"Puff!"
With a sweep of the Mountain Moving Whip, Lu Changsheng struck forward. It was like the sun breaking through the clouds, the whip whistling through the air and smashing into the mutated beast. The creature was sent flying, its chest caved in and shattered, its flesh and blood exploding into mist.
"Lu Changsheng, your strength?"
Yun Wanshang recognized the terrifying nature of this mutated beast, which had reached the Third Rank. Yet, Lu Changsheng had almost whipped it to death, a truly astonishing feat. Furthermore, his whip seemed to have been swung with casual ease.
"True Man, as you know, I cultivate both Qi Refinement and Body Refinement. Even though my Qi and Blood Magical Power is dormant now, my physical body and physique remain intact."
Seeing Yun Wanshang’s startled and amazed expression, Lu Changsheng chuckled inwardly, finding the Caiyun True Immortal quite amusing. He then laughed heartily and spoke frankly.
"..."
Yun Wanshang was aware that Lu Changsheng had practiced Magical Dual Cultivation in his early years.
However, Body Refinement at a certain stage became increasingly resource-intensive. Most cultivators only practiced it minimally to enhance self-preservation, unlike Lu Changsheng’s astonishing level.
The opponent's physical strength had likely reached the Third Rank Peak?
Over a hundred years old, not only at the Core Formation Peak but also possessing a Third Rank Peak physique?
Even though Yun Wanshang had once been considered a genius of the Qingyun Sect and had witnessed numerous talents, facing a monstrous figure like Lu Changsheng caused her immense discouragement, making her question her own life path.
She realized that she had only grasped a fraction of Lu Changsheng's capabilities and had merely seen the tip of the iceberg concerning his other aspects.
Yun Wanshang softly uttered a "Hmm," refraining from further inquiry. She then instructed her Golden Armored Guards to deal with the mutated creature.
Being brought out by Yun Wanshang signified their extraordinary strength.
But on this journey, from encountering Qian Zhuyan to meeting Lu Changsheng, everyone felt bewildered, beginning to question their own existence.
Unexpectedly, their City Lord knew such powerful individuals from Outer Heaven.
At this pace, it was highly probable that their Qingyun City would soon become the preeminent, unrivaled city in the Land of Eternal Night.
Their gazes towards Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan became increasingly respectful.
With Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan present, along with three Third Rank Top-Tier puppets, Yun Wanshang’s excursion proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
However, in terms of harvest, it was only mediocre, as they failed to acquire any high-tier rare Spiritual Objects.
One day, as they were preparing to temporarily return, Lu Changsheng suddenly noticed several faint strands of colorful flowing light appearing in the black fog ahead.
He moved forward to investigate and discovered a flower radiating gold, green, and red hues, quietly growing. Its petals were crystal clear and vibrant, clearly an extraordinary spiritual item.
"This is the Tricolor Flower! Once mature and consumed, it can restore a portion of one's mana!"
Yun Wanshang approached, instantly recognizing the Spirit Flower, and exclaimed happily. She then immediately became alert, signaling Lu Changsheng to exercise caution.
This Land of Eternal Night, much like many locales in the Cultivation World, often harbors mutated creatures or eerie guardians near rare spiritual productions.
"Below!"
This strange creature was concealed deep beneath the soil where the Tricolor Flower grew, its presence masked by the flower’s spiritual aura, making it difficult for ordinary detection.
However, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror that Lu Changsheng carried promptly issued a warning.
"Lu Changsheng, be careful! This Tricolor Flower is not yet fully mature, so do not damage it. I will handle this."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanshang immediately mobilized her power. Her eyes shone like stars, her pupils radiating light as she gazed at the ground. A faint golden Magical Sword materialized in her hand, and she struck towards the eerie entity hidden beneath the Tricolor Flower.
While she might not match Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan in direct combat, her strength was extraordinary when her magical abilities were activated.
After a single slash, her left hand surged with brilliant light, launching a palm strike imbued with a form of Heavenly Light Power.
With a chilling cry, a horrifying Ghost Face materialized and charged towards Yun Wanshang.
"Puff!"
Sensing the situation, Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan immediately intervened, slaying the Ghost Face. It dissipated into a puff of smoke, leaving behind a thumb-sized, jade-green crystal stone.
"Little Yan."
Lu Changsheng knew this jade-green crystal stone would be beneficial to Qian Zhuyan, capable of enhancing her Puppet Spirit Soul. Therefore, all such crystals obtained from encounters with strange creatures on this trip were given to her.
Although the Soul Crystal was also valuable to Yun Wanshang, usable for activating Talismans, setting up Formations, and being incorporated into armor and weapons, she did not compete for them.
Since Qian Zhuyan needed them more, Yun Wanshang did not claim them and even offered her own Soul Crystals to her.
"This Tricolor Flower requires another month for full maturation; our wait begins now."
Yun Wanshang contemplated the Tricolor Flower for a moment before conveying this to Lu Changsheng.
Within the broader Cultivation World, rare Spirit Plants or Spiritual Medicine could be expedited in growth or relocated by a proficient Spiritual Plant Master.
However, the peculiar circumstances of the Land of Eternal Night precluded such methods.
Furthermore, in the Cultivation World, it was common practice to simply await a plant's maturity. If the waiting period was extensive, cultivators would often erect a Formation for concealment and return only when the plant was ready.
"Understood."
Despite Lu Changsheng's fervent desire to depart the Land of Eternal Night, he understood that traversing the Heavenly Light necessitated the restoration of his mana.
Then, with an eager glint in his eyes, he focused on the Tricolor Flower before him, speculating on the extent of dormant mana it would reawaken within his being.
...
Meanwhile, across the vast expanse of the Starry Sky Sea, within the hallowed grounds of the Goddess Palace.
Deep within the central Goddess Hall, amidst a grand and expansive chamber, stood rows of crystalline pillars. They emanated a steady Spiritual Light, which intertwined with intricate runes etched upon the white jade walls, collectively forging a serene, enigmatic, and sacred Qi Mechanism.
At the heart of it all, resting upon an Ice Jade Bed from which a frigid aura swirled, three exceptionally beautiful, breathtakingly picturesque, and legendary Goddesses began to materialize.
Shen Jianjia, adorned in an opulent palace dress that cascaded like a flowing star river, sat in a cross-legged posture. She was actively working to suppress the potent effects of the Fairy Tears affecting the two sisters bathed in ethereal starlight before her.
