Furthermore, my esteemed martial uncle is soft-tempered and benevolent, hence no one ought to entertain notions of the powerful bullying the weak in front of her.
"You need to tend to your injuries carefully. Later, I’ll go meet this Xuanmu Taoist."
Shen Yiren gently took hold of Qin Yunning’s wrist, her voice tender and soothing.
In contrast to her two sisters, she cultivated a Nourishing Life Technique, showing remarkable proficiency in the arts of recovery.
She figured that this Xuanmu Taoist was probably a healer who also followed a Nourishing Life Technique, prompting her to plan a visit to thank him for his aid and uncover his background.
"Thank you, martial uncle."
Aware of her martial uncle’s character, Qin Yunning replied with sincere respect.
...
"So this is the Penglai Immortal City?"
Ten days had passed when Lu Changsheng peered ahead, marveling aloud at the Immortal City that floated like a gleaming jewel amid swirling clouds.
Undoubtedly, the Penglai Immortal City that lay before him was exceptionally grand, surpassing even his own Great Dream Immortal City, the Azure Phoenix Immortal City under the Azure Phoenix True Monarch, and the Jiuxiao Immortal City belonging to the Heavenly Sword Sect in splendor.
The entire structure of the city walls appeared forged from pure jade, shimmering with brilliant hues beneath the sunlight.
As a Third Rank Top Level Formation Master and a Second Rank Dragon Seeker, Lu Changsheng quickly discerned that Penglai Immortal City ranked as a Fourth Rank Immortal City, fortified by a Fourth-tier Forbidden Array.
"If it weren’t for the astonishing nature of a Heavenly Nascent Soul, one could rent a cave mansion here to attempt advancing to a Nascent Soul, as long as they were willing to pay the price."
Lu Changsheng mused inwardly while staring at the Penglai Immortal City in the distance.
That said, beyond the Heavenly Nascent Soul, even striving for an Earth Dao Nascent Soul demands tapping into the Earth Veins' power from the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, which stirs up chaos that disrupts cultivation for everyone nearby.
For this reason, securing a cave mansion in a Fourth Rank Immortal City for an Earth Dao Nascent Soul breakthrough is remarkably difficult, except for those ready to fork over a massive sum.
Without delay, Lu Changsheng released a subtle but noticeable Core Formation Spirit Pressure as he proceeded onward.
Despite the throng of cultivators queuing at the Immortal City gates for entry and departure.
High-status Core Formation cultivators enjoy special rights wherever they go.
Under the admiring, reverent, and jealous looks from numerous cultivators, Lu Changsheng was promptly directed by the guards to the exclusive path for elite cultivators.
As it marked his initial visit, he required an identity token, leading him to provide the name "Xuanmu Taoist."
Once inside Penglai Immortal City, beyond the somewhat elevated standard of its inhabitants, nothing else truly caught the eye.
Lu Changsheng found lodging at an inn, learned the basics about the Immortal City, then strolled about casually, collecting details on the Kunpeng Nest, scouting for essential Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials, and awaiting contact from the Goddess Palace.
...
At the same time.
Deep within the ocean, a massive egg adorned with weaving golden glows and obscure shadowy motifs pulsed with a faint presence.
Any demon beast that drew near would trigger the egg’s patterns to swirl and merge, creating a dark vortex that gradually swallowed the creature whole.
"Damn it, at this pace, it will still hatch..."
Having possessed a juvenile Kunpeng, Lu Quanzhen had tricked it into dominating the Kunpeng giant egg, then triggered the teleportation array to flee the Kunpeng Nest Secret Realm.
Yet presently, no matter his words, the juvenile Kunpeng refused to trust him, determined only to hatch swiftly and eradicate him.
He could wrest control again and further hinder the juvenile Kunpeng, but he lacked the endurance to persist, managing merely to postpone the inevitable slightly.
"This Kunpeng giant egg blocks Heavenly Secrets calculations; I wonder if my father can locate me..."
"If things turn truly dire, I should just dispatch these treasures outward."
Through their odd symbiotic bond, Lu Quanzhen understood that the Kunpeng giant egg possessed the power to obstruct and sever Heavenly Secrets calculations.
In this scenario, even with his father’s bloodline detection methods, tracking him down would prove exceedingly tough.
Over these recent days, he had attempted endless methods to escape.
However, trapped in a Demon Fetus Parasite state, he found himself unable to crack open the Kunpeng giant egg.
Furthermore, relinquishing the parasite and dissolving the Demon Fetus Parasite Technique would leave him in dire frailty.
