Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1975: 517: Tier 4 Puppet, Heading to the Starry Sky Sea!

Yet, considering Bai Ling's remarkable talent paired with the Coagulation Crystal Elixir, Five Elements Spirit Fruit, and various other Core Formation treasures, her breakthrough appears virtually certain.

"Husband, there's no need to fret."

Hong Lian offered a soft smile and inquired about Lu Changsheng's timeline for departing to Starry Sky Sea.

"I'll swing by Bi Lake Mountain first before heading there."

Lu Changsheng planned to bid goodbye to Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, Xiao Xiyue, and the rest.

Afterward, he'd let out the well-trained Ying’er, use her to keep the Nether Moon Saintess under control with updates, and then rush straight to Starry Sky Sea.

"Mm."

Hong Lian snuggled close in Lu Changsheng’s arms, murmuring her agreement.

"I’ll leave A Wu and the Spiritual Whale behind. Should trouble arise, just have the Spiritual Whale step in right away."

For starters, Great Dream Immortal City required a mighty guardian to secure the base.

With both him and the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale gone, fending off a Nascent Soul powerhouse assault would prove incredibly tough.

For example, during the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's tribulation crossing, he'd eliminated a Fourth Rank Flood Dragon King and driven off a Fourth Rank Demon King. Should that Demon King rally a beast horde for revenge, the peril would be immense.

Even though the Michen Banner allowed swift return, the distance between spots was vast, and any holdup could spell disaster.

Additionally, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale had only recently ascended to Fourth Rank and required moments to integrate its inherited memories and unlock its Innate Divine Ability.

This voyage to Starry Sky Sea mainly aimed to probe the Infant Transformation Elixir's details and scout for Fourth Rank Spiritual Lands, plus track down his son Lu Quanzhen's location.

At his present power level, bolstered by Qian Zhuyan, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and the Soul-calling Beast, he could tackle nearly any challenge.

Only if an insurmountable crisis emerged would it make sense to summon the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale and Hong Lian later.

"You're not bringing the Spiritual Whale along?"

Hong Lian showed some astonishment, aware that Lu Changsheng had been holding off for the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale's Fourth Rank breakthrough.

"Mm, the Spiritual Whale has just reached Fourth Rank and needs time to consolidate its power; plus, having it guard home lets me rest easier."

Lu Changsheng replied with a warm smile.

...

Having shared moments with Hong Lian, Ling Zixiao, Meng Xiaochan, Bai Ling, and his other wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng visited his kids, urging them to excel in the Secret Realm contest.

Next, he pulled his daughter Lu Wangshu aside for a private talk about his son Lu Lingxiao, asking her to support him as the big sister when the moment arrived.

"Understood~"

Though Lu Wangshu often played pranks and teased her siblings, she grasped the significance here.

Besides, her aunt Ling Zixiao had already discussed it with her.

She wanted Lu Wangshu to offer some aid to Lu Lingxiao.

Across all these years, she'd never witnessed this aunt behave so earnestly, realizing how serious it was.

"This competition's top prize is a Coagulation Crystal Elixir, set aside for you and Lingxiao; don't let your father down."

Lu Changsheng gazed at his daughter’s radiant expression, speaking with gentle affection.

This Secret Realm served not just as a platform for his son Lu Lingxiao to dazzle.

It doubled as one for his daughter Lu Wangshu too.

"Dad, aren't you worried we'll fail?"

Hearing the first-place prize was a Coagulation Crystal Elixir, Lu Wangshu's mouth fell open a bit, her eyes bulging as she stared at her father.

"That's due to my trust in you."

Lu Changsheng let out a light laugh.

"But what if we do lose!"

Lu Wangshu's heart ached at her father dangling such a precious elixir as incentive.

Even realizing the odds of someone else claiming it were tiny, she couldn't shake the pang.

Keep your treasures under wraps!

"Should you lose, that Coagulation Crystal Elixir of yours—your father will simply procure another."

Lu Changsheng shrugged casually.

"Dad, you're actually wagering my own Coagulation Crystal Elixir as the prize!"

Discovering the elixir was meant for her originally, Lu Wangshu felt even deeper sorrow, her eyes sparkling as she glared, half-wanting to chomp her father.

"Look at you, you tiny penny-pincher."

Lu Changsheng flicked his daughter's brow lightly, chiding her playfully.

He puzzled over why this girl, spoiled with everything since birth, clung so tightly to riches.

Following his chat with his daughter, he gave his son Lu Ping’an some brief guidance, then headed back to Bi Lake Mountain.

...

After quality time with Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen, Lu Changsheng made his way to Qingyun Sect.

But he found out Xiao Xiyue had been dispatched on a mission and wasn't at Qingyun Sect presently.

"Off to Yuan Country?"

From the Qingyun Sect Leader, Lu Changsheng heard the Liangyue War had reached a deadlock, with Yuan Country slipping agents into Wu Country, possibly allying with Liang Country.

In this tense setup, Heavenly Sword Sect called upon multiple Nascent Soul Cultivators from Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Spirit Taming Sect to ease the strain on Yue Country, aiming to wrap up the Liangyue War swiftly.

"Mm, City Lord Wang's support could prove vital."

The Qingyun Sect Leader shared these updates with Lu Changsheng to relay to Great Dream Immortal City, highlighting the shaky circumstances.

"Asking for my aid..."

Lu Changsheng was taken aback that his offhand chat with Absolute Sword True Monarch had evolved into a formal plea.

He was bound for Starry Sky Sea now and lacked bandwidth for these issues.

Probing deeper, he confirmed Xiao Xiyue and the group were mostly reinforcing Yue Country's defenses without major risks, which calmed him.

He swapped ten Third Rank Talismans with Qingyun Sect and departed.

Once out of Qingyun Sect, Lu Changsheng journeyed a thousand miles to a rugged range and freed the prepared Ying’er from the Goddess Furnace, handing her five Third Rank Top-Level Talismans while directing her to maintain stability with the Nether Moon Saintess over this stretch.

"Ying’er, in case of urgency, dispatch a signal to Bi Lake Mountain. Otherwise, if nothing crucial pops up, await my comeback."

Lu Changsheng addressed the graceful Ying’er, dressed in sleek dark armor.

He'd already given Lu Miaoyun a quick rundown on Ying’er.

Should a notice arrive, she'd alert Hong Lian to handle it accordingly.

"Yes, Master."

Ying’er answered with deference.

Still, to ensure security, Lu Changsheng embedded a Quasi-Fourth Rank Talisman into her Sea of Consciousness, guarding against any lapse in the Goddess Furnace's hold.

With these arrangements done, Lu Changsheng returned to Great Dream Immortal City, ready to embark toward Starry Sky Sea!
