Chapter 2087: Chapter 690: The Heavenly Sword Sect’s Speculations, Ling Zixiao Attempts Core Formation! Jiang Country Cultivation Realm is merely a relatively remote nation in the Southern Wilderness Northern Domain; hardly worthy of such two top-level mysterious cultivators staying. "Azure Phoenix True Monarch should not return in the short term; I anticipate changes might occur in the Liangyue War, thus this person should be lured as much as possible." Xuanjian True Monarch slightly nodded, speaking softly with a calm and gentle voice, devoid of the sharp edge befitting a Sword Cultivator. "Azure Phoenix True Monarch..." Absolute Sword True Monarch paused upon hearing the name, looking at his senior brother. As a Nascent Soul True Lord of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he naturally knew quite a bit about Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s hidden information. For instance, Azure Phoenix True Monarch might have received a legacy related to the Phoenix... And such a legendary True Spirit like the Phoenix naturally has a myriad of rumors. The most famous among them is...Nirvana! "Nirvana..." Absolute Sword True Monarch thought of the postponement of the whale-hunting banquet at Great Dream Immortal City and instantly understood why his senior brother still suspected Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Master might be the same person. Between the two, they indeed share many coincidences. Yet, despite so many speculations, they dare not easily probe. The Great Dream City Lord, possessing Supreme Treasures, could easily annihilate a Fourth Rank Demon King; Yangming True Master, with Life Burning Explosion, could reverse-slay a Nascent Soul True Lord despite his Core Formation level. And then there’s Azure Phoenix True Monarch who, right under the noses of their Heavenly Sword Sect, managed to break through to Nascent Soul and seize the core opportunity in the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm]. Such prowess, no matter where placed, is enough to warrant attention and apprehension. But seeing his senior brother already closing his eyes, resembling a statue, and speaking no more, he also refrained from asking further and stood up to leave. ... The auction at Great Dream Immortal City is quite lively. Although it doesn’t feature rare elixirs like the Coagulation Crystal Elixir, numerous rare treasures appeared, including Third Rank Demon Pill and Core Formation Spiritual Objects. Among them, the Third Rank Demon Pill was auctioned by the ancestor of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, Changsheng True Master, sparking a lot of discussion. After all, the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, with one lineage of three Core Formations, also hosting a Third Rank Demon King, now auctions a Third Rank Demon Pill; is the family planning to cultivate another False Core Immortal? Many speculated whether Lu Changsheng would use the demon pill to cultivate among which wife or child, while others thought he might be accumulating family foundation. This Changsheng True Master, auctioning the Third Rank Demon Pill, is naturally Lu Changsheng’s Three Treasures Incarnation left in Great Dream Immortal City to divert attention. Meanwhile, the true body of Lu Changsheng was busy assisting Ling Zixiao in achieving Core Formation. The latter’s [Divine Fiend Diagram] did not require upgrading and reforging like his life-bound magic treasure, [Yin Yang Chart], so it was completed within half a month. Within the cave mansion, the two embraced closely, with the sun and moon rotating overhead, playing a beautiful and moving life symphony. Years earlier, when Lu Changsheng assisted Xiao Xiyue and Lu Miaoge, he was only at mid-stage or late-stage Core Formation. Now, his cultivation leveled up to Core Formation Peak, physique surpassing Fourth Rank, greatly enhancing the effect of the "Sun Moon Samsara Technique", pure and concentrated spiritual energy simmering and surging, pouring into Ling Zixiao’s body through her limbs and spine. "Boom boom boom!" Ling Zixiao’s Dragon Roar Physique awakened in a roar, forming a mystical balance with the co-cultivation magical treasure [Divine Fiend Diagram] above her head, embodying the principles of The Way of Yin and Yang. Subsequently, Lu Changsheng smoothly used the Yin Yang Creation Classic as a foundation, simulating the Twelve Capital Demon Divine Technique’s mana to assist Ling Zixiao in her Core Formation. .... At the same time. Starry Sky Sea, an island residence. On this day, within the cave mansion of the residence, a powerful wave of mana emerged, the invisible spiritual pressure, nature’s spiritual energy, akin to a Kunpeng roaring. "Core Formation Second Layer." Lu Quanzhen opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid energy, his deep and dark pupils resembling two black holes, captivating. He calmed the magic aura, flicked his hand, clearing the aftermath dust from breakthroughs before stepping out of the cave mansion. "Mr. Qu." The maid waiting outside saw Lu Quanzhen and immediately greeted respectfully. "Has anything happened lately?" Lu Quanzhen asked the maid. Three years ago, he fought and sustained serious injuries, needing a place for recuperation and conditioning. But Third Rank Spiritual Vein Dojos were either held by major powers, occupied by strong loose cultivators, or had Demon Kings entrenched. As for going to a major island to rent a cave mansion, he couldn’t conveniently do so due to his severe injuries at that time, thus he disguised as a False Core Cultivator and took a position as a tribute for a commercial power on the brink of bankruptcy. Here he found not only favorable conditions and flexibility but also enjoyed Spirit Land for healing cultivation and gained insights about the Starry Sky Sea through this commercial power. The downside was its weak Spirit Vein, unsuitable for long-term cultivation, and he had to bear the risk and crisis of commercial power bankruptcy leading to extinction. "Mr. Qu, please wait." The maid promptly walked away, then returned with an intelligence jade slip. "Kunpeng Nest?" Upon seeing the information on the jade slip, Lu Quanzhen’s eyes slightly narrowed. He had been in Starry Sky Sea for over a decade. Having heard of Kunpeng Nest naturally intrigued him. At first, he was quite excited, as he practiced the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique. But after carefully gathering and understanding Kunpeng Nest’s related intelligence, he realized something was amiss! The Starry Sky Sea occasionally presents Kunpeng Nest news, immediately leading him to surmise someone is deliberately spreading such information either to confuse and deceive or to lay traps. "Nonetheless, it might be worth a look..." Though the news was both true and false, most likely false. Yet he was never one for retreating into closed-door cultivation. Understanding his talents, if relying solely on isolated cultivation, he won’t achieve much. With his injuries recovered and cultivation advanced, now is the time to venture out and explore for opportunities. Even if Kunpeng Nest news turned out false, someone might fall into the bait, benefiting him in chaotic gains. Thereupon, Lu Quanzhen informed the maid he needed to meet the chairman. "Mr. Qu." The commercial power faced decline and near bankruptcy mainly because their Core Formation True Man fell outside, leaving only a handful of False Core Cultivators. Thus when Lu Quanzhen came to serve, he devised countermeasures, displaying his Golden Core level mana, declaring he could no longer serve as tribute, prematurely dissolving mutual agreements. Hearing this, the chairman was inwardly angered, preferring to extort some benefits. But sensing Lu Quanzhen’s faintly intimidating qi mechanism, bloodstained and fierce, he courteously said, "It’s truly our Spirit Sea Commercial’s honor to have such a venerable stay temporarily on Spirit Sea Island." "If the venerable desires, Spirit Sea Commercial willingly offers substantial tribute..." "No need; these Spirit Stones are deemed rental fees for the Spirit Vein over these three years." Lu Quanzhen tossed out a storage bag and transformed into a divine rainbow shooting away, toward the sea where Kunpeng Nest was rumored. The Spirit Sea chairman watched Lu Quanzhen leave, his expression shifting before ultimately sighing.
