Chapter 369: Divine Ability Fruit, Cultivating the Yin-Yang Genesis Manual!

“Yes, Martial Uncle.”

The young man called Han Jing nodded, exuding a cold and intimidating aura. He stepped onto the Sword Inquiry Platform and cupped his hands toward Lu Qingshan, saying, “Han Jing, please enlighten me.”

“What? Senior Brother Han Jing is already on the platform!”

“When Junior Brother Han Jing broke through to Foundation Establishment, he grasped the second realm of Sword Dao, ‘Sword Qi Manifestation.’ Now, at mid-Foundation Establishment, he’s already touched the third realm, ‘Sword Qi Thunder Sound.’ Few at his level can rival him. Even suppressing his cultivation to early Foundation Establishment seems somewhat unfair.”

“Yes, with Senior Brother Han entering the fray so quickly, even if he wins, it would appear that our Heavenly Sword Sect is winning without honor!”

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect below the platform saw Han Jing ascend and immediately began discussing, their confusion apparent.

There was an unspoken rule in Sword Inquiry.

The participants on the platform would typically ascend from the weakest to the strongest.

Someone like Han Jing, who was among the top ranks in the Heavenly Sword Sect, would naturally stand out.

Once he was on the platform, many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were effectively disqualified from challenging Lu Qingshan in swordplay.

“Please enlighten me!”

Lu Qingshan looked at the imposing Han Jing before him, nodded slightly, and revealed a serious expression in his eyes.

The two began to clash.

Compared to the previous three challengers, Han Jing’s strength was clearly on a different level.

He spat out a delicate, inch-long miniature sword, causing a sharp and chilling aura to burst forth from the Sword Inquiry Platform, making it impossible for others to look directly at him.

Immediately, a domineering wave of sword energy surged toward Lu Qingshan like a tide, accompanied by the sound of thunder, as if it could tear him apart.

Lu Qingshan, holding a golden Magical Sword, unleashed sword energy as brilliant as a galaxy, swallowing stars and shining brightly.

“Sword Qi Thunder Sound, Senior Brother Han has already comprehended Sword Qi Thunder Sound!”

“Wait, has Lu Qingshan also grasped Sword Qi Thunder Sound!?”

“This man has only been in Foundation Establishment for a few years, and he’s already mastered Sword Qi Thunder Sound!”

“Such a talent in Sword Dao is simply astonishing!”

“If Lu Qingshan were in our Heavenly Sword Sect, he would likely be at the level of a Sword Disciple.”

“No wonder Senior Brother Han went directly to the platform. He must have seen that Lu Qingshan was no ordinary person and had been holding back.”

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect watching the battle on the Sword Inquiry Platform couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Although many cultivators had come to the Heavenly Sword Sect to challenge the sword.

There were very few as extraordinarily talented as Lu Qingshan.

“Clang, clang, clang—”

On the Sword Inquiry Platform, the two continued their fierce exchange.

In the end, Han Jing, faced with Lu Qingshan’s relentless attacks, had to use his mid-Foundation Establishment strength and finally admitted defeat.

“Senior Brother Han lost!”

“How is this possible!”

“Lu Qingshan, such a sword cultivator, isn’t even from our Heavenly Sword Sect!”

The Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were incredulous as they saw Han Jing concede.

It was well known that in the Jiang Kingdom, sword cultivation was dominated by the Heavenly Sword Sect!

Although the Golden Sun Sect was decent, it was merely a Golden Core level force, with Sword Dao being just one of its disciplines.

But now, such an extraordinarily talented sword cultivator emerged from the Golden Sun Sect, making it hard for them to believe.

“Brother Han, our Sword Dao exchange isn’t over yet. There’s no need to hold back due to our differences in cultivation. Use your full strength.”

At this moment, Lu Qingshan looked at the conceding Han Jing and said.

He had gained a lot from the exchange.

Although the Golden Sun Sect had sword techniques, they were not numerous.

Over the years, he had comprehended and mastered all the sword techniques of the Golden Sun Sect.

During their exchange, he had gained insights from Han Jing’s sword technique and intent.

He wanted to take this opportunity to integrate various sword intents into himself, slowly forging his own Sword Dao.

After all, no matter what sword technique or method, it was the Sword Dao of predecessors, not his own!

