Chapter 439: Order to Open the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm!

With Caiyun Zhenren’s handwritten decree and Xiao Xiyue, a true disciple of Azure Cloud Sect, accompanying him, Lu Changsheng’s guest official procedures were completed smoothly.

“Mount Lord Lu, as you’ve become a guest official of the Azure Cloud Sect, your family’s tribute can be reduced by half from now on.”

The recording elder finished processing Lu Changsheng’s paperwork and said respectfully.

Currently, Caiyun Peak has two Golden Core cultivators, making its status rather unusual.

That Lu Changsheng could obtain a decree from Caiyun Zhenren and become a guest official naturally earned him some respect.

Moreover, for someone to become a Third-Tier Talisman Master at such a young age means they have extraordinary talent in Talisman Making, making him worth befriending.

“Thank you, Elder Lin.”

Lu Changsheng responded politely.

Right now, my family occupies Bihu Mountain, White Tiger Mountain, and Flower and Fruit Mountain—three spiritual lands, requiring an annual payment of 35,000 Spirit Stones.

That’s not a small amount, so being able to skip half of it is pretty decent.

However, aside from this benefit, the other benefits and treatment were quite average.

Other than being able to exchange for some Natural Treasures or techniques with Azure Cloud Sect, there’s basically nothing else.

“With this guest official badge, it’ll be much more convenient to visit Azure Cloud Sect in the future.”

Lu Changsheng played with the Identity Token in his hand, smiling lightly.

Although I have connections with Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing,

I still had to send word each time I came to Azure Cloud Sect and wait for the two women to pick me up.

Or, I’d have to rely on my status as the Bihu Mountain Lord and wait in the guest hall—not entering Azure Cloud Sect alone.

Now, with this guest official token, it’ll be much easier to come and go between Caiyun Peak and Spirit Herb Peak.

After a simple yet busy day, Lu Changsheng returned to Caiyun Peak with Xiao Xiyue to assist her with her cultivation.

Chiyang Peak.

After scolding both Sima Qiuhua and Song Cheng, Song Qingzhi realized that Lu Changsheng may have already aligned himself with Yun Wanshang.

This revelation caused a surge of inexplicable anger in her heart.

But then, she started to think.

How could Lu Changsheng get close to Yun Wanshang?

She knew Yun Wanshang well.

Normally, she’s as proud as they come, looking down on most men.

So how could she be involved with Lu Changsheng, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator?

While she didn’t actually believe Yun Wanshang was doing it to annoy her,

she didn’t like Yun Wanshang at all and even deeply hated her, thinking she had stolen her Golden Core fortune.

But Song Qingzhi couldn’t deny that Yun Wanshang never really considered her worth noticing.

Most of the time, it’s been one-sided.

And that’s exactly why she felt both jealous and inferior to Yun Wanshang.

“There’s something off, absolutely something off!”

Song Qingzhi’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she thought to herself, suspecting that there was definitely some hidden secret between the two.

Otherwise, Yun Wanshang wouldn’t be involved with a small-time cultivator like Lu Changsheng—especially not in such a way.

“Could it be that Yun Wanshang has developed feelings for Lu Changsheng?”

This idea popped into Song Qingzhi’s mind.

But as soon as it did, she shook her head, dismissing it.

Lu Changsheng may indeed be exceptionally handsome and have a unique aura—

even Song Qingzhi herself felt a twinge of heartthrob.

But someone like Yun Wanshang?

Would she fall for mere looks and charm alone?

Unless he were an unparalleled genius whose talent and strength surpassed Yun Wanshang, then maybe.

But for a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator? Absolutely impossible!

“No matter what, there is definitely something between the two!”

Song Qingzhi’s stunning face showed a firm resolve.

This wasn’t just based on her knowledge of Yun Wanshang but also on her instincts as a woman!

At that moment, Song Qingzhi felt a deep interest in uncovering the relationship between the two, and whether Yun Wanshang had some unspeakable secret.

Just then, a loud, robust voice came from outside.

“Qingzhi, Caiyun Zhenren just mentioned that Lu Changsheng from Bihu Mountain has an old connection with Xiyue. He once saved Xiyue’s life. So let’s not interfere in Bihu Mountain and Xuanwu Ridge affairs; she will handle it.”

