Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1733: 439: Ayoudo Greets the Lord, Undying Golden Body! (3)

Furthermore, under the sway of the Seven Absolute Love Gu, she experienced a profound sense of comfort, allowing her mind and physical form to unwind entirely.

"In that case, you might attempt to locate it once your strength has returned somewhat."

Lu Changsheng mused that while the Myriad Demon Abyss was perilous, it was perhaps not as formidable as rumors suggested.

Or rather, if he collaborated with the Five Poisons Cult Leader, a basic investigation should prove manageable.

"Mm~"

The Five Poisons Cult Leader murmured a soft reply, her expression veiled in exhaustion and a deep yearning for slumber.

Her condition was dire; not only was her body ravaged by injuries and her mana in disarray, but the Magic Power Origin inherent to her physique had been plundered by Lu Changsheng, leaving her severely drained.

Observing her state, Lu Changsheng signaled for her to take her rest.

Initially, his activation of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone had drained a massive amount of his Qi and Blood Magical Power, a loss that typically required a month of recuperation.

However, through the process of dual cultivation, the Primordial Yin and Magic Power Origin obtained from the Five Poisons Cult Leader had facilitated a total recovery, even pushing his cultivation realm to new heights.

Once the Five Poisons Cult Leader had drifted off, Lu Changsheng retrieved several Superior Grade Spirit Stones to bolster the nearby formation. He then administered a bottle of elixir medicines to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng before settling into meditation to stabilize his mana realm.

The Myriad Demon Abyss was notoriously devoid of spiritual energy, making it a poor environment for traditional cultivation.

Nevertheless, utilizing elixir medicines and spirit stones for progress remained viable.

As for the Kunpeng Demon Body’s ability to refine demonic qi, evil qi, or turbid energy, Lu Changsheng avoided this for now; such energies could compromise his mana purity, though they remained useful for replenishing reserves during intense combat.

...

Deep within the White Rainbow Mountain Range of Wu Country, a conflict at the Nascent Soul level was unfolding, the sheer force of the battle pulverizing numerous mountain peaks.

Abruptly, twelve pillars of light, reaching tens of feet into the air, flared upward. They effectively trapped a burly young man standing between two figures.

"This is bad!"

The burly youth, sensing the trap as the formation restrictions locked down around him, immediately attempted to flee through the void.

However, the figure cloaked in black nearby was prepared. With hands moving in rapid incantations, the beams of light transformed into twelve roaring Azure Dragons that lunged toward the youth.

"Boom boom boom—"

The youth’s Qi-blood surged with a thunderous roar, sounding as if a vast ocean was incinerating within his veins as he clashed with the Azure Dragons.

Despite his staggering power, the twelve Azure Dragons held firm, resisting his attempts to break free.

As the struggle dragged on, the burly man’s stamina began to wane. Noticing the opening, the black-robed man deployed a chain treasure.

The chain radiated a brilliant light, resembling a golden flood dragon as it sought to ensnare and bind the exhausted warrior.

But in that fleeting moment.

"Roar!!!"

A draconic cry thundered from the depths of the burly man's powerful physique.

A golden dragon-shaped aura surged from his spine, wrapping around his frame and manifesting as a set of fierce, majestic dragon-shaped armor.

"Clang!"

Transformed into a half-dragon, half-human entity with a draconic head and a body pulsing with raw power, the man threw a fist toward the golden flood dragon with enough force to seemingly crack the heavens.

"What is this boy's background? To possess such a physique at the Foundation Establishment Stage is incredible, yet he still hides such techniques!"

The black-robed man was visibly shaken by Lu Ping’an’s transformation, his expression shifting with shock.

Fortunately, his preparations were thorough. He immediately triggered a Third Rank Top-Level Talisman, utilizing the pre-arranged killing formation to relentlessly strike at Lu Ping’an and wear him down.

"Curse it!"

Even with the Wild Dragon Spine pushing his physical strength to the absolute peak of the Third Rank Middle Stage, Lu Ping’an found himself unable to shatter the killing formation.

Furthermore, the black-robed adversary was clearly focused on him, employing specific tactics to neutralize his physical advantages and bleed away his energy.

Every time he tried to use raw strength or talismans to force an escape, his opponent countered him perfectly.

In this moment, Lu Ping’an felt the bitter reality of having a powerful body but lacking the mana cultivation to match.

