Chapter 774: Yun Wanshang: There are such evildoers in the world (two in one)

“Nascent Soul Pill!?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned when he saw this reward.

For a moment, he didn’t know whether to be happy or helpless.

He had been hoping that the System would draw a Nascent Soul Pill for him to save him the trouble, but there had been no movement.

Now that he had a Nascent Soul Pill, the System suddenly gave him another one.

One could only say that sometimes, life was like this.

“You can never have too many Nascent Soul Pills, and anything produced by the System must be a top-grade product.”

Lu Changsheng consoled himself.

Although he didn’t get what he wanted—Heaven And Earth Treasure or Medicinal Pill that could help him leave the Eternal Night Land—the value of the Nascent Soul Pill was undeniable, and no one would complain about having too many.

Especially the Medicinal Pills obtained from the System’s lottery, they were of very high quality, all of them top-grade Medicinal Pills.

The Nascent Soul Pill he had previously obtained from his son, Lu Quanzhen, was merely a refined Nascent Soul Pill.

Lu Changsheng did not extract this Nascent Soul Pill from the System space, intending to extract and use it later when he broke through to Nascent Soul.

“Tsk, if I used this Nascent Soul Pill as a betrothal gift, I’m afraid countless Fairies would be willing to bear my children, right?”

Lu Changsheng lightly stroked his Storage Pouch, took out the Myriad Years Azure Bottle containing the Nascent Soul Pill, and murmured softly.

Through Jiang Country and this trip to the Star Constellation Sea, Lu Changsheng knew that the Nascent Soul Pill was extremely valuable everywhere.

Countless Core Formation True Persons who yearned for Nascent Soul were willing to sign a death pact for a single Nascent Soul Pill, serving for decades or even a century.

However, Lu Changsheng only thought about it. His Lu had a bunch of wives and children who would need Nascent Soul Pills in the future, so he naturally couldn’t use them for trade.

Unless…

Lu Changsheng looked in the direction where Yun Wanchang’s figure disappeared, thinking to himself what she would do if he used this Nascent Soul Pill as a betrothal gift and dowry.

Based on his guess, although Yun Wanchang had been out for more than forty years, she most likely hadn’t obtained a Nascent Soul Pill. At most, she had a few Nascent Soul spiritual items.

“This item is merely icing on the cake, to enhance the relationship between husband and wife.”

Lu Changsheng put the Myriad Years Azure Bottle back into his Storage Pouch.

Since both of them knew each other inside and out, did Old Ancestor Lu still need to rely on the [Nascent Soul Pill] to foster their relationship?

What was the difference between this and a transactional sale?

With a thought, Lu Changsheng lightly patted his spirit beast bag.

“Whoosh!”

A black cocoon, entirely black and exuding a faint glow, appeared in the quiet room.

This black cocoon was what the Tihun Beast had transformed into.

After devouring the Six Paths Demonic Consort’s Fourth-Order ghost pet, it entered a state of complete slumber.

Previously, when Lu Changsheng encountered the Six Paths Demonic Consort again and entered the White Bone Demon Palace, it did not awaken from its slumber.

“There’s no Spiritual Qi in the Eternal Night Land. Will Tihun have problems if it continues to advance like this?”

Lu Changsheng knew that the Tihun Beast was undergoing a transformation, advancing to the Fourth-Order.

However, the Eternal Night Land was different from the outside world, and Lu Changsheng didn’t know if the environment would affect the Tihun Beast.

After all, although Yao Beasts required less of the environment and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to advance to the Fourth-Order than Cultivators, they still had some requirements.

However, the Tihun Beast was different from other Yao Beasts; it belonged to a kind of creature that was neither demon, nor devil, nor beast, nor ghost.

Its growth rate was a testament to this.

As long as it continuously devoured resentful souls and ghost spirits, it could grow rapidly, which was simply terrifying.

