Chapter 759: Unknown spirit! Fourth level divination!

Penglai Island, Shennv Peak, Rear Peak.

The cliffs and precipices shrouded in clouds and mist were like a pure land left by the Immortal Realm in the human world.

Shen Yiren, with bright eyes and rosy lips, walked leisurely with Lu Changsheng, chatting and laughing.

Her slender figure, enveloped in a green dress, swayed gracefully, like young grass and tender willows in spring, elegant and vibrant, full of life.

“Speaking of which, I have never heard what Xuanmu Elder seeks, or what his Dao Heart is directed towards.”

At this moment, the beautiful woman looked at the elegant man with her lovely eyes, her rosy lips parting slightly as she asked.

“We Cultivators, what we seek is nothing more than transcending heaven and earth, finding our true self, and achieving eternal immortal Dao.”

Lu Changsheng said with a gentle smile in his eyes.

After speaking, he looked at the woman’s picturesque profile, her beautiful eyes, sometimes playful, sometimes smiling, and he was momentarily lost in thought.

Shen Yiren keenly noticed the unusual gaze in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and then she looked towards the sea of clouds, softly saying, “What Fellow Daoist said is natural, but in the Cultivation World for tens of thousands of years, who has been able to transcend heaven and earth and achieve eternal immortal Dao?”

“Indeed, there is no such thing as eternal immortal Dao.”

“Even if one possesses peerless talent, overshadowing the world, and Breaks Through to Nascent Soul, after a thousand years, they will still turn into a handful of dust.”

Lu Changsheng sighed softly, then suddenly looked at Shen Yiren and said, “To be frank, Shen Fellow Daoist, I, Ye, am actually like most Cultivators, thinking of starting a Family, building a Family, and raising children.”

“Oh?”

Shen Yiren was somewhat surprised.

In her opinion, only Cultivators with no hope of further cultivation would choose such a path.

“Shen Fellow Daoist should know that I am from a Family Cultivator background.”

Lu Changsheng said with a faint smile, “We Family Cultivators are influenced from a young age by the idea of starting a Family, marrying, and having children.”

“It’s just that the Cultivation World is ever-changing. Even as a Core Formation cultivator, one can barely stand firm. A slight mistake could lead to eternal damnation. How could one dare to marry and have children, becoming complacent?”

“Therefore, I, Ye, once made a grand vow that if I achieved Nascent Soul, I would find a female Cultivator with whom I had mutual affection, marry her, have children, continue my Bloodline, and raise descendants.”

Lu Changsheng knew the Third Palace Master’s temperament.

If he wanted to rely on accumulating goodwill over time and mutual affection, he didn’t know how long it would take.

And he was now preparing to return to Jiang Country once the great calamity dissipated, so he truly didn’t have much time to flirt with the Third Palace Master.

It was better to express some feelings now.

As he spoke, Lu Changsheng looked directly at Shen Yiren with burning eyes.

“I never expected Xuanmu Elder to have such thoughts.”

Shen Yiren’s personality was pure, but she wasn’t a naive young girl. She naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Changsheng’s words and gaze, and she spoke with feigned calmness.

“Third Palace Master, you are truly beautiful.”

Seeing that the latter didn’t take the hint, Lu Changsheng continued, “In this scene, I can’t help but want to compose poetry, but no matter how much I rack my brains and search my mind, I cannot describe it. I can only use this one sentence to praise you.”

“Xuanmu Elder, why are you saying such things today?”

Shen Yiren hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng, who had always been gentle and elegant, to suddenly be so direct. She pursed her red lips slightly and said softly.

And she subconsciously raised her hand to smooth the strands of hair by her ear, using it to alleviate her embarrassment.

“I, Ye, saw Jing Qing Elder fail in his attempt to Break Through to Nascent Soul. In truth, I am not as carefree and natural as the Third Palace Master perceives.”

Lu Changsheng sighed softly, his eyes complex, as he said, “Although I, Ye, have Opportunity accompanying me, Jing Qing Elder, as a core direct descendant of Goddess Palace, was fully prepared and had abundant resources. Compared to me, he was definitely not inferior, perhaps even stronger.”

“Therefore, I am also very anxious in my heart.”

Lu Changsheng gazed at the sea of clouds with a complex expression, muttering softly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yiren felt a surge of tenderness in her heart and deeply understood his feelings.

She looked at Lu Changsheng and said softly, “With Xuanmu Elder’s talent, you will certainly be able to successfully Break Through to Nascent Soul.”

“Thank you for your kind words, Third Palace Master.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, then looked intently at Shen Yiren again and said, “Third Palace Master, may I call you Yiren a few times today?”

Shen Yiren bit her rosy lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then softly “hmm-ed” in response.

But then, remembering that only her sister and a few close individuals called her that, Shen Yiren said softly, “Xuanmu Elder can call me that in private, but in front of my sister or others, you still need to be careful.”

