Chapter 705: Yellow Springs Map, Gu God’s Bowl!

After the marriage was settled, Lu Miaoge, Lu Ping’an, and others stayed at Heaven Sword Sect for seven days before taking their leave, preparing to return to Bihu Mountain.

During this period, Lu Miaoge instructed Lu Wangshu to prepare some wedding invitations and send them to the Divine Blade Shangguan Family and other Family forces under the Heaven Sword Sect’s jurisdiction.

As for Qin Yi, she did not return to Bihu Mountain with Lu Ping’an and the others, but would come later with Feixue True Person.

This was also Heaven Sword Sect’s arrangement; this ceremony would give Tianfu Lu Family and Lu Ping’an enough Face.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, a wedding of this level would not warrant Heaven Sword Sect spending time and effort on it.

Soon after, the purpose of Lu Miaoge, Lu Ping’an, and others coming to Nine Heavens Immortal City gradually became known.

To propose marriage to Heaven Sword Sect!

Immortal Master Miaoge’s trip to Heaven Sword Sect was to propose marriage for Lu Family’s eldest son, Lu Ping’an, to marry a Heaven Sword Sect Disciple.

Although some forces received invitations and knew the inside story—that the person to be married was Feixue True Person’s Disciple from Heaven Sword Sect—many people were unaware, spreading rumors and constantly speculating.

This led to rumors circulating, with some even claiming that Immortal Master Miaoge came to Nine Heavens Immortal City to take a concubine for her Husband.

After all, so many years had passed, and the rumors about Old Ancestor Lu’s fondness for marrying wives and taking concubines and having children were still widely discussed.

Especially after his Breakthrough to Core Formation, his name spread throughout the Jiang Country Cultivation World, becoming known to more people, and many Cultivators regarded Immortal Master Chang Sheng’s life as a role model.

Yue Country.

Unconsciously, the Liang Yue War had been ongoing for more than two years.

Although the Heavenly Silkworm True Lord’s Dharma body from Liang Country’s Beast God Mountain was severed, and Yun Mei True Lord of Chi Shen Sect was severely injured, Liang Country’s top combat strength was greatly reduced.

However, Nascent Soul True Lord would not personally enter the fray, and Liang Country possessed a Fourth-Order Beast King, making it impossible for Yue Country to reclaim the last few lines of defense and territories.

Facing this situation, Yue Country’s Nascent Soul True Lord proposed that both sides send several Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators to duel and decide the outcome of a battle.

Although Yue Country won the Foundation Establishment duels, the Core Formation level battles were now at a disadvantage.

“Roar!!!”

At this moment, on the border battlefield of Yue Country, a celestial wolf’s roar, as if from the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, resounded through the heavens and earth.

A celestial wolf, dark purple all over and robust in build, roared; its fur shimmered with a deep and mysterious luster, reflecting light.

On the forehead of its terrifying wolf head, a dark, ink-like crescent moon mark resembled an eye pupil, emitting a captivating glow.

Its fangs intertwined in a sharp, blood-filled maw, now clamped tightly onto a Medium Grade Magic Treasure, emitting a chilling ‘crack, crack, crack’ sound, hissing as if to directly shatter the Magic Treasure.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!!”

At the same time, high in the sky, a woman enveloped in purple glow, wearing a strapless short skirt, descended from the sky, attacking the Magic Treasure’s owner.

This woman was very tall, with long, dense light purple hair flowing behind her like a cloak, resembling an unparalleled battle maiden, fierce and domineering.

Although her entire being was filled with killing intent, the proud and upright figure encased in the purple strapless top, her soft and rounded arms like tender lotus roots, her flat and smooth, wild and powerful slender waist, and her fair and long, peerlessly beautiful legs, diluted much of this killing intent.

It even made one feel that dying at the hands of such a peerless enchantress would be without regret.

Saintess You Yue’s Aura surged, breaking through layers of air, her fair and powerful jade hand holding a Magic Treasure resembling a knuckle duster, striking out with a punch that drew a dazzling purple glow, causing the Magic Treasure’s owner to spit blood and fly backward.

