Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1980: 519: Third Palace Master Shen Yiren, Demonic Sect!

Furthermore, my esteemed martial uncle is mild-tempered and benevolent, hence nobody should dare to entertain notions of the mighty bullying the feeble before her.

"Make sure to heal your wounds properly. I'll head out later to encounter this Xuanmu Taoist."

Shen Yiren softly took hold of Qin Yunning’s wrist as she uttered those words.

Differing from her two sisters, she cultivated the Nourishing Life Technique, which granted her superior skills in restoration.

She figured that the Xuanmu Taoist was probably a healer who also followed the Nourishing Life Technique path, prompting her to decide on visiting him to show appreciation for his aid while subtly exploring his background.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle."

Aware of her martial uncle's temperament, Qin Yunning answered with straightforward respect.

...

"So, this must be the Penglai Immortal City?"

It was undeniable that the Penglai Immortal City unfolding before him was exceptionally grand, surpassing his own Great Dream Immortal City, the Azure Phoenix Immortal City under the Azure Phoenix True Monarch's domain, and even the Jiuxiao Immortal City controlled by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Every section of the city walls appeared forged from pure jade, gleaming with brilliant hues beneath the sunlight.

As a Third Rank Top Level Formation Master and Second Rank Dragon Seeker, Lu Changsheng quickly discerned that the Penglai Immortal City ranked as a Fourth Rank Immortal City, protected by a Fourth-tier Forbidden Array.

"Without the extraordinary essence of a Heavenly Nascent Soul, renting a cave mansion here to pursue Nascent Soul advancement would be feasible, provided one pays the required cost."

Silently contemplating while eyeing the Penglai Immortal City, Lu Changsheng reflected on this.

Setting aside the Heavenly Nascent Soul, even striving for an Earth Dao Nascent Soul demands harnessing the Earth Veins' power from the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, which stirs upheavals that hinder others' cultivation.

Thus, securing a cave mansion in a Fourth Rank Immortal City for Earth Dao Nascent Soul breakthrough proves immensely difficult, except by offering a substantial fee.

Without delay, Lu Changsheng released a subtle but noticeable Core Formation Spirit Pressure as he proceeded onward.

Despite the throng of cultivators queuing at the Immortal City's gates for entry and departure.

As elite figures, Core Formation cultivators enjoy special rights everywhere they go.

With nods of deference, admiration, and jealousy from numerous onlookers, the city guards promptly directed Lu Changsheng to the elite cultivator entrance.

On his initial visit, he had to acquire an identity token, so Lu Changsheng provided the name "Xuanmu Taoist" accordingly.

Once inside the Penglai Immortal City, beyond the somewhat elevated standard of its residents, nothing particularly remarkable caught the eye.

Lu Changsheng took up residence at a tavern, gathered basic details about the Immortal City's conditions, and then roamed casually, collecting intel on the Kunpeng Nest, scouting for essential Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials, all while anticipating the arrival of a representative from the Goddess Palace.

...

At the same time.

Deep within the ocean, a massive egg adorned with interwoven golden glows and enigmatic dark motifs pulsed with a faint presence.

Any demon beast that ventured near triggered the egg's patterns to swirl and merge, crafting a shadowy vortex that gradually swallowed the intruder.

"Curse it, at this pace, it will hatch soon enough..."

Having latched onto a juvenile Kunpeng, Lu Quanzhen had tricked it into manipulating the Kunpeng giant egg, triggering the teleportation array to flee the Kunpeng Nest Secret Realm.

Yet presently, no matter his words, the juvenile Kunpeng refused to trust him, eager only to emerge and eradicate him without delay.

He could wrest dominance and further sabotage the juvenile Kunpeng, but he lacked the endurance to outlast it, managing merely to postpone the inevitable slightly.

"The Kunpeng giant egg blocks calculations of Heavenly Secrets; I wonder if Father can locate me..."

"If desperation strikes, I should dispatch these treasures outward."

Through their odd symbiotic bond, Lu Quanzhen understood the Kunpeng giant egg's power to obstruct and disrupt Heavenly Secrets calculations.

In these circumstances, even with his father's bloodline detection methods, tracking him down posed a formidable challenge.

Over these past days, he had attempted endless strategies to escape.

However, locked in the Demon Fetus Parasite state, he couldn't even crack the Kunpeng giant egg.

Furthermore, forsaking the parasite and dissolving the Demon Fetus Parasite Technique would plunge him into severe debilitation.

