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

Chapter 2550: Chapter 832: Desolate Soul Bell, Farewell Nangong Mili!

He then tossed out another Jade Slip.

Inside was a list of the materials he needed, as well as the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he could offer in exchange.

As the overlord of Jiang Country, with a legacy of several thousand years, the Heavenly Sword Sect still possessed profound foundations.

The materials Lu Changsheng needed were all extremely rare, yet the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Treasure Vault directly had several pieces.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had many rare resources in hand, Absolute Sword True Monarch took the initiative to say that when he informed his senior brother, he would send this resource list along to see whether Yue Country had what Lu Changsheng needed.

Though the karmic entanglements around Lu Changsheng were quite troublesome.

But if it was just doing some trading and earning a bit of profit in between, who would really come looking for trouble with his Heavenly Sword Sect?

"I’ll have to trouble Daoist Juejian."

Lu Changsheng agreed with pleasure, deeply experiencing the benefits of connections and social ties.

Otherwise, if he relied solely on slowly purchasing and collecting through Great Dream Immortal City, it might drag on until who knows when.

After the deal was completed, the relationship between the two seemed to grow a bit closer.

However, Absolute Sword True Monarch was still very measured, not asking overly private questions, merely inquiring, "As for the matter at Starry Sky Sea, how long does Daoist estimate it will take to resolve?"

"As little as one or two years, as much as three to five."

Lu Changsheng mused slightly.

Absolute Sword True Monarch’s expression tightened a bit.

Although three to five years, to a Nascent Soul True Lord, was merely one closed-door Cultivation session.

Yet in the current situation of Yue Country, three to five years was very long.

"If the Liangyue War truly becomes unsustainable, Daoist Juejian can send a message to my Great Dream Immortal City."

In his heart, Lu Changsheng still hoped that Yue Country could stabilize the current situation.

If Yue Country were to be utterly defeated, and the flames of war spread to Jiang Country, then his Lu Family would be completely dragged into it.

"Alright."

Absolute Sword True Monarch did not take these words to heart, treating them purely as polite talk.

After all, back in the early years at Great Dream Immortal City, Lu Changsheng had already told him such words, saying that if anything happened, he could seek help from their husband-and-wife pair.

Yet when he went to visit and invite Lu Changsheng to aid in battle, Lu kept making excuses, delaying until now.

Absolute Sword True Monarch had wanted to ask about the other party’s next plans, as well as the whereabouts of Azure Phoenix True Monarch.

But after repeatedly weighing it, he still did not ask, only cupping his hands and saying, "Then I wish Daoist all the best."

"Very well, I’ll also await news from your sect."

Since the transaction was done, Lu Changsheng did not linger, and rose to take his leave.

Then, with Absolute Sword True Monarch seeing him off, he left the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Hum!"

Lu Changsheng slightly cupped his hands again, and then the Michen Banner appeared in his hand, stirring up a ripple in the void; his figure vanished in a flicker.

Seeing this scene, Absolute Sword True Monarch’s pupils abruptly constricted.

Although from the look of it, Lu Changsheng had borrowed the power of a Spiritual Treasure, this kind of Instant Teleportation method was far from ordinary, completely unlike a Cultivator who had only recently broken through to Nascent Soul.

"Reincarnation Cultivation, or heavily injured and rebuilding?"

Absolute Sword True Monarch murmured in his heart, thinking of Hong Lian, who seemed to be at Core Formation, yet felt like a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

He suspected that Lu Changsheng was not Reincarnation Cultivation, but had already been a Nascent Soul True Lord back then; however, for some reason his Nascent Soul and Cultivation Realm had fallen, and only now had he returned to Nascent Soul.

Though he had never seen such a thing, the Cultivation World was vast; there was nothing it did not contain.

Mainly, aside from this explanation, he truly could not imagine just what was going on with this Great Dream City Lord, Yangming True Monarch.

A Core Formation cultivator contending against Nascent Soul!

Breaking through to Nascent Soul for at most twenty years, yet able to slay multiple Nascent Soul True Lords.

Without thinking too much, he immediately transmitted what had just happened to Xuanjian True Monarch, who was far away in Yue Country.

...

Borrowing the Michen Banner, after fleeing over a thousand li, Lu Changsheng lightly patted the Tianyuan Lotus and released the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

Then, with a thought, he had his Three Treasures Incarnation and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng travel on, while his true body entered the Tianyuan Lotus to rest.

After Condensing the [Taiyi Dao Seed] earlier, his entire state had yet to fully recover.

Within the Tianyuan Lotus, aside from the Spiritual Eye Spring he had placed himself, he had also obtained three Third Rank Top Level Spiritual Eye Springs from Pinghai Monarch and the others.

With this, the nature’s spiritual energy of the Cave Heaven was enough for him to transport his Qi-Blood and gently regulate his breathing through Mana.

Besides, riding on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to hurry on the road was nowhere near as comfortable and relaxing as staying in the Cave Heaven with his wife and children.

However, under the extreme speed of the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, in less than a month they crossed the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range from the Heavenly Sword Sect and arrived in Jin Kingdom, on the territory of the Five Poisons Cult.

