Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1881: 486: Chaos Wanxiang, Shocking the Entire Hall!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Silence!
Quietude!
Suddenly, the vast hall plunged into utter silence, so still that a pin dropping could be heard!
Excluding Hong Lian and Absolute Sword True Monarch, every cultivator there gazed at Lu Changsheng with faces full of astonishment and doubt, finding the scene unbelievable, which sent chills crawling up their spines.
Was it over just like that?
Prior to this, none of them had pierced through the Star Hiding Hermit's disguise, and moments ago, he had unleashed the full might of Peak Core Formation cultivation and spells, yet the Dream City Master had effortlessly crushed him, leaving him powerless to fight back.
"Clatter——"
Right then, Hong Lian unleashed the Demon Binding Lock, securely binding the blood-spewing Star Hiding Hermit, who lay immobilized under the anomaly's suppression.
Moments later, the turmoil faded away, and clarity returned to the surroundings.
Everyone's eyes turned toward the Great Dream City Lord positioned high in the hall.
Though he remained poised and striking, an aura of overwhelming power and majesty now surrounded him, resembling a supreme ruler detached from the ordinary world, forcing all to bow before him.
"So this is the real form of the Great Dream City Lord?"
"Earlier, his manners and words were so mild and cultured; I figured he was just a benevolent elder, but who knew..."
"The Great Dream City Lord has surely advanced to Nascent Soul!"
The gathered cultivators kept gasping in surprise, completely floored by the revelation.
Despite prior rumors suggesting the Great Dream City Lord might be a Nascent Soul expert, seeing it with their own eyes proved too staggering to accept easily.
"Could this be... a body cultivation divine ability?"
As a Nascent Soul powerhouse himself, Absolute Sword True Monarch identified it as a technique tied to body cultivation.
"From what the reports say, this Great Dream City Lord follows the path of magical dual cultivation, so he's no mere Third Rank body refiner—perhaps a Fourth Rank body cultivator?"
Even Absolute Sword True Monarch found Lu Changsheng's prowess shocking.
In the world of Cultivation, while Fourth Rank dual cultivators exist in fair numbers, they remain uncommon.
Yet the idea of a Core Formation cultivator achieving Fourth Rank body refining? Absolute Sword True Monarch had never entertained such a notion.
After all, in dual cultivation paths, reaching Fourth Rank body refining prior to Nascent Soul breakthrough defies all logic.
"Still, judging by the initial intel, his power didn't match that of a Nascent Soul True Lord... maybe he's recovering from some injury while staying low-key in Great Dream Immortal City?"
Absolute Sword True Monarch pondered deeply, struggling to grasp Lu Changsheng's true state.
"That said, with this degree of might and the poise he showed earlier, he has to be a Nascent Soul cultivator without question."
"Even his spouse is a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
Absolute Sword True Monarch reflected inwardly.
No matter what, unleashing combat strength on par with Nascent Soul meant their Heavenly Sword Sect had to treat him with utmost caution!
"Impressive work, fellow Daoist."
He directed his words to Lu Changsheng atop the hall, offering commendation.
Though he himself could have ended it with a single sword strike.
Yet Lu Changsheng's approach was undeniably remarkable, effortlessly quelling a Peak Core Formation expert from the Shadow Sect without so much as moving, relying solely on anomalies.
"You flatter me, fellow Daoist."
Lu Changsheng gave a soft laugh, calm and composed, as though he'd merely handled a minor inconvenience.
Observing the stunned reactions from the hall's cultivators, he felt deeply satisfied with how his divine abilities had performed.
"The Shadow Sect excels at disguises and stealth techniques; how did you spot it, fellow Daoist?"
Absolute Sword True Monarch turned to Lu Changsheng with the question.
The Shadow Sect masters killings, fleeing, hiding, and impersonation.
Without the Star Hiding Hermit's full-powered outburst, even he might not have detected the ruse.
"Back when I first claimed this Immortal City, I purged some hidden pests, including a Shadow Sect cultivator, so that magical aura stuck with me."
Lu Changsheng answered offhandedly.
His casual remark, however, left the hall's cultivators in total awe and incredulity.
The Immortal City had undergone a purge before?
To identify the Shadow Sect's flawless disguise years later, just from a faint magical trace?
If Shadow Sect disguises were that simple to uncover, they couldn't possibly sneak into countless cultivation realms, collect secrets, or even eliminate and undermine enemy cultivators and organizations.
