Chapter 861: Coming to the Xingxiu Sea again is still a good sign!

“It seems what this person said to Jue Jian earlier was not false; Jiang Country holds the Opportunity he seeks.”

“Otherwise, with his strength, why would he need to stay in such a remote borderland when Star Constellation Sea is so prosperous and rich? He could completely go to Star Constellation Sea and dominate a region.”

Xuan Jian’s fingertip unconsciously rubbed the Jade Slip in his hand, pondering inwardly.

At the same time, he wondered if Lu Changsheng might have come from Star Constellation Sea?

Otherwise, if the other party preferred to stay in Great Dream Immortal City, how would he have come into conflict with the Town Sea Seven Sects and accumulated such deep enmity?

Six Nascent Soul True Lords.

If the other party’s words were true, this kind of enmity was already a complete, unending struggle.

He found it unbelievable that Town Sea Old Ancestor hadn’t invited friends and that a large army was approaching Great Dream Immortal City.

“City Lord Wang, do you have a plan? Xuan Jian is willing to fully cooperate.”

Xuan Jian did not think much further and continued to look at Lu Changsheng, asking for his thoughts and opinions.

Although the latter stated that he had the confidence to resolve it if he prepared for half a year to a year.

But the other party also said that the most troublesome part of this battle was that if Town Sea Old Ancestor remained secluded, there would be no Opportunity to act.

As for killing their way to Zhenhai Sect, directly leveling Zhenhai Sect, and eliminating Town Sea Old Ancestor, Xuan Jian did not even dare to think about it.

Not to mention that Town Sea Old Ancestor was a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator, difficult to kill head-on.

Just Zhenhai Sect’s Sect-protecting array would be enough to keep them out.

Lu Changsheng pondered, remaining silent.

From Xuan Jian’s initiative to volunteer and help him lure out Town Sea Old Ancestor, it could be seen that Yue Country was very dangerous right now, and the other party was very anxious.

His idea of slowly staking out Town Sea Old Ancestor was simply unfeasible.

Once the Yue Country front collapsed, he would be very passive.

He must take the initiative, seize control, and achieve a quick victory!

Lu Changsheng suddenly looked at Xuan Jian and asked, “Xuanjian Daoyou is skilled in divination. If you and I were to go to Star Constellation Sea to find Town Sea Old Ancestor now, what would be the fortune?”

He had previously divined his own fortune at Overturning Sea Sect.

No matter how he divined, it was always auspicious, even showing signs of great auspiciousness.

After leaving Overturning Sea Sect, within the Star Constellation Sea area, although the difficulty of divination increased and the hexagrams were much blurrier, it was still vaguely auspicious.

Therefore, he suspected that his divination of the Town Sea Seven Sects was being obscured and disturbed by the other party, and he wanted to see what Xuan Jian’s divination would reveal?

If the hexagram was normal, he could use the other party’s hexagram to determine whether to act.

Xuan Jian frowned.

He wanted to say that this matter involved a top Nascent Soul force, a Nascent Soul middle stage giant, and he was afraid it would be difficult for him to divine.

But with Lu Changsheng asking him directly and looking at him, he still tried to divine with his fingers.

Just as he expected.

Lacking a medium, a deep understanding of the Town Sea Seven Sects, Town Sea Old Ancestor, and Lu Changsheng, even a simple divination of fortune would require burning essence blood and Lifespan.

Xuan Jian stopped after a brief attempt, saying with a helpless expression, “This battle involves a top force like the Town Sea Seven Sects, and my divination Dao is difficult to divine.”

To know the fortune, he would have to burn a large amount of essence blood and Lifespan, weakening him for a long time.

At this stage, he had to maintain his condition.

Especially in recent years, with the Liang-Yue war, he had already used divination repeatedly; once he delved into deeper divination, the consumption would double.

“There’s no need for extensive divination, just a simple sensing of fortune will suffice.”

Lu Changsheng naturally knew that it was difficult to divine without a medium and detailed information.

But he just wanted to know if Xuan Jian’s divination, the heavenly secrets, would also be disturbed and affected by the Town Sea Seven Sects.

