Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 371: Chapter 200: Cao Xiang’er Breaks Through the Purple Mansion, Heaven’s Pride, An Auspicious Start_3

”Young Clan Leader, it seems that brat Xu Changqing next door is up to his devilish tricks again.”

Situ Feng was unperturbed upon hearing this, remaining seated with his eyes closed in meditation, as if the affairs of the Noble Family had no bearing on him.

Seeing this, Situ Daoo reluctantly shut his mouth.

.....

The crowd waited for about half a cup of tea’s time.

Fu Changsheng noticed everyone sitting quietly as if waiting for something, and his heart stirred. He transmitted a message to Shangguan Hongyu:

”Hongyu, is there anyone else coming?”

”Yes, I heard from my father that the one responsible for opening the Canglan Secret Realm this time is none other than the Governor of the Jingzhou World Suppression Bureau.”

Governor?

Fu Changsheng’s pupils contracted.

If he recalled correctly, to serve as a Governor in Great Zhou, one’s cultivation must reach the Purple Mansion Realm. It meant he was about to meet a genuine Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion.

Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel somewhat excited.

At present, he had the Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, but a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion was unheard of; he wasn’t aware of what awe-inspiring power this legendary figure wielded.

A while later.

Suddenly, Master Liu, who had been sitting with eyes closed, abruptly opened them and stood up quickly, then turned to address everyone from South Huai Prefecture:

”The Governor is about to arrive, quickly rise to welcome them.”

Cultivators from South Huai Prefecture and North Huai Prefecture lined up to greet him.

At this moment.

A dim white light emerged from the Teleportation Array, followed by a figure draped in a flowing azure Daoist Robe, embroidered with cloud-dancing dragons, striding in mid-air from the Array.

Behind Fu Changsheng, Fu Changli almost couldn’t help but exclaim:

”Patriarch, this Governor can walk on wind without using any Flying Spiritual Artifact; this is amazing.”

This was the power of a formidable being.

Fu Changsheng watched, his heart stirring fervently.

When the Governor stood firm.

Master Liu led everyone in speaking loudly:

”Welcome, Governor!”

With long hair tied behind and secured with a jade hairpin, the Governor appeared clean and personable, gesturing for everyone to rise.

His right hand flipped.

A Jade Talisman floated in front, accompanied by a Technique he embedded into it. With a resonance, a beam of light descended on the stone wall ahead, causing it to rumble.

Soon after, a Spirit Mirror materialized before them.

Mists swirled within the Spirit Mirror.

The Governor formed a Dharma Seal with his right hand, releasing torrents of Mana which crashed into the Spirit Mirror with a thunderous roar, causing the mists within to churn, then coalescing into a vortex.

The Governor retrieved his Dharma Seal.

A wave of his sleeve.

Countless Tokens floated towards everyone:

”These are Guiding Tokens, one for each person. Imprint them with your Spiritual Mark, and the Spirit Mirror’s pulling power will lead you into the Secret Realm. You have half a cup of tea’s time, after which, when the Spirit Mirror’s Barrier closes, it will reopen a year later, and as long you possess the token, you’ll be transported out naturally.”

”What you gain in the Secret Realm is yours.”

”There is only one rule.”

”Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects acquired in the Secret Realm must be submitted to the Court. Naturally, the Court won’t take them for free and will reward you a certain number of Foundation Establishment Pills based on your submissions.”

”Additionally,”

”In the Noble Family with the largest submission, besides the deserved rewards, the Court will grant an extra three Foundation Establishment Pills.”

Fu Changsheng was stunned by these words.

It seemed the Court wanted to maintain a firm grasp on the soul of the Noble Family, unwilling to leak even a shred of Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine.

Fu Changsheng said to Meizhen and the others:

”When transported into the Secret Realm, if we end up in different locations, remember to communicate via Jade Talisman.”

Everyone nodded.

Fu Changsheng imprinted his Spiritual Mark on the Token, then felt the Spirit Mirror’s pulling force envelop him, transformed into a beam of rainbow light, plunging into the Spirit Mirror.

A sensation of spinning and disorientation overcame him.

Fu Changsheng endured the discomfort, gripping the Primordial Alms Bowl during transmission.

He didn’t know how long it lasted.

With a hum.

Fu Changsheng felt the pulling force dissipate.

Soon after, he was thrown violently:

”Roar!”

Not yet able to discern his surroundings,

A terrifying sound wave hit his face:

”Divine Soul Attack!”

Fu Changsheng felt his head buzzing, never expecting to be attacked before landing.

In critical moments.

He swung the Human Emperor Banner in hand.

”Roar!”

Autumn Cicada responded.

The Extreme Cold Demon Chant arrived in an instant, clashing with the returning sound wave with a boom.

Fu Changsheng pointed at the Cyan Python, its wings fluttering, immediately escaping from the cave, soaring into the sky, sweeping his Divine Sense to realize he had just landed in a cliff cave.

A Double-headed Goose occupied the cave, resembling neither an eagle nor bird, with wings spanning several feet, two bald aggressive bird heads.

Double-headed Goose’s Tier Two Late Stage Cultivation.

Its specialties being Divine Soul Attack and speed.

Upon noticing its Divine Soul Attack blocked by Autumn Cicada, it sensed something amiss, flapped its wings intending to rush out of the cave. Once outside, its flight speed would even surpass the Cyan Python.

Fu Changsheng immediately activated the Primordial Alms Bowl.

Hum!

A streak of trispectral brilliance shot out from the Primordial Alms Bowl, as fast as lightning, charging towards the Double-headed Goose, causing it to screech, but its Lifebound Feather at its tail soared up, dense Demon Qi transforming into a descending light shield for protection.

Boom!

The brilliance impacted the light shield.

The shield merely quivered, not shattering.

Just as the Double-headed Goose felt smug.

Soon after.

A bow and crossbow emerged from the void, three arrow-like Purple Qi Divine Light shot from it, followed the trajectory of the brilliance, crashing onto the Double-headed Goose’s Lifebound Feather-formed shield.

”Crack crack”

The light shield shattered on impact.

The Double-headed Goose screeched.

Hurriedly spat out its Demon Pill.

At this moment.

Autumn Cicada’s Extreme Cold Demon Chant activated again.

The unshielded Double-headed Goose paused briefly.

Two arrow-like Purple Qi Divine Lights, accompanied by whooshing sounds, split apart, swiftly piercing through its two heads’ foreheads.
