Lu Changsheng learns his daughter, Mu Que, has endured hardships and nearly died breaking through to the Ninth Level Energy Refinement. He suspects the Azure Phoenix True Monarch encountered danger, leading to their separation. Meanwhile, Qian Zhuyan confronts a Fourth Rank Demon King who arrives as she prepares to cross her tribulation.

Especially her intrinsic abilities, be it soaring towards the heavens or plunging into the depths of the sea, knew no bounds, rendering her exceedingly difficult to vanquish.

"The Demon King spoke of the Split Wind Beast; if indeed it is the proprietor of this claw, then our suspicions are confirmed."

Qian Zhuyan affirmed with a voice that was both chilling and raspy.

Following confirmation from the Fourth Rank Snake King, its emerald-black irises dilated with dread, and it fell silent, promptly securing the Split Wind Beast's claw before vanishing into the ocean, opting for a tactical retreat.

Irrespective of the absolute truth of the matter, the fact stood that Split Wind Island was now under subjugation, and the Split Wind Beast was deceased, sufficient indications that Qian Zhuyan's might could not be easily dismissed.

Observing the Snake King's withdrawal, Lu Changsheng offered a subtle nod of his head but did not let down his guard, continuing to wield the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to scan the surrounding environment.

Moments trickled by. Yun Wanshang's progress in her breakthrough was significantly swifter than Jingqing Zhenren’s, yet transcending from Core Formation to Nascent Soul inevitably imposed its own pace, regardless of speed.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

With how much time elapsed, none could truly ascertain, yet the frequency of tremors originating from Split Wind Island intensified, and the island began to convulse violently.

Lu Changsheng’s countenance radiated with burgeoning joy.

He recognized that Yun Wanshang was on the cusp of shattering her Golden Core and establishing her Nascent Soul.

She was drawing upon the Earth Vein's Qi with fervent intensity to refine her Golden Core, thereby initiating the pill's shattering and the subsequent birth of her Nascent Soul!

In the transformative phase from Core Formation to Nascent Soul, the superior the caliber of the Golden Core, the more arduous the process of shattering the pill and giving rise to the Nascent Soul, and correspondingly, the more significant the ensuing disturbance.

Thus, inferring from the commotion generated by Yun Wanshang, it was evident that her attainment far surpassed that of Jingqing Zhenren.

Nevertheless, based on Lu Changsheng's prior understanding, typical Fourth Rank Immortal Cities or even Nascent Soul-level powers would seldom permit external cultivators to lease Spirit Veins and recklessly attempt a breakthrough to Nascent Soul in such a manner.

The reason being that such an aggressive entanglement with the Earth Vein's Qi could inflict substantial damage upon the Spirit Vein, potentially requiring decades and numerous Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to recuperate fully.

One could only conclude that possession of one's own Spirit Vein, particularly a high-grade one, was an indispensable advantage.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

As Split Wind Island quaked with extreme intensity, Lu Changsheng suddenly perceived a peculiar Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Mechanism manifesting ahead.

It was as if the ethereal phantom of a celestial goddess was dimly taking shape.

The immense spiritual energy of the natural world seemed to momentarily halt its flow during that precise instant.

"Pill Shatter Infant Formation!"

Even though Lu Changsheng had only observed Jingqing Zhenren’s attempt at achieving Nascent Soul from a distance in the past,

through the barrier ahead, discerning the formation emanating a pure, nascent Nascent Soul Qi Mechanism, he knew with certainty that Yun Wanshang had successfully completed the initial stage!

Hereafter, she merely needed to withstand the Nascent Soul Tribulation to ascend into the upper echelons of the cultivation world as a distinguished Nascent Soul True Lord!

However, concurrently, the demonic beasts in the vicinity of Split Wind Island, along with all the dormant Fourth Rank Demon Kings, were converging towards this location, emitting ferocious roars.

In a realm such as the Forbidden Sea, the fluctuations in spiritual energy generated by cultivation served as an undeniable beacon, readily drawing the attention of the surrounding demonic beasts.

Now that Yun Wanshang had successfully formed her Nascent Soul, the newly born, pristine Nascent Soul Qi Mechanism presented an irresistible allure to the demonic beasts!

