Chapter 506: Lu Lingxiao Infuses Tianzi Vision, Lu Quanzhen Enlightens the Xuantian Spirit Vine!

Biyun Peak, Lingxiao Pavilion.

With the Sumeru Cave Heaven’s Spirit Vein advancing to the third tier, all Lu Family disciples who break through Foundation Establishment will receive a Foundation Establishment Cave Dwelling.

It’s not that the Cave Dwelling couldn’t accommodate them, it’s just more convenient outside.

“Tianzi Law Seed.”

Lu Lingxiao was shocked hearing his parents’ words, astonished that such heavenly materials existed in the world.

“Dad, after merging with the Law Seed, will I still be myself?”

After a moment of silence, Lu Lingxiao asked this.

“Of course, the Law Seed will influence your mind over time, just like certain techniques, but you will still be you.”

“If the seed’s nature does not align with yours, there will be rejection.”

Lu Changsheng explained calmly.

“Dad, I am willing to merge with this Law Seed!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxiao’s eyes shone with determination.

He had a clear understanding of his character.

If the Tianzi Law Seed’s influence was only to this extent, it was nothing to worry about.

Because that’s how he truly was!

It’s just that his parents preferred his sister Lu Wangshu’s lively and lovable personality or his brother Lu Qingxian’s gentle and humble nature.

His personality was completely different from theirs.

He wasn’t good at expressing himself, couldn’t win over his parents’ favor, and struggled to maintain good relationships with his siblings.

So he tried to be as calm and restrained as possible.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and a pale golden ball the size of a thumb, flowing with dragon-shaped energy, appeared in his palm.

He then pressed it into Lu Lingxiao’s forehead.

“Boom!”

Instantly, Lu Lingxiao’s mind roared, and four golden characters filled with imperial majesty and domineering aura appeared.

“Tianzi Vision!”

The four characters, like strands of imperial dragon energy, flowed into Lu Lingxiao’s soul, body, and every fiber of his being.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

At this moment, Lu Lingxiao’s Dragon Chant Physique instinctively awakened, his essence boiled and roared, his Dao Foundation radiated ten thousand rays of light, and his spiritual energy and Dragon’s Chant Yang Energy surged like rivers.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

An imposing aura surged from Lu Lingxiao, soaring into the clouds.

Ling Zixiao watched her son nervously, tightly clutching Lu Changsheng’s hand.

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Changsheng gently squeezed his wife’s hand, comforting her with a warm voice.

Due to Lu Lingxiao having Foundation Establishment cultivation, this merging process took much longer than it did for Lu Qingshan.

Of course, it might also be because ‘Tianzi Vision’ is different from ‘Sword Piercing the Big Dipper’, as it includes many combat experiences and an inherent divine ability.

Time passed little by little.

No one knew how much time had passed.

“Boom!”

Lu Lingxiao’s cultivation broke through from the second level of Foundation Establishment to the third level.

It then kept rising until it reached the peak of the third level before gradually stabilizing.

His tall and strong body seemed even more imposing, straight and powerful.

With each breath, dragon-like currents of air flowed from his nose and mouth.

His body was filled with a dark gold hue of destructive energy, exuding a noble and majestic aura.

“Father, Mother!”

After a moment, Lu Lingxiao opened his eyes.

His deep golden eyes seemed to have the cycles of the sun and moon, making it difficult for others to meet his gaze.

Yet, when he looked at his father, he felt as if a brilliant and magnificent celestial sun was before him, a force that pierced the heavens, causing him pain in his eyes.

He knew he had just fused with the Law Seed and hadn’t fully mastered this power.

Moreover, his father’s cultivation was far superior to his.

And, with divine abilities and precious treasures masking his aura, it was impossible to see through him.

If he forcibly tried, it would only harm himself.

“So this is the power of Father.”

From his Master and Mother, Lu Lingxiao always knew his father’s strength was unfathomable, far beyond the rumored late Foundation Establishment.

But at this moment, he profoundly realized his father’s terrifying power!

“Heh.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled.

With his Taiyi Soul and Nine Treasures Dao Bone, even Golden Core cultivators could hardly see through him.

Not to mention the Void Robes and Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus that muddled the heavenly secrets and blocked any divination.

If it were someone else, he could wound or even destroy them with just a single thought.

But this divine ability of his son’s was quite impressive.

Most likely, no one below Golden Core could disguise themselves in front of him.

“Xiaoyao, how do you feel?”

Ling Zixiao immediately asked with concern.

“Mother, I feel great. But I’ve just merged with the Law Seed, so there’s still a lot I need to digest and master over time.”

Lu Lingxiao’s golden pupils lost their celestial brilliance, returning to a semblance of normalcy.

