Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2131: 572: (2)

This particular poison, while not insurmountable, still possesses a certain intimidating effect.

"Poison?"

Yun Wanshang looked at Lu Changsheng’s methods with great surprise.

Had he also cultivated Poison Dao Divine Ability?

At his age, possessing such a cultivation level was already astounding; where would he find the time and energy to cultivate divine skills?

Moreover, Lu Changsheng’s mana belonged to the Yin Yang Attribute, which was repellent to Poison Dao Divine Ability, so even if he cultivated it, the results would be twice the effort for half the effect.

"The next stop, Xuanwu City."

Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang did not plan to return but continued to advance to the next city.

After selecting the city, Lu Changsheng tossed the Divination Coin for a simple divination.

Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes showed doubt as she looked at Lu Changsheng in surprise.

If she could understand Poison Dao techniques,

then what on earth was this divination?

It was known that among the Hundred Arts of cultivation, divination was the most mysterious and profound.

Moreover, wasn’t the Lu Changsheng in front of her a Talisman Master?

Where did he find so much time and energy?

Lu Changsheng did not respond, but after a moment, seeing the divinatory symbols were steady and calm, without danger, he calmly put away the Divination Coin and chuckled, "I researched it a bit in my spare time and just played around with it."

"..."

Even though Lu Changsheng’s tone was casual, Yun Wanshang remained doubtful.

Yet her understanding told her that having cultivated for over a hundred years, he couldn’t possibly have had so much time and energy.

Lu Changsheng did not offer further explanation, and after resting for two days, the group resumed their journey, heading to the next city.

Having barely recovered their mana, Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan were like invincible existences, conquering six cities in merely half a month.

In no time, the entire Land of Eternal Night was in an uproar, and everyone knew that a top-level Outer Heaven powerhouse had arrived.

This kind of event had occurred before.

Whenever a Nascent Soul True Lord fell into the Land of Eternal Night and recovered their mana, it would shock the world.

...

Meanwhile, in a city bright as daylight.

A stunning woman, dressed in a dark red palace dress with a yingluo crown atop her head and skin as fair as snow, looked at the handsome man in the green robe in the painting before her, her flirtatious almond eyes reflecting a hint of coldness.

Although Lu Changsheng’s disguise and camouflage completely broke after entering the Land of Eternal Night, the Six Paths Demon Consort from the White Bone Demon Palace had already seen through his true appearance at the time.

So, upon seeing the painting of Lu Changsheng, she instantly recognized him as the one who had pinned her down...

Even without seeing through the disguise and camouflage, she could have recognized him immediately through the presence of Qian Zhuyan and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng beside him.

After all, had it not been for Qian Zhuyan, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, Lu Changsheng would not have been her match even if she were not at her peak condition.

"How did he recover so much strength in such a short time?"

The Six Paths Demon Consort appeared gorgeous and seductive, yet her countenance turned dignified and graceful, with a hint of puzzlement crossing her perfectly beautiful face.

Having entered the Land of Eternal Night, she adapted quickly, thanks to the Ghostly Soul Maidens and the Dao Soldiers, and her knowledge of some of the land’s secrets.

But how had the other party recovered so quickly?

"He possesses a Fourth Rank Physique, and puppets in this world are not suppressed, while that Golden Peng Bird has a ferociously strong physical body, comparable to top-level mutant creatures..."

The Six Paths Demon Consort pondered whether she should seize this opportunity to take revenge and turn Lu Changsheng into a corpse demon, a ghost spirit.

But recalling the dragon-like strength of his physique, the presence of Qian Zhuyan, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and the Soul-calling Beast that devoured her Fourth Rank ghost pet, she temporarily dismissed the idea.

She was even considering lying low for the moment, planning to tackle Lu Changsheng once she had awakened enough dormant mana.

Otherwise, if her revenge failed and she ended up defeated by him again...

Scenes from that previous encounter in the White Bone Palace quietly resurfaced in the mind of the Six Paths Demon Consort.

Her naturally alluring and charming eyes suddenly sparkled with a touch of mystery as if she were somewhat enchanted, and her flawless jade hand instinctively moved towards her skirt.

Recalling her state at that moment, Lu Changsheng’s unwavering resolve and actions against her caused her expression to turn icy, her entire being enveloped by a terrifying aura of killing intent.

This man absolutely had to die!

"According to the former owner of this handbook, this world conceals far more than what is readily apparent; there must be some hidden truth. With my current strength, I might stand a chance at uncovering the secrets of this land..."

