Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2185: 589 (2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Lu Changsheng articulated his thoughts.
Prior to engaging, the Heavenly Mechanism Technique had already allowed him to meticulously analyze the outcome of this confrontation within his mind.
Although employing the Solar Mysterious Light might potentially expose his origin from Great Dream Immortal City to the trio,
a direct assault in the depths of this sea would place him, Yun Wanshang, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and the Soul-calling Beast at a significant disadvantage. Capturing the three cultivators who specialized in Water Cultivation Techniques would prove challenging, and they would undoubtedly suspect a connection to Great Dream Immortal City.
The most pragmatic approach was to unleash overwhelming power to instill fear and inflict severe damage, ideally resulting in their demise.
Regrettably, the adversaries were not ordinary foes, compelling Fu Hai True Monarch to endure the full force of the Solar Mysterious Light, thereby enabling their Nascent Souls to make an escape.
Nevertheless, the two individuals who were separated from their Magic Bodies suffered a substantial reduction in their combat capabilities, rendering them incapable of posing a threat to us for the foreseeable future.
Ling Bo True Monarch, in particular, stripped of any magical artifacts and reduced to a mere Nascent Soul, would be easily vanquished even if he managed to recover!
"Hmm."
Yun Wanshang possessed no familiarity with the intricacies of the Starry Sky Sea or the Kunpeng Egg. Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's declaration, she harbored no apprehension and did not probe further.
Yet, Lu Changsheng was acutely aware of an underlying peril that lingered.
Should the trio disseminate information regarding the Kunpeng Egg and the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale to the various factions inhabiting the Starry Sky Sea, it could still precipitate potential dangers and complications.
However, with the physical bodies of the two Nascent Soul Cultivators devastated, the dominant forces within the Starry Sky Sea would likely refrain from launching a reckless offensive.
"Let us return for now."
Lu Changsheng vocalized.
Instead of proceeding directly back to Great Dream Immortal City, he diverted their course towards the Sea Eye of Great Dream Marsh.
"Spiritual Whale, take this time to rest and recuperate."
Lu Changsheng addressed Lu Lingjing.
In truth, this location at the Sea Eye offered a more conducive environment for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's recovery and recuperation compared to an immediate return to Great Dream Immortal City.
"Golden Peng, if you feel the need to achieve a breakthrough to the Fourth Rank, do so here."
Lu Changsheng's gaze settled upon the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
Previously, the urgent circumstances, coupled with the presence of numerous Forbidden Sea Demon Kings, would have inevitably attracted a multitude of Demon Kings towards the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng. This would have demanded considerable time for its transformation process, hence its direct intervention in the rescue.
Now that the immediate crisis had passed, Lu Changsheng was confident that the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng should endeavor to reach the Fourth Rank with all haste.
Furthermore, before their eventual departure, they could still apprehend a few Demon Kings to serve as supplementary nourishment for both the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and Lu Lingjing, as well as provide raw materials for puppet creation for Qian Zhuyan.
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng conveyed its assent with a nod, indicating its requirement for rest and preparation.
Having journeyed rapidly from the Forbidden Sea, it was understandably quite fatigued.
Shortly thereafter, the entourage found respite at the Sea Eye of the Dream Swamp Sea.
Lu Changsheng then unfurled the Tianyuan Lotus, channeling Spiritual Energy into it to facilitate Lu Quanzhen's ongoing process of Demon Fetus Transformation from within.
Following this, he proceeded to meticulously examine the confiscated Spiritual Treasures belonging to Ling Bo True Monarch.
The Lifebound Spiritual Treasure known as the Ice Soul Comprehension was classified as a Low Grade Spiritual Treasure. However, its intricate refinement technique, which incorporated a plethora of rare materials, placed it merely a single step away from ascending to the ranks of a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure.
The sole unfortunate aspect was its designation as the opponent’s Lifebound Spiritual Treasure.
