Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Lu Changsheng, clad in golden battle armor that radiated light, entered the domain of the Endless Guileful Head—the Ghost Domain—to survey the situation.

As soon as he entered the Ghost Domain, he felt the mana within his body become heavy, slightly sluggish.

Moreover, here, he was unable to sense nature’s spiritual energy.

“So this is the Ghost Domain…”

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself as he looked around.

Everywhere was shrouded in a gray haze, and black winds howled, transforming into ghostly faces that wailed and sobbed, as if in mourning.

A wave of sorrow, pain, panic, fear, loneliness, and despair surged into his heart.

“Such a terrifying Ghost Domain. If an ordinary Qi Refinement or Foundation Establishment Cultivator were to enter this domain, they wouldn’t even need the Endless Guileful Head to act. Slowly, they would lose their minds, their Heart Demons stirred…”

Lu Changsheng briefly experienced the impact and power of this Ghost Domain and was secretly shocked.

If there was any lapse in mental defense during a confrontation, it would mean a certain death.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng turned his gaze towards the Dark Demon Corpse shrouded in black mist.

This Dark Demon Corpse seemed to still possess some instincts.

It sensed that it was being refined into a Ghost Slave and struggled instinctively.

But faced with the dual suppression of Mount Sumeru and the Endless Guileful Head, it was completely powerless to resist.@@novelbin@@

At that moment, the Endless Guileful Head also transmitted its intentions, expressing that it could refine the Dark Demon Corpse into a Ghost Slave.

However, once turned into a Ghost Slave, the strength of the Dark Demon Corpse would diminish, losing its original divine might.

And after it was turned into a Ghost Slave, doing so would also place a certain strain on the Endless Guileful Head itself, limiting the total number of Ghost Slaves it could enslave in the future. ṞἈΝ𝐨𝖇Ɛʂ

“How much will its combat strength decrease?”

Lu Changsheng inquired of the Endless Guileful Head.

“It will no longer possess its original divine skills, mostly relying on instinctual combat…”

The Endless Guileful Head sent back a thought.

“That’s already sufficient. The main combat strength of this Dark Demon Corpse lies in its physical body.”

“Moreover, once within the Ghost Domain, with the Endless Guileful Head disrupting one’s mental spirit, the Dark Demon Corpse can overpower any ordinary Nascent Soul Immortal head-on. They won’t stand a chance.”

Lu Changsheng felt the trade-off was worth it.

Most importantly, by having the Endless Guileful Head control the Dark Demon Corpse, this Third Rank Corpse King would not suffer from backlash, sparing him the effort of nourishment.

Having confirmed the situation regarding the Endless Guileful Head and the Dark Demon Corpse, Lu Changsheng stepped out of the Ghost Domain, and the golden battle armor dissipated from around his body.

Upon seeing the beautiful and seductive Abyssal Ghoul Blossom by the spirit spring pond, Lu Changsheng’s brows furrowed slightly, a look of strangeness crossing his face.

“How come my path seems to be veering more and more towards the Demon Path?”

Lu Changsheng said with a peculiar expression.

“No, my heart and actions are as clear as a bright mirror.”

“After all, power is neither inherently good nor evil. It is how one uses it—that which is used for goodness is righteous, that which is used for evil is demonic!

“As someone like me, brimming with positive energy, having saved countless suffering souls, even if I possess some demonic methods, I am still of the righteous path!”

Lu Changsheng nodded to himself, his expression resolute.

…

At Bi Yun Peak, in the Lu Family Mansion.

Lu Changsheng was spending time with Bai Ling.

Now, Bai Ling’s cultivation level had reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Level of Energy Refinement.

With some more time spent polishing her spiritual power until it was round and flawless, she would be ready to attempt Foundation Establishment.

“Changsheng…”

At that moment, Lu Miaoge sent him a message indicating something was amiss with Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.

“Something’s amiss?”

Lu Changsheng’s brows lifted, and after asking Bai Ling to wait for him, he proceeded to Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.

It was only when he arrived at Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven that he realized what Lu Miaoge meant by ‘something’s amiss’ was the Ghost Domain formed by the Endless Guileful Head.

“Sister Miaoge, there’s no need to worry. I thought that keeping Xiahou Wuwo’s Third Rank Corpse King idle would be a waste, so I used another method to refine and control it,” Lu Changsheng explained out loud.

“Changsheng, refining corpses, methods of the Demon Path damage the natural order. If it’s possible to use them less, it’s better to avoid them…” Lu Miaoge uttered with pursed lips after hearing him.

Although she didn’t reject her husband’s use of demonic methods, she wasn’t completely comfortable with it either.

After all, in the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm’s portrayal of the Demon Path, it was considered extremely heinous and harmful to the natural order.

Moreover, both the Abyssal Ghoul Blossom and now the Endless Guileful Head presented somewhat sinister and demonic scenes, raising concern that they might influence Lu Changsheng.

Should he become affected, it wouldn’t just be him at risk; it would be all of Bi Lake Mountain.

“I understand, Sister Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng, knowing that she was concerned for him, took her hand seriously and reassured her.

He expressed that he was aware of the implications and asked her not to worry.

…

That night.

When Ling Zixiao and Xu Ruyin finished setting up the formation and returned from their tasks, they too were shocked to see the Ghost Domain above Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven.

Xu Ruyin, in particular, became even more convinced that Lu Changsheng was not a good person.

“Is this a Core Formation Law Domain?”

“No, this isn’t just any Law Domain…”

Hong Lian in the Ancient Beast Taming Charm also witnessed this scene and sensed that something was amiss.

She observed carefully and soon saw the Endless Guileful Head inside, realizing that this Ghost Domain was even more formidable than a typical Core Formation Law Domain.

It could even influence Nascent Soul Cultivators to some extent.

“This is some kind of corpse refining method, where all divine skills and magical powers are converted into a Law Domain, tremendously powerful, enough to confront cultivators of the same rank…”

“The young master is only at Foundation Establishment strength, how can he control such corpse refinement!”

The more Hong Lian observed, the more she was shocked, unable to comprehend how Lu Changsheng managed to wield such a fearsome undead being.

Corpse refining was different from Beast Taming.

Spiritual Beasts had sentient nature and could be gradually nurtured, tamed from a young age, thus recognizing a master.

But corpse refinement entities mostly lacked sentience, having only instinctual awareness.

They could be controlled only through various restrictive techniques, and loyalty to a master was virtually nonexistent.

Especially the more powerful and sinister the reanimated corpse, the truer this was; not suffering from backlash was already fortunate. To control the strong with the weak was exceedingly difficult.
