Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family

Chapter 822: New magical power, the test of Xingxiu Sea! (Two in one

Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s lair.

“It seems that even if I master these Nine Great Divine Abilities again, they will be almost half-废, turning into ordinary Divine Abilities.”

Lu Changsheng, with the help of his Nascent Soul Spirit Body and the faint Qi remaining from the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone in his chest, had a thorough understanding of the mysteries of the Nine Great Divine Abilities.

Now, the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone was depleted and shattered, and the origin of the heavenly spiritual treasure it contained was almost exhausted.

Even if he were to master the Nine Great Divine Abilities again, he would not be able to use them without cost as he did in earlier years, displaying power far beyond his current strength.

They might even be inferior to the Divine Abilities and techniques he Cultivated from the “Yin Yang Creation Scripture” and “Vatican Devil True Saint Art.”

“However, Yin and Yang exist in heaven and earth, and all things mutually generate and overcome each other. This breastbone of mine was merely a mortal bone in earlier years, becoming a Natal Treasure Bone only by relying on the “Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique” and the nine treasures jade ruyi.”

“Now, although the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone is shattered and broken, with its heavenly spiritual treasure essence lost, if I nourish it with rare Heaven And Earth Treasure and divine essence, it may not be impossible for it to regenerate.”

“Once it regenerates, achieving Nirvana on the original foundation of this bone, it might even advance further, shaking the past and present.”

Lu Changsheng murmured softly to himself.

Although the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone was an external object.

Yet, accompanying his hundred years of Cultivation and growth, this bone had long since integrated into his Physical Body, becoming a part of his body.

Now, depleted and broken, it was like a withered plant, but it might still be able to rejuvenate amidst destruction.

Lu Changsheng quietly comprehended the Nine Great Divine Abilities of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone.

Not to master them all.

But to transform the insights from these Divine Abilities and the residual Qi of the breastbone into a seed.

This way, if he wished, he could spend time, effort, and Heaven And Earth Treasure in the future to attempt the Nirvana Rebirth of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone.

Doing so would not only offer the prospect of regaining the Divine Ability power of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone.

In the future, when breaking through to Soul Transformation, if there was a Heavenly Tribulation, he could also use his Natal Treasure Bone as a trump card, similar to this Heavenly Tribulation.

Lu Changsheng even felt that this breakthrough method could be written as Nascent Soul insights and placed in his family’s library.

In the future, when his sons Lu Ping’an, Lu Quanzhen, Lu Qingshan, and others needed to undergo the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, they could all attempt to condense Spirit Treasure into Natal Treasure Bones.

Then, with the help of the Heavenly Tribulation’s power, the Heavenly Dao’s bestowal, and the Natal Treasure Bone, they could temper themselves and enhance their Foundation and reserves.

Although it was very expensive and the conditions were harsh, its effectiveness could not be denied.

One must know how many Cultivators racked their brains to increase their breakthrough probability by one or two tenths.

“This is the Family’s Legacy. With the paths and insights painstakingly explored by predecessors, it allows future generations to avoid many detours.”

Lu Changsheng had never lacked Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, or Nascent Soul insights throughout his Cultivation journey.

However, Core Formation and Nascent Soul insights were extremely rare in the outside world.

Many Cultivators nearing a Breakthrough would spare no expense, spending resources and money to acquire a breakthrough insight.

Just to maximize the probability of breakthrough.

This was one of the benefits of having a Family power.

With him as the Old Ancestor, all Lu Clan disciples would not have to worry about breakthrough insights.

Although his path and insights might be there, no one could replicate them.

Although Lu Changsheng’s Comprehension Ability was quite ordinary in his early years.

However, relying on the knowledge accumulation from numerous top-tier Cultivation Techniques, and possessing a Chaos Body and a Nascent Soul-level Taiyi Divine Soul, his Comprehension Ability and understanding had already risen to an astonishing level.

Especially the Nine Great Divine Abilities of the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone, which had been his Natal Divine Abilities in his early years, so re-mastering them was not difficult for him.

In less than half a month, he had roughly mastered the mysteries of the Nine Great Divine Abilities.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng began to carefully examine his own situation.

Compared to the Golden Core Realm, his Physical Body, magic power, and Divine Sense had all received tremendous improvements.

His Physical Body reached the critical point of the Fourth-Order Early Stage, and he could Breakthrough at any time if he wished.

