Chapter 925: As long as you pass this level, you can get through the inner demons.

Chapter 922: As long as you pass my test, you can overcome your Heart Demon tribulation!

“It seems Great Palace Master knows a lot about Lu,” Lu Changsheng said calmly and indifferently.

This was the second time his identity had been completely revealed.

If it were before, he would have been very worried about his identity being exposed, bringing danger and trouble to his Family, wives, concubines, and children.

But now, he was much more composed.

The reason was simple: in the Cultivation World, unless there was an irreconcilable blood feud between two parties, it was rare for Family members, friends, or close ties to be harmed.

On one hand, it was about overt morality.

On the other hand, it was the principle of ‘one who has nothing to lose fears no one’!

After a Cultivator Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, it was extremely difficult to kill someone of the same cultivation level.

With ties like Family, Disciples, and friends, people would be wary of each other in daily interactions.

If one were to cut off all of the opponent’s Family, affiliated forces, and close ties for revenge, it would only leave them with an incredibly terrifying enemy!

With Lu Changsheng’s current strength, any person or force wanting to act against the Lu Family would have to weigh the consequences.

Especially Cultivators like Shen Jianjia, who had friends, Disciples, and forces.

However, having his identity exposed would still lead to many potential dangers.

For example, if his identities as Yangming True Lord and True Monarch Changsheng were revealed, it would certainly attract the attention and astonishment of many major forces, who would secretly investigate his situation.

They might capture Lu Family Disciples, perform Soul Searching, and use the father-son Bloodline as a medium for divination and fortune-telling.

This was also the biggest hidden danger of marrying and having children in the Cultivation World!

Why did many Cultivators remain solitary and only establish a Family and force in their later years?

“Fellow Daoist, you single-handedly captured and killed six Nascent Soul cultivators, and your prestige has shaken the Southern Wilderness. It is truly admirable,” Shen Jianjia praised after seeing Lu Changsheng admit it.

Then she sighed lightly and continued, “But Fellow Daoist’s situation also makes this Palace Master unable to fathom it, and I feel apprehensive and uneasy about the matter between my younger sister and True Lord.”

She not only rejected Lu Changsheng’s behavior of having many wives and concubines and numerous descendants.

She was also extremely wary of Lu Changsheng’s situation and background, unwilling to be entangled in Karma.

Lu Changsheng understood the meaning behind Shen Jianjia’s words.

He even understood her thoughts very well.

Unless one was fawning or trying to curry favor,

few people would be willing to marry their younger sister to someone with many wives and concubines, a mysterious background, and full of unstable factors.

Even if one’s talent, appearance, cultivation, talent, potential, etc., were all of the highest caliber in the world.

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly, knowing that if he didn’t give a reasonable explanation, Shen Jianjia’s wariness, apprehension, and vigilance towards him would not disappear.

He then nodded and said, “I understand Fellow Daoist’s concerns, but regarding Yiren’s matter, Lord Shen can rest assured.”

“I am truly sincere towards Yiren, and moreover, Yiren already has Lu’s Bloodline and descendants. How could I abandon her and her child?” Lu Changsheng said, looking directly at Shen Jianjia.

Previously, he planned to resolve Shen Yiren’s matter before proposing to meet his son, Shen Yuanming.

But now, Shen Jianjia was full of wariness and vigilance. If he couldn’t pass this test, he might find it difficult to see Shen Yiren again.

“Bloodline and descendants?” Shen Jianjia’s expression was calm, feigning ignorance.

Although there was Bloodline sensing in the Cultivation World, Shen Yuanming was the Young Lord of Goddess Palace, and his heavenly secrets were profound from a young age. Moreover, there were diviners concealing his heavenly secrets and Qi.

Unless Lu Changsheng saw Shen Yuanming, he would find it difficult to sense Shen Yuanming’s existence.

“Why does Great Palace Master pretend to be confused?” Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly and said, “Just now, Fellow Daoist asked Lu why most Cultivators dislike starting a Family, yet Lu did the opposite.”

