Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 937: True Lord Qingluan is planning a war to come!
Chapter 934: Qingluan Zhenjun’s Plan, War is Imminent!
The Nanhua Cultivation World is vast.
Even though the Tianhuo City Lord is a Nascent Soul cultivator, he has limited knowledge of the news from other regions.
He only knows of a few sensational rumors and major events that shook a region.
“Reporting, Senior, there have been many major news events in the Central Region these past few years. Not long ago, a Fourth-Rank Black Phoenix in the Transverse Rift Valley was killed. Its Old Ancestor emerged from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and went on a killing spree in the Transverse Rift Valley, slaying multiple Demon Kings and Nascent Soul True Lords.”
“Seven years ago, a Secret Realm appeared in the Central Region, suspected to be the Immortal Cave Secret Realm of the legendary Grand Cultivator “Ling Tian Zhenjun” from five thousand years ago.”
The Tianhuo City Lord relayed all the news and rumors he knew about the Central Region, regardless of their veracity.
As the center and most prosperous place of the Nanhua Cultivation World, the Opportunities and major events in the Central Region far surpassed those of the other four regions.
For instance, conflicts between Nascent Soul-level forces, or the killing of one or two Early Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, would not cause a stir or sensation.
“Is there any news related to the Xuanmen Five Sects and the Demonic Path Seven Sects?” Qingluan Zhenjun inquired.
She had always been very concerned about the news of the Demonic Path Catastrophe.
If the Catastrophe were to appear, a Loose Cultivator like her would undoubtedly be greatly affected and would need to make plans and preparations in advance.
And the ducks know when the spring river warms.
If the Demonic Path Catastrophe was about to erupt, the Xuanmen Five Sects and the Demonic Path Seven Sects would certainly show signs.
“Senior, in recent years, wars have been continuous in several regions, and many forces in the Central Region have also erupted in battle. However, the Xuanmen Five Sects and the Demonic Path Seven Sects have been extremely quiet, with only their Disciples clashing, and no Nascent Soul grandmasters making a move.”
The Tianhuo City Lord instantly realized what Qingluan Zhenjun wanted to know and spoke up.
He wondered if the Qingluan Zhenjun in front of him was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect, Cultivating Divine Ability here and breaking through with the help of the Divine Fire?
After all, the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect was known for its fire-element Divine Abilities, which were somewhat similar to the Divine Ability Qingluan Zhenjun had just displayed.
“Wars are continuous in various regions, but the Xuanmen Five Sects and the Demonic Path Seven Sects have shown no movement.”
Qingluan Zhenjun’s expression slightly condensed, feeling that this situation was very abnormal.
She continued to inquire about news related to the Southern Wilderness Northern Region.
Compared to the Central Region, there was very little news that could reach the Eastern Region.
“I heard that not long ago, a new Nascent Soul grandmaster named Yang Ming Zhenjun was born in the Northern Region.”
The Tianhuo City Lord said, pondering what events and major news there were in the Northern Region.
Qingluan Zhenjun’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she asked for detailed information about this Yang Ming Zhenjun.
However, the Tianhuo City Lord did not know much about Yang Ming Zhenjun.
He only knew that this person’s origin was mysterious, suspected to be the Reincarnation of a Grand Cultivator, and that he captured and killed six Nascent Soul cultivators alone, possessing formidable strength.
“Captured and killed six Nascent Soul cultivators alone!”
Qingluan Zhenjun was surprised in her heart.
Only thirty-four years had passed since the end of the Han Sha Illusion Domain and her separation from Lu Changsheng.
Even if Lu Changsheng broke through to Nascent Soul not long after their separation, his current cultivation and combat power were still incredibly astonishing and unbelievable.
It should be noted that she had broken through to Nascent Soul seventy years ago, and it was only by relying on Nirvana Rebirth and digesting the Opportunity from the Han Sha Illusion Domain that she quickly broke through to the Nascent Soul middle stage.
But Lu Changsheng had reached such a level in just over thirty years.
Moreover, the combat power he displayed even subtly surpassed her.
“As expected of a top-tier Grand Cultivator’s Reincarnation.”
Qingluan Zhenjun was shocked, thinking of his terrifying combat power when he was at Core Formation and could contend with a Nascent Soul, and continued to inquire about Yang Ming Zhenjun’s battle achievements.
However, the Tianhuo City Lord only knew that such a Nascent Soul grandmaster had appeared in the Southern Wilderness Northern Region and was not aware of the details.
In response, Qingluan Zhenjun could only give up and inquire about other news.
