Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2151: 580: Breakthroughs Everywhere! (part 2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
"Heavenly Tribulation Clouds?"
"Is there a heavenly tribulation? Where did this heavenly tribulation come from?"
Lu Changsheng found himself stunned once more, his expression etched with sheer astonishment.
What in the world was happening?
He had only just departed from the Sealing Demon Land, expecting a descent of fortune and merit, not the sudden appearance of a heavenly tribulation!
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
At this very moment, a palm-sized Soul-calling Beast emerged from his sleeve, emitting sounds that indicated its imminent crossing of a tribulation.
"???"
Lu Changsheng had harbored suspicions that the Soul-calling Beast was nearing a tribulation.
However, due to the influence of the Land of Eternal Night, the heavenly tribulation had been shielded.
Who could have foreseen that the moment it left the Land of Eternal Night, its tribulation would descend?
Wasn't this happening far too rapidly?
Furthermore, with two humans, two beasts, and a puppet, it now seemed that two humans along with one beast were on the verge of a breakthrough.
"Little Yan, you aren’t planning to cross a tribulation as well, are you?"
Lu Changsheng suddenly turned his gaze to Qian Zhuyan, who stood beside him, and inquired.
"Master, I do not need to undergo a tribulation."
Qian Zhuyan responded softly, her voice carrying a cold, hoarse quality.
Despite possessing soul consciousness, she remained, in essence, a puppet, thus lacking the requirement for a Fourth Rank heavenly tribulation.
At this juncture, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, positioned nearby, let out a cry, signifying its readiness to attempt a breakthrough to the Fourth Rank.
"..."
In that moment, not only Lu Changsheng was rendered speechless, but Yun Wanshang, standing beside him, was also completely taken aback.
Since when had reaching the Nascent Soul stage and becoming a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King become as commonplace as finding cabbages?
Yet, upon recollecting the Soul-calling Beast's performance within the Land of Eternal Night, its attempt to break through to the Fourth Rank appeared entirely reasonable.
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, though it hadn't displayed much action, had in its early years been capable of suppressing multiple Nascent Soul Immortals from the Yiming Ghost Sect. With such potent bloodline power, achieving a breakthrough to the Fourth Rank was, indeed, perfectly normal.
"Why the sudden rush?"
Lu Changsheng directed his words toward the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, a hint of irritation in his tone.
He then turned his attention back to the Soul-calling Beast, posing a question: "Tihun, will crossing this tribulation without a spirit vein pose any issues for you?"
While demon beasts differed from cultivators and their reliance on spirit veins wasn't as critical, certain requirements still existed.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The Soul-calling Beast promptly shook its head, patting its round belly, indicating that it had feasted sumptuously in the Land of Eternal Night and had no need for a spirit vein.
"Very well, proceed with your tribulation right here."
Upon receiving this assurance, Lu Changsheng directly tossed the Soul-calling Beast forward, allowing it to face its tribulation on the spot.
He then addressed Yun Wanshang, stating, "True Immortal, Tihun is about to face a tribulation. We should maintain a distance to avoid being tainted by tribulation energy."
As he spoke, he gently clasped Yun Wanshang's fair and soft hand. Together, accompanied by the Heavenly Peng and the puppet, they shifted to a safer distance. He continued, "True Immortal, although we have encountered the heavenly Nascent Soul opportunity, the current situation remains uncertain, and the absence of a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein makes it unsuitable for a breakthrough at this moment."
Despite the unparalleled fortune presented by a heavenly Nascent Soul opportunity.
For Lu Changsheng, attaining the Nascent Soul realm had never presented a significant challenge, rendering him rather indifferent to the prospect. He felt it would be prudent to observe the situation before acting.
"The spiritual energy here is exceptionally dense; it is highly probable that a high-ranking spirit vein is situated nearby, perhaps on a Fourth-tier Island."
