Chapter 1844: Chapter 616: Sword Embryo Effects, Nine Underworld Mastiff Charges into Tier 3! (Part 3) "But why is the lifespan only three hundred and twenty? Foundation Establishment breakthrough to Core Formation should grant a lifespan of five hundred." "For those with a Superior Grade Gold Core, their lifespan should be a bit longer than usual, by ten to twenty years." Looking at his son’s lifespan, Lu Changsheng frowned slightly. This increase in lifespan is far below normal levels. "Is it due to previous life-burning potential, or is it a problem with the cultivation technique?" Lu Changsheng pondered quietly. Although he resolved the physical issues of Lu Quanzhen, the lost lifespan cannot be recovered. Breaking through to Core Formation in this state would certainly have some impact. Then there’s the matter of the cultivation technique. A cultivator’s lifespan is always influenced by their cultivation technique. Those who cultivate Wood and Water System Nourishing Life Techniques undoubtedly have much longer lives. Whereas those who cultivate Metal, Fire, Thunder System Combat Supremacy Techniques tend to have relatively shorter lives. Lu Quanzhen’s "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique" is undoubtedly exceedingly domineering, its abilities and divine skills, Kunpeng Demon Body, unrestrained in devouring and plundering, turning myriad life origins into their own. Such a process naturally comes with a price. "It’s reasonable to say that lifespans from this demonic technique aren’t high." "Besides, two hundred and forty years are sufficient." Lu Changsheng believed that with his son Lu Quanzhen’s temperament and talent, he should achieve Core Formation Peak at around two hundred years old. By then, with some assistance from his old father, reaching Nascent Soul shouldn’t be an issue. However, thinking about Lu Quanzhen’s early years playing with life-burning techniques, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. If he continues playing around like this, no extra lifespan would be enough for him. "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes." Lu Changsheng decided not to worry further. If he worried about everything, how could he manage it all? ... Considering Lu Quanzhen’s breakthrough to Core Formation and the need to stabilize his realm and practice Divine Ability Techniques, Lu Changsheng didn’t rush back home to visit him, continuing his own cultivation in Great Dream Immortal City, refining divine arts and the Innate Sword Embryo. In this way, time swiftly passed by half a year. Lu Changsheng completed the refinement of the Innate Sword Embryo, establishing a close connection between them. "This sword embryo possesses a trace of Sword Dao Origin, containing various sword intents, saying it encompasses all aspects isn’t an exaggeration." "Since that’s the case, let’s call it ’Great Luo’, meaning vast and boundless, encompassing all things!" Lu Changsheng looked at the ancient and plain Innate Sword Embryo in his hand, pondering slightly, and gave it a name. During this period, he continuously refined the sword embryo day and night, gaining many insights into the Sword Dao. If before, he felt he needed to settle for a hundred years or even hundreds of years to hope to catch up with Xuanjian True Monarch’s level of Sword Dao, but if he carries the Great Luo Sword Embryo at all times, it might take just a hundred years. Of course, he hadn’t deeply interacted with Xuanjian True Monarch and wasn’t clear about the other’s specific Sword Dao skill nor interested in knowing. Still, these Sword Dao understandings could be discussed with Chu Qingyi later. Or perhaps someday he encounters a female cultivator possessing an Upper Class Sword Dao Spiritual Body, Lu Changsheng could elaborate on his true understanding of the Sword Dao, discussing for seven days and nights. "Ah, this is the foundation, it must be accumulated and refined bit by bit with time," Lu Changsheng sighed, placing the Great Luo Sword Embryo into a simply crafted sword box, retrieving the Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt, and then spent time daily with his wife, concubines, and children. After all, cultivation is cultivation, but accompanying his wife and concubines and teaching his children mustn’t be neglected. "Bang Bang Bang——" Lu Changsheng reached the martial arts field in the backyard of the City Lord Mansion, where he could see two graceful young girls engaging in close combat. One wore a red martial skirt, her ponytail swaying, her fists with a flowing pure golden Buddha Light, her punches powerful and wide. Another dressed in a white martial skirt, only eleven or twelve years old, yet like a humanoid demon beast cub, matched the red-clad girl perfectly, her fists flowing with a wholly immaculate platinum light. Not far away, a captivating woman with a pure yet enchanting appearance, dressed in a white Immortal skirt, watched alongside a golden Peng bird. Since Lu Changsheng had limited time and energy and his daughters were grown up, always staying at home wasn’t good, so he let the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng teach them. While the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng didn’t understand the combat techniques of the human race, their Heavenly Peng clan’s combat skills are ingrained in their bloodline. Like its legacy technique, "Heavenly Demon Slaughtering Saint Art", is a top-level deadly technique. Thus, Lu Changsheng had it teach only combat methods and not cultivation techniques, leaving his daughters to spar and practice regularly. It’s undeniable that the two sisters, one pretty and cute with heroic energy, and the other as if a perfect masterpiece sculpted by the heavens, yet like two demon beasts, punching the air with explosive force, creating a stark contrast. Anyone witnessing these two cute and beautiful little girls wouldn’t think they are Foundation Establishment cultivators, possessing Second Rank physiques. "Brother!" "Father! Father!" Bai Ling saw Lu Changsheng arrive and joyfully called out. The sisters, who were sparring, also stopped. Lu Linghe was slightly out of breath, her entire being lively and adorable. Lu Baixi meanwhile stood poised like someone in a painting, indescribably beautiful and captivating, pure and elegant, giving no hint she was just sparring with Lu Linghe. "Xiao He, Xiao Xi." Compared to Lu Linghe, daughter Lu Baixi wasn’t as enthusiastic, possessing a serene and quiet disposition. But perhaps due to their complementary personalities, the sisters have a very friendly relationship. Then at daughter Lu Linghe’s suggestion, the two daughters advanced towards their father. Although Lu Changsheng had never practiced this physical technique or close combat, as a Nascent Soul cultivator with Fire Golden Eye, his children’s movements appeared as slow as snails to him, thus moments later, Lu Changsheng received his daughters’ admiring gaze and subsequently guided and taught them.
