Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1841: 473: Phoenix and Luan Cry, Farewell (part 2)

The Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Power possessed by Azure Phoenix True Monarch blended with the medicinal essence of the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill during their dual cultivation, giving rise to a Dragon Phoenix Origin that balanced like yin and yang.

Had Lu Changsheng not possessed the Chaos Body, this energy might have forced his physique to transform into an Acquired Spirit Body.

Even with his unique constitution, the influence of the Dragon Phoenix Origin brought significant enhancements to Lu Changsheng’s physical shell, mana, divine sense, Yin Yang Five Elements Foundation Base, Yin Yang Great Dao Golden Core, and his Chaos Body.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Time lost its meaning as the phantoms of a dragon and phoenix roared in unison within the cave, releasing a majestic and vast aura of magic that surged outward like a relentless tide.

The cave trembled violently as if on the verge of total collapse, despite being reinforced by powerful formations and shielded by the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror.

As the ethereal forms of the dragon and phoenix faded away, the figures of a man and a woman were revealed.

They remained in a tight embrace, devoid of clothing, their gazes meeting with the intensity of lovers.

However, the woman’s eyes lacked deep affection; she pushed the man back softly and spoke, "Thank you, Daoist Yangming."

Lu Changsheng’s promises had proven true. Through several sessions of dual cultivation, her Heavenly Phoenix bloodline had reached a higher state of condensation, while her physical form, mana, and Nascent Soul Origin had all been bolstered.

She had effectively bypassed decades of arduous cultivation. Once she stabilized her gains, she would be able to break through to the next Small Realm immediately.

"Daoist, you are too kind. I should be the one expressing my gratitude to you," Lu Changsheng replied.

Looking at the Azure Phoenix True Monarch, Lu Changsheng felt a quiet sigh escape his heart.

He understood that the woman before him was a true seeker of the Dao, possessing a heart so resolute that it could not be easily moved by romantic feelings.

He realized that dreaming of winning her heart completely through a heroic rescue and a few bouts of dual cultivation was nothing more than a fantasy.

Observing her graceful, pale body which now shimmered with a faint golden luster, Lu Changsheng felt a lingering warmth.

Though he had initially taken the lead during their dual cultivation,

Azure Phoenix True Monarch had eventually adapted to the rhythm, occasionally asserting her own dominance and seizing control of the pace.

The entire encounter had been a captivating exchange of power between the two, possessing its own unique allure.

Surveying the disarray within the cave, the Azure Phoenix True Monarch raised her hand, summoning a reddish glow that instantly cleansed all impurities from the area.

She dressed herself in her elegant green brocade robe and fixed her messy hair, returning to her usual state as the valiant, cold, and regal Azure Phoenix True Monarch.

Lu Changsheng watched her with a slight daze, noting how she once again resembled a noble Young Master.

Without the evidence of his bare skin and the surge in his magic power, he might have believed the entire experience was merely a dream.

"Sigh!"

Recognizing that a cultivator of her caliber had to be won over gradually through true strength and personal merit, Lu Changsheng did not try to linger or pester her.

With a wave of his hand, he retrieved a green bamboo-patterned magic robe from his storage ring and put it on.

In his identity as Yangming True Master, he typically wore the black Fate-Defying Robe.

However, his Golden Tiger Dragon Pattern Armor had been obliterated in the preceding conflict, and the Fate-Defying Robe was too shredded to be worn.

He took a moment to inspect his internal condition.

His cultivation had advanced from an unstable Ninth Level of Core Formation to the very peak of perfection,

leaving him ready to face the Heavenly Tribulation and attempt the Nascent Soul stage at any moment!

His progress in body refinement was equally impressive.

Previously, he would have needed to consume immense resources while practicing the Brahman Demon True Saint Technique to reach Fourth Rank Body Refinement,

but now, that goal was within his immediate grasp.

Had he not feared that a breakthrough in Body Refinement would trigger a Heavenly Tribulation right then, Lu Changsheng could have used the Dragon Phoenix Nirvana Origin to shatter that physical bottleneck during their cultivation!

"The benefits are simply..."

Lu Changsheng turned his attention to his Qi Ocean Core’s Yin Yang Five Elements Foundation Base and the Yin Yang Great Dao Golden Core.

The advancement of his foundation was even more valuable to him than the increase in his cultivation level.

The combined power of the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill and the Heavenly Phoenix energy had birthed the Dragon Phoenix Origin.

Under the guidance of the Yin Yang Creation Classic, this origin moved in a cycle of yin and yang, refining Lu Changsheng’s Dao Foundation and Golden Core to a higher plane.

