Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1771: 450: Origin-Nourishing Five Viscera Technique, Beast Tide Rises Again!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Upon hearing this news, Lu Changsheng’s brow furrowed as a sense of unease washed over him.
A mere three years had passed since the last fluctuation of the beast tide in the Great Dream Marsh. Why was it recurring so quickly?
Furthermore, with the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale standing guard, how could the Great Dream Marsh fall into such chaos?
"The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale provided the intelligence. According to Sister Ling, Senior Red Lotus ventured into the deep sea to investigate. She confirmed that there is indeed a beast tide fluctuation, likely orchestrated by a Fourth Rank Demon King seeking to incite a massive uprising."
Lu Miaoge’s face, as fair as jade, was solemn. Her beautiful eyes were clouded with anxiety as she delivered the report.
If a Fourth Rank Demon King was leading the charge, this would undoubtedly be a major beast tide—a catastrophe of immense proportions!
"A Fourth Rank Demon King!?"
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning heavy.
Given that Ling Zixiao mentioned Red Lotus had personally investigated, the report was almost certainly accurate.
It was highly probable that a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King had arrived from the Starry Sky Sea.
"Damn it, what a troublesome coincidence."
Lu Changsheng had not anticipated that a beast tide would erupt so soon after his departure from the Great Dream Immortal City.
He had previously joined forces with Meng Wuheng and his wife to slay a Fourth Rank Demon King and had even bested the Five Poisons Cult Leader, a Nascent Soul Cultivator. However, facing a Fourth Rank Demon King head-on remained a daunting prospect.
This was especially true in the vast, limitless waters of the Great Dream Marsh, where the enemy could manipulate the tide to their advantage.
"I need to go and see for myself."
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he decided to put Lu Ping’an’s matters aside for the moment and return to the Great Dream Marsh to evaluate the threat.
"Wait, a Fourth Rank Demon King..."
Just as Lu Changsheng prepared to depart for the Great Dream Immortal City, he halted, lost in thought.
Directly defeating a Fourth Rank Demon King would be difficult; at most, he might only be able to drive it away.
However, the situation would change entirely if the enemy brought the beast tide to the gates of the Great Dream Immortal City.
The city was protected by a Third Rank Forbidden Great Formation. As a Top-Level Formation Master, his command over the array might allow him to unleash power comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
If he could inflict a severe wound on the beast, then by coordinating with the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, Red Lotus, and Nangong Mili, they might actually have a chance to hunt the Fourth Rank Demon King down.
"If we can successfully slay a Fourth Rank Demon King...."
Lu Changsheng’s eyes glinted as he contemplated the possibilities.
Every inch of a Fourth Rank Demon King’s body was a priceless treasure. Beyond the rare crafting materials, his own physique was only a step away from reaching the Fourth Rank.
Should they succeed in the hunt, he could potentially use the demon's blood essence to advance his "Brahman Demon True Saint Technique," thereby breaking through in Fourth Rank Body Refinement.
"But if the Fourth Rank Demon King nears the Great Dream Immortal City, the loss of life could be catastrophic."
"Furthermore, if I utilize the Great Luo Sword Embryo and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng in the open, the world will discover that Yangming True Master is the Lord of the Dream City."
"It would be incredibly problematic if the Yiming Ghost Sect finds out I have a fixed base."
Lu Changsheng stroked his chin, realizing the immense difficulty of hunting such a creature.
Besides, he was still uncertain of the Demon King's true strength.
An Early Stage Fourth Rank with average power was manageable. However, if it were a Middle Stage Fourth Rank Demon King, there would be no point in a confrontation; his only option would be to abandon the city and flee.
As hesitation gripped him, Lu Changsheng’s gaze fell upon the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror suspended within the Cave Heaven, and a realization struck him.
"Why should I rely on the Great Luo Sword Embryo? I can harness the Spirit Vein of the Great Dream Immortal City and synchronize it with the Third Rank Forbidden Formation. Then, using the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone as a foundation, I’ll set a trap. A single strike from the Yin Yang Taiji Mysterious Light ought to be enough!"
Ordinarily, his current Cultivation and reserves of Qi were insufficient to power such a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
But by acting as a Top-Level Third Rank Array Master and drawing from the city's Spirit Vein through the formation, he might be able to force an activation.
To eliminate a Fourth Rank Demon King, any price would be worth paying!
The Cultivation World was currently turbulent, with a storm on the horizon. He could not afford to remain passive; he had to seize the initiative and fight for every advantage.
The thought of using a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure to slay a Fourth Rank Demon King filled Lu Changsheng with a sudden surge of bravado. Reaching out for the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, he smirked. "A Wu, the time has come for your debut."
"Since the news of the Great Dream Immortal City’s new ownership is already public, there is no longer any reason to hide!"
In an instant, the mirror—radiating solar brilliance on one side and cool lunar light on the other—flew into Lu Changsheng’s palm.
"Sister Miaoge, let us travel to the Great Dream Immortal City together."
Lu Changsheng looked at his wife and smiled, the mirror still held firmly in his hand.
Both he and Lu Miaoge practiced the "Taiyi Shengshui Jue."
When it came time to trigger the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, Lu Miaoge could bolster his strength by sharing her mana.
"Changsheng, do you intend to..."
Lu Miaoge was well aware that this mirror was no ordinary tool, but a top-tier Spirit Treasure.
Seeing Lu Changsheng prepare to take it to the Great Dream Immortal City, she wondered if he meant to use it to drive the invaders back.
"Precisely. If that Fourth Rank Demon King dares to show its face, I will use this mirror to erase it from existence, cementing the reputation of our Great Dream Immortal City!"
Lu Changsheng grasped his wife’s slender hand, his voice ringing with conviction.
"You mean to actually kill a Fourth Rank Transformed Demon King!?"
Lu Miaoge was stunned by the scale of his ambition.
She had assumed he only meant to use the treasure for defense, not for a total annihilation of such a powerful foe!
This was a staggering plan...
Yet, looking at the absolute certainty in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, her own gaze softened with admiration. She smiled gently and replied, "Very well~"
The couple then exited the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven. After a brief word with Lu Miaoyun, Lu Changsheng unfurled the Michen Banner and immediately set off with Lu Miaoge toward the City Lord Mansion.
...
"Zi Xiao, what is the current status of the beast tide?"
Upon arriving, Lu Changsheng wasted no time in questioning Ling Zixiao.
Ling Zixiao, however, did not have all the details yet. She had only received the initial alert from the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale and, unable to find Lu Changsheng at the time, had passed the word to Red Lotus.
Without further delay, Lu Changsheng went to find Red Lotus to get the full story.