Immortal Chiyang walked into the Great Hall and said to Song Qingzhi.

“Saved Xiao Xiyue’s life?”

Song Qingzhi paused upon hearing that.

She had already speculated something along those lines, but it all seemed too simple to accept.

“Qingzhi, since Caiyun Zhenren has spoken, let’s leave it at that.”

Immortal Chiyang worried his partner hadn’t truly understood him, and continued, “Besides, Caiyun Zhenren is always just and will not blatantly favor someone.”

“Fine, I understand.”

Song Qingzhi, feeling a surge of inexplicable frustration, agreed.

Her partner, a Golden Core cultivator, Top-Tier equipment refiner, and someone of esteemed status in Azure Cloud Sect, was always obsessed with refining, never bothering with outside matters.

Even though Yun Wanshang had spoken, Immortal Chiyang’s position and status meant he didn’t have to give in.

But he never stated his case firmly.

Just like when Yun Wanshang competed with her for that Condensing Crystal Pill, if Immortal Chiyang had been willing to go all out, she could have won it.

“Hmm, if you think Sima Qiuhua was unfairly treated in all this, you can make it up to her later.”

Immortal Chiyang knew his partner cherished her dignity greatly, and having promised to help Sima Qiuhua, she must feel displeased.

“I get it, I won’t pursue this matter any further.”

Song Qingzhi saw through the intent behind her partner’s words.

He was concerned she’d look for Yun Wanshang or try to find something against Bihu Mountain.

“By the way, the sect leader has just met with us to discuss the confirmation of the date to open the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm.”

“You can have Cheng and Qiuhua participate. If you need additional spots, just give me the list later.”

Immortal Chiyang’s appearance was stern yet mild-mannered. His tone was calm as he continued.

“So, the timing for the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm is finally decided?”

Song Qingzhi asked, showing some surprise and curiosity, “Is it dangerous?”

“Heavenly Sword Sect has sent word that True Lord Xuanjian will personally oversee it, so there won’t be any danger.”

Immortal Chiyang said with a smile.

“True Lord Xuanjian…”

Song Qingzhi was taken aback at the mention of the name, not expecting even this Lord would be involved.

It seems that the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm could lead to substantial ramifications for the Jiang Kingdom.

“Dear, I’ll be needing to make some preparations, and I plan to craft some items over the next few days.”

After a brief chat, Immortal Chiyang stood and took his leave.

“Fine, go ahead.”

Song Qingzhi said, rather unkindly, as she watched her partner depart.

Then she continued pondering the situation between Yun Wanshang and Lu Changsheng.

Upon returning to Caiyun Peak from the Azure Cloud Sect’s Great Hall, Yun Wanshang felt a faint, inexplicable pulse connected to her Jade Phoenix Marrow Body.

This sensation immediately made her face turn chilly; she guessed what Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue were doing.

“Hmph! Is this scoundrel solving Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation problems this way?”

Yun Wanshang was both angry and bitter at Lu Changsheng. Does he think he’ll die without a woman?

Coming to Azure Cloud Sect just to do this with Xiao Xiyue.

She couldn’t even meditate in peace because of it.

If not for her concern about her disciple’s face, she would have summoned Lu Changsheng to scold him by now.

Not long after Yun Wanshang returned to her palace, a figure came to the entrance and reported: “Peak Master, I have taken Sima Tong to the Enforcement Palace.”

“However, Bihu Mountain’s demands are rather high, and Sima Tong is half-crippled already. Forcing the Sima Family to comply might cause them dissatisfaction and lead to concerns from other families and factions.”

Jinxiu respectfully reported to Yun Wanshang from outside the palace.

“What demands did Bihu Mountain make? What’s Sima Tong’s condition?”

Moments later, Yun Wanshang’s voice echoed in Jinxiu’s mind.

“Bihu Mountain requested 500,000 Spirit Stones, a plot of spiritual land, thirty shops in the Market under Xuanwu Ridge, freely chosen by Bihu Mountain, unrestricted access to all trade points, and a vow of no retaliation for a hundred years.”

“As for Sima Tong, his natal magical treasure self-destructed, his meridians and dantian are damaged, and his inner core is dim with a slight crack. It’s unlikely he will recover.”

Jinxiu reported.

“?”

