Chapter 791: Chapter 789
“These days, you’ve worked hard, Green Flood Dragon King.”
Seeing Yun Wanchang successfully Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, Lu Changsheng immediately cupped his hands towards the Green Flood Dragon King not far away to express his gratitude.
Although during this period, the other party didn’t do much, merely standing there.
But the Aura of a Fourth-Order Middle Stage Demon King was enough to deter many attacking Demon Kings.
“Now you owe this King a favor. You must go and treat my sister. If you fail—”
The Green Flood Dragon King’s half-human, half-Dragon body was extremely tall. At this moment, a faint Aura of a Demon King permeated him, giving off an unparalleled sense of oppression.
If Lu Changsheng hadn’t possessed the Chaos Body and a Fourth-Order Physique, he would have found it difficult to face such power directly.
“Please rest assured, Green Flood Dragon King. Once Lu finishes the matters at hand and Breakthroughs to Nascent Soul, I will come to find you and treat your sister.”
Lu Changsheng said with a serious expression.
Although the Green Flood Dragon King’s arrival carried a hint of coercion, he had, after all, helped Lu Changsheng, so Lu Changsheng was willing to keep his promise.
Moreover, this matter involved the prophecy made by Meng Wuhen and his Dao Companion more than forty years ago, and Lu Changsheng also wanted to know if there was any deeper meaning when they mentioned this to the Green Flood Dragon King in their early years.
As a Fourth-Order Diviner, he knew that Meng Wuhen could not reveal Heavenly Dao secrets without reason.
After all, according to the rules of divination, revealing too many Heavenly Dao secrets to others and affecting their Luck and destiny could easily lead to a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.
This was also why many Diviners always spoke vaguely and only hinted at things.
Lu Changsheng handed a Jade Talisman to the Green Flood Dragon King, then continued, “The Green Flood Dragon King can contact me through this Jade Talisman. How should I contact the Green Flood Dragon King when the time comes?”
The Green Flood Dragon King took Lu Changsheng’s Jade Talisman, examined it for a moment, and said with a resonant voice, “When the time comes, just come to Green Flood Dragon Island.”
After speaking, he thought that as a Human Race, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t know where Green Flood Dragon Island was. He pointed forward with his claw, covered in green scales, and said, “Continue a million li further from here.”
After speaking, he seemed to think of something else and tossed a green scale to Lu Changsheng, saying, “If any Yao Race attacks you on the way, hold this Dragon scale and announce this King’s name. No Yao Race will dare to block your path then.”
His words were strong and powerful, like the clash of metal and stone, revealing an Aura that could swallow mountains and rivers.
“Alright, please rest assured, Green Flood Dragon King.”
Lu Changsheng took the green scale, knowing that it should be a scale from the Green Flood Dragon King’s body.
If he had malicious intent, he could even curse the other party through this scale.
“Human Race Cultivator, this King has already memorized your Aura, so if you dare to deceive this King—”
The Green Flood Dragon King’s gaze moved from Lu Changsheng and looked towards Riftwind Island, then he grinned, his sharp, white teeth gleaming with a cold light.
“Since Lu has agreed to the Green Flood Dragon King, I naturally won’t go back on my word. At most, in a few years, I will come to repay the favor.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t mind the Green Flood Dragon King’s threat and said with a calm expression.
“You are very bold. This King believes you.”
Seeing this, the Green Flood Dragon King said no more and directly stepped on the waves and departed.
His tall figure seemed to merge with the sea, making it difficult to capture, and in an instant, he disappeared from Lu Changsheng’s sight.
With just this method, Lu Changsheng could tell that this Green Flood Dragon King was no ordinary Fourth-Order Middle Stage Demon King.
He was very likely on the same level as Shen Jianjia!
Seeing the Green Flood Dragon King leave, Lu Changsheng immediately flew into Riftwind Island. However, Yun Wanchang, who had successfully Breakthrough, had already rushed from the island.
Unlike her usual self, she was not wearing a colorful and luxurious skirt, but a black armor.
The armor, pieced together from nine tortoise shells, had very smooth lines, rising and falling with the woman’s curves, perfectly fitting her graceful figure.
The Vicious Beast patterns on the surface of the tortoise shells were lifelike, as if Vicious Beasts were lurking within them, ready to break out of the armor at any time and devour people, making her body emanate an indescribable majesty and dominance.
Under the Heavenly Tribulation before, her elegant dark hair, usually neatly coiled and adorned with a Phoenix hairpin, was now disheveled and scattered.
