Chapter 896: Destroy the Stone Sea, the Opportunity of the Six Paths Demon Concubine (Two in One
Chapter 892: Eliminating Shihai, Six Paths Demonic Consort’s Opportunity (Two-in-One, 8000 Monthly Votes)
Outside Cangsha Island, Star Constellation Sea.
The Void Realm suddenly rippled slightly, and two hazy, indistinct figures emerged.
The black-robed old man with an aged face looked at the compass in his hand, facing Cangsha Island, and performed a divination.
A moment later, he cupped his hands towards the young man in front of him and said, “Young Lord, according to my divination, Shí Hǎi is on this island.”
The young man wore a wide, ink-colored cloud-patterned robe, with white hair cascading down. His appearance was exceedingly handsome, yet as cold and gloomy as profound ice that had defied melting for ten thousand years. He also exuded a demonic, dangerous aura, as if he were a god or demon.
The young man looked indifferently at Cangsha Island ahead, his pupils pitch-black and unfathomably deep, as if imbuing the world with a heavy and eerie atmosphere.
The next moment, dark red light permeated his skin, black mist rolled, and around him, grotesque demonic entities seemed to materialize.
Some had human heads and Dragon bodies, appearing hideous; some had no eyes, nose, mouth, or ears, only a pitch-black demonic face; some had six wings on their backs, covered in scales; some resembled lumps of flesh, covered in tentacles.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
As the black mist churned and the demonic entities materialized, the world’s Qi was filled with an indescribable terror.
Even the black-robed old man beside him, seeing his Young Lord’s appearance and Divine Ability, couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine, sensing waves of profound malice.
It was as if these demonic entities were staring at him, intending to devour him.
But in a flash, a blood-colored Dharmakaya with three heads and six arms, as if wielding destruction, slaughter, evil, and bloodshed, appeared and suppressed all the demonic entities.
It was the greatest demonic entity!
The six arms of the blood-colored Dharmakaya extended, and various Magic Treasures appeared.
Sword of Slaughter, Blade of Decay, Claw of Destruction, Bell of Death, Eye of Fear, Ring of Desolation.
The blood-colored Dharmakaya with three heads and six arms held the Magic Treasures, emanating a terrifying Qi of resentment towards the heavens, injustice towards the earth, hatred for people, objects, oneself, and all things, and charged towards Cangsha Island.
Although Cangsha Island was not a top-tier major force, it was still a Four-Rank island protected by a Four-Rank grand formation.
However, facing the assault of the blood-colored Dharmakaya, it immediately shook violently, its spiritual light flickering, and numerous crisscrossing cracks appeared.
The Cultivators on the island were utterly terrified by the sudden attack and the sight of the blood-colored Dharmakaya.
But let alone begging for mercy or asking about the situation.
Just looking at it made them dizzy, affected by a wave of disgust, hatred, and bloodlust.
Only Core Formation Cultivators could barely remain conscious, but even their Qi and magical power were in disarray, and their bodies swayed unstably.
Deep within the island, in the Four-Rank Spiritual Vein area, on an antique pavilion, Shihai True Lord, in a brown robe, was playing chess with a yellow-robed, square-faced man.
“What’s going on?”
The Cangsha Island Lord’s face darkened when he felt the violent commotion from outside. Two yellow rays of light shot out from his nostrils, his aura intimidating.
For any force, facing an attack on their mountain gate formation was a blatant provocation.
Although his Cangsha Island was not a top-tier force, it was still a Nascent Soul force with some standing.
Now, with a friend visiting, to suddenly be attacked at his doorstep was a blatant slap to his Face.
The two immediately stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and checked the situation.
Shihai True Lord’s heart violently shook when he saw the formidable blood-colored Dharmakaya with three heads and six arms outside the island’s grand formation, and a sense of foreboding welled up within him.
Previously, when he heard the news of Wumo Island’s destruction, a strange sense of foreboding had surged in his heart.
Although it only lasted for a moment, the ominous feeling vanished swiftly,
But as a Nascent Soul cultivator, and one who Cultivated the Divine Ability of avoiding misfortune, he placed great importance on his premonitions and sudden insights.
He chose to visit friends outside to avoid disaster.
Now, seeing the blood-colored Dharmakaya outside, his heart vibrated, and his Divine Ability operated on its own, making him realize that the danger was likely not for Cangsha Island, but for him!
