightly raised her fair, jade-like hand, and an ancient sword, adorned with golden patterns and flowing with crimson light, appeared. With a single slash forward, it was as if a Golden Crow Phoenix flew out.

Besides this ancient sword, a vast, azure ancient mirror, like a boundless blue wave, appeared above Shen Baishuang’s head, resembling a bright moon, confronting Xu Xuanzi.

“This sword, could it be the ‘Phoenix Seeking Phoenix’ from Zhujian Mountain Villa? Rumor has it that the Old Master used this sword as a betrothal gift to facilitate the marriage between Lord Yuanwei and this Lord Shen.”

“I heard that this Lord Shen, soon after reaching Nascent Soul, could already contend with veteran Nascent Souls, all thanks to several Spirit Treasures from Zhujian Mountain Villa.”

“That’s right, look at her Magic Robe, bracelet, and the ancient mirror above her head, all are Spirit Treasures.”

“Alas, having a good sister and a good Dao Companion is truly wonderful.”

Although Zhujian Mountain Villa was renowned for Artifact Refining, they did not only forge swords.

In his early years, the Old Master was a well-known Fourth Grade Artifact Refining Grandmaster throughout the Star Constellation Sea, producing many exquisite Spirit Treasures that brought him fame across the Star Constellation Sea!

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Terrifying Nascent Soul Divine Might continuously clashed and collided, space twisted and shattered, and an irresistible circular shockwave relentlessly destroyed everything in its path.

Xu Xuan Island shook incessantly, the grand Formation flickered on and off, and tsunamis surged in waves from all directions, sweeping across the surrounding area.

Shen Baishuang, relying on several Spirit Treasures, showed no weakness against Xu Xuanzi, an old Nascent Soul, and even subtly gained the upper hand while he controlled the Fourth Grade Formation.

However, facing a Fourth Grade Forbidden Formation, this Lord Shen could not break through it.

Moreover, a Nascent Soul cultivator controlling multiple Spirit Treasures consumed a lot of Qi, making continuous bursts impossible.

Indeed, a quarter of an hour later, Shen Baishuang gained the upper hand and said with an imposing Aura, “Xu Xuanzi, consider this a warning to you, old ghost. If I find out again that your Xu Xuan Island is secretly involved with those factions, it won’t be just me coming next time!”

As her words fell, she slashed forward with the ‘Phoenix Seeking Phoenix’ in her hand, tearing through the void. With a light step of her red embroidered shoes, her figure gracefully departed, leaving only a trail of brilliant crimson light.

“Phew!”

Seeing Shen Baishuang leave, the Cultivators on Xu Xuan Island all breathed a sigh of relief, truly fearing that the two would continue to fight.

If they truly unleashed their full power, provoking the Goddess Palace and Zhujian Mountain Villa to act with full force, Xu Xuan Island might genuinely be sunk.

“So domineering!”

“Too strong!”

Some people looked at the direction Shen Baishuang had left, their minds involuntarily conjuring the image of her stunning, graceful, and mature figure beneath her red dress.

Although her face was unseen, her allure was too great, sparking endless imagination.

“No wonder the Old Master of Zhujian Mountain Villa wanted to arrange this marriage for Lord Yuanwei in his early years. Rumor has it that Lord Yuanwei’s Aptitude and Heart-Nature were mediocre, and he only managed to reach Nascent Soul through the Old Master’s full dedication, making him unable to truly hold onto this legacy.”

“Having a good father is truly wonderful. Not only does he cultivate you to Nascent Soul, but he also helps you marry a wife like that.”

“Alas, if I had a good father, I wouldn’t still be stuck in Foundation Establishment after more than a hundred years.”

“This Second Palace Mistress is too domineering; ordinary people simply cannot control her. Rumor has it that Lord Yuanwei and this Second Palace Mistress have a strained relationship because the Second Palace Mistress is too strong and can’t stand his timid personality.”