A moment later, Qingluan Zhenjun made a decision for the future: return to Jiang Country!
First, a few years ago, she vaguely sensed that Lu Changsheng had broken the feather she gave him, indicating that he had something to ask her.
Based on his current strength, it shouldn’t be a dangerous situation, but rather something to discuss.
If she returned, she could use his strength to contend with Luofu Zi.
Second, it was to join forces with Lu Changsheng to settle the old grudges from the Han Sha Illusion Domain.
Having grown from a Loose Cultivator to her current level, she was naturally not a kind-hearted person.
The encirclement in the Han Sha Illusion Domain, the subsequent ambush, and the secret schemes were all remembered in her heart.
Now that she had the strength, she would naturally settle them one by one.
Especially after her previous battle, her foundation was almost depleted.
The best way to quickly accumulate resources was to settle accounts!
Third, her Qingluan Army was almost completely wiped out, and her Five Virtues Qi was exhausted. She had to find a place to recuperate and re-gather her Five Virtues Qi.
Although with her current cultivation, she could rebuild an Immortal City and gather Five Virtues Qi anywhere.
However, gathering Five Virtues Qi required performing virtuous deeds and gaining popular support.
If she were to establish an Immortal City here in the Eastern Region, she would need to spend a lot of time accumulating fame, which would be like starting everything from scratch.
If she returned to Jiang Country, relying on her early fame and foundation, she could quickly establish a new Loose Cultivator Holy Land and gather Five Virtues Qi!
Qingluan Zhenjun did not immediately return to Jiang Country in the Northern Region.
Instead, she went to Tianhuo Immortal City, where Tianhuo Zhenjun was located.
Although she had broken through to the Nascent Soul middle stage, her foundation was almost exhausted in the previous battle, and she lacked corresponding means!
She planned to process all the resources on her person and exchange them for usable items to repair Spirit Treasures and condense Divine Abilities.
Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire under the Divine Fire Ridge was something she was determined to obtain.
She planned to prepare for a while, then subdue and refine this fire.
With Tianhuo Zhenjun, Qingluan Zhenjun’s arrival at Tianhuo Immortal City was equivalent to indirectly taking charge of this Immortal City.
However, Tianhuo Zhenjun’s cultivation and strength were very ordinary, and Tianhuo Immortal City was just an ordinary Fourth-Rank Immortal City with limited financial resources.
But with the help of Tianhuo Immortal City, she had many conveniences whether it was collecting, processing resources, or gathering information.
During this process, Qingluan Zhenjun further inquired and gained detailed knowledge of Yang Ming Zhenjun’s intelligence.
“In just half a year, he pacified the Liang Yue War, captured and killed six Nascent Soul cultivators alone, and breached Beast God Mountain.”
Qingluan Zhenjun was shocked when she saw the detailed battle achievements of Lu Changsheng.
She didn’t pay attention to Nascent Soul cultivators like Heavenly Silkworm True Lord, You Yue Saintess, and Jiaolong Shengzi.
But she still highly recognized Nine Spirits True Lord.
Especially with Nine Spirits True Lord stationed at Beast God Mountain, the fact that he, Xuan Jian Zhenjun, and Jue Jian Zhenjun managed to breach Beast God Mountain in such a short time was astonishing and incredible.
She had also heard of Thousand Blades True Lord from the Yuan Country’s Seven Kill Sect.
She knew that this was an old-timer Nascent Soul cultivator, skilled in stealth and assassination.
Such an old-timer Nascent Soul cultivator was actually captured and killed by Lu Changsheng!
“Yang Ming Zhenjun’s strength, even if not a match for Luofu Zi, is enough to contend head-on!”
Qingluan Zhenjun realized that Lu Changsheng’s combat power was higher than she had imagined.
It was comparable to a Cultivator at the fifth, or even sixth, layer of Nascent Soul.
If she and Lu Changsheng joined forces, they might be able to defeat Luofu Zi.
“However, as a top-tier grandmaster in the Northern Region, this person has extensive connections and many friends, so he should not be underestimated.”
Qingluan Zhenjun thought of the helpers Luofu Zi had invited back then, and her expression turned cold.
Her Phoenix Legacy possessed means to avert disasters and conceal heavenly secrets.
The first time she encountered Luofu Zi, she paid a heavy price to escape from him.
But the other party had somehow invited a top-tier diviner who was able to repeatedly deduce her whereabouts.
Moreover, several Nascent Soul cultivators who blocked and ambushed her along the way were also invited by Luofu Zi.
