Chapter 899: Heavenly Infant Tree, Plans for Training!
“This is!?”
When Qu Changge took out the palm interwoven with Devilish Qi, two ethereal Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies appeared, astonishing all three present.
Lu Changsheng instantly recognized that this demonic claw palm was a Magic Treasure!
Its grade was very high; it should be a High Grade Spirit Treasure!
Moreover, he immediately recognized that these two ethereal Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies were precisely Wugu Old Demon and Shihai True Lord, who had previously harmed his son.
Previously, he had been preparing to use the intelligence of the Town Sea Seven Sects to divine and calculate, to find the two, avenge his son, and also to rob the rich to help the poor.
Unexpectedly, the two were directly dealt with by his cheap brother-in-law.
According to his investigation, Shihai True Lord’s strength was not ordinary.
He belonged to the old guard of Nascent Soul Cultivators, possessing extraordinary combat methods, on the same level as Peace Ocean True Lord.
Now that Qu Changge had captured the opponent’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body, it indicated that Qu Changge’s strength had already surpassed many veteran Nascent Souls, not inferior to his own.
One must know that his ability to easily capture Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies, besides the top-tier lethality of the Nine Tribulation Sword, also relied on his Middle Stage Fourth-Rank Body Refining, the Mi Chen Banner, the Soul Shaking Bell, and the Star Realm Compass.
Otherwise, facing a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Thousand Blades True Lord, who was skilled in escape, without the Mi Chen Banner, once the Seal was broken, it would be difficult to pursue.
If he didn’t have Middle Stage Fourth-Rank Body Refining, facing a do-or-die situation or the self-destruction of their magical body, he wouldn’t be able to handle it calmly, and the opponent might escape.
“Judging by Qu Changge’s performance, he doesn’t lack Spirit Treasures. He previously had a cave heaven magical treasure, and this demonic claw is also a High Grade Spirit Treasure with the effect of imprisoning Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies.”
“Moreover, he has a Nascent Soul helper by his side, so it’s normal for him to capture Wugu and Shihai’s Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies.”
Lu Changsheng mused inwardly, but still couldn’t help but marvel at the strength and foundation of this cheap brother-in-law.
He secretly wondered if he had a cheat, did the other party also have a cheat?
Otherwise, breaking through to Nascent Soul in just over a hundred years, and possessing such a profound family background, was simply inconceivable!
“Could Qu Changge be the Reincarnation of some Old Ancestor from the Celestial Demon Sect? But his appearance doesn’t seem like an old monster reincarnated and re-Cultivated?”
Lu Changsheng was very puzzled. He had originally wanted to show off a bit in front of Qu Changge, but now he was the one being shown off to by the other party.
“Wugu Old Demon, Shihai True Lord!?”
Lu Quanzhen looked at the two Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies, shrouded in black mist within his uncle’s Spirit Treasure, and was stunned, completely bewildered.
Wugu Old Demon and Shihai True Lord were both Nascent Soul True Lords of the Star Constellation Sea.
How could they now be reduced to mere Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies, weak, ethereal, and filled with terror?
Lu Quanzhen looked at his uncle with a bewildered and incredulous expression.
The shock and impact this long-lost uncle brought him today were simply too immense!
“Brother, are these the Spirit Bodies of Nascent Soul Cultivators?”
Qu Zhenzhen also looked surprised and bewildered.
Not only was her brother a Nascent Soul Cultivator, but he had also captured the Spirit Bodies of two Nascent Soul Cultivators?
Didn’t the books say that Nascent Soul Cultivators possessed the ability to Possess and re-Cultivate, and for their Nascent Soul to emerge from the body?
Once the Nascent Soul emerged, it could ignore all kinds of magical arts and Restrictions, travel through the void, and be difficult to kill.
How could her brother have captured them?
And her brother said these two had persecuted Quan Zhen.
What was going on?
Qu Zhenzhen felt her head spinning, unable to process it all at once.
“Indeed, it’s these two.”
Qu Changge said with a faint smile, very pleased with the surprised expressions of Lu Changsheng and his nephew.
He felt it was worth his trip to the Star Constellation Sea and the time spent searching for Shihai True Lord’s whereabouts.
“Quan Zhen, how do you plan to deal with these two?”
Qu Changge had already sentenced the two to death.
The reason he hadn’t killed them immediately was simply because he felt that would be too easy for them.
“You are… Zhao Wuzhen?”
The weak and powerless Wugu and Shihai, covered in black mist, looked at Lu Quanzhen and instantly recognized him as Zhao Wuzhen, whom they had brought into the Kunpeng Nest back then.
