Then, a simple formation was set up to nourish the Kunpeng Egg through the Spirit Vein of the City Lord Mansion, assisting Lu Quanzhen in the Demon Fetus Transformation.

Qian Zhuyan watched Lu Changsheng leave intimately with Hong Lian and Ling Zixiao, the soul fire in his eyes burning faintly, and he immediately went to his Puppet Hall to start researching the puppetry technique in his mind.

…

It is said that a small separation is like a new marriage.

Lu Changsheng’s journey lasted over a decade, far beyond a small separation, so the three of them were together unexpectedly.

This was also Lu Changsheng indulging Ling Zixiao’s little quirks.

He knew she always had some thoughts about Hong Lian, the goddess-like figure of her master’s son.

Wanting to see the emotional look under his lash…

Thus, the sun rose and set, seven days and seven nights passed.

Even though Ling Zixiao and Hong Lian were both Nascent Soul Cultivators, they were not a match for Lu Changsheng.

Under his continuously abundant energy, Ling Zixiao directly fell into a sleepy exhaustion.

Though Hong Lian was not Lu Changsheng’s match, her Spirit Embryo Physique and Core Formation Ninth Layer cultivation level could still endure, her face glowing peach-red and radiant after Lu Changsheng’s nurturing.

“Hong Lian, how long will it be until you can attempt to reach Nascent Soul?”

Afterward, Lu Changsheng held Hong Lian’s perfect jade body that was plump if increased, slim if reduced, sensing her cultivation level was not far from Core Formation Peak.

And she, possessing the Spirit Embryo Physique, faced no bottleneck in reaching Nascent Soul.

“Another three to five years, I can attempt, but it’s best to prepare a little more time,”

Hong Lian said softly, her disheveled black hair alluring.

Leveraging the foundation of the Spirit Embryo Physique, she could directly reach Nascent Soul, but wanted to lay a solid groundwork as much as possible.

“Alright, there’s no need to rush,”

Lu Changsheng nodded, thinking about the Infant Transformation Elixir and Heavenly Infant Fruit from the Starry Sky Sea.

Planning to help his son Lu Quanzhen seek vengeance after reaching Nascent Soul himself, and to get Hong Lian an Infant Transformation Elixir.

Then he asked her opinion on the current situation in Jiang Country and how best to approach it.

Meanwhile,

A resplendent ray like a meteor fell outside Qingyun Sect.

Yun Wanshang gazed at the misty, familiar Qingyun Sect ahead, her beautiful eyes filled with unstoppable waves of emotion.

Reflecting carefully, she had been away from the sect for over fifty years.

Even for a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a lifespan of five hundred years, fifty years was a long era, occupying one-tenth of their life.

Moreover, truly living to five hundred years old naturally was rare among Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Ninety percent of Nascent Soul Cultivators suffer lifespan reduction from combat, hidden injuries, and Life Burning Secret Techniques among others.

But compared to the Nascent Soul breakthrough, spending fifty years of journey was quite brief.

In Qingyun Sect’s history over thousands of years, many Nascent Soul Cultivators wandered in search of Nascent Soul opportunities, some wasting centuries, others never returning, their soul lamps extinguished.

Only by thinking of her Nascent Soul, almost solely owed to Lu Changsheng, did Yun Wanshang sigh lightly in her heart.

Such favor, how should she repay?

Even though they’re Dao companions, she can’t quietly enjoy all this.

After all, accepting complacently would leave her forever lacking courage before Lu Changsheng, unable to lift her head.

Yun Wanshang had cultivated for over two hundred years, relying step by step on herself, unwilling to become a woman dependent on others.

If not, she possessed the Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body and could easily rely on a Nascent Soul male cultivator, even a descendant at Nascent Soul level.

Yet now, returning to Qingyun Sect, her biggest dilemma was how to face her disciple Xiao Xiyue.

Could she say, Master tried, and your Dao companion is not bad.

Actually, I was first and with Lu Changsheng long together than you.

Her mind entangled with chaotic thoughts, she sighed again, knowing she had to face it eventually.

Moreover, during the Demonic Tribulation, she already confronted it once…

She stepped gracefully, her figure elegant, appearing at Qingyun Sect’s mountain gate.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the palace dress floated without wind, fluttering dramatically.

A surge of Nascent Soul True Lord’s suppression Qi mechanism roared out, like a boundless sea, spreading towards Qingyun Sect.

She was unlike Lu Changsheng.

Now that she has broken through to the Nascent Soul, of course, she will openly and confidently display it.

Through Qingyun Sect, announce it to all of Jiang Country’s Cultivation Realm!

She, Yun Wanshang, Caiyun True Monarch!

With Yun Wanshang’s Nascent Soul pressure spreading, the entire Qingyun Sect was stunned.

