Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1881: 486: Chaos Wanxiang, Shocking the Entire Hall!

Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Lu Changsheng completed trades for rare treasures, including the Fourth Rank Soul Nourishing Wood, while his incarnation as Changsheng True Master exchanged top-level Third Rank Talismans for elixirs, spiritual objects, and demon pills, astonishing fellow cultivators with his prodigious skills. As the banquet shifted to private dealings and farewells, Lu Changsheng confronted a departing guest, the Star Hiding Hermit, exposing him as a Shadow Sect infiltrator from the Demon Path. When the hermit attempted to flee, Lu Changsheng unleashed his Chaos Wanxiang divine ability, enveloping the hall in primordial chaos and suppressing the Peak Core Formation cultivator with overwhelming force, leaving him bloodied and immobilized amid the shocked assembly.

Silence!

Stillness!

Suddenly, the vast hall fell into complete hush, so silent you could hear a pin dropping!

Excluding Hong Lian and Absolute Sword True Monarch, every cultivator there gazed at Lu Changsheng with faces full of astonishment and doubt, deeming it utterly unbelievable, sending chills across their scalps.

Was it truly settled?

Earlier, none of them had detected the Star Hiding Hermit's disguise, and only moments ago had he unleashed his Peak Core Formation cultivation and spells, yet the Dream City Master overpowered him outright, leaving him utterly defenseless.

"Clatter——"

Right then, Hong Lian unleashed the Demon Binding Lock, securing the Star Hiding Hermit firmly as he spat blood and lay immobilized under the anomaly's pressure.

In the next moment, the chaos faded away, and clarity returned to the world.

Everyone turned their eyes to the Great Dream City Lord positioned high in the hall.

Though he remained poised and striking, an aura of overwhelming power and majesty now surrounded him, resembling a supreme ruler transcending the ordinary, urging all to bow before him.

"Is this the real form of the Great Dream City Lord?"

"His earlier poise and words were so mild and cultured, I figured he was a benevolent elder, yet I never imagined..."

"This Great Dream City Lord has surely advanced to Nascent Soul!"

The gathered cultivators kept gasping in surprise, deeply shaken to their souls.

Despite prior guesses that the Great Dream City Lord might be a Nascent Soul expert, seeing it with their own eyes proved difficult to accept.

"Is this... a body cultivation divine skill?"

As a Nascent Soul cultivator himself, Absolute Sword True Monarch identified it as a technique tied to body cultivation.

"From the reports, this Great Dream City Lord follows the path of magical dual cultivation, so he's not a Third Rank body refiner, but perhaps a Fourth Rank body cultivator?"

Even Absolute Sword True Monarch found Lu Changsheng's circumstances staggering.

In the world of Cultivation, while Fourth Rank magical dual cultivators exist in fair numbers, they remain uncommon.

As for achieving Fourth Rank body refining while still at Core Formation, that was something Absolute Sword True Monarch hadn't even contemplated.

After all, in dual cultivation paths, reaching Fourth Rank body refining prior to Nascent Soul breakthrough defies all logic.

"Yet from initial reports, this man's power didn't match that of a Nascent Soul True Lord... maybe he's recovering from injuries while concealing himself in Great Dream Immortal City?"

Absolute Sword True Monarch pondered in confusion, struggling to grasp Lu Changsheng's true state.

"Still, with this degree of might and the refined bearing shown earlier, he has to be a Nascent Soul cultivator without question."

"Even his spouse is a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Absolute Sword True Monarch mused inwardly.

No matter what, with combat strength rivaling Nascent Soul, their Heavenly Sword Sect needed to treat him with utmost caution!

"Well done, Daoist."

He directed his gaze toward Lu Changsheng atop the hall and offered commendation.

Though he himself could have ended it with a single sword strike.

Yet there was no denying the impressive nature of Lu Changsheng's approach, as he quelled a Peak Core Formation expert from the Shadow Sect effortlessly, relying solely on anomalies without direct action.

"You’re too kind, Daoist."

Lu Changsheng gave a soft laugh, calm and composed, as though he'd handled nothing more than a minor issue.

However, observing the stunned reactions from the hall's cultivators, he felt quite satisfied with how his divine skills had performed.

"The Shadow Sect’s techniques for disguise and concealment are remarkably skilled; how did you spot it, Daoist?"

Absolute Sword True Monarch turned to Lu Changsheng with the question.

The Shadow Sect excels in assassination, evasion, hiding, and impersonation.

Without the Star Hiding Hermit unleashing his full power just now, even he might not have uncovered the truth.

"Back in my early days managing the Immortal City, I purged some hidden small dangers, including a Shadow Sect cultivator, so I recalled that magical aura."

Lu Changsheng answered offhandedly.

Yet these remarks stunned the hall's cultivators into complete awe and incredulity.

The Immortal City had undergone a purge before?

To detect the Shadow Sect's flawless disguise merely from a magical aura remembered from years past?

If Shadow Sect disguises were that simple to expose, they couldn't possibly sneak into and undermine numerous cultivation nations, collect secrets, or even eliminate and topple cultivators and factions from rival lands.
