Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2194: 592

Upon entering the imposing Qingyun Grand Hall, Yun Wanshang cast a glance towards the Qingyun Sect Leader standing beside her. She inquired softly, "Senior Brother, how has the sect been faring all these years? I do not happen to see the Supreme Elder anywhere."

From the moment she crossed the threshold of the mountain gates, observing only a handful of cultivators at the Core Formation stage and noting the absence of her disciple, Chu Qingyi, Yun Wanshang recognized the precarious state of the Qingyun Sect. It was evident that many disciples had been dispatched to the front lines of the ongoing conflict.

"True Monarch, you may not be aware of the full details..."

Despite Yun Wanshang addressing him as Senior Brother in the presence of others, the Qingyun Sect Leader struggled to contain his inner delight and excitement. He maintained a facade of respect as he proceeded to elaborate on the current situation within Jiang Country and the escalating Liangyue War.

"The war situation is dire; our Supreme Elder departed for Yue Country quite some time ago to oversee matters..."

Under normal circumstances, a reputable force like the Qingyun Sect would typically arrange for their aging elders, those nearing the end of their natural lifespans, to spend their final days in peace and tranquility.

However, when confronted with a sect-wide crisis or the urgent call of wartime, these venerable elders and cultivators with limited time remaining become the bedrock of the sect's defense, readily taking their place on the front lines as the initial wave of combatants.

"Should the Supreme Elder learn of your successful breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, he would undoubtedly be overcome with joy."

The Qingyun Sect Leader expressed this sentiment with a face etched with deep emotion.

It was truly astonishing that in a mere span of over fifty years, Yun Wanshang had managed to achieve a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage while cultivating outside the sect.

Earlier, when the Supreme Elder had ventured towards the Liangyue War, he had steeled himself for the possibility of sacrifice, harboring a faint hope of attaining a Nascent Soul breakthrough by associating with the Heavenly Sword Sect during this war.

As their conversation progressed, the Qingyun Sect Leader recollected the earlier sight of Song Qingzhi coughing up blood and collapsing at the mountain gate. He couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. "Not only is our nephew Qingyi engaged at the frontline, but Brother Chi Yang is also there, lending his skills to refine powerful warfare Magical Treasures. As for Sister Song, she sustained an injury a few years back and has returned to recuperate."

He was acutely aware of the long-standing animosity between Yun Wanshang and Song Qingzhi. Nevertheless, given the gravity of the current circumstances, he harbored a sincere hope that Yun Wanshang would exercise restraint and show leniency.

After all, now that she had ascended to the Nascent Soul stage and earned the title of True Monarch, taking action against a Qingyun Sect elder with little remaining lifespan would undoubtedly tarnish her hard-won prestige.

Yun Wanshang, of course, grasped the unspoken meaning behind the Qingyun Sect Leader's words. She held no particular regard for a False Core cultivator with dwindling years left.

Even though, years prior, she had faced an ambush by the Red Luan Elder Demon, an incident she suspected might have ties to Song Qingzhi.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, I have only recently attained the Nascent Soul stage. I still require time to stabilize my cultivation realm and practice potent Divine Skills. The Nascent Soul Ceremony can therefore be postponed for the time being," Yun Wanshang stated calmly.

She recognized the Qingyun Sect Leader's eager anticipation for the Nascent Soul Ceremony, but her response was gentle.

Although she had successfully reached the Nascent Soul realm, numerous crucial tasks remained, particularly concerning her unborn child, Lu Yunxiao.

Not only did Lu Changsheng hold extraordinary expectations for this child, but she herself was equally attentive and filled with eager anticipation!

On one hand, the profound visions of the early Soul Path Dreams had left an indelible mark on her.

On the other hand, her inherently strong character fueled a distinct ambition to excel and surpass others.

Now that she was with child, Yun Wanshang was determined that her son would not be inferior to anyone, much less fall behind Lu Changsheng's other offspring!

This was especially true given that Lu Changsheng had entrusted her with the Great Luo Sword Embryo, a supreme treasure of the Sword Dao capable of nurturing a perfect Taoist Body.

She yearned to witness firsthand the manifestation of this legendary Taoist Body.

Would it truly be as unparalleled and awe-inspiring as Lu Yunxiao appeared in the Soul Path Dreams, effortlessly conquering all adversaries in the mortal realm?

"Excellent." The Qingyun Sect Leader readily assented, quickly inquiring whether Yun Wanshang intended to continue residing at Caiyun Peak or preferred to relocate to a different mountain.

Given her recent advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual energy concentration at Caiyun Peak was now deemed insufficient for her needs.

Consequently, he proposed allocating the primary Spirit Vein of the Qingyun Sect as her new cultivation cave mansion.

Should Yun Wanshang opt to remain at Caiyun Peak, arrangements would be made to enlist Fengshui Masters and Array Masters to transfer the Spirit Vein there.

While the Qingyun Sect might not possess Fourth Rank Spirit Veins, a multitude of Third Rank Top-Level Spirit Veins within the sect could be pooled to construct a cave mansion imbued with quasi-fourth rank spiritual energy.

"Caiyun Peak will suffice," Yun Wanshang replied after a moment of consideration.

Following a brief exchange with the assembled elders in the hall, Yun Wanshang requested that the Qingyun Sect Leader compile a comprehensive report detailing the sect's major events and its situation over the intervening years. She then departed with Xiao Xiyue, heading back towards Caiyun Peak.

Witnessing Xiao Xiyue’s advancement to the middle stage of Core Formation brought Yun Wanshang a sense of deep satisfaction.

Previously, a significant reason for her hesitation in allowing Xiao Xiyue to be with Lu Changsheng stemmed from Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation method, the "Supreme Forgetful Love Technique."

This particular technique demanded profound emotional detachment and complete forgetfulness.

Any lingering emotions would disrupt the cultivator’s mental state, easily leading to a deviation in their path and hindering further breakthroughs.

Despite Xiao Xiyue’s earnest assurances back then, Yun Wanshang remained unconvinced and reluctantly agreed to a fifty-year pact with them.

Time has a way of slipping by, and now, with over fifty years elapsed, the original agreement… it seemed she herself had been the one to break it.

Without even reaching the fifty-year mark, she had already embarked on a journey to explore and seek opportunities for a Nascent Soul breakthrough.

"Xi Yue, recount your cultivation journey over these years to me."

Yun Wanshang observed her disciple, who seemed even more detached than before, and inquired gently. She had a strong suspicion that Lu Changsheng had somehow resolved the issue with her "Supreme Forgetful Love Technique."

While she couldn't quite grasp the method he employed, having observed Lu Changsheng for years, she had become accustomed to witnessing numerous miracles and inexplicable events surrounding him.

"Reporting to Master..."

Although Xiao Xiyue practiced the "Supreme Forgetful Love Technique," rendering her typically unaffected by emotions and feelings,

the sight of her Master achieving Nascent Soul and returning stirred a minor ripple within her. She began to narrate her general circumstances over the intervening years.

However, upon mentioning Senior Sister Chu Qingyi, Xiao Xiyue’s words faltered for a moment. Her thoughts drifted to her Senior Sister and the child she shared with Lu Changsheng.

This child was typically raised at Bi Lake Mountain.

But now that her Master had returned at the Nascent Soul stage, such a secret could not be kept indefinitely.

Should Master discover that both Senior Sister and Lu Changsheng had a child, the repercussions would be...

"You have all endured hardship over these years."

Yun Wanshang extended her hand, gently stroking Xiao Xiyue’s hair. She understood that both her disciples had made substantial contributions to the Qingyun Sect throughout the years.
