Chapter 778: Yun Wanshang: Let’s try it!

“Golden Peng!”

Having experienced the ghost ship previously and fearing that this black fog would scatter them again, Lu Changsheng immediately grabbed Yun Wanshang’s soft, boneless jade hand and Qian Zhuyan’s cold, hard mechanical arm, shouting towards the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng high above.

“Screech!”

The Golden-winged Heavenly Peng screeched, spreading its wings and swooping down, closely following Lu Changsheng as they struggled to rush out of the black fog together.

However, the boundless black fog was like an invisible giant net, directly engulfing them, completely obscuring the path in any other direction.

Looking around, only the swirling black fog remained, like an endless desolate netherworld, permeated with a chilling deathly stillness.

Lu Changsheng looked at Yun Wanshang with a solemn expression, asking if she knew what was happening.

However, Yun Wanshang did not know.

Although she had been in the Land of Eternal Night for more than twenty years, she had never heard of encountering such a situation.

“Although this kind of Forbidden Mountain Range possesses many spiritual products, it is also full of mystery and the unknown. It seems this is one such manifestation.”

Yun Wanshang said with a solemn expression.

Like Lu Changsheng, she believed that the strangeness, mystery, and unknown of this world all stemmed from insufficient strength, making it impossible to truly touch and unravel the secrets.

“Is there light ahead?”

At this moment, Qian Zhuyan saw a faint, almost imperceptible light in the direction from which the black fog seemed to be surging, and spoke out.

“Let’s go and see.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes, intertwined with golden light, surveyed the surroundings, weighing and considering for a moment before deciding to go forward and investigate the situation.

Subtle footsteps were clearly audible in the deep, silent, and deathly still great fog at this time.

Not long after, arriving at the source of the light, Lu Changsheng saw an ancient well standing quietly before him.

This ancient well seemed to have undergone the baptism of endless years, possessing an indescribable mystery and simplicity. The faint, almost imperceptible light was emanating from this ancient well.

“Well of Samsara.”

Lu Changsheng murmured to himself.

Although he had never seen this well before, the moment he saw it, he inexplicably knew its name.

The Well of Samsara can reflect the past lives, present life, and future of others.

Lu Changsheng frowned tightly, not expecting such an astonishing object to appear in the Land of Eternal Night.

Samsara?

How could cultivators at the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage possibly come into contact with this?

What is going on in this world?

Although he wanted to see his present life and future, with the system by his side, his future was destined to be one of becoming an immortal and an ancestor. Therefore, in order to avoid any accidents, he instinctively wanted to retreat.

But the surroundings were desolate and silent, filled with black fog, and he had no idea where to retreat to.

Moreover, seeing Yun Wanshang, whose hand he had been holding the entire time, appear beside the well at some point, quietly gazing into the Well of Samsara, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt something was amiss.

His memory seemed to be in disarray…

“What is going on?”

Lu Changsheng frowned tightly, seeing Yun Wanshang’s expression constantly changing. After a moment of hesitation, he subconsciously walked forward and looked towards the Well of Samsara, which was emitting a faint light.

In an instant, the scene before his eyes flashed rapidly like a flowing lantern, as if he saw his present life and future.

After enduring hardships with Yun Wanshang, they finally left the Land of Eternal Night and both broke through to the Nascent Soul stage…

“Lu Changsheng, I owe you a great debt for helping me leave the Land of Eternal Night and break through to the Nascent Soul stage. How can I repay such a great kindness?”

Above the boundless ocean, the wind blew gently.

Yun Wanshang’s colorful palace dress fluttered, outlining her perfect and graceful figure. Her eyes were like autumn water, gentle and moving, seemingly a little shy, yet with a hint of candid anticipation as she spoke.

“Between you and me, what is there to repay?”

Lu Changsheng glanced at the beauty’s flat abdomen, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upwards. He smiled faintly and said, “Back then, True Person promised to host a wedding for me and Xiyue, but ended up leaving. As compensation, then…”

“Hmph, I knew you had ill intentions.”

Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes flowed with autumn waves. She lightly huffed, but still nodded in agreement.

However, when the two of them excitedly rushed back to Jiang Country, they saw the destruction of Bi Lake Mountain and the collapse of Great Dream Immortal City, turned into ruins…

In an instant, Lu Changsheng’s mind was severely shaken, almost going mad.