Hearing these demands, Yun Wanshang immediately understood why those from Chiyang Peak and the Sima Family couldn’t come to an agreement with Lu Changsheng.

Such demands are exorbitant. The Sima Family could train one or even two False Core cultivators for this price.

Why would they pay so dearly just to apologize and bow to Bihu Mountain for the sake of a half-crippled False Core cultivator?

“Reduce the Spirit Stones demand to 200,000, retain the land, but allow them to select ten shops. Use this condition and summon the Sima Family to collect their person.”

Yun Wanshang instructed.

While she could have held firm and demanded even harsher terms, forcing the Sima Family to comply,

as the head of the Enforcement Palace, she couldn’t show too much bias towards Lu Changsheng.

Otherwise, how would the Sima Family, other factions, and Azure Cloud Sect disciples view her actions?

Besides, the issue involved Immortal Chiyang.

If she pushed too far, she’d end up disrespecting Immortal Chiyang and making him lose face.

Recently, the conflict between the Bihu Mountain Lu Family and the Sima Family of Xuanwu Ridge has been spreading and escalating.

The news is circulating beyond the entire Qingyun Region and even reaching the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world.

Initially, many people dismissed it as a rumor, half-believing, half-doubting.

But as the situation continued to spread, more people heard it, and they gradually started believing it, significantly boosting Bihu Mountain’s reputation.

At this moment, within the Xu Family.

“The Bihu Mountain Lu Family—Lu Ping’an, almost a Third-Tier Body Tempering, and Lu Changsheng has advanced to a Third-Tier Talisman Master?”

One of the elders of the Xu Family who heard the news showed a thoughtful expression.

Ten years ago, the Third Ancestor of the Xu Family, Xu Ge, went to Bihu Mountain intending to ambush Lu Changsheng, the Mountain Lord, but ended up perishing outside, with no clue as to who was responsible.

Afterward, the Xu Family sent people to investigate Bihu Mountain’s situation.

But no matter how hard they searched, they found no information or traces of the battle.

And since Bihu Mountain is close to Azure Cloud Sect, they feared the sect might be involved, so they dropped the investigation.

Now, with Lu Ping’an possessing False Core-like combat power and Lu Changsheng’s advancement, doubts began to arise.

After all, in the cultivation world, every family has some hidden cards and mysterious powers,

and for Bihu Mountain Lu Family to rise to such a level in just a few decades implies they have great opportunities and secrets.

Especially considering Lu Ping’an, who, at his age, already has such combat power—their hidden secrets are no small matter!

They might even have a one-time-use treasure capable of ambushing a False Core cultivator.

Now that Lu Changsheng has become a Third-Tier Talisman Master, who knows if he reached this level now or much earlier?

If he advanced earlier and possessed multiple Third-Tier Talismans, it’s possible he could have been responsible for killing Xu Ge.

After all, battles between cultivators are unpredictable.

Even a formidable False Core cultivator like Xu Ge could be caught off guard and fall victim if he underestimates someone wielding several high-level talismans.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to report this suspicion to the Xu Family head and keep a close eye on Bihu Mountain, gathering information.

Xie Family.

Following Lu Miaoyun’s instructions, Lu ingchen went to visit the Xie Family at Lingxi Lake, delivering an invitation.

Upon reaching the Xie Family, he learned that the Fifth Elder had already taken the initiative to visit his family.

“Big Brother subdued the False Core ancestor of the Sima Family?”

Lu Xingchen was completely stunned by this news.

He knew his big brother was strong and extraordinarily powerful.

But he never imagined that his brother was powerful enough to subdue a False Core ancestor.

And just like that, our family has risen to become a False Core family?

He thought it would take at least another 30 to 50 years before their family could hope to advance to become a False Core or even a Golden Core-level family.

“Young Master Lu, it seems you’ve been traveling and haven’t heard. Else you could’ve easily learned about this at any of the Marketplaces.”

The Xie Family head warmly received Lu Xingchen.

After all, Lu Xingchen’s visit represented Bihu Mountain’s goodwill, signaling a desire to foster a relationship with the Xie Family.

Under such circumstances, the Xie Family head naturally wanted to personally greet Lu Xingchen.

“I’ve been hurrying on my way, so indeed, I hadn’t heard the news.”

Lu Xingchen replied with a smile.

