Chapter 744: Kunpeng eggs fall, head to Black Reef Island
“Second Palace Master?”
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly when Song Yudie announced the Second Palace Master’s visit.
The Third Palace Master had just left not long ago, so why was the Second Palace Master here?
Moreover, as far as he knew, the Second Palace Master, Shen Baishuang, was out searching for the Kun Peng egg. Why had she returned to the Goddess Palace?
Could it be related to the attack on Penglai Immortal City not long ago?
Lu Changsheng felt puzzled, but he still walked out of his cave to greet her.
A moment later, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a luxurious red dress, her figure exceptionally graceful and enchanting.
In this world, there were not many women who could stir the heartstrings of Old Ancestor Lu, only a handful.
But he didn’t expect to meet another one after coming to the Star Constellation Sea for only a few years.
Based on her appearance, Lu Changsheng knew that the red-dressed woman before him was the Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, ranked second among the three Goddesses—Shen Baishuang!
As one of the three great Goddesses of the Goddess Palace, her beauty naturally needed no further explanation.
Her facial features were exquisitely beautiful, and her face, similar to that of the First Palace Master, Shen Jianjia, was fair and rosy, with a hint of delicate pink, like a charming and bright peach blossom in February, full of mature and alluring charm.
Moreover, adorned by the well-tailored dress, her figure was even more enchanting and graceful to the extreme, comparable only to Nangong Mili.
If the First Palace Master, Shen Jianjia, was like a goddess high above, inspiring awe and a desire to conquer her.
Then the Second Palace Master before him was a soul-stirring enchantress, stirring up desires in the hearts of others.
“Xuan Mu greets the Second Palace Master! May I ask what brings the Second Palace Master here in person?”
Old Ancestor Lu did not appear overly captivated. After a brief moment of astonishment and appreciation in his eyes, he cupped his hands in greeting.
Although the Second Palace Master before him exuded a soul-stirring and bone-melting mature charm, Lu Changsheng did not have too many thoughts.
After all, the Second Palace Master before him was a married woman.
He, Lu, would never do anything like Cao Cao!
Moreover, his target was the Third Palace Master.
Shen Baishuang also sized up Lu Changsheng before her.
Seeing that he only paused slightly, with a hint of astonishment and appreciation in his eyes, before returning to normal, she nodded inwardly.
After all, as a woman, a peerless goddess whose beauty was known throughout the Star Constellation Sea, she had absolute confidence in her own charm!
She believed that any normal man who saw her would be unable to resist being captivated.
To be able to remain calm and composed, one must either be a seasoned lover who had seen countless beauties, or have a firm Dao heart, or not be a normal man.
According to her younger sister, Shen Yiren, the Xuan Mu Daoist before her was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had reached this point through chance and hard work.
In this case, coupled with his proficiency in medicine, talisman techniques, and divination, it meant that he spent most of his time on cultivation and had no time for matters of the heart, so he should be a person with a firm Dao heart.
“Elder Xuan Mu, I have come here today to ask you for something.”
Shen Baishuang’s lips curled slightly, and she said with a light smile, her voice as clear as shattered jade, not at all like the soul-stirring charm of her appearance and figure.
But this was also normal. As a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and not a female cultivator who practiced charm techniques, it would be detrimental to her majesty and reputation if she spoke in a coquettish voice.
“Oh? Something you need from me?”
Lu Changsheng was surprised and invited her into the manor’s living room, asking what it was about.
“Elder Xuan Mu, are you aware of the Kun Peng egg?”
Shen Baishuang’s soft, rounded buttocks pressed down on the chair. Her slender, jade-like fingers took the spiritual tea that Lu Changsheng handed her and said.
“The matter of the Kun Peng egg has spread throughout the Star Constellation Sea, so I am naturally aware of it.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
“Over the years, the major forces have been searching for the possible areas where the Kun Peng egg might appear. Currently, several general areas have been identified, so I have returned this time to provide reinforcements.”
