Chapter 777: Push forward, another heavy fog!

Two months later, Qingyun City, City Lord’s Mansion.

Inside the secret chamber, Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, his body radiating a brilliant heavenly light, making him appear solemn and majestic. The Golden Core Dao Foundation within his body vibrated, resembling the faint sound of the Great Dao. Surging Yin and Yang magical power, almost imperceptible, emanated from him, forming a terrifying Spiritual Pressure.

“Hoo!”

After a long while, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a turbid Qi. Two black and white Yin and Yang fish swirled in the depths of his pupils.

It took Lu Changsheng two months to refine the numerous spiritual products he had acquired, and his magical power barely recovered by one-tenth.

Although it wasn’t much, he could already use many of his abilities when unleashing his full power.

For example, the Great Luo Sword Embryo and the Yin Yang Diagram could both be easily activated.

Unlike before, even though he had awakened some dormant magical power, he had few means to use beyond his storage ring.

After checking on the Tihun Beast, Lu Changsheng exited the secret chamber and asked Yun Wanchang about the recent situation in the city.

“How much of your magical power has recovered?”

Yun Wanchang asked Lu Changsheng with concern.

“Barely one-tenth, I suppose.”

Lu Changsheng replied.

Even though she had witnessed Lu Changsheng’s Prodigy talent, Yun Wanchang still couldn’t understand why these spiritual products had such a much weaker stimulating effect on Lu Changsheng compared to herself.

However, seeing that Lu Changsheng was prepared and confident, Yun Wanchang said no more and told him about her plan and ideas.

“Since that’s the case, let’s start with Silverfrost City.”

Lu Changsheng said directly after listening to her ideas.

The reason for choosing Silverfrost was simple: the previous blood chaos most likely originated from that city.

The next day, before heading to Silverfrost City to demand an explanation, Lu Changsheng routinely divined his fortune.

Seeing that the divination result was neutral and peaceful, with no danger, Lu Changsheng felt relieved.

Although divination was not one hundred percent accurate, as long as it wasn’t a bad omen, there was no need to worry.

Immediately, the two, one Puppet and one pet, left Qingyun City.

Silverfrost City.

“Bang!!!”

A dull thud echoed.

A robed elder spat blood, flying backward and crashing through a wall. He quickly shouted to Lu Changsheng, who held the Mountain Moving Whip, “My Lord, spare my life!”

“Qingyun City Lord, the previous matter was my fault. I am willing to surrender and offer compensation.”

After speaking, he looked at Yun Wanchang, pleading for mercy with a mouth full of blood foam.

According to the information he had received, Yun Wanchang should have had a problem with her body and was severely injured; otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to go out repeatedly and not have time to deal with the chaos in the city.

He had thought he could annex Qingyun City, but he didn’t expect the latter to come directly to his Silverfrost City.

Seeing Lu Changsheng strike him three times right away, he was completely stunned, especially since the first whip hit him in the face, preventing him from even uttering words of surrender.

“City Lord!”

The commotion at the City Lord’s Mansion immediately attracted many Silverfrost City guards. Some directly attacked Lu Changsheng and his companions.

However, Qian Zhuyan raised her mechanical arm, and dark gale surged. The person was instantly sent flying, bleeding profusely.

“From today onwards, Silverfrost City will be a vassal of Qingyun City. Does anyone have an objection?”

Lu Changsheng’s appearance was handsome and otherworldly, like an Immortal descending to the mortal realm, lacking in deterrence. Yet, wisps of Yin and Yang magical power flowed from his body, causing everyone to sweat profusely and their bones to creak.

“Thud! Thud!”

Many guards couldn’t withstand his Qi and magical power and directly knelt on the ground, their faces filled with respectful fear.

After all, the person before them was truly terrifying; his mere aura rendered them utterly powerless.

Yun Wanchang, standing beside him, also looked moved by Lu Changsheng’s combat power.

With less than one-tenth of his magical power awakened, he was already so astonishing. How terrifying would he be at his peak?

If not for the fact that Lu Changsheng’s magical power lacked the Nascent Soul spiritual essence, she would even suspect that Lu Changsheng had already Broken Through to Nascent Soul.

“I didn’t expect this little rascal to have such a powerful and domineering side.”

Thinking of how Lu Changsheng immediately attacked the Silverfrost City Lord without even a word, Yun Wanchang found it somewhat amusing.

“Since there are no objections, take me to your Silverfrost City’s treasury.”

Lu Changsheng, holding the Mountain Moving Whip, looked at the gray-haired Silverfrost City Lord and continued to pressure him.

If not for his dormant Qi and inability to use Physical Body Divine Abilities, he wouldn’t even need to resort to physical action against this Silverfrost City Lord; his mere presence would be enough to suppress him.

“Yes, My Lord.”

Although the Silverfrost City Lord was unwilling, he chose to yield under Lu Changsheng’s pressure.

Upon arriving at the Silverfrost City treasury, Lu Changsheng frowned, looked at the robed elder with suspicion, and tightened his grip on the Mountain Moving Whip.

“My Lord, this is our Silverfrost City’s treasury, absolutely nothing is hidden. In three months, the town below will send a batch of crimson gold, secret silver, and spiritual products.”

