Chapter 195: Mid-stage Grandmaster! The Power of Four Dragons!
Time flows like water.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
On this day, at dawn, inside a magnificent great hall.
Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, diligently contemplating the Killing Divine Heart.
With every breath, a massive amount of spiritual Qi from the outside world surged toward him.
Throughout these days, besides using the imperial court's resources for cultivation, he spent his time conducting final sweeps within the small world.
Relying on these resources, he had once again accumulated a large number of Source Energy Points.
Every few days, he would also exchange insights with Shan Zhenhai.
The friendship between the three of them was growing day by day.
At the same time, regarding Lu Changsheng's "slacking off" behavior, Zhou Chuanmao had completely given up on guiding him.
He left Lu Changsheng to cultivate on his own.
Of course, there was no need to think about rankings; he was guaranteed to be in last place every time, and his cultivation resources were significantly reduced.
The other God Children became increasingly distant from Lu Changsheng.
After all, a God Child with no value was not worth their time to associate with.
"Hoo..."
Lu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam piercing the void.
He opened the panel.
Source Energy Points: 5,250,000.
After several months of collection, he had finally gathered enough points again.
Looking at the now-lit 【Star True Body】, he did not hesitate and immediately clicked on it.
As the Source Energy Points decreased by five million, a mysterious fluctuation descended deep into his mind, as if a supreme powerhouse were preaching to him.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
It was as if the sounds of the Great Dao were echoing in his ears.
The Qi within his body circulated frantically, like roaring rivers and seas.
Lu Changsheng's entire body began to radiate a brilliant golden light, appearing extremely miraculous.
【After years of bitter cultivation, you have finally brought the Star True Body to minor accomplishment.】
With a crisp prompt sound, the upgrade officially concluded.
A hint of joy appeared in Lu Changsheng's eyes.
He clenched his fist tightly, and a surge of powerful strength welled up in his heart, as if he could shatter the void before him.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
The essence Qi above his head roared violently.
As it surged wildly, it transformed into four massive flying dragons circling his body.
An incomparably powerful aura permeated the entire area.
"The power of four dragons?"
Lu Changsheng's eyes brightened; after this breakthrough, his strength had increased by about twofold, finally reaching the power of four dragons.
If he were to activate the divine ability 【Size as Desired】, he could increase it even further.
At full burst, it would likely approach the power of six dragons.
Compared to the God Child Jinyang and his companion who were hunting him, Lu Changsheng was now even stronger.
Of course, if he could upgrade his divine ability again, his strength would grow even more.
For ordinary Grandmaster powerhouses, breaking through a single level usually takes at least ten years, or even several decades.
I am afraid those Holy Land powerhouses would never imagine that he could break through so quickly.
"Next time I meet God Child Jinyang, I will definitely give him a small surprise."
Lu Changsheng's gaze flickered.
This Holy Land God Child was already on his must-kill list.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Just then, a series of knocks on the door interrupted Lu Changsheng's thoughts.
"Come in."
Lu Changsheng said softly.
A man with a slightly honest face slowly walked in.
It was none other than Shan Zhenhai.
The man had a large black wine gourd hanging from his waist, and his face was full of smiles.
Over the past few months, because their personalities were compatible and they both loved spiritual wine, their friendship had deepened.
This man would also come to find Lu Changsheng for a drink from time to time, passing much of their leisure time.
"Sigh... Lu, you are truly carefree, without any worries about rankings."
Shan Zhenhai joked with a smile, then walked to a stool and sat down with a thud.
"Haha... Brother Zhenhai can be like me and just cultivate one path."
Lu Changsheng smiled and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Waves of warmth rose from his abdomen, making him feel very comfortable.
"I wouldn't dare to anger Master Zhou."
Shan Zhenhai's eyes were full of envy.
He could not learn Lu Changsheng's carefree attitude.
After all, for every rank one advanced, the spiritual resources increased significantly.
He did not dare to "slack off."
Although cultivating the Five Elements path together was extremely difficult, he would never give up.
"Brother Zhenhai, you didn't come to find me just to drink today, did you?"
Lu Changsheng smiled.
Shan Zhenhai was not in a hurry; instead, he picked up his wine cup and took a sip.
Only then did he say with a deep look in his eyes: "Brother Lu, do you know about the Huntian Realm?"
"Oh? What is special about this realm?"
A hint of confusion appeared in Lu Changsheng's eyes.
Although he had read many classics, he did not know as much as these veteran God Children.
The world where these humans lived was called the Lingxu Realm, which was also a small thousand world.
Around the Lingxu Realm, there were many different dimensions and small worlds that existed by relying on the Lingxu Realm.
The Huntian Realm was one of them.
It belonged to a small world that Grandmaster powerhouses could enter.
"Did you not receive information from the outside world?"
