Chapter 511: The Ancestor Marries Again, A Third-Generation Spirit Body!

“Father, you should be careful how Xiao Hei is growing.”

“If someone from Beast God Mountain notices Xiao Hei’s resemblance to the Youyue Sky Wolf that Saintess Youyue has, it could cause trouble.”

Lu Qingshan continued, reminding his father.

For a monstrous beast to advance and grow rapidly, the most common method is to feed it the blood essence and monster cores of other beasts.

Beasts with similar bloodline attributes work best, even purifying the bloodline.

The Nine Abyss Mastiff resembles the Youyue Sky Wolf of Saintess Youyue.

If it continues to grow and someone finds out, it could lead to problems.

“Mm, I’ve taken note of that.”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

Thanks to what happened with Lu Miao before, he has always been cautious in this regard.

For so many years, the Nine Abyss Mastiff was rarely taken out, mostly kept at home.

Even now, with its late second-stage power, it still pretends to be at the early second stage, comparable to mid-stage.

But with its growth, anyone with some experience would see its unusual bloodline.

Encountering someone like Saintess Youyue, who has a similar spirit pet, might really cause trouble.

“Sigh, raising a spirit pet isn’t easy.”

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

Before, when his son Lu Quanzhen was hunted in Jin Kingdom, aside from the Ghost Demon Realman, it also had to do with the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.

This Heaven-Tier bloodline spirit pet is just average among his companions at Bihu Mountain.

But outside, countless people would chase after it!

“Father, if you’re serious about this, wait until I break through Golden Core. I could then suppress this Saintess Youyue for you and make her a maid.”

Lu Qingshan, seeing his father not speaking, thought he was considering it and laughed.

“Get lost! You’re always up to nonsense.”

Lu Changsheng waved his sleeve, telling him to return to the mountainside.

A maid…

Lu Changsheng stroked his chin, then shook his head with a light laugh.

He wasn’t interested in someone like Saintess Youyue.

He was simply curious. Would the Beast God Mountain’s tradition of fusing with monstrous beasts turn people into half-demons?

Would their children be human or demon?

After seeing that things were temporarily settled at home and realizing he had been back for a while, Lu Changsheng thought of visiting Xiao Xiyue.

Moreover, in a few days, his daughter Lu Wangshu would be returning to Crane Ming Mountain.

Half a day later, Lu Changsheng arrived at Azure Cloud Sect.

Knowing that Yun Wanshang and Chu Qingyi were in the sect and that Yun Wanshang possibly knew about him and Chu Qingyi, Lu Changsheng didn’t enter directly.

Instead, he took out his Yin-Yang Communication Talisman to send a message to Xiao Xiyue.

“Greetings, Master Lu.”

“Master Lu, is there something you need us to report?”

The disciples stationed at the mountain gate recognized Lu Changsheng. Seeing him waiting outside, they approached, curious and polite.

“No need; I’ve already sent a message.”

Dressed in a green brocade robe, with a tall and elegant figure, and a jade-like handsome face, Lu Changsheng smiled.

As he spoke, he tossed several mid-Tier Spirit Stones to the patrolling disciples before him.

“Thank you, Master Lu.”

The disciples bowed gracefully.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Xiyue, dressed in a moon-white skirt, her long hair floating in the breeze like a fairy from the Moon Palace, arrived on her escape light.

Her beauty was breathtaking, akin to a moon that had descended from the Ninth Heaven. She carried a cold and noble aura without the slightest bit of makeup.

Her tall and graceful figure, wrapped in the skirt, seemed like hazy and ethereal moonlight, delicate yet icy and jade-like.

Both men and women would be awestruck by her beauty, moved by it.

“Changsheng.”

Normally, in public, Xiao Xiyue would control her emotions when meeting Lu Changsheng.

But since the concept of the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique had reversed Dao’s unfeeling nature, balancing with her feelings for Lu Changsheng, and it had been over a year since they last met, she exclaimed with joy, her eyes full of delight.

The disciples stationed at the gate of Azure Cloud Sect, upon seeing this usually cold, noble, and distant Xiyue Fairy now expressing deep affection towards Lu Changsheng, immediately widened their eyes in shock, as if seeing a ghost, and gasped.

What in the… what’s going on here?

The old rumors in the sect about Xiyue Fairy and the Lord of Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng, not just being ordinary companions, were actually true?

Their minds were filled with disbelief, like a raging storm.

However, the next moment, they focused their eyes downward, pretending they saw nothing.

In the past, Azure Cloud Sect had rumors about Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng.

But those rumors were soon silenced by Caiyun Zhenren, who ordered the Enforcement Disciples to punish those discussing it, sending them to the Enforcement Palace.