His previous ominous feeling had vanished not because his premonition was wrong or the danger had disappeared.
Instead, someone had interfered with the heavenly secrets, blinding his spiritual senses!
Now that the crisis had arrived, his spiritual senses had reappeared with a mysterious premonition.
“Escape!”
As a Loose Cultivator, Shihai True Lord’s ability to achieve Nascent Soul and suppress Nascent Soul cultivators like Wugu Old Demon naturally meant his strength was extraordinary.
But precisely because of this, he deeply understood the terror of the blood-colored Dharmakaya’s master!
Not only did it give him a sense of danger, but it could also interfere with and blind his spiritual senses.
This was something no ordinary person could do!
Especially this blood-colored Dharmakaya, its imposing aura was intimidating, and it must have been condensed from a top-tier Cultivation Technique.
Moreover, the Magic Treasures in the Dharmakaya’s hands seemed to be Spirit Treasures, Four-Rank rare treasures.
Who wouldn’t be horrified and chilled by this?
“Brother Huang, who is this person? Why are they provoking your Cangsha Island?”
A Four-Rank escape talisman appeared in Shihai True Lord’s sleeve. He suppressed his emotions and asked the Cangsha Island Lord in a deep voice, hoping to stall for time through him and then find an opportunity to escape.
As for joining forces with the Cangsha Island Lord to resist?
Since the opponent dared to attack so directly, they must have relied on something and were confident in their strength.
Therefore, escaping was the best option.
As for whether the Cangsha Island Lord would be in danger?
He had a wide circle of friends, wasn’t it to hope that friends could help him in times of danger?
Now that he was in danger, if the Cangsha Island Lord could help him stall for a moment or two, their years of friendship would not be in vain.
“Could this person be the Cultivator who destroyed Wumo Island some time ago?”
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Cangsha Island Lord was naturally well-informed and had heard about the destruction of Wumo Island.
After all, no matter where it was, the destruction of a Nascent Soul force would cause quite a stir and attract attention.
“In this situation, I’ll have to trouble Brother Shihai.”
The Cangsha Island Lord said to Shihai in a deep voice, hoping he could help.
Then he shot into the sky and shouted, “Your Excellency, who are you, and why do you invade my Cangsha Island?”
The ink-robed, white-haired man’s pupils were deep and unmoving as he looked at the Cangsha Island Lord, devoid of emotional fluctuations, only exuding a dangerous aura that warned others to keep their distance.
The black-robed old man beside him threw a rhomboid spike towards the grand formation that the blood-colored Dharmakaya was attacking, and it shot forth.
This spike was terrifying.
It was a Spirit Treasure for breaking formations. Wind and thunder surged, countless abstruse runes intertwined, striking the grand formation and instantly forming a hole, creating a gap in the formation to prevent it from being repaired.
“This!?”
The Cangsha Island Lord and Shihai were both horrified at this sight.
Spirit Treasures were rare in the Cultivation World.
Most Spirit Treasures were for attack, defense, or evasion.
Other Spirit Treasures were not necessarily much more valuable.
It was just that most Nascent Soul cultivators, due to limited resources, only possessed one or two Spirit Treasures.
Only after acquiring Spirit Treasures for attack, defense, and evasion would they collect and refine other Spirit Treasures.
Like formation-breaking Spirit Treasures, generally, unless one was a major force, very few Cultivators possessed them.
Nor would they waste financial resources to collect or commission their refinement.
So, from this astonishingly effective formation-breaking Spirit Treasure, the two could tell that the newcomers were extraordinary.
“Your Excellency is so overbearing, intending to destroy the island at the slightest disagreement. Do you take the two of us for pushovers?”
Shihai True Lord immediately snorted coldly, looked at the Cangsha Island Lord, and signaled his willingness to help.
Although the Cangsha Island Lord felt that the two individuals before him were dangerous.
But since the other party had already come to his doorstep and showed no willingness to communicate, how could he continue to tolerate it?
Moreover, with the Four-Rank grand formation and Shihai True Lord assisting, what did he have to fear?
Immediately, the Cangsha Island Lord’s Nascent Soul magical power surged, and he unleashed his Natal Spirit Treasure, fusing it with the island’s Four-Rank grand formation, using the formation’s power to resist the blood-colored Dharmakaya.
