Chapter 854: Yun Wanchang was shocked to see the child!

“???”

Yun Wanshang looked at Lu Changsheng and sighed softly, her exquisite face frozen in a daze.

What’s going on?

She could understand people coming from the Starry Sea again and him killing a few.

But the latter part of his sentence, how could she not quite understand it?

The Seven Sects of Zhenhai had a Nascent Soul mid-stage ancestor.

Without absolute confidence, he planned to prepare sufficient talismans before ambushing?

Ambushing a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator?

Didn’t this little rogue just break through to Nascent Soul?

How could he…

Although she knew Lu Changsheng’s combat strength was extraordinary and far surpassed ordinary people, that he could contend with and kill Nascent Soul cultivators and Fourth Tier demon kings while still in the Core Formation stage, and that he possessed a supreme treasure like the [Sun-Moon Dual Polarity Profound Light Mirror].

But for a cultivator who had just broken through to Nascent Soul to go and ambush a giant who had been in the Nascent Soul stage for many years and had already broken through to the mid-stage, wasn’t that a bit too shocking?

If it were anyone else, she would even think the person had gone mad.

“As long as I deal with the Zhenhai Patriarch, I will be free to withdraw and head to the front lines in Yue State.”

Seeing Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes filled with surprise and bewilderment, Lu Changsheng chuckled inwardly and continued.

Then he pretended to ask with concern, “Caiyun, what’s wrong?”

Even though Yun Wanshang faced Lu Changsheng and tried her best to maintain her composure and her only remaining dignity, she couldn’t help but be moved at this moment, frowning as she asked, “You… you said you’re ambushing a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator? Do you have confidence?”

In the cultivation world, cross-stage killing at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages was not uncommon.

But by the Core Formation stage, let alone cross-stage killing, being able to kill someone of the same stage was enough to be called a genius!

As for the Nascent Soul stage, cross-stage killing was earth-shattering, enough to be recorded in history.

After all, anyone who could become a Nascent Soul cultivator was a top-tier genius, someone who had previously killed across stages.

Especially once a Nascent Soul cultivator broke through from the early stage to the mid-stage, they were called a giant.

No matter where they were, they were magnates who dominated a region.

In the Jiang State cultivation world, only Xuanjian True Monarch had the possibility of breaking through to the Nascent Soul mid-stage.

“It’s very difficult.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then said in a deliberately profound tone, “At the Nascent Soul mid-stage, their strength and methods are unfathomable.

Only by relying on the [Sun-Moon Dual Polarity Profound Light Mirror] do I have some confidence in ambushing them.”

“So I’m still preparing, to make it as foolproof as possible.”

“…”

Although she could see that Lu Changsheng was showing off a bit and trying to make light of it, Yun Wanshang was still shocked beyond words by his words.

After all, such a matter was truly too terrifying.

However, thinking of Lu Changsheng’s supreme treasure, the [Sun-Moon Dual Polarity Profound Light Mirror], she felt slightly relieved.

This supreme treasure could not only observe scenes from thousands of miles away.

When the two of them had jointly activated it, it had even spanned thousands of miles and blasted a Nascent Soul cultivator to death.

If the opponent hadn’t had three people in total, with the other two helping to share the pressure, this Nascent Soul cultivator might have been completely blasted to death, their Dharma body destroyed.

Looking at Lu Changsheng’s handsome and unparalleled face, Yun Wanshang felt a little lost in thought.

A few years ago, she and Lu Changsheng had made an agreement in this Caiyun Hall.

One day, when he became one of the top cultivators in the Southern Wilderness, she would marry him, and master and disciple would serve one husband together.

At that time, Yun Wanshang set such a grand goal with the intention of motivating Lu Changsheng.

She hoped he wouldn’t waste his time and energy on matters of love between men and women or trivial family affairs, but would focus more on cultivation.

But she never expected that just a few years after breaking through to Nascent Soul, he would dare to plan and ambush a Nascent Soul mid-stage giant.

At this rate, he would likely become a top-tier great cultivator famous throughout the Southern Wilderness in at most a hundred years!

