Chapter 1156: 404

Bi Lake Mountain, Lu Family Mansion.

“Daddy.”

Lu Linghe, with her twin buns, looked cute and adorable, gazing expectantly at her father.

“Don’t rush.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, conjuring the Cave Mystique Treasure Mirror.

He then grasped his daughter’s tender little hand, forcing a drop of essence blood onto the mirror.

The mirror swiftly absorbed the essence blood, and then its glowing surface shimmered with speckles of rosy light, blooming like a pure and flawless five-colored lotus.

“Xiaohe, do you remember the words Daddy told you just now?”

Lu Changsheng asked his daughter gently.

“Mhm-mhm, I remember all of it.”

Lu Linghe nodded firmly.

“Good.”

Mana surged within Lu Changsheng, the Cave Mystique Treasure Mirror dazzled brightly, its reflection enveloping Lu Linghe.

“Hum!”

In an instant, Lu Linghe felt dizzy, and she found herself in a pitch-black space.

“Daddy, it’s so dark!”

Lu Linghe cried out.

Although she wasn’t afraid of the dark,

suddenly being in such a lightless, silent, and dark place still made her a bit scared.

“Shh!”

The next moment, she saw a figure of light appear in the darkness.

Upon closer inspection, this figure of light actually looked exactly like her, cute and adorable with twin buns.

“Black Dragon Codex, use qi as the guide, observe the transformations of the True Dragon, capable of enlarging and shrinking, ascending and drawing in…”

The figure of light began to cultivate the Black Dragon Codex, speaking to Lu Linghe.

Watching the figure of light, Lu Linghe was momentarily stunned, but then, remembering her father’s instructions, she concentrated her mental spirit to intently watch the figure cultivate.

After the figure of light demonstrated once, it slowly overlapped with Lu Linghe’s form.

In an instant, Lu Linghe entered a mysterious state.

It was as if someone was painstakingly teaching her the Black Dragon Codex, and she felt a strange familiarity with this cultivation technique.

A serious expression emerged on her pretty little face, as she cycled the technique following this mysterious sensation.

Throughout the process, any slight mistake in the execution caused the figure to stop, point out the error, and then start again from the beginning.

In this way, in the pitch-black space, the human form and the figure of light overlapped, tirelessly practicing the Black Dragon Codex.

The technique was abstruse and profound, with many details in the cultivation process that Lu Linghe didn’t understand, causing her to make constant mistakes.

But she wasn’t disheartened, her little face full of seriousness.

After each correction by the figure of light, she kept it in mind, ensuring not to repeat the same mistake.

In the dark space where time seemed to stand still,

Lu Linghe continuously cycled the technique, guided by the figure of light.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Linghe finally executed the Black Dragon Codex perfectly, without any errors, synchronizing with the figure of light.

“Sigh!”

Lu Changsheng, holding the Cave Mystique Treasure Mirror, watched his daughter, who was seated cross-legged, and exhaled a tired breath.

Even with his Core Formation Cultivation, sustaining such a top-grade magical treasure for a long time was not without its costs.

Moreover, this treasure did not only consume mana but also heavily drained the mental spirit.

However, seeing his daughter mastering the technique, he felt the effort was worthwhile.

“Mm, Daddy…”

Moments later, Lu Linghe, groggy as if waking from a dream, instinctively embraced Lu Changsheng before her.

“Daddy is here.”

Cradling his daughter, Lu Changsheng gently asked, “Xiaohe, do you still remember the process of your recent cultivation?”

“Mhm-mhm, Daddy, I remember!”

Lu Linghe nodded in response and then demonstrated to Lu Changsheng.

Though lacking the enhanced state provided by the Cave Mystique Treasure Mirror, there wasn’t much of a problem overall.

“Not bad, that’s wonderful!”

Lu Changsheng rubbed his daughter’s little head and cheerfully said, “Are you hungry?”

“Daddy, I am hungry.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Linghe immediately touched her flat belly and nodded her little head.

“Let’s go, Daddy will take you for something delicious.”

With a slight lift of his hand, Lu Changsheng put away the Cave Mystique Treasure Mirror and spoke with a warm smile.

Although his daughter didn’t seem too bright,

he still dearly loved and favored his obedient and innocent child.

…

After temporarily resolving matters with his daughter Lu Linghe, Lu Changsheng rested for half a month before preparing to head to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

Apart from mining spirit veins, he needed also to hunt a Third Rank Demon King, so Lu Changsheng did not plan to bring Ling Zixiao with him.

After all, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range was perilous.

Once targeted by several demon kings, Lu Changsheng was confident he could escape alone.

But bringing Ling Zixiao would significantly increase the risks.

“Zixiao, Sister Miaoge, I’m counting on you to look after things at home.”

“I will return from the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range in as short as half a year or as long as one year.”

“If anything arises, just crush this jade talisman, and I will rush back immediately.”

Lu Changsheng spoke to his wives, indicating all matters concerning their children’s Foundation Establishment and dealing with caravans should wait for his return.

“Changsheng, please be very careful.”

“Lord, do not worry, we will handle things at home.”

The two ladies said.

However, knowing that Lu Changsheng was heading to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, they couldn’t help but worry.

After all, the perils of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range were renowned throughout Jiang Country, and even in multiple cultivation worlds.

“Rest assured, I am aware.”

Lu Changsheng held his wife’s hand, smiling.

After bidding farewell to his wife, Lu Changsheng discreetly left Bi Lake Mountain, steering the Starlight Plate towards the direction of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

Now that he had achieved Core Formation, he could fully utilize the Starlight Plate’s capabilities.

“Whoosh–”

Like a comet slicing through the sky, he entered the Nine Heavens Gang Wind.
