Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

"Alright, let’s begin."

After briefly explaining, Venerable Lingfeng instructed the nine individuals to step forward and attempt to comprehend the inheritance of the Heaven Tablet.

The first batch of nine cultivators appeared slightly nervous as they sat cross-legged before the stone tablet, placing both hands upon its surface and channeling their mana into it.

Lu Changsheng quietly observed the scene, trying to decipher the mysteries hidden within the stone tablet.

Yet, without utilizing his pupil skills or Fire Golden Eye, Lu Changsheng couldn’t discern anything peculiar.

He merely sensed that once the nine individuals injected their mana, the stone tablet seemed to radiate an endless flow of Great Dao principles, exuding a mysterious and profound aura.

"Could this stone tablet be some kind of inheritance treasure?"

Lu Changsheng pondered to himself, watching for a while before ceasing his observation and sitting cross-legged.

Time passed little by little.

He gazed at the stone tablet before him, placed his hands on it again, and injected mana.

Yet, the stone tablet seemed to possess an invisible force that repelled and rejected him.

"Everyone can only obtain opportunities from it once. Next."

Upon witnessing this, Venerable Lingfeng calmly remarked.

He then summoned the individual to inquire about the inheritance opportunity obtained from the stone tablet.

Although Lu Changsheng couldn’t hear their conversation, upon seeing Venerable Lingfeng’s expression remaining unmoved, he deduced that the cultivation technique inheritance likely did not yield any surprises.

"According to Xi Yue, the Heaven Tablet offers each individual a unique Great Dao insight and cultivation technique inheritance, though repetitions may occur."

"The Four Great Immortal Sects have released such benefits not only to win over people’s loyalty but also to gather all of Jiang Country’s extraordinary talents. Presumably, they aim to extract as many cultivation techniques from this event as possible."

"Moreover, even if family forces obtain top-level cultivation techniques, all the spells and methods of these techniques are firmly controlled by the Four Great Immortal Sects, including ways to counteract or deconstruct them."

Lu Changsheng mused inwardly.

And so, time continued to pass bit by bit.

The cultivators present stepped forward in an orderly fashion to comprehend the Heaven Tablet.

During this process, Lu Changsheng noticed a pattern.

The longer one’s comprehension lasted, the greater the likely benefits.

As for the factors determining the duration of comprehension, Lu Changsheng remained unclear, speculating it might relate to talent, comprehension, cultivation level, realm, and other such factors.

"Hmm?"

On this day, Lu Changsheng observed a young man finishing his comprehension of the Heaven Tablet. After handing over the cultivation technique inheritance to Venerable Lingfeng, the man’s hand, retreating into his sleeve, seemed to execute a furtive motion.

The motion was subtle and concealed.

If not for Lu Changsheng having awakened the Taiyi Divine Soul, with a Divine Sense rivaling the peak of Core Formation, and coincidentally looking toward the man, he might not have even noticed it.

"Could this man be a demonic path cultivator?"

Lu Changsheng speculated internally, finding the man’s behavior suspicious.

He even suspected the man to be a Demonic Path Nascent Soul cultivator who, after comprehending the Heaven Tablet and confirming its contents, was now transmitting information to the outside world.

Still, though he had noticed something was amiss, speaking up about it now was unwise.

After all, there were four Nascent Soul Immortals presiding over this place.

If he, merely at Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, suddenly voiced suspicions about someone, it would seem unreasonable.

Moreover, the Four Great Immortal Sects had laid down a Heaven-and-Earth Net within the Tianyuan Secret Realm, and this situation might well be intentional.

"If chaos truly erupts, I hope it waits until I’ve finished comprehending the Heaven Tablet."

Lu Changsheng’s expression remained composed.

Although his interest in the Heaven Tablet’s inheritance wasn’t profound,

since he was here, he naturally wished to experience it.

However, not long after,

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening sound of collapse tore through, causing the entire Secret Realm to tremble and quake violently.

"What’s happening?"

"What’s going on!?"

All present abruptly opened their eyes, their expressions marked by confusion, surprise, and dread.

Even those still comprehending the Heaven Tablet snapped awake, bewildered and uncertain, glancing around in mutual astonishment.

"Is there really a demonic path disturbance!?"

Lu Changsheng’s heart surged with surprise, confirming his earlier observation of information being transmitted externally.

Otherwise, could it truly be mere coincidence?

Moreover, the intensity of this commotion indicated the intruders were no ordinary individuals.

"Hmm!?"

Chu Qingyi, Venerable Huxiao, and several others furrowed their brows in unison, collectively gazing toward the entrance of the Secret Realm.

"Remain calm!"

Venerable Lingfeng seemed to have anticipated this scenario, taking a step forward and shouting with a deep voice.

As he spoke, the power and presence of Nascent Soul-level mana pervaded the area, bringing the chaotic atmosphere to an abrupt halt.

"I trust you’ve all heard the rumors about certain demonic path thieves coveting the opportunities within this Secret Realm."

"But these inherited opportunities within the Secret Realm are not yours for the taking—those rats in the shadows who dare come will face utter annihilation!"

Clad in a flowing white robe, his hair and beard snow-white, Venerable Lingfeng exuded an aura of divine majesty, yet his tone carried undeniable authority and resolve.

After finishing, his demeanor shifted, his expression stern and resolute as he said: "Many among you have yet to encounter demonic path cultivators."

"But the Cultivation Realm of Jiang Country has always stood in opposition to the demonic path. And so, I must remind you all—we, as cultivators, wrest life from the heavens!"

"If you wish to break through Core Formation or Nascent Soul, then in the future, you will inevitably clash with the demonic path. Only by harboring no fear, cutting through myriad demons, both external and internal, can you navigate the thorny path to seek your true self and inquire of the Great Dao of Changsheng!"

Venerable Lingfeng’s robe billowed as he spoke with an overwhelming presence, his voice projecting clearly into everyone’s ears.

"Thank you for the guidance, Venerable Immortal. We understand!"

"Rest assured, Venerable Immortal—should we encounter demonic path cultivators, we will harbor no fear and show no mercy!"

"We stand firmly opposed to the demonic path!"

The gathered cultivators, hearing these words, felt their anxiety dissipate instantly, knowing the Four Great Immortal Sects were fully prepared. They bowed respectfully and spoke out loudly.

However, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but notice that while many family cultivators displayed seemingly passionate and resolute expressions, their behaviors were clearly superficial and ingratiating.

Only the disciples of the immortal sects truly exhibited stirred emotions and steadfast determination.