However, just as he was resisting the blood-colored Dharmakaya, Shihai True Lord suddenly activated a Four-Rank escape talisman, unleashed a Divine Ability Magic Treasure, tore through the Void Realm, and teleported away.
“Brother Shihai?”
The Cangsha Island Lord was astonished, not knowing what Shihai True Lord was doing.
The black-robed old man’s eyes showed a hint of mockery as he tugged at the ink-colored thread connecting to the Void Realm in his hand.
Seeing this, the ink-robed, white-haired young man’s brow suddenly condensed into a blood-colored blemish resembling a half-moon lotus petal, and he plunged into the Void Realm.
It was as if an endless horde of demonic entities, a terrifying Dharmakaya filled with condensed blood, also turned and rushed into the Void Realm, hovering between the Void Realm and reality, overlapping with the ink-robed young man, its aura terrifying and intimidating.
After a few breaths.
The Cangsha Island Lord saw the blood-colored Dharmakaya disappear from the world.
The black-robed old man not far away merged into the Void Realm and vanished.
In addition, he realized that his friend, Shihai True Lord’s aura, had also disappeared from the world.
“This is…”
The Cangsha Island Lord’s throat was dry, and his hand under his sleeve trembled uncontrollably.
Terrifying, it was truly too terrifying.
Although he hadn’t seen the specific battle clearly.
But he realized that his friend, Shihai True Lord, was likely in grave danger.
To resolve Shihai True Lord in such a short time, such strength was simply terrifying.
With such strength, it would not be difficult for the opponent to break through Cangsha Island and kill him.
“What is the origin of these two? How did Fellow Daoist Shihai provoke such a terrifying existence?”
The Cangsha Island Lord’s emotions were difficult to calm for a long time, filled with confusion.
Although there were many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Star Constellation Sea.
But apart from a very small number of newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators, most of them knew each other or were acquainted.
Although his strength was average, he basically knew about the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Star Constellation Sea and had never seen these two people.
Even though the two had disappeared, the Cangsha Island Lord still did not dare to stop the formation’s operation, fearing that the other party might return for a surprise attack.
After waiting for a while, he still felt uneasy.
He decided to take all his possessions and leave Cangsha Island, heading to a major Immortal City to reside and avoid disaster, lest more trouble come knocking.
After all, this situation was simply too terrifying.
In the Void Realm, dark and hazy Void Realm currents surged like strong winds and river water, pounding and squeezing.
The previous ink-robed young man and the old man stood in the Void Realm.
His right hand was covered by a hand adorned with dark, intricate patterns, exuding a thick Devilish Qi, with five fingers like profound iron hooks and nails like swords.
All the light in the Void Realm seemed to be absorbed by this hand, filling it with a demonic intent.
“Fellow Daoist, spare my life. I don’t know where I offended Your Excellency?”
The hand was currently holding a translucent, fear-filled Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
It was precisely Shihai True Lord’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body from before.
Shihai True Lord frantically begged the demonic-robed young man for mercy, unable to understand who the other party was or how he had offended them.
As a Loose Cultivator, his ability to survive until now was not only due to his extensive connections and good relationships, but also because he knew who he could offend and who he could not.
Unless it involved a top-tier Opportunity, he never provoked major forces.
However, the ink-robed young man turned a deaf ear to his pleas, merely tilting his head to look at the black-robed old man, who was half a step behind him.
The old man quickly tore a piece of Origin from Shihai True Lord’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body and placed it into a porcelain bottle.
Seeing this, the ink-robed young man’s right hand became enveloped in swirling black mist, engulfing Shihai True Lord’s wailing and suffering Nascent Soul Spirit Body, seemingly devouring it.
“Young Lord, where do we go next?”
The black-robed old man said respectfully.
“Jiang Country…”
The ink-robed young man lightly raised his head, and a slight emotional fluctuation appeared in his deep, unmoving eyes.
The incident on Cangsha Island did not cause too much of a stir in the Star Constellation Sea.
On one hand, the Cangsha Island Lord was worried about inviting trouble and suppressed the day’s events, forbidding their spread.
On the other hand, the battle ended too quickly, and there were not many bystanders.
However, as a Four-Rank island, Cangsha Island still had intelligence forces stationed there, who reported the situation of the day and sold it to forces interested in such news.
Six Paths Palace, a top-tier force in the Star Constellation Sea, received this news immediately.
