Chapter 397: Second Personality, Lu Wangshu Breaks Through!

In Hall of Everlasting Life, on the bed.

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue’s bodies and souls were intertwined.

At this moment, their hearts opened up, engaging in the purest and most primal exchange of life.

During this process, Lu Changsheng clearly felt Xiao Xiyue’s conflicting feelings of love for him and her pursuit of the Dao.

As the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra kept circulating and their souls intertwined more deeply, Lu Changsheng seemed to see a woman deep within Xiao Xiyue’s sea of consciousness.

This woman was hazy, appearing like a high and mighty immortal, emanating an aura of unfeeling Dao and the impartiality of the Heavens, making her appear untouchable.

Lu Changsheng could clearly sense that the cold indifference in Xiao Xiyue’s soul originated from this figure.

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be that practicing the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique gradually gives birth to a second personality?”

Lu Changsheng vaguely recognized that this hazy figure was Xiao Xiyue.

Or rather, this was the cold, noble, and sacred Xiao Xiyue seen in everyday life.

He continued to circulate the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra, further intertwining their souls, attempting to make contact with this female immortal.

However, the hazy light surrounding this woman was like an invisible barrier, constantly repelling and resisting Lu Changsheng, making it difficult for him to advance any further.

Faced with this situation, Lu Changsheng didn’t dare to force things.

For cultivators, the soul is of utmost importance.

A slight mistake could lead to terrible consequences.

After a moment, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue withdrew from the state of soul fusion.

Their hearts were filled with spiritual desire, and both felt an inseparable bond.

“Xiyue, I just saw a woman deep inside your soul.”

Lu Changsheng, holding Xiao Xiyue’s smooth and fair jade-like body, allowing her soft skin to flow beneath his palm, spoke of what just happened.

“A woman?”

Xiao Xiyue’s face flushed, vibrant with spring-like allure, but she was unaware of this situation.

She only knew that when she practiced the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique, she indeed entered a state of detachment and emotionlessness.

In fact, except when with Lu Changsheng, she was mostly in this state.

However, she noticed earlier that her Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique had started circulating uncontrollably, reminiscent of the time when she first practiced with Lu Changsheng.

“I suspect that this is the main reason why practicing the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique affects one’s personality.”

“But since the soul is crucial, I dare not probe carelessly. I need you, Xiyue, to actively cooperate.”

“If we can closely approach this soul’s intent, I believe there’s hope in resolving the issues caused by Supreme Forgetting Emotions.”

Lu Changsheng voiced his thoughts.

Only after mastering the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra can one engage in soul union.

Currently, Xiao Xiyue had yet to reach the small success level in the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, so she could only passively accept soul fusion and couldn’t respond actively.

Thus, Lu Changsheng intended to wait until she had mastered the technique, so that both could operate the technique together and break the soul’s barrier.

“Alright~”

Xiao Xiyue’s cold, indifferent eyes were tinged with seductive charm as she softly replied.

“Since that’s the case, let’s use this time to practice the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra more.”

Looking at the beautiful Xiao Xiyue before him, Lu Changsheng immediately suggested.

The Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra is not a technique that can be achieved quickly.

It requires continuous daily practice, progressing step by step.

So, Lu Changsheng didn’t want to rush, planning to focus on refining the Taiyi Dao Seed in the coming days.

Lu Miaoge had transferred theeTaiyi Dao Seed to him, leaving her in a weakened state, unable to cultivate for some time.

Besides, to resolve Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Chant Physique, Lu Miaoge’s protection was essential.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng hadn’t forgotten about his daughter, Lu Wangshu, and wanted her to adjust her state properly and prepare for Foundation Establishment.

“Dad, it’s just Foundation Establishment. I’ve been ready for a long time. There’s no need to spend more time preparing.”

Lu Wangshu blinked her eyes, her bright smile full of confidence.

In her early years, she had some anticipation and anxiety about Foundation Establishment.

But as time passed, she came to view it with a calm heart.

