Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1967: 514: Divination Life Tools, Secret Realm Development!

Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
A Kunpeng Egg emerges from the collapsing Kunpeng Nest Secret Realm, evading interception by Nascent Soul cultivators and vanishing into the void, while the nest sinks into the sea. The shocking news spreads across the Starry Sky Sea, sparking fierce battles over emerging treasures that claim the lives of several Nascent Soul True Lords and injure others, heightening tensions among forces. In the Great Dream Marsh, Senior Red Lotus inspects a newly accessible Secret Realm teeming with spiritual energy and wild demon beasts, temporarily seals it, and reports to Lu Changsheng, who plans to test it with loose cultivators before sending his son Lu Ping’an to explore, while preparing divination tools to assess risks for his sons.

A half month had passed.

City Lord Mansion, Refining Hall.

Atop the black-gold Treasure Forging Platform, the Thunder Gang Dragon Flame, shaped like a purple-red Flood Dragon, surged aggressively toward a thumb-sized Copper Coin adorned with elaborate patterns.

Observing the Copper Coin shake violently, Lu Changsheng formed a hand seal and flung out two copper coins he had forged beforehand.

In an instant, the trio of copper coins aligned in a tripod formation, their Qi mechanisms linking up and intensifying.

Once the moment and circumstances aligned perfectly, Lu Changsheng unleashed the prepared [Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Qi] to purify and merge the Qi mechanisms of the three copper coins, finalizing the process and creating the Compound Magical Treasure!

After quite some time, the three copper coins radiated a brilliant Spiritual Light and dropped into Lu Changsheng’s grasp.

"It’s finally complete. I hope it doesn’t disappoint me."

Lu Changsheng examined the copper coins in his palm and exhaled deeply.

To craft these three copper coins on par with top-grade Magical Treasures, he had invested substantial Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials, including a share of Nascent Soul Spiritual Object.

If the results fall short, it would represent a massive setback for him!

"Let’s first probe Quanzhen’s status."

Reflecting on the effort, forging this Life Tool had consumed almost half a year.

From the family records, his son Lu Quanzhen faces no immediate life threat, suggesting he has exited the Secret Realm.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Lu Changsheng casually flipped the three copper coins in his hand, then executed a hand gesture.

As the divination commenced, the copper coins in front of him slowly released a faint golden radiance, spreading an enigmatic Qi mechanism that dispersed complex runes, weaving together with the Heavenly Mechanism Qi surrounding Lu Changsheng.

"Quanzhen has exited the Secret Realm, yet a certain power persists in obstructing and severing his Heavenly Mechanism, rendering his destiny unclear!"

Through the divination coins, Lu Changsheng detected a shift in the Power of Heavenly Mechanism linked to his son, Lu Quanzhen.

It was no longer as muddled and hidden as earlier, where not even a trace could be detected.

By sacrificing Essence Blood and Life Span, there could be a chance to glean some details.

"The Great Dream Marsh and Starry Sky Sea lie far distant. Once I journey to the Starry Sky Sea for intelligence on his whereabouts and employ the father-son bloodline as a conduit, sacrificing Essence Blood and Life Span might allow deeper insight into his predicament."

In merely a brief divination session, Lu Changsheng’s complexion had grown rather pallid.

Partly, because divination demands immense mental exertion.

Additionally, the prior artifact forging had drained him considerably, leaving him far from his optimal state.

"Evidently, this divination Life Tool wasn’t forged for nothing; it possesses real value."

Lu Changsheng stored the three copper coins away, opting not to press the divination further.

Aware of his present state, persisting would merely squander Essence Blood and Life Span.

Better to travel to the Starry Sky Sea, collect data on his son’s circumstances, uncover pertinent leads, and then resume divination.

"This force concealing the Heavenly Mechanism feels exceptionally sophisticated, distinct from other diviners’ methods. Might Quanzhen be ensnared within a Cave Heaven Treasure that shields against divination?"

Lu Changsheng mulled over the faint divinatory signs he had perceived, deep in thought.

Such a Cave Heaven Treasure that blocks divination is exceedingly scarce, typically beyond the reach of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Given that his son, Lu Quanzhen, carries the quasi-fourth rank talisman he bestowed, he should evade threats below Nascent Soul caliber.

Therefore, his son has probably been captured by a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Ah, why does every one of them end up tangled with Nascent Soul Cultivators."

Lu Changsheng felt a touch of exasperation.

Wherever one goes, Nascent Soul Cultivators rank as elite among High Rank Cultivators.

Nascent Soul Cultivators are mysterious, seldom encountered, and ordinarily, provoking a Nascent Soul Cultivator spells trouble.

Still, his eldest son, Lu Ping’an, had crossed one, and now his son, Lu Quanzhen, has become embroiled with another.

"Hopefully Qing Shan and Yaoyao avoid entanglements with Nascent Soul Cultivators too..."

As he considered his other two offspring who had advanced to the Core Formation Stage, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help reflecting.

Yet, recalling the uproar he stirred in the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm], with ongoing surveillance from various Nascent Soul Level Powers and cultivators across Southern Wilderness Northern Domain, Lu Changsheng shook his head once more.

Facing the inescapable challenges he had weathered, it was inevitable that his children would face perils while venturing abroad in pursuit of fortune.

...

"Husband, what’s wrong?"

Noticing Lu Changsheng’s somewhat ashen face, Ling Zixiao asked with immediate worry.

"Just performed the divination art, it took a toll, but it’s fine."

Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.

With his Fourth Rank Body Refining, his physical form is exceptional, granting him an edge over fellow diviners during divinations.

For example, the Essence Blood expended produces superior outcomes and replenishes more swiftly.

"Divination?"

Ling Zixiao certainly knew of divination, having delved into the Lu Family’s divination legacy previously.

That said, her aptitude in this field was limited, and with priorities elsewhere, she only grasped the basics.

"Yes, I detected some lurking peril around Quanzhen, so I tried divining..."

Lu Changsheng shared honestly.

He had originally intended, after handling family affairs, to depart for the Starry Sky Sea seeking Nascent Soul prospects.

Now, due to his son Lu Quanzhen’s predicament, urgency mounted, and he planned to proceed post the Secret Realm resolution.

"Zi Xiao, what’s the latest on the Secret Realm?"

Lu Changsheng pressed further.

"The Secret Realm remains steady, just as Senior Hong Lian described, without any oddities, though multiple Third Rank Demon Kings have surfaced, complicating expansion and scouting efforts."

Ling Zixiao answered without delay.

"Have you notified Ping’an?"

"I reached out to Miaoge, and Ping’an ought to be en route; calculating the time, he should arrive shortly."

Even though Lu Changsheng had carried the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to the Great Dream Immortal City, communicating with Bi Lake Mountain stayed effortless.

"Good, I’ll take a few days to recover, and once Ping’an gets here, hold off on entering the Secret Realm—await my return."