The Silverfrost City Lord saw the Mountain Moving Whip in Lu Changsheng’s hand, shuddered, and quickly spoke.

One whip from that thing nearly took half his life, breaking several bones.

If not for his exceptional strength and relatively robust and sturdy body, those three whips just now would have probably killed him on the spot.

“Lu Changsheng, these people, if they acquire rare spiritual products, will consume them immediately and rarely store them in the treasury.”

Yun Wanchang transmitted her voice to Lu Changsheng, explaining.

These cities were not like the Sect forces of the Cultivation World, which emphasized Legacy.

Once they obtained any rare resources, they would immediately use them to improve their own strength, and then continue to compete for resources.

“Never mind, it’s better than nothing.”

Lu Changsheng knew why his divination had been neutral and peaceful before he set out, not even a minor auspicious sign.

After seizing all of Silverfrost City’s resources, he instructed them to report immediately upon the appearance of heavenly light or earthly light.

Furthermore, as the Silverfrost City Lord, the robed elder had to submit one rare spiritual product every six months.

After speaking, Lu Changsheng circulated his magical power and, through the Wan E Du Ling Secret Canon, injected a potent poison into his body.

Although this poison wasn’t completely incurable, it still served as a deterrent.

“Poison?”

Yun Wanchang looked at Lu Changsheng’s method with great surprise.

Had he also Cultivated poison Daoist Magic?

For someone his age to possess such cultivation was already astonishing; where did he find the time and energy to Cultivate Divine Abilities?

Moreover, Lu Changsheng’s magical power was Yin and Yang in nature, which was incompatible with poison Daoist Magic; even if he Cultivated it, the effect would be half the effort for double the result.

“Next stop, Profound Mist City.”

Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanchang did not plan to return but continued to the next city.

After selecting the city, Lu Changsheng tossed out his divination coins for a simple divination.

“Lu Changsheng, are you divining?”

Yun Wanchang’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Lu Changsheng.

If she could understand poison Daoist Magic, then what was this divination business?

One must know that among the myriad arts of cultivation, divination was the most mysterious and profound.

Moreover, wasn’t Lu Changsheng a talisman master?

Where did he find so much time and energy?

Lu Changsheng didn’t reply. A moment later, seeing that the divination result was neutral and peaceful, with no danger, he carefully put away the divination coins and then smiled, “I studied it in my spare time, just for fun.”

“…”

Although Lu Changsheng’s tone was understated, Yun Wanchang was somewhat unconvinced.

Yet, her understanding told her that it was impossible for him to have so much time and energy, having Cultivated for only a little over a hundred years.

Lu Changsheng didn’t explain further. After resting for two days, the group continued their journey, heading to the next city.

Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan, with their magical power barely recovered, were practically invincible. In just half a month, they subdued six cities.

For a time, the entire Eternal Night Land was in an uproar, everyone knowing that a top-tier powerful Cultivator from outside had arrived in the Eternal Night Land.

Such things had happened before.

Whenever a Nascent Soul True Lord fell into the Eternal Night Land, once they recovered their magical power, they would shake the world.

At the same time, in a city as bright as day.

A stunning woman in a dark red palace dress, adorned with a pearl crown, her skin fairer than snow, looked at the handsome young man in a green robe on the scroll before her. Her naturally enchanting almond eyes held a hint of coldness.

Although Lu Changsheng’s disguise had completely broken after he entered the Eternal Night Land, the Six Paths Demonic Consort had already seen Lu Changsheng’s true appearance in the White Bone Demon Palace at that time.

So, upon seeing Lu Changsheng in the portrait, she instantly recognized him as the person who had pressed her down.

Moreover, even if she hadn’t seen through his disguise, she could have recognized him immediately through Qian Zhuyan and the Golden Winged Roc beside him.

After all, if it hadn’t been for Qian Zhuyan, the Golden Winged Roc, and the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale at that time, even if she wasn’t in her peak condition, Lu Changsheng would not have been her opponent.

“How did he recover so much strength in such a short time?”

The Six Paths Demonic Consort, though seemingly alluring, possessed a dignified and noble beauty. Her exquisite face showed a hint of confusion.

She could quickly adapt to the Eternal Night Land, not only because of her ghost maid and Dao soldiers but also because she knew some secrets of the Eternal Night Land.

But why did he recover so quickly?

“He possesses a fourth-tier Physical Body, and his Puppet is not suppressed in this world, while that Golden Peng Bird also has a formidable Physical Body, comparable to a top-tier mutated creature.”

The Six Paths Demonic Consort considered whether she should take this opportunity to take revenge and refine Lu Changsheng into a corpse demon or a ghost spirit.

But thinking of his dragon-like physique, and the Qian Zhuyan and Golden Winged Roc by his side, as well as the Tihun Beast that had devoured her fourth-tier ghost pet, she temporarily abandoned the idea.

She even prepared to temporarily avoid his锋芒 and wait until she had awakened enough dormant magical power before acting against Lu Changsheng.

Otherwise, if revenge failed, she might fall into his hands again.