“I heard that Elder Xuan Mu is not only proficient in divination but also possesses a fourth-order puppet, so I would like to invite Elder Xuan Mu to come with me.”
Shen Baishuang took a sip of spiritual tea and said slowly, without mentioning that she had been injured by the Six Desire Demoness.
“Reinforcements, Kun Peng egg!?”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat. He felt a sense of having passed through mountains and rivers with no end in sight, only to find a village hidden by willows and bright flowers.
Through divination, he knew that his son, Lu Quanzhen’s whereabouts were related to the Kun Peng egg, and he had been paying attention to information related to the Kun Peng egg, but he had no clue at all.
After all, the Star Constellation Sea was vast and boundless. Even with the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, he could not find a starting point and could only passively wait for information about the Kun Peng egg.
He didn’t expect the Second Palace Master to visit and directly state that they had identified several general areas!
With a general area, he could completely use the bloodline connection between him and his son, Lu Quanzhen, the aura of the Kun Peng nest, and the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror to search.
“Perseverance, a slight decline, but ultimately auspicious!”
Lu Changsheng thought of the hexagram he had calculated before. As long as he maintained perseverance and waited patiently, he would eventually be rewarded for his persistence.
“Elder Xuan Mu, rest assured that as long as you agree to this mission, the palace will give you enough contribution points. If you gain something along the way and make a contribution, the palace will reward you handsomely, even Nascent Soul main ingredients and top-grade Nascent Soul spiritual objects are not out of the question.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng remain silent, Shen Baishuang continued, her beautiful legs crossed under the red skirt, her posture elegant and seductive.
“Second Palace Master, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but my divination skills have only barely entered the third rank, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to play much of a role.”
Lu Changsheng said with a look of difficulty.
Although he was very willing to take on this mission to search for his son, Lu Quanzhen’s situation.
But he certainly couldn’t appear too eager for this kind of mission.
After all, as a guest elder, the contract he signed was very loose. If he heard about this dangerous mission and appeared too eager, it would be easy for people to see that there was a problem.
He had to bargain and strive for enough benefits.
“Elder Xuan Mu doesn’t need to be self-deprecating. Third-rank divination is already enough to calculate and sense good and bad fortune.”
“Moreover, Elder also possesses a fourth-order puppet and a third-order talisman array. His combat power far exceeds ordinary Core Formation cultivators and can be said to be invincible below the Nascent Soul realm.”
Shen Baishuang’s words were not flattery but the truth.
Lu Changsheng’s strength and methods were astonishing and unbelievable, even in the eyes of a Nascent Soul True Monarch like her.
If this kind of top-notch Core Formation cultivator held some trump cards bestowed by a Nascent Soul True Monarch, they could still play a certain role in a Nascent Soul-level battle and influence the balance of the battle.
“Second Palace Master, although I possess a fourth-order puppet, I am not proficient in puppet forging. If it is damaged, it will be difficult to repair, so in recent years, I have never used it unless it is an emergency.”
“Moreover, this puppet needs to be powered by top-grade spirit stones. Although I have some financial resources, it is difficult to use it for a long time.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Second Palace Master before him, whose figure was graceful and plump, gritted his teeth, and continued to decline.
“Rest assured, you don’t need to use the fourth-order puppet unless it is a critical moment. If you encounter an emergency, all your losses will be compensated by my Goddess Palace!”
“As for top-grade spirit stones… these five top-grade spirit stones are enough for your puppet to operate. Are there any other problems?”
Shen Baishuang belonged to a straightforward and domineering personality and did not like to beat around the bush.
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s hesitant appearance, she directly showed a tough attitude and said with a majestic voice.
As she spoke, her jade-like fingers flicked, and five top-grade spirit stones with a shimmering luster flew out of her storage ring.
“Since that’s the case, I can only respectfully obey.”
Although Lu Changsheng had heard of the Second Palace Master’s reputation as the Jade-Faced Rakshasa and Rouge Tiger, he only clearly understood the latter’s character after personally contacting her, so he stood up and cupped his hands in salute.
