Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1989: Chapter 657: Hunting a Tier-4 Demon King! The Trade Fair! (Part 3)

After all, not everyone possesses a physique like Lu Changsheng, nor an innate divine ability like the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone.

Even though Hong Lian has a Spirit Embryo Physique, raising her magic power cultivation from the Core Formation Sixth Layer to the Core Formation Peak comes at a certain cost and requires a long period of recovery.

"Hong Lian, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Changsheng said to Hong Lian.

If it weren’t for Hong Lian managing the great formation and restraining the Void Kun, this battle would not have gone so smoothly.

"Husband, you’re being too polite."

Hong Lian said with a gentle smile, her peerlessly beautiful face captivating people.

"Changsheng, my lord!"

Lu Miaoge and Ling Zixiao hurried over, looking at Lu Changsheng with concern.

"Sister Miaoge, Zi Xiao."

Lu Changsheng looked at his wife with gentle eyes.

Earlier, Lu Miaoge had transferred all her mana to him to help activate the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, leaving her somewhat pale.

"Husband, are you alright?"

Nangong Mili also came over, her eyes sparkling with emotion as she looked lovingly at Lu Changsheng and moved towards his embrace.

"..."

In another situation, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t mind engaging in dual cultivation with Nangong Mili to stabilize his injuries.

But seeing Hong Lian nearby, along with Lu Miaoge, and Ling Zixiao whose expression was already a bit off, he simply hugged Nangong Mili briefly before letting her go, and coughed lightly, "Mili, go watch outside, in case another demon king attacks."

"Hmph."

Nangong Mili intentionally put on this posture, and upon hearing this, she softly hummed with a charming voice, then said coquettishly, "Husband, rest well."

After speaking, she gave Ling Zixiao a faint glance and gracefully walked away.

"Hmph, vixen!"

Ling Zixiao had no affection for this outsider, Nangong Mili, and snorted coldly.

"Ahem, Zi Xiao, the celestial city formation is in your hands now."

Lu Changsheng did not respond to this remark and said to Ling Zixiao, releasing the Three Treasures Incarnation.

Though the Three Treasures Incarnation was weak and its fighting strength was reduced to a tenth, it was still capable of overseeing the situation.

"Alright, my lord, rest well."

Knowing that Lu Changsheng had expended significant energy activating the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror], Ling Zixiao nodded in agreement.

"I’ll go watch as well."

Seeing this, Lu Miaoge joined the Three Treasures Incarnation as a form of intimidation.

...

The celestial city formation opened, and countless cultivators rushed out to hunt demon beasts or scavenged the corpses of the dead beasts.

However, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale lingered outside the Immortal City, its maw like a chaotic abyss devouring the eight-claw demon fish, making the cultivators too afraid to dive into the water for scavenging.

Fearful that the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale would disapprove and make them its meal.

After all, should the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale devour them, there would be no place to seek justice.

Aside from those cultivators rushing to slaughter fleeing demon beasts, various top forces sent people to spread the news of today’s event at the Great Dream Immortal City.

After all, the normally low-profile Great Dream City Lord suddenly revealing the power to hunt a Fourth Rank Demon King was undoubtedly shocking news in the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm!

Especially the four great immortal sects, and the Heavenly Sword Sect’s cultivators found themselves at a loss for words or commentary.

"Young City Lord?"

The stationed elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect hurried to pay his respects upon seeing Lu Lingxiao.

Previously, it was out of courtesy to Lu Lingxiao, but after this battle, there was an unconscious addition of respect for Lu Lingxiao.

After all, the other party possessed parents capable of hunting Fourth Rank Demon Kings.

Soon, he would likely break through Core Formation and become a Nascent Soul Immortal. Naturally, the elder didn’t dare to act superiorly or treat him as a junior.

"The beast tide attacked, and my father naturally wished to resolve it thoroughly, with no other intentions."

Lu Lingxiao naturally understood what the False Core Immortal of the Heavenly Sword Sect wanted to know and said calmly.

Father Lu Changsheng had always said that they did not seek trouble, but they never feared it.

Regarding the Heavenly Sword Sect, the overlord of Jiang Country, it should be treated with respect, but excessive reverence wasn’t necessary.

Just then, a voice resonated in Lu Lingxiao’s ear.

"Xiao’er, you may tell them that after the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm] ends, our Great Dream Immortal City will host a whale hunting banquet; the four great immortal sects of Jiang Country and Nascent Soul cultivators are welcome to attend and exchange cultivation insights."

"At that time, our Immortal City will release numerous rare heavenly and earthly treasures for a trading event, inviting everyone to participate in bartering."

Lu Changsheng sent a message to his son, Lu Lingxiao.

His achievement of hunting a Fourth Rank Demon King would soon spread throughout the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm and even neighboring countries.

In such a situation, the Heavenly Sword Sect, as Jiang Country’s overlord, surely wouldn’t remain indifferent!

Thus, Lu Changsheng decided to invite the Heavenly Sword Sect, the four great immortal sects, and Azure Phoenix Immortal City to the Great Dream Immortal City to show their stance and demonstrate their magnanimity.

With the celestial city formation and the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, even if a Nascent Soul True Lord came, Lu Changsheng would not fear.

Additionally, he could take advantage of this to host a trading event, sell some heavenly and earthly treasures, and see if he could trade for any necessities.

Reaching the Nascent Soul stage often required interacting with major forces and high-rank cultivators to acquire most of the heavenly and earthly treasures.

Relying solely on Immortal City purchases wasn’t practicable.

In earlier years, Heavenly Sword Sect had hosted several high-rank auctions or trading events; there was either no time or nothing to sell, so Lu Changsheng hadn’t attended.

Now, with the Vast Sand Illusion Realm opening soon, once these people were done, any unexpected gains might arise.

"True Man Huang...."

After receiving the message, Lu Lingxiao immediately conveyed this to the Heavenly Sword Sect Cultivator and hoped he would spread the word.

"Rest assured, Young City Lord!"

Replied the stationed elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect with a smile.

Though stationed at the Great Dream Immortal City for many years, unaware of certain situations, he had no idea how to report such major events.

With the Great Dream City Lord now personally hosting a banquet and inviting their sect, it was likely meant to be an open-hearted meeting.

...

City Lord Mansion.

"Ah, time."

Lu Changsheng sighed while staring at the Void Kun’s body before him.

At present, time was the thing he lacked the most.

Though he was without Nascent Soul resources, he possessed a wealth of heavenly and earthly treasures, cultivation techniques, and divine abilities.

Given time, he could elevate his combat power to another level.

Not to mention the Xuan Huang Essence and the Brahman Demon True Body, by exploiting the Void Kun’s body, he was confident in advancing his body refinement to the Fourth Rank!

Upon reaching Fourth Rank body refinement, he would be fearless of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Moreover, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale’s advancement to the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale was slated for the upcoming years.

Once the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale advanced, with some consolidation, it could storm up to the Fourth Rank Demon King!

With the Fourth Rank Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale guarding the Great Dream Marsh, his breakthrough to the Fourth Rank body refinement, and the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, the entire Great Dream Immortal City would be unassailable and impregnable!

Lu Changsheng didn’t tabulate his gains but sealed the Void Kun’s body with a formation to prevent spiritual mechanism leakage. He then handed the corpses of the Roaring Sea Shark to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

Even though the latter hadn’t contributed in this battle, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t forget his little brother, hoping for its quick growth to the Third Rank Top Level.

"Don’t touch these parts; I’ll need them for artifact refining later."

After instructing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, Lu Changsheng went with Hong Lian to the cave mansion for healing through dual cultivation.
