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

Chapter 2001: Chapter 661: Heavenly Mechanism Fate, Omen of Calamity! (Part 2)

No matter how hard Lu Changsheng tried, he couldn’t dispel the Heavenly Mechanism Mists before him to discern his son’s situation.

”Could there be a problem with my skills, or am I using the wrong method?”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng attempted to deduce the circumstances of his other children through the bloodline medium.

Lu Wuyu, Lu Xile, Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, Lu Qingsong, Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Ruyi, Lu Minghuang...

Except for his son Lu Qingshan, he was able to obtain vague information about these children.

However, he keenly perceived that during this divination process, the resistance of the Heavenly Mechanism Mists for each child varied.

”Aside from the cultivation realm and the spiritual objects concealing heavenly secrets, the difficulty of divination also relates to each person’s fate and fortune; for instance, if their fortune is abundant, their heavenly secrets profound, and their fate complex, the divination difficulty escalates a level...”

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself, gaining more insights into divination and a slight understanding of the arts of observing phenomena and destiny.

Like his daughter Lu Qingzhu, although she is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

She not only has herself, a father at the Core Formation Peak, but also has a mother who is a Core Formation Cultivator, Tianyuan True Immortal as her master, and a deeply bonded brother, Lu Qingshan.

In such circumstances, her fate becomes complex, closely linked with several people, leading to great resistance in divination, the mists ever-changing.

Lu Wuyu and Lu Xile, despite having himself as a father, they haven’t embarked on cultivation, lacking those who are profound in heavenly secrets around, thus their divination difficulty is nearly nonexistent.

For Lu Qingxuan, besides practicing divination, he’s now in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, where the city’s heavenly secrets are concealed, making it hard for Lu Changsheng to deduce.

Lu Wangshu and Lu Minghuang, not only do the family heritage suppress heavenly secrets and prevent divination, but they also possess other spiritual objects that conceal secrets, thus there’s an invisible resistance.

”Ping’an, apart from Core Formation cultivation and Third Rank Body Refining, might also have external forces concealing his heavenly secrets; whether it’s someone else using concealment, or treasures like the Fate-Defying Robe obstructing the divination is unknown!”

Upon experimenting and realizing there’s no issue with his divination skills, Lu Changsheng continued to deduce his son Lu Ping’an’s situation.

Given the uncertainty of fortune and calamity now, with divination enveloped by heavenly mists, Lu Changsheng couldn’t be reassured.

”Damn it, isn’t it just sacrificing lifespan?”

Sensing the immovable heavenly mists, Lu Changsheng opened the system panel and looked at his lifespan.

[Name: Lu Changsheng]

[Identity: Lord of Bi Lake Mountain]

[Cultivation Level: Core Formation Ninth Layer]

[Lifespan: 115/781]

[Spiritual Root: Earth Spirit Root]

[Constitution: Chaos Body]

Typically, Core Formation Cultivators have a lifespan of only five hundred years.

Even consuming Lifespan Extension Pill, heavenly and earthly treasures for extending life, it’s difficult to exceed six hundred years.

But Lu Changsheng is different.

Not only has he consumed First, Second, and Third Rank Lifespan Extension Pills, but he also condensed the Great Dao Golden Core and possesses a Chaos Body.

Above all, the Chaos Body, combined with the Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body and other spiritual bodies, grants him a lifespan far surpassing other cultivators!

If it weren’t for frequently using the Life Transference Technique early on, costing him considerable lifespan, perhaps his lifespan limit would’ve surpassed eight hundred already!

”Boom!”

Lu Changsheng forcefully deduced the fortune and calamity for his son Lu Ping’an at the cost of burning his lifespan.

One year!

Two years!

Three years!

During this process, Lu Changsheng’s lifespan burned furiously.

It wasn’t until spending thirteen years of lifespan that Lu Changsheng vaguely discerned a sliver of information.

Sign of medium misfortune!

Regarding the specific divinatory symbols, Lu Changsheng wasn’t clear, but through the bloodline medium and burning his lifespan, he knew Lu Ping’an would face a life-and-death calamity!

According to divination’s categorization of fortune and misfortune, the death probability for a sign of medium misfortune is roughly between fifty to seventy percent.

This probability is already very high!

”Hasn’t Ping’an escaped danger?”

Lu Changsheng frowned deeply, wanting to know his son’s current situation.

But his divination skills are only at the Second Rank, incapable of obtaining more information.

To obtain this divinatory symbol, besides burning thirteen years of lifespan, the father-son bloodline served as a medium.

If he wants to gain more information, it would require an exponentially greater cost!

”I still have to make a trip!”

Lu Changsheng did not continue with the divination. He let out a long breath, his expression serious, signaling the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale to return quickly.