Only by forging his own Sword Dao could it be truly suitable for him!

“What, he actually told Senior Brother Han not to hold back due to the difference in cultivation!”

“Junior Brother Han is at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, while he is only at the second level!”

“If it were some mediocre rogue cultivator, the difference in one level wouldn’t matter. But among us disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who isn’t a standout among peers? He is simply underestimating Senior Brother Han!”

“Damn it, if this guy wins, where will our Heavenly Sword Sect’s dignity go!”

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were in an uproar upon hearing this, some were surprised, others sighed, and some were indignant.

“Alright!”

Hearing this, Han Jing’s eyes narrowed slightly, his aura became even more oppressive, and he responded coldly.

Losing to Lu Qingshan had left him frustrated.

He wanted to see just how far Lu Qingshan could go.

Moreover, such a pure Sword Dao exchange was highly beneficial to him.

In an instant, the two resumed their battle on the platform.

“It seems that among those of the same age and level in the Heavenly Sword Sect, there are few who can match Qingshan.”

Immortal Tian Yuan watched the two on the Sword Inquiry Platform and sighed internally.

She had come to the Heavenly Sword Sect in hopes that they could teach Lu Qingshan a lesson, to show him the vastness of the world.

Such a lesson needed to be strong and domineering, to defeat Lu Qingshan thoroughly!

But now, it seemed that it would be difficult for the Heavenly Sword Sect to find such a disciple.

“If no one can defeat him in this Sword Inquiry, won’t he consider everyone he meets after this to be a weakling, a mere nobody?”

Immortal Tian Yuan was worried.

She wondered if she should take Lu Qingshan out later to see the dangers of the cultivation world.

After all, it’s easy to dodge an open spear but hard to avoid a hidden arrow.

With such a temperament, the greatest fear is the danger lurking in the shadows.

“Immortal Tian Yuan has truly taken in a good disciple.”

At this time, Jade Sword Zhenren, watching the two on the Sword Inquiry Platform, transmitted his voice to Immortal Tian Yuan, feeling a bit emotional.

He had invited Lu Qingshan to the Heavenly Sword Sect for Sword Inquiry with the intention of using him to temper his own disciples.

Now, it seemed that he had achieved that effect.

But if his disciples couldn’t defeat Lu Qingshan, it would be somewhat embarrassing.

Although he was confident that his sect’s disciples could suppress and defeat Lu Qingshan.

But if they couldn’t defeat Lu Qingshan in the same age group and cultivation level, it would be less meaningful.

“This unruly disciple is making a fool of himself before the Immortal.”

Immortal Tian Yuan said.

“Such a disciple is something many would envy.”

Jade Sword Zhenren shook his head.

In the cultivation world, a talented disciple could be worth more than hundreds of mediocre ones.

With a genius like Lu Qingshan, as long as he doesn’t fall prematurely, his Golden Core Formation is practically guaranteed.

On the Sword Inquiry Platform, with Han Jing no longer suppressing his cultivation, Lu Qingshan immediately felt the pressure.

However, Han Jing was not purely relying on his cultivation to suppress him. He also used many mid-Foundation Establishment techniques.

This exchange of skills left many of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples in awe.

In the end, Lu Qingshan narrowly won the battle.

But after the duel ended, Lu Qingshan, having expended significant energy, did not continue to fight.

He stated that they would continue tomorrow and that he was here to exchange Sword Dao, so there was no need to hold back due to cultivation levels. Any mid-Foundation or even late-Foundation cultivators could come to the platform for a sword duel.

Although Lu Qingshan showed great humility in today’s duel, not acting arrogant.

These words immediately angered many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

They prepared to teach Lu Qingshan a lesson on the Sword Inquiry Platform tomorrow, to show him the vastness of the world.

“Sigh.”

Immortal Tian Yuan looked at her disciple on the platform, shook her head, and sighed as she turned to Lu Qingzhu beside her, saying, “Qingzhu, talk to Qingshan later. Tell him to speak less during these exchanges.”

Although whenever she spoke to Lu Qingshan, he would nod and agree, saying, “Master is right.”

But if you wanted to know whether he really listened, Lu Qingzhu’s words would hold more weight for Lu Qingshan.

Over the years, Immortal Tian Yuan had realized that taking both siblings as disciples back then was a very wise decision.

