Chapter 823: The Tianjian Sect is in a state of confusion, and the Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale is in great danger!
“It seems that under normal circumstances, this person will not easily leave this city.”
Pinghai True Lord looked at the distant, majestic, and brightly lit Great Dream Immortal City, his eyes deep as he said, “Or perhaps, he has already realized that Yan Hai’s provocation was my test.”
“Therefore, he used this method to deter and tried to put on a brave front.”
“Unfortunately, the more you do this, the more you appear strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and fierce in appearance but cowardly in heart, in my eyes!”
As he spoke, a slightly contemptuous and cold curve appeared at the corner of Pinghai True Lord’s mouth.
If he weren’t so wary of the other party’s Sun Divine Light and their supreme treasure, he would have directly led people to attack and conquer a mere Tier 3 Immortal City.
However, seeing that the other party had been holed up and refused to come out, he also realized that this Immortal City was not so simple.
In addition to the Sun Profound Light, there were likely other trump cards.
So, to deal with him, it was best to force him out!
After these days of probing and verifying his conjectures, Pinghai True Lord already had a rough plan in mind.
“When the beast tide attacked and the Dragon Whale was in danger, this person chose to act.”
“Therefore, as long as the previous Dragon Whale is put in danger again, this person will definitely come to its rescue!”
A湛blue glow flowed in Pinghai True Lord’s deep eyes as he looked back towards the depths of the Great Dream Marsh.
As a Nascent Soul True Lord, one of the Town Sea Seven Sects of the Star Constellation Sea.
They were very sensitive to the aura of the sea and Demon Kings.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult to find the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale before.
When he came here, he had already sensed the aura of the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale in the depths of the Great Dream Marsh.
He had not acted, fearing to alert the enemy.
Now he was preparing to find someone to act against the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale again, and then he would set up an ambush with someone along the way!
As long as Lu Changsheng left the city to rescue, he would catch him off guard!
The two were merely Core Formation cultivators who were putting on a brave front and borrowing prestige, relying on their supreme treasures.
Without the supreme treasures, Pinghai True Lord could kill them as easily as killing dogs!
Even if his judgment was wrong and his cultivation was not Core Formation but Nascent Soul Stage.
But as long as he couldn’t activate his supreme treasure immediately, Pinghai True Lord would be completely fearless, confident in his own strength.
Even if he was defeated, he was confident he could leave safely!
The main reason was that after such a long period of observation and analysis, Pinghai True Lord was 100% certain that the opponent’s terrifying Sun Divine Light could not be easily used.
It had to rely on the power of the Spiritual Vein formation to be activated.
Moreover, this Sun Divine Light also had a distance limit.
Otherwise, the divine light that blasted towards Overturning Ocean True Lord would not have come from the Dameng Marsh Sea Eye, but from this Immortal City.
“Buzz!”
After making a decision in his heart, Pinghai True Lord, who seemed to merge with the sea and sky, instantly disappeared into the Void Realm.
The boundless blue sea surface, under the sunlight, sparkled with no ripples.
No one noticed that a Nascent Soul True Lord, capable of controlling the changes in the Cultivation World, was hidden here.
It can only be said that when a Nascent Soul True Lord uses a Divine Ability secret technique to lurk in the dark, even a Nascent Soul True Lord of the same level would find it difficult to easily detect.
Moreover, apart from Lu Quanzhen, there were very few Core Formation cultivators in the Great Dream Marsh.
Under these circumstances, how could anyone notice this Nascent Soul True Lord!
In the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Quanzhen was shocked when he saw the sword light pierce through the heavens and earth from the backyard, instantly killing Yan Hai.
He thought to himself that Nine Leaf Sword Grass in the backyard was indeed a Nascent Soul-level powerhouse.
It was just that the other party’s voice didn’t sound human at all.
It made him wonder if it was also a Fourth-Order Beast King?