The thing he worried about most during this trip was his home encountering danger while he was away for a long time, especially the ominous tribulation he had calculated through divination earlier.

This scene now struck his soul directly!

“This is impossible!”

Lu Changsheng roared loudly, the pupils of his eyes, which were about to split, showed a reddish color, seeming to spread from his eyeballs to his cheeks. His entire being was plunged into extreme pain and guilt.

Just then, a clear spiritual energy surged out of thin air, stabilizing his spirit and consciousness.

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

Lu Changsheng felt the Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror on his chest vibrating frantically, and a surge of ice and fire intertwined energy surged through his body, as if waking up his reason.

“Master! Master!”

Ah Wu’s emotionless voice echoed in his mind, like a great bell.

Lu Changsheng’s body trembled violently, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong. His entire body’s blood and energy surged, and the reddish color in the pupils of his eyes dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He looked around.

He seemed to be in a cramped, narrow, pitch-black space.

Sinister mist, like smoke, surged around him, eroding his body like a bone-deep ulcer, but it was strictly isolated by the Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror.

“What kind of strangeness is this, that it can create such a realistic illusion, putting me in it without me even realizing it…”

Lu Changsheng was horrified in his heart, knowing that the scene just now, the Well of Samsara, was all an illusion.

From the moment the deep, deathly still black fog enveloped them, he had silently fallen into some kind of illusion.

Not just an illusion.

This space was also constantly eroding his physical body and spirit, trying to enslave him and turn him into a walking corpse.

Lu Changsheng’s face was grim. He held the Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror in his left hand, and the Great Luo Sword Embryo appeared in his right hand. His blood energy and magical power roared like a tsunami hitting a dam.

In an instant, the simple and unadorned sword embryo intertwined with brilliant and dazzling light. Majestic sword energy flowed out and slashed forward abruptly.

“Pfft!”

A crack appeared in the pitch-black, cramped, small space like a curtain. Seeing this, Lu Changsheng quickly shot up into the sky, using the Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror to break through layers of black fog.

His fiery golden eyes shone brightly, and two beams of light shot out from them.

He saw the boundless black fog receding like a tide towards the depths of the great mountain.

In the depths of the great mountain, it was no longer the scene of darkness enveloping everything as before.

Instead, there were pillars of light, as black as ink, shooting up into the sky.

They were like ancient pythons roaring out of hell, wanting to tear apart the sky.

Above the sky, a mass of colorful auspicious clouds, like smoke and mist, vaguely covered the area, intertwining and colliding with the pitch-black pillars of light that resembled giant pythons, forming an indescribably terrifying aura.

Even from a hundred miles away, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but hold his breath, feeling immense pressure.

“This…”

Lu Changsheng’s heart was startled, realizing that the area ahead was full of danger, a truly forbidden place!

Looking at the black fog receding towards the depths of the mountain range, Lu Changsheng shouted loudly, “Little Yan, Golden Peng, True Person Caiyun!?”

He had a soul contract with Qian Zhuyan and vaguely sensed that she was still within the black fog.

The Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror trembled slightly, and its surface reflected three figures wrapped in black fog.

They were Qian Zhuyan, Yun Wanshang, and the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng.

“Let them go!”

Lu Changsheng was burning with anxiety, rushing towards the black fog. The Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand vibrated frantically, erupting with majestic sword light. He suspected that this black fog was an extremely terrifying and strange existence.

After all, he had almost fallen victim to the silent illusion just now.

The black fog did not respond, it only retreated like a tide, carrying the three figures towards the depths of the great mountain.

Seeing the terrifying scene in the depths of the great mountain, and remembering that the black fog not only formed a realistic illusion but also constantly eroded his physical body and spirit, Lu Changsheng dared not delay in the slightest. A fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he held the Great Luo Sword Embryo and slashed towards the black fog, while signaling Ah Wu to act.

Although the spirituality of magical artifacts was suppressed in this world.

But the remaining high-grade spirit stones on him could support Ah Wu in unleashing a Nascent Soul level Solar Profound Light.

“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”

The Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror instantly flew up from Lu Changsheng’s hand, vibrating continuously, burning the nearby high-grade spirit stones into powder. Then, like a great sun rising, it erupted with endless brilliant light, illuminating this pitch-black world.

Immediately after, a divine light emitting endless light and heat shot out from the mirror’s surface, breaking through layers of black fog and helping Yun Wanshang, Qian Zhuyan, and the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng break free from the black cocoons of light.