“So many years have passed, and Luofu Zi has long since recovered from his injuries. Seeing Yang Ming Zhenjun’s rise to fame, he might go looking for trouble with him, hoping to obtain the Opportunity in his hands to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.”
Qingluan Zhenjun muttered in her heart as she looked at the information in her hand, suspecting that Luofu Zi would actively seek trouble with Lu Changsheng.
Not just because of her connection.
But also for the Nascent Soul Late Stage Opportunity.
After all, Yang Ming Zhenjun’s displayed situation would inevitably attract the covetousness of some Cultivators.
“I must return to Jiang Country as soon as possible!”
Originally, Qingluan Zhenjun planned to Cultivate her Divine Ability techniques to the extreme in Tianhuo Immortal City and Divine Fire Ridge, and make all preparations before returning to Jiang Country.
But now, she planned to subdue and refine the Divine Fire from Divine Fire Ridge, and repair her Spirit Treasure, then return directly.
Lu Changsheng rode the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale and returned to the Penglai Island sea area with Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor.
He did not go to the Goddess Palace but came to Penglai Immortal City.
He vaguely realized that many places on Shennv Peak were controlled by Shen Jianjia.
His every move with Shen Yiren in the Goddess Palace was under her surveillance.
In this situation, it would be better to ask Shen Yiren to come to Penglai Immortal City.
Moreover, there was someone in the Goddess Palace he really didn’t want to face.
The Second Palace Master, Shen Baishuang!
If he were to meet Shen Baishuang and she suddenly attacked, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t know how to react or handle it.
However, as he walked through Penglai Immortal City, Lu Changsheng heard a piece of news.
The Young Miss of Zhujian Mountain Villa, now the Palace Master “Lord Yuanwei’s” younger sister, Lin Lanxi, had broken through to Nascent Soul and was preparing for her Nascent Soul ceremony.
Shen Baishuang, as the wife of the Zhujian Mountain Villa’s Master, was at Zhujian Mountain Villa, in charge of organizing the ceremony.
“She’s not here?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, feeling much more relaxed.
After all, through their interactions, he felt that Shen Baishuang was not quite right in the head.
If they met again, she would very likely cause him trouble.
Although he wasn’t afraid.
But she was, after all, Shen Yiren’s older sister, and she also had Shen Jianjia as a big sister.
“However, the Goddess Palace’s connections are truly extensive.”
Lu Changsheng suddenly discovered that besides having Shen Jianjia, a Nascent Soul grandmaster, the Goddess Palace also had extremely broad connections.
The current grandmaster of the Dan Alliance, the number one Alchemist in Xingxiu Sea, had once pursued Shen Jianjia.
Although they didn’t get together, their relationship was still good.
The Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, Shen Baishuang, married the current Master of Zhujian Mountain Villa.
Although Lord Yuanwei was not as good as his father.
But his Nascent Soul cultivation and Fourth-Rank Artifact Refining level were enough to maintain the foundation of Zhujian Mountain Villa, making it a first-class force in Xingxiu Sea.
As for the Third Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, she was even more extraordinary.
Her child’s father was a famous Nascent Soul grandmaster in the Southern Wilderness Northern Region, the Grand Supreme Elder of the top-tier force “Town Sea Seven Sects” in Xingxiu Sea.
After receiving Lu Changsheng’s message, Shen Yiren came from the Goddess Palace to Penglai Immortal City.
She wore a simple light green dress, her figure graceful and slender, with a light veil hat covering her face, making her appearance unclear.
But just by her graceful curves and noble, elegant, transcendent aura, one could tell that she was a peerless beauty.
“Life is like a first meeting. In this scene, I can’t help but think of the first time I met you, Yiren, beautiful and moving.”
Lu Changsheng looked at Shen Yiren, who was dressed similarly to their first meeting, and said with a smile, his eyes pure, peaceful, and full of admiration.
Shen Yiren’s heart paused slightly, and she couldn’t help but think of their first meeting years ago. She softly said, “Is Lord Lu done with his matters?”
Regarding Lu Changsheng, she still found it difficult to maintain the relaxed and carefree mindset she had in earlier years.
“I’ve finished some things, but there are still many more.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile, inviting Shen Yiren to rest at the small courtyard he rented.
Although the Qingjiao King’s favor had been repaid.
But there were still a lot of things in Jiang Country waiting for him to go back and deal with.
“If Lord Lu has matters, you can attend to them first. There’s no need to spend too much time on Yiren.”
Shen Yiren knew Lu Changsheng’s situation.
With a Family full of wives and concubines, and many children and descendants.