But this appearance, combined with the Nine Abyss Mysterious Tortoise Armor on her, complemented each other, giving her a domineering Aura and heroic spirit she had never possessed before.
“Lu Changsheng, are you alright? Who was that person just now?”
Although she was Undergoing Tribulation just now, she still sensed the Green Flood Dragon King’s Aura, realizing that he was a very terrifying Demon King.
“I’m fine.”
Lu Changsheng looked at Yun Wanchang’s stunning appearance, which was completely different from her usual self, and his eyes showed admiration and amazement.
After Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, although Yun Wanchang’s appearance didn’t change much, her temperament and charm had improved by a level.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng smiled and congratulated Yun Wanchang, “Congratulations, Immortal Master, for forming your Nascent Soul. From now on, you shall be called Caiyun Zhenjun.”
“Congratulations, Senior, on Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and becoming a True Lord!”
The five Core Formation cultivators who were helping guard the island saw this and loudly congratulated Yun Wanchang.
For the past half year, they were the most worried about Yun Wanchang’s Breakthrough and Undergoing Tribulation.
After all, there were waves of beast tides, and also Fourth-Order Demon Kings.
The final Green Flood Dragon King made them tremble with fear, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Now seeing the crisis resolved and Yun Wanchang successfully Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, the worry in their hearts immediately lifted.
However, thinking that Yun Wanchang had Breakthrough and they were now useless, and whether Lu Changsheng would silence them, they suddenly became nervous again, their hearts, which had just relaxed, now tightened.
“This Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, I owe it all to you.”
Yun Wanchang said, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.
During the Undergoing Tribulation process, Demon Kings attacked. Although she wasn’t clear about the specifics, she knew the process was very dangerous.
If it weren’t for Lu Changsheng’s obstruction, her Breakthrough in such a gathering place for Yao Beasts would have been a sure death.
Furthermore, without Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul Pill, the golden small cauldron, and the Nine Abyss Mysterious Tortoise Armor, her Nascent Soul would not have formed so smoothly.
Perhaps she could have entered the Earthly Dao Nascent Soul, but it would definitely not have reached its current level.
Of course, she felt that the greatest possibility was that she would have perished in the Heart Demon Tribulation.
If she hadn’t frankly accepted Lu Changsheng, had a clear state of mind, and had a child, and the Heavenly Tribulation hadn’t caused much damage, she felt that her former self, even with the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul Opportunity, would have had an eighty percent chance of perishing under the Heart Demon Tribulation.
Therefore, her emotions towards Lu Changsheng were now incredibly complex; she truly didn’t know how to repay him.
“Heh heh, as Dao Companions, we should naturally support each other.”
Lu Changsheng grinned, his eyes warm and gentle, then asked, “Is the child alright?”
As he spoke, he leaned closer, wanting to sense the fetus in Yun Wanchang’s lower abdomen.
Yun Wanchang immediately used her magical power to push Lu Changsheng away, saying shyly, “What are you doing!?”
Although she had accepted Lu Changsheng during her Breakthrough earlier.
But at that time, she had a desperate mindset. Now, facing such intimate gestures, she still felt a bit unaccustomed.
Moreover, Cultivators have Divine Sense; this boy would know with just a glance of his Divine Sense, so why would he need to act like a Mortal?
This little scoundrel was just deliberately teasing her!
“Am I not looking at our child?”
Lu Changsheng was a bit speechless.
They were already an old married couple, yet she was still as shy as a young girl.
Not far away, Qian Zhuyan saw that as soon as the crisis was resolved, the two began to flirt, and the Soul fire in her eye sockets flickered faintly.
In her early years, when her Divine Soul merged with the Puppet, half of it transformed into a Puppet Spirit, causing her emotions to be almost completely obscured by hatred, like a revenge machine.
It wasn’t until she interacted with Lu Changsheng, and he continuously refined the negative emotions produced by the Puppet Spirit’s Divine Soul through the Six Desires Heart Demon Art, that she gradually regained some human emotions.
Originally, these emotions were still very faint.
But ever since she arrived in the Eternal Night Land, watching Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanchang being intimate every day, for some reason, her emotions became more and more volatile, and she even experienced what it felt like to be jealous and displeased.
And after the Puppet Spirit advanced to Fourth-Order, her condition improved even further.
She could barely suppress the distorted emotions she had in her early years, like a Ghost Cultivator.
This also led to her feeling very displeased when she saw Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanchang’s intimate appearance.
