Chapter 942 An Anomaly Appears! Lu Chensha Forms the Heavenly Dao Core!
“Fourth-tier, low-grade,” Bai Zhaozhao said.
Divination is a difficult art to learn and master, requiring considerable talent and ability.
Even though she possesses the bloodline of Bai Ze and is exceptionally talented in divination, her skills cannot surpass her cultivation level.
Considering the profound strength of the Yangming True Lord before her, who was likely a reincarnation of a great cultivator, Bai Zhaozhao added that her own fourth-grade low-level divination was unlikely to gain his approval.
"However, Zhao Zhao cultivates the 'Heavenly Evolution Technique,' which allows her to perform some divination as long as the mysteries of heaven are not too deep and she has reached the late Nascent Soul stage."
The Heavenly Evolution Technique is the supreme cultivation method of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, and not just anyone can practice it.
Only the holy sons or holy daughters of the Tianyan Sect can cultivate this technique.
Lu Changsheng was unaware of this information.
However, judging from her words, her "Tianyan Jue" was an extremely profound divination technique.
Lu Changsheng did not question this.
The "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Skill" that Qu Changge gave to his son Lu Quanzhen was of the profound level.
He wasn't surprised that these top forces in the Southern Wilderness possessed Dao-seeking level cultivation techniques.
"Alright, I also know a little about divination, but there are some things I can't see through the details of heavenly secrets. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Bai for help to break through the fog of heavenly secrets."
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Bai Zhaozhao was surprised.
I never expected that the True Lord Yangming before me would know the art of divination.
Thinking of the intricate web of celestial secrets woven into the Great Dream Immortal City, and the mysterious celestial mist surrounding the other party, she felt relieved.
Realizing that this Yangming Zhenjun was most likely a fourth-level divination master.
"Zhao Zhao will do her best." Bai Zhao Zhao's small face shone with a dazzling and enchanting divine glow as she spoke earnestly.
Although Lu Changsheng refused her invitation to fight against the great calamity of the demonic path, she still hoped to be on good terms with him so that she could help him in the future.
Moreover, the fact that Bai Xi's descendants had promised her to spare the lives of Qingcang Zhenjun and the others also warranted her help.
"When is a convenient time for Fellow Daoist Bai?"
Lu Changsheng inquired and learned that everyone's divination and predictions were different, so some preparations were needed.
"How about three days from now?" Bai Zhaozhao asked, indicating that some preparations needed to be made.
"Okay." Lu Changsheng nodded, chatted with Bai Zhaozhao for a few more words, and then left with Honglian.
“My lord, this Miss Bai must hold a very high position in the Tianyan Sect.”
After leaving Yunmeng Restaurant and returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Honglian told Lu Changsheng that she could tell Bai Zhaozhao was naive and inexperienced.
Such a Nascent Soul cultivator, who is inexperienced in the ways of the world, must have an extraordinary status.
"Hmm, he might be a disciple of a great cultivator from the Tianyan Sect."
Lu Changsheng could also see that Bai Zhaozhao was not very thoughtful, and immediately revealed her identity, background, and name upon meeting her.
However, he wouldn't mistake her for a naive and innocent person.
"As far as I know, the Tianyan Sect is different from the other major forces. Unless there is a major event in the cultivation world, it rarely travels outside."
"This young lady Bai is probably going out to fight against the great calamity of the demonic path. If you want to win her favor and help her, you can first agree to the matter of the calamity."
Having been married to Lu Changsheng for so many years, Honglian had long since realized that her husband was very keen on getting married and having children.
Although it differs somewhat from her earlier guesses about the Dragon Emperor's Dao Body and the Central Plains Saint King, the paths are roughly similar.
Under such circumstances, Bai Zhaozhao, who possesses the bloodline of Bai Ze and is skilled in divination, is more than capable of catching her husband's eye.
"What are you talking about?"
Although Lu Changsheng had feelings for Bai Zhaozhao and hoped she would become the mother of his child, he wouldn't resort to such despicable means.
Moreover, the other party's request for him to resist the great calamity and spare Qingcang Zhenjun and others truly showed a concern for the common people.
If you verbally agree, and then the other person becomes a mother and faces a major crisis in the future, should you help or not?
Especially since the other party comes from the Tianyan Sect, their status and position are extraordinary.
If she becomes the child's mother, it will inevitably attract the attention of the powerful figures behind her, who may even come knocking on her door.
"I was just saying it casually."
Honglian smiled slightly, and from Lu Changsheng's tone and expression, she could tell that he had some feelings for Bai Zhaozhao.
She didn't discuss this further and returned to the city lord's mansion with Lu Changsheng.
"Husband." Ling Zixiao, dressed in a royal blue palace dress with her hair styled in a high bun, called out to Lu Changsheng.