Lu Yunxiao sat quietly to the side, watching his parents talk.

He was still young and didn’t understand many of the words.

But he knew that cultivation was divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul stages.

His father was now talking about ambushing a Nascent Soul cultivator, which meant he was very powerful.

His mother’s expression also confirmed this point.

After all, she was usually somewhat stern and rarely showed such emotion.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunxiao tilted his head and carefully observed his father.

He was very good-looking.

It just seemed to lack some… dignified aura?

Lu Yunxiao was only three years old and his understanding of these concepts was still vague.

He just vaguely felt that his father seemed less imposing than his mother.

“What’s wrong, Yunxiao?”

Seeing his son staring at him, Lu Changsheng leaned down, pinched his cheek, and asked with a gentle smile.

“…”

Lu Yunxiao didn’t like being pinched on the cheek.

But facing the father he had just met not long ago, he still shook his head shyly and said, “I’m fine.”

“Haha.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son’s deliberately mature, tender little face, found it very interesting, and continued to look at Yun Wanshang, saying, “Don’t worry, I can handle the matters of the Starry Sea.”

“As for the Liangyue war, you don’t need to worry about it.

Delay it if you can; if you really can’t, then I’ll resolve it.”

Although Lu Changsheng couldn’t spare himself to go to the Liangyue war.

But if it truly reached a critical juncture, he could have Honglian take the Golden-winged Great Peng, or Qianzhuyan, to go and alleviate the pressure and situation.

Mainly, Yun Wanshang’s current state was really not suitable for going to the front lines of war.

“What are your plans?”

Yun Wanshang was not like other women who trusted Lu Changsheng unconditionally; she asked how he planned to deal with the Liangyue war.

Once Xuanjian True Monarch gave up support, it meant that the Heavenly Sword Sect would likely choose to retreat, seal their mountain, and relocate to preserve themselves.

At that time, the Qingyun Sect and Azure Lake Mountain would inevitably face immense pressure.

“A few days ago, I went to Jin State and pacified the three major demonic sects there.

I can first inform the Heavenly Sword Sect that they don’t need to worry about attacks from Jin State, and I can also have Jin State send some strategic resources to Liangyue to alleviate the pressure on the front lines.”

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly, revealed the matter of Jin State, and then said, “If that’s still not enough, I’ll send Jinpeng or Little Yan over to further relieve the pressure.”

He planned to take Jinpeng and Qianzhuyan with him when he ambushed the Zhenhai Patriarch.

So, unless it was the very last moment and absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to send the Golden-winged Great Peng and Qianzhuyan to the Yue State battlefield.

Especially when a general is outside, he is not entirely bound by the sovereign’s command.

When he wasn’t by his side, how the Golden-winged Great Peng would perform on the battlefield was uncertain.

And Qianzhuyan was currently fully focused on recasting and upgrading the battle formation puppets, which Lu Changsheng was unwilling to easily disturb.

“Pacified the three major demonic sects in Jin State?”

Yun Wanshang was stunned again.

Her mind went blank.

She had accompanied Lu Changsheng throughout his breakthrough to Nascent Soul and returned to Azure Lake Mountain with him.

Therefore, she remembered very clearly that it had only been a little over two years since Lu Changsheng broke through to Nascent Soul.

In these short two years, Lu Changsheng had not only confronted the Starry Sea and prepared to ambush a Nascent Soul mid-stage giant, but also pacified the three major demonic sects in Jin State?

This, this, this…

If she didn’t know that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t possibly lie to her about such matters, Yun Wanshang would have thought he was talking nonsense.

This was truly too incredible.

Doesn’t he need to cultivate?

After breaking through to Nascent Soul, shouldn’t he immediately go into seclusion and cultivate divine abilities and methods?

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Between me and Ming Sha, there were some past grievances from early years.

Thinking that resolving the Zhenhai Patriarch would require many rare materials, I simply went and completely resolved the Yinming Ghost Sect…”

“After resolving the Yinming Ghost Sect, I naturally took control of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Five Poisons Sect.”

