Chapter 2073: Chapter 686 Lu Changsheng had just returned to Great Dream Immortal City to inquire about the whale-hunting banquet affairs at Ling Zixiao Immortal City. Upon seeing him, the latter’s beautiful eyes glistened with waves, brimming with admiration and said, "Isn’t this Yangming True Master?" "I’ve heard of True Master’s grand display in Vast Sand Illusion Realm, fighting against seven Nascent Soul True Lords alongside Azure Phoenix True Monarch, killing two and making a name in the Southern Wilderness, truly admirable for a woman like me." Ling Zixiao, dressed in a blue palace dress with her hair elegantly styled in a bun, was poised and graceful, yet spoke like a maiden in love. "...." Lu Changsheng didn’t need to think to know that Ling Zixiao must have received the intelligence report on the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm]. He stepped forward and held his wife’s delicate and soft white hand, speaking righteously, "Oh? Since that’s the case, this True Master will tell you about the battle against the seven Nascent Souls..." As he spoke, he scooped up his wife’s full, white legs from beneath her blue and white dress and, amidst her surprised cry, took big strides to carry her into the Cave Mansion. A moment later, the atmosphere was filled with spring warmth. After the event! "At the time, Azure Phoenix True Monarch helped me, while Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Ming Sha True Monarch were my foes, so when I saw them attacking Azure Phoenix True Monarch, I chose to assist." "Additionally, the reason I risked my life to help was because I had taken a top-grade pill after entering the Secret Realm, which could be activated when severely wounded, leading to a Nirvana Transformation..." Lu Changsheng, holding his wife who was limp and weak, spoke tenderly. "A Nirvana Transformation through severe injury, is there really such a pill in this world?" Though Ling Zixiao was quite displeased with her husband risking his life for another woman, she wasn’t the type to obsess over a single issue. "Yes, this pill is called the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill..." Lu Changsheng smiled as he said, not minding telling his wife about these things to broaden her knowledge. "By the way, Zi Xiao, how have things been in the Immortal City these days? Any major events in the Cultivation World aside from the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm]?" After discussing the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, Lu Changsheng inquired. "Apart from the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, the biggest event is the continued war between Yue Country and Liang Country..." Ling Zixiao, nestled in Lu Changsheng’s embrace with a rosy flush on her cheeks, spoke softly. "Liang Country and Yue Country..." Lu Changsheng had guessed before that once the Vast Sand Illusion Realm ended, the war between the two countries would resume. Especially since he had destroyed Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s magic body, severely damaging Liang Country’s Primordial Energy. "By the way, has Yun Mei True Monarch of the Barebody Sect been slain by Xuanjian True Monarch?" Lu Changsheng suddenly asked. "Probably not, as the intelligence report on the Vast Sand Illusion Realm didn’t mention it. I’ll keep an eye on it later." Although Great Dream Immortal City had gathered intelligence on the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, it was all learned through various channels, not firsthand information. Moreover, the fall of a Nascent Soul True Lord is something outsiders rarely learn about unless deliberately pushed by a select few forces. "Hmm." Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and continued to inquire about the whale-hunting banquet. "Invitations have been sent out, and the Heavenly Sword Sect has made no moves, indicating they will attend on time." "However, with such a major incident occurring in the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm], now that Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s whereabouts are unknown, and the war between Liang Country and Yue Country continues, the Heavenly Sword Sect is likely planning significant actions next." "In the eyes of the Heavenly Sword Sect, our Great Dream Immortal City is probably considered an unstable factor." Ling Zixiao spoke with a hint of worry in her eyes. Although her husband had killed many Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, she knew it wasn’t easily achieved and at great cost. Moreover, as a native cultivator from Jiang Country, she couldn’t help but hold a certain respect for the Heavenly Sword Sect, the overlord of Jiang Country. "It’s okay, I am preparing to go deep into the Great Dream Marsh to attempt a Fourth Rank Body Refining breakthrough. Once achieved, I will have no fear of the Heavenly Sword Sect." "In a few years, Big Black can also attempt a Fourth Rank breakthrough, then this area of the Great Dream Marsh will be safe and sound." Lu Changsheng smiled as he embraced his wife’s full and graceful figure. He wasn’t currently a match for Xuanjian True Monarch. But once he breaks through to Fourth Rank Body Refining, and thoroughly cultivates the ’Brahman Demon True Saint Technique’, he would be confident in facing a challenge. And once the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, which has advanced to a True Spirit Bloodline, breaks through to Fourth Rank, even Xuanjian True Monarch may not be its match in the Great Dream Marsh! "Will breaking through to Fourth Rank Body Refining be dangerous?" Ling Zixiao immediately expressed her concern. Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment Peak, she knew well that breaking through Fourth Rank Body Refining was extremely difficult, possibly even attracting a Heavenly Tribulation. "Heh, when have I ever attempted anything I wasn’t confident about?" Seeing the worry and care in his wife’s eyes, Lu Changsheng laughed as he said this. "I’m just worried that you’re forcing a breakthrough to deal with the Heavenly Sword Sect, my Lord." Ling Zixiao softly reprimanded. Though she had great faith in Lu Changsheng. However, Lu Changsheng’s speed of growth and breakthrough was so rapid that even she, as his wife, sometimes felt it was like a dream. In less than a hundred years, he had grown from an initial stage Foundation Establishment cultivator at their meeting to the level of killing a Nascent Soul True Lord and attempting a Fourth Rank Body Refining breakthrough. If this were to be spread, it would be astonishingly extraordinary and shock the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm! "Rest assured, with the effects of the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill, my foundation is stable and formidable, not just in Body Refinement, but I could even attempt a direct breakthrough to Nascent Soul if I wished." "However, the Nascent Soul aspect is not quite ready, lacking the right time and place. If I forcibly attempt a breakthrough, it might at most reach the level of a Human Nascent Soul." Lu Changsheng smiled at his wife. Possessing a Perfect Foundation Base and a Great Dao Golden Core, with proper preparation, he had a fair chance of breaking through to Nascent Soul, even without a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein. However, lacking the blessing and purification of timely opportunities, Earth Veins Qi, and Heavenly Dao Qi meant he was yet to reach the pinnacle of a Heavenly Nascent Soul. "Mmm~" On hearing this, Ling Zixiao relaxed, knowing that her husband could not be measured by ordinary standards.