The two had previously wondered why they had suffered such an unprovoked disaster.
Now they understood.
However, they were still full of doubt and confusion.
Wasn’t the other party a True Disciple of the Celestial Demon Sect?
How could a True Disciple of the Celestial Demon Sect provoke such a Cultivator for revenge?
A prospective Saint of the Celestial Demon Sect, or a descendant of a Nascent Soul old monster, would be more like it!
Moreover, wasn’t this kid supposed to have died in the Kunpeng Nest?
However, the two had no time to think much at this moment and immediately chose to beg for mercy: “Young friend, it’s a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding. During the incident at the Kunpeng Nest, you were in danger, and we were very worried, trying every means, but we couldn’t rescue you. Thankfully, you’re unharmed.”
“Yes, when we were together back then, I already regarded you as a Disciple, and I was thinking of continuing our master-Disciple relationship.”
Wugu Old Demon and Shihai True Lord quickly said to Lu Quanzhen, their Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies trying to break free from the demonic claw and escape into the void.
But the hazy black mist, like dense chains and demonic phantoms, made it difficult for them to move, and their bodies grew weaker and weaker.
“Heh.” Lu Quanzhen sneered.
He wasn’t a three-year-old child; how could he believe their words?
Back in the Kunpeng Nest, if not for the Devil Fetus Parasitic Great Art and the backup measures his Father had left on him, which helped stabilize his Divine Soul, he would have already died at the hands of the Kunpeng hatchling. How could he be alive now?
Under such circumstances, how could he easily let the two of them go?
“Thank you, Uncle. Since these two have fallen into your hands, it is naturally up to you to dispose of them.”
Lu Quanzhen said with cupped hands, knowing that Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies were extremely rare, condensed from the Origin of a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s cultivation.
To simply destroy them would be too wasteful.
Although his Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art had Divine Abilities and secret arts that allowed him to devour Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies and use them for Cultivation, the same applied.
Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies were too precious, not something he could currently control, so he dared not be greedy.
Qu Changge was very satisfied with his nephew’s calm and neither humble nor arrogant attitude.
He didn’t mind giving the two Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies to his nephew Lu Quanzhen for Cultivation.
However, as a Cultivator of a top-tier Demonic Technique, he was very aware of the hidden dangers brought by the rapid Cultivation of a Cultivation Technique like the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art.
For his nephew, at this age and cultivation level, it was already quite astonishing, and to further enhance it by devouring Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies was not a good thing.
Moreover, his sister Qu Zhenzhen was right there, so he couldn’t discuss matters related to the Cultivation of the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art.
“Later, I will completely Seal and imprison their Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies, then hand them over to you for disposal.”
Qu Changge said so, clenching his hand.
Immediately, the huge demonic claw before them surged with black mist, engulfing Wugu and Shihai, and then merged into his right hand.
“This Spirit Treasure is very compatible with him, like a Natal Spirit Treasure.”
Lu Changsheng, as a Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner with the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art, also discerned some clues.
However, based on his judgment, Qu Changge’s cultivation had definitely not reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, making it impossible for him to possess a Natal Spirit Treasure of this level.
Therefore, this Spirit Treasure was most likely the Natal Spirit Treasure of a Cultivator who practiced a Cultivation Technique inherited from Qu Changge’s lineage.
“Brother-in-law, when you dealt with Wugu Old Demon, did you see a Heavenly Infant Fruit Tree on his island?”
Lu Changsheng cupped his hands and asked Qu Changge.
Besides the grudge for his son Lu Quanzhen, he also had some thoughts of robbing the rich to help the poor when he planned to deal with Wugu Old Demon and Shihai True Lord, especially regarding the Heavenly Infant Fruit Tree on Wugu Old Demon’s island.
With the ten thousand spirit bottle, he could steadily obtain Heavenly Infant Fruit from this Heavenly Infant Tree.
“You mean this tree?”
Qu Changge lightly patted his palm, his expression indifferent.
Immediately, a small tree appeared, about three feet three inches tall, entirely light gold, without branches or leaves, with only a fist-sized fruit at its top, shaped like a sleeping infant.
“Heavenly Infant Fruit!” Lu Changsheng instantly recognized that this small tree was the famous Heavenly Infant Tree!
However, this tree had been uprooted, causing its vitality to dim, and the fruit at its top had not matured.
If consumed, it would at most increase the chance of forming a Nascent Soul by ten percent, and could not be used to refine the Hua Ying Pill.
“This tree is useful to me, can brother-in-law trade it to me?”
Lu Changsheng immediately cupped his hands and said to Qu Changge, then subtly sent a message to his wife, Qu Zhenzhen.