“Then I will tell Fellow Daoist Shen!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Goddess Palace’s Great Palace Master in front of him, his aura sharp, transcendent, and refined. He met her beautiful eyes, which contained endless majesty and nobility, and uttered the four words: “Dragon Emperor Dao Body.”

In his early years, he could still use the excuse of having no great ambitions, being addicted to women, and having numerous descendants to conceal his pursuit of the Dao!

But now, no one would believe such words.

Therefore, he had to have a new explanation, a plausible reason.

And for most Cultivators, cultivation always came first!

Considering the talent and behavior he displayed, Lu Changsheng felt that the Reincarnation of a great Cultivator and the Dragon Emperor Dao Body were very good reasons.

“Dragon Emperor Dao Body?” Shen Jianjia’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as she had never heard of such a Dao Body.

But from the words “Dao Body,” she knew it was as she had guessed.

This person was not only the Reincarnation of a great Cultivator but also possessed a peerless Dao Body!

“The Dragon Emperor Dao Body is the most top-tier Physique in the Cultivation World, perfectly aligned with the Yin and Yang Dao of heaven and earth!”

“Not only does it allow for rapid progress in cultivation without Bottlenecks, but it can also assist cultivation and clear one’s thoughts through Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation.”

“Moreover, this Dao Body is most conducive to having children, and most of the descendants born from it are exceptionally talented!” Lu Changsheng slowly introduced the effects of the Dragon Emperor Dao Body.

Although this Dao Body was something Honglian had seen in ancient texts, whether it actually existed was still uncertain.

But Lu Changsheng was already adept at fabricating such things, even inventing his own unique Dragon Emperor Dao Body.

“It is precisely because of the Dragon Emperor Dao Body that as soon as Lu entered the Goddess Palace, I sensed that Yiren and I have a Bloodline descendant.”

Lu Changsheng said seriously, “Lu values Bloodline descendants very much. Since Fellow Daoist Shen has investigated Lu’s information, you must know this.”

Shen Jianjia did not doubt the explanation of “Dragon Emperor Dao Body.”

However, she suspected that this Dao Body was not as simple as the other party claimed.

Perhaps there were other effects and secrets.

However, Dao Bodies were of great importance.

No Cultivator would fully disclose their Cultivation Technique, Divine Ability, or Dao Body situation to others.

Shen Jianjia was silent for a moment and said, “This Palace Master naturally believes in Fellow Daoist’s sincere intentions.”

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, with the strength of her Goddess Palace, she could disregard the other party’s request to acknowledge his nephew, Shen Yuanming.

But the Lu Changsheng in front of her was the Reincarnation of a great Cultivator, possessing the combat power of a Nascent Soul magnate!

If the other party wanted to see his Bloodline descendant, she had no reason to refuse, and it would be difficult to refuse.

“The Dragon Emperor Dao Body aligns with the Yin and Yang Dao of heaven and earth. Dual Cultivation between male and female not only benefits oneself but also greatly helps the Dao Companion, clearing thoughts, assisting cultivation, increasing Luck, and even resolving emotional turbulences and isolating Heart Demon interference.”

Lu Changsheng continued, “So, Fellow Daoist Shen can rest assured about the matter between Yiren and me.”

“As long as you don’t interfere too much, the relationship between Yiren and I will naturally develop smoothly. At that time, Yiren’s Breakthrough to Nascent Soul will also be a matter of course.”

Lu Changsheng was not lying. After the Peach Blossom Gu was promoted to Immortal Gu, it had a “wife-prospering” effect.

As long as he and Shen Yiren cultivated more and resolved their inner knots, a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul would be no difficulty at all.

“???”

Shen Jianjia frowned slightly, feeling that this True Lord Lu’s “Dragon Emperor Dao Body” seemed a bit improper.

It had the effects of Dual Cultivation and fertility, fine.

