Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1843: 474: Farewell, Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s Surprise! Return to the Immortal City! (2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
The eyes of Azure Phoenix True Monarch, shining like brilliant stars, narrowed just a bit, emitting an enchanting light.
Inside the Secret Realm, that unexpected act of saving her life, followed by the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Power perfectly aligning with her Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline...
Without the clear awareness that her mind and soul remained untouched, she might have thought this was some plot devised by him.
Deliberately employing such a tactic to desire her Heavenly Phoenix Yin and Nascent Soul Origin.
"Dragon Phoenix Origin..."
Azure Phoenix True Monarch turned her gaze to her Qi Ocean Core.
Lu Changsheng had secured the Dragon Phoenix Origin, yet via their dual cultivation, she too acquired this Origin Qi Mechanism, her Nascent Soul Spirit Body apparently encircled by illusions of Dragon and Phoenix.
In that instant, a faint sensation hit her, so she rested her hand on her lower belly, her fine brows knitting together slightly.
Shortly after, she glanced at the green simurgh nearby and spoke: "Little Qing, let’s go."
With those words spoken, her jade green boots touched down softly, stepping onto the simurgh, her form clad in a splendid green brocade robe, statuesque and lithe, elegant yet alluring, brimming with bold vigor.
"Chirp!"
The simurgh let out a sharp cry, the void tore apart, shifting into a streak of green escape light, and she vanished in a flash.
At the same time, a thunderous crash echoed as the mountain cave in the rear caved in right then, crumbling into a heap of debris.
...
The world whirled around, space twisted and shifted.
In Great Dream Immortal City, at the City Lord Mansion.
A wave rippled through the void, then it cracked open, and Lu Changsheng appeared, enveloped in vibrant glows.
"Huff huff huff..."
Despite Lu Changsheng's robust build, poised to advance to Fourth Rank at any time, using the [Michen Banner] to leap from the Endless Wilderness straight back to Jiang Country's Great Dream Immortal City in a blink, it still drained him heavily, causing a rush of Qi and blood that left him reeling and faint.
After catching his breath for a bit, Lu Changsheng steadied himself.
"Crossing the void like this still feels strange; no surprise Hong Lian mentioned that fresh Nascent Soul Cultivators can't traverse it at will."
Lu Changsheng massaged his forehead and let out a long sigh.
Yet, upon spotting the well-known surroundings, a wave of relaxation washed over his heart.
Wherever one roams, nothing beats coming back home.
"My Lord, you're back?"
Just then, Ling Zixiao hurried over, dressed in a flowing blue palace gown, her hair neatly arranged, her lovely eyes fixed on the dashing Lu Changsheng in his green robe.
She was aware that Lu Changsheng had merged the two sub-banners of the Michen Banner into the earth veins beneath Bi Lake Mountain and the City Lord Mansion.
So, detecting the recognizable spatial disturbance and the array's alert, she realized Lu Changsheng had come back.
"Zixiao."
Lu Changsheng regarded his refined and stunning wife, her bright eyes gleaming, her allure tugging at his soul, and he smiled while clasping her hand.
"Did My Lord's task go well?"
Ling Zixiao saw Lu Changsheng's cheerful demeanor and asked with a soft smile.
"Task?"
Those words jogged Lu Changsheng's memory that his journey's key goal had been locating his son, Lu Ping’an.
His boy remained in a coma, kept safe inside the Tianyuan Lotus by him.
"Yes, it's done."
Lu Changsheng gave a firm nod.
With a mental command, the Tianyuan Lotus floated out from his Qi Ocean Core, then a burst of brilliant light shone, spatial waves stirred, and a sturdy, handsome youth with eyes shut materialized.
Even in unconsciousness, his healthy color and even breaths showed he was in fine shape.
This made sense.
Though Lu Ping’an had suffered grave wounds, his Qi-Blood and Magic Power locked by Lou Mountain True Monarch, the worst damage stemmed from the [Taiyin Mysterious Light]'s strike.
If Lu Changsheng hadn't been occupied and simply tucked Lu Ping’an into the Tianyuan Lotus out of fear he'd wake midway and disrupt the Treasure Lotus Cave Heaven, thus complicating things for himself, plus resealing him, given Lu Ping’an’s tough body, the Wild Dragon Spine, and the Spirit Void Rejuvenation Pill, he would probably have roused by now.
"This is... what happened to Ping’an?"
Ling Zixiao quickly identified Lu Ping’an standing there, her eyes widening in shock as she asked, not knowing Lu Changsheng's outing was to rescue him.
"Before, I felt Ping’an in peril far away, so I used the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] this time to track him down."
"His state now is all sorted, merely asleep for the moment."
Lu Changsheng clarified, gripping his son's hand, channeling Yin Yang Magic Power to release the seals on his form, then applying Healing Divine Light over him.
A short while passed.
Lu Ping’an’s Qi-Blood and Magic Power surged forth like a mighty torrent, his body naturally extending arms and legs.
His meridians and skeleton crackled like bursting kernels.
Furthermore, a subtle haze of Qi-Blood and Magic Power lingered around him.
"What is this..."
Even as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Ling Zixiao's broad learning let her spot the oddity in Lu Ping’an’s Qi-Blood and Magic Power right away.
He'd gone beyond Foundation Establishment, achieving Core Formation!
"This!"
She clearly remembered, when she and Lu Changsheng first came back to Qingzhu Mountain years prior, soon after Lu Ping’an was fetched from the mortal realm to Qingzhu Mountain by Lu Changsheng.
Back then, Lu Ping’an lacked any cultivation base, just training in martial arts; even the Qi Refinement method was passed on and supervised by her.
Yet now, he'd evolved from a cultivation-less youth into a Nascent Soul Immortal.
What's more, from the Qi-Blood signs, Lu Ping’an hadn't just forced Core Formation through Magic Power alone; his body and Qi-Blood had also exceeded Third Rank.
Ling Zixiao felt astonished, burning to learn his training path or how much effort her husband had poured into Lu Ping’an.
Without that, reaching such levels in mere decades with his aptitude and insight seemed out of reach.
"Father... Aunt....."
After about fifteen minutes, Lu Ping’an stirred as from a dream, his eyes fluttering open to behold Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao, his throat rough as he murmured.