As Lu Changsheng held it, he perceived a distinct sensation of aversion and resistance emanating from the artifact.
The ice-blue silk garment was also identified as a Low Grade Spiritual Treasure.
Yet, it paled significantly in comparison to the Ice Soul Comprehension, merely managing to marginally satisfy the criteria for a Spiritual Treasure.
The Sea Sky Black Water Banner, which initially appeared unremarkable, possessed a unique quality, belonging to a category of Compound Magical Treasures.
Should all component banners be successfully amassed, their collective power would likely attain the level of a Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure, potentially even reaching High-grade Spiritual Treasure status!
"However, it seems exceedingly difficult to gather the remaining pieces in the future."
Lu Changsheng recalled the near destruction of Fu Hai True Monarch’s Sea Sky Black Water Banner under the intense radiance of the Solar Mysterious Light.
Regarding the ice soul silk attire and accompanying accessories worn by Ling Bo True Monarch, Lu Changsheng did not conduct an in-depth inspection. He merely secured her Storage Ring and Storage Bag.
"Indeed, when it comes to accumulating substantial wealth, it is invariably these Nascent Soul True Lords who possess the most."
Lu Changsheng's eyes gleamed with a hint of delight as he surveyed the valuable items contained within the Storage Ring and Storage Bag.
Despite the common practice among cultivators to sequester their riches in various locations rather than carrying their entire fortune, the possessions of a Nascent Soul True Lord were, without question, exceptionally abundant, far exceeding those typically held by Core Formation cultivators.
Concurrently, while Lu Changsheng was occupied with cataloging the spoils acquired from Ling Bo True Monarch, Pinghai Monarch and Ling Bo True Monarch arrived at the Fu Hai Sect.
"Brother Pinghai, why do you arrive unaccompanied? Where is Ling Bo True Monarch?"
Fu Hai True Monarch perceived only Pinghai Monarch, his own somewhat frail Nascent Soul Spirit Body manifesting a look of astonishment.
In the ensuing moment, he observed a Nascent Soul effigy akin to Ling Bo True Monarch materialize, causing his countenance to transmute into one of stark terror: "Fellow Daoist Ling Bo, did you also..."
He had not foreseen that not only was his own Magic Body annihilated, but Ling Bo True Monarch too had been reduced to a mere Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
Recollecting Ling Bo True Monarch’s exquisite Magic Body, reminiscent of a Goddess of Ice Soul, a tinge of sorrow could not help but surface within him.
During his earlier years of cultivation, a certain admiration and affection had indeed stirred in his heart for Ling Bo True Monarch.
However, owing to the nature of her cultivation technique, her entire bearing exuded a chilling aura, which gradually caused those nascent feelings to recede.
Yet, at this precise juncture, witnessing the destruction of her stunning Magic Body, a profound sense of desolation washed over him.
"Alas..."
Ling Bo True Monarch emitted a sigh, harboring a degree of resentment towards Pinghai Monarch, believing he had failed to deploy his Life Burning Card to aid her in escaping the Dragon Whale's grasp, thereby precipitating her current dire circumstances.
Nonetheless, she had forfeited her physical Magic Body, her Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, and her Storage Ring, finding herself in a state of extreme vulnerability and compelled to depend on Pinghai Monarch for succor during this perilous period.
Crucially, she was now devoid of the Token required to return to Linghai Sect, and should she attempt to go back, intelligence of her shattered Magic Body would swiftly disseminate, becoming common knowledge among other influential factions.
"Two Nascent Soul Cultivators, a Fourth Rank Demon Ape, a Quasi-Fourth Rank Peng Bird, and another Fourth Rank entity of unknown origin..."
Fu Hai True Monarch absorbed their accounts of the unfolding situation, coming to the realization that the adversaries were indeed formidable, yet not quite as overwhelmingly terrifying as his initial apprehension had painted them.
Primarily, the Solar Mysterious Light emanated an aura of such dread that it had nearly petrified him with fear.