Besides, being praised daily by Lu Changsheng—about having a true immortal’s potential, a perfect Dao Foundation, and the likelihood of reaching the Golden Core, as the best Talisman Master in all of Jiang Kingdom—she actually started to believe it. She thought that breaking through Foundation Establishment would be as easy as flipping her hand.

“Wangshu, Foundation Establishment is very important.”

Xiao Xiyue, standing nearby, expressed her concern.

She had stayed on Bihu Mountain these past days to wait for her daughter’s Foundation Establishment before returning.

“Don’t worry, Mom.”

Lu Wangshu grabbed her mother’s wrist playfully, laughing.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiyue didn’t say much more, just gave a few pointers on Foundation Establishment.

Then the three of them went to Sumeru Cave Heaven.

Under the watchful eyes of her parents, Lu Wangshu sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

“Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng, seeing this, took out a jade flute, ready to play a duet with Xiao Xiyue.

First, to nourish their souls and enjoy couple’s time.

And second, to cleanse their daughter’s mind through music.

Soon, one brought the flute to their lips, while the other lightly plucked the strings.

The sound of the zither flowed like a gentle stream, soft and distant, while the flute’s sound felt like a breeze through the valley, ethereal and profound.

As the zither and flute intertwined, it felt like a high mountain and flowing water, touching the soul as if they were in a beautiful world of birds singing, flowers blooming, and poetic imagery.

Under this music, Lu Wangshu’s mind was calm and relaxed.

She felt that the flow of her spiritual energy had become smoother and even seemed to be on the verge of breaking through.

Opening her eyes, she prepared to make the breakthrough.

But seeing her parents playing music together, gazing at each other tenderly, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.

Weren’t they supposed to be helping her with Foundation Establishment?

Why did it feel like she was the third wheel, out of place in this loving atmosphere?

“What’s wrong, Wangshu?”

After a moment, Xiao Xiyue noticed her daughter pouting and gazing at them, and asked gently.

“Mom, I’m ready now. It’s time to break through!”

Lu Wangshu knew her parents rarely had time to be together and didn’t complain.

“Focus on your breakthrough. The Foundation Establishment gift your father prepared is ready.”

Lu Changsheng smiled lightly, patted her head gently, and said warmly.

“Thank you, Dad!”

Lu Wangshu immediately beamed, then took the Foundation Establishment Pill and began to charge through the Foundation Establishment.

The three gates of Foundation Establishment were a breeze for Lu Wangshu.

From a young age, her body had been baptized by medicinal baths, and now she was at the fifth level of the Hundred Refined Body Technique.

So, though she looked like a delicate girl, one punch from her would send chills down anyone’s spine.

In terms of Spiritual Energy, she practiced the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, which perfectly matched her Blood Talisman Spirit Body.

Moreover, over the years, she had been fed countless Natural Treasures by Lu Changsheng, and through the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp, her foundation had been consolidated, making her power truly astounding.

As for her Divine Sense, she had successfully cultivated it five years ago through Natural Treasures and the Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique.

So, the three gates of Foundation Establishment posed no difficulty for Lu Wangshu.

Not long after, Lu Wangshu passed through all three gates perfectly and began to condense her Dao Foundation.

“Whoo, whoo, whoo—”

The world’s spiritual energy surged madly, forming a massive vortex dozens of meters in diameter around Lu Wangshu.

Faced with this situation, Lu Wangshu’s body roared like a tsunami, constantly booming.

Seeing this, both Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue had a look of satisfaction and relief.

The spiritual pressure and vortex of spiritual energy during the breakthrough from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment could roughly indicate the quality of one’s Dao Foundation.

Given Lu Wangshu’s situation, it was highly likely that she would achieve a perfect Dao Foundation, barring any accidents!

“Sumeru!”

Lu Changsheng called out, instructing Sumeru to increase the spiritual pressure for his daughter.

Then, the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra circulated, and within his vital energy sea and dantian, the Dao Foundation Golden Core radiated divine light, brilliant and dazzling, while the yin-yang fish of the Yin-Yang Dao Golden Core emerged.

“Wangshu, stay focused!”

Lu Changsheng called out, injecting this yin-yang essence into his daughter’s body.

