Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1787: 455: Inventory of Gains, Shock of the Four Great Immortal Sects

While the Three Treasures Incarnation and Lu Miaoge conducted their inspection of the Immortal City, they were soon joined by Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, Lu Qingqi, and Lu Qingsong.

"Our respects to Changsheng True Master and Miao Ge True Man!"

Upon spotting the duo, the surrounding cultivators offered their greetings with deep reverence.

Even though the combat performance of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge had seemed unremarkable during the earlier conflict, the situation had changed.

The Great Dream City Lord had successfully took down a Fourth Rank Demon King, and as the Vice City Lord, Lu Changsheng’s prestige naturally soared alongside that victory.

"Rise."

Lu Changsheng gave a brief nod to the crowd before turning his attention to Lu Qingshan. "What are your thoughts after facing the beast tide?" he inquired.

"A Fourth Rank Demon King possesses a terror that is truly beyond description," Lu Qingshan replied solemnly.

When he had previously encountered the Angry Sea Lance Shark and the Eight-Clawed Devil Fish—both Third Rank Late Stage Demon Kings—he had merely found them formidable.

However, the appearance of the Void Kun had forced him to truly grasp the horror of a Fourth Rank Demon King.

The mere pressure of its Qi mechanism had left him completely immobilized!

"Haha, the difference between cultivation realms is like a vast canyon. This Void Kun had only recently ascended to the Fourth Rank, and its innate divine abilities weren't yet fully matured. Had it been otherwise, the situation would have been far more grave," Lu Changsheng remarked with a soft chuckle.

"It only just reached the Fourth Rank?"

Lu Qingshan’s gaze sharpened as he attempted to gauge the combat potential of a Nascent Soul True Lord based on the Void Kun's display of power.

Generally, demon beasts have an advantage in the early stages due to their resilient physical forms and tenacious vitality, often surpassing cultivators of an equivalent rank.

Yet, once the Nascent Soul level is reached, cultivators wield divine skills that far outstrip those of a Demon King, erasing the disadvantage and often granting them the upper hand.

Of course, at such a high level, certain Demon Kings also utilize bloodline inheritances to craft magical treasures and hone divine skills, meaning the final outcome usually depends on the depth of one's foundation.

"Father, Ling Xiao mentioned earlier that this Immortal City actually belongs to us?"

Lu Qingshan finally voiced the suspicion that had been weighing on his mind.

"Have you not already deduced the truth?" Lu Changsheng asked, a subtle smile playing on his lips.

"I had a guess..."

Lu Qingshan had indeed suspected that the Great Dream City Lord was another identity of his father.

But how could there be two of them?

An External Incarnation?

The idea seemed almost too incredible to believe.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingqi, tired of the cryptic exchange, excitedly grabbed the wrist of her aunt, Lu Miaoge. "Aunt, what was that spell you used earlier?"

She had recognized the Solar Silent Oblivion Divine Light used by Lu Changsheng, as her brother Lu Qingxuan had displayed it before.

However, she found herself much more drawn to her aunt’s Taiyin Disaster Crossing Robe than the solar technique.

If she could master such a divine skill, she could join her brother in vanquishing evil and protecting the innocent!

"That technique is known as the Taiyin Disaster Crossing Robe," Lu Miaoge answered warmly.

"Aunt, is it possible for me to learn it? I saw my brother using Father's skills, so I want to learn yours!" Lu Qingqi pleaded with enthusiasm.

"Well..."

While innate divine abilities can eventually be distilled into teachable techniques once mastered at a high level, Lu Miaoge's control over this skill was largely due to Lu Changsheng using the Taiyi Divine Soul and Tai Yi Life Water Technique to manifest it for her.

"This is a divine skill that can only be practiced after Core Formation. Once you reach that stage, I will see to it that you learn it," Lu Changsheng intervened, addressing his daughter.

"Core Formation..."

The words drained the excitement right out of Lu Qingqi, leaving her looking defeated.

Although her current cultivation progress made a future attempt at Core Formation possible, she lacked self-assurance.

She knew that achieving Core Formation required more than just talent; it demanded immense luck, unwavering perseverance, and a heart of iron.

Aside from her family's support and a bit of talent, she felt she was quite ordinary in every other regard.

Noticing her slumped shoulders, Lu Changsheng said with a touch of exasperation, "If you simply commit to your daily cultivation, reaching Core Formation in the future won't be the impossible task you imagine."

Despite only possessing a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, her mother Lu Miaohuan's influence meant her physical body, meridians, and Dantian were naturally more robust than most. With hard work, Core Formation was well within her reach.

"Is that true? It just feels so daunting," Lu Qingqi muttered.

Even though she knew her father was powerful, the concept of a Core Formation Immortal remained a legendary peak in her mind.

"Core Formation is nothing to fear. Just focus on your cultivation and reach the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment. Your brother will take care of the Coagulation Crystal Elixir and any Core Formation Spiritual Objects you might need," Lu Qingshan interjected, raising an eyebrow as he encouraged his sister.

"Really? Thank you, Brother! I promise to work as hard as I can!"

Lu Qingqi’s mood shifted instantly. She thanked her brother with the fervor of a devoted fan, already daydreaming about the thrill of becoming a Core Formation Immortal.

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly before turning to the older Lu Qingsong. "Qingsong, the same applies to you. You must dedicate more effort to your daily practice."

Though Coagulation Crystal Elixirs were rare treasures, Lu Qingshan felt confident that with his strength, he could secure a few of them during the Liangyue War.

Lu Qingsong could only offer a strained smile.

While his sister might have a path to Core Formation, his Seventh Grade Spiritual Root made such a goal virtually impossible for him.

Nevertheless, he softly replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother."

Sensing his son's feelings, Lu Changsheng patted Lu Qingsong on the shoulder and instructed him to go check on the various islands that had been hit by the beast tide.

Even though the Great Dream Immortal City had taken the brunt of the assault, the surrounding areas had undoubtedly suffered damage as well.

"I'll come with you, Qingsong," Lu Qingshan offered. He wanted to ensure his brother's safety and perhaps hunt down a few remaining demon beasts along the way.

As they departed, Lu Changsheng sent a mental transmission to his son, Lu Lingxiao.

"Xiao’er, take Big Black and go collect the demon beast remains and crystal cores from the battlefield. Afterward, scout the Great Dream Marsh with him to strip the demon beast dens of any heavenly and earthly treasures they might be hiding."
