Chapter 943 Divine Silkworm, Help from a Noble Person!
"Hmm? There's a life force here?"
As the stone skin was peeled away, Lu Changsheng sensed a faint life force through his Taiyi Divine Soul.
However, this life force was extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind.
"He's still alive?"
Upon seeing this, Honglian's flawless face showed a hint of surprise.
Although she judged through secret methods that this Spirit Source Stone contained a rare and precious demon beast.
However, the probability of such sealed items surviving is very small, almost negligible.
Her magical power flowed as she continued to peel away the Spirit Source Stone.
A moment later, Lu Changsheng and the other two could see the creature inside the Spirit Source Stone.
This is a small snake wrapped in a bright white silkworm cocoon.
As the Spirit Stone was peeled away and its energy leaked out, the little snake gradually revived and slowly began to beat.
However, its energy is extremely weak, almost extinguished at any moment.
What kind of snake is this?
Lu Changsheng could tell that this little snake was unusual, somewhat resembling the Rift Sea Xuanlong Whale before it had undergone the True Spirit Tribulation in its early years.
“This looks like a divine silkworm that failed to molt,” Xu Ruyin said, examining it closely.
"A divine silkworm?" Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Isn't this a snake? How come it's a silkworm?"
"The Divine Silkworm is a very peculiar creature. Its first form is that of a silkworm. Once it breaks through its barrier, it can transform into a snake through bloodline metamorphosis."
Honglian explained to Lu Changsheng, "This little snake is the Divine Silkworm undergoing a bloodline transformation, but unfortunately it failed, so it became trapped in its own cocoon and turned into a Spirit Source Stone."
"There are actually such demonic beasts? If it successfully transforms, what will it become if it undergoes another transformation? A dragon?" Lu Changsheng asked with great interest.
"Some will become dragons, while others will transform into silkworms. This depends on the growth of the divine silkworms."
Honglian said softly that the Divine Silkworm was a very peculiar creature with great potential, but it was difficult to cultivate.
Each breakthrough and bloodline transformation requires a large amount of resources.
But if the breakthrough fails, then all the efforts will be in vain.
Is there any hope for this divine silkworm?
Through Honglian's introduction, Lu Changsheng learned that this kind of divine silkworm was extraordinary and had the potential to continuously grow and evolve.
If this divine silkworm can be saved and a contract can be made with my son Lu Chensha, it will be of great help to his future.
"This divine silkworm failed to advance its bloodline, and its original vitality was exhausted. It barely survived by transforming into a cocoon and being sealed in the spiritual source. Now that the spiritual source stone has been broken, its vitality has been restored, and it is about to die at any time."
Honglian shook her head and said.
The divine silkworm before her was already on the verge of death, and even she, a master of beast taming, was powerless to help it.
“My lord, I can give it a try,” Xu Ruyin said upon hearing this.
"Oh?" Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Honglian had no solution, but Xu Ruyin did.
"The Beast Taming Ancient Talisman can plunder the life essence and life source of other demonic beasts to cultivate and enhance them. In this way, it might be possible to prolong the life of this divine silkworm."
Xu Ruyin produced an ancient beast-taming talisman in her hand and said, "However, this divine silkworm should have reached the late stage of the third rank. To revive it, the life essence and origin required are enormous, and the essence of origin in the ancient talisman is far from sufficient."
"That's easy to say."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly, and a small yin-yang ball flew out from his sleeve.
The small ball spun around, and the yin-yang mist flowed around it, vaguely revealing a ferocious and terrifying two-headed earth dragon.
It was Luo Fuzi's spirit pet, a two-headed earth dragon.
Although the earth dragon was dead, its essence was used by the Hunting God Chariot to enslave the giant whale, and its demon core was given to Lu Lingjing by Lu Changsheng.
But this fourth-tier demon king is a treasure trove; his flesh, bones, and heart are all brimming with boundless vitality.
"Use the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman to plunder as much as you like," Lu Changsheng said to Xu Ruyin.
"This is a fourth-tier demon king!?"
Although the two-headed earth dragon was imprisoned by Lu Changsheng's supernatural powers and transformed into a small yin-yang ball.