In his early years, his pupils always glowed faintly with golden light.

Now, after merging with the Tianzi Vision Law Seed, he had control over his eyes and pupils without relying on any Artifact to mask them.

However, his eyes were still extraordinary.

They were like two divine lamps, bright and piercing, attracting countless lights.

“Good. Take your time to digest it.”

Hearing this, Ling Zixiao knew that such a heavenly divine object couldn’t be fully merged easily, so she didn’t disturb her son.

“Husband.”

After leaving Lingxiao Pavilion, Ling Zixiao looked gratefully at Lu Changsheng.

From what she had just seen, she could tell that her son’s future rise was unstoppable!

“He’s our son; no need to thank me.”

Lu Changsheng held her soft hand with a gentle smile.

For decades, Ling Zixiao had contributed much to the family, and Lu Changsheng kept it all in mind.

Many things he couldn’t give to his wife, he would channel into their children as a form of compensation.

In a moment of deep emotion, Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao went to the Sumeru Cave Heaven, where they indulged in tender, passionate moments.

Afterward!

Afterward!

Lu Changsheng suddenly found himself missing his daughter Lu Linghe.

This daughter was usually closer to Lu Ping’an and Lu Wangshu.

So she had gone to White Tiger Mountain again some time ago.

After a moment of thought, Lu Changsheng instructed Lu Xingyang to send a message, asking Lu Ping’an to bring Lu Linghe back and to bring the Nine Abyss Mastiff along.

In the past, after consuming a bottle of Beast Origin Pills, the Nine Abyss Mastiff had reached the late second tier.

But to continue growing and break through to the third tier, it would need at least a hundred more years.

During his expedition across the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Lu Changsheng killed three demon kings, one of which was a ‘Moonshadow Wolf’ with attributes similar to the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

So Lu Changsheng planned to have the Nine Abyss Mastiff devour this Monster Core.

This would greatly shorten the Nine Abyss Mastiff’s growth time.

“Yes.”

When Lu Xingyang heard that Lu Ping’an and the Nine Abyss Mastiff were to be summoned back, he was a bit surprised.

But since his father had ordered it, he didn’t ask further and immediately sent someone to deliver the message.

Then, Lu Changsheng went to check on his son Lu Quanzhen.

His condition was still stable, with no significant improvement, and could only be nurtured slowly.

“Quanzhen, come with me.”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng took Lu Quanzhen to the peak of Biyun Peak.

Lu Quanzhen looked at the Sumeru Tree King in front of him, unsure of what was going to happen.

“Sumeru.”

Lu Changsheng softly called out, and the mountain top seemed to tremble slightly; a person-wide tunnel appeared afterward.

“Hmm?”

Lu Quanzhen looked puzzled.

He didn’t expect that besides the Sumeru Cave Heaven, the main peak also had such a secret location.

“Follow me.”

Lu Changsheng said nothing more and entered the tunnel.

A moment later, Lu Quanzhen and Lu Changsheng arrived at the spirit vein area of Biyun Peak.

A wave of pure, intense vitality hit them as they saw the Xuantian Spirit Vine rooted in the spirit vein.

“This is…”

Looking at the Xuantian Spirit Vine, Lu Quanzhen instantly sensed profound Dao insights.

It was as if all things were thriving, full of vitality, endlessly cycling, eventually withering and returning to the earth, full of mystique.

“This vine is full of pure, intense vitality. You can come here regularly to nourish your body; it will be beneficial for you.”

Lu Changsheng said.

The Xuantian Spirit Vine constantly emitted a flourishing vitality, nourishing the spirit vein.

Cultivators living near spirit veins for long periods, meditating and practicing, could even prolong their lives.

So Lu Changsheng allowed Lu Quanzhen to spend more time near the Xuantian Spirit Vine to see if it would help.

“???”

Lu Quanzhen was momentarily stunned, not expecting his father to suggest simply using this vitality to nourish his body.

The intertwined Dao Rhythms flowing on this spirit vine seemed to manifest certain truths, yet using it only for healing seemed like such a waste.

But he noticed that the spirit vine was rooted in his family’s spirit vein, most likely warming it. He would only be borrowing some of the overflowing vitality to heal himself.

“Thank you, Father.”

He bowed respectfully and then asked while observing the patterns on the Xuantian Spirit Vine: “Father, is this pattern a manifestation of some heavenly rule or Dao Rhythm?”

He had heard that some heavenly divine objects bore imprints of universal rules in the form of patterns like birds and beasts, representing the manifestation of heavenly laws.

Many cultivators’ techniques and divine abilities were comprehended from studying these fundamental universal truths.

The Xuantian Spirit Vine before him instantly reminded him of such heavenly materials.

