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

Lu Changsheng had originally planned to first return home, see his wives and children, and have a family reunion.

On this trip to the Jiuxiao Immortal City, he had not only prepared a surprise for Lu Miaoge.

He had prepared gifts for all his wives and children as well.

However, the elder of the Lu Family indicated that Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding were on their way over and asked Lu Changsheng to wait for a moment.

Facing this situation, Lu Changsheng didn't have much to say.

After all, a breakthrough in Foundation Establishment was indeed a major event for the Lu Family.

If he rushed back home now, it was likely that as soon as he entered the door, Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanding would come looking for him, and he wouldn't be able to have a proper family reunion.

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, a streak of escape light flew from the depths of Qingzhu Valley.

Upon the movement of the family's great formation and the urgent message, Lu Yuanzhong, the Lu Family Ancestor, arrived first on the scene.

"Hmm, Changsheng, you've returned?"

When Lu Yuanzhong arrived at the mountain gate and saw Lu Changsheng, joy immediately spread across his face.

But in the next moment, when he noticed the faint spiritual pressure surrounding Lu Changsheng, his face turned from joy to surprise, astonishment, and shock.

"Changsheng, you've broken through to Foundation Establishment!?"

Lu Yuanzhong exclaimed in shock.

Even though he had previously speculated that Lu Changsheng might have been concealing his strength,

he could never have imagined that, on this trip out, Lu Changsheng would actually break through to Foundation Establishment and become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!

This!

This!

This!

This was simply astonishing!

"Ancestor, I encountered a fortunate opportunity during my trip and luckily achieved a breakthrough in Foundation Establishment," Lu Changsheng said with a bowing smile as he looked at Lu Yuanzhong's astonished face.

Even though he had revealed his Foundation Establishment Cultivation, he still considered himself a junior.

He did not call Lu Yuanzhong by the informal term 'fellow Daoist.'

After all, according to the family hierarchy, Lu Yuanzhong was the great-uncle of Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan.

"Good, good, good, Changsheng, congratulations on your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!"

Lu Yuanzhong immediately became emotional and nodded repeatedly in response.

After the battle at Blackwater Pool, he felt a greater pressure than anyone else in the Lu Family.

Not only had the core elite of the family suffered heavy losses in that battle,

but he, the family ancestor, had also been severely injured and didn't have much time left to live.

Afterward, he poured all the family's resources into Lu Miao Feng, hoping that he would break through to Foundation Establishment and support the family.

However, Lu Miao Feng failed!

The Foundation Establishment failed!

At that moment, he aged considerably in an instant!

His already weary body and spirit took on an added measure of sadness.

He was constantly worried and restless day and night.

It was precisely because of this,

that upon hearing the news that the Feng Family Fortress was destroyed by Xiahou Monie, he immediately discussed with Lu Yuanding the possibility of sending some of the direct family descendants away with Lu Miaoge.

He was afraid!

Afraid that the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain would fall on his watch!

Now seeing Lu Changsheng return after achieving Foundation Establishment, the tightly wound and weary spirit relaxed slightly.

Even though Lu Changsheng was not a blood descendant of the Lu Family,n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

he had been with the Lu family for more than twenty years,

had taken a wife and had children, and had shared hardships with them, having long been rooted in Qingzhu Mountain!

Now that he had returned after achieving Foundation Establishment, his sincere and humble address of 'ancestor' to Lu Yuanzhong showed not a trace of arrogance.

That's why he trusted Lu Changsheng.

"Ancestor, what happened to your health?"

Lu Changsheng asked as he looked at Lu Yuanzhong's complexion.

Lu Yuanzhong used to look around forty years old,

but now, he seemed at least twenty years older.

Moreover, his complexion was dark and dull, his aura chaotic, and there was an air of decline about him.

He roughly guessed that Lu Yuanzhong had been injured in the battle at Blackwater Pool,

for he could faintly sense a trace of the corpse poison he once used to help Chu Qingyi detoxify from Lu Yuanzhong.

"Hehe, there was some trouble caused by the forces from the Demon Path before, so I was injured a bit," Lu Yuanzhong said, relaxing his eyebrows as he spoke.

He had long come to terms with his own life and death;

what he couldn't let go of was the family and his responsibility.

At this moment, Lu Yuanding and Lu Miao Chang rushed over.

Upon seeing Lu Changsheng and learning that he had made a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, they reacted just like the previous Lu Family elder, Lu Yuanzhong:

full of disbelief, astonishment, and incredulity.

Facing this reaction, Lu Changsheng could only once again confirm his achievement of Foundation Establishment, leaving both men shocked and overjoyed.

Afterward, under the respectful, envious, awe-filled, and emotional gazes of the stationed Lu family descendants, Lu Changsheng led Ling Zixiao and went to the Qingzhu Great Hall with Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, and Lu Miaochang.

Such a significant matter as Foundation Establishment naturally warranted a good conversation with Lu Changsheng.

"Zhiming, hurry and share this good news, that Lu Changsheng has returned after completing his Foundation Establishment, with Miaoyun, Miaohuan, and the others!"

Once the stationed elder saw Lu Changsheng and the others leaving, he immediately came back to his senses and instructed his people to notify Lu Changsheng's family about the auspicious news.

"Yes!"

The stationed disciple upon hearing these instructions, immediately acknowledged and went to convey the good news.

...

At the Qingzhu Great Hall,

Lu Changsheng recounted to Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, and Lu Miaochang the details of his trip and how he accomplished Foundation Establishment.

He stated that during this trip, by a fortunate coincidence, he had discovered an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling, which allowed him to break through to Foundation Establishment.

It was also because of this that he met Ling Zixiao and became Dao companions with her.

However, the secret realm was perilous, and Ling Zixiao had been seriously injured there, her foundation damaged, and now only one-tenth of her cultivation level remained.

"I have met Daoist Ling!"

Only then did Lu Yuanzhong notice that Ling Zixiao was also a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

His entire focus had been on Lu Changsheng until then.

Because Ling Zixiao was extremely weak and showed no trace of mana or spiritual pressure,

he was startled when he heard Lu Changsheng's words and realized that Ling Zixiao was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, which made him much more respectful and courteous.

After all, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Even if only one-tenth of her cultivation level remained, she was still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

He couldn't help feeling emotional that not only did Lu Changsheng have great fortune, but he also had good romantic luck!

Back when the Lu Family and the Chen Family were at war, a Foundation Establishment female cultivator had taken a liking to Lu Changsheng, openly expressing her feelings for him!
