Chapter 925: Boundary Wall, Love at First Sight, Extracting Poison!

“Fellow Daoist Wang, whatever requests or concerns you have, just name them!”

The Green Dragon King said directly upon hearing that Lu Changsheng could detoxify the poison.

He had encountered the deadly poison in his master’s body before and knew how tricky it was.

If they could resolve the poison, dealing with the rampaging power in her body would be much easier.

“The poison is entwined with her spirit-soul. To suppress and purify it, she must open her spirit-soul completely.”

“During this process, any disturbance in her spirit-soul consciousness could cause the power in your sister’s body to spiral further out of control.”

Lu Changsheng laid out the issue.

If he broke through to mid-Nascent Soul or even late-stage, he could use the Yin-Yang balancing properties of the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra to suppress the rampaging forces within her.

But right now, he couldn’t manage it.

“Open her spirit-soul!?”

The Green Dragon King’s cold, ruthless vertical pupils flashed with an indescribable ferocity as he scrutinized Lu Changsheng.

Allowing Lu Changsheng to examine his master’s body was already a necessity, born of desperation for treatment.

But opening her spirit-soul? That was something he could never agree to.

The spirit-soul was vitally important to both cultivators and demons alike.

Lu Changsheng had already displayed methods far beyond an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Especially with those two fourth-rank spirit pets, servants like the Turtle Immortal Patriarch and Qian Zhuyan, plus fourth-rank puppets—it made him suspect Lu Changsheng possessed some kind of enslavement or restriction technique.

What if, once his master opened her spirit-soul, this man implanted a soul seal or slave mark?

Under normal circumstances, his master would have nothing to fear.

But in her current state, it was absolutely out of the question.

Lu Changsheng met the Green Dragon King’s gaze with calm composure.

He knew suggesting this solution would spark suspicion and wariness.

But he, Lu Changsheng, always acted with a clear conscience.

The Green Dragon King held his stare for a moment.

Seeing no trace of fear or timidity in the man’s eyes, he spoke in a firm, icy tone: “Then please, Fellow Daoist Wang, first help purify and suppress the poison in my little sister’s body.”

Opening the spirit-soul was too significant; he couldn’t agree right away.

He needed to observe Lu Changsheng’s methods further, then consult with his master.

“Alright.” Lu Changsheng nodded and grasped the woman’s wrist, covered in blue-purple dragon scales.

He circulated his cultivation technique, simulating the Yin-Yang Creation Sutra as the Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex, and began purifying the deadly poison in her body.

The woman’s poison proved even more tenacious and entangled than Lu Changsheng had anticipated.

Even with the Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex, it drained his magical energy heavily.

Yet during the process, Lu Changsheng gained something too.

His Chaos Body had fused with the Calamity Poison Body, granting him the ability to brew top-tier deadly poisons within himself as a weapon.

Years ago, through Ah Youduo, he had condensed a fourth-rank poison in his body.

It had caught True Lord Loushan and True Lord Tiancang off guard in battle.

Now, as the woman’s poison spread and invaded him, he suppressed and refined it, aiming to condense a high-grade fourth-rank poison!

This would give him an extra trump card when facing mid or late-Nascent Soul cultivators!

After a quarter-hour, Lu Changsheng’s expression tightened, sensing something amiss.

The poison in her body wasn’t just spreading toward him invasively.

It was incredibly resilient, seemingly devouring her blood energy and demon power endlessly.

He activated a secret technique from the Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex to probe the poison’s source deeper.

Tracing the surging toxins through her body, Lu Changsheng spotted a misty, phantom-like mass of purple-black poisonous gas deep in her demon veins.

This mass writhed with life, greedily absorbing her demon power and vitality while releasing deadly poison outward.

“This is… a poison spirit!?”

Lu Changsheng recognized it instantly.

A poison spirit was akin to heavenly spirit flames or heavenly thunder seeds.

It formed when an extremely terrifying poison, by chance, gained consciousness and became a poison spirit!

Cultivating the Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex to enhance poison potency or learn certain divine abilities required refining and controlling such poison spirits.

Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected the poison in her body to be so horrific as to form a poison spirit.

In an instant, his face grew grave; this was far more troublesome.

Before, he could simply use his Chaos Body and the Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex to purify and clear the poison.

But with a poison spirit formed, not only did it increase the difficulty of purification and removal.

The process might enrage the spirit, causing a toxic eruption.

An outburst of this level of poison—Lu Changsheng could withstand it, but the woman before him might not.

Moreover, the poison spirit was feeding on her demon power as nourishment, along with the scorching, tyrannical uncontrolled power in her body.

If the poison spirit erupted, that uncontrolled power would rampage even further.

Lu Changsheng immediately withdrew his hand, his expression solemn. “Green Dragon King, your sister’s condition is worse than I imagined.”

“The poison inside her has actually formed a poison spirit. Trying to dissolve it bit by bit won’t work—we must extract the poison spirit entirely!”

“But this poison spirit is incredibly terrifying. Extracting it is extremely dangerous. Plus, it’s constantly drawing on your sister’s demon power and the uncontrolled forces. Removing it could trigger a new rampage.”

Lu Changsheng spoke gravely, amazed that the woman was still alive and stable—it was nothing short of a miracle.

It spoke to the demons’ resilient bodies and tenacious vitality, far surpassing human cultivators.

Her bloodline and condition were extraordinary too.

Otherwise, a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator in her place would have perished long ago.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, do you have any solutions?”

The Green Dragon King’s scale-covered face twisted fiercely, his tone sinking darker.

“As for solutions…”

Lu Changsheng had two ideas: one involved dual cultivation secret arts, sacrificing his own life essence to sustain her vitality and stabilize her, then forcibly extracting the poison spirit.

The other was to wait until he broke through to mid-Nascent Soul and try again.

But given the circumstances, neither seemed feasible right now.

“Master, may this old servant take a look?”

At that moment, the hunched Turtle Immortal Patriarch spoke to Lu Changsheng.

“Alright, but be careful.”

Lu Changsheng warned him that the woman not only radiated a tyrannical power but also unleashed a high-grade fourth-rank poison upon the slightest touch.

“Rest assured, Master.” The Turtle Immortal Patriarch had great confidence in his defenses and stepped forward to examine her.

“Indeed, an Azure Dragon descendant.”

The Turtle Immortal Patriarch immediately discerned that the woman was a bloodline descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan.

Her bloodline was pure, no weaker than his own—likely a direct pure-blood line!

In the cultivation world, the stronger the being, the harder it was to pass on bloodlines and produce offspring.

For the Azure Dragon Clan, if not limited by heavenly rules and numbers, the entire Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm would bow under their might.

Thus, bloodline purity could reveal one’s status in the Azure Dragon Clan—direct line or mixed-blood dragon kin.

“If she’s a pure-blood direct descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan, befriending her could greatly aid our return to the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm.”

The Turtle Immortal Patriarch had always yearned to return to the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm and investigate Yuhai Mountain’s destruction.

He wanted to know if Yuhai Mountain still stood, if his father lived.

Lu Changsheng had promised before to take him there someday and uncover the past.

The Turtle Immortal Patriarch didn’t examine further. He withdrew his hand, circulating his profound nether demon power to suppress the invading poison.

This poison was indeed extraordinary.

If too much accumulated, it would be very troublesome.

But a small amount posed no threat to him.

“A mid-fourth-rank demon king!?”

As the Turtle Immortal Patriarch examined his master and circulated his demon power, the Green Dragon King instantly recognized his true nature.

Not a cultivator, but a fourth-rank demon king whose strength matched his own as a shapeshifting demon king!

Waves of shock crashed through the Green Dragon King’s mind. He stared at Lu Changsheng in astonishment and suspicion, wondering about his origins.

Owning an Abyssal Sea Dragon Whale and that fourth-rank monkey he’d seen before was one thing.

But to have the Turtle Immortal Patriarch as a mid-fourth-rank demon king servant!

In that moment, the Green Dragon King’s wariness toward Lu Changsheng and the Turtle Immortal Patriarch surged.

If they showed any ill intent, he would activate the formation restrictions and strike.

“Master, this old servant can temporarily suppress and isolate the poison spirit from this young lady’s rampaging power. If you’re confident, you can extract the poison spirit during that window.”

The Turtle Immortal Patriarch spoke respectfully to Lu Changsheng, not hiding it from the nearby Green Dragon King.

Saving her would not only earn goodwill and a favor.

It was also a way to contribute to Lu Changsheng and demonstrate his value.

“This king’s divine ability can also suppress and isolate my little sister’s rampaging power. But Fellow Daoist Wang, how confident are you in extracting the poison spirit?”

The Green Dragon King’s face darkened as he asked Lu Changsheng.

