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

Chapter 1842: Chapter 616: Sword Embryo Effect, Nine Netherhound’s Tier 3 Breakthrough!

The Great Dream Marsh, its misty waters stretch endlessly, resembling an infinite ink painting.

As you venture deeper, a gray mist gradually envelops the water’s surface, as if the endless waters merge seamlessly with the heavenly dome, forming an indistinguishable whole.

Although the Great Dream Marsh becomes increasingly dangerous the deeper you go, cultivators continuously arrive to hunt demon beasts, or to seek treasures through adventure.

”Splash——”

The waters roared and surged, as two Foundation Establishment cultivators scrambled out of the water in panic, looking disheveled, their magical robes in tatters.

The middle-aged man among them had his right arm bitten off by a demon beast, blood streaming out, dyeing a large portion of his robe red.

”Cough, cough, cough!”

The man’s face was pale as paper, and he said with a pained smile: ”Sister Fu, you must go quickly, don’t worry about me. If you delay, you might attract other demon beasts; escape on your own.”

As he spoke, he forcibly endured the pain, trying to drive his magic artifact to hold back the pursuing demon beast for the woman.

”Brother Yun, since we are married, we should face life and death together, I forbid you to say such things. If you die, I’ll never live alone!”

The woman’s face was solemn, and she spoke resolutely as she maneuvered their escape light to flee for their lives with the man.

However, one was at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, the other at the middle stage, completely outmatched by the demon beast in the waters.

At this moment, suddenly, from the heavenly dome shot down a heavenly, earth-piercing dazzling sword light, brilliant and radiant, as if the sun itself was shining down.

The couple couldn’t even bear to look directly at this sword light, their eyes stinging, their whole bodies stiffening, hairs standing on end, their skin feeling like it was being sliced open.

Soon after, a serene and soothing voice filled their ears.

”Such deep affection between a couple is commendable.”

The couple opened their eyes.

The celestial sword light they just witnessed vanished like an illusion.

Before them, the boundless sea seemed to have been split open, enveloped in an indescribable terrifying sword Qi.

The demon beast that was chasing them was now pulverized, leaving only a single lustrous monster core floating about.

”This, this, this...”

The two looked at this scene, glancing at each other, seeing in each other’s faces a look of both surprise and indescribable shock and horror, having survived a life-threatening ordeal.

”Thank you, venerable elder!”

”Thank you, venerable elder!”

They swallowed, quickly bowing toward the heavenly dome to show their gratitude.

After collecting the monster core, they still found it hard to believe, feeling like they were dreaming.

After all, being saved by a master and granted a serendipity belonged in storybooks.

Yet, unexpectedly, such a thing had happened to them.

”Brother Yun, it’s your arm...”

The woman looked at the man’s severed arm, feeling pained.

For cultivators, having a physical defect could affect their breakthrough in cultivation realm.

”It’s just an arm, it’s not a big deal.”

The man smiled palely, then together with the woman, they swiftly returned to the island riding their escape light.

...

”Tsk, there is still quite a bit of pure love in the cultivation world.”

High above, Lu Ancestor, draped in a mystic robe, stood tall and slender, holding what appeared to be an ancient and plain sword embryo, and sighed aloud.

The sword strike just now was casually executed by him.

For these kinds of spontaneous actions, when encountered, Lu Ancestor was still willing to lend a hand.

Moreover, such a moving love was worth the Pure Love War God, Lu Ancestor, stepping forward to rescue them.

”This sword embryo is quite interesting, appearing unremarkable when not activated, yet when mana is infused, it radiates a supreme sword light, making any ordinary cultivator wielding it seem like a top-level sword cultivator!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the sword embryo in his hand, thoroughly pleased.

This sword embryo, seemingly ancient, plain, even somewhat rough, yet with mana infused, it unleashed an awe-inspiring dazzling sword light, hard for anyone to look at directly.

As he reached the depths of the Great Dream Marsh and saw there was no one around, Lu Changsheng began to fully activate the sword embryo in his hand.

”Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

The ancient, dim sword embryo trembled, its rune patterns beginning to intertwine and flow, like smoke, like mist, extraordinarily profound, bursting forth with a stunningly radiant brilliance, shining a hundred times brighter than the sun.

Even as Lu Changsheng gazed at the sword Dao origin intertwined on the sword embryo, his eyes stung, making it difficult to see clearly.

”Swoosh!”

Lu Changsheng swung the sword embryo in his hand, the blazing sword light pierced the endless void, directly cleaving the sea’s surface, forming a sharp and fierce sword Qi capable of slaying a Third Rank Demon King.

”Hiss, what a sword embryo, what a sword embryo indeed!”

Lu Changsheng exhaled deeply, looking at the gradually dimming sword embryo in his hand, his eyes filled with joy.

Although this sword embryo wasn’t a magical treasure, nor had it been forged into a heaven-reaching spirit treasure, yet, in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, it surpassed many heaven-reaching spirit treasures.

Because at this stage, he truly couldn’t wield a heaven-reaching spirit treasure.

Even with middle grade or superior grade spirit treasures, he found it difficult to activate them.

But this sword embryo was different!

Though it consumed more mana than an average magic artifact or spiritual treasure, it didn’t have a threshold or requirement.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator who acquired this sword embryo could infuse mana to wield a portion of its power.

This meant that this sword embryo could entirely be regarded as a high-potential spiritual treasure with room to grow!

”Although the mana consumption is higher than regular spiritual treasures, its power surpasses many spiritual treasures. In my hands, its might is completely on par with ordinary spiritual treasures.”

Lu Changsheng kept swinging his sword, the second dantian’s Tianyuan Lotus trembled, releasing mana in torrents like a levee burst, pouring out frenetically.

Sword lights, dazzling and radiant, lit up the heavens and earth, illuminating everything, stirring tidal waves to rise gigantically.

Anyone gazing here at this moment would think a supreme sword cultivator was performing a sword Dao divine ability.