However, Xu Ruyin could clearly feel the pressure of a fourth-tier demon king emanating from the corpse of the two-headed earth dragon.
Not only her, but also the phantom sable that had completed its contract with Lu Chensha trembled in fear immediately.
Lu Chensha couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the situation before him.
As for the newly revived divine silkworm, there was no movement.
It's not that it's not afraid.
Rather, it was already dying.
"Yes." Xu Ruyin's ancient beast-taming talisman shone with divine light, first shining it on the dying divine silkworm, injecting it with boundless vitality to stabilize its condition, and then plundering the essence of the two-headed earth dragon.
In an instant, the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman became a transit point, plundering the life essence of the two-headed earth dragon while simultaneously injecting life essence into the divine silkworm.
As can be seen, during this process, the life force of the divine silkworm, which was like a candle flickering in the wind and could be extinguished at any moment, gradually stabilized.
"Heaven cherishes life and recognizes that your growth to this point has been no easy feat. If you complete the contract with my son and become a spirit pet, I will save your life and help you advance to the True Spirit realm. What do you say?"
Lu Changsheng looked at the small snake in front of him, which was pure white with a faint golden luster, and spoke.
Lu Chensha, who had just completed the contract with the Phantom Sable and was immersed in the opportunity of forming a core under the Heavenly Dao and receiving the baptism of the "Beast Manual", was stunned.
I never imagined that my father would save this magical silkworm for himself?
Although he did not know the Divine Silkworm, he overheard his father's conversation with Senior Red Lotus.
They knew this was a late-stage third-tier divine silkworm that had failed to transform into a true spirit bloodline.
How could I possibly be qualified to form a contract with someone of this level?
Even though the "Beast Technique" he cultivated was extremely domineering and could forcibly enslave demonic beasts, it was still difficult for him to withstand a third-tier divine silkworm.
Xu Ruyin, who was standing next to her, was also somewhat surprised.
I never expected Lu Changsheng to be so generous to his son.
The silkworm, resembling a small snake, looked at Lu Chensha beside it, not very satisfied.
How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator be qualified to become his own master?
It would be more like it was Lu Changsheng in front of me.
"Fine, if you're unwilling, then let's stop."
Lu Changsheng could tell that the divine silkworm was unwilling, so he immediately waved his hand at Xu Ruyin.
His ancestor, Master Lu, always won people over with virtue and never forced anyone.
Upon seeing the immense life force that had been injected into its body cease, the newly revived silkworm hissed and twisted its body, indicating its willingness.
Although it looked down on a minor cultivator like Lu Chensha.
But after being half-dead for so many years, they finally found a lifeline and were unwilling to let it go.
As long as he survives, how could a weak cultivator like Lu Chensha possibly enslave or become its master!
“Father, even in its weakened state, this divine silkworm is still beyond my current ability to form a contract with.”
Lu Chensha said somewhat awkwardly.
"It's alright. His spiritual cultivation is too high; we can just cut off some of it," Lu Changsheng said casually.
He naturally knew that his son's soul, which was only at the initial stage of Core Formation, was unable to form a contract with a late-stage third-tier divine silkworm.
But he said that, of course, he had a solution.
"Slay?"
Not only land dust and sand.
Honglian and Xu Ruyin, who were standing nearby, were both stunned by these words.
Although the cultivation world has secret methods to sever the cultivation level and realm of others.
However, such methods are often extremely domineering and can easily cause serious damage to the other party.
Furthermore, demonic beasts are different from cultivators.
The physical body, demonic power, and divine soul are almost one, making it impossible to sever the individual divine soul.
"Since you have chosen to agree, then I will sever some of your cultivation and soul to grow up alongside my son."
Lu Changsheng was only interested in this divine silkworm because of its potential for continuous evolution.
I want to try to cultivate it into a true spirit and see how far my son Lu Chensha's "Beast Manual" can go.
He has no shortage of resources now and is willing to splurge a little more on his children.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changsheng activated the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture, and black and white light surged at his fingertips, gradually forming a millstone shaped like a spinning top.
A massive millstone of yin and yang chaos!
This supernatural power has the effect of reversing yin and yang, reversing the universe, and annihilating all laws.
It can crush the cultivation level of others.