This master-servant pair was extraordinary—likely the only hope for saving his master. He didn’t want to miss it.

Lu Changsheng gazed at the woman, pondering for a moment. “If I don’t have to worry about the poison spirit erupting or the rampaging power, I have seventy percent confidence in fully extracting it.”

“Seventy percent…”

The Green Dragon King mulled it over, then said, “Fellow Daoist Wang, rest here for now. Let me consider this.”

“Alright.” Lu Changsheng noted his hesitation and nodded lightly.

With that, the Green Dragon King used a divine ability to encase the woman on the jade bed in ice, then escorted Lu Changsheng and the others out to rest.

Having witnessed Lu Changsheng’s skills and the Turtle Immortal Patriarch’s strength, the Green Dragon King’s attitude softened considerably from before.

Though his ferocious appearance made it hard to tell.

After seeing them to their rest, the Green Dragon King returned to the palace’s depths.

Gazing at the woman he had iced over, lying on the deep blue sea marrow jade bed, he produced a token and called, “Master.”

Moments later, the ice around her body melted. Her closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a cold gleam like abyssal black ice.

She sat up sideways, her long, beautiful legs clad in deep blue and moon-white dragon scales crossing elegantly. Her presence was commanding, like a lofty queen.

She looked at the Green Dragon King. “Qing Zhi, you woke me. Is there news from the Eastern Sea?”

Due to the rampaging power and poison within, her condition was dire. She spent most days in deep slumber, awaiting rescue from the Azure Dragon Clan.

But the heavenly environments of the Southern Desolation and Eastern Sea Cultivation Realms differed vastly.

Even with the Starry Sea and Forbidden Sea between them, the distance was immense, disrupted by boundary wall forces that hindered messages.

So she had ordered the Green Dragon King to await Eastern Sea news while seeking solutions or natural treasures for her condition.

“Master.”

The Green Dragon King, so imposing and proud before Lu Changsheng, now showed deep respect, addressing her as master. He recounted the situation with Dreamless and his wife, Lu Changsheng, and the Turtle Immortal Patriarch.

“Oh?”

Ao Long’s eyes, fringed with fine blue-gold scales like star dust, shimmered like melting gold in black ice as her gaze shifted.

“If this man has seventy percent confidence, then summon him.” Ao Long commanded regally.

She had slumbered long without rescue from the Eastern Sea, suggesting her pleas had been blocked by the boundary wall.

Waiting passively wasn’t viable; she needed to alleviate her condition and return to the Eastern Sea主动.

“Yes, Master.” The Green Dragon King replied respectfully.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng was discussing the Green Dragon King and Ao Long with the Turtle Immortal Patriarch.

“Azure Dragon Clan, pure-blood direct line.”

From the Turtle Immortal Patriarch, Lu Changsheng learned that Azure Dragons were pure-blood true spirits.

Azure Dragon descendants were mostly mixed-blood with average bloodline quality, save for a rare few pure-blood direct lines with potential to ascend to pure-blood.

“If she’s a pure-blood direct descendant of the Azure Dragon Clan, why hasn’t the clan come to rescue her?” Lu Changsheng asked.

Such a pure-blood direct line was like a clan’s core heir or a sect’s true saintess.

Any danger outside would prompt the faction to spare no expense for rescue.

“Master, though the Forbidden Sea lies between the Southern Desolation and Eastern Sea, they are still millions of miles apart. Moreover, the Southern Desolation and Eastern Sea are different realms with vastly different heavenly environments, separated by an invisible barrier called the boundary wall. Crossing to another realm isn’t easy.”

“The boundary wall interferes with heavenly secret divinations and message transmissions.”

The Turtle Immortal Patriarch explained to Lu Changsheng.

After their time together, he grew more puzzled by Lu Changsheng’s origins.

Clearly a reincarnated great power, yet ignorant of so many basic facts.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

He understood that the Green Dragon King and the woman couldn’t return to the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm.

It made sense; the woman was half-asleep from the poison and rampaging power.

The Green Dragon King was formidable, a top mid-fourth-rank demon king.

But crossing the Forbidden Sea entirely was still perilous.

Especially while carrying a powerless woman with Azure Dragon bloodline.

To demon kings along the way, such a bloodline was an irresistible prize.

The Turtle Immortal Patriarch watched Lu Changsheng’s reactions closely.

Seeing no greed or scheming upon learning she was a pure-blood Azure Dragon descendant, he dropped his follow-up words.

