Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 703: Chapter 264: The Tree King Appears, Within the Cave Heaven!_1

Blue Lake Mountain.

Inside the manor’s grand hall.

“Ruyin has been troubling Lu Mountain Lord these past few days.”

Xu Renguang said politely to Lu Changsheng.

He had just arrived at Wugong Ridge when he heard from the Zheng Family that his beloved granddaughter had gone to stay temporarily at Blue Lake Mountain.

Upon hearing this news, he was terrified and rushed to Blue Lake Mountain without stopping to take his precious granddaughter back.

...
After all, he had heard of the great reputation of Lu Changsheng.

Not only was he a son-in-law from Qingzhu Mountain who became a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, a master of the Talisman Path, and single-handedly killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators, but he also established the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family.

Another thing that was widely talked about was his zeal for marrying and having children.

In just over twenty years, he had amassed over fifty wives and concubines and more than a hundred and fifty children, essentially creating a clan all by himself.

So hearing that his granddaughter had run off to Blue Lake Mountain, he was terrified that Lu Changsheng might lay his hands on her.

If anything were to happen between the two of them, he couldn’t even bear to imagine it.

“Xu Dao You is too kind.”

Lu Changsheng said with a chuckle.

“Grandpa.”

At this moment, Lu Miaoyun and Xu Ruyin arrived in the hall.

Xu Renguang looked at his granddaughter with displeasure, then stood up and said with cupped hands, “Lu Mountain Lord, I have other matters to attend to and must not stay for long; I will take my leave now.”

“If Lu Mountain Lord is ever free in the future, you are welcome to visit the Xu Family anytime.”

After speaking and leaving a gift behind, he took his granddaughter Xu Ruyin and bid farewell, leaving Blue Lake Mountain.

“Xu Dao You, take care.”

Lu Changsheng saw the two out of the mountain gate.

But seeing the other party’s face filled with relief and haste in taking his granddaughter away, he felt a hint of inexplicable insult.

My family kindly took in your granddaughter with ulterior motives, and yet you behave like this, distrustful of my character, aren’t you?

“Yun’er, have you or Xiaowan noticed anything amiss about Miss Xu in the past few days?”

At this time, Lu Changsheng turned to Lu Miaoyun, who was standing beside him, and asked.

“Nothing out of the ordinary, Miss Xu only went out to the lake once in these five days, the rest of the time she was cultivating alone in her room.”

Lu Miaoyun shook her head slightly and spoke, “Husband, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just feel that Miss Xu is a bit of a problem.”

Lu Changsheng said casually.

“A problem?”

Lu Miaoyun’s face showed a thoughtful expression.

But after thinking for a long time, she couldn’t recall anything about Miss Xu that seemed problematic.

If she really had to say there was a problem, it would be her lack of interest in her own husband.

After all, according to Xiaowan, Miss Xu from the Xu Family might have developed feelings for her own husband.

But now that she’s come to Blue Lake Mountain, she hasn’t shown too much of it these past days.

…

Six days later.

At the summit of Bi Yun Peak.

“Inverted Five Elements Formation, activate!”

Ling Zixiao placed the flags and Array Plate properly, then went to the formation’s eye and inserted one spell after another into the Array Plate.

“Weng——”

The next moment, flags around the peak flapped in the wind, beams of light appeared, and the spiritual mechanism surged, forming a five-colored glass pillar.

“My lord, the formation is ready; you can give it a try,” Ling Zixiao said to Lu Changsheng.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng turned into a streak of light and flew out of the peak.

As the five-colored glass pillar on the peak twisted, it gradually vanished, turning into a hazy white mist.

The white mist swirled, and the peak reappeared, but everything on the mountain was gone—the trees, Ling Zixiao, Xiao Xiyue, Changsheng Hall, all invisible.

Lu Changsheng channeled mana into his eyes, hoping to see through the formation and make out the situation inside.

However, layers of fog-like obstruction shielded his view.

He could somewhat discern that the scene before him was an illusion but could not see clearly inside.

When he used his Divine Sense to probe, he felt an invisible barrier preventing the Divine Sense from penetrating.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng descended back onto the peak.

The scene before him on the peak, the trees and all, felt as real as the actual landscape; the sensation was genuine.

Lu Changsheng tried to locate the aura of Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue but couldn’t sense them at all.

“So this is the power of a formation; it seems I will have to learn some formation techniques in the future,” Lu Changsheng mused.

“Otherwise, if I were to enter some formation, I might end up trapped and die within it.”

Although he said this, he currently had two methods of breaking through formations.

One was to use an Unsealing Talisman to break the formation.

Another was the eighth Divine Skill of his Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, the Unsealing Divine Light, which could break all sorts of formation restrictions.

Lu Changsheng strolled around the peak for a couple of rounds but no matter what, was unable to enter the real Bi Yun Peak summit.

He nodded in satisfaction and said, “This will do, Zi Xiao.”

As his words fell,

the scenery before him began to shift and Lu Changsheng saw he was standing exactly in the center of the peak summit.

And Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue were close by.

“How was it, my lord?”

Ling Zixiao, holding the Array Plate with a light smile, asked.

“Good, the Inverted Five Elements Formation’s illusionary and confusing effects have no issues, though we still need to check on the aspect of the magic aura,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

Then he turned to Xiao Xiyue and said, “Xi Yue, I’ll release my mana aura in a moment, can you tell if you can sense it?”

“Okay,” Xiao Xiyue nodded lightly in response.

“Then, Dao You Xiao, I will start the formation for you,” Ling Zixiao said to Xiao Xiyue.

And then she activated the Array Plate with her mana.

Lu Changsheng could clearly see the top of the peak’s formation mechanism surging, a stream of five-colored glass light flowing, enveloping Xiao Xiyue.

“Changsheng, it’s ready,” Xiao Xiyue said.

She was in a moon-white dress, her face calm and tranquil, looking towards Lu Changsheng, her beautiful eyes as serene and clear as the moon in the sky.

“Okay.”

Upon hearing her, Lu Changsheng’s mana surged from his dantian.

His middle-stage Foundation Establishment mana, augmented by the Profound Origin Bead, surged like a raging river, surrounding him with an aura of late-stage Foundation Establishment pressure.
