Chapter 798: Donghuang, the first Tao body!

The news of Yun Wanchang’s Breakthrough to Nascent Soul outside and her return to Qingyun Sect quickly spread.

This news was earth-shattering, like a deep-sea bomb, stirring up endless waves in the Jiang Country Cultivation World.

Not only Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Yu Ling Sect, but even Heaven Sword Sect was shocked and disbelieving when they received this news.

After all, fifty years is not a very long time for a Core Formation cultivator.

Many Core Formation cultivators from the Four Great Immortal Sects knew Yun Wanchang.

Although she had shown extraordinary talent in her early years and was expected to reach Nascent Soul in the future, the Four Great Immortal Sects have existed for thousands of years, and there are at least eighty to a hundred Cultivators with the potential to reach Nascent Soul.

Besides those with potential or the ‘Nascent Soul Physique,’ there are also ‘Nascent Soul seeds’ above them.

Yet, very few ultimately achieve the Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, making them incredibly rare.

Everyone was stunned, almost unable to believe that Yun Wanchang not only achieved the Breakthrough to Nascent Soul but did so incredibly quickly.

“Is this true or false?”

“The news came from Qingyun Sect; when Caiyun Zhenjun returned to the Sect, she displayed her Nascent Soul power outside the Qingyun Sect mountain gate, so it cannot be false.”

“When will this Caiyun Zhenjun hold her Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony?”

“Let’s go, quickly head to Qingyun Sect to pay respects to Caiyun Zhenjun!”

Many Core Formation forces prepared lavish gifts and went to Qingyun Sect to offer congratulations.

In areas under Qingyun’s governance, some even went to Bihu Mountain to offer congratulations.

After all, Immortal Master Chang Sheng Zhenren of Bihu Mountain’s Dao Companion, Immortal Master Xiao Xiyue, is a Disciple of Caiyun Zhenjun.

Now that Caiyun Zhenren has achieved the Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and ascended to the rank of True Lord, Bihu Mountain’s status naturally rises as well.

“Mom? Grandmaster has achieved the Breakthrough to Nascent Soul?”

Lu Wangshu heard the rumors from outside and immediately went to ask her mother, Xiao Xiyue, for confirmation, asking in surprise.

“Yes.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded gently.

“Then should we go pay respects to Grandmaster? I don’t think I’ve ever met Grandmaster before.”

Lu Wangshu said very sensibly, feeling that she now had another Nascent Soul backing her in the future.

However, thinking that her smelly father hadn’t returned from Great Dream Immortal City yet, she felt a little upset.

“Your Grandmaster is busy now and went into seclusion upon returning; she will only see people later. When the time comes, Mom will take you to pay respects to Grandmaster.”

Xiao Xiyue said softly, not feeling there was anything inappropriate about taking Lu Wangshu to see Yun Wanchang.

After all, she and Lu Changsheng were formally married and held a Dao Companion ceremony in Qingyun Sect.

As for the matter with Senior Sister and Shou Zheng, she is now waiting for Lu Changsheng to return and resolve it himself.

“Caiyun Zhenjun!?”

In Heaven Sword Sect, Sword Saint Monarch frowned deeply and pondered while looking at Yun Wanchang’s intelligence information.

Half a month ago, he had received information from Xuan Jian Zhenjun in Yuan Country, stating that there might be changes in Jiang Country and a new Nascent Soul True Lord might be born.

He never expected that this Nascent Soul True Lord would come from Qingyun Sect.

He carefully reviewed Yun Wanchang’s relevant data and felt that her Breakthrough to Nascent Soul was completely illogical.

Even with an Opportunity, it shouldn’t have been so fast to achieve the Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

“Did she obtain a superior Nascent Soul Opportunity outside, or was it from the Tian Yuan Secret Realm in her early years?”

Sword Saint Monarch naturally knew Yun Wanchang.

He remembered that the Tian Yuan Secret Realm in its early years was discovered by Yun Wanchang first.

Now it seemed that as one of the first people to encounter the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, she very likely obtained a Nascent Soul Opportunity from it and kept it a secret.

Without much thought, Sword Saint Monarch stood up, preparing to go to Qingyun Sect to meet this Caiyun Zhenjun.

The news of Caiyun Zhenjun also reached Great Dream Immortal City.

However, Lu Changsheng, as the Master of Great Dream Immortal City, was not at all concerned by this news; he was currently inside the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, helping his son’s Demon Embryo Incarnation.