If she had only taken Lu Qingshan as a disciple, this disciple’s personality would likely have become much more solitary and arrogant.

With Lu Qingzhu by his side, Lu Qingshan would often be more mindful.

This also made her worry that if something were to happen to Lu Qingzhu one day, she didn’t know what would become of Lu Qingshan.

“Master, you can rest assured.”

Lu Qingzhu, with her serene and gentle appearance, softly replied.

She had been watching the entire battle from below and naturally knew that her brother’s behavior and words had upset many of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

“Lu Qingshan of the Golden Sun Sect, unrivaled among peers at the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Inquiry.”

“Only the Heavenly Sword Sect’s true disciple, ‘Wushuang,’ was evenly matched with Lu Qingshan, resulting in a draw.”

“Before leaving, Lu Qingshan carved the character ‘Lu’ on the Heavenly Sword Monument, promising to return to the Heavenly Sword Sect for another Sword Inquiry in the future.”

At Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng looked at the letter in his hand regarding his son, Lu Qingshan.

“The Heavenly Sword Sect is the number one immortal sect in the Jiang Kingdom, a Nascent Soul level force. Qingshan was actually able to dominate his peers at the Heavenly Sword Sect and even challenge those above his level.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, as expected of my son.”

Lu Changsheng’s face showed a faint smile.

As a parent, who doesn’t wish for their son to become a dragon or their daughter to become a phoenix?

Lu Qingshan was the son he had placed the most hope in.

With such achievements now, he naturally felt very proud as a father.

He then looked at the rest of the letter, wanting to know who this ‘Wushuang’ was, who was evenly matched with his son.

“Wushuang, true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, possessing the ‘Supreme Sword Bone.'”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised when he read the letter.

Because the ‘Supreme Sword Bone’ was a Top-Tier Spirit Body!

Lu Qingshan had actually fought him to a draw.

And the other was at mid-Foundation Establishment.

Although his cultivation was suppressed to early Foundation Establishment.

If they were both in early Foundation Establishment, Lu Qingshan’s chances of winning would likely be higher.

“It seems that the effect of ‘Sword Piercing the Big Dipper’ is in no way inferior to that of the ‘Supreme Sword Bone,’ a Top-Tier Spirit Body.”

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his chin.

At this moment, he finally had a clear understanding of the effect of the Law Seed he had obtained.

After all, he had always known that his son was formidable, but he didn’t have a concrete sense of it.

Now, through this Sword Inquiry at the Heavenly Sword Sect, he knew that his son, Lu Qingshan, was in no way inferior to those with Top-Tier Spirit Bodies.

He might even be slightly stronger.

“However, the incredible effect of this Law Seed on Qingshan is also related to his temperament, talent, and hard work.”

Lu Changsheng naturally didn’t believe that his son’s achievements were entirely due to the Law Seed.

Even before he had the Law Seed, Lu Qingshan had already begun to stand out in the Golden Sun Sect.

The Law Seed merely turned Lu Qingshan, who was already a genius, into a monstrous genius!

“The fusion and enhancement of the Law Seed is a long-term process.”

“This is not yet Qingshan’s limit. As he grows, his talent in Sword Dao can still improve!”

Lu Changsheng thought about the effect of the Law Seed and was filled with anticipation for his son’s future.

“It seems that this Law Seed is really a good thing. I wonder when I can get a few more.”

“If I could get a few more, the Lu Family would have even more Top-Tier geniuses.”

Lu Changsheng clicked his tongue, suddenly feeling a bit more eager for such rare items as the Law Seed.

He then took the news to his wife, Lu Miaohuan, to share the good news with her.

“Lu Qingshan of the Golden Sun Sect, unrivaled among peers at the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Inquiry.”

Lu Miaohuan, dressed in a deep red gauze dress with a luxurious black mink fur draped over her shoulders, looked elegant and dignified, exuding a seductive charm.

After reading the letter, her cold and noble face immediately showed a look of joy and pride.

In her impression, the Heavenly Sword Sect was an unattainable giant.

Now, not only could her son go to the Heavenly Sword Sect for Sword Inquiry.

He even dominated all the cultivators of the same level in the Sword Inquiry, competing with Top-Tier Spirit Bodies. How could she, as a mother, not be excited and proud?