After observing the faint black cocoon for a moment, Lu Changsheng lightly raised his hand, and the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus appeared. He infused his restored magical power into it, wanting to see his son Lu Quanzhen’s situation.

However, the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus directly emitted a spatial ripple and did not open.

“Hmm? What’s going on? Grotto-heavens repelling each other?”

This was not the first time Lu Changsheng had encountered such a situation.

In the Xumi Grotto-heaven, he was unable to open the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus.

He guessed that the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus’s spatial Grotto-heaven was repelled by the Eternal Night Land and was suppressed.

“Quanzhen is currently undergoing the demonic embryo transformation, so he should be fine.”

Seeing that he couldn’t open it, Lu Changsheng put away the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, then carefully sorted through his Storage Pouch and Storage Pouch.

He wanted to see if there was anything that could be useful next, and also tried some of the rare spiritual materials he had collected before, to see if they could help him further restore his magical power.

After Yun Wanchang left the Cultivation quiet room, she went to her sleeping quarters and arranged for the Golden Winged Roc matter, sending people to search for it.

She instructed them that if they encountered this Golden Peng Bird directly, they should shout “Golden Peng Adult.”

After all, such a Demon King without an owner would be extremely ferocious. If they encountered it directly, it was likely that few people would be able to return alive to report.

After instructing and handling the matters, she came to her training room and began to Cultivate in meditation.

Although her Qi and magical power were dormant in the Eternal Night Land, preventing Cultivation, her Tongyu Fengsui Body possessed a strand of Spiritual Energy.

The first wisp of magical power she recovered back then was precisely by relying on the Spiritual Energy within her body.

As her magical power gradually recovered and she Cultivated Sky Light Force, she even discovered that she could stimulate her Golden Core Dao foundation through the Spiritual Energy, thereby awakening some dormant magical power.

It was just that after so many years, the stimulating effect of this Spiritual Energy on her Physical Body and Golden Core Dao foundation was getting worse and worse.

“If only…”

Yun Wanchang’s star-like eyes showed a few colorful streaks of light, as if looking into the distance.

A moment later, she lightly pursed her red lips, closed her beautiful eyes, and circulated the Spiritual Energy within her body, which resembled a fish, slowly circling and swimming around her Golden Core and Dao foundation.

Lu Changsheng tried taking several rare Spirit Medicines to awaken his magical power, but it had no effect.

As Yun Wanchang said, only spiritual products that grew in the Eternal Night Land and absorbed the light of heaven and earth had such an effect.

He did not continue to waste his rare spiritual materials and began to study the Sky Light Force secret art that Yun Wanchang had given him.

Although he had Cultivated for over a hundred years, Old Ancestor Lu had never seriously studied any Cultivation Technique or secret art.

But today was different from the past.

Now, he possessed numerous top-tier Cultivation Technique classics as accumulation, and with his Taiyi Divine Soul and Nascent Soul Divine Sense, learning this Sky Light Force was incredibly easy.

Using several spiritual medicines containing sky light as a guide, Lu Changsheng’s blood flowed with a “whoosh” sound, and his body seemed to burn like a furnace.

Immediately after, deep within his body, a dazzling sky light seemed to illuminate and burst forth, directly falling into his flesh and blood.

“This is Sky Light? Why does it feel a bit like the Qi and blood power cultivated from Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, or a Cultivator’s magical power, just that it fits this Heaven and Earth?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the faint, misty sky light appearing on his fingertips and murmured in his heart.

He didn’t ponder too much on his own and directly went to ask Yun Wanchang for guidance.

It wasn’t that Old Ancestor Lu was unwilling to research and ponder, but for such matters, directly asking Yun Wanchang was not only convenient but also could enhance their relationship and feelings.

“What, you’ve already mastered the Wind Cloud Force?”

When Yun Wanchang saw Lu Changsheng approach and say that he had mastered her Wind Cloud Force, she was very surprised.

One must know that this Cultivation Technique was a secret art she had collected from various Cultivation Techniques in the Eternal Night Land that suited her best.

