Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1864: 481: The Five Venoms Sect Hierarch’s Shock!

Bi Lake Mountain.

Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.

"Husband."

Even after learning from the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] that the danger at White Tiger Mountain was over, Lu Miaoyun moved closer to inspect things upon seeing Lu Changsheng.

"Don't worry, everything's been taken care of."

Gently taking his wife's soft hand in his, Lu Changsheng spoke in a calm voice, outlining the main events to her.

Lu Miaoyun felt stunned upon discovering that the attackers originated from Liang Country, the mighty overlord force next to Yue Country.

"Husband, we ought to inform the Qingyun Sect about this."

Though Lu Miaoyun sensed their clan could manage it alone, she deemed it wiser to alert the Qingyun Sect, allowing them to pass word to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"No need. If the Qingyun Sect inquires, simply claim an unidentified rogue cultivator attempted to capture Jiuyou, and Ping’an arrived swiftly to repel the intruder."

Lu Changsheng intended to leverage Ying’er against Beast God Mountain, so reporting to the Qingyun Sect was out of the question.

Besides, alerting the Qingyun Sect could invite needless complications once the Heavenly Sword Sect began probing.

"Alright."

Upon hearing her husband's explanation, Lu Miaoyun eased up and dropped the subject.

"Xumi, watch over her for the moment."

With a light wave of his hand, Lu Changsheng summoned the still-unconscious Ying’er and passed her to the Mount Sumeru Tree King.

Theoretically, after the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s magical form got severed, Beast God Mountain’s top Supreme Elder, Nine Spirits True Monarch, wouldn’t venture into Jiang Country just for a single Core Formation subordinate.

Still, out of caution, Lu Changsheng avoided placing Ying’er directly beneath the Mount Sumeru Tree King.

Instead, by means of the token she carried or the mana link from Beast God Mountain, they might try to lure others in; should anyone from Beast God Mountain show up, Xumi could trap anyone short of Nascent Soul within Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.

"Xumi’s development remains too limited."

Gazing at the Mount Sumeru Tree King in front of him, Lu Changsheng let out a quiet sigh.

Back in the early days, Xumi dominated all foes below Nascent Soul, acting as the family’s ultimate guardian.

Yet as years passed and Lu Changsheng faced more Nascent Soul cultivators and factions, Xumi’s edge against those under Nascent Soul started to fall short.

"The biggest hurdle to advancing Xumi to Fourth Rank lies in the spiritual veins..."

For the Mount Sumeru Tree King to reach Fourth Rank on its own, it could span tens of thousands of years.

Even with the [Myriad Spirits Bottle] at his disposal, Lu Changsheng found pushing it to Fourth Rank extremely tough.

The sole path forward involved drawing nourishment from an inner world to spur fast advancement.

However, Lu Changsheng himself didn’t have a Fourth Rank spiritual site for his Nascent Soul advancement, much less the means to upgrade Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven’s spiritual veins to that level.

"When troubles arise, solutions will emerge. Elevating the [Dragon Seeking Art] further might yield an answer."

Though Meng Wuheng had warned that a Fourth Rank spiritual vein embodied a region’s fortune.

Destroying it to claim the core would surely provoke fortune’s rebound, drawing endless calamity.

Yet the Cultivation World brimmed with techniques; even the Second Rank Dragon Seeking Art could probe heaven and earth’s spiritual flows to claim veins. At Fourth Rank, it might enable shifting mountains or relocating the sun, even transplanting spiritual veins.

Moreover, given Lu Changsheng’s present divine abilities and mana reserves, he could now shift minor First Grade or Second Grade spiritual veins outright, without the gradual origin extraction of his earlier days.

That said, such actions stirred massive disturbances, triggering landslides and disrupting heaven and earth’s spiritual links at the old vein sites.

"Qingyun Sect, Jinyang Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect—these sects clearly have shifted spiritual veins. Without that, how else could they amass such expansive spiritual territories through mere natural growth."

Lu Changsheng had toured the Qingyun Sect, Jinyang Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect.

Beyond their main peaks, they boasted numerous Third Rank offshoots.

Depending solely on spiritual vein evolution and Spiritual Origin Pearl nurturing, the time and rare resources required would be immense.

Thus, they almost certainly wielded ways to boost their spiritual grounds.

....

Once Ying’er was left under Xumi’s watch, Lu Changsheng headed back to the Qingyun Sect to see Zhao Qingqing.

A year prior, she had come back from the battlefront, and with her growing role in the sect, reaching late Foundation Establishment would elevate her to Outer Elder.

Given Lu Changsheng’s abundant resources, aiding her shift from mid to late Foundation Establishment proved simple.

That being said, since a Second Grade High Grade Breakthrough Elixir for late-stage entry might hinder her future Core Formation and nearly seal her pill-forming path, Lu Changsheng chose dual cultivation to refine her mana instead.

Several days afterward, having bonded more deeply with Zhao Qingqing, Lu Changsheng brought her along to Bi Lake Mountain to meet their son, Lu Qingyue.

This child, bolstered by the [Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine] and [Six-eyed Bodhi Seed], had forged a flawless Dao foundation, ranking among the Lu Family’s top young prodigies.

"Father, Mother."

Lu Qingyue, bearer of the Green Wood Body and practitioner of the "Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture," kept a youthful look despite his skill in preservation arts; clad in a verdant robe, he radiated poise and vitality, bearing a striking resemblance to Lu Changsheng.

"Mmm."

Lu Changsheng and Zhao Qingqing asked after their son’s progress and plans.

"I’ve made solid headway in my arts, and I wish to head out for some real-world tempering..."

Lu Qingyue looked toward his parents before voicing his thoughts.

While the "Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture" focused on pill-making, planting, and wellness cultivation, few cultivators stayed cooped up forever—they all yearned to explore, chase chances and lucky breaks to leap forward.

"Very well, then go to Qingxuan Mountain and join your brother Qingxuan and the rest for training; ease into it there."

Lu Changsheng never blocked his children from seeking outer experiences—in fact, he urged them on.

After all, only through venturing abroad could they mature swiftly, particularly these gifted offspring.

"Yue’er only just entered Foundation Establishment and hasn’t traveled afar before. Wouldn’t the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range prove too perilous? Maybe he should hone his skills in the Qingyun Domain a while first?"

Since the border conflict began, Zhao Qingqing had guarded the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, beholding countless fatalities.