In an instant, the details of the scene in the White Bone Palace earlier quietly surfaced in the Six Paths Demonic Consort’s mind.

Her naturally enchanting, alluring beautiful eyes suddenly became somewhat dazed, as if she was intoxicated, and her slender, jade-like, flawless hands unconsciously touched her dress.

But thinking of her state at the time, and how Lu Changsheng was still so hard-hearted and acted against her, her face turned cold, and a terrifying aura of killing intent permeated her body.

This person must die!

“According to the owner of the handbook, this world is far from as simple as it appears; there must be some secret. With my current strength, perhaps I can uncover the secrets of this world.”

The Six Paths Demonic Consort stood up and looked towards the endless mountains, dark as ink, murmuring to herself. The dark red crystal shoes on her feet, like Mandarava flowers, accentuated her graceful and alluring figure to an unparalleled degree.

Lu Changsheng did not pay attention to the Six Paths Demonic Consort’s situation.

If he hadn’t met Yun Wanchang and hadn’t seen the extra child from the System, he might have paid attention to this Demonic Consort’s situation.

But having seen that he had an extra child, and that there was a one-third chance that the child’s mother was this Six Paths Demonic Consort, he really didn’t want to come into contact with her.

After all, it would be fine if he didn’t encounter her.

But if he did, and she used the child to threaten him, what would he do?

Moreover, his relationship with Yun Wanchang was gradually becoming intimate.

If he were to ask her to help gather information about the Six Paths Demonic Consort, and she found out about his involvement with the Six Paths Demonic Consort, their relationship would certainly suffer.

After all, as a Core Formation True Person of the Qingyun Sect, Yun Wanchang had more or less some prejudice and hostility towards the Demonic Path.

Especially towards a top-tier Demonic Path True Lord like the Six Paths Demonic Consort.

Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanchang, accompanied by Qian Zhuyan and the Golden Winged Roc, directly subdued all the cities around Qingyun City.

However, despite spending a lot of time and effort, the gains were quite mediocre.

Mostly Materials from the Eternal Night Land, such as crimson gold, secret silver, soul crystals, and so on, as well as remnants left by Cultivators who had fallen into this world in earlier years.

In terms of rare spiritual products, it was even less than what he and Yun Wanchang had obtained during their previous exploration of the Forbidden Mountain Range.

One could only say that doing this was suitable for a steady, long-term gain.

In the coming time, as long as he and Yun Wanchang Cultivated peacefully in Qingyun City, there would be an endless stream of spiritual products delivered to their doorstep.

Still, the same old saying: if he wasn’t in a hurry to leave, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t mind spending day and night with Yun Wanchang here, letting affection grow over time.

But he had already been away from home for four years in the Star Constellation Sea, and it had been over a year, almost two, since he was swept into the Eternal Night Land.

Moreover, at this rate, he didn’t know when he would be able to return.

He thought it over and decided to re-enter the Forbidden Mountain for exploration, to recover his magical power as much as possible, and then try to tear open the heavenly light and leave this world.

“I’ll go with you.”

During their time together, Yun Wanchang could feel Lu Changsheng’s longing for his Family and his urgency to leave this place.

Immediately, the two, one Puppet and one Peng, walked out of the city, which was as bright as day, and entered the Forbidden Mountain, where darkness enveloped everything.

One year later.

During this time, Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanchang, Qian Zhuyan, and the Golden Winged Roc had been roaming this Forbidden Mountain, searching for rare spiritual products.

Although they were fully prepared with many supplies before this trip, after more than a year of deep exploration, they had almost exhausted everything.

The main reason was that the spiritual products in such Forbidden Mountains were not inexhaustible.

As they continued to scour, rare spiritual products became increasingly scarce, and they had to wait for the appearance of heavenly light and earthly light for them to reform and grow.

That day, Lu Changsheng and the Golden Winged Roc were on night watch, allowing Yun Wanchang and Qian Zhuyan to recover their energy and state through sleep.

Although as Cultivators, they could go without rest for long periods.

However, when their minds were fatigued and their spirits overly consumed, deep sleep was the best way to recover.

Especially in such a Forbidden Mountain Range, where they had to remain vigilant at all times, it was very mentally taxing. Even Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanchang tried their best to maintain their condition.

Lu Changsheng looked at Yun Wanchang beside him, dressed in a colorful palace gown, lying on her side with an elegant, graceful figure. He felt no desire, his thoughts drifting back to his Lu.

This was the first time he had been away from home for so long, and he missed it terribly.

But no matter how hard he tried, even venturing deep into such Forbidden Mountains to explore and search for spiritual products that could stimulate the recovery of his magical power, he couldn’t return in a short time.

Just then, from the depths of the dark mountains shrouded in boundless darkness, an inexplicable dense fog suddenly surged forth, like a tide.

The black fog was boundless, carrying a sense of profound stillness and Death Qi.

“What is this? This is bad!”

Upon seeing this dense fog, Lu Changsheng instinctively felt a sense of dread. He immediately woke Qian Zhuyan and Yun Wanchang, shouting for them to retreat quickly.

However, this black fog was astonishing, surging forth overwhelmingly and instantly enveloping him and Yun Wanchang.