It wasn’t top-tier, but it was considered an Advanced Sky Light Force secret art.

It took her half a month to Cultivate it, but how long had Lu Changsheng taken to directly get started?

If she had known he would get started so easily, she would have directly passed it to Lu Changsheng when they were still in the deep mountains.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, and a wisp of Wind Cloud Force appeared on his fingertip.

“This…”

Yun Wanchang’s red lips slightly parted, and she looked at Lu Changsheng as if he were a monster.

“I feel that this Sky Light Force is a simplified version of Body Refining Cultivation Technique. I used to dual Cultivate Body Refining, so it was very simple.”

Lu Changsheng expressed his understanding.

“It can be understood that way…”

Yun Wanchang said softly, introducing the intricacies to Lu Changsheng, stating that Sky Light Force was very likely created by the first batch of Cultivators in this Heaven and Earth based on immortal Cultivation Techniques and Body Refining Cultivation Techniques.

Therefore, she and Lu Changsheng, as outsiders, had a fundamental advantage in Cultivating such Cultivation Techniques.

After all, although a Cultivator’s Qi and magical power were dormant, the foundation of their Physical Body was still there.

Even if it was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who hadn’t dual Cultivated Body Refining, when they broke through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, their body would undergo a complete transformation, and their Physical Body would far exceed that of ordinary people.

“You have a profound Body Refining foundation, so Cultivating this Sky Light Force will be much simpler.”

Although Yun Wanchang appeared relatively calm, she was still amazed by Lu Changsheng’s talent in her heart.

In her early years, she felt that he was just a minor Cultivator, unworthy of her.

Now, not only had he grown to her level, but his talent and intellect surpassed hers by a level.

“So that’s how it is. In that case, can I integrate the Qi and blood power from my original Body Refining Cultivation Technique into the Sky Light to form a certain type of Sky Light Force?”

After confirming his idea, Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

He felt that he didn’t need to Cultivate this Wind Cloud Force and could directly condense a type of Vatican Devil True Saint Force.

“This should be possible, but the process is very dangerous.”

Yun Wanchang thought seriously for a moment before saying that this belonged to creating one’s own Cultivation Technique, and one must Cultivate a Cultivation Technique to its Peak before attempting it.

Moreover, in Cultivation, a slight mistake could cause some kind of danger to oneself.

“I’ll just give it a try.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then sat cross-legged, circulating his “Vatican Devil True Saint Art” based on the feeling of the Wind Cloud Force.

“Immortal Master, do you still have any spiritual products containing Sky Light?”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and looked at Yun Wanchang, who was silently gazing at him.

“Yes.” Yun Wanchang took out several spiritual products from her Storage Pouch.

“That’s enough.”

Lu Changsheng directly consumed these spiritual products.

In just a moment, Yun Wanchang saw threads of Sky Light flowing from Lu Changsheng’s palm.

“???”

Yun Wanchang was stunned.

She considered herself exceptionally talented and intelligent, but now she was bewildered.

What did she see?

Not only did Lu Changsheng Master her Wind Cloud Force in a short time, but he also directly created a type of Sky Light Force based on Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

Although this Sky Light Force had just been born and was very weak.

Yet, it contained three types of Qi.

One was serene and peaceful, seemingly immortal and unadorned;

One was tyrannical and overbearing, filled with infinite pressure;

One was filled with destruction, decay, and annihilation;

Just by these three types of Qi, she could tell that Lu Changsheng’s Sky Light Force, no, his Body Refining Cultivation Technique was incredibly profound and exquisite.

At this moment, Yun Wanchang finally understood that the other party was a Prodigy, a complete and utter Prodigy.

He was completely incomparable to the Geniuses of Qingyun Sect or Jiang Country like herself.

A Prodigy like Lu Changsheng could probably only be compared to the Saint or Saintess of the top forces in the Southern Wilderness.

No, although she had never seen such a Saint or Saintess, she felt that Lu Changsheng was even more of a Prodigy.