After all, his family already had two Fourth-Order Beast Kings, the Golden Winged Roc and the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale.
One more didn’t seem surprising.
“Thank you for your trouble, Nine Leaf.”
Lu Quanzhen respectfully cupped his hands towards the backyard and bowed.
Then he ordered the law enforcement patrols of the City Lord’s Mansion to collect Yan Hai’s body to demonstrate that the City Lord’s Mansion’s authority was not to be infringed upon, and this was the consequence of provoking their Immortal City!
“Yes!”
The Immortal City’s patrol enforcement officers were shocked and dared not neglect in the slightest, quickly rushing out of the Immortal City.
Immediately, under the respectful, awed, and fearful gazes of countless people, Yan Hai’s body was collected and sent back to the City Lord’s Mansion.
And the City Lord’s oral decree was spread: The Immortal City’s authority is not to be provoked, and this is the consequence!
“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”
The Immortal City instantly erupted in an uproar, countless cultivators gasped.
Overbearing!
It was truly too overbearing!
The Immortal City’s authority is not to be provoked, this is the consequence!
However, the City Lord’s Mansion indeed had the right to say this.
A high and mighty Core Formation Immortal Master, enjoying a lifespan of five hundred years, came to challenge, yet no one from the City Lord’s Mansion even showed up, and a single sword light easily killed him.
Such a method was simply terrifying.
Besides the Nascent Soul True Lords who stood at the highest level of the Cultivation World, who else could do it?
“That’s right, City Lord, as a Nascent Soul True Lord, it would be beneath his dignity to accept a challenge from a Core Formation cultivator!”
“A Core Formation Immortal Master challenging a Nascent Soul True Lord is inherently a provocation and an insult; he deserved to die!”
“I didn’t expect the rumors to be true; City Lord has already broken through to Nascent Soul!”
“I thought there would be an exciting battle, but I didn’t expect it to end like this.”
The cultivators in the city exclaimed with emotion, looking with awe at the center of the Immortal City, the City Lord’s Mansion, which resembled a celestial palace.
Although the City Lord rarely showed his face.
But in these past few decades, every time he acted, he displayed undeniable absolute strength!
As the saying goes, experts see the essence, while laymen watch the show.
In the Immortal City, most cultivators merely sighed, exclaimed, and discussed a few words, then acted as if nothing had happened.
However, some cultivators with rich experience, or from prominent families and forces, saw that this was likely a test.
A test by a certain force targeting Great Dream Immortal City and Great Dream City Lord.
Just like when Qingluan True Person had not yet advanced to True Monarch, people often challenged her to test her.
However, the performance of this Great Dream City Lord was much stronger and more overbearing than that of Qingluan True Monarch back then.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Quanzhen took Yan Hai’s body and searched his storage ring, hoping to find some clues from him.
He wanted to see if he could find out which force in the Star Constellation Sea this person came from.
However, Yan Hai had already prepared; he had no tokens on him.
Even the money in his storage ring was very meager.
Besides his Lifebound Treasure, he only had his broken magic robe and some Medicinal Pills and Talismans.
A few days later, the news of Yan Hai challenging Great Dream City Lord and then being instantly killed by a sword light from the City Lord’s Mansion quickly spread throughout the Jiang Country Cultivation World.
Most forces were indifferent to this news.
After all, they had long heard of Great Dream City Lord’s strength.
They thought, isn’t it normal for a Nascent Soul True Lord to casually kill a Core Formation cultivator?
As for a certain force testing Great Dream Immortal City, it had nothing to do with them.
Only the Four Great Immortal Sects were surprised.
Half a month ago, when Yan Hai sent a challenge letter to the City Lord’s Mansion, Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Yu Ling Sect secretly speculated.
They believed it was Heaven Sword Sect’s test of Great Dream Immortal City.
At this moment, upon learning that Great Dream Immortal City had forcefully and domineeringly killed Yan Hai, they immediately pretended to be unaware.
