Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1791: 456: Enemy from Liang Country, True Spirit Tribulation!

"An ancestral bloodline mutation? Reaching the Third Rank in less than a century?"

The long-legged Holy Maiden, radiating a wild and untamed aura, ran her slender scarlet tongue across her lips as a flicker of curiosity danced in her beautiful eyes.

The name of this Heavenly Talisman Lu Family was unfamiliar to her; they were likely nothing more than a minor power.

For such an insignificant clan to raise a Nether Moon Wolf to the Third Rank within a hundred years was virtually impossible.

This suggested that the demon beast had encountered some extraordinary stroke of luck.

"What is the background of this Heavenly Talisman Lu Family? Is the report reliable?"

Standing tall and imposing, the Nether Moon Saintess looked down at the kneeling subordinate, her deep, sharp eyes flashing with a frigid light as she questioned him.

"Reporting to the Holy Daughter, the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family is a Nascent Soul Family that recently rose to prominence in Jiang Country. Their ancestor is named Lu Changsheng, known to the world as Changsheng True Master..."

"Based on my investigation, the news appears to be authentic. However, regarding the specifics of the bloodline mutation and variation, we must send someone to Jiang Country to verify the details..."

The subordinate was well aware of how much the Holy Maiden valued the Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf. To ensure no one else snatched the credit, they had rushed to report the moment the news was confirmed.

"Changsheng True Master."

A disdainful scoff escaped the Nether Moon Saintess at the mention of the name.

While the title carried grand meaning and lofty ambitions, it was far too common. So many who claimed it had perished prematurely on the path of Cultivation that it had eventually become synonymous with bad luck.

Still, it wasn't surprising for a Nascent Soul cultivator from an upstart family to adopt such a name.

After all, those from remote, backwater regions often preferred titles that sounded the most prestigious.

"Nevertheless, for a struggling little family to cultivate a Nether Moon Wolf to the Third Rank in under a century proves they have something unusual."

"Unless they utilized a forbidden technique that consumes the beast's life force, this Nether Moon Wolf's progress cannot be explained by a simple bloodline mutation!"

As a Nascent Soul seed of Beast God Mountain and a premier genius who had personally raised a Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf, the Nether Moon Saintess possessed immense expertise in the Dao of beast taming.

She knew that a standard ancestral mutation would never allow a Nether Moon Wolf to reach the Third Rank so quickly.

It was either nurtured through secret beast-taming arts, or its bloodline had undergone a profound awakening, perhaps even aided by a top-tier bloodline treasure!

She dismissed the idea of feeding a Second Rank demon beast a Third Rank Beast Origin Elixir or a Third Rank Demon Core. Such a wasteful and inefficient method was beneath her consideration.

Even with her status as a Nascent Soul seed of Beast God Mountain, she wouldn't be so reckless, let alone a fledgling Nascent Soul Family.

"Very well, I shall dispatch someone to look into this. If the reports are accurate, you will be handsomely rewarded!"

The Nether Moon Saintess spoke, her voice carrying a magnetic, commanding weight.

While she was deeply interested in anything concerning the Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf, she wouldn't personally trek to Jiang Country based on unverified rumors.

Furthermore, with the opening of the Vast Sand Illusion Realm drawing near, she was bound by her patrol obligations.

Even if she had the time, crossing from Yue Country into Jiang Country was a risk she couldn't take lightly.

After dismissing the subordinate with a bottle of medicinal pills from her storage ring, she crushed a jade talisman.

Moments later, a figure clad in dark, form-fitting soft armor and a black mask materialized.

"Your Highness!"

Beyond her status as a Nascent Soul seed, the Nether Moon Saintess was the direct scion of a Nascent Soul True Lord within Beast God Mountain.

Because of her peerless talent, her family had provided her with several highly trained, loyal retainers.

These subordinates were meant to be her foundation, ensuring she had the necessary power and authority whether she attained the Nascent Soul stage or eventually took over as the Sect Leader.

"Ying’er, news has reached me that the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family of Jiang Country has a Third Rank Nether Moon Wolf with an ancestral bloodline mutation..."

"Go there and determine the extent of its bloodline awakening. Investigate how Lu Changsheng managed to bring it to the Third Rank in just a hundred years. If the claims are true, bring that Nether Moon Wolf back to me!"

The Nether Moon Saintess gave her orders, handing over a Third Rank Spirit Ring as she spoke.

Although this trusted aide was only at the early stage of Core Formation, she was a master of assassination capable of threatening even Nascent Soul cultivators.

Since the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family was merely a new Nascent Soul power and the wolf had only just reached the Third Rank, Ying'er's strength was more than enough.

Furthermore, the Spirit Ring she provided was a rare treasure, capable of subduing and enslaving a Third Rank Demon King!

Even with an ancestral mutation, the wolf would be unable to resist the power of the ring.

"As you command, Your Highness!"

Ying’er took the Spirit Ring and bowed low, her eyes focused and resolute. Her lithe figure, encased in the dark armor, was perfectly balanced—her slender waist bent like a willow, appearing delicate yet possessing hidden strength.

In an instant, she seemed to merge with the shadows and disappeared.

"You’er, we're leaving."

With her arrangements settled, the Nether Moon Saintess called out to the heavenly wolf resting on a far-off stone dais.

"Roar!"

The Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf let out a low growl, transforming into a streak of deep purple lightning as it bounded toward her.

The Nether Moon Saintess leaped gracefully, her feet landing softly upon the powerful back of the beast.

Her pale, shapely legs—toned and full of vitality—stood out in vivid contrast against the dark purple fur of the wolf, creating a striking and alluring sight.

...

As the days passed, the events surrounding Great Dream Immortal City began to circulate throughout the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.

While the news was startling, it had little effect on the lives of common cultivators.

To those struggling to earn a handful of spirit stones each month, the grand upheavals of the high-level Cultivation world felt like distant stories.

Nevertheless, many eyes were now fixed on the Great Dream Marsh, with several cultivators considering the area as a potential site to settle down and build their own families.