The few who led the spread likely were only just released, or who knows where they are mining now.

So, even if they suspected something, they dared not look or spread it, fearing trouble.

“Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng smiled, called out, glanced at those people, then flew away with Xiao Xiyue on the Spirit Boat.

“Gasp!”

“Could it be that Master Xiao and this Master Lu are…”

“How could Senior Sister Xiyue like Lu Changsheng?”

After Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue departed, those people exchanged glances, faces full of envy, jealousy, and mixed feelings of helplessness.

As a true disciple of Azure Cloud Sect, Xiao Xiyue was more than perfect in talent, looks, and temperament. Countless admired and saw her as a fairy, a goddess.

But now, the woman who was their goddess turned out to have a deep relationship with a cultivator under their sect’s jurisdiction.

Though Lu Changsheng was an exceptional person, with Bihu Mountain at its peak now.

Just thinking about how he was surrounded by wives and concubines made their hearts ache.

Especially knowing that Master Lu was fond of children and every wife, concubine, or partner had to bear him several children.

The thought of their goddess having to bear Lu Changsheng’s children filled them with a heart-wrenching feeling.

“Why, why would Master Xiyue like someone like him?”

“I never expected the rumors to be true.”

“Shh, lower your voice, don’t spread this around.”

A few whispered, then sighed deeply, agreeing not to let this spread further.

Otherwise, if the Enforcement Palace hears of it, there’ll be consequences.

“Changsheng, you’ve returned.”

On the Spirit Boat, the usually aloof Xiao Xiyue now looked like a girl deeply in love, her eyes filled with joy as she addressed Lu Changsheng.

Even though Lu Changsheng had been back for a while, and there were even rumors of him remarrying.

But she had been in seclusion in the sect during this time, deducing the technique, and wasn’t aware of the outside world.

“Yes, since things went smoothly, I returned early.”

Lu Changsheng held her slender, delicate hand and said gently.

Then he began speaking to her in a low voice, reconnecting emotionally and asking about the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.

Earlier, when he went to Jin Kingdom, he mentioned that Xiao Xiyue could visit Bihu Mountain to discuss the technique with Hong Lian.

But when he asked Hong Lian, Xiao Xiyue had never approached her.

But this was understandable; Xiao Xiyue had a proud and cold personality and only opened her heart to Lu Changsheng.

How could she visit Bihu Mountain alone to discuss techniques with Hong Lian?

A hundred miles away from the Qingyun Region, Lu Changsheng scanned around with his Divine Sense. Seeing no one around, he put away the Spirit Boat and took out the Starlight Disk, flying with Xiao Xiyue towards Bihu Mountain.

After returning to Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue discussed the Dao.

He explained concepts such as the interplay of Yin and Yang and their mutual dependence, the principle of complementing each other like light and shade, and how these concepts relate to the Supreme Path.

Xiao Xiyue listened attentively.

When hearing the profound mysteries, she couldn’t help but utter soft praises.

Their discussion grew ever deeper.

Gradually, within the cave abode, the symbols of the sun and moon rotated, intertwining, resonating with the music of Yin and Yang between body and soul.

Several days later, Lu Changsheng finished his lecture, imparting his profound understanding of Yin and Yang without reservation.

Then he took Xiao Xiyue’s delicate hand, walking out of Hall of Everlasting Life, to consult Hong Lian about the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.

“The Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique, with emotions yet emotionless, is akin to the duality of Yin and Yang.”

After listening to the basic concept of the technique, Hong Lian mused over Lu Changsheng’s Yin-Yang theory, feeling astonished.

The Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique was indeed profound.

It emphasizes that the Dao is emotionless, with emotions fading into the emotionless state, and once emotions are extinguished, one can give rise to powerful techniques, which is extremely terrifying.

Yet Lu Changsheng aimed to counterbalance this extreme emotional emptiness to form a balance.

That idea alone was bold.

But he actually succeeded, reversing the technique and taking the first step.

Even though she had once been a Nascent Soul True Lord, Hong Lian couldn’t help but feel shocked.

“What kind of technique is Master cultivating?”

Hong Lian was amazed.

After spending so much time together, she naturally realized that Lu Changsheng knew little about many aspects of the Immortal cultivation world.

However, when it came to cultivation techniques and various arts, his talent seemed otherworldly, as though the heavens destined him for them.

Putting aside everything else, the Yin-Yang theory he just explained was beyond her understanding.

“Master has already taken the first step, proving that the technique is not flawed. The only thing to do now is to maintain the balance of Yin and Yang.”

Hong Lian pondered a bit, then spoke.

The Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique was already profound and intricate, but under Lu Changsheng’s interference, it had now veered towards an unknown path.

Even though she was once a Nascent Soul True Lord, she couldn’t offer much more advice at the moment.

“Xiyue.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng suggested Xiao Xiyue reveal the full technique for more detailed analysis.

“Mm.”

Without hesitation, Xiao Xiyue openly recited the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.

Then, she described her thoughts over the past year.

After listening carefully, Hong Lian used the Profound Mirror of the Dao to examine the technique’s effects on Xiao Xiyue.

A long time passed.

“Master, theoretically speaking, as long as Fellow Daoist Xiao follows this concept, there should be no issues.”

“However, as the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique advances and breakthroughs into the Golden Core stage or Nascent Soul stage, it will affect Fellow Daoist Xiao. It would be best to prepare something to maintain balance.”

“Otherwise, not only during breakthroughs, but any unexpected situation, like soul attacks, could destabilize the sea of consciousness.”

Hong Lian, dressed in a red gown embroidered with gold and silver threads, her skin glowing faintly, said gracefully yet with unmatched elegance.

In her view, although Xiao Xiyue’s technique had deviated into a different direction, it was still based on the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.

Since she was currently only at the Foundation Establishment stage, there might not be any immediate problems.

But as she continues to cultivate and breaks through to Golden Core or Nascent Soul, it will inevitably have other impacts.

“Something to maintain balance?”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Hong Lian, what do you think of the Taiyi Dao Seed in Miaoge?”

He and Xiao Xiyue used concepts from the Taiyi Water Generation Technique to modify the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.

Given how the Supreme Kindness Water Technique in Lu Miaoge influenced by the TTiyi Dao Seed and the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra had already surpassed many formal techniques.

He immediately thought of simulating a ‘Yin-Yang Dao Seed’ to maintain the balance of Yin and Yang within Xiao Xiyue’s sea of consciousness.

“I cannot judge that without further analysis.”

Hong Lian softly responded.

Creating something new from an existing technique is incredibly difficult and requires extraordinary talent.

In major sects, every adjustment and modification in a technique usually goes through generations of effort.

“Mm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile, then settled down in Bihu Mountain with Xiao Xiyue.

They spent time discussing the Dao and further refining the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.

After half a month.

Bihu Mountain was lit with festive lanterns and decorations.

Today was Lu Changsheng’s wedding day with Meng Xiaochan.

The celebration was lively.

Even though Lu Changsheng hadn’t planned on hosting a grand event, the reputation of Bihu Mountain today meant countless people came to offer their congratulations.

“Sigh, after all these years, the old patriarch hasn’t forgotten his original intentions.”

“I wonder what the background of this Lady Lu is!”

“To become Lord Lu’s wife, she must be extraordinary.”

“Sigh, if things continue like this, the female cultivators around Bihu Mountain will all marry into the Lu Family.”

Almost every notable family and faction in the Qingyun Region sent representatives with gifts.

Even the Jin Family and Sima Family, who were at odds with Bihu Mountain, sent representatives, though without extravagant gifts.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, roars erupted from Biyun Peak.

Three pitch-black Flood Serpents, covered in fine, dark scales, about three meters long with a cylindrical thickness, emerged from the clouds and mist.

Behind them was a luxurious and exquisite red bridal sedan, exuding the terrifying aura of second-stage spiritual pressure.

“Gasp, these are second-stage monstrous beasts!”

“What? Bihu Mountain has three second-stage monstrous beasts!”

“What a grand gesture! Three second-stage monstrous beasts pulling a bridal sedan!”

“Bihu Mountain has only existed for just over forty years, so how could they raise three second-stage monstrous beasts!”

“These three beasts look similar, probably raised using some secret technique. Bihu Mountain must have a beast-taming heritage!”

All the cultivators present were shocked by this sight.

Even though they knew Bihu Mountain was not as simple as it appeared.

They never expected such depth in Bihu Mountain.

Three second-stage monstrous beasts are equivalent to three Foundation Establishment cultivators!

For most Foundation Establishment families, just one second-stage beast would be enough to secure the family for a century.

Yet Bihu Mountain has three of them.

“We’ve never heard of Bihu Mountain having this kind of capability before? Could it be part of this new wife’s dowry?”

One cultivator speculated quietly, doubting Bihu Mountain could raise three second-stage beasts in such a short time.

“But why do the auras of these three beasts seem similar, almost like… Dao Soldiers!”

“That’s impossible! Even with the wealth Bihu Mountain has from talismans, puppets, and alchemy, they couldn’t afford to raise Dao Soldiers!”