Lu Linghe sat obediently by the side, constantly examining the kunpeng egg before her, full of wonder, thinking that a brother was going into an egg to be re-hatched.

“Daddy, how much longer until Quanzhen brother hatches?”

Lu Linghe blinked her clear, big eyes, full of anticipation, asking her father, very eager to see how a person could hatch from an egg.

“It should still be some time. If you’re bored, you can go find Xiao Xi, Little Peng King, and them to play.”

Lu Changsheng said gently to his daughter.

After returning home, teaching his daughter Lu Baixi was naturally an indispensable part of their warm father-daughter daily routine.

But fatherly love and energy were limited.

After teaching for a few days, Lu Changsheng called the Golden Winged Roc and had him take over teaching Lu Baixi.

Seeing that his former Uncle Big Gold was now younger than himself, Lu Baixi’s usually cold little face couldn’t help but break into a smile, but she refused to call him uncle anymore.

Considering that the Golden Winged Roc was, after all, a Soul Transformation Yao King, Lu Baixi, Lu Mengchan, Lu Linghe, and other female members of the Lu family began to call Golden Peng “Little Peng King.”

“With Daddy here, I’m not bored.”

Lu Linghe smiled brightly, transforming into a curious baby, constantly asking Lu Changsheng various questions.

Just then, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt something, and his brows furrowed slightly.

“Someone is divining Lingjing. Is it Peace Ocean True Lord and them!?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was stern as he performed a divination with his fingers.

After driving away Overturning Ocean True Lord and the other two, Lu Changsheng had guessed that the three would not give up easily.

They would definitely ask a Diviner to divine their situation.

He had the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, so he had nothing to worry about.

After Yun Wanchang became pregnant with their son, she could use the Lu Clan Genealogy to help shield the heavenly secrets.

As for Qian Zhuyan, Golden Winged Roc, Tihun Beast, and Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, Lu Changsheng personally used heavenly secret arts to help conceal their fates.

According to his judgment, Qian Zhuyan, Golden Winged Roc, and Tihun Beast had all advanced to Four-Rank, making them difficult to divine without a medium or token.

Only the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, which had been hunted by Peace Ocean True Lord and the other two for a long time, might be divined.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng not only helped conceal her fate but also placed several Magic Treasures that concealed heavenly secrets on her.

“Fourth-Order Diviner!?”

Through the faint heavenly secret power, Lu Changsheng roughly determined that Peace Ocean True Lord and the other two had invited a Fourth-Order Diviner to perform the divination.

“As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator, their connections are vast.”

Fourth-Order Diviners are not only rare in the Jiang Country Cultivation World but also few and far between even in Xingxiu Sea, belonging to the ranks of phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

“A Diviner from the Town Sea Seven Sects? Or Star Moon Hall?”

Lu Changsheng mused in his heart.

Although most forces would recruit or Cultivate Diviners, based on Lu Changsheng’s judgment, Peace Ocean True Lord would most likely not invite a Diviner from the Town Sea Seven Sects, but rather another Diviner.

And the most famous Diviner in Xingxiu Sea is the top-tier force renowned for divination—Star Moon Hall.

“Under normal circumstances, a Fourth-Order Diviner would not sacrifice lifespan to help others divine heavenly secrets.”

“Even if they divine that Lingjing is in Great Dream Marsh, they won’t easily come over now.”

Lu Changsheng mused, confident in his heavenly secret art.

Unless this Fourth-Order Diviner was willing to sacrifice their lifespan, it would be impossible to divine the situation of Lu Lingjing and himself.

And most Fourth-Order Diviners are Nascent Soul True Lords, who cannot be coerced.

Therefore, it’s impossible for them to waste their lifespan helping others divine.

“However, dragging this out is always a ticking time bomb.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes were profound, his pupils seemingly interwoven with a great heavenly secret net, seeing that the matters of the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale and the kunpeng egg would still form a fierce calamity Qi.

“Xiao He, Daddy will take you to find Lingjing.”

After a moment of thought, Lu Changsheng still decided to go check on the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale’s situation and resist this heavenly secret divination.

“Okay, okay.”

Lu Linghe glanced at the kunpeng egg beside her, then walked out of the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus with Lu Changsheng and quietly arrived at Xuan Whale Island through the Mi Chen Banner.

Star Moon Hall is located on the Meteorite Archipelago in the boundless ocean.

