Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1788: 455: Counting the Spoils, the Shock of the 4 Gưreat Immortal Sects (part 2)

The Great Dream Marsh, a vast and endless sea, presents a significant disadvantage compared to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range when it comes to the tedious task of clearing the battlefield.

Most of the demon beast remains from the earlier Slaughter have already plunged into the depths of the ocean.

Furthermore, because the cave mansions of these beasts are situated on the sea floor, retrieving loot is an arduous and time-consuming process, even with the assistance of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale.

"Understood, Father!"

Lu Lingxiao, who was currently occupied with duties, looked up and gave an immediate reply.

Observing Lu Lingxiao preparing to depart the city, Lu Wangshu inquired about the situation before heading off to find Lu Changsheng.

"Dad, I want to accompany Lingxiao!"

Seeing the eager anticipation on his daughter’s face, Lu Changsheng smiled warmly and said, "Very well, you and Xiao’er may go together."

"Dad, do I need to hide my identity? Perhaps I should act as the Grand Princess of the Immortal City?"

Lu Wangshu made the suggestion cleverly, understanding the importance of avoiding unnecessary attention.

Under ordinary circumstances, there was no harm in Lu Wangshu being seen with the Young City Lord, Lu Lingxiao.

However, since they were heading out with the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, maintaining a disguise was a more prudent course of action.

After a moment of reflection, Lu Changsheng passed a jade pendant to his daughter, saying, "In that case, you should indeed mask your appearance."

"I will."

Lu Wangshu took the jade pendant and promptly applied a skillful disguise.

In the world of Cultivation, the arts of camouflage and disguise are vital survival tools for any practitioner.

Having survived for many years within the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Lu Wangshu had naturally become an expert in such techniques.

Once she was ready, the siblings—watched by the awestruck and curious gazes of the crowd—dove into the ocean alongside the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale to begin the recovery of demon beast corpses and crystal cores.

...

As the Immortal City began to stabilize and the cleanup progressed, Lu Changsheng devoted himself entirely to dual cultivation with Hong Lian.

Several days passed before a refreshed Lu Changsheng rose from the bed and donned his robes.

The innate healing capabilities of his Chaos Body were truly extraordinary.

The minor strain caused by activating the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] had almost vanished entirely.

This experience allowed Lu Changsheng to conclude that, by utilizing the full power of The Celestial City Formation, he could potentially slay even seasoned Nascent Soul cultivators!

"Hong Lian, you should rest well."

Lu Changsheng spoke softly, glancing at the beautiful and elegant Hong Lian resting on the bed.

"Mmm~"

Though she still appeared somewhat frail, her vitality had clearly improved significantly.

Nevertheless, her Spirit Embryo Physique lacked the sheer endurance of Lu Changsheng’s body, meaning she would require more time to reach full recovery.

Upon exiting the cave mansion, Lu Changsheng waved his hand, manifesting a pile of treasures before him.

These were the items he had plundered from the Void Kun’s pocket realm.

Due to the chaotic nature of the battle, he hadn't possessed the luxury of inspecting them closely until now.

"One, two, three... Tsk, a total of seven Void Crystals!"

He immediately spotted the shimmering silver Void Crystals, which were pulsating with intense spatial fluctuations.

Years ago, he had obtained three Void Crystals from a sea eye once occupied by the Void Kun. He had used one large piece to enhance the Formless Treasure Wheel, traded another to Azure Phoenix True Monarch, and kept the final one to study the Power of the Void.

With seven more Void Crystals now in his possession, he could use them as high-level currency with Nascent Soul experts or utilize them to condense his own realms.

In the past, Lu Changsheng had found it exhausting to rely solely on tearing the void and grabbing fragments to build his realms.

Aside from the Void Crystals, the only other Heaven and Earth Spiritual Material that caught his eye was a Sea Marrow Crystal; the rest of the hoard was relatively mediocre.

This was simply due to the fact that this particular Void Kun had only recently reached the fourth rank, leaving it with a shallow foundation.

"It would be incredible if I could raise a Void Kun just to harvest it for Void Crystals."

Lu Changsheng looked at the crystals in his palm and let out a small sigh.

He then proceeded to the hall in the backyard.

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng was still busy feasting on the remains of the Rage Sea Spike Shark.

The massive frame of that sea beast provided a long-lasting meal.

Lu Changsheng then turned his attention to the Void Kun carcass, which remained preserved by a powerful formation.

Although the Solar Mysterious Light had heavily scorched its hide and flesh,

Lu Changsheng had luckily stopped the attack in time to save enough intact material for crafting Fourth Rank Talisman Skins.

Drawing the Great Luo Sword Embryo, he began to meticulously harvest the best sections of the Kun hide for his talismans.

Soon, he uncovered a translucent, pale blue demon core that radiated thick spatial energy.

As he gripped the core, the spatial origin within Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Body reacted with an unusual thrum of excitement.

"With a demon core of this caliber, my efficiency in grasping the Power of the Void and gathering void fragments will double. There is even a chance my Void Spirit Body will reach the level of completion!"

A look of pure delight crossed Lu Changsheng’s face.

His rapid mastery of spatial laws was largely thanks to the advantages of his Void Spirit Body.

If he could successfully absorb the spatial essence of this Fourth Rank Demon Core or craft it into a high-tier magical treasure for nourishment, his Void Spirit Body might finally achieve perfection.

Nearby, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng stared intensely at the demon core, its golden eyes filled with primal hunger.

Lu Changsheng ignored the bird's yearning and placed the core into a protective brocade box, intending to use it later for a Spirit Treasure Embryo or for deep meditation on spatial laws.

However, seeing the Heavenly Peng's desperate gaze, he relented and tossed it some of the Kun's flesh.

After all, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale had already enjoyed a Fourth Rank Demon Core and a Fourth Rank Stone Dragon Heart, while the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng had yet to taste such high-level prey.

Once he finished, Lu Changsheng stopped the butchering process.

He planned to use the Heavenly Demon Blood and the Origin Essence of the Void Kun to advance his "Brahman Demon True Saint Technique."

Dismantling the body further would only cause the spiritual essence within the remains to bleed away.

"It is a shame Ping’an is away. It would have been far more beneficial to give him this Void Kun’s Origin Essence to assist his breakthrough."

Lu Changsheng thought of his firstborn son, Lu Ping’an.

Since his son’s body refinement had already reached the Third Rank Late Stage, he was now strong enough to withstand the potent energy of a Fourth Rank Demon King’s Origin Essence.