As long as he didn’t die young, he was destined to be recorded in the history of immortal Cultivation in the Southern Wilderness!

“No wonder he grew from a Qi Refining Cultivator to his current level in just a hundred years. Besides Opportunity and Luck, it’s also related to his peerless talent.”

“Or rather, to reach this stage in just a hundred years, Opportunity, Luck, talent, Comprehension Ability, and effort are all indispensable.”

Yun Wanchang murmured in her heart.

But for some reason, as soon as this thought came to mind, she felt incredibly awkward.

Where did this little thief put in effort?

She didn’t know about these past few years, but when she investigated his intelligence information back then, he had a group of wives and concubines, and hundreds of children, like a breeding pig?

Such a breeding pig… put in effort?

Yun Wanchang was bewildered, somewhat unable to comprehend the Lu Changsheng in front of her.

However, if the other party spent so much thought, time, and energy on women and children, and was still so terrifying, how amazing would he be if he focused solely on Cultivation and the Dao?

As someone from a Sect and having two Disciples, Yun Wanchang truly didn’t want to see Lu Changsheng’s peerless talent wasted.

Although Cultivating to the Core Formation Peak at over a hundred years old, and being a dual Cultivator of both spell and body, was already astonishing.

But she really wanted to know where his limits lay.

“Immortal Master, what’s wrong?”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and said in surprise, seeing Yun Wanchang’s blank expression.

“How did you do that?”

At this moment, Yun Wanchang no longer held back. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Lu Changsheng, eager to know how he achieved this in such a short time.

“It’s very simple…”

Lu Changsheng chuckled inwardly, but on the surface, he spoke gently, roughly explaining the principles between the two.

Although Lu Changsheng’s explanation was easy to understand, Yun Wanchang knew that she couldn’t do it herself.

This not only required completely comprehending and mastering the Body Refining Cultivation Technique one Cultivated but also required meticulous control over one’s own body.

“Immortal Master, what is the distribution of forces and their strength here in the Eternal Night Land?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of something.

Since it was difficult to slowly search for rare spiritual items like the thre-colored flower on his own.

Then, if he expanded Qingyun City and integrated the forces of the Eternal Night Land, wouldn’t he be able to collect more rare resources?

Under normal circumstances, Lu Changsheng was unwilling and too lazy to do such things.

But now, trapped deep in the Eternal Night Land, and wanting to leave as soon as possible, Lu Changsheng didn’t mind acting domineeringly.

“Force distribution, strength?”

Yun Wanchang looked at Lu Changsheng’s handsome and unparalleled face, her heart slightly startled. She vaguely guessed his thoughts and softly introduced the situation to him.

After a long while, Lu Changsheng had a general understanding of the Eternal Night Land.

Someone like Yun Wanchang was already considered a top-tier expert.

Therefore, with all his methods unleashed, he would definitely be among the absolute top tier in the Eternal Night Land.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng decided that after finding the Golden Winged Roc, he would first rely on himself to restore his Qi and magical power as much as possible, and then begin to expand outwards.

Time flew by, and two months later, Qingyun City received news of the Golden Winged Roc.

Lu Changsheng threw out his divination coins, simply divined a reading, and it indicated a smooth journey. He immediately went out with Yun Wanchang.

Just as the divination indicated, it took more than half a month for Lu Changsheng to successfully find the Golden Winged Roc.

It had been swept into the Eternal Night Land. Not seeing Lu Changsheng, it simply lived in this area, occasionally hunting wild beasts and mutated creatures to cause some commotion, waiting for Lu Changsheng to come find it.

After all, if it searched everywhere, the distance between them might grow further and further. It was better to wait for its Master, Lu Changsheng, to find it.

“Is this the spirit pet that caused a ruckus with you in the Yinming Ghost Sect back then?”

Yun Wanchang looked at the Golden Winged Roc, whose golden feathers shone brightly in the night, like a golden blazing sun, and asked.

