Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 765: Just escaped from the tiger’s mouth and fell into the wolf’s den!
“A Wu!”
Lu Changsheng made a decisive decision. His Fourth-Stage Body Refining, and Chaos Body roared. He threw out five Top-Grade Spirit Stones, signaling A Wu to blast open the Void Realm of this world and escape with the Mi Chen Banner.
Although he had not broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage and fully mastered the power of the Void Realm, he could not cross the Void.
However, with Fourth-Stage Body Refining and the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, as long as he broke open this world, he could escape the Goddess Palace and Penglai Island’s range with the Mi Chen Banner.
“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”
As Lu Changsheng’s magic power and Top-Grade Spirit Stones burned, the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror trembled violently, and its bright mirror surface seemed like a rising sun, illuminating the dining room with dazzling brilliance.
“Not good!”
Shen Jianjia, who was waiting outside but whose Divine Sense was focused on the dining room, instantly realized that Lu Changsheng was trying to escape.
She was surprised. The latter had been poisoned by Fairy Tear, yet he had woken up in just two days.
One must know that Fairy Tear required at least three days and three nights of Dual Cultivation for a preliminary detoxification to maintain consciousness, and seven days and seven nights for a complete detoxification.
However, given the current situation, she had no time to think. The Star Mirror beside her radiated divine light, and the entire White Dew Palace seemed to disappear, turning into a pitch-black night sky.
Immediately after, brilliant stars, like diamonds, appeared, constantly expanding and sealing off the world.
“Nascent Soul Domain!”
Lu Changsheng instantly knew that this was a method only a Nascent Soul True Lord could master: shattering the void and condensing a Dharma Domain into a Domain.
A Nascent Soul Domain could not only be transformed into a portable small space but also be used for combat, isolating heaven and earth, and imprisoning others.
Although Lu Changsheng had encountered many Nascent Soul cultivators, he had never seen such a Nascent Soul Domain.
Silently, it stole the sky and replaced the sun, sealing him within the Domain.
“Is this the method of a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator?”
Lu Changsheng was horrified, feeling the light from these stars falling on him, causing his Qi and magic power to become sluggish.
Even with his Chaos Body and Fourth-Stage Body Refining, his bones were shaking, enduring immense pressure.
And during this process, his disguise, maintained by his Fourth-Stage Body Refining, was difficult to sustain.
“Great Palace Master, I have already detoxified Second Palace Master and Third Palace Master. Do you truly intend to go to extremes?”
“If so, I will spare no expense and turn the Goddess Palace upside down! Even if I cannot win, what Second Palace Master did today will likely be known to all! And the current state of the two Palace Masters, I presume I don’t need to elaborate, do I?”
Lu Changsheng tightly held Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren, using them as hostages.
With the power of the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, he could blast open Shen Jianjia’s Nascent Soul Domain.
However, this Great Palace Master’s strength was unfathomable, and Lu Changsheng was not her match.
Therefore, even though he suffered a great loss, Lu Changsheng chose to endure and be patient.
Otherwise, if he truly escalated the matter and completely offended the Goddess Palace, he feared that the Goddess Palace, Penglai Island, and the current Shen Jianjia would relentlessly pursue him.
And he had previously offended the Six Paths Palace and was coveted by the Six Paths Demonic Consort.
With this, he feared that there would be no place for him in the entire Star Constellation Sea.
The most important reason was that he could only rely on his Fourth-Stage Body Refining to suppress the residual poison of Fairy Tear, making long battles unsuitable.
If Shen Jianjia did not let him go, it was another matter whether he could escape her pursuit with the Mi Chen Banner.
Once he failed to escape, and the effects of Fairy Tear re-emerged, he would be in complete danger.
Lu Changsheng dared not gamble! Nor was he willing to gamble!
He had an infinite future; a step back would open up a vast sky!