Like the previous destruction of Wumo Island, most forces in the Star Constellation Sea suspected Six Paths Palace.
Although Six Paths Palace had always been indifferent to such evil deeds, sometimes even actively taking credit for some of them.
But who would willingly take the blame for no reason?
Especially such a huge blame.
The main reason was that their Six Paths Palace was not in a good situation at this stage.
Her Highness the Demon Consort, who was temporarily managing Six Paths Palace, had mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
Although the Palace Lord, Six Paths Devil Lord, was renowned throughout the Star Constellation Sea, he had been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years.
Previously, when the Six Paths Demonic Consort went missing, the Six Paths Devil Lord did not even emerge from seclusion to inquire.
He merely had a diviner calculate the general situation and ordered the Four Sages of the Demonic Palace to manage Six Paths Palace.
Under these circumstances, the high-ranking members of Six Paths Palace had realized that unless Six Paths Palace was destroyed, the Six Paths Devil Lord would not emerge from seclusion.
Therefore, in recent years, Six Paths Palace had become much more low-key, unwilling to stir up trouble.
“Collect information related to Wugu and Shihai. What grievances did they have, and did they ever explore a Secret Realm Immortal Cave ruin together?”
Nightmare Demonic Lord, one of the Four Sages of the Demonic Palace, instructed his subordinates, then asked if there was any news related to the Demon Consort.
“Reporting to True Lord, there is no news of Lady Demonic Consort.”
Hearing this, Nightmare Demonic Lord sighed.
Although the palace’s diviner had spent a great deal of effort to divine that the Demonic Consort’s fortune and misfortune were intertwined, and that she might obtain a great Opportunity.
But thinking of the Demonic Lord’s indifference to the Demonic Consort’s disappearance, he still felt it was not worth it for the Demonic Consort.
After all, if the Demonic Lord were willing to emerge from seclusion to help, wouldn’t the Demonic Consort be able to completely turn misfortune into fortune, seize the Opportunity, and advance further?
He sighed softly, returned to his Immortal Cave, carefully unfurled a painting from his bookshelf, his eyes filled with infatuation.
The woman in the painting was exquisitely beautiful, truly captivating the world.
Whether it was her facial features or her figure, she was breathtakingly beautiful and alluring beyond words.
If any Cultivator from Six Paths Palace were to see this painting, they would immediately recognize that this peerless woman was precisely the Six Paths Devil Lord’s Dao Companion, the mistress of Six Paths Palace—the Six Paths Demonic Consort!
Although Six Paths Demonic Palace was founded by the Six Paths Devil Lord himself, there were still many Cultivators who joined because of the Six Paths Demonic Consort.
During its development, many Cultivators and forces were also subdued by the Six Paths Demonic Consort, captivated by her peerless beauty and charm.
Nightmare Demonic Lord was also one of the Six Paths Demonic Consort’s admirers.
Eternal Night Land, Guihua City.
This city shone like daylight, currently the brightest and most prosperous city in the Eternal Night Land.
The City Lord was known as the “White Bone Demonic Queen.”
No one knew the origin of the White Bone Demonic Queen, only remembering that ten years ago, a White Bone Palace suddenly arrived in this city, and from then on, the city changed hands and was renamed Guihua City.
In the center of the city, the White Bone Palace, situated on several fire springs, was this Demonic Queen’s temporary residence.
Normally, no one else could approach it except for the ghostly maids of this White Bone Demon Palace.
Even some outer-world Cultivators who were swept into the Eternal Night Land, or local residents who pledged allegiance to Guihua City, were not qualified to enter this White Bone Palace.
At this very moment, within the White Bone Palace, on the nine hundred and ninety-nine skull steps, in the White Bone Demonic Queen’s bedchamber, warm mist ascended, and fragrant incense filled the air.
Eighteen beautiful ghostly maids, holding ceremonial fans, flower baskets, and fragrant towels, gathered around a spacious and exquisite bath.
Within the bath, white mist was hazy, and a large expanse of vibrant red petals floated, complementing the entire bath, appearing exquisitely luxurious and precious.
Through the hazy white mist, one could discern a beautiful and captivating woman, yet also dignified, graceful, and majestic.
Her snow-white, jade-like body was comfortably immersed in the bath. Her dark, lustrous hair was coiled at the back of her head, dignified and elegant, revealing her long, graceful swan-like neck, delicate and alluring collarbones, and a large expanse of fair skin.
