Lu Changsheng noticed that they all seemed a bit fatigued, likely having just experienced a battle.
Or rather, during these pioneering wars, it is difficult to relax oneâs vigilance.
After advancing, they must always guard against counterattacks from demon beasts, or any leftover beasts, poison insects, etc., keeping both body and mind tense throughout.
Even though everyone has a period of rest, