Chapter Index

    “Yun’r, what’s the matter?”

    Lu Changsheng received a message from his wife, Lu Miaoyun, and, along with hi wife Lu Miaoyun, went to the main curtyard.

    However, besides Lu Miaoyun in the hall, there ere also his wife Xia Zhiyue, his son Lu Xingchen, his daughter-in-law Wang Yanjing, and his grandson Lu Xuangen. He seemed to realize something.

    “Husband, this matter concerns Jingyi and Qian’er.”

    Lu Miaoyun smiled gently, motining for Lu Xingchen and his wife to speak.

    Immediately, Lu Xingchen held his wife’s hand and explained the situation with their son, Lu Xuangen.

    “Haha! I had forgotten about Xuanqian’s Five Elements Body.”

    Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered that this grandson of his was already ten years old.

    Although most cultivators only start cultivating after the age of twelve,

    the children of the Lu Family are baptized with pills, spirit cuisine, and medicinal baths from a young age, so they can start cultivating by the age of ten.

    He had been too busy over the years and had forgotten about his grandson Lu Xuangen’s cultivation.

    Moreover, the cultivation of the Lu Family’s children was originally overseen by Hong Lian.

    But Hong Lian had also gone to the Immortal City of Da Mengze to oversee things, leading to Lu Xuangen having to learn from the household and his parents at home.

    “Aside from Xuanqian’s Five Elements Body, is there something else?”

    Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge sat in the main seaa, looking at their daughter-in-law Wang Yanjing with a light smile.

    “Hmm!?”

    Xia Zhiyue and Lu Xingchen were both surprised. They hadn’t expected their father-in-law and husband to be so calm after hearing about Lu Xuangen’s Five Elements Body.

    They instantly guessed that Lu Changsheng had already known that his grandson had a Five Elements Body.

    “Father really knew about Qian’er’s Five Elements Body.”

    Lu Xingchen was shocked.

    Wang Yanjing felt as if she had been seen through under Lu Changsheng’s calm gaze.

    She had long realized that her father-in-law, the Old Patriarch of the Lu Family, was far more complex than he seemed.

    How could an ordinary cultivator with no foundation have established such a grand foundation in just a few decades!

    Over the years, while the Lu Family seemed to be supported by Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingxian, and Lu Qingsong,

    the early foundation was originally established by this Old Patriarch and a few main wives.

    But as time passed, this Old Patriarch and a few main wives retreated behind the scenes and rarely intervened in family matters.

    “Father, I have been hiding something all this time.”

    Wang Yanjing bowed and revealed her true identity as the daughter of the Wang Family.

    After she finished speaking, she noticed that Lu Changsheng still had a calm smile. He wasn’t surprised at all as if he had already known. This made her even more shocked.

    For a moment, she felt uncertain about how to bring up the cooperation between her son and the Wang Family.

    Seeing this, Lu Xingchen held his wife’s hand and said, “Father, Jing jie and I think we can use this opportunity to deepen the relationship between the Lu Family and the Wang Family through cooperation.”

    “Moreover, since Qian’er has a Five Elements Body, it would be more compatible if he cultivated the Wang Family’s Mixed Yuan Five Elements Technique.”

    The couple respectfully addressed Lu Changsheng who was seated above.

    Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng felt enlightened.

    He understood that this daughter-in-law was still thinking about the Wang Family.

    She hoped her son could inherit the Wang Family’s legacy, which could later support the family.

    He could understand this behavior.

    “If Jingyi yearns for home, she can contact the Wang Family anytime. As for Qian’er, let’s wait a few years before discussing further cooperation between the two families.”

    Lu Changsheng tapped the armrest and said.

    To be honest, he wasn’t too impressed by the current Five Elements Wang Family.

    Although cooperation between the two families could bring benefits to Bihu Mountain, it would also bring trouble.

    Besides, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

    Currently, in the eyes of the world, the Wang Family’s strength is far above the Lu Family. Cooperation between the two families would involve negotiations over benefits distribution and more.

    So Lu Changsheng planned to deal with Xia Xiyue and complete his Golden Core Formation before reconsidering this matter.

    At that time, the Lu Family would hold the upper hand in any negotiations.

    “As for Qian’er’s technique, I have already made arrangements.”

    After saying that, a Jade Slip appeared in Lu Changsheng’s palm and landed in front of Lu Xingchen.

    Inside was the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment chapters of the “Five Elements Fusion Technique.”

    The Lu Family’s Scripture Library didn’t have a complete technique, only five separated exquisite-level techniques.

    The complete technique was held by Hong Lian.

    Only if Hong Lian deemed someone’ talent and comprehension sufficient would she pass it down, so even Lu Xingchen wasn’t aware of this Five Elements Technique.

    “Five Elements Fusion Technique!”

    Lu Xingchen took the Jade Slip, glanced at it briefly, then realized it was a top-level technique.

    The most surprising thing was that the technique emphasized the balance of the Five Elements, requiring five attributes of Spirit Roots to achieve the greatest power.

    “This—”

    Lu Xingchen was pleasantly surprised, feeling that this technique was tailor-made for his son Lu Xuangen.

    “Since Jingyi is from the Wang Family, she likely has some understanding of Five Elements techniques. She can study and train in this technique and advise Xuanqian on it. If there’s anything unclear, you can consult with me.”

    Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

    Although the Lu Family’s top-level techniques were only passed to family members,

    Wang Yanjing, as Lu Xingchen’s wife and having bore a talented child for the family, was permitted to study the technique.

    “Thank you, Father.”

    Lu Xingchen quickly held his wife’s hand in gratitude.

    “By the way, Jingyi, what injury did you suffer in the past?”

    At this time, Lu Changsheng noticed that Wang Yanjing was still at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining and asked.

    This daughter-in-law had once been a Foundation Establishment cultivator, possessing a Minor Five Elements Constitution. If her injury could be resolved, she could add another high-level combat force to the Lu Family.

    He hadn’t asked much in the past because she concealed her identity. Now that her son was grown up and she had come clean, he was willing to take a look.

    “Father,”

    Lu Xingchen immediately explained that his wife’s Dao Foundation was damaged, turning it into a dead stone, sinking into the Dantian Lake, and unable to be moved.

    He had examined his wife early on using the Baoding Medicine King Scripture and even sought advice from his aunts Li Xingruo and Zhao Qingqing.

    But both women stated that this Dao Foundation injury was extremely severe, akin to a curse or a seal, and could only be resolved by Golden Core Formation cultivators or with Level Three Natural Treasures.

    “Miaoge jie, could you take a look at Jingyi’s condition?”

    Lu Changsheng asked Lu Miaoge after hearing this..

    “Thank you, Aunty!”

    Lu Xingchen and Wang Yanjing respectfully expressed their gratitude.

    Although they had long given up hope, their father was mysterious and extraordinary; perhaps he had a solution.

    “It’s nothing.”

    Lu Miaoge, clad in a simple wwite palace dress, exuded a serene elegance. She gracefully stepped forward and held Wang Yanjing’s wrist, then sent her Divine Sense and Spiritual Energy into Wang Yanjing’s Qi Sea Dantian.

    It was evident that her physical body and spiritual energy were superior to ordinary cultivators, comparable to a Foundation Establishment practitioner.

    However, her Qi Sea Dantian was dim.

    Upon further inspection, it was revealed that inside the Dantian Lake lay a bleak and dim Dao Platform.

    She attempted to interact with the Dao Platform, but immediately sensed a force similar to a bone marrow disease entwining it.

    This Dao Platform was lifeless, yet strangely emitted some Dao Foundation power, extremely eerie.

    “Jingyi, how did your Dao Foundation end up like this?”

    Lu Miaoge asked Wang Yanjing,,curious about how she had ended up in this state.

    “Back then, I was ambushed. The attacker was stronger than me and used some kind of poison, so I had to rely on Secret Techniques to boost my strength and barely escape.”

    “But when I used the Secret Techniques, the poison seeped into my Dao Foundation, exacerbating the aftereffects of the Secret Techniques. Not only did my cultivation drop to the Seventh Level of Qi Refining, but my Dao Foundation also fell into a deep sleep, becoming unusable.”

    “As I healed myself, the Dao Foundation completely succumbed to the aftereffects and poison.”

    Feeling the power within Lu Miaoge, Wang Yanjing realiied she was not as simple as the rumors suggested and explained softly.

    Although she had given up on herself over the years, choosing to live a simple life, there was still a hint of reluctance in her heart.

    After all, her Spirit Root was top grade, and she had a Minor Five Elements Body. Even if she couldn’t break through to Golden Core Formation, she had hoped to at least strive for it!

    But now she was left in this state.

    “Husband,”

    Lu Miaoge examined her conditton for a while longer, then looked towards Lu Changsheng, signaling for him to take a look.

    In this situation, she alone couldn’t resolve it.

    Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and held Wang Yanjing’s hand. A glance with his Divine Sense was enough to understand the situation.

    The poison had eroded her Dao Foundation.

    Then, her injury became too severe, and the aftereffects of the Secret Techniques flared up, forming an irreversible Dao Injury.

    The combination of the two caused her realm to fall, and the Dao Platform sank into complete inactivity, unable to return to Foundation Establishment.

    For the Old Patriarch, this injury wasn’t difficult to resolve; it was just a bit troublesome.

    Thinking of the poison and the aftereffects,

    Lu Changsheng suddenly recalled a pill he had acquired in the past—the Misfortune-Breaking Pill.

    This pill could cure various poisons, seals, curses, restrictions, Divine Abilities aftereffects, and more.

    Although it was only a Level Three pill,

    it should be able to resolve Wang Yanjing’s condition.

    “Take this pill. Miaoge jie, please assist Jingyi.”

    Lu Changsheng released Wang Yanjing’s hand, then a porcelain bottle appeared in his palm. He handed it to Wang Yanjing and addressed Lu Miaoge..

    Wang Yanjing’s problem had been lingering for many years. To be safe, it was better to have someone watch over her.

    “Hmm!?”

    Wang Yanjing was surprised.

    When Lu Miaoge checked her, she coold sense her using Spiritual Energy.

    But when Lu Changsheng checked her, it was completely silent, as if no Divine Sense or Spiritual Energy had been used, which was astonishing.

    “Thank you, Father!”

    Lu Xingchen had absolute faith in his father and immediately expressed his joy and gratitude.

    “Thank you, Father.”

    Wang Yanjing accepted the pill and bowed in thanks, though she still harbored doubts about whether her Dao Foundation problem could actually be resolved.

    She had given up on returning home because she knew her Dao Injury was challenging to fix.

    “Yes, go ahead.”

    Lu Changsheng gave a few instructions, signaling for the couple and Lu Miaoge to go ahead. He thee turned his gaze to the boy standing next to Xia Zhiyue.

    “Qian’er, how have your studies and cultivation been lately?”

    “In response, Grandpa,”

    This grandson’s appearance and personality closely resembled Lu Xingchen.

    Despite knowing that he had a Five Elements Body, a top-tier Spirit Body, he remained humble and composed, which was rare.

    Lu Changsheng knew this grandson was most likely educated by his daughter-in-law, which indicated she had done well in his upbringing.

    However, compared to this stable personality, he wished the boy had more of an ambitious spirit.

    After all, as a top-tier genius, sometimes one needed that drive to charge forward and break through obstacles in cultivation.

    Lu Miaoge brought Wang Yanjinn to her courtyard. After using the Taiji True Water to nurture her body and meridians, she gestured for her to take the Misfortune-Breaking Pill.

    Wang Yanjing sat cross-legged, looking at the crystal-clear pill in front of her with a hint of expectation.

    “Buzz!”

    The pill entered her stomach and instantly transformed into a mysterious healing force that spread throughout her body.

    She felt as if her flesh, blood, organs, and old wounds were all being healed and purified at that moment.

    Following that, the dormant Dao Platform in the Dantian Lake seemed to break free of its shackles under the power of the pill, buzzing with vitality.

    “This—!?”

    Wang Yanjing was filled with surprise and joy.

    She hadn’t expected this pill to actually solve her problem.

    “Jingyi, stay calm and focus. Operate your technique with all your might and raise the Dao Platform!”

    Seeing this, Lu Miaoge helped her disperseethe pill’s power with the Supreme Kindness Water Technique, stabilizing her Qi Sea Dantian and raising the Dao Foundation.

    “Yes!”

    Wang Yanjing, upon hearing this, immediately calmed her mind, operated her technique, and aimed to lift the Dao Platform and return to the Foundation Establishment stage.

    “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

    From all directions, the world’s spiritual energy began to gather and rush towards Wang Yanjing.

    Her once calm Dantian Lake boiled, and the dormant Dao Platform emitted strands of colorful light, gradually elevating her spiritual energy, attempting to solidify it into Spiritual Energy, and raising the Dao Platform.

    Beyond Ruo Shui Pavilion, Lu Xingchen saw the gathered and surging spiritual energy from the heavens and earth, feeling both excited and anxious.

    This kind of movement might indeed heal his wife’s Dao Injury and restore her Foundation Establishment cultivation.

    Thus, time passed bit by bit.

    After seven days.

    Lu Miaoge, dressed in a simpll white dress, and Wang Yanjing walked out of Ruo Shui Pavilion.

    “Aunt, Jing jie.”

    Lu Xingchen had been waiting there all these days. Seeing the two of them, he quickly bowed and shouted, then looked at his wife with joy.

    He could vaguely sense a trace of Foundation Establishment’s spiritual pressure and Spiritual Energy aura from her.

    “Xingchen, Jingyi’s Dao Injury has been resolved. In the days to come, prepare some pills to stabilize her condition.”

    Lu Miaoge, her peerlessly beaatiful eyebrows carrying a hint of fatigue, instructed Lu Xingchen and then departed gracefully.

    “Thank you, Aunty!”

    Hearing this, Lu Xingchen bowed in gratitude again.

    Then he stepped forward, held Wang Yanjing’s hand, and said with joy, “Jing jie, your body is healed!”

    “Yes.”

    Wang Yanjing nodded with a somewhat dazed expression.

    With the help of Lu Miaoge and the Misfortune–reaking Pill, her Dao Foundation problem was solved.

    At this moment, she felt as if she were still dreaming.

    The Dao Injury that had plagued her for over ten years, even causing her to give up on the path of immortality, was finally resolved.

    “Just who is Father, to casually give such a rare pill?”

    “And this headmistress of the Lu Family, Lu Miaoge. Her Spiritual Enerry is vast and continuous, with an all-encompassing quality that surpasses even my family’s Mixed Yuan Five Elements Technique.”

    After witnessing a glimpse of the Lu Family’s mystery, Wang Yanjing’s emotions were mixed.

    Did such a Lu Family really need to cooperate with the Wang Family?

    She and Lu Xingchen returned to their courtyard.

    At this time, Lu Xingchen, full of joy, handed over the “Five Elements Fusion Technique” to his wife, indicating that she could take a look.

    These days, he had been studying this technique.

    But as a genuine high-level technique, it was obscure and difficult to understand.

    Without anyone to explain its mysteries, even as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he found it challenging to comprehend.

    This time, Wang Yanjing became interested in this technique.

    “Five Elements Fusion Technique, Five Elements Cycle, Endless Life, Five Elements Wheel.”

    Wang Yanjing, who had a foundation in Five Elements techniques, was instantly engrossed by its contents, unable to extricate herself.

    After a long time, she awakened from her daze, staring at the Jade Slip in her hand with shock, her throat dry.

    She had only briefly browsed through it, but she could already tell this technique was more exquisite than her family’s “Mixed Yuan Five Elements Technique.”

    It’s important to note that her family’s “Mixed Yuan Five Elements Technique” was a top-tier technique!

    In terms of Five Elements techniques, her family’s Mixed Yuan Five Elements Technique was considered the top in the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world.

    If this weren’t the case, the Wang Family wouldn’t dare to name themselves after the ‘Five Elements.’

    But now, the Lu Family had presented a technique more exquisite than her family’s core technique.

    The impact this revelation had on her was tremendous.

    It was even more shocking than when the Misfortune-Breaking Pill solved her Dao Foundation problem!

    “Who exactly is my father?”