They had worked so hard and been busy for so long, yet the two of them became affectionate and flirtatious as soon as they met!
However, she didn’t harbor any resentment towards Yun Wanchang, only envy.
She envied her beautiful face, figure, and talent.
Not only had she Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, but she was also so adored by her Master.
Many times, she even felt that Yun Wanchang was a bit ungrateful.
At this moment, a thought suddenly arose in Qian Zhuyan’s mind: should she upgrade her Puppet body to a bionic appearance in the future?
With her Puppet craftsmanship, it was not a problem at all to construct and refine her Puppet body into her early appearance.
The only drawback was that doing so would limit the Puppet’s combat capabilities, making it less comprehensive than it was now.
For a moment, Qian Zhuyan fell into a dilemma.
Lu Changsheng used his Divine Sense to look at the fetus in Yun Wanchang’s womb, knowing that it had not been affected by the Heavenly Tribulation. In fact, under the baptism of the Qilin bone marrow and Yun Wanchang’s Heavenly Tribulation as the mother, it had gained a vast spiritual essence.
It could be said that these benefits alone meant that this child’s future talent would not be bad!
Looking at this child, he suddenly thought of his Great Luo Sword Embryo.
This Sword Embryo could be given to a pregnant Nascent Soul True Lord, allowing her to refine it into her body and nurture the fetus with the Sword Embryo’s Origin.
This way, once the fetus formed and was born, it could possess a Sword Embryo Dao Body!
Although Lu Changsheng had originally planned to give this Sword Embryo to Honglian to conceive offspring.
But now he felt that Yun Wanchang was also very suitable.
Firstly, Yun Wanchang had already Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and was pregnant, so the conditions were all met.
If he waited for Honglian to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, it would still take some years.
Secondly, his Nascent Soul Breakthrough was imminent. If he could give birth to a Sword Embryo Dao Body, his talent and Chaos Body would likely directly improve by a level.
At that time, Lu Changsheng felt that anything above Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, even Dao Nascent Soul, would be within reach!
However, doing so would mean he would lose a Sharp Weapon for offense.
Over the years, when he fought with Nascent Soul cultivators and Fourth-Order Demon Kings, he often relied on the sharpness of this Sword Embryo.
Without the Great Luo Sword Embryo, his offensive capabilities would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
“Now that Qianzhu and Tihun have both advanced to Fourth-Order, and Jinpeng will also advance to Fourth-Order soon, having them protect the Dao means not having the Sword Embryo won’t affect me.”
“Moreover, once I Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, I can initially activate the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror. At that time, not having the Sword Embryo won’t matter either.”
Lu Changsheng made a decision in a flash of lightning, intending to give the Sword Embryo to Yun Wanchang to nurture the fetus.
However, this kind of thing still required the other party’s consent.
Yun Wanchang had just Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and should be consolidating her cultivation and practicing Divine Ability techniques.
If she were to nurture the fetus with the Sword Embryo, it would certainly affect her cultivation and even deplete her own energy.
“What’s wrong?”
Yun Wanchang saw Lu Changsheng suddenly staring at her lower abdomen without blinking, and thought that her Undergoing Tribulation had affected the fetus.
“Just thought of something,” Lu Changsheng said with some hesitation.
“What is it?”
If it were before, Yun Wanchang might not have asked further.
But now that their relationship had progressed and they had opened their hearts to each other, seeing Lu Changsheng’s hesitant expression, she immediately pressed him for an answer.
“Immortal Master… Caiyun, you should know about this Sword Embryo, right?”
He had always called her Immortal Master before, which had become a habit for Lu Changsheng. Now that she had Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, he felt a bit unaccustomed.
Although he could be more intimate and call her “Wanchang” or “Shang’er,” he felt that given Yun Wanchang’s personality, she would probably find it very awkward and wouldn’t accept it.
Yun Wanchang nodded lightly.
Although this Sword Embryo looked ancient and rough, like an uncarved sword blank.
But in the Eternal Night Land, she had clearly seen the power of this Sword Embryo, its sword light interweaving, brilliant and dazzling, its sharpness peerless.
Although this power was related to Lu Changsheng’s strength, it was also inextricably linked to this Sword Embryo.
She knew that this Sword Embryo was some kind of Sword Dao supreme treasure!
“This Sword Embryo, besides being unparalleled in offense, also has a special effect: it can serve as a symbiotic Sword Embryo to nurture a Sword Embryo Dao Body.”
Lu Changsheng said slowly.
