Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2177: 587 (2)

Considering the vast resources of the Starry Sky Sea, far exceeding those of Jiang Country, it's clear my future endeavors must involve acquiring resources here. Recruiting a few Nascent Soul subordinates would be a prudent choice.

"Should you wish to follow me, you may. However, I am currently occupied and have no time to attend to you."

Lu Changsheng understood that their willingness to submit stemmed from the potential benefits and a degree of apprehension regarding his power to silence them.

With that, he presented a Jade Talisman. "In that case, keep this Jade Talisman. I will seek you out once my current matters are concluded. In the meantime, it would be beneficial if you could gather intelligence on the Starry Sky Sea, along with any news concerning the Infant Transformation Elixir and Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects."

Although Lu Changsheng possessed an additional Infant Transformation Elixir and suspected True Monarch Shi Hai might also have one, one could never truly have too many.

"Thank you, Master!"

The five exchanged glances, accepted the Jade Talisman, and offered a respectful bow to Lu Changsheng.

At this instant, Lu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a golden light as he carefully scrutinized their faces. He then spoke, "I sense ominous signs of danger if you attempt to leave the Starry Sky Sea. Allow me to assist you on your journey."

His words held profound truth.

Having already witnessed Lu Changsheng's extraordinary abilities, the five were immediately filled with a sense of awe and dread upon hearing his pronouncement. They quickly clasped their hands and said, "Thank you, Senior."

"Golden Peng."

Lu Changsheng addressed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, gesturing for it to fly towards the Great Dream Marsh.

While he possessed the Michen Banner, allowing him to return to the Great Dream Immortal City initially,

the depth of the Forbidden Sea within the Starry Sky Sea, and its considerable distance from the Great Dream Marsh, would demand an immense expenditure of mana.

Even with the Nascent Soul Magic Power borrowed from Yun Wanshang via the Sun Moon Samsara Technique, a direct return was not feasible without forcibly depleting the Spirit Treasure Origin.

Furthermore, the sheer distance could render the Michen Banner significantly less effective.

Consequently, it was a more practical approach to travel with the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng first, and then reassess options if necessary.

"Screech!"

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng responded with a cry, emanating a brilliance akin to a blazing golden sun. It then carried Lu Changsheng and the others across the Forbidden Sea, en route to the Great Dream Marsh.

Having recently ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, Yun Wanshang could now discern the formidable power of the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng through its demonic aura and remarkable speed.

She found herself in awe of Lu Changsheng's acquisition of such high-tier Spiritual Pets.

Moreover, the unwavering obedience of these Spiritual Pets was truly exceptional.

It was widely known that even the Spirit Taming Sect's Spiritual Beasts, upon reaching the Third Rank, did not exhibit such docility and tireless dedication.

The five Nascent Soul Cultivators accompanying them were a mixture of excitement, anxiety, and fear.

After all, they had personally witnessed the fierce battle between the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, alongside Lu Changsheng, and the formidable Split Wind Beast.

The prospect of riding upon such a powerful Demon King was an unprecedented and thrilling experience for them.

As they traversed the Forbidden Sea, they encountered roars from demon kings issuing challenges. However, the potent Qi Mechanism emanating from Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanshang, and Qian Zhuyan's Fourth Rank Physique served as a sufficient deterrent, preventing any further provocations.

Thus, a fortnight later, they successfully emerged from the vicinity of the Forbidden Sea.

"I intend to establish a substantial force within the Starry Sky Sea in the future; you should begin making preparations for this."

Lu Changsheng informed the five Nascent Soul Cultivators before continuing his journey with Yun Wanshang.

"Lu Changsheng, are you contemplating relocating your family to the Starry Sky Sea?"

Yun Wanshang inquired of Lu Changsheng.

Her understanding of the Starry Sky Sea was limited.

However, based on the encounters with the demon kings in the Forbidden Sea and the presence of the five Nascent Soul Cultivators, she recognized that this region possessed a far greater level of prosperity than Jiang Country.

"Jiang Country's resources are inherently limited. If I am to acquire more resources for my future cultivation, a departure from Jiang Country is inevitable,"

Lu Changsheng stated plainly.

He held no objection to nurturing his family securely within Jiang Country. However, as his children matured and his own cultivation advanced, the resource output of Jiang Country would prove increasingly insufficient, necessitating outward expansion.

With his established influence in the Great Dream Immortal City, he could forge a lucrative trade route connecting the Great Dream Marsh and the Starry Sky Sea.

Yun Wanshang readily grasped Lu Changsheng's underlying intent.

Every Cultivation Nation faced the constraint of finite resources.

When resources became scarce, the options were either internal exploitation or external aggression.

She even perceived that the current Jiang Country was struggling to accommodate the needs of both Lu Changsheng's Lu Family and the Heavenly Sword Sect.

A choice must be made: either forge alliances externally or face inevitable internal strife.

Furthermore, with the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage achieved, the Qingyun Sect would undoubtedly seek to expand its influence over Jiang Country.

"Caiyun, what are your intentions moving forward?"

Lu Changsheng directed his question to Yun Wanshang.

Having attained the Nascent Soul stage, it was highly probable that she would rejoin the Qingyun Sect.

However, the Qingyun Sect lacked a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, a resource insufficient for her continued cultivation.

While the early stages of nurturing a Sword Embryo and practicing Divine Skills are less impacted, this deficiency remains a concern.

"After being absent for so many years, I intend to first return to the Qingyun Sect to give birth to Yun Xiao, and then I shall consider other matters."

"You mentioned previously that Liang Country and Yue Country are currently engaged in conflict; at that juncture, I might contemplate an alliance with the Heavenly Sword Sect to secure a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, or alternatively, seek their assistance in my cultivation."

As a direct disciple of the Qingyun Sect, Yun Wanshang held no animosity towards the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Having interacted with them over the years, she felt a degree of trust had been established, paving the way for potential cooperation.

Previously, the Qingyun Sect lacked the standing for such considerations, but having now reached the Nascent Soul stage, she possessed the clout to influence the cultivation world.

"Lu Changsheng, and what are your plans?"

Yun Wanshang turned her inquiry back to Lu Changsheng.

In her estimation, Lu Changsheng was extraordinarily enigmatic.

Despite being a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he possessed a Fourth Rank Physique, a Fourth Rank Puppet, and even Spiritual Pets.

Such formidable strength placed him on par with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Had it been any other cultivator, a confrontation with the Heavenly Sword Sect would likely have already erupted.