Immediately after, her crystalline, fair, and powerful slender beautiful legs suddenly pushed off, causing ripples in the Void Realm, and her entire being flew out, her legs like a pair of scissors, intending to cut down the Magic Treasure’s owner.

Even though those beautiful legs and jade feet were alluring, the power that seemed to crack the Void Realm still made the Magic Treasure’s owner activate a life-saving Talisman.

“Your Highness Saintess is mighty!”

The people from Liang Country’s Beast God Mountain faction saw this scene and immediately shouted excitedly, their eyes involuntarily drawn to the Saintess You Yue’s peerless figure and long, beautiful legs.

At this moment, Saintess You Yue was enveloped in a purple glow, accentuating her graceful and undulating curves, making her appear even more captivating, with a hazy beauty that was meant to be admired from afar but not defiled.

The Yue Country Cultivators, upon seeing this scene, looked displeased.

“This Saintess You Yue’s combat strength is truly extraordinary. With this Saintess and the Jiaolong Shengzi of Beast God Mountain, it seems impossible to break through their defenses in a short time.”

On the city wall of Yue Country, Lu Qingshan watched the battlefield from afar, his expression solemn.

Although his combat strength was outstanding and he claimed to be unrivaled among those of the same rank, he had only recently broken through to Core Formation and could not influence the battle.

In Core Formation level battles like this, he didn’t even qualify to participate.

“Retreat!”

Zi Guang Zhenjun of Yue Country, seeing the situation, gave the order with an indifferent expression.

Through this war, they also understood why Liang Country dared to initiate the war.

Had Jin Country not failed in interfering with Jiang Country, losing Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, and had no accidents occurred in the Han Sha Illusion Domain, Yue Country would probably have lost most of its territory by now.

Saintess You Yue returned to the camp under the respectful, admiring, or even infatuated and fervent gazes of countless Cultivators.

With her legs, wrapped in a short skirt, she sat lazily and casually on a tiger-skin chair, habitually crossing her fair beautiful legs, then looked at the maid beside her and asked, “Xiao Zi, is there any news of Ying’er?”

The maid, called ‘Xiao Zi,’ immediately replied respectfully, “Reporting to Your Highness Saintess, we have not yet received any news from Adult Ying’er.”

“Ying’er still has no news?”

Saintess You Yue frowned.

Four years had passed since she instructed Ying’er to go to Jiang Country.

Although traveling from Liang Country through Yue Country to Jiang Country was very dangerous and time-consuming due to the war, four years was completely sufficient.

“Could Ying’er have encountered some accident?”

She straightened her posture slightly, her thighs, wrapped in the purple short skirt, outlining soft, voluptuous curves, very sexy and alluring.

Even Xiao Zi, a female maid of Saintess You Yue, would subconsciously look at her Highness’s sexy and alluring beautiful legs every time.

“It was just a covert trip to Jiang Country. With Ying’er’s strength, it’s impossible for her to encounter danger. If Ying’er had encountered danger, the Soul Lantern would have warned me, and I would have received the message long ago.”

Ying’er was not a Beast God Mountain Disciple, but a personal guard cultivated by the Family for Saintess You Yue, so her Soul Lantern was within the Family, and any situation would be reported to her immediately.

After pondering for a moment, Saintess You Yue instructed her maid to send someone to investigate Ying’er’s movements and also to check on any developments with the Tianfu Lu Family in the past two years.

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Xiao Zi immediately responded respectfully.

Six months later.

Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

The sky was like ink, with no stars or moon, only endless black mist swirling and drifting, rising and falling.

“Roar, roar, roar!!!”

Low, terrifying roars echoed between heaven and earth, forming black hole vortices that gave an indescribable sense of oppression, suffocation, and terror.

A hundred-zhang-tall Yin Dragon and a fierce Ghost King, enveloped in black mist, charged with boundless might towards two tiny streaks of light.