“Brother.” Qu Zhenzhen heard this and knew that this tree was of great use to her husband, so she immediately looked at her brother with pleading eyes.
Although Qu Changge was displeased with Lu Changsheng, his sister’s words prompted him to wave his hand, not even picking the Heavenly Infant Fruit from the top of the small tree, and threw it to Lu Changsheng.
“Thank you, brother-in-law!”
Although Lu Changsheng was very displeased with Qu Changge.
But he had to admit, this cheap brother-in-law was very generous.
Immediately, the Yin Yang Creation Scripture transformed into the Treasure Cauldron Medicine King Scripture, using its vast medicinal power to sustain the vitality of the Heavenly Infant Tree, preventing it from withering.
He planned to water it with the ten thousand spirit bottle later to ripen this Heavenly Infant Fruit.
“Thank you, Brother.” Qu Zhenzhen also thanked him joyfully, then looked at Lu Changsheng, wondering if he needed her help.
The Heaven and Earth Longevity Method she Cultivated had a good effect on promoting the growth of Spirit Medicine.
Qu Changge smiled faintly and waved his hand, completely unconcerned about the Heavenly Infant Fruit Tree.
He was already a Nascent Soul, so he didn’t need Nascent Soul resources.
As for handing it over to the Sect and exchanging it for contribution points, he didn’t need that either.
If he had any needs, he could directly approach the Celestial Demon Ancestral Master, who would arrange it for him.
However, seeing Lu Changsheng’s methods, he was somewhat surprised.
He wondered, how did the other party’s magical Qi aura change?
“Heavenly Infant Fruit Tree?”
Lu Quanzhen listened to the conversation between his Father and uncle about the Heavenly Infant Fruit Tree, and his expression became somewhat dazed.
He realized that not only had Wugu Old Demon been captured alive by his uncle, but the Wumo Island of the other party had also been annihilated by his uncle.
At this moment, his heart was complex, and he truly didn’t know what to say.
He had thought that after breaking through to the Core Formation Late Stage, if he were to meet his uncle again, he would be able to help him.
Who knew that his uncle’s strength had already reached a level he couldn’t hope to match.
Moreover, he had an indescribable sense of daze and disorientation.
Breaking through to the Core Formation Late Stage at his age could be considered outstanding among peers anywhere!
At least in Jiang Country, Jin Country, and Liang Country, it was rarely seen in history.
But now, his own Father, in just over a hundred years, had broken through to Nascent Soul and single-handedly captured and killed six great Nascent Soul True Lords!
His uncle Qu Changge, also in just over a hundred years, had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, achieving the astonishing feat of capturing Wugu Old Demon and Shihai True Lord alive.
What was happening to this world?
Could it be that this is the true world of Prodigies?
Or is it that Uncle is also a Reincarnation of a mighty being?
“Quan Zhen, what happened with those two trying to harm you just now?”
At this moment, Qu Zhenzhen seriously asked her son.
Although she had been deceived by some of Lu Quanzhen and Lu Changsheng’s words, having lived for so many years, how could she not know that Cultivating Immortals was very dangerous?
Her son had been out for many years, and his Cultivation had advanced so rapidly; how could there be no danger?
“Uh…” Lu Quanzhen immediately downplayed the matter of the Kunpeng Nest, saying that he had been led into the Secret Realm by the two and encountered danger.
However, blessings and misfortunes are intertwined, and Father arrived in time, so he turned ill fortune into good, obtained a great Opportunity, and his Cultivation Breakthrough.
Just like that, the four of them chatted idly.
It was just that with Qu Zhenzhen present, the three of them spoke more reservedly, slightly avoiding certain topics.
After a while, Lu Changsheng took Qu Zhenzhen to see Meng Xiaochun, Nangong Mili, and Lu Minghuang, leaving Lu Quanzhen and Qu Changge, the uncle and nephew, to chat.
He believed that with Qu Changge’s personality, he would definitely not mistreat his son.
And it was true.
Qu Changge inquired about Lu Quanzhen’s situation with concern, marveling at his unexpected growth.
He threw all the gains from Wugu Old Demon and Shihai True Lord to his nephew, telling him that there was a Hua Ying Pill inside.
The Hua Ying Pill, even for a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Qu Changge, was extremely precious and highly valuable.
Yet, he directly gave both of their Storage Rings to his nephew, helping him pave the way to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Lu Quanzhen saw his uncle, just like a hundred years ago, giving him a pile of resources and good things, and his heart felt heavy. He said, “Uncle, you said back then that if I broke through to Core Formation and condensed a High Grade Golden Core within a hundred years, you would let me help you…”
Qu Changge patted his nephew’s shoulder and said lightly, “Quan Zhen, I am very pleased that you have achieved so much, but the matters concerning your uncle are not something you can participate in at the moment. Besides, your uncle has no trouble and can solve it himself.”