In such a situation, he must have many things to attend to without even thinking.
“How has Yiren’s mood been these past few days?” Lu Changsheng asked with a smile.
“With Lord Lu’s help earlier, it’s much better now.” Shen Yiren said softly.
Seeing Lu Changsheng again and knowing his situation, although it caused a spiritual shock to her.
But knowing and facing it, and then experiencing several Heart Demon illusions, she felt much more relieved and at ease.
“Oh?” Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, and they went to the rented small courtyard to drink tea and chat, then he performed the Heart Demon secret art for her.
Indeed, Shen Yiren’s situation had improved significantly.
Facing this situation, Lu Changsheng felt that as long as he continued to perform targeted illusion simulations, there wouldn wouldn’t be a big problem.
For example, if she couldn’t let go of the White Dew Palace matter, then let her experience it a few more times, or even with more variations.
For example, if she was somewhat bothered by his situation, then bring their relationship closer, or even incorporate his large Family into the Heart Demon illusion.
In the following days, Lu Changsheng stayed in Penglai Immortal City, deepening his relationship with Shen Yiren and enhancing their feelings.
As for his son, Shen Yuanming, he knew that Shen Yiren was still in a state of indecision, so he planned to wait until her situation was completely resolved before revealing their relationship.
Thinking of his ‘one shot, one kill’ with Shen Yiren, he couldn’t help but think of Ao Long, who had returned to the East Sea.
“System.” Lu Changsheng muttered in his heart, looking at the System’s lineage column to see if there were any new children.
However, there wasn’t.
“It’s been so long, so it seems she didn’t get pregnant.”
Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly. Although he felt some regret, he wasn’t too disappointed.
The probability of him and Ao Long conceiving was simply too small, so he hadn’t held much hope.
Moreover, if she really did get pregnant, this child would be like Shen Yuanming, becoming a ’left-behind child’, or even unable to meet for a hundred years.
After all, he could still come to the Goddess Palace.
But for the East Sea Cultivation World, he wouldn’t be going there in the short term, at least not for thirty to fifty years.
Just as Lu Changsheng and Shen Yiren were deepening their relationship, outside Great Dream Immortal City in Jiang Country, the Void Realm rippled and a huge opening was torn.
Immediately after, three Nascent Soul cultivators emerged from it.
Terrifying and profound Spiritual Pressure, like an abyss, swept across the heavens and earth, covering the entire Great Dream Immortal City.
Even with Great Dream Immortal City’s Third-Rank top-tier formation, the defending Cultivators and the Cultivators in the city were stiff all over, unable to even breathe, trembling uncontrollably.
“They’re here.”
Bai Zhaozhao, who had been living in Great Dream Immortal City these days, felt something, her gaze slightly condensed as she looked at the three Nascent Soul cultivators outside the Immortal City, realizing they meant trouble.
According to her divination, Great Dream Immortal City was currently shrouded in calamity Qi, and only Yang Ming Zhenjun’s intervention could resolve it.
Bai Zhaozhao looked at the three Nascent Soul cultivators, a faint golden glow flowing in her pupils, and then looked towards the Void Realm.
“Yang Ming Zhenjun, in the Han Sha Illusion Domain, you and Qingluan Zhenjun killed my Old Ancestor. Today, I’ve come for an explanation!”
Among the three Nascent Soul cultivators, one, dressed in a purple brocade robe, tall and with hawk-like eyes, spoke in a deep voice. His Nascent Soul might and voice were like Rolling thunder, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
“Three, three Nascent Soul True Lords!”
“How, how could there be three Nascent Soul True Lords coming to Great Dream Immortal City to cause trouble?”
“Yang Ming Zhenjun captured and killed six Nascent Soul cultivators in the Liang Yue War, his Divine Ability is unparalleled, how dare they come looking for trouble with Yang Ming Zhenjun?”
“There were rumors earlier that the City Lord was seriously injured. Could the rumors be true?”
Many Cultivators in the city looked at the three figures standing above the Immortal City, their throats dry, their faces filled with fear and awe.
After all, the Nascent Soul True Lords, who were usually high and mighty, appearing and disappearing like Dragons, now appeared three at once, how could it not make people fear and awe?
However, after so long, there were still some Cultivators who came to Great Dream Immortal City to pay respects, seek an audience with Yang Ming Zhenjun, or inquire about the situation.
Seeing this situation, they were both anxious and full of anticipation.
Anxiety was fear that the upcoming battle would affect them.
Anticipation was that they might witness the legendary Yang Ming Zhenjun!