She had only guessed before that Lu Changsheng was “Immortal Master Yang Ming,” with ninety percent certainty.

Now, looking at this Golden Peng Bird, she was completely certain that Lu Changsheng was Immortal Master Yang Ming.

“Uh!?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised.

Unexpectedly, Yun Wanchang actually knew about him causing a ruckus in the Yinming Ghost Sect.

However, on second thought, Chu Qingyi was with him at the time, so it was normal for Yun Wanchang to know.

“Yes, it’s the Golden Peng.”

Lu Changsheng waved at the Golden Winged Roc, asking it about its condition these days, whether there were any other effects besides its demonic power being suppressed.

“What was your cultivation level at that time?”

Yun Wanchang continued to ask, quite curious.

When she handed over the Law Enforcement Hall to her Disciple Chu Qingyi and chose to travel, she was stimulated by Lu Changsheng, worried that her cultivation and strength would be surpassed by him.

“Core Formation third layer.”

Since Yun Wanchang already knew, Lu Changsheng did not hide it and spoke frankly.

Yun Wanchang lightly pursed her red lips and nodded slightly.

She had pondered this question deeply back then, always unable to determine Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level.

After all, if his cultivation was low, how could he fight against the Ghost Bat True Person of the Yinming Ghost Sect?

If his cultivation was too high, then he would be too much of a Prodigy.

Since the Golden Winged Roc had been found, Lu Changsheng did not delay further and returned with Yun Wanchang.

However, seeing the Golden Winged Roc waiting for him here, he couldn’t help but think of Lu Lingjing.

When she rushed out of the ghost ship’s gray-black mist and saw that he hadn’t escaped, would she also have been waiting in place all this time?

At this moment, Star Constellation Sea.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

A Nascent Soul cultivator, clad in armor and wielding a trident, was battling a giant whale, whose body was as vast as a mountain, covered in dark golden dragon-shaped scales, and topped with formidable dragon horns.

Although the man and the whale were fighting in the deep sea, the immense commotion and fluctuations of spiritual power caused the sea surface to continuously boil and roar, with muffled thunder rumbling, forming endless waves and tsunamis, as if it were an apocalyptic natural disaster.

As the battle progressed, this Nascent Soul cultivator realized that the Dragon Whale in front of him possessed terrifying strength, and he was not its match.

Continuing to fight would even pose a certain danger.

He lightly patted his Dantian, and his pupils instantly turned a deep sea-blue.

Immediately after, layers of ripples appeared around his body, and a clear blue water spirit pearl emerged, enveloping him entirely, before he soared towards the sea surface.

“Roar!!!”

Seeing this, the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale’s entire body, adorned with dark golden dragon-shaped patterns, glowed, and its fin-like limbs flapped, creating a massive dragon-like vortex, as if the seawater was flowing backward, attempting to keep the figure from escaping.

Lu Lingjing was very angry.

Unable to find her Master, she was quietly waiting for him to return when this person suddenly appeared and questioned her about the kunpeng egg.

Although she knew the kunpeng egg was with her Master, who did he think he was to question and threaten her, and even attack her!

Did he really think Lu Lingjing was easy to bully!

“Buzz!!!”

As the waves swept and the seawater flowed backward, the two formidable and majestic dragon horns on the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale’s head burst forth with a hazy radiance, then formed a giant blade, tearing through layers of seawater and the Void Realm, and further attacked the figure.

This Nascent Soul cultivator dared to trouble a Fourth-Order Demon King like the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, so his strength was naturally extraordinary.

If he hadn’t encountered Lu Lingjing, but a Fourth-Order Demon King who had just Advanced, he would definitely not have been its match.

“Boom!”

He violently swung the trident in his hand, countering Lu Lingjing’s Divine Ability.

But in the next moment, the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale opened its giant maw, resembling a chaotic, blade-filled abyss, and roared towards him.

