Chapter 902: Qu Changge was shocked!

Chapter 898: Qu Changge’s Shock!

“Chensha is currently in Great Dream Immortal City, preparing for Core Formation. You can go see him.”

Honglian knew that Xu Ruyin’s feelings for Lu Changsheng were very complicated.

She didn’t directly persuade her, but through Lu Chensha’s current situation, she let Xu Ruyin know that Lu Changsheng had no prejudice against her.

He had always remembered her and taken great care of Lu Chensha.

In fact, although Lu Chensha wasn’t particularly doted upon by Lu Changsheng, by relying on his Beast Taming talent, cultivating the Beast Control Technique, and raising Iron Fire Ants, he was highly valued by Lu Changsheng.

Not only did he obtain a Heaven Rank Spirit Insect like the Huishen Insect, but he also had a Tier 3 Demon King, the Shadowfiend Sable, prepared in advance.

His Grade 5 Spiritual Root also reached Grade 4 with Lu Wangshu’s Heaven Mending Pill.

Due to cultivating the Beast Control Technique, his previous Grade 5 Spiritual Root was comparable to a High Grade Spiritual Root, so Core Formation was practically a certainty.

After successfully contracting the Shadowfiend Sable, with the series of High Grade Core Formation spiritual items prepared by Lu Changsheng, he had a high probability of condensing an Immortal Golden Core!

“Chensha is in Great Dream Immortal City?” Xu Ruyin asked in surprise.

Great Dream Immortal City was not suitable for Cultivators like her and Lu Chensha, who specialized in Beast Taming and insect manipulation, to train.

Once they entered the water, their combat power would be reduced by 30%, making it difficult to exert their full strength.

“Yes.” Honglian nodded, indicating that the latter was very good, which was why she brought him here to Cultivate.

“Thank you for your trouble, Senior Honglian.”

Xu Ruyin had spent little time with Lu Chensha, and her feelings for this son were extremely complex.

But she knew that her son, Lu Chensha, could not have achieved his current accomplishments without Honglian’s care.

“Xu Yatou, why are you being so formal with me?”

Honglian chuckled softly, able to sense that each time she and Xu Ruyin parted, a faint sense of distance would grow between them.

The two chatted for a moment, preparing to head to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Just then, Xu Ruyin’s expression was hesitant, as if she wanted to speak but held back.

“What’s wrong, Xu Yatou?”

Honglian had long noticed that Xu Ruyin seemed to have something on her mind, and her changes since leaving were quite significant compared to before.

“Senior Honglian…”

Xu Ruyin lightly bit her red lips, hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Honglian and said, “After I Broke Through to Core Formation, it seems I broke through the confusion of the womb, and some memories emerged from the depths of my Sea of Consciousness…”

Although she had broken through the confusion of the womb and awakened some memories of her previous life.

These memories were very fragmented and blurry.

To further awaken her memories, gain insights from her previous life, and deepen her foundation, the simplest and most direct method was to raise her Cultivation Realm.

However, the main methods she had prepared in her previous life were the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman and Honglian.

Now, Honglian had reshaped her Physical Body and married Lu Changsheng, and her Ancient Beast Taming Talisman was also in Lu Changsheng’s hands.

It was simply impossible to retrieve it through other means.

So she decided to be frank.

To Honglian and Lu Changsheng, she would confess her identity as a Reincarnated Grand Cultivator.

Mainly facing Lu Changsheng, who had grown to the point of single-handedly capturing and killing six Nascent Soul True Lords in such a short time, she felt utterly powerless to resist and had accepted her fate.

Moreover, her feelings for Lu Changsheng were very complex.

Although there was humiliation and fear, there was also submission, admiration, and an inexplicable affection and gratitude.

“Broke through the confusion of the womb!?”

Honglian’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Breaking through the confusion of the womb and awakening past life memories did not necessarily mean one was a Reincarnated Grand Cultivator.

But to awaken past life memories just by Breaking Through to Core Formation indicated that her past life was far from simple, at least a Nascent Soul cultivator!