“Indeed, there seems to be a Dao Rhythm related to the cycles of life and death. If you are interested, you may attempt to comprehend it.”

Lu Changsheng responded directly.

He had long noticed the patterns of the heavenly rules on the vine, but had never taken the time to deepen his understanding.

“Thank you, Father.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Quanzhen took out a mat from his Storage Ring and sat down beside the vine.

He then produced a Vajra Relic and a Nine-Eyed Bodhi Seed to aid him.

“Buzz—”

The Bodhi Seed subtly trembled and warmed in front of the Xuantian Spirit Vine.

A strange feeling washed over Lu Quanzhen.

“This…”

Lu Quanzhen was surprised.

This Nine-Eyed Bodhi Seed was a gift from his uncle, Qu Changge.

Back then, it greatly aided him in comprehending and mastering the ‘Five Elements Kun Peng Technique’.

This Bodhi Seed had helped him in many ways while practicing various techniques and divine abilities.

Yet in all these years, it had never shown the reaction it was displaying now.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng, just about to leave the tunnel, raised an eyebrow.

He noticed that the Bodhi Seed in his son’s hand seemed to resonate with the Xuantian Spirit Vine.

But, after a closer look, it seemed the Bodhi Seed was helping Lu Quanzhen comprehend the patterns and Dao Rhythm on the vine, without influencing it negatively.

“Tsk, seems like Quanzhen has quite the opportunity here.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, not paying too much mind to it, though he considered having his other children come and experience the vine’s Dao Rhythm.

He immediately instructed Sumeru to oversee Lu Quanzhen and the Xuantian Spirit Vine.

Lu Quanzhen sat before the Xuantian Spirit Vine, his gaze following the vine’s Dao Rhythm as it cycled from deep blackness to emptiness, before gradually becoming bright and vibrant again.

In his mind, mysterious pattern diagrams seemed to appear, albeit vaguely unclear and elusive.

Lu Quanzhen wasn’t hasty; he remained calm and peaceful, quietly comprehending and observing while verifying his own cultivation.

From flourishing to withering, the cycles of life and death.

He thought of his Yin-Yang Kun Peng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique, which was divided into Yin-Yang Five Elements Kun Peng Technique and Kun Peng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique, one righteous and one demonic.

He also considered his current physical condition, similar to the cycles of flourishing and withering.

Like this, he sat calmly, unmoving, in deep contemplation.

Only the pure and intense vitality of the spirit vine nourished his body, which had been worn down by blood corrosion.

Three days later.

“Dad!”

Lu Ping’an returned to Bihu Mountain with Lu Linghe and the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

“Dad! Mom!”

Lu Linghe, who had taken age-defying spirit pills, still looked youthful, with two cute buns atop her head, appearing innocent and lively.

“Little He.”

Every time Lu Changsheng saw this daughter of his beaming with joy, he felt a sense of healing.

He walked forward, ruffling her twin buns, asking her how she’d been recently.

“Dad, I’ve broken through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining!”

Lu Linghe said, tilting her little head up, sharing her joy.

In her early years, due to her Dragon Chant Physique, Lu Changsheng was hesitant to let her cultivate normally, so her cultivation lagged far behind that of Lu Lingxiao.

But after resolving the issues with her Dragon Chant Physique, with her first-rate Spirit Root, incomplete Spirit Body, and the foundation laid during her childhood, her progress was swift.

“My little He is amazing!”

Lu Changsheng immediately praised.

“Hehe, Dad, here.”

Lu Linghe giggled and then opened her tiny pouch, handing Lu Changsheng a mid-Tier Spirit Stone.

“Why are you giving Father a Spirit Stone?”

With a smile, Lu Changsheng asked.

“I noticed that after getting their allowances, the other kids would give their parents some spending money. Now that I’m earning, I want to give you and Mom some allowance every month as well.”

Lu Linghe handed the Spirit Stone to Lu Changsheng from her small palm.

She hadn’t just been playing at White Tiger Mountain.

Sometimes, she’d go hunting demonic beasts in the Black Cloud Mountain Range with the hunting team or help craft puppets with Artifact refining.

Though the Spirit Stones she earned were likely extra given by Lu Qingsong or Lu Ping’an.

“Sigh…”

A wave of warmth and tenderness washed over Lu Changsheng’s heart; he thought to himself that this daughter was indeed thoughtful, forever his precious little girl.

“Oh, Little He, this isn’t just a little Spirit Stone! It’s too much, too much; you need to save too.”

Lu Changsheng quickly refused, how could he take Spirit Stones from his daughter?

This daughter was somewhat like Lu Wangshu, of the hoarding type, loving to gather treasures.

But unlike Lu Wangshu, this daughter was very generous.