The person, the puppet, and the beast had not yet woken up.

Lu Changsheng suspected they were currently in an illusion, and a rope appeared in his hand. He threw it towards the black fog, intending to rescue the three of them.

However, the black fog roared wildly, suppressing the spiritual power of the rope magic treasure in Lu Changsheng’s hand, making it impossible to freely change its size.

“Damn it!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth, signaled Awu to hold on, then held the Great Luo Sword Embryo, burned his vital blood, and directly charged into the black fog. He had only one thought: to rescue the person, the puppet, and the roc!

The endless black fog spread towards him like a tide, attempting to erode him.

But at this moment, the Sun and Moon Two Poles Mysterious Light Mirror directly burned the origin of the spiritual treasure, like a great sun hanging high, destroying the surrounding black fog and illuminating Lu Changsheng as if he were immune to all magic.

Lu Changsheng cut open Qian Zhuyan’s black cocoon with a sword, wrapped her massive puppet body with the rope, then bound Yun Wanshang and the Golden Winged Celestial Roc, and dragged them out of the black fog.

If he didn’t have a fourth-tier physique, not to mention the influence of the black fog, the weight of Qian Zhuyan and the Golden Winged Celestial Roc alone would be something ordinary people couldn’t carry.

Looking at the black fog receding like a tide, Lu Changsheng’s face was pale, and he was breathing heavily with a tired expression.

In the Land of Eternal Night, he could not use much blood and magic power, and he was not in peak condition before, so burning his vital blood to activate the Great Luo Sword Embryo just now consumed him greatly.

“Awu, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Sun and Moon Two Poles Mysterious Light Mirror in his arms, feeling very distressed.

The last top-grade spirit stone just burned. Without enough top-grade spirit stones and magic power to support the [Sun and Moon Two Poles Mysterious Light Mirror], this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, it could only burn its own origin.

Although it only burned a little, it still inevitably affected the power of this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Awu did not speak.

It was just a spirit artifact without emotions.

“Little friend, who is your elder? To actually let you come to seal the demons with such a treasure.”

Just then, an old and weak voice seemed to come from the depths of the mountain.

“Hmm? Sealing demons? What the hell?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned, feeling puzzled.

But given the strange illusion formed by the black fog just now, he instantly became alert, pretending not to hear it, and only wanted to leave this dangerous place quickly.

This kind of forbidden mountain range was really dangerous and strange. He had been too overconfident before.

Lu Changsheng gave Yun Wanshang a pill, then signaled the Sun and Moon Two Poles Mysterious Light Mirror to help her and Qian Zhuyan dispel the gloomy energy in their bodies as much as possible.

“Little friend, you didn’t come to seal the demons?”

“Since little friend possesses such a treasure, are you willing to help…”

The much older voice continued to sound, but Lu Changsheng acted as if he didn’t hear it and directly blocked the information.

After a moment, Qian Zhuyan directly woke up. The soul fire in her eye sockets burned faintly, as if she was a little dazed.

“Master…”

She looked at Lu Changsheng, her cold and hoarse voice trembling slightly, as if she had experienced something terrifying.

“Xiaoyan, a black fog appeared just now, you should have fallen into some kind of illusion.”

Lu Changsheng realized that Qian Zhuyan must have seen some terrifying scenes when she was in the illusion. He comforted her softly.

“Illusion…”

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhuyan’s heart trembled, and then she nodded.

After a while, Yun Wanshang’s eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly woke up. Her whole person looked dazed, as if she had experienced a big dream. In the depths of her beautiful eyes, there were still traces of confusion and fear.

The first person she saw was Lu Changsheng, and she instantly said with surprise: “Lu Changsheng, you’re still alive!”

“True Master, you saw me die in the illusion?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and asked.

Through the previous illusion scenes, Lu Changsheng could guess that this kind of illusion was similar to inner demons, finding the fears and weaknesses in a person’s heart and infinitely amplifying them.

“Illusion?”

After knowing that it was just an illusion, Yun Wanshang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Lu Changsheng what had just happened and why she had fallen into an illusion.

“Just now, while you and Xiaoyan were resting, a black fog appeared. I saw the Samsara Well and realized that I had unknowingly fallen into an illusion, so I used means to break free…”

Lu Changsheng said with a heavy expression.

After experiencing the situation just now, he knew that the Land of Eternal Night was not as simple as he imagined.

