Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1801: 459: Return to Yue Country, Endless Wilderness!

A thousand miles away from the Jinyang Sect, the shimmering yin-yang light faded after twenty days, revealing the forms of Lu Changsheng, Lu Qingshan, and Lu Qingzhu.

"Very well, you should continue the rest of the way on your own; your father will stop here," Lu Changsheng remarked gently, his gaze lingering on his son and daughter standing before him.

Although the distance between the Jinyang Sect and Bi Lake Mountain was not particularly vast for a Core Formation cultivator, the constant travel remained a burden. Furthermore, as a key seed of the Jinyang Sect, Lu Qingshan would likely find it impossible to return home once the fires of war were ignited.

"You have both reached adulthood and are capable of making your own choices. I have little left to lecture you on, except for this: please deliberate carefully before you act. Do not gamble your life for the sake of minor opportunities," Lu Changsheng advised his son.

"Father, please do not worry," Lu Qingshan replied, his spirit appearing high and resolute.

Watching him, Lu Changsheng realized that the young man would likely still follow his own path. After all these years, a few simple words were unlikely to change a stubborn heart. Reaching out, he patted his daughter’s head and added, "Little Bamboo, if you find yourself in need of anything, reach out to your father immediately."

"I understand, Father," Lu Qingzhu answered softly. Her beautiful, calm face showed that she had truly internalized Lu Changsheng’s concerns.

"See to it that you protect Little Bamboo well," Lu Changsheng instructed Lu Qingshan once more.

His decision to permit Lu Qingzhu to remain with the Jinyang Sect was born of her own persistence, but also the hope that her presence would act as a tether for Lu Qingshan, keeping his reckless nature in check.

"Father, you can rest easy. Anyone wishing to harm Little Bamboo must first face my sword!" In an instant, Lu Qingshan’s aura transformed, becoming as sharp and uncompromising as a blade.

The siblings had been inseparable since childhood; their bond had only strengthened as they relied on one another in the distant environment of the Jinyang Sect. Lu Qingshan cherished his sister more than his own life and had long since embraced the duty of her protector.

"Go on then," Lu Changsheng said with a soft pat on his shoulder.

After Lu Qingzhu stepped forward for a brief embrace with her father, she and her brother departed toward the Jinyang Sect.

"Hoo!"

Lu Changsheng watched until their silhouettes vanished beyond the horizon. Exhaling deeply, he summoned the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror into his palm. He commanded the mirror spirit to track Lu Ping’an’s Sun and Moon Token and to notify him the moment their bloodline connection manifested.

Following this, he mounted the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and soared toward the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. Upon discovering a Third Rank Spirit Vein, he evicted the occupying Demon King and harnessed the vein's power to fuel the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, attempting to locate Lu Ping’an.

After a search lasting more than half a month, Lu Changsheng deduced that Lu Ping’an was no longer within the borders of Yue Country. Consequently, he directed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng toward Wu Country. Throughout the journey, he employed divination to seek auspicious paths and utilized heavenly mechanism sensing to plot his course.

However, Lu Ping’an’s fate remained obscured by a thick, white fog. With the divination providing no clear answers, Lu Changsheng was forced to rely on his own instincts to navigate. A cultivator’s sixth sense can be just as potent as the reading of heavenly mechanisms, particularly for high-rank cultivators who often receive sudden, intuitive warnings of impending peril.

"To reach Wu Country by traversing the Endless Wilderness... is that the way?"

Two paths led from Yue Country to Wu Country: a direct border crossing or a detour through the Endless Wilderness. Guided by the intuition of his Nascent Soul level soul, Lu Changsheng felt the detour was the superior choice.

"Wait, the Endless Wilderness..."

"According to my earlier deductions, Ping’an possesses treasures that shield him from divination, and his current location is shrouded in deep mystery. Now, with the Vast Sand Illusion Realm opening in the Endless Wilderness, it has drawn numerous Core Formation and even Nascent Soul cultivators, which will undoubtedly cause a disturbance in the local heavenly mechanisms."

The threads of heavenly mechanisms are never static. In Great Dream Immortal City, the destiny array established by Azure Phoenix True Monarch exists, much like the Qi gathered by the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine at Bi Lake Mountain, both of which warp the local fate. This makes residents of the Immortal City nearly impossible for others to calculate.

The news of the secret realm in the Endless Wilderness had spread far and wide. The combination of the realm's emergence and the presence of Nascent Soul masters served to muddle the providence of the region, making any attempt at divination incredibly difficult.

"Is it possible that Ping’an was targeted for possession by some Nascent Soul Old Monster who traveled to the Endless Wilderness? Or perhaps he is trapped within the Vast Sand Illusion Realm?"

Lu Changsheng hesitated before shaking his head. Since there were no reports of the Vast Sand Illusion Realm closing, the timeline did not align with Lu Ping’an’s possession or his breakthrough to the Core Formation stage.

Had the timing been different, he might have suspected that a Nascent Soul Old Monster’s physical shell had been destroyed within the realm, and the fleeing Nascent Soul had claimed Lu Ping’an’s body. Since a Nascent Soul Spirit Body is exceptionally fragile, a failed possession would cause it to dissolve, potentially allowing his son to inherit the treasures the elder had brought from the realm, thus facilitating a breakthrough to Core Formation while forging an Acquired Spirit Body.

Outside of such a bizarre stroke of luck, Lu Changsheng could not fathom how his son’s Cultivation could have surged so rapidly following a possession attempt.

"Hoo!"

Pushing aside these wild theories, Lu Changsheng followed his gut feeling, steering the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng deep into the heart of the Endless Wilderness.