Lu Changsheng’s Nine Treasures Wishful Bone surged in his chest, his Qi and magical power boiling, holding the Great Luo Sword Embryo, he occasionally slashed backward, fleeing with all his might.

The Five Poison Sect Leader beside him was somewhat disheveled and her clothes were torn, her long banner tightly protecting her.

Although neither of them was severely injured, they were both covered in dust and looked disheveled.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

During this process, the Tihun Beast on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder continuously emitted a vast, pale yellow glow, but it could only alleviate the overwhelming might sweeping in from all directions.

After an unknown amount of time, as they approached the outer reaches of Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, the Yin Dragon and the fierce Ghost King roared unwillingly and gave up the pursuit.

“Whew!”

Lu Changsheng and A Youduo, seeing this, found a temporarily safe place and let out a long, weary sigh.

“Master, you’ve worked hard.”

A Youduo’s small Face was pale and tired, and she said to Lu Changsheng with an apologetic expression.

The two of them had delved deeper and deeper in search of the gu god bowl, finally reaching the abyss layer of Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

Here, A Youduo finally sensed the Qi of the gu god bowl.

However, within the abyss, not only was there a Fourth-Order Middle Stage Yin Dragon lurking, but also a Fourth-Order Ghost King.

Even Lu Changsheng and A Youduo were no match for them and could only choose to escape by unleashing their full power, looking disheveled.

Fortunately, they had many means, and the Tihun Beast helped share the pressure, otherwise, they would have been even more severely injured!

“It’s alright, as long as we found it.”

Lu Changsheng took a few deep breaths, exhaling slowly, his Face pale and utterly exhausted.

If they had continued, he would have prepared to use his Nirvana Divine Ability.

At this moment, the Tihun Beast, seeing the danger resolved, ‘squeaked’ and indicated that it wanted to sleep.

“Tihun, you’ve worked hard this time.”

Lu Changsheng put it back into his Universe Shadow Belt.

Their escape this time was so smooth thanks to the Tihun Beast clearing the way.

After more than half a year of eating and digesting, the Tihun Beast was on the verge of reaching Third-Order top-tier.

If not for the lack of time, and if it had completely digested everything and grown to Third-Order top-tier, or even quasi-Fourth-Order, Lu Changsheng would not have been so disheveled when facing the Fourth-Order Yin Dragon and Fourth-Order Ghost King.

So Lu Changsheng planned that once the Tihun Beast finished its sleep and digestion, he would take it to Ten Thousand Demon Abyss again when he had time, to advance it to Fourth-Order as quickly as possible!

After all, compared to the Golden Winged Roc and the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, this Tihun Beast was simply too easy to raise!

Once the latter reached Fourth-Order, it could sweep through Ten Thousand Demon Abyss and perhaps even continue to grow!

After the two rested for a moment.

“Master, besides the gu god bowl, these are some other treasures and Spirit Materials I obtained from the Yin Dragon’s lair. I see this drawing; it also seems to be a damaged Spirit Treasure.”

At this moment, A Youduo took out all the previous gains.

Ten Thousand Demon Abyss lacked Spirit Medicine, and even if there were any, they would be consumed by the Vicious Beast and Ghost Kings there, so most of them were crystal veins.

And besides the gu god bowl, there was also an ancient painting scroll, black as ink, depicting the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.

“Oh?”

As a Third-Order top-tier Artifact Refiner, Lu Changsheng glanced at it and immediately saw that the quality of this scroll was extraordinary, definitely of Spirit Treasure level.

He gently raised his hand, letting the scroll fall into his grasp, and injected a bit of magical power into it. Immediately, the Nine Nether Yellow Springs seemed to begin flowing, and Devilish Qi surged.

But as the magical power circulated, one could see many tiny cracks on the scroll.

“This is indeed a Spirit Treasure, of excellent quality, but it has been damaged, and having been in Ten Thousand Demon Abyss for too long, it has been constantly infiltrated by fierce Devilish Qi, resulting in the complete loss of its spirituality and an excessive amount of demonic Evil Qi.”

