Chapter 81

Before that.

Translation: "Before that."

Lu Zhangsheng had also looked into it.

Translation: "Lu Zhangsheng had also learned about it."

The strand of hair on his ring finger seems related to the Empress.

Translation: "The hair strand on the ring finger seemed related to the Empress."

When he was born, it attracted an attack by dark creatures.

Translation: "When I was born, it attracted Dark Creatures to attack."

The Empress also walked out of the Immortal Palace, slaughtered them all, and left this behind.

Translation: "The Empress also walked out of the Immortal Palace, killed them all, and then left this thing."

As for more details, however, he did not know.

Translation: "As for more, I don't know."

Now his cultivation is in the Divine Ability Realm.

Translation: "Now, the cultivation in the Shentong Realm."

The hair strand underwent some changes, and Lu Zhangsheng felt he needed to understand its specific function.

Translation: "It caused some changes to the hair strand; Lu Zhangsheng thought it necessary to understand its specific function."

Asking the old ancestor is the best approach, after all, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't know either.

Translation: "Asking the Elder Ancestor is the best method, after all, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't know either."

Beside him, the Eight Mysteries Ancestor heard this, was first startled, then gave it careful thought.

Translation: "Beside him, Eight Xuan Ancestor heard it, first startled, then gave it careful thought."

He felt that although Lu Zhangsheng is only one year old now.

Translation: "He felt that although Lu Zhangsheng is only one year old now."

But since it has been discovered.

Translation: "But since we have discovered it."

It also needs to be explained clearly.

Translation: "We must also explain it clearly."

Immediately, he organized his words and said: "This is the Myriad Tribulations Love Thread, it carries Linglong's Dao and method; to you, it poses no threat at all, but rather is some kind of aid; as to where it will help, I am not sure."

Translation: "Immediately, he organized his words and said: 'This is the Myriad Tribulations Love Thread, it carries Linglong's Dao and method; to you, it poses no threat at all, but rather is some kind of aid; as to where it will help, I am not sure.'"

Note: We need to translate the term as well; it is a Chinese word meaning "method" or "law". It is part of the phrase "Dao and method". According to the rules, we translate meaning unless it is a proper noun. The term is a common noun meaning "method/law", so we should translate it. Thus the phrase becomes "Dao and method". However, the phrase "Dao and method" is a common cultivation term; many translations keep "Fa", but following the rule we translate it as "method". So we will use "Dao and method".

Thus line: "This is the Myriad Tribulations Love Thread, it carries Linglong's Dao and method; to you, it poses no threat at all, but rather is some kind of aid; as to where it will help, I am not sure."

"But there is one thing that is certain: Changsheng, when you grow up and want to find a dao companion."

Translation: "'But there is one thing that is certain: Changsheng, when you grow up and want to find a dao companion.'"

Note: "Changsheng" is the nickname of the protagonist Lu Zhangsheng; the term "dao companion" refers to a cultivation partner. So the line translates to: "'But there is one thing that is certain: Changsheng, when you grow up and want to find a dao companion.'"

"Hopefully don't cause trouble; at the very least, let our Lu clan first make contact with Linglong."

Translation: "'Hope you don't act recklessly; at least, let our Lu Family first make contact with Linglong.'"

"In other words, this Myriad Tribulations Love Thread means she regards you as her husband."

Translation: "'This Myriad Tribulations Love Thread, in other words, means she regards you as her husband.'"

"What? As soon as those words were spoken,"

Translation: "'What?' Upon hearing these words."

Lu Zhangsheng was completely dazed.

Translation: "Lu Zhangsheng was completely dazed."

The Empress has taken me as her husband.

Translation: "The Empress, she has taken me as her husband."

"Or was it decided when I was just born? He stood there stunned, completely unable to understand why."

Translation: "Or was it decided when I was just born? He stood there stunned, completely unable to figure out why."

It was just too sudden and too unbelievable, especially considering that Empress.

Translation: "Because it was too sudden, too unimaginable, after all, regarding that Empress."

He himself had some knowledge of her; she was the most stunningly talented woman of the age.

Translation: "I myself have some understanding of her; she is the most stunningly talented woman of the present age."

By her own power, she propped up an undying-level force in one corner of the Xuanhuang Grand World, namely the Linglong Immortal Palace.

