Chapter 704: Magic fog, marriage!
The Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.
The yin wind howled, and ghostly mists blurred the surroundings.
A demonic ape with a black face and fangs, a massive body, and swirling black mist, was extracting the essence of flesh and blood, the very source, from the mountain-like body of a headless lizard.
When the last trace of demonic energy and the essence of flesh and blood of the two-headed demonized lizard were absorbed by the Soul-Devouring Beast, its ferocious body shrouded in black mist gradually shrank, transforming back into a small, adorable macaque, only a few inches long.
“Burp ~”
The Soul-Devouring Beast let out a full burp, then hugged the beast core, almost as big as its body, and lazily looked at Lu Changsheng, indicating that it wanted to sleep now.
Even though the Soul-Devouring Beast was born to restrain ghosts, demons, and corpses, and could evolve itself by absorbing souls, devouring ghosts, and demonic essences.
But after entering the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, devouring so many yin soul essences, and eating most of the demonized flesh and blood essence of a fourth-order demonized beast, it was a bit full and needed to sleep to quickly digest, so as to grow and advance.
“You rest well.”
Lu Changsheng was very happy to see this situation, and raised his hand towards it, but signaled it not to sleep completely.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak.”
The Soul-Devouring Beast nodded in response, and then rushed into Lu Changsheng’s sleeve, directly hugging the beast core and snoring loudly.
However, in this state, it was not completely asleep.
If it encountered a fourth-order demonized beast, or a fierce ghost king, it would wake up to warn.
The Five Poison Sect Master next to him looked at the shriveled and broken two-headed lizard in front, and then looked at the Soul-Devouring Beast in Lu Changsheng’s sleeve, with a look of emotion.
It was really hard to imagine that such a cute and harmless little beast actually possessed such amazing combat power and appetite.
“Could this beast be some kind of true spirit-level bloodline demon beast?”
A Youduo thought to herself, looking at Lu Changsheng with a little more awe in her eyes.
The latter’s two spirit pets, the golden Peng bird and the Soul-Devouring Beast, both showed combat power far exceeding ordinary heaven-rank bloodline demon beasts.
Even if they are not true true spirit-level bloodline demon beasts, they must have awakened and activated the true spirit bloodline!
Once they advance to the fourth order, their combat power will be terrifying and far superior to those of the same rank!
“Let’s go.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t care about A Youduo’s gaze, smiled at her, and then reached out and rubbed the loose hair under her silver hairpin.
Although this Five Poison Sect Master was hundreds of years older than him.
But the other party’s usual appearance made him feel a little pity.
“Hmm ~”
If it were someone else, this action would be blatant humiliation.
But Lu Changsheng doing this, in the eyes of the Five Poison Sect Master, was a kind of intimate behavior, without the slightest rejection, and she responded softly.
Two spotless white and tender little feet were three feet off the ground, walking side by side with Lu Changsheng.
Several days later, Lu Changsheng and A Youduo were searching in a rift valley.
Suddenly, a dark-colored mist spread, approaching from far away, wanting to engulf the two.
“Woo woo woo — —”
The mist was like the wailing of fierce ghosts, with dark clouds pressing down, forming an overwhelming vortex.
“Soul-Devourer!”
Lu Changsheng looked at the black mist in front of him, which seemed to devour everything and was like a hurricane, his expression solemn, and he slashed out with the Da Luo Sword Embryo, and signaled the Soul-Devouring Beast to wake up and attack.
The reason why he and A Youduo were so relaxed on this trip was that if they encountered any yin wind, ghost mist, or spirit monsters, they could let the Soul-Devouring Beast solve them directly.
Otherwise, even if he and A Youduo were there, they would not dare to search in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons for such a long time, or even spend physical strength and mana to kill a fourth-order demonized beast.
However, when the Soul-Devouring Beast woke up, the light yellow glow from its nose could only slightly disperse the black mist in front of it, and could not sweep it all away as before.
“Master, this should be the natural disaster of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons [Demonic Mist], endless and boundless, we must leave quickly.”
A Youduo looked at the increasingly fierce black mist, as if it was about to turn into a tornado, and immediately said, signaling Lu Changsheng to leave.
“Demonic Mist?”
Lu Changsheng’s face was slightly condensed, knowing that the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, or rather, most restricted areas, would have some natural disasters.
Just like the Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer, in the Taixu, in addition to the Gang Wind turbulence, there may also be thunderstorms, absolute spirit, heavenly mist and other natural disasters.
