Chapter 1685: Chapter 567: What, Lu Ancestor Has Formed a Core!? All Clans Are Shocked! (Part 3) Yu Fei said with some shame, thinking that the Lu Ancestor had a new love and forgot about the two sisters. "No wonder this person’s physique and strength are so great; indeed, he has hidden his cultivation level..." Yan Lan thought to herself about the several beds broken with Lu Changsheng, murmuring in her heart. Immediately, the two sisters discussed and decided to have Yu Fei take the three children to Bi Lake Mountain to present gifts. Although they wanted to keep the children by their side, now that their father had become a Nascent Soul Immortal, they naturally should spend more time with him! ... Besides the family forces friendly with the Lu Family, those hostile to the Lu Family also received the news immediately. For example, Golden Dragon Ridge, the Jin Family. "What, Lu Changsheng from Bi Lake Mountain broke through to Core Formation!?" "How is this possible? With a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, breaking through Foundation Establishment is already heaven’s favor. Even with great fortune, breaking through Core Formation should be impossible!" The Patriarch of the Jin Family and many elders couldn’t believe it when they heard the news. Core Formation, what a solemn and sacred term! At Golden Dragon Ridge, they have worked hard for nearly a thousand years for the family to have a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Yet to this day, they are still a False Core Family. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞 And the Lu Family of Bi Lake Mountain is just a nouveau riche family. The Old Ancestor Lu Changsheng is not even a hundred years old; how could he break through to Core Formation! "So much time has passed; Great Dream Immortal City should have sent news. Immediately send someone to confirm!" The Patriarch of the Jin Family said in a deep voice, but his hands couldn’t stop trembling. The fact that the Lu Family dared to spread such news likely means it’s true. Thinking about the Lu Family’s rise to become a Core Formation Noble Family filled his heart with despair. After all, the Jin Family’s enmity with the Lu Family has deepened, making reconciliation difficult. With Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to Core Formation granting him a lifespan of five hundred years, how could Golden Dragon Ridge ever outshine them again? "Patriarch, however the Lu Family is, they wouldn’t dare falsify such matters; it seems to be true. We should inform the Old Ancestor." Although some were obstinate, refusing to face reality, others chose to face it. "Wait...wait until we receive definite information, then tell the Old Ancestor..." The Patriarch of the Jin Family said lowly. The death of the previous generation’s Old Ancestor profoundly affected the current Old Ancestor, Jin Zan. This caused him to continue his closed-door cultivation indefinitely, practicing Divine Skills and Magical Treasures with no progress in cultivation level. Therefore, in recent years, unless there were significant events or routine reports, they hardly disturbed this Old Ancestor in his secluded cultivation. Logically, such monumental news should definitely be communicated to the family’s Old Ancestor. But they all knew that their Old Ancestor had been defeated twice by the hands of Lu Changsheng and his wife, which had already caused a Heart Demon. Previously, hearing that Lu Ping’an defeated Shangguan Jiuyang of the Shendao Shangguan Family made him pale and unsteady. If he now hears about Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to Core Formation, his Dao Heart might be damaged, and he could spit blood. So they didn’t dare to stimulate their family’s Old Ancestor. They feared that although Jin Zan had a lifespan of over three hundred, he might only live around two hundred years in the end. ... Apart from the family forces around Bi Lake Mountain, this news also reached Qingyun Sect at the first instance. Although the senior members of Qingyun Sect had already received the relevant information. The news was only held within a few high-ranking members and was not spread around. "Lu Ancestor from Bi Lake Mountain breaks through Core Formation, and under our Qingyun Domain, another Core Formation Noble Family emerges!?" "Wasn’t this Lu Ancestor dismissed by our Qingyun Sect early on due to his Lower Grade Spiritual Root? How could he break through Core Formation?" "Hiss, there was a scandal between this Lu Ancestor and Fairy Xi Yue in our sect in the early years. Fairy Xi Yue just recently achieved Core Formation, but now Lu Ancestor also breaks through!?" "It must be fake, right? Breaking through Core Formation