He bears a strong resemblance to his father, Lu Changsheng, and the temperament he exudes after practicing the Baoding Medicine King Scripture makes him similar to his father—gentle and refined.

“Young Master Lu, are you married? Our Xie Family…”

The Xie Family head spoke with a smile.

Marriage alliances between families are the most common way to strengthen ties.

The Xie Family elder who recently visited Bihu Mountain likely had the same thought in mind, possibly even offering their daughters to Lu Changsheng.

But with Lu Changsheng seldom appearing in public and most matters handled by his wife, it was difficult for these families to propose such alliances.

After all, it’s awkward to openly ask another’s husband if he wants to marry into your family.

Besides, now that Lu Changsheng has attained status,

sending women at the low Qi Refining stage wouldn’t even qualify them as servants, let alone concubines.

And sending a Foundation Establishment woman for marriage is unthinkable.

So, their attention gradually shifted to the younger generation within the Lu Family.

Although they hadn’t heard much about Lu Xingchen until now,

seeing that he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, they began to consider a marriage alliance.

“Thank you, Patriarch Xie, but I have no plans for marriage at the moment.”

Lu Xingchen replied.

He wasn’t opposed to marriage or a family alliance,

but he wasn’t going to decide such a matter on his own.

“Very well, since Young Master Lu has come such a long way, feel free to stay and enjoy our hospitality.”

The Xie Family head offered warmly, planning to introduce several family daughters to Lu Xingchen later.

If the two sides could see eye to eye, it would be the best possible outcome.

Caiyun Peak.

Mingyue Pavilion.

In recent days, Lu Changsheng has been intertwined with Xiao Xiyue, assisting her in her cultivation.

After all, Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation had long since reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

It wouldn’t be long before she broke through to the eighth level.

Under these circumstances, Lu Changsheng naturally needed to help Xiao Xiyue resolve her condition as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when Xiao Xiyue was preparing to enter the Golden Core stage, and her Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique issue still wasn’t resolved, things would become awkward.

“Buzz—”

On the bed, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue became one. As Yin and Yang merged, an invisible cauldron appeared above their heads, with the Sun and Moon revolving around it.

At the peak of the palace, Yun Wanshang opened her eyes while meditating. She wanted to ask them if they would ever be done.

These days, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue had been continually practicing the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, causing Yun Wanshang’s Jade Phoenix Marrow Body to resonate faintly.

As a result, Yun Wanshang couldn’t focus on her cultivation at all.

“This won’t work. I need to see if there’s a formation that can block this pulse.”

Yun Wanshang thought as she considered how, with Lu Changsheng now a guest official at Caiyun Peak, he would likely visit often in the future.

She needed to hurriedly find someone to set up several layers of formations to try and block this resonance.

Otherwise, how could she possibly continue cultivating?

She really didn’t want this strange sense of involvement.

“Huh?”

That day, Yun Wanshang suddenly opened her beautiful eyes as if awakening from a dream, realizing that the resonance had stopped?

Was it over, or had she simply gotten used to it?

She tried to recall, but couldn’t remember when the last pulse had even occurred.

At that moment, Yun Wanshang sent a voice transmission to Steward Jinxiu, instructing her to go to Mingyue Pavilion and summon Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue.

Over at Mingyue Pavilion, Xiao Xiyue heard from the maid Green Willow that the Peak’s steward had come to summon her and Lu Changsheng, and a flush of shyness immediately appeared on her fair, jade-like face.

She realized that her master must have noticed what she’d been doing these past few days.

Or perhaps, her master wanted to instruct something else after they’d handled the guest official paperwork.

But even after finishing the paperwork, the two of them had been so entangled since that they completely forgot about the time.

“It’s all my fault. Whenever I’m with you, Xiyue, I lose track of time.”

Lu Changsheng, however, was very composed as he embraced Xiao Xiyue’s beautiful and mature figure, which seemed to flow with a jade-like brilliance, speaking softly.

After discovering that Caiyun Zhenren was the same early Golden Core woman with whom he’d once shared a night, and after multiple in-depth discussions and intimate exchanges, Lu Changsheng no longer feared her.

He only thought about making her the mother of his children.

After tenderly embracing for a while, the two of them fixed their clothes and presented themselves before the palace atop the peak, bowing as if they were an immortal couple.