“Lord Yuanwei is a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, how could his personality be timid?”

“Hehe, I heard that Lord Yuanwei secretly admired the Great Palace Master of the Goddess Palace and previously wanted to marry her. This matter was discovered by the Second Palace Mistress, leading to their marital discord.”

“Why did I hear that Lord Yuanwei actually likes the Third Palace Master Shen Yiren? After all, the Third Palace Master is not only as beautiful and well-figured as her two elder sisters, but also approachable, helpful to the weak, and benevolent.”

“If only I could marry the Third Palace Master, with two such powerful sisters-in-law, I could walk sideways in the Star Constellation Sea!”

As the crisis on Xu Xuan Island was resolved, the Cultivators in the city also put down their worries and began to chat and gossip.

The three Palace Mistresses of Penglai Island’s Goddess Palace were the Fairies and goddesses in countless people’s hearts, and with many true and false rumors about them, they were naturally a popular topic of conversation.

“Penglai Island, Goddess Palace.”

Lu Quanzhen walked through the city, listening to this gossip, and gently shook his head.

The situation here in the Star Constellation Sea was indeed different from Jiang Country; there were many Nascent Soul cultivators, which meant that even Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators could learn some information about Nascent Soul True Lords.

If it were Jiang Country, besides their names, ordinary Cultivators would have no idea about the situation of Nascent Soul True Lords.

However, among all these people’s words, probably not a single one was truthful.

After all, whose intelligence network could possibly know about the family affairs of a Nascent Soul True Lord?

Nevertheless, Lu Quanzhen’s own father had affairs everywhere, and whenever he returned home, he would always see unexpected aunts, so he couldn’t help but wonder if his father knew a certain Palace Mistress of the Goddess Palace?

Bihu Mountain, Xumi Grotto-heaven, Chang Sheng Hall.

Lu Changsheng was currently helping Ling Zixiao condense her Golden Core.

Suddenly, he felt a pure and dense surge of Qi enter his Qi Sea Dantian, guessing that it must be his son Lu Quanzhen or his daughter Nangong Yaoyao breaking through in cultivation.

After all, it had been a few years since both of them broke through to Core Formation.

[Name: Lu Quanzhen]

[Lifespan: 95 / 341]

[Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, Kunpeng Demon Body (High-Grade Spirit Body)]

[Cultivation: Core Formation Second Layer]

[Ability: Combat Compatibility (81%)]

“It’s Quanzhen indeed.”

With a thought from Lu Changsheng, his son Lu Quanzhen’s System panel appeared.

Seeing his son’s lifespan stable, he felt much more at ease and planned to visit the Star Constellation Sea once he finished here and the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale broke through.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Lu Quanzhen’s current strength would not allow him to cross the Great Dream Marsh and return.

“Counting the time, it’s been almost a hundred years since I embarked on the path of cultivation.”

Looking at his son’s age, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought that in a few months, it would be a hundred years since he Awoke his memories on Qingyun Sect’s Mind Inquiry Stage.

Thinking of a hundred years, from a young man who was once lost and helpless, eliminated by the immortal sect, and could only choose to become a live-in son-in-law, he had unconsciously become a mountain master and city lord. Lu Changsheng felt quite emotional.

Without overthinking, he continued to look at Ling Zixiao in front of him, focusing on her Core Formation process.

Originally, Lu Changsheng intended to help Ling Zixiao form her Golden Core by simulating the Twelve Heavens Devil God Art through the Yin Yang Creation Scripture.

However, with the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art and the heavenly start of a shared Magic Treasure, Ling Zixiao stated that there would be even more difficult Nascent Soul and even Soul Transformation stages in the future.

If she relied entirely on Lu Changsheng for her Core Formation Breakthrough, how could she keep up with him in the future? She chose to do it herself, to temper herself and comprehend the profound mysteries within it.

Naturally, Lu Changsheng respected this and let Ling Zixiao proceed on her own.
