Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1945: 508: Kunpeng Demon Technique, Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale Charges to Stage 4!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Having passed half a month alongside his spouse and offspring on Mengxi Island, Lu Changsheng made his way back to Great Dream Immortal City to gather items for the tribulation crossing of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
When it came to elixir medicines, in addition to the Beast Heart Pill obtained through trade with the Spirit Taming Sect, along with the Snake Marrow Bone-shedding Pill, Devil Muscle Blood Generation Pill, and Soul Cleansing Gu secured from the Five Poisons Cult, Lu Changsheng decided to craft a fresh batch of Beast Spirit Bone Melt Pills as well.
This pill not only boosts a demon beast's core potential but also enables swift healing from wounds amid a heavenly tribulation.
Luckily, the Myriad Demon Abyss had already amassed these ingredients, which spared the effort of hunting them down anew.
For additional preparations, he aimed to forge a special treasure for tribulation crossing known as the Thunder Transformation Umbrella.
This stands as a spiritual treasure detailed in the "Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinement Technique."
It holds the ability to draw in and neutralize the might of heavenly thunder.
In the midst of crossing a tribulation, the umbrella serves to bolster defenses against the heavenly tribulation while also weakening and dispersing certain aspects of it, thereby forging the body and mana stronger.
Lu Changsheng sought to create an initial model to assess its power, readying himself for the upcoming Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation that awaited him later on.
From his earlier experience with the Body Refining Heavenly Tribulation, Lu Changsheng grasped how harnessing the tribulation to refine the body and mana brought him tremendous advantages.
However, in typical situations, facing a tribulation proves incredibly perilous, especially when trying to use it for self-tempering.
In moments such as these, the true value of tribulation-crossing treasures and items that deflect calamity shines through.
Wasting no more time, Lu Changsheng directed Ling Zixiao and commanded Hong Lian to produce the Beast Spirit Bone Melt Pills, as he personally set about crafting the Thunder Transformation Umbrella.
As a Fourth Rank Beast Tamer and a Third Rank Alchemist at the peak level, Hong Lian certainly possessed the skill to forge a Third Rank Beast Spirit Bone Melt Pill with ease.
Even without abundant spiritual medicines, she retained a handful of uncommon unique formulas that could improve a demon beast's odds of breaking through to the Fourth Rank.
...
Starry Sky Sea.
In the vast Endless Sea Domain, a majestic stone cliff rose high, cradling an age-old bird's nest.
Even if the nest looked plain at first glance, enveloped in ceaseless swirling rosy clouds and fog, it radiated a deep aura of timeless antiquity.
As the restrictions faded and the Dao principles of the Kunpeng Nest fully unlocked, countless mighty figures stepped into the ancient nest via the stone cliffs, delving into the hidden realm.
"Nascent Soul True Lords and Fourth Rank Demon Kings have gone inside; it's our turn to move."
With every Nascent Soul powerhouse and Fourth Rank Demon King having ventured into the ancient nest, some Core Formation cultivators—and even a few at Foundation Establishment—crept forward in secret, eager to slip into the secret realm and claim whatever fortunes they could find.
Indeed, the allure of the Kunpeng Nest was simply irresistible!
It ranked as a supreme secret realm, whispered about across countless eras in the Starry Sky Sea, brimming with invaluable treasures and matchless paths to glory.
Besides, in the world of cultivation, stories overflow of lowly cultivators snatching grand destinies right from the grasp of mighty experts, then rocketing to dazzling new peaks!
Lu Quanzhen perched cross-legged upon a modest islet roughly a hundred miles from the Kunpeng Nest, masking his aura via a basic formation, biding his time until the chaos fully subsided before edging nearer.
In truth, entering the Kunpeng Nest held no part in his plans.
He only desired to sense the Kunpeng Nest up close and draw upon the ancient nest's Kunpeng qi mechanism to advance his cultivation technique's divine ability.
At that instant, a cloud drifted abruptly in his direction, hovering right over his formation.
"Hmm?"
Lu Quanzhen's thoughts froze in an instant, his face sharpening with vigilance.
Right after, a faint snort rang out from the cloud's depths.
In a flash, a streak of pitch-black light plunged downward, slamming into his formation's light barrier.
"Crack! Crack! Crack..."
The quasi-third rank formation's light barrier splintered like fragile glass right away, then crumbled to nothing.
"Boom!"
Lu Quanzhen saw the pitch-black light barreling straight at him still, so he unleashed the full power of the "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique," summoning a Kunpeng image around himself that ballooned to several zhang in moments, gulping down the incoming dark beam on the spot.
Even so, Lu Quanzhen got shoved back more than ten zhang, his qi-blood and mana thrown into turmoil.
"Nascent Soul True Lord!"
Lu Quanzhen stared at the cloud in front, his features twisting into a grim scowl.
Though he had never clashed directly with a Nascent Soul True Lord before.
The fresh clashes during the Nascent Soul fight at Xu Xuan Island, combined with the qi mechanisms swirling around the Kunpeng Nest, told him plainly that a Nascent Soul cultivator faced him now!
Why would such a Nascent Soul cultivator strike at him?
Refusing to linger on doubts or delay, Lu Quanzhen offered a courteous bow: "I was oblivious to the senior's noble arrival; what counsel does this junior seek from you?"
Despite the unprovoked assault from the foe.
Within the cultivation realm, where only the strong endure, a Nascent Soul cultivator requires no justification to target him.
Voicing fury or demanding answers right now would serve no purpose at all.
Furthermore, a Nascent Soul cultivator could slay him without breaking a sweat.
That latest strike had been nothing more than a lazy jab, a mere flex of power, far from any real intent to end his life.
Thus, this figure probably nursed some specific purpose.
"Quite so; even at just the early Core Formation stage, you kept your composure amid my attack—such resolve and bravery alone deserve acclaim."
An commanding, elderly voice boomed from the cloud, its tone ambiguous between approval and mockery.
"Thank you for your praise, senior."
Lu Quanzhen replied steadily, without pride or servility: "As a Nascent Soul True Lord, if you wished to end this junior's life, my panic would change nothing."
"A clever fellow truly; I prefer dealing with the sharp-minded."
The heavens brightened as the cloud slowly scattered away.
A gaunt elder with prominent cheekbones and a hooked nose descended in front of Lu Quanzhen, his profound, shadowy gaze locking onto him fiercely: "Interested in exploring the Kunpeng Nest? I can escort you there and back without harm."
"Enter the Kunpeng Nest?"
Lu Quanzhen's heart skipped at those words.
Naturally, he yearned to step into the Kunpeng Nest.
Yet, a realm of such lofty stature lay far beyond what a Core Formation cultivator like him could grasp.
Besides, the stranger's background remained a mystery, and this abrupt offer to guide him within—how could he rashly dive into the Kunpeng Nest under such dubious circumstances?