This would leave him vulnerable to the juvenile Kunpeng's immediate assault.

Consequently, he resolved that should the juvenile Kunpeng hatch for real, he would battle fiercely, transmitting away the treasures he had gained along with the Sun and Moon Token, as his ultimate gift to the family.

Indeed, his discoveries in the Kunpeng Nest had yielded substantial rewards.

Notably, the bone talisman and porcelain bottle he had claimed from the Kunpeng Altar!

In recent days, to facilitate his getaway, he had stripped all usable possessions from himself, including the bone talisman and porcelain bottle obtained at the Kunpeng Nest Altar.

The bone talisman seemed to be a sort of Fourth Rank Talisman Treasure, but regrettably, in his present condition, activation eluded him.

The porcelain bottle was doubtless the fabled Empty Cyan Bottle.

It preserved Elixir Medicines' potency, enduring for a thousand years or even ten thousand.

Apart from those two prizes he secured, the altar spoils seized by other demonic inheritors now resided inside the Kunpeng giant egg.

He might manage to propel one or two items away.

Though bracing for the direst outcome, Lu Quanzhen persisted, using the juvenile Kunpeng to study the "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique" and "Demon Fetus Parasite Technique."

In hopes of uncovering an escape route via these Cultivation Techniques.

....

Demonic Sect.

"A Kunpeng egg has surfaced in the Starry Sky Sea? And someone has comprehended the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’?"

This day, while managing sect matters, the Heavenly Demon Sect Master was taken aback upon encountering this intelligence.

He was shocked not just by the Kunpeng egg's appearance but also by the fact that an individual had successfully grasped the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique.’

This Cultivation Technique originated from a past Demonic Sect patriarch, fusing elements from various methods into a novel creation.

Across millennia, scant few in the Demonic Sect had achieved true proficiency in it.

Grasping this Cultivation Technique necessitated [Kunpeng Essence Blood] as its core support.

Through the years, the Demonic Sect's supply of Kunpeng Essence Blood had vanished entirely, causing the Technique to languish unused.

While numerous disciples still opted to cultivate it, not one had attained mastery.

Even exceptional prodigies who delved deeply into this Technique faltered at its limitations, failing to reach Nascent Soul.

"Call forth this disciple who has mastered the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique for an audience."

The Heavenly Demon Sect Master considered for a moment, then commanded, eager to learn how the individual had conquered the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique.

At once, a cultivator dropped to one knee, paid obeisance, and declared: "Sect Master, Elder Zuo Qiu passed along this information, stating he witnessed a disciple called ’Zhao Wuzhen’ who had mastered the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique, yet tragically fell in the Starry Sky Sea's Kunpeng Nest."

"Regrettably, Elder Zuo Qiu recalled no such disciple, so I checked the Record Hall, but discovered no record of him."

So recounted the cultivator.

"Zhao Wuzhen? No trace of him?"

The Heavenly Demon Sect Master furrowed his brow.

Although the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ boasted few successes and had long been sidelined, as a text from the Third Layer of the Sect’s Sutra Pavilion, access and practice were restricted to core true inheritors.

Under these conditions, the absence of any record for this disciple was baffling.

"Perhaps this individual obtained the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ from external sources?"

While factions vigilantly shield their Cultivation Techniques against spread.

Still, certain disciples or elders facing peril abroad might transmit their legacies through covert channels, resulting in disclosures.

Such conduct carries benefits and drawbacks.

The benefit lies in a recipient inheriting the legacy potentially joining the Demonic Sect as a member.

The risk involves the technique's exposure, allowing rivals to analyze and counter it.

"Yet the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ hasn't seen mastery in almost a thousand years.... hold on...."

In that instant, a bolt of realization seemed to strike the Heavenly Demon Sect Master's thoughts, causing his eyes to narrow faintly as a memory resurfaced.

He halted briefly, then proceeded: "Given the Kunpeng egg's emergence, dispatch a team to investigate. Per the Sect’s archives, the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ ties intricately to the Kunpeng Nest. Carry the foundational elements of this Cultivation Technique; it might lead to the Kunpeng egg."

For a premier sect like the Demonic Sect, a prize such as the Kunpeng egg held immense value.

Should the Kunpeng egg be located and raised, it would yield a Guardian Sect Beast bearing True Spirit Bloodline, while reviving the practice of the ’Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique.’