Although his magic power had just broken through to Nascent Soul, it was vast and boundless, incredibly profound, and he even had a feeling of being about to Breakthrough to the second layer of Nascent Soul.

In terms of Divine Sense, relying on his Taiyi Divine Soul, his Divine Soul had already reached the Nascent Soul-level when he broke through to the seventh layer of Core Formation.

Although the effect of the Taiyi Soul Body was quite ordinary once he reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

However, relying on his own Yin-Yang Myriad Laws Nascent Soul, Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense was already comparable to some Cultivators in the Nascent Soul middle stage.

This was truly astonishing.

One must know that at the Nascent Soul level, each layer was almost an insurmountable chasm.

The difficulty for a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul middle stage was far greater than that for Foundation Establishment or Core Formation.

Many Prodigies who were exceptionally talented in their early years might remain stuck at the Nascent Soul Early Stage for their entire lives after breaking through to Nascent Soul, unable to Breakthrough to the Middle Stage.

From Jiang Country, the surrounding countries, and the Star Constellation Sea, it could also be seen that the Nascent Soul middle stage already belonged to the top-tier Great Cultivator.

And Lu Changsheng, having just broken through to Nascent Soul, possessed Divine Sense comparable to the Nascent Soul middle stage, and his Body Refining could even impact the Fourth-Order Middle Stage, which was simply unheard of.

Once word got out, it would surely shock the entire Nanhua Cultivation World.

However, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh as he sensed his Divine Sense.

The main reason his Divine Sense could reach this level was still due to the Yin-Yang Myriad Laws Nascent Soul.

The assistance provided by the Taiyi Soul Body gradually became limited after his Divine Soul entered the Nascent Soul level.

In his early years, his Divine Soul was far superior to ordinary people, mainly due to the [Taiyi Soul Body], in addition to his strong Foundation.

Now, the Taiyi Divine Soul’s effect was not very helpful to him, and he usually did not spend time Cultivating his Divine Sense.

If this continued, when his Cultivation advanced further, his Divine Soul would be caught up to, or even become a weakness.

“It seems I’ll have to collect more Heaven And Earth Treasure that can enhance the Divine Soul in the future.”

Lu Changsheng mused, knowing that relying solely on arduous Cultivation would not work.

Immediately after, he looked at the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, which had transformed into his second Dantian.

At this very moment, the effect of this second Dantian finally manifested.

In earlier years, as a Core Formation cultivator, using this Fourth-Order Top-Grade Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus as a second Dantian was simply a waste of Heaven And Earth Treasure, as he couldn’t fully unleash its effects.

Now that he had broken through to Nascent Soul, even if he couldn’t fully display the effects of the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, it was far beyond what it was before.

“With the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus as my second Dantian, I can now freely activate Medium Grade Spirit Treasure without worrying about insufficient magic power.”

“Even High Grade Spirit Treasure like the Mi Chen Banner, and even the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror, can be barely activated without needing to burn Top-Grade Spirit Stone anymore.”

In earlier years, Lu Changsheng possessed supreme treasures but was limited by his strength, making them difficult to use.

For example, the Mi Chen Banner.

It could clearly travel quickly between Bihu Mountain and Great Dream Immortal City, but his Cultivation was insufficient, and his magic power couldn’t sustain it, so he could only activate it by burning Spirit Stone or the Origin of a Spiritual Vein.

But now, for distances like between Bihu Mountain and Great Dream Immortal City, with the sub-banner as an anchor, he could achieve it with his own magic power!

As for the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror, the activation conditions were even more stringent.

It had to rely on Top-Grade Spirit Stone to unleash a Nascent Soul-level Sun Profound Light or Taiyin Profound Light.

To further enhance its power, one either had to integrate into a large Formation, use a Spiritual Vein to forcibly activate it, or burn the Origin of a Spirit Treasure.

Lu Changsheng was already poor and didn’t have many Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

The Top-Grade Spirit Stone he painstakingly acquired were all used to activate the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror.

As a result, there were no extra Top-Grade Spirit Stone for Qian Zhuyan to use as Puppet energy to create new Four-Rank Puppet.

Now that he had broken through to Nascent Soul and possessed the [Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus], he could directly unleash Sun Profound Light or Taiyin Profound Light without burning Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

Although it still only activated a fraction of its power, at least it could be used!

“It’s just that the Nascent Soul Divine Ability is a bit troublesome.”

