Chapter 2089: Chapter 691: Jade-faced Demon, Shen Baishuang! However, most cultivators are not very interested in serious news and rumors, but are rather intrigued by some trivial gossip. For instance, there’s the rumor about the Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, who is renowned far and wide, and her discord with her husband, Lin Yuanting... "Half a year ago, a crucial shipment of my Sword Casting Manor was ambushed, and it involved someone from your Xu Xuan Island. Thus, I have come to seek an explanation!" Shen Baishuang’s face was cold, standing high in the sky, like a red-clad empress looking down on the ants below, exuding an aura of majesty. "Don’t say this matter has nothing to do with me. Even if it does, coming to Xu Xuan Island with such arrogance, do you really think my Xu Xuan Island is easy to bully!" Although Xu Xuan Island’s strength is far inferior to Penglai Island, a Nascent Soul should not be insulted! He, Xu Xuanzhi, at least is a senior Nascent Soul cultivator of the Starry Sky Sea, an elder. "In that case, let’s see some real skills!" Shen Baishuang snorted coldly, her pale jade hand lifted, endless red radiance spread out, bombarding Xu Xuan Island, causing many structures outside the island’s formation to ’boom boom boom’ and shatter. "Not good!" "It’s over, the two Nascent Soul cultivators are really going to fight?" "Xu Xuan Island is protected by a Fourth Rank Grand Array, Shen Palace Master cannot break through, but with her means of eradicating entire families and households, won’t she slaughter all of us on the island?" Many cultivators on the island saw this scene, their expressions were grave, fearful, frightened, and terrified. "Shen Baishuang, do you think that just because of your sister, I’m afraid to act against you!" In the depths of Xu Xuan Island, an elder enveloped in a deep blue glow appeared, his entire being exuded a surging Nascent Soul suppression, gazing at Shen Baishuang. However, the red-clad beautiful woman took another step forward, as the two clashed in the Nascent Soul Realm, their imposing aura caused the island to tremble, and the sea within dozens of miles boiled and roared, forming whirlwinds. "Is this the power of the Nascent Soul?" At this moment, let alone the many loose cultivators on the island, even Lu Quanzhen felt a cold chill in his heart, not daring to breathe heavily. After all, in such situations, they could only wait for the battle to subside on the island. Without the protection of the formation, this kind of Nascent Soul power and Qi mechanism could directly wipe out most of the cultivators on the island. "Boom boom boom!" Under the Fourth Rank Grand Array of Xu Xuan Island, the elder’s presence surpassed that of the Second Palace Master of the Goddess Palace. But as the Second Palace Master’s pale jade hand lightly lifted, an ancient sword with golden patterns flowing with red light appeared, slicing forward, seemingly with a phoenix bird flying out. Apart from this ancient sword, an azure ancient mirror resembling a bright moon appeared above the Second Palace Master’s head, contending with Xu Xuanzhi. "Could this sword be the [Phoenix Seeking Phoenix] of Sword Casting Manor, which was used as a betrothal gift in the marriage of Yuanwei True Monarch and Shen Palace Master in early years?" "I heard that Shen Palace Master had just recently become a Nascent Soul, yet she could match old Nascent Souls, relying on the several Spiritual Treasures from Sword Casting Manor..." "That’s right, look at her magical robe, bracelet, and this ancient mirror, all are Spiritual Treasures..." "Ah, having a good sister and a good husband is indeed a blessing..." Although Sword Casting Manor is renowned for sword forging, it’s not only skilled in sword forging. The old Manor Master was a famous Fourth Rank Artifact Refining Master in the Starry Sky Sea, producing several top-quality Spiritual Treasures that were remembered by name. "Boom boom boom!" The terrifying Nascent Soul power continuously clashed and collided, space twisted and shattered, unstoppable shockwaves destroyed everything in their path. Xu Xuan Island continuously trembled, the formation flickered on and off, and tsunamis surged from all directions, sweeping over the entire area. With several Spiritual Treasures by her side, Shen Baishuang faced the old Nascent Soul Xu Xuanzhi without being at a disadvantage, even slightly gaining the upper hand despite him controlling the Fourth Rank Grand Array. However, in front of the Fourth-tier Forbidden Array, Shen Palace Master was also powerless and could not break through. Additionally, Nascent Soul cultivators controlling multiple Spiritual Treasures consume significantly, making it impossible to sustain continuous bursts. Indeed, after a quarter-hour, Shen Baishuang, having gained the advantage, coldly said, "Xu Xuanzhi, today serves as a warning to you, old ghost! If I find out again that your Xu Xuan Island is secretly involved with those other forces, it won’t just be me coming next time!" As her words fell, she swung the [Phoenix Seeking Phoenix] forward, breaking through the Great Void. With a light step in her red embroidered shoes, her figure gracefully departed, leaving behind a trail of dazzling red radiance. "Phew!" Seeing Shen Baishuang leave, the cultivators of Xu Xuan Island all breathed a sigh of relief, really afraid the two would keep fighting. If they fought with True Fire, provoking the full force of the Goddess Palace and Sword