Chapter 803: Lu Changsheng, are you very proud now?
The three of them entered the main hall. When Xiao Xiyue bowed, she subconsciously glanced at her Master’s lower abdomen.
However, beneath the colorful palace dress, her lower abdomen was completely flat, with no signs of pregnancy.
But as a Nascent Soul True Lord, it was incredibly simple to conceal a pregnancy.
Xiao Xiyue didn’t look further, nor did she dare to. She circulated her Supreme Emotion Severing Art, her heart as clear as ice, unshaken by any calamity.
Lu Shouzheng looked up, directly at the peerless divine woman above the main hall, who was like a dream, ethereal, and enveloped in a colorful, misty celestial light.
She was blurry and indistinct, difficult to see clearly.
However, the next moment, he saw her eyes, shimmering with light and color, as if containing a galaxy.
These eyes gazed at him, seemingly wanting to see through him completely.
Lu Shouzheng’s heart tightened, feeling both fear and awe. He instinctively wanted to look away, lowering his head, not daring to meet her gaze.
But recalling that this was the Grandmaster his mother spoke of, he suppressed his instinct, trying hard to meet her gaze.
“Are you Qingyi’s son?”
Yun Wanchang didn’t look at Lu Changsheng or Xiao Xiyue; she only gazed at the young man in front of her, asking softly, her voice carrying an indescribable majesty.
Xiao Xiyue’s body stiffened upon hearing this, feeling a bit nervous.
Lu Changsheng, however, calmly placed his hand on his son’s shoulder, helping him relieve the pressure.
Even though Yun Wanchang didn’t reveal a trace of her magical power.
But having just broken through to Nascent Soul and being pregnant, nurturing the sword embryo, she still formed some intangible pressure.
Lu Shouzheng immediately relaxed, neither humble nor arrogant, saying, “My mother is Chu Qingyi of Caiyun Peak, Qingyun Sect.”
“Mm.”
Yun Wanchang’s expression remained unchanged.
The moment she saw Lu Shouzheng, she guessed he was the son of her Disciple Chu Qingyi and Lu Changsheng.
Immediately after, her gaze fell upon Xiao Xiyue, dressed in a moon-white gown, her face cold and pure, and she questioned, “Xiyue, why did you not report Shou Zheng’s matter to me immediately upon my return to the sect?”
Although Master’s voice was incredibly calm, Xiao Xiyue heard the suppressed anger within it.
Just as Lu Changsheng had said, Master had long since detected the matter between him and Senior Sister.
So, she was already mentally prepared for Lu Shouzheng’s existence.
Compared to these things, Master was more upset that she had kept so many things from her!
“Disciple is at fault.”
Xiao Xiyue did not defend herself, bowing to admit her mistake.
After entering the Caiyun lineage, Master Yun Wanchang guided her into the Dao, taught her cultivation, and was both a teacher and a mother to her.
Yet, she had hidden many things from her Master, and even regarding her martial nephew Lu Shouzheng, her first thought was to inform Lu Changsheng, not to report to her Master.
“You take Shou Zheng out first.”
Yun Wanchang looked at Xiao Xiyue and said, her calm, indifferent voice filled with undeniable authority.
“Master…” Xiao Xiyue’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, realizing that Master might make a move on Lu Changsheng.
“Xiyue, you take Shou Zheng out.”
Lu Changsheng raised his hand and stood in front of her, saying that he would never let his wife and child stand in front of him.
“Be obedient.”
Lu Changsheng had anticipated Yun Wanchang’s anger when he came this time.
After all, after a trip out, one of her two Disciples had a child, and the other had kept everything from her; it would be problematic if she didn’t get angry in such a situation.
But he brought Xiao Xiyue and Lu Shouzheng here with no intention of using them as a shield.
Xiao Xiyue hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then led Lu Shouzheng out of the main hall.
“Boom!”
The moment they stepped out, the hall doors slammed shut.
Immediately after, Xiao Xiyue felt a surge of magical power, like a vast ocean.
Although Master tried her best to suppress it, preventing the magical power from leaking out of the main hall.
However, the faint magical power still made her feel an unparalleled danger, and she looked at the main hall with worry.
“Martial Aunt, will my father be alright?”
Although Lu Shouzheng was young, he had been precocious since childhood and realized the atmosphere in the hall was not right.
He knew that Grandmaster should be angry about his mother and father’s affair.
“Don’t worry.”
Xiao Xiyue said softly, but deep in her beautiful eyes, there was some worry.