Such matters, not to mention other forces, even they themselves found it difficult to participate in or pay too much attention to.
However, at this moment, Heaven Sword Sect Master was bewildered.
When he previously received the news of Yan Hai challenging the City Lord’s Mansion, he was full of doubts.
He didn’t know the origin of this Yan Hai.
Now, hearing that the City Lord’s Mansion had killed Yan Hai with a single sword light, he immediately felt a bad premonition.
Could Great Dream Immortal City suspect that this matter originated from their Heaven Sword Sect?
The other party killed Yan Hai with a single sword without even appearing, which was likely a warning and a deterrent.
“Could it be the work of Liang Country or Jin Country?”
Heaven Sword Sect Master was very clear that this matter was not done by his Heaven Sword Sect.
Although their Heaven Sword Sect had some complaints about Great Dream Immortal City not contributing to the Liang Yue War and refusing to assist.
But at this critical juncture, they wouldn’t be so foolish as to do such a thing.
So he immediately guessed that forces from Liang Country or Jin Country were behind it, trying to provoke a conflict between his Heaven Sword Sect and Great Dream Immortal City.
He immediately ordered someone to go to Great Dream Immortal City and then report this news to Sword Saint Monarch.
“Sword light?”
Sword Saint Monarch’s sword-like brows furrowed slightly upon hearing Heaven Sword Sect Master’s report.
If it were in the past, he wouldn’t have paid much attention to Great Dream City Lord killing a Core Formation cultivator.
After all, at the whale hunting feast years ago, the other party had suppressed a Core Formation Immortal Master from Dark Shadow Sect simply through his Physical Body.
He knew that a Nascent Soul cultivator like Great Dream City Lord, even if severely injured as speculated, could easily kill a Core Formation cultivator.
However, the unknown “Yan Hai” and the sharp sword light made him recall the news transmitted by Xuanjian True Lord a few months ago.
It made him pay more attention to news related to “swords.”
It even made him re-examine all the Flying Swords in the Sect’s Sword Mountain and the “Revered Sword Hall.”
Now, that mysterious Great Dream City Lord also used a sword?
“Iron Sword, gather information about this Yan Hai and see if it’s Liang Country, Yuan Country, or Jin Country forces behind it.”
“I’ll make a trip to Great Dream Immortal City later.”
Sword Saint Monarch said with a majestic expression.
He had gone to Great Dream Immortal City to invite Great Dream City Lord Wang Lin to assist in the Liang Yue War.
But the City Lord’s wife, Li Muwan, said that her Husband was in seclusion.
Now that the other party had come out of seclusion, there was no reason to refuse, right?
Moreover, his Senior Brother’s words also made him want to take this opportunity to meet this Great Dream City Lord.
To see if the other party was related to what his Senior Brother said in his letter.
“Yes, True Monarch.” Heaven Sword Sect Master immediately responded respectfully.
Then he called back the cultivators he had just sent to Great Dream Immortal City and told them to fully investigate Yan Hai’s origins.
High above the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, a golden divine rainbow, like lightning, tore through layers of air.
If any flying Yao Beasts approached along the way, they would be directly torn to dust by the sharp wind formed by the golden light.
However, this golden rainbow light exuded a terrifyingly powerful aura of a Demon King, let alone ordinary Yao Beasts, even Demon Kings were trembling with fear.
When Lu Changsheng first came to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, he was extremely careful to avoid attracting Demon King attacks.
Now, he was very bold; if any Demon King dared to attack or block his way, he would directly turn them into fuel!
Just like that, at the extreme speed of the Golden Winged Roc, in just one month, Lu Changsheng arrived in this area of the Jiang Country’s Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
“I’m back!”
Lu Changsheng looked at the gradually familiar Star Constellation Mountain Range, a surge of emotion welling up in his heart.
Although this round trip only took a year.
But in this year, he had undergone earth-shattering changes.
From a Core Formation cultivator, he became a Nascent Soul True Lord capable of controlling the ebb and flow of the Cultivation World!
