Establish a long-lived family from the son-in-law

Chapter 919 Reunion with Shen Yiren, the Illusion of the Inner Demon!

"Yu Ning, you've had a hard time on this trip. You should go and rest now."

Shen Jianjia led Lu Changsheng and the others to a grand hall in the Goddess Palace and spoke to Qin Yuning.

"Yes, Master." Qin Yuning knew that her master had important matters to discuss with this Changsheng Zhenjun, so she bowed and took her leave.

"I ordered Yu Ning to go to the Great Dream Immortal City to visit True Lord Lu, mainly for my younger sister's sake."

Shen Jianjia, dressed in a dress shimmering with starlight, sat gracefully in the main seat.

Her stunning beauty seemed to belong to another world, pure and untouched by the dust and grime of the world.

Yet her beautiful eyes held an indescribable nobility, grace, and majesty, like those of an empress reigning over the world.

"When I left that day, I promised that once I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, I would come to the Goddess Palace to marry her. Now that I have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, even if the Grand Palace Master has not sent a message, I, Lu, will still come to visit the Goddess Palace."

Lu Changsheng spoke calmly, without mentioning the White Dew Palace matter in detail.

He suffered a great loss that day.

However, Shen Jianjia, the goddess and grand palace master, ultimately showed mercy and did not go too far.

Moreover, this goddess palace master probably also dislikes him immensely.

It was only for his younger sister, Shen Yiren, that he was willing to put this matter aside and speak to him calmly.

Under these circumstances, Lu Changsheng naturally would no longer hold Shen Baishuang's matter against him.

Put Shen Yiren's matter first, try your best to turn hostility into friendship, and become one family.

Shen Jianjia remained silent for a few moments before speaking, "If Yiren agrees, I, as her older sister, naturally have no objections."

Under normal circumstances, she would not want to marry her younger sister to a reincarnated cultivator like Lu Changsheng.

But the eldest sister is like a mother.

She had an excellent understanding of her younger sister Shen Yiren's personality.

Knowing about the events at Bailu Palace had a profound impact on her younger sister, causing her to develop a mental block and become trapped in a psychological state.

Therefore, over the years, she has always disagreed with her younger sister's attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, hoping that her sister could achieve enlightenment.

Informing Lu Changsheng now is out of necessity; the one who tied the knot must untie it.

I hope Lu Changsheng can help his sister resolve her inner conflict and overcome her mental obstacles.

"However, I have a question."

Shen Jianjia and Lu Changsheng looked at each other and spoke.

The incident at Bailu Palace that day was, although it was my younger sister Shen Baishuang's problem.

But in her view, Lu Changsheng's disguise and infiltration of her Goddess Palace were also plotting something sinister.

"Please speak, Grand Palace Master," Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

"Why did Lu Zhenjun come to my Goddess Palace in the first place?"

Shen Jianjia's eyes were clear as she stared straight at Lu Changsheng, the plum blossom mark between her brows gleaming as she judged the truthfulness of his words.

Lu Changsheng had already guessed that Shen Jianjia would ask this question, and said calmly, "First, I want to inquire about the whereabouts of my son Zhao Wuzhen through your palace; second, I want to see if I can use your sect's spiritual veins to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Shen Jianjia stared into Lu Changsheng's eyes, her face expressionless.

This was the same excuse Lu Changsheng used when he joined the Goddess Palace.

Now, the only change is that the family members are now called "my son".

After staring at him for a moment, she couldn't detect any sign of lying in Lu Changsheng's eyes or expression.

However, she does not rule out the possibility that the other party is lying and deceiving her.

After all, although Lu Changsheng in front of her was a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, according to her judgment, he was a reincarnation of a great cultivator, and was by no means as simple as he appeared on the surface.

It might even be an old monster who has lived longer than himself.

Knowing that his words lacked credibility, Lu Changsheng continued, "I suppose the Grand Palace Master has guessed that I am not an ordinary cultivator, but a reincarnation of a great cultivator."

"Although Lu awakened his past life memories, the memories were vague and he lacked a reliable opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, he came to the Starry Sea through a mysterious connection."

"As for my son Zhao Wuzhen's matter, I asked your clan to inquire about it before. Your clan should know that this matter is not a fabrication."

Lu Changsheng looked calmly at Shen Jianjia, who sat gracefully in the main seat.

