Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1826: 468: Azure Phoenix True Monarch, End of the Secret Realm!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
A Nascent Soul Cultivator standing his ground against a Nascent Soul True Lord is already a feat that defies belief.
Yet, this individual possesses a hidden treasure and actually dares to engage in a life-or-death struggle against three Nascent Soul True Lords?
The very idea was simply inconceivable!
Nevertheless, for some inexplicable reason, Azure Phoenix True Monarch felt inclined to believe it.
"The life-bound beast of Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch is a mutated Heavenly Silkworm. Utilizing this creature, he can vaguely perceive the Qi of Heaven and Earth or employ a secret technique to track magical auras that are undetectable to ordinary people."
Despite having only recently ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, Azure Phoenix True Monarch possessed over four centuries of life experience and was privy to many hidden truths.
Because she specialized in raising Daoist soldiers and fourth-rank Azure Phoenixes, her mastery of Beast Taming led her to pay close attention to the movements of Beast God Mountain.
"Detecting magical auras that others cannot?"
Lu Changsheng was aware that certain demon beasts possessed an extraordinary sense of smell, allowing them to identify scents invisible to most, much like the ubiquitous Treasure-seeking Mouse or Seeking Spirit Mouse.
However, he had not anticipated that the spirit beast of Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch would be endowed with such a specific capability.
It was no wonder that regardless of his attempts to evade them, that man always managed to track his location.
"It appears your spirit beast has been afflicted by a toxin from Beast God Mountain, doesn't it? This Beast Spirit Detoxification Pill should provide some relief."
Azure Phoenix True Monarch observed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and retrieved a porcelain flask from her storage ring, tossing it toward Lu Changsheng.
This gesture wasn't merely repayment for the favor of the Phoenix True Feather; seeing Lu Changsheng’s capabilities, she was genuinely interested in forming a bond with him.
Given the nature of her own cultivation technique and her recognition of Lu Changsheng’s immense providence, she knew that befriending him would be highly advantageous!
"My thanks to you, Azure Phoenix Daoist."
Lu Changsheng caught the medicine and took a brief sniff. Confirming it was indeed a type of detoxification elixir, though uncertain of its total potency, he fed it to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
Once the pill was ingested, the agitation within the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng subsided slightly, though a profound sense of exhaustion began to wash over its frame.
"What brings Azure Phoenix Daoist to this location?"
Lu Changsheng turned his gaze toward Azure Phoenix True Monarch, curious if she was currently available.
If Ming Sha True Monarch could recruit Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Tan Mei True Monarch to hunt him down, he could certainly request Azure Phoenix True Monarch to help him turn the tables.
Beyond the matter of the Double-headed Flood Dragon Demon Pill and the guidance given to his son, Lu Qingxuan, Azure Phoenix True Monarch still owed him a debt of gratitude.
If he could convince her to assist, the combined strength of the two might actually suffice to execute Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
After all, Lu Changsheng was well aware that the woman before him was no mere Nascent Soul Cultivator; she was at least an Earth Dao Nascent Soul. With her Azure Phoenix Daoist Soldiers and a fourth-rank Azure Phoenix, her martial prowess far outstripped others of her rank!
"I happen to be attending to some business in this area and am currently preparing to travel to the central zone. Does Daoist Yangming wish to accompany me?"
Even though the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng was badly hurt, Azure Phoenix True Monarch could tell that Lu Changsheng himself was largely unscathed.
Even if he were injured, his previous claim of fighting to the death using a secret treasure made her willing to extend an invitation.
"The central area..."
Lu Changsheng realized she wouldn't abandon the prime opportunities within the Secret Realm just to help him hunt Ming Sha True Monarch and his allies.
After a moment of reflection, he replied, "With the Golden Peng in such a state and only a few trump cards left in my possession, I am reluctant to involve myself further in the Secret Realm's depths. Does Azure Phoenix Daoist know of a way to bypass the senses and tracking of the Heavenly Silkworm?"
Lu Changsheng understood perfectly why she was heading toward the center.
However, since he relied on tools like the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror—which had to be used with extreme discretion—he didn't dare venture into the central zone.
If he drew unwanted attention, the situation would become perilous.
Furthermore, his primary defense against Nascent Soul experts was the Great Luo Sword Embryo. If a master of the blade like Xuanjian True Monarch spotted it, their greed could lead to significant trouble.
Azure Phoenix True Monarch fixed her beautiful eyes on Lu Changsheng and explained, "While Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch can track you through his life-bound silkworm, he cannot do so without limit. So long as you remain mobile and avoid staying stationary, it will be difficult for him to maintain a lock on you."
"As you move, you can also utilize the blood and demon qi of other beasts to disrupt the Qi flow, which will interfere with his ability to sense and smell your trail."
Azure Phoenix True Monarch clarified.
"Is it truly that simple?"
Lu Changsheng was stunned, surprised that the solution was so straightforward.
He realized his own lack of specialized knowledge had been his undoing.
"It is. While such tracking methods are potent, they are not invincible. In the outside world, if you possessed a treasure to mask heavenly secrets, you would only need to enter the chaos of the void or the Nine Heavens Gang Wind to break the connection."
"I can also attempt to mask your aura, though I cannot promise it will fully shield you from the Heavenly Silkworm's perception."
Azure Phoenix True Monarch let out a soft laugh. Her striking, elegant features radiated a sense of cold pride and a heroic yet feminine aura.
Whether it was her bloodline technique or the rapid growth of her Azure Phoenix to the fourth rank, much of her success was rooted in the Phoenix True Feather provided by Lu Changsheng.
Consequently, she had always treated Lu Changsheng with kindness.
Moreover, his recent display of power made her respect him as a peer and friend.
"If that is the case, I must trouble you, Daoist."
Lu Changsheng immediately clasped his hands in gratitude toward her.
"Buzz!"
With her slender hands, Azure Phoenix True Monarch formed a Dharma Seal. A droplet of crimson blood emerged from her finger, circling Lu Changsheng like a miniature Phoenix.
In an instant, Lu Changsheng sensed an ethereal Qi surrounding him, serving to hide and dissipate his magical presence.
"I thank you, Azure Phoenix Daoist!"
He bowed and then retrieved two spiritual items taken from Lou Mountain True Monarch, offering them to her. "A small gift. I wish you great success in the Secret Realm."
"Daoist Yangming, you are far too polite."
Azure Phoenix True Monarch accepted the items without hesitation, remarking, "The core treasures of the Secret Realm are expected to appear in about half a month. Are you certain you won't come with me?"
She held little regard for most of the Nascent Soul cultivators present, but because she found Lu Changsheng so mysterious, she was willing to invite him once more.