“I have cultivated a Divine Ability that allows me to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, but it is being disturbed by the Town Sea Seven Sects, so I wanted to know if Xuanjian Daoyou is also affected.”

Lu Changsheng explained, not mentioning that he was a Fourth-Order Diviner.

After all, such methods easily arouse suspicion and caution; it was better to conceal it with a Divine Ability.

“A Divine Ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster? Being disturbed?”

Xuan Jian frowned, somewhat surprised.

He was surprised both that Lu Changsheng had cultivated such a top-tier Divine Ability, and by the methods of the Town Sea Seven Sects.

“This place is too far from Star Constellation Sea to sense anything; we must get closer to Star Constellation Sea to try and sense it.”

Xuan Jian pondered for a moment before speaking.

“In that case, Daoyou, will you go to Star Constellation Sea with me to take a look? If the situation is stable, you and I will first go to Yue Country to resolve the war.”

Lu Changsheng immediately said.

According to his guess, on the Star Constellation Sea side, Town Sea Old Ancestor would definitely not make a move unless he had absolute certainty of killing him.

However, such things were unpredictable.

So he thought of striking first.

But now, the Liang-Yue war was more urgent, and they had to achieve a quick victory.

Moreover, he had previously been unwilling to assist Yue Country, partly because he didn’t know when it could be resolved, and partly because there were no benefits.

Now that he had formed an alliance with Xuan Jian, there were sufficient benefits, so it was naturally a different matter.

Furthermore, he could agree with Xuan Jian beforehand that if anything changed in Great Dream Immortal City, he would return immediately.

With the Mi Chen Banner, as long as he prepared Spirit Stones in advance, he could return in the shortest time.

“Good!” Xuan Jian’s calm and profound eyes instantly gleamed upon hearing this, like a peerless treasure sword unsheathed.

He had gone to great lengths to persuade Lu Changsheng to go to Yue Country for support.

Now that the other party had finally relented, let alone just going to Star Constellation Sea to sense fortune.

Even if it meant sacrificing essence blood and Lifespan, he was willing to help divine.

After all, with the assistance of Lu Changsheng, this Nascent Soul middle stage giant, he and Hunyuan Zhenjun and others would no longer need to fear the Devil Dao Emissary behind Liang Country.

They could actively counterattack.

As long as one Nascent Soul cultivator from Liang Country or Yuan Country was killed, this war could be alleviated and stabilized.

“I’ll go back to the City Lord’s Mansion to prepare.”

Although the purpose of this trip was only to go to Star Constellation Sea with Xuan Jian to sense the fortune.

But since he was going to Star Constellation Sea, Lu Changsheng planned to visit Overturning Sea Sect again.

To see what had happened in Star Constellation Sea over the years, were there any major events?

For example, whether Six Paths Demonic Consort had emerged from Eternal Night Land.

Had Shen Yiren attempted to break through to Nascent Soul?

Also, to see if the other party’s method of obscuring and disturbing heavenly secrets had weakened.

According to Lu Changsheng’s judgment, even if the other party possessed the means to obscure and disturb his heavenly secrets, it was impossible to maintain it indefinitely; it must cost a great price.

So, to go, Lu Changsheng naturally wanted to bring the Golden Winged Roc and the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror.

“Mm.”

Xuan Jian nodded, not mentioning that he needed to return to Heaven Sword Sect to prepare.

He had already made full preparations for this trip to Great Dream Immortal City to meet Lu Changsheng.

After returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, Honglian asked Lu Changsheng if he had settled the matter.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, briefly explaining to her.

Honglian was not surprised by this.

She only sighed, “It seems the Liang-Yue war is more perilous than imagined. Heaven Sword Sect’s urgency is also out of helplessness.”

“Indeed.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, “So I thought, if there’s no Opportunity on the Star Constellation Sea side, and Town Sea Old Ancestor doesn’t make a move, I’ll go to Yue Country first.”

As he spoke, the Mi Chen Banner appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand: “I’ll go back first and retrieve the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror.”

“Husband, you mentioned last time you would help Chensha tame a Shadowfiend Sable. Chensha is probably close to Foundation Establishment Ninth Level now, isn’t he?”