The main body of the palace resembles a giant star core, emitting profound starlight, suspended amidst a sea of clouds beneath the towering light pillars emanating from thirteen islands, intertwining with the sea and sky’s glow, magnificent and beautiful.

At this moment, a man wearing a wide robe embroidered with blue sea patterns and with eyes as deep as the ocean walked out of Star Moon Hall.

His face was solemn, his hands clenched tightly within the sleeves embroidered with layered wave patterns, veins bulging, showing his poor mood.

The sea wind howled, his robes flapped, and his hair danced wildly.

After standing still for a moment, Peace Ocean True Lord took a step, and his entire being seemed to merge into the boundless ocean, his figure disappearing.

At the same time, inside Star Moon Hall.

A boy of twelve or thirteen, with a charmingly handsome face and pupils like swirling nebulae, sat opposite a mysterious and noble woman whose eyes were covered by a light veil and whose skin was as pale as the cold moon.

“Star King, what do you think?”

The woman, dressed in a sky-blue wide-sleeved robe that flowed like clouds, her light purple hair elegantly coiffed and flowing loose, adorned with nine jade hairpins, spoke in a voice devoid of emotion.

This boy, called Star King, was one of the two Hall Masters of this top-tier force in Xingxiu Sea, Star Moon Hall!

The boy’s eyes were deep, his thin lips curved into a sneer, and he said mockingly, “What do I think? It’s just a coincidence.”

“According to the Ancestral Master’s last words, when the Sun Moon Star Palace was breached, the Eastern Emperor lineage was already completely wiped out by the Yao Race. How could there still be a Great Sun Spirit Treasure left outside?”

“Moon Lord, don’t tell me you think the Sun Divine Light that Peace Ocean mentioned comes from the Eastern Emperor lineage, and you want to assist this person in rebuilding the Sun Moon Star Palace?”

The boy looked at the woman before him, whose eyes were covered by a light veil and whose skirt bloomed like a mandala flower, and said coldly.

Not long ago, Peace Ocean True Lord of the Town Sea Seven Sects came to their Star Moon Hall, asking him and Moon Lord to divine.

Although he and Moon Lord never easily divined for others, Peace Ocean True Lord paid a great price and also owed them a favor, so the two agreed.

Because the divination process was chaotic and difficult to discern, with heavy resistance, they asked Peace Ocean True Lord for more information as a divination medium.

And it was then that they received astonishing news from Peace Ocean True Lord.

The person Peace Ocean True Lord asked them to divine possessed a supreme treasure that could project Sun Divine Light across the endless Void Realm!

At that time, he and Moon Lord did not say much, only informing Peace Ocean True Lord that the other party had a treasure that could isolate heavenly secrets and a top-tier Diviner helping them.

However, as long as he spent time and effort based on the current clues, he would eventually gain something.

After Peace Ocean True Lord left, the two of them tried to divine, but immediately realized something was wrong; this supreme treasure was not something they could divine at their current level.

“Moreover, Grandmaster had a prophecy back then: the Great Sun will emerge from the East Sea Fusang, and the Xingxiu Sea area belongs to the Nanhua Cultivation World.”

Star King continued, “Even if the Eastern Emperor reincarnates, or an Eastern Emperor appears, it will be in the East Sea Cultivation World, not the Xingxiu Sea!”

“Since that’s the case, let’s wait and see.”

Moon Lord’s eyes, veiled like fine patterns, shimmered, and the crystal on her forehead pulsed with illusory ripples, her expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.

Having Cultivated together for hundreds of years, how could she not understand Star King’s thoughts? He was unwilling to become a subordinate of the Great Sun lineage.

Not to mention Star King, she was also unwilling to assist an Eastern Emperor she had never seen, as per her Grandmaster’s last words.

At the very least, she needed to meet this “Eastern Emperor” first.

Otherwise, according to Master, Sun Moon Star Palace was once a top power in the East Sea, with a True Venerable Transformation God presiding over it.

Despite such strength, it was still annihilated.

She and Star King were only Nascent Soul cultivators; if they made a rash choice and returned to the East Sea Cultivation World with the Eastern Emperor, they might be directly killed by the Sun Moon Star Palace’s former enemies.

Xuan Whale Island.

Lu Changsheng saw the invisible heavenly fate dissipate and knew, as he had guessed, that the other party had not delved deeper into divination.

This was normal. At the Nascent Soul, Fourth-Order Diviner level, few people were willing to shorten their lifespan or sacrifice their luck to help others divine information.