Yun Wanshang, serving as the Enforcement Hall Master of the Qingyun Sect and possessing the cultivation of a Nascent Soul Immortal, was naturally exceptionally perceptive and skilled in the art of spirit vein surveying.
Consequently, by discerning the nature of the spiritual energy permeating the area, she deduced the likely proximity of a high-ranking spirit vein.
"Lu Changsheng, you should now circulate your cultivation technique in accordanceance with the spiritual flow and prepare yourself. I shall depart to ascertain the status of the spirit vein. If a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein is indeed present, then after Tihun concludes its breakthrough, you may proceed directly with your own."
Yun Wanshang's beautiful eyes flashed with a determined light as she declared, "With Tihun and Fellow Daoist Qianzhu present, merely borrowing the spirit vein for a breakthrough should pose no significant risk."
Throughout the chronicles of their time in the Land of Eternal Night, it had almost invariably been Lu Changsheng who provided care and looked out for her well-being.
Now that they had successfully exited the Land of Eternal Night and both had stumbled upon the rare opportunity for a heavenly Nascent Soul, yet the conditions were insufficient for them both to achieve Nascent Soul simultaneously.
She instantly resolved to forgo the immediate heavenly Nascent Soul opportunity, electing instead to allow Lu Changsheng to make preparations for his own breakthrough.
She was about to halt the cultivation technique and quell this mysterious convergence of fate, yet the mana flowing from Lu Changsheng’s hand, which clasped hers, thwarted her intentions. Her countenance shifted dramatically as she observed Lu Changsheng’s azure robes billowing under the surge of mana. "Since a high-grade spirit vein has appeared, allow me to investigate. True Immortal, you shall remain here and prepare. Once Tihun achieves their breakthrough, proceed with your own directly." Lu Changsheng released his grip on the nascent Heavenly Nascent Soul mechanism, which was manifesting for the second time, and offered Yun Wanshang a smile. He sensed that achieving a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage in this location was excessively perilous and ill-suited for such a momentous event. However, Yun Wanshang differed from him. This form of Heavenly Nascent Soul was, for her, the most paramount opportunity! Should it slip through her grasp, it might foster future regrets. Presently, with Qian Zhuyan having already ascended to the Fourth Rank, and with himself, the Golden Peng, and the tribulation-crossing Tihun by her side, he could safeguard her if she truly decided to attempt the Nascent Soul. "Lu Changsheng, you..." Witnessing Lu Changsheng directly suppress and forgo the Heavenly Nascent Soul opportunity for her sake, Yun Wanshang was taken aback. Subsequently, her expression turned flustered as she spoke, her body trembling. "Why are you so rash? This is a Heavenly Nascent Soul opportunity!" Yun Wanshang’s voice quivered as she voiced her words, feeling a pang of regret for Lu Changsheng. Despite their profound closeness, akin to a devoted couple within the Land of Eternal Night, Due to their initial acquaintance and Xiao Xiyue's connection, she subconsciously still perceived Lu Changsheng as a junior. Having personally witnessed Lu Changsheng's exceptional innate talent, she harbored a measure of hope for him. Therefore, seeing him relinquish the Heavenly Nascent Soul opportunity elicited a complex mix of emotions within her. "This is a Heavenly Nascent Soul opportunity, thus True Immortal, you must remain unswayed by sentiment, be it extreme joy or profound sorrow; you ought to embrace this spiritual convergence and prepare for your breakthrough." Lu Changsheng’s comely visage was graced with a subtle smile, his demeanor warm and gentle as he imparted these words. "Little Yan, Golden Peng, stand guard over Tihun and Caiyun True Immortal." Lu Changsheng gently released Yun Wanshang’s jade-like hand and addressed the towering automaton and the golden roc beside him. Following this, with golden glyphs intricately weaving within his pupils, he surveyed their surroundings. Even though his Dragon Seeking Art had only reached the Second Rank, as a Fourth Rank Divination Master, he could still discern the prevailing spiritual convergence of the area through the Qi Observation Technique.