He thought to himself, "This Goddess Palace truly lives up to its name as a goddess palace."

The three sisters are all goddesses, especially Shen Jianjia in front of us!
If only the three sisters could be brought together.
Lu Changsheng immediately cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts.

He thought to himself that he had come here to marry the other party's sister, so how could he enter someone's garden and think about someone's melons, or tease someone's child and think about someone's mother?

Moreover, this goddess palace master is a top cultivator in the Starry Sea, a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant, who was once pursued by the Starry Sea's number one demonic cultivator, "Six Paths Demon Lord," now a giant of the Pill Alliance and the Starry Sea's number one alchemist.

Even with his exceptional charm, winning her over and making her the mother of his child would be extremely difficult.

Especially his relationship with Shen Yiren and Shen Baishuang, and his desire to have a close relationship with this goddess palace master and know her inside and out, is several times more difficult than for ordinary people.

Shen Jianjia nodded slightly.

Although Shen Yiren and Shen Baishuang helped to investigate Zhao Wuzhen's matter.

But she also had a general idea.

"Old Demon Wugu, is the matter between you and True Monarch Shi Hai related to True Monarch Lu?"

Shen Jianjia looked at Lu Changsheng in front of her, parted her red lips slightly, and asked.

The previous incident involving Wumo Island and Shi Hai Zhenjun caused quite a stir in Xingxiu Sea.

The two of them happened to have some connection with Zhao Wuzhen, which made her wonder if the matter between Wugu Laomo and Shihai Zhenjun was related to Lu Changsheng in front of her.

If the two were killed by Lu Changsheng, it would be quite astonishing.

“This was done by his uncle, not by me,” Lu Changsheng said.

"Uncle?" Shen Jianjia's eyes narrowed slightly as she wondered about the background of Lu Changsheng.

Not only is he a reincarnation of a great cultivator, but he also has a brother-in-law with profound abilities.

It should be noted that both the Black Bone Demon and the Stone Sea True Monarch are Nascent Soul cultivators.

The killing of two Nascent Soul cultivators is a major event anywhere.

Especially according to intelligence, the Old Demon of Black Bones was forcibly destroyed and killed on the island, which is terrifying.

"Wu Zhen's Kunpeng Demon Art was taught to him by his uncle."

Lu Changsheng didn't explain much, and said calmly, "So Palace Master Shen can rest assured that I have no designs on your Goddess Palace. Joining the Goddess Palace was simply a matter of fate."

Shen Jianjia continuously used her supernatural powers to discern the truthfulness of Lu Changsheng's words.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be telling the truth, I felt a little relieved.

As long as Lu Changsheng in front of her has no ill intentions towards her Goddess Palace, everything else is negotiable.

As for the Kunpeng Demon Art, the mysterious uncle, the Heaven-Reaching Treasure, and the whereabouts of the Kunpeng Egg, she didn't care.

"In that case, Lord Lu, come with me to see my little sister."

Shen Jianjia didn't ask any more questions and said, "The reason I invited Lord Lu here is that I am troubled by a mental block. I hope Lord Lu can take a look and help me untangle this knot in my heart and break through this mental block."

"Otherwise, if this continues, she will miss the best opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Although it is said that the physical condition of a Core Formation cultivator will gradually decline after the age of 350, thus affecting the probability of Nascent Soul Formation.

However, it's always better to break through to the Nascent Soul stage as early as possible.

Delaying for too long will affect not only your age and physical condition, but also your state of mind.

Someone like Shen Yiren could have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The breakthrough has been delayed simply to be as cautious as possible.

If we delay any longer, it may affect the probability of achieving the Nascent Soul stage.

"Please rest assured, Grand Palace Master, I have come here for this very reason."

Lu Changsheng said seriously, having already guessed about Shen Yiren's situation.

Otherwise, given the events at Bailu Palace, why would this Grand Palace Mistress of the Goddess invite me to the Goddess Palace?
"A-Gui, Ling-Jing, you two rest here. I'll come over when I'm done."

Lu Changsheng said to the Turtle Immortal Ancestor and Lu Lingjing beside him.

Since he was going to see Shen Yiren, it was naturally inconvenient to bring the two demons with him.

"You two may go to the guest rooms to rest."

Shen Jianjia thought to herself that Lu Changsheng was really confident.

They went to Goddess Peak without their steward or spirit pet.