“Symbiotic Sword Embryo… Dao Body?”
Yun Wanchang heard this, and her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.
As a Cultivator who had cultivated for several hundred years, she naturally knew what a Dao Body meant.
Spiritual Physiques are divided into Low-Grade, Mid-Grade, High-Grade, and Top-Grade.
And above Spiritual Physiques is the Dao Body!
For example, she had always believed in her early years that Lu Changsheng possessed some kind of Dao Body.
Otherwise, his growth speed would be too astonishing and unbelievable.
So at this moment, she was stunned by Lu Changsheng’s words.
This Sword Embryo could actually nurture a Dao Body!
Although records about Dao Bodies in the Cultivation World were very scarce, she didn’t know what level of Physique the Sword Embryo Dao Body belonged to.
But she had once seen a saying:
Dao Bodies are born for cultivation, belonging to the great Luck bearers of an era, destined to be invincible at the same level. Others can only look up to them and cannot stand shoulder to shoulder!
Possessing a Dao Body means that as long as one doesn’t die prematurely, Breakthrough to Nascent Soul is almost a certainty!
“You want to use this Sword Embryo to nurture Yunxiao?”
Yun Wanchang instantly understood Lu Changsheng’s meaning and said with a mix of surprise and joy.
If her son could possess a Dao Body, she would naturally be willing.
She felt that this Sword Embryo would help her create the son with peerless talent from her Soul Dao dream.
However, both the power of the Sword Embryo and its effect of nurturing a Dao Body made her feel somewhat astonishing and too unbelievable. She wondered if it would be a waste or have a negative impact on the child.
“Yunxiao?”
Lu Changsheng was first stunned when he heard this unfamiliar name, then praised, “Lu Yunxiao, what a good name. ‘Yun’ (云) signifies the freedom of heaven and earth, extraordinary and unrestrained; ‘Xiao’ (霄) signifies lofty aspirations, reaching the Nine Heavens, the ultimate goal of ambition.”
“?”
Yun Wanchang really wanted to say how thick-skinned this man was; the ‘Yun’ in Yunxiao was clearly her surname.
But when you eat someone’s food, you are beholden to them.
Having received so many benefits from Lu Changsheng, she now faced him with a somewhat diminished Aura, no longer having the self-righteousness she had as a Master and Senior in her early years.
“En, this Sword Embryo can only be borne by a Nascent Soul True Lord when used to nurture a fetus, otherwise, it would be dangerous.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and continued, “Caiyun, you’ve Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and are pregnant with our child, so I thought we could use this Sword Embryo to help him win at the starting line.”
After speaking, Lu Changsheng added, “It’s just that Caiyun, you’ve just Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and your cultivation is not yet stable. If you use the Sword Embryo to nurture the fetus, it might have some impact on you and delay your Cultivation.”
“Delaying Cultivation is fine, but I see this Sword Embryo is extraordinarily rare and should be a supreme treasure of the Sword Dao. If it’s used to nurture Yunxiao, wouldn’t you lack an offensive weapon?”
Although the Sword Embryo was for nurturing the child, Yun Wanchang felt as if Lu Changsheng was giving her a benefit.
Having received so many benefits from Lu Changsheng, she already felt pressured, and how could she be willing to accept such a supreme treasure of the Sword Dao?
Moreover, from the Eternal Night Land to Riftwind Island, she had seen Lu Changsheng constantly using this Sword Embryo.
“These won’t affect it. After the Sword Embryo finishes nurturing, it won’t be gone. It will just become Yunxiao’s symbiotic Sword Embryo, with reduced power, and others will find it difficult to activate.”
“Besides, other than the Sword Embryo, I have other Magic Treasures.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Seeing Yun Wanchang agree to nurture the Sword Embryo, Lu Changsheng continued, “However, the matter of the Sword Embryo will have to wait a bit. I still have something to resolve now.”
Although his mind was now filled with Yun Wanchang’s pregnancy, Lu Changsheng hadn’t forgotten Lu Lingjing’s ominous omen.
“What is it?” Yun Wanchang asked immediately, seeing Lu Changsheng’s expression turn serious.
“When I entered the Eternal Night Land, a spirit pet separated from me. It is currently in danger and has an ominous omen, so I must hurry to rescue her.”
As Lu Changsheng spoke, he flew with Yun Wanchang to the spiritual eye of Riftwind Island, sat cross-legged, and threw out three divination coins to deduce Lu Lingjing’s current situation and location.
