Chapter 2711 - 876: Lu Wangshu’s Core Formation, Breaking the Feather, Granny Returns (Part 3)
Chapter 2711: Chapter 876: Lu Wangshu’s Core Formation, Breaking the Feather, Granny Returns (Part 3)
Yun Wanshang had already guessed that the situation in the Liang Yue war had reversed, and Lu Changsheng’s message to go there was most likely to share in the military merits.
In response, she did not delay and said directly, "In that case, let’s go now."
"True Monarch, Lu Wangshu, the daughter of Master Xiyue, has broken through to Core Formation. Could you possibly take her to the front line for training as well?" Lu Miaoge asked.
"Lu Wangshu?" Yun Wanshang knew of this grand-disciple, but had never met her. She asked, "Why didn’t Lu Changsheng take her?"
"Wangshu just broke through."
"Since she just broke through, she should solidify her realm at home." Yun Wanshang said calmly.
However, she thought of how she had yet to meet Lu Wangshu.
Xiao Xiyue and that little rascal Lu Changsheng hadn’t taken the initiative to bring her to visit her as this Ancestral Master, so she promptly said, "Bring her to see me."
"Yes." Lu Miaoge replied respectfully and quickly went to call Lu Wangshu.
Moments later, Yun Wanshang was taken aback and moved as she looked at the Lu Wangshu in front of her.
She mused on how much Lu Changsheng had invested in resources on this daughter for her to embody such a spirit of nature’s elegance.
Although she didn’t examine Lu Wangshu’s situation or the quality of her Golden Core in detail.
Through the magic power mechanism emanating from Lu Wangshu, it was evident that she was a top-level seed of an Immortal Golden Core, with dual cultivation of magic and body.
At over a hundred years old, such achievements were beyond mere "talent."
There must be great opportunities and adventures.
Having interacted with Lu Changsheng for so long and learning about the many talented disciples of the Lu Family, Yun Wanshang believed it was more due to Lu Changsheng’s nurturing, rather than pure opportunities.
After all, how could there be so many top-level opportunities and adventures in the world?
And all just happened to fall upon the Lu Family disciples’ heads.
Yun Wanshang originally wanted to say that since you’ve just broken through to Core Formation, you should stabilize your realm at home.
But on second thought, Lu Changsheng had called her in such a hurry.
And since he wanted her to take Lu Miaoge along, it indicated that the war situation was stable and not overly dangerous.
And such wars in the Cultivation World were rare, taking Lu Wangshu along could also broaden her horizons and serve as training.
"Very well." Yun Wanshang responded calmly, then threw a magical treasure to Lu Wangshu to further conceal her magic power.
Otherwise, with her just having broken through, it would be easy for others to discern her background.
"Thank you, Ancestral Master." Lu Wangshu expressed her gratitude joyfully.
However, hearing such a term as "Ancestral Master," Yun Wanshang felt immensely ironic, almost wanting to slash Lu Changsheng twice.
That damn rascal, breeding pig!
She cursed quietly in her heart, then with a swirl of Nascent Soul magic power, she took out an escape talisman and carried the two towards the front lines of Yue Country!
...
Yue Country, Red Peak Immortal City.
Lu Changsheng knew from the surge of mana out of nowhere that his daughter Lu Wangshu had broken through to Core Formation.
Yet, his cultivation level had already reached the Nascent Soul Second Layer, making this mana enhancement negligible for him.
Moreover, with the time difference being so vast, it was hard to compare the quality of his daughter Lu Wangshu’s Golden Core with that of his children Lu Qingshan, Lu Lingxiao, and others.
Lu Changsheng did not pay too much mind to this.
After all, his daughter Lu Wangshu’s Core Formation had already reached perfection.
Thinking about his children, who were gradually stepping into the Core Formation Stage one by one, Lu Changsheng felt a sense of contentment.
However, thinking about his daughter Nangong Yaoyao, who joined the Immortal Lotus Sect, and about Mu Que, whom he had never met, and whose divinatory symbols were difficult and destiny full of hardships, he sighed deeply.
Once, he had thought of visiting his daughter Nangong Yaoyao at the Immortal Lotus Sect with Nangong Mili after breaking through to Nascent Soul.
To also enrich his experience with the prosperity of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, and the legendary Seven Demonic Sects.
But since breaking through to Nascent Soul, he had no free time at all.
Now, the Liang Yue war, involving the Blood Sea Sect of the Seven Demonic Sects, complicated things further.
If he resolved the Liang Yue war, visiting his daughter at the Immortal Lotus Sect might provoke retaliation from the Blood Sea Sect.
As for his daughter Mu Que, he couldn’t even find her whereabouts.
Lu Changsheng lightly tapped the Storage Ring, and a green feather appeared.
It was a token given by Azure Phoenix True Monarch upon their parting.
