Chapter 734: go home

“Kunpeng Egg”

Lu Changsheng naturally knew about the news regarding the Kunpeng Egg.

For these years, almost all top forces in the Star Constellation Sea had been searching for this Kunpeng Egg.

But Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected that his son’s whereabouts would be mysteriously linked to the Kunpeng Egg.

“Could it be that Quanzhen obtained the Kunpeng Egg?”

Lu Changsheng speculated in his heart, finding it too unbelievable.

Numerous Nascent Soul True Monarchs entered the secret realm to compete for opportunities, and he, a early-stage Core Formation cultivator, obtained the greatest opportunity?

If his son obtained the Kunpeng Egg opportunity, then he wouldn’t need to rush.

Perhaps in a few years, or a few decades, his son would return on his own.

However, when he just deduced Lu Quanzhen’s situation, there were no auspicious signs, the fortune was uncertain, indicating that his son had not obtained the Kunpeng Egg opportunity.

Even if he did obtain it, the fortune was unknown.

“Now, all the forces in the Star Constellation Sea are looking for the Kunpeng Egg. Once there’s a clue about the Kunpeng Egg’s whereabouts, numerous Nascent Soul cultivators will surely gather. In this situation, if I want to intervene and find Quanzhen, my strength is insufficient!”

Although Lu Changsheng could fight against Nascent Soul cultivators, and even kill some early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

With his current strength, trying to compete for the Kunpeng Egg among the many forces in the Star Constellation Sea and find his son would be too difficult.

“I’ll go back first, raise the Soul Devouring Beast to the fourth rank as soon as possible, and then bring the Profound Sea Splitting Dragon Whale. This way, when there’s news or a clue about the Kunpeng Egg, I can not only find Quanzhen, but perhaps even compete for this Kunpeng Egg!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly made a decision in his heart.

Before, he had no thoughts about the Kunpeng Egg.

But now that the Kunpeng Egg was linked to his son Lu Quanzhen’s whereabouts, he had to act.

Moreover, having obtained the top-tier cultivation method 《Nine Transformations of True Spirit》, if the family could have another young Kunpeng, it would also be a huge help to the Lu family!

“Also, Old Demon Wugu and True Monarch Shihai.”

“If I can find these two people and obtain more information about Quanzhen, I can make further deductions.”

Lu Changsheng thought of the two people mentioned in the intelligence.

With his current strength, even if he found the two, he couldn’t capture and interrogate them.

But with the Soul Devouring Beast promoted to the fourth rank and the Profound Sea Splitting Dragon Whale, Lu Changsheng had confidence!

Without dwelling on it further, Lu Changsheng returned to the main hall, his face pale, weary, and heavy.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, are you alright?”

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s appearance, Shen Yiren instantly knew that he had consumed essence blood and lifespan for divination.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so weak in such a short time.

“Thank you for your concern, Third Palace Mistress. This Ye just now deduced Wuzhen’s situation based on the medium and clues, but the heavenly secrets resistance was immense, causing a loss of vital energy. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days.”

Lu Changsheng said weakly, his voice lacking strength.

Although Shen Yiren wanted to say that divination should be done in moderation, as it was too harmful to the body.

But concern was paramount, and the Goddess Palace might need to ask Lu Changsheng for divination in the future, so she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

Raising her jade hand slightly, magic power surged, casting a rain of life-filled light on Lu Changsheng, and gently asked, “Fellow Daoist, please rest well. Later, I will send someone to bring some pills to replenish essence blood and vital energy.”

“Thank you, Third Palace Mistress.”

It must be said, this Third Palace Mistress’s attitude of offering help without asking for reasons was truly heartwarming.

“Although I didn’t obtain relevant information from the deduction just now, this Ye wants to go to the Kunpeng Nest ruins to see if I can further deduce Wuzhen’s situation.”

Lu Changsheng planned to go back and head to the Myriad Demon Abyss.

But now that he was a guest elder of the Goddess Palace, leaving the mountain gate naturally required reporting.

