Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1791: 456: Enemy from Liang Country, True Spirit Tribulation!

"A bloodline mutation that allowed it to reach the Third Rank in under a century?"

The wild and spirited Holy Maiden, possessing exceptionally long legs, ran her slender scarlet tongue over her lips as a spark of curiosity flared in her stunning eyes.

The name of this Heavenly Talisman Lu Family was unfamiliar to her, suggesting it was likely a minor power.

For such a small Sect or clan to raise a Nether Moon Wolf to the Third Rank within a hundred years was a feat that should have been nearly impossible.

Therefore, it was highly probable that this demon beast had encountered some sort of fortuitous destiny.

"What exactly is the background of this Heavenly Talisman Lu Family? Can we trust the validity of this report?"

Standing tall with an imposing air, the Nether Moon Saintess stared down at the subordinate kneeling before her, her deep, sharp eyes flashing with a freezing light as she questioned him.

"Reporting to Holy Daughter, the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family is a Nascent Soul Family that has recently risen to prominence within Jiang Country. Their forefather is Lu Changsheng, commonly addressed as Changsheng True Master..."

"Based on my investigations, the report appears to be accurate. However, regarding the specific details of the bloodline ancestor mutation, we must still send a representative to Jiang Country to verify the claims..."

The subordinate was well aware of how much the Holy Maiden prioritized the Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf. To ensure no one else stole the credit, they had rushed to deliver the news the moment it was somewhat confirmed.

"Changsheng True Master."

Upon hearing the name, the Nether Moon Saintess could not suppress a mocking sneer.

While the title carried a grand meaning and lofty goals, it was far too common. So many who adopted it had perished prematurely on the path of Cultivation that, over time, the name had come to be viewed as a jinx.

Still, it was typical for a Nascent Soul cultivator from a fledgling family to choose such a grandiose title.

The more isolated and unrefined a region was, the more its people gravitated toward flashy, resounding names.

"Nevertheless, for a crumbling little family to successfully raise a Nether Moon Wolf to the Third Rank in less than a century suggests something unusual is at play."

"Unless they employed a forbidden secret technique that consumes the beast's life force, this wolf’s growth involves more than just a simple bloodline mutation!"

As a Nascent Soul seed of the Beast God Mountain and a premier genius who personally raised a Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf, the Saintess possessed an incredibly deep understanding of the art of beast taming.

She knew that a standard bloodline ancestor mutation would never provide enough momentum for a Nether Moon Wolf to reach the Third Rank so quickly.

It was either nurtured through advanced taming techniques, or its bloodline had undergone a profound reversion, perhaps even through the aid of a supreme bloodline treasure!

She completely dismissed the idea of them wasting a Third Rank Beast Origin Elixir or a Third Rank Demon Core on a Second Rank beast. Such an inefficient Cultivation method was beneath her consideration.

Even with her status as a Nascent Soul seed of the Beast God Mountain, she wouldn't be that wasteful, let alone a newly established Nascent Soul Family.

"Very well. I shall dispatch an investigator to look into this. If the claims are proven true, you will be handsomely compensated!"

The Nether Moon Saintess spoke with a voice that carried a magnetic, commanding authority.

While she was deeply invested in anything concerning the Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf, she would not personally trek across borders to Jiang Country based on unverified rumors.

Furthermore, with the opening of the Vast Sand Illusion Realm approaching, she was restricted by her patrol responsibilities.

Even if she had the time, crossing from Yue Country into Jiang Country was a risk she couldn't take lightly.

After finishing her sentence, she retrieved a bottle of medicinal pills from her storage ring as a reward for the subordinate. She gestured for him to withdraw and then snapped a jade token in her hand.

A short while later, a figure emerged, wearing a charcoal mask and clad in dark, form-fitting soft armor.

"Your Highness!"

Beyond her status at Beast God Mountain, the Nether Moon Saintess was a direct blood descendant of one of the Sect's Nascent Soul True Lords.

Because of her extraordinary talent, her family had provided her with several highly trained, loyal shadows.

These subordinates would serve as her foundation of power, ensuring she had the necessary influence and muscle whether she was breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage or vying for the position of Sect Leader in the future.

"Ying’er, word has reached me that the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family in Jiang Country has a Third Rank Nether Moon Wolf with an ancestral blood mutation..."

"Go there and determine the extent of its Heavenly Wolf bloodline awakening. Investigate how Lu Changsheng managed to push the creature to the Third Rank so rapidly. If the reports are valid, capture the Nether Moon Wolf and bring it back!"

The Saintess gave her orders, handing over a Third Rank Spirit Ring as she spoke.

Although this loyal aide was only at the early stage of Core Formation, she was a master of assassination who could successfully target and kill those at the Nascent Soul level.

Since the Lu Family was merely a new Nascent Soul family and their wolf had only just reached the Third Rank, Ying'er was more than capable of handling the task.

Furthermore, the Spirit Ring provided was a precious tool specifically designed to subdue and enslave a Third Rank Demon King!

Even if the wolf possessed a mutated bloodline, the ring would be enough to suppress and bind it.

"As you command, Your Highness!"

Ying’er took the Spirit Ring, her gaze resolute as she gave a deep bow. Her silhouette, encased in the dark armor, was lithe and perfectly proportioned. Her narrow waist bent slightly, moving with the grace of a willow branch—appearing fragile yet possessing hidden, tempered strength.

In the next instant, she seemed to merge into the shadows, disappearing completely.

"You’er, we’re leaving."

With her arrangements made, the Saintess called out to the heavenly wolf resting on a distant stone dais.

"Roar!"

The Nether Moon Heavenly Wolf gave a low, rumbling growl and blurred into a streak of violet lightning.

With a light spring in her step, the Nether Moon Saintess landed gracefully upon the powerful back of the beast.

Her pale, toned legs, radiating strength and elegance, stood out sharply against the wolf's dark purple fur, creating a striking image of pure white against shadow.

...

As the days turned into weeks, news regarding the Great Dream Immortal City began to permeate the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.

While the news was certainly startling, it had little real effect on the lives of average cultivators.

To those struggling to earn a handful of spirit stones each month, the tectonic shifts of the high-level Cultivation world felt like distant thunder.

Nevertheless, many rogue cultivators began to eye the Great Dream Marsh, weighing the possibilities of relocating there to build their own family legacies.
