Qingyun Sect.
Due to the Core Formation ceremony, the Qingyun Sect had been bustling with excitement recently, like a market in session.
Countless cultivators rushed to Qingyun Sect to offer congratulations.
Even many loose cultivators came near the Qingyun mountain range; at the foot of the mountain, they hoped to encounter some esteemed person who would take notice of them and thus grant them an opportunity.
After Lu Changsheng, Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, and others arrived at Qingyun Sect, they presented their gifts and were arranged to reside in the guest quarters, waiting for the ceremony to begin and to observe it.
Cultivators like them, at the Foundation Establishment stage, were naturally given a unified reception by the Qingyun Sect disciples.
...
Only the Heavenly Sword Sect, Luoxia Sect, Spirit Taming Sect, Huan Yin Sect, and Azure Phoenix Immortal City—such influential forces at the Nascent Soul Level—would have a steward from Qingyun Sect to receive and make arrangements.
However, this ceremony still allowed Lu Changsheng to meet many family forces here.
Among them, many family ancestors and stewards invited Lu Changsheng to visit their homes whenever he was free, as the younger generations admired him.
After all, in the entire Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family was not really significant, and many people hadn’t even heard of them.
But in the Qingyun Region, among the Foundation Establishment family forces, the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family still had a certain reputation and importance.
And those who recognized his name knew that this Lu Ancestor was fond of beauties and loved having children.
Because of this, people were willing to make his acquaintance through such means, looking to connect with a promising Second Rank Talisman Master and Alchemist.
“What, Azure Phoenix Immortal venturing into the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and returning severely injured?”
In a elegantly serene courtyard, Lu Changsheng was having tea and chatting with several Foundation Establishment cultivators.
One of the elders shared a piece of news, provoking surprise among the listeners.
After all, this was about the Azure Phoenix Immortal, the master of Azure Phoenix Immortal City, Jiang Kingdom’s Number One Independent Cultivator!
Years ago, it had even been said that he singlehandedly fought against three Great Demons and ultimately slew one of them—a remarkable feat.
“This matter is just a rumor, but the fact that Qingluan Peak has sent people to prohibit such rumors only adds to the credibility of these rumors.”
This elder unconsciously lowered his voice.
“I had heard rumors long ago that Azure Phoenix Immortal was severely injured and had gone into closed-door cultivation, so this news might not necessarily be true.”
“To see if this news is true or not, one only needs to watch the situation in Azure Phoenix Immortal City. If the public order there worsens, it would prove the rumor true.”
“I recently visited Azure Phoenix Immortal City, and currently there is no evident change.”
“If Azure Phoenix Immortal was really severely injured, there might be significant turmoil in Azure Phoenix Immortal City.”
The others nearby expressed their thoughts, their words quite sentimental.
However, most people didn’t pay much attention to this news.
After all, Qingyun Region was far from Azure Phoenix Immortal City, and only a very few family businesses reached there.
So even if the leadership in Azure Phoenix Immortal City changed, it wouldn’t greatly impact the family forces present here.
After chatting for a while, as it was getting late, everyone dispersed.
“Hmm?”
At that moment, Lu Changsheng sensed a dense surge of mana spontaneously flowing into his Qi Ocean Core, transforming into droplets of liquid mana.
“Is it Qingshan…”
Lu Changsheng immediately guessed that it was his son, Lu Qingshan, who had made a breakthrough to the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement.
After all, aside from his son Lu Quanzhen, who had overtaken others on the strength of his uncle Qu Changge’s help, his son Lu Qingshan was currently far ahead.
[Name: Lu Qingshan]
[Life Span: 23/118]
[Talent: Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, Gengjin Body Constitution (Medium-Grade Spirit Body)]
[Cultivation Level: Ninth Level Energy Refinement]
[Talent: Sword Dao Compatibility (84%)]
“Twenty-three years old and already at the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement; probably in another three to five years, he’ll break through to Foundation Establishment.”
Lu Changsheng’s face showed a hint of a smile, making a sound of approval.
This kind of cultivation talent in his son, even if placed within the Immortal Sects, belonged to the top echelons.
“Also, his Sword Dao talent has risen to 84%.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the talent display, pride glowing in his eyes.
Originally, his son’s Sword Dao talent was decent but just passable, barely considered genius.
But now, this level of Sword Dao talent was undeniably genius!
And it had been only just over two years.
As time passed, his son’s Sword Dao talent would continue to improve, making him an unmatched genius in the path of the Sword Dao!

“Now that the child has broken through to the late stage of Energy Refinement, the enhancement to my cultivation level is also considerably more noticeable.”
“I wonder how much improvement it could bring me if Quanzhen or Qingshan breaks through to Foundation Establishment.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the liquid mana within his Qi Ocean Core.
When his children had just begun cultivation, it was like only a few streams of air entering into Elixir Lake, unable to even form mana.
But now that the child had advanced to the late stage of Energy Refinement, they could finally form a few drops of liquid mana.
He greatly anticipated his children’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
After all, living a leisurely and relaxed life in cultivation was impossible through his own harsh cultivation.
But if he wanted rapid improvement in his cultivation level, he could only rely on his children striving hard.
…
Nine days later.
Qingyun Sect.
A huge plaza built from white jade.
This place was filled with cultivators and Qingyun Sect Foundation Establishment disciples who had come to offer congratulations.
Only Foundation Establishment cultivators were entitled to a seat.
Even Qingyun Sect disciples, if they had not broken through to Foundation Establishment, could only watch from afar and could not participate.
The sound of a bell ringing.
At that moment, bell chimes echoed.
In the plaza’s ethereal space, above several Green Jade Platforms, figures clad in Qingyun robes appeared.
They were both male and female, ranging from young to old, from every age group.
But each one emitted an unfathomable, deep and towering aura.
“The Core Formation ceremony officially begins!”
In the center of the platform, a cultivator in a Qingyun robe, with an imposing face, spoke out loud.
Immediately, strains of celestial music played, and a Rainbow Bridge emerged in the air, looking like a rainbow—colorful, splendid, and utterly magnificent.
