Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2156: 582: Yun Wanshang: Kiss Me

Before long, a golden light, akin to a divine rainbow, bisected the vast sky as the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng reappeared. Yun Wanshang, adorned in an elegant, multi-hued palace dress, was seated serenely upon its back, meticulously attuning herself to the profound Spiritual Mechanism of the Heavenly Nascent Soul, poised for a momentous breakthrough. Under ordinary circumstances, the dignified Heavenly Peng Clan would never deign to carry others or yield to their will. However, ever since its association with the master Lu Changsheng, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s ethical boundaries have demonstrably softened. It harbored no aversion to serving as a mount, nor did it shy away from tasks such as bloodletting or pulling chariots. Consequently, bearing Yun Wanshang at this juncture presented no significant psychological impediment. Furthermore, after an extended period together, it had come to recognize Yun Wanshang as its rightful mistress. With her impending breakthrough, was it not natural for it to carry her?

Although Yun Wanshang was engrossed in her cultivation, holding her breath and focusing intently on the mystical Spiritual Mechanism of the Heavenly Nascent Soul, her status as a Core Formation Cultivator afforded her awareness of her surroundings. The instant they entered Split Wind Island, she keenly perceived an immense surge of mana and a terrifying demonic qi saturating the atmosphere. This formidable mana was not alien to her, and she promptly directed her divine sense to investigate. Upon surveying the devastated island, it became starkly evident that a ferocious battle had transpired. In the distance, a colossal carcass, its scale armor scorched and fragmented, spewing forth copious amounts of blood, and showing no flicker of life – a Split Wind Beast – immediately captured her notice. This Split Wind Beast, despite being utterly deceased, still emanated a daunting qi mechanism as profound as an abyss, owing to its standing as a Fourth Rank Demon King.

"A Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King!?" Yun Wanshang's heart skipped a beat, nearly shattering the mystical Spiritual Mechanism of the Heavenly Nascent Soul. This was utterly astonishing! Lu Changsheng had only been here for a brief period, and he had vanquished the island's Fourth Rank Demon King? She had witnessed Lu Changsheng's formidable power in the Sealing Demon Land. Although his cultivation level remained at the Core Formation Peak, it surpassed her own Immortal Golden Core, rivaling that of a Nascent Soul True Lord! Yet, even possessing Fourth Rank Body Refining, comparable to a Nascent Soul True Lord, he should not have been capable of slaying a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King, should he? Especially in such a remarkably short span of time. How had he accomplished this feat? Yun Wanshang was overwhelmed with a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.

Upon observing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng's return with Yun Wanshang, Lu Changsheng, who had been surveying the island's condition, instantly transformed into a streak of divine rainbow light and rapidly approached her. "My Dao Companion," he declared warmly, "you may safely undertake your breakthrough in this location." He then guided Yun Wanshang to the area imbued with the island's most potent spiritual essence, meticulously erected a protective barrier, and established a rudimentary formation to ward off any potential disruptions. Nearby, five cultivators at the Core Formation stage observed Yun Wanshang's arrival. They refrained from intruding, content to watch from a distance, marveling at her. Witnessing Lu Changsheng escort her to the spiritual nexus for her breakthrough, their eyes were filled with palpable envy. Possessing such an exceptionally potent Dao Companion, it was virtually assured that her ascension to the Nascent Soul Stage would be facilitated. After all, with such a partner, resources like Infant Transformation Elixirs and Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects would likely not be an issue, effectively granting her a significant advantage, equivalent to being halfway to the Nascent Soul Stage!

"Hmm!?" At that precise moment, they sensed an approaching presence, detecting a formidable qi mechanism converging upon Split Wind Island. "What is that?" "It bears a curious resemblance to... tribulation clouds?" They gazed, utterly bewildered, at the roiling gray clouds drifting towards the horizon, their expressions a picture of profound confusion. What was transpcursing? Hadn't this powerful figure's Dao Companion only just begun her breakthrough? Why were tribulation clouds manifesting so prematurely? Could it be that the Dao Companion had a twin who was currently undergoing their tribulation? In the ensuing moment, they witnessed a towering puppet, radiating a cold, dark luminescence, slowly descending towards the island, leaving them utterly dumbfounded. Why were there puppets involved? The five turned their attention to the figure clad in green robes nearby, who was holding the Mystic Wood Gourd – the Three Treasures Incarnation. "Little Yan, it is a burden for you to oversee Tihun and this place," the Three Treasures Incarnation stated, stepping forward and nodding towards Qian Zhuyan. His intention was to seize this opportune moment to take control of the island's grand formation. With a casual flick of his wrist, he retrieved numerous Third Rank Puppets from his storage bag. Qian Zhuyan's Puppet Spirit had advanced to the Fourth Rank, resulting in the most substantial improvement being within her Puppet Battle Array. Previously, nine puppets represented her maximum capacity. However, this number could now be doubled! Yet, Lu Changsheng possessed a limited quantity of puppets, with only eleven Third Rank Puppets at his disposal. "Do not worry, Master," Qian Zhuyan replied.

Qian Zhuyan detected subtle, yet unidentifiable differences between the Three Treasures Incarnation and Lu Changsheng himself. Her voice, now hoarse, responded.

With her mechanical arm raised, she asserted control over the eleven Third Rank Puppets positioned before her.

Instantly, a discernible aura of Puppet Power radiated from her, projecting a terrifying and awe-inspiring Fourth Rank qi mechanism.

"Gulp..."

The five Core Formation Cultivators, observing this spectacle, were utterly speechless, finding themselves involuntarily swallowing.

The entire situation felt impossibly surreal.

Today, they had not only witnessed a cultivator confronting a tribulation for his Dao Companion but had also seen him dispatch a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King, the Split Wind Beast, in mere moments.

Furthermore, they beheld a Fourth Rank Puppet and an entourage of eleven Third Rank Puppets.

Since when did Third Rank Puppets become so readily available?

Particularly the one before them, Qian Zhuyan—she was not only an exceptionally rare Fourth Rank Puppet but also appeared to possess genuine spiritual intelligence.

While magical treasures are known to possess spirits, it is rumored that certain advanced puppet secret techniques allow for the implantation of independent spiritual consciousness into their constructs.

Such puppets were believed to exist only in legend, and none of them had ever encountered one.

Exchanging bewildered glances, they were profoundly shocked by the day's unfolding events, their curiosity piqued about Lu Changsheng's true origins.

Not only had he vanquished the Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King Split Wind Beast with such speed, but he also commanded a Quasi-Fourth Rank superior spiritual pet and a Fourth Rank Puppet endowed with spiritual consciousness.

However, before their astonishment could fully subside.

Their gazes were drawn to the roiling tribulation clouds, which had inexplicably halted their advance a few miles offshore from Split Wind Island.

It was then that the realization dawned upon them: there was no cultivator within the tempestuous clouds, only a... rather impudent-looking Macaque Beast.