However, thinking of the other party's powerful magical treasure and the news from the Jiang Kingdom, she felt relieved, knowing that the other party was full of confidence in their strength.

Or rather, before they even clashed, there was an absolute gap between them, and most Nascent Soul cultivators were full of confidence in their supernatural abilities.

Lu Changsheng and Shen Jianjia arrived at Goddess Peak, Shen Yiren's palace.

He also wanted to inquire about his son, Shen Yuanming.

However, considering Shen Jianjia's lukewarm attitude towards him, he was wary and cautious, and decided to deal with Shen Yiren's matter first.

"elder sister."

Upon hearing that her sister had arrived, Shen Yiren immediately came out of seclusion.

Seventeen years later, Lu Changsheng meets Shen Yiren again.

Although she was still dressed in the same elegant light green dress as before, and her appearance was exquisitely beautiful, Lu Changsheng felt that she looked much more haggard.

Or rather, it lacks that tranquil elegance, that serene and peaceful charm, like a leisurely figure emerging from a misty rain painting, and has gained a touch of coldness.

However, perhaps because of the birth of her son Shen Yuanming, she styled her hair up, and her eyebrows and eyes showed a touch of mature charm, like a willow swaying on the water, graceful and captivating.

"Sister, who is this?"

Shen Yiren felt that Lu Changsheng's appearance and temperament were somewhat familiar, but she did not recognize him as the former Xuanmu Daoist.

"Great Palace Master, may I have a chance to be alone with her?"

Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to Shen Jianjia, feeling that she was acting as a third wheel and affecting his performance.

Shen Jianjia was silent for a moment before speaking, "Little sister, this is Lu Zhenjun, formerly a guest elder, Xuanmu Daoren. He has come to the Goddess Palace today to visit you and wishes to meet you. Would you like to catch up with him?"

"Xuanmu Daoist!?"

Shen Yiren's delicate body trembled slightly, and her expression suddenly froze. She realized why Lu Changsheng in front of her seemed somewhat familiar.

Her facial features bear a resemblance to her son, Shen Yuanming.

His gentle and refined temperament, reminiscent of a jade tree orchid, is somewhat similar to that of the former Taoist Xuanmu.

Shen Yiren stared blankly at Lu Changsheng, who was dressed in a long blue robe and had a handsome face.

Unexpectedly, Xuanmu Daoist came to the Goddess Palace to find him.

She had very complicated feelings towards Xuanmu Daoren.

Although there is a good impression, it is only a good impression; there is still a long way to go before love and marriage.

But his second sister...
The events at Bailu Palace back then often surfaced in her mind, lingering there.

As time passed, things gradually calmed down.

However, the incident at Bailu Palace still had a great impact on her.

My heart is filled with confusion, helplessness, pain, resentment, and also guilt towards Xuanmu Daoren.

In her opinion, the fault in the Bailu Palace incident did not lie with him, but with her second sister, Shen Baishuang.

Xuanmu Daoist and I are both victims, completely innocent.

Now, seventeen years have passed, and her son Shen Yuanming has grown up. Her feelings for Xuanmu Daoren have also fermented in this process, becoming more complicated.

It was so complicated that even she couldn't figure it out.

Sometimes, I hope that the other person will break through to the Nascent Soul stage and come to the Goddess Palace to find me, as promised.

Sometimes, when I think back to what happened at Bailu Palace, I wish that the other person would never appear again.

"My dear, you have suffered so much these years, you have become so thin."

Lu Changsheng felt pity for Shen Yiren and stepped forward to take her hand, wanting to comfort her.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, please have some self-respect."

Shen Yiren subconsciously took a step back to avoid Lu Changsheng's palm.

Although Lu Changsheng was the former Xuanmu Daoist, his appearance was completely unfamiliar to her.

Furthermore, aside from the intimate relationship that developed in the White Dew Palace under the influence of the Fairy's Tears in their early years, the two were always very polite to each other.

Now, Lu Changsheng wants to hold her hand the moment they meet, which she finds unacceptable.

Lu Changsheng possesses a late-stage Nascent Soul soul, allowing him to subtly perceive Shen Yiren's emotional fluctuations and her accelerated heartbeat.

I know that the other person is not rejecting me or has no feelings for me, but rather it's just their personality.

"My dear, I apologize for my intrusion."