“Truly…”

Yun Wanshang looked at the two outside, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn’t quite express.

“Boom!”

The palace doors opened.

Yun Wanshang, dressed in a colorful palace gown, seemed even more majestic and beautiful as her long, flowing skirt enhanced her noble aura.

“Xiyue, you and I agreed on fifty years, half of which have passed.”

“If you fail to reach the Golden Core stage within the remaining time, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Yun Wanshang looked down at Xiao Xiyue, her voice cold and imposing.

After saying this, she turned her gaze toward Lu Changsheng, her eyes calm as she spoke with the authority of a thousand-year-old icicle: “Lu Changsheng, the same applies to you. No matter our past interaction, I will show no mercy.”

“Please don’t worry, Immortal!”

Lu Changsheng’s handsome face showed a faint smile, a look of complete confidence as he replied.

He then gently squeezed Xiao Xiyue’s jade-like hand, reassuring her.

This scene left Yun Wanshang puzzled, wondering where Lu Changsheng’s confidence came from.

However, she had to admit that this confident and enthusiastic side of Lu Changsheng was extremely charming—totally different from his usually shameless demeanor.

“Master, I understand.”

Despite her lack of confidence, Xiao Xiyue responded after Lu Changsheng’s encouragement.

“Alright.”

Yun Wanshang nodded slightly, then looked back at Lu Changsheng, and continued, “I’ve already sent people to settle the matter between you and the Sima Family of Xuanwu Ridge.”

“Afterward, the Sima Family’s compensation will be sent to Bihu Mountain. This ends the matter. With my decree, the Sima Family will absolutely not dare to retaliate against you.”

Yun Wanshang declared.

With just one decree, she had personally handled the issue, effectively telling the outside world that the Bihu Mountain had the backing of the Azure Cloud Sect and Caiyun Peak lineage.

Under such circumstances, unless Bihu Mountain provoked others first,

even the Beast Taming Xu Family would think twice before touching Bihu Mountain.

“Thank you, Immortal!”

Lu Changsheng replied with a respectful bow.

He knew that with Yun Wanshang’s intimidating presence, his family could peacefully thrive for quite a long time.

“Now that your family has reached this stage, try to stay low-key. Being too high-profile is not advisable.”

Yun Wanshang’s voice, gentle and soothing yet filled with the dignified authority of someone who has long resided in a place of power, became a little more serene now.

“Hmm?”

Hearing her words, Lu Changsheng paused; it seemed as if her words carried a hidden warning.

He immediately inquired, “Please, Immortal, enlighten me!”

“Whenever a sect develops to a certain extent, a Pioneering Decree is issued, triggering a pioneering war.”

“For hundreds of years, Azure Cloud Sect hasn’t issued a Pioneering Decree.”

“In recent years, conflicts have erupted between Yue Kingdom and Liang Kingdom several times. If the strife escalates into full-blown war, the Jiang Kingdom might be implicated and dragged in.”

“Moreover, Jiang Kingdom hasn’t been peaceful either. I’m sure you’ve noticed.”

Yun Wanshang glanced at Lu Changsheng, her voice calm and aloof.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s heart tightened.

He dimly understood Yun Wanshang’s implication—

that in the future, Jiang Kingdom might face either a sect-led pioneering war or a full-fledged war in the cultivation world!

Both the Pioneering War and a Cultivation World War signify bloodshed and danger!

Once such wars break out, all Jiang Kingdom cultivators, whether rogue cultivators or cultivation families, must obediently heed the sect’s orders!

Back when they only summoned other factions to exterminate the Xiahou Family, deviant cultivators, many families declined rapidly.

The danger of such a war grips the heart.

Countless families will rise or fall during the chaos!

At that time, the larger the family, the stronger the power, the more effort will be required.

“Thank you, Immortal, for your guidance. I understand.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, nodding.

When the war begins, sect disciples must head to the battlefield.

So even with Yun Wanshang’s protection, he can’t remain untouched.

Yun Wanshang’s reminder was evidently telling him that the signs are already appearing, so he’d better keep a low profile.

“Mm.”

Yun Wanshang nodded slightly and continued, “The Four Great Immortal Sects will soon open the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm. By then, Bihu Mountain will have one spot.”

“Prepare yourself well. When the time comes, enter the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm to gain insights from the Heavenly Stele; it will benefit you.”