The specific situation concerning his son Lu Ping’an’s sign of major misfortune was unclear to him.

But based on his experience with the art of divination, acquiring this divinatory symbol amidst the heavy resistance of the Heavenly Mechanism Mists indicated that it wouldn’t be long.

Most likely it is within the next few years, not exceeding three!

...

Endless Wilderness.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

Amidst the all-encompassing yellow sand storm, like a never-ending dust storm, it roared and raged throughout the wilderness.

This harsh environment of the wilderness, apart from a few oases, is generally uninhabited.

But during these days, from time to time, you could see a few Nascent Soul cultivators practicing Divine Rainbow, traversing the desert, slaying sandworms and fierce beasts.

Not that these cultivators were bored and came to the wilderness to stroll, but because the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm] was about to open.

This secret realm was different from other secret realms, as it had no fixed entrance.

When the secret realm opens, the Illusion Realm appears in the Endless Wilderness like a mirage.

So some Nascent Soul cultivators keep traversing the desert, hoping to be the first to enter the secret realm and thereby seize the opportunity, gain fortunes, and then survive until the secret realm ends.

”Daoist Qing Luan, according to the calculated time, the Vast Sand Illusion Realm should already be open by now. Why hasn’t it appeared yet? Could it be that this secret realm has already collapsed and won’t open anymore?”

On a desert peak, several cultivators sat cross-legged.

Among them, an elder in purple robes looked at a distinguished young man in a jade-like blue shirt and asked.

The others, hearing this, also looked towards the young nobleman.

”According to the calculated time, the Vast Sand Illusion Realm should open around this time, but based on previous records, a certain time deviation is also normal.”

The Azure Phoenix True Monarch, dressed in an exquisite green jade silk robe, wearing a green jade glazed crown, holding a folding fan painted with a green simurgh, presented a cold and aloof demeanor filled with graceful elegance.

While they spoke, suddenly a spatial ripple appeared, and a middle-aged man with a robust figure, a chiseled face, and gray-white hair, exuding an aura of authority, stepped out from the Great Void.

He glanced at the figures on the peak, his eyes slightly narrowed, then turned to the Azure Phoenix True Monarch and said, ”I sensed a familiar aura, so it’s you, Mu Qinghuang.”

”Daoist Yinlei, long time no see.”

The Azure Phoenix True Monarch replied casually, cupping his hands.

”Heh, indeed, it’s been a long time.”

The middle-aged man gave the Azure Phoenix True Monarch a few scrutinizing glances, then replied with a false smile, making it clear that the two were not on friendly terms.

However, even if he had grievances with the Azure Phoenix True Monarch from the past, with the secret realm about to open, it was impossible to engage in a large-scale battle here.

He took a step and reentered the Great Void.

The Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s eyes, bright as stars, pierced through the void, seeing that this man was not alone in the Great Void; there was a friend accompanying him.

”Does Daoist Qing Luan have a grudge with Daoist Yinlei?”

Someone nearby recognized the middle-aged man as a Nascent Soul loose cultivator from Qiyun Country, who had previously killed a superior grade Golden Core cultivator from the sovereign sect of Qiyun Country and was wanted by Qiyun Sect.

”Yes, I had a conflict with him in the past.”

The Azure Phoenix True Monarch calmly replied.

At these words, the observers’ pupils slightly contracted.

This Yinlei Daoist had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage for a century, while the Azure Phoenix True Monarch had only done so for three to four decades, right?

Judging by Liu Yinlei’s demeanor just now, he seemed to have suffered at the hands of the Azure Phoenix True Monarch.

Although this Azure Phoenix True Monarch was extraordinary, possessing an Azure Phoenix Daoist Soldier and a top-level spiritual beast, he shouldn’t be a match for Liu Yinlei, right?

The Azure Phoenix True Monarch did not offer further explanation.

After all, such matters are simple to mention briefly; who among the present did not have enemies or grievances?

Choosing to cooperate in exploring the secret realm is a way to enhance risk resistance and avoid being targeted by enemies within the realm.

The others did not press the matter further.

Although many Nascent Soul cultivators, even Nascent Soul True Lords, had arrived in the Endless Wilderness, it did not significantly affect the region, except that the trading volume in Black Desert Immortal City had increased.

At this moment, within a courtyard in Black Desert Immortal City.

”Senior, the Wolf Slayer Association has sent word that the Wolf King has left for Desert Scorpion City after hearing rumors of treasures appearing there, leaving Black Desert Immortal City.”

A burly, plain-looking middle-aged man looked at the message on the jade slip, murmuring to himself, ”Finally left, did he.”

After speaking, he rose, tidied up his belongings, and left the immortal city.
