Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2152: 580: Successive Breakthroughs! (part 3)

As Yun Wanshang had articulated, a Fourth-tier Island should lie approximately a hundred miles ahead.

Perhaps his luck was on the rise, as he could even perceive a favorable omen emanating from the island's direction!

Yun Wanshang lightly pressed her red lips together, her gaze upon Lu Changsheng filled with a complex emotion.

"Rest assured, I shall return."

Lu Changsheng's eyes, now shimmering with golden light, projected an aura of divine majesty as he uttered these words.

Subsequently, he employed the Inverted Yin Yang Glaze, soaring towards the distant Fourth-tier Island.

...

Split Wind Island.

This island earned its name from its current proprietor, a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King known as the Split Wind Beast!

While Demon Kings at the Fourth Rank possess the capability to transform, only a select few choose to maintain a human form; the majority persist in their original beastly appearances.

However, the master of this particular island deviates from the norm.

Post-transformation, not only does he actively engage with cultivators of the human race, but he also diligently practices divine skills and conceals his bestial characteristics, integrating himself into the world of cultivation to study the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.

Unlike numerous other Demon King island cave mansions, this one lacks any concealing formations.

Yet, Sky Splitting Island is protected by a formidable Third Rank Great Formation!

Although deploying a Third Rank Lower Grade formation on a Fourth-tier island might seem modest, within the confines of the Forbidden Sea's vicinity, it is a remarkably uncommon occurrence.

At this precise moment, Lu Changsheng observed the approaching Sky Splitting Island, a sense of bewilderment clouding his thoughts.

"The island remains undeveloped, yet it is fortified with a formation. Could it be that a Nascent Soul Cultivator is in seclusion here for their cultivation?"

Lu Changsheng found himself pondering this unusual circumstance.

A Fourth Rank Spiritual Land is a treasure of immense value, regardless of its location.

From a prior discussion with Shen Yiren, he understood that virtually all Fourth-tier Islands within the Starry Sky Sea are already claimed.

One could only venture into the Forbidden Sea to locate an unclaimed Fourth Rank Spiritual Land.

Considering he stumbled upon such a rare find by chance, could it imply he was no longer within the Starry Sky Sea?

"No, this is unequivocally within the Starry Sky Sea."

Lu Changsheng engaged his fingers in calculation, a slight frown creasing his brow.

Recalling the recent auspicious omens of fortune and opportunity, he released the Divination Coin once more to further scrutinize the island's circumstances.

Fortunate!

Remarkably auspicious, and potentially even supremely auspicious!

Lu Changsheng experienced a jolt of surprise.

The island before him harbored exceptionally favorable omens, possibly reaching the pinnacle of auspiciousness!

He was aware that, for him, a highly auspicious omen signified an opportunity at the Nascent Soul level.

As for supremely auspicious omens, these definitively pertained to chances of the highest caliber for achieving Nascent Soul!

"Could this possibly be the secluded abode of a Nascent Soul True Lord who has long since passed?"

Lu Changsheng mused, his anticipation for the island escalating rapidly. He then directed a query to A Wu, inquiring whether anyone occupied the island.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!"

The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror vibrated intensely, emitting flows of sunlight and moonlight. After a brief interval, the mirror displayed a reflected image.

Within a colossal natural cavern on the island, molten earth fire of a deep crimson hue seethed and burned, pervading every recess.

A gaunt individual, clad in a dark blue scale-adorned robe and sporting a golden coronet, was observed directing five cultivators in the intricate process of refining treasures.

Their objective was to amalgamate five magical treasures, each comparable in size to a small mountain, into a single, unified artifact.

It was evident that the treasure refinement was nearing its culmination; the five miniature mountains were gradually coalescing under the diligent guidance of the five cultivators, emitting a mysterious, five-colored luminescence.

"Is this the refinement of a Five Elements Combination Treasure?"

Possessing the skills of a Third Rank Top Level Refiner, Lu Changsheng instantly recognized aspects of the methodology.

This process undoubtedly involved the initial forging of five paramount magical treasures, followed by their fusion into one, thereby elevating them to the Spiritual Treasure tier.

Observing the mirror, Lu Changsheng's gaze fell upon the scale-armored hands of the gaunt individual, and his brow furrowed.

This particular person struck him as rather peculiar.

"A Wu?"

Lu Changsheng promptly addressed A Wu.

"Demonic Qi."

A Wu responded with an impassive tone, indicating that this individual was most likely a Transformed Demon King, rather than a cultivator from the human race.

"Indeed."

Lu Changsheng comprehended, realizing that the figure before him was, in fact, a Transformed Demon King.

The other five individuals were likely Nascent Soul Cultivators, each channeling the Five Elements Techniques—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—to facilitate the final stage of refining this Spiritual Treasure.

"It is indeed uncommon for cultivators to assist a Demon King in refining treasures."

While Demon Kings are capable of utilizing magical treasures and talismans.

For demonic beasts, their physical forms represent their most potent weapons, their inherent treasures.

Through their arduous growth, they can continuously refine their fangs, claws, and scale armor by assimilating Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Thus, across his extensive years of cultivation, Lu Changsheng had never encountered a Demon King employing a magical treasure, let alone seeking out cultivators for the purpose of treasure refinement.

The current turn of events caused Lu Changsheng to furrow his brow slightly, utterly perplexed as to where his supposed good fortune lay.

Could it be that he needed to assist in refining the treasure, thereby earning the Demon King's favor, and then leverage this Fourth-tier Island to advance to the Nascent Soul stage?

Securing this island and aiding Tihun, Yun Wanshang, and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng in their breakthroughs would indeed qualify as exceptionally auspicious.

However, Lu Changsheng harbored a feeling that the situation was far from straightforward.

To speak of nothing else, observing the unfolding scene, the five-colored miniature mountain treasure was nearing completion.

At this precise moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly witnessed a dramatic shift in the Transformed Demon King's demeanor within the mirror. Tiny eyes began to emit an eerie green luminescence, the mouth agape, and the face contorted into a ferocious visage.

Immediately afterward, he clutched his head, letting out a pained roar before falling to his knees. His slender frame began to expand uncontrollably, revealing a pair of immense, silver-blue wings unfurling from his shoulders.

"Now is the time!"

With expressions etched in exhaustion, the five cultivators who had been refining the treasure rose simultaneously, directing the still-incomplete five-colored miniature mountain to bear down upon the Transformed Demon King before them.

"BOOM!!!"

A resounding, earth-shattering explosion erupted.

Even the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror was temporarily obscured, filled with the blinding radiance of the five-colored miniature mountain.

Yet, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror was no longer necessary.

Lu Changsheng's eyes, intricately patterned with golden runes, pierced through the Rank Three Great Formation. He perceived a massive disturbance, akin to a collapse within the depths of a hidden rock cave on the island.

"Is this a betrayal? Or perhaps the five cultivators orchestrated an ambush to eliminate the Transformed Demon King?"

Lu Changsheng's brow furrowed slightly as he contemplated the possibilities.

Regardless of how this situation ultimately resolved, this Fourth-tier Island was now definitively under my requisition!