“Husband, will Qingshan’s challenge in the Heavenly Sword Sect cause trouble for him by offending them?”

After a moment, Lu Miaohuan spoke with some anxiety, worried that her son might offend the Heavenly Sword Sect.

After all, the Heavenly Sword Sect was notorious for its domineering nature.

“How could that be? The Heavenly Sword Sect, as the number one immortal sect in the Jiang Kingdom, naturally has the demeanor of an immortal sect.”

“Since they allowed Qingshan to carve his name on the Heavenly Sword Monument, it means they have acknowledged him.”

“Besides, Qingshan went to the Heavenly Sword Sect for Sword Inquiry with Immortal Tian Yuan accompanying him, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Lu Changsheng embraced his wife’s slender waist wrapped in the gauze dress and smiled.

Although the Heavenly Sword Sect was domineering, he didn’t think they would be so petty.

Moreover, Sword Inquiry was a tradition of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Its original purpose was to use the top talents from across the world to temper their own disciples.

If they could only lose and not win when going for Sword Inquiry, then this tradition would have no meaning and would not have continued for so long.

“Mhm.”

Lu Miaohuan nodded lightly, then said somewhat sentimentally, “Qingshan came to the Jiang Kingdom this time, but he hasn’t been able to come home.”

Since the Purple Secrets Realm ended and her son returned to the Golden Sun Sect, he had only sent a letter home after breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

And by the time this letter arrived at Bihu Mountain, two years had already passed since Lu Qingshan’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

“Huanhuan, if you feel lonely, we can have a few more children. That way, you won’t be bored.”

Lu Changsheng embraced his wife’s graceful body and lifted her, seating her plump and round hips on his lap, and whispered into her delicate ear.

Lu Miaohuan had been quite playful in her early years.

But after becoming a mother, her temperament gradually became more restrained.

Now, both of their sons had grown up. The eldest was far away in the Yue Kingdom, and the youngest was often at White Tiger Mountain.

Because of her cultivation in the Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique, she couldn’t leave Bihu Mountain, so she naturally felt a bit lonely.

So Lu Changsheng thought they could have another daughter to keep her company at home.

Although they had many children at home, including newborns.

A child born after ten months of pregnancy would always be closer.

“Husband~”

Lu Miaohuan rolled her eyes at Lu Changsheng upon hearing this.

They had been married for so many years, and the idea of having more children at this age made her feel a bit strange.

But in her heart, she couldn’t help but be somewhat tempted.

On one hand, she indeed felt that the house was a bit dull and thought of having more children to keep herself entertained.

On the other hand, she personally wanted a well-behaved and sensible daughter.

Seeing his wife like this, Lu Changsheng immediately embraced her slender body and kissed her fiery red lips.

For a moment, the ancient and elegant room was filled with a quiet springtime atmosphere.

Regarding Lu Qingshan, aside from Lu Miaohuan and a few others, Lu Changsheng didn’t advertise it too much.

After all, such things would naturally be known to those with access to information channels, and there was no point in promoting it to those without.

Besides, he didn’t want to be too high-profile at the moment.

During this time, Lu Changsheng spent his days cultivating, accompanying Lu Miaohuan, and going to the Hongye Valley Marketplace to cultivate the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra with Lu Miaoyun.

Among the women, his cultivation of the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra with Lu Miaoyun was the most profoud.

He was just one step away from touching the mysterious level of spiritual connection described in the technique.

According to the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, such a spiritual connection would greatly benefit the mind and Divine Sense.

If cultivated to a certain level, it could even involve the concept of reincarnation.

Lu Changsheng had always hoped to draw a Top-Tier mind and Divine Sense technique.

But he had never drawn one, so he planned to rely on the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra to cultivate his soul and Divine Sense.

[Congratulations to the host for the birth of 500 descendants. You have earned one lottery draw.]

That day, a system notification sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

“Unknowingly, it’s already five hundred.”

Lu Changsheng heard the system notification and felt quite emotional.

Now, more than forty years had passed, and the Lu Family’s third generation was gradually reaching adulthood, beginning to marry and have children.

In a few decades, the family population would likely grow exponentially like a snowball.

However, when the Lu Family’s fourth generation was born, the system didn’t give any gifts.

“The quantity is increasing, but the quality still depends on me.”