Although half of her majestic and ample bosom was submerged beneath the water’s surface.
The deep, enticing curve, and the glistening water droplets covering her fair, tender skin, exuded an unparalleled allure and charm, driving onlookers to madness and suffocation.
This stunningly beautiful woman was the owner of this White Bone Palace—the Six Paths Demonic Consort, Si Guihua.
She was also the City Lord and new mistress of Guihua City.
The water rippled, and the Six Paths Demonic Consort, who was bathing in the pool, suddenly frowned slightly, let out a soft “hmm,” and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
The sound was very soft, very faint.
There was no hint of ostentation or indulgence, yet it was breathtakingly beautiful and full of captivating charm.
Not long after, the Six Paths Demonic Consort’s red lips let out another deep, sensual, and alluring moan.
“Splash!”
The pool water suddenly trembled violently, creating ripples.
The Six Paths Demonic Consort’s flushed face became increasingly vibrant and captivating.
A moment later, she sighed softly, her naturally alluring almond eyes fixed on the bath pool before her, her eyelids lowered.
Her full, moist, rose-like red lips parted slightly in hurried gasps, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her sexy, alluring tongue.
As the water rippled, a beautiful, pale-faced, translucent palace-dressed woman rose from the pool, her expression respectful, looking at the Six Paths Demonic Consort before her as if in pilgrimage.
“Alas,” the Six Paths Demonic Consort looked at the ethereal maid before her and sighed leisurely.
Although there was a sense of post-event comfort, there was also a dullness and a feeling of loss.
“Continue,” the Six Paths Demonic Consort’s beautiful eyes gently closed, and she extended a remarkably long, perfectly proportioned, slender, and shapely leg from the pool.
The ethereal maid’s body was suffused with cold ghostly Qi, and she respectfully held this peerless jade foot, which resembled a work of art, serving it as if in pilgrimage.
The two ethereal maids beside her were also suffused with cold ghostly Qi, and they stepped forward to help the Six Paths Demonic Consort suppress the burning desires in her body.
“As long as I persevere for a few more days, once I accumulate enough resources, I can leave this place.”
Si Guihua lay in the bath, her red lips tightly pressed together, her beautiful eyes flickering open and closed, her jade feet, held by the ethereal maid, tensed and curled.
In the Eternal Night Land these past years, she had truly been in her element.
Not only did she harvest numerous soul crystals by hunting strange beings, cultivating and enhancing her ethereal maids, but she also obtained a top-tier Opportunity.
A Youmo!
A Youmo Priest contacted her.
He voluntarily sent a [Soul Demon Crystal], hoping to cooperate with her.
Through the Soul Demon Crystal, her dormant magical power completely revived.
And through the Youmo Priest, she obtained more [Soul Demon Crystals], and her Cultivation continued to improve.
If not for this being the Eternal Night Land, her Cultivation would have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
However, absorbing too many Soul Demon Crystals led to the surge of demonic intent within her body and the gradual rise of demonic desires, which sometimes became difficult to suppress at certain points.
Therefore.
Every now and then, she needed to bathe, play with cold jade artifacts, and have her ethereal maids assist her in extinguishing the demonic desires deep within her body.
“The pain I endure here, I will surely return it a hundredfold then!”
Si Guihua could have left the Eternal Night Land, but she chose not to, continuing to cooperate with the Youmo Priest and helping to destroy the Demon Sealing Array, all for the sake of utilizing Youmo resources to cultivate and enhance her White Bone Ghost King and ethereal maids.
At that time, upon leaving the Eternal Night Land, she would directly possess the strength of a veteran Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.
Not only could she seek revenge on Xuanmu Daoist, but she would also instantly become a top-tier Cultivator in the Star Constellation Sea, a Nascent Soul True Lord!
She would be on par with renowned Cultivators like Shen Jianjia, Star King, Moon Lord, and Old Ancestor Zhenhai.
Thinking of seeking revenge on Xuanmu Daoist, the Six Paths Demonic Consort felt the fire of demonic desire deep within her body burn wildly.
Even after more than ten years, she could not forget the atrocities he had inflicted upon her!
In fact, under the influence of demonic desire, it became even more profound.
Liang Country, Chi Shen Sect.