Numerous Third Rank Demon Kings harbored intentions of exploiting this precise moment, aiming to devour her nascent soul and thereby achieve further advancement.

"So many?"

Despite Lu Changsheng having braced himself mentally, anticipating that Yun Wanshang's breakthrough to Nascent Soul would inevitably draw a considerable number of demonic beasts and Demon Kings, he could not suppress a furrowing of his brow.

To say nothing of the Third Rank Demon Kings.

He observed no fewer than three Fourth Rank Demon Kings alone!

Furthermore, the formidable Fourth Rank Snake King, having previously reaped benefits from this locale, had made a return.

Lu Changsheng, gripping the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror protectively, his eyes blazing with an intensely serious gaze, realized that repelling these Demon Kings, as had been possible before, was now an insurmountable task.

"True Master, dedicate your focus to overcoming the tribulation; I shall resolve the external predicament. This armor will prove invaluable during your tribulation, and accept this drop of Qilin Blood Marrow, ensuring the safety of our child."

Lu Changsheng rose to his feet, propelled the Nine Abysses Xuanwu Armor and the Qilin Blood Marrow towards Yun Wanshang, who was within the protective Barrier Formation, and then vanished abruptly.

Yun Wanshang's beautiful eyes fluttered open, a look of profound astonishment gracing her features.

How could this impertinent rogue possibly know of her pregnancy?

It was only after the fetus had been fully nurtured that she herself had become aware of her condition.

Nevertheless, with her nascent soul now formed, she possessed but a fleeting window of opportunity for her physical form, spiritual energy, and soul to undergo the essential metamorphosis, leaving her utterly devoid of time to engage in conversation with Lu Changsheng.

Her gaze fell upon the Nine Abysses Xuanwu Armor and the Qilin Blood Marrow positioned before her. A fleeting moment of hesitation crossed her features, but she ultimately extended her hand and accepted them.

The Heavenly Tribulation for Nascent Soul cultivation permits absolutely no room for error or negligence.

Especially considering the current circumstances... she was no longer solitary in this endeavor.

"Could this truly be a Spiritual Treasure!?"

Yun Wanshang's eyes widened in astonishment as she examined the Nine Abysses Xuanwu Armor, her exquisite face a mask of disbelief. Her gaze then shifted towards the departing silhouette of Lu Changsheng.

To her surprise, he had bestowed upon her another piece of Spiritual Treasure Armor.

It was undoubtedly his own tribulation artifact, a treasure he had prepared for his own trials.

Yet, at this critical juncture... he had relinquished all of it to her.

Yun Wanshang lifted her eyes, observing the ominous gray tribulation clouds that were steadily gathering and swirling in the expansive celestial dome. A profound sense of weighty responsibility settled upon her.

Without further deliberation, she proceeded to take the Qilin Blood Marrow that lay before her.

While this single drop of blood marrow was an incredibly precious and exceptionally rare item,

she had already received an overwhelming abundance of Lu Changsheng's kindness, favors that were nigh impossible to fully repay. Therefore, at this moment, there was no need for her to dwell on the significance of such gifts.

Furthermore, given her unexpected pregnancy, she genuinely required Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to fortify her being.

Otherwise, should she expend all her mana to confront the tribulation, it might inadvertently bring harm to the developing fetus.

Had it not been for the immense difficulty Nascent Soul cultivators faced in conceiving, and the memory of the child, Lu Yunxiao, glimpsed within her Soul Path Dreams, she might have harbored more reservations about this pregnancy.

After all, even a minor misstep in such delicate matters held the potential to endanger both herself and the unborn child.

"These are... an astonishing number of demon beasts, even Demon Kings."

"Attempting to break through to Nascent Soul within the Forbidden Sea is akin to directly challenging these formidable Demon Kings."

"It's hopeless, utterly hopeless."

The five scattered Nascent Soul cultivators, who were assisting in guarding Split Wind Island's Great Formation, stood around with ashen faces.

They were well aware that attempting to cross tribulations within the Forbidden Sea was fraught with extreme peril, often inciting fierce assaults from numerous demon beasts.

However, they had never anticipated that, in addition to a multitude of Third Rank Demon Kings, such a significant number of Fourth Rank Demon Kings would also make an appearance!