But how could Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation also clear thoughts, increase Luck, and resolve emotional turbulences?

Why didn’t you say it could Break through Bottlenecks, improve Spiritual Root talent, and enhance the quality of the Dao Foundation?

“True Lord Lu, are you so fond of my younger sister?” Shen Jianjia asked, gazing at Lu Changsheng.

She could understand the other party wanting to marry her younger sister.

After all, whether it was appearance, talent, Cultivation Technique, personality, or potential, her younger sister could become a capable helper.

But did the Lu Changsheng in front of her truly have such deep feelings for her younger sister?

An Elder sister is like a mother.

Shen Jianjia cared deeply for her younger sister.

She felt that this True Lord Lu’s attentiveness and devotion to her younger sister were not as simple as they seemed; he must have other motives.

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

He knew that high-level female Cultivators like Shen Jianjia were more rational and did not believe in love so much.

Moreover, with preconceived notions,

his persona of having many wives and concubines and tens of thousands of Bloodline descendants meant that the other party would not believe that he was a pure love warrior.

A deeply affectionate man full of responsibility and commitment.

“On one hand, Lu is very fond of Yiren, and she is carrying my Bloodline. On the other hand, it is related to my Dragon Emperor Dao Body and my future Dao path,” Lu Changsheng continued, expressing both affection and a reason closely tied to his own interests.

Shen Jianjia paused slightly, deep in thought.

She realized that the cultivation of the other party’s Dragon Emperor Dao Body might be related to Dao Companions, Dual Cultivation, and even descendants.

“This involves Lu’s cultivation, which is currently inconvenient to disclose. If Great Palace Master is interested, you can collect information about the Dragon Emperor Dao Body yourself, and I believe you will be able to guess a little,” Lu Changsheng did not directly use persuasive words like “Holy Emperor of Central Plains” but instead let Shen Jianjia guess for herself.

On one hand, a Nascent Soul magnate like Shen Jianjia, with her extensive knowledge, was very difficult to deceive.

On the other hand, it was because of his previous discussion with Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor about dealing with Star King.

The latter had suggested that he could use the identity of “Reincarnation of the Eastern Emperor” to subdue Moon Lord and then ambush Star King!

So, in Xingxiu Sea, he might use the identity of “Reincarnation of the Eastern Emperor.”

If he were to mention the Central Continent’s Sacred Emperor to Shen Jianjia now, it would be difficult to explain later. It was better to let her guess first and then fabricate reasons based on the situation.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, Lu has already shown enough sincerity.”

Lu Changsheng said indifferently, offering no further explanation.

No matter what, he was a Reincarnation of a great Cultivator, a Nascent Soul magnate.

If his posture was too low, it would be unsightly.

“If Lu Zhenjun is truly sincere towards my younger sister, this Palace Master will naturally not interfere too much.”

Shen Jianjia was silent for a moment, then spoke, choosing to take a step back, but not making her words absolute.

“That will suffice.” Lu Changsheng knew that Shen Jianjia still harbored wariness and apprehension in her heart.

But as long as she didn’t interfere with his and Shen Yiren’s matters, it was fine.

After discussing the main business, the two didn’t chat much. After a few pleasantries, Lu Changsheng walked out of the Goddess Palace to visit Shen Yiren.

At the same time, Shen Jianjia immediately sent a message to her younger sister, Shen Yiren, about the deeds and situation of “Immortal Master Changsheng.”

This was to prevent her younger sister from being deceived by such a “Reincarnated Old Ancestor” as Lu Changsheng.

If her younger sister was unwilling, she, as an Elder sister, would naturally stand up for her!

Shen Yiren was not in her Immortal Cave bedroom; she was on the rear cliff of Shennv Peak, accompanying her son in Cultivation.

Upon receiving the series of messages from her Elder sister Shen Jianjia, Shen Yiren’s beautiful face froze, then became blank, lost in thought.

She had a very good impression of Lu Changsheng, the former Xuanmu Daoist.