“Well, rest assured, as long as you make a contribution on this trip, you will definitely be rewarded!”
Seeing that Lu Changsheng had sensibly agreed and did not refuse any further, Shen Baishuang’s expression softened a little.
Having said that, she seemed to think of something and said with a smile that was not a smile: “I heard that you have a good relationship with Yiren. If you make a contribution this time, I can say a few good words for you when the time comes.”
“? ? ?”
Lu Changsheng didn’t expect that his affair with Shen Yiren had reached the ears of this Second Palace Master.
Doesn’t that mean the Great Palace Master also knows?
However, he already had a purpose for Shen Yiren, and now that Shen Baishuang behaved like this, he directly said frankly: “Thank you, Second Palace Master.”
“May I ask Second Palace Master, where is the Kunpeng egg and when will we set off? I’ll prepare a little.”
Lu Changsheng asked again.
“Ten days later.”
Shen Baishuang’s red lips parted slightly, and she uttered a time.
“So urgent?”
Lu Changsheng paused in his heart, then nodded in response.
Shen Baishuang said that she would see him in ten days, and then left without saying anything more, turning into a bright and gorgeous red glow.
The latest novels are available on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
As for testing Lu Changsheng’s situation, there is no rush.
There will be plenty of time and opportunities to go to Black Reef Island later.
Seeing that this Second Palace Master left in a hurry after speaking, without any politeness, Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.
He was, after all, a guest elder of the Goddess Palace, a top-level Core Formation cultivator.
But the latter did not show the demeanor of a Palace Master at all, to win people’s hearts.
However, thinking of the rumors and deeds of this Second Palace Master, Lu Changsheng didn’t care. He summoned the housekeeper, Song Yudie.
He told her that he was going out for a trip, that the latter should handle the affairs of Rongyue Island well, and handed her a list of materials to help collect.
“Yes, Elder.”
Song Yudie guessed that the matter was likely related to the arrival of the Third Palace Master and Second Palace Master today, and did not ask any more questions.
“Have you encountered any problems in your cultivation?”
Lu Changsheng looked refined and handsome, with a gentle smile on his lips, and asked Song Yudie.
Although he doesn’t have much thought to put on Song Yudie now, he will occasionally care about her when he has time.
Song Yudie was immediately flattered, and then happily told her problems in cultivation.
As a top-level Core Formation cultivator, Lu Changsheng naturally found it easy to guide a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After caring about Song Yudie, Lu Changsheng returned to the cave, sacrificed three divination copper coins, and prepared to divine his situation for this trip.
However, this trip is related to the Kunpeng egg and the situation of his son Lu Quanzhen. The hexagrams are vague and unclear, with no fixed number.
Divination is not omnipotent, and requires information media.
And the success rate is related to the causal situation involved.
Like this trip, it not only involves accompanying Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but also involves many top forces in the Star Sea, so the secrets are obscure, chaotic and vague, and difficult to calculate.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Changsheng spent some cost, burned his blood essence, and simply divined his own fortune, whether it would be smooth.
Although the hexagram was still very erratic and the fate was uncertain, Lu Changsheng obtained a rough conclusion in the dark—good and bad fortunes fluctuate, are erratic, be steady and don’t be greedy, then good fortune is greater than bad.
“Sure enough, there is still some danger.”
Lu Changsheng’s face was pale, and he slowly exhaled a turbid breath, knowing that it would still be somewhat difficult to find his son Lu Quanzhen and seize the Kunpeng egg from under the noses of many forces, even Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Be steady and don’t be greedy…
He murmured these eight words in his mouth, knowing that he must not be reckless on this trip, and must be cautious and careful.
The next day, Shen Yiren came to visit again.
She knew that Lu Changsheng had agreed to her second sister Shen Baishuang’s invitation to search for the Kunpeng egg, and was a little worried.
So, on behalf of the Goddess Palace, she sent a bottle of third-order top-grade healing holy medicine and a fourth-order supernatural power talisman, and introduced in detail the top forces in the Star Sea and which Core Formation cultivators to be careful of.
