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

```

However, when I think about it, Xia Zhiyue is only a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root and hasn't undergone much tempering. With an average disposition, it's normal for her to fail her breakthrough.

After all, consuming a Foundation Establishment Elixir only increases the probability of breakthrough, not guaranteeing it one hundred percent.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance."

Naturally, Lu Changsheng would not allow Xia Zhiyue's breakthrough to fail.

He acted as her protector to prevent any mishaps during her breakthrough process.

He immediately stepped forward, took her in his arms, and whispered, "Zhiyue, calm your mind, I will help you with your Foundation Establishment..."

"Mmm~"

Xia Zhiyue, who was striving to break through to Foundation Establishment, felt her lips captured and her body softened with weakness, instinctively raising her jade arms to wrap around Lu Changsheng's neck upon hearing his words.

Soon after, with rustling sounds, two silhouettes merged, and soft, crisp cries filled the air.

As Lu Changsheng continued to cultivate the "Inverted Phoenix Reversal Technique," he infused his mana and the Yin Yang Energies into Xia Zhiyue.

The Dao Foundation that initially lacked momentum for solidification continued to coalesce, slowly rising from Elixir Lake.

However, due to the forced solidification by external forces, one could see that the entire Dao Foundation was filled with dense cracks, resembling a shattered jade disk.

This was indeed the lowest tier of Dao Foundations, the Bedrock Shatter!

Yet, despite being a Bedrock Shatter, Xia Zhiyue successfully completed her Foundation Establishment under such circumstances.

"Thank you, my husband..."

After a while, Xia Zhiyue, with a flush on her face and charm in her eyes, spoke to Lu Changsheng, her voice trembling.

Other cultivators would be in an unprecedentedly good condition immediately after their Foundation Establishment, filled with strength.

But Xia Zhiyue's breakout process was unlike ordinary people.

Not only did she have to endure the surge of nature's spiritual energy, but she also had to withstand the impact from Lu Changsheng.

Moreover, during this process, she had to concentrate on solidifying her Dao Foundation in coordination with Lu Changsheng, leaving her completely exhausted in body and spirit, not wanting to move even a finger.

"It's alright, you should rest well."

Lu Changsheng spoke gently.

He found the sensation of Dual Cultivation during her Foundation Establishment to be quite unique.

"Mmm~"

Xia Zhiyue replied softly, quietly experiencing the transformation of breaking through her Dao Foundation.

Although it was only the solidification of the worst Bedrock Shatter, it was still a transformation that was both elevating and purifying.

At this moment, Xia Zhiyue felt as if she were dreaming.

She could not have imagined that one day, she would actually be able to succeed in Foundation Establishment.

"Dad, your daughter has broken through to Foundation Establishment..."

Xia Zhiyue softly murmured, thinking of her father.

She remembered how, since childhood, her father's greatest wish was to break through to Foundation Establishment one day.

He hoped that both she and her brother would also be able to achieve Foundation Establishment to become esteemed Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators!

Back then, it was just a father's wishful thinking, a wish for his children to succeed, almost impossible to fulfill.

But now, she seemed to have fulfilled her father's dream.

Not long ago, her brother Xia Zhaoyang had written to her, saying he had gathered enough Foundation Establishment Elixirs and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, and was preparing to attempt Foundation Establishment soon.

Unlike her, he had a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root and was a disciple of the Immortal Sects.

Moreover, over the years, he had managed to accumulate Foundation Establishment Elixirs and Spiritual Objects due to his own efforts, making it very likely for him to succeed in Foundation Establishment.

"I wonder what Xiaoyang's expression would be if he knew I achieved Foundation Establishment before him."

Xia Zhiyue thought of her brother Xia Zhaoyang, a hint of amusement appearing in her eyes.

...

Half a month later.

"Hmm, Xi Yue's here?"

Lu Changsheng was instructing his daughter Lu Wangshu in her cultivation when he suddenly felt something and produced a Yin-Yang Sensing Talisman in his hand.

He knew that Xiao Xiyue had arrived at Bi Lake Mountain.

He immediately took his daughter Lu Wangshu to meet Xiao Xiyue.

When the three met, they shared joyful greetings and went straight back to Bi Yun Peak.

Lu Changsheng inquired about whether Xiao Xiyue's trip was related to an end to the matters concerning Luoyun Mountain Range.

Years ago, when he took Lu Wangshu to the Luoyun Mountain Range, Xiao Xiyue had estimated that the Secret Realm would end in about half a year, yet she had only returned now.

"Mmm, something unexpected happened in the Secret Realm...."

Xiao Xiyue responded softly.

She explained that Demonic Path Cultivators had appeared in the Secret Realm, causing delays.

It was also because of this matter that Qingyun Sect issued a Demon Subjugation Order, and the ownership of the Secret Realm was shared with Heavenly Sword Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Spirit Taming Sect.

"Hmm? Demonic Path Cultivators appeared in the Secret Realm, and because of this, Qingyun Sect issued a Demon Subjugation Command?"

Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this, thought of the Demonic Path Nascent Soul he had blasted away and paused in contemplation.

"Mmm."

Xiao Xiyue nodded lightly and took out several Jade Boxes from her Storage Bag for her daughter: "Wangshu, these are gifts from your mother."

Then, she handed one Jade Box to Lu Changsheng: "Changsheng, I've also brought you a gift."

"Oh, I have one too?"

Lu Changsheng's eyebrows raised slightly; a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

He hadn't expected Xiao Xiyue to have prepared gifts for both her daughter Lu Wangshu and him.

He opened the Jade Box.

Inside, there lay a three-inch-tall, crystalline blue-white lotus.

"The Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus!?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly in surprise upon seeing the lotus.

The lotus before him was about three inches wide, with crystal clear petals, tinted in blue and white.

Based on what Hong Lian had previously told him, he recognized it as the Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus!

"Eh?"

The nearby Lu Wangshu also found the Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus a bit familiar.

It somewhat resembled the lotus she had seen when her father had harvested it from the Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer.

However, this particular lotus was nowhere near as large or as beautiful as the one her father had.

"Do you recognize it, Changsheng?"

Xiao Xiyue was somewhat taken aback.

With a soft gaze and a smile, she said, "I know you have been looking for Spiritual Spring objects and collecting Spiritual Origin Pearls."

"This time in the Secret Realm, when I learned that planting this Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus would yield the effects of a Spiritual Origin Pearl, I exchanged for one."

Xiao Xiyue said this.

"Xi Yue, come with me."

Lu Changsheng let out a breath and spoke to Xiao Xiyue.

Based on her words and the appearance of the Heavenly Origin Precious Lotus, he had already surmised a rough idea about the affair with Black Crow True Immortal.

He even guessed what might have happened in the Secret Realm.
