708: Chapter 708 The Serene Venerable Forms His Nascent Soul

Lianyue Immortal Palace.

Liu Xuan held Ghost King Lian Yue in his arms, feeling as though everything was under his control.

Although he had been drained of much Yang Qi, causing his Cultivation results to be far inferior to his Dual Cultivation with Jiang Xingwan, but... female ghosts had their own unique charms.

Ghost King Lian Yue did not have a true Physical Body, only a pure Yin Divine Soul.

It was cool and refreshing; that fusion at the level of the Divine Soul, the mystery of the union of Yin and Yang, was hard to describe.

"Now that the ten thousand soul banner has advanced to a Fifth-Grade Spirit Treasure, and most of the Buddhist Disciples have been controlled by us, the method to destroy the nodes of the Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Formation has been handed over to the various Nascent Soul Ghost Commanders. You can break the array and escape at any time, and I should be leaving now."

Hearing that Liu Xuan was leaving, Ghost King Ghost King Lian Yue immediately clung to him, acting coquettishly: "Husband, please don't go, okay? If you leave, what should I do if the Western Desert Buddhist sect comes to reinforce them?"

"The Buddhist sect has Great Sage Taisui and Great Sage Jinchan behind them; I am scared~"

"I have already inquired about the Buddhist side. It will take the Dao Court at least one to several years to conquer the Immeasurable Pure Land, so they cannot come over in the short term."

"Even if an accident occurs, I have also had Peach Blossom send people to keep an eye on the movements in the Western Desert, so you will have time to escape in time."

"As for Great Sage Taisui and Great Sage Jinchan..." Liu Xuan looked thoughtful, "They have no need to trouble you. If they really do take action, you can use the name of the Beast Taming Sect. Given the current relationship between the Dao Court and the Beast Taming Sect, they surely won't try to kill you, and I will come to rescue you then."

The purpose of Great Sage Taisui and Great Sage Jinchan is to resist the Dao Court; they only have an alliance relationship with the Buddhist sect. It is fine for the Buddhist sect to ask them for small favors or make trades, but to get them to exert great effort, they would need to provide huge benefits first.

Whether Ghost King Ghost King Lian Yue escapes or not has little to do with them; as long as the Black Death Marsh remains, it is fine.

"Must you go?" Ghost King Lian Yue said, looking aggrieved: "I have learned many Moves, and I haven't even shown them to Husband yet!"

Liu Xuan's heart stirred, but he resisted the temptation: "My Cultivation is about to break through. To be safe, I must go to the East Sea to break through."

He held Ghost King Lian Yue's cool little hand and comforted her: "At the shortest, three months; at the longest, half a year. Once I break through, perhaps you won't even need to escape at all."

Once Liu Xuan advanced to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, his strength would rise to another level. If he could deepen his control over the wither-thrive life-death cauldron, he would be fully qualified to face Great Sage Taisui and Great Sage Jinchan directly, and the situation would be different by then.

"Alright!"

"I will stay here and properly nurture the ten thousand soul banner, Husband, please don't forget about me!"

Liu Xuan smiled, "Rest assured, your husband is the most loyal and righteous person; how could I forget you?"

Lowering his head to kiss Ghost King Lian Yue's thin lips lightly, Liu Xuan teased: "Since parting is imminent, I want to leave you with a deep impression. Are you ready, Madam?"

"Hehehe~"

Ghost King Lian Yue let out a crisp laugh, her beautiful face slightly raised, and with a hint of provocation in her eyes, she said: "I also want to leave Husband with a deep impression, I guarantee you won't be able to forget it."

...

East Sea. Yin-Yang Great Island.

Liu Xuan claimed to be returning for secluded Cultivation, but in reality, he was just favoring those wives and concubines from the Joyous Union Sect.

Since Liu Xuan's status as Sect Master was established and the Demon Saint of the Long Whale Palace was repelled, the Qiankun Hall of the Liu Family had become the power core of the Joyous Union Sect, and all high-level affairs of the Liangyi Palace were decided solely by the people of the Liu Family.

Consequently, more and more female cultivators actively joined the Liu Family, including the Nascent Soul True Lord Saintesses from the previous four branches, Junior Sisters selected through beauty pageants, and even Spirit Transformation Dao Lords like Red Dust Daoist Lord Su Qingyan, who were masters of their own branches.

