Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 558 - 556: Son-in-Law, You Know Arrays Too?! Mire Land, Azure Lotus! Xiyao: Are You There? It’s Urgent!

"Young master, they probably won’t catch up." Qing Yu said somewhat regretfully, "Teleportation-type array plates, even those of low tier, can compare to higher tier attack array plates."

"It’s fine, after all, I made it myself, so in terms of cost, it’s not much." Lu Ye replied calmly.

"Ah? Young master, you know array skills?!"

This time, Qing Yu truly learned of this for the first time, immediately opening her mouth in shock.

The four arts’ techniques, having touched cultivation inheritance, and having reached this realm, Qing Yu is quite familiar with.

Understanding the difficulty within, none are simple; all require significant talent and postnatal effort.

"I’ve learned a little." Lu Ye nodded, saying, "Let’s go, find the passage to the Third Layer."

"I feel that Sea Spirit Saintess might still pursue us..." Qing Yu thought for a moment, her expression somewhat odd, "I always feel, the more we run, the more excited she gets."

Lu Ye was a bit speechless, what kind of personality is that?

Shaking his head, Lu Ye said, "If she still lingers like a Yin Soul by then, I’ll make her give up the thought of continuing the chase."

This kind of escape using array plates, Lu Ye would only do once.

If he encounters Sea Spirit Saintess again, if she insists on making a move, he can only reciprocate.

The Second Layer territory is vast, the two were heading towards the entrance to the Third Layer, spending the next few hours on their journey.

Moreover, after entering the Second Layer, the number of battles encountered was notably more than those in the First Layer.

Almost every few thousand miles, they could see fierce battles among cultivators fighting over cultivation resources.

Along the way, the number of corpses had also increased.

The brutality of Mist Heaven Hall began to gradually reveal itself after reaching the Second Layer.

Among these fallen cultivators, a few were somewhat familiar to Lu Ye, as they had been waiting not far from him by Yunlan River before.

...

Half a day later.

The two also found quite a few spirit medicines within the Second Layer.

In two locations, there were fierce beasts guarding, but having just advanced, Qing Yu easily handled them without Lu Ye needing to step in, causing them to flee in panic.

Knowing she had used up quite a bit of spirit medicine and elixir resources during her previous breakthroughs.

Qing Yu now was very interested in collecting resources.

After gathering them, she cheerfully handed them to Lu Ye.

Meanwhile, also within the Second Layer, at another location, a group from Ling Yao Celestial Palace arrived at a special area.

Their location was in the middle of an immense mire, a very secluded area.

Aside from these Celestial Palace disciples, there was no one else for the time being.

However, including Sang Xiyao, everyone was quite solemn.

Because the mire contained some sort of forbidden flying restriction, making it impossible to fly over.

And within the mire, unquestionably, lurked many fierce swamp crocodiles, intently waiting to attack these newcomers.

These swamp crocodiles are not the usual Tier One or Two low tier fierce beasts from the outside world.

Even a random one picked out would be at least Tier Four!

Tiers Five and Six are not in short supply either.

It’s such a dangerous place with significant restrictions that Sang Xiyao and the others are unwilling to leave because...

In the area beyond the mire, there’s a small lake, and in this lake, grows a patch of Tianqing lotus!

Tianqing lotus, a Tier Six spirit medicine, its seeds can be consumed directly without being refined into elixirs, clearly enhancing the realm of Earth Realm cultivators and those below!

Moreover, Sang Xiyao even vaguely noticed two fully advanced Tianqing spirit lotuses reaching Tier Seven within that patch!

Adding a "spirit" character makes the effect more terrifying, tempting even Celestial Realm cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Xi Yao, this mire land is incredibly dangerous, with severe forbidden flying restrictions, forcing us to face those swamp crocodiles if we wish to enter, or... perhaps we should forget it?"

A Celestial Palace disciple carefully examined the situation and finally suggested.

Though Tianqing lotus is wonderful, it’s clear this mire land is also an absolute death zone.

With any carelessness, they could become food for the swarm of swamp crocodiles!

Yet many Celestial Palace disciples showed a keen longing for the Tianqing lotus in that lake.

It’s the ultimate heavenly material and earthly treasure!

"It’s just a group of crocodiles confined to the mire, no need to be overly cautious; if we form a good formation, there’s a significant chance to rush through." An early Earth Realm cultivator said, sporting a mark on his face.

This statement stirred interest within more than half of the dozen Celestial Palace members present.

Unexpectedly, after a glance, Sang Xiyao gravely said, "You only see the crocodiles before us, have you considered that in the lake... there might also be something?"

"If we really want to make a move, my suggestion is to find someone as assistance, which can reduce many dangers."

Upon hearing this, the group was taken aback, simultaneously feeling a chill in their hearts, realizing they’d overlooked the lake’s depth.

If there’s something unknown within the lake... they could be attacked from both sides.

However, soon, someone understood Sang Xiyao’s intention; she was suggesting that with just their current strength, venturing inside would be highly risky.

But if they find that person, it could reduce the danger?

Who could it be?

Curious, a Celestial Palace member asked, "Xiyao Fairy, who is this person you’re referring to? If he has such a capability, it would indeed be worthwhile to invite him."

"By distributing rewards based on contributions, whoever contributes the most takes the largest share, which is better than everyone seeing but unable to acquire anything."

This suggestion received unanimous nods from the dozen Celestial Palace disciples present.

It’s reasonable.

Getting even a little is still better than just watching helplessly.

After a moment of contemplation, Sang Xiyao said, "This person, I believe you all are familiar with, is... Chen Beixuan."

Not mentioning the commotion and various rumors Chen Beixuan caused upon joining Celestial Palace.

Just his subtle domination over the proud Sea Spirit Hall Saintess by Yunlan River previously was enough for them to be acquainted.

Indeed, upon hearing his name, many had a moment of realization.

If that person comes... it would indeed increase their chances significantly!

To stand and clash with Sea Spirit Hall Saintess’s domain, even initially holding the upper hand, he must be a proper Celestial Realm cultivator!

"Great! If Fellow Daoist Chen can come, that would be perfect, I have no objections."

"Neither do I."

Immediately, Sang Xiyao nodded, taking out her Communication Jade Token, and sent a message to Lu Ye...

"Are you there? Are you there... it’s urgent!"