No one knows what the specific principle is, only knowing that if you encounter it, it is best to avoid it.
He didn’t act stubbornly, constantly waving the Da Luo Sword Embryo in his hand, and quickly left with A Youduo and the Golden-Winged Roc.
During this process, the sword light slashed into the Demonic Mist, as if fighting a ghost king, but Taiyi’s divine soul and Fiery Eyes could not see anything.
After a long time, Lu Changsheng and A Youduo left the Demonic Mist area, exhaling a long breath of foul air.
“No wonder it is said that only Nascent Soul cultivators dare to step into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. If Core Formation cultivators encounter such a natural disaster, unless they have secret treasures, they will have no chance to escape.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, it was the first time he had encountered such an unexpected natural disaster.
He and A Youduo rested for a while, and then continued to search the few places where the [Gu God Bowl] might have been lost.
In addition to the Demonic Mist just now, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons also had fourth-order demonized beasts that were even more powerful than the two-headed demonized lizard.
Faced with this kind, even Lu Changsheng and A Youduo could only avoid its edge.
Or, through the earlier method, one person would hold back the beast, and the other would go in to search.
After all, the prerequisite for killing a fourth-order demonized beast was that the two could not be injured.
Once seriously injured in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, it would be very dangerous and difficult to get out.
Time passed little by little.
Although the two did not find the [Gu God Bowl], the harvest along the way was quite rich, obtaining many third-order magic cores, beast materials, and demonic and ghostly natural treasures.
Although Lu Changsheng himself could not use much, the role of the Five Poison Sect was shown at this time. He could ask the Five Poison Sect Master to help deal with it and exchange it for other resources he needed.
At the same time.
Lu Miaoge, Lu Pingan and others came to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Without shouting like Lu Changsheng did when he went to the Qingyun Sect to propose marriage in his early years, Qin Yi had already received the news and was looking forward to it outside the mountain gate.
“Lu Pingan.”
Qin Yi was dressed in a Heavenly Sword Sect disciple’s sword robe, her figure tall and graceful, like a straight sword bamboo in the spring sun.
Her dark hair was lightly tied up, and her beautiful face had a few traces of time, but it still revealed a heroic and sassy demeanor.
Seeing the group of people beside Lu Pingan, a bit of restraint welled up on her face, and she cupped her hands and said, “Greetings, True Person Miaoge.”
“Little Qin, long time no see.”
Lu Miaoge had a gentle and watery temperament, and stepped forward kindly, making people instinctively feel good, and said, “Just call me Aunt.”
“Aunt.”
Qin Yi had none of her usual sharpness, and called out obediently.
Not to mention that the Lu Miaoge in front of her was Lu Pingan’s elder, just her identity as a Core Formation True Person was enough to make her treat her with respect.
“Sister Qin.”
“Sister-in-law.”
At this time, Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingqi and others next to them also stepped forward to call out.
“Xiao He, Wangshu”
Qin Yi had met Lu Linghe and also knew Lu Wangshu, and responded with a smile, and then signaled Lu Pingan to introduce the other people.
Before they could talk more, the Heavenly Sword Sect sensed Lu Miaoge’s Core Formation aura, and a Core Formation True Person came out to receive them.
“So it is True Person Miaoge, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. May I ask what brings True Person to my Heavenly Sword Sect?”
This Core Formation True Person recognized Lu Miaoge and was very polite.
Not to mention that Core Formation True People are honored guests wherever they go, the Heavenly Sword Sect will give face.
Just because of the relationship with the Tianfu Lu family, the Heavenly Sword Sect will also give some face, and it is impossible for them to look down on people and deliberately make things difficult.
“The main purpose of this visit to your sect is for my son Lu Pingan’s marriage.”
Lu Miaoge was dressed in a snow-white palace dress, with a noble and elegant temperament, and said aloud.
“Marriage?”
This Core Formation True Person saw Lu Pingan and Qin Yi and instantly guessed what was going on.
The Heavenly Sword Sect does not prohibit its disciples from starting a family and finding Taoist companions.
It’s just that no matter which force, they will set some regulations in this regard, so that disciples cannot start a family at will and leave the sect.
“If the two are in love with each other and have the same aspirations, and can form a good relationship, it is also a good thing, True Person please come inside.”
Although it is rare for sect disciples like Qin Yi to marry out.
But the Tianfu Lu family, with three Core Formations in one family, and the ancestor Lu Changsheng is also the Deputy City Lord of the Great Dream Immortal City, his Heavenly Sword Sect does not mind having such a relationship.
