"Mother …??!" Yue Mingjuan cried out in distress.
Liu 'er stood up from the side and said softly, "Let me do it." At the same time, she gave Lu Sheng a comforting look.
This trip allowed her to gain a more three-dimensional and comprehensive understanding of the powerful and domineering sect master of the Four Seas Sect. She was no longer as fearful and fearful of him as she was before. After learning about Mu Yun's life, she looked at this man with more of a sense of peace.
"…" Lu Sheng knew that this was not something he could resolve. After a moment of silence, he nodded lightly.
There were some things that could not be redeemed with mere strength and power. He suddenly understood, and at the same time, he did not.
…
…
Lu Sheng and Liu 'er spent the entire afternoon dealing with Yue Xingzhu's matter.
In truth, he did not spend much time with the mother and daughter. He spent most of his time thinking about how to change their lives so that they could live better lives.
Lu Sheng had the Mermaid Clan's small force here accept Yue Xingzhu's daughter, Yue Mingjuan, as their disciple. He also gave the two of them jade pendants that could protect them three times. Then, he turned around and left.
With this, Lu Sheng's karma with his family was completely resolved. Next, it was time for him to deal with the real problem — the Vital Energy Sect.
Lu Sheng heard some news along the way. There were rumors about the recent incidents at the borders, the reappearance of the Ancient Devil, the passing of the Buddhist holy monk, and so on.
The news spread quickly, one after another.
The Vital Energy Sect did not make any moves. Instead, the various sects, be it the Righteous Path, Wicked Path, or Devil Path, all made their moves and fought each other. The situation was chaotic.
When Lu Sheng broke through to the Middle-stage Nascent Soul realm, he spent more than 3,000 Mental Energy units. For safety's sake, he decided to break through as much as he could before making his move.
Therefore, he and Liu 'er settled down in a small town when they were a thousand miles away from the Vital Energy Sect's main altar. He started breaking through to the Late-stage Nascent Soul realm.
…
Inside the inn's suite.
Lu Sheng held a cup of Zhuangyuan Red and looked out the window at the crowded stage below. He slowly sipped his wine as he watched the show. Yue Xingzhu's matter from before still made him feel uneasy. He had never felt such emotions before. It was a strange and helpless feeling.
This inn was luxuriously decorated. These days, in order to promote the inn's new branch and expand its influence and popularity, they had hired people to build a stage and invited a few troupes to take turns to perform.
The moonlight shone on the floor of the suite through the window.
While watching the show, Lu Sheng used his inner vision to observe the changes taking place in his body.
Deep Blue's derivation had already begun. From the middle stage to the late stage, he had expended more than 5,000 units of Mental Energy.
However, the process of this deduction was a little long. From the beginning until now, it had already been more than two hours.
Lu Sheng was still waiting.
'In terms of power alone, the Nascent Soul Tier is actually already equivalent to the Divine Lord Tier. The late stage of the Nascent Soul Tier … roughly speaking, it should correspond to the Divine Intellect Tier of a Divine Lord. I'm currently stuck at the Jade Star Tier, and I haven't been able to make any progress. I'll have to see if the Nascent Soul can overcome this hurdle first. "
Although this world had the power of special Spirit Qi, Great Yin did not.
Hence, if the Nascent Soul Tier cultivators here were in Great Yin, they might not be able to replenish themselves due to the lack of power like Spirit Qi. They might not even be able to maintain their existence after releasing their Spirit Qi.
However, the Nascent Soul Tier's increase in the strength of one's spirit and mental power was a solid improvement.
This was especially true for the Nascent Soul Tier's Spirit Qi. They could easily manipulate the various types of Spirit Qi in the air to form various harsh environments.
These conditions were crucial for Lu Sheng to test the nature of his core technique, Dark Flame, and Yin Flame.
After discovering this use, Lu Sheng gradually unlocked more of his main body's abilities. Hence, in his boredom, his research on the nature of Yin Flame grew at a terrifying speed.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, Yin Yang, and so on. This world's various elemental energies filled the air. Although Lu Sheng only had an affinity with seawater, it was not impossible for him to forcefully manipulate other elements by expending some of his supernatural power.
After a few short days of traveling, Lu Sheng felt that his Jade Star Divine Lord cultivation base was finally showing signs of loosening.
His spirit's quality had already reached the requirement, but because his tier was not up to par, he could not break through to Divine Intellect.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang."
The urgent sound of a gong below immediately interrupted Lu Sheng's thoughts.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that the performance on the stage below had ended. The citizens who were watching the performance had also dispersed.
Lu Sheng finished the wine in his hand in one gulp. When he looked inside his body again, he was surprised to find that the derivation had finally ended.
'So this is the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm …' Lu Sheng felt the stiffness in his body that he had not felt for a long time.
He looked at the frame on Deep Blue's interface before him.
"Nether Collection, late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Special trait: 9,999 times Nascent Qi. Affinity with the ocean. Mystic Water Divine Vein."
