Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1947: 508: Kunpeng Demon Technique, Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale Advances to Stage 4!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
In his younger days, he had already gained knowledge of the Demonic Seven Sects.
Groups such as the Immortal Lotus Sect, Blood Sea Sect, and Netherworld Ghost Sect held zero ties to his "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique".
Thus, from the leftover choices among the Demonic Sect, Myriad Beasts Demon Sect, and Azure Sky Demon Sect, he selected the one with the greatest renown, the Demonic Sect.
Whether or not he could actually fool them remained a separate issue.
Considering his present circumstances, he believed he possessed a reasonable level of trustworthiness.
"Demonic Sect!?"
Shi Hai and Wugu Old Demon shared a quick look with each other.
Even though the Starry Sky Sea lies distant from the heart of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, it stays connected to the broader world.
As Nascent Soul True Lords, they had certainly come across tales of the Demonic Sect, one of the premier powers in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm!
The Lu Quanzhen standing before them would rank at least as a True Inheritor inside the Demonic Sect.
If they slew him rashly, it might invite serious repercussions once the Demonic Sect discovered the truth.
"Daoist Wugu, does the Demonic Sect hold the 'Kunpeng Demon Technique'?"
Shi Hai inquired of Wugu Old Demon.
"Given its status as a leading Demonic Sect power in the Southern Wilderness, it's probable they've gathered the well-known Kunpeng Demon Technique."
Wugu Old Demon replied, his tone carrying a hint of doubt.
After pondering briefly, they turned their gaze toward Lu Quanzhen nearby and asked, "Since you're from the Demonic Sect, what brings you to the Starry Sky Sea?"
"Following my breakthrough to Core Formation, my master directed me to head to the Starry Sky Sea for tempering, mentioning possible fortunes awaiting me. Upon learning of the Kunpeng Nest's emergence, I decided to investigate."
Lu Quanzhen responded steadily.
Judging by their faces, it appeared his explanation had convinced them.
Regardless, he absolutely could not reveal any weaknesses right now.
"In that case, it looks like you could be familiar with the 'Kunpeng Demon Technique' and the Kunpeng Nest."
Shi Hai regarded Lu Quanzhen and spoke evenly.
From the earlier events, Lu Quanzhen had already realized they were zeroing in on him because of his cultivation technique.
He gave a wry smile while shaking his head and explained, "My master didn't go into specifics, only hinting at potential chances for me in this place. I suspected it linked to the fabled Kunpeng Nest, yet over time, every report turned out to be misleading."
"Though the Kunpeng Nest has surfaced now, my power level doesn't allow entry, so I'm awaiting word from my master."
Lu Quanzhen replied courteously, once more alluding to his enigmatic master.
"Very well, then allow me to inform you: the 'Kunpeng Demon Technique' that you practice originated from the Kunpeng Nest three thousand years prior, tied to the central fortune of a hidden realm."
"Yet this method proves incredibly tough to refine, defying the laws of nature. It sparked a storm of bloodshed in those days before fading into obscurity, with just fragments surviving."
"Having refined and grasped this technique, venturing into the hidden realm could let you claim its primary fortunes."
Shi Hai eyed Lu Quanzhen and declared in a steady tone.
Although he displayed little intimidation, Lu Quanzhen sensed this individual posed a greater threat than Wugu Old Demon.
"I wouldn't dare to claim such fortunes or treasures. If you two seniors desire them, I'm prepared to join you in exploring the hidden realm, though its perils are immense..."
Lu Quanzhen understood the pair in front of him had forged a pact for joint action, and hoping for them to clash fiercely was unrealistic.
In this scenario, invoking the Demonic Sect or his elusive master's sway wouldn't help.
He had no choice but to leverage his own usefulness and devise a path to survival under their watch.
"Haha, you're truly perceptive. With Daoist Wugu and me present, you needn't worry—upon securing the fortune, we'll ensure you get your portion as well."
Shi Hai chuckled, clearly pleased by Lu Quanzhen's shrewdness.
The Kunpeng Nest unlocks merely once every few millennia.
With an opportunity to access the hidden realm's vital fortune at hand, even risking the Demonic Sect's ire made it worthwhile.
"Young friend, here's a magical treasure I crafted long ago, the [Black Spirit Ring]. It offers shielding and defense—slip it on for safety's sake."
At that moment, Wugu Old Demon lifted his hand faintly, revealing a bone ring gleaming with shadowy sheen, which drifted toward Lu Quanzhen.
"..."
