Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1787: 455: Inventory of Gains, Shock of the Four Great Immortal Sects

While the Three Treasures Incarnation and Lu Miaoge were busy inspecting the Immortal City, they were soon joined by Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu, Lu Qingqi, and Lu Qingsong.

"Our respects to Changsheng True Master and Miao Ge True Man!"

Upon spotting the pair, the surrounding cultivators offered their respectful greetings.

In the recent conflict, the combat prowess displayed by Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge had appeared somewhat unremarkable.

However, since the Great Dream City Lord had successfully slain a Fourth Rank Demon King, Lu Changsheng’s prestige as the Vice City Lord had naturally reached new heights.

"Very well."

Lu Changsheng gave a brief nod to the crowd before turning his attention to Lu Qingshan, inquiring, "Now that you have faced the beast tide, what are your thoughts?"

"The power of a Fourth Rank Demon King is truly beyond comprehension," Lu Qingshan replied solemnly.

When he previously encountered the Angry Sea Lance Shark and the Eight-Clawed Devil Fish—two Third Rank Late Stage Demon Kings—he had merely found them formidable.

But the moment the Void Kun manifested, the sheer terror of a Fourth Rank Demon King became clear to him.

The mere pressure of its Qi mechanism had left him completely immobilized!

"Haha, the gap between cultivation realms is like a massive canyon. This Void Kun had only just ascended to the Fourth Rank, and its innate divine abilities were not yet fully realized. Had it been otherwise, the situation would have been far more dire," Lu Changsheng remarked with a soft chuckle.

"It only recently reached the Fourth Rank?"

Lu Qingshan’s eyes narrowed as he attempted to gauge the battle strength of a Nascent Soul True Lord by using the Void Kun as a reference.

In the lower stages, demon beasts usually hold an advantage over cultivators of the same rank due to their resilient physical forms and tenacious life force.

However, once the Nascent Soul level is achieved, cultivators wield divine skills that far outmatch those of a Demon King, erasing the disadvantage and often granting them the upper hand.

Naturally, at such a high level, some Demon Kings also utilize bloodline inheritances to develop divine skills and refine magical treasures, making the outcome of a battle dependent on their individual foundations.

"Father, Ling Xiao mentioned something earlier... does this Immortal City actually belong to our family?"

At that moment, Lu Qingshan finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind.

"Have you not already deduced the truth?" Lu Changsheng replied, a thin smile playing on his lips.

"I suspected..."

Lu Qingshan had indeed considered the possibility that the Great Dream City Lord was another version of his father.

But how could there be two of them simultaneously?

An External Incarnation?

The idea seemed almost too incredible to believe.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingqi, watching the two speak in riddles, excitedly grabbed her aunt Lu Miaoge’s arm and asked: "Aunt, what was that incredible spell you performed earlier?"

During the clash, she had witnessed Lu Changsheng utilize the Solar Silent Oblivion Divine Light, a technique she knew her brother Lu Qingxuan had also practiced.

Yet, compared to that light, she was far more captivated by her aunt’s Taiyin Disaster Crossing Robe.

She imagined that if she could master such a divine skill, she could join her brother in vanquishing evil and protecting the innocent!

"That technique is known as the Taiyin Disaster Crossing Robe," Lu Miaoge explained gently.

"Aunt, could I learn it? I’ve seen my brother use Father’s techniques, so I want to learn yours!" Lu Qingqi said with great enthusiasm.

"Well..."

While innate divine abilities can eventually be deconstructed into teachable divine ability techniques once one's cultivation is sufficiently deep, Lu Miaoge’s mastery was unique.

Her ability to use it was entirely dependent on Lu Changsheng using the Taiyi Divine Soul and Tai Yi Life Water Technique to manifest it for her.

"This is a high-level divine skill that can only be practiced after reaching Core Formation. Once you achieve that breakthrough, I will teach it to you myself," Lu Changsheng told his daughter.

"Core Formation..."

Hearing this, Lu Qingqi’s excitement vanished instantly, and she looked as wilted as a frost-bitten vegetable.

Despite her current age and progress, the idea of reaching Core Formation felt like an impossible mountain to climb.

From everything she had learned, achieving Core Formation required not just talent, but immense luck, unwavering persistence, and iron will.

Aside from her family background and some decent talent, she felt she was quite ordinary in every other regard.

Noticing her disappointment, Lu Changsheng said with a hint of exasperation: "If you simply focus on your daily Cultivation, reaching Core Formation in the future won't be such a struggle."

Although his daughter only possessed a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, she had been influenced by Lu Miaohuan; consequently, her physical form, Meridians, and Dantian were naturally more robust than most. With enough effort, Core Formation was a realistic goal.

"Is that true? It just seems so daunting," Lu Qingqi muttered.

Even though she knew her father was incredibly powerful, the status of a Core Formation Immortal remained a lofty and distant dream in her mind.

"It is merely Core Formation; there is nothing to fear. If you apply yourself and reach the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, I will personally ensure you have the Coagulation Crystal Elixir and the necessary Core Formation Spiritual Objects," Lu Qingshan interjected, looking at his sister with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, thank you, Big Brother! I promise to cultivate with all my heart!"

Upon hearing his promise, Lu Qingqi beamed at her brother like a devoted fan, her mind already racing with the thrill of one day becoming a Core Formation Immortal.

Lu Qingshan’s mouth curled into a smile as he turned to the elder Lu Qingsong. "Qingsong, the same applies to you. You must dedicate more of your daily life to Cultivation."

While a Coagulation Crystal Elixir was a rare treasure, Lu Qingshan was confident.

With his current strength, as long as he performed well in the upcoming Liangyue War, securing a few of them would be well within his reach.

Lu Qingsong could only manage a bitter smile.

While his sister might have a chance, his Seventh Grade Spiritual Root made the prospect of Core Formation virtually impossible.

Nevertheless, he quietly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Brother, for your kindness."

Seeing Lu Qingsong’s state of mind, Lu Changsheng patted him on the shoulder, directing him to go and survey the condition of the nearby islands following the beast tide’s assault.

Even though the Great Dream Immortal City had borne the brunt of the attack, the surrounding areas would have undoubtedly suffered damage that needed assessing.

"I’ll come with you, Qingsong."

Lu Qingshan decided to accompany him to ensure his safety and perhaps hunt a few stray demon beasts along the way.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng sent a private transmission to his son, Lu Lingxiao.

"Xiao’er, take Big Black and recover the demon beast remains and crystal cores from the battlefield. Afterward, head into the Great Dream Marsh together to seize all the heavenly and earthly treasures hidden within the dens of those fallen beasts."