"Let’s go."

Through his Three Treasures Incarnation, Lu Changsheng sensed the outside situation, immediately opened his eyes, and led his wife Meng Xiaochan and his children Lu Minghuang and Lu Mengchan out of the Tianyuan Lotus.

As for his son Lu Quanzhen.

Considering his temperament, and that the Spiritual Energy in the Tianyuan Lotus was currently sufficient, Lu Changsheng let him continue Cultivation in the Cave Heaven.

After exiting the Tianyuan Lotus, Lu Changsheng cast the Reversal Yin Yang Glazed Glass Wall, bringing them to the mountain gate of the Five Poisons Cult.

Looking at the Five Poisons Cult before her, Meng Xiaochan’s expression turned dazed and emotional.

The Five Poisons Cult could be called her second home, to which she held very deep feelings.

If not for her deep affection for Lu Changsheng, she would never have gone to settle in Jiang Country.

"Father, Mother, this is the Five Poisons Cult?"

Lu Mengchan looked at the colorful, mist-wreathed mountain range ahead, full of mysterious and sinister aura, wrinkling her nose as she spoke.

Although here she could feel her Mana flowing more smoothly throughout her body.

She still did not like this environment, feeling it was far less clean and comfortable than their own home.

Lu Minghuang gazed at the Five Poisons Cult before him, a place both familiar and unfamiliar, his expression complicated.

Before the age of thirteen, he had always lived in the Five Poisons Cult, never leaving it.

Yet once he left, it had already been thirty years.

His feelings toward the Five Poisons Cult were very complicated.

Influenced by the teachings of Jiang Country and the Lu Family, he harbored some rejection and aversion toward such Demonic Sects.

Yet his mother was a Demonic Path Cultivator, an Elder of a Demonic Sect.

He himself had grown up in the Demon Path from childhood.

And the aunt who had always taken care of him, Meng Xiaochan, was his mother’s Disciple, once a True Inheritor of the Five Poisons Cult.

His father, though belonging to the Righteous Path, did not seem all that Righteous... perhaps even a bit Demonic...

Even the elder brother he had been dealing with these days, Lu Quanzhen, did not seem like a Righteous Path cultivator.

Under such circumstances, he truly did not know how to describe his family’s situation, its composition... nor how to view the Righteous Path and the Demon Path.

"The division between Righteous and Demonic lies in your heart, not in name."

Noticing his son’s confusion, Lu Changsheng placed his hand on the boy’s shoulder and said mildly.

Though Lu Minghuang was not young and had long since broken through to Foundation Establishment, he was, in the end, a greenhouse flower, with too little experience, easily falling into confusion and getting entangled over the distinction between Righteous and Demonic.

In Lu Changsheng’s view, what so-called Righteous or Demonic was there?

There were only differences of personal ideals and perspectives.

"Your child understands." Lu Minghuang naturally knew this truth; back in the day, his aunt Meng Xiaochan had also told him these things.

He was just unable to help feeling emotional upon returning to the Five Poisons Cult.

Before long, a streak of purple rainbow light streaked over from deep within Five Poisons Mountain, instantly appearing before Lu Changsheng and the others.

It was a beautiful married woman of about thirty.

She wore a luxurious purple dress, her figure graceful and peerlessly alluring; the moment she appeared, she carried with her ten thousand charms.

Her exquisitely enchanting face held an unspeakable seductive allure; her skin was fairer than frost and snow, as delicate as mutton fat jade, shining with a gentle luster, as if it would break at a touch.

"Hmph!"

The beautiful woman’s phoenix eyes, as misty as rippling waves, fell on the stalwart man before her; a chill flashed in them at once, her tone anything but pleasant.

This damned man had said before that in a little while, he would bring their son to see her.

Yet in the blink of an eye, nearly twenty years had passed.

If not for the Cultivation World being unstable these years, with the Yiming Ghost Sect keeping a close watch on her, she would have rushed to Jiang Country long ago.

Then she looked at the handsome youth beside Lu Changsheng, whose looks were as delicate as a girl’s, and softly called out, "Minghuang?"

After more than twenty years apart, seeing her son, now much more mature and carrying a few hints of masculine vigor, she felt momentarily dazed, not daring to recognize him.

"Your child greets Mother."

Though his mother was a Demonic Path Cultivator, Lu Minghuang still held her in great respect.

He remembered how, when he was young, his mother had carefully nurtured and taught him.

"Mili." Lu Changsheng naturally knew that, with him taking so long to bring their son to see her, she had built up resentment in her heart.

"Master." Meng Xiaochan immediately stepped forward affectionately, calling out to her Master.

"Mengchan greets Mas... Auntie."

Hearing her mother call the other woman "Master," Lu Mengchan reflexively wanted to call her Ancestral Master.

But thinking of the relationship between this Ancestral Master and her father, she quickly changed her address.

Though Nangong Mili had accumulated resentment toward Lu Changsheng in her heart, she knew this was not the place to talk; she responded softly to her son and Disciple, and then led the group into the Five Poisons Cult.