“Right, it’s more likely some sort of beast-taming technique, not Dao Soldiers!”

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators from old families noticed the shared aura of the three Black Water Flood Dragons, resembling Dao Soldiers, and were shocked, unwilling to believe it.

After all, Dao Soldiers are a benchmark for measuring a faction’s strength.

Most families don’t have the resources or heritage to raise them.

Among the three major Golden Core families in the Jiang Kingdom, only the Beast Taming Xu Family managed to raise two units of Dao Soldiers!

In the crowd, the Bai Family Ancestor Bai Yunyang, watching the three Black Water Flood Dragons, was in a daze.

His Hundred Bird Lake had accumulated so much over the years, only managing to raise a single second-stage spiritual bird three years ago.

Yet Bihu Mountain had quietly raised three second-stage monstrous beasts.

These foundations were simply astonishing.

“As long as I maintain good relations with Bihu Mountain, my Bai family will be secure for the next hundred years.”

Bai Yunyang sighed in gratitude.

He was thankful he hadn’t crossed Lu Changsheng in his early years and had instead extended goodwill.

Otherwise, how could his family be where it was today?

But seeing Lu Changsheng, dressed in a red wedding robe, walking down from the Black Water Flood Dragon’s head, he still felt it was somewhat unreal.

“Heh.”

In the crowd, Lu Chensha noticed the shock and astonishment in the other people’s expressions and chuckled.

Others might not know how many Black Water Flood Dragons his family had, but he was too familiar with them.

Currently, there were nine second-stage Black Water Flood Dragons and seventy-two late first-stage Black Water Dragon Fish and Dragon Snakes.

This was even after his father slowed down their cultivation.

Otherwise, with the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman, within twenty years, all seventy-two of those Black Water Dragon Fish and Dragon Snakes could advance to second-stage Black Water Flood Dragons.

“Chensha, tell me, how many Black Water Flood Dragons does the family have now?”

At this moment, Lu Wangshu appeared and quietly asked Lu Chensha.

“Sister Wangshu, Father has stated that this is a family secret.”

Lu Chensha whispered immediately.

“Not even to me?”

Lu Wangshu, in a powder white dress, had a beautiful and delicate appearance.

“Father specifically said not to let you know…,”

Lu Chensha mused inwardly.

But on the surface, he apologized, embarrassed, “Sister Wangshu, please don’t make it hard for me. If Father finds out, I’m done for.”

Under everyone’s watch, three Black Water Flood Dragons pulled the bridal sedan to Bihu Mountain Manor.

Dressed in a red wedding robe, Lu Changsheng descended from the head of the Black Water Flood Dragon.

He then lifted the sedan curtain, leading Meng Xiaochan, dressed in a phoenix coronet and bridal robes, out.

“Congratulations, Master Lu! Congratulations, Lady Lu!”

“Congratulations, Patriarch Lu!”

Countless cultivators immediately offered their congratulations, their voices rising and falling.

However, many Foundation Establishment cultivators were now paying close attention to Meng Xiaochan, eager to know her identity.

“Who is this woman? I’ve never seen her before.”

“Judging by her appearance, she must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but I can’t fathom her depth.”

“Sigh, why would someone with such looks and cultivation marry Lu Changsheng?”

“Damn, this Lu Changsheng already has so many wives and concubines, why is he still marrying more!”

The cultivators present were full of envy and resentment towards Lu Changsheng.

In the Immortal World, there were always more men than women.

And this disparity only became more pronounced as cultivation levels rose.

As a result, many Foundation Establishment patriarchs mostly married out of the Qi Refining stage, rarely getting to marry another Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After all, not every Foundation Establishment cultivator was like Lu Changsheng, at the height of his prime, attracting numerous female cultivators.

More often than not, Foundation Establishment patriarchs, having lost prospects in cultivation, would marry to build their families and extend bloodlines.

So seeing Lu Changsheng, who already had several Foundation Establishment wives, marrying yet another one made them green with envy.

“So this is Patriarch Lu; indeed, he is… as handsome as a god.”

“Sigh, just one look at him, and I’m doomed.”

“Alas, if only I were born forty years earlier, perhaps I might have caught Patriarch Lu’s eye.”

In the manor, many women gazed at Lu Changsheng’s handsome face, their expressions dimming.

Since the old patriarch had once taken female disciples from small families as maidservants, many families and factions brought their women to try their luck at this wedding.

Hoping to attract the attention of the old patriarch and be taken in as a maid.

But now, the old patriarch no longer looked at these female disciples.

Since both of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there was no elder to oversee the wedding, the ceremony was simplified.

Meng Xiaochan only had to serve tea to Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaouan, Ling Zixiao, and Qu Zhenzhen.

