Chapter 2107: Chapter 697: Farewell, Ayoudo! "Screech!" At this moment, deep within Ji Shaoyi’s Sea of Consciousness, a Golden Crow Divine Bird cried out, bringing him to a partial state of clarity, realizing something was amiss. Even though the Divine Skills of the Immortal Lotus Sect are unpredictable and mysterious, they couldn’t possibly disturb his Soul Consciousness in such a short time. The other party deliberately confused his Mental Spirit through his junior sister, causing him to sink deeper and deeper. "Burning Heaven! Burning Sun! Burn the Self!" Ji Shaoyi immediately roared, activating a secret technique, making himself appear like a great sun rising, attempting to incinerate his own body. This is the top-level secret technique of the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect, which can ignite oneself, unleashing unprecedented power. A successful cultivation of this technique can even turn a crisis into an opportunity for rebirth! "How vigilant indeed." However, Nangong Yaoyao had already prepared, activating a Third Rank Middle Grade Talisman. At the same time, several people who had previously besieged the red-haired woman stepped forward, forming a formation and casting divine skills to envelop and suppress Ji Shaoyi. "The mortal world is like a prison, all beings are bitter, reincarnation never ends, worries never cease, pity the people, Immortal Lotus descends from heaven, freeing them from the sea of suffering, eternally enjoy bliss, Lotus Holy Mother, return to the true homeland..." In the world, petals fell, and heavenly music resembling chanting continued to resonate. Faintly glowing pink-white petals can be seen continuously drifting into Ji Shaoyi’s body. "Damn it." Ji Shaoyi gritted his teeth, knowing that his divine skills and methods were completely seen through by the opponent. He exerted the Golden Crow Transformation Technique to the extreme, with a body burning in pure gold flames, which seemed to meld into a great sun, unleashing a fierce storm, trying to break through the void. But at this moment, his junior sister, whose face was pale as paper, blocked his way, casting a secret treasure to disturb his divine skills. "Ah!!!" Ji Shaoyi’s eyes nearly burst, angrily roaring, full of unwillingness. In a head-on confrontation, he feared no one in front of him. Even facing two opponents, he could retreat safely. But the means of Nangong Yaoyao were truly frustrating. Under the siege of several people, he struggled to continue, with the pure gold flames on his body gradually dimming, covered in blood, with skin and flesh torn, his mental spirit increasingly affected, drowsy. Nangong Yaoyao, ethereal as a fairy, continuously cast spells, attempting to transform Ji Shaoyi in front of her. Though the Immortal Lotus Pure Land of the Immortal Lotus Sect is terrifyingly famed, transforming someone is not simple. Or rather, to completely transform a cultivator of the same level is very difficult and cannot be accomplished in a short time. If not for her needing to deal with the upcoming sect trials, she wouldn’t have risked such a great danger to set up a scheme to transform Ji Shaoyi. After all, in the time to come, not only would she be unable to use the Immortal Lotus Pure Land again, but she also needed to fully stabilize Ji Shaoyi and would likely be placed on the must-kill list by the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect. Moreover, upon returning to the sect, her two senior sisters would be wary of her. ... "Ping’an..." After returning to Bi Lake Mountain with Nangong Mili and Lu Wangshu, Lu Changsheng gave part of the Void Kun’s flesh and bones to Lu Ping’an. He signaled him to use the blood essence of the Void Kun as a foundation to brew several cauldrons of medicinal baths for the Lu Family disciples. He could also use the blood essence of the Void Kun for his own cultivation. "Yes, father." Lu Ping’an nodded in response. "By the way, I plan to hold a Core Formation ceremony for you at home later, what do you think?" Lu Changsheng continued. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 Previously considering the family’s excessive limelight, he planned to delay his son’s Core Formation celebration. But the influence caused by the Great Dream Immortal City had elevated his status as Deputy City Lord, to the point where even the Qingyun Sect’s attitude changed towards him. In such a situation, Lu Changsheng felt there was no need to hide Lu Ping’an’s Core Formation matter any longer. With Lu Ping’an staying home for a long time, sooner or later, he would meet people and handle family matters, so it might as well be done openly. Moreover, after being separated from Qin Yi for so many years, now that he’s back, after the ceremony, he should make a trip to the Heavenly Sword Sect to finalize the marriage. However, the son of Changsheng True Master wanting to marry a true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect might prove slightly challenging. But a hundred-year-old Core Formation prodigy from the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family would surely be welcomed by the Heavenly Sword Sect. "Ah... I’m fine with anything?" Lu Ping’an was not very concerned about these superficial honors. "In that case, I’ll have your Aunt Miaoyun prepare in advance; when I come back, it should be ready to hold. Then you’ll head to the Heavenly Sword Sect to meet Xiao Qin and her master." Lu Changsheng said out loud, feeling like he was worrying himself sick. Not only does he have to manage matters with his wives, but he also has to worry about his children’s marriages. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Lu Yun, Lu Qingsong, were quite less troublesome. "Uh..." Lu Ping’an had previously planned to make a trip to the Heavenly Sword Sect, but was delayed due to family matters. Unexpectedly, his father directly suggested he go to the Heavenly Sword Sect to meet Qin Yi’s master. This... He was a bit caught off guard. "Forget it, later your Aunt Miaoge and Wangshu are going to Jiuxiao Immortal City; you can go with them, and later I’ll tell Aunt Miaoge to accompany you to pay respects to the Heavenly Sword Sect." Lu Changsheng looked at his hesitant son and shook his head, saying directly. As for Bi Lake Mountain. Now that Ling Zixiao had reached Core Formation, with the Nine Netherhound, Thousand Faces Puppet Fox, and the Third Rank Puppets obtained from the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, unless a Nascent Soul True Lord attacked, there was no need for Lu Ping’an to stay and guard. "Alright, things are settled this way." Seeing that Lu Ping’an wanted to say something else, Lu Changsheng simply waved his hand and said. "Oh, and bring Xiao He and Little Qi with you for a change of scenery." Lu Changsheng still cared much for his daughters. Since he had no time to take them out himself, it was up to Lu Ping’an to do it instead.