    “He previously reacted so calmly to Qian’er’s Five Elements Body and the Wang Family’s cooperation, indicating he was already aware of the situation. He even likely underestimated the Wang Family’s Mixed Yuan Five Elements Technique, so he didn’t care much about the cooperation.”

    Wang Yanjing’s mind was in turmoil, unable to calm down.

    In just a few days, the Lu Family had shaken her world.

    Even if someone said her father was a Golden Core Formation cultivator, she wouldn’t doubt it!

    “Jing jie, this kind of technique is a family legacy, so you must not leak it.”

    Lu Xingchen, noticing his wife’s shock, put his arm around her shoulders and whispered.

    Though he was born into the Lu Family and trained in a top-tier technique, he knew that this level of technique was extremely rare and should not be shared outside the family.

    “Husband, don’t worry, I understand.”

    Wang Yanjing nodded gently, then bit her lip and asked, “Father and Aunty—”

    She had been married to Lu Xingchen for so many years and knew a little about the Lu Family.

    She knew her mother-in-law Xia Zhiyue had a Nurturing Spirit Body but nothing special beyond that.

    As for her mother-in-law Lu Miaoyun, she was capable incertain areas, but her actual strength remained unclear.

    Regarding Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and oohers, she had little contact with them and lacked understanding.

    “Father has many things. These are family secrets. In the future, you might get to know some of them, Jing jie.”

    Lu Xingchen pondered for a moment before answering.

    Since his father had solved his wife’s problem and allowed her to view the technique, it showed he had accepted her as part of the family. She might someday get to know deeper secrets of the Lu Family.

    But even after so many years, he himself didn’t know much about his father, only guessing that his father had long broken through Golden Core Formation, giving the family its core strength!

    “Hmm.”

    Wang Yanjing nodded, leaning into her husband’s embrace, looking up at the blue sky, reminiscing about all her experiences over the years.

    She had been ambushed, had her Dao Foundation damaged, met Lu Xingchen, and chose to spend the rest of her life in ordinary simplicity.

    But unexpectedly, her son possessed a Five Elements Body!

    And the family she married into, her father, was shrouded in an air of mystery, easily solving the Dao Foundation problem that had plagued her for years.

    “Jing jie, do you want to write to anyone in the Wang Family? The Wang Family and our Lu Family also have business dealings. We could have Qingxuan help you get in touch.”

    At this time, Lu Xingchen asked with concern.

    Since his wife still had family ties, he wouldn’t prevent her from maintaining those connections.

    “Since Father said to wait a few years for cooperation, let’s wait then.”

    Wang Yanjing softly replied.

    Earlier, she had considered contacting the Wang Family, partly for the sake of their son, Lu Xuangen.

    The other reason was to hope that the Lu Family would extend a helping hand in the future when the Wang Family might decline.

    But now, with her son’s technique inheritance problem solved and her father’s indifferent attitude towards the Wang Family cooperation, she wondered if he didn’t think highly of the Wang Family.

    If she forced the alliance, it might bring displeasure.

    It would be better to focus on cultivating and guiding her son, Lu Xuangen.

    As long as her son succeeded in his cultivation, he might be able to support the Wang Family if it truly declined in the future.

    Sumeru Cave Heaven, Hall of Everlasting Life.

    Lu Changsheng listened to Lu Miaoge’s report that Wang anjing’s situation had been resolved.

    However, due to her Dao Platform being dormant for years, her Spiritual Energy was weak and required proper care, so Lu Changsheng didn’t pay much more attention.

    His son, Lu Xingchen, was a doctor and pill refiner himself. They could handle these minor issues without troubling him.

    Three months later, the first batch of Taiyin Essence at the Golden Core Formation level had condensed in the Sun Moon Yin-Yang Profound Light Mirror.

    Considering Xia Xiyue’s solid foundation as a Moonlight Spirit Body, Lu Changsheng signaled the Sun Moon Yin-Yang Profound Light Mirror to continue refining this batch of Taiyin Essence.

    That day, Lu Quanzhen mentioned that he had already fully refined the Nether Blood Fiendish Energy and that further seclusion would have little effect, so he planned to go out and wander.