Yin Yang Fish could be seen circling his Dao Foundation and Golden Core, appearing as a fusion of the Azure Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, radiating a newfound sense of suppression.

"Dragon Phoenix Origin..."

Lu Changsheng whispered, realizing that his Yin Yang Source was now far more effective at strengthening his body, his foundation, and his dual cultivation sessions.

Furthermore, his mana now carried the weight of the Dragon Phoenix suppression, which would give him an advantage when dealing with demon beasts in battle.

"Daoist Yangming, now that the crisis has passed, our actions are bound to stir the envy of many Nascent Soul cultivators.

I intend to find a quiet place to process the gains from the secret realm and will not be going back to Azure Phoenix Immortal City for the time being. What do you intend to do?"

Azure Phoenix True Monarch looked at the handsome, immortal-like Lu Changsheng in his green robes and spoke after a short pause.

Their shared life-and-death struggle in the Secret Realm, followed by days of dual cultivation, had forged a natural connection between them.

"Going into seclusion and not returning to the city?"

Lu Changsheng’s brow rose as he realized she intended to disappear for a while.

She had put in immense effort to claim the Fourth Rank Spiritual Land of the Poison Dragon Pool. The construction of the Immortal City had only just begun, yet she was choosing to leave it behind.

However, upon further reflection, Lu Changsheng understood her reasoning.

Their performance in the Secret Realm and the treasures they obtained would undoubtedly bring trouble to Azure Phoenix Immortal City once the news spread.

Even though the Heavenly Sword Sect resided in Jiang Country,

Xuanjian True Monarch had not stepped in to help when Azure Phoenix True Monarch was being hunted by five Nascent Soul experts.

It was unclear if the Heavenly Sword Sect would support her or move against her if she returned now.

"I also plan to enter seclusion for a while," Lu Changsheng admitted.

While the Secret Realm had been profitable,

the price paid had been heavy.

His life-bound magic treasure, the [Yin Yang Chart], was compromised and needed to be upgraded and reforged.

His [Golden Tiger Dragon Pattern Armor] was gone, and his [Fate-Defying Robe] required extensive repairs.

Even his [Brahman Demon True Body] divine skill had been sacrificed and needed to be reconstituted.

While he hadn't yet fully searched the storage rings taken from the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and the purple-robed elder, he knew their contents would more than cover his losses.

He planned to return home, travel to the Great Dream Marsh to achieve Fourth Rank Body Refining, and then prepare for his Nascent Soul breakthrough.

"Very well. We shall part here, then. Take care, Daoist. If you encounter trouble, break this feather; I will perceive it and come to your aid immediately."

Azure Phoenix True Monarch handed a green feather to Lu Changsheng, a token she had refined with her mana over a long period to allow for long-distance sensing.

She added, "Regarding Qing Xuan, I must be honest. My divination techniques are tied to my specific cultivation method and cannot be practiced by others. Therefore, I cannot instruct him in that field."

"However, I have collected several other divination inheritances in the past. If you are interested, you may have them for study."

She handed several jade slips to Lu Changsheng as she spoke.

She was well aware of why Lu Changsheng had sent Lu Qingxuan to her city in the first place.

But her own path was unique to her, and an ordinary person could not even begin to learn it.

"Ordinary people cannot cultivate it..."

Lu Changsheng thought of the high requirements for his own techniques, like the "Yin Yang Creation Classic" or his son’s "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique."

Such powerful paths often demanded specific traits that most lacked.

He nodded understandingly to the Azure Phoenix True Monarch.

"Fate cannot be forced. If Qing Xuan does not have the affinity for it, there is no need for regret. I am grateful for the care you have shown my son over the years."

Lu Changsheng didn't press the issue, instead asking, "How long do you expect to remain in seclusion, and what will happen to Azure Phoenix Immortal City?"

"Perhaps ten years, or as many as thirty to fifty," she replied after some thought. "As for the city..."

"It should be fine as long as I am not there to draw fire. Furthermore, the Poison Dragon Pool Immortal City is a new development; the Heavenly Sword Sect will likely protect it to ensure the stability of the region."

She knew that as long as she wasn't a direct target or in open conflict with the Heavenly Sword Sect, they would keep an eye on the city for the sake of Jiang Country's interests.

"Your fate is a blur that I cannot pierce, but my senses tell me that many Nascent Soul cultivators will soon focus their attention on Jiang Country. If you wish to stay out of trouble, it is best to keep a low profile while acting as Yangming True Master..."

Azure Phoenix True Monarch offered this final warning to Lu Changsheng.

Her own choice to hide was partially driven by a premonition that returning to the city now would bring disaster, leading her to avoid the coming storm.