Shan Zhenhai looked surprised.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng did not seem to know, he explained:
"I heard that those Holy Land sect disciples are preparing with all their might; I fear it is for the trip to the Huntian Realm three months from now."
As he spoke, his expression became somewhat solemn.
Lu Changsheng's eyes moved slightly: "Will those human powerhouses containing demon power not enter?"
He had been cultivating bitterly here these days and rarely had contact with the outside world.
He did not know as much as the other party.
"This realm has existed since the ancient Dragon Court and has been managed by humans for a long time; it is even suppressed by the shadows of the Nine Cauldrons."
"Any martial artist containing demon power will be extremely suppressed upon entering."
"Therefore, the major Holy Lands and the imperial court will only send top God Children to enter and harvest the resources, treasures, and divine abilities inside."
Shan Zhenhai's tone was very low.
It was as if he were recounting the glory of the ancient Dragon Court.
By their generation, after reaching the Grandmaster perfection, they could only inject demon power to survive; how sad.
In the past, Great Grandmaster powerhouses and even Martial Saints could appear frequently.
If it weren't for the ancient legacies in these small worlds, I fear even the inheritance of divine abilities would have been cut off.
Lu Changsheng felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this.
The Pangolin was about to hollow out the small world, which barely allowed him to advance to the mid-stage Grandmaster.
At this moment, he also needed a large amount of resources to transform his divine abilities, and his enemies, God Child Jinyang and others, would definitely enter as well.
He was also preparing to take a trip to the Huntian Realm; a world left behind by the ancient Dragon Court would definitely have many spiritual items.
"God Children from all the Holy Lands of the Great Zhou will enter, plus the imperial court powerhouses from some surrounding countries; the danger is imaginable."
"Wang Yiqiu and I also plan to go in; how about the three of us form a team and advance and retreat together?"
Shan Zhenhai smiled and extended an invitation to Lu Changsheng.
He stated his purpose directly.
"Lu would be more than happy to."
Lu Changsheng agreed immediately.
The two of them were not weak, and their friendship was quite good, so he naturally would not refuse such a good thing.
With so many powerhouses entering, the chaotic battle would certainly be very bloody.
Finding a group in advance could also avoid many inconveniences.
Afterwards, the two exchanged a few more words, and Shan Zhenhai got up and left the great hall.
The next few days.
Lu Changsheng was once again immersed in the joy of cultivation.
Every day, besides contemplating the Killing Divine Heart, he sent the Pangolin to collect spiritual items.
At the same time, that small world had been completely hollowed out.
The Pangolin had returned to the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The speed at which the resources in his hands grew also gradually slowed down.
At this rate, to break through to the late-stage Grandmaster, it would likely take several years. This was something he could not accept at all.
After all, no one knew when that demon army would slaughter its way to the Great Zhou.
Lu Changsheng could not wait that long.
If other Grandmasters knew Lu Changsheng's thoughts, they would definitely be shocked to the point of dropping their jaws.
After stepping into the Grandmaster realm, breaking through a level in a few years was already a state that countless martial artists dared not even imagine.
One must know that a Grandmaster's lifespan is about five hundred years, and sometimes a single seclusion lasts for several months.
A few years is simply not worth mentioning.
"It seems I must also prepare well for the trip to the Huntian Realm."
Lu Changsheng pondered secretly in his heart.
This realm was his opportunity to truly take off.
The massive amount of resources inside would be enough to pile him up to the Grandmaster perfection, or even Great Grandmaster?...
Just as Lu Changsheng was cultivating diligently.
Far away in the Capital City, at the Prince Yong Mansion.
Inside a quiet side hall.
"Waa, waa..."
Following a few loud cries, two red-skinned infants were carefully held in the arms of a kind-faced midwife.
"Born, born, mother and children are safe; Miss Qin has given birth to a pair of twins."
The midwife announced the good news loudly to the figure behind the porch.
The loud voice echoed in the great hall.
"Hoo..."
Qin Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief inwardly upon hearing this.
Fortunately, both were fine, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to "answer" to Lu Changsheng.
These days, he had been under immense pressure to suppress this matter.
His own daughter had become pregnant and given birth without cause, and now even the biological father had not shown his face; rumors had long been flying everywhere.
He had even received many scoldings from his father, Prince Yong.
This caused their branch to lose a lot of benefits and reputation.
However, upon receiving the latest news about Lu Changsheng, he knew it was all worth it.
The other party had already become a top God Child, and the peak of the martial path was not far away.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
At this moment, Qin Ruobing walked out holding the pair of infants, her face looking slightly tired.
The two infants had their eyes tightly closed, their faces rosy, and they looked extremely healthy.
Their brows were quite similar to Lu Changsheng's.
"Why not rest a while longer?"
Qin Chaoyang looked concerned.
"Daughter is also a martial artist; I am not that fragile."
Qin Ruobing smiled faintly.
"It is no longer appropriate for you and the children to live here from now on."