“Thank you, Third Palace Master.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes were gentle and he thanked her sincerely.
Compared to the domineering and straightforward Second Palace Master, he still preferred this beautiful and kind-hearted Third Palace Master.
Ten days later, at the mountain gate of the Goddess Palace.
Shen Baishuang raised her jade hand lightly, and a red glow-like magic weapon rose in the wind, turning into a red cloud several feet wide, carrying Lu Changsheng and several Core Formation cultivators of the Goddess Palace into the ninth heaven gang wind layer.
Although Nascent Soul cultivators can cross the void and travel in the void.
But doing so also puts a certain burden on the Nascent Soul True Monarch, consuming a lot of energy, so under normal circumstances, in order to maintain their state, they will not rush on the road like this.
Shen Baishuang stood at the forefront of the cloud, her exquisite and gorgeous red dress fluttering, echoing the red cloud under her feet, making her beautiful and moving.
The few Core Formation cultivators of the Goddess Palace behind her were very awed by this Second Palace Master. If she didn’t speak, they didn’t dare to disturb her, so they communicated with each other through voice transmission, and took the initiative to greet Lu Changsheng, the recent influential figure of Penglai Island.
These people were all quite strong and had a special skill. Lu Changsheng didn’t act too aloof, and responded very politely and enthusiastically, learning some information from them.
In this way, after a few days of chatting and traveling, the red cloud quickly left the scope of Penglai Island and flew towards Black Reef Island at a speed far exceeding that of Core Formation cultivators.
Nine days later, the cloud approached the Black Reef Island area.
Just then, a blue hurricane swept over and flew over at a faster speed.
“Shapeshifting Demon King!”
The newcomer was a middle-aged man with a tall figure, deep and three-dimensional features, eyes with a blue-green luster, and skin that seemed to be covered with dense scale patterns.
However, from his blue-green eyes, dense skin scales, light blue hair, sharp and slender ears, and faint demonic aura, it could be seen that this was a Demon King!
Fourth-order Shapeshifting Demon King!
“So it’s Palace Master Shen.”
The Shapeshifting Demon King narrowed his long and sharp eyes, greedily looking at Shen Baishuang and Lu Changsheng and others in front of him, and said with a grin, revealing white and sharp teeth.
For a time, the people of the Goddess Palace felt as if they were being watched by some ferocious beast, and their hair stood on end.
“So it’s Great King Canglin. I wonder why you are blocking my way, friend?”
Shen Baishuang recognized the Shapeshifting Demon King in front of her and said in a cold and indifferent voice, the Nascent Soul magic power on her body began to circulate, exuding a faint and terrifying spiritual pressure, as if she was about to attack at any time.
There are many fourth-order Shapeshifting Demon Kings in the Star Sea.
Among them, some Demon Kings choose to actively learn the knowledge and skills of human cultivators, and even conduct commercial trade with humans.
However, although they interact, it does not mean that they are kind to cultivators.
“This king sensed Palace Master Shen’s aura, so I came over to say hello.”
Great King Canglin grinned and smiled, his eyes constantly scanning Lu Changsheng and others.
The main reason it came here was to sense the aura of cultivators and wanted to come over to take advantage of the situation.
But after approaching, it felt a vague and inexplicable aura that attracted it.
However, it recognized Shen Baishuang, the Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, and was unwilling to offend her. It memorized the aura of Lu Changsheng and others, then laughed loudly and turned into a blue hurricane and left.
“There are many Shapeshifting Demon Kings gathered on Black Reef Island. If you act alone later and encounter them, you must be extra careful, state your identity as soon as possible, and send a message to this palace.”
Although Shen Baishuang has a hot and domineering personality, she is very protective of her own people, just like her sister Shen Jianjia, and reminded Lu Changsheng and others.
“We understand.”
Everyone immediately cupped their hands.
Then Shen Baishuang exhorted a few more words about the general situation, drove the cloud and took them into the Black Reef Island area, indicating that they should start searching for the Kunpeng egg.