The “Yin Yang Creation Scripture” that Lu Changsheng Cultivated, as a True Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique, had corresponding Divine Abilities for each Realm.

Now that he had broken through to Nascent Soul, he naturally possessed new Divine Ability methods!

Yin-Yang Life-Death Boundary!

Yin-Yang Two Worlds Escape Art!

One Qi Transforms into Yin and Yang!

With the System Legacy, he didn’t need to spend a lot of time comprehending and Cultivating Divine Abilities like most Cultivators.

However, both [Yin-Yang Life-Death Boundary] and [Yin-Yang Two Worlds Escape Art] were based on the domain of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Without a Nascent Soul domain, these two great Divine Abilities could not be used.

Originally, Lu Changsheng, relying on his [Empty Spirit Physique] and [void crystal], had already comprehended the power of the Void Realm and could shatter the void and condense a domain.

It was just that the process was too slow, and he really didn’t have the leisure for it, so he put the matter of upgrading his magic domain to a domain out of his mind.

But now, if he wanted to cast and Cultivate these two great Divine Abilities, he had to upgrade his magic domain to a Nascent Soul domain.

In fact, it wasn’t just these two Divine Abilities.

His previous Divine Abilities like [Yin Yang One Qi Great Capturing Hand] and [Reversing Yin-Yang Glazed Wall] were also affected by spatial power and the Nascent Soul domain.

With a Nascent Soul domain, the power of these Divine Abilities could be further enhanced.

“Yin-Yang Life-Death Boundary, Nascent Soul domain…”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Back in the Goddess Palace, Shen Jianjia had demonstrated this very technique.

At that time, he was detoxifying Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren.

The moment the Great Palace Master appeared, he was directly drawn into her domain, which was terrifying.

If it weren’t for her concern for Shen Baishuang and Shen Yiren, and her not going all out, it would have been almost impossible for him to break through the domain at that time, and he would have had to rely on the [Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror].

Therefore, he absolutely could not neglect Cultivating such a Divine Ability.

Otherwise, if he encountered a Cultivator who used domain Divine Abilities in the future, and he had no domain to contend with, relying solely on his magic power, he would easily fall into a disadvantage.

This was what troubled Lu Changsheng and what he found troublesome.

In his early years, he would directly use Foundation Establishment spells and Core Formation Divine Abilities after mastering them, never spending time Cultivating them.

For example, Core Formation Divine Abilities could be refined and sacrificed later to increase their power, but he had always been too lazy to do so.

However, for Divine Abilities like [Yin-Yang Life-Death Boundary], possessing a domain was merely the prerequisite for initial use.

To display its true power and contend with the domains of other Nascent Soul True Lords, he would still need to spend a lot of time, effort, and Heaven And Earth Treasure to deeply Cultivate and refine it.

This was something Lu Changsheng was very unwilling to do.

If he had the time and patience, his Brahma Demon True Body wouldn’t have only reached Minor Achievement.

Fortunately, the third Great Divine Ability had no prerequisites and could be cast directly.

“Om!”

Lu Changsheng’s thoughts stirred slightly, and a Yin Yang Dao Flower appeared above his head.

Immediately after, a Yin and Yang Origin suddenly flew out from his spiritual root, merging with the Yin Yang Dao Flower.

The Dao Flower slowly bloomed, transforming into a figure identical to Lu Changsheng!

This figure was not only identical in body shape and appearance but also in temperament and aura!

One Qi Transforms into Yin and Yang: Consumes Yin and Yang Origin to manifest a Dao Body identical to oneself.

This Dao Body did not possess Lu Changsheng’s terrifying physique, but it had his identical magical power.

Although there was a time limit, it would dissipate after casting several Divine Abilities at full power.

However, the death or dissipation of the Dao Body would not affect Lu Changsheng’s main body.

If Lu Changsheng suddenly manifested a Dao Body during a battle, it would double his combat power, instantly turning the tide of the battle!

This was a supreme Great Divine Ability that only True Immortal Grade Cultivation Techniques possessed.

Had it not been for the System Legacy, such a supreme profound art would be difficult for even a Nascent Soul True Lord to comprehend and cultivate.

“Om!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Dao Body before him, and his thoughts stirred again.

A snow-white pill flew out from his spiritual root, transforming into a figure identical to him.

It was the Sanbao Avatar!

However, the Sanbao Avatar was merely a Fourth-Order exotic treasure, capable of evolving at most a Golden Core Realm Peak Incarnation.