"Lu Changsheng doesn't even know to come and see you."
Qin Chaoyang frowned.
He felt quite resentful that Lu Changsheng had not been to the Capital City for nearly a year.
If the two of them held a wedding ceremony and had a formal status, it would save a lot of trouble.
For top powerhouses, being pregnant before marriage was not a big deal.
Many would even envy someone for finding a God Child as a son-in-law.
However, if it were a "wild child," it would be different.
I fear the entire Marquis Mansion branch would become a laughingstock.
"Father, please don't worry; Husband must be at a critical stage of cultivation."
Qin Ruobing quickly explained.
Seeing her daughter completely fallen, Qin Zhaoyang found it difficult to say anything more.
Just at this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside.
A large group of figures was walking rapidly toward the main hall.
Soon, they pushed open the doors and surged in.
A middle-aged man wearing a python robe, surrounded by a crowd, arrived opposite Qin Zhaoyang.
Looking at the pair of infants in Qin Ruobing's arms, he wore an ill-intentioned expression.
The person who arrived was none other than Qin Kaishan, one of the sons of the Prince of Yong, who had always been at odds with Qin Zhaoyang.
The two sides were in competition over many interests.
"What is going on with my niece?"
Qin Kaishan feigned surprise, asking a question he already knew the answer to.
Now that there was such a good opportunity to strike at a competitor, he would not let it go.
Qin Ruobing's eyes turned cold.
In an instant, she understood that there was a mole in her inner circle.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to arrive with such coincidence.
Her icy gaze swept behind her, only to see a maid in green quickly lower her head.
Clearly, she had a guilty conscience.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyang's expression turned extremely gloomy.
"Hmph... My affairs are not for you to gossip about."
Thinking that the other party had shown no respect at all and had come directly to find fault, he felt extremely dissatisfied.
"According to the family rules of the Prince's Mansion, having a child out of wedlock requires being sent to the Clan Affairs Office."
"Now that Father is not here, I shall temporarily enforce the family rules."
Qin Kaishan wore a look of triumph.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Today, no matter what, he had to severely strike at Qin Zhaoyang's prestige.
The position of Heir to the Prince's Mansion was something only he was fit to occupy.
As he spoke, he waved his large hand, and a large group of Black Armor soldiers behind him surrounded them, attempting to take away Qin Ruobing and her two children.
Seeing this, Qin Ruobing was full of tension, her palms clutching her son and daughter tightly.
At this moment, numerous figures within the Prince's Mansion also surrounded them, sealing off the entire courtyard.
Qin Ruoshui, An Youyun, and others were also among them.
Seeing her daughter in danger, An Youyun was also full of worry.
"Bullshit, what qualifications do you have to enforce family rules? I want to see who dares to make a move!"
An angry shout resounded through the main hall, and Qin Zhaoyang's expression was extremely cold.
The aura around his body surged wildly, pressing down on the surrounding crowd until they could barely breathe.
For a moment, the numerous Black Armor soldiers all stopped, looking at each other in dismay.
Faced with the clash between the two Marquises, they found it difficult to choose and could only watch for the time being.
Seeing that his goal could not be achieved, Qin Kaishan was not anxious, but instead gave a cold smile.
"Father returns in three days; at the end-of-month family banquet, I hope you can explain this 'well'."
Having said this, he turned and walked away without looking back.
His footsteps were very light, and he soon disappeared into the corridor.
Being able to severely suppress his old rival, he felt extremely refreshed.
"Everyone, disperse."
Qin Zhaoyang scanned the entire scene with a gloomy face.
At this moment, he was also looking for a way to deal with this matter.
However, the one who tied the knot must be the one to untie it; he could only let Lu Zhangsheng come to resolve it himself.
With a top-tier Godly Son present, everything would fall apart without a fight.
Soon, everyone left one after another.
"Daughter will notify Husband as soon as possible, making things difficult for Father."
Qin Ruobing said with an apologetic look.
"It's fine, it would be best if he comes to the Capital City in the next few days to settle your affairs."
Qin Zhaoyang smiled and waved his hand.
Then, the two exchanged a few more words, and Qin Zhaoyang left the place.
Soon, the news of Qin Ruobing giving birth spread like wildfire.
Even the entire Capital City knew about this matter.
Some hostile forces were all watching the Prince of Yong's Mansion make a fool of itself.
A storm surrounding the entire Prince's Mansion arrived quietly.
Even the Princess Consort expressed her dissatisfaction multiple times, all of which Qin Zhaoyang bore himself.
In a magnificent courtyard.
Qin Yuxuan leaned back in her chair, looking satisfied.
She had always been jealous that Qin Ruobing could go out for training; this opportunity should have been hers.
"This lowly concubine-born daughter has finally met her retribution."
All of this was inseparable from her secret reporting.
She was just waiting for the farce in a few days.