As long as it was broken, the other party would sense it.
"What is the situation with Azure Phoenix True Monarch..."
Lu Changsheng sighed as he looked at the feather in his hand.
Back then, Azure Phoenix True Monarch mentioned finding a place for closed cultivation to digest the harvest from the Secret Realm of the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, suggesting it could take anywhere from ten to sixty years.
Now, thirty years had passed.
Yet, Azure Phoenix True Monarch still had no news.
Even the Four Rank Divination could not ascertain the situation.
It could only vaguely sense that they were no longer in the Northern Domain of the Southern Wilderness.
"Now that the dangers of the Vast Sand Illusion Realm have been dealt with, even when Azure Phoenix True Monarch returns, it won’t pose much of a problem or impact."
Lu Changsheng looked at the feather in his hand, pondered for a long time, and decided to break it.
On one hand, when Azure Phoenix True Monarch comes back, he can have another powerful ally.
On the other hand, it’s regarding the situation of his daughter, Mu Que; he really doesn’t know how to find her, nor does he have the time to slowly search.
He can only turn to Azure Phoenix True Monarch, the child’s mother.
Where Mu Que is, her mother must know.
As long as he knows the general area, he can bring his daughter back without her suffering outside.
After making the decision, with a "crack," the green feather in his hand broke, and a surge of green magic power dispersed.
"I hope the Azure Phoenix True Monarch receives the message and can come early."
Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly, worried that Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s disappearance over the years might mean she was in mortal danger.
Although his divination suggests she should be alive,
if she were to fall into a situation where her Nascent Soul exits, and the magical body is shattered, it would be extremely troublesome.
...
At this moment, in the Eastern Domain of the Southern Wilderness.
Deep in a lava lake, scorching and nearly burning everything.
A giant egg, crimson in color, adorned with exquisite and luxurious patterns, resembling a Phoenix Egg, was radiating brilliant scarlet light.
This giant egg seemed to have life, breathing in and out, forming a kind of mystical rhythm, exceedingly mysterious.
Just then, the breath of the giant egg seemed to be disrupted, suddenly halted.
But after a few breaths, the egg brightened and dimmed again, breathing in and out, forming a mystical rhythm, radiating brilliant scarlet light, as if resonating with this world and the lava lake.
...
Central Domain of the Southern Wilderness, Blood-colored Mountain Range.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
A resolute young girl, around twelve or thirteen years old, with a masculine appearance, was frantically traversing the forest, fleeing.
Her hair was disheveled at the moment, her clothing tattered, her body covered with scars and drenched in blood.
For a regular cultivator, such injuries would remain weak, but the girl was like a leopard.
Just then, a beam of blood light swiftly came toward her.
Seeing this, the pursuing Energy Refining Cultivators swiftly called out respectfully, "Uncle Zhao!"
"Greetings, Uncle Zhao!"
With these disciples calling, the blood shadow approached, striking the girl’s back, breaking her spiritual shield, a sound of bones breaking heard.
"Pff!"
The girl was like a kite with a broken string, flying horizontally, then crashing heavily against a large rock, spitting blood, her life faint.
"Is it that I’m going to die here?"
Mu Que coughed blood, looking at the Foundation Establishment Cultivator before her, her heart filled with despair.
With her strength, even if facing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she could put up a decent fight.
But after fleeing for half a month, her stamina was nearly exhausted; she is not a match for the Foundation Establishment Cultivator now.
Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator before her is not merely an initial-stage cultivator.
It’s simply the success and downfall of the bloodline.
The inborn Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline granted her astonishing physique and self-healing ability, allowing her to perform fire-element techniques far superior to her peers, competing with Foundation Establishment cultivators since the Qi Refinement realm.
But the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline also bestowed her several dangers.
In her early years, she was coveted by a Heretic Cultivator elder, wanting to refine her into elixir medicines.
Now, seeking to hunt Second Rank Demon Beasts in the Blood-Colored Mountain Range, to obtain a special Second Rank Monster Core, to gather materials for refining Foundation Building Elixir, she’s caught the attention of Blood River Valley disciples.
"Indeed, such fragrant and enticing blood, a top-grade Blood Slave! It was worth the trip."
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Blood River Valley looked at the girl before him, expressing delight, feeling the trip worthwhile.
He reached out to grab the girl before him, intending to take her back as a Blood Slave.
Yet at that moment, his body suddenly exploded, shattered into pieces.
Mu Que and the nearby Blood River Valley disciples watched this unfold, both shocked.
"Little Que’er."
At that moment, a hoarse voice sounded.
A white-haired old woman, leaning on a cane, slowly approached, calling out to the girl.
"Granny!?"
Mu Que, hearing the call and seeing the elderly woman, instinctively called.
But after she did so, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
How is Granny here, didn’t Granny die?