Inside Caiyun Hall.
Lu Changsheng allowed Yun Wanchang’s magical power, like a tidal wave, to strike him, causing him to stagger backward, his qi and blood churning.
“Lu Changsheng, are you very proud now!”
Yun Wanchang’s colorful palace dress fluttered as she coldly stared at Lu Changsheng, her faint Nascent Soul prestige, like a tide, filled the entire hall, making it difficult to breathe.
“No.”
Lu Changsheng said with a bitter smile.
From a man’s perspective, such a matter might bring some pride.
But for Yun Wanchang, the person involved, it was absolutely not the case.
Gazing at the elegant and stunning Yun Wanchang in front of him, Lu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, “It is truly my great fortune, accumulated over several lifetimes, to have gained the deep affection of Caiyun, Xiyue, and Qingyi simultaneously. I am indeed somewhat proud.”
“But I also know that this matter will cause you all to suffer grievances…”
Before Lu Changsheng could finish, Yun Wanchang coldly interrupted, “Stop your flowery words. Did you know about Shou Zheng’s matter long ago?”
“I only learned about Shou Zheng’s matter after I returned, so after I finished handling Lu family affairs, I immediately brought him to see you, hoping to give them, mother and son, a proper status.”
Although Lu Changsheng had long known about his son Lu Shouzheng through the System, he felt that this matter would only make Yun Wanchang even angrier, so he chose a white lie.
Moreover, if it weren’t for the System, he would have no way of knowing about this matter.
“Heh heh, status?”
Yun Wanchang sneered, a hint of mockery on her face, saying, “Is it your status as Immortal Master Changsheng, or Immortal Master Yang Ming, or perhaps Great Dream City Lord?”
She wasn’t sure if Lu Changsheng knew about Lu Shouzheng.
But she knew that since Chu Qingyi was willing to give birth to Lu Shouzheng, it meant her feelings were deep, and there was no point in her saying anything more about it.
It was just that in these past few days, she had finally managed to calm her emotions, thinking about how to handle her relationship with Lu Changsheng.
Yet, she found that her eldest Disciple also had a child with Lu Changsheng.
And both Master and Disciple had kept it from her, their Master!
Xiao Xiyue was one thing.
But Chu Qingyi was someone she had raised and nurtured since childhood!
“Naturally, it is I, Lu Changsheng.”
Lu Changsheng said with a bitter smile.
His son, Lu Shouzheng, was already at Bihu Mountain; how could he possibly use other identities? It wouldn’t be convenient.
“Easier said than done.”
Yun Wanchang said with a cold expression, “By what virtue or ability can your Immortal Master Changsheng marry two of my Disciples?”
“Master and Disciple marrying the same man? Marrying you, Lu Changsheng? How will the outside world view my Qingyun Sect, view me, Yun Wanchang, afterwards!”
Lu Changsheng understood her meaning.
His identity as Bi Hu Mountain Lord was not enough.
Indeed, when he and Xiao Xiyue became Dao Companions, the outside world always thought he had married above his station.
If he were to marry Chu Qingyi now, causing the Master and Disciple of Caiyun Peak to marry the same man, the outside world would probably think both women were insane.
Especially since Yun Wanchang had broken through to Nascent Soul and attained the rank of True Lord, Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi’s status also rose.
If the two Master and Disciple married a Core Formation clan Cultivator, not only would the two of them be ridiculed, but even Yun Wanchang and the entire Qingyun Sect would be ridiculed.
“In a few days, I will attempt to break through to Nascent Soul.”
Lu Changsheng said frankly, preparing to, after breaking through to Nascent Soul, according to his early plans, assume the identity of a reincarnated legendary Great Cultivator.
“Break through to Nascent Soul?”
Yun Wanchang naturally knew that Lu Changsheng could attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm at any time.
If it weren’t for her, he might have already broken through to Nascent Soul.
However, through their interactions over the years, she generally understood Lu Changsheng’s future development strategy.
Bihu Mountain would remain hidden, while he would operate openly under other identities.
So now, hearing that he was willing to reveal his identity for her Disciple, her anger dissipated somewhat, and she felt that this man had some sense of responsibility.
“When do you plan to break through to Nascent Soul?”
Yun Wanchang asked Lu Changsheng.
“When the child in your womb is born.”
Lu Changsheng said honestly.
“Lu Changsheng, you!!!”
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanchang’s face instantly turned ashen, thinking Lu Changsheng was reminding her that all three of them—Master and two disciples—were pregnant with his children.
