Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1958: 512: Demon Fetus Parasitism, Yan Lan Breaks Through! (Double - )

Shi Hai True Monarch, Lu Quanzhen, and Xuan Gu Old Demon moved ahead together, reaching the front of a grand ancient den that resembled a Kunpeng.

A stunning glow burst from this ancient den, sometimes fully golden like a sacred roc stretching across the stars and gazing down on the nine skies; other times pitch-black like a huge Kun plunging into the endless ocean, wrapped in turmoil.

"Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique!?"

Ripples spread from the golden ancient den that Lu Quanzhen spotted ahead, formed by runes shaped like a Kunpeng.

Though these runes seemed strange to him, a peculiar feeling of recognition stirred within.

The technique he cultivated felt like an interpretation of these runes, creating a deep, mysterious connection between them.

"Legends say that treasure bones from elite Demon Race bloodlines and genuine feathers bear talismanic writings showing the most ancient cultivation methods. Human Race cultivators often derive their own techniques and divine powers by studying these markings through patterns of flora, fauna, beasts, dragon scripts, and phoenix emblems."

"Looks like the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ my uncle passed down connects to the Kunpeng we see here."

A flash of insight hit Lu Quanzhen as he became absorbed in watching the enormous nest, where runes shifted from gold to darkness, mimicking a Kunpeng's form.

But right then, a terrifying, icy aura crashed down on him, draining the color from his face while his qi and blood magical power churned wildly. The technique tried to activate by itself, but his mana moved slowly, and his arms and legs grew numb and weak.

His eyes snapped open to reveal eighteen spectral soul maidens clutching ritual fans, trays, and simple cloths, serving around an opulent throne studded with gold and gems, draped in flowing veils.

Through the veils layered with shadowy spirits, he caught sight of a graceful, captivating form crowned with elaborate treasures.

The crushing force bearing down on him originated from the throne's occupant!

"Who could this be?"

Shock gripped Lu Quanzhen's mind.

Everyone knew the Kunpeng Nest drew not just cultivators hunting treasures but also hordes of savage sea beasts.

Without Shi Hai True Monarch and Wugu Old Demon's support, his power alone wouldn't have gotten him this far.

Yet the throne's master boldly showed such splendor inside the Secret Realm.

Plus, he couldn't pierce the strength of even one of those eighteen spectral soul maidens at first glance, figuring each one's cultivation and magical power matched or exceeded his!

Just then, Shi Hai True Monarch moved in front of Lu Quanzhen, cupping his hands in a respectful bow toward the throne. "I wonder in what way my young disciple has offended the Demon Consort?"

"Demon Consort! This is the former ruler of the White Bone Palace, the Six Paths Demon Consort!?"

With Shi Hai True Monarch taking the lead, Lu Quanzhen eased up a bit, blood returning to his cheeks. He pieced together who sat on the throne.

The top demon cultivator of the Starry Sky Sea, the Dao Companion to the Six Paths Demon Lord, the prior master of the White Bone Palace, the Six Paths Demon Consort!

Lu Quanzhen's spirit stayed on edge, puzzled over why this Six Paths Demon Consort had singled him out.

"Young disciple? I don’t recall you, Shi Hai, taking on such a disciple?"

A relaxed, offhand voice slipped from the throne, soft and tempting all the same.

"The Demon Consort has so many duties, she may not know. This young friend just became a named disciple under Daoist Shi Hai."

Since Lu Quanzhen played a key role in their plans, Wugu Old Demon nearby also advanced to clarify the situation.

"How intriguing. I never thought you’d take a disciple who trains in demonic techniques, Shi Hai, and now you’re associating with Wugu too."

The Six Paths Demon Consort let out a light laugh, her alluring tone seeping into the bones, stirring unwanted fantasies.

A few Nascent Soul True Lords near the ancient nest turned their gazes toward Shi Hai True Monarch and Wugu Old Demon upon hearing that, scrutinizing Lu Quanzhen.

Suddenly, Lu Quanzhen sensed himself being examined closely, and the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique kicked in on instinct.

"Heh, so it’s the Kunpeng Demon Technique."

"A heir to the Kunpeng Demon Technique, Daoist Shi Hai—why hide it so carefully?"

"No, this youth’s Kunpeng Demon Technique feels off from the norm."

The cultivators gathered there were no weaklings—if not Nascent Soul True Lords, then Transformed Demon Kings, or followers dragged in by Nascent Soul cultivators or Transformed Demon Kings.

As a result, the nature of Lu Quanzhen’s Kunpeng Demon Technique got spotted right away by those on hand.

Experts like Wugu Old Demon, well-versed in demonic arts, quickly noted that Lu Quanzhen’s version of the Kunpeng Demon Technique stood out as exceptional.

"Since you carry on the Kunpeng Demon Technique, step up and try opening this nest."

The Six Paths Demon Consort’s voice echoed from behind the veils.

Top cultivators in the Starry Sky Sea already knew the link between the Kunpeng Demon Technique and the Kunpeng Nest.

This time, with the nest appearing, many had rushed to find users of the Kunpeng Demon Technique, aiming to employ them in accessing the Secret Realm’s deepest rewards.

Certain factions had even raised Kunpeng Demon Technique practitioners specifically, biding time for the Secret Realm’s activation.

Shi Hai True Monarch and Wugu Old Demon shared a look, realizing they couldn’t claim the prize just for themselves in this setup.

Besides, it remained uncertain if Lu Quanzhen’s Kunpeng Demon Technique could actually unlock the ancient den before them.

"Young friend, proceed without fear. Daoist Shi Hai and I will guard you."

Wugu Old Demon, showing deep respect for the Six Paths Demon Consort, addressed Lu Quanzhen gravely.

Under these circumstances, Lu Quanzhen had little option but to approach and inspect the ancient den.

He noticed a few cultivators, similar to Wugu Old Demon, who had trained in partial techniques, pouring mana into the den, while others grabbed chances to study the runes on top, copying them on the spot.

"Buzz!"

The moment he channeled his mana into it, the ancient den flared with golden and black light.

"Hmm!?"

Right away, several cultivators present fixed their eyes on Lu Quanzhen, narrowing them slightly as excitement flared up.