Translation: "With her own power, she propped up one immortal-level force of the Mysterious Yellow Grand World, namely the Exquisite Immortal Palace."

The key point Lu Zhangsheng also knew was that she achieved this with merely a mortal fleshly body.

Translation: "The key is, Lu Zhangsheng also knows that the other party is merely a mortal fleshly body, yet achieved this extent."

And yet she is a figure who looks down upon all ages, with peerless elegance and talent.

Translation: "And such a person, who looks down upon all ages, with peerless elegance."

And yet she had already arranged for him to be her husband.

Translation: "Actually pre-arranged this husband for himself."

Beside him,

Translation: "Beside."

The Eight Mysteries Ancestor, however, wore a faint smile.

Translation: "Eight Xuan Ancestor, however, bore a faint smile."

He had also long anticipated the little great-grandson's reaction.

Translation: "He had long anticipated the little great-grandson's reaction today."

In fact, when these old ancestors first learned of it, they reacted the same way.

Translation: "In fact, when these Elder Ancestors first learned of it, they were the same."

Be aware, in other words, if things continue this way, the Empress will very likely become the Lu clan's daughter-in-law.

Translation: "Know this: put another way, if this continues, the Empress will very likely become the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family in the future."

Moreover, in everyone's eyes, the little great-grandson Changsheng, who possesses supreme talent and an ultimate physique, is a suitable match for the Empress.

Translation: "And in everyone's eyes, the little grandson Zhangsheng, who possesses supreme talent and an ultimate physique, being matched with the Empress is not unreasonable."

If it truly comes to pass, what would that mean? They dare not even imagine it further.

Translation: "If it truly comes to pass, what would that mean? Even they dare not imagine further."

At least one thing is certain: the Ancient Lu Clan will surely rule over the Xuanhuang Grand World.

Translation: "At least one thing is certain: the Ancient Lu Family will surely be able to rule the Mysterious Yellow Grand World."

Just imagine that.

Translation: "Just imagine."

What would it be like when Lu Zhangsheng grows up, combined with the Empress who already possesses an invincible momentum? Of course, the Eight Mysteries Ancestor and others also believe that how this will ultimately turn out cannot be forced.

Translation: "When Lu Zhangsheng grows up, combined with the Empress who already possesses an invincible momentum, what kind of scene would that be? Of course, Eight Xuan Ancestor and the others also think that how this ends in the end cannot be forced."

No matter what the Empress thinks, they consider it important.

Translation: "No matter what the Empress thinks, they consider it important."

It depends on Lu Zhangsheng's wishes.

Translation: "It is to see Lu Zhangsheng's intention."

Immediately.

Translation: "Immediately."

The Eight Mysteries Ancestor restrained his smile and said nothing more.

Translation: "Eight Xuan Ancestor restrained his smile and said nothing more."

After glancing at the still-stunned little great-grandson, he quietly departed.

Translation: "After glancing at the still shocked little great-grandson, he quietly departed."

Because everything he needed to do had been done, the next step was to decide how to proceed.

Translation: "Because what he needed to do has already been done; next is figuring out how to proceed."

Another headache arose.

Translation: "Another headache arose."

His thoughts came to this point.

Translation: "His thoughts reached this point."

He suddenly wondered what expression those old comrades would have if they learned that Lu Zhangsheng, so quickly, had broken through to the Divine Ability Realm with his mortal body, triggered phenomena, and reached the state of perfection.

Translation: "He suddenly thought: when those old buddies learn that Changsheng, so quickly, has achieved breaking through Shentong with his mortal body, triggered a phenomenon, and reached perfection, what expression would they have?"

After the Eight Mysteries Ancestor left, Lu Zhangsheng also came to his senses.

Translation: "After Eight Xuan Ancestor left, Lu Zhangsheng also came to his senses."

Earlier, after learning that this strand of hair was left by the Empress,

Translation: "Earlier, after learning that this hair strand was left by the Empress."

He thought it would certainly not be simple, but he never imagined it would turn out like this.

Translation: "He thought that this thing would definitely not be simple, but he never expected it to be like this."

And yet this is the result.

Translation: "It turned out to be this result."

Myriad Tribulations Love Thread.

Translation: "Myriad Tribulations Love Thread."

Love Thread.

Translation: "Love thread."

