Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1973: 517: Tier 4 Puppet, Heading to the Starry Sky Sea!

Bi Lake Mountain, Bailian Peak.

Beneath the Fire Mulberry Tree, within the sweltering Insect Room.

"It looks like these Iron Fire Ants have hit a bottleneck in their growth."

Lu Chensha gazed upon the countless Iron Fire Ants clustered into blazing crimson spheres, letting out a soft sigh.

He understood that these Iron Fire Ants had indeed encountered a growth limit.

For further advancement, they needed to consume diverse rare metallic ores, while being prompted to slaughter and consume one another.

Such a method proved incredibly demanding on time, vitality, and supplies.

"Yet for my needs, it remains just adequate, provided I avoid facing any Nascent Soul Cultivator; that ought to suffice."

In his mind, Lu Chensha reflected that now with the Iron Fire Ants at Small Achievement, it was time to pursue opportunities for breakthroughs beyond the sect.

Earlier, he had planned to advance to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer before venturing out for tempering.

Yet once he achieved the Sixth Layer, he felt no urgency to depart hastily.

After all, the perks and support from the Lu Family proved rather generous.

Besides managing the family's beast-taming duties, including nurturing the Iron Fire Ants and producing Refining Crystals, he earned extra compensations.

Thus, under these conditions, sporadic hunts within the Black Cloud Mountain Range didn't leave him short on provisions.

However, at present, the Iron Fire Ants, Hui God Worms, and Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spiders had all stalled at growth bottlenecks; depending solely on family supplies and the Demon Beasts from the Black Cloud Mountain Range fell short.

He needed to venture to regions such as the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Azure Phoenix Immortal City, or Great Dream Immortal City to gather ample resources, enabling the Hui God Worms and Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spiders to progress, and laying groundwork for Core Formation.

"Even with the chaos of the Liangyue War, thanks to Azure Phoenix Immortal City's influence, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range likely stays secure."

The exit of Azure Phoenix True Monarch remained privy only to the elite of Azure Phoenix Immortal City and the Four Great Immortal Sects, with few others informed.

Excluding the Heavenly Sword Sect, rival powers hesitated to verify the facts, given Azure Phoenix True Monarch's penchant for early deceptions, frequently spreading misleading intel to bewilder foes.

As a result, Lu Chensha remained oblivious to the current absence of a Nascent Soul True Lord in Azure Phoenix Immortal City.

"Maybe I ought to push to Foundation Establishment Late Stage prior to setting out?"

Mindful of the perils lurking in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Lu Chensha reckoned advancing to Foundation Establishment Late Stage would offer greater safety.

Despite possessing merely a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, by employing Beast Technique to bind the Hui God Worms, Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spiders, and Thousand Legged Centipedes, he achieved a cultivation pace rivaling that of a Superior Grade Spiritual Root.

In this setup, remaining at home to reach Foundation Establishment Late Stage posed little challenge.

"No matter, I'll hold off until I hit the peak of the Sixth Layer..."

Though he might attain Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer while staying put, the hurdle between Sixth and Seventh Layer, even with steady, grinding Cultivation Technique practice, would demand considerable time.

Should his father inquire why he lingered at home in stagnation, the situation would turn rather embarrassing.

Having nourished the Iron Fire Ants, Lu Chensha exited the Insect Room and headed to Bi Shui Lake to inspect the other Spiritual Beasts under the family's care.

"Chensha."

At that moment, a Lu Family disciple approached, informing him that the Lady had called for him.

"Very well, I'll head there right away!"

Hearing this, Lu Chensha refrained from probing further and swiftly soared toward Bi Yun Peak, reaching the Lu Family Mansion.

Inside the hall, he spotted Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun engaged in relaxed conversation.

"Chensha greets Aunt!"

Lu Chensha promptly clasped his hands in respect.

Although Lu Miaoge resided at Bi Lake Mountain, her visits were infrequent, with most affairs delegated to Lu Miaoyun.

Hence, he promptly sensed that an important matter was afoot.

"Chensha, how's your cultivation progressing these days?"

Lu Miaoge regarded Lu Chensha with a warm smile, inquiring casually without any pretense, exuding an approachable vibe.

Lu Chensha responded truthfully.

After learning of his latest developments, Lu Miaoge pressed on: "Are you aware of the recent buzz about the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm in the Great Dream Marsh?"

"I’ve caught wind of it somewhat."

Even though Lu Chensha seldom ventured abroad, he kept tabs on key events.

Primarily, since the Qingyun Sect announced it, numerous Lu Family disciples had been abuzz, so he was naturally in the loop.

That said, he held little interest in this secret realm.

For starters, it permitted entry to False Core Cultivators.

Moreover, his techniques would lose half their potency in the expansive watery expanses of the Great Dream Marsh.

"Senior Red Lotus reached out to me, recommending that you join the expedition to explore the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm."

Lu Miaoge stated plainly.

While Lu Changsheng never compelled such choices, allowing the young ones to decide independently.

But with the secret realm now under the stewardship of Hong Lian and Ling Zixiao.

Hong Lian had specifically selected certain Lu Family disciples to participate.

Not for grand fortunes, but to seize the chance for tempering and expanding their worldview.

Certainly, a key factor was the realm's oversight by allies, minimizing risks of mishaps.

Lu Chensha felt a jolt of surprise learning it stemmed from Senior Hong Lian's suggestion.

Nevertheless, with Lu Miaoge's directive, refusal was out of the question; he at once bowed and replied: "Understood, I'll make preparations without delay."

"Good, no need to hurry on this; soon a Qingyun Spirit Ship will depart for Great Dream Immortal City, so you can board it."

"Incidentally, join Little Qin, Xuanqian, and Qingze; upon reaching Great Dream Immortal City, link up with Sister Wangshu and the rest."

Lu Miaoge spoke with poised elegance, clad in a plain white gown.

"Sister-in-law, Qingze, Xuanqian, Sister Wangshu—they're heading there too?"

Lu Chensha expressed astonishment at the revelation.

"Great Dream Immortal City plans to distribute some rewards then, so strive to shine."

Lu Miaoge offered a bit more encouragement to Lu Chensha, then dismissed him to handle his duties and delegate responsibilities.

....

As word of the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm proliferated and gained momentum, droves of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and False Core Immortals flocked to the Great Dream Marsh.

Seizing the moment, Great Dream Immortal City hosted a series of auctions, filling the air with vibrant energy.