Without overwhelming dominance, a body-refining cultivator remained at a disadvantage against the versatile techniques of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Who are you? Why have you targeted my White Emperor City!?"

Lu Ping’an glared at the black-robed figure, his voice low and heavy.

He had pursued this individual because many of the city's warriors had fallen by his hand.

Now, he realized the truth: he had been lured here on purpose.

The black-robed man remained silent, focused entirely on manipulating the formation to grind down Lu Ping’an’s resistance.

Hours turned into days.

Observing the dragon-like Qi and Blood Magical Power radiating from Lu Ping’an, the black-robed man was stunned; it was hard to credit that such power belonged to a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

If someone had claimed this was an Ancient Orthodox Body Cultivator, he would have believed them without question.

The vigor of that Qi and Blood was simply unprecedented!

Yet, the more impressive the boy was, the more the man's excitement grew. His eyes gleamed with greed as he whispered, "The master will be beyond pleased with such a physical vessel!"

Eventually, after seven grueling days and nights, the Great Wilderness Dragon Spine and the Hope Gu could no longer sustain him. Exhausted, Lu Ping’an was finally ensnared by the golden chains of the black-robed man.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

The black-robed man acted with extreme caution, casting a spell to render Lu Ping’an unconscious. He then embedded several talismans and secret treasures into the boy's body to seal his magical power before departing with his prize.

After an indeterminate amount of time, they arrived at a towering, ominous mountain.

The peak was a void of silence and pitch-black rock, littered with the bleached bones of humans and demon beasts alike—a place of profound danger.

Indifferent to the surroundings, the black-robed man carried Lu Ping’an into the mountain's depths.

Eventually, they emerged from the gloom into a subterranean palace bathed in a radiant glow.

The Spiritual Energy here was exceptionally pure and vibrant. At the heart of this underground hall sat a vast pool.

It resembled a Spiritual Eye Spring, crystal clear and shimmering with a subtle golden light.

"I greet the master. I have secured a cultivator—a Foundation Establishment youth with a Third Rank physique and immense fortune. He possesses top-tier treasures and a body that..."

The black-robed man bowed deeply toward the pool.

"A Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a physique matching the Third Rank Late Stage?"

The water began to churn, and a withered, skeletal form that barely resembled a human rose from the depths.

"Swoosh!"

From this decaying shell, a small golden nascent soul, roughly a foot in height, flickered into existence directly in front of Lu Ping’an as if traversing space itself.

"Hiss... to have refined his body to this degree at such a tender age; his Qi and Blood are like a dragon, pure and bursting with potential. And this spine... it is like a true dragon's bone. This child's destiny is extraordinary."

"But how can such a body possess only a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root?"

The golden nascent soul examined Lu Ping’an closely. His initial joy turned into a slight frown of confusion.

Before a Nascent Soul True Lord, none of Lu Ping’an’s attributes could remain hidden.

"While his Spiritual Root is mediocre, the rest of him is top-tier. He is more than qualified to serve as a backup vessel. Now, let us test his compatibility with my Undying Golden Body."

With a flick of the nascent soul's will, Lu Ping’an was submerged in the pool, the life-giving waters beginning to wash over him.

Simultaneously, golden light began to seep from the master's original, bloodless corpse into Lu Ping’an’s frame.

"White Wolf, you have done well. Stand guard outside; I shall summon you when it is time."

The golden nascent soul addressed the black-robed man with a voice that carried the weight of ages.

"As you command, master!"

Seeing Lu Ping’an placed in the Life Pool, the black-robed man felt a surge of relief and joy, knowing the master was satisfied with the choice.

He had spent years scouring the land for talented body-refiners. To have finally found such a perfect vessel for his master filled him with anticipation.

After all, once the master successfully performed the body snatching and regained his peak power, his own rewards would be immense!

Once the subordinate had retreated, the golden nascent soul watched the sleeping Lu Ping’an in silence.

The golden essence from the old body continued to flow steadily into the boy.

Though Lu Ping’an remained in a stupor, the 'Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art'—now merged with the Great Wilderness Dragon Spine—was functioning on instinct, actively refining the incoming golden energy.

At the same time, his pores drank in the concentrated life force of the spring water.

"Hiss, his compatibility with my Undying Golden Body is remarkably high! It seems the heavens have not abandoned me, Yu Tiansheng!"

The golden nascent soul’s face lit up with pure elation.

With a sudden flash of movement, it dove directly into Lu Ping’an’s body.