The giant maw was like an endless black hole, carrying an unparalleled and powerful devouring force, intending to swallow the figure.

Peace Ocean True Lord felt the surrounding Qi become heavy, as if the Void Realm had solidified. He fully activated his Life Spirit Treasure, then the blue light surged from the trident in his hand, growing several feet. He then swung it violently, tearing apart Heaven and Earth, and his entire being escaped into the Void Realm.

The Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, with its formidable dragon horns, burst forth with a hazy, brilliant light, directly plunging into the Void Realm.

However, upon leaving the Star Constellation Sea and entering the Void Realm, her imposing aura and Qi weakened slightly.

Moreover, she also realized that it was impossible for her to devour this Blue-Armored Man unless her Master returned.

“Hmph!”

She watched the gradually disappearing Blue-Armored Man, letting out an angry roar that caused a dull, thunderous sound to echo in the Void Realm, then returned to the Star Constellation Sea.

“When will Master return?”

Lu Lingjing looked at the boundless sea, bored.

“That person just now asked me about the kunpeng egg. Could he be looking for the kunpeng egg? But how did he know that I know where the kunpeng egg is?”

Although Lu Lingjing belonged to the Yao Beast species and was very young, as a Fourth-Order Beast King, she still possessed an intelligence not inferior to that of an ordinary person.

After much thought, she felt that it was probably because someone saw her and her Master looking for the kunpeng egg at that time.

But then she felt it was wrong; if the Blue-Armored Man had seen her at that time, why didn’t he come to ask or snatch it?

Was he afraid of her Master?

But if he was afraid of her Master, why did he come to find her? She didn’t have the kunpeng egg anyway.

Lu Lingjing thought for a long time, feeling she couldn’t understand, so she dove into the deep sea, preparing to continue sleeping and wait for her Master to find her.

But just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly thought, what if the Blue-Armored Man, after asking her about the kunpeng egg, went to her home to ask about it?

Now that Master was gone, the Madam, Young Miss, and Young Master at home wouldn’t be able to defeat this Blue-Armored Man.

“Hmm, if Master can’t find me, he’ll also go home.”

Lu Lingjing thought for a long time and decided to go home first.

Her Master had always told her to look after the house well. This time, he probably didn’t have time to give instructions, and he might even want her to go home first.

“I’m so clever!”

Immediately, Lu Lingjing prepared to return to Great Dream Marsh.

But looking at the boundless sea before her, she froze.

How was she supposed to get home?

Although she remembered the routes from Great Dream Immortal City to the Sea Eye, Star Constellation Sea, and even near the Kunpeng Nest.

She had no idea where she was now or how to get back.

However, very quickly, Lu Lingjing thought of a solution: if she didn’t know the way, couldn’t she just ask other demons?

“What is the origin of this Dragon Whale?”

Peace Ocean True Lord, seeing that the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale did not pursue him further, had deep eyes with a profound blue luster, and murmured.

Back then, the kunpeng egg on Black Reef Island mysteriously disappeared. The various Nascent Soul cultivators of the Star Constellation Sea jointly deduced and investigated, but found no clues. Therefore, all Cultivators and Demon Kings who had left early were listed as suspects.

After years of investigation, Ling Xuzi, Overturning Ocean True Lord, Wugu Old Demon, and others were successively cleared of suspicion.

And the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, unknown to anyone, was listed as a key suspect, with the desire to know its origin.

“This Fourth-Order Whale King’s strength is extraordinary. If it were in the Star Sea area, it would be impossible for there to be no information about it. Could it be from the Forbidden Sea?”

“But if it’s from the Forbidden Sea, why would it suddenly be here?”

Peace Ocean True Lord was very puzzled.

However, he had just sensed a faint, almost imperceptible Qi of the kunpeng egg from the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, knowing that the other party had definitely come into contact with the kunpeng egg.

He prepared to invite three to five friends to jointly take action against the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale.

Jiang Country, Qingyun Sect.