Moreover, he found that when he looked at Lu Pingan, he couldn’t immediately discern his cultivation level, which made him pause inwardly.
The marriage between Lu Pingan and Qin Yi proceeded very smoothly.
After all, in such matters, the two were deeply in love.
Lu Pingan was not some unknown rogue cultivator, and his family background was impeccable, with extraordinary talent; Qin Yi was not some sword dao prodigy destined to marry outside the sect.
“Real Person Feixue, this is the betrothal gift prepared by my husband,” Lu Miaoge said, handing a gift box to Lan Ruoxue.
Since they came to propose marriage, the Lu family would naturally prepare a betrothal gift.
This not only represented their sincerity and importance to the marriage but also represented respect for the bride’s side, the Heavenly Sword Sect!
“One top-grade Tier 3 talisman, six high-grade Tier 3 talismans, six mid-grade Tier 3 talismans, and six low-grade Tier 3 talismans!”
Lan Ruoxue and the Heavenly Sword Sect Master were both astonished when they saw the list of gifts.
Mid-grade and low-grade Tier 3 talismans were common for the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But when it came to high-grade Tier 3 talismans, they were extremely precious, belonging to strategic-level resources!
As for top-grade Tier 3 talismans, even the Heavenly Sword Sect had a limited number.
Now that the Lu family had given this betrothal gift, it could be said that their sincerity was overflowing!
Moreover, with this marriage, their Heavenly Sword Sect would have another layer of relationship with Lu Changsheng, the top talisman master of the Jiang Kingdom.
If Lu Changsheng could stably create top-grade Tier 3 talismans and advance to a Tier 4 talisman master, then he would definitely be among the top cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage!
“Your esteemed family is very generous!”
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master chuckled and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s settle this matter. I wonder if Real Person Miaoge and Real Person Changsheng have decided on an auspicious wedding day?”
“Regarding this matter, my husband and I have not yet decided. We plan to hold this wedding together with Pingan’s Core Formation celebration,” Lu Miaoge said with a smile, releasing a major piece of news in a light and calm voice.
“Core Formation Celebration!”
“This child has indeed broken through to Core Formation!”
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master and Lan Ruoxue both looked at Lu Pingan, who was not far away.
When he first saw the latter, he had guessed and suspected that Lu Pingan had broken through to Core Formation.
It was just that Lu Pingan’s cultivation and mana were concealed by a magical treasure, and they could not use their divine powers to forcibly pry without a reason.
“Your son has broken through to Core Formation?”
Although he had already guessed it, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master was still slightly surprised.
Or rather, Lu Pingan breaking through to Core Formation alone was very normal.
But placing it in the Heavenly Talisman Lu family gave people a very abnormal, beyond common sense feeling.
The ancestor Lu Changsheng, starting as a rogue cultivator and marrying into the family, then achieving Core Formation in less than a hundred years!
Ten years later, the Lu Miaoge in front of him, with the help of Lu Changsheng, broke through to Core Formation.
At the same time, Lu Qingshan, a member of the Lu family who joined the Golden Sun Sect of the Yue Kingdom, broke through to Core Formation and became one of the Nascent Soul seeds of the Yue Kingdom.
Now, another member of the Lu family has broken through to Core Formation.
Although the growth trajectories of the four, except for Lu Changsheng, were all very reasonable and traceable.
But placing them in the same family, as husband and wife, father and son relationship, gave people a feeling of…
Looking at the history of the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world, no family has grown to this point in just over a hundred years, producing so many talented children.
“Pingan obtained some opportunities while traveling outside, so he successfully broke through to Core Formation,” Lu Miaoge responded softly.
“Your esteemed family is skilled in teaching children and has deep fortune,” the Heavenly Sword Sect Master praised with emotion, without asking too much.
After all, asking too much about this kind of thing was very abrupt.
And there were many unreasonable things in the cultivation world.
Looking at the long years, I don’t know how many lucky people were born who sounded absurd but held the fortune of heaven and earth.
For example, in the history of the Southern Wilderness, there was even a Nascent Soul Great Lord with a ninth-grade spiritual root who achieved great things late in life.
According to normal circumstances, with a ninth-grade spiritual root, even foundation building was extremely difficult, but this person stubbornly defied fate and reached the peak of the cultivation world!
“I heard that your son Lu Qingshan performed very well in the Liang-Yue War and is also one of the few who left his name on the stone tablet of our Heavenly Sword Sect. Does Real Person Miaoge want to take a look?”
