Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2117: 560:

Beneath the vast, immeasurable darkness of the night, Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang patiently awaited the ripening of the Tricolored Flower.

"The heavenly light descends from the night sky without any discernible pattern, while the earthly light appears more frequently. Numerous spiritual objects you observe are a result of exposure to this earthly light..."

As they sat together, Yun Wanshang continued to illuminate Lu Changsheng on the peculiarities of the Land of Eternal Night.

Not far distant, Qian Zhuyan, her form imposing and bearing a cold, metallic sheen, observed the pair. Her soul fire flickered gently within her empty eye sockets, watching them as if they were a couple.

For reasons unclear, the sight of her lord with another woman stirred a peculiar sense of discomfort within her consciousness, which typically lacked emotional fluctuations.

"Boom!"

During this time, whenever a mutated creature or an eerie spirit dared to approach, Qian Zhuyan acted without hesitation, preempting the three Golden Armor Guards. She would immediately engage with her puppets, dispatching threats swiftly and with absolute finality.

Lu Changsheng noted that Qian Zhuyan’s actions seemed to stir a greater commotion than usual. However, he attributed this to the pervasive, oppressive atmosphere of the Land of Eternal Night and gave it little further thought.

Time flowed onward, and in what felt like an instant, more than half a month elapsed.

On this particular day, the Tricolored Flower unfurled its petals with astonishing speed, visible even to the naked eye. It swayed gently, releasing a dazzling, effervescent rain of crystalline flowers that seemed like a cascade of miniature stars, dispersing an intoxicatingly sweet aroma.

"The Tricolored Flower has reached its full maturity!"

Witnessing the Tricolored Flower in full bloom before her, Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes sparkled with profound joy. She quickly channeled her mana, her fair, jade-like hands glowing, and proceeded to carefully excavate the entire Tricolored Flower.

From its leaves down to its roots, the Tricolored Flower pulsed with a captivating, multicolored luminescence, appearing like an exquisite piece of glass artistry, utterly translucent.

"Lu Changsheng, consuming this spiritual object for the first time might induce some temporary discomfort. Let us return to Qingyun City first, where you can consume it at your leisure."

Yun Wanshang carefully placed the Tricolored Flower into a jade box she had prepared earlier, presenting it to Lu Changsheng with a warm smile.

Her mood was exceptionally bright at this moment, as each rare spiritual object she obtained brought her one step closer to her ultimate goal of returning.

"Thank you, True Immortal."

Reflecting Yun Wanshang’s joy, Lu Changsheng gratefully accepted the jade box.

Were it not for the thought of his wives and children awaiting him at home, he would not have minded prolonging his stay in the Land of Eternal Night with this Caiyun True Immortal.

Having spent a month in her company, he had come to understand the Caiyun True Immortal with greater depth, her image slowly aligning with the master he recalled from the Soul Path Dreams.

Following this, the group commenced their journey towards Yun Wanshang’s Qingyun City.

The distance to Qingyun City from their current location was considerable. Although Yun Wanshang possessed several Guardian Falcons, she was hesitant to deploy them recklessly within the perilous depths of this mountain range. Their use would only be feasible once they had successfully exited the mountains, as encountering certain mutated creatures or eerie spirits in these wilds would prove immensely dangerous.

Seven days later, a system notification suddenly resonated within Lu Changsheng’s mind.

[Congratulations, host, your descendants have reached 10,000, granting you an Advanced Lottery opportunity.]

"Hmm!? An Advanced Lottery?"

Lu Changsheng paused, surprised to find that the accomplishment of ten thousand descendants had earned him an advanced token.

He mused, if this trend continued, could he potentially be awarded an advanced lottery every few years?

"I just remembered something," Lu Changsheng offered softly to Yun Wanshang, who glanced his way, before they resumed their travel.

...

A fortnight later.

"Qingyun City lies just ahead."

Standing side-by-side atop a Guardian Falcon, Yun Wanshang and Lu Changsheng were separated by mere feet.

Lu Changsheng could distinctly perceive a delicate fragrance, reminiscent of plum blossoms blooming in the snow, yet possessing a fresh and elegant quality.

For him, possessing a Fourth Rank Physique, the Caiyun True Immortal was completely defenseless at this moment.

Should he harbor any malicious intentions, even with her recovered mana, she would be no match for him.

However, these circumstances revealed an unspoken trust to Lu Changsheng.

Alternatively, perhaps from the very moment they had met and reunited, a bond of trust had quietly begun to form between them.

"Mmm." Before Yun Wanshang could utter another word, Lu Changsheng had already perceived the city before them under the night sky, its brilliance dazzling, shining as brightly as day.

A quarter of an hour later, the Guardian Falcon, akin to a dark meteor, descended from the sky above.

"Salutations, City Lord!"

The guards clad in armor on the city walls offered respectful bows upon sighting Yun Wanshang. Their gazes were filled with a mixture of curiosity and reverence for Lu Changsheng as he disembarked from the Guardian Falcon.

After all, anyone capable of traveling alongside their City Lord was undoubtedly extraordinary!

Lu Changsheng's remarkable looks and bearing certainly suggested he was no commoner!

Together, the pair ventured into the city.

While it was called a city, Qingyun City simply couldn't hold a candle to the grand Immortal Cities found within the Cultivation World, not even measuring up to Dream Immortal City by multiple tiers.

The city's ramparts, constructed entirely of blue stone and etched with numerous array patterns, appeared rather unassuming.

Lu Changsheng understood that these types of arrays were fashioned using Beast Crystals, a far less sophisticated method than the formations found in the true Cultivation World.

Upon arriving at the City Lord Mansion, Yun Wanshang saw to Lu Changsheng's accommodation and stated, "Lu Changsheng, you should take a few days to rest. Afterward, I will help you refine the Tricolored Flower."

"Regarding your spiritual pet, once your mana has recovered somewhat, you can employ the Water Mirror Technique to display its image, and I shall dispatch people to seek it out."

Clad in a vibrant palace gown, Yun Wanshang was statuesque and graceful, yet her presence exuded a gentle calmness, much like a benevolent elder.

"Very well," Lu Changsheng responded with a smile, his mannerisms effortlessly at ease.

...

Three days subsequently passed.

Within the tranquil Cultivation chamber of the City Lord Mansion.

Under Yun Wanshang’s watchful safeguarding, Lu Changsheng carefully unsealed the jade box, extracted a shimmering, luminous petal from the Tricolored Flower, and consumed it.
