Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Through the starlight, an endless expanse unfolded, with surging astral winds sweeping across as if to tear everything apart.

Lu Wangshu suddenly looked towards Lu Changsheng, feeling bewildered, and asked, "Daddy, where are we?"

"This is the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer," Lu Changsheng set his daughter down and stood on the Starlight Plate, saying so.

"Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer?" Lu Wangshu blinked in astonishment, then with her little mouth agape, she exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer that only Nascent Soul Immortals can enter, as mentioned in the books?"

"Daddy, so you are a Nascent Soul Immortal!" Lu Wangshu looked at Lu Changsheng, her face filled with surprise and delight, her sparkling eyes full of dependence and admiration.

It was then she belatedly realized, recalling the old man who had captured her, that he could very well be a Nascent Soul Immortal.

And if her own daddy had managed to rescue her safely, he must certainly be a Nascent Soul Immortal too!

She wasn't too shocked by this revelation, but merely smiled with curved eyes, looking content as she said, "You truly are my daddy!"

"By the way, Daddy, does that old man have a grudge against you? Did he kidnap me to threaten you?" Lu Wangsheng continued to ask.

She had never met that old man.

Moreover, the man had attacked her without saying a word, which left her baffled, causing her to think he might bear a grudge against her daddy.

"Stop there, stop there, I'm not a Nascent Soul Immortal. I've come to the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer merely by the aid of Magical Treasures," Lu Changsheng said, stopping his daughter from continuing that train of thought.

"As for that old man, I don't know him either. It must have been a chance encounter, and he took an interest in your Blood Talisman Spiritual Body," he ensured she wouldn't ponder further.

"I see." Lu Wangshu felt a bit let down upon hearing this.

She had thought herself to be the second generation of an immortal.

After all, walking around with a daddy who was a Nascent Soul Immortal would give her much face!

Nevertheless, she didn't care too much and, standing on the Starlight Plate, she looked around and said, "So this is what the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer looks like..."

"You'd better be careful: even a slight brush from the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind could end you," Lu Changsheng glanced at his daughter, seeing her curious baby look, and warned her.

"Daddy, don't scare me. Your precious daughter has just been kidnapped, and her tender heart suffered trauma, in need of comfort." Lu Wangshu pouted and asked, clinging tightly to her daddy's arm, "Daddy, where are we going?"

In her eyes, the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer was a vast expanse of nothingness, with the situation unclear.

"That old man is a Demonic Path Cultivator and was in a gravely injured state. I suspect he was being pursued and murdered, so to avoid trouble and getting noticed, he came to the Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer," Lu Changsheng explained.

His eyes were profound, shining like stars, he looked through the mists of the astral winds, overlooking the mountains and lands below.

However, at such a height, even he could only discern an approximate outline and was unable to pinpoint a precise location.

"Oh, I see." Lu Wangshu obediently clung to her father's arm, realizing the trouble she had caused him.

Then, Lu Changsheng took out Black Crow True Immortal's Storage Ring and started to sort through and inspect it.

The Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer, apart from being a convenient place for travel and picking up treasures, was also an excellent place to dispose of ill-gotten gains.

Thus, in the Gang Wind Layer, the treasures occasionally found may be objects discarded by others.

...

Several hours later.

Several rays of rainbow light descended from the high heavens and arrived in front of a charred and broken cavern.

"Bu Suanzi, are you certain that Black Crow Old Demon is here?" A crane-haired, child-faced old man clad in a simple grey robe looked at the scene before him and spoke with a grave expression.

"There are traces of a battle here, and when I previously used divination to investigate Black Crow Old Demon's situation, I foretold that this man faced a great omen of danger, which seems to indicate that his luck is more on the side of disaster than fortune," said an adjacent old man with a withered face and white hair and beard, dressed in a black Daoist robe, his voice hoarse and aged.

A fortune revealing great danger signified a nine in ten chance of life-threatening peril!

"Disaster is more likely than fortune..." The grey-robed old man's expression turned somewhat unsightly upon hearing this.

He had paid a significant price to engage Bu Suanzi to ascertain Black Crow True Immortal's circumstances.

But now, with Black Crow Old Demon dead, that indicated yet another twist in events!

The more uncertainties that arose, the harder it would become for him to reclaim the Tianyuan Supreme King Lotus!

"Hum!" The grey-robed old man materialized a white Treasure Bead in his hand and infused it with mana.

The bead spun rapidly in the air, absorbing all the Spiritual Mechanism essences in the vicinity, searching for clues.

"This is... fire and... corpse energy?" After a moment, the grey-robed old man inspected the two strands of essence within the white bead and furrowed his brow.

He pondered which renowned Nascent Soul Immortal specialized in fire and Corpse Refinement techniques.

"The Heavenly Corpse Sect possesses a Divine Skill known as 'Heavenly Yin Corpse Fire,' but rumor has it that only the Sect Master of the Heavenly Corpse Sect has mastered it..."

"Moreover, this trace of fiery essence is domineering and doesn't resemble a yin fire..." The grey-robed old man looked at the Spiritual Mechanism essences within the bead, his mind racing, unable to match them with anyone.

After all, who cultivates both a yang-driven domineering flame as well as the Corpse Path?

He turned towards Bu Suanzi and politely said, "Bu Suanzi, I would like to request your help to cast a divination and deduce the person who killed Black Crow Old Demon."

"Rest assured, I, or Qingyun Sect, will owe you a favor for this," stated the grey-robed old man earnestly.

Divination could deduce the Heavenly Secrets, subtly predict personal fortunes and misfortunes, and the circumstances of others.

But not only did this practice require immense talent and ability, but the cultivation process also came at a significant cost.

It not only drained one's mental energy but could also reduce one's lifespan and fortune.

Therefore, even though he was a Supreme Elder of Qingyun Sect, to engage Bu Suanzi's services, he had to promise heavy rewards and favor.

"Venerable Gu Yun, although Black Crow Old Demon was heavily injured by your pursuit, his strength is not to be underestimated. This person, who managed to find Black Crow Old Demon before us and kill him, clearly possesses no ordinary strength."