From this one can hear it; what the old ancestor said is certainly not wrong.

Translation: "From this aspect, one can hear it; what the Elder Ancestor said is certainly not wrong."

But once Lu Zhangsheng fully understood it, he began to feel helpless.

Translation: "But after Lu Zhangsheng fully understood, he began to feel helpless."

Other things could be discussed, but he is only one year old; how could someone have taken a liking to him?

Translation: "Other things are fine to say, but I'm only one year old, and someone has taken a liking to me?"

And the other party,

Translation: "And the other party."

"Forget it; it's still too early to think about this. Since the Myriad Tribulations Love Thread poses no threat to me, I don't need to worry too much." Lu Zhangsheng thought.

Translation: "'Forget it, thinking about this now is premature; since that Myriad Tribulations Love Thread poses no threat to me, I don't need to worry too much.' Lu Zhangsheng thought."

After the mighty power erupted from that love thread earlier, and after it helped him gain control of the phenomenon's power,

Translation: "After the mighty power erupted from that love thread earlier, and after it helped him gain control of the phenomenon's power."

Adding the old ancestor's words, this item indeed provides him with many benefits.

Translation: "Plus the Elder Ancestor's words; this thing indeed offers him many benefits."

Now seen

It's merely one of those.

As for the Myriad Tribulations Love Thread, what use it can still serve is unknown.

That's not something Lu Zhangsheng needs to consider now; he slightly calmed his mind.

Without overthinking, he began to follow Eight Xuan Ancestor's instructions.

Familiarize himself with the current powers.

Shentong Realm.

Indeed, it is completely different from the Fleshly Body Realm.

Having divine power within his body, he can use divine thought to probe the surrounding heaven and earth even more.

More useful than directly looking with his eyes, he can perceive many minute changes.

For Lu Zhangsheng, it is indeed a novel experience; especially after reaching Shentong Realm, there are even more things he can do.

For example, truly feeling the power of the Innate Divine God Thought, and completely refining the Eight Wastes Sword Embryo for his own use.

However, it needs to be done step by step; what's most important now is...

Still adapting to this brand-new realm.

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Eight Xuan Ancestor has already returned to the Lesser Immortal Realm.

Because of Lu Zhangsheng's birth, Thirteen Xuan Ancestor and the others, who had originally been in seclusion.

Even that Ancient Ancestor was no exception.

They directly ended their seclusion and only performed daily cultivation here.

For such powerhouses as them, doing so.

Will slow their cultivation progress.

Moreover, if the time is too long, they fear they will never be able to reach the second realm.

But these old ancestors, however, don't care about that, because for the people now, there are more important matters concerning the future of the entire Lu Family; compared to that, how their own achievements turn out is not so important.

When Eight Xuan Ancestor returned to the Lesser Immortal Realm, Thirteen Xuan Ancestor and the others immediately sensed it.

"How did you come back so quickly? Didn't you just start today?"

Five Xuan Ancestor opened his eyes and slightly furrowed his brows.

Beside them, Thirteen Xuan Ancestor and the Ancient Ancestor also cast their gazes.

Yes.

Changsheng has only just begun cultivation; not even a day has passed yet.

Eight Xuan Ancestor, hearing that, took a deep breath and then said: "Because it's over, Changsheng has already reached Shentong Realm Great Perfection."

"What?" The words had just been spoken.

The three Lu Family elders present were all shocked.

In their eyes, an incredulous color was revealed.

Eight Xuan Ancestor took all this in, had already guessed it, and immediately did not conceal it.

He related everything that had happened before, leaving nothing out.

When the three elders knew the full story.

They directly stared at each other.

They were unable to speak.

"Using divine power of the Sage Realm to forge the foundation of cultivation, starting from scratch, this is great perseverance."

"And from having no cultivation, reaching the extreme perfection of the Fleshly Body Realm, the 108 divine meridians on the white skin, breaking the ancient record."

"Now, he has directly achieved Shentong Realm perfection, opening up a Divine Power Sea as vast as the universe; all this was completed in just one day, with total cultivation time adding up to less than ten days, and yet we have been delayed."

Thirteen Xuan Ancestor couldn't help but speak: "This child, will he really become an immortal in the future?"

"Brothers, come vote, little brother will definitely strive to write! (End of chapter)"