He immediately said apologetically, "I heard that you haven't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet. I guess you might be affected by what happened back then and have some inner conflict. So I came here to help you resolve this obstacle in your heart."

Do you remember the words I spoke when I left, the promise I made?

Old Ancestor Lu spoke with deep affection and sincerity in his eyes.

As he spoke, his handsome face blurred for a moment, transforming into the appearance of the former Xuanmu Daoist, refined and handsome.

Shen Yiren pursed her pink lips and remained silent, naturally remembering the words Xuanmu Daoist had said when he left.

But she had very complicated feelings about this relationship.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng, the Xuanmu Daoist, appeared before her, making her even more flustered.

“If you are unwilling, I will not force you, but you have a mental block and have not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. I cannot sit idly by.”

Lu Changsheng and Shen Yiren looked at each other and continued speaking in a gentle voice.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanmu, you owe her nothing for what happened in the past, there’s no need for this.”

Shen Yiren lightly bit her red lips and shook her head, saying, "As for mental knots or obstacles, I don't have such a situation. I haven't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet; I just haven't made full preparations."

"That's good!" Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked with delight, "Yiren, when do you plan to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"I previously broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and gained some opportunities. Perhaps I can help you, Yiren, to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and further improve the quality of your Nascent Soul."

"..." Shen Yiren was somewhat at a loss when faced with Lu Changsheng's undisguised enthusiasm.

How come Fellow Daoist Xuanmu has become so reckless after all these years?

If it weren't for the similar temperament and disguise, she might not have recognized her at all.

Moreover, are their feelings for each other really that deep?

Shen Yiren was in a daze, and said softly, "I'm almost ready. I'm going into seclusion these days to completely break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"With your talent, I naturally believe that you will have no problem breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "But the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation are dangerous. Back then, True Person Jingqing perished under the Heart Demon Tribulation. When I was breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, my Heart Demon also transformed into your appearance. The process was extremely dangerous, and I almost failed. So we must not be careless."

"Under the tribulation of inner demons, I comprehended a secret technique that can stir up the inner demons of others, and even create a demonic illusion. You should try it, get used to it in advance, and make some preparations."

Besides the "Devouring God Technique" soul cultivation method, Lu Changsheng also won a soul cultivation method called "Six Desires Heart Demon Technique" in a lottery in his early years.

This cultivation method utilizes the seven emotions and six desires.

If one cultivates to a high level, it can suppress inner demons and stir up the inner demons of others.

Although Lu Changsheng did not spend time cultivating.

However, his spiritual power has greatly increased, reaching the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, which is enough to stir up the inner demons of others and even create a weakened version of the inner demon illusion.

Of course, Lu Changsheng's main purpose was to help Shen Yiren open up.

He has complete control over such mental illusions, and in the process, he can bring the two parties closer together.

Shen Jianjia, standing nearby, couldn't help but frown as she watched Lu Changsheng's affectionate expression towards his younger sister.

I wonder if it was a mistake to ask the other person to come to the Goddess Palace to help my younger sister resolve her inner conflict.

This person doesn't resemble a Nascent Soul True Monarch at all, a reincarnated cultivator!

However, she was quite curious about the inner demon illusion that Lu Changsheng mentioned, and wanted to know its effects.

After all, not just any illusion can be called a mental demon illusion.

As a Nascent Soul True Monarch and a top cultivator in the Starry Sea, she cultivates a top-tier soul technique. With a single thought, she can interfere with and influence the soul consciousness of others, causing them to fall into an illusion.

But the illusion is completely different from the illusion of inner demons!

As for invoking inner demons, although she had not cultivated such supernatural powers, she knew that the methods in this area were a level below the illusion of inner demons.

"The Illusion of Inner Demons?"

Shen Yiren naturally knew that she had a mental block.

However, having mental obstacles does not mean that one is absolutely unable to break through to the Nascent Soul stage or overcome the tribulation of inner demons.

However, with a flawed mindset, the inner demons make it even more dangerous.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yiren couldn't help but want to try and see how she would perform in the other person's inner demon illusion, and whether she could successfully get through it.

As for whether Lu Changsheng would harm her, Shen Yiren was not worried.

On the one hand, she subconsciously trusted the "Xuanmu Daoist" in front of her.

Meanwhile, her older sister, Shen Jianjia, was right beside her.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Xuanmu."

Shen Yiren nodded and said that she wanted to face the image of her inner demons.