Qiankun Hall. Nighttime.

Looking at the many women of various beauties by his side, blooming like a hundred flowers, Liu Xuan couldn't help but recall that exclamation from years ago: 'The beauties of the world are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river!'

As long as there were enough beauties, there would never be a day where he would get tired of looking at them. Even if they looked similar, there would be subtle differences; even if they looked almost identical, their personalities, hobbies, and the like would not be the same. Every woman had her own unique charm.

As someone who was good at discovering beauty, Liu Xuan was the most tender and protective of the fairer sex, unable to bear seeing a beauty disappointed.

Thus, he brought out a large turntable, suspending it above the great hall, and then spoke: "To ensure the effectiveness of your Cultivation, I will only select three spots today."

"For the sake of fairness, whoever the turntable lands on, it will be them. How about that?"

"No!" "Unfair!"

As soon as Liu Xuan finished speaking, he was immediately met with strong opposition from Red Dust Daoist Lord Su Qingyan, and several Nascent Soul Saintesses also chimed in to agree.

"Husband once said that the Liu Family has its own rules, and it has always been based on seniority according to Cultivation and contributions. Now you want us to pick randomly with a bunch of juniors? I do not agree."

"Like it or not, you have to agree!"

Liu Xuan said with a straight face: "The rules were set by me. I'm in a good mood today, so what's wrong with making an exception?"

For the sake of Family harmony, the Liu Family's rules had become more numerous and stricter in recent years, and Liu Xuan rarely took the initiative to break the various rules of the Family.

However, rules were ultimately set for others. Liu Xuan was willing to uphold the Family rules, but that didn't mean he was willing to be bound by them. As long as he wanted to play, he could either operate within the rules or call it an exception.

Seeing that the few Nascent Soul Saintesses were still somewhat dissatisfied, Liu Xuan looked at those Junior Sisters who were secretly expectant but dared not speak up.

"You are all Disciples of the Joyous Union Sect, you must help and understand each other!"

"Look at these Junior Sisters, each one of them is delicate and weak. Helping the weak is a great virtue; I really need to properly educate you all!"

After some preaching from Liu Xuan, the high-level female cultivators deeply realized their mistakes and agreed to let Liu Xuan use the turntable to decide today's Cultivation spots.

"That's more like it!"

"What's the point of doing everything by the rules? Life should be a game."

Liu Xuan first cast a restrictive spell barrier around the large turntable to prevent anyone from cheating, and then stepped forward himself to forcefully spin the turntable.

"Hum~"

The wheel spun rapidly. Just as Liu Xuan was interested in where the turntable pointer would land, he suddenly felt something was wrong; the sound of the wheel spinning seemed to have gotten louder.

Listening carefully, it was not the sound of the wheel spinning at all, but the humming sound of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi flowing.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was suddenly gathering. Who was undergoing Nascent Soul Formation?

Scanning outward with his Divine Sense, Liu Xuan was stunned at first, and then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

It was indeed someone breaking through and starting Nascent Soul Formation; it was Liu Xuan's son with the highest Bloodline talent—Liu Jing Zun.

Jing Zun had a Seventh-Grade High Grade Azure Dragon Bloodline. As he began his Nascent Soul Formation, Liu Xuan's Cultivation also slowly improved.

"Crack~"

A faint cracking sound rang out from the depths of Liu Xuan's Divine Soul. The Bottleneck of the Late Nascent Soul Stage, which would have originally taken a month or two to break through, disappeared instantly.

Moreover, from deep within his Nascent Soul, he could clearly feel a continuous stream of pure magic power surging out, stabilizing his Cultivation while continuing to push his Realm to rise.

The large turntable slowly came to a halt, with the pointer pointing to the name of a pure Junior Sister.

"Is it me?" Seeing many high-level female cultivators looking at her, she lowered her head in fear.

Liu Xuan waved his hand, using magic power to pull her into his arms. He did not rush to spin the turntable to pick the other two spots, but instead suddenly laughed loudly: "Your husband is in a good mood today, and I have suddenly changed my mind."

"Today, there is no limit on the number of spots, only the order!"