“Alright, Yiren.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, feeling much more at ease. He made a gesture to invite her, and the two continued to stroll among the clouds.

At the same time, on Shennv Peak, in White Dew Palace.

Shen Baishuang looked at the figures of a man and a woman in the mirror, thinking that this Xuanmu Immortal Master did not seem to be as ignorant of matters between men and women as she had imagined.

Although she couldn’t overhear their conversation.

But by observing their appropriate laughter, her sister’s charming expressions, sometimes smiling, sometimes playful, and even the faint blush on her fair cheeks, she knew that their progress was even smoother than she had anticipated.

If things continued to develop like this, and they interacted more, their future together was practically a certainty.

“Hmph, they all act like upright gentlemen and virtuous ladies on normal days, all so prim and proper!”

Shen Baishuang looked at the two in the mirror, couldn’t help but snort coldly, and with a light flick of her jade hand, her Nascent Soul Cultivation Base circulated, closing the image.

If not for the sake of Goddess Palace, she, the dignified Second Palace Master of Goddess Palace, would not be willing to do such sneaky things.

However, after waiting for a moment, she opened the mirror again, and even couldn’t help but further peek, wanting to hear their conversation.

But both of them were Peak Core Formation cultivators. If she delved deeper into her peeking, she would easily be detected.

Haste makes waste.

After their relationship progressed, Lu Changsheng did not press on, choosing to stop at a good point and retreat when ahead.

After parting with Shen Yiren, he returned to his Rongyue Island to continue his secluded Cultivation.

He went to Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus and checked on his son Lu Quanzhen’s situation. Seeing that his Demonic Embryo transformation was proceeding steadily, he didn’t pay too much attention.

Three months later.

Lu Changsheng suddenly felt an intensely profound tremor.

His Spiritual Root and Physique had been enhanced.

At the same time, a System prompt suddenly sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

【Congratulations to Host for giving birth to twelve Spiritual Physique descendants, you have received one lottery chance!】

“Yina’s child has been born!”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes with a joyful expression, knowing that this was the birth of the child in Yina’s womb.

“What’s going on? Is Heavenly Spiritual Root not the limit?

“And my current Physique is Chaos Body, won’t it conflict with my children’s Spiritual Physiques? Why didn’t this child have that?”

Lu Changsheng paused in his thoughts, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Previously, when children with Spiritual Physiques were born, the System would always prompt about conflicting attributes and whether to Fuse them.

But this child, surprisingly, did not have this situation; it was a direct enhancement.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng understood what was happening.

This child inherited his Chaos Body!

“System!”

Lu Changsheng silently chanted in his mind.

【Name: Unnamed】

【Lifespan: 1 / 93】

【Talent: Earthly Spiritual Root, Unknown Spiritual Physique (Top-tier Physique)】

【Cultivation: None】

【Ability: Gu Poison (51%)】

“As expected…”

Lu Changsheng looked at the “Unknown Spiritual Physique” in the talent column, thinking, “As expected.”

This daughter’s Physique was not the current Spiritual Physique in the Cultivation World.

It was mainly born from inheriting certain characteristics of his Chaos Body.

This was normal; Spiritual Physiques in the Cultivation World were not static, and new ones often appeared.

Sometimes, even two people with the same Spiritual Physique would have certain differences.

Just like his son Lu Lingxiao’s Dragon’s Roar Body and his daughter Lu Linghe’s Dragon’s Roar Body were completely different.

“Is it due to Yina’s Cultivation Technique and secret methods that this child inherited more characteristics of the Eradication Poison Body?”

Through the enhancement of the Physique, Lu Changsheng could clearly perceive that the Chaos Body inherited by this child was very incomplete.

The inherited characteristics were mostly Eradication Poison Body, followed by Kunpeng Demon Body, Indestructible Golden Body, and some other effects.

Effects like Dragon’s Roar Body and White Snake Bloodline were negligible, almost not inherited at all.

“If I were to have a child who perfectly inherited my Chaos Body, wouldn’t that mean the effect of my Chaos Body would double?”

Lu Changsheng realized that no matter what kind of Spiritual Physique his children had, none of them would be as effective as inheriting his Chaos Body.

After all, other Spiritual Physiques, no matter what, would conflict with his Chaos Body, requiring a trade-off and balance.

But if the child inherited his Chaos Body, unless it was too heavily biased and disrupted the current balanced state of his Chaos Body, it would be a perfect enhancement.

“However, my Chaos Body needs more Spiritual Physiques to enhance its foundation.”

Although the child inheriting his Chaos Body currently provided more enhancement.

In the long run, Lu Changsheng still hoped that various Spiritual Physiques would appear in his Family.