Honglian suddenly remembered something and asked Lu Changsheng.

“Mm.” Lu Changsheng nodded.

“I have some time now, Husband. Why don’t you bring him and the Shadowfiend Sable over? I can give them some pointers.”

Honglian, in a red gilded Vermilion Bird dress, stood gracefully, exquisitely beautiful and ethereal.

Although she appeared gentle and close to Lu Miaoge and other female members of the Lu family.

But besides Lu Changsheng, the one she cared about most in her heart was Xu Ruyin, who had awakened her years ago.

However, Xu Ruyin had gone out on a journey years ago, seeking an Opportunity for Core Formation, and had not returned, with no news.

Facing this situation, she could only try her best to care for the other party’s son, Lu Chensha, as a form of compensation.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng readily agreed.

Previously, he thought Honglian needed to Cultivate, and planned to bring Lu Chensha over once he reached Foundation Establishment Peak.

Since Honglian proactively offered, he naturally wouldn’t refuse and was happy for Honglian to guide and teach this son.

Returning to Bihu Mountain via the Mi Chen Banner, Lu Changsheng did not delay much.

Taking the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror, the Golden Winged Roc, as well as Lu Chensha and the Shadowfiend Sable, he immediately rushed back to the City Lord’s Mansion.

However, such brief back-and-forth travel would also cause some consumption of his magical power.

So, upon returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Changsheng directly burned Spirit Stones.

The previous gains from Yinming Ghost Sect were abundant; now, hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones were no longer a concern for Lu Changsheng.

“Greetings, Peach God Senior.”

Lu Chensha, seeing Honglian in a red gilded luxurious dress, her skin glowing with a hazy luster, and her figure peerless, immediately bowed respectfully.

He was very respectful towards Honglian, knowing that she had taken good care of him in his early years.

“Chensha.”

Honglian nodded gently, then looked at the Shadowfiend Sable beside her.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak.”

After so many years in the Lu family, the Shadowfiend Sable had learned its lesson.

Seeing Honglian look at it, and knowing that this was someone it couldn’t offend, it immediately showed a somewhat fawning expression and bowed with clasped paws.

“Chensha, from now on, you will Cultivate in the Immortal City and follow Peach God’s arrangements.”

Lu Changsheng instructed his son, then left with the Golden Winged Roc.

As for Lu Lingjing, since her severe injuries had not fully healed, Lu Changsheng did not bring her along.

With the Golden Winged Roc and the Mi Chen Banner for travel, there was no need for the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale as transportation.

“Let’s go, Xuanjian Daoyou.”

Lu Changsheng returned to Yunmeng Tavern, called out to Xuanjian Zhenjun, and then the two left Great Dream Immortal City, heading towards Star Constellation Sea.

After they had flown for a long time, Lu Changsheng truly couldn’t endure Xuanjian Zhenjun’s escape speed and suggested, “Xuanjian Daoyou, how about I give you a ride?”

In fact, Xuanjian Zhenjun’s escape speed was not slow.

It was even a bit faster than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

It maintained a balance between mana consumption and escape speed.

It was just that Lu Changsheng usually had the Golden Winged Roc for travel and the 【Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus】 as his second Dantian, so he was simply unwilling to travel so slowly.

Moreover, he was planning to return from Star Constellation Sea directly to Bihu Mountain, to use the Yin and Yang Origin to help his daughter Lu Wangshu complete the final step of Core Formation.

At Xuanjian Zhenjun’s current speed, he might not make it in time.

“Hmm!?”

Xuanjian Zhenjun’s heart skipped a beat; he realized Lu Changsheng was implying his escape speed was too slow.

Looking at the long banner in the other party’s hand, emanating five-colored light, he pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Although doing so would put himself in a dangerous situation.

Once this Great Dream City Lord harbored ill intentions towards him, at such close proximity, his life would be in danger.

But considering they had reached a cooperation, if the other party had malicious intent, it would be even more troublesome to act on the Yue Country battlefield.

So, he chose to trust Lu Changsheng.

“Buzz!”

Seeing Xuanjian Zhenjun approach him, Lu Changsheng’s mana, like a roaring river, surged into the Mi Chen Banner, continuously burning Spirit Stones.