“It’s fine. Whatever you do, do it boldly. If you make a mistake, you make a mistake. Your Father will bear the consequences. There’s no need to be overly concerned when facing Burning Demise; just treat him as an equal.”
Lu Changsheng said to his son, Lu Lingxiao.
Although the Liang Yue War had ended and the dust had settled.
However, Chang Sheng Zhenren, as the Deputy City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, could not simply leave.
He needed to represent Great Dream Immortal City in handling some matters, such as liaising with the Jiang Yue forces, accepting assets, or arranging prisoners of war, and so on.
Previously, the Demonic Path prisoners of war were subdued by Burning Demise True Lord.
But now that the war had ended, the specific arrangements still required him to draw up a plan.
Although his son, Lu Lingxiao, the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, was handling things.
However, Lu Lingxiao was indecisive about some matters and needed to consult him.
After instructing his son to act boldly, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of a saying.
It’s easy to conquer an empire, but difficult to govern it!
During the previous Liang Yue War, he didn’t have to worry about anything.
Just one person, one banner, one sword, and one Roc was enough.
But now, facing the trivial matters after the war, he had a headache.
This was only a part of it.
He could already imagine the numerous issues after his Family completely took over Jiang Country.
At that time, rogue cultivators causing trouble, bandit cultivators causing trouble, unrest in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and so on, would all require his Family to worry about and resolve, with no one to help bear the brunt.
Taking advantage of this time, Lu Changsheng went to meet Li Feiyu.
“Feiyu, long time no see.”
After decades, when the two met again, they inevitably lacked the intimacy and naturalness of their early years.
Especially now, one was the Deputy City Lord of the top-tier force [Great Dream Immortal City], and the other was a prisoner of war from a defeated country.
Fortunately, after such a long preparation, Li Feiyu was already mentally prepared.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng was still the same as in their early years, he gave a wry smile and then felt relieved and at ease.
“Alas, you’ve seen me make a fool of myself.
Looking at Lu Changsheng, who was dressed in a green robe and as handsome as an Immortal, Li Feiyu found it truly difficult to reconcile him with the old friend in his memories.
“What’s there to laugh about? Breaking through to the False Core stage makes you a significant figure anywhere.”
Lu Changsheng took out a pot of wine from his Storage Pouch, poured it for both of them, and said, “As for me, you don’t need to compare. My current achievements are due to a great Opportunity.”
“Alas, I can’t compare, I can’t compare,” Li Feiyu shook his head and sighed, “I knew you had a great Opportunity in our early years, but I really didn’t expect you to grow to this extent.”
“If I had known all this, why would I have gone to Qingluan Immortal City? I might as well have helped you guard your home.”
Li Feiyu said jokingly.
“There’s no need to guard the house; Little Black is enough.”
Lu Changsheng teased.
Li Feiyu naturally knew that Little Black was the Nine Nether Mastiff.
When he returned to Bihu Mountain, the Nine Nether Mastiff had already advanced to the Second Rank.
“Is Little Black almost Third Rank now?” Li Feiyu asked, not knowing about the Nine Nether Mastiff’s situation.
After all, he had been in Liang Country and, although he knew a little about Yue Country and even Jiang Country, his information wasn’t very well-informed.
“Already Third Rank,” Lu Changsheng took a sip of wine and said with a faint smile.
“…” Li Feiyu suddenly didn’t know how to respond.
So all his hard work and struggle outside for so long were not even as good as his old friend’s dog?
His expression was dazed, filled with emotion, vaguely remembering that over 120 years ago, Lu Changsheng had come to the Crimson Whale Gang with a wolf-like Nine Nether Mastiff cub to find him.
At that time, he was still worried that the other party didn’t understand the art of Beast Taming and that such a Yao Beast cub brought home would not be tamed or domesticated.
Now, this Yao Beast cub has actually become a Yao King…
However, considering Lu Changsheng’s current status and the fact that several of his children had reached Core Formation, it was normal for him to cultivate the Nine Nether Mastiff, a Spirit Pet, to the Third Rank; he had the financial resources and resources for it.
“What are your plans next? White Tiger Mountain is no longer sufficient for you. If you return, I’ll find you an excellent Spiritual Vein Immortal Cave.”
Lu Changsheng could tell that his old friend was not like other False Core Cultivators, who could live for three hundred years.
Living to 250 years old would mean he had cultivated well in the future.
