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

Chapter 2166: Chapter 715: Demon Fetus Parasite, Yan Lan’s Breakthrough! (Double Chapter)

At this moment of desperation, he directly used this unfamiliar divine skill!

”Buzz!”

Lu Quanzhen applied the quasi-fourth rank [Substitute Talisman] in his mind, leveraging this power as his shattered body transformed into a demon fetus and swiftly darted into the Kunpeng larva to perform a parasitic possession.

However, the life force of this Kunpeng larva was overwhelmingly strong and extremely resilient; Lu Quanzhen’s current state made the possession seem like a fool’s dream.

”Damn it, damn it!” His soul screamed in madness, attempting to parasitize the Kunpeng larva.

The Kunpeng larva in the giant egg also let out a painful roar.

Born with flaws, it relied on various methods set by the old Kunpeng, nurtured through years of sustenance to gain new life, not considered overly powerful.

After swallowing Lu Quanzhen’s soul memory just now and being harmed by a terrifying rule force, its consumption was severe.

This made it unable to completely annihilate Lu Quanzhen’s demon fetus parasitism.

”Let’s both take a step back!”

After a long struggle between man and beast, Lu Quanzhen seemed to fuse with the Kunpeng larva, communicating and realizing he could only briefly parasitize and could not endure against the Kunpeng larva.

Though ignorant due to its juvenile nature, the Kunpeng larva possessed much knowledge through memory inheritance, swallowing the souls of other cultivators, realizing that something was amiss with Lu Quanzhen.

Facing this inexplicable parasitic possession, with soul pain, it agreed and asked what Lu Quanzhen wanted to leave.

”Great medicine!”

Lu Quanzhen’s essence blood and mana were nearly depleted, almost collapsing. If the parasitism failed, the demon fetus would immediately turn to dust, leading only to death!

Moreover, he barely managed to parasitize the Kunpeng larva because the latter swallowed him into the giant egg; otherwise, he couldn’t breach its absolute defense.

Thus, under such circumstances, it was absolutely impossible to abandon the Kunpeng larva, hoping to obtain enough energy through it, restore himself, then plan for an escape.

The Kunpeng larva roared lowly through Lu Quanzhen’s resolute soul thought, granting him the vast energy within the Kunpeng giant egg.

Instantly, the transformed demon fetus, Lu Quanzhen, received replenishment and instinctively operated the ”Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique”.

For some reason, as he operated this cultivation technique, a silky smoothness of unprecedented fluidity emerged.

Even the cultivation technique operation process continuously corrected, or rather... became more fitting for him.

”So, this is the true Kunpeng inheritance!”

While operating his cultivation technique due to parasitism on the Kunpeng larva, Lu Quanzhen, in that ethereal moment, could even perceive the patterns on the Kunpeng giant egg.

These patterns, intertwined with runes of Kunpeng forms swirling around the blood pool, resembled Peng birds and Kun fish fluttering in the void, forming a profound Kunpeng method.

Meanwhile, above the black hole.

As the altar’s black hole emerged, all Kunpeng demon technique inheritors were swallowed into the black hole. The invisible mighty force around the altar dispersed, and all treasures on the altar scattered to the four corners as all Nascent Soul cultivators began to snatch them.

As for the demon technique inheritors falling into the black hole, some noticed an overwhelming terror aura and chose not to look further, continuing to compete for opportunities and treasures.

...

Jiang Country.

Great Dream Immortal City.

The news of the emergence of the Great Dream Marsh Secret Realm spread quickly, and within a month, Nascent Soul Immortals from the four great Immortal Sects arrived at the City Lord Mansion to inquire about the Secret Realm.

However, the Great Dream Immortal City was now regarded as a Nascent Soul level power by the four Immortal Sects, so the visiting cultivators were extremely polite, only inquiring if there were plans for joint development.

For instance, the Immortal Sects could send manpower to help survey, reclaim, and so on.....

As the chief steward of the Immortal City, Ling Zixiao did not act overly domineering, merely stating that the Secret Realm had not yet fully opened, and the specifics, whether cooperative development or exploration was needed or not, could be discussed later; the guests might first rest in the Immortal City.

Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng received the news that Yan Lan broke through to False Core.

As the family’s first concubine to break through to False Core, the Lu Ancestor deemed it necessary to visit.

When he arrived at Cloud Dream Mountain, there were already numerous little cultivators gathering around.

This was quite normal.

Breaking through to False Core was inconsequential to Lu Changsheng.

But for the cultivators of Jiang Country and the loose cultivators of Immortal Cities, it was quite a lively event, attracting many to pay respects.

”Greetings to Changsheng True Master!”

”Seen Lu Mountain Lord! Lu City Lord!”

