Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1973: 517: Tier 4 Puppet, Heading to the Starry Sky Sea!
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Bi Lake Mountain, Bailian Peak.
Beneath the Fire Mulberry Tree, within the sweltering Insect Room.
"It appears that these Iron Fire Ants have hit a growth bottleneck."
Lu Chensha gazed upon the countless Iron Fire Ants clustered into blazing crimson iron spheres, letting out a sigh.
He understood full well that these Iron Fire Ants had arrived at their limit.
For them to advance more, it was necessary to supply them with diverse precious metal ores, prompting them to slaughter and consume one another.
This method demanded immense time, draining both effort and materials heavily.
"Yet for my needs, it’s just adequate enough, provided I avoid clashing with a Nascent Soul Cultivator—it ought to suffice."
Lu Chensha pondered inwardly, considering that now with the Iron Fire Ants at Small Achievement, it was time to venture forth for a possible advancement.
Beforehand, he had planned to reach Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer and then head out for tempering.However, once he achieved the Sixth Layer, he felt no urgency to depart hastily.
Truth be told, the perks and provisions from the Lu Family proved rather generous.
Besides managing the clan’s beast-taming duties and aiding in nurturing Iron Fire Ants along with refining Refining Crystals, he earned extra compensations.
Thus, under these conditions, venturing sporadically into the Black Cloud Mountain Range for hunts didn’t leave him short on supplies.
Yet presently, the Iron Fire Ants, Hui God Worms, and Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spiders had all stalled at developmental hurdles; depending solely on clan supplies and the Demon Beasts from Black Cloud Mountain Range fell short.
He needed to travel to regions such as the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Azure Phoenix Immortal City, and Great Dream Immortal City to gather ample resources, allowing the Hui God Worms and Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spiders to progress ahead, paving the way for his Core Formation ambitions.
"Even though the Liangyue War brings turmoil, with Azure Phoenix Immortal City standing guard, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range likely stays untouched."
Only the top echelons of Azure Phoenix Immortal City and the Four Great Immortal Sects knew of Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s exit, keeping the knowledge from widespread notice.
Beyond the Heavenly Sword Sect, no other powers dared verify the facts, thanks to Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s penchant for early deception, frequently spreading misleading intel to bewilder all sides.
As a result, Lu Chensha remained oblivious to the absence of a Nascent Soul True Lord in Azure Phoenix Immortal City at present.
"Maybe I ought to advance to Foundation Establishment Late Stage prior to setting out?"
Weighing the perils within the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Lu Chensha figured attaining Foundation Establishment Late Stage would serve as a wiser choice.
Despite possessing merely a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, by employing Beast Technique to bind Hui God Worms, Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spiders, and Thousand Legged Centipedes, his cultivation speed matched that of a Superior Grade Spiritual Root.
In this setup, remaining at home to hit Foundation Establishment Late Stage posed no great challenge.
"Never mind, I’ll hold off until I reach the peak of the Sixth Layer..."
Though breaking through to Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer might occur at home, the hurdle between Sixth and Seventh Layer, tackled via steady, grinding Cultivation Technique, would consume considerable time nonetheless.
Should his father inquire why he lingered at home in such toil, the situation would turn rather embarrassing.
Having nourished the Iron Fire Ants, Lu Chensha exited the Insect Room and proceeded to Bi Shui Lake to inspect the other Spiritual Beasts under his family’s care.
"Chensha."
At that moment, a disciple from the Lu Family approached, informing him that the Lady had called for him.
"Very well, I’ll head there right away!"
Hearing this, Lu Chensha refrained from probing more and swiftly soared toward Bi Yun Peak, reaching the Lu Family Mansion.
Inside the hall, he spotted Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaoyun engaged in relaxed conversation.
"Chensha greets Aunt!"
Lu Chensha hastily formed a cupped fist salute.
Although Lu Miaoge resided at Bi Lake Mountain, her visits were infrequent, delegating most tasks to Lu Miaoyun.
Hence, he swiftly deduced that an urgent matter might be afoot.
"Chensha, how’s your cultivation progressing these days?"
Lu Miaoge regarded Lu Chensha and inquired with a warm smile, devoid of any pretension, evoking a sense of effortless warmth.
Lu Chensha replied with candor.
After probing into his latest affairs, Lu Miaoge pressed on: "Have you caught wind of the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm in the Great Dream Marsh of late?"
"I’ve heard a bit about it."
Even though Lu Chensha seldom ventured abroad, he kept tabs on key developments.
Primarily, since the Qingyun Sect announced it, numerous Lu Family disciples buzzed about the topic, so he was inevitably informed.
That said, the secret realm held little appeal for him.
For starters, it permitted entry to False Core Cultivators.
Moreover, his techniques would lose half their potency amid the expansive watery expanses of Great Dream Marsh.
"Senior Red Lotus messaged me, recommending that you visit the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm during this journey."
Lu Miaoge stated plainly.
While Lu Changsheng avoided pressuring anyone on such issues, allowing the young ones to decide freely.
Nevertheless, the secret realm now fell under complete control of Hong Lian and Ling Zixiao.
Thus, Hong Lian specifically selected certain Lu Family disciples to participate.
Not aiming for grand fortunes, but rather to seize the chance for tempering and expanding their worldview.
Naturally, a key factor was that allies managed the realm, eliminating fears of mishaps.
Lu Chensha felt a jolt of surprise learning it stemmed from Senior Hong Lian’s suggestion.
Still, with Lu Miaoge’s directive, refusal was out of the question; he promptly cupped his hands and responded: "Understood, I’ll make preparations at once."
"Fine, no haste is required for this; soon a Qingyun Spirit Ship will depart for Great Dream Immortal City, and you may board it."
"Incidentally, join Little Qin, Xuanqian, and Qingze en route, and upon reaching Great Dream Immortal City, link up with Sister Wangshu and the rest."
Lu Miaoge spoke with serene poise, clad in a plain white gown.
"Sister-in-law, Qingze, Xuanqian, Sister Wangshu—they’re joining too?"
Lu Chensha expressed astonishment at the revelation.
"Great Dream Immortal City plans to distribute rewards then, so strive to shine."
Lu Miaoge offered Lu Chensha a bit more encouragement before dismissing him to handle his duties and delegate his responsibilities.
....
With the tidings of the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm proliferating and gaining momentum, droves of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and False Core Immortals flocked to Great Dream Marsh.
Great Dream Immortal City capitalized on the buzz by hosting several auctions, filling the air with vibrant energy.
