If I were to leverage this Origin Essence, the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art could break through to the twelfth layer, reaching quasi-fourth rank, and I could directly charge towards fourth rank body refining.

"Should I cultivate first or go check on Ping'an's situation..."

Thinking of his son Lu Ping'an, Lu Changsheng paused slightly in his heart.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the beast tide, he would have already gone to Yue Country, Wu Country to find his son Lu Ping'an.

After all, the Nascent Soul possession and consecutive breakthroughs still left him somewhat worried.

But now, with the situation in the Immortal City so aggravated, he really wasn't at ease leaving.

Moreover, even with formations sealing it, the spirit energy from the corpse of the Void Kun would inevitably leak.

"System."

Lu Changsheng opened the system, looked at the interface of his son Lu Ping'an again, found no issue with his life span, thought for a moment, and decided to cultivate first, waiting for Hong Lian's injuries to heal.

With Hong Lian overseeing Great Dream Immortal City, there would be no problem unless a Nascent Soul True Lord intervened.

Besides, the matters of the Vast Sand Illusion Realm were currently in full swing, and it was very likely that the two True Lords from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and even the Azure Phoenix True Monarch, were not in Jiang Country and had headed to the Endless Wilderness to await the opening of the secret realm.

...

Lu Changsheng did not enter closed-door cultivation immediately.

First, he helped Lu Miaoge in nourishing her physical body and restoring her mana, then informed her and Ling Zixiao that he would enter closed-door cultivation for a period of time.

Both of them could fully take charge of any matters in the Immortal City, and notify him if there's anything important.

"Please rest assured, my Lord."

Ling Zixiao, her hair styled elegantly, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, smiled gracefully.

After explaining everything, Lu Changsheng went to the main hall in the backyard, his gaze falling on the body of the Void Kun before entering its massive form.

He moved through various blood vessels and organs, gazing at the heart which was still brimming with abundant vitality, and with a raised hand, he drew a cut.

"Poof!"

Scalding hot blood spurted out like a fountain.

Normally, cultivating the "Brahman Demon True Saint Technique" didn't require such demon path methods.

But to maximize efficiency, Lu Changsheng chose to cultivate directly beside the heart of the Void Kun's body.

"Boom!"

As the "Brahman Demon True Saint Technique" operated, countless dense golden Sanskrit characters and dark ink-like strange demon runes emerged on Lu Changsheng's physique.

The two waves of Qi Mechanism intertwined, as if a Buddha and Demon God resided permanently in his body, chanting scriptures in protection of his spirit, beginning the refinement of the Heavenly Demon Blood of the Void Kun.

At the same time, a phantom image of a three-headed, six-armed Buddha demon appeared, sometimes reciting majestic Buddhist chants, while continuously emitting tens of millions of devilish roars, eerie and terrifying, aiding Lu Changsheng in refining the Origin Essence of the Void Kun.

...

As Lu Changsheng began his closed-door cultivation, news about the Great Dream City Lord and his wife hunting a Fourth Rank Demon King spread throughout the Great Dream Marsh, extending to the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.

"What, hunting a Fourth Rank Demon King!?"

"The Immortal City has changed hands, and the new City Lord couple not only drove back the beast tide but also hunted a Fourth Rank Demon King and two Third Rank Late Stage Demon Kings!"

"Could it be that the Great Dream City Lord, like the Azure Phoenix True Monarch, is also a Nascent Soul True Lord?"

"So the golden divine light that illuminated the heavens and earth came from the City Lord!"

"It's terrifying! The heavens of Jiang Country are about to change!"

This news was so astonishing that the entire Great Dream Marsh was in an uproar, with countless people discussing it.

After all, news of hunting a Fourth Rank Demon King was earth-shattering!

The sensational news spread quickly, with various powerful factions dispatching people to station in Great Dream Immortal City, and the Four Great Immortal Sects sending the news back to their sects through secret treasures at the first opportunity.

"The Great Dream City Lord cultivates magical dual cultivation, possesses a quasi-fourth rank spiritual beast, and wields top-level supreme treasures, hunting the Fourth Rank Void Kun with the City Lord's wife!"

The sect leaders of the Four Great Immortal Sects were all left speechless and astounded upon receiving this news, their spirits greatly shaken.

Were it not for the urgency of the news and knowing their stationed elders would haven't fabricated it, they simply wouldn't dare to believe it.

Whether it was the strength of the Great Dream City Lord, the quasi-fourth rank spiritual beast, the fourth rank beast tide, top-level supreme treasures, or hunting a Fourth Rank Demon King, every piece of news was shockingly sensational!

"A turbulent season indeed, truly a turbulent season."

"Could it really be true, that saying, heroes emerge in chaotic times, and the cultivation world is about to experience great turmoil, ushering in a glorious splendor!"

"First an Azure Phoenix True Monarch, then a Yangming True Man, now a Great Dream City Lord, what is happening in Jiang Country!"

"So it's finally affecting Jiang Country?"

The sect leaders of Jiang Country's Four Great Immortal Sects were privy to numerous pieces of information daily.

They were aware that the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm had long since begun to roil with undercurrents, and Jiang Country had been relatively stable due to its advantageous geographical position.

But now, with one astonishing presence after another emerging, it signaled that Jiang Country could no longer remain peaceful.

"What is the background of these two City Lords of Great Dream Immortal City?"

Qingyun Sect Leader pondered as he looked at the jade slip information in his hand.

The information he held not only detailed the general aspects of the Great Dream City Lord couple hunting the Fourth Rank Demon King but also included information about Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge.

It suggested that both were present in Great Dream Immortal City, and their dual cultivation technique's divine skills seemed somewhat similar to the City Lord's magical treasures.

There was speculation that the relationship between Lu Changsheng and the City Lord couple was not so simple, and possibly had some origins.

"It seems there is some truth to this matter, which is precisely why, in the future, the Great Dream City Lord willing to leave, would transfer the Immortal City to Lu Changsheng, thus Lu Changsheng is so dedicated to serving the Immortal City."

Qingyun Sect Leader secretly speculated in his heart.

He had interacted with Lu Changsheng a few times and knew that the latter currently devoted most of his time and effort in Great Dream Immortal City.

The other party also expressed that when the Great Dream City Lord couple leaves Jiang Country in the future, he would be the first successor to the Immortal City.
