The Jiang family reveled in pride from their standout performance in the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm, with Lu Wangshu's acquisition of the Coagulation Crystal Elixir promising another Nascent Soul cultivator and solidifying their status as Jiang Country's top great clan. The Great Dream Immortal City remained steadfast amid external rumors and suspicions from the Four Great Immortal Sects, bolstered by the formidable Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale. In the Secret Realm, Lu Lingxiao achieved a triumphant breakthrough to form an Immortal Golden Core, drawing awe with its grand celestial phenomenon of dragons and thunder; he shared a profound poem outlining Core Formation principles, earning gratitude from observers. The Realm soon closed, and Lu Lingxiao reunited with his mother Ling Zixiao before returning to the Immortal City. Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng sensed a surge of mana and received a system notification for his five descendants' Core Formation breakthroughs, granting a rare lottery draw.

"Hmm!? Has Xiao’er broken through to Core Formation!?"

Suddenly, mana and a system alert appeared, allowing Lu Changsheng to instantly understand that his son Lu Lingxiao had achieved a breakthrough into Core Formation.

A single thought crossed his mind.

[Name: Lu Lingxiao]

[Life Span: 71/551]

[Talent: First-Grade Spiritual Root, Dragon Roar Physique (Partial)]

[Cultivation Level: Core Formation First Layer]

[Talent: Pupil Skill Affinity (101%)]

"It’s really Xiao’er."

Even though he had expected this moment, witnessing his son’s successful advancement to Core Formation filled Lu Changsheng with great delight.

In particular, from the mana flowing into his body, Lu Changsheng sensed that his son’s Golden Core was of superior quality, better than that of his other offspring.

Yet it remained a distance from a Great Dao Golden Core.

"With Xiao’er now at Core Formation, the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm will surely erupt in quite a stir."

Lu Changsheng stood up and stepped out of the small courtyard, his eyes fixed on the spiritual glow of the grand formation over Penglai Immortal City, turning his sight toward the Great Dream Marsh.

Were it not for concerns about his son Lu Quanzhen and Nascent Soul affairs, he normally wouldn’t wish to venture so far, leaving his wives and children behind for extended periods.

"I’m curious when word from the Goddess Palace will come."

Letting out a profound sigh, Lu Changsheng pulled back his gaze.

Searching for a person across the immense Starry Sky Sea was no simple task.

Even for a mighty force like the Goddess Palace, uncovering leads via intelligence networks could span several years.

However, lingering here for years on end was not an option he desired.

"I’ll hold out a little longer; if needed, I’ll head back home, escort some Lu Family disciples to handle operations and information gathering..."

Through his observations over recent days, Lu Changsheng had noted that the Starry Sky Sea boasted greater prosperity than the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.

Penglai Immortal City alone outshone his Great Dream Immortal City, as well as Jiang Country’s Jiuxiao Immortal City and Azure Phoenix Immortal City.

He could easily dispatch a few of his children to build foundations here, assisting in acquiring diverse heavenly treasures, rare spiritual resources.

Eventually, he might replicate a Little Michen Banner to establish a teleportation array linking the two realms!

Having Lu Family members on site would simplify efforts, whether tracking leads on his son Lu Quanzhen or advancing his future endeavors.

"Now that Xiao’er has reached Core Formation, sending him to the Starry Sky Sea for tempering and exploration seems fitting."

Lu Changsheng pondered his son, who had just broken through to Core Formation.

Sheltered under his protection, the boy had developed steadily, yet his full potential remained untapped, somewhat constrained.

Having merged with the [Son of Heaven Qi Observation] Seed of Law, he was ideally suited for independent ventures to forge his path.

"That said, Xiao’er’s breakthrough to Core Formation is fresh; he requires time to solidify his realm and master the divine secret arts."

"Plus, his Fire Technique cultivation doesn’t align well with a maritime domain like the Starry Sky Sea."

Considering his son Lu Lingxiao’s cultivation path, Lu Changsheng shook his head once more.

Had his son practiced the "Black Dragon Codex", he would have thrived in the Starry Sky Sea.

But with the Hong Lian technique, facing demons or engaging in battles put him at an inherent disadvantage.

Additionally, bearing the Son of Heaven’s Golden Eyes, his son excelled in formations and dragon seeking; post-Core Formation, beyond realm stabilization, advancing these talents to Third Rank would be ideal!

"The family still lacks enough reliable hands."

Despite numerous Lu Family Foundation Establishment cultivators, in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, they fell short; a Nascent Soul overseer was essential.

After brief contemplation, Lu Changsheng set these thoughts aside for now, murmuring inwardly: "System Drawing!"

Having previously acquired the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror and Great Luo Sword Embryo, Lu Changsheng brimmed with eagerness for this third rare prize.

Soon, the golden radiance settled on the ’Cultivation Technique Classics’ category.

[Ding! Congratulations host for obtaining the cultivation technique: "True Spirit Nine Transformations"!]

[Reward has been issued to the system space, host can view it anytime]

From the drawing mechanism arose an image of a jade slip containing the cultivation technique, alongside the system’s chime.

"A cultivation technique, True Spirit... Nine Transformations?"

Upon realizing the prize was a cultivation technique, Lu Changsheng furrowed his brow and let out a sigh.

At this juncture, receiving a cultivation technique proved rather disappointing to him.

Particularly one of such high caliber.

Though his "Yin Yang Creation Classic" could integrate various methods and harmonize with others, what benefit did an abundance of techniques hold for him?

Besides, elite techniques like this demanded stringent cultivation prerequisites, unmet by any of his children or Lu Family members.

With another sigh, he inspected the system space.

[Cultivation Technique: True Spirit Nine Transformations]

[Grade: True Immortal Rank]

[Description: Created by Northern Moon Celestial Venerable, the cultivation requirements are extremely harsh, each level requires a type of True Spirit Essence Blood to cultivate. Once cultivated, transformation techniques can be used to assume the form of the True Spirit and possess part of its innate divine abilities, tremendously powerful, up to a maximum of nine levels!]

"Shifting into True Spirit forms and gaining portions of their innate divine powers—truly remarkable."

From the description alone, Lu Changsheng recognized this as an exceptional technique.

Nevertheless... that was its limit for him.

He held no real interest in such techniques presently.

After all, pursuing them would merely offer marginal boosts to his battle prowess.

For true combat enhancement, diligently refining the Brahman Demon True Body to perfection and advancing to Nascent Soul would yield swifter results.

"I wonder how challenging this technique is to practice..."

Perusing the technique’s details, Lu Changsheng noted the severe entry conditions it imposed.

Every layer necessitated a distinct type of True Spirit Essence Blood.

Typically, securing even one sample of True Spirit Essence Blood posed immense difficulty for cultivators, much less several varieties.

Yet in his household... the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, Soul-calling Beast, Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, and even the Mount Sumeru Tree King all carried True Spirit Bloodlines.

Should cultivation prove straightforward, his offspring could delve deeply into this technique.