Casting Manor, at that time, Xu Xuan Island might actually be sunk. "Truly impressive." "So forceful!" Someone gazed in the direction where Shen Baishuang departed, unable to suppress images in their mind of her breathtakingly mature and enchanting figure beneath her red dress. Though her face wasn’t visible and her allure was limited, it still sparked endless imagination. "No wonder the old Manor Master of Sword Casting Manor planned this marriage for Yuanwei True Monarch back in the day. It’s rumored that Yuanwei True Monarch has mediocre talent and disposition, completely relying on the full support from the old Manor Master to successfully become Nascent Soul; he couldn’t possibly uphold the foundation alone." "Having a good father really is wonderful, not only cultivating someone to Nascent Soul but also helping marry such a wife." "Alas, if I had a good father, I wouldn’t be lingering at Foundation Establishment for over a hundred years now." "This Second Palace Master is too domineering; ordinary people can’t control her at all. It’s rumored that Yuanwei True Monarch and the Second Palace Master have an incompatible marriage, precisely because the Second Palace Master is too overbearing and can’t stand his servile nature..." "How could Yuanwei True Monarch, a Nascent Soul cultivator, possibly be servile?" "Actually, I’ve heard Yuanwei True Monarch secretly loves the Great Palace Master of Goddess Palace and initially wanted to marry her. This was known to the Second Palace Master, leading to the marital discord." "Why did I hear that Yuanwei True Monarch actually likes the Third Palace Master Shen Yiren? After all, the Third Palace Master not only matches her sisters in appearance and figure but is also approachable, compassionate, and benevolent...." "If only I could marry the Third Palace Master, I could stride across Starry Sky Sea freely!" As the crisis of Xu Xuan Island was resolved, the cultivators in the city also set aside their worries and began to chat about gossip. On Penglai Island, the three Palace Masters of Goddess Palace were regarded as Fairies and Goddesses in many hearts, filled with countless true and false tales, now naturally becoming a topic of interest. "Penglai Island, Goddess Palace..." Lu Quanzhen walked in the city, listening to the gossip, shaking his head gently. Indeed, the situation here in Starry Sky Sea was different from Jiang Country. With many Nascent Soul cultivators around, even Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators could learn some news about Nascent Soul True Lords. If it were Jiang Country, ordinary cultivators would know nothing but the names of Nascent Soul True Lords. But all these conversations probably don’t contain a single grain of truth. After all, whose intelligence network could really know the family affairs of Nascent Soul True Lords? Even so, Lu Quanzhen, whose father was sentimental everywhere, could not help but wonder if his father knew any of the Palace Masters from Goddess Palace, when he’d always meet a mysterious aunt whenever he went home. ... Bi Lake Mountain, Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, Changsheng Hall. Lu Changsheng was helping Ling Zixiao condense her Golden Core. Suddenly, he felt a surge of pure and abundant mana flowing into his Qi Ocean Core, speculating that it might be his son Lu Quanzhen or his daughter Nangong Yaoyao breaking through cultivation. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦 After all, it’s been some time since both of them attained Core Formation. [Name: Lu Quanzhen] [Life Span: 95/341] [Talent: Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, Kunpeng Demon Body (Upper Class Spirit Body)] [Cultivation Level: Core Formation Second Layer] [Talent: Combat Law Compatibility (81%)] "It seems to be Quanzhen..." With a thought, Lu Changsheng summoned the system panel of his son Lu Quanzhen. Seeing his son’s life span steady, he was quite relieved and planned, once he was done here and the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale breakthrough, to visit Starry Sky Sea. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, with Lu Quanzhen’s current strength, it would be rather difficult to cross Great Dream Marsh and return. "Considering the time, I’ve been walking the Immortal Path for almost a century now." Lu Changsheng, looking at his son’s age, suddenly recalled that in a few months, it’d be a century since he awakened memories atop Qingyun Sect’s Heart Inquiry Platform. Reflecting on nearly a century of progress, from once being confused and helpless, eliminated by the Immortal Sects, a youth choosing to become a son-in-law, to unconsciously becoming a Mountain Master, City Lord, Lu Changsheng felt quite emotional. He didn’t dwell on it much longer, turning his attention back to Ling Zixiao, focusing on her Core Formation progress. Originally, Lu Changsheng used the "Yin Yang Creation Classic" to simulate the "Twelve Capital Demon Divine Technique," assisting Ling Zixiao in her Core Formation. But with the "Sun Moon Samsara Technique" and the Co-Cultivation Magical Treasure, providing a winning start, Ling Zixiao foresaw more challenging stages like Nascent Soul and even Divinity Transformation. If she had him assist through the Core Formation, how could she keep up with his pace in the future? She opted to pursue it on her own, honing herself and grasping its profundities. Lu Changsheng naturally respected this decision, allowing Ling Zixiao to proceed independently.