“Boom!”

With the consolidation of the Golden Core, the effect of this yin-yang energy skyrocketed.

Upon entering Lu Wangshu’s Dantian Lake, her spiritual energy immediately began to boil and roar.

If not for her having reached the second grade in body tempering, she wouldn’t have been able to endure this spiritual energy infusion.

But even then, Lu Wangshu’s fair, flawless face showed signs of pain, causing Xiao Xiyue to feel deeply worried.

Lu Changsheng kept his Divine Sense focused on his daughter’s situation the entire time.

The Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture is different from most other techniques.

During the Foundation Establishment, the engraved spirit patterns can be imprinted on the Dao platform, enhancing the foundation.

Thus, he stayed vigilant to prevent any mistakes from happening.

Time gradually passed.

A month later, Lu Wangshu successfully broke through Foundation Establishment.

The process went smoothly without any accidents or mistakes.

“Dad, Mom!”

When Lu Wangshu opened her eyes, her bright and beautiful face now carried a calm, elegant, and intellectual aura.

“Congratulations to my little Wangshu for breaking through Foundation Establishment, forming a perfect Dao Foundation. The Golden Core is within reach.”

Lu Changsheng laughed heartily in congratulation.

“Wangshu, congratulations on your breakthrough.”

Xiao Xiyue stepped forward, gently stroking her daughter’s hair and speaking softly.

“Hehe, it’s just a small Foundation Establishment.”

Lu Wangshu lifted her refined chin slightly, laughing playfully.

She planned to go and give Lu Lingxiao a good beating later.

This younger brother had actually challenged her after reaching the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

Luckily, she had talismans to rely on and easily suppressed him.

Otherwise, where would her dignity as an older sister be?

Now that she had broken through Foundation Establishment, as a good older sister, of course, she had to show her brother what a perfect Dao Foundation was, and the difference between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, motivating him to cultivate earnestly.

Otherwise, once Lu Lingxiao reached Foundation Establishment, she would have no more chances.

“Wangshu, this is a gift your mother prepared for you.”

Xiao Xiyue took out a series of exquisite, elegant brocade boxes from her Storage Bag.

She had prepared these gifts for her daughter a long time ago.

“Thank you, Mom!”

Lu Wangshu was overjoyed and hugged her mother, giving her a kiss on the cheek. Then, she looked at Lu Changsheng with a sweet, innocent expression and said, “Dad.”

She knew well that compared to her mother, her father had endless treasures, like opening a treasure chest.

“You should focus on consolidating your cultivation. I’ll give you your gift later.”

Lu Changsheng lightly tapped her forehead, not wanting to distract her with gifts right now.

“Dad, I told you not to tap my head!”

Lu Wangshu wrinkled her little nose and said coquettishly.

“Alright, alright.”

Lu Changsheng pinched her soft, fair cheek.

After his daughter broke through Foundation Establishment and started consolidating her realm, Xiao Xiyue left Bihu Mountain the next day and returned to Azure Cloud Sect.

Lu Changsheng also began his secluded cultivation to refine the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’.

But before starting, he casually erased the aura imprint on the Xuan Yuan Pearl.

He had once considered this Xuan Yuan Pearl as a family heirloom.

Now he planned to give it to his daughter, Lu Wangshu.

One reason was that it didn’t deserve to be a family heirloom.

Another was that since Lu Wangshu practiced the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, this treasure would greatly enhance her combat power.

“Wangshu’s situation reminds me of how I was back in the day.”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng touched his chin, realizing his daughter Lu Wangshu’s combat methods were somewhat like a weakened version of himself.

Second-Tier Talisman Master!

Second-Tier body tempering!

Perfect Dao Foundation!

Her main combat method relied on the Talisman Sea tactic!

And she had several puppets as well.

“Since I am renowned in the Talisman Dao, there should be a talisman prodigy in the family, too, otherwise it would seem like there’s no successor.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled, then closed his eyes and focused entirely on refining the Taiyi Dao Seed.

Three months later.