A single step, yet it felt like the difference between heaven and earth!
Ling Zixiao looked at the gradually familiar mountain range before her, equally filled with emotion.
She vaguely remembered that she and Lu Changsheng had come here in their early years.
At that time, both of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators and came here to dig up the Origin of a Spiritual Vein, which resulted in attracting a Tier 3 Wind Thunder Hǒu.
That was the first time she saw her Husband suffer a setback.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than seventy years had passed.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had suffered a setback at the hands of a Tier 3 Demon King back then had now become a Nascent Soul True Lord, and even took a Fourth-Order Beast King as a Spirit Pet and mount!
After the Golden Winged Roc flew for another half a day, Lu Changsheng’s thoughts stirred slightly, and the Mi Chen Banner appeared in his hand.
Upon arriving here, he could already sense the subtle Qi connection between the Mi Chen Banner and the Bihu Mountain sub-banner.
He only needed to fully activate the Mi Chen Banner to directly teleport back.
However, considering that this distance would surely deplete his magical power, he decided against it. He waited for the Golden Winged Roc to travel for another day before activating the Mi Chen Banner.
“Buzz!”
The palm-sized Mi Chen Banner in Lu Changsheng’s hand instantly rustled under the Nascent Soul magical power, transforming into a huge five-colored cloud.
Immediately afterward, ripples spread through the surrounding Void Realm, and the cloud enveloped the group, flying towards Bihu Mountain.
In an instant, there was a dizzying sensation.
It felt like a blink of an eye, yet also like the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Lu Changsheng and the others appeared simultaneously on the summit of Biyun Peak.
Everyone present had experienced Lu Changsheng’s Mi Chen Banner.
But seeing Lu Changsheng directly teleport back from such a distant location, and seemingly without excessive consumption, the women still looked surprised.
“Is this Bihu Mountain?”
Yun Wanchang’s beautiful eyes scanned her surroundings as she asked softly.
She had never been to Bihu Mountain, only gazed at it from afar.
“Yes, this is Bihu Mountain,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
“Since you have already broken through to Nascent Soul, I shall take my leave first.”
Yun Wanchang had no interest in the Bihu Mountain before her.
Especially after traveling to Great Dream Immortal City with Lu Changsheng, and subsequently meeting Honglian, Ling Zixiao, and Lu Lingxiao.
If she didn’t leave now, would she then have to meet all of his wives, concubines, and children at Lu?
Yun Wanchang had no interest in this, and even felt some resistance and repulsion.
“Aren’t you going to rest for a bit?”
Lu Changsheng instinctively said.
However, he also knew that she had a certain emotional潔癖 and was somewhat repulsed by his wives and concubines, so he didn’t force it. He then said, “Alright, I’ll see you off.”
He then held Yun Wanchang’s fair, jade-like hand, and in just a few breaths, they appeared a thousand miles outside Qingyun Sect.
Having broken through to Nascent Soul and possessing the Mi Chen Banner, a Spirit Treasure for evasion, Lu Changsheng could now teleport a thousand miles away at will.
Even Yun Wanchang, as a Nascent Soul True Lord, couldn’t help but marvel at Lu Changsheng’s instant movement technique, secretly thinking that he was truly a Prodigy.
Her own Nascent Soul True Lord status seemed worlds apart from him.
One must know that her Nascent Soul Spirit Body was already a top-tier Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, surpassing countless Nascent Soul Cultivators.
“Caiyun, you’ve worked hard on this trip. I’ll come to see you and Yunxiao once I’m done with matters at Lu.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the stunning beauty before him, whose face was still somewhat pale and weak. Holding her hand, he said in a gentle voice, “If you have anything on your mind, don’t keep it to yourself. Just send me a message directly.”
After speaking, he added, “I am now Kirin Sword Lord.”
Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s additional words, a smile suddenly welled up in Yun Wanchang’s heart.