After strolling around Great Dream Marsh with his daughter, Lu Changsheng returned to the City Lord’s Mansion to help Lu Quanzhen with his Demon Fetus Incarnation.

Half a month later, Ling Zixiao sent a message that Immortal Master Tie Jian had come to visit.

Immortal Master Tie Jian was the former Sect Leader of Heaven Sword Sect and is now an Elder after stepping down.

His status is second only to Xuanjian Zhenjun and Sword Saint Monarch.

After some discussion, Lu Changsheng had his son Lu Lingxiao lead a Core Formation Guest Elder and several False Core Guest Elders from Great Dream Immortal City to support Liang Country.

As for Qian Zhuyan or Golden Winged Roc going, which he had considered before, he thought it over and decided to give up.

Firstly, the situation of the Liang Yue War had changed; unlike before, it required long-term presence and even direct participation in combat.

Qian Zhuyan was currently focused on researching Four-Rank Puppets, and Lu Changsheng didn’t want to disturb him.

Secondly, Qian Zhuyan’s enemies, Ancient Puppet Sect, were in the Endless Desert west of Liang Country.

Liang Country had invited Jiang Country for assistance over the years, and Liang Country, besides the Yuan Country Alliance, also invited many Loose Cultivators and forces, so there was a possibility of Cultivators from Ancient Puppet Sect appearing.

If Qian Zhuyan was noticed by these Cultivators, it might complicate matters.

As for sending Golden Winged Roc, one reason was Immortal Master Yang Ming’s identity.

Another reason was that such a Transformed Yao Race King, once Lu Changsheng was not by his side, would not be as easy to talk to as he was now.

Unless Lu Changsheng went with him, or had Red Lotus go.

But Red Lotus was also preparing for Nascent Soul matters.

So, when he sent his son Lu Lingxiao, Lu Changsheng also provided several Three-Rank Puppets, showing full sincerity.

Two months later, inside the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus.

The kunpeng egg, covered with dense runes, began to tremble, with golden and dark luster intertwining and surging, forming terrifying energy fluctuations.

Lu Changsheng looked at the kunpeng egg before him, his expression filled with anticipation.

He really wanted to know how much his son could improve after plundering the Origin of a Kunpeng cub.

“Buzz buzz buzz—”

As the kunpeng egg trembled more and more violently, the surrounding air seemed to be twisted by this force, forming ripples.

After a long while, a crisp cracking sound rang out.

Then, a brilliant golden and black light burst forth from the kunpeng egg like a tide, dazzling and piercing, illuminating the entire cave heaven.

“Wah wah wah, Brother Quanzhen is coming out!”

Lu Linghe, who was meditating nearby, immediately shouted excitedly, eager to find out what was happening.

However, the light in front of her was too dazzling, making her unable to open her eyes.

If it weren’t for the three sariras Lu Changsheng had given her, she wouldn’t have been able to withstand the surging Qi.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng quickly shielded his daughter.

Seeing the faint figure inside the kunpeng egg, he then shielded his daughter’s eyes with his Divine Sense.

A few breaths later, a pure and vast surge of Qi and magic power suddenly poured into his body, accompanied by a System prompt.

【Congratulations to the host for giving birth to the first Dao Physique offspring, obtaining one rare lottery Opportunity!】

【Detecting an upgrade in the host’s offspring’s Spirit Physique, with conflicting effects. Do you choose Fusion?】

“Dao Physique!?”

Lu Changsheng was surprised by the feedback of Qi and magic power.

He didn’t expect the System to prompt him that he had given birth to his first Dao Physique offspring.

His first thought was the Sword Fetus Dao Physique in Yun Wanchang’s womb.

But the next prompt from the System made him realize it wasn’t the Sword Fetus Dao Physique.

Instead, his son Lu Quanzhen’s Physique had directly upgraded from the previous High-Grade Spirit Physique to a Dao Physique!

“This!?”

Even Lu Changsheng was stunned by his son’s improvement.

Although his son’s Kunpeng Demon Body was a High-Grade Spirit Physique, it had only barely reached that level.

Its effect was inferior to the High-Grade Spirit Physiques of his sons Lu Ping’an, Lu Lingxiao, and others.

So he thought his son’s Kunpeng Demon Body would at most improve to the level of a Top-Grade Spirit Physique.

But he didn’t expect his son’s Physique to directly transcend Spirit Physique and upgrade to a Dao Physique!