“Junior Brother Baiyun, Niece Xiao Xiyue, you’ve returned. You’ve worked hard this trip. What is the war situation in Yue Country now?”

Qingyun Sect Master saw several Core Formation cultivators who had gone to Yue Country to provide assistance with the Heaven Sword Sect return, and he offered them his regards.

“It’s very unfavorable. Although Yuan Country hasn’t fully entered the fray, Liang Country didn’t go all out in the early years and still held back. Moreover, according to information, Xueluo Zhenren of Liang Country’s Shura Sect is preparing to break through to Nascent Soul through endless slaughter and bloodshed.”

Baiyun Zhenren’s face showed a hint of fatigue as he spoke to Qingyun Sect Master, his expression solemn.

Their return this time did not mean the end of the front-line war, but rather that they had accumulated enough merits and their time was up, so they could choose to return to the Sect to rest.

Mainly, the war situation in Yue Country was becoming increasingly unfavorable, and they were unwilling to continue fighting, lest they perish in the Liang Yue War.

“Xueluo Zhenren…”

Qingyun Sect Master knew that the Shura Sect was rumored to be connected to the Blood Sea Sect, one of the Seven Demonic Sects, and that its blood-path Cultivation Technique could use the essence blood of Yao Beasts or Cultivators as a great tonic Spirit Medicine.

These years, Yue Country and Liang Country had been at war, suffering heavy casualties, and even several Core Formation True Persons had died in battle. It was normal for the Shura Sect to obtain enough essence blood from this.

Moreover, as far as he knew, this Xueluo Zhenren was already three hundred and eighty years old.

If he didn’t attempt to break through to Nascent Soul soon, his body would decline, and he would lose the Opportunity.

Furthermore, in his opinion, this was an excellent Opportunity for the Shura Sect.

Currently, the Liang Yue War is at a stalemate, and Yuan Country wants to take a share of the spoils. If Liang Country can produce another Nascent Soul True Lord, it will have many more burdens.

At this time, if Xueluo Zhenren attempts to break through to Nascent Soul, Beast God Mountain and Chi Shen Sect will not only be delighted and not suppress him, but will even provide him with assistance.

But thinking that this Xueluo Zhenren’s Breakthrough to Nascent Soul would make the war in Yue Country even more intense, Qingyun Sect Master sighed.

Jiang Country and Yue Country are allies. Once Yue Country is defeated, his Qingyun Sect, as one of the Four Great Immortal Sects of Jiang Country, will naturally be affected.

He looked at Xiao Xiyue, who was dressed in a moon-white gown, her cheeks pure and cold, like an emotionless Fairy, and said, “Niece Xiao Xiyue, your return this time is just in time. Now that Yuan Country and Yue Country have reached a cooperation, Sword Saint Monarch is preparing to invite Great Dream City Lord and his wife to help.”

“You can ask Immortal Master Chang Sheng about this later when you see him.”

Qingyun Sect Master said to Xiao Xiyue.

Although Bihu Mountain was not far from Qingyun Sect.

But Lu Changsheng held the position of Deputy City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, so it was not convenient for him to simply visit and discuss such minor matters.

Therefore, asking Xiao Xiyue to go and inquire was the best option.

“Alright.”

Xiao Xiyue’s eyes were as calm as water, and her beautiful face, like snow piled on a flowering tree, was shrouded in a dreamlike, ethereal, holy glow.

In earlier years, when she frequently met Lu Changsheng and her daughter Lu Wangshu, her state of mind remained at ease.

These past ten years, while providing assistance in Yue Country, she constantly circulated the Supreme Emotion Severing Art to maintain her optimal state, which has caused her to remain in this state ever since.

“What’s wrong with Niece Xiao Xiyue?”

Qingyun Sect Master, seeing Xiao Xiyue’s emotionless demeanor, couldn’t help but send a voice transmission to Baiyun Zhenren to inquire.

The former Xiao Xiyue, though cold, was not this cold.

