Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2140: 575: The Soul-calling Beast Awakens!

Lu Changsheng's palm brushed gently over his flat abdomen.
"Lu Changsheng! I'm warning you, don't push your luck!"
Despite being outmatched by Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanshang still carried the dignity of a former Enforcement Hall Master.
"True Man, we're in this together. Whether we can leave this place alive is still uncertain. Why must you always hold back?"
Lu Changsheng let out a soft sigh, "I genuinely wish to understand your heart."
He continued to probe Yun Wanshang with his words, much like Ling Xiaodong's persistent testing of Zheng Yiyun's limits, aiming for a complete conquest of both her body and heart.
Lu Changsheng knew very well that if he couldn't completely win Yun Wanshang over in the Land of Eternal Night, her nature, coupled with her knowledge of Chu Qingyi, would likely prevent her from seeing him again once they were out, making further interaction difficult.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanshang felt an unseen force constricting her heart.
How could she not grasp Lu Changsheng's intentions?
She was acutely aware of his thoughts and goals.
Yet, after over two years of interaction and shared conversations, she had come to understand that Lu Changsheng had not only an unusual connection with disciple Xiao Xiyue but also with disciple Chu Qingyi.
Under such circumstances, how could she, as their master, possibly be with him...
If not for being trapped in the Land of Eternal Night, finding themselves in this predicament, and having just experienced the Illusion Realm with a fragile state of mind, she would never have been able to convince herself to engage in Dual Cultivation with Lu Changsheng for healing.
But in this moment, Lu Changsheng's words resonated deep within her soul.
Whether the two of them would emerge from this Forbidden Mountain alive and escape this place remained an open question.
Although they possessed great confidence in their ability to survive by awakening their Qi and Blood Magical Power and then tearing open the void to depart, who could truly say for certain...
For instance, her knowledge of tearing open the sky was based purely on hearsay, never personally witnessed.
If they were to perish here, unable to return to the outside world, then both the Nascent Soul Great Dao and this burgeoning emotional entanglement would amount to nothing more than an illusory dream.
Sensing Yun Wanshang's body stiffen slightly, Lu Changsheng gently stated, "True Man, Changsheng understands your feelings."
Having spoken, he didn't press further but lowered his head to kiss her glossy red lips, gently cultivating. He understood that such matters were deeply personal and couldn't be forced.
Facing Lu Changsheng now, Yun Wanshang's demeanor softened considerably, the icy defenses around her heart seemingly melting away.
...
Cultivation, unbound by time.
Unbeknownst to them, Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang had been cultivating together for half a year.
Where diligence is applied, rewards naturally follow.
After six months of Dual Cultivation, both had seen significant improvements, especially Yun Wanshang.
However, perhaps due to their secluded location deep within the mountains, they had encountered no mutated beasts or strange entities during this period.
Given this, Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang saw no reason to relocate.
The primary consideration was that they had no clue which areas in these perilous mountains might be safe.
Furthermore, with both unsure of their exact position within the vast mountain range and uncertain of the direction to leave, continuing their cultivation seemed the most prudent course of action.
Throughout this time, Lu Changsheng distributed a considerable portion of the Spiritual Medicines he had gathered, consuming some himself and with Yun Wanshang, while the remainder was allocated to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
Upon entering this realm, the latter had also experienced suppression, but if even a fraction of its demonic power could be awakened, allowing it to unleash its Physical Body Divine Abilities, its combat prowess would be immensely amplified.
One day, Lu Changsheng detected a stirring from within his Spiritual Pet Bag.
It was the Soul-calling Beast!
Ever since the Soul-calling Beast had entered a deep slumber, slowly forming a cocoon of shimmering black light, it had remained completely still.
Previously, in moments of extreme peril, he had even contemplated summoning the Soul-calling Beast for protection, but the black cocoon had offered no response.
"Has the Soul-calling Beast advanced to Fourth Rank?"
A flutter of joy and anticipation stirred within Lu Changsheng's heart.
The Soul-calling Beast possessed the ability to restrain numerous malevolent spirits and ghosts, capable of directly consuming them if they were of a similar cultivation level, even Ghost Kings.
The peculiar entities inhabiting this place bore a resemblance to Ghost Cultivators and vengeful spirits.
Should the Soul-calling Beast awaken, it would provide him with a formidable ally, alleviating concerns about lurking dangers.
