Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1838: 472: Good Deeds Are Rewarded

"Could this be the true power of the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill... To break and then stand, becoming invincible beneath the heavens..."
Lu Changsheng’s soul consciousness remained fully alert even though he was unconscious, allowing him to perceive his physical state with absolute clarity.
His Qi and Blood were completely drained, his flesh was mangled, and his bones were shattered. His meridians and Dantian had suffered severe damage, while his Golden Core Dao Foundation appeared dim and lackluster.
Under normal circumstances, such injuries would leave any other cultivator crippled for life or unable to wake at all, provided they even survived. It was only due to his Chaos Body, Undying Golden Body, and the effects of the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill that he remained among the living.
Death was now a difficult prospect for him, thanks to the synergy between his Chaos Body and the pill.
While his Spiritual Body and Undying Material would allow for a gradual recovery, he could also trigger the pill’s full potency to accelerate the process significantly.
However, the pill's energy had surged too violently to immediately achieve the "break and stand" effect of Nirvana Transformation.
The optimal path was to let the pill’s Nirvana Power slowly saturate his limbs and bones. This would allow his flesh, skin, organs, meridians, and Dantian to be reconstructed into a more resilient form before unleashing a total transformation through a complete rebirth.
"I wonder how Azure Phoenix True Monarch intends to treat me now?"
Lu Changsheng connected his consciousness to the Life-Substituting Talisman in his mind, curious about the response of the woman he had just saved.
He was well aware that the combat strength he had displayed, the slaying of the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, and the Storage Ring he took from the purple-robed elder would be incredibly tempting to any cultivator.
Currently, he lay before them in a state of total vulnerability.
"Is this a test of human nature?"
The thought crossed his mind; it felt as though he were putting Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s character to the ultimate trial.
Suddenly, he felt a shift in the world's Qi Mechanism. The howling turbulence of the void’s chaotic streams vanished, leading him to believe they had finally exited the Great Void.
Before long, he felt his body being placed upon a cold, hard stone surface. A slender hand was soon pressed against his chest.
"Buzz!"
The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror tucked in his robes vibrated instantly. It flew out of its own accord, radiating the brilliance of the sun and moon.
The mirror’s surface reflected the image of a girl with a stoic expression, gazing at the pale and exhausted Azure Phoenix True Monarch, whose brow was etched with weariness.
"Hm!?"
Azure Phoenix True Monarch was visibly startled, her eyes widening in horror as she looked at the mirror spirit flowing with Yin Yang brilliance and Sun and Moon essence.
Even though the mirror suppressed its Qi Mechanism, the mere sight of it instilled a sense of profound dread within her.
It was clear that the mirror would protect its master and strike her down the moment she harbored even a shred of malice toward Lu Changsheng.
A Spiritual Treasure!
This was undeniably a top-tier Spiritual Treasure, a true Supreme Treasure!
"This..."
Shock filled the heart of Azure Phoenix True Monarch. She had not expected Lu Changsheng to possess such a terrifying trump card in reserve, even after his previous display of power.
"I was merely attempting to save him," she stated.
Azure Phoenix True Monarch looked down at Lu Changsheng. His handsome face was as white as paper, his eyes were shut, and his breathing was so faint he seemed to be at death's door.
Despite her own paleness and lack of energy, her sharp cheekbones and poised demeanor remained intact, showing no signs of weakness.
A Wu remained silent, her gaze fixed intently on Azure Phoenix True Monarch.
"A Wu."
Lu Changsheng, sensing the tension outside, sent a mental message to A Wu, telling her there was no need for such extreme vigilance.
As the mirror spirit shifted slightly to the side while keeping its Qi Mechanism locked on her, Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s bloodless lips parted slightly. "Daoist Yangming, I, Mu Qinghuang, have always been one to settle my debts of kindness and grudges clearly."
"Such a great benevolence cannot be easily repaid. For now, I can only offer the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Technique' as reciprocity. If I cause any offense, I ask for your forgiveness."
As she finished speaking, Lu Changsheng heard the distinct rustling of fabric.
Had he opened his eyes or used his Divine Sense, he would have seen the shattered armor of Azure Phoenix True Monarch vanishing. Her green embroidered Simurgh robes, along with her ribbons and gown, slipped to the floor.
Under the glow of the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, her snow-white skin appeared, though it was currently drained of color and marred by numerous wounds. She looked like a piece of the world's finest jade that had been chipped and scratched, a sight that would bring heartache to any observer.
Even so, her physique remained breathtakingly exquisite, a divine work of art where every curve radiated an incomparable charm.
Her towering chest, slender waist, and powerful, shapely legs were particularly striking.
"Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Technique?"
Lu Changsheng was unfamiliar with this particular Divine Ability, but the sound of clothes falling was a noise he knew all too well.
In the next instant, he felt that slender, jade-like hand return to his chest, beginning to peel away his own tattered garments.
"Could it be..."
Once his robes were removed, Lu Changsheng felt a wave of scorching Mana flood into his Dantian. It began to revitalize his withered Qi and Blood, stirring his Yang Qi.
"???"
As someone who had acted as a healer for many, Lu Changsheng realized immediately what Azure Phoenix True Monarch was doing.
She was using dual cultivation to heal him!
Having always been the one to provide healing to others, being on the receiving end of such a method filled Lu Changsheng with a strange, indescribable feeling.
He thought back to her usual image—the elegant and noble attire, her majestic and stern presence, her aloof arrogance, and the gallant warrior who had wielded a great halberd in armor like a Valkyrie. To think she was now healing him in this manner... it felt like a dream.
This was, after all, Azure Phoenix True Monarch, the legendary number one Loose Cultivator of Jiang Country.
The memory of her standing alone against five Nascent Soul cultivators like a peerless goddess of war was still burned into his mind.
