Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1998: 524: Dream Beloved, Five Core Formation Offspring! (Double-Length)

"I might have... fallen in love at first sight."

"Yet, realizing she didn't know the man's name or background, she let out a soft sigh."

"Shen Yiren and Qin Yunning simply assumed Qin Wanzhao was being bashful, oblivious to the fact that she was already dreaming of someone special. After a little playful ribbing, they suggested that since she had now advanced to Core Formation, there was no need for her to slip away secretly for training."

"Should she wish to venture outside, she ought to assume some duties in the Immortal City first. As luck would have it, Qin Yunning was recuperating from her wounds, providing Qin Wanzhao a perfect chance to step in and gain a deeper understanding of the responsibilities."

"..."

"In Jiang Country."

"Once the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm concluded, tales of its events rapidly circulated from Great Dream Marsh across the entire Jiang Country Cultivation Realm."

"Every cultivator learned that this secret realm had been mainly established by the Great Dream City Lord to hone his son, gearing up for the young man's advancement to Core Formation."

"Inside the realm, the Young City Lord's feats left countless individuals in awe."

"Possessing only Foundation Establishment cultivation, he clashed with False Core Immortals, triumphing over three in a row, while also overpowering a horde of fellow Foundation Establishment experts!"

"This terrifying prowess caused many cultivators to dismiss it as exaggerated hearsay."

"Beyond the Young City Lord's jaw-dropping exploits, the most staggering revelation was about Lu Wangshu, offspring of Changsheng True Master and Master Xiyue."

"Her Void Drawing of Talismans skill was exceptional, dominating peers at her level."

"Moreover, she commanded thirty-six Second Rank Talisman Soldiers and over ten Third Rank Talismans!"

"Although she refrained from flaunting her might against fellow participants, her formidable capabilities were beyond dispute!"

"She emerged as the ultimate victor of the secret realm, topping the charts with an impressive two hundred and sixteen tokens!"

"'This reeks of favoritism, doesn't it? The realm was meant to toughen the Young City Lord, and the top reward goes to the Deputy City Lord's daughter.'"

"'The real issue is Changsheng True Master's blatant bias, handing his daughter thirty-six Second Rank Talisman Soldiers. No one else stood a chance...'"

"'Exactly, who brings an entire squad of Dao Soldiers to a secret realm trial?'"

"'Not just those thirty-six Talisman Soldiers, but more than ten Third Rank Talismans too. I bet she had even more tucked away, never deployed.'"

"'Darn it, if my clan had Dao Soldiers, I'd haul them along as well; no one could touch me!'"

"'Thanks to that Coagulation Crystal Elixir, this Talisman Fairy's path to Core Formation looks all but assured.'"

"'The Heavenly Talisman Lu Family is set to claim another Core Formation Immortal, paving the way for a lineage boasting five Core Formations!'"

"'Holding the Coagulation Crystal Elixir, despite the backlash, it's somewhat forgivable. Still, I never imagined Changsheng True Master played his cards so close to the chest, quietly amassing a force of Talisman Soldiers.'"

"Countless conversations swirled around the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm's developments, with many covertly criticizing Lu Changsheng for his unfair tactics."

"Yet, the predominant sentiments were envy and resentment aimed at the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family and Lu Wangshu's advantageous position."

"Truth be told, even if other factions owned Dao Soldiers, dragging them into a secret realm remained impractical."

"A single error could result in the Dao Soldiers' demise within the realm, causing devastating harm to the vital energy and rendering the risks far greater than any rewards."

"Such extravagance was feasible only for a rising powerhouse like the Lu Family, where an ancestor doted on his bloodline daughter to this extent."

"'Heavenly Talisman Lu Family... Lu Wangshu...'"

"Rumors reached Qingyun Sect and its affiliated clans, stirring profound reactions among them."

"After all, the ascent of the Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family had unfolded in under a hundred years."

"Nevertheless, Qingyun Sect itself was profoundly stunned by these reports."

"They were astounded that Lu Changsheng had concealed his depths so masterfully, even fostering an army of Talisman Soldiers in secret!"

"Though Lu Wangshu deployed merely thirty-six Second Rank Talisman Soldiers."

"If a Foundation Establishment heir wielded that many Second Rank ones, surely her father commanded no fewer than a hundred in total, no?"

"A Talisman Cultivator at Third Rank Superior Grade, overseeing over a hundred soldiers."

"Earlier whispers suggested Lu Ping'an might evolve into the next Azure Phoenix Immortal."

"However, to Qingyun Sect and observers now, this Lu Changsheng bore the unmistakable hallmarks of the forthcoming Azure Phoenix True Monarch!"

"His divine abilities and methods remained shrouded in mystery and unpredictability!"

"'From what we can piece together, the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City and that early Foundation Establishment talent from the Lu Family are one and the same. Ties between the Great Dream City Lord and Lu Family run deep...'"

"Additionally, Lu Lingxiao had revealed his complete arsenal in the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm, with his techniques captured in full by the Four Great Immortal Sects."

"The Four Great Immortal Sects swiftly verified, drawing from prior intelligence, that Lu Lingxiao had joined the Lu Family at a young age, fought in land-reclamation arrays, and honed his skills alongside Heavenly Talisman Lu Family members in Azure Phoenix Immortal City."

"'It appears Lu Changsheng forged a bond with this newly installed Great Dream City Lord many years back.'"

"'According to our records, Wang Lin and Li Muwan hail not from the Southern Wilderness, but probably the Northern Desolate Cultivation Realm. Perhaps their son initially arrived close to the Lu Family? Or was he entrusted to them temporarily?'"

"'At that time, Li Muwan exuded the presence of a Nascent Soul soul. It's probable both spouses are Nascent Soul cultivators, but upon reaching the Southern Wilderness, they endured grave wounds, their realms plummeted, and they've been recuperating in Jiang Country. They must have linked up with Lu Changsheng and opted to back him?'"

"Cultivators from the Four Great Immortal Sects dissected various details concerning Great Dream Immortal City and the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family."

"No matter their theories, they never entertained the wild idea that the Great Dream City Lord and Lu Family Patriarch Lu Changsheng were identical."

"Such a concept struck as utterly implausible and earth-shattering. Absent Lu Changsheng being a Nascent Soul True Monarch's reincarnated vessel, attaining that level of cultivation and influence in a mere century was simply impossible."

"Even fleeting suspicions along those lines were quashed by historical occurrences, like joint appearances of Lu Changsheng and the Great Dream City Lord during beast tides and whale hunting banquets."

"..."

"As for the swirling external gossip and reports, the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family celebrated heartily, its disciples brimming with pride and glory."