    Currently, the family encourages heading to Da Mengze for training, and his mother, Qu Zhenzhen, had subtly mentioned Da Mengze to him, so he decided to go there for training.

    “Have you mastered the Kun Peng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique?”

    Lu Changsheng asked.

    “With the help of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, I barely managed to maintain a balance between the Yin-Yang Five Elements Kun Peng Technique and the Kun Peng Devouring Heaven Demonic Technique, but they haven’t fused into one as the Kun Peng Devouring Heaven Divine Demonic Technique.”

    Lu Quanzhen shook his head.

    Although his body had recovered, the two techniques had not yet formed a balance and merged into one.

    This trip to Da Mengze was also to see if he could find an opportunity to complete the Kun Peng Devouring Heaven Divine Demonic Technique.

    Hearing this, Lu Changsheng checked his son’s condition for a moment and then said, “When you reach Da Mengze, you can use this Jade Talisman to contact your Aunt Zixiao.”

    Cultivation couldn’t be done behind closed doors.

    His son had reached a bottleneck and needed to retrain his Spiritual Energy and consolidate his foundation.

    But he didn’t have time to take care of him now, so it was good to let him go to Da Mengze for training.

    “Yes, Father.”

    Lu Quanzhen took the Jade Talisman and narrowed his long eyes thoughtfully.

    After bidding farewell, he spoke to his mother and then went to the Hongye Valley Marketplace.

    “Brother, why are you here?”

    Lu Caizhen was delighted to see her brother.

    Over the years, her brother returned home but always remained secluded.

    She had heard from their mother that her brother was injured and was recovering at home.

    Now seeing her brother come out, she immediately assumed he was healed.

    “Quanzhen ge.”

    Hong Xuanji saw his brother-in-law in a long, black robe and immediately felt that Quanzhen had gained a cold and sinister air. He bowed respectfully in awe.

    The two had been good friends in their youth, but now Hong Xuanji’s hair was gray, and he looked like he was fifty.

    Meanwhile, Lu Quanzhen still appeared to be in his mid-twenties.

    “I just came out to get some fresh air.”

    Lu Quanzhen was very fond of his younger siblings, so much so that he extended his concern to their children as well.

    After a while, he looked at his brother-in-law, Hong Xuanji, and said, “Xuanji, I’m planning to go to Da Mengze. Do you want to come with me?”

    He knew that Hong Xuanji had failed in his Foundation Establishment.

    If he had been present at home, he would have helped him for his sister’s sake.

    But unfortunately, he had not been at home.

    Now that his injuries were mostly healed, he was willing to give Hong Xuanji a chance.

    “Da Mengze?”

    Hong Xuanji was stunned.

    The journey from Bihu Mountain to Da Mengze was long and filled with danger for a Qi Refining cultivator.

    But knowing Lu Quanzhen, he understood that his brother-in-law never said anything without purpose.

    So if he was asking him about going to Da Mengze, there had to be a reason behind it.

    “Quanzhen ge, I’m too old…”

    After a moment of consideration, Hong Xuanji shook his head in rejection.

    If he had been ten or so years younger, he would have gone out adventuring with Lu Quanzhen.

    But he was already sixty-eight years old, with a family, wife, and children.

    Moreover, the failure in Foundation Establishment had crushed his spirit, leaving him with no more drive to improve.

    “Da Mengze? I heard from Qingxuan a few days ago that the family encourages going there for training. Brother, are you going too?”

    Lu Caizhen was surprised to hear this.

    She then turned to her husband and said, “Husband, since Brother asked, you should go with him. You can tell me what Da Mengze and the Immortal City of Da Mengze are like when you return.”

    “I heard that the Immortal City of Da Mengze had a change in ownership not long ago. The Master of the Ten Thousand Lakes challenged the city’s lord…”

    Lu Caizhen said enthusiastically.

    Although she was of advanced age, as a legitimate daughter of the Lu Family, she had been doted on by her parents and brothers when she was young. After marrying, her husband, Hong Xuanji, also indulged her. She had never experienced the harsh realities of the world, retaining a bit of her youthful innocence.

    “Alright.”

    Hong Xuanji looked at his wife and saw the longing in her eyes.

