However, the other party’s body and face seemed to be shrouded in an ethereal divine aura, indistinct and veiled, making it impossible to see their true appearance.

….

“What is your name?”

Yun Wanshang gazed at Lu Qingxuan, whose appearance perfectly inherited the likeness of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, and felt a sudden sense of closeness in her heart. Her voice softened as she spoke.

“Reporting to the True Immortal, my name is Lu Qingxuan.”

Lu Qingxuan looked at Yun Wanshang, whose entire being emanated a glowing radiance and an invisible aura of oppression. Although slightly restrained, he maintained composure and respectfully clasped his hands in salute.

“Lu Qingxuan.”

Yun Wanshang nodded slightly and asked aloud, “The Qingyun Sect opens its mountain gates once every five years to recruit new disciples. If you are willing, I can grant you the status of an Inner Sect Disciple directly.”

Although she did not know Lu Qingxuan’s talent level, she could infer from his cultivation level that his Spiritual Root was not only adequate but possibly exceptional.

Therefore, if he was willing to join the Qingyun Sect, she was also willing to extend some favor.

“Thank you for your kindness, True Immortal. I will need to ask my parents before deciding.”

Lu Qingxuan was somewhat flattered but did not give a direct answer.

“Very well.”

Yun Wanshang did not press further. She brought Lu Qingxuan to a mountain peak.

A moment later, an elder in a purple robe stepped out to greet them.

Upon hearing Yun Wanshang’s intention, he took up the talisman brush, extracted a drop of Lu Qingxuan’s essence blood, and performed a technique with hand gestures to divine his fate.

“So this is the art of divination…”

Lu Qingxuan watched Elder Du with serious eyes.

The Hundred Arts of Cultivation were vast and profound.

Of these, the art of divination counted as one of the most mysterious.

However, such inheritance was exceedingly rare, with only a few individuals able to master it. He had only read about it in books and had never witnessed it before.

After a long while.

“Caiyun True Immortal, this person’s fate is also shrouded by a force that obscures Heaven’s Secrets, making it difficult to deduce his circumstances.”

Elder Du shook his head and said.

When divining Chu Qingyi earlier, he had expended considerable essence, qi, and spirit.

Now, while divining Lu Changsheng, he felt a resistance—a veiling of Heaven’s Secrets—and chose not to continue.

“Elder Du, thank you for your hard work.”

Yun Wanshang nodded and said.

Her purpose in divining Lu Changsheng’s situation was twofold: first, to see whether she could uncover useful clues or information about him.

Secondly, she wanted to understand if his circumstances were similar to her disciple Chu Qingyi’s.

Now, hearing this result, her expression subtly tensed. She thought to herself: Is that Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator truly Lu Changsheng?

Otherwise, why would her disciple Chu Qingyi be concealed from Heaven’s Secrets, and Lu Changsheng too?

Furthermore, she had given Lu Changsheng a token sealed with Divine Skills many years ago.

If the token were activated, she would be able to sense it through mysterious connections.

Yet, she had not felt the token being activated, which indicated Lu Changsheng was likely not in grave danger.

Yun Wanshang did not dwell further on the matter. She turned to Lu Qingxuan, lightly flicked her jade-like fingers, and a Jade Talisman fell before him. She spoke aloud, “If in the future you wish to join the Qingyun Sect, you may use this to contact me.”

Currently, with Lu Changsheng’s whereabouts uncertain, Bi Lake Mountain was likely to face some trouble.

Though she would not personally intervene in such matters, she was willing to offer some backing.

This Jade Talisman served as a gesture of support.

If Bi Lake Mountain did encounter trouble, as long as Lu Qingxuan or Lu Miaoge presented this Jade Talisman, it would serve as an external deterrent.

“This junior thanks the True Immortal!”

Lu Qingxuan, though unsure why this Nascent Soul True Immortal regarded him so highly, was still overjoyed and respectfully clasped his hands in salute.

“Very well.”

After returning to Caiyun Peak with Lu Qingxuan, Yun Wanshang explained the situation briefly to Xiao Xiyue before heading to the Heavenly Sword Sect, transforming into a streak of rainbow light and leaving the Qingyun Sect.

“Xiyue, I recall Xingyue and Yunlou are at the Qingyun Sect. If convenient, I wish to visit them.”

At this moment, Lu Miaoge spoke aloud. Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As the aunt of Xingyue and Yunlou, now that she was at the Qingyun Sect, it was only proper to show care and concern.

Besides, her husband had encountered such an incident, and it was possible the news might reach the two of them.

She should also remind them to focus on their Foundation Establishment and not worry about family affairs.

“Alright.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded, leading Lu Miaoge to visit the two of them, and afterwards to see Zhao Qingqing.

“Mother, earlier Caiyun True Immortal asked if I was willing to join the Qingyun Sect…”

When Lu Miaoge left the Qingyun Sect and returned to Bi Lake Mountain with Lu Qingxuan, he took out the Jade Talisman from Caiyun True Immortal and spoke.

“Ah…”

Lu Miaoge was pleasantly surprised, not expecting her son to be highly valued by Caiyun True Immortal.

Although her husband believed their children had no need to join Immortal Sects, the fact that her son was proactively regarded by the True Immortal still moved her heart.

However, recalling the past events concerning her son Lu Qingshan and daughter Lu Qingzhu, she calmed herself and decided to wait for Lu Changsheng’s return before making a decision.

“Mother, the True Immortal bestowed this Jade Talisman upon me, which surely shows favor toward our family.”

“Just recently, Father had taken the role of Guest Elder at Caiyun Peak, and now he encountered unexpected danger in the Tianyuan Secret Realm…”

At this moment, Lu Qingxuan pursed his lips and spoke softly.

Lu Miaoge felt her heart tremble upon hearing this. Her expression softened as she gently stroked her son’s head, murmuring, “Xuan’er, don’t worry. Your father will be fine, absolutely fine…”

…

Within the Tianyuan Lotus, there were no sun, moon, or stars—no day and night to alternate.

Lu Changsheng and Chu Qingyi engaged in endless intimacy and dual cultivation.

The two almost forgot time, forgot themselves, and became wholly intertwined.

Throughout this process, Chu Qingyi’s condition gradually improved; her stunningly beautiful face was no longer deathly pale but gained a warmer flush.

“Lu Daoist…”

At this moment, Chu Qingyi spoke softly, indicating that she was already much better.

“No rush, Nascent Soul Origin is still sufficient; let’s be cautious.”

Lu Changsheng gazed at the mesmerizing elegance of the woman before him and replied.

At first, his sole focus had been on helping her recover, leaving no time to fully appreciate the unparalleled beauty of this Sword Immortal Child.
