Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2174: 586: 2

Furthermore, without Lu Changsheng’s Infant Transformation Elixir, the Golden Small Tripod, and the Nine Abysses Xuanwu Armor, her Nascent Soul cultivation would not have been achieved so smoothly. While she might have reached Earth Dao Nascent Soul, it certainly wouldn't be to this current level. Of course, she believed the most probable outcome was that she would have perished during the Demonic Tribulation. She mused that if she hadn't accepted Lu Changsheng wholeheartedly, with a clear mind and borne his child, the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation would not have inflicted so much damage; she had previously estimated an eighty percent chance of falling to the Demonic Tribulation, even with the Heavenly Dao Infant Condensing Opportunity. Consequently, her emotions towards Lu Changsheng were now exceedingly complex, leaving her utterly unsure of how to repay him.

"Haha, as Dao companions, we should naturally support each other." Lu Changsheng chuckled broadly, his gaze warm and soft. He then inquired, "Is the child alright?" With that, he moved closer, intending to sense the fetus within Yun Wanshang’s belly. Yun Wanshang immediately used a Great Hand of Magical Power to push Lu Changsheng away, her face flushing as she exclaimed, "What are you doing!?"

Although she had accepted Lu Changsheng during her breakthrough, she had done so in a state of solitary desperation. Now, facing such intimate gestures, she still felt a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, cultivators possessed Divine Sense; he could simply use that, so why act like an ordinary person? This scoundrel was deliberately teasing her!

"I'm just checking on our child, aren't I?" Lu Changsheng replied, a little speechless. Despite being long-time companions, she was still as bashful as a young maiden. Not far away, Qian Zhuyan observed the crisis being resolved and the couple beginning to flirt, the Soul Fire within her eyes flickering subtly. Early in her existence, her soul had merged into a puppet, half-transforming into a Puppet Spirit, causing her emotions to be nearly submerged by hatred, turning her into a mere instrument of vengeance. It was only after interacting with Lu Changsheng and his persistent refinement of the Puppet Spirit Soul's negative emotions through the "Six Desires Heart Demon Technique" that she gradually regained some semblance of human feeling. Initially, these emotions were quite faint. However, ever since arriving in the Land of Eternal Night and witnessing the affectionate interactions between Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang day after day, she unknowingly became increasingly emotionally turbulent, even experiencing jealousy and displeasure. Her condition improved somewhat after the Puppet Spirit advanced to the Fourth Rank, allowing her to barely suppress the twisted emotions that resembled those of an early-stage ghost cultivator. This also contributed to her annoyance at witnessing the intimate demeanor of Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang. While she and others had toiled tirelessly for so long, the pair only needed to meet to indulge in tender sentiments and flirtation! Yet, she harbored no resentment towards Yun Wanshang, only... envy. She envied her beautiful appearance, figure, and talent. Not only had she broken through to Nascent Soul, but she was also greatly cherished by their master. She often felt Yun Wanshang did not truly appreciate her good fortune. At this moment, a thought suddenly surfaced in Qian Zhuyan's mind—whether her future Puppet Body upgrade should involve mimicking a humanoid form. With her Puppet Skills, crafting and refining her Puppet Body into her former image was entirely feasible. The sole drawback was that such a transformation would limit the puppet's combat capabilities, making it inferior to its current state. For a moment, Qian Zhuyan found herself in a quandary.

...

Lu Changsheng utilized his Divine Sense to examine the fetus in Yun Wanshang’s belly, ascertaining that it had not been adversely affected by the tribulation. In fact, it had benefited immensely from the spiritual essence of the Qilin Blood Marrow and the baptism of its mother's tribulation. It could be said that these benefits alone guaranteed that this child's future talent would be exceptional! Gazing at the unborn child, he suddenly thought of his Great Luo Sword Embryo. This Sword Embryo could be entrusted to a pregnant Nascent Soul True Lord for nurturing within her, utilizing the Sword Embryo Origin to cultivate the fetus. Thus, upon the fetus's formation and birth, it could possess the Sword Embryo Dao Body! Although Lu Changsheng had initially intended for Hong Lian to nurture offspring with this Sword Embryo, he now felt Yun Wanshang was also an ideal candidate. Firstly, Yun Wanshang had already attained Nascent Soul and was pregnant, fulfilling the necessary conditions. Waiting for Hong Lian to reach Nascent Soul would require several years. Secondly, his own path to Nascent Soul was imminent; if a Sword Embryo Dao Body could be produced, his innate talent, the Chaos Body, might directly ascend a level. Then, surpassing the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul and reaching the Great Dao Nascent Soul, Lu Changsheng believed, would be attainable! However, the consequence would be the sacrifice of an offensive weapon.

Through numerous years, his battles against cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and formidable Fourth Rank Demon Kings had frequently hinged upon the advantage provided by this Sword Embryo.

Without the Great Luo Sword Embryo, his offensive power would indisputably diminish significantly.

"Now that Qian Zhuyan and Tihun have both ascended to Fourth Rank, and Golden Peng will soon follow suit, with them providing protection for the Dao, the absence of the Sword Embryo will not be an issue."

"Furthermore, once I achieve a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm, I will be able to initially activate the 'Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror,' rendering the Sword Embryo unnecessary."

Lu Changsheng made a swift decision to entrust the Sword Embryo to Yun Wanshang for the purpose of nurturing the fetus.

However, this course of action would require the other party's agreement.

Yun Wanshang had only recently attained the Nascent Soul stage and ought to be focusing on stabilizing her cultivation and practicing Divine Skills.

Should the Sword Embryo be utilized to nurture the fetus, it would undoubtedly impede her cultivation, potentially even draining her own essence.

"What is it?"

Yun Wanshang observed Lu Changsheng gazing intently at her abdomen, leading her to believe that her recent tribulation had adversely affected the fetus.

"Just had a thought," Lu Changsheng replied with some hesitation.

"What thought is it?"

In the past, Yun Wanshang might not have pressed the matter further.

Yet, with their relationship having deepened and their hearts now open to one another, witnessing Lu Changsheng's uncertainty prompted her to inquire further.

"True Man... Caiyun, you should be aware of this Sword Embryo."

Lu Changsheng, accustomed to her referring to him as 'True Man' in the past, found it somewhat unfamiliar now that she had reached the Nascent Soul realm.