“Forget it, there aren’t many acquaintances back there anyway, so let’s leave it at that. Besides, the Grand Elder has already submitted to the Great Dream City Lord, and perhaps he’ll move to Jiang Country then too.”
Li Feiyu drank heavily, having no intention of returning or establishing a Family force, nor did he want to trouble his friend.
“Alright, just tell me if you need anything. Even with the Shura Sect, I have some Face and can say a few words.”
Lu Changsheng knew his friend’s character and also saw that he had no intention of establishing a Family force, so he didn’t press the matter too much.
He planned to indirectly help him through the Shura Sect and Burning Demise True Lord later.
Or see if the Shura Sect had any means to help him dissolve his shattered Core and re-condense a true Core.
“Alright, I’ll have to rely on Chang Sheng Zhenren for more guidance in the future.” Li Feiyu raised his wine cup.
“No problem at all.” Lu Changsheng smiled and clinked cups with him.
For the next period of time, Lu Changsheng, in his identity as Chang Sheng Zhenren, rested and resided at the Chi Shen Sect.
Originally, he had intended to take Qian Zhuyan to the Endless Desert to help her get revenge on the Ancient Puppet Sect.
However, in the battle of Moro, Qian Zhuyan’s Puppet battle array was almost half-crippled, and her Puppet body was also damaged to a certain extent.
In this situation, Qian Zhuyan hoped to seek revenge after her Puppet body was repaired and she had personally created a Four-Rank Puppet.
After all, if she could avenge herself through her own strength, she still wanted to do it herself, rather than have Lu Changsheng solve it for her.
Lu Changsheng did not force her, instead helping her conceive the repair and upgrade plans for her Puppet body.
As time passed, not long after, news of the Liang Yue War spread from Liang Country to Yue Country, Wu Country, Jiang Country, the Endless Desert, and other surrounding areas.
“The Liang Yue War is over?!”
Cultivators and forces in Yue Country, Jiang Country, and Wu Country were all surprised and stunned upon hearing this news.
Especially Jiang Country and Yue Country.
Although they had already heard some information about the Jiang Yue army beginning a counterattack against Liang Country.
But this was too fast, wasn’t it?
Only a few months had passed.
Even marching would take several months, wouldn’t it?
However, as news spread about Yangming True Lord’s strategic planning, his slaying of Thousand Blades True Lord, and his, Xuanjian Zhenjun’s, and Sword Saint Monarch’s assault on Beast God Mountain and capture of Nine Spirits True Lord, everyone understood why the war ended so quickly.
With the top-tier combat power achieving an overwhelming victory, it naturally wouldn’t take much time.
After all, in previous Cultivation World wars and faction battles, the top-tier combatants often found it difficult to determine superiority or a significant gap.
Therefore, they would rely on attrition through high- and mid-low-level combatants, slowly wearing down the enemy, and then seize opportunities.
As these messages spread, the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Lord’s prestige greatly increased.
It wouldn’t be long before their names spread throughout the entire Southern Wilderness Northern Region.
The entire Southern Wilderness Northern Region would soon know that Jiang Country had given birth to a top-tier Nascent Soul True Lord!
Not only did he single-handedly reverse the war between the two countries, but he also captured and killed six Nascent Soul Cultivators!
Although Liang Country was not considered a top-tier major country in the Southern Wilderness Northern Region.
It was still considered upper-middle tier.
Therefore, such a battle record was enough to deter the Nascent Soul forces of various factions in the Southern Wilderness Northern Region.
For example, in the early years, Xuanjian Zhenjun and Sword Saint Monarch were still worried that if Yangming True Lord reappeared in public, some Nascent Soul forces might come to trouble him because of the Han Sha Illusion Domain incident.
But now, neither of them mentioned the matter.
With the strength Yangming True Lord had demonstrated, which Nascent Soul Cultivator would dare to provoke him or seek trouble?
It was already generous of him not to seek retribution from those of the past.
Now, it should be the Cultivators who participated in the siege of Yangming True Lord and Qingluan True Monarch in the Han Sha Illusion Domain in the past who were terrified, worried that Yangming True Lord and Qingluan True Monarch would come to settle accounts with them.
At the same time, the outside world’s evaluation of the Tianfu Lu Family, Chang Sheng Zhenren, and Miaoge Zhenren also increased significantly.
