Chapter 1024: Chapter 363: Lu Pingāanās Breakthrough in Foundation Establishment, the Meaning of Cultivation!_4
Even though she had taken the Preserving Youth Pills given by Lu Changsheng, making her appear much younger than her actual age,
there was still a pressure she felt in the presence of Lu Changsheng.
āHehe, my return this time is to bring you some good news.ā
Lu Changsheng chuckled softly and spoke.
āGood news? Is it related to Pingāan?ā
Lu Lanshu immediately looked at her son and guessed aloud.
As Lu Changshengās wife, who had managed the secular Lu Family in her earlier years, she was no ignorant woman.
āPingāan.ā
Lu Changsheng prompted his son to speak for himself.
āMother, I have recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.ā
Lu Pingāan grinned at his mother as he spoke.
From a young age, he knew that his mother had always hoped to give birth to a child with a Spiritual Root.
She was overjoyed to the point of tears when she learned he possessed a Spiritual Root.
Before he left for Qingzhu Mountain, she constantly reminded him to listen to his father as well as Auntie Miaoge and Aunt Miao Yun, among others.
Every time he returned home in his early years, his mother would inquire about his cultivation progress.
Because in her heart, all things were inferior;
only cultivation was supreme!
Now that he had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he had fulfilled one of his motherās wishes.
āFoundation Establishment Stage? Foundation Establishment, Pingāan, are you referring to the Foundation Establishment Ancestorās level of Foundation Establishment?ā
Upon hearing this, Lu Lanshu suddenly covered her mouth in astonishment, her face full of disbelief.
Though she was a mortal,
she was very clear about this common cultivation knowledge.
She was still getting updates about the Cultivation World from the Ruyi Marquis Mansion, and she understood what Foundation Establishment represented;
that was why she found it so unbelievable now!
After all, there were not many Foundation Establishment Ancestors throughout Qingzhu Mountain and Bi Lake Mountain.
And now, her son, at the age of forty-three, had become an exalted Foundation Establishment Ancestor!
āYes.ā
Lu Pingāan grinned as he replied.
āMy son has actually broken through to Foundation Establishment. Iāve heard Foundation Establishment allows one to fly through the sky. Pingāan, show your mother.ā
Lu Lanshu was extremely excited, and she lost her composure completely.
Immediately, Lu Pingāan levitated into the air with his mother, confirming this point, but Lu Lanshu still felt as if she were dreaming.
Were it not for Lu Changshengās instruction to keep the matter secret for now, Lu Lanshu would have wished to announce it to the entire family and tell everyone in the world that her son had broken through to Foundation Establishment.
However, hearing that the matter concerned the familyās future, she understood the gravity of the situation and promised not to reveal it.
But Lu Changsheng also stated that he would announce his sonās breakthrough in a few years and hold a ceremony.
After all, wealth and honor unacknowledged in oneās hometown are like dressing in fine robes at night.
He may not care for such things, but Lu Lanshu still wished to witness her sonās Foundation Establishment celebration.
After a brief explanation, Lu Lanshu notified the family that Lu Changsheng and Lu Pingāan had returned.
āGreetings, Father.ā
āBig brother.ā
āGrandfather, Uncle
Although many branches had split off from the secular Lu Family, as the main line in Ruyi County City, there were still many Lu Family disciples at home.
These people came one after another to greet Lu Changsheng.
Some came out of concern and longing for Lu Changsheng as a father, and for Lu Pingāan as a big brother,
but most of the children, having been sent away from the secular world at a young age, rarely met and looked at Lu Changsheng with a mix of awe and unfamiliarity.
Lu Changsheng, seeing this, let out a deep sigh, his heart growing increasingly sentimental.
This was also the reason he seldom visited Ruyi Prefecture.
Even though he believed his nature had become more indifferent over time,
faced with this situation, he still couldnāt help but sigh.
After all, the birth of these children all included his personal desires and purposiveness.
Although he could grant these children wealth and glory, he could not fully let go in his heart.
Not just Lu Changsheng, but Lu Pingāan, too, felt a heavy heart facing this situation.
He deeply understood the meaning of the division between immortals and mortals.
This was just between mortals and Foundation Establishment.
If it were Core Formation, Nascent Soul, or the legendary Divinity Transformation, it would be akin to a chasm dividing heaven and earth!
After all, a Nascent Soul Immortal with a lifespan of five hundred years could sit back and watch countless rises and falls.
āFather, without a Spiritual Root, is one unable to cultivate and embark upon the path to immortality?ā
At night, after the family banquet, Lu Pingāan looked at his father and spoke with a heavy heart.
Today, many of his younger brothers and sisters sought him out to catch up, but as they talked, he gradually fell silent.
āMan is the master of his fate. It may not be possible now, but it might be in the future.ā
Lu Changsheng spoke softly, able to understand his sonās feelings.
āMan is the master of his fate
Upon hearing this, Lu Pingāan clenched his fists.
He had broken through to Foundation Establishment,
but, apart from the case where his father had given him a Spiritual Root, he had never heard of such a thing happening.
āMany things might be beyond our ability now.ā
āBut the meaning of cultivation lies in the fact that with enough strength, one can rectify regrets and achieve all that is wonderful.ā
āOne day, if you become an immortal, perhaps with a flick of your fingers, you could enable mortals to cultivate or even revive those you cannot bear to lose from the river of time.ā
Lu Changsheng looked at the night sky as he spoke.
People had to learn to console themselves.
He was consoling himself in this way.
One day, as long as he became an immortal, standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal Path, he could rectify all that was wonderful, leaving no regrets in life.
And with the system at his side, he believed he could accomplish this.
āThe meaning of cultivation, to rectify regrets and beauty
Lu Pingāan, hearing these words, gazed at the starry night sky and murmured to himself.
After a moment, he saw Lu Changsheng leaving and, with a resolute clench of his fist, said, āFather, I understand!ā
