Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2073: 551: Longyang, Heavenly Spiritual Root! (part 2)

Yet, confronting her—the Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, famed across the Starry Sky Sea for her peerless beauty—Lin Yuanting showed no emotion.

He merely struggled against disobeying his father’s commands and attempted to foster harmony with her.

Still, such things cannot simply be compelled.

In time, bottling up his urges for so long caused Lin Yuanting’s Dragon Yang Peculiarity to flare up worse, sparking lewd encounters with numerous male cultivators within her own bedchamber.

When she emerged from seclusion and beheld that shocking sight, rage emptied her mind; her body quaking, she erupted into a slaughter, gravely wounding Lin Yuanting.

Respecting the bonds between their families and heeding the old Manor Master’s desperate pleas, she gritted her teeth and tolerated it, though she seldom set foot in Sword Casting Manor again.

Though Lin Yuanting brimmed with shame and endlessly sought to atone, the mere recollection of those vile scenes twisted her stomach, leaving her forever cold toward him.

For decades on end, simply upholding her position as the Manor Owner’s Wife in Sword Casting Manor pushed her to her breaking point.

Indeed, each visit to Sword Casting Manor brought those harrowing images crashing back unbidden, a grim reminder that her husband had indulged in endless such depravities before...

Even as the Kunpeng Egg affair wrapped up, the great forces of the Starry Sky Sea kept hunting relentlessly for it.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators and Transformed Demon Kings who fled Black Reef Island ahead of time drew intense scrutiny from these powers, along with the enigmatic Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale of obscure origins.

Yet the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale’s shadowy past, dearth of leads, and veil of heavenly secrets made divination impossible—they could only watch it vigilantly.

In this period, Xuanmu Taoist’s fame exploded throughout the Starry Sky Sea, reaching the ears of every major faction.

Still, the intel these powers gathered covered only his role as the Goddess Palace’s new Honorary Elder, Core Formation Great Master, Third-rank Talisman Master, and possessor of a Fourth Rank Puppet; Lu Changsheng’s feats in the White Bone Demon Palace stayed hidden from them.

Considering Lu Changsheng’s astonishing exploits inside the White Bone Demon Palace.

Not even the Six Paths Demon Consort wished for that knowledge to spread too widely.

Merely through prophecies and divinations from Six Paths Palace’s seers did they send agents to probe Xuanmu Taoist’s origins.

But with zero trails to follow—Lu Changsheng being a Third Rank Top Level Diviner himself, armed with the Tianyuan Lotus and Lu Family Genealogy—divining him proved as arduous as ascending to immortality.

Even a diviner sacrificing their full lifespan couldn’t extract details on him from the Heavenly Mechanism River; at best, they gleaned vague prospects elsewhere.

Lu Changsheng remained oblivious to the swirling rumors and scrutiny outside.

Why fret over others’ stares when operating under a false name?

Regarding the Six Paths Demon Consort and Six Paths Palace, while details escaped him, prior divinations had warned of gathering threats.

Thus, he’d been lying low in the Goddess Palace lately, announcing closed-door cultivation to the world while actually dwelling within the Tianyuan Lotus, guiding his son Lu Quanzhen through the Demon Fetus Transformation.

Through this, Lu Changsheng unlocked deep understandings of the Demon Fetus Transformation and Kunpeng Method, grasping that nothing under heaven escapes the dance of Yin and Yang.

The Kunpeng plunges into the depths as Kun, soars through the heavens as Peng—the shift between forms mirrors Yin and Yang’s eternal cycle!

Yet even sharing these revelations on Yin Yang transformation with Lu Quanzhen proved tough for him to grasp and refine his technique in his present condition.

Hence, Lu Changsheng kept channeling his Yin Yang Magic Power and Origin Source to stabilize the Kunpeng Yin Yang Source flooding into the Demon Fetus.

And so, five months slipped by.

The Demon Fetus lodged in the Kunpeng hatchling had morphed into a tiny Kunpeng Egg, pulsing with interwoven gold and shadow, flickering between glow and gloom, its shell etched with intricate Kunpeng-like runes.

"Father, thank you for your hard work."

Thanks to Lu Changsheng’s aid, Lu Quanzhen’s Demon Fetus Transformation had taken its first successful steps onto the proper path.

From here, steady nurturing would see it burst forth naturally.

"Alright, don’t rush the process, take it slow. Father’s understanding of The Way of Yin and Yang, you should carefully comprehend, which will benefit you now and in the future."

Seeing that his son’s affairs were proceeding without issues, Lu Changsheng chose not to linger nearby, offering a few final words of guidance before departing the Tianyuan Lotus. He then settled into a cross-legged position to cultivate and steady his breathing.

Assisting his son through the Demon Fetus Transformation held no real difficulty, yet prolonged involvement drained him considerably in both mental energy and mana.

...

[Congratulations to the host for having a Heavenly Spiritual Root offspring for the first time, gaining one chance to draw a prize!]

That day, Lu Changsheng abruptly sensed a familiar tremor from his Spiritual Root deep within his heart, as a profound and mysterious feeling swept through his entire form.

Spiritual Root!

His Spiritual Root had been upgraded!

It had evolved from the Earth Spirit Root into the Heavenly Spiritual Root!

"Hmm? Heavenly Spiritual Root! Has Yina’s child been born?"

Lu Changsheng abruptly snapped open his eyes, his face brimming with delight.

Even if this child wasn’t the Spiritual Body he had anticipated, a Heavenly Spiritual Root outshone countless Spiritual Bodies!

With a Heavenly Spiritual Root, breakthroughs prior to Nascent Soul faced virtually no obstacles.

Ordinary cultivators require Foundation Establishment Elixirs and Coagulation Crystal Elixirs to advance through Foundation Establishment and Core Formation!

Yet those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root boast a ninety percent success rate in breakthroughs without such aids, alongside strong chances of achieving a Perfect Foundation Base and Superior Grade Gold Core.

Lu Changsheng rarely engaged in personal cultivation, so the Spiritual Root upgrade brought him only minor benefits.

Still, the Heavenly Spiritual Root offered specific advantages for Nascent Soul breakthroughs.

Achieving Nascent Soul proved somewhat simpler compared to doing so with an Earth Spirit Root.

Naturally, for Lu Changsheng at present, the upgrade’s primary boon lay in boosting the Spiritual Root Talent of his future offspring!

"System!"

In his mind, Lu Changsheng silently summoned the system while gazing upon his newest child.

Yet the sight left him utterly shocked.

What was going on?

Hadn’t Yina already delivered her baby?

Why did another child remain unborn?
