Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1958: 512: Demon Fetus Parasitism, Yan Lan Breaks Through! (Double - )
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Accompanied by Shi Hai True Monarch and Xuan Gu Old Demon, Lu Quanzhen advanced onward until they reached the entrance of a grand ancient den that mirrored the form of a Kunpeng.
Brilliant and eye-catching light burst forth from this ancient den, sometimes glowing fully in gold like a sacred roc that stretched across the stars and dominated the nine skies; other times appearing as an enormous Kun, completely dark, plunging into the endless ocean and enveloped in turmoil.
"Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique!?"
Ripples emanated from the golden ancient den in front of Lu Quanzhen, as though it was formed by runes shaped like a Kunpeng.
Although these runes were unknown to him, an odd feeling of recognition stirred within.
The cultivation technique he cultivated seemed like an interpretation of these runes, creating a strange connection between them.
"It’s rumored that the treasure bones of certain top-level bloodlines of the Demon Race and true feathers are imprinted with talismanic scripts depicting the most primal cultivation techniques. Many cultivation techniques and divine abilities of the Human Race cultivators are derived from comprehending these imprints through the patterns of flowers, birds, beasts, dragon verses, and phoenix seals."
"It seems the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ taught by my uncle is related to the Kunpeng before us."
A flash of insight struck Lu Quanzhen, who became absorbed in studying the enormous nest, where runes shifted from gold to utter blackness, taking on the likeness of a Kunpeng.
Yet in that instant, a terrifying and icy aura crashed down on him. His complexion drained of color, and his qi and blood magical power churned wildly. The cultivation technique tried to activate by itself, but his mana moved sluggishly, leaving his arms and legs chilled and without strength.His eyes snapped open to reveal eighteen spectral soul maidens, each grasping ceremonial fans, baskets, and simple cloths, serving around an opulent throne embedded with gold and jade, from which translucent curtains dangled.
Beyond the curtains woven with multiple layers of phantom silhouettes, a slim and captivating silhouette crowned with elaborate gems could be faintly seen.
The crushing weight bearing down on him originated from the throne's occupant!
"Who is this person?"
Shock gripped Lu Quanzhen's mind.
Everyone knew the Kunpeng Nest drew not just countless cultivators hunting for fortunes but also hordes of savage sea beasts.
Without the protection of Shi Hai True Monarch and Wugu Old Demon, his own power wouldn't have sufficed to arrive here.
Nevertheless, the throne's master boldly exhibited such splendor inside the Secret Realm.
Furthermore, he couldn't perceive the depths of any among the eighteen ghostly soul maidens at first sight, judging that every one's cultivation and magical power matched or exceeded his!
Just then, Shi Hai True Monarch moved ahead, positioning himself in front of Lu Quanzhen, and saluted the throne with cupped hands, "I wonder how my young disciple offended the Demon Consort?"
"Demon Consort! This person is the former ruler of the White Bone Palace, the Six Paths Demon Consort!?"
With Shi Hai True Monarch taking the lead, Lu Quanzhen experienced a wave of relief, some warmth returning to his features. He pieced together the identity of the throne's possessor.
The foremost demon cultivator of the Starry Sky Sea, the Dao Companion of the Six Paths Demon Lord, the prior master of the White Bone Palace, the Six Paths Demon Consort!
Lu Quanzhen's spirit grew taut, puzzled as to why this Six Paths Demon Consort had singled him out.
"Young disciple? I don’t remember you, Shi Hai, having such a disciple?"
A languid and nonchalant tone, yet tender and enticing, drifted from the throne.
"The Demon Consort, preoccupied with numerous matters, might not be aware. This young friend was recently taken in as a registered disciple by Daoist Shi Hai."
Since Lu Quanzhen's role was vital to their prospects, Wugu Old Demon nearby also advanced to offer clarification.
"Interesting, I didn’t expect you, Shi Hai, not only to have taken in a disciple practicing demonic techniques, but also to be mingling with Wugu."
The Six Paths Demon Consort let out a light laugh, her alluring voice seeping into the bones, stirring unwanted fantasies.
Certain Nascent Soul True Lords encircling the ancient nest turned their gazes toward Shi Hai and Wugu Old Demon upon hearing this, scrutinizing Lu Quanzhen.
Suddenly, Lu Quanzhen sensed himself being examined completely, while the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique activated on instinct.
"Heh, it turns out to be the Kunpeng Demon Technique."
"A successor of the Kunpeng Demon Technique, Daoist Shi Hai, why conceal it so cautiously."
"No, this kid’s Kunpeng Demon Technique is unusual."
The gathered cultivators, whether Nascent Soul True Lords, Transformed Demon Kings, or those escorted into the Secret Realm by Nascent Soul cultivators or Transformed Demon Kings, were all far from commonplace.
As a result, the nature of Lu Quanzhen's Kunpeng Demon Technique was quickly identified by those on hand.
Particular cultivators, such as Wugu Old Demon with his deep knowledge of demonic techniques, noticed that Lu Quanzhen's version of the Kunpeng Demon Technique stood out as exceptional.
"Since you are a successor of the Kunpeng Demon Technique, go ahead and see if you can open this nest."
The words from the Six Paths Demon Consort, hidden behind the translucent curtains, echoed forth.
The link between the Kunpeng Demon Technique and the Kunpeng Nest held no secrets for the elite cultivators of the Starry Sky Sea.
During this event, as the Kunpeng Nest appeared, various parties had eagerly searched for those versed in the Kunpeng Demon Technique, aiming to employ them in accessing the Secret Realm's central treasures.
Certain factions had even deliberately raised cultivators specializing in the Kunpeng Demon Technique, biding their time for the Secret Realm's activation.
Shi Hai True Monarch and Wugu Old Demon shared a look, realizing that under these circumstances, they couldn't monopolize the chance.
Besides, it remained uncertain if Lu Quanzhen's Kunpeng Demon Technique could truly unlock the ancient den ahead.
"Young friend, go ahead without worry. I and Daoist Shi Hai will be watching over you."
Deep respect filled Wugu Old Demon's voice toward the Six Paths Demon Consort as he addressed Lu Quanzhen gravely.
Faced with this scenario, Lu Quanzhen had little option but to move closer and inspect the ancient den.
He noticed several cultivators, akin to Wugu Old Demon, who had trained in partial techniques, channeling mana into the den, while others grabbed the moment to study the runes atop it, promptly copying their forms.
"Buzz!"
The moment he poured his mana in, the ancient den flared with a mix of golden and deep black glow.
"Hmm!?"
Right away, multiple cultivators present fixed their attention on Lu Quanzhen, eyes narrowing slightly as a surge of excitement rose among them.