If facing a fourth-tier demon king, Lu Changsheng would find it difficult to maintain precise control and manage to crush its cultivation without harming its physical body.
If you replace it with a third-tier divine silkworm, it will be much simpler.
However, Lu Changsheng remained very cautious.
So as not to accidentally crush the divine silkworm to death.
"Hiss hiss hiss—" The silkworm, resembling a small snake, hissed unwillingly.
This cultivation level, which it had spent a hundred years to achieve, is now being gradually eroded away.
Under the influence of the Yin-Yang Chaotic Millstone, it dared not move rashly, lest it be crushed to death by Lu Changsheng.
After a long while, Lu Changsheng reduced the Divine Silkworm's cultivation level from the late stage of the third tier to the early stage.
Its appearance was withered and shrunken, like a silkworm, motionless as it received the life force infused by the ancient beast-taming talisman.
At this moment, it didn't know whether agreeing to submit to Lu Chensha was a good thing or a bad thing.
With Lu Changsheng as his father, the other party was powerless to resist.
The shadowy weasel standing nearby trembled at the sight, finding it utterly ruthless.
"Come on, Dust and Sand," Lu Changsheng called to his son, signaling him to enslave and form a contract with the divine silkworm before him.
"Thank you, Father." Lu Chensha looked at the divine silkworm in front of him, feeling as if he were in a dream.
Xu Ruyin watched this scene with mixed feelings, her emotions were very complicated.
In her early years, when she saw that Lu Changsheng named his son Chensha (尘沙), she thought that he regarded his son as dust and sand and did not care about him at all.
However, as time went by, she discovered that Lu Changsheng still valued his son quite a bit, and bestowed upon him a rare celestial insect.
Now, it's about helping to tame and contract the third-tier demon king, the Phantom Sable.
He used the life essence of a fourth-order demon king to heal a third-order divine silkworm, and spent a great deal of magic power to cut off the divine silkworm's cultivation, so that his son could contract a spirit pet and improve his "Beast Technique".
Such a gesture is nothing short of extravagant.
It practically paved the way for his son's future path to becoming a Nascent Soul.
Not just her.
Even Honglian, a former Nascent Soul True Monarch, couldn't help but marvel at Lu Changsheng's generosity.
But she couldn't help but wonder if Lu Changsheng's care for Lu Chensha was related to Xu Yatou.
After all, Xu Ruyin is no ordinary person now.
As the reincarnation of a great cultivator, and having completely mastered the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman, his future Nascent Soul stage is almost a certainty.
Immediately, with Xu Ruyin's help, Lu Chensha successfully formed a contract with the divine silkworm in front of him.
"boom!"
After completing the contract with the Phantom Sable, Lu Chensha encountered the opportunity of forming a core in the Heavenly Dao, feeling that his cultivation had reached a point where it could not be improved further.
Now, by forming a contract with the divine silkworm again, he, who had reached a point where he could not advance any further, took another step forward under the operation of the Heavenly Beast Dao Foundation and the radiant glow of the sunset.
Feeling the surging, indescribable power coursing through his body and magic, he felt better than ever before, able to easily defeat his previous self.
"Ruyin, this two-headed earth dragon is for you. After you completely revive the divine silkworm, see if it can completely complete its bloodline transformation."
Lu Changsheng said to Xu Ruyin.
He then said to his son, "Chensha, you should focus on consolidating your cultivation level these days and see if this divine silkworm can complete its bloodline transformation before attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage. There's no need to rush to break through just for the Heavenly Dao Core Formation opportunity."
The opportunity to form a core through the Heavenly Dao is extremely rare in the eyes of other cultivators; it is a top-tier opportunity that is hard to come by.
If one follows this mysterious energy, it is enough to increase the probability of forming a core by 30%.
But for Old Master Lu, it was just an ordinary meal.
There's no need to take it too seriously or care too much.
If this divine silkworm can successfully complete its bloodline transformation and reach the True Spirit level...
Even if it's just a low-level True Spirit, it's enough to push his son Lu Chensha's foundation to an exaggerated level.
"Thank you, Father!" Lu Chensha bowed respectfully, his heart filled with gratitude beyond words.