Now that Lu Changsheng had broken through to Nascent Soul Stage, he could tell at a glance that the Sanbao Avatar before him was fake, judging by its magical power and aura.

But the effect of this Fourth-Order exotic treasure was still undeniable.

As long as the energy of the treasure pearl was not exhausted, it could exist for a long time, even if Lu Changsheng’s main body was not nearby.

As for the Dao Body from One Qi Transforms into Yin and Yang, even if it didn’t exert full power, it would dissipate in about fifteen minutes and could not exist permanently, serving only as a surprise attack or killing move during battle.

However, as his cultivation improved, the duration of the Dao Body’s existence would gradually lengthen.

“Does this count as One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Dao Body and Incarnation before him, finding it quite interesting to control three perspectives at once.

With a slight thought, his Nascent Soul Spirit Body suddenly emerged from his body.

Instantly, his one person with three perspectives became four perspectives.

Lu Changsheng chuckled, and his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, Sanbao Avatar, and Yin Yang Dao Body all returned to his body.

Although the death and dissipation of the Dao Body would not affect Lu Changsheng.

However, casting this Divine Ability consumed a lot of energy and would deplete his Yin and Yang Origin, so it could not be used indefinitely.

After reviewing and experiencing his situation, Lu Changsheng did not rush to break through to Fourth-Order Middle Stage Body Refining.

At the Nascent Soul Stage, any breakthrough would take one or two months.

His current outing to break through to Nascent Soul Stage had already taken a lot of time.

If he delayed any further, Bihu Mountain and Great Dream Immortal City might be in danger.

Especially Great Dream Immortal City!

Just as Lu Changsheng stood up, preparing to leave his nest and call Honglian and the others back, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

“System!”

As he silently recited, Lu Changsheng’s System interface appeared.

[Name: Lu Changsheng]

[Family Members: 14763]

“Only four hundred more years of lifespan, huh.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his lifespan, his eyebrows slightly raised.

The lifespan increase from breaking through to Fourth-Order Body Refining and breaking through to Nascent Soul Stage would not stack.

When he broke through to Fourth-Order Body Refining, his lifespan had already increased by three hundred years.

So now, even with a Chaos Body and a Yin-Yang Myriad Laws Nascent Soul, breaking through to Nascent Soul Stage only increased his lifespan by a little over four hundred years.

However, compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators, this lifespan was already very long.

Other Nascent Soul cultivators, even if they cultivated top-tier longevity Cultivation Techniques, would at most live for twelve hundred years.

Had he not consumed so much lifespan earlier through divination and saving people, Lu Changsheng’s current lifespan might have reached fifteen hundred years, enough to outlive a bunch of Nascent Soul True Lords.

Without looking further, Lu Changsheng walked out of his nest and called out to Honglian and the others waiting outside, indicating that he had broken through to Nascent Soul Stage and intended to return as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Great Dream Immortal City might be in trouble.

“Alright.”

Honglian, Ling Zixiao, and the others nodded immediately upon hearing this, also unwilling to stay in the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range for long.

Then, the few of them simultaneously began to dismantle the Formation flags and Formation tools of the grand Formation here.

Although Honglian could come to this Spiritual Vein to attempt to break through to Nascent Soul Stage in the future.

However, with no one guarding it, the Formation tools left here could easily be destroyed by later Demon Kings.

Moreover, this Spiritual Vein was severely depleted after Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul Stage.

Although it didn’t drop below Fourth-Order, its conditions were only mediocre.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng planned to help Honglian find another Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein in the future that was of higher grade, had better feng shui and Luck, and was more compatible with her Cultivation Technique.

“Honglian, I remember a few Fourth-Order Demon Kings came to cause trouble when I was breaking through to Nascent Soul Stage?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng asked Honglian.

Although he had been immersed in breaking through to Nascent Soul Stage earlier, he had still sensed the aura of Fourth-Order Demon Kings.

Now that he had broken through to Nascent Soul Stage, he also had the idea of testing his skills.

And also to add some “fuel” to the hunting god chariot, a Medium Grade Spirit Treasure.

“Yes, those Demon Kings were forced back by Golden Winged Roc and Fellow Daoist Qian Zhu.”

Honglian nodded gently, guessing that Lu Changsheng might want to hunt a few Demon Kings to refine Nascent Soul Magic Treasure, and said, “Is my husband planning to hunt a few Demon Kings for treasure refining?”