During that vulnerable phase, the juvenile Kunpeng could strike against him with ease.
Consequently, he resolved that should the juvenile Kunpeng hatch for real, he would battle fiercely, transmitting the treasures he had gained along with the Sun and Moon Token as his ultimate offering to the family.
After all, his discoveries in the Kunpeng Nest had yielded substantial rewards.
Particularly the bone talisman and porcelain bottle he had grabbed from the Kunpeng Altar!
In these days, he had stripped himself of every usable item for potential escape, encompassing the bone talisman and porcelain bottle obtained from the Kunpeng Nest Altar.
The bone talisman seemed to be some sort of Fourth Rank Talisman Treasure, but regrettably, in his present condition, activation eluded him.
The porcelain bottle was undoubtedly the fabled Empty Cyan Bottle.
It had the capacity to preserve Elixir Medicines, maintaining their potency for a thousand years or even ten thousand.
Apart from the two prizes he secured, the treasures seized from other demonic inheritors’ altars now resided inside the Kunpeng giant egg.
He could perhaps attempt to send a couple of these items away.
Though bracing for the worst outcome, Lu Quanzhen refused to surrender, using the juvenile Kunpeng to study the "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique" and "Demon Fetus Parasite Technique."
In hopes of discovering an escape route via these Cultivation Techniques.
....
Demonic Sect.
"There’s news of a Kunpeng egg appearing in the Starry Sky Sea? Someone has comprehended the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’?"
On that day, while the Heavenly Demon Sect Master managed sect matters, he was greatly taken aback upon encountering such intelligence.
Not just startled by the Kunpeng egg’s appearance, but also by the fact that an individual had genuinely comprehended the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique.’
This Cultivation Technique originated from a past Demonic Sect patriarch, who fused various methods to craft something innovative.
Across millennia, scarcely any in the Demonic Sect had fully comprehended it.
To grasp this Cultivation Technique demanded [Kunpeng Essence Blood] as the essential base.
After countless years, the Demonic Sect’s reserves of Kunpeng Essence Blood had run dry, causing the Technique to fall into obscurity.
While numerous disciples still opted to cultivate it, none achieved true mastery.
Even a handful of exceptionally gifted individuals who delved deeply into this Technique failed to reach Nascent Soul due to its inherent shortcomings.
"Summon this disciple who mastered the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique to see me."
The Heavenly Demon Sect Master considered for a moment, then commanded, eager to learn exactly how the person had mastered the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique.
At once, a cultivator dropped to one knee, saluted, and declared: "Sect Master, this information came from Elder Zuo Qiu, who observed a disciple called ’Zhao Wuzhen’ wielding the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique, yet he tragically died in the Kunpeng Nest within the Starry Sky Sea."
"However, Elder Zuo Qiu recalled nothing about this disciple, so I checked the Record Hall, only to discover no record of such a person."
This cultivator explained.
"Zhao Wuzhen? No such individual?"
The Heavenly Demon Sect Master’s brow furrowed.
Although the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ boasted few successes and had long been neglected, as a Cultivation Technique housed on the Third Layer of the Sect’s Sutra Pavilion, access and practice were restricted to core true inheritors.
In light of this, the absence of any trace for this disciple was puzzling.
"Could this person have obtained the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ from external sources?"
While every sect vigilantly protects its Cultivation Techniques, prohibiting their spread.
Nevertheless, certain disciples or elders facing peril abroad might transmit their Cultivation Techniques via specific channels, resulting in breaches.
Such incidents carry both benefits and drawbacks.
The benefit lies in a disciple receiving the passed-on heritage potentially joining the Demonic Sect as a follower.
The drawback involves the technique’s exposure, allowing rival factions to analyze and counter it effectively.
"But the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ hasn’t seen mastery in almost a thousand years.... wait...."
In that instant, the Heavenly Demon Sect Master’s thoughts flashed like thunder, abruptly remembering a detail, his gaze sharpening.
He halted briefly, then proceeded: "Given the Kunpeng egg’s emergence, dispatch several agents to investigate. Per the Sect’s archives, the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ shares deep ties with the Kunpeng Nest. Carry the foundational elements of this Cultivation Technique; it might lead you to the Kunpeng egg."
For a premier sect like the Demonic Sect, a chance like the Kunpeng egg held immense value.
Should the Kunpeng egg be located and raised, it would not only yield a Guardian Sect Beast bearing True Spirit Bloodline but also revive the practice of the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique.’
