Yun Wanshang successfully achieved Nascent Soul with the help of Lu Changsheng's elixirs and armor, surprising even herself with her smooth breakthrough. After the ascension, she felt an immense debt to Lu Changsheng, but he brushed it off, calling them Dao companions. When Lu Changsheng attempted to check on her pregnancy, Yun Wanshang, though now accepting him, still felt shy and playfully pushed him away. Meanwhile, Qian Zhuyan, her emotions already complex due to her merged soul and Lu Changsheng's cultivation technique, felt a pang of jealousy seeing their affection. She contemplated upgrading her puppet body to resemble her former human form, weighing the impact on her combat abilities. Lu Changsheng, realizing the potential of the unborn child and his own imminent Nascent Soul breakthrough, considered giving Yun Wanshang his Great Luo Sword Embryo to nurture the fetus, believing it could result in a powerful Sword Embryo Dao Body and elevate his own cultivation.

While a more intimate address like "Wanshang" or "Shang'er" might seem fitting, he surmised that Yun Wanshang's disposition might find such familiarity peculiar and unacceptable.

A gentle nod was Yun Wanshang's response.

This particular sword embryo exuded an aura of antiquity and ruggedness, akin to an unrefined sword artifact in its nascent form.

Yet, within the confines of the Land of Eternal Night, she had personally borne witness to the formidable might of this very sword embryo, its manifested sword light weaving a tapestry of dazzling, magnificent, and supremely sharp energy.

Though undeniably linked to Lu Changsheng's own formidable strength, this power was also intrinsically tied to the sword embryo itself.

He recognized it as a treasure belonging to a specific category of Sword Dao!

"Beyond its unparalleled offensive capabilities, this sword embryo possesses a unique property; it can serve as a Companion Sword Embryo, instrumental in cultivating a Sword Embryo Dao Body," Lu Changsheng articulated slowly.

"Companion Sword Embryo... Dao Body?"

Yun Wanshang's exquisite eyes widened with a mixture of profound surprise and intense curiosity as she absorbed his words.

As a cultivator with centuries of practice under her belt, the significance of a Dao Body was not lost on her.

Spiritual Bodies, she knew, were tiered into Low, Intermediate, Upper, and Top classifications.

Ascending beyond the Spiritual Body realm was the Dao Body!

She had long harbored the belief that Lu Changsheng himself possessed such a Dao Body.

If not, his astounding and rapid progression would be utterly inexplicable.

Therefore, his current statement left her utterly astonished.

This sword embryo held the capability to nurture a Dao Body!

While detailed accounts of Dao Bodies within the Cultivation World were scarce, she remained uncertain about the precise tier a Sword Embryo Dao Body might occupy.

However, she recalled encountering a theoretical exposition on the subject.

A Dao Body, it was said, was intrinsically designed for cultivation, representing a grand destiny of an epoch, predestined for invincibility amongst peers, with all others relegated to mere admiration, incapable of standing on equal footing!

Possessing a Dao Body practically guaranteed ascension to the Nascent Soul stage, barring an untimely demise!

"Are you intending to utilize this sword embryo to nurture Yun Xiao?"

Yun Wanshang's mind instantly grasped Lu Changsheng's intention, her voice laced with surprise and undeniable joy.

The prospect of her son possessing a Dao Body was something she would wholeheartedly embrace.

She felt a subtle resonance, as if this sword embryo was aiding her in shaping her son, the very child once prophesied for greatness within the dreamscapes of the Soul Path.

Nonetheless, the sheer power of the sword embryo and its capacity to foster a Dao Body struck her as astonishingly profound, raising a flicker of concern about potential wastefulness or harm to the infant.

"Yun Xiao?"

The unfamiliar given name initially caused Lu Changsheng a moment of bewilderment, which quickly gave way to commendation. "Lu Yunxiao, a magnificent name. The 'Yun' signifies the boundless freedom of the heavens and earth, embodying an extraordinary and unrestrained spirit; while 'Xiao' represents lofty aspirations, soaring to the highest heavens, the ultimate zenith of great ambition."

"What is it?" Yun Wanshang inquired immediately, noticing Lu Changsheng's grave countenance.

"While I was traversing the Land of Eternal Night, a spiritual pet was unfortunately separated from me. It is now in peril, bearing an ominous mark, necessitating my swift departure for its rescue."

With that, Lu Changsheng ascended with Yun Wanshang towards the Spiritual Eye located on Split Wind Island. There, he assumed a cross-legged position, commencing a divination by casting three coins to ascertain Lu Lingjing's current predicament and whereabouts.