Lu Changsheng said with some regret after a careful examination.

This Yellow Springs Diagram, at its peak, was estimated to be a Medium Grade Spirit Treasure.

But due to wear and tear, its artifact spirit was completely annihilated, and the demonic Evil Qi was too heavy, making it barely a Low Grade Spirit Treasure.

Unless he simulated the Twelve Heavens Devil God Art to activate it, it would not be suitable for him.

“However, with Tihun, I can let it absorb as much of the demonic Evil Qi from this ancient painting as possible, and then find a way to repair it, making it a decent Low Grade Spirit Treasure.”

As a top-tier Artifact Refiner, Lu Changsheng instantly had a rough repair plan in mind.

This time in Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, he had gained quite a few Fourth-Order Demonic Path Spirit Materials.

Once the time was ripe, he could use his profound wisdom, unparalleled Comprehension Ability, and supreme talent to elevate his Artifact Refining skills to Fourth-Order, thereby repairing this Spirit Treasure.

However, thinking of his profound wisdom, Comprehension Ability, and talent also needing to be used for Talismans, Formations, Dragon Seeking, and Divination, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

“Is this the gu god bowl?”

He then looked at the gu god bowl, which was dark and almost black, with various symbols and patterns carved on its surface.

Like the Yellow Springs Diagram, the gu god bowl also had some damage and cracks.

And under the influence of the ghostly Qi, Devilish Qi, Evil Qi, and turbid Qi in Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, its spirituality was eroded, and the Yin Qi and demonic Evil Qi were excessive.

“Yes, this is the supreme treasure, the gu god bowl, recorded in our sect. However, judging by its appearance, it must be re-nurtured before it can barely be used.”

A Youduo said with great distress.

However, she was already very satisfied to have found this supreme treasure of the sect.

“Later, I’ll have Tihun clean up the demonic Evil Qi and ghostly Qi from this bowl, which will make it much simpler for you to nurture.”

Lu Changsheng said, knowing that too much Yin Qi and demonic Evil Qi would affect the cultivation of Gu worms.

“Thank you, Master.”

After more than half a year in Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, A Youduo felt even more subservient to Lu Changsheng, and her words and gaze even carried a hint of admiration and attachment.

Aside from their Secret Realm exploration and mutual reliance, most of the effect came from the Seven Afflictions Love Gu.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to make a Demonic Path Nascent Soul Sect Leader fall deeply in love with someone.

“It’s a small matter.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the hint of affection and attachment in A Youduo’s eyes, knowing that his efforts over the past half-year had not been in vain.

Ten days later, with their magical power mostly recovered, the two quietly left Ten Thousand Demon Abyss and returned to Five Poison Sect.

For a Nascent Soul-level force like Five Poison Sect, A Youduo’s half-year seclusion had no impact whatsoever.

So upon their return, A Youduo did not make an appearance; instead, she immediately engaged in Dual Cultivation with Lu Changsheng to heal their injuries.

Several days later, the exquisitely decorated and furnished Sect Leader’s bedchamber was once again in disarray.

“Mmm~”

The Five Poison Sect Leader’s fair, jade-like arm hung limply by the purple jade bed, her expression languidly murmuring weakly.

Her two crystal-clear, spotless, tender white feet were tightly curled together.

Lu Changsheng looked at A Youduo, who seemed to be weeping like a pear blossom bathed in rain, and a wave of guilt surged in his heart.

In fact, he rarely felt this kind of guilt when facing his other wives and concubines.

But for some reason, it was especially strong when facing A Youduo.

Immediately, he quietly embraced her hazy, dreamlike jade body.

A Youduo said nothing, like a pure and pitiful delicate young girl, quietly nestled in Lu Changsheng’s embrace.

Her delicate Face, with a hint of baby fat, was flushed like the evening glow, indescribably beautiful and moving.

Just then.

The door to the outer hall of the bedchamber opened, and light footsteps accompanied by the faint sound of bells rang out.