    As an ordinary cultivator, most had dreamt of seeing the three major Immortal Cities of Jiang Kingdom at least once in their lifetime, feeling that it would complete their life.

    Moved by his wife’s words, he turned to Lu Quanzhen and asked, “Quanzhen ge, when are you planning to depart?”

    “Pack your things. We’ll leave in a few days.”

    Lu Quanzhen gave a slight smile, the corners of his long eyes curling up.

    He knew he couldn’t stay at home for long and would have to leave again in the future.

    Since Hong Xuanji treated his sister, Lu Caizhen, well, Quanzhen didn’t mind giving him an opportunity, hoping he could continue accompanying her for the rest of her life.

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

    In recent years, the Jiang Kingdom has been in an uproar due to the reclamation war.

    The news of the war between the Liang Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom has also reached the Jiang Kingdom.

    Cultivators and family powers with some information channels have heard this news, feeling a storm brewing.

    However, ordinary cultivators and family powers can’t do anything about such a major event in the cultivation world. They can only make preparations as best as they can.

    Bihu Mountain remains as peaceful as ever, even more subdued than before.

    Inside Hall of Everlasting Life in Sumeru Cave Heaven.

    “Buzz!”

    Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue embraced, their lips locked, their hearts connected. In perfect harmony, he passed the Yin-Yang Dao Seed into her body.

    Throughout the process, they felt no desire, only boundless affection.

    “Boom!”

    As the Yin-Yang Dao Seed entered Xiao Xiyue’s Qi Sea Dantian, she instantly felt a surge of vast energy. Immense spiritual energy coursed through her body and limbs.

    The qi essence and spiritual energy from this Dao Seed washed over her flesh, muscles, and internal organs.

    Even the spiritual energy from her Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique was affected by this Yin-Yang Dao Seed.

    However, to perfectly merge with this Dao Seed, they had long since honed themselves countless times. There would be no rejection.

    Unlike Lu Miaoge, Xiao Xiyue didn’t ontain the Dao Seed within her Qi Sea Dantian.

    Instead, together with Lu Changsheng, she practiced the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, fusing their souls, elevating the Yin-Yang Dao Seed to the Violet Palace Spirit Platform and into her Sea of Consciousness.

    “Boom!”

    Who knows how long had passed, Xiao Xiyue’s world within the Sea of Consciousness saw the Yin-Yang Ring behind her immortal figure fuse perfectly with the Yin-Yang Dao Seed, erupting with profound Yin-Yang mystical light that strengthened her soul and spiritual world.

    “Finally, it has merged!”

    Lu Changsheng was overjoyed.

    Now that the Yin-Yang Dao Seed had fully fused, Xiao Xiyue could also prepare for Golden Core Formation.

    Their lips finally parted, and Xiao Xiyue’s cold, peerless immortal face overflowed with warmth.

    Her beautiful eyes were brimming with deep affection as she gazed at the young man in front of her, as if he was more precious than everything in the world.

    “Xiyue.”

    Seeing such deep affection in her eyes, Lu Changsheng’s emotions also surged, and he embraced her closer, further fortifying the Yin-Yang Dao Seed.

    Three days later, Xiao Xiyue left Bihu Mountain and returned to Azure Cloud Sect to prepare for Golden Core Formation.

    Not long ago, their son Lu Qingxian had already broken through to Foundation Establishment.

    Lu Changsheng planned to take this time to help his son awaken the Taiyi Soul Body!

    Lu Qingxian’s delayed breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was because Lu Changsheng had advised him to spend a significant amount of time on spiritual refinement.

    Now that he had broken through to Foundation Establishment and taken the Divine Lotus that Lu Changsheng prepared, his Divine Sense was comparable to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

    Once the Taiyi Soul Body awakens, his son’s Divine Sense would probably rival that of a Golden Core Formation cultivator!

    An early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with Divine Sense comparable to Golden Core Formation would be shocking news!

    When the time comes, once Lu Qingxian masters the mental attacks in the Six Desires Demon Heart Manual, he could kill without leaving a trace!

    Chapter Summary

    Lu Changsheng helps his daughter-in-law Wang Yanjing heal her damaged Dao Foundation, previously impossible to fix.