“Boom boom boom—”
Star rivers flowed, and countless stars shone, emitting dazzling light, constantly expanding, forming an unparalleled suppressive force.
Through these trembling stars, one could see the anger of this Goddess Great Palace Master.
As the master of the Goddess Palace and a top-tier cultivator of the Star Constellation Sea, when had she ever been so aggrieved?
Although the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror displayed astonishing power, she had absolute confidence in herself.
However, both of her younger sisters were currently in Lu Changsheng’s hands.
The opponent possessed Fourth-Stage Body Refining, and even she wasn’t absolutely confident in saving her sisters the instant he made a move.
Her younger sister Shen Baishuang was fine, possessing a Nascent Soul Spirit Body, but her younger sister Shen Yiren was only a Core Formation cultivator.
Moreover, she didn’t want the matter to become widely known.
From the beginning of the fight to the use of the Nascent Soul Domain, she had been trying her best to restrain herself.
To prevent the commotion in White Dew Palace from escalating and being known to others.
“This Palace promises, release Xiaoshuang and my younger sister, and you may leave now.”
A plum blossom bloomed with mysterious light between Shen Jianjia’s eyebrows. She gazed at Lu Changsheng’s handsome and elegant face, then spoke indifferently.
“If Great Palace Master stops now, I will naturally leave.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes were crimson, a pink peach blossom mark faintly visible between his eyebrows. He spoke with somewhat rapid and heavy breathing.
After all, to contend with this Great Palace Master, he would find it difficult to fully suppress the Fairy Tear within his body.
However, in this brief confrontation, he had truly witnessed the strength of this Goddess Great Palace Master.
She was a level higher than both Qingluan True Monarch and Xuanjian Zhenjun!
Even if he used all his methods and went all out, he might not be her opponent.
It could only be said that at the Nascent Soul Stage, the gap between the Early Stage and Middle Stage, and even between each minor Realm, grew larger and larger.
Although his cultivation and magic power were infinitely close to Nascent Soul, and he possessed a Fourth-Stage Body Refining, it was not enough to face a Nascent Soul cultivator like Shen Jianjia. He had to break through to Nascent Soul to contend!
“Rumble rumble rumble!”
The stars dimmed, and the night sky dissipated.
Lu Changsheng reappeared in the chaotic White Dew Palace dining room, filled with a lewd aura, with the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror hovering above his head.
Not far away, Shen Jianjia was enveloped in a hazy starlight, her face unclear. She was clearly right there, yet she seemed not to belong to this world, as if she could ascend at any moment, breathtakingly beautiful.
Without further ado, the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror burst forth with a blazing Profound Light, directly tearing open the Void Realm before them.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
Turbulent currents instantly surged within the pitch-black spatial裂缝.
Seemingly worried that these turbulent currents would harm her younger sisters, Shen Jianjia’s faint Nascent Soul Qi gently pushed the currents away.
“Go!”
Lu Changsheng waved his hand, wrapping himself in the robes not far from him, then the Mi Chen Banner, glowing with five-colored spiritual light, appeared.
“Buzz!”
The palm-sized Mi Chen Banner instantly transformed into a cloud of colorful light, enveloping Lu Changsheng, Shen Baishuang, and Shen Yiren, and sweeping them into the Void Realm together.
“Thief!”
Seeing this, Shen Jianjia’s beautiful eyes widened in shock and anger. The star river around her shone brilliantly, covering the sky and earth, and rushed into the Void.
“This Seat always keeps her word!”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly turned back and threw Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren to Shen Jianjia.
If he had handed over the two women in White Dew Palace earlier, Shen Jianjia could have pursued him if she went back on her word.
But now that they had entered the Void, she had to protect her two younger sisters and could not fully pursue him.
“Yiren, although today’s events were initiated by your second sister Shen Baishuang, a day as husband and wife creates a hundred days of kindness. Since we have become husband and wife, I will take responsibility for you. When I break through to Nascent Soul, I will return to the Goddess Palace to marry you!”
Lu Changsheng shouted again towards Shen Yiren.
Old Ancestor Lu had cultivated for hundreds of years and had never been so disheveled.
But now, he was not a match for the Goddess Palace or Shen Jianjia.
Therefore, he had to show his attitude and stabilize Shen Jianjia, lest she continue to hunt him down.
Especially just now, his disguise might have been seen through by Shen Jianjia.
If she knew his identity and origin, it was very likely to bring danger and trouble to Bihu Mountain and Great Dream Immortal City.
And his words, at least, showed his unwillingness to antagonize the Goddess Palace.
Moreover, Shen Yiren now had slight consciousness.
With her temperament, knowing his attitude, she would definitely persuade her sister Shen Jianjia that the fault was not his and to stop acting against him!
As his voice faded, the Mi Chen Banner swept Lu Changsheng away, disappearing into the surging Void Realm turbulence.
Lu Changsheng did not return to Great Dream Immortal City or Bihu Mountain.
According to his previous calculations, if he returned now, he might bring misfortune back with him.
So he planned to find a place to settle down first and clear the residual poison of Fairy Tear from his body.
“Hmph!”
Shen Jianjia held her two younger sisters, watching Lu Changsheng escape, and let out a cold snort with an indifferent expression.
The hazy starlight around her seemed to drape two luxurious star-patterned dresses over the two women, dispelling all the filth and impurities from their bodies.
If not for the two women’s alluring and charming jade-like complexions, full of seductive spring passion, they would have been like pure and untainted banished fairies.
But even so, with the three sisters standing together, their immortal beauty was unparalleled, like a masterpiece of creation, adding a touch of color to this endless, dark, turbulent world.
“Sigh.”
Looking at her two younger sisters, whose beautiful eyes were blurred, Shen Jianjia sighed softly.
Although she was filled with killing intent towards Lu Changsheng and wanted to silence him,
his frankness, character, and responsibility also gained her approval.
If not for this incident, she would even have been willing to marry her younger sister Shen Yiren to him.
However, such a scandal made it truly difficult for her to pretend nothing had happened.
“But what was this person’s purpose in crossing the mist sea and coming to my Goddess Palace? Was it really just to rent a Fourth-Tier spiritual land?”
Shen Jianjia couldn’t help but ponder.
During the earlier confrontation, she had seen through Lu Changsheng’s disguise.
She was surprised, not expecting this person to be the mysterious individual who had altered her goddaughter Shen Wanzhao’s fate years ago.
She recognized Lu Changsheng’s character and responsibility, aside from his promise to Shen Yiren; during the process, he did not practice Yin-harvesting and Yang-replenishing or plunder her sisters’ primordial Yin essence; and there was also his earlier actions towards her daughter Shen Wanzhao.
From these actions, it could be seen that the other party was not a villain.
If not for this incident, if the other party continued to stay in the Goddess Palace, whether he broke through to Nascent Soul or not, he would be a great help to the Goddess Palace.
But now…
“Sigh.”
Sighing again, Shen Jianjia held her two younger sisters, threw out her token, found the Goddess Palace’s anchor point, broke through the Void, and returned to her own palace to help them suppress the effects of the Fairy Tear within their bodies.
Although much of the Fairy Tear in her two younger sisters’ bodies had been detoxified,
the after-effects of this medicine were extremely potent.
Now that Lu Changsheng was gone, she couldn’t find a male cultivator to detoxify them.
She could only expend great magic power herself to help suppress and endure this poison.
On a massive island.
“Ahhh!!! Island Master, save me!”
“Spare me, Demon Consort, spare me!”
“I’ll fight you!”
Wailing of resentful spirits, sounds of battle, and cries for mercy continuously echoed from within the island.
One could see countless resentful spirits slaughtering the island, and under streaks of gloomy light and black mist, blood splattered.