Not only that, for the first Dao Physique, the System generously gave a gift—a rare lottery!

One must know that previously, whether it was Low-Grade Spirit Physique, Mid-Grade Spirit Physique, or Top-Grade Spirit Physique, the System’s gift was only a normal lottery.

Now it has directly upgraded to a rare lottery!

At this moment, Lu Changsheng felt that his son’s Demon Fetus Incarnation was truly worth it!

His own efforts over the years were also completely worth it.

Not only did he gain a Nascent Soul Pill, several exotic treasures, and Spirit Treasures, but he also gained a Dao Physique and a rare lottery!

He suppressed the surging Qi and magic power in his body, planning to digest and integrate them later.

The terrifying Qi emanating from the kunpeng egg lasted for about half an hour before gradually subsiding.

In front of him, a robust, slender young man stood proudly.

His hair was thick and cascaded behind him, his eyes were deep and intimidating, one golden and bright, the other dark and profound, and his entire body glowed with brilliant divine light, as if a Kunpeng phantom coiled around him, filled with magnificent vital Qi.

Lu Changsheng looked at his son, Lu Quanzhen, in front of him, marveling in his heart.

Too extraordinary!

Although his appearance was still the same as before, his temperament was completely different.

He was like an ancient deity, transcending all living beings, and also like a humanoid Kunpeng, devouring heaven and earth!

“Father!”

Feeling the surging and vast vital Qi and power within him, Lu Quanzhen called out to Lu Changsheng with a joyful expression.

From falling into the hands of the Kunpeng cub to parasitizing it, then taking over and plundering its Origin, and then the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus lacking Spiritual Qi, becoming powerless and critically ill, to finally completing the Demon Fetus Incarnation, he had experienced several life-and-death situations over the past decade or so.

But all of it was worth it!

The gains from these ten-plus years were enough to surpass a hundred years of his arduous Cultivation!

“Very good.”

Lu Changsheng praised with satisfaction.

In his early years, his son Lu Quanzhen fell into the hands of Ghost Devil True Person, leading to a shortened lifespan and damaged Origin.

Although he helped to replenish the Origin afterward, his lifespan could not be restored.

Now, with his son’s current situation, he didn’t need to worry about his lifespan at all.

“Brother Quanzhen!”

Lu Linghe, whose eyes were covered by Lu Changsheng, immediately shouted, wanting to see her brother “hatch” from the egg.

“Quickly put on your clothes.”

Lu Changsheng immediately threw a green magic robe to his son and said.

Lu Quanzhen also realized that he had just emerged from the shell, completely naked.

It was fine between father and son, but there was also a younger sister present.

He immediately took the clothes and put them on neatly.

Dressed in a green wide robe, his figure was much taller and more robust than before, but he wasn’t as burly and muscular as Lu Ping’an; instead, he was more slender and agile.

“Wow, Brother Quanzhen, you really came out of an egg!”

After her father released her eyes, Lu Linghe looked at Lu Quanzhen in front of her, her small mouth forming an “O” shape in surprise.

“…”

Although it was true, why did it sound so strange?

Lu Quanzhen rarely stayed at Lu after Foundation Establishment, but he still recognized Lu Wangshu, Lu Linghe, and other Lu Clan Disciples, and nodded slightly, “Xiao He.”

“Brother Quanzhen, you seem to have grown a lot! Are you hungry? I have food here.”

Lu Linghe blinked her big eyes and said to Lu Quanzhen, wanting to take food out of her Storage Pouch for him.

However, the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus had an invisible suppressive force, making it difficult to open the Storage Pouch without great magic power.

She immediately said to her father, “Daddy, I can’t open my Storage Pouch.”

“You’ll be able to open it once we go out.”

Lu Changsheng rubbed her head and looked at the kunpeng egg, wondering where the Kunpeng cub was.

Seeing his father’s gaze, Lu Quanzhen immediately cupped his hands and said, “Father, according to my initial plan, this Kunpeng cub would at most be half-crippled, but there was a slight accident during the Incarnation process, so this Kunpeng cub was completely refined by me…”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng felt a little regretful but didn’t care too much.

After all, if his son hadn’t completely refined the Kunpeng cub, he might not have been able to upgrade to a Dao Physique.

Besides, he just wanted to see if he could obtain some Kunpeng essence blood from the Kunpeng cub to help his children Cultivate the True Spirit Nine Transformations.