Lu Changsheng, like the master of this palace, picked up the teapot, looked relaxed and composed, and poured a cup of spiritual tea for himself and Yun Wanshang.

Then he looked at his storage ring, found a milk bottle he had used in earlier years, refined several spiritual herbs with a flick of his finger, mixed them with spiritual milk and liquid, poured them into the bottle, and handed it to his son, Lu Yunxiao.

“???”

Lu Yunxiao was stunned when he saw the milk bottle handed to him.

He felt that he had already grown up and was past the age of drinking milk.

But looking at the fragrant, crystal-clear liquid in the bottle, he still took it and took a small sip.

In an instant, a look of intoxication appeared on Lu Yunxiao’s delicate and tender little face; he thought it was very delicious.

Yun Wanshang was so shocked by Lu Changsheng’s words that she couldn’t speak.

She never expected that the great enemy of Jiang State would be resolved so easily by Lu Changsheng.

Flattening the Yinming Ghost Sect.

And then taking control of the Five Poisons Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

One must know that the three major demonic sects in Jin State represented three Nascent Soul level forces!

To make a Nascent Soul level force submit and surrender, one must possess extremely terrifying strength and methods!

The shock in her heart was indescribable.

However, seeing Lu Changsheng hand a milk bottle to his son, Yun Wanshang immediately snapped back to reality and said with a serious expression, “Yunxiao is a big boy now.”

In her opinion, her son was extraordinarily gifted, possessed a Dao Body, and was destined to be invincible in the Southern Wilderness in the future.

His character, demeanor, and speech and conduct must be cultivated from a young age.

What kind of behavior was this, holding a milk bottle?

“What effect does this have? This kind of spiritual liquid is only good for Yunxiao’s body.”

Lu Changsheng said carelessly, not finding anything wrong or inappropriate with his son drinking spiritual liquid like this.

Yun Wanshang wanted to continue speaking, to tell him that a child’s character, personality, speech, and conduct must be taken seriously from a young age.

But seeing Lu Changsheng’s indifferent expression and thinking of his somewhat unyielding nature, she immediately swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and did not argue with him further.

“You pacified Jin State but are unwilling to provide support for the Liangyue war.

I’m afraid this will only make the Heavenly Sword Sect more wary.”

Yun Wanshang changed the subject and said this.

She realized that Lu Changsheng informing the Heavenly Sword Sect about the Jin Kingdom might not ease the minds of True Lord Profound Sword and True Lord Absolute Sword, allowing them to support Yue Kingdom without worries.

It would only make the Heavenly Sword Sect more wary of Lu Changsheng.

“I know, but whether they believe it or not is their choice.”

Lu Changsheng said calmly, “If they really can’t hold on and are in urgent need of support, I will try my best to help.”

Honglian had reminded him before that there was a lack of trust between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Great Dream Immortal City.

If he couldn’t help them immediately, it would easily cause the Heavenly Sword Sect to become even more wary.

“Okay.”

Seeing that Lu Changsheng knew what he was doing, Yun Wanshang didn’t say anything more.

She felt that the war between Liang and Yue didn’t seem like an urgent crisis in the face of Lu Changsheng’s strength.

With the combat power he displayed, it was enough to stop the war and bring peace.

“Caiyun, how is your body now?”

After the two had finished discussing the main matters, Lu Changsheng began to inquire about Yun Wanshang’s health.

Yun Wanshang: “???”

The two had known each other for many years.

Especially in the Land of Eternal Night, they had spent time together day and night, sharing hardships.

So, facing Lu Changsheng’s concern, Yun Wanshang instantly understood the meaning of his words.

Her beautiful eyes showed a hint of annoyance as she looked at Lu Changsheng, thinking, ‘My son is still next to us, how can this person…’

Lu Changsheng immediately understood, knowing that his master was shy, and then snapped his fingers at his son.

Lu Yunxiao, who was holding a milk bottle, suddenly started to feel sleepy and dozed off.