Hearing this, Shen Yiren was silent for a moment, then softly said, “I heard that cultivators often frequent the Kunpeng Secret Realm ruins, and even many rogue cultivators gather there. Fellow Daoist, please be careful. If you encounter danger, you can also report the name of my Goddess Palace.”

For guest elders of Lu Changsheng’s level, the Goddess Palace wouldn’t restrict them too much.

Moreover, there was a legitimate reason, and it wasn’t an urgent time for the sect, so there was no reason to refuse.

“Thank you, Third Palace Mistress.”

Lu Changsheng said with a grateful expression, then handed a jade talisman to Shen Yiren, saying, “If there is any more information about Wuzhen, please activate this talisman, or if there is anything urgent, you can also activate this talisman, and this Ye will rush back as soon as possible.”

“Okay~”

Shen Yiren replied with a gentle smile. Seeing Lu Changsheng’s current condition, she didn’t stay long and took her leave.

However, not long after returning, she sent someone to deliver a bottle of expensive pills that nourished vital energy.

“Tsk.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly, poured out a pill, and took it.

Although he had the Chaos Body, a fourth-rank physique, and the Divine Organ of the Kidney, his recovery ability far surpassed that of ordinary people.

After resting well for a few days, his qi and blood would be like a dragon.

But since it was a kind gesture, there was no need to save these. Recovering earlier also made him feel comfortable all over.

Three days later, Lu Changsheng was full of energy and continued to deduce information related to the Kunpeng Egg.

He wanted to know when there would be clues about the Kunpeng Egg, so as to avoid news spreading just as he returned.

However, this kind of divination without a medium or clues had no direction at all, not even a vague or general result.

But in the process of deducing the Kunpeng Egg, Lu Changsheng vaguely perceived that this invisible heavenly secrets resistance was somewhat similar to the heavenly secrets resistance on his son Lu Quanzhen.

“Quanzhen is very likely with the Kunpeng Egg, but the situation is not good, and the fortune is uncertain?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, pondering in his heart.

Before, he had just used the excuse of going to the Kunpeng Nest ruins.

Now he felt it was necessary to go there to see if he could obtain some medium related to the Kunpeng Egg.

If he could obtain clues related to the Kunpeng Egg medium, and then perform divination based on his son Lu Quanzhen’s situation and the double information, he might be able to obtain more information.

After a long while, Lu Changsheng, looking somewhat tired, called Song Yudie over.

“Elder Xuanmu.”

Song Yudie arrived as soon as she received the news, her expression respectful as she saluted.

“Little Song, are you adapting well to your role as manager on Moon Melting Island?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows showed a hint of fatigue as he gently asked Song Yudie before him.

Hearing this, Song Yudie didn’t know if Lu Changsheng was suddenly concerned or if she hadn’t done something well.

She immediately bowed and said, “Reporting to Elder, Yudie was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Elder. At first, it was a little chaotic, but I have gradually adapted…”

“En.”

After showing a few signs of concern, Lu Changsheng also asked if she had any doubts about her cultivation, which made Song Yudie flattered. However, she also took this opportunity to express some of her cultivation doubts.

After giving her some pointers on cultivation matters, Lu Changsheng softly said, “I will be going out for a while. Things on Moon Melting Island will remain as usual. You can help me pay attention to news related to the Kunpeng Egg during your free time.”

“If news of the Kunpeng Egg’s appearance spreads in the Star Constellation Sea, you can crush this jade talisman.”

Although it would be better to ask Shen Yiren for help in inquiring about news related to the Kunpeng Egg.

But the situation with Lu Quanzhen, the inheritor of the Kunpeng Demonic Art, had already caused this Third Palace Mistress to have many suspicions about his identity.

Asking her to pay attention to the Kunpeng Egg information might be a bit awkward.

And in the Star Constellation Sea, Lu Changsheng had no other trusted subordinates available, so after thinking about it, only Song Yudie, the manager, was left.

