Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2141: 576: Sealing Demon Land

After concluding his cultivation, Lu Changsheng, suppressing his elation, finally unsealed the Spiritual Pet Bag only after his training session with Yun Wanshang concluded.

"Whoosh!"

A pitch-black cocoon materialized abruptly.

The moment this ebony cocoon appeared within the confines of the tent, a chilling and sinister Qi Mechanism radiated outward, as if a myriad of anguished souls were emitting their dying screams. This instantly plunged the entire tent into an unnatural cold.

"What in the world is this?"

Yun Wanshang’s exquisite eyes widened with shock and suspicion. She cautiously surveyed the oval, dark cocoon before them.

Had she not witnessed Lu Changsheng retrieving it from the Spiritual Pet Bag, she might have mistaken it for some bizarre, unearthly creature.

"This is my Spiritual Pet," Lu Changsheng declared, his gaze filled with eager anticipation.

Yun Wanshang offered a soft nod, choosing not to press for details. She remained by his side, silently observing the enigmatic black cocoon.

In all their time together, she had never seen Lu Changsheng radiate such palpable happiness and joy.

It was evident that this profound emotion was directly linked to the mysterious black cocoon.

The cocoon began to quiver uncontrollably, as though an entity within was on the verge of breaking free.

After approximately fifteen minutes, a blindingly radiant, dark light suddenly erupted from the cocoon, suffusing the entire tent. Its brilliance even managed to eclipse the luminescence of the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror.

However, this spectacular display was instantly followed by a terrifyingly powerful suction. It acted like an invisible black hole, completely consuming all the emanating dark light and the eerie, spectral energy.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Once the resplendent dark light dissipated, a minuscule macaque-like beast, no more than a few inches in size, with fur the color of molten gold and a conspicuously large nose, presented itself to Lu Changsheng.

At first glance, the evolved Soul-calling Beast appeared largely unchanged.

Yet, as Lu Changsheng cradled it in his palm and examined it closely, he discerned subtle modifications.

The tip of its tail bore a tinge of dark crimson, resembling bloodstains, making it stand out distinctly.

And on the bridge of its prominent nose, a small aperture was visible, discernible only upon intense scrutiny.

"Promoted to Fourth Rank, and this is all?"

Lu Changsheng twitched an eyebrow, questioning the Soul-calling Beast whether it had indeed ascended to the Fourth Rank.

Could it bypass the tribulations of Crossing Tribulation? And was it capable of Transformation?

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The Soul-calling Beast ruffled its fluffy little head, akin to a bewildered child, conveying that it might have promoted, yet it might not have.

As for why it was spared the ordeal of Crossing Tribulation, that too remained a mystery to it.

Transformation? What exactly constituted Transformation?

Having uttered this, it seemed to sense something external. Its dark, gleaming eyes shifted towards the tent’s entrance, betraying an air of excitement.

"..."

Lu Changsheng found himself at a loss for words in response to the Soul-calling Beast's ambiguous and perplexed reply.

What did it mean by being partially promoted? This notion was perplexing.

He surmised that perhaps the current realm precluded the necessity of Crossing Tribulation, thus enabling the Soul-calling Beast’s advancement without a complete ascension.

Furthermore, this situation might be intrinsically linked to the subsequent event he had anticipated.

"Tihun, can your Soul Capturing Divine Light still be utilized?"

Lu Changsheng’s primary concern revolved around this crucial inquiry.

Irrespective of himself, Yun Wanshang, or even the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, their entry into the Land of Eternal Night had rendered their Divine Sense, Qi and Blood, and Mana inert.

Only Qian Zhuyan remained unaffected, retaining the ability to wield Puppet Power.

However, the Soul-calling Beast, being neither demon, nor magic, nor beast, nor ghost, might just remain unfettered by these restrictions.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The Soul-calling Beast emphatically nodded its tiny head in Lu Changsheng’s direction. It then let out a soft snort, and a faint golden aura emanated from its nose, coiling upwards like a majestic Dragon Pillar.

"Lu Changsheng, is this your Spiritual Pet?"

At this precise moment, Yun Wanshang gazed at the macaque beast cradled in Lu Changsheng’s hand, her voice laced with curiosity and astonishment.

She had previously reviewed the intelligence reports provided by Lu Changsheng.

She was aware that Lu Changsheng possessed not only the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng but also a Second Rank demon wolf as his Spiritual Pet.

But what was this endearing, seemingly charm-exuding macaque beast?

Witnessing such a creature emerge from the previously ominous black cocoon, imbued with ghostly energy, left her bewildered and incredulous.

"Indeed, this is Tihun. With its assistance, our potential escape from this predicament will be considerably more secure," Lu Changsheng replied with a smile, gently stroking the diminutive Soul-calling Beast, barely larger than his palm.

Although the Soul-calling Beast typically exuded an aura of cuteness, devoid of any formidable Demon King Qi Mechanism,

when confronted with malevolent magic and ghostly arts, it demonstrated formidable combat prowess, particularly in its battle form, transforming into a fearsome Punishment Beast.

Yun Wanshang offered a slight nod, refraining from further inquiries.

Over the years spent together, she had come to realize that Lu Changsheng’s circumstances consistently defied her comprehension and could not be measured by conventional standards.

Which cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage could boast of possessing a Fourth Rank Physique, a Fourth Rank Puppet, and Third Rank Top-Tier Spiritual Pets?

This was not even taking into account the formidable Great Luo Sword Embryo when employed by him.

Initially, it presented itself as ancient and rugged, much like an unrefined sword embryo awaiting its creation.

However, in the subsequent moment, an explosion of brilliant, interwoven sword light erupted, unleashing its unparalleled sharpness, leaving her utterly astonished.

While she was not a Sword Cultivator herself, her practice involved Sword Taoist Techniques. She recognized Lu Changsheng's Great Luo Sword Embryo as a profound Sword Dao Supreme Treasure, something a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage should be incapable of wielding.

"Tihun, what troubles you?"

Lu Changsheng observed the Soul-calling Beast persistently gazing towards the mountain's depths beyond the tent, inquiring with a frown.

Following the recent encounter with the dark fog, he had become exceptionally wary of the Land of Eternal Night and this perilous Forbidden Mountain.

The mountain's depths, in particular, commanded his utmost caution.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The Soul-calling Beast communicated, indicating a discernible call and attraction emanating from the mountain's interior.

"Calling and attracting, you say?"

Lu Changsheng's thoughts immediately turned to the ancient voice that had previously resonated from the mountain's depths.

"Pay it no mind!"

He sternly commanded the Soul-calling Beast, vigilant against any potential malevolence in the voice.

Having spoken, Lu Changsheng then turned to Yun Wanshang, questioning whether she too had perceived any sounds from the mountain's depths.

Yun Wanshang responded with a shake of her head, signifying her lack of auditory perception of any voices. She then inquired about Lu Changsheng's well-being.

"It is nothing of consequence."

Lu Changsheng dismissed her concern with a shake of his head. He then gently placed the Soul-calling Beast upon his shoulder and proceeded to exit the tent.