“Lu Changsheng, you!”

Seeing Lu Changsheng treat her son like this, Yun Wanshang’s exquisite and beautiful face instantly showed a hint of anger.

“Master, aren’t I just wanting to have a heart-to-heart talk with you after not seeing you for so long…”

Lu Changsheng immediately said in a gentle voice, filled with longing, observing Yun Wanshang’s expression.

“Who is your master!” Yun Wanshang immediately thought of her disciples Chu Qingyi and Xiao Xiyue when she heard this address, and her expression was a little embarrassed.

“Alright, alright, Caiyun, Caiyun.”

Lu Changsheng said with a helpless expression, then leaned forward slightly and asked Yun Wanshang about the specific condition of her body with concern.

He said that he had obtained some precious medicines in the Yin冥 Ghost Sect, which should be of some help to her.

Although Yun Wanshang’s attitude towards him was a little cold.

But Lu Changsheng knew that she, like Chu Qingyi, didn’t know how to face this relationship.

So she always maintained a bit of a facade, preserving her master’s dignity.

He didn’t care about this at all, treating it as a little flirtation between the two of them.

Facing Lu Changsheng’s persistence, Yun Wanshang also found it difficult to maintain a strong attitude and gradually softened.

Afterward.

Yun Wanshang also asked Lu Changsheng about dealing with Old Ancestor Zhenhai.

She felt that this matter was too incredible and beyond her imagination, and it would involve great risk.

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Changsheng held Yun Wanshang’s hand and said softly, telling her some of his trump cards, and then he also inquired about his son Lu Yunxiao.

Besides meeting him just now, he didn’t even know what kind of personality his son had.

“Yunxiao is very intelligent and well-behaved.”

Yun Wanshang said, believing that Lu Changsheng’s personality was not suitable for raising and teaching children or disciples, and she didn’t want him to interfere with her son’s education.

“…”

Lu Changsheng naturally acknowledged Yun Wanshang’s teaching and nurturing abilities.

It was just that his concept was still a balance of work and rest, and he felt that under Yun Wanshang’s teaching and cultivation, his son Lu Yunxiao might not have a childhood to speak of.

However, he really didn’t have time to worry about his children now and couldn’t persuade Yun Wanshang too much.

He planned to visit his son whenever he had time in the future and take him out for a walk.

“Yunxiao.”

After a long time, Lu Changsheng woke his son Lu Yunxiao from his sleep, saying that he had fallen asleep while drinking milk.

“???” Lu Yunxiao looked at the milk bottle in his hand, which still had more than half left, and scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong.

“Yunxiao, what kind of techniques have you mastered from this sword embryo?”

Lu Changsheng asked his son.

Although his son was only three years old, Yun Wanshang said he was very intelligent, so Lu Changsheng wanted to see it.

Lu Yunxiao no longer bothered about falling asleep while drinking milk, he put his two fingers together and directly performed the Sword Control Technique, his whole person seemingly integrated with the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

Lu Changsheng was amazed when he saw this scene.

He felt that in the future, he could directly scold people, ‘Your Sword Control Technique is not even as good as my three-year-old son.’

Immediately afterward, Lu Yunxiao pointed his sword finger, and several sword qi burst out from his fingertips.

And under his control, they circled around him, emitting a sharp sword light.

It was truly hard to imagine that this was a three-year-old child.

Once this spread, it would likely shock the entire Jiang Kingdom, and even the Northern Region of the Southern Wasteland!

After a moment, Lu Changsheng extended his hand and held his son’s Great Luo Sword Embryo.

After this sword embryo became his son Lu Yunxiao’s companion sword embryo, its effectiveness was greatly reduced for others, making it difficult to exert its power.

However, after his [Chaos Body] merged with his son’s [Innate Sword Embryo], the compatibility with this sword embryo instantly increased.

Although it was not as good as his son Lu Yunxiao, it was also integrated, enough to fully exert the power of the sword embryo.

“Buzz buzz buzz”

The moment he held the sword embryo, Lu Changsheng felt the endless sword dao rules intertwining and emerging.

