Chapter 2539: Chapter 829: Star King: Still a Double Standard? (Part 2)

This is quite normal.

Not to mention the Star King, even someone like her, the Moon Sovereign, couldn’t possibly choose to assist just upon hearing the name of the East Emperor’s heir; at the very least, there needs to be some observation and testing.

"Star King, what do you think?"

After a moment, the ghostly blue flame in the pupils of the Moon Sovereign’s eyes extinguished, and she spoke weakly.

Although the two had different opinions on the East Emperor’s heir,

as the Star King and Moon Sovereign of the Star Moon Palace, they had cultivated together for hundreds of years and still shared a deep friendship.

"This person can influence our destinies, indicating an extraordinary nature, very likely the heir of the East Emperor."

The Star King naturally understood why his fortune seemed more ominous than auspicious.

Not only was he unwilling to assist the heir of the East Emperor,

he even believed that the stars could overpower the great sun!

If this person was indeed the heir of the East Emperor and had not yet grown, he saw no reason not to replace them!

"Whether it is so or not, we must at least meet and see if he is worthy of our assistance."

"If he truly is the heir of the East Emperor, as the grandmaster’s teachings say, promising the hope of seeing the Sun, Moon, and Star Palace again, regardless of the hardship and danger ahead for me, I will not hesitate."

The Star King proclaimed with a stern expression, without revealing his true thoughts to the Moon Sovereign.

If the Moon Sovereign knew his true thoughts, she might intervene to stop him.

"Hmm."

The Moon Sovereign’s beautiful eyes were covered by light gauze, obscuring her expression, as she nodded impassively.

Soon after, the two bathed in the glorious light of the Astrology Hall, retrieved an Elixir Medicine from the Storage Ring, and consumed it to regulate their breaths.

The recent divination and calculation had exhausted them greatly.

They could not possibly meet with the Sea Suppressing Ancestor in such a state, making the latter wait instead.

...

Great Dream Immortal City.

City Lord Mansion.

Hong Lian was somewhat surprised to see Lu Changsheng returning hurriedly after just over a month at the Fu Hai Sect. "Husband, have you encountered something again?"

"The situation at Fu Hai Sect is unusual. It seems that the Heavenly Secrets may have been obscured and confused. I plan to make a trip to the Jin Kingdom..."

Lu Changsheng immediately shared his divination speculation and subsequent plans with Hong Lian.

Hong Lian only had a general understanding of divination and had never cultivated it.

Although she found it hard to believe that the Seven Sects of the Ocean could achieve such a feat, since her husband, a grandmaster of the Way of Divination, said so, she naturally couldn’t think otherwise.

Furthermore, breaking through in other places was more prudent.

"When do you plan to go, husband?" Hong Lian inquired.

"The sooner, the better; I’ll prepare quickly and head over."

Although the Sea Suppressing Ancestor hadn’t prepared fully to test and discern his true nature, he wouldn’t act rashly.

But with such matters, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t delay unnecessarily.

"Alright, husband, be careful. I’ll be here in the Immortal City."

Hong Lian spoke softly, "The Heavenly Sword Sect has already replied; if you wish to borrow the Secret Treasure from there, it’s best to speak directly with Absolute Sword True Monarch..."

"Hmm."

Lu Changsheng nodded, then gazed tenderly and warmly at the flawless, divine face before him.

As the saying goes, solitary yin cannot grow, solitary yang cannot survive.

Having been busy for so long, he hadn’t engaged in dual cultivation with his wife for quite some time.

Now, it was natural to harmonize yin and yang!

Facing Lu Changsheng’s gaze, Hong Lian’s beautiful eyes became deeply affectionate, and she looked back at him with lingering emotion.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng embraced the beauty before him, swiftly moving to their Cave Mansion.

Instantly, a spring-like atmosphere filled the Cave Mansion.

...

Several days later, Lu Changsheng arose from his gentle abode, refreshed and invigorated.

If not for the myriad of trifles entangling him, he would be quite willing to remain immersed in this gentle abode perpetually.

"No, man imitates the earth, the earth imitates the heavens, the heavens imitate the Dao, and the Dao follows nature. One yin and one yang constitute the Dao; this is the comprehension of the universal Great Dao, the Yin Yang Great Dao!"

Lu Changsheng immediately dismissed thoughts of indulging in softness.

He was cultivating the "Yin Yang Creation Scripture," focusing on the Yin Yang Great Dao—what was wrong with frequently understanding the Way of Yin and Yang?

Moreover, solitary yin cannot grow, solitary yang cannot survive. How could one defy the natural order of the heavens and earth?

For a moment, Lu Changsheng seemed to achieve an understanding.

"Quanzhen, come see me."

Lu Changsheng directed his voice to his son, Lu Quanzhen, who was cultivating in the side hall, preparing to take him along to the Jin Kingdom.

For one thing, his son Lu Quanzhen was quite a capable combatant.

Additionally, it was time to settle the grudge between the Ghost Demon True Master and his son.

It wasn’t long before Lu Quanzhen arrived and bowed to Lu Changsheng respectfully, "Quanzhen greets father."

"Quanzhen, I’m planning a trip to the Jin Kingdom, and you will accompany me."

Lu Changsheng examined his son, aware that his cultivation realm was already stable, and he had even mastered the entry-level of the "True Spirit Nine Transformations."

"Jin Kingdom."

Lu Quanzhen paused upon hearing this, his long eyes slightly narrowed.

In his early years in the Jin Kingdom, he had encountered many events.

At that time, if not for his father arriving to rescue him, he might have perished at the hands of the Heaven-shaking Demon or the Ghost Demon True Master.

Even then, his survival came at a great cost borne by his father, who helped him prolong his life and stabilize his condition. Through cultivating the "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique," he was able to break through Core Formation and solve the danger of insufficient lifespan.

Lu Quanzhen had never been one to easily forgive and forget.

This enmity was always etched in his heart.

If not for his father’s orders to guard the Immortal City, he would have gone to the Jin Kingdom long ago to settle this enmity.

"Father, is there anything I should prepare?"

Lu Quanzhen roughly guessed his father’s intentions for going to the Jin Kingdom.

"That depends on you. This time, besides handling some matters, I also plan to resolve the Yiming Ghost Sect. At that time, you can settle the past grievances with the Ghost Demon True Master."

Lu Changsheng smiled softly, his face as handsome as an immortal.

"Thank you, father."

Lu Quanzhen’s poised face showed a slight smile, but his long eyes were like willow leaf flying daggers, sharp and penetrating.

In addition to his son Lu Quanzhen, Lu Changsheng planned to take his wife Meng Xiaochan, and his son Lu Minghuang along as well.