“I’m not sure where those Demon Kings’ nests are. If you want to find them, it might be a bit difficult.”

To provide Lu Changsheng with a safe and quiet environment for his breakthrough, the Golden Winged Roc had almost completely cleared this area.

Therefore, the few Demon Kings who came to cause trouble were all Fourth-Order Beast Kings, making it difficult to know their nests or where they came from.

“If that’s the case, then forget it. Let’s go back first.”

Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this, was unwilling to waste time.

They were currently in the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, far from the Jiang Country Cultivation World.

Even with the Golden Winged Roc for travel, it would take over a month to get back.

If they were to go hunting for a few more Fourth-Order Beast Kings, and something unexpected happened along the way, it would delay them even longer.

“En,” Honglian softly replied.

With Lu Changsheng and the others working together, it took them a day to completely dismantle the grand Formation and store the Formation tools in their storage rings.

This way, when Honglian attempted to break through to Nascent Soul Stage in the future, setting up the grand Formation again would be much simpler, eliminating the need to spend time refining Formation tools, only requiring minor adjustments based on the terrain.

Lu Changsheng did not forget the Jin Gang Vine in the Golden-Fur Unicorn Bear’s nest.

He had brought Lu Miaoge with the ten thousand spirit bottle on this trip.

They had already ripened the Jin Gang Vine’s fruit, the Golden Spirit Fruit, and harvested four Golden Spirit Fruits.

As for transplanting the Jin Gang Vine, although it was very difficult, with the ten thousand spirit bottle, a Fifth-Order exotic treasure, Lu Changsheng had a simple and crude method.

It was to uproot the spiritual plant, then drip a drop of Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew to maintain its vitality, and then plant it as soon as possible.

For ordinary spiritual plants, this approach would certainly not be worth it, wasting Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew.

But for Fourth-Order spiritual plants like the Jin Gang Vine, it was worth it.

After his Nascent Soul Divine Sense extended out and confirmed that there were no omissions, Lu Changsheng and his group rode the Golden Winged Roc back to Jiang Country.

Originally, Lu Changsheng had also thought of finding a few Tier 3 Demon Kings along the way to test the effect of the hunting god chariot.

However, the Tier 3 Demon Kings in the surrounding area were either hunted by the Golden Winged Roc or scared away by it, so he had to completely give up on the idea.

Great Dream Immortal City.

City Lord’s Mansion.

Lu Quanzhen looked at the challenge letter in his hand with a solemn expression.

The Star Constellation Sea’s probing was much more aggressive than he had imagined.

Or rather, these Nascent Soul True Lords did not regard the lives of Core Formation cultivators as important at all.

Previously, several Core Formation cultivators in the depths of the Great Dream Marsh tried to stir up a monster tide, but he strongly deterred them.

However, when he made his move, Lu Quanzhen instinctively felt a sense of danger, as if someone was secretly watching him.

Although he didn’t detect anyone.

But he believed in his many years of cultivation and the dangerous instincts brought by his Kun Peng Physique!

Therefore, after this incident, Lu Quanzhen no longer dared to leave the city.

After all, if the hidden Nascent Soul True Lord discovered his Kunpeng Divine Ability and Kun Peng Physique, the other party might not be wary of Great Dream Immortal City at all.

It was very likely that they would directly attack him and take him away.

At that time, Great Dream Immortal City would be even more dangerous.

Seeing that Great Dream Immortal City had no reaction, the probes against Great Dream Immortal City became more and more frequent and direct in recent days.

Not only did several cultivators come to visit him, the “Great Dream City Lord,” but now even a Core Formation cultivator directly issued a challenge letter outside the Immortal City.

The fact that Great Dream Immortal City bombed and killed a Fourth-Order Void Kun was no secret.

A little investigation would reveal it.

For example, at the Whale Hunting Feast, the Great Dream City Lord suppressing a Core Formation True Person with a raise of his hand could also be found out by participating in a few more Core Formation circles.

Under such circumstances, a Core Formation True Person still issued a challenge letter, challenging the two City Lords.

Either the other party was tired of living, or this person was going all out.

Lu Quanzhen knew without thinking that this must have been instigated by a Nascent Soul True Lord behind the scenes, using this person to probe.

If Great Dream Immortal City could once again unleash a Sun Profound Light, or if one or two Nascent Soul True Lords appeared, they would likely retreat.