In an instant, within the main hall, the surging, ocean-like power churned like a tsunami, like layers of terrifying waves crashing onto Lu Changsheng.
At this moment, even Xiao Xiyue outside the hall sensed it and wanted to enter to check the situation.
Not only her, but other Cultivators on Caiyun Peak also felt a terrifying pressure at this moment, their hearts trembling, not knowing what was happening.
Lu Changsheng instantly realized he had said the wrong thing.
Yun Wanchang was already furious about her two Disciples being pregnant with his children, and now he brought up the child in her womb again.
Wasn’t this adding fuel to the fire?
With a Fourth-Order physique and a Chaos Body, this level of power naturally couldn’t harm him.
But in the current situation, to appease her, he let the magical power strike his body, explaining, “Caiyun, I didn’t mean anything else. I was just thinking that once Yunxiao is born, I can then focus on breaking through to Nascent Soul without any worries.”
“Moreover, I’m preparing to break through to a Great Dao Nascent Soul, and I’d like to ask for your help.”
Although Lu Changsheng felt that he didn’t need Yun Wanchang’s help to break through to Nascent Soul.
But according to his understanding, with Yun Wanchang’s strong personality, owing him so much, she must be under immense pressure.
At this moment, asking for her help would not only give her a sense of being needed but also help her relieve some of that pressure.
Furthermore, the other party had broken through to Nascent Soul, and her Tongyu Fengsui Body was perfectly compatible with his Dao foundation. Helping her break through using the Sun Moon Reincarnation Art at this time might bring an unexpected surprise.
“Great Dao Nascent Soul?”
Yun Wanchang frowned slightly upon hearing this, as she had never heard of it.
“This is just a conjecture of mine; one step further than the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul is the Great Dao Nascent Soul.”
Lu Changsheng, seemingly under immense pressure from Yun Wanchang’s aura, struggled to breathe, explaining breathlessly.
After speaking, he looked sincere and earnestly pleaded, “So, I need your help, Caiyun.”
“Above Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, Great Dao Nascent Soul?”
Yun Wanchang was stunned by Lu Changsheng’s words.
She was not only surprised by the concept of something beyond Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, but also by the so-called “Great Dao Nascent Soul.”
Even more surprising was that Lu Changsheng wanted to break through to such a supreme Nascent Soul.
After all, during her previous Breakthrough, she had attempted the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, enduring the Heavenly Tribulation’s baptism with her Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
She deeply understood that even with ample preparation and a Nascent Soul Spirit Treasure to protect her Spirit Body, she had barely managed to step into the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, merely a half-step or the lowest grade of Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.
Yet, Lu Changsheng actually wanted to take another step beyond the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul. What level would that require him to reach?
To extract Heavenly Dao Qi from the nine Heavenly Tribulations?
“Are you confident?” Yun Wanchang asked, feeling that this matter was no joke.
“Caiyun, are you concerned about me?”
Lu Changsheng grinned.
However, as soon as he spoke, he was met with a heavy blow, causing him to stagger backward, his aura unstable.
Lu Changsheng secretly thought, should he release the Sanbao Avatar and slap her to death to vent her anger?
Anyway, as long as the Three Treasures Avatar Pearl wasn’t shattered, it wasn’t a problem.
“Just an attempt.”
Lu Changsheng coughed a few times, saying with a bitter smile.
The Great Dao Nascent Soul was merely his conjecture; even Honglian had never heard of it.
“Stop pretending.”
Yun Wanchang’s surging Nascent Soul aura stabilized slightly, knowing that Lu Changsheng possessed a Fourth-Order physique and could even slay a Fourth-Order Demon King like the Fissure Wind Beast. If she were to act now, she might not even be his match.
She re-seated herself, saying with graceful dignity, “A few days ago, Sword Saint Monarch came to Qingyun Sect.”
Lu Changsheng realized that Yun Wanchang mentioning this matter to him was definitely not an ordinary visit, and immediately asked with concern, “Did Sword Saint Monarch come to see you? Was there something important?”
“It was nothing more than wanting to know why I broke through to Nascent Soul so quickly.”
Yun Wanchang said calmly and indifferently, her clear voice filled with the authority of a superior.
Although Qingyun Sect and Heaven Sword Sect had a good relationship in the early years.
Her Breakthrough to Nascent Soul would naturally break the previous relationship and invite apprehension.