However, she never showed a good face when faced with Lu Changsheng’s tenderness.
Especially when she thought about having to go back and accompany those women again.
“Got it, go do your thing.”
Yun Wanchang said with a cold expression, then shook off his hand, preparing to return to Qingyun Sect to see her son.
However, she felt her hand being held tightly by Lu Changsheng, unable to shake it off.
Immediately after, she saw the handsome, immortal-like young man approach, and he said in a magnetic, gentle voice, “Now that your Husband has broken through to Nascent Soul, Caiyun, do you still not acknowledge your Husband?”
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanchang’s expression instantly turned shy and annoyed. Just as she was about to retort, she saw Lu Changsheng lean in, capturing her red lips, attempting to seize the sweetness.
Yun Wanchang was instantly struck as if by lightning.
She had not expected Lu Changsheng to be so domineering all of a sudden.
She wanted to push him away.
But not to mention her current weakened state.
Even at her peak, being so close to a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Lu Changsheng, who cultivated both Magic and Physical Body, she would be incredibly passive and difficult to break free.
For a moment, Yun Wanchang felt helpless.
It was as if she was experiencing what it was like when she used to pin Lu Changsheng down.
A moment later, sensing Lu Changsheng’s hand gradually becoming restless, her beautiful eyes instantly turned cold as she looked at Lu Changsheng, her entire body’s Nascent Soul magical power surging.
Seeing the beauty begin to resist, Lu Changsheng immediately released her.
Then, with a natural expression, as if nothing had happened, he said, “Facing Caiyun, your Husband truly cannot control himself.”
Yun Wanchang’s pale, snowy cheeks were tinged with a slight blush, and her heart fluttered and pounded violently from Lu Changsheng’s forceful kiss just now.
“Stop your sweet talk.”
She said with a clear face and an indifferent voice.
As soon as her voice fell, her entire being transformed into a colorful rainbow light, flying towards Qingyun Sect.
However, Lu Changsheng could clearly see that not only was her aura chaotic and her emotions fluctuating, but even her departure was somewhat hurried.
As if she was fleeing in a panic.
“Hehe.”
Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, holding the Mi Chen Banner in his hand and gently shaking it.
Colorful light shimmered, forming ripples of spatial fluctuation, and he reappeared on the summit of Biyun Peak.
“Did Lang Jun not properly express his feelings to that Caiyun Zhenjun, oh no, Yunji True Monarch? This concubine sees that this True Monarch seems to have feelings for Lang Jun.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng return, Ling Zixiao immediately said with a beaming smile.
If before, she couldn’t be entirely sure that the Yunji True Monarch was the Caiyun Zhenjun of Qingyun Sect.
Then with her choosing to leave at this moment, she could now fully confirm it.
“What feelings? There’s nothing of the sort.”
Lu Changsheng immediately said, lightly patting her plump buttocks, intending to properly discipline this wife later to assert his husbandly authority.
At the same time, Lu Miaoyun arrived through the spatial fluctuation, and upon seeing him, she immediately said with a joyful expression, “Husband, you’ve broken through to Nascent Soul!?”
Although breaking through to Nascent Soul was a secret matter.
However, Lu Changsheng never concealed things from his wife, so when he went out with Lu Miaoge, he didn’t hide it from Lu Miaoyun.
“That’s right.”
Lu Changsheng held his wife’s hand and said with a smile, directly performing a Soul Emergence of his Nascent Soul for her.
Not only Lu Miaoyun.
Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and even Honglian, who were nearby, all looked at Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body with expressions of surprise and doubt.
Such a Nascent Soul Spirit Body, regardless of size, aura, or solidity, did not resemble that of a recently broken-through Nascent Soul Cultivator at all.
“Could Husband’s Nascent Soul truly be an unprecedented Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul?”
Although Honglian was a Nascent Soul True Lord in her previous life, she was only at the sixth layer of Nascent Soul.