The Six Paths Demon Consort gracefully stood, her gaze fixed upon the vast, ink-black mountains. She murmured, her crystal shoes, reminiscent of the Manzhu Shahu flower, accentuating her captivating and alluring form.

...

Lu Changsheng remained entirely unfazed by the situation involving the Six Paths Demon Consort.

If he hadn't encountered Yun Wanshang, and subsequently discovered the system's possibility of an additional child, he might have shown some concern for the Demon Consort's condition.

However, upon learning of the potential child, with a one-in-three chance being fathered by him and the Six Paths Demon Consort, any desire to interact with her vanished.

After all, avoiding an encounter with her was a stroke of luck for him.

What would he do if they met and she threatened him using the child?

Moreover, his relationship with Yun Wanshang was steadily deepening.

If he sought her assistance for information regarding the Six Paths Demon Consort, and Yun Wanshang discovered his connection to the Demon Consort, it could jeopardize their budding relationship.

It was important to remember that Yun Wanshang, as a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage from the Qingyun Sect, harbored a degree of prejudice and animosity towards the Demon Path.

This was especially true for a figure like the Six Paths Demon Consort, a True Monarch of the highest caliber within the Demonic Path.

Lu Changsheng, alongside Yun Wanshang, Qian Zhuyan, and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, systematically brought all the cities surrounding Qingyun City under their control.

Nevertheless, despite dedicating considerable time and effort, the rewards reaped were rather mediocre.

The outcome was less fruitful than their prior expedition with Yun Wanshang into the Forbidden Mountain Range.

This current strategy could be described as one suited for a gradual, stable approach.

In the foreseeable future, as long as he and Yun Wanshang focused on their cultivation within Qingyun City, they could anticipate a consistent stream of spiritual resources.

In his own words, if there were no pressing need to depart, Lu Changsheng wouldn't mind spending his days alongside Yun Wanshang, allowing their feelings to blossom over time.

Yet, four years had already passed since he left his home to traverse the Starry Sky Sea, and nearly two years had elapsed since being drawn into the Land of Eternal Night.

At the current rate, who could say when he might finally return home?

Pondering these thoughts, he resolved to once again venture into the Forbidden Mountain for further exploration, aiming to restore his mana as much as possible before attempting to break through the sky’s veil and depart this realm.

"I will accompany you,"

During their shared time, Yun Wanshang had perceived Lu Changsheng’s deep-seated homesickness and his intense desire to leave their current location.

Without delay, the two of them, accompanied by one puppet and the Peng bird, departed from the luminous city, heading towards the darkness-shrouded Forbidden Mountain.

...

One year later.

Throughout this extensive period, Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang, along with Qian Zhuyan and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, persistently journeyed through the Forbidden Mountain, in pursuit of rare spiritual products.

Although they had been well-prepared with ample supplies, after a full year of deep exploration, their provisions were nearly exhausted.

The primary issue was that the availability of spiritual products within such a Forbidden Mountain was not infinite.

As their search intensified, the scarcity of rare spiritual products grew, making it necessary to await the emergence and maturation of celestial and earthly energies.

On this particular day, Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng were on watch, granting Yun Wanshang and Qian Zhuyan the opportunity to rest and recover their energy through sleep.

While cultivators could indeed forgo rest for considerable durations,

periods of severe mental exhaustion and depleted spiritual essence made deep sleep the most effective method of recuperation.

Especially within the notoriously perilous Forbidden Mountain Range, where maintaining constant vigilance demanded significant mental fortitude, Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang diligently strove to preserve their strength.

Lu Changsheng’s gaze fell upon Yun Wanshang, who lay beside him, adorned in a vibrant, multi-colored palace gown. Her form was elegantly curved, exuding grace, yet he felt no carnal desire; his thoughts inevitably turned towards home.

This marked his longest separation from home, and the longing had naturally intensified.

Despite his strenuous efforts, even venturing into such forbidden depths in search of spiritual products that might aid in mana recovery, he found himself unable to hasten his return home.

Suddenly, from the deepest recesses of the pitch-black, unending mountains, an indescribable mist surged outward like an overwhelming tide.

This boundless, dark mist emanated an aura of profound stillness, an eerie silence laden with the chilling intent of death.

"What is this... this isn't good!"

A wave of unease washed over Lu Changsheng as he beheld the encroaching mist, compelling him to instantly rouse Qian Zhuyan and Yun Wanshang, urging them to make haste and escape.

Yet, the dark miasma advanced with overwhelming might, blanketing the heavens like a surging tide, and in a flash, it consumed both him and Yun Wanshang.