Having broken through to the Core Formation stage and having ruled the Immortal City for many years, she exudes an air of elegance and nobility amidst her dignified grace.
Although she is not as good-looking, elegant, or graceful as Honglian, she is not much worse in terms of presence, thus becoming a mere foil.
"Zixiao, you've come."
Lu Changsheng stepped forward, took his wife's hand, and inquired about her recent situation, telling her not to worry too much.
A moment later, Lu Changsheng said, "By the way, Zixiao, send someone to contact True Monarch Qingcang and True Monarch Jinfeng to inquire about their forces."
Lu Changsheng had previously promised Bai Zhaozhao to spare the five members of the Azure Azure True Monarch, partly because he wanted her to help with divination.
Most importantly, he had no intention of killing anyone.
Of the five, all except Yin Lei Zhenjun possessed power.
Rather than killing them outright, it would be better to let them pay a ransom with the money of their respective factions.
They could also have Ayouduo place restrictions on them, indirectly control them, and use them for their own purposes, in preparation for dealing with the great calamity of the demonic path.
“Okay~” Ling Zixiao replied softly, chatting with Lu Changsheng about some things in Jiang Kingdom.
“Husband, Xiao’er’s cultivation of fire magic is not suitable for a body of water like the Great Dream Marsh. Perhaps we should let him cultivate at Yangming Mountain in the future.”
"Miaoge cultivates water magic and can come to the Great Dream Immortal City to cultivate. Qingyan has also broken through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and is now in charge of the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldier. She can be stationed in the Immortal City in the future."
Now, Jiang Guogui is under her husband's name, and the Heavenly Sword Sect has become her husband's training ground.
Ling Zixiao naturally felt that it was best for her son to cultivate himself on Yangming Mountain.
As for the Great Dream Immortal City, it's really just so-so.
“Yes, Yangming Mountain is more suitable for Xiao’er’s cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng knew his wife's little thoughts.
However, since Lu Lingxiao is Yangming Zhenjun's son, it is perfectly normal for him to go to Yangming Mountain.
Moreover, as Ling Zixiao said, the Great Dream Immortal City is not suitable for her son.
"I plan to go to Yangmingshan with Honglian in a few days. Xiao'er is on Yangmingshan now, isn't he?"
Lu Changsheng knew that his sons Lu Lingxiao and Lu Qingxuan were both in Yangming Mountain.
"Yes." Ling Zixiao nodded, indicating that her son was at Yangming Mountain, where he was handing over responsibilities to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Later, I will have the Seven Sects of Zhenhai send a group of array masters. At that time, Zixiao, you will bring these array masters to Yangming Mountain to set up the mountain gate array."
His wife, Ling Zixiao, and son, Lu Lingxiao, are both proficient in formations.
Setting up the Yangmingshan Grand Formation next would be a great opportunity for both of them to improve.
“Okay~” Ling Zixiao readily agreed.
Three days later, Lu Changsheng and Honglian, after spending some time together, went to rest and adjust their physical and mental state. They were to have a divination session with Bai Zhaozhao to calculate the information about Qingluan Zhenjun's daughter, Muque.
However, before that, he went to see the Turtle Immortal Ancestor.
He handed over the fourth-grade pills and spiritual herbs he had obtained from the storage rings of Luo Fuzi, Qingcang Zhenjun, and others to the other party so that he could heal his injuries and recover.
"Thank you very much, sir," said the Turtle Immortal Ancestor, his face filled with gratitude.
He himself had many treasured healing items.
But if Lu Changsheng doesn't care about his hard work and dedication, he will feel somewhat disheartened.
"Take good care of yourself." Lu Changsheng patted his hunched shoulder to show his affection.
Lu Changsheng then went to the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus, took out the demon core of the Twin-Headed Earth Dragon, and said, "Spirit Whale, this fourth-order great pill is for you to use in your cultivation."
"Thank you, sir!"
Lu Lingjing was very excited and happy to see the Earth Dragon Pill she had been longing for, and thanked Lu Changsheng.
"Hehe." Lu Changsheng looked at the little girl's adorable appearance as she hugged the Earth Dragon Pill and patted her head with amusement.
Normally, a demon king like Lu Lingjing who has transformed into human form dislikes having his head rubbed, and even takes it as a provocation.
But Lu Lingjing had long been tamed by Lu Changsheng's candy bombs, and at this moment she even happily rubbed her face against his palm.
Three days later, in a side hall of the city lord's mansion.
Lu Changsheng and Bai Zhaozhao sat cross-legged facing each other.
"Please, True Lord." Bai Zhaozhao, dressed in a snow-white dress, with a single horn between her brows shining brightly, spoke.
This signaled to Lu Changsheng that he could begin.
"Ah."
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, flicked his sleeve, and a divination tortoise shell and copper coins appeared. He then used the karmic bond between himself and Qingluan Zhenjun to make calculations.