Otherwise, teaming up with Lu Changsheng, they could likely repel or even kill the Green Dragon King and seize the Azure Dragon woman.

Such an Azure Dragon descendant—her cultivation techniques, inheritance, bloodline, and body materials—were all immensely valuable.

“Fellow Daoist Wang.”

Then the Green Dragon King arrived, informing Lu Changsheng he had decided to proceed with extracting the poison spirit.

“???” Lu Changsheng was speechless, thinking demons like the Green Dragon King truly lacked social graces.

He had just escorted them to rest, only to call them back immediately.

Couldn’t he at least wait a few days?

But Lu Changsheng guessed he had consulted with the Azure Dragon woman about agreeing to their help.

“Alright.” Lu Changsheng didn’t refuse, eager to resolve the “Green Dragon King’s sister” matter, repay the favor, and head back.

As for the Peach Blossom Gu hoping he’d form a bond with the Azure Dragon woman, well, fate couldn’t be forced.

He had a pile of matters to handle; where would he find time to bond with an Azure Dragon descendant?

After all, forming a bond wasn’t something that happened just because he wanted it.

Otherwise, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t mind having a child with Azure Dragon bloodline.

When Lu Changsheng and the Turtle Immortal Patriarch followed the Green Dragon King back to the palace depths, Ao Long—whom the Green Dragon King had awakened—was asleep again, lying quietly on the deep blue sea marrow jade bed.

Her exquisite face, cold as moonlight frost, showed signs of illness and fatigue.

Her body emanated a scorching, tyrannical aura and faint traces of terrifying poison.

Seeing Lu Changsheng arrive with the Green Dragon King—tall and straight in his green robes, strikingly handsome—Ao Long, in her slumber, suddenly felt her heart stir.

This human cultivator was truly attractive, more so than any human or demon she had seen.

A thought sprouted in her mind—marry him as her husband!

Lu Changsheng was unaware of Ao Long’s thoughts.

He only vaguely sensed that the Azure Dragon woman wasn’t in as deep a sleep as before.

“Let’s begin.”

Lu Changsheng looked to the Turtle Immortal Patriarch and Green Dragon King, signaling them to act first and suppress the rampaging power and poison spirit in the Azure Dragon woman.

The Turtle Immortal Patriarch unleashed his innate divine ability. His hunched form straightened tall and imposing, like a dragon turtle spanning heaven and earth, his palm radiating vast profound nether power.

“This power!?”

Earlier, the Turtle Immortal Patriarch had easily discerned Ao Long’s bloodline.

As an Azure Dragon descendant, Ao Long instantly sensed the Turtle Immortal Patriarch’s extraordinary bloodline—pure-blood like her own.

Shock rippled through her. She hadn’t expected a pure-blood descendant here, serving as a human’s servant!

In the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm, humans served pure-blood descendants, never the reverse.

No pure-blood descendant had ever been tamed by a human cultivator!

Worthy of the man I’ve chosen!

Ao Long resolved in her heart.

If Lu Changsheng resolved her condition, she’d take him back to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace and marry him!

The Green Dragon King also unleashed his divine ability. Surging green demon energy and sealing ice power flowed as he and the Turtle Immortal Patriarch each grasped one of Ao Long’s wrists, beginning to suppress her rampaging power and poison spirit.

Both were top demon kings; together, they could briefly suppress and isolate the forces in Ao Long’s body.

Lu Changsheng’s expression was grave as he fully activated the Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex to extract the poison spirit from deep in Ao Long’s demon veins.

This poison spirit was terrifying and stubborn.

Even under suppression from Lu Changsheng, the Turtle Immortal Patriarch, and Green Dragon King, it kept spreading toward Lu Changsheng, assaulting him.

Without his Chaos Body’s immunity to myriad poisons, even converting his technique to the top poison art Ten Thousand Calamities Toxic Spirit Codex wouldn’t suffice.

Time ticked by. Under the Turtle Immortal Patriarch and Green Dragon King’s suppression, Lu Changsheng finally forced the poison spirit out of the demon veins.

This conscious poison spirit, driven from the veins, immediately rampaged, darting wildly through Ao Long’s body, erupting with terrifying toxic force.

“Now’s the moment—come out!”

Lu Changsheng deployed the divine ability Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Hand, reaching forward through Ao Long’s body to extract the poison spirit completely.

“Buzz!” The Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Hand gripped the darting poison spirit tightly.

And in that instant, Lu Changsheng’s palm also grasped something high and full.
