Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1792: 456: Invaders from Liang Country, True Spirit Tribulation!

To begin with, the Great Dream Marsh offers a level of stability that far surpasses both Jiuxiao Immortal City and Azure Phoenix Immortal City.

Following the recent Fourth Rank Beast Tide, it is highly probable that the region will remain free from major disasters for the coming century.

Secondly, the Spirit Veins of numerous islands were likely damaged by demon beasts or left vacant after their cultivators fell during the onslaught.

Consequently, even for those not seeking to become an Island Master, securing a cave mansion or a Spirit Vein Dojo for Cultivation has become significantly easier.

Thirdly, the presence of Nascent Soul-level combat strength within Great Dream Immortal City ensures a high degree of protection, removing any lingering safety anxieties.

Furthermore, in the wake of such a massive Beast Tide, the market price for demon beast materials in the Great Dream Marsh is expected to plummet, offering a prime opportunity to gather rare resources.

"The City Lord of Great Dream, actually hunting down Fourth Rank Demon Kings..."

This revelation sent shockwaves through the ranks of high-level cultivators who heard the news.

Among those stunned was True Master Wanhu, a man who had once dared to challenge the Great Dream City Lord in his younger years.

Having faced him personally, he had always recognized that the Great Dream City Lord possessed extraordinary combat prowess.

Yet, he never imagined the gap would be this staggering.

He was now torn between traveling to Great Dream Immortal City to present congratulatory gifts or simply fleeing Jiang Country entirely to avoid any potential friction.

However, the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm was currently plagued by hidden turmoil, making it far less secure than Jiang Country.

After weighing his options and remembering that he had already surrendered his entire wealth as past restitution, he abandoned the plan to offer congratulations. Instead, he vowed to simply stay far away from any place where the Great Dream City Lord might appear.

Within Great Dream Immortal City.

Ling Zixiao, who had intended to enter closed-door cultivation, found herself occupied with the arduous task of governing the city.

Reports from Lu Qingsong indicated that the Beast Tide had left a heavy scar on the Great Dream Marsh, with over ten islands suffering severe damage.

It wasn't merely the demon beasts; rogue robber cultivators had also taken advantage of the chaos to spread disorder.

In response, Ling Zixiao swiftly commanded the Enforcement Team to hunt these bandits relentlessly and issued a formal decree forbidding all island factions from engaging in internal strife for the next decade.

Generally, after such heavy losses, the best course of action for any ruler is to encourage a period of rest and recovery.

On this particular day, Lu Lingxiao and Lu Wangshu returned to the city atop the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale. Under the reverent gazes of the populace, they soared toward the City Lord Mansion.

Seeing Lu Wangshu adorned in a magnificent gilded robe and a matching gilded mask, many onlookers began to whisper about her true identity.

They wondered if she was another daughter of the City Lord.

"Mother."

"Aunt."

Upon entering the City Lord Mansion, the two greeted Ling Zixiao immediately.

"Xiao’er, Wangshu, you’ve returned? Did you find much?"

Knowing they had spent months scavenging the marsh with the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale, Ling Zixiao greeted them with an elegant and dignified smile.

"The harvest was enormous. Our storage rings were filled to capacity, so we had to store the bulk of it inside Big Black’s stomach. We even had to leave behind several crystal mines because we simply couldn't carry any more," Lu Lingxiao explained.

Despite possessing multiple storage bags and high-quality storage rings, the sheer volume of their loot was overwhelming.

The weight and size of the demon beast remains, bones, ores, and sea stones made them difficult to transport in standard storage tools.

"You should coordinate with Qingsong later to organize transport using large-scale storage crates," Ling Zixiao suggested.

She was well aware of Lu Wangshu’s eye for profit, so she knew the items brought back must be of significant value.

"Understood," Lu Lingxiao nodded before asking, "Mother, is Father currently available?"

"Your father is currently in closed-door cultivation. Is there something urgent?"

Ling Zixiao could tell from her son's expression that he had something important to discuss with Lu Changsheng.

"Big Black mentioned that its bloodline is reaching a tipping point and is about to ascend. However, it must face a True Spirit Tribulation. It intends to travel to the Sea Eye to undergo the trial and wanted to know if Father could accompany it," Lu Lingxiao reported.

"A True Spirit Tribulation!?"

Ling Zixiao’s eyes widened with astonishment.

She was aware of the hierarchy of demon beast bloodlines—from low, middle, and high ranks to Earth and Heaven Ranks, culminating in the legendary True Spirit Bloodline.

However, the process of a bloodline evolving into a True Spirit was a mystery to her.

She had never even heard of a True Spirit Tribulation before.

"Indeed. We are in the dark as well, but Big Black insists its bloodline has hit its limit and cannot evolve without surviving this tribulation," Lu Lingxiao added.

It was only recently that he and Lu Wangshu had learned about the necessity of a tribulation for such a profound bloodline evolution.

"I will notify your father at once."

Lu Changsheng had left instructions that he should be disturbed during his seclusion if a matter of great importance arose.

To Ling Zixiao, the potential for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale to undergo a bloodline ascension was a matter of the highest priority.

Deep within a rear hall of the City Lord Mansion, Lu Changsheng sat in meditation inside the massive remains of a Void Kun. His form was enveloped in a shimmering blend of Buddha Light and dark Demon Runes.

The life and Origin Essence of the Void Kun flowed around him like a violent river, manifesting as spectral Kun fish that crashed against his frame. This energy was then refined into a crimson mist that seeped into his skin, tempering his physical body and strengthening his internal organs.

The sound of Lu Changsheng’s blood rushing was like thunder. His presence was a strange mix of divine majesty and terrifying cruelty—two opposing forces existing in a delicate, profound balance, much like the harmony of Yin and Yang.

The "Brahma Demon True Sacred Art" was a demanding path. It required the practitioner to cultivate both Buddha and Demon paths simultaneously while maintaining a perfect mental equilibrium between the two.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng’s "Yin Yang Creation Classic" allowed him to bridge all techniques. By using the Way of Yin and Yang to govern the essences of Buddha and Demon, he avoided the mental instability that would otherwise plague such a path.

"Hmm?"

Lu Changsheng’s eyes snapped open. His pupils spun with the likeness of a swastika while demonic flames flickered within his gaze.

"The Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale is ready to evolve? And it requires a True Spirit Tribulation?"

Reading Ling Zixiao’s message, Lu Changsheng’s brows rose in surprise.

Even though Ling Zixiao and Lu Lingxiao were unfamiliar with the concept, he understood the gravity of it.

He hadn't expected the creature to be ready to transform into a Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale so soon.

The timing was sudden, but the speed of its growth had exceeded his expectations.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Changsheng rose and exited the hollowed-out corpse of the Void Kun.