“Just inheriting some characteristics of my Chaos Body makes it a top-tier Spiritual Body; it seems my Chaos Body has already reached the Dao Body level!”

Above Spiritual Bodies are Peerless Dao Bodies.

However, records about Dao Bodies are very scarce.

According to what Red Lotus said, Dao Bodies do not have upper, middle, or lower grades.

Except for a few supreme Dao Bodies, most Dao Bodies are ranked and classified by strength based on the Cultivator’s power.

If the previous Dao Body owner was powerful, then this Dao Body would be widely known and rank among the top.

After all, compared to Spiritual Bodies, Dao Bodies are simply too rare and difficult to uniformly classify.

Because of this, Lu Changsheng was a bit curious, wanting to know if the System would classify Dao Bodies into different grades.

For example, the Sword Embryo Dao Body nurtured by his Great Luo Sword Embryo!

“I wonder what level my Chaos Body will reach if it fuses with a Sword Embryo Dao Body.”

If possible, Lu Changsheng still wanted to give birth to the Sword Embryo Dao Body before breaking through to Nascent Soul.

But the conditions for giving birth to a Sword Embryo Dao Body were simply too harsh.

Either give birth to a child with a High Grade Sword Dao Spiritual Body and Cultivate them from a young age;

Or find a Nascent Soul True Lord Dao Companion, refine the Great Luo Sword Embryo into her body, and use the Sword Embryo Origin to nurture the fetus.

As for a child with a High Grade Sword Embryo Spiritual Body, they are completely uncontrollable, something that can only be met by chance.

As for finding a Nascent Soul True Lord to conceive, this requires someone trustworthy.

Although he trusts A Youduo now.

However, due to her current state and Cultivation Technique, it is difficult for her to conceive.

By the time A Youduo resolves her Cultivation Technique and physical issues, it would be better to wait for Red Lotus to break through to Nascent Soul.

After all, Red Lotus, as a Spiritual Embryo, is currently at Core Formation eighth layer, and in a few decades, she can attempt to break through to Nascent Soul.

“Difficult.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, knowing that this matter could not be forced, and then silently chanted: “System, draw!”

【Ding! Congratulations to Host for obtaining ‘Five-Colored Peacock’ youngling!】

【Reward has been issued to System Space, Host can view it at any time】

“Five-Colored Peacock!?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was surprised, and he immediately looked at the System Space.

【Spiritual Pet: Five-Colored Peacock】

【Grade: Heaven Rank Medium Grade】

【Description: Heaven Rank Medium Grade Bloodline Yao Beast, a descendant of the True Spirit “Five-Colored Peacock” Bloodline, can grow to its Peak period in five hundred years, advancing to Fourth-Order Yao Beast】

“Only Heaven Rank Medium Grade?”

Lu Changsheng had just seen the Five-Colored Peacock and thought he had hit the jackpot.

Unexpectedly, like previous Spiritual Pets, it was only a True Spirit descendant, possessing a trace of thin Bloodline.

However, it was normal to think about it; how could an ordinary draw yield a True Spirit Bloodline Spiritual Pet?

“Continue drawing.”

Thinking that he had not drawn a prize after the birth of his son with Chu Qingyi, Lu Changsheng silently chanted again.

The System roulette spun rapidly.

【Ding, congratulations to Host for obtaining Second-Order Poison Making Skill!】

【Reward has been issued to System Space, Host can view it at any time】

“Skill!?”

In the early years, Lu Changsheng disliked skills the most in ordinary draws.

He felt that mastering so many skills was useless.

But now, what he hoped for most was to draw skills.

“Convert into Divination experience!”

If he were in Jiang Country, calmly preparing for Nascent Soul matters, Lu Changsheng would choose to upgrade Artifact Refining, or Dragon Seeking, or Talismans.

But on this trip to Star Constellation Sea, he deeply realized the importance of Divination.

Especially now that his fortune is uncertain, if he raises his Divination art to Fourth-Order, he might be able to deduce more information, thereby turning misfortune into fortune!

As the Poison Making Skill transformed into Divination experience and poured into his Divination Dao, Lu Changsheng instantly entered a mysterious state.

The surroundings seemed to turn into nothingness, and his entire being appeared in the mysterious River of Destiny.

Countless futures and possibilities, like splashes of waves, were glimpsed by Lu Changsheng.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

His elegant and handsome face seemed to have gained a mysterious, vast, ethereal, and ancient aura.

Under the System’s enlightenment, he seemed to have an Epiphany, undergoing a long deduction, elevating his Divination from Third-Order Peak to Fourth-Order Elementary.

Although it was only one level apart, the difference between the two was like Core Formation breaking through to Nascent Soul!

“The Dao of Divination is truly profound.”

Lu Changsheng thought about how just now, when his Divination advanced from Third-Order Peak to Fourth-Order, he felt as if he was about to get lost in the River of Destiny.

