Shen Baishuang led Lu Changsheng and several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Goddess Palace toward Black Reef Island on a vast crimson cloud. Amid the journey through the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer, they conversed amiably, sharing insights. Nearing the island, the Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King Canglin King intercepted them with greedy intent but withdrew upon recognizing Shen Baishuang. She cautioned them about the perils of local Transformed Demon Kings before they commenced the search for the Kunpeng Egg.

The search for the Kunpeng egg proceeds individually, without forming groups.

In truth, locating the Kunpeng egg is akin to finding a needle in a boundless ocean, where cultivators plunge into the profound depths, deploying Divine Sense along with sensing tokens forged by powerful sects for exhaustive scanning.

"Activate the Sensing Talisman right away if any issue arises. Gather immediately upon detecting a signal."

Shen Baishuang, dressed in an exquisite red robe, radiating icy allure, cautioned Lu Changsheng and his companions.

Clashes and rivalries among factions are inevitable during this hunt.

Hence, Nascent Soul True Lords demonstrate their vital role at such times.

With a Nascent Soul guardian present, every cultivator pursuing the Kunpeng egg instinctively obeys the silent protocols.

No fierce combats or deadly assaults occur until the Kunpeng egg appears.

Should one faction unleash killing moves and enrage the rival Nascent Soul True Lord, that powerhouse could boldly strike at enemy Core Formation experts, unleashing a devastating massacre that brings everything to a halt.

"Understood."

Lu Changsheng and the rest saluted with cupped hands in unison, then submerged into the sea for their quest.

"Why is that woman using Divine Sense to monitor me?"

Yet mere moments after descending into the abyssal waters, Lu Changsheng detected a subtle Divine Sense locking onto him, prompting a brief hesitation.

Thanks to his Nascent Soul-grade Taiyi Divine Soul, he quickly discerned it belonged to Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang.

After brief reflection, Lu Changsheng feigned ignorance, gripping his sensing token while tirelessly probing the ocean depths.

Thus, time trickled by slowly.

On this particular day, Lu Changsheng observed that Shen Baishuang’s Divine Sense had withdrawn from him.

He steadfastly persisted in his deep-sea scanning for three more days, ensuring she no longer watched, before reaching a coral cluster, erecting a Barrier to conceal his presence, and unleashing his Nascent Soul-tier Divine Sense.

Though his Nascent Soul Divine Sense spanned thousands of meters,

the ocean’s depths imposed some disruption.

Besides, sustaining Divine Sense over long durations strained his Mental Spirit, rendering a thousand-meter range impressive under normal conditions.

Assured of solitude nearby, Lu Changsheng lifted his palm gently, tossing out his Divination Copper Coin to foretell his own fate first.

Perhaps due to Diviners and Nascent Soul True Lords nearby, the Heavenly Secrets and Qi Mechanism felt even more turbulent and obscured.

Yet prior to arrival, Lu Changsheng had already divined for himself, so he shifted to checking for shifts in the prior divinatory symbols.

Soon after, confirming the symbols remained unchanged with wavering fortunes, Lu Changsheng relaxed instantly and tapped into the Kunpeng Nest’s Qi Mechanism via his bloodline link with son Lu Quanzhen for deeper insight.

Interference from local Heavenly Secrets hindered progress; even with a Divination medium and narrowed possible locations for the Kunpeng egg, Lu Changsheng faced immense barriers amid thick mists.

His expression grew grave as he sprayed Essence Blood onto the three Divination Copper Coins to intensify the divination.

By expending Essence Blood and Life Span as toll, the celestial haze before him slowly lifted and faded.

In a mystical vision, he beheld son Lu Quanzhen merged with a colossal egg shimmering in gold and black, positioned within a deep-sea rift.

The vision shattered the next instant.

Lu Changsheng paled drastically, drained utterly, resembling someone bled dry.

"Has Quanzhen fused with the Kunpeng egg? And he’s now in a deep sea Spirit Vein rift?"

Though unclear on son Lu Quanzhen’s exact plight, Lu Changsheng sensed his dire peril.

His Mental Spirit stirred faintly, summoning the Tianyuan Lotus into his grasp.

"Buzz!"

The sacred lotus radiated enigmatic azure-blue radiance, swirling into a tiny vortex.

From within emerged a dainty girl with refined features, twin curved Dragon Horns atop her head, clad in fierce battle armor.

"Master."

Lu Lingjing gazed at Lu Changsheng with wide obsidian eyes, her voice clear and sweet.

"Lingjing, scour this sea region for a massive egg within a deep sea rift...."

Lu Changsheng swiftly shared the divined heavenly image with the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, tasking her to locate son Lu Quanzhen.

As a oceanic sovereign, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale outmatched this Second Rank Dragon Seeker in detecting deep sea Spirit Vein rifts.

"Okay, Master."

Lu Lingjing nodded with her characteristic sluggish innocence, readying to commence the search.

"Avoid fights with other cultivators if possible. In trouble, trigger the [Sun and Moon Token] or Sensing Talisman to alert me."

"If you spot these two, message me too."

Lu Changsheng conveyed images of Wugu Old Demon and Shi Hai True Monarch to Lu Lingjing, giving her directives.

He held no fears for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale venturing solo.

For starters, as a True Spirit Demon Beast freshly at Fourth Rank for mere years, her power eclipsed numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, rivaling seasoned ones.

Additionally, she bore the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror.

Within Black Reef Island’s vicinity, he could track her approximate position via the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror and even converse remotely.

"Okay."

Lu Lingjing bobbed her petite head, her dark eyes fixed on Lu Changsheng for further commands.

"That’s all, head out now."

Lu Changsheng affectionately stroked her twin curved Dragon Horns, grinning warmly.

At once, Lu Lingjing reverted to her Dragon Whale true form, harnessing innate senses for deep sea Spirit Vein rifts to hunt the Kunpeng egg.