In an instant, the Mi Chen Banner glowed brightly, enveloping him and Xuanjian Zhenjun, stirring up ripples in the Void Realm as they flew towards Star Constellation Sea.

Xuanjian Zhenjun was surprised and wondered if Lu Changsheng wasn’t afraid of exhausting his mana by traveling like this?

Once his mana was depleted, there were no Fourth-Order Spiritual Veins here to restore it.

Moreover, choosing to meditate to restore mana would be slower than just traveling slowly.

If they encountered a tsunami, storm, or Fourth-Order Demon King along the way, it would put them in even greater danger.

Or was it that the other party felt that with him present, he believed he could handle it?

However, subsequently, Xuanjian Zhenjun did not see Lu Changsheng’s mana deplete for a long time.

Even though he could tell that this evasion Spirit Treasure not only consumed Lu Changsheng’s mana but also burned Spirit Stones, it shouldn’t be this sustainable, right?

Xuanjian Zhenjun became increasingly alarmed as he watched.

“What’s the situation with this person? Even a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator’s mana couldn’t be so vast and boundless!”

Xuanjian Zhenjun was surprised, suspecting that Lu Changsheng possessed some kind of top-tier second Dantian treasure.

Otherwise, relying solely on Cultivation Technique, it would be impossible to achieve this!

“It’s a pity that during the 【Tian Yuan Secret Realm】 back then, we failed to discover Tianyuan Zhenjun’s Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus.”

Xuanjian Zhenjun couldn’t help but recall the Tian Yuan Secret Realm discovered years ago.

From this Secret Realm, their Heaven Sword Sect gained abundant harvests.

Not only did Jue Jian Zhenjun successfully Breakthrough to Nascent Soul with the help of the Secret Realm’s Spiritual Vein and Luck.

They also obtained many rare resources and Legacy Cultivation Techniques.

Among them was the treasure 【celestial origin treasure king lotus】 which could serve as a second Dantian.

However, a Third-Order celestial origin treasure king lotus was useless to a Nascent Soul True Lord like him.

Only a Fourth-Order Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus could serve as a Nascent Soul True Lord’s second Dantian.

And the most Advanced celestial origin treasure king lotus in this Secret Realm would still require hundreds of years of cultivation to have a chance of advancing to Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus.

So, over these years, he not only had the Sect’s spiritual plant masters accelerate the growth of this celestial origin treasure king lotus but also continuously collected secret treasures in this regard.

He wanted to Cultivate this celestial origin treasure king lotus to Fourth-Order 【Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus】.

Even if it was just entering the Fourth-Order, Low Grade.

It could still further enhance his combat power and give him a huge advantage in combat.

A long time later.

Xuanjian Zhenjun suddenly felt Lu Changsheng stop his evasion.

He saw him lightly pat his spirit beast bag, and a Golden Peng Bird let out a cry towards the sky.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Changsheng put away the Mi Chen Banner and invited Xuanjian Zhenjun to ride the Golden Winged Roc to continue their journey.

Xuanjian Zhenjun looked at the Golden Winged Roc before him, somewhat surprised.

Once a spirit beast breaks through to the Third-Order and gains sentience, dignity, and pride, it becomes less willing to carry anyone other than its master.

And at the Fourth-Order, this situation is even more pronounced.

They must be given sufficient respect!

Did the Great Dream City Lord’s Golden Peng Bird have no objections?

Xuanjian Zhenjun, half-believing and half-doubting, came with Lu Changsheng onto the Golden Winged Roc’s back.

Seeing that the Golden Winged Roc didn’t mind him at all, Xuanjian Zhenjun felt a strange sensation in his heart.

He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng’s spirit beast to be so docile.

But he had seen this Golden Peng Bird several times, and it didn’t seem like a docile Yao Beast at all?

Lu Changsheng didn’t pay attention to Xuanjian Zhenjun’s thoughts; he sat cross-legged on the Golden Winged Roc, took two Medicinal Pills to restore his mana, and quietly regulated his breathing through Cultivation.

A few days later.

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and said to Xuanjian Zhenjun, “Xuanjian Daoyou, Star Constellation Sea is just ahead.”