At this moment, he clearly understood why some people who forcefully Cultivate Divination go mad.

In the early stages, it might be due to Cultivation errors.

In the later stages, as long as one comprehends the Heavenly Secrets and the River of Destiny, one might be affected and lose oneself.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!

“Fortunately, my Divination art was enhanced by the System, steadily and surely, without me having to delve deeply into comprehending Heavenly Secrets.”

Lu Changsheng slowly exhaled a turbid breath, and the ancient, ethereal aura on his body dispersed like dust.

Then, three Divination copper coins were tossed out, and his eyes seemed like countless stars arranged and interwoven, deducing his recent fortune.

“Hmm?”

A moment later, Lu Changsheng suddenly saw an auspicious omen in the unseen.

He immediately deduced further.

After a long time.

Although he did not obtain detailed auspicious information, through the hexagram, Lu Changsheng knew that this auspicious omen was not in Goddess Palace.

Staying in Goddess Palace would be neutral and peaceful.

Leaving Goddess Palace would bring uncertain fortune, with both good and bad intertwined, but in the unseen, there was a moderately auspicious omen.

“Moderately auspicious…”

Hexagrams are divided into: Great Misfortune, Moderate Misfortune, Minor Misfortune, Neutral, Minor Auspicious, Moderate Auspicious, Great Auspicious.

Moderate Auspicious is already considered a great Opportunity.

However, Lu Changsheng was unsure where this moderately auspicious omen was, unless he burned more lifespan to deduce further.

“If I return to Jiang Country now, unless I come back immediately, there will still be some risk.”

“So this auspicious omen should be in Star Constellation Sea, but in such a vast Star Constellation Sea, finding an Opportunity is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven…”

Divination never yields detailed results.

Even if Lu Changsheng advanced to Fourth-Order Diviner, he could only vaguely deduce an auspicious omen, making it difficult to obtain specifics.

“Forget it.”

Thinking of the uncertain fortune of the hexagram, with both good and bad intertwined, and himself being watched by Six Paths Demonic Consort, Six Paths Palace, and other forces, Lu Changsheng felt there was no need to cause extra trouble and run around aimlessly.

The hexagram said there was an auspicious omen, but that didn’t mean it was absolutely correct.

One must know that the hexagram can change at any time!

However, considering that the hexagram might also change for the better.

Perhaps after some time, he would be able to deduce more information. Lu Changsheng sat down to meditate and adjust his state. Once stable, he went to Shennv Peak to report to Mama Ma, stating that he might go out later to seek a Nascent Soul Opportunity and leave for a while.

“What, Xuanmu Elder is preparing to leave Goddess Palace to seek a Nascent Soul Opportunity!?”

Just after Lu Changsheng reported to Mama Ma, Shen Baishuang received the news immediately, her expression alert, suspecting that he wanted to leave Goddess Palace.

After all, Jingqing True Person’s failure to break through to Nascent Soul inevitably dampened the morale and confidence of Goddess Palace’s Guest Elders and enshrined members.

If even a Genius like Jingqing True Person, a core direct descendant of Goddess Palace, failed to break through to Nascent Soul, what chance did these Guest Elders have?

Moreover, Core Formation breaking through to Nascent Soul has some connection with the elusive Luck.

Failing to break through to Nascent Soul is considered a bad omen.

Naturally, it might cause some Guest Elders who wanted to use Penglai Island’s Spiritual Vein to break through to Nascent Soul to choose to leave.

“Or, did Xuanmu Elder deduce something?”

Shen Baishuang’s willow-like brows furrowed slightly.

Others might not know, but as the Second Palace Master of Goddess Palace, she knew that Lu Changsheng also possessed Third-Order Divination skills.

As Lu Changsheng displayed many astonishing methods, she even suspected that Lu Changsheng’s Divination skills were not just at the Elementary Third-Order.

And with Jingqing True Person’s Nascent Soul failure, Goddess Palace, and even several islands and merchant teams under Penglai Island, were being interfered with and affected by hostile forces and Star Sea Bandits.

Under these circumstances, Xuanmu Elder might have obtained some information.

“No, I absolutely cannot let him go, he must stay!”

Shen Baishuang frowned deeply, her graceful and mature figure pacing back and forth in the room, unwilling to let him leave.

But the other party was merely a Guest Elder of Goddess Palace.

Even due to Shen Yiren’s reasons, the Guest Elder contract that Goddess Palace and Shen Jianjia gave Lu Changsheng at that time was slightly more lenient than that of ordinary Guest Elders.

Under these circumstances, it meant that Goddess Palace had no reason not to let him go.

“What method should I think of?”

Shen Baishuang paced back and forth, feeling that this matter must be handled by addressing his temperament and weaknesses, prescribing the right medicine.

Hmm? Medicine?

Let her think.