He was gentle and refined, elegant, and learned.

Although he came from a Family Cultivator background, starting from humble beginnings, he had relied on unremitting effort to grow to his current level.

But now, according to the message from her Elder sister, the previous Xuanmu Daoist was merely a disguise.

This Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, or rather, Lu Zhenjun, was already married.

Moreover, he had numerous wives and concubines, hundreds of descendants, and tens of thousands of Bloodline members.

This news had a great impact on Shen Yiren.

She found it difficult to accept for a time.

After all, she had previously wondered if giving birth to her son, Shen Yuanming, would cause trouble or inconvenience for Lu Changsheng.

She hadn’t expected that he already had hundreds of descendants.

Although the Cultivation World had never lacked Cultivators who enjoyed marrying and having children.

But with her preconceived notions, this contrast was simply too great.

It was like seeing a woman who was pure, beautiful, and virtuous, but in reality, she had already been through many battles.

“Third Palace Master, Xuanmu Daoist is here to visit.”

Just as she was in a chaotic state of mind, lost in thought, a message came from the Immortal Cave steward.

Shen Yiren came back to her senses, looked at her son who was Cultivating nearby, bit her red lip lightly, and transmitted, “Yuanming, Mother has some matters. Cultivate well. If anything happens, call Mother, or inform Elder Xin.”

Previously, Shen Yiren had hoped for her son and Lu Changsheng to acknowledge their father-son relationship.

Now, she felt that her son was fine just as he was.

Shen Yuanming was Cultivating and didn’t notice his mother’s expression, merely responding, “Mother, rest assured.”

Immediately, Shen Yiren transformed into a翠绿遁光 (emerald escape light) and returned to her palace.

Upon returning to the palace, she saw the Xuanmu Daoist already waiting in the main hall.

“Greetings, Lu Zhenjun.”

Shen Yiren looked at the handsome and refined face of the Xuanmu Daoist, feeling a slight trance, and bowed, greeting him.

Through Shen Yiren’s complexion, eyes, and tone, Lu Changsheng instantly realized that Shen Jianjia had told Shen Yiren his true situation.

Although he intended to confess to her, the meaning was different if Shen Jianjia told her versus if he told her himself.

“This woman!”

Old Ancestor Lu thought to himself that this Great Palace Master of Goddess Palace was truly wary and cautious of him.

She was practically guarding against him as if he were a scoundrel.

But then he thought, as an older sister, Shen Jianjia was hundreds of years older than Shen Yiren, like a mother, so she naturally cared for her younger sister immensely.

“Yiren, I came this time to tell you something. It seems the Great Palace Master has already informed you of my situation and affairs.”

Lu Changsheng said with a gentle smile, his expression warm and refined.

“Yes, Elder Sister told me a little about Lu Zhenjun’s matters.”

Shen Yiren, in a light green dress, with her slender and delicate figure graceful and charming, skillfully brewed and poured tea for Lu Changsheng.

Looking at Lu Changsheng’s face, she pursed her red lips slightly and said, “Lu Zhenjun, please return to your true appearance.”

Previously, she felt somewhat unfamiliar with Lu Changsheng’s appearance and couldn’t see him as the former Xuanmu Daoist.

Now, knowing that Xuanmu Daoist was merely a disguised identity, her heart was much calmer, and she accepted it calmly.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng smiled in response, also not wishing to continue interacting with Shen Yiren using the Xuanmu Daoist identity.

As his voice fell, his refined and handsome face blurred for a moment, transforming into a young man as elegant as jade, incomparably handsome.

Even though Shen Yiren had seen Lu Changsheng once before.

Seeing his appearance again at this moment, she still paused, slightly lost in thought.

Too handsome, too extraordinary.

Like an Immortal who had stepped out of a painting, perfect and flawless, without a single blemish.

Especially his eyes and temperament.

His eyes were bright and profound, like the vast starry sky.