His future destiny could only rely on himself; others simply couldn’t help.
Unless a Nascent Soul True Lord was willing to go all out to protect him.
But such a thing was impossible, so he could only rely on himself.
Lu Quanzhen remained silent.
“Tell Uncle about your experiences over the past hundred years.”
Qu Changge said with a smile, wanting to know how his nephew Cultivated the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art, how he survived the Kunpeng Nest, and how he grew to his current level.
Although his time with his uncle was extremely short, and this was only their second meeting.
However, the other party showed care without expecting anything in return, and Lu Quanzhen could feel his genuine concern, so he recounted his experiences over the years.
From breaking through Foundation Establishment, going to Jin Country for training, Cultivating the Kun Peng Heaven Devouring Magic Skill under dangerous circumstances, discovering the problems with this Cultivation Technique, to being severely injured and half-crippled, then successfully Cultivating the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Art with Father’s help, breaking through Core Formation, and heading to the Star Constellation Sea, and so on.
Even Qu Changge couldn’t help but sigh when he heard about his nephew’s many near-death experiences.
Although he himself often faced near-death situations during the trials arranged by the Celestial Demon Ancestral Master.
He even fell into critical conditions multiple times and was saved by the Celestial Demon Ancestral Master.
Perhaps he had grown accustomed, numb, or was influenced by the Tianmo Body and the Demon Lord’s blood, he no longer regarded himself as a normal person or compared himself to others.
Lu Changsheng and Qu Zhenzhen met Meng Xiaochun and their daughter, Lu Mengchan.
“Sister Zhenzhen.”
Meng Xiaochun had lived in Bihu Mountain for many years and naturally knew Qu Zhenzhen.
Although their relationship wasn’t very close, it was still good.
“Father, Aunt Zhenzhen.” Lu Mengchan called out softly, her gentle and delicate nature much favored and loved by Qu Zhenzhen.
After some catching up, Lu Changsheng didn’t rush to see Nangong Mili, but instead, in Meng Xiaochun’s Immortal Cave, he planted the Heaven Infant Tree he had just acquired.
“Zhenzhen.” Lu Changsheng called out to his wife; usually, the ten thousand spirit bottle was entrusted to her.
Qu Zhenzhen immediately took out the ten thousand spirit bottle from her waist pouch, and a drop of Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew dripped onto the Heaven Infant Fruit Tree.
The fruit tree, which had been significantly dim in vitality, instantly became vibrant, successfully extending its life.
However, a single drop of Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew was not enough to support the maturation of this Heaven Infant Fruit.
“This Heaven Infant Fruit Tree isn’t good enough; one tree only yields one fruit, and it requires many drops of Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew to cultivate one fruit.”
Lu Changsheng frowned, feeling that even though his Alchemy skill had reached the fourth stage and he could refine multiple Hua Ying Pills in one furnace, the cost was still enormous.
The main reason was that Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew, besides cultivating spiritual plants and Spirit Medicine, now had another important function.
Helping the Nine Tribulation Sword recover quickly!
During the previous Liang Yue War, Lu Changsheng had repeatedly used the Nine Tribulation Sword, and to help it recover quickly from its consumption, he had used two drops of Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew.
This meant that he had to always keep a few drops of Myriad Spirit Ginseng Dew ready for the Nine Tribulation Sword’s use.
Under these circumstances, trying to cultivate the Heaven Infant Fruit Tree, the five elements spiritual fruit tree, jade marrow gold ganoderma, and other Spirit Medicine and spiritual plants was simply not enough.
After planting the Heaven Infant Fruit Tree, Lu Changsheng went to see Nangong Mili and his son Lu Minghuang.
Nangong Mili was somewhat displeased when she saw Lu Changsheng coming to Yinming Ghost Sect to visit her, bringing another woman.
And she was even a Foundation Establishment female Cultivator.
This scoundrel’s taste was getting lower and lower!
Lu Changsheng immediately caught Nangong Mili’s mood and introduced, “This is Quan Zhen’s mother.”
Hearing that she was Lu Quanzhen’s mother, Nangong Mili immediately became much more polite.
After all, Lu Quanzhen had taken good care of Lu Minghuang over the years and had not competed with his son for power within the Yinming Ghost Sect.
Now seeing Qu Zhenzhen, she was naturally willing to humble herself and actively seek good relations.
Moreover, just based on Lu Quanzhen’s strength, the Qu Zhenzhen in front of her was worth her serious attention.
