Chapter 2049: Chapter 678: Gains from the Reckoning! (Part 2) Lu Changsheng said sheepishly, knowing that his actions were a bit too risky. "Hmph, I knew it." Ling Zixiao snorted coquettishly, knowing her husband would certainly be entertaining other women outside. However, Azure Phoenix True Monarch, such a Nascent Soul Cultivator, would not be easy to deal with. "Husband, it’s fine to help Azure Phoenix True Monarch, but you should be cautious when you’re out. Otherwise, Miaoge, Yun’er, and I will worry about you." She knew Lu Changsheng had a soft heart and tenderly expressed a bit of temper. "I understand. I won’t do it again." Lu Changsheng held his wife’s delicate hand, his heart softened, and said, "Zixiao, how are the preparations for the whale hunting banquet?" "Everything has been arranged long ago, just waiting for you to give the nod." For such a big matter, she would naturally arrange everything properly. "In that case, let’s set it for... a year later." Previously, Lu Changsheng would have immediately sent out invitations. But considering the matters of the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm], with Azure Phoenix True Monarch and Mingyang True Man, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s attitude might change, so he must enhance his strength as much as possible. During this time, he will rebuild and upgrade his Life-bound Magic Treasure [Yin Yang Chart] and break through to Fourth Rank Body Refining as soon as possible. This way, he would have more confidence facing the Heavenly Sword Sect’s tests. "A year later? Isn’t that a bit long?" Ling Zixiao inquired. Because of the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm], this banquet had already been prepared for more than a year, and now waiting another year was really dragging it out. "My body refinement has reached the Extreme Realm and can break through to Fourth Rank Body Refining at any time. Considering that the Heavenly Sword Sect might test when the time comes, I plan to first break through to Fourth Rank Body Refining." Lu Changsheng also knew it was dragging, and people might even speculate whether he was wounded in the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm] and was delaying time. But no matter what, the longer the delay, the more advantageous it is for him. "Fourth Rank Body Refining!?" Ling Zixiao was surprised, not expecting her husband was about to break through the Fourth Rank in body refinement. One must know, in the current environment, body cultivation is not favorable, and the further one goes, the more difficult it becomes, relying mostly on resource accumulation. The difficulty of breaking through Fourth Rank Body Refining is even more than forming a Nascent Soul. But thinking about her husband’s situation, she was instantly relieved. After all, Lu Changsheng had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, and his Fourth Rank Body Refining could already kill Nascent Soul cultivators. If he breaks through Nascent Soul and reaches Fourth Rank Body Refining... "Husband, you can rest assured in breaking through, and I will take care of all these matters." Ling Zixiao said immediately with pleasure. "Alright." After chatting with his wife, Lu Changsheng did not rush to meet with Hong Lian, Nangong Mili, Meng Xiaochan, and others but quietly left the Immortal City and arrived at the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer. The Great Luo Sword Embryo appeared in his hand, his Qi and Blood Mana roared, and he suddenly slashed forward. "Puchi!" The splendid sword light instantly cut through a pitch-black void crack, and endless chaotic currents swept out. "Buzz!" The Michen Banner appeared, emitting five-colored brilliance, enveloping Lu Changsheng, who then took a step and entered the Great Void. "Still somewhat strenuous." Lu Changsheng felt the chaotic currents of heavenly winds from all directions and pondered. He knew he still needed to break through to the Nascent Soul or condense a realm to travel in the Great Void for a short time. His palm gently lifted, retrieving the Storage Space and Storage Bag from the Tianyuan Lotus, which belonged to the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and the purple-robed elder. "Buzz!" The Taiyi Divine Soul struck out, eroding the prohibitions on the Storage Ring and Storage Magical Treasure. "Hmm? The Heavenly Silkworm hasn’t died?" Lu Changsheng sensed the more stubborn Storage Ring of the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, his brows furrowing, guessing that the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch was still alive. At that time, Xuanjian True Monarch went after the Heavenly Silkworm and Yun Mei, and Lu Changsheng thought they would be killed by Xuanjian True Monarch. "This person’s Magic Body is shattered, burning his Nascent Soul Origin, so it would take decades to recover. Even if he reincarnates and repairs, his strength recovery is nothing to fear." Lu Changsheng knew that Nascent Soul cultivators, when reincarnating to repair, would have a significant decline in strength, unless they seize a top-level opportunity, much like the Heavenly Fiend True Monarch. With the current strength exhibited by Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, if it drops another level, it would be utterly insignificant. Besides, reincarnation also requires a process, at least decades, by which time he would have even less to worry about. "Buzz!" A moment later, the prohibitive light dissipated, and Lu Changsheng inserted his Divine Sense into it. Immediately, he saw many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Supreme Spirit Stones, and top-level magical treasures. He did not look further, immediately finding all the token credentials, Communication Talismans, and so on, letting them all be swept away by the chaotic void currents. This was the simplest and most direct method for Nascent Soul cultivators to clean up the spoil of war. By throwing them into the Great Void, others couldn’t find a trace or information. "Supreme Spirit Stone, Third Rank Puppet, Third Rank Top Level Spiritual Wood, Thousand-Year Bellstone Milk, Gray Flame Fruit..." Lu Changsheng looked at the Storage Ring of the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and couldn’t help but shake his head. Compared to Lou Mountain True Monarch, the wealth of Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch was clearly a notch lower. Especially since this person’s Nascent Soul left the body, he also took away his Life-bound Spiritual Treasure [Heavenly Silkworm Robe]. Otherwise, even if this Spiritual Treasure was damaged, it would be enough to recast into a top-level Magical Robe or even a Fake Spiritual Treasure robe. "Hmm, this is... Fuling Flower? Truly, when you’ve worn out so many pairs of iron shoes, it suddenly appears." At this moment, Lu Changsheng opened a Brocade Box, seeing a pristine snow-white flower with layered petals, delicate and soft, like a lotus lily, exuding a faint, fresh fragrance. This flower can serve as one of the main materials for the [Seven Orifice Spirit Awakening Pill] and is also one of the main materials for the [Heaven-replenishing Elixir]. Lu Changsheng lacked one herb for concocting the Heaven-replenishing Elixir, which was this Fuling Flower.