And Honglian had pondered Xu Ruyin’s situation years ago.

First, Xu Ruyin found the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman and awakened her.

Second, apart from Xu Ruyin and Lu Chensha, no third person in the entire Lu family cultivated the Beast Control Technique.

So Honglian suspected that Lu Chensha’s ability to cultivate the Beast Control Technique was related to Xu Ruyin.

However, she had examined Lu Chensha’s physical condition and found no hidden Spiritual Body or anything similar.

Now, hearing Xu Ruyin’s words, she immediately realized that it was very likely a genetic inheritance in terms of Bloodline and Divine Soul characteristics!

As Xu Ruyin’s son, Lu Chensha inherited and was influenced by her Divine Soul characteristics.

It was probably this Divine Soul characteristic that allowed Lu Chensha to Cultivate the Beast Control Technique.

“Did your previous life come from Beiyuan?” Honglian gazed at Xu Ruyin in front of her and asked.

Her previous life came from the Beiyuan Cultivation World.

Due to exploring and deciphering a Sect remnant suspected to be the ancient “Yuhua Ice Palace.”

But as soon as the ruins were broken open, she was affected and fought fiercely with a Nascent Soul cultivator from her arch-nemesis, the Ice God Palace, even self-detonating her Nascent Soul.

When she woke up, she was already inside the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman.

She had always wanted to explore the current situation, return to the Beiyuan Cultivation World, and visit the Vermilion Bird Palace.

“I don’t know either. The memories in my mind are very blurry and fragmented, as if many memories are obscured by a mist.”

Xu Ruyin shook her head and said.

“Obscured by a mist?” Honglian immediately realized that Xu Ruyin’s situation was far from simple.

She wanted to continue asking questions.

But Xu Ruyin’s frankness to her was not just to inform her, but also to ask for her help.

Although she didn’t mind helping, she was currently fully preparing for Nascent Soul matters and needed to be stationed in Great Dream Immortal City.

Moreover, Xu Ruyin’s matter involved a Reincarnated Grand Cultivator, and her relationship with Lu Changsheng was complicated, so Honglian felt it would be difficult to handle and it would be best to wait for Lu Changsheng to return.

“Xu Yatou, you should rest in the Immortal City first. My husband went to the Yue Country front line earlier, and now that the Liang Yue War has been settled, he should be back soon. You can tell him then.”

Honglian pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Xu Ruyin originally wanted to ask Honglian if the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman was in her hands, so she could use the talisman to open its Legacy and use it to cultivate her Spirit Pets.

But hearing Honglian’s words, she knew that this matter required Lu Changsheng’s approval.

“Mm.” She sighed softly in her heart, not wanting to make things difficult for Honglian, and went with the latter to the City Lord’s Mansion to visit her son, Lu Chensha.

However, just as her feelings for Lu Chensha were complex, Lu Chensha also lacked closeness with his mother, Xu Ruyin, whom he had met only a handful of times since childhood.

“Alas.” Honglian sighed in her heart as she saw the somewhat stiff mother and son, trying her best to ease their relationship.

Lu Changsheng was unaware of Xu Ruyin’s situation.

He and Qu Zhenzhen traveled to Jin Country, to the Yinming Ghost Sect, on Qu Changge’s Spirit Treasure flying boat.

“Husband, is Quan Zhen here?”

Although Qu Zhenzhen knew that Jin Country was a Demonic Path country.

But looking at the gloomy, cloud-shrouded Yinming Ghost Sect, she couldn’t help but frown, wondering how people could live and reside in such a place.

She disliked it greatly, even feeling some repulsion.

“Yes, this is the Yinming Ghost Sect.”

Lu Changsheng knew that his wife, influenced by the Auspicious Tree, disliked places with excessive Yin Qi. He held her hand to help her isolate it and activated the communication talisman with their son, Lu Quanzhen.

Not long after, a rainbow light flew from the depths of the Yinming Ghost Sect.

“Father, Mother? Uncle?”

Lu Quanzhen was very surprised to see the three figures on the purplish-blue Demonic Boat.

