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

Chapter 2723: Chapter 880: Overbearing Swallowing God Technique, Danger, True Monarch of 1000 Blades! (Double Chapter, Supplement)

”In the future, I might even break through Fifth Rank Body Refinement and Fifth Rank Soul first, just like breaking from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation, and Core Formation to Nascent Soul, before advancing to Divinity Transformation!”

Lu Changsheng was quite confident when it came to his own cultivation.

After all, with his top level Taoist Body [Chaos Body] and Heavenly Spiritual Root, while his talent might not be unprecedented, it was still a rarity seen once in millennia.

Moreover, his talent and aptitude were constantly being accumulated and elevated.

Breaking through to Divinity Transformation was not such an unattainable goal.

As for the absence of Divinity Transformation in the Southern Wilderness.

Well... Lu Changsheng didn’t mind filling this gap.

”Additionally, I don’t need to hastily plunder and devour other souls and essences to enhance my own soul.”

Through the System transmission, Lu Changsheng learned about the differing practices of cultivating the Swallowing God Technique.

In the way of ”The Dao of Man: taking from the insufficient to serve the surplus,” the more one plunders and devours other souls’ essences for oneself, the more severe the repercussions on one’s own soul.

Not only does it make the limited time to breakthrough to the Second Level even more pressing.

Once a state of soul chaos occurs, the loss of control will be more severe.

And the first method ”The Dao of Heaven: reducing the surplus and replenishing the insufficient” is much better by absorbing others’ Spirit Mechanism Divine Thought.

There are drawbacks and potential soul issues, but it won’t exacerbate the situation too much.

Using the Swallowing God Seed to parasitically absorb others’ Spirit Mechanism Divine Thought also involves many nuances and explanations.

For example, to achieve better effects, it’s certainly beneficial to parasitize on beings inclined towards the Soul Path.

Such as the spiritual pet [Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider] contracted by his son, Lu Chensha;

The well-known Soul Path Spirit Plant — Soul Nourishing Tree;

Or, just like his son, Lu Qingxuan, a cultivator blessed with a Soul Path Spiritual Body.

However, in Lu Changsheng’s mind, he already had a target for parasitism in this aspect.

Ghost Tree!

This Fifth Rank Spirit Plant, the sacred tree of the Ghost Soul Clan, may not be on par with the Soul Nourishing Tree as a Soul Path Spirit Plant.

But as a Fifth Rank Spirit Plant, it breathes Netherworld Ghost Qi every day, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, Turbid Energy, and Evil Qi, producing considerable Spirit Mechanism Divine Thought.

And it is precisely because of this energy and divine thought that the Ghost Tree can form a batch of cocoons every hundred years.

If Lu Changsheng chooses to cultivate the Swallowing God Technique with the [Ghost Tree], parasitizing the Swallowing God Seed, it may cause certain impacts on the Ghost Tree.

Such as stunted growth, halting its development, and slowing the efficiency and quality of cocoon formation.

”The Ghost Tree forms cocoons once every hundred years, with a maximum of ten per batch. To cultivate a unit of Dao Soldiers would take countless years.”

”Even with the [Myriad Spirits Bottle], it is challenging to cultivate the Ghost Tree. It’s better to use this Fifth Rank Spirit Plant for cultivating the Swallowing God Technique.”

Reflecting on his situation and considering the [Ghost Tree] within the System Space, Lu Changsheng decided to cultivate the ”Swallowing God Technique” to make up for his soul’s disadvantage.

Otherwise, his soul would be at a great disadvantage once it encounters a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator.

”Since that’s the case, I’ll begin cultivating the ”Swallowing God Technique” after the war concludes.”

Lu Changsheng was confident in quickly mastering the initial two levels of the Swallowing God Technique.

However, this kind of cultivation must be done in a quiet environment with preparations in advance.

It would be impossible for Lu Changsheng to go through such a process while overseeing military operations and cultivating the ”Swallowing God Technique.”

If disturbed resulting in mistakes, it could damage the soul and affect his condition.

...

Time gradually passed.

The cultivator armies of the Primordial Sect, Purple Light Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, and Qingyun Sect had all entered the borders of Liang Country, preparing to converge and enter the final decisive stage.

At this moment, Absolute Sword True Monarch sent a message,

inviting Lu Changsheng, Caiyun True Monarch, Primordial True Monarch, and Purple Light True Lord to a pre-battle meeting.

”Alright.”

After giving a word to his wife Lu Miaoge and Qian Zhuyan, Lu Changsheng flew out from the main forces to join in the discussion.

It wasn’t long before Primordial True Monarch, Absolute Sword True Monarch, Purple Light True Lord, and Caiyun True Monarch all arrived.

As for Xuanjian True Monarch, he had already infiltrated deep into the territory of Liang Country to scout the situations of Beast God Mountain, Seven Killings Sect, and Tianmu Sect’s forces.

Although the Liang Yue War was initiated by Liang Country and Yue Country, with those two countries as the battlefield,

as soon as Lu Changsheng, a Nascent Soul Giant, entered, with Liang Country trading terms with Jiang Country, the war was now primarily led by the Heavenly Sword Sect and Great Dream Immortal City.

Therefore, Xuanjian True Monarch was very invested and attentive to this war.

Upon the mobilization of the armies, he ventured deep into Liang Country to investigate the situation of Beast God Mountain.

...

”Primordial True Monarch.”

Among the four Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Absolute Sword True Monarch and Yun Wanshang, Lu Changsheng was already acquainted.

He had met Purple Light True Lord once at Red Peak Immortal City, but the meeting with Primordial True Monarch was their first.

This Primordial True Monarch wore a black-and-white Daoist robe, of intermediate build, and appeared aged, far older than the other four present.

According to Lu Changsheng’s knowledge, this Primordial True Monarch was already over eight hundred years old, older than anyone else in attendance.

That’s precisely why the Primordial Sect had been actively nurturing new Nascent Soul cultivators in recent years.

Since Primordial True Monarch was concerned that after his Passing Away, there would be no Nascent Soul cultivators to support the Primordial Sect.

”Yangming True Monarch.”

Though the Primordial True Monarch appeared aged, his spirit was vigorous, saluting the mysterious Nascent Soul Giant before him with a bow and clasped hands.

”Yangming True Monarch.” Purple Light True Lord, while saluting Lu Changsheng with a bow, showed no enthusiasm.

After all, the Purple Light Sect’s warships, spirit boats, and strategic materials in Red Peak Immortal City had all come into Lu Changsheng’s possession, causing delays and obstruction in their counter-offensive.

Especially since Lu Changsheng had previously claimed that Immortal City’s resources were pillaged by Beast God Mountain, yet now he openly used his Purple Abyss, showing complete disregard for him.

”Yangming True Monarch, according to my senior brother’s observations, aside from forcibly conscripting cultivators from Shura Sect and Heavenly Slaughter Sect, there has been little movement at Beast God Mountain, nor has there been any trace of the Demon Path Envoy...”
