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

Chapter 1106: 248: Yun Wanshang: Is this Sword Cultivator Lu Changsheng? (3)

Yun Wanshang shook her head.

This was also the part she couldn’t figure out.

Why would a Core Formation Sword Cultivator appear in the secret realm, and even go so far as to save Chu Qingyi?

The only possibility she could think of was that the other party coveted her disciple’s sword cultivation inheritance.

“Hmm!?”

At that moment, Yun Wanshang noticed that Xiao Xiyue didn’t seem as grief-stricken anymore.

Though Xiao Xiyue cultivated the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, maintaining a serene state of mind unshaken by emotions,

as her master, Yun Wanshang knew her well enough to understand that whenever her disciple mentioned Lu Changsheng, she seemed like a completely different person.

There was no way she could have calmed down so quickly.

Could it be that Xiyue knew something?
Knew that Lu Changsheng was unharmed?

Yun Wanshang’s delicate brows furrowed slightly as she suddenly recalled an incident from years past.

When Chu Qingyi was investigating matters related to the Xiahou Family, she was hunted down by Xiahou Wuwo, poisoned by corpse toxins, and rescued by a loose cultivator named Han Li.

Later, Yun Wanshang discovered that this so-called loose cultivator, Han Li, was actually Lu Changsheng in disguise.

Beyond this, she remembered Chu Qingyi once telling her that when this Han Li used Sword Qi to expel the poison for her, their Sword Hearts resonated, and he praised her for her extraordinary talent in the Sword Dao.

A Sword Cultivator!

Lu Changsheng was a Sword Cultivator!?

Could it be...

“Xiyue, do you know something?”

She fixed her gaze on her disciple and asked aloud.

Under Yun Wanshang’s penetrating stare, Xiao Xiyue felt as though her very soul was being laid bare. She knew her master had likely already deduced something by asking such a question.

But she wasn’t certain how much her master actually knew.

Considering the gravity of Lu Changsheng’s secret, she softly replied, “Changsheng once received a Sword Dao inheritance. So I was thinking, the Sword Cultivator who rescued Senior Sister—could it perhaps be related to Changsheng...”

“Related to Lu Changsheng...”

Yun Wanshang looked at Xiao Xiyue before her, her gaze as deep and unfathomable as a pool.

If this Core Formation Sword Cultivator was connected to Lu Changsheng, or rather... was Lu Changsheng himself,

then that would be truly astonishing.

She recalled the first time she met Lu Changsheng years ago;at that time, he was merely a little cultivator at the Fourth Level Energy Refinement stage.

Yet in just a few years, he had already reached the Peak of Qi Refining, excelling in both the Law Body and Taoist Body.

By the third time they met, he had achieved Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivation.

Now, decades had passed, and though his cultivation seemed stagnant on the surface,

she had sensed during their dual cultivation sessions that he was hiding his true progress. He had likely long since broken through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

But a breakthrough to Core Formation—wouldn’t that be too incredible...

Even if Lu Changsheng were at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, she might have been able to understand.

But where would a mere clan cultivator like him acquire the Core Formation Spiritual Objects or a Daoist site to achieve Core Formation?

Unless Lu Changsheng possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root, or was in fact blessed with a Supreme Taoist Body...

“A Supreme Taoist Body...”

Yun Wanshang’s mind raced for a moment before she turned to look at Xiao Xiyue and said, “Hmm, head to Bi Lake Mountain for now.”

She knew Xiao Xiyue likely had some knowledge but wasn’t willing to reveal it, so she didn’t press further and decided to seek others to divine the situation instead.

“Thank you, Master.”

Xiao Xiyue bit her lip softly, bowed respectfully, and turned into a streak of escape light as she departed Caiyun Peak for Bi Lake Mountain.

“If this Sword Cultivator really is Lu Changsheng...”

Yun Wanshang watched Xiao Xiyue’s departing figure and recalled the time when she had been afflicted by the Red Phoenix Karma Fire, only to be saved by Lu Changsheng, forging a deep connection between the two.

Her disciple Xiao Xiyue had been ambushed and rescued by Lu Changsheng, who, to repay the karmic debt for saving her life and aiding her cultivation, had offered to assist her own Foundation Establishment with her Spiritual Body, and then...

“If...”

Just as the thought surfaced, Yun Wanshang dared not think further and shook her head to dispel the notion.

...

Qingyun Sect, Ancestor’s Hall.

“Junior Brother Du, how is it?”

The Qingyun Sect Leader and Yun Wanshang looked at the purple-robed elder before them and asked aloud.

“Whew!”

The purple-robed elder had a somewhat weary expression. Exhaling deeply, he cupped his hands slightly and said, “Sect Leader, a certain mysterious force is obscuring Heaven’s Secrets. Even with the Soul Lamp, I am unable to divine True Person Qingyi’s whereabouts or situation.”

“Obscuring Heaven’s Secrets.”

The Qingyun Sect Leader and Yun Wanshang exchanged glances, both seeing the gravity in each other’s eyes.

Although they didn’t understand the art of divination, they knew that there were numerous methods in the world capable of interfering with or disrupting Heavenly Secrets.

For Heavenly Secrets to be obscured meant that the place where Chu Qingyi was located had some unusual issues.

With the collapse of the Tianyuan Secret Realm, those trapped inside could potentially have been drawn into the Great Void.

And the Great Void naturally had the chaotic property of obscuring Heavenly Secrets.

“Junior Brother Du, thank you for your efforts.”

The Qingyun Sect Leader courteously spoke to the purple-robed elder, understanding that divinations and such matters couldn’t be forced.

The effort spent on calculating Chu Qingyi’s situation had clearly consumed a significant amount of the elder’s vitality, and he would require a long period of rest to recover.

“Sect Leader, you are too kind.”

The purple-robed elder cupped his hands slightly and then took his leave.

After the elder departed, the Qingyun Sect Leader continued, “Junior Sister Caiyun, don’t worry. I will immediately inform the Supreme Elder and request Senior Bu Suanzi to take action, making another attempt to divine Qingyi’s situation.”

Divination, of course, had varying levels of mastery.

Although this purple-robed elder was one of Qingyun Sect’s top diviners, his skills were not particularly profound.

“Sect Leader Brother, there’s no need for that. I will head to Heavenly Sword Sect later.”

“If Qingyi has indeed been drawn into the Great Void, only a True Monarch will be able to rescue her.”

Yun Wanshang shook her head and spoke decisively.

“Very well.”

The Qingyun Sect Leader nodded, knowing that the Tianyuan Secret Realm matter was primarily under the leadership of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Now that such an incident had occurred, it was both reasonable and necessary for Heavenly Sword Sect to assist.

Moreover, the Xuanjian True Monarch from the Heavenly Sword Sect was not only a Sword Cultivator but also proficient in the art of divination.