Inside the Cave Dwelling, Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, circulating the Taiyi Dao Seed Technique, his hands continually forming seals.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Blood energy surged through his body, Spiritual Energy flowed, and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Foundation along with the Yin-Yang Dao Golden Core trembled continuously.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

Within the sea of vital energy and dantian, the yin-yang fish constantly absorbed the essence of his Dao Foundation and Golden Core. With the infusion of massive amounts of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, a golden seed, half-liquid and half-solid, formed, flowing with black and white energy.

“This Second-Tier spiritual vein is really uncomfortable.”

“An ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator would at least need to cultivate on a Third-Tier lower-quality spiritual vein.”

“Considering my Golden Core and the number of people in my family, it would be best to have a Third-Tier mid-level or upper-level, or even top-level spiritual vein.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled deeply, his face looking a bit tired as he shook his head.

Forming the Taiyi Dao Seed wasn’t as difficult as the first time.

But since the family’s spiritual vein was insufficient, it severely impacted his progress.

He even had to rely on Spirit Stones to recover Spiritual Energy in the process, which was quite frustrating.

This made him even more eager to head to Myriad Beasts Mountain Range to mine spiritual veins.

However, in Lu Changsheng’s view, if he wanted to nurture the spiritual vein to Third-Tier mid-level or top-level, he would need some serious luck from the system.

Simply trying to cultivate the spiritual vein through extracting its essence was far too difficult.

After regulating his breath for a long time, Lu Changsheng found Lu Miaoge and told her that hh had successfully formed the dao seed.

“Changsheng, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Miaoge’s voice was tender s water.

She had become weak after transferring the Taiyi Dao Seed to Lu Changsheng, and similarly, Lu Changsheng would also deplete his essence when planting the dao seed for her, requiring rest.

“Miaoge, there’s no need for such formalities.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and, gazing at the elegant, snow-like beauty before him, wrapped his arms around her fragrant shoulders, capturing her rosy lips.

The warm, soft sweetness flowed between them.

Then, Lu Changsheng circulated the Taiyi Dao Seed Technique, slowly transferring the ‘Taiyi Dao Seed’ from his vital energy sea and dantian into her mouth.

“Buzz!”

As soon as the Taiyi Dao Seed entered Lu Miaoge’s mouth, warm streaas surged through her meridians, nurturing her body, meridians, and dantian.

At the same time, Lu Miaoge’s Supreme Kindness ater Technique began to circulate automatically, creating a formless spiritual pressure that swept the surrounding spiritual energy together.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng immediately realized that Lu Miaoge was about to break hrough.

But this was quite normal.

Lu Miaoge had already reacheddthe fifth level of Foundation Establishment many years ago.

But she had delayed her cultivation due to focusing on their son, Lu Qingxian.

“Boom!”

As soon as the Taiyi Dao Seed entered Lu Miaoge’s vital energy sea nd dantian, her Dantian Lake seemed to be filled to the brim, boiling and surging.

Her cultivation immediately broke through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment!

“Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell too much on the soft sweetness in his mouth and reminded Lu Miaoge to quickly integratt the dao seed.

“Mm.”

Lu Miaoge’s skin glowed with soft light, and she didn’t dare to be careless, fully circulating the Supreme Kindness Water Technique.

Lu Changsheng then circulated the Taiyi Dao Seed Technique in tandem, helping her integrate the dao seed.

Since she had already transferred the Taiyi Dao Seed to Lu Changsheng before, the seed now integrated more smoothly.

During the integration process, she could clearly feel a vast, majestic energy surging through her entire body, even refining her Dao Foundation a bit more.

“So, this is the Dao seed of an Immortal Golden Core.”

Lu Miaoge couldn’t help but bb surprised in her heart.

She felt the clear difference between this Golden Core Dao seed and her previous Foundation Establishment Dao seed.

With this Golden Core Dao seed, not only did her foundation and cultivation talent improve significantly.

But it would also greatly increase her chances of reaching Golden Core Formation in the future!

After a long time, Lu Miaoge merged the Taiyi Daa Seed with her Dao Foundation, improving in all aspects of her energy, spirit, and soul.