Firstly, Great Dream Immortal City and Yangming True Lord were now at their peak.
Chang Sheng Zhenren, as the Deputy City Lord, also received great attention, even being scrutinized under a magnifying glass.
In this situation, his growth and rise were also highly praised by many Cultivators.
Secondly, in the battle of Huarong Immortal City, he, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Wangshu displayed combat power comparable to the Core Formation Late Stage.
Thirdly, in addition to his three sons, Lu Ping’an, Lu Qingxuan, and Lu Qingshan, he now had another Core Formation daughter, Lu Wangshu.
Including his daughter-in-law, Wang Yanjing, who broke through to Core Formation in Bihu Mountain, the entire Tianfu Lu Family was now a colossal entity.
There were rumors that Chang Sheng Zhenren not only possessed a top-tier fertility Spirit Body but also entered ancient Immortal Caves and Secret Realm ruins, obtaining top-tier Opportunities, which was why he befriended the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Lord so early.
There were also rumors that Chang Sheng Zhenren once saved the Great Dream City Lord’s Young Lord, owing a favor to Yangming True Lord, and thus received the full cultivation support of Great Dream Immortal City and Yangming True Lord.
Others speculated that Yangming True Lord was a powerful being who had Reincarnated and undergone Possession to Cultivate again, and that Chang Sheng Zhenren had shown him kindness and help before he had grown, so he repaid the kindness a hundredfold.
All these rumors tied Lu Changsheng and the Tianfu Lu Family’s rise to Great Dream Immortal City and Yangming True Lord.
Otherwise, his legendary experience would be difficult to explain.
Lu Changsheng did not pay attention to these rumors and speculations, nor did he refute them.
When he participated in the Liang Yue War using the identity of the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Lord, he had already anticipated this.
If he hadn’t been worried that fully revealing his identity might bring danger to his Family and children, he wouldn’t even have minded merging his identities and revealing them to the public.
However, now that Great Dream Immortal City was at its peak, with this connection and identity, the Tianfu Lu Family no longer needed to worry about these rumors, or external covetousness and greed.
Once Honglian breaks through to Nascent Soul and his children in the Family grow another level, Lu Changsheng will be completely indifferent to these matters and will no longer need to hide anything.
He might even directly hang the [Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror] high in the sky above Jiang Country, observing heaven and earth, and if an enemy attacks, he would directly blast them with a Sun Profound Light.
Qingluan Immortal City.
This former Holy Land for Loose Cultivators had long since lost its prestige due to Qingluan True Monarch’s departure and the Liang Yue War, gradually declining.
Lu Qingxuan did not go to the front lines; apart from occasional visits home, he cultivated in Qingluan Immortal City year-round.
Through Qingluan Immortal City’s information channels, he received news of the Liang Yue War immediately, and he was utterly shocked.
He never expected his Father’s combat power to be so terrifying.
He single-handedly reversed the war and captured and killed six great Nascent Soul True Lords!
“Hoo!”
He took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and calmed the shock in his heart.
But such news was like a raging tide, and his spirit remained agitated for a long time.
At the same time, a fiery red rainbow light flew out from the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and arrived outside Qingluan Immortal City.
This was a beautiful woman with exquisite features and a noble demeanor.
Her fiery red long hair was particularly striking, flowing with a reddish glow like the morning sun.
Her figure was slender, and she wore a vibrant fiery red dress, radiant and truly peerless in grace.
Although she did not release any magical power pressure, the subtle Core Formation Qi aura she exuded made the Cultivators coming and going in the Immortal City look at her with respect and awe, not daring to look too much, lest they harbor disrespectful thoughts.
After the woman entered Qingluan Immortal City, she immediately went to gather information.
“So he really didn’t come back…”
Seeing that Qingluan True Monarch was indeed not in Jiang Country, as she had guessed, Xu Ruyin murmured in her heart.
She continued to inquire about any major events in Jiang Country over the years, as well as the situations of Great Dream Immortal City, the Tianfu Lu Family, and the Beast Taming Xu Family.
As the Jade Slip containing news about Great Dream Immortal City was delivered, she saw that the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Lord were one and the same person.
Not long ago, the Great Dream City Lord single-handedly pacified the Liang Yue War, capturing and killing six great Nascent Soul Cultivators, and the woman’s delicate body trembled violently, her expression frozen.