Song Yudie had thought there was something important just now, but now, hearing this, she knew that the Elder needed to go out for a while, which was why he had casually shown concern for her.

As for the matter of the Kunpeng Egg, she had heard about it.

It was just that this kind of matter was not something she could participate in at her level, so she just treated it as a topic of conversation.

“Please rest assured, Elder Xuanmu.”

She didn’t ask too many questions and replied respectfully.

“En.”

Through physiognomy, seeing that Song Yudie before him was a person who could be barely trusted, Lu Changsheng said no more, gave a few instructions, bestowed three second-rank talismans, and then motioned for her to go about her business.

Then he went to Goddess Peak to report and left the Goddess Palace.

A thousand miles after leaving Penglai Island, Lu Changsheng confirmed that there was no one around. His body flowed with radiant light, transforming into the appearance of True Master Yangming.

Immediately after, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, whose entire body emitted a dark luster, also shed its disguise, its feathers a brilliant golden, dazzling and magnificent.

“Let’s go, Golden Peng.”

Although it took Lu Changsheng two months to travel from the Great Dream Marsh Sea Eye to Penglai Immortal City.

During this process, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng did not travel at full speed.

Now that time was relatively urgent, Lu Changsheng also signaled the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to travel at full speed, even attaching a third-rank Divine Wind Talisman to its neck.

In just one month and two days, Lu Changsheng returned to the junction of the Great Dream Marsh and the Star Constellation Sea.

However, after such a long period of full-speed flight, even the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng was somewhat tired and needed to rest, so Lu Changsheng directly sacrificed the Dust Concealing Banner.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he wanted to see the consumption of teleportation from the Star Constellation Sea to Great Dream Immortal City, how much the endless mist affected teleportation, and then consider building a teleportation transit station.

“Buzz!”

The Dust Concealing Banner erupted with five-colored radiance, enveloping Lu Changsheng, and then transformed into a multi-colored cloud, stirring up ripples and teleporting towards the direction of Great Dream Immortal City.

After a long while, after a dizzying sensation and spatial ripples, Lu Changsheng appeared in the City Lord’s Mansion.

“As expected, there is an impact…”

Lu Changsheng looked at the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones he had previously put into the Dust Concealing Banner, which were almost completely burned up, and let out a long breath.

He knew that the endless mist of the Great Dream Marsh had a certain impact on teleportation.

If he wanted to build a teleportation array, he would have to increase the specifications to ensure stability.

At the same time, Ling Zixiao, sensing the fluctuation of the formation, immediately realized that Lu Changsheng had returned and came to check.

“My lord.”

She looked at Lu Changsheng, whose face was refined and handsome, holding the Dust Concealing Banner, his magic power aura slightly chaotic.

“Zixiao.”

Lu Changsheng immediately stepped forward, held his wife’s hand, and inquired about the situation of the immortal city and the family over the past two years.

Although he knew about his son Lu Lingxiao’s breakthrough to Core Formation.

But seeing Ling Zixiao reporting the good news to him with joy in her eyes, Lu Changsheng was also filled with delight and went with his wife to check on their son’s situation.

“Has my lord’s journey over the past two years been smooth?”

Ling Zixiao also asked Lu Changsheng about his trip to the Star Constellation Sea.

Especially seeing him return using the Dust Concealing Banner, she thought he had encountered some danger.

“It’s not smooth, nor is it not smooth…”

Lu Changsheng told his wife about the situation in the Star Constellation Sea, saying that he had gained a lot of information during this time.

But neither his son Lu Quanzhen nor the Nascent Soul Pill had any leads.

Especially through divination, he vaguely knew that Lu Quanzhen was very likely in a dangerous situation now, and he needed to make some preparations before going there.

“This kind of thing cannot be rushed, husband, you don’t need to be anxious.”

Ling Zixiao comforted her husband.

A Qi Refining cultivator traveling outside to seek Foundation Establishment opportunities might spend more than ten years, or even most of their life.