“Hmm.”

Xuanjian Zhenjun nodded, observing the surroundings.

Although the gray mist here was hazy and suppressed the Cultivator’s mana and Divine Sense, it had limited impact on a Nascent Soul True Lord like Xuanjian Zhenjun.

Not long after, Xuanjian Zhenjun felt a subtle, inexplicable change in the Qi of heaven and earth, realizing he had entered Star Constellation Sea.

He observed carefully.

The mist permeated all directions, with no significant difference or change.

The only thing to say was that the seawater was deeper and bluer, and there were slightly more islands of varying sizes in the distance.

“Is this Star Constellation Sea?” Xuanjian Zhenjun murmured.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, looked at Xuanjian Zhenjun, and asked if he could now sense the auspicious and ominous situations.

“I’ll try.”

Xuanjian Zhenjun took out several divination artifacts from his storage ring and began to sense the auspicious and ominous situations.

After a long while.

Xuanjian Zhenjun opened his eyes and said, “There are fluctuations in auspicious and ominous Luck.”

He did not conduct a deep divination calculation, only a simple divination sensing.

This kind of divination fluctuation was very large, influenced by many factors, and could only serve as a general reference.

“Fluctuations in auspicious and ominous Luck?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, looked in the direction of Overturning Sea Sect, and tried to calculate and sense through his Taiyi Divine Soul.

Auspicious!

However, within a few breaths, Lu Changsheng sensed a faint auspicious sign.

Even a simple calculation and sensing yielded an auspicious sign, indicating that the auspicious sign was very high, at least a moderately auspicious sign, or a greatly auspicious sign.

Lu Changsheng frowned.

He thought, what the hell is this?

Could it be that Town Sea Old Ancestor’s method of disturbing the heavenly secrets was only directed at him alone?

This method was too mysterious, wasn’t it?

“Is Fellow Daoist’s Divine Ability still affected?”

Xuanjian Zhenjun saw the faint heavenly Qi flowing around Lu Changsheng and secretly wondered, was this other party’s Divine Ability for seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, or a divination technique?

If this Great Dream City Lord was also proficient in divination techniques, that would be too astonishing, wouldn’t it?

“Yes.” Lu Changsheng nodded.

Xuanjian Zhenjun couldn’t help but ask for specifics, wanting to understand such a method.

“As long as I circulate my Divine Ability and sense the situation of the Town Sea Seven Sects, it’s an auspicious sign, even a greatly auspicious sign.”

Lu Changsheng said softly.

Xuanjian Zhenjun was surprised.

He thought, this Great Dream City Lord, as a Nascent Soul middle stage powerhouse, has a mysterious and terrifying background and possesses various supreme treasures.

Under such circumstances, with just a Divine Ability sensing, it’s a greatly auspicious sign—what level of Opportunity could this be?

An Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Late Stage?

A top-tier Spirit Treasure?

Or a top-tier Fourth-Order rare treasure?

Even if the Town Sea Seven Sects’ treasury possessed such top-tier Opportunities, the sensing shouldn’t be like this, right?

Unless this Great Dream City Lord could easily annihilate the Town Sea Seven Sects and obtain such Opportunities and treasures.

With his preconceived notions, Xuanjian Zhenjun felt this was impossible.

If Lu Changsheng possessed such strength and methods, why would he need to employ so many schemes?

“City Lord Wang, I don’t know about this situation.”

Xuanjian Zhenjun shook his head and said.

Without knowing Lu Changsheng’s Divine Ability and methods, and the Town Sea Seven Sects’ hidden capabilities, he would not make a rash judgment.

“I’m preparing to go to Overturning Sea Sect to investigate the situation. Xuanjian Daoyou, would you like to come along and see, or wait here?”

Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on this matter too much; he was ready to go to Overturning Sea Sect to understand the situation in Star Constellation Sea.

Then, with the help of Overturning Sea Sect, he would delve deeper into his calculations.

If he could Breakthrough Town Sea Old Ancestor’s influence on him, that would naturally be best.

If not, he would make full preparations later and decide whether to act based on Xuanjian Zhenjun’s divination.
