Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2113: 566: Lu Changsheng: Master... True Man, Why Are You Here?

Though Yun Wanshang found Lu Changsheng’s actions quite irksome, she could not deny the deep trust between them.

"Naturally, I don’t mind," Lu Changsheng readily agreed.

Despite their mutual understanding, Lu Changsheng was still prepared to cooperate with an unfamiliar cultivator to glean information about the Land of Eternal Night.

In addition to Qian Zhuyan, he was also in pursuit of the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

Securing the assistance of a local entity from the Land of Eternal Night would undoubtedly simplify the search for the Golden Peng.

Furthermore, the Six Paths Demon Consort was rumored to be present in this very realm.

Given his current diminished state of Cultivation and magical prowess, Yun Wanshang’s aid would instill greater confidence should he cross paths with this formidable Demon Consort.

"Hmm, Xi Yue… how is she doing now?" Yun Wanshang inquired, turning her gaze towards Lu Changsheng.

When she had embarked on her journey, she had not foreseen such an extended absence. Unforeseen circumstances had led her to this world, leaving her profoundly concerned for the Qingyun Sect, her disciple Chu Qingyi, and Xiao Xiyue.

During his visit to the Qingyun Sect, the Sect Leader had apprressed him of her departure for the Yue Country War.

With so many years having elapsed, he could only speculate on the war's progression and whether Xi Yue was safe.

Upon hearing that her disciple Xiao Xiyue had attained Core Formation, Yun Wanshang felt a measure of relief and then inquired about the Qingyun Sect's current standing.

"True Master, while you were away, you may not be aware: previously, Liang Country initiated a Magic Artifact War against Yue Country… This Liangyue War has reached a stalemate, and Yuan Country is currently making inroads into Wu Country. Consequently, the Heavenly Sword Sect has summoned Nascent Soul cultivators from the Four Great Immortal Sects to bolster Yue Country's defenses…"

Lu Changsheng proceeded to relay recent developments concerning Jiang Country and the Qingyun Sect.

"The Liangyue War," Yun Wanshang mused. As a senior figure within the Qingyun Sect, she had anticipated the possibility of conflict upon her departure, though the sheer intensity of the ongoing hostilities had not been foreseen.

She suddenly posed a question: "Lu Changsheng, given the fierce engagement between Jiang Country and Yue Country, how did you find yourself in the Starry Sky Sea?"

Had Lu Changsheng advanced to Nascent Soul, his influence might well have altered the war's trajectory, yet here he was, inexplicably present within the Land of Eternal Night.

"Much like yourself, True Master, upon reaching the zenith of Core Formation, I perceived that my path to Nascent Soul lay within the Starry Sky Sea," Lu Changsheng stated plainly, choosing not to conceal his cultivation level.

For one, Yun Wanshang was already cognizant of his breakthrough to Core Formation.

Secondly, their collaboration was essential for their escape from this realm.

Under these circumstances, any pretense of secrecy was impractical; he needed to demonstrate some measure of his capabilities and techniques.

"The pinnacle of Core Formation? You have not yet advanced to Nascent Soul?" Yun Wanshang expressed surprise.

While Lu Changsheng's attainment of the Core Formation pinnacle at his age was indeed remarkable, it paled in comparison to achieving a Nascent Soul breakthrough.

After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator exceeding one hundred years of age was virtually unheard of in the entire recorded history of Jiang Country's Cultivation World.

Even within the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, such individuals were relegated to legend, exceedingly rare.

"No, I have not," Lu Changsheng replied. Noticing Yun Wanshang's reaction, he found himself amused, aware that she had presumed his Nascent Soul status.

However, on second thought, her assumption was quite logical.

He possessed not only a Fourth Rank Puppet like Qian Zhuyan but also a Spiritual Treasure and an additional three top-tier Third Rank Puppets.

Upon learning that Lu Changsheng had not yet reached Nascent Soul, Yun Wanshang experienced a dual sensation of relief and slight disappointment.

Whispers suggested that only Nascent Soul cultivators who had mastered the Space Force possessed the means of escape.

With Lu Changsheng not having broken through to Nascent Soul, their prospects of departing this world had diminished considerably.

"Do not be concerned, True Master. I have certain opportunities; once my mana is restored, I shall devise a method to depart this world!"

Now privy to the means of egress, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of confidence regarding their eventual escape from the Land of Eternal Night.

"Hmm," Yun Wanshang acknowledged, observing the resolute confidence etched on Lu Changsheng's brow. She then proceeded to expound further on the intricacies of the Land of Eternal Night.

Although Lu Changsheng had acquired substantial knowledge from Yuan Yi'an and others concerning the Land of Eternal Night, their understanding was inherently limited and could not rival the depth of Yun Wanshang's insights.

"By the way, True Man, have you happened to see any Heavenly Light or perhaps a golden peng bird around two months ago? I was unexpectedly brought to this realm by a Ghost Ship, along with my Spiritual Pet," Lu Changsheng inquired of Yun Wanshang.

It was imperative for him to locate the Golden Peng that had descended into this world.

Considering the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng was a True Spirit Level Demon King, its speed was virtually unparalleled; discovering it would not only provide a significant boost to their power but could also prove instrumental in their escape.

"Heavenly Light, a golden peng bird, about two months ago?" Yun Wanshang mused for a moment before admitting with a shake of her head that she would need to make inquiries once she returned.

As a City Lord, her excursions were infrequent unless a major Heavenly Light Treasure made an appearance.

Their conversation flowed as if they were old acquaintances, fully absorbed in their exchange.

Despite Lu Changsheng's earlier declaration at Caiyun Peak, vowing to one day ascend Qingyun Peak and embrace the clouds, a statement that had strained their relationship, neither party brought it up at this moment.

After a considerable period, they stood, gathering Qian Zhuyan, the three puppets, and Yun Wanshang’s Golden Armor Guards, before venturing deep into the mountains in pursuit of Spiritual Objects.
