Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1801: 459: Return to Yue Country, Endless Wilderness!

A thousand miles from the Jinyang Sect, the shimmering yin-yang light faded away after twenty days of travel, revealing the forms of Lu Changsheng, Lu Qingshan, and Lu Qingzhu.

"Very well, you two shall continue the rest of the way alone; your father will stop here," Lu Changsheng remarked in a gentle tone while looking at his children.

Even though the distance between the Jinyang Sect and Bi Lake Mountain was no longer daunting after his advancement to the Core Formation stage, the constant travel remained a tedious affair.

Furthermore, Lu Qingshan served as a core seed for the Jinyang Sect. Should hostilities erupt, it was highly probable he would find no opportunity to return home at all.

"You have reached adulthood and are capable of charting your own path. I have little left to instruct you on, save for one hope: that you deliberate carefully before you act and do not gamble your life for trivial gains," Lu Changsheng advised his son.

"Dad, don’t worry," Lu Qingshan replied, his spirit burning with confidence.

Observing his son's vibrant energy, Lu Changsheng realized the youth would likely follow his own heart regardless. However, after all these years, he knew a few brief words were insufficient to change a person's nature. Gently stroking his daughter’s head, he added, "Little Bamboo, if you find yourself in need of anything, contact your father immediately."

"Dad, I understand," Lu Qingzhu answered softly. Her serene and lovely face showed that she had truly internalized Lu Changsheng’s concerns.

"Look after Little Bamboo well," Lu Changsheng directed toward Lu Qingshan once more.

His decision to permit Lu Qingzhu to remain with the Jinyang Sect was born from her own persistence and the hope that her presence would act as a tether for Lu Qingshan, preventing him from behaving with total recklessness.

"Dad, rest assured, whoever wants to harm Little Bamboo will have to contend with my sword first!" Lu Qingshan declared, his aura instantly becoming sharp and piercing at the mention of his sister's safety.

The siblings had been raised side-by-side and shared a deep bond; since arriving at the distant Jinyang Sect, they had become each other's sole pillars of support. Lu Qingshan cherished his sister more than his own life and had long embraced the role of her protector.

"Alright, go now," Lu Changsheng said with a soft pat on the young man's shoulder.

After a brief, lingering hug for her father, Lu Qingzhu departed with her brother toward the Jinyang Sect.

"Hoo!"

As their silhouettes faded into the distance, Lu Changsheng exhaled slowly. The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror manifested in his palm. He commanded the mirror's spirit to track Lu Ping’an’s Sun and Moon Token and to notify him immediately if any bloodline resonance was detected.

Mounting the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, he soared toward the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. Upon locating a Third Rank Spirit Vein, he evicted the occupying Demon King and utilized the spiritual power of the land to fuel the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, attempting to glimpse Lu Ping’an’s current state.

After a search lasting more than two weeks, Lu Changsheng concluded that Lu Ping’an was likely no longer within the borders of Yue Country. He then directed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng toward Wu Country.

Throughout the journey, Lu Changsheng employed divination to seek auspicious paths and avoid calamity, using his grasp of heavenly mechanisms to guide his flight. However, Lu Ping’an’s fate was shrouded in a thick, white fog, rendering the divination vague. Lu Changsheng was forced to rely on his own gut feelings to navigate.

For a cultivator, intuition and the sixth sense can be as reliable as the reading of heavenly mechanisms, especially for those of high rank who often receive sudden premonitions of impending peril.

"Crossing through the Endless Wilderness to reach Wu Country, is it..."

Two paths led from Yue Country to Wu Country: a direct border crossing or a wide detour through the Endless Wilderness. Guided by the intuition of his Nascent Soul level soul, Lu Changsheng felt the detour was the superior choice.

"Wait, the Endless Wilderness..."

"According to my earlier deductions, Ping’an possesses treasures that shield him from divination, and his current location is already steeped in mystery. Now, with the Vast Sand Illusion Realm opening in the Endless Wilderness, drawing in numerous Core Formation and even Nascent Soul cultivators, the heavenly mechanisms of this entire region will surely be thrown into chaos."

The threads of fate are never static.

In Great Dream Immortal City, the destiny established by the Azure Phoenix True Monarch and the gathered Qi of the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine at Bi Lake Mountain both served to warp the local heavenly mechanisms. Consequently, those residing within the Immortal City were nearly impossible for outsiders to calculate.

The news regarding the Secret Realm in the Endless Wilderness had spread far and wide. The combination of the realm's opening and the gathering of Nascent Soul experts would naturally distort the fate of the area, making any foresight difficult.

"Could Ping’an have been targeted for possession by some Nascent Soul Old Monster in the Endless Wilderness? Or perhaps he is trapped within the Vast Sand Illusion Realm?"

Lu Changsheng hesitated before dismissing the thought. Since the Vast Sand Illusion Realm had not yet closed, the timeline did not align with Lu Ping’an being possessed or his sudden breakthrough to Core Formation.

Otherwise, he might have imagined a scenario where a Nascent Soul Old Monster’s physical form perished in the realm, and its surviving Nascent Soul sought out Lu Ping’an’s body. Since a Nascent Soul spirit is exceptionally fragile, a failed possession might have caused it to dissolve, allowing his son to inherit the treasures and insights the elder had brought from the realm, thus facilitating a rapid breakthrough and the formation of an Acquired Spirit Body.

Barring such a bizarre stroke of luck, Lu Changsheng could not fathom how his son’s cultivation level could have skyrocketed so quickly following a possession attempt.

"Hoo!"

Shaking off these wild theories, Lu Changsheng trusted his instincts and urged the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng forward into the depths of the Endless Wilderness.
