Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1745: 443: Innate Chaotic Sword Body Dao Embryo, the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family’s Scheme!

"It is whispered that the City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City holds True Master Changsheng’s dual cultivation secrets in high regard, which is precisely why he was recruited for the position. If the couple joins forces, they might truly possess the strength to challenge a Middle Stage Core Formation Cultivator!"

"The Lu Ancestor has a son named Lu Chensha. Back in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, he utilized a Second Rank Monster Beast while still in the Energy Refining stage to massacre the disciples of the Shendao Shangguan Family. This clearly suggests that the Lu Family has inherited some high-level Beast Taming techniques!"

"Sigh, despite the Lu Family being a newly risen power with a shallow foundation, their achievements are nothing short of breathtaking!"

"Indeed, and let’s not forget Lu Ping’an, the eldest son. In that same secret realm, he relied on his Body Refinement path and Dao Soldiers to force back Shangguan Jiuyang. He has been laying low for years; it’s highly probable he has reached Core Formation and is simply hiding his strength abroad."

"A prominent tree will always face the brunt of the wind. The Lu Family's ascent is too sudden, surely masking many hidden depths. Between the Four Great Immortal Sects, Great Dream Immortal City, and Azure Phoenix Immortal City, no Foundation Establishment Family can be judged solely by what they show on the surface."

The trek of Lu Xingchen and Wang Yanjing toward the Five Elements Royal Family, accompanied by the Nine Netherhound, didn't draw much personal scrutiny toward them.

Instead, every eye was fixed upon the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family itself.

In an age where heroes rise across the lands, the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family—led by True Master Lu Changsheng—has undoubtedly been the most radiant star to emerge in Jiang Country over the last century.

Starting from his humble beginnings as a son-in-law, he built the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family in just a hundred years!

He didn't just achieve Core Formation himself; he took Fairy Xi Yue of the Qingyun Sect as his wife and even guided his first wife, Lu Miaoge, to the Core Formation realm.

His journey can only be described as the stuff of legends!

And now, the family has revealed a Third Rank Clan Guardian Spirit Beast.

Following these events, a vast number of cultivators have begun to view the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family as the premier cultivation clan in Jiang Country.

Even though the Beast Taming Xu Family holds a deep foundation with three Third Rank Spirit Beasts and their formidable Water Serpent and Fire Raven Dao Soldiers, the Lu Family’s momentum is simply too aggressive.

The general consensus is that the Lu Family will eventually overtake the Xu Family, or perhaps they are already capable of contending with them.

Meanwhile, within the halls of the Beast Taming Xu Family.

News of the Lu Family possessing a Third Rank Demon King reached the Xu Family leadership almost immediately.

In fact, several Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Xu Family had been present at Five Elements Mountain to witness the Nine Netherhound's terrifying power firsthand.

"A demon beast with a Heavenly-Rank Bloodline... records indicate Lu Changsheng found this Nine Netherhound while he was still a mere son-in-law at Qingzhu Mountain. How could it possibly reach the Third Rank in under a century?"

"Unless they used forbidden growth-acceleration techniques, such a speed is impossible. Yet, this Nine Netherhound shows no signs of being forced through secret arts!"

"That’s true. No matter how superior a Beast Taming inheritance is, it shouldn't be able to elevate a spirit beast to the Third Rank this quickly. Besides, that creature was only at the Second Rank fifty or sixty years ago."

While the Nine Netherhound’s existence wasn't a secret, its rate of growth left the Xu Family elders completely baffled.

Outside of the Spirit Taming Sect, their Xu Family was considered the authority on raising spirit beasts.

The more they analyzed the situation, the more incredible and confusing it became.

After much debate, the high-level members brought their findings to the Elder Ancestor.

"The Nine Netherhound..."

The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family examined the report, a golden light flickering in his eyes that radiated majesty and power.

As the Core Formation leader of a family specialized in beasts, he reached several conclusions instantly.

First, the Lu Family definitely holds a top-tier Beast Taming inheritance.

This explains their ability to produce Dao Soldiers and a prodigy like Lu Chensha.

Second, this Nine Netherhound likely possesses a mutated or atavistic bloodline.

It cannot be treated as a typical Heavenly-Rank Bloodline Demon Beast.

Third, there is something mysterious about Lu Changsheng himself.

The Elder Ancestor had encountered Lu Changsheng several times during the frontier wars.

His own Earth Dragon Beast and the family’s Third Rank Mysterious Turtle had both sensed a faint, underlying danger from Lu Changsheng that contradicted his displayed cultivation.

While the details remained blurry, the fact that the man established such a clan in less than a century was proof enough of his anomaly.

This was the primary reason the Xu Family had remained so passive and avoided friction with the Lu Family over the years.

The sudden appearance of the Third Rank Nine Netherhound convinced him further; Lu Changsheng must have provided the beast with high-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that perfectly matched its lineage.

That was the only logical explanation for its rapid ascension.

However, one mystery remained: why was such a savage demon beast so incredibly docile?

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge hadn't even come in person, sending only a Foundation Establishment son to lead it.

In the Xu Family, unless one was a Core Formation Elder Ancestor, others had to spend decades bonding with and feeding a spirit beast from its youth just to command it.

The Lu Family's beast was an anomaly; something was definitely wrong.

"Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, Lu Changsheng..."

The Xu Family Elder Ancestor stared at the jade slip, his eyes filled with a mix of calculation and wariness.

Though the Lu Family seemed peaceful, both families resided within the Qingyun Domain, making vigilance a necessity.

Reflecting on the Lu Family's history and his interactions with Lu Changsheng, he remembered some old incidents.

For instance, the time Xu Ge attempted to ambush Lu Changsheng, only to vanish and die mysteriously.

Suddenly, a realization struck him. His eyes flared with a sharp light, his pupils transforming into vertical slits resembling those of a dragon.

"The Nether Moon Saintess of Beast God Mountain owns a Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf with an atavistic bloodline!"

"It is said she has been scouring the world for Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to fuel its growth."

"The Lu Family’s Nine Netherhound bears a striking resemblance to a Nether Moon Wolf. It likely shares that same ancient bloodline. Now that it has reached the Third Rank in a century, perhaps that Nether Moon Saintess would find this very interesting!"