“No, Dad, you have to take it. It’s from my heart!”

Lu Linghe pouted and insisted.

“No, no, it’s too much.”

Lu Changsheng continued to refuse.

….

The others nearby watched this father-daughter interaction, smiling and shaking their heads.

Ling Zixiao, witnessing this scene, suddenly felt it wasn’t so bad that their daughter was carefree.

“Father, we’re short on some medicinal materials; the available Spirit Stones at home aren’t enough, we’re lacking…”

At this time, Lu Xingyang arrived and, seeing Lu Changsheng, spoke up.

The primary components for the medicinal baths were the Third-Tier Demon King’s Essence Blood and bones.

But many supplementary herbs still needed to be collected or purchased.

And Lu Changsheng was planning to prepare a bath for refining all of his Late-Stage Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment children, so the required Spirit Stones were no small amount.

“Zixiao, give Xingyang three hundred thousand Spirit Stones. If you need more, come find me later.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, indicating not to disturb him.

He continued haggling with his daughter,

insisting that two low-tier Spirit Stones would be enough, while a mid-Tier Spirit Stone was simply too much.

Her friends must surely give their parents this much too.

Lu Linghe insisted that since she earned more, it was right to give more, and Mom had the same amount.

….

At this point, Lu Xingyang suddenly realized this was not the right moment to be here.

But seeing his father casually give him three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, while arguing with his sister over a mid-Tier Spirit Stone, left him speechless.

“Alright.”

Ling Zixiao, in a particularly good mood, smiled as she went to the Cave Dwelling to fetch the Spirit Stones.

Lu Changsheng had often funded the family in his younger years.

But now he had given control of his private treasury to Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaoge, and Lin Zixiao, keeping it separate from family funds.

If the family needed large amounts of Spirit Stones, they could report to him or the three girls for approval.

“Thank you, Little He.”

Lu Changsheng finally accepted ten low-tier Spirit Stones from his daughter, pinched her smooth cheek, and asked her if she wanted anything.

“Dad, I already have everything.”

Lu Linghe wasn’t as wealthy as Lu Wangshu, but she was still somewhat prosperous.

Artifacts, puppets, talismans, Spirit Stones—she lacked for nothing.

“Alright, when you break through to Foundation Establishment, Dad will prepare a gift for you.”

Lu Changsheng gently stroked her little head, already planning to custom-craft a Spirit Tool for her.

The Wind-Fire Wheels and a few other Artifacts he had made before weren’t designed for combat.

“Thank you, Dad.”

Lu Linghe was easily content, nodding happily.

At this time, Lu Changsheng remembered that he had called his son Lu Ping’an back for something important.

He took a dark golden iron tower out from his Storage Ring and tossed it to him, saying: “Ping’an, I’ve prepared a medicinal bath for you, so don’t be in a rush to leave.”

“Ah.”

Lu Ping’an caught the incredibly heavy treasure and asked: “Dad, isn’t this a bit too much?”

He knew his medicinal baths had always been resource-intensive.

It had only been three and a half years since the last one, and now he was getting another—it was practically burning money.

“Just follow my arrangements.”

Lu Changsheng said directly.

His son was currently at the eighth level of the Hundred Refined Body Technique.

Only by breaking through to the ninth level could he endure the ‘Great Wilderness Dragon Spine’.

Although one or two medicinal baths alone might not be enough to break through to the ninth level,

he wasn’t short on resources now and was willing to spend them lavishly to cultivate a third-tier Body Tempering expert.

Moreover, he was curious. The system had awarded him a high-level draw when his son reached the second-tier Body Tempering.

Would breaking through to the third-tier Body Tempering trigger an even higher-level draw?

“Come here, Xiao Hei.”

Lu Changsheng then tossed a dark purple, fist-sized pill radiating a fearsome aura to the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

“Roar.”

The Nine Abyss Mastiff hesitated before trying to bite the Monster Core with some joy.

“Be careful.”

Lu Changsheng reminded.

Although demonic beasts could directly consume Monster Cores of a similar attribute to accelerate growth, break through tiers, or even purify their bloodlines.

But the Nine Abyss Mastiff was only at the second tier.

Consuming a complete third-tier Monster Core was still a risk.

“Roar.”

The Nine Abyss Mastiff let out a low growl and carefully absorbed the demonic power from the Monster Core.

“Ping’an, keep an eye on Xiao Hei.”

Lu Changsheng told Lu Ping’an.

Even though the beast was known as ‘Nine Abyss’ to others, he was used to calling it Xiao Hei, and was too lazy to change.

“Yes, Dad.”

Lu Ping’an nodded promptly.

Thankfully, there was no one else in the hall at this time; otherwise, seeing Lu Changsheng’s generosity would have left them speechless.
