Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1822: 445: Continuing the Hunt, Methods of the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch

Watching Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng vanish into the distance, the three Ming Sha True Monarchs refrained from a reckless chase. Instead, they began a serious deliberation on their next move against True Master Yangming.

"That individual's spiritual beast is certainly remarkable, but such high-intensity, explosive flight cannot be maintained for long. It will eventually become unsustainable," Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch remarked.

As a Nascent Soul Cultivator hailing from the Beast God Mountain lineage, he possessed a deep understanding of the habits of demon beasts. He was certain that the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng could not endure many more rounds of such power bursts. Furthermore, trapped within this Secret Realm, they had no reason to fear that True Master Yangming might truly escape their grasp.

"Daoist Ming Sha, there is no need for anxiety," Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch added, glancing at the visibly pale Ming Sha True Monarch. He understood the man's desperation to slay True Master Yangming. Such a terrifying adversary, if left alive, would become a lingering nightmare, making it impossible to find peace even during rest or meals!

"This person is far from simple. Since he was completely unaffected by my divine abilities, it is highly probable he is a reincarnation of some Nascent Soul Old Monster—a possession reincarnation," Yun Mei Monarch interjected at that moment.

During their brief clash earlier, True Master Yangming had been entirely immune to the divine abilities of his cultivation technique, which was truly shocking. This implied the man either held a top-tier soul treasure capable of warding off charm contaminations or possessed a Nascent Soul Level Soul. For a Core Formation Cultivator to achieve a Nascent Soul Level Soul was a feat of extreme difficulty, far surpassing the challenge of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator attaining a Core Formation Divine Soul!

Even if one were fortunate enough to break through to a Nascent Soul Level Soul, they should not have been able to totally disregard his divine abilities. Thus, suspicion mounted that True Master Yangming was either a High Rank Cultivator who had broken through the mystery of the womb or a Nascent Soul Monster inhabiting a new body through possession reincarnation. There was simply no other way to explain how a mere Core Formation Cultivator wielded such divine combat power!

"Indeed, it is very likely that this person is the reincarnation of a Nascent Soul Old Monster, a possession reincarnation," Ming Sha True Monarch agreed with a nod. The fact that three Nascent Soul Cultivators had besieged a single Core Formation Cultivator only for him to escape was a humiliating scandal. If word of this reached the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, they would become a laughingstock! However, if the opponent was actually a Nascent Soul Monster in a new form, the situation became slightly more acceptable. Though rare, such occurrences were known to Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

"Rest easy, I have already committed their aura to memory. He cannot run," Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch said in a raspy voice. He momentarily relaxed his stance, retrieved an elixir medicine from his storage ring, and consumed it to stabilize his internal state. Although he was eager to finish True Master Yangming, the previous encounter proved the man was dangerous; he needed to keep his own condition at its peak.

"We must remain cautious, however. I have word that Azure Phoenix True Monarch has also entered this Secret Realm. If True Master Yangming links up with Azure Phoenix True Monarch, or if he has other allies, things will become very problematic," Ming Sha True Monarch stated grimly. They only dared to hunt True Master Yangming because they held the numerical advantage. If he found even a single Nascent Soul Cultivator to assist him, they would be forced to abort. In a Nascent Soul-level Secret Realm, hunting another Nascent Soul-level power without an absolute advantage was nearly impossible.

"Azure Phoenix True Monarch..." Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch narrowed his eyes at the mention of the name and nodded. Being from Beast God Mountain, he was even more familiar with Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s reputation than Ming Sha. Years ago, Beast God Mountain had plotted to seize her opportunities, but her methods were so formidable that the sect lost several Core Formation Cultivators in the process. If True Master Yangming joined forces with her, the situation would indeed be dire.

...

A full day passed.

"Has it worked?" Inside a secluded cave, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes. Noting that Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Ming Sha True Monarch had yet to find him, he raised an eyebrow in curiosity. However, he did not lower his guard, instructing A Wu to maintain a strict watch on the perimeter and alert him to any movement immediately.

Two more days slipped by in silence. Just as Lu Changsheng began to believe he had truly evaded Ming Sha’s group, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror triggered an alarm. The aura of Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch was stealthily drawing near.

"It appears the issue isn't just with the Golden Peng. That person must have a secret technique to track me," Lu Changsheng observed, his expression turning grim as he opened his eyes. He could use the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to flee again, but if the pursuit continued like this, the beast’s stamina would eventually fail. Once the Peng reached its limit, his own speed and strength would be tested against three pursuers.

"Even with the help of the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill, attempting to fight three Nascent Souls simultaneously is far too dangerous. The risk is excessive," Lu Changsheng thought, shaking his head. Judging by Ming Sha True Monarch’s earlier display of power, if Lu Changsheng went all out—as he had against the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master—he might be able to kill one of them. But being entangled by three Nascent Souls was an entirely different matter. Unless, of course, he unleashed his full power and pushed the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to its absolute limit, burning the Spirit Treasure Origin!

Yet, fully activating the mirror, specifically the Taiyin Mysterious Light, would create a disturbance far too massive to ignore. "It seems my only option is to find a way to kill Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, or at least wound him severely..." Lu Changsheng thought, his eyes flashing with a cold, predatory light as he looked toward the approaching enemy.

Over the past few days, his physical body had recovered to ninety percent of its peak. The only drawback was that the mana within the Tianyuan Lotus in his Second Dantian had not yet been refilled. Nevertheless, as long as he refrained from overusing the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, a full-strength burst of power would be enough.

Lu Changsheng immediately gripped the Great Luo Sword Embryo, using the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to monitor Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s progress. It was clear the man was being extremely cautious. Upon entering the mountain range, he slowed his pace, his body shimmering with crystalline silkworm threads. He scanned the area warily, observing and waiting rather than rushing blindly into a potential trap.