After finalizing the marriage, Lan Ruoxue signaled Qin Yi to take Lu Pingan and others to stroll around the Heavenly Sword Sect and stay for a few days.
“I also heard about this matter in my early years and have always wanted to come to your sect to take a look,” Lu Miaoge said, a hint of maternal charm flowing in her beautiful eyes when she spoke of her son Lu Qingshan.
Although she tried to take care of the disciples of the Bihu Mountain Lu family as much as possible, she would ultimately love the children of herself and her sister Lu Miaohuan a little more.
Immediately, the group came to the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Questioning Platform, Heavenly Sword Tablet, and other places to play.
“Sister Qin, is there any reward for successfully questioning the sword?” Lu Wangshu asked, looking at the words on the Heavenly Sword Tablet.
Lu Lingxiao had also received an invitation to question the sword from the Heavenly Sword Sect in his early years, but the latter did not participate.
“If you successfully question the sword, you can leave your name in the Heavenly Sword Sect. If you want to join the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future, you are always welcome,” Qin Yi said with some emotion, not expecting that Lu Qingshan, whose fame spread throughout the Heavenly Sword Sect in his early years, was Lu Pingan’s younger brother.
Lu Wangshu pouted her red lips when she heard this, thinking that this Heavenly Sword Sect, as the overlord of the Jiang Kingdom, was really stingy.
Qin Yi seemed to see through her thoughts and said that leaving a name in the Heavenly Sword Sect meant that not only the Heavenly Sword Sect but also any sect or force would be willing to open its doors.
And many forces were willing to befriend such geniuses.
Moreover, questioning the sword and sparring at the Heavenly Sword Sect was a huge gain for many geniuses.
Lu Wangshu nodded slightly, probably understanding.
If she successfully questioned the sword, not only herself but also the entire family’s reputation would spread throughout the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world.
At that time, she could even obtain a lot of investment through this reputation.
But thinking that her family was not lacking in reputation, and that she would have to consume talismans and puppets when sparring with others, she felt that it was better to forget it.
Heavenly Sword Sect Hall.
“Could this Heavenly Talisman Lu family also be a lucky one born with the fortune of heaven and earth?”
“True Lord once said that whenever a great calamity descends, it will also be accompanied by a brilliant era… In the past hundred years, geniuses in the Southern Wilderness have emerged one after another, which is also verifying the words of True Lord…”
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master stood with his hands behind his back in the hall, his eyes slightly narrowed, and muttered in his heart.
He had paid attention to the Heavenly Talisman Lu family in his early years.
Today, Lu Miaoge brought Lu Pingan to propose marriage, so he reviewed all the intelligence information about Bihu Mountain, the Heavenly Talisman Lu family, and Lu Changsheng.
After reading it carefully, he only had one feeling: too smooth!
This Lu Changsheng’s growth trajectory was simply too smooth, as if he hadn’t encountered any setbacks or obstacles.
Or rather, he encountered many setbacks and obstacles, but he could always solve them unexpectedly.
Therefore, from this intelligence information, he analyzed a lot of news, that is, Lu Changsheng had obtained a huge opportunity in his early years.
It’s just that as a small cultivator, he has been deliberately hiding his clumsiness, abiding by the rules, and waiting for the day of Core Formation!
He even suspected that this Real Person Changsheng had already broken through to Core Formation.
Breaking through to Core Formation in the Great Dream Immortal City before was just a disguised illusion.
In fact, he had already climbed up to the Great Dream Immortal City long ago, and both his cultivation and talisman techniques were one level higher than what he is showing now.
That’s why he was able to break through to Core Formation and immediately serve as the Deputy City Lord of the Great Dream Immortal City!
“The great calamity is coming, and there are three thousand immortal opportunities. I wonder how many our Heavenly Sword Sect can compete for,” the Heavenly Sword Sect Master looked at the sky and took a deep breath.
War and chaos are the stepping stones to promotion!
And according to True Lord Xuanjian, with the advent of the great calamity, the fortune of heaven and earth and the spiritual atmosphere will also be interfered with and affected, causing the relics, secret realms, and rare treasures in the world to appear more easily.
That’s why many small cultivators also have the opportunity to obtain some opportunities.
In recent years, their Heavenly Sword Sect has tried its best to unite and stabilize the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world and improve its national strength, hoping that it will be able to compete for enough opportunities and benefits when the chaotic calamity appears in the future, so as to go further!
