Chapter 2472 - 814: Fusing the Sword Embryo, Heading to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range (Combined, Alliance Hierarch Bonus 1)
Several days later, Lu Changsheng walked out of Caiyun Hall and arrived at Mingyue Residence.
After visiting his cultivating son Lu Shouzheng with Xiao Xiyue and visiting his Dao companion Zhao Qingqing at Hundred Herbs Garden, he left Qingyun Sect and headed to Great Dream Immortal City.
Originally, he planned to give Zhao Qingqing a Core Formation opportunity, but currently, he did not have a Coagulation Crystal Elixir in hand.
He could only wait until breaking through to Nascent Soul, then refine the three stalks of [Jade Marrow Gold Ganoderma] from Great Dream Immortal City into Coagulation Crystal Elixirs, and give her one.
With her Sixth Grade Spiritual Root and Vegbody, as long as she doesn’t overreach, with his help, she has a high probability to form a Core when attempting a Low Grade Imperfect Pill.
Ten days later, Lu Changsheng returned to Great Dream Immortal City.
However, upon seeing the Immortal City, he immediately felt something was not quite right.
The fortune of Great Dream Immortal City was fluctuating violently, as though a storm was imminent.
“Is it because Hong Lian is absent, or is a crisis approaching?”
Lu Changsheng frowned.
In the early years of divination, he was aware that there was an underlying crisis in Great Dream Immortal City, a looming calamity.
But after he and Yun Wanshang returned to Great Dream Immortal City, this calamity gradually subsided and dissipated.
But now, the ominous energy of the calamity is brewing once again, even more fiercely than before!
Lu Changsheng realized that this crisis had always existed.
It was just that with himself and Hong Lian in the Immortal City, this crisis could not evolve into a full-blown calamity.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”
Tossing the Divination Coin, Lu Changsheng sought to discern where this crisis was coming from.
Starry Sky Sea, Heavenly Sword Sect, or another force?
After a long while, Lu Changsheng realized in a flash of intuition that this ominous crisis came from Starry Sky Sea.
“Is it still about the Kunpeng Egg?”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking in the direction of Starry Sky Sea.
Back when Pinghai True Monarch and the others attacked, although he crushed one Magic Body and forced another Nascent Soul Spirit Body to escape, things were not fully resolved.
In that circumstance, the three of them would absolutely not let it rest!
Especially years ago, he sensed the Power of Heavenly Mechanism and calculated the situation of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
“This mix of ominous and auspicious energy is constantly brewing, instead of erupting directly. It’s likely as I guessed before; the trio spread the news of the Kunpeng Egg and Spiritual Whale in Starry Sky Sea, creating layers of crises.”
“If, when faced with these testing challenges, I cannot exhibit sufficient strength to intimidate them, these Nascent Soul True Lords will take action!”
Lu Changsheng thought deeply.
“It can’t be delayed any longer. If this matter isn’t thoroughly intimidated, the trouble will be endless.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, knowing that while residing in the Immortal City, he could at most temporarily avert the crisis.
As matters continue to ferment and spread throughout Starry Sky Sea, even if he held the [Sun Moon Duality Mirror], it would be difficult to fend off the intruders, only leading to bigger troubles.
The simplest method is to strike fiercely once to avoid a hundred subsequent punches!
“Quanzhen, come to see me.”
Lu Changsheng projected his Divine Sense, contacting Lu Quanzhen who was cultivating in the City Lord Mansion.
Before long, dressed in a wide azure robe, elegant and resplendent like a deity, Lu Quanzhen arrived, bowing to Lu Changsheng and saying, “Father, is there something you came here for?”
He knew his father was preparing to break through to Nascent Soul, and so was asked to temporarily reside in the Immortal City.
“I sense that the Immortal City seems to be on the brink of a looming storm, surrounded by an unseen crisis. In the coming period, pay more attention to the situation in the city, and see if there are any suspicious cultivators coming and going.”
Lu Changsheng instructed his son, aware that in the forthcoming time, there would definitely be people spying on or probing the Immortal City.
“If danger strikes, activate the Great Formation at once and summon the Spiritual Whale.”
Lu Changsheng planned to take the Heavenly Dew and leave immediately with Yun Wanshang to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range to promptly achieve Nascent Soul.
The ominous and impending calamity was only brewing, and he didn’t know when it would erupt, but he knew the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would become.
“Danger approaching?”
Lu Quanzhen’s face turned slightly grave, knowing that if his own father cautioned him about danger, it certainly involved Nascent Soul True Lords.
He solemnly clasped his hands and said earnestly, “Father, rest assured, I will definitely pay extra attention during these days.”
After speaking, he asked, “Father, is it the Nascent Soul True Lords from Starry Sky Sea?”
Upon returning to Jiang Country and taking charge of Great Dream Immortal City, he had an understanding of Jiang Country’s situation.
He knew that Jiang Country had four Nascent Soul True Lords in total.
The Azure Phoenix True Monarch of Azure Phoenix Immortal City was rumored to have entered the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, disappearing while cultivating in seclusion, and had a deep connection with his father’s alias, [Yangming True Master].
The newly advanced Nascent Soul True Lord, Caiyun True Monarch, need not be mentioned, as he might have to call her aunt….
The remaining Heavenly Sword Sect’s Xuanjian True Monarch and Absolute Sword True Monarch were dangerous, but earlier his father sent the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, his younger brother Lu Lingxiao, to the frontline and provided abundant resources to smooth relations between the two parties.
The Heavenly Sword Sect had no reason to act against the Immortal City.
Moreover, besides him, Great Dream Immortal City was also guarded by the Fourth Rank Demon King, Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, making it difficult for even the Heavenly Sword Sect to pose a crisis.
So the only possibility was Starry Sky Sea!
He knew in his heart that the matter of the Kunpeng Egg was causing great trouble for his father.
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, not hiding from his son, and openly said, “Years ago, Pinghai True Monarch of Starry Sky Sea sensed the Qi Mechanism of the Kunpeng Egg from the Spiritual Whale and has kept an eye on me.”
“Previously, three Nascent Soul True Lords came to Great Dream Marsh to hunt the Spiritual Whale, trying to learn the whereabouts of the Kunpeng Egg, but I slew them and forced them to retreat.”
“But in matters like this, they wouldn’t just let it go. Based on my conjecture, they are likely spreading the news of the Kunpeng Egg and Spiritual Whale.”
“However, you needn’t worry too much. Unless multiple Nascent Soul True Lords attack, the Spiritual Whale is enough to handle it. Once I return, those people are just rabble!”
