Chapter 2071: Chapter 685: Fame Shakes the Southern Wilderness, Quasi-Spiritual Treasure! A woman with a five-colored mask on her face and clad in a colorful dress filled with ethereal immortal grace looked at the message jade slip in her hand, her autumnal eyes showing a trace of genuine interest. "Perhaps as my parents said, the Southern Wilderness is about to usher in an unprecedented major upheaval in ten thousand years. While this period is full of darkness and bloodshed, it is also possible to welcome a star-studded prosperity and glory?" Although the woman’s appearance was obscured by the mask, and her posture was lazy and casual with legs crossed, her unparalleled beauty was still unmistakable, giving her an indescribable elegance and charm. Especially, her right foot as delicate as jade was adorned with a dream-like stiletto, half-hanging from her toes, gently swaying, brimming with allure, making one want to hold and caress it, yet exuding a sense of noble elegance. .... Jiang Country, Great Dream Immortal City. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 "Yangming True Master burned life to assist Azure Phoenix True Monarch, the two joined forces to behead Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, Purple Grey True Monarch..." At the City Lord Mansion, Ling Zixiao, with her elegant and dignified beautiful face, was full of astonishment while looking at the intelligence information concerning the Vast Sand Illusion Realm. As one of Lu Changsheng’s closest wives, she naturally knew that Yangming True Master was her own husband. She was also aware that Lu Changsheng went out to find Lu Ping’an, entered the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, and encountered danger in the secret realm, then aided Azure Phoenix True Monarch. Yet, when Lu Changsheng spoke of these events to her, he merely glossed over the details. Upon seeing the intelligence information now, there was a sudden feeling of surrealism, as if dreaming. Afterall, within the intelligence, Yangming True Master was described to have burned life force in an explosive struggle against seven Nascent Soul True Lords alongside Azure Phoenix True Monarch. Ultimately, the two were severely injured, fleeing into the Great Void, while of the seven Nascent Soul True Lords, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch from Beast God Mountain had his magic body beheaded, Nascent Soul escaping, and Purple Grey True Monarch from Purple Grey Sect had even his Nascent Soul Spirit Body exterminated, consumed by Yangming True Master’s spiritual pet, Peng bird... Yet her own husband returned completely unscathed, recounting the secret realm events lightly, as though nothing had happened. And the Peng bird that consumed the Nascent Soul Spirit Body of Purple Grey True Monarch, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, now lay asleep in the backyard of the City Lord Mansion, occasionally guiding Lu Baixi in cultivation... Ling Zixiao looked at the jade slip in her hand, then towards the direction of Bi Lake Mountain, deeply perceiving a rift between reality and rumors. If it weren’t for Lu Changsheng’s absence from Great Dream Immortal City, she would want to confirm her husband’s condition, asking what truly transpired. "Hmph, certainly risked life aiding Azure Phoenix True Monarch in such events, intentionally glossing over..." Ling Zixiao understood her husband’s character well, knowing Lu Changsheng’s fondness for romance, unable to resist flirtations once outside. Yet upon returning home, facing her and the others, he carried a hint of guilt. After considering for a moment, she decided to visit Hong Lian, inquiring if had observed anything about her husband’s physical condition, whether he had been holding up previously. "Rest assured, husband is not injured, and indeed gained opportunities to elevate during the journey..." Hong Lian possessed a Nascent Soul Spirit, Spirit Embryo Physique, and during dual cultivation with Lu Changsheng, could clearly sense his mana and physical state. Though Lu Changsheng did not elaborate on the events in the secret realm, she could guess with accuracy. "Alright." Ling Zixiao felt relieved upon hearing this, vaguely guessing about her husband’s situation with Azure Phoenix True Monarch. Thinking of the future legendary figure of Jiang Country, the foremost loose cultivator soon to visit Bi Lake Mountain, her elegant face could not help but reveal a trace of peculiarity. Secretly pondering, if those legendary Nascent Soul female cultivators she read about in books might also be brought home by her husband... As soon as this thought arose, scenes started emerging in Ling Zixiao’s mind. Yet realizing she was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage, an inevitable sense of urgency arose within her. ... "Yangming True Master..." Seated in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Chu Qingyi also received the intelligence information concerning the Vast Sand Illusion Realm. Upon seeing Yangming True Master and Azure Phoenix True Monarch battling against seven Nascent Soul cultivators and beheading two, she couldn’t help but tightly purse her red lips. Images of the two in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the affairs of the Yiming Ghost Sect in Liang Country flashed in her mind. At that time, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level was the same as hers, at Core Formation Second and Third Levels. Due to her shattered Core Formation, rebuilding Core Formation, breaking and standing anew, re-cultivating her realm, thirty-six years have passed, and only reached the Fifth Layer of Core Formation. Yet this speed was already considered remarkably swift! However, Lu Changsheng... had unknowingly grown to the point of beheading Nascent Souls. Even Chu Qingyi, acclaimed as a natural talent since childhood, felt an unprecedented pressure. She feared she would be left far behind by him... "How is he now..." Looking at the intelligence describing Yangming True Master severely injured from the life-risking confrontation, her heart filled with worry, wanting to visit. But suddenly thought, where to find him? Bi Lake Mountain... Or perhaps Great Dream Immortal City? Under what pretense... Chu Qingyi, with cold and heroic charm on her brow, tightly frowned, her eyes full of worry, her fair jade-like hand gripping her skirt tightly, in stark contrast to her usual cold and aloof Sword Immortal Child demeanor. ... With the situation of the Vast Sand Illusion Realm fully exposed, dark currents surged throughout the Southern Wilderness Northern Territory. In the cultivation world of Liang Country, the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s magic body from Beast God Mountain was beheaded, only Nascent Soul Spirit Body remaining, Yun Mei True Monarch from Barebody Sect not only severely injured within the secret realm, but later nearly slain by Xuanjian True Monarch of Jiang Country’s Heavenly Sword Sect. If not for the Nine Spirits True Monarch, Great Elder of Beast God Mountain, arriving early for support, both Yun Mei True Monarch and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies might have been slain by Xuanjian True Monarch. Nonetheless, Liang Country was still deemed as severely damaged in primordial energy, Yue Country immediately declared war, seeking to seize back territory taken by Liang in earlier times.