If the Divine Silkworm successfully completes its bloodline transformation and advances to the True Spirit level, its talent and foundation will reach an astonishing level.
In the future, one might even be able to cultivate to the late stage of Core Formation without leaving home and without any bottlenecks!
Lu Changsheng waved his hand and went to the Puppet Hall to see Qian Zhuyan.
Previously, Lu Changsheng obtained a fourth-tier puppet and eleven top-tier third-tier puppets from the storage rings of Luo Fuzi, Qingcang Zhenjun, and others.
Lu Changsheng directly handed these puppets over to Qian Zhuyan for management and integration into her puppet battle formation.
"Thank you, my lord."
Qian Zhuyan looked at the puppet in front of him, but did not feel much joy.
She has only one feeling right now: there isn't enough time, absolutely not enough time.
These puppets need to be processed and modified before they can be integrated into the puppet battle formation, which will take time.
Her previous battle puppets were severely damaged by Moro's offensive and have not yet been fully repaired, requiring time.
Over the years, Lu Changsheng has also given her a lot of materials to make puppets.
Whether it's upgrading, creating puppets, or researching puppets, all of these require time.
Now she feels like she doesn't have enough time at all and is too busy to keep up.
"It's alright, no need to rush."
Lu Changsheng noticed Qian Zhuyan's anxiety and comforted him with a smile.
He doesn't have much need for Qianzhuyan's combat strength right now.
We hope that the other party will seriously study the puppet, replicate it, and create a puppet like the Formless Puppet or the Thousand-Faced Fox Puppet.
In the future, we will train several third- and fourth-tier puppeteers for our own family.
Now that he had some free time, Lu Changsheng also took the opportunity to visit his children in the Great Dream Immortal City and the Great Dream Marsh.
Since he shifted his focus to the Great Dream Immortal City in his early years, many members of the Lu family have settled here. He has even rarely seen some of the third or fourth generations of the Lu family.
Seven days later, Bai Zhaozhao visited again.
Immediately, with Bai Zhaozhao's help, Lu Changsheng used divination to calculate information about his daughter, Mu Que.
Despite the blood ties between father and daughter, he still sensed that his daughter possessed profound and mysterious secrets, which were obscured and isolated by a certain force.
However, with the blessing of Bai Zhaozhao's destiny, Lu Changsheng broke through the layers of mist and saw some of his daughter Mu Que's situation in the river of fate.
"Mu Que received help from a noble person in the central region of the Southern Wilderness."
After much calculation, Lu Changsheng knew that his daughter was currently in the Central Region of the Southern Wilderness.
The reason for the advancement in bloodline was the assistance of a noble person.
Lu Changsheng could not predict who this benefactor was.
All they knew was that the other party was extraordinary, at least a Nascent Soul cultivator.
It's even highly likely that it's a cultivator in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
As for the late Nascent Soul stage, Lu Changsheng felt it was unlikely.
After all, late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators are among the top in the Central Region, possessing extraordinary status.
But he does not rule out this possibility.
Why would this benefactor help Mu Que? Is it related to True Lord Qingluan?
Lu Changsheng frowned, unable to discern even the slightest detail about this mysterious nobleman.
After a long while, he stopped calculating and let out a weary sigh.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Bai."
Lu Changsheng could tell from Bai Zhaozhao's tired face that he had over-calculated, causing her to expend too much energy.
"We can only wait for True Monarch Qingluan to return and inquire about this important person's situation, and why Mu Que is in the Central Region," Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
"You're too kind, True Lord."
Through the intertwining and fusion of heavenly secrets and destiny just now, Bai Zhaozhao has determined that the Yangming True Lord in front of her is an anomaly!
She took this anomaly very seriously.
"The True Lord previously said that he had many things to do and therefore had no time to attend to the great calamity of the demonic path. I wonder if there is anything Zhaozhao can do to help?"
Although Bai Zhaozhao did not know the specifics of Lu Changsheng's calculations, she could sense the general outline.
For example, when calculating the destiny of the Azure Phoenix True Lord, he realized that he was calculating the destiny of a woman with karmic ties.
Just now, when I was calculating Mu Que, I sensed that Lu Changsheng was using the bloodline medium to make the calculation.
It should be his elders, or his children and offspring.