“As for the details about the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm, you can ask Xiyue.”

Yun Wanshang’s face was stunningly beautiful, exuding dignity without any need for makeup.

“Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm? Insights from the Heavenly Stele?”

Lu Changsheng was slightly surprised. He wasn’t expecting the conversation to shift towards the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm.

He was naturally aware of the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm.

Many years ago, Xiao Xiyue had gone there with Caiyun Zhenren and her senior sister, Chu Qingyi, to pioneer it.

Now, rumors abound outside, claiming that the secret realm lures numerous Golden Core cultivators from other countries, all aiming to seize its treasures.

And now Yun Wanshang had said that the Four Great Immortal Sects planned to open the realm and let him in to gain insights from the Heavenly Stele?

However, Yun Wanshang waved her hand, dismissing them before Lu Changsheng could probe further, and the palace doors closed.

“Xiyue, what’s the deal with this Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm?”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng turned to Xiao Xiyue.

Due to sect rules and her oath, Xiao Xiyue couldn’t reveal much information before, so Lu Changsheng hadn’t pried further.

“The Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm should be fully cleared by now. The Heavenly Stele within it is a great opportunity.”

“I’m not clear on the exact details, but I know that everyone who studies the Heavenly Stele can gain cultivation insights, experiences, or inheritances.”

Xiao Xiyue explained, mentioning that she and her fellow disciples had gained considerable rewards from it back then.

However, each person can only study the Heavenly Stele once; a second attempt is impossible.

“Currently, the talk outside about the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm is everywhere. Even many of the Golden Core cultivators from other countries are drawn here.”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, whispering, “Wouldn’t opening the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm now be a trap?”

He had experienced the Nine Heavens Immortal City event in the past and knew that the Heavenly Sword Sect wasn’t easily provoked.

Back then, True Lord Xuanjian was challenged by the Demonic Dao True Lord from the Jin Kingdom. The Heavenly Sword Sect knew that the Demonic Dao cultivators harbored ill intent and were secretly plotting in the Jiang Kingdom, but still allowed them to enter Nine Heavens Immortal City.

As a result, after the battle, they captured a Golden Core cultivator without injury, killed two others, and took down seven or eight False Core cultivators.

If it weren’t for one Golden Core cultivator who was willing to sacrifice everything by self-destructing his True Core, the casualties for the Demonic Dao would have been far worse.

Now, with the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm open, it made him recall the events in Nine Heavens Immortal City from years ago.

He suspected that the four great immortal sects opened the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm at this moment to lure in Demonic Dao cultivators and then eliminate them all at once, as a show of power.

Otherwise, the timing seems too perfect.

“Not a bad assumption.”

In the palace, Yun Wanshang heard Lu Changsheng’s words and a faint smile curved her lips.

She wanted Lu Changsheng to go to the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm because the Celestial Stele would indeed benefit him.

If he could gain insights from it and obtain technique inheritances, his chances of successfully forming a Golden Core in the future would increase.

Another reason was that she felt she couldn’t quite see through Lu Changsheng anymore.

So, she wanted to use the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm to probe his situation.

“This…”

Xiao Xiyue, hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, also thought it was highly likely.

Even though she knew Lu Changsheng had already broken through to Golden Core Formation and become a Golden Core True Lord, she was still a bit worried.

After all, it had only been three years since Lu Changsheng broke through to the Golden Core stage.

Currently, his Divine Abilities and Magical Treasures were not yet complete, and he might run into danger.

“It’ll be fine.”

Seeing Xiao Xiyue’s worried expression, Lu Changsheng gently held her hand and spoke in a soft voice.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely avoid such secret realms.

But since Yun Wanshang had suggested it, if he showed fear and refused, she might end up disappointed.

Given that, he might as well go and take a look.

Besides, since the four great immortal sects dared to do this, they must have confidence and wouldn’t send people in just to die.

Of course, the main reason is that he now has the strength and confidence.

As long as a Nascent Soul True Lord doesn’t show up, even if he faces a Late-Stage Golden Core cultivator, Lu Changsheng is confident he can escape.

“Yes, my senior sister is stationed in the Heavenly Yuan Secret Realm. If you encounter danger, Changsheng, you can seek her protection.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly as she spoke.