If Great Dream Immortal City still did not respond to such provocation, the hidden Nascent Soul True Lord would probably make a move.

“Hoo!”

Lu Quanzhen took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then walked towards the backyard.

Although he could accept this challenge and act on behalf of the City Lord as an Immortal City offering,

with a Nascent Soul True Lord secretly observing, if he used his full power, his Kun Peng Physique and Kunpeng Divine Ability would be directly exposed.

Even relying on the Immortal City’s Great Formation and calling for the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale to return, it would still be very dangerous.

So, for now, he could only ask the Nine Leaf Senior, whom his father mentioned, to act.

Before he even reached the backyard, Lu Quanzhen felt a sharp aura.

“Junior Quanzhen, greets Senior Nine Leaf.”

During these days, Lu Quanzhen had not entered the backyard.

He had only distantly felt a peerless sharp aura emanating from the backyard.

“What is it?”

The Nine Leaf Sword Grass rooted in the spiritual vein in the backyard spoke, knowing that Lu Quanzhen outside the courtyard was the son of its master, Lu Changsheng.

Its voice was metallic, like the clang of a sword, extremely harsh. Even as a Core Formation cultivator, Lu Quanzhen felt a chilling, tearing sensation upon hearing it.

“In fifteen days, a cultivator will come to challenge us. Could Senior lend a hand?”

Lu Quanzhen bowed respectfully, knowing that there must be a Nascent Soul-level existence behind this.

“Yes.”

Nine Leaf Sword Grass did not say much, only replying with a single word.

But each word it uttered was like a peerless divine sword unsheathed, with a ringing clang.

“Thank you, Senior Nine Leaf.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Quanzhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, countless cultivators in Great Dream Immortal City were discussing the matter of Core Formation True Person “Yan Hai” issuing a challenge to the City Lord’s Mansion today.

“Yan Hai, why have I never heard of such a person?”

“Perhaps he’s a cultivator who achieved success in his cultivation outside and has now returned?”

“City Lord was able to easily suppress Wanhu Zhenren, and during the beast tide, he consecutively slew several Tier 3 Demon Kings and killed a Fourth-Order Demon King. How dare this Yan Hai, even as a Core Formation cultivator, do this?”

“Not only that, I heard that earlier, when City Lord held the Whale Hunting Feast, an enemy cultivator who was lurking was directly suppressed by City Lord.”

Most cultivators in the Immortal City found this matter inexplicable.

They wondered about the situation and background of this Yan Hai, who dared to challenge City Lord.

Although City Lord had rarely shown himself for decades,

the stories of Great Dream City Lord slaying several Tier 3 Demon Kings and using a supreme treasure to kill a Fourth-Order Demon King during the beast tide were still widely circulated in Great Dream Marsh.

However, it had been nearly thirty years since the beast tide and the killing of the Fourth-Order Demon King.

Many young cultivators in Great Dream Immortal City had not experienced or witnessed the beast tide of that year, and they felt that the story of killing a Fourth-Order Demon King was exaggerated and rumored.

Therefore, they greatly anticipated City Lord accepting the challenge from Yan Hai.

This way, they would not only have the opportunity to witness a battle between Core Formation True Persons but also catch a glimpse of the elusive City Lord.

“What is the background of this Yan Hai?”

The managers of the Four Great Immortal Sects stationed in Great Dream Immortal City were all bewildered upon hearing this, unsure of the situation.

The stationed managers of Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Yu Ling Sect even immediately speculated that this “Yan Hai” was someone invited by Heaven Sword Sect.

After all, the City Lord’s Mansion had been quiet since the Whale Hunting Feast and was unwilling to contribute much to the Liang Yue War.

Under such circumstances, it was normal for Heaven Sword Sect, as the overlord of Jiang Country, to have an opinion on the Great Dream City Lord.

Perhaps they had heard that the Great Dream City Lord was seriously injured, or received some other information, and were thus probing.

But the stationed manager of Heaven Sword Sect was very confused.

He had not received any information from his Sect.

Moreover, over the years, although the Great Dream City Lord had not accepted the invitation to assist in the Liang Yue War, he had still provided a lot of resources.

While their Heaven Sword Sect had opinions, it wasn’t to this extent.

However, he had never heard of this “Yan Hai” and did not remember such a person in Jiang Country. He immediately sent a message to his Sect to report the matter.

Half a month later.

Outside Great Dream Immortal City, an old man with a lean face and dressed in a dark blue magic robe stood with his hands behind his back.