Lu Changsheng had only been to the Star Constellation Sea for two years. If he had found the Nascent Soul Pill and Nascent Soul opportunity so quickly, that would be astonishing.

Although with her husband’s heaven-defying luck, it seemed normal, two years was still too short, and there was also the time spent traveling back and forth.

“En.”

Lu Changsheng smiled, not feeling too rushed.

After the two arrived at Lu Lingxiao’s cave dwelling, they waited for a quarter of an hour before the latter came out of seclusion.

Wearing a black and red brocade robe, his golden eyes were sharp and full of spirit, his figure tall and strong, his aura noble and imposing, he cupped his hands and bowed: “Father, Mother!”

“Xiao’er, congratulations on your breakthrough to Core Formation.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son before him, said with a smile, then placed his hand on his shoulder, checking his golden core situation.

He could see that his son’s golden core foundation was very deep, and he had done very well.

If he wanted to form a Great Dao Golden Core like himself, he had to have a third-rank body refinement during the Foundation Establishment stage and complete the Dragon Roar Body to have hope.

Otherwise, no matter how much he accumulated, it would be difficult to improve!

After asking about his son’s golden core cultivation situation with concern, Lu Changsheng instructed him to settle down and cultivate spells and divine abilities at home during the following period.

He also told him not to neglect the aspect of formations and to raise his formation skills to the third rank as soon as possible.

“Zixiao, you should also give Xiao’er more guidance on the path of formations during your free time.”

Although his son Lu Lingxiao’s formation talent could only be considered slightly above average.

However, possessing the [Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation] method, the formation patterns and qi meridian flows were clearly visible in his eyes, so learning was twice as effective!

The same was true for Dragon Seeking Art.

However, compared to formations, the effect of Dragon Seeking Art was somewhat singular, and it took too much time to study on his own. Lu Changsheng wouldn’t urge his son to spend all his time and energy on this aspect just to gather lottery chances for himself.

“En~”

Although her son was exceptionally talented and cultivated remarkably, as a third-rank formation master, Ling Zixiao deeply understood the effect and function of formations.

Whether it was traveling outside for experience or defending a territory, formations were indispensable and would be of great help to her son’s future growth.

Mainly, her son’s formation talent was also good.

As for her daughter Lu Linghe, she would never urge the latter to learn alchemy, formations, talismans, artifacts, etc.

Being able to fly with artifacts, control puppets, and use simple formation plates was enough.

Since he had matters to attend to and wanted to go to the Myriad Demon Abyss as soon as possible to raise the Soul Devouring Beast to the fourth rank, Lu Changsheng didn’t delay too much. After spending a few days with Ling Zixiao, Honglian, Meng Xiaochang, and others, he rushed back to Green Lake Mountain.

After returning to Green Lake Mountain, he passed on the first transformation of the 《Nine Transformations of True Spirit》 cultivation method to Lu Ping’an, telling him to study it carefully when he had time, and then spent time with his wife Lu Miaoge and others.

It is worth mentioning that Bai Ling had already broken through to Core Formation.

Although she possessed a thin true spirit bloodline and had high-grade Core Formation spiritual objects like Crystallization Pills and Five Elements Spiritual Fruits, Bai Ling only barely formed a second-rank golden core.

This was normal.

A cultivator’s Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul stages, in addition to their own foundation, were also related to external factors and temperament.

Although Bai Ling was good in all aspects, her heart for cultivation and her mindset were worse than Lu Changsheng’s.

Being able to have a second-rank golden core was already due to her excellent talent and Lu Changsheng’s sufficient preparation.

Otherwise, relying on herself, although she had hope of forming a core, an upper-grade golden core would be absolutely impossible.

In addition to music, Lu Changsheng also suggested that Bai Ling could learn the path of formations from Ling Zixiao when she had time.

With Bai Ling’s personality, she wasn’t good at fighting, but helping to guard the home was no problem.

And after breaking through to Core Formation, her ability to learn anything would greatly improve.
