Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2012: 529: Homeward

"Kunpeng Egg..."

Naturally, Lu Changsheng was well aware of the Kunpeng Egg.

For years, all the dominant factions throughout the Starry Sky Sea have been relentlessly tracking this legendary item.

Yet, he never imagined that his own son's fate would be intertwined with such a treasure.

"Could Quanzhen have actually secured the Kunpeng Egg?"

Lu Changsheng mused, the thought seeming almost impossible.

Countless Nascent Soul True Lords were scouring the Secret Realm for opportunities, so how could a cultivator at the Initial Stage of Core Formation possibly walk away with the greatest prize?

If his son truly possessed the Kunpeng Egg, relief would wash over him, knowing that in a few years or even decades, his son would eventually emerge.

However, when he performed the divination, there were no omens—neither auspicious nor dire—which suggested that his son did not, in fact, possess the egg.

"Presently, every power in the Starry Sky Sea is hunting for the Kunpeng Egg. If any rumors of its location surface, swarms of Nascent Soul Cultivators will descend. Given my current strength, intervening to find Quanzhen would be nearly impossible!"

While Lu Changsheng was capable of clashing with Nascent Soul experts and even dispatching those in the early stages, competing against the combined forces of the Starry Sky Sea was a daunting prospect.

"I must return at once to elevate Tihun to the Fourth Rank and bring the Spiritual Whale along. With these, I can hunt for leads on the Kunpeng Egg, locate Quanzhen, and perhaps even contest for the egg itself!"

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed as he solidified his plan.

He had previously ignored the Kunpeng Egg, but now, with his son's fate bound to its discovery, he had no other path.

Furthermore, given his advanced "True Spirit Nine Transformations" technique, nurturing a Kunpeng cub would bring immense prosperity to the Lu Family.

"Then there are the Wugu Old Demon and Shi Hai True Monarch."

"If I can track them down and extract information concerning Quanzhen, my divinations will be far more precise."

Lu Changsheng considered the targets mentioned in his intelligence.

Under ordinary circumstances, he wouldn't be able to capture them for interrogation. But if Tihun ascended to the Fourth Rank and he commanded the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, he had every ounce of confidence needed.

Without further delay, the pale and exhausted Lu Changsheng returned to the main hall.

"Daoist Xuanmu, are you alright?"

Shen Yiren noticed his condition and realized immediately that he had burned his own essence blood and lifespan for his divinations.

There was no other explanation for such rapid depletion.

"My gratitude to the Third Palace Master for your concern. I was attempting to track Wuzhen’s location, but the interference from the heavenly secrets was immense, resulting in a temporary loss of essence. A few days of rest is all I require."

Lu Changsheng’s voice remained weak and hollow.

Shen Yiren hesitated—she wanted to warn him that overusing his Divination Art could permanently damage his body, yet she held her tongue, mindful that the Goddess Palace might require his services in the future.

She raised a hand, unleashing a shower of vibrant, vital energy upon him. "Rest well, Daoist. I shall have the servants bring elixirs to help you recover your essence and primordial energy."

"I am deeply grateful, Third Palace Master."

It was undeniable; the Third Palace Master’s selfless assistance left quite an impression.

"Although the last calculation proved fruitless, I intend to visit the ruins of the Kunpeng Nest to see if I can find more clues regarding Wuzhen’s status."

Lu Changsheng prepared to return to the Myriad Demon Abyss.

As an Honorary Elder of the Goddess Palace, he was required to report his departures.

Shen Yiren remained silent for a heartbeat before speaking, "I have heard that the ruins are teeming with cultivators and various bandits. Please exercise caution, Daoist. Should you face peril, do not hesitate to invoke the name of the Goddess Palace."

The Palace placed few restrictions on an Honorary Elder of his standing. Since he provided a valid reason and the faction lacked strictly urgent matters, there was no impetus to refuse.

"Many thanks, Third Palace Master."

Lu Changsheng expressed his appreciation and presented a jade talisman. "If any news of Wuzhen surfaces, or if something urgent arises, burn this talisman and I shall return posthaste."

"Understood."

Shen Yiren smiled kindly. Noting his frail state, she did not linger, choosing to depart.

Shortly after, she dispatched a bottle of high-grade essence-replenishing pills.

"Heh..."

Lu Changsheng chuckled, downing the medicine.

With his Chaos Body, Fourth Rank Physique, and the power of his Kidney Divine Depository, his recovery rate was vastly superior to that of normal cultivators.

In just a few days, his qi-blood would be roaring with vitality once again.

Though he didn't strictly need the pills to recover, he wouldn't turn down the gesture; efficiency meant a faster return to his goal.

...

Three days later, fully recovered, Lu Changsheng once again attempted to divine the status of the Kunpeng Egg.

His goal was to secure some foresight into any incoming news to ensure he wasn't caught unaware.

However, lacking a proper medium or concrete lead, his efforts yielded nothing but thin air.

Nonetheless, during the process, he perceived that the resistance from the heavens regarding the Kunpeng Egg felt eerily similar to the interference surrounding his son, Lu Quanzhen.

"So, Quanzhen is likely near the Kunpeng Egg, but his fortune remains shrouded in volatility?"

Lu Changsheng frowned in deep thought.

What began as a mere excuse to visit the Kunpeng Nest now felt like a necessity. He had to go—if he could obtain even a small piece of a medium related to the Kunpeng Egg, he might be able to combine that resonance with his son’s information to gain the truth.