“At that time, I had just refined the Great Luo Sword Embryo into my body, and my aura was unstable. Sword Saint Monarch sensed the Great Luo Sword Embryo and Yunxiao.”
Yun Wanchang continued, her unadorned, exquisite face captivating, like a beautiful divine woman who had strayed into the mortal world.
Even she was tempted by a supreme sword treasure like the Great Luo Sword Embryo, let alone a Sword Cultivator like Sword Saint Monarch.
“Hmm!?”
Lu Changsheng’s expression slightly hardened, realizing the importance of the problem.
Although Yun Wanchang concealed her pregnancy, and the sword embryo’s aura could deceive Core Formation cultivators, it would be difficult to hide it from a Nascent Soul True Lord.
Especially a Sword Cultivator like Sword Saint Monarch; they were incredibly sensitive to Sword Qi and Sword Intent.
It would be troublesome if Heaven Sword Sect coveted the Great Luo Sword Embryo.
“So my explanation was that I broke through to Nascent Soul with the help of Yunxiao’s father. He still has matters to attend to, so he hasn’t come to Jiang Country yet, but he will come to visit Yunxiao someday.”
Yun Wanchang gently stroked her lower abdomen with her jade hand, continuing, “And this Sword Qi is the accompanying Spirit Treasure gifted by his father.”
After speaking, her eyes, shimmering with light and color as if containing the flow of galaxies, looked at Lu Changsheng and said, “So, when you come to Qingyun Sect to visit Yunxiao in the future, you can use this identity: Kirin Sword Lord.”
“On ordinary days, if you have matters to handle, you can also use this identity.”
Kirin Sword Lord was the Dao name Yun Wanchang had fabricated for Lu Changsheng.
On one hand, the Qilin, like the legendary True Dragon and Sky Phoenix, belongs to the top True Spirits and is a symbol of auspiciousness in the Cultivation World, which would not disgrace Lu Changsheng.
On the other hand, during their time in the Sealed Demon Ground, both of them consumed Qilin essence blood. She even consumed a drop of Qilin bone marrow when breaking through to Nascent Soul.
This drop of Qilin bone marrow brought her a transformative baptism, and her body also carried a hint of Qilin auspicious qi, hence the use of “Kirin” in the name.
As for Sword Lord, there was no need for much explanation; someone who could give their child a top-tier sword artifact as a born Spirit Treasure was naturally extraordinary.
And during their time in the Eternal Night Land, she saw Lu Changsheng constantly using the sword Dao, guessing that he should be proficient in the sword Dao.
???
However, Lu Changsheng heard another layer of meaning in Yun Wanchang’s words.
The child’s father was called Kirin Sword Lord.
If he wanted to see the child, he should use this identity to come to Qingyun Sect, Caiyun Peak.
As for Bi Hu Mountain Lord, Immortal Master Yang Ming, Great Dream City Lord, she didn’t recognize them.
“One day, Immortal Master Yang Ming will be Immortal Master Changsheng, and Great Dream City Lord will also be Immortal Master Changsheng. So, what about Kirin Sword Lord?”
It is said that anger harms the body. Yun Wanchang was still pregnant with a child, so Lu Changsheng tried to be as tactful and coaxing as possible.
Mainly, he did feel guilty when facing Yun Wanchang and felt that he was in the wrong.
“What, Mountain Lord Lu, do you still wish for me, Yun Wanchang, and my Disciples to serve one husband? For Master and Disciple to become sisters?”
Yun Wanchang’s face carried a faint hint of mockery and self-deprecation.
Although she had already gone through it during the Heart Demon tribulation, facing the three of them—Master and two disciples—together… it was still difficult to accept.
“I know this is wrong…”
Lu Changsheng sighed softly, then stood tall, his eyes directly meeting Yun Wanchang’s, and said, “But years ago, I already said that I am a very greedy person. One day, I will ascend to the peak of Qingyun and embrace Caiyun.”
“Now, I’m not just content with that. I want to embrace Caiyun, pluck the bright moon, and cross Qingyi; I want all three to be embraced!”
Lu Changsheng spoke slowly, without releasing any qi, magical power, or aura.
“Lu Changsheng, do you really think you have me cornered!?”
Yun Wanchang’s face was ashen, her magical power surging.
Using the identity of Kirin Sword Lord was already the compromise she had thought of.
But Lu Changsheng wanted all three of them—Master and disciples—together… How could she not be angry!
“Immortal Master, I’ve long considered that this would bring many insults, so I won’t force you. It’s just as I said, I’m very greedy, and I don’t like false identities one by one.”