Gazing at the ring in front of him, Lu Quanzhen inwardly wondered if it served for safeguarding or restraint, yet he still offered cupped hands in gratitude.
Nearby, Shi Hai also retrieved a magical treasure from his storage ring and handed it over to Lu Quanzhen.
Afterward, the duo guided Lu Quanzhen toward the Kunpeng Nest.
As Lu Quanzhen scaled the Kunpeng Nest's cliff, the "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique" activated on its own, naturally drawing in the swirling chaos qi essence.
Witnessing this, Shi Hai and Wugu Old Demon grew even more certain that Lu Quanzhen could guide them to the core fortune.
...
Three months afterward.
Great Dream Immortal City.
Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian had each finished refining the [Thunder Transformation Umbrella] and [Beast Spirit Bone Melt Pill].
At this juncture, Ling Zixiao informed Lu Changsheng that Yan Lan had reached Great Dream Immortal City, readying herself for a False Core breakthrough.
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng went to meet her.
Despite her thorough preparations, the actual moment still filled her with some anxiety.
To counter this, Lu Changsheng employed the Dual Cultivation Technique to soothe her tensions and hurdles.
Furthermore, he assisted in selecting a premium Core Formation Spiritual Object from the Great Dream Immortal City Treasure Vault.
Armed with a Third Rank Demon Pill and a superior Core Formation Spiritual Object, barring a truly dismal effort, her False Core formation seemed guaranteed.
Overwhelmed by Lu Changsheng's lavish support, Yan Lan felt profound thanks and shed emotional tears.
Three days on, Yan Lan settled into a serene mindset adjustment.
Lu Changsheng chose not to linger as a guardian in the cave mansion.
Forming a False Core proceeds a bit quicker than a True Elixir, yet demands several months still.
Should Yan Lan's preparation extend excessively, it could stretch beyond half a year.
Besides, his divination revealed Yan Lan's advancement as highly favorable, promising strong odds of triumph.
"Zi Xiao."
Lu Changsheng made his way back to the City Lord Mansion, instructing Ling Zixiao to alert him immediately should any issue arise.
Then, alongside Hong Lian, he summoned the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and Soul-calling Beast, venturing deep into the Great Dream Marsh to aid the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale in ascending to Fourth Rank!
...
The site for the breakthrough remained the Sea Eye linking the Great Dream Marsh to the Starry Sky Sea.
It had to be acknowledged that slaying the [Deep Sea Demon Whale King] alongside the Meng Wuheng pair proved a wise decision.
While Demon Beast advancements require less from a Spirit Vein compared to cultivators, certain demands persist.
Lacking this Sea Eye, he would have expended considerable time and labor seeking an unoccupied Quasi-Fourth Rank Spirit Vein elsewhere for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's advancement.
"It appears no Demon King would dare claim this Sea Eye anymore."
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, fresh from its bloodline evolution, surged through the waters with unmatched velocity.
In just half a month, it journeyed from Mengxi Island straight to the Sea Eye.
Yet this Sea Eye, stained by numerous fallen Demon Kings, carried an ill omen, deterring any Demon King from approaching.
"Big Black... it overcame the True Spirit Tribulation here in its youth, and my husband felled multiple Third Rank Top Level Demon Kings. The surviving Demon Kings detect Big Black's lingering qi aura and steer clear."
Hong Lian, clad in her crimson imperial gown embroidered with golden threads, stood gracefully and unmatched at Lu Changsheng's side, radiating a divine aura like immortal lovers, and murmured gently.
Even uttering the name Big Black felt odd to her still.
After all, what ordinary person would bestow such a moniker on a Spiritual Pet bearing True Spirit Bloodline...
"Having none around is ideal."
Lu Changsheng gave a light chuckle, unconcerned, and signaled to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, "Proceed."
En route to this spot, he had divined the breakthrough setup for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
The omens pointed to success once more.
Hence, he felt completely at ease.
And thus, two months elapsed.
"Splash—"
Suddenly one day, the tranquil Great Dream Marsh erupted into turmoil.
The ocean waters appeared churned by some unseen colossal force, birthing countless small whirlpools.
As hundreds of these whirlpools materialized, they brimmed with vast might, spinning wildly and merging, unleashing a thunderous din—like the sea stifling a savage cry, or an primordial beast stirring from slumber deep below.
Lu Changsheng's gaze flashed with golden light, perceiving a formidable quasi-fourth rank demon qi erupting from the ocean floor, devouring every trace of Spiritual Energy in the vicinity.
Lu Changsheng recognized that the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale had commenced its rise to Fourth Rank!