As before, without the feather as a medium, the Azure Phoenix True Lord's heavenly secrets were incredibly profound, shrouded in layers of mist, making them impossible to fathom.
As the power of heavenly secrets surged, Bai Zhaozhao immediately summoned her spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Evolution Diagram.
Furthermore, ancient coins, jade stones, and tokens appeared, swirling around her and forming a powerful force of destiny and divine secrets.
This power of destiny and fate is like a vast net of opportunity, intertwining and spreading with Lu Changsheng's destiny.
In an instant, the power of heavenly secrets gathered on Lu Changsheng surged, enabling him to manipulate even more destinies.
With the blessing and help of Bai Zhaozhao's destiny, Lu Changsheng finally broke through the layers of mist and saw splashing waves in the mysterious river of fate, from which he glimpsed a few blurry images.
"The Azure Phoenix True Monarch has not fallen into Luo Fuzi's hands. He is currently in the Eastern Region of the Southern Wilderness and may meet me in the near future."
At the same time, Bai Zhaozhao, who was intertwined with Lu Changsheng's destiny and helping him with divination and calculation, suddenly felt that her "Heavenly Evolution Technique" had a mysterious connection with the Yangming True Lord in front of her.
"This is."
Bai Zhaozhao felt this unseen connection.
In an instant, she was shocked, as if a huge storm had been raging in her heart.
An anomaly!
The True Lord Yangming before us is an anomaly!?
The cultivators of the Tianyan Sect can judge a cultivator's future potential through their unseen fortune.
They broadly categorized fortune into those with great fortune, children of fortune, and children of destiny.
However, above these levels, there is another type called an anomaly!
Such people possess immeasurable talent and limitless potential, making them a primary target of the Tianyan Sect.
At this moment, through the perception of the "Heavenly Evolution Technique", Bai Zhaozhao realized that the Yangming True Lord in front of her was an immeasurable and limitless anomaly!
"Is he the anomaly that the patriarch predicted?"
Bai Zhaozhao's main purpose in leaving the mountain was to search for the anomaly that the patriarch had gleaned through the [Tianyan Diagram].
I didn't expect to find it so quickly.
However, she immediately realized something was wrong.
According to the patriarch's calculations, this extraordinary individual either just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and possesses the potential to become a Deity.
Either break through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage and achieve the position of a Great True Monarch!
The Yangming Zhenjun before us does not fit into either of these two situations.
Bai Zhaozhao wanted to sense further and confirm.
However, Lu Changsheng possesses the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus, and the Lu family genealogy conceals the secrets of fate.
At this moment, she helped Lu Changsheng with divination, and the two of them, whose destinies were intertwined, gained a faint sense of connection.
There is simply no way to go any further.
Unless the two have a very deep karmic bond, the other party will allow her to sense it.
Lu Changsheng noticed a fluctuation in Bai Zhaozhao's aura and assumed that she had exhausted too much mental energy, so he stopped the operation of the Heavenly Mechanism.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Bai."
Looking at Bai Zhaozhao in front of him, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of passion in his heart.
As expected of the opponent, they come from the top divination sect in the Southern Wilderness, the Heavenly Evolution Sect!
The methods of divination are truly extraordinary.
With Bai Zhaozhao's help, he successfully deduced the situation of Qingluan Zhenjun.
The other party is not in danger and will likely return to the Northern Region to meet me soon.
However, he failed to glean any information about his daughter, Mu Que, from the long river of Qingluan Zhenjun's destiny.
This suggests that the daughter, Mu Que, is most likely not with Qingluan Zhenjun, and the mother and daughter have not reunited.
He was very puzzled.
How can a daughter enhance her Heavenly Phoenix bloodline during the Qi Refining stage if she has not met the Azure Phoenix True Lord?
How much of an opportunity does this require?
Lu Changsheng wanted to use Bai Zhaozhao to continue to deduce his daughter's condition.
"You're too kind, True Lord." Bai Zhaozhao opened her eyes, her pupils glowing with a pale golden light, still immersed in the shock she had just experienced.
Regardless of whether the Yangming Zhenjun before us is the extraordinary figure foreseen by the Patriarch.
However, given the strength they have demonstrated and their potential as an exception, it is worthwhile for me to spend time and effort to win them over.
Previously, she planned to continue searching for the chosen one, the extraordinary one foreseen by the ancestral master, after meeting the descendants of Bai Xi.
Now, she has new plans.
"I will rest for a few days before I make the calculations for the True Lord."
Bai Zhaozhao could tell that Lu Changsheng still had things to figure out, so she spoke up, wanting to establish a karmic relationship with him.
Seeing Bai Zhaozhao's initiative, Lu Changsheng was extremely pleased and took out several rare spiritual herbs from his storage ring.