He didn’t expect his father to bring his mother along.

But what surprised him most was his uncle, Qu Changge, in a broad black cloud-patterned robe, on the Demonic Boat.

“You are, Quanzhen?”

Qu Zhenzhen saw the young man call her ‘Mother’ and immediately scrutinized him.

At this time, Lu Quanzhen had disguised his appearance and was not showing his true face, so she didn’t recognize him at first glance.

“Mother, it’s me.” Lu Quanzhen’s face shimmered with a dark glow as he removed his disguise.

However, his gaze was somewhat puzzled as he looked at his father, wondering why his maternal uncle was here.

“Quanzhen, this is your maternal uncle…”

Qu Zhenzhen immediately introduced him to her son with a joyful expression.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, her expression froze, realizing that her son had recognized Qu Changge, his maternal uncle, at first glance.

“Eh?” Qu Zhenzhen looked at her son with a puzzled expression, then at her brother.

“Quanzhen, long time no see.” Qu Changge smiled at his nephew, seeing that his nephew had already achieved Core Formation.

Although from his perspective, his nephew breaking through to Core Formation at this age was nothing special.

But as an elder, he always had a slight bias when it came to his juniors.

“Let’s go inside and catch up.”

Lu Changsheng held his wife’s hand and said with a faint smile, eager to see Qu Changge’s expression once he knew his son’s cultivation Realm.

Earlier, Qu Changge had looked disgusted, feeling that he had mistreated his niece and nephew-in-law.

Now, he could show him Lu Quanzhen’s cultivation and strength under his careful tutelage.

“Father, Mother, Maternal Uncle, please come in.”

Lu Quanzhen immediately spoke, using the Formation Plate command to open a crack in the grand Formation, leading the three into a palace of the Yinming Ghost Sect.

“Quanzhen, do you usually live here? Aren’t you afraid?”

Qu Zhenzhen looked at the Yinming Ghost Sect, where chilling winds howled, ghostly mist was hazy, and even the buildings exuded a ghostly chill, and asked her son.

If she had to live here alone, she definitely wouldn’t!

“It’s alright.” Lu Quanzhen was somewhat speechless at his mother’s question.

“By the way, Quanzhen, how do you know your maternal uncle?”

Qu Zhenzhen asked the previous question, realizing that her son and brother were hiding something from her.

Lu Quanzhen immediately thought that his mother had not known when his maternal uncle returned.

He said without changing his expression: “Mother, have you forgotten? When we were little, you drew a portrait of my maternal uncle, so when I saw his appearance, I recognized him at a glance.”

“Oh.” Qu Zhenzhen suddenly understood, thinking that was indeed the case.

Lu Changsheng: “…”

Qu Changge: “…”

Both felt that only Qu Zhenzhen would believe it so easily.

Then, Qu Zhenzhen showed a series of concerns for her son, asking about his situation over the years and if he had found a suitable and beloved woman in Jin Country.

Earlier, when Lu Changsheng took Lu Quanzhen out, he said he would help his son find a suitable female Cultivator.

Although it was a perfunctory, casual remark, Qu Zhenzhen kept it in mind.

Lu Quanzhen was already adept at handling his mother’s concerns.

Qu Changge knew that his sister was very concerned about his nephew’s lifelong affairs and always hoped he would settle down.

Seeing his sister urge his nephew now, he immediately sided with his sister and said: “Quanzhen, you are no longer young. If you plan to start a family, you can settle it earlier.”

“If you have a beloved woman, your maternal uncle can help you propose marriage.”

“If you don’t have a beloved woman yet, your maternal uncle will introduce a few to you in the future.”

As long as his nephew had someone he cared for, even if the other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator, Qu Changge would be willing to help facilitate the match.

“…” Lu Quanzhen’s face twitched, and he looked at his father, hoping he would smooth things over.

Lu Changsheng was very curious about what level of female Cultivator Qu Changge, given his identity, status, and protective nature, would introduce as a Dao Companion for his son.

He chuckled lightly and said: “Ordinary female Cultivators now cannot match Quanzhen.”