As long as he was willing, he could completely use the sword embryo to raise his sword dao realm by several levels and become a top sword cultivator.

However, Lu Changsheng didn’t have the leisure for this, he just used the Great Luo Sword Embryo to play with his son, releasing various types of sword qi to test his mastery of this sword embryo.

Although Lu Yunxiao had a Foundation Establishment cultivation level when he was born, and his physical body was far superior to ordinary people.

But he was still just a child, unable to compare with a true Foundation Establishment cultivator, and while activating the Great Luo Sword Embryo and constantly observing and comprehending the origin of the sword embryo, he still exhausted his energy and began to feel sleepy.

“Hehe.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng carried his son to sleep, and then went to visit his son Lu Shouzhen.

This son was as usual towards him.

Full of etiquette, very respectful, but without much respect or closeness in his eyes.

Not only when facing him.

It was the same with Yun Wanshang, just slightly better than with him.

However, Yun Wanshang believed that Lu Shouzhen had a very good disposition and was very suitable for cultivation.

“Shouzhen, how has your cultivation been this past year?”

Lu Changsheng didn’t care about his son’s attitude and normally inquired about his situation with concern.

Lu Shouzhen reported truthfully, with a proper posture and a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

Lu Changsheng nodded lightly and continued to ask, “Have you encountered any doubts or problems in your 《Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture》?”

Lu Shouzhen continued to speak methodically, asking for guidance, and then Lu Changsheng answered.

“I still have things to do, keep these cultivation resources.”

After resolving Lu Shouzhen’s cultivation problems, Lu Changsheng handed over a storage bag that he had prepared earlier.

“Father, I receive a monthly allowance at Qingyun Sect, which is enough for cultivation.”

Lu Shouzhen was already sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, his eyebrows and eyes five points similar to Chu Qingyi, like a handsome young man, he cupped his hands and said, indicating that he was now capable of supporting himself.

“Keep it, when you break through to Foundation Establishment, I will take you to Yue Kingdom.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son in front of him, whose eyes were like cold stars, showing a hint of determination, and said this.

He greatly appreciated his son Lu Shouzhen’s self-reliant and independent character.

But facing his son’s character, he also felt a bit of frustration and guilt.

Now that Chu Qingyi was affected by the Liang-Yue war and had been unable to return, he also thought about taking his son to Yue Kingdom when he had time.

“Thank you, Father.”

Lu Shouzhen’s expression paused slightly, he took the storage bag, cupped his hands, and thanked him.

After parting with his son Lu Shouzhen, Lu Changsheng went to visit his Dao companion Zhao Qingqing.

“Qingqing, you don’t need to rush the matter of forming the core…”

Although there was the Core Condensing Pill and the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit.

However, Zhao Qingqing’s sixth-grade spiritual root and low-grade spiritual body were still somewhat dragging her down, making it impossible to be completely certain.

If Lu Changsheng had time, he could naturally increase her chances of forming the core by several percent.

But impacting the core formation usually takes at least half a year, and Lu Changsheng simply didn’t have that much time to help now.

So Lu Changsheng suggested that Zhao Qingqing could wait another two years.

By then, he would most likely have time to help.

After returning to Bi Hu Mountain from Qingyun Sect, Lu Changsheng had Honglian inform the Heavenly Sword Sect about the Jin Kingdom’s affairs, and then he continued to go into seclusion to draw talismans.

He planned to gather the fourth-order talisman formations as soon as possible to deal with Old Ancestor Zhenhai.

Otherwise, this matter would hang over his head like the Sword of Damocles, making him feel preoccupied with everything he did.

Moreover, besides the Liang-Yue war and numerous trivial matters, he also owed the Azure Flood Dragon King a favor, promising to visit its sister within a few years at most.

Now that seven years had passed, if he delayed any further, it might cause unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings.

Even though Lu Changsheng was not afraid of any demon king below the late fourth order now.

But he was also unwilling to create conflicts and planned to fulfill the appointment as soon as possible to repay the favor.