It was only through Acquired Opportunity that her Nascent Soul Spirit Body barely stepped into the half-step Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.
Therefore, she couldn’t determine whether Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body was the most top-tier Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, or the non-existent Grand Dao Nascent Soul.
“So this is a Nascent Soul Spirit Body.”
“This little Nascent Soul is really cute, exactly like Husband.”
The women examined the Nascent Soul Spirit Body before them, finding it very interesting.
Ling Zixiao even tried to touch it, only to feel that the Nascent Soul Spirit Body before her was like the most gentle and beautiful jade in the world.
“You be careful,” Lu Changsheng said to his wife, not meaning to be careful of hurting the Nascent Soul, but that his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, if it didn’t restrain its Qi, might harm her.
Although the Nascent Soul Spirit Body’s combat power was generally average, that was relative to Nascent Soul True Lords of the same level.
Facing Core Formation Cultivators, it was not on the same level at all, and could easily intimidate and even possess them!
After playing around for a while, Lu Changsheng retracted his Nascent Soul Spirit Body back into his Purple Mansion Dantian and asked his wife, Lu Miaoyun, if anything had happened at Lu or in Great Dream Immortal City during this time.
“Husband, there was news earlier that a Core Formation Cultivator named “Yan Hai” challenged the Great Dream City Lord, and was then killed by a sword light.”
Bihu Mountain, as the top Core Formation Family in Jiang Country, had extensive intelligence even without the 【Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror】video calls.
They had received intelligence from Great Dream Immortal City early on.
At that time, she had thought her Husband Lu Changsheng, a Nascent Soul, had returned, but seeing no reaction from the Sun Moon Plate, she knew it wasn’t Lu Changsheng who had acted.
“Sword light!?”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, instantly realizing that Nine Leaf Sword Grass had acted.
Normally, his son Lu Quanzhen would be able to resolve it; for Nine Leaf Sword Grass to act, it indicated that the situation was very grim.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng began to calculate the situation in Great Dream Immortal City with his fingers.
The Immortal City was currently safe, but it was enveloped by a surging aura of fierce calamity, indicating that it was facing a huge crisis.
Lu Changsheng’s expression slightly condensed, and he then calculated Lu Lingjing’s situation.
The heavenly secrets were hazy and chaotic, seemingly interfered with and affected by someone.
He frowned slightly, threw out his divination artifact, three divination copper coins, and further calculated!
Instantly, he realized that a diviner was obfuscating Lu Lingjing’s heavenly secret situation.
“Can’t alert the enemy!”
A scale appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand.
It was precisely a scale from the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, convenient for divination and calculation.
Great ill omen!
The Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale was currently suffering a calamity, showing a great ill omen!
Lu Changsheng’s face changed, and he immediately said to his wife, “Lingjing is in danger. I’m going to Great Dream Immortal City now!”
“Husband, I’ll go with you.”
Honglian, seeing Lu Changsheng’s expression, instantly realized that Lu Lingjing’s situation was extremely dangerous, and it must be the Nascent Soul True Lords from Star Constellation Sea attacking.
Although Lu Changsheng had broken through to Nascent Soul, and his Nascent Soul Spirit Body far surpassed other Nascent Soul Cultivators.
However, his Lifebound Treasure, the 【Yin Yang Diagram】, was damaged, and he had not yet cultivated Divine Ability techniques. If he faced multiple Nascent Soul True Lords, he might be in danger.
“Miaoge, Zixiao, you two stay here for now. Honglian and I will go first.”
Lu Changsheng did not delay further, taking Honglian and the Golden Winged Roc, shaking the Mi Chen Banner in his hand.
However, he did not use his magical power again, but rather burned Spirit Stones, to avoid excessive consumption and affecting the battle.
Amidst the dizzying sensation, Lu Changsheng and Honglian appeared in the Great Dream Immortal City, at the City Lord’s Mansion.
However, just at this moment, abruptly, a sudden premonition welled up within him.
