Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 2854: Once You Pass Me, You Can Survive the Demonic Tribulation

”It seems the Great Palace Master knows quite a lot about me, Lu.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was calm as he spoke in an indifferent, at-ease manner.

This was the second time someone had stripped off all his identities.

In the past, he had been very worried about his identities being exposed, bringing danger and trouble to his Family, his wives, concubines, and children.

Now, though, he felt much more at ease.

The reason was simple: in the Cultivation World, unless both sides had an irreconcilable blood-deep grudge, it was rare to implicate family members, to strike at kin and bonds.

On one hand, it was a matter of overt righteousness.

On the other, it was because those with nothing to lose aren’t afraid of those who have something to lose!

After a cultivator breaks through to Nascent Soul, it is extremely difficult to kill someone of the same realm.

Having Family, disciples, and kin as bonds, people inevitably have mutual scruples when dealing with one another.

If, for the sake of revenge, you were to cut down all of the other party’s Family, faction, and bonds of kin and friendship, you would only leave yourself with a terrifying enemy!

With Lu Changsheng’s current strength, anyone, any faction that wanted to make a move against the Lu Family would have to think twice and weigh it carefully.

Especially a cultivator like Shen Jianjia, who herself had kin, disciples, and a faction.

Even so, having his identities stripped would still bring many potential dangers.

For example, if his identities as Yangming True Monarch and Changsheng True Monarch were exposed, he would certainly attract the attention of many great powers, their amazement, and their covert probing into his situation.

They might hunt Lu Family Disciples, perform Soul Searches, and use the father–son bloodline as a medium to deduce and divine.

This was also the greatest hidden danger of taking wives and having children in the Cultivation World!

It was why many cultivators lived alone, only establishing a Family and faction late in life.

”Daoist friend, you alone captured and slew six Nascent Soul Cultivators, your prestige shaking the Southern Wilderness. It truly commands admiration.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng admit it, Shen Jianjia voiced her praise.

She then gave a soft sigh and went on, ”Yet your situation, Daoist friend, leaves this palace unable to get a clear grasp of you; it makes me wary in my heart, unable to feel at ease about the matter between my younger sister and the True Monarch.”

She was not only repulsed by Lu Changsheng’s behavior of having many wives and concubines and countless descendants.

She was also extremely wary of Lu Changsheng’s situation and origins, unwilling to entangle her Palace in that karmic cause and effect.

Lu Changsheng understood the meaning behind Shen Jianjia’s words.

He even very much understood her way of thinking.

Unless one was trying to curry favor and cling to power.

Otherwise, very few people would be willing to marry their younger sister to a man with a harem, whose situation and origins were mysterious, full of unstable factors.

Even if his talent, looks, Cultivation Level, literary grace, and potential were all the very best under heaven.

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly. He knew that if he did not give a reasonable explanation, Shen Jianjia’s wariness, apprehension, and vigilance toward him would not disappear.

He then nodded and said, ”I understand Daoist friend’s misgivings, but regarding Yiren’s matter, Shen Palace Master may rest assured.”

”My feelings for Yiren are utterly sincere. Besides, Yiren already carries a child of my Lu bloodline; how could I possibly fail her and the child?”

Lu Changsheng met Shen Jianjia’s gaze levelly as he spoke.

Previously, he had planned to resolve Shen Yiren’s matter first, then bring up meeting his son Shen Yuanming.

But now, with Shen Jianjia full of vigilance and wariness, if he could not pass this trial, he feared it would be difficult to see Shen Yiren again.

”A bloodline descendant?”

Shen Jianjia’s face remained composed as she feigned ignorance.

Though there was bloodline sensing in the Cultivation World, Shen Yuanming was the Young Master of the Goddess Palace; from childhood, his Heavenly Secrets were profound, and Diviners had concealed his Heavenly Secrets and Qi Mechanism.

Unless Lu Changsheng saw Shen Yuanming in person, it would be difficult for him to sense Shen Yuanming’s existence.

”Why must the Great Palace Master pretend to be confused?”

Lu Changsheng gave a faint smile and said, ”Just now, Daoist friend asked me why most cultivators dislike founding families, while I go against the current.”

”Then I shall tell Daoist Shen!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Goddess Palace Master before him, his bearing sharpening, transcendent and otherworldly, as he met her beautiful eyes filled with infinite majesty and nobility, and he uttered four words: ”Dragon Emperor Body.”

In the early years, he could still use having no great ambitions, being enamored of women, and longing for a house full of children and grandchildren to cover his heart of seeking the Dao!

But now, no one would believe such words anymore.

Thus, he had to have a new explanation, a reason that would stand scrutiny.

And for most cultivators, the first priority was always Cultivation!

Considering the talent and behavior he had displayed, Lu Changsheng felt that being a Great Cultivation reincarnator with a Dragon Emperor Body was a very good explanation.

”Dragon Emperor Body?” Shen Jianjia’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly; she had never heard of such a Taoist Body.

But just from the words ”Taoist Body,” she knew it was as she had guessed.

This person was not only a Great Cultivation reincarnator but also possessed a peerless Taoist Body!

”The Dragon Emperor Body is one of the most top-level Constitutions in the Cultivation World, perfectly attuned to the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Great Dao!”

”Not only does its Cultivation advance with astonishing speed and no bottlenecks, it can also, through Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation, aid one’s progress, opening up one’s thoughts.”

”Moreover, with this Taoist Body one finds it easiest to beget children, and most of one’s descendants are born exceptionally gifted!”

Lu Changsheng slowly described the effects of the Dragon Emperor Body.

Though this Taoist Body had only been found by Hong Lian in some records, and its actual existence was uncertain.

Lu Changsheng was already fluent in spinning tales about it, even fabricating a version of the Dragon Emperor Body unique to himself.

”It is precisely because of the Dragon Emperor Body that, upon entering the Goddess Palace, I sensed that there was a bloodline descendant between Yiren and me.”

Lu Changsheng spoke solemnly: ”Lu places great importance on bloodline descendants. Since Daoist Shen has already investigated and learned my information, I imagine you are aware of this.”

Shen Jianjia had no doubts about the explanation of the ”Dragon Emperor Body.”

But she guessed that this Taoist Body was far from being as simple as he had described.

There were likely other effects, other secrets.

Still, matters concerning Taoist Bodies were very grave.

No cultivator would lay bare their Cultivation Technique Divine Abilities and the full details of their Taoist Body to others.

After a brief silence, Shen Jianjia said, ”This palace naturally believes in Daoist friend’s earnest heart.”

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator, given the strength of her Goddess Palace, she could simply ignore his request to recognize kin with her nephew Shen Yuanming.
