Chapter 2380 - 790_2
However, thinking about the abundant resources of the Starry Sky Sea, far surpassing Jiang Country, it is certain that my future should involve acquiring resources here. If I recruit a few Nascent Soul subordinates, it would be a good choice.
“If you wish to follow me, you may, but currently, I am occupied and have no time to attend to you.”
Lu Changsheng knew that their submission to him was due to benefits, as well as some fear of being silenced by him.
After speaking, he tossed a Jade Talisman and said, “In that case, you may keep this Jade Talisman. Once I’m done, I’ll come for you. During this period, you can gather information on the Starry Sky Sea and news about the Infant Transformation Elixir and Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects for me.”
Although Lu Changsheng still had one Infant Transformation Elixir and knew that Shi Hai True Monarch possibly possessed one too, one can never have too many.
“Thank you, Master!”
The five exchanged glances, accepted the Jade Talisman, and respectfully bowed to Lu Changsheng.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s eyes gleamed with a golden light as he carefully examined the faces of the five, and then spoke, “There are ominous signs of danger if you try to leave the Starry Sky Sea. Allow me to aid your journey.”
His words were not in vain.
Upon examining the five, he noticed two whose brows were shadowed with gray, indicating potential life-threatening danger.
Having witnessed Lu Changsheng’s divine skills, the five were instantly filled with dread upon hearing this, and quickly cupped their hands, saying, “Thank you, Senior.”
“Golden Peng.”
Lu Changsheng addressed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, signaling to fly towards the Great Dream Marsh.
Though he could use the Michen Banner to return to the Great Dream Immortal City first,
the Forbidden Sea lies deep within the Starry Sky Sea and is far from the Great Dream Marsh, consuming an immense amount of mana.
Even if he borrowed the Nascent Soul Magic Power from Yun Wanshang through the Sun Moon Samsara Technique, he could not return directly and would have to forcibly burn the Spirit Treasure Origin.
But the distance might render the Michen Banner half-useless.
Thus, it was better to travel with the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng first, and consider other options if necessary.
“Screech!”
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng let out a cry, shining brightly like a burning golden sun, carrying Lu Changsheng and the others across the Forbidden Sea towards the Great Dream Marsh.
Having broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Yun Wanshang could now gauge its power through the demon qi and speed of the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
She marveled at where Lu Changsheng acquired so many top-level Spiritual Pets.
Moreover, these Spiritual Pets were so obedient.
It’s known that even the Spirit Taming Sect’s Spiritual Beasts, after breaking through to the Third Rank, are not this obedient and tireless.
The five Nascent Soul Cultivators beside her felt excited, anxious, and fearful.
After all, they witnessed the battle between the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and Lu Changsheng against the Split Wind Beast.
To think they had the fortune of riding on such a top-level Demon King, was an unprecedented experience.
As they flaunted across the Forbidden Sea, they encountered demon king roars of provocation, but the release of Qi Mechanism from Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanshang, and Qian Zhuyan’s Fourth Rank Physique kept them from further provocation.
Thus, half a month later, they safely departed the Forbidden Sea area.
“I am planning to establish a force in the Starry Sky Sea in the future; you can start preparing for this.”
Lu Changsheng told the five Nascent Soul Cultivators and then continued traveling with Yun Wanshang.
“Lu Changsheng, are you planning to move your family to the Starry Sky Sea?”
Yun Wanshang asked Lu Changsheng.
She didn’t know much about the Starry Sky Sea.
But from the situation with the demon kings in the Forbidden Sea and the five Nascent Soul Cultivators earlier, she understood that this place was far more prosperous than Jiang Country.
“Jiang Country’s resources are limited. If I want more resources for cultivation in the future, I must leave Jiang Country.”
Lu Changsheng stated directly.
He didn’t mind nurturing his family safely in Jiang Country, but as his children grew and his cultivation level increased, the output of Jiang Country’s resources was far from enough, requiring expansion outward.
With his stake in the Great Dream Immortal City, he could establish a trade route between the Great Dream Marsh and the Starry Sky Sea.
Yun Wanshang naturally understood Lu Changsheng’s meaning.
Every Cultivation Nation has limited resources.
If resources are scarce, one must either exploit internally or invade externally.
She even saw that the current Jiang Country could hardly accommodate Lu Changsheng’s Lu Family and the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The two must either cooperate externally or inevitably face conflict.
Moreover, having broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, the Qingyun Sect would also want a share in Jiang Country.
“Caiyun, what are your plans next?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Yun Wanshang and asked.
The latter, having broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, would most likely return to the Qingyun Sect.
However, the Qingyun Sect does not have a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, which is insufficient for her cultivation.
Though nurturing a Sword Embryo and cultivating Divine Skills in the early stages is less affected, this issue must be considered.
“After being away for so many years, I plan to first return to the Qingyun Sect to give birth to Yun Xiao and then consider other matters.”
“You mentioned earlier that currently, Liang Country and Yue Country are at war; at that time, I might consider cooperating with the Heavenly Sword Sect to seize a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, or ask the Heavenly Sword Sect for cultivation assistance.”
As a direct lineage cultivator of the Qingyun Sect, Yun Wanshang had no ill feelings toward the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Having dealt with each other for years, she felt a degree of trust could be established for some cooperation with the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Previously, the Qingyun Sect wasn’t qualified, but having now reached the Nascent Soul stage, she had the power to influence the cultivation world.
“Lu Changsheng, what are your plans?”
Yun Wanshang asked Lu Changsheng again.
In her view, Lu Changsheng was deeply secretive.
Though a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he possessed a Fourth Rank Physique and a Fourth Rank Puppet, as well as Spiritual Pets.
Such strength was already on par with the Heavenly Sword Sect.
If it were any other cultivator, there would likely have been a dispute with the Heavenly Sword Sect already.
