Chapter 335: Chapter 153: The Seven Luminaries Stars Sword, 2nd Transformation Peach Blossom Gu!_1
Lady Meng arrived at the Qingyun Market and began to inquire about the recent circumstances of her grandson, Meng Yibai.
And whether anything had happened within the marketplace.
Since the Qingyun Market was established by the Qingyun Sect,
she, as a False Core Immortal, naturally found it quite effortless to obtain this kind of information.
Before long, she had a general understanding of her grandson’s recent situation and the latest developments in the marketplace.
Among these, she sharply picked up on a piece of information.
Xiao Xiyue was making her attempt at Foundation Establishment in the Qingyun Market.
Moreover, Xiao Xiyue was not attempting Foundation Establishment alone.
She was also co-renting a cave dwelling with a man to make the attempt.
Upon learning this news, Lady Meng realized in her heart that her grandson’s death from an external conflict could very well be related to this matter.
She knew her grandson’s temperament very well,
and was aware of his pursuit of Xiao Xiyue.
It was she who first brought it up,
hoping her grandson could take Fairy Xi Yue as his cultivation partner.
If her grandson knew that Xiao Xiyue had come to the Qingyun Market for Foundation Establishment, he would surely go to offer his congratulations.
But upon seeing Xiao Xiyue being intimate with another man, sharing a room, feelings of jealousy and even murderous intent towards the man would surely arise.
“Xiao Xiyue.”
Lady Meng’s complexion turned somewhat unsightly.
Unexpectedly, the matter had somehow become entangled with Xiao Xiyue.
The lead pointed back to Xiao Xiyue.
However, even knowing the matter was related to Xiao Xiyue and could be investigated through her, she dared not go to Xiao Xiyue to inquire.
For one, she herself was not in the right in this matter.
If a man could share a room and attempt Foundation Establishment with Xiao Xiyue, even if they were not cultivation partners, their relationship was certainly not shallow.
In such a situation, her grandson getting into trouble due to jealousy and meeting his demise was simply courting death.
Seeking her out herself might even offend Xiao Xiyue.
She was certainly not afraid of Xiao Xiyue,
but Xiao Xiyue’s status was special.
She had Yun Wanshang, a Core Formation Master, as her mentor.
Even as a False Core Immortal, she dared not offend the esteemed Caiyun True Immortal.
After all, this was a true Nascent Soul Immortal!
Especially since the Caiyun True Immortal had real power within the sect and was extremely protective of her own.
Just a year ago, she even drew swords with Chiyang Peak over matters concerning her disciple, Xiao Xiyue.
With such a temperament, Lady Meng knew she could not provoke her.
If this True Immortal of Caiyun learned of the matter and targeted her, one strike aimed at her, and she feared she would have to prepare her last rites in advance.
Furthermore, learning that the person had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment confirmed her previous suspicions.
The assailant behind her grandson’s slaying must have had someone else supporting him,
most likely a False Core Immortal, or even a Nascent Soul Immortal.
Otherwise, how could a person who had just achieved Foundation Establishment possibly defeat her grandson?
Let alone slay him.
“Sigh…”
After having a general understanding of the cause and effect, Lady Meng let out a deep sigh.
Her stature dejected, she left the Qingyun Market in her Spirit Boat, heading back to the Qingyun Sect.
She planned to spend the following days peacefully within the Qingyun Sect.
…
“This Flying Sword is indeed a bit more suited to me than the red-robed young man’s Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword,” Lu Changsheng spoke after refining Meng Yibai’s golden Flying Sword, toying with it for a while.
“But it’s also because I possess a Gengjin Body Constitution, which makes this Flying Sword more compatible with me,” he added.
“If I want to possess a truly suitable Spiritual Sword, I’ll need to employ an Artifact Refiner to forge a Spiritual Sword that encompasses both Yin and Yang and the five elements,” Lu observed.
Practicing the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, Lu Changsheng was naturally very clear about what kind of Spiritual Sword he needed to maximize his strength.
It was difficult to acquire such a Spiritual Sword through purchase or pillage, as most Flying Swords in the Cultivation World were of a single attribute or had two or three attributes.
It was rare to find one with both Yin and Yang and the five elements.
One had to commission an Artifact Refiner to forge it.
“When I have some spare money later on, I’ll hire someone to forge one,” Lu Changsheng decided as he stowed away the Flying Sword, thinking to himself.
He wasn’t too concerned about it.
This kind of Flying Sword was, after all, just a transitional Spiritual Artifact.
During the Foundation Establishment stage, his Life-bound Spiritual Artifact was the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp.
Once this lamp was forged, his strength could rise to another level.
As for the Flying Sword,
when he broke through to Core Formation, within the third level of the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, there was a set called ‘Seven Luminaries Stars Sword’, consisting of Magical Treasures Flying Swords of various different attributes.
He could forge the Sun Solar Sword, the Lunar Solar Sword, the Venus Solar Sword, the Jupiter Solar Sword, the Saturn Solar Sword, the Mars Solar Sword, and the Terran Solar Sword, seven Magical Treasures Flying Swords of differing attributes.
This set of Magical Treasures Flying Swords, when paired with the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, complimented each other perfectly, amplifying their power significantly.
They could also turn into sixty-four sword shadows to form the Seven Luminaries Star Sword Formation.
Once this sword formation was complete, even at the Initial Stage of Core Formation, he could easily suppress a Mid Nascent Soul Stage, and might even overpower someone at the Core Formation Late Stage.
“Still, I’m only at Foundation Establishment, and Magical Treasures are far beyond my reach,” Lu Changsheng shook his head, not dwelling further on the subject.
He took out a Jade Slip map, poured his Mana into it, and checked his current location.
He was about two days’ travel from Qingzhu Mountain.
“Although the spiteful spirit threads have been refined, I still don’t know if Meng Yibai’s False Core elder has any other means to track me down. Therefore, to be safe, I better wander outside for a while longer, not hurrying back to Qingzhu Mountain, to avoid attracting trouble,” he pondered.
After checking the map, Lu Changsheng decided to spend the next ten days to half a month observing the surroundings before returning.
Confirming that Meng Yibai’s elder could not find him was prudent before going back.
Otherwise, involving Qingzhu Mountain and the Hongye Marketplace would be unfortunate.
“Sigh, it seems I really must limit my excursions,” he reflected.
