Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2049: 543: Little Que’er

"Next to these rewards, that bit of lifespan means nothing; over six hundred years remain for me."

"After handling this crisis, breaking through to Nascent Soul will grant me a full millennium of life!"

With eyes distant and deep, Lu Changsheng brushed away the blood at his mouth's edge, ignoring the couple of decades shaved off by the divination.

In the end, he wasn't a Nascent Soul Cultivator burdened by fleeting years.

Against the day's tremendous harvests, the spent lifespan seemed utterly insignificant!

"So this is divination's true path? Willing to burn a few centuries of life, and I might propel it straight to Fourth Rank!"

After burning lifespan to peer into heaven's secrets and the fate river, Lu Changsheng gained profound insight into heavenly divination.

He understood that grinding through heavenly mysteries bit by bit would take an eternity to hit Fourth Rank!

By offering vast lifespan, one could brute-force into heaven's workings and destiny, surging divination mastery in a flash!

Of course, despite his abundant lifespan, Lu Changsheng wouldn't squander it so recklessly.

"Father!?"

Spotting his father's pallid, drained face—once vibrant and striking—now spouting blood, Lu Quanzhen knew he'd unleashed the Divination Art!

Such backlash meant confronting a dire calamity!

"No worries, Father has a plan."

Lu Changsheng's tone stayed calm and refined, laced with unshakeable assurance.

This poise even swayed Lu Quanzhen, soothing his anxiety.

Yet he wondered when Father had mastered the Divination Art?

"Buzz!"

Lu Changsheng raised his palm slightly, sending the prior Bone Talisman soaring like a dawn sun, bursting with Divine Light and exhaling vibrant life Essence Energy.

This energy flooded into him, saturating every limb and organ, as color and vigor returned to his ashen features.

The withered aura around him vanished, swept away by his Fourth Rank Physique's surging Qi-Blood.

"What a remarkable Talisman Treasure; in peril, it's like an extra life, right?"

Soon after, Lu Changsheng stored the Bone Talisman, seeing roughly one-fifth of its Essence Origin depleted.

The leftover Origin could still mend grave wounds completely!

Paired with Nirvana Divine Ability and this treasure, he boasted three full lives.

"Quanzhen, head into the Tianyuan Lotus first; once safe, I'll fix your issue."

Eyeing the Kunpeng Egg, Lu Changsheng summoned the Tianyuan Lotus.

Divination showed the safest path: observe, then flee to Goddess Palace alongside Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang.

To shield the Kunpeng Egg's Qi Mechanism from prying divination, stashing it in the Tianyuan Lotus proved simplest.

This lotus ranked Fourth Rank Top Level, mere moments from evolving into Fifth Rank [Heavenly Yuan Dao Lotus]!

Thus, the Kunpeng Egg hidden in Tianyuan Lotus's Cave Heaven space evaded all detection.

"Understood, Father."

Lu Quanzhen obeyed without question.

"Buzz!"

Tianyuan Lotus glowed, birthing a swirling vortex that swallowed the Kunpeng Egg swiftly.

"Lingjing, guard Quanzhen."

Lu Changsheng addressed the nearby Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, signaling her into the Tianyuan Lotus too.

Should the Kunpeng hatchling stir or trouble arise, she must alert him.

"Yes, Master."

The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale shifted to human form and slipped inside, leaving Lu Quanzhen in the Kunpeng Egg stunned and awed.

He now grasped that Lu Lingjing was truly the family Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale.

Yet before probing Black Dragon Sect details, Father had boosted her advancement.

Lu Lingjing ignored Lu Quanzhen in the Kunpeng Egg, her petite face somewhat blank as she eyed it vigilantly for shifts.

Still, she couldn't help but lick her lips and gulp.

The Kunpeng Egg tempted her irresistibly.

Without unwavering loyalty to Lu Changsheng, entrusting her with it would be like setting a monkey over the Immortal Peach Orchard.

...

With Kunpeng Egg and Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale secured in Tianyuan Lotus, Lu Changsheng mulled, then tossed in Bone Talisman, Infant Transformation Elixir, Five-Colored Spirit Fan, and Golden Small Tripod.

To block diviners from tracing these to the Kunpeng Nest's enigmatic Qi Mechanism.

As Third Rank Top Level diviner, he never underrated fellow diviners.

Top forces' seers might gamble lifespan wildly under pressure, probing fiercer than he dared.

Next, Lu Changsheng channeled Yin Yang Magic Power; a Yin Yang Fish diagram spun forth, purging Qi Mechanisms of Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale and Kunpeng Egg.

This Secret Technique came from Hong Lian, gleaned amid pursuit by Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and crew in Vast Sand Illusion Realm.

It severed and purified Qi Mechanisms against tracking.

Finished, Lu Changsheng exited Deep Sea Rift, then mimicked "Yin Yang Creation Classic" as "Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture," probing ahead like any common cultivator.

Divination foretold imminent clash on Black Reef Island, where he risked entanglement.

His task: stay prudent, shun avarice and haste, stick tight to Second Palace Master's wing.

...

At the same time.

Southern Wilderness Middle Domain.

A secluded mountain hamlet.

Backed by peaks and embracing streams amid Qing Shan, it resembled a serene haven.
