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

Chapter 1070: 236: Pioneer Order, Tianyuan Secret Realm Quota! (4)

After speaking, she looked at Lu Changsheng, her eyes as tranquil as water, her aura imposing. Her voice was like ancient, unyielding ice as she stated, ”Lu Changsheng, the same applies to you. Even if I consider past relations, I will show no mercy.”

”Please rest assured, True Immortal!”

Lu Changsheng’s handsome face bore a faint smile at the corner of his lips, his demeanor one of confidence and certainty as he replied calmly.

Then, he lightly squeezed Xiao Xiyue’s jade-like hand, signaling her not to worry.

This scene left Yun Wanshang slightly puzzled, curious as to the source of Lu Changsheng’s undeniable confidence.

However, she couldn’t deny that Lu Changsheng, full of confidence and brimming with vigor in this moment, was truly captivating, completely distinct from his usual shameless demeanor...

”Master, this disciple understands.”

Though Xiao Xiyue inwardly lacked full confidence, under Lu Changsheng’s encouragement, she still cupped her hands respectfully and responded.

”Hmm.”

Yun Wanshang nodded slightly and shifted her gaze to Lu Changsheng again, speaking, ”Regarding the matter with the Sima Family of Profound Martial Ridge, I have already sent someone to handle it.”
”Afterward, the Sima Family will provide compensation, which I will have delivered to Bi Lake Mountain. Thus, this matter ends here;with my writ in hand, the Sima Family will not dare think of retaliation against you in the future.”

Yun Wanshang spoke with certainty.

Though it was only a writ.

The fact that she personally intervened and resolved the issue was tantamount to announcing to the outside world that Bi Lake Mountain was backed by the Qingyun Sect and Caiyun Peak’s lineage.

Under such circumstances, unless Bi Lake Mountain initiated trouble themselves,

the Beast Taming Xu Family would certainly think twice before making a move against Bi Lake Mountain.

”Many thanks, True Immortal!”

Lu Changsheng cupped his hands and responded.

He knew that, with this layer of deterrence provided by Yun Wanshang, his foundation would be secure, and he could develop steadily for quite some time ahead.

”Your family has come this far;in the days to come, maintain a lower profile. Excessive flamboyance is not a blessing.”

Yun Wanshang’s voice softened slightly, cold yet melodious, carrying a regal authority befitting her lofty position.

”Oh?”

Lu Changsheng paused for a moment, picking up on a deeper implication in Yun Wanshang’s words.

He immediately cupped his hands and inquired, ”I beseech True Immortal for guidance!”

”When any Immortal Sect develops to a certain stage, they issue a Pioneer Order to initiate an expansion war.”

”It has been several centuries since Qingyun Sect last issued a Pioneer Order.”

”In recent years, incidents have erupted repeatedly between Yue Country and Liang Country. Should these conflicts escalate into full-blown war, Jiang Country may also be implicated and dragged into the fray.”

”Moreover, Jiang Country itself has not been peaceful in these years. You must have noticed as much.”

Yun Wanshang shot a glance at Lu Changsheng and spoke in an even tone.

Hearing these words, Lu Changsheng’s heart sank.

He faintly perceived the underlying meaning in Yun Wanshang’s words.

There was a likelihood that Jiang Country would, in the near future, face either an Immortal Sect expansion or a full-scale Cultivation World war!

Both expansion wars and Cultivation World wars signified bloodshed and peril!

Once such a war erupted, every cultivator in Jiang Country, whether loose cultivator or family-affiliated, would be unconditionally bound to follow the commands of the Immortal Sects!

In years past, when mobilizing forces to exterminate the Xiahou Family and Demonic Path cultivators, numerous families had fallen into decline as a result.

The dangers of a war in the Cultivation World could only be imagined.

Countless families would either rise or be annihilated in such processes!

And at that time, the larger and stronger a family’s forces, the greater their expected contribution!

”Many thanks for the guidance, True Immortal. Lu Changsheng understands.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes sharpened as he nodded in response.

A war of this scale would involve disciples of the Immortal Sects being conscripted to the battlefield.

Thus, even with Yun Wanshang’s support, there was no avoiding it.

Yun Wanshang’s reminder was clearly meant to warn him that the signs were already emerging, and he should refrain from revealing too much of his power prematurely.

”Hmm.”

Yun Wanshang nodded slightly and continued, ”Soon, the Four Great Immortal Sects will open the Tianyuan Secret Realm. At that time, Bi Lake Mountain will be granted a spot.”

”Prepare yourself well and enter the Tianyuan Secret Realm to comprehend the Celestial Monument. It will be beneficial to you.”