Some cultivators wanted to escape the island, but above the island, a tall, majestic palace, seemingly constructed from white bones, loomed.
This White Bone Palace exuded a gloomy, dark aura, enveloping the entire island, preventing the cultivators within from escaping. They could only fight to the death.
But how could they be a match for these resentful spirits?
“Si Guihua, are you not afraid of heavenly retribution for such a massacre?!”
An old Core Formation cultivator on the island roared to the sky, his hair flying wildly, his voice filled with unwillingness.
“Guilingzi, you obtained a treasure and dared to conceal it without reporting it. You should have expected such a fate. Moreover, it is their honor for these commoners to nourish the Demon Consort’s Demon Palace.”
Then, from within the White Bone Palace hovering above the island, several ghostly maids, holding ceremonial fans, baskets, and plain towels, served a charming figure wearing a璎珞冠冕 and reclining on an exquisitely luxurious throne.
Outside the palace, on the Dan Chi, a maid in a blood-red dress coldly reprimanded the Core Formation elder.
“Blood Garment, that’s enough.”
At this moment, the stunning figure surrounded by ghostly maids spoke, her voice lazy and casual, filled with indifference, showing no interest in such a massacre.
This was normal.
As the Six Paths Demonic Consort, this Red Spirit Island was merely a Third-Tier island, without even a Nascent Soul cultivator. How could it be worth her personal attention?
Simply, after the battle with Shen Baishuang and Lu Changsheng earlier, her White Bone Demon Palace was damaged, and her Fourth-Tier ghost pet was devoured by the Howling Soul, greatly reducing her strength. Thus, she nourished the Demon Palace with the grievances of the cultivators on this island.
And she was cultivating the chosen maid, Blood Garment, as a new Fourth-Tier ghost pet.
“Thank you, Demon Consort!”
The maid in the blood-red dress immediately responded joyfully, then transformed into a blood shadow and flew towards the Core Formation elder.
Just then, abruptly, the Six Paths Demonic Consort suddenly felt something. Her slender and charming eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her peerless figure, which had been reclining on the exquisitely luxurious throne, sat up.
Beneath her dark red, opulent robes, a pair of jade feet, with skin as fair as snow, exquisite and translucent, as if coated with a layer of delicate butter, descended.
A kneeling ghostly maid beside her immediately presented a pair of dark red crystal shoes, resembling Manjusaka flowers, and put them on those exquisitely crafted, peerless jade feet.
Under the sharp, needle-like, cold and stunning pale gold stiletto heels, the woman’s extremely hot and alluring graceful figure at this moment was utterly seductive, capable of easily destroying the reason and restraint of any male, and even female.
The Six Paths Demonic Consort, dressed in a dark red palace gown, wearing a璎珞冠冕, with an astonishingly graceful figure and myriad charms, walked out of the White Bone Palace and gazed into the distance.
Then, dozens of miles away in the Void Realm, ripples appeared, and a colorful cloud suddenly emerged.
“Xuanmu Daoist?!”
When the Six Paths Demonic Consort saw the figure enveloped in the colorful cloud, her beautiful eyes first showed a hint of surprise, then were filled with joy.
She never expected that the Xuanmu Daoist, whom she had been constantly searching for and calculating, without any information, would appear here.
It was truly a case of finding something without looking for it!
“Heaven’s will, truly Heaven is helping this Palace!”
The Six Paths Demonic Consort’s face, radiant as spring, seemingly beautiful and charming, yet dignified and majestic, was filled with pleasant surprise and ecstasy.
Regarding the battle at Black Reef Island, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she desperately wanted revenge.
But she couldn’t touch the Goddess Palace now, and she couldn’t do anything until the Six Paths Devil Lord came out of seclusion.
The Xuanmu Daoist, apart from the little information known about him, had a mysterious origin, and had always been in the Goddess Palace, making it impossible to act against him.
Now, the latter suddenly appeared before her, how could she not be ecstatic!