Lu Quanzhen: “???”

“That is natural.” Qu Changge rarely agreed with Lu Changsheng’s statement.

“?”

Seeing that Qu Changge didn’t get the meaning of his words, Lu Changsheng picked up his tea cup, took a sip, and said calmly: “However, Quanzhen has already broken through to the Late Stage of Core Formation. He should prepare for Nascent Soul matters. There’s no need to rush into marriage.”

“What, Late Stage of Core Formation?”

Qu Changge’s expression froze upon hearing this, and his eyes, dark and deep, looked at his nephew.

Earlier, Lu Quanzhen had used a secret technique and Magic Treasure to conceal himself, so he had not seen his nephew’s cultivation Realm.

Now, his Divine Sense extended, and his Celestial Demon Eye activated, instantly seeing that his nephew’s cultivation was not merely a breakthrough to Core Formation; he had already reached the seventh layer of Core Formation.

Moreover, his magical power was profound, his Qi and blood were surging, far exceeding those of cultivators in the same Realm, and he was a Dual Cultivator of both magic and body!

“This…”

Even Qu Changge was shocked when he saw his nephew’s cultivation situation.

Back then, Lu Quanzhen was only a Qi Refining Sixth Layer Cultivator.

With his help, his cultivation broke through to Qi Refining Ninth Layer, paving the way for Foundation Establishment and Core Formation.

Now, after a hundred years, breaking through to the Golden Core Realm was already quite good.

But his nephew actually broke through from Qi Refining Ninth Layer to the seventh layer of Core Formation!?

And he was also a Dual Cultivator of both magic and body, with his Body Refining also reaching the Late Stage of Tier 3.

At this age, with this cultivation, and this Physical Body, even in the Celestial Demon Sect, he would be considered a top Genius!

Although he couldn’t compare to him.

But how many people in the world could compare to him?

At the same time, Lu Quanzhen felt a chill down his spine as his maternal uncle’s Divine Sense and gaze swept over him, as if he had been seen through, and a wave of shock filled his heart.

He thought, what is his maternal uncle’s cultivation Realm?

One must know that with the Kunpeng Body, ordinary Core Formation cultivators could not see through his Physical Body and cultivation status at all.

“Did Maternal Uncle break through to Nascent Soul?” A thought surfaced in Lu Quanzhen’s mind, full of disbelief.

After all, his own father breaking through to Nascent Soul in a hundred years was already incredible, likely due to a Reincarnation of a great power.

But what was the situation with his maternal uncle, also breaking through to Nascent Soul in just over a hundred years?

What was wrong with this world?

Even Lu Quanzhen, who had experienced great storms, couldn’t help but feel a sense of trance.

Lu Changsheng felt a surge of satisfaction when he saw Qu Changge’s expression.

Although he had no intention of showing off or slapping faces.

But as parents, showing off or bragging about their promising children in front of others always brings a sense of pride.

“Quanzhen, you’ve already broken through to the Late Stage of Core Formation?”

Qu Zhenzhen knew her son had broken through to Core Formation long ago, but she didn’t know his specific cultivation.

Hearing her husband’s words now, she looked at her son with a surprised expression.

She thought, wouldn’t that mean that in the entire Lu family, besides her husband, her son had the highest cultivation?

“Mm.” Lu Quanzhen nodded lightly, looking at his father, who was calmly drinking tea with a faint smile.

“Good, good, good! As expected of my Qu Changge’s nephew!”

Qu Changge clapped his hands happily and exclaimed in praise, feeling that he was indeed his nephew, flowing with the Qu family Bloodline, truly different!

“Quanzhen, I didn’t prepare any gifts for you on this trip. I heard these two previously persecuted you, so consider them your welcome gift from your maternal uncle!”

Qu Changge said, raising his hand slightly, and a massive hand appeared, covered in dark, eerie patterns, emanating thick Devilish Qi, and with sword-like fingernails.

The hand was wreathed in black mist, gripping two ethereal, terrified Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies.

They were none other than Wugu Old Demon and Shihai True Lord!
