Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1935: 505: Goddess Furnace’s Effect, Kunpeng Nest Emerges!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Heavenly Sword Sect.
Sect Master’s Grand Hall.
"The fortune flows vast and unending, signaling prosperity, and it even hints at an upward surge?"
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master remained standing with hands clasped behind, his gaze profound and keen, as though it held a pair of unrivaled blades.
Zhao Mingchou’s update failed to catch him off guard.
Should the conditions at Bi Lake Mountain reveal mere average fortune, that would truly puzzle him, coming as a shock.
"What of Lu Changsheng? What sort of individual is he? Were you able to gauge his true prowess?"
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master pressed further with his questions.
"Sect Master, he possesses a mystical artifact that hides his Qi flow and mana; I couldn’t pierce through it, yet from what I witnessed at Bi Lake Mountain, he’s far more complex than he lets on..."
Zhao Mingchou laid out his insights step by step.
He noted that chances to test Lu Changsheng’s depths were absent at Bi Lake Mountain, leaving him to assess via the Lu family’s fengshui layout and the status of its disciples.
"Understood, I see."
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master gave a nod and signaled for Zhao Mingchou to withdraw, then let out a soft breath while muttering: "Looks like this Lu Changsheng matches my hunch—a favored son carrying the innate blessings and fate of heaven and earth."
"Jiang Country already birthed Azure Phoenix True Monarch, a maiden of destiny, and now along comes Lu Changsheng..."
No single pond can raise a mighty flood dragon.
The emergence of Azure Phoenix True Monarch in Jiang Country was already a marvel.
Spotting another concealed powerhouse like Lu Changsheng now feels utterly illogical.
"With the Great Tribulation looming and a Great Era unfolding alongside, things shouldn’t unfold this way, should they? Might Jiang Country emerge as a key hub in this Great Tribulation?"
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master’s eyes narrowed faintly as thoughts raced through his mind.
Concepts like Great Tribulation, Great Era, and fortune remain hazy and hard to grasp.
Even he had learned of such topics solely from Xuanjian True Monarch.
"I wonder what ties this man shares with the Great Dream City Lord."
On Lu Changsheng’s background, suspicions had lingered in his thoughts for ages.
Zhao Mingchou’s account merely confirmed those doubts.
At present, he yearned to uncover Lu Changsheng’s connection to the Great Dream City Lord and the timing of their entanglement.
Or maybe, this figure serves as a planted agent by the Great Dream City Lord within Jiang Country.
Though the whale hunting feast had fostered amicable bonds between Heavenly Sword Sect and Great Dream Immortal City.
Still, permitting an enigmatic powerhouse with cultivation and battle might rivaling a Nascent Soul cultivator to dwell in Great Dream Immortal City left the Heavenly Sword Sect uneasy at best.
After much deliberation, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master resolved to inform Absolute Sword True Monarch of the issue.
Trivial concerns, of course, warranted no such report to the True Monarch.
Yet Lu Changsheng, holding Core Formation cultivation, had earned entry into the gaze of Nascent Soul True Lords.
Particularly since links to Great Dream Immortal City bound him too!
...
Three months passed.
Bi Lake Mountain.
Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.
"This Goddess Furnace may offer middling effects and lack punch in direct fights, but it ranks as a solid middle-grade spiritual treasure at least."
"In times of peril, it serves perfectly to shield against wondrous divine powers."
Lu Changsheng examined the freshly forged Goddess Furnace in his grasp, giving an approving nod.
Items from the system were bound to excel.
Though the Goddess Furnace’s purpose struck as rather crude, its craftsmanship and materials stood unmatched.
Given Lu Changsheng’s present bodily might, hurling it outright could smash countless cultivators and even maim Nascent Soul True Lords.
"Sumeru."
Lu Changsheng lifted his gaze and uttered softly into the emptiness.
His voice barely faded when a brilliant golden-jade glow cascaded down, shimmering like flowing ribbons.
As the light faded, a form emerged—hair tousled, complexion ashen, clad in shadowy flexible armor that accentuated her elegant contours.
It was Ying’er, seized by Lu Ping’an.
Her mana stood sealed, bound by the Spirit Ring, and though awake for some time, she remained unable to channel her strength or mana.
Ying’er’s starry eyes, gleaming amid the shadows, flicked toward Lu Changsheng briefly before dropping in silence.
Facing Lu Ping’an’s overwhelming power, the restraints upon her, and this endless captivity, she had accepted her plight, aware of her doomed path, hoping only to alert the Holy Maiden via her own death.
Yet in her sealed condition, even ending her life proved impossible.
"Fellow Daoist Ying’er, do you have words you’d like to share at this moment?"
Lu Changsheng gazed down upon Ying’er, his tone cool and detached.
Ying’er, gripped by a fierce resolve to perish, clamped her lips shut and said nothing.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Changsheng snapped his fingers, dispatching a thread of mana toward the Spirit Ring encircling her pale neck.
She jolted as if struck by lightning, letting out a faint gasp, then collapsed limply to the floor like a helpless feline.
"You."
Ying’er’s pallid features softened, her stare toward Lu Changsheng brimming with frosty resentment.
Witnessing her captive state, she bit back her intended retort and stayed still.
Lu Changsheng shook his head inwardly, marveling at how Beast God Mountain’s heritage could mold a Core Formation cultivator into such a loyal death warrior.
Lacking interest in drawn-out interrogations with her, a Jade Furnace shaped like a lounging Goddess materialized in his palm.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
The Goddess Furnace ascended gracefully like a celestial beauty, emanating arcane and splendid rays that rippled outward in mesmerizing waves.
Next, its cover lifted, unleashing a hazy, enchanting mist that swiftly enveloped and drew Ying’er inside the vessel.
"Buzz!"
A subtle hum rang out as the lid sealed shut, the Goddess Furnace glowing with a clear, lustrous sheen before settling back into Lu Changsheng’s hold.
Lu Changsheng channeled his Yin Yang magic power, igniting the desire law embedded in the Goddess Furnace.
Within lay an expansive realm, much like a barren majestic chamber.
As Lu Changsheng triggered the Goddess Furnace, threads of light formed from the desire law rushed in from every side, overwhelming Ying’er—sprawled helpless on the ground—like a surging flood.
"Cave Heaven Treasure!"
Ying’er grasped little of her circumstances, but the sight of the Goddess Furnace and this strange new vista told her she was trapped inside a Cave Heaven Treasure.