Even though Lu Changsheng rarely appeared in daily life, almost all cultivators of the Great Dream Immortal City recognized him. Upon seeing him appear, they hurriedly bowed, speculating his purpose here.

Recruiting newly advanced False Core cultivators, or knowing the person, coming to congratulate.

When Lu Changsheng arrived, Yan Lan immediately stepped out of the cave mansion and invited him in to rest.

”What... what’s going on? Just went in?”

”Wait, that woman seems to be Yan Lan, the Great Market Master of Misty Rain Market, one of the concubines of Changsheng True Master!”

”What, Lu Mountain Lord’s concubine?”

”Changsheng True Master’s concubines have all broken through to False Core?”

”Five years ago, Changsheng True Master seemed to have auctioned a third rank Demon Core at the Immortal City auction, was it to aid this Market Master Yan break through to False Core?”

Even though Yan Lan was the master of her marketplace, the Great Dream Immortal City was quite a distance from Qingyun Domain, so she wasn’t very famous, and not many knew her.

But now, having broken through to False Core, appearing with the identity of Lu Ancestor’s concubine prompted discussions and speculation about her identity and circumstances among the crowd.

”Lu City Lord is truly generous, giving away a third rank Demon Core to a concubine for the False Core breakthrough.”

”Indeed, I thought Lu Ancestor would keep this Demon Core as a family heirloom, to nurture a future False Core Immortal, or forge a Magical Treasure, but unexpectedly it was given to a concubine.”

”No wonder Jiang Country’s most devoted, Changsheng True Master not only exchanges Coagulation Crystal Elixirs for his wife Lu Miaoge, but now even concubines can receive third rank Demon Cores for the False Core breakthrough...”

”I wish I could marry the Changsheng True Master.”

”If anyone offered me a third rank Demon Core as a bride price, I’d marry him immediately!”

Within the Immortal City, apart from the emergence of the Great Dream Marsh Secret Realm, many people’s chats over tea also included the matter of Lu Ancestor’s concubine’s False Core achievement.

...

False Core and True Core are different; upon breakthrough, one must stabilize the realm well to avoid mana disorder and demon core backlash.

Therefore, when Lu Changsheng entered Yan Lan’s cave mansion, he congratulated her, chatted briefly, then indicated that she should stabilize her realm well before stepping out of the cave mansion.

In idle chatter, Lu Changsheng returned to the City Lord Mansion, routinely drawing several third rank top-level talismans.

Just then, he suddenly felt something, looking towards the Lu Family Genealogy.

The genealogy records names, and if someone undergoes soul search or body snatching, the genealogy can retain spiritual clarity and provide warnings.

”Quanzhen!”

Through the genealogy, he immediately understood his son Lu Quanzhen was soul searched by someone through some method.

Regardless of whether soul searching or body snatching, falling to this level was extremely dangerous.

”Quanzhen just recently broke through to the Core Formation Third Layer, how could he be soul searched?”

Lu Changsheng’s face turned slightly somber.

He tried calculating the condition of his son Lu Quanzhen with a pinch of his fingers, only to sense a cloudy chaos of heavenly secrets.

Having learned from earlier experiences with his son Lu Ping’an, he researched the genealogy which can block outsiders but not him as the patriarch.

Thus, this chaotic heavenly secret was not from genealogy interference but rather from other aspects.

It didn’t even seem like some method to conceal heavenly secrets, nor was it from divination artifacts.

Simply put, even a third rank Magical Treasure wouldn’t have this effect!

Lu Changsheng forced out a drop of essence blood from his fingertip, then tapped his Storage Ring to find a porcelain bottle with Lu Quanzhen’s name on it, allowing a drop of essence blood to fly out as a medium for calculation.

”External interference, isolates the world, heavenly secrets in total chaos....”

After a long while, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, slightly pale, whispering, ”Could it be Quanzhen entered a Secret Realm?”

Upgraded to third rank in divination calculation, he gained a lot of understanding in divination.

Understanding that many divination calculations don’t have direct results but can be inferred through peripheral analysis.

Under these circumstances with his son Lu Quanzhen, it was either gaining the [Tianyuan Lotus], a supreme treasure suppressing heavenly secrets; entering a Secret Realm; or being in a cave mansion of a heaven-calculating master.

Between the three, Lu Changsheng leaned towards his son entering a Secret Realm.

”A Secret Realm...”

However, for Lu Changsheng, being inside a Secret Realm was the most troublesome.

After all, most Secret Realms isolate the world, making heavenly secrets impossible to calculate.

Now, with his son’s soul searched, indicating he very likely fell into the hands of another cultivator, under such circumstances, the chances of surviving out of the Secret Realm were indeed slim.