Lu Changsheng thought about the ratio of children with Spirit Roots among the five hundred and shook his head slightly.

When both parents are mortals, the chance of giving birth to a child with Spirit Roots is very small.

And the chance of giving birth to a naturally gifted descendant is even slimmer.

But once the second generation of the Lu Family at Bihu Mountain gradually starts their own families, the third generation’s quality should improve significantly.

Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on it too much and mentally said, “System, draw.”

Immediately, the system’s big wheel appeared, spinning with golden light.

After a moment, the golden light stopped on ‘Other.’

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Divine Ability Fruit!]

[The reward has been sent to the system space. The host can check it at any time.]

A dark-colored fruit appeared along with the system notification.

“Divine Ability Fruit?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow at this reward.

[Spirit Fruit: Divine Ability Fruit]

[Grade: Third-Tier]

[Description: Bears fruit after three hundred years, matures after five hundred years. When consumed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it allows them to comprehend a pseudo-divine ability compatible with their cultivation technique.]

“As expected, it’s the same as the introduction to the Divine Ability Fruit I saw in ancient texts.”

Lu Changsheng had previously spent time learning about various spiritual plants.

Among them, he had read about the Divine Ability Fruit Tree.

This tree was a Fourth-Tier spiritual plant, and its growth conditions were very demanding.

The fruit it bore had an astonishing effect, just as the system described.

It’s important to know that Divine Abilities can only be cultivated by Golden Core cultivators!

For ordinary cultivators, unless they are extraordinarily gifted or have a fortuitous encounter, it is impossible to cultivate a divine ability.

But this Divine Ability Fruit allows the user to directly comprehend a divine ability.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator masters a divine ability, even if they were just an ordinary cultivator before, they would immediately stand out!

“It’s a pity it’s just a single Divine Ability Fruit and not a Divine Ability Fruit Tree.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the reward and shook his head slightly, not very impressed by the Divine Ability Fruit.

After all, he was already at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, with many techniques and Divine Abilities at his disposal.

He didn’t need to consume the Divine Ability Fruit to comprehend a pseudo-divine ability to enhance his combat power.

“In a few years, Qingxuan should be breaking through to Foundation Establishment. Perhaps I should give this Divine Ability Fruit to him.”

Lu Changsheng thought of his son, Lu Qingxian.

This son had a Fourth-Tier Spirit Root and was quite talented. He was also very diligent.

He was the only one in the family who hadn’t taken any shortcuts, relying on his talent and hard work to steadily advance in his cultivation.

So, Lu Changsheng planned to give him the Divine Ability Fruit after he broke through to Foundation Establishment, to make his path of cultivation a bit smoother.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

During this time, Lu Changsheng had three more children.

Lu Miaohuan also successfully conceived her third child.

Although both of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And Lu Changsheng had prepared many pills for stabilizing pregnancy for Lu Miaohuan.

But after becoming pregnant, Lu Miaohuan began to worry and become anxious, fearing that this child might not have a Spirit Root.

On this day, in a simple and elegant Cave Dwelling in the Hongye Valley Marketplace.

Lu Changsheng was cultivating the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra with Lu Miaoyun.

As they practiced the technique together, the Yin-Yang Dual Qi flowed through their bodies, slowly transforming into strands of Yin-Yang energy.

Suddenly, the Yin-Yang energy in Lu Changsheng’s dantian began to surge, devouring the remaining Seven Luminaries energy in his dantian lake.

His Yin-Yang Creation Sutra was finally about to be fully converted!

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

Lu Changsheng’s dantian lake boiled, the Yin-Yang energy roared, washing over and refining his Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation.

In this moment, his Dao Foundation emitted an endless, mysterious radiance, as brilliant as a rainbow, with rays of light filling the air.

“It’s done?”

Lu Miaoge sensed the changes n her husband’s body and knew that he had completed the conversion of his cultivation technique. She looked at the transformation before her with some astonishment.

However, she was afraid of disturbing Lu Changsheng, so she didn’t dare to stop practicing the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.

At that moment, the rotating sun and moon formed by the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra above their heads unexpectedly resonated with Lu Changsheng’s Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation and Yin-Yang Creation Sutra.

In an instant, the two figures quietly merging in the Cave Dwelling entered an indescribably mysterious state.