Lu Changsheng said calmly and seriously, “If Nascent Soul isn’t enough, then it’s Great Nascent Soul True Lord; if Great Nascent Soul True Lord isn’t enough, then it’s True Venerable Transformation God, Immortal Ascension!”
“The cultivation of the world is all for Immortal Ascension and attaining the Dao. If one day I become an Immortal, what does it represent for the Dao!”
“I know these words are arrogant, like nonsense, but this is Lu Changsheng’s sincere intention, ambition, and determination!”
Old Ancestor Lu’s handsome face was filled with seriousness and earnestness, devoid of his usual playfulness or the gentle, soft lines of a refined gentleman, which now seemed slightly tougher.
He paused, gazing at Yun Wanchang’s beautiful eyes, which shimmered with brilliance, grace, nobility, and majesty, and said, “So, what procedures are required for Bihu Mountain Lu Changsheng to marry Caiyun Zhenjun?”
Yun Wanchang looked at the earnest, deep-eyed, and tall Lu Changsheng before her, who resembled an ancient towering tree, as profound as a deep pool and as stable as a mountain. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
She hadn’t expected him to set such a grand ambition for her sake.
If Nascent Soul isn’t enough, then a Great Nascent Soul True Lord!
If a Great Nascent Soul True Lord isn’t enough, then a True Venerable Transformation God, or even Immortal Ascension!
Regardless of whether Lu Changsheng was putting on an act, it had to be said that his current demeanor was very charming.
Compared to the normally jovial Lu Changsheng, who showed no arrogance in front of his wives and concubines, she preferred the current Lu Changsheng, standing proudly with a solemn expression.
Moreover, facing such seemingly delusional words, an indescribable stirring surged in her heart.
She felt that the latter was not empty talk and might even be achievable.
Just based on the fact that a hundred years ago, he was still a Qi Refining youth.
Just based on him saying the words “Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul”!
Just based on him being willing to give up the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul Opportunity for her, bestowing many Opportunities upon her.
In the Eternal Night Land and the Forbidden Sea, he had already proven his intentions.
“In that case, wait until your Bihu Mountain Lu Family’s name shakes the Nanhua Cultivation World, and you, Immortal Master Chang Sheng, become one of the top Cultivators in Nanhua!”
Since Lu Changsheng asked her to set the terms, Yun Wanchang did not make it difficult for him, nor did she mention Immortal Ascension or the illusory True Venerable Transformation God.
Just one requirement: become one of the top Cultivators in Nanhua!
Yun Wanchang had always felt a sense of pity and disappointment towards Lu Changsheng, like iron that couldn’t be forged into steel.
She felt that he had unparalleled talent and immense luck, possibly a Reincarnation of a mighty being, yet he was squandering his talent.
Since that was the case, she would set a goal for him to see if he could quickly reach that step.
As for marrying him once he reached that step, what was the harm?
After all, Jiang Country was merely a corner of Nanhua. Even if she broke through to Nascent Soul and could leave Jiang Country, her fame might spread throughout the Southern Wilderness Northern Region, but compared to the entire Nanhua Cultivation World, it was nothing.
Over tens of thousands of years, how many Prodigies and heroes, peerless Prodigies, had appeared in the Nanhua Cultivation World? How many of them could reach the peak of Nanhua and become top Cultivators?
If Lu Changsheng reached that step, it would even be considered her climbing up the social ladder.
“Good!”
Lu Changsheng agreed without hesitation, then declared loudly, “When that day comes, I will surely hold a grand ceremony, covering you with all the glory of the entire Nanhua!”
Yun Wanchang was startled.
She thought, ‘Fate truly plays tricks on people.’
If not for this person, she might never find a suitable partner in the entire Cultivation World.
Swallowing the words “I await that day,” Yun Wanchang said with a beautiful and noble expression, “Regarding the marriage to Qingyi, if you wish to maintain the current situation, after breaking through to Nascent Soul, go to the Yue Country battlefield and kill one or two Late Stage Core Formation cultivators.”
Currently, Immortal Master Chang Sheng of Bihu Mountain was simply not worthy of marrying the two Core Formation True Persons of Qingyun Sect, let alone her Disciple.
However, if he possessed the strength of a Late Stage Core Formation cultivator, displayed unparalleled talent, potential, and combat power, and met her by chance, he would barely qualify.
As for Chu Qingyi’s opinion…
They already had a child; was there still a need to ask?