'Oh? I have the Mystic Water Divine Vein? ' Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. With his current height and tier, there were not many things that could shock him. However, this Mystic Water Divine Vein was definitely one of them.
He had seen the relevant records of this Divine Vein in the many inherited secret tomes of the Sea Tribes.
The Divine Vein referred to a special ability that did not require any supernatural power to be consumed. It could be activated and withdrawn with a single thought.
This special ability could only produce a special transformation when one's supernatural power had reached a certain level. No one knew how this thing came about. However, the Divine Vein itself did exist. This was undeniable.
However, what shocked Lu Sheng was not this. Instead, he noticed that there was a dark blue, diamond-shaped, flower-like pattern on the back of his left hand.
Not only that, but the same Divine Vein had also appeared on the back of his hand that was curled up in the depths of his heart.
'It's recorded in the secret tomes that if there are enough Divine Veins, they'll eventually form a God Position … They'll be able to follow the rules and control a portion of the laws of nature.' Lu Sheng was filled with anticipation.
Previously, he was feeling a little pained that he had spent too much on his body in this world, to the point where he could barely make ends meet. However, now that he had obtained this Mystic Water Divine Vein, he felt that he had probably profited from this trip.
'My supernatural power has expanded to almost ten thousand times. It's practically a monstrous force. My affinity with the ocean hasn't changed, but I've gained the Mystic Water Divine Vein. This should be the greatest difference between the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and the other tiers. '
Lu Sheng was deep in thought. All the great cultivators recorded in the ancient books, cultivators at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and above almost all had various strange marks on their bodies.
Now, it did not seem like it was a coincidence.
'Let's test the effect.' He muttered to himself for a moment. He first familiarized himself with the new supernatural power that had skyrocketed in his body. Then, he willed the teapot on the table.
"Hiss …"
Tea immediately flew out from the spout and hovered in midair before Lu Sheng. It condensed into a ball of water.
Lu Sheng naturally knew how to use the Divine Vein. He only needed to inject a bit of his spirit's power into it.
"Not enough water." The Divine Vein suddenly displayed a scene. It was like a container that contained water. Only when it was filled with enough water could it activate the container's function.
Lu Sheng understood with a single glance that the Divine Vein still lacked enough water. Moreover, it needed an extremely large amount of water.
He muttered to himself for a moment, then casually pointed at the air in front of him.
Immediately, the Divine Vein on the back of his hand shone with blue light.
In an instant, a large amount of light blue seawater surged out from behind Lu Sheng. It formed four lines of water, and gathered madly into the ball of water in midair.
There was no container, nor were there any other Arts or methods.
Lu Sheng merely activated the Divine Vein. Then, he watched as the ball of water before him rapidly absorbed a large amount of seawater. However, its volume did not change in the slightest.
"This is …!" This was the first time he had seen such a strange phenomenon. He could not understand it at all.
"No wonder Deep Blue took so long to derive …" Lu Sheng felt very strange at this moment. He could clearly see every step and process ripple of the Divine Vein's circulation. However, these steps and ripples were too complicated. He could understand them individually, but when they were all grouped together, he was dumbfounded.
It felt as if he was using elementary school knowledge to forcibly understand how an aircraft carrier was built. It was so exaggerated …
He suddenly felt that Deep Blue's derivation was far more advanced than he was by countless years …
"Hiss … hiss …"
Seawater surged out endlessly from the Sea-overturning Orb and surged into the ball of water before Lu Sheng.
The ball of water maintained its fist-sized size. However, its color gradually darkened from its initial dark blue color.
Perhaps ten tons, twenty tons, a hundred tons, or even a thousand tons of seawater surged into the ball of water. The ball of water grew darker and darker. A strange attractive force was gradually released from the surface of the ball of water.
Lu Sheng's gaze was involuntarily attracted to the ball of water before him. He stared closely at the faint ripples inside the ball of water. The ripples seemed to be combining and crisscrossing to form the outline of something.
"This is …" Lu Sheng could not help but move closer. He wanted to see more clearly through the blurry blue color.
Countless blue lines scuttled and flowed madly inside the ball of water. They were like the sketches of countless twisting painters, but also like many simple sediments in the sea. They gathered at times and scattered at others, but they always swam like living creatures.
"This is!!?" Suddenly, Lu Sheng felt that something was wrong.
The black lines gathered faster and faster, and the pattern they formed became clearer and more distinct.
"Hiss …"
The ball of water began to tremble slightly. It let out a strange whistling sound that resembled the sound of air being torn apart.
Suddenly, Lu Sheng felt as if his fingers had come into contact with something unique and cold. He was about to lower his head to take a look when he suddenly saw the ball of water before him undergo a great change.
"Buzz …"
All the water in the ball of water was compressed and condensed. Countless black lines suddenly condensed into a point amidst the blue-black darkness inside the ball of water.
Within the pitch-black dot, a beautiful dark blue eye slowly opened. It stared at Lu Sheng through the ball of water.