isn’t so easy!" The outer sect disciples and Energy Refining Cultivators of Qingyun Sect might have only heard of Bi Lake Mountain or the name Lu Changsheng. But some Foundation Establishment Executors and older generation disciples still remembered Lu Changsheng well. Not only did he become a Dao Companion with Zhao Qingqing, but there were rumors with the famous Fairy Xi Yue of Qingyun Sect, and he once served as an Honored Guest at Caiyun Peak. So this news sparked significant discussion in Qingyun Sect, especially at Caiyun Peak. "What, Bi Lake Mountain, Lu Changsheng breaks through Core Formation!?" At this moment, at Red Sun Peak, a man in a crimson brocade robe heard the news, looking as if he had seen a ghost, his face aghast. His name was Song Cheng, a disciple of True Man Chi Yang. In the early years, to resolve the feud between the Lu Family and the Sima Family, he had even gone to Bi Lake Mountain as a mediator. The result was an unhappy parting, and he even said harsh words to Lu Changsheng. Now hearing of Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough, his heart shivered. After all, he had failed in the last attempt for the Coagulation Crystal Elixir. Unless he had great fortune, he had little hope to achieve Core Formation, only able to choose a False Core. But if Lu Changsheng bore a grudge, even if he broke through to False Core, his future would be bleak. "How is it possible, for him, just a clan cultivator, to break through Core Formation? This must be a rumor!" Song Cheng murmured, unwilling to believe it. After all, he was a true inheritor of Qingyun Sect, a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal, yet he had no hope for the True Elixir. Lu Changsheng, just a clan cultivator, with a world of difference in status and reputation, how could he break through Core Formation and become a Nascent Soul Immortal! "Core Formation, how is this possible....." Sima Qiuhua, upon hearing the news, was visibly shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief. Although she held no grudge against Lu Changsheng, her family, the Sima Family of Xuanwu Ridge, had irreconcilable enmity with the Lu Family. Though in preparation for the pioneering war, families could not engage in conflicts, having a Nascent Soul Immortal on the opposing side made it exponentially harder for the Sima Family to produce a Nascent Soul Cultivator in the future! ..... On Red Sun Peak, midway up the mountain, in a courtyard. "Brother Lu, congratulations, congratulations indeed!" A man hurriedly arrived, congratulating the owner of the courtyard. "Brother Li, what congratulations are there?" Lu Yunlou’s expression remained unchanged, asking indifferently. He had no friendship with the man before him, barely any contact, and had even been slighted by him in the early years. The man’s sudden arrival with congratulations felt like the fox offering New Year’s greetings to the chickens. "Congratulations to your esteemed father for achieving the Great Dao of Core Formation!" Brother Li said with nothing but politeness. Though Lu Yunlou was a disciple of Qingyun Sect, his talent was average, only having some aptitude in Artifact Refining, and was generally disregarded by him. But now, with Lu Yunlou’s father breaking through to Core Formation, it was a different matter. "What!? My father broke through to Core Formation!?" Even though Lu Yunlou had broken through Core Formation, he spent most of his time at Qingyun Sect and knew little about family secrets. Hearing the news, he, like any ordinary cultivator, was in a daze, astonished, and couldn’t believe it. "Brother Lu, here’s a token from Brother Li. My earlier conduct was inappropriate, not my true intention. Please overlook it." Brother Li presented a Storage Bag, speaking in a low voice. Implying he wasn’t truly trying to trouble him before and attributing it to Brother Song Cheng, he hoped Lu Yunlou wouldn’t hold a grudge. Lu Yunlou, though isolated by nature, wasn’t entirely naive to the ways of the world, realizing this was in deference to his father. Now that his father had broken through Core Formation, becoming a True Man, naturally, they didn’t want to fall out with him over Song Cheng. "Brother Li, you’re too kind." He softened his tone slightly, accepted the Storage Bag, and then immediately went to gather more information. Once he confirmed the truth, he went to the Sect’s Refining Equipment Mountain, thinking to forge a few Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts to celebrate. Although his family surely didn’t lack such artifacts, his father’s breakthrough to Core Formation and the hosting of a grand ceremony were significant events. As a son, he must show his appreciation.