“Thank you, Caiyun.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng thought that his Master before him was merely a little soft-hearted, and he wanted to approach her to check on the child nurtured by the Sword Embryo.
“What are you doing?”
Yun Wanchang saw Lu Changsheng approaching with a tender expression and immediately frowned, saying.
“Just checking on our child.”
Lu Changsheng said as a matter of course.
They had just finished discussing Lu Changsheng and his Disciple Chu Qingyi’s matters, and Xiao Xiyue and Lu Shou Zheng were still outside. What would it look like for them to be intimate now?
Yun Wanchang immediately flicked her sleeve, pushing Lu Changsheng away, and said expressionlessly, “I said, the child’s father is named Kirin Sword Lord!”
“Alright, alright, I am Kirin Sword Lord.”
Lu Changsheng said helplessly, thinking that these women’s minds were abnormal.
But since she was the child’s mother, he was willing to play along with her role-playing.
“You haven’t broken through to Nascent Soul yet,” Yun Wanchang said.
“???”
No, does not breaking through to Nascent Soul mean he doesn’t even have the right to see his child?
Lu Changsheng was speechless, pointing at Yun Wanchang’s lower abdomen, and said, “By the time I break through to Nascent Soul, he’ll already be born.”
“Then see him after he’s born,” Yun Wanchang continued to say expressionlessly.
“After he’s born, I still won’t have broken through to Nascent Soul, so won’t I still be unable to see him?”
“Besides, every stage of a child is different. He’s currently in the fetal stage. If I, as a father, don’t see him now, I’ll miss this stage and won’t have another chance…”
Lu Changsheng said with a serious and hopeful expression.
Yun Wanchang found it amusing to see Lu Changsheng’s sincere and affectionate expression.
This little thief seemed to care a lot about the child in her belly?
At this moment, she even felt a sense of wielding the emperor to command the vassals.
“Then use your Divine Sense to look.”
Yun Wanchang suppressed the playful thoughts in her heart and continued to speak coldly.
“Damn it, this woman is truly stubborn!”
Lu Changsheng was very speechless and continued to persuade her, saying that looking with Divine Sense had no feeling, that if he didn’t see the child now, his thoughts would be blocked, and he would even be unable to focus on cultivation, and that the child should best sense his aura.
Under Lu Changsheng’s endless nonsense, Yun Wanchang said with a look of disdain, “If you want to see, hurry up.”
Lu Changsheng immediately leaned in with a joyful expression, smelling Yun Wanchang’s rich fragrance, and pressed his head against her lower abdomen.
He first sensed the Sword Dao Origin Qi emanating from the Great Luo Sword Embryo, and then felt the Sword Dao Origin slowly nourishing Lu Yunxiao, who was still a fetus.
Not only that, he also saw a faint Qilin phantom vaguely enveloping his son, seemingly protecting him.
Lu Changsheng knew that this was the Qilin bone marrow left over from Yun Wanchang’s Undergoing Tribulation, all used to nourish this son.
In addition, Yun Wanchang’s magic power also enveloped Lu Yunxiao, constantly warming her son, to prevent him from being harmed by the Origin overflowing from the Sword Embryo.
Feeling the surging vital Qi filling his son’s body, Lu Changsheng suspected that when this son was born, he would be like his daughter Lu Baixi, whose Physical Body would be like a Yao Beast cub from birth, accumulating a profound foundation.
“How long do you intend to look?”
Yun Wanchang saw Lu Changsheng pressing his head against her lower abdomen, and his right hand gradually wrapped around her waist. She immediately rebuked him, pushing him away, and then motioned for him to leave.
“I just want to spend more time with the child,” Lu Changsheng said helplessly.
“Don’t you have hundreds at home? Haven’t you spent enough time with them?”
Yun Wanchang said with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
This was what she was most displeased about with Lu Changsheng.
Are you a stud pig? Spreading your offspring everywhere.
Lu Changsheng was speechless and choked, thinking, “Can you even hold a conversation? This easily kills the topic.”
He wanted to say that this was her child, so he wanted to spend more time with him, but then he thought that Yun Wanchang wouldn’t buy that, so he could only nod helplessly.
“Alright, you go back. When Yunxiao is born, I will notify you and help you break through to Nascent Soul.”
Yun Wanchang said indifferently, “Xiao Xiyue and Lu Shou Zheng will remain on Caiyun Peak. I have matters to discuss with them.”
Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he explained on behalf of Xiao Xiyue, “Regarding Shou Zheng’s matter, Xiao Xiyue didn’t intentionally hide it from you. She was thinking that I hadn’t returned at the time, and you might be angry…”
“You don’t need to explain for her!” Yun Wanchang said with a cold expression.
As a Master, how could she not be angry about Xiao Xiyue’s constant concealment of matters?
“Then I can at least watch from the side, right?” Lu Changsheng was very uneasy about this.
“No,” Yun Wanchang said.
“Xiao Xiyue is my wife after all. I can’t even watch? And this matter…”
Knowing that Yun Wanchang before him wasn’t as cold as she appeared, Lu Changsheng continued to persuade her.
“Aren’t you annoying!” Yun Wanchang said somewhat impatiently.
“Then I’ll wait outside, alright?” Lu Changsheng chose to take another step back.
As soon as he spoke, the Caiyun Hall door “boomed” open, and Yun Wanchang called Xiao Xiyue and Lu Shou Zheng inside.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng was fine, just with some disordered Qi and magic power, Xiao Xiyue felt relieved.
But seeing Lu Changsheng having been so close to Master earlier, Xiao Xiyue’s heart skipped a beat again, secretly thinking if Master and husband had done anything in the hall?
Xiao Xiyue immediately fully activated the Supreme Emotion Severing Art to suppress her thoughts.
Ever since she heard Lu Changsheng recount the events with Master, which shattered Yun Wanchang’s lofty image in her heart, and knowing Lu Changsheng’s character, she couldn’t help but overthink.
“You, go out,” Yun Wanchang looked at Lu Changsheng, who was standing to the side.
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly at Xiao Xiyue, indicating that he was fine, and walked out of Caiyun Hall.
Seeing the hall door close, he tried to use his Divine Soul to peek into the situation inside the hall.
After all, the Formation Restriction of the Caiyun Hall couldn’t stop his Nascent Soul-level Taiyi Divine Soul at all.
“Try to eavesdrop!”
However, Yun Wanchang’s voice immediately rang out.
Then she added, “And that mirror of yours!”
Although Lu Changsheng didn’t bring the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror, Yun Wanchang had seen this mirror and knew its effects and abilities, which were almost impossible to guard against.
“Sigh,” Lu Changsheng wasn’t confident that his Divine Sense could completely hide from Yun Wanchang, so he could only honestly wait outside.
About half an hour later, the hall door boomed open, and Xiao Xiyue walked out with Lu Shou Zheng, stating that she wouldn’t be returning to Bihu Mountain for now and would cultivate and help handle affairs at Qingyun Sect during this period.
For instance, during this time, Yun Wanchang had been in seclusion, so her Disciple should have been the spokesperson for Caiyun Peak, but she had been at Bihu Mountain all this time, which was simply improper.
As for Lu Shou Zheng, Yun Wanchang also indicated that he should cultivate on Caiyun Peak and not return to Bihu Mountain.
Lu Changsheng immediately became displeased. In what way was his Bihu Mountain inferior to Qingyun Sect? The conditions he could provide for Lu Shou Zheng far surpassed Qingyun Sect.
“Father, your son is willing to cultivate on Caiyun Peak.”
However, Lu Shou Zheng bowed to Lu Changsheng.
This was where he was born and where his memories began; he still preferred it here.
Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment upon hearing this.
He knew that his dereliction of duty towards this son had caused him to prefer his mother Chu Qingyi’s side.
“Alright, Bihu Mountain will always be your home. You can send messages or write letters if anything happens,” Lu Changsheng said, not forcing him, and planned to visit this son with Chu Qingyi later.
“Thank you, Father.”
Although the young-faced Lu Shou Zheng was not very close to his father Lu Changsheng, his manners were always impeccable, and he bowed respectfully.
“Mm,” Lu Changsheng patted his son’s head, chatted with Xiao Xiyue for a moment, then left Qingyun Sect and returned to his Bihu Mountain.
Half a month later.
Seeing that there wasn’t much happening at home, Lu Changsheng informed his wife Lu Miaohuan that he would be going to Yue Country in a few days, and then he went to Yanyu Market to visit his two concubines there.
Over the past decade or so, Yanlan and Yu Fei had seen the Thousand-Faced Fox Puppet transformed into Lu Changsheng at Bihu Mountain.
But the latter hadn’t touched them for over ten years, and they even thought he had grown tired of them, so the two sisters comforted each other.
Facing this situation, Old Ancestor Lu also brought them to relive the ultimate joy of men and women.