”As for the specifics of the Tianyuan Secret Realm, you may inquire with Xiyue.”

Yun Wanshang, possessor of supreme elegance, wore no adornments, yet her beauty was stunning and regal.

”The Tianyuan Secret Realm? Comprehend the Celestial Monument?”

Lu Changsheng blinked in surprise, not expecting this sudden turn of events about the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

He was, of course, familiar with the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

Years ago, Xiao Xiyue had accompanied Caiyun True Immortal and senior sister Chu Qingyi in pioneering the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

Now, with rumors abounding that the Secret Realm was attracting numerous foreign Core Formation cultivators coveting its opportunities,

Yun Wanshang was suggesting that the Four Great Immortal Sects would open it up, allowing him to comprehend the Celestial Monument?

Before he could ask further questions, Caiyun True Immortal waved her hand, dismissing them and closing the hall doors.

”Xiyue, what is the situation with this Tianyuan Secret Realm?”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng turned to Xiao Xiyue for clarification.

Previously, due to sect rules and her Dao Heart oath, Xiao Xiyue had been unable to divulge much, so Lu Changsheng hadn’t pressed her then.

”The Tianyuan Secret Realm should now have been thoroughly cleared. The Celestial Monument is one of the opportunities within.”

”As for its origins, I am not entirely sure. All I know is that everyone can use the monument to comprehend cultivation insights, gaining Dao enlightenment, cultivation experiences, or even Cultivation Technique inheritances...”

Xiao Xiyue explained, indicating that both she and her master had secured substantial gains from the monument in the past.

However, each person could only comprehend the Celestial Monument once, with no second opportunities.

”Now the outside world is abuzz with news of the Tianyuan Secret Realm. Even many foreign Core Formation Immortals are being drawn to claim its opportunities.”

Lu Changsheng frowned and muttered, ”Opening the Tianyuan Secret Realm at this moment—is there a trap involved?”

He had experienced the Jiuxiao Immortal City incident early in his cultivation journey.

He knew the Heavenly Sword Sect was not to be trusted.

Back then, when Xuanjian True Monarch was challenged by the Jin Kingdom’s Demonic Path True Monarch, the Heavenly Sword Sect had knowingly allowed the Demonic Path cultivators, who harbored ill intent, to infiltrate Jiang Country and plot within Jiuxiao Immortal City.

They had then ambushed and captured a Core Formation cultivator, killing two others and wiping out seven or eight False Core practitioners.

If not for one Core Formation cultivator self-destructing their True Elixir in a desperate bid, the Demonic Path forces would have suffered even greater losses.

Now, with the Tianyuan Secret Realm reopening, it reminded him of the Jiuxiao Immortal City incident, making him suspect that the Four Great Immortal Sects were using this as an opportunity to lure in Demonic Path cultivators for an ambush and to assert dominance.

Otherwise, the timing seemed far too coincidental.

”Not foolish at all.”

Within the palace, Yun Wanshang’s lips curved into a faint smile upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s remark.

Her decision to have Lu Changsheng enter the Tianyuan Secret Realm was partly due to the benefits of the Celestial Monument for him.

If he could gain enlightenment or a Cultivation Technique inheritance from it, his chances of forming a Core would improve in the future.

On the other hand, she found herself increasingly unable to discern Lu Changsheng’s depths.

Thus, she saw the Tianyuan Secret Realm as an opportunity to test him.

”This...”

Xiao Xiyue, hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, felt he was likely correct.

Even though she knew Lu Changsheng had already broken through to Core Formation and become a Nascent Soul Immortal, she remained somewhat concerned.

After all, Lu Changsheng had only reached Core Formation three years ago.

With no completed Divine Skills or Magical Treasures in hand, he might encounter danger.

”It’s fine.”

Lu Changsheng, seeing Xiao Xiyue’s worried expression, held her hand and spoke gently.

Under normal circumstances, he would avoid meddling in such a Secret Realm.

But with Yun Wanshang’s explicit instruction, refusing out of fear might disappoint her.

Since that was the case, he would make the trip.

Moreover, if the Four Great Immortal Sects dared to proceed, they were surely confident and wouldn’t send people to their deaths recklessly.

Of course, the primary reason was that he now had enough strength to feel assured.

As long as no Nascent Soul True Monarch appeared, he was confident he could escape even from a Late Stage Core Formation Great Cultivator.

”Hmm, senior sister will be stationed in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. If danger arises, Changsheng, you may seek her protection...”

Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly, offering a reassuring suggestion.