"Please accept this small token of my appreciation, Fellow Daoist Bai."
Normally, getting a fourth-level diviner to come is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Since Bai Zhaozhao was so easy to talk to, Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn't be stingy.
"Thank you, True Lord." Bai Zhaozhao accepted the elixir without refusing, and then took her leave.
"Tsk, as expected of a righteous cultivator."
After Bai Zhaozhao left, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.
I think Bai Zhaozhao is indeed worthy of being from the righteous sect of the Central Region, the Tianyan Sect.
Such kind-hearted people who are always willing to help others are truly rare.
Even if he guessed that Bai Zhaozhao wanted to use this method to make him owe a favor, or to enhance their relationship and friendship, so that she would invite him to fight against the great calamity in the future.
But he does not reject this approach.
People have developed a more favorable impression of him, and even of the entire Tianyan Sect and the Central Region Profound Sect.
Knowing that True Monarch Qingluan was safe and might return to the Northern Region to meet him in the future, Lu Changsheng felt much more relaxed and happy.
He went to the Yunmeng Restaurant to make a deal with Xuanjian Zhenjun.
He traded Jin Feng Zhenjun's natal spiritual treasure and some unused fourth-tier spiritual materials to Xuan Jian Zhenjun.
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng's list of materials, Xuanjian Zhenjun was filled with amazement and envy.
The materials he traded alone far exceeded his personal wealth.
After acquiring the spiritual treasures from Golden Wind True Lord, Profound Sword True Lord exchanged several fourth-tier spiritual items with Lu Changsheng, then bowed and thanked him, feeling that this trip had not been in vain.
"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."
Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "Thank you, True Monarch Xuanjian, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and help."
After completing the transaction, the two chatted for a while before Xuanjian Zhenjun took his leave and departed from Da Meng Immortal City.
By obtaining the spiritual treasure of the Golden Wind True Lord, his natal flying sword can advance further, which will also help him break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Changsheng summoned his son, Lu Chensha, who had been cultivating in the Great Dream Immortal City, and asked him about his cultivation progress.
"Reporting to Father, my magical power has reached perfection, and I am preparing to cultivate the secret method of Core Formation."
Lu Chensha, dressed in a blue brocade robe, bowed respectfully and replied.
"Now that you have completed the Foundation Establishment stage, then form a contract with the Phantom Sable."
Lu Changsheng said that he was preparing to help his son form a contract with the illusory weasel that had already been almost tamed.
In this way, with the beast technique the other party cultivates, the time spent cultivating the Golden Core technique can be saved, and the probability and quality of Golden Core formation can be greatly increased.
"Thank you, Father," Lu Chensha replied, bowing respectfully.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng summoned Honglian and Xu Ruyin, and through the ancient beast-taming talisman, helped Lu Chensha contract with the illusory sable.
Over the past ten years, the Shadow Sable has not been completely tamed, but it has come to terms with reality.
He knew that he had no other choice but to acknowledge Lu Chensha as his master.
Under these circumstances, it did not strongly object to being contracted by Lu Chensha, and even felt that it was good to have a powerful backer.
Therefore, with the help of Lu Changsheng and Xu Ruyin, Lu Chensha easily completed the contract with the Phantom Sable.
"Boom!"
The instant he completed the contract with the Phantom Sable, Lu Chensha's entire body roared with magical power, his Heavenly Beast Dao Foundation shone with boundless light, and his cultivation technique operated on its own, seemingly heading towards the Core Formation stage.
Heavenly Dao Core Formation!
With the help of the "Beast Manual" and the foundation brought by the third-tier demon king, the Phantom Sable, Lu Chensha was able to save decades of arduous cultivation.
Magic power, blood and qi, physical body, and Dao foundation are all baptized and improved, and there may even be an opportunity to form a Heavenly Dao Core.
Xu Ruyin, standing next to her, couldn't help but feel envious.
Although she had the opportunity and the help of the Azure Phoenix True Lord's treasure vault, she successfully broke through to the Core Formation stage.
However, compared to his son Lu Chensha, a third-tier Foundation Establishment Contract Demon King, he was still a level below him.
Honglian smiled and gently raised her jade-like hand.
But then a golden stone the size of a human head flew in from afar.
It was the Spirit Source Stone that Lu Changsheng obtained after killing the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch in his early years.
According to Honglian's judgment, this Spirit Source Stone contains a rare and precious demon beast.
They waited until Lu Chensha reached the point of Core Formation before cutting him open.
If the monster is alive, you can take advantage of its weakness and tame it through a contract.
If a demon beast is dead, it will surely accumulate a rich spiritual energy.
It is of great help to cultivators like Lu Chensha who practice beast techniques.
Instead of cutting the Spirit Source Stone open with a single stroke, Honglian carefully peeled it apart using her magic.