All Foundation Establishment Cultivators, False Core Immortals, and Nascent Soul Immortals, whether busy with affairs or in closed-door cultivation, all felt a sense of shock and looked towards the mountain gate.

“Is this… Nascent Soul pressure!?”

“Did a Nascent Soul True Lord come to our Qingyun Sect?”

“Which True Lord is present?”

“Why does this magic power mechanism feel somewhat familiar?”

The False Core Cultivators and Nascent Soul Immortals of Qingyun Sect instantly realized it was Nascent Soul pressure and were visibly surprised and panicked.

After all, a Nascent Soul True Lord suddenly appearing at their mountain gate and releasing pressure is truly terrifying.

But the next moment, a clear, dignified female voice spread throughout Qingyun Sect.

“Caiyun Peak, Yun Wanshang, has broken through the Nascent Soul outside, ascended to True Lord, and returns to the sect today.”

The voice wasn’t loud, yet it reverberated clearly within Qingyun Sect.

“Caiyun Peak, Yun Wanshang?”

“Is Junior Sister Caiyun really breaking through to the Nascent Soul!?”

“Nascent Soul, Yun Wanshang broke through to Nascent Soul!?”

“Master broke through to Nascent Soul!?”

The entire Qingyun Sect was shocked.

It was completely unexpected that this Nascent Soul True Lord was actually one of their own from Qingyun Sect, the Caiyun Peak Master who had been traveling.

At this moment, all disciples of Qingyun Sect were filled with joy, shock, envy, and respect as they bowed respectfully towards the mountain gate: “Congratulations to Caiyun True Monarch! Welcome back to the sect, Caiyun True Monarch! Greetings to Caiyun True Monarch!”

The Qingyun Sect Leader, along with several Nascent Soul Cultivators guarding the sect, some Foundation Establishment Elders, hurried towards the mountain gate.

“Welcome back to the sect, Caiyun True Monarch!”

The Qingyun Sect Leader looked at the dazzling beauty veiled in colorful mist, seemingly enveloped by brilliant celestial light. The old face immediately revealed excitement, hands trembling uncontrollably, then he descended several layers and bowed respectfully towards Yun Wanshang.

Even though he is the Qingyun Sect Leader, and Yun Wanshang’s former senior brother, seeing her now, he must respectfully call her Caiyun True Monarch.

“Congratulations to Master for breaking through to Nascent Soul and ascending to True Lord!”

“Welcome back to the sect, Caiyun True Monarch!”

Xiao Xiyue and several Nascent Soul Immortals stepped forward and bowed in congratulation.

Other False Core Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators could not look directly at Yun Wanshang shrouded in radiant mist, and could only bow reverently, some even worshiping.

“Phew!”

Among the crowd, an elderly woman in a green robe, with greying temples, looked at Yun Wanshang like a dreamscape, eyes reddened by her Nascent Soul radiance, body trembling violently, then suddenly vomited blood and fainted.

“Sister Song!” Someone wanted to help, but remembering the past grievances between the woman in green and Yun Wanshang, dared not approach.

Yun Wanshang looked at the woman in green.

She knew the woman was narrow-minded and envied her from early on. Now seeing her break through to Nascent Soul, it suddenly overwhelmed her with rage.

But having become a Nascent Soul True Lord, with a lifespan of a thousand years, while the woman had limited life remaining, and being the Dao companion of Senior Brother Chi Yang Immortal, she chose not to hold grudges. Looking at the Qingyun Sect Leader ahead, she lightly raised her hand and said:

“Sect Leader Senior Brother, no need for excessive courtesy.”

Then she looked at Guanghan Fairy, clad in a moon-white dress, with a serene and sacred appearance, and nodded slightly: “Xi Yue.”

“Master.”

Xiao Xiyue immediately stepped forward several paces, arriving before her master, bowing with hands clasped, drawing the attention of other cultivators.

Years ago, three from Caiyun Peak achieved Core Formation, already shocking the world.

Now, Caiyun True Immortal, who had been away for years, returns to the sect, breaking through to Nascent Soul and ascending to True Lord. The future of Qingyun Sect will be completely dominated by Caiyun Lineage.

And since Nascent Soul True Lords mostly abstain from trivial matters, the sect’s authority will fall upon either Xi Yue True Immortal or Qing Yi True Immortal, far away on the frontlines of Yue Country.

No matter what, the identity of a True Lord disciple is enough to elevate the status of Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi by a level anywhere!

“Return to the sect.”

Yun Wanshang said nothing else, only letting her disciple stand by her side, then entered the mountain gate alongside the Qingyun Sect Leader and others.

Suddenly, the entire Qingyun Sect was filled with mountainous waves of congratulations, all celebrating Caiyun True Monarch.

From now on, Qingyun Sect will no longer be a Core Formation level power, but… a Nascent Soul Sect!
