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

Chapter 904: Chapter 327: The Number One Sword Trial, Siblings of the Jinyang Sect!

“Changsheng…”

Xiao Xiyue’s heart shuddered violently upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words.

Previously, while returning with her master Yun Wanshang, the two had a long conversation.

Yun Wanshang had inquired about how she intended to handle these feelings.

She was cultivating the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, which required her to use her emotions to break through.

Yet if she became entangled in the maze of these feelings, it would go against the path she sought to follow, essentially amounting to abandoning the Great Dao.

Xiao Xiyue naturally understood these principles.

She had earnestly told her master that she was only cultivating and would surely be able to break through when the time came.

But in her heart, she knew she was just running away.

Once she reached the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, it would be extremely difficult to break through the Third Layer of the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique and make a push for Core Formation.

“Master is injured and is currently healing…”

Xiao Xiyue spoke softly, her head slightly lowered.

Although she longed to be with Lu Changsheng openly and legitimately before the world,

she had just assured her master that she was solely focused on cultivation.

Now, bringing Lu Changsheng to meet her and propose would surely disappoint her master.

Moreover, her master was the Enforcement Hall Master of the Qingyun Sect.

Besides the warmth she showed to her disciples, she was often as stern as frost and quite imposing.

It was possible that she might take a dislike to Lu Changsheng because of Xiao Xiyue, and blame him.

“Xi Yue.”

Lu Changsheng knew Xiao Xiyue very well.

He understood that her heart was still knotted over her cultivation issues.

He supported her slender shoulders and looked into her eyes, clear as the moon reflected in a lake, and said gently, “You seek the Dao, and I won’t stop you, nor blame you. I just don’t want you to be wronged.”

“I’ve said before, I will find a dual cultivation method before you reach Core Formation. If I can’t find it, then you may freely cut off this romantic entanglement and seek the Dao wholeheartedly to break through Core Formation.”

“However, by the time that comes, I will still come to Qingyun Sect with Wangshu to take you home.”

Lu Changsheng said, a serious look in his eyes.

So many years had passed, and whenever this matter was brought up, she would get lost and confused.

He understood this and tried to give her a sense of security to prevent her from overthinking.

After all, Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation technique was somewhat unorthodox.

If this continued, she might one day cultivate a Heart Demon.

“Changsheng…”

Xiao Xiyue was stunned and bit her lips, wanting to say something.

But Lu Changsheng placed a finger gently upon her moist lips and said, “Let’s go, I will accompany you to Qingyun Sect. If the True Immortal is in closed-door healing, then we’ll leave it be.

If not, we shall pay a visit.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

In his view, the worst-case scenario for this marriage proposal trip was merely Caiyun True Immortal’s unfavorable opinion of him.

But when he had encountered trouble in Qingyun Sect before, Caiyun True Immortal had been willing to help him out of a difficult situation. He didn’t think she was a person to sweat the small stuff.

After all, as a Nascent Soul Immortal, she sat above the clouds, watching them roll and unfold without care—how could she be bothered by marriage matters?

“Mm.”

Xiao Xiyue blinked slowly out of her daze, her beautiful eyes showing tenderness and sweetness as she nodded gently.

She rarely saw Lu Changsheng act so dominantly.

She knew he did this to make her feel at ease, so she wouldn’t feel wronged.

“I’ll go get ready.”

“But for meeting the True Immortal, should I also prepare a gift?”

Lu Changsheng recalled his past visit to Qingyun Sect, where the True Immortal seemed to see through his cultivation level.

Thus, it was necessary this time to conceal that he had reached Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer and Quasi-Third Order Body Refinement.

Otherwise, if she noticed the astonishingly rapid increase in his cultivation level, it could invite unnecessary trouble.

“There’s no need to prepare anything.”

Xiao Xiyue said with a faintly amused smile.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng made quick preparations.

He used the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone to seal his mana and cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer, and his physical cultivation to the Second Order Initial Stage.

As for the gift, he chose several Spirit Talismans he had drawn himself.

Thus prepared, Lu Changsheng informed Ling Zixiao, then he and Xiao Xiyue left Bihu Lake Mountain and set off for the Qingyun Sect.

…

In Yue Country, Jinyang Sect.

The Jinyang Sect was hosting its quinquennial sword trial tournament.

The competition had reached the final stage and was bustling with activity.

All disciples, many Sect elders, and Supreme Elders had emerged from their seclusions to watch the battles.

After all, this tournament was not merely a contest among the disciples of Jinyang Sect.

It also pertained to the dispute over Qingming Secret Realm entry spots and resources allocation among the several Great Immortal Sects of Yue Country.

Should their disciples excel and prevail over the other Sects in the grand competition, they would not only gain honor but also secure more spots and resource distribution in the Qingming Secret Realm.

Thus, the Sect took this great sword trial very seriously!

“Lu Qingshan of Tianyuan Peak, Gu Yunyang of Jinyun Peak!”

At this moment, the elder hosting the event announced loudly while holding the Jade Scroll.

As soon as the announcement was made, it set off a wave of expectation among the crowd.

“Here they come, here they come!”

“Finally, we’re going to see an incredibly intense showdown!”

“Lu Qingshan with his Sword Dao breaks all spells, while Gu Yunyang practices Magical Dual Cultivation, having perfected the Golden Lustrous Body — it’s the perfect matchup!”

“However, based on their previous performances, I think Lu Qingshan will win.”

“Indeed, in all previous contests, Lu Qingshan has been overwhelmingly dominant, defeating his enemies with a single sword strike, it’s breathtaking!”

“I think elder brother Gu is more formidable. His Cultivation Level has reached the Peak of Qi Refining. If it wasn’t for the Qingming Secret Realm, he’d have broken through to Foundation Establishment long ago. Lu Qingshan stands no chance against him.”

“That’s right, while Lu Qingshan is strong, elder brother Gu has yet to fully display the power of his Golden Lustrous Body!”

“In my opinion, Lu Qingshan is more impressive. Five years ago, at the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement, he placed thirtieth in the sword trial tournament. Now at the Ninth Level, having comprehended the First Realm of Sword Dao, Sword Qi Like a Rainbow, he is unparalleled in his rank and will surely break through the Golden Lustrous Body!”