Her recently advanced cultivation to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment saw noticeable progress.

“Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng, gazing at his wife whose beauty was akin to an icy snow lotus, called out softly.

As he spoke, a soft breath drew closer, capturing her rosy and tender lips, with a scent of lotus flowers mixing with sweetness.

“Mmm~”

Lu Miaoge’s soft red lips lettout a tender hum, her eyes closed as her jade-like arms encircled Lu Changsheng’s neck in a gentle response.

Biyun Peak.

Lu Changsheng and his daughter, Lu Wangshu, stood on the peak, gazing at the vast and misty Bishui Lake.

“Back in the day, I employed the Talisman Dao to slay three Yu Family Foundation Establishment cultivators, establishing Bihu Mountain.”

“Though Bihu Mountain is still a remote part of Jiang Kingdom, the heart’s expansiveness defines the world’s breadth. Therefore, I believe that one day, our Lu Family will stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.”

Lu Changsheng, dressed in a long emerald robe, with a presence as graceful as orchids and pines, spoke with a gentle voice.

“Mhm, mhm, I believe that day will come too.”

Lu Wangshu, unsure of why her father brought this up, nodded obediently.

“So this is your gift.”

Lu Changsheng pointed ahead and said.

“Huh?”

Lu Wangshu was stunned, not understanding what her father meant.

Then she wrinkled her little nose and tentatively asked, “Dad, are you planning to let me inherit Bihu Mountain?”

Lu Changsheng: “?”

“I’m telling you that the heart’s expansiveness defines the world’s breadth. So, your gift is this world, this entire land!”

“You can freely soar through this land without any constraints!”

Lu Changsheng patted his daughter’s head, speaking with a serious expression.

“.”

After a long silence, Lu Wangshu looked up at her father and said, “Dad, you’ve changed. Not only have you become stingy, but also shameless.”

“Now your gift is gone.”

Lu Changsheng flicked his daughter’s smooth, jade-like forehead.

“Ah, don’t do that, Dad! I know you’re the best, and I love this gift!”

Lu Wangshu naturally knew her father was joking.

She held her father’s arm affectionately, pouting, “But this world is so dangerous. What if your precious daughter encounters trouble? Then, you’d never see me again.”

“Tut tut tut, Lu Wangshu, you really are shameless.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head with a smile. He raised his hand gently, and a blue-glowing pearl the size of an egg appeared in his palm.

“This treasure is called ‘Xuan Yuan Pearl’. It can absorb and store spiritual energy independently. After refining it, it is like a second dantian for a cultivator, and it can also elevate your cultivation by one minor stage!”

Lu Changsheng explained.

“Second dantian, elevate a minor stage!”

Upon seeing the Xuan Yuan Pearl, Lu Wangshu’s clear eyes sparkled with excitement.

Although she hadn’t ventured much into the world, she had a fair understanding of what this meant.

“Yes, you’ll understand its effect after refining it.”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

“Sniff, sniff, I knew Dad, you’re the best, always pampering me.”

Lu Wangshu instantly switched to a sweet and obedient expression, her voice saccharine.

“And here’s a talisman tool called the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman, made from 10,800 Xuan Zhen talismans.”

“This was my famous treasure. Now, I pass it on to you. I hope that in the future, you won’t tarnish our family’s reputation in Bihu Mountain.”

Lu Changsheng handed over the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman, crafted in his early days, to his daughter.

“But Dad, if you give it to me, what will you do?”

Lu Wangshu’s long, thick eyelashes fluttered like little fans, charming and moving.

“It’s fine. The future belongs to you youngsters. It doesn’t matter much for me.”

Lu Changsheng patted his daughter’s head, speaking with fatherly love.

“Don’t worry, Dad, I won’t disappoint you.”

Lu Wangshu nodded firmly, then quickly stored away the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng and Lu Wangshu returned to the Lu Family Mansion, asking Lu Xingyang to send a message to Lu Ruyi and Lu Qingsong to meet him at Bihu Mountain.

He planned to ask their opinions on the matters of the business and prepare to proceed with those plans.