After completing the ceremony, Lu Changsheng introduced Meng Xiaochan to the guests.

Though now, Meng Xiaochan had taken the name ‘Meng Xiangzi’.

Both her name and her appearance had been slightly altered.

After all, she was once a Five Poison Sect true disciple.

And she had once accompanied Nangong Mili to the Immortal World of Jiang Kingdom, where she was wanted by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

If she used her real name and face, she might be recognized, causing trouble.

“Congratulations, Master Lu! Congratulations, Lady Lu.”

These cultivators offered their congratulations, though some subtly tried to find out about Meng Xiaochan’s origin.

But Lu Changsheng wouldn’t reveal anything, only smiling faintly.

Now, only Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaoge, and a fw others knew Meng Xiaochan’s real identity.

That night.

In the cave abode.

“Xiaochan, it takes ten years to cross a river together and a hundred years to share a pillow. Today we are married, and from now on, we shall walk this path of life together. Come, let’s drink this cup.”

Lu Changsheng handed Meng Xiaochan the conjunction wine.

“Lu Lang…”

Meng Xiaochan raised her delicate face, her beautiful eyes shimmering with deep affection as she looked at Lu Changsheng.

After drinking the conjunction wine, Meng Xiaochan blushed shyly and said, “Lu Lang, Xiaochan wants to bear your children.”

For Lu Changsheng, those words were the most sincere expression of love.

At this moment, no words were needed.

“Mmh~”

Meng Xiaochan’s cheeks flushed as her long eyelashes fluttered softly over her closed eyes. A soft moan escaped from her rosy lips.

A moment later, the sound of rustling clothes filled the air.

The red phoenix robe was undone, revealing her embroidered shoes and stockings. Ten delicate toes curled shyly, just as soft and red as Meng Xiaochan herself at that moment.

As Lu Changsheng’s wedding concluded, the guests at Bihu Mountain gradually departed.

Besides the guests, many Lu Family members also started leaving Bihu Mountain, each returning to their duties.

Lu Ping’an also led six Lu Family disciples to White Tiger Mountain, preparing to take them to the Black Cloud Mountain Range for training.

But when Lu Linghe saw that Lu Ping’an was bringing Lu Qingyan, Lu Chensha, and the others to White Tiger Mountain, she insisted on going too.

So Lu Changsheng immediately called Lu Wangshu, asking her to persuade her sister Lu Linghe.

Otherwise, when she found out later that they were going to the Purple Secrets Realm, it would be an even bigger headache.

“Little He, stay at home. Later, your sister will take you to Crane Ming Mountain.”

Lu Wangshu hugged Little He’s shoulders, talking about Crane Ming Mountain.

“Alright…”

Under Lu Wangshu’s coaxing, Lu Linghe finally nodded her little head and waved at her big brother.

Shortly after, Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu also prepared to leave.

“Alright, be careful on your way.”

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, then gave his advice.

If he hadn’t caused such a commotion at Yin Ghost Sect, he could have arranged the Golden-Winged Roc to send them back.

But sending them back too quickly with a hard-to-trace route could also lead to trouble, so Lu Changsheng did not send them off.

He only said he’d visit Golden Sun Sect to see them after a few years.

However, seeing her son Lu Qingxian and daughter Lu Qingqi looking reluctant, Lu Miaoge realized neither haa ever been to Qingyun Market Town. So, she decided to take them there on the way.

“Sister Miaoge, take care on your way.”

Lu Changsheng said, suggesting Lu Miaoge bring the Thousand–aced Fox Puppet along.

In the following days, Lu Changsheng spent most of his time with Meng Xiaochan, trying to fulfill her wish to conceive.

However, seeing that Meng Xiaochan was now in the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, Lu Changsheng considered waiting until she reached Golden Core before getting her pregnant, as dual cultivation with Yin-Yang Dual Qi could solidify her Dao Foundation.

Moreover, he had not only Condensing Crystal Pills, but the Five Elements Fruit Tree at home was also three years from maturity.

Under such circumstances, Meng Xiaochan had a seventy to eighty percent chance of reaching Golden Core!

If he passed on the Yin-Yang Origin Pill Method to Meng Xiaochan and let her refine the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus as a second dantian to condense full Yuan Dan, this probability would increase, potentially achieving High-Tier Golden Core.

But doing so would take a long time.

It’s estimated that it would take seven to eight years to reach Golden Core.

As Lu Changsheng was thinking, a mysterious and intense sensation suddenly surged through his body.

That was when a system notification sounded.

【Congratulations, Host, for the birth of a Spirit Body offspring. You’ve earned one draw opportunity.】
