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

Chapter 1081: 240: Tianyuan Secret Realm!

The news of the Four Great Immortal Sects opening the Tianyuan Secret Realm did not cause much of a stir in the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.

After all, this secret realm had little to do with most cultivators.

Nine out of ten cultivators in Jiang Country hadn’t even heard of the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

However, the Four Great Immortal Sects releasing a portion of the secret realm quotas to their subordinate family forces caused these families to be both excited and joyful.

Yet amidst the joy, some couldn’t help but feel unease.

They only had a vague understanding of the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

They had heard rumors of how the opportunities within this realm drew the covetous gaze of many cultivators from other nations. There were even whispers of demonic path Nascent Soul cultivators lurking within the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, scheming to seize these opportunities.

They feared the dangers they might encounter upon entering the secret realm.

At this very moment.

The Zhang Family of Little Kong Mountain.
”Honored Envoy, this is the list of subordinate family forces under the jurisdiction of the Luoxia Sect that have been granted quotas for the Tianyuan Secret Realm.”

The Zhang Family patriarch knelt outside the forbidden courtyard of his family’s grounds, prostrated himself, and presented a jade slip with a respectful tone.

”The Tianyuan Secret Realm is finally about to open?”

A serene and indifferent, yet slightly delighted and enchanting voice spoke from within the pavilion.

A slender and graceful jade hand extended, taking the jade slip to assess its contents.

A moment later, the figure dissolved into a cascade of purple stardust, vanishing without a trace.

Such events, like at the Zhang Family of Little Kong Mountain, occurred in many other places.

”Now, it’s only a matter of waiting for the fish to take the bait.”

”This battle must not be lost!”

At the same time, the high-ranking members of the Four Great Immortal Sects in Jiang Country were also mobilizing in succession.

For a time, hidden currents churned fiercely within the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.

...

Bi Lake Mountain.

Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.

”It’s finally complete!”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, gazing at the translucent, crystal-like Formless Treasure Wheel before him, emitting a faint golden glow.

With a subtle mental command, the treasure wheel hovered behind him, radiating nine-colored divine light, making his whole being appear sacred and extraordinary, with an awe-inspiring and solemn majesty.

”Buzz!”

The treasure wheel began to spin, its radiance brilliant. Around Lu Changsheng, it seemed as though endless flames blazed and deafening thunder roared. In an instant, flying swords materialized one after another, forming a menacing assault.

However, these attacks caused no actual damage to the Cave Heaven.

They were all mere illusions created by the Formless Treasure Wheel.

The effects were both realistic and illusory;even a Nascent Soul cultivator would need to discern carefully.

In battle, even if such illusions could be recognized, they would still disrupt the opponent’s mental focus.

If he combined this effect with a technique or divine skill capable of truly blending illusion with reality, he could catch his opponents completely off guard.

”It’s a pity that I’ve lacked the time and conditions to cultivate the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique. Otherwise, it would pair perfectly with the Formless Treasure Wheel.”

Lu Changsheng pondered to himself.

The Six Desires Heart Demon Technique was an intricate divine consciousness cultivation technique.

If cultivated to profound levels, it could blur reality and illusion, deceiving and disrupting others’ sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought.

However, cultivating this technique was exceptionally dangerous and troublesome, requiring one to temper themselves against the seven emotions and six desires.

”Domain!”

Lu Changsheng formed a gesture incantation with one hand, and the Formless Treasure Wheel behind him suddenly trembled.

The originally three-foot-wide wheel expanded to seven or eight feet. Its intricate, radiant crystalline patterns began to flow, forming an invisible field that enveloped Lu Changsheng within.

This domain became increasingly tangible, forming a protective spiritual light that flowed around Lu Changsheng’s body.

”Formless Domain!”

Lu Changsheng formed successive incantations with his hands, his expression steady and focused.

”Buzz!”

In that instant, the spinning Formless Treasure Wheel seemed to burn like a miniature sun, exuding an oppressive aura capable of suppressing mountains, rivers, and the vast heavens.

Lu Changsheng’s divine sense swiftly entered the Formless Domain.

Inside, it resembled a boundless void.

There were no rules or boundaries.

Vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch—all seemed to vanish, making it impossible to discern one’s location.

If one were to open their eyes and suddenly find themselves in such a place, even a cultivator would feel a surge of fear.

”Light!”

With a subtle shift of his mental focus, Lu Changsheng activated the Formless Treasure Wheel with his mana.

Instantly, the void gained a faint luster.

But Lu Changsheng was well aware that it was merely an illusion.

The true Formless Domain was nothing but a confined void space!

”Not bad.”

After a brief experience of the Formless Treasure Wheel’s effects, Lu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.

With a mere thought, he retracted the treasure into his Qi Ocean Core within his dantian and stepped out of his cave mansion.

”Changsheng.”

Lu Miaoge, who had been instructing her son, sensed his presence. Seeing Lu Changsheng, she approached to discuss the matter of the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

”So soon?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, then smiled, ”Good.”

”By the way, Changsheng...”

Lu Miaoge went on to inform Lu Changsheng about another matter.

A few days ago, a Foundation Establishment faction called Misty Rain Market came to Bi Lake Mountain to seek help, expressing their willingness to become a vassal.

”Misty Rain Market?”

”I recall that their Prefect once came to us before but refused to accept the terms of vassalage. Why have they come again seeking it?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, recalling some impressions of this marketplace.

They had previously visited Bi Lake Mountain, hinting at their intention to seek protection.

However, their offered benefits were too meager, leading to no agreement. Instead, they only established a basic cooperative relationship, allowing the Lu Family Commerce Association to set up within Misty Rain Market.

”Yes.”

Lu Miaoge, her features refined and voice gentle, explained, ”This matter is connected to the Sima Family.”

”Previously, when Ping’an was pursuing Sima Tong, the latter was ultimately captured at Misty Rain Market.”

”It seems that after Sima Tong returned to his family some days ago, he was unwilling to let the matter rest. He sent people to Misty Rain Market to demand accountability, prompting Prefect Yu to seek our assistance and agree to vassalage.”

Lu Miaoge explained calmly.

”The Sima Family truly is overbearing.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly at this and said, ”If they’re now willing to accept vassalage and provide sufficient benefits, there’s no harm in agreeing.”