That night.
Lu Changsheng hosted a small banquet at the Yinming Ghost Sect, a family gathering for just a few of them.
Qu Changge’s impression of Lu Changsheng had improved somewhat due to Lu Changsheng’s cultivation and care for his nephew.
However, seeing this scoundrel surrounded by women wherever he went, and his sister not minding at all, he felt annoyed.
He decided to avoid the sight altogether, asking Lu Quanzhen to arrange an Immortal Cave for him to rest, and to completely Seal and deal with the Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies of Shihai True Lord and Wugu Old Demon.
After eating and drinking to their fill, Lu Quanzhen spoke to Lu Changsheng, stating that Minghuang could now take over here.
With Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochun overseeing things, he didn’t need to worry too much.
Now that he had broken through to the Core Formation Late Stage, he wanted to go out and train to solidify his Realm and prepare for the future Nascent Soul Stage.
Whether it was Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, or Core Formation, Cultivators generally began preparing for the next Realm once they reached the Late Stage, not waiting until the Peak of their current Realm.
“Training…”
Lu Changsheng had long expected his son Lu Quanzhen to want to go out and train, but he hadn’t expected him to be so eager.
He had previously obtained a Hua Ying Pill in Zhenhai Sect.
With the gains from this Liang Yue War, it could be said that his son Lu Quanzhen’s Nascent Soul resources were already gathered, so there was no need to worry.
Coupled with his Kunpeng Body, it could be said that his future path to the Nascent Soul Stage would be very smooth.
The only thing to worry about was the Heart Demon tribulation!
He pondered for a moment and asked, “Where do you plan to go for training?”
Now the Liang Yue War had settled.
For Lu Quanzhen, there weren’t many places left to train in Jiang Country and Jin Country.
Although the Star Constellation Sea was good, the hidden danger of the kunpeng egg still existed.
If Lu Quanzhen appeared, he might still cause trouble.
“Son plans to go to Yuan Country first, then to Yan Yang Country,” Lu Quanzhen said.
Yuan Country was one of the major Cultivation countries closer to Jiang Country, and it bordered the Endless Desert.
Through Yuan Country, one could travel to Yan Yang Country, one of the top major countries in the Southern Wilderness Northern Region.
Here, he would surely be able to witness a vaster world.
As for the center of the Southern Wilderness, the more prosperous Southern Wilderness Central Domain, it was somewhat distant for him and not suitable to go to now.
However, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this, feeling that Yuan Country was fine, but Yan Yang Country was too far away.
Once his son encountered danger or an unexpected situation, he would have difficulty rushing there.
He couldn’t help but think of his cheap brother-in-law, Qu Changge.
He felt that if his son really wanted to go out and train, he could see if Qu Changge had any suggestions.
The other party came from the Celestial Demon Sect in the Southern Wilderness Central Domain and had a greater understanding of this land.
He could even consider letting his son go to the Southern Wilderness Central Domain with Qu Changge.
Although he himself did not go to such prosperous places, preferring to reside in a corner, he recognized that a dragon is hard to emerge from shallow waters.
For his son, who possessed the Kunpeng Body, Jiang Country, and even the entire Southern Wilderness Northern Region, were now somewhat small.
He needed a vaster world to go higher and further.
Therefore, the Southern Wilderness Central Domain was the best choice.
Of course, the most important reason was having Qu Changge as his uncle!
Although Lu Changsheng was slightly displeased with Qu Changge’s poor attitude as his cheap brother-in-law.
He had to admit that the other party’s care for Qu Zhenzhen, and his love for his two nephews and niece out of affection for his sister, was completely genuine.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng was very relieved to entrust his son to Qu Changge’s care.
With Qu Changge, a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Celestial Demon Sect, a top force in the Southern Wilderness, looking after him, there was no need to worry about his son getting into big trouble in the Central Domain.
“Do you know your uncle’s origin?”
Lu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe, stood side by side with his son, hands clasped behind his back, and asked.
“Uncle didn’t elaborate, but your son has some faint guesses,” Lu Quanzhen said softly.
“Your uncle is from the Celestial Demon Sect.”
Lu Changsheng directly said, “Although Father doesn’t know the specifics, I know that your uncle’s status in the Celestial Demon Sect is quite extraordinary.”
“If you want to go out and train, you can listen to your uncle’s advice, or go on a trip to the Southern Wilderness Central Domain with your uncle.”
“Our Jiang Country is just a corner of the Southern Wilderness Northern Region; going to places like Yan Yang Country is not as good as going to the Central Domain Holy City.”
Lu Changsheng expressed his thoughts to his son.