The position of market Master had long since passed from them to their children, Lu Yanyu and Lu Yanming.
Lu Changsheng watched them respectfully and reverently call out to him, giving each of them some Medicinal Pills and resources, and guiding their cultivation.
After staying for half a month, Lu Changsheng returned to Bihu Mountain, gave a few instructions to Lu Miaoyun, Lu Ping’an, Lu Quanzhen, and others, then took his wife Lu Miaohuan and daughter Lu Qingqi to Yue Country.
En route, Lu Changsheng passed through Qingluan Immortal City.
Qingluan True Monarch had been missing for over twenty years, and this Holy Land Immortal City of Loose Cultivators had inevitably declined.
However, in recent years, with the escalation of the Liang Yue War, this Immortal City, as an important barrier between Jiang Country and Yue Country, had been taken over by Heaven Sword Sect Cultivators.
Perhaps considering that Qingluan True Monarch had only disappeared and not fallen, Heaven Sword Sect did not carry out any purges when taking over the Immortal City and continued to reuse the previous talents.
And his son, Lu Qingxuan, who had been here all along, also became one of the more influential supervisors here.
Lu Changsheng chatted with his son, listening to the situation of Qingluan Immortal City over the years, and couldn’t help but think of Qingluan True Monarch again.
“Xuan’er, you should still focus primarily on cultivation now. You don’t need to worry too much about the situation here in Qingluan Immortal City, or you can go to Great Dream Immortal City.”
The trip to Star Constellation Sea, and returning after more than ten years, resulted in Lu Changsheng being unable to care for many of his children.
“Father, please rest assured, your son is fine. However, I heard about the family…”
Lu Qingxuan had been in Qingluan Immortal City for a long time, and information and intelligence were very convenient for him; he knew about the family’s situation.
Moreover, a few days ago, Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingqi, and others went out to play with the Golden Winged Roc and also came to visit him, knowing about Lu Changsheng’s return.
“You don’t need to worry about the family…”
Lu Changsheng instructed his son, then glanced at the maid next to his son. He remembered that she seemed to be the maid he had brought early on.
He hadn’t expected this maid to have been with his son all this time and to have even reached Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.
After visiting Lu Qingxuan, Lu Changsheng went to Qingxuan Mountain.
However, Lu Qingxuan and others had all gone to the Yue Country war, and now Qingxuan Mountain only had two Lu Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators stationed there, maintaining business operations.
Lu Changsheng roughly understood the recent situation, encouraged them a few words, then rode the Golden Winged Roc and ventured deep into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
He planned to attempt to break through to Nascent Soul after his son Lu Yunxiao was born.
To break through to Nascent Soul, a Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein was naturally indispensable.
Although he could go to the Five Poison Sect or the Forbidden Sea.
But breaking through at the Five Poison Sect would surely be seen by other Cultivators and Jin Country forces.
At that time, it was very likely to be spread, causing trouble.
Going to the Forbidden Sea, on the other hand, was a bit far, and he worried about encountering the Town Sea Seven Sects or being noticed by the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale.
So Lu Changsheng thought of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and came along to investigate the situation.
If the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was suitable, he would directly attempt to break through to Nascent Soul deep within it.
As for attracting other Demon Kings or beast tides, with the Golden Winged Roc, Tihun Beast, Qian Zhuyan, and Yun Wanchang, Lu Changsheng felt that it wouldn’t be a big problem.
At worst, he would make more preparations at that time, and work with Ling Zixiao to set up a Formation, allowing Yun Wanchang and Honglian to barely activate the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror.
With Fourth-Order divination and the Golden Winged Roc, a Fourth-Order Beast King, Lu Changsheng’s investigation trip was very smooth. By calculating good and bad omens and sensing through the ethereal, he could roughly know the strength of the Demon Kings in the current area.
In just one month, Lu Changsheng had a general understanding of the situation in this part of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and found several spiritual lands suitable for his Breakthrough.
It could only be said that having multiple Nascent Soul-level combat power Protectors, a Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein was not a harsh condition for a Core Formation cultivator breaking through to Nascent Soul.
Just like a Qi Refining Cultivator with a Foundation Establishment elder, a Second-Order Spiritual Vein, or even a Foundation Establishment Pill, the difficulty of obtaining them would be much simpler and easier.
After inspecting the Fourth-Order spiritual lands, Lu Changsheng took his wife and daughter across the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and arrived in Yue Country.