She even gave off a feeling of keeping people a thousand miles away, even towards him, her Sect Leader Senior Martial Uncle.

“It should be due to Niece Xiao Xiyue’s Cultivation Technique…”

Baiyun Zhenren only knew roughly, and thus spoke.

“Niece Xiao Xiyue, you all should go back and rest first.”

Upon hearing this, Qingyun Sect Master did not say much, signaling Xiao Xiyue and the others to return and rest. Then he conversed with Baiyun Zhenren, inquiring about this trip to Yue Country.

Although there had been continuous exchange of information between the two sides, many things are not as clear as when discussed face-to-face.

“Has Master not returned yet?”

Xiao Xiyue returned to Caiyun Peak, looking towards Caiyun Hall at the mountain’s summit, her calm, water-like beautiful eyes showing a hint of ripples.

Aside from Lu Changsheng and her daughter Lu Wangshu, only her Master Yun Wanchang could cause her emotions to fluctuate slightly.

Even her Senior Sister Chu Qingyi had not reached this level in her heart.

After returning to her Mingyue Residence, she remembered that Senior Sister Chu Qingyi had returned to the Sect early due to severe injuries. It was only right and proper for her to pay a visit to her Senior Sister upon her return.

“Greetings, Immortal Master Xiao Xiyue.”

The attendant Disciples of Xianyi Hall, seeing Xiao Xiyue, quickly bowed in salute.

“Is my Senior Sister here?”

Xiao Xiyue, in a moon-white gown, with a slender waist, stood gracefully, like a perfectly sculpted jade statue, naturally formed.

“The Hall Master is currently in seclusion. Please wait a moment, Immortal Master Xiao Xiyue. This Disciple will go and report immediately.”

Although Chu Qingyi had been in seclusion for many years and did not receive guests, this Immortal Master Xiao Xiyue was Immortal Master Qingyi’s Junior Sister, so they naturally dared not refuse.

Xianyi Hall, backyard.

This backyard was once very simple, but at some unknown time, many green jade bamboo plants were gradually planted, and flowers bloomed in profusion.

In the clear pond, colorful goldfish swam, reflecting off the colorful stones at the bottom of the pond, casting a vibrant light.

Chu Qingyi, dressed in a blue and white palace gown, her sleeves fluttering, quietly watched a delicate, jade-like toddler waving a wooden sword.

“Hmm!?”

Just then, she lightly raised her jade hand, and a crystal-clear token appeared.

Seeing the message from the token that her Junior Sister Xiao Xiyue had come to visit, Chu Qingyi’s heart trembled fiercely.

Over the years, she had tried many times to contact Lu Changsheng, wanting to bring him to see their son Lu Shouzheng.

But each time, her spiritual power was like a stone sinking into the sea, indicating that Lu Changsheng was not within the borders of Jiang Country.

Unexpectedly, instead of Lu Changsheng returning, her Junior Sister Xiao Xiyue returned first.

If there was one person she most dreaded facing, it was her Junior Sister Xiao Xiyue.

After all, she really didn’t know how to face her Junior Sister.

“Mommy, practice sword.”

Just as she was looking at the jade talisman in her hand, lost in thought, a tender voice came.

Her son, Lu Shouzheng, holding a wooden sword, called out to her in a childish voice, his fair, tender face beaming with a bright smile.

“Mommy will practice sword with you later. Now I’m taking you to see your Martial Aunt.”

Chu Qingyi looked at her son in front of her, knelt down, took his chubby little hand, and said softly.

Although she was somewhat unsure how to face her Junior Sister.

But since she already had a son, such a matter couldn’t be concealed forever. It was better to be open about it.

As for saying that this child was picked up by her or adopted as a Disciple, Chu Qingyi could not do such a thing, nor could she bear to treat her own child that way.

“Martial Aunt?”

The toddler tilted his head, looking at his mother with some confusion, then was embraced by Chu Qingyi and walked towards the main hall.