His temperament was transcendent and ethereal, like an Immortal descending to the world, as if he didn’t belong to the mortal realm, ready to ascend at any moment, carrying an ethereal Immortal charm.

Shen Yiren’s mood was originally somewhat heavy and chaotic.

But seeing Lu Changsheng before her, for some reason, she felt a sense of calm.

Lu Changsheng didn’t speak.

He gazed deeply and affectionately at Shen Yiren, meeting her eyes.

Shen Yiren’s heart fluttered, her spirit inexplicably flustered. She quickly returned to her seat, pouring tea and water for herself to conceal her inner turmoil.

“???”

Lu Changsheng looked at the uneasy beauty, thinking to himself, “Am I that scary?”

One should know that he usually tried his best to suppress his overflowing charm.

Now that he had finally shown a little, Shen Yiren reacted like this.

“I wonder what the Great Palace Master told you, Yiren?”

Lu Changsheng said with a gentle smile, his eyes warm and pure, without any hint of lust or possessiveness, as if chatting with a close female confidante he hadn’t seen in years.

“Just a few things about Zhenjun…” Shen Yiren lowered her eyes, responding softly, somewhat afraid to meet Lu Changsheng’s gaze.

“Lu apologizes to Yiren for the previous concealment.”

Lu Changsheng cupped his hands, then spoke gently about his situation and why he came to Goddess Palace.

Shen Yiren listened quietly.

She didn’t know why, but facing Lu Changsheng at this moment, her heart felt inexplicably calm, with a sense of closeness, peace, and trust.

“Although what happened that day was a coincidence, caused by the Second Palace Master, and was a fleeting romance.”

“But a day as husband and wife creates a hundred days of kindness, and through our previous interactions, Lu has found himself moved by Yiren. Therefore, I have come hoping that Yiren can give me a chance.”

Saying this, Lu Changsheng rose from his seat, came before Shen Yiren, and held her delicate hand.

Although Shen Yiren was not repelled by Lu Changsheng, her face still paled, and she instinctively struggled, saying, “Lu Zhenjun, please respect yourself!”

“If Yiren is unwilling, I will not force it.”

Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment, his gaze warm and calm as he looked at the annoyed beauty.

At these words, Shen Yiren, who was gently struggling, froze.

Immediately after, she heard Lu Changsheng say, “The only things I cannot let go of are your Nascent Soul Condensation and our child.”

“If Yiren is unwilling, once you Break through to Nascent Soul, I will leave on my own.”

Lu Changsheng said with a light chuckle, appearing very open.

After all, with his current persona of having many wives and concubines, if he still acted overly affectionate, it would be somewhat unconvincing.

It was better to hint at it and proceed gradually.

It’s not like he would leave and they could never meet again.

“Lu Zhenjun is willing to help Yiren with her Nascent Soul Condensation; Yiren feels deeply honored, but also unworthy.”

Shen Yiren said softly, her beautiful, flawless white face slightly flushed, wanting to pull away her hand held by Lu Changsheng, but she couldn’t manage to break free.

“Why speak of being unworthy? Yiren, when you Break through to Nascent Soul, you will have better conditions to take care of Yuanming in the future.”

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and said, “If Yiren accepts Lu in the future, then there will be even less talk of being unworthy.”

“Zhenjun, please don’t joke.” Shen Yiren turned her head away, her jade-like face flushed with shyness, dazzling beyond compare.

Lu Changsheng gently pulled the beautiful woman before him into his embrace and said seriously, “Yiren’s greatest Heart Demon is Lu. As long as you can overcome me, you can easily pass the Heart Demon Tribulation.”

“Zhenjun, please respect yourself!” Shen Yiren was both shy and annoyed, feeling that this Lu Zhenjun was truly shameless and lacked the demeanor of a great Cultivator.

Lu Changsheng met her annoyed gaze with a righteous expression and said, “If the Third Palace Master cannot even accept and face this, how can she overcome her mental obstacles and pass the Heart Demon Tribulation!”