He could only say that before, no matter how terrifying the mutated creatures and strange beings in the Land of Eternal Night were, he could solve and deal with them, thinking that the upper limit of this world was not high.

The sudden appearance of such a terrifying existence really caught him off guard.

“Are you alright?” Yun Wanshang saw that Lu Changsheng was not in a good state, his face pale and tired, clearly having consumed too much.

“The consumption is a bit large, and it might be somewhat dangerous to get back safely.”

Although Lu Changsheng had previously shown a relaxed and confident attitude when he was with Yun Wanshang.

But at this moment, he couldn’t relax and felt heavy-hearted.

Yun Wanshang looked around vigilantly and saw the towering beam of light in the depths of the mountain, realizing that they were in a very dangerous forbidden area.

One carelessness could lead to life-threatening danger.

Especially since Lu Changsheng was currently weak, it was very dangerous for the few of them to leave safely.

“True Master, do you still remember the soul realm dream from back then? Don’t you think our current situation is similar to the danger we encountered in the Hundred Thousand Mountains at that time?”

Seeing Yun Wanshang’s expression gradually becoming serious, Lu Changsheng helped the Golden Winged Celestial Roc dispel the gloomy energy in its body through the Sun and Moon Two Poles Mysterious Light Mirror, and said jokingly to ease the tense atmosphere.

“…”

Yun Wanshang was stunned, thinking that Lu Changsheng was hinting at the soul realm dream back then, where they healed their injuries through dual cultivation using her Jade Phoenix Marrow body, and then successfully escaped the danger.

Now that they were in a dangerous situation, healing their injuries through dual cultivation and stimulating their Golden Core Dao Foundation was an excellent method.

It was just that this kind of thing, like back then, with Lu Changsheng’s five senses and six consciousnesses sealed, she could still deceive herself.

To do it with Lu Changsheng now was really difficult…

Her heart was filled with entanglement and shyness.

“True Master, if we get back alive… I’ll go to Qingyun Sect to propose marriage, how about it?”

Seeing Yun Wanshang’s expression, Lu Changsheng paused, looked at her with a sincere expression, and took the opportunity to express his feelings, striking while the iron was hot.

Yun Wanshang did not speak.

Looking at Lu Changsheng’s pale face that couldn’t hide his fatigue, and thinking of the various scenes she had seen in the illusion before, she finally lowered her head slightly and sighed, “Let’s try.”

Lu Changsheng thought Yun Wanshang had agreed to the proposal, but then he felt something was wrong and said, “Try what?”

“Nothing.”

Yun Wanshang’s shy face, which she had tried to keep calm, instantly turned cold.

She had finally made up her mind, and this little scoundrel actually teased her again. Did he really think he could just manipulate her!

For a moment, Yun Wanshang’s heart was filled with shame, grievance, and anger!

Lu Changsheng suddenly understood the meaning of Yun Wanshang’s words. Although he was a little surprised, he quickly said, “Try, let’s try!”

Although his Chaos Body had astonishing self-healing ability, this kind of dual cultivation healing was just average for him now.

But since the other party expressed her feelings in this way, how could he, Lu, refuse?

As long as they took this step, everything else would be logical.

And heaven knows, since coming to the Land of Eternal Night, Old Ancestor Lu hadn’t dual cultivated for two and a half years.

“???”

Qian Zhuyan looked at the situation before her, feeling a little confused.

Why couldn’t she understand what the two of them were saying?

Moreover, the atmosphere was heavy a moment ago, but now it felt a bit like… flirting?

She was very puzzled.

After a long time, when the Golden Winged Celestial Roc woke up, Lu Changsheng found a simple tent from his storage ring, then signaled Qian Zhuyan and the Golden Winged Celestial Roc to stand guard, saying he needed to heal.

“Lu Changsheng, this is just for healing.”

Yun Wanshang’s exquisite and beautiful face was full of elegance and nobility, and she said expressionlessly.

“Naturally.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a serious face, trying his best to keep his emotions calm.

“???”

Qian Zhuyan watched the man and woman with an unusual atmosphere enter the tent. The soul fire in her eye sockets flickered, and her heart was filled with doubt.

A moment later, inside the tent, the mirror of the Sun and Moon Two Poles Mysterious Light Mirror reflected the two people’s clothes gradually slipping off. The spirit artifact Awu’s expressionless young face seemed to have a few ripples.