Although he was old and his face was covered in wrinkles, his figure was remarkably tall and agile, and the spiritual pressure of his Core Formation Realm flowed around him like ripples.

“I am Yan Hai. Having heard of the Great Dream City Lord’s name, I have come today to challenge and learn his divine abilities.”

The old man looked at the Immortal City before him and shouted, his voice like rolling waves, echoing through the great formation and resounding throughout the Immortal City.

“Hiss, is this a Core Formation True Person?”

“What terrifying power.”

“I wonder if City Lord will accept the challenge.”

“He should, right? If he doesn’t, won’t it affect his prestige?”

“I heard that the Young City Lord went to support the Yue Country war, otherwise, the Young City Lord should be able to accept this kind of thing.”

Many cultivators from Great Dream Immortal City came to watch the excitement, discussing animatedly with expressions of anticipation.

“Please, Senior Nine Leaf, make your move.”

Although Yan Hai outside the Immortal City was a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator,

from his appearance and aura, it was clear that he was definitely four or five hundred years old, and his physical vitality had severely declined.

If he were to go all out, Lu Quanzhen was absolutely confident he could kill him!

However, with a Nascent Soul True Lord secretly peeking, he truly dared not make a move.

Otherwise, as a consecrated and Young City Lord, he would have directly repelled and killed this person to deter others.

The next moment.

“Clang!!!”

Lu Quanzhen heard the sound of a sword clang.

He suddenly looked up.

He saw what appeared to be a blade of grass emerge, transforming into a terrifyingly sharp sword light that pierced through the formation aura of the City Lord’s Mansion and Great Dream Immortal City, traversing heaven and earth, and instantly appearing outside the Immortal City.

In that instant, everyone was shocked.

A shiver ran down their spines, like thorns on their backs!

This sword light was simply too sharp, too overbearing.

It seemed to want to cut down all tangible things and slaughter everyone present.

Yan Hai was horrified when he saw the sudden appearance of the sword light. He was scared out of his wits and wanted to flee.

But the sword light locked onto him, and no matter how powerful his magic power, he could not escape.

“True Lord, save me!”

Although he knew this trip was extremely dangerous when he came,

seeing the peerless sword light before him, which seemed capable of severing the sun, moon, and stars, and all mountains and rivers, he couldn’t help but tremble in his heart, crying out for help, his voice filled with fear and despair.

However, no True Lord saved him.

The sword light illuminated heaven and earth, shattering his protective magic shield and tearing his Tier 3 magic robe. He didn’t even have time to let out a scream before he crashed down, dead.

“This, this, this…”

“This is City Lord making a move!”

Everyone present was horrified.

Even those not present, who had felt this sword light in Great Dream Immortal City, couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

“This sword light!”

In the distance, Pinghai True Lord, whose figure seemed to merge with the sea and sky, half in the ocean and half in the Void Realm, watched this scene, his pupils contracting.

When the Sun Profound Light had shattered Overturning Ocean True Lord’s Dharma Body, and Rippling Wave True Lord was entangled by the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, two sword lights had arrived when he rushed over.

Although he hadn’t carefully felt those two sword lights,

it was clear that the previous two sword lights were distinctly different from this one.

Compared to this one, the previous two sword lights were far less sharp, murderous, or refined.

“One person absolutely cannot cultivate three types of sword arts. This sword light definitely did not come from the previous two people.”

Pinghai True Lord secretly mused, “Could it be that this sword light is not cast by a sword art, but by some kind of Talisman or treasure?”

To be able to instantly escape into the Void Realm, Pinghai True Lord was very far away, so he couldn’t determine the owner’s situation based solely on the sword light.

But through his observations over time and previous conjectures, he was firmly convinced of his judgment.

The person who rescued the Dragon Whale earlier was the owner of this Immortal City.

This person should be a lucky individual who obtained numerous supreme treasures and top-tier Legacies.

He suspected that this sword light was very likely, like the previous sword light and Sun Divine Light, only able to be unleashed with the aid of some kind of treasure.

His true strength was not as terrifying as imagined.

Otherwise, why hide so much?

Especially since he had received some news over the years that a war was breaking out in this neighboring country of Jiang Country.

Yet, the City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City consistently remained hidden and did not offer assistance, even incurring suppression from Jiang Country’s overlord, Heaven Sword Sect.

This information further validated his conjecture.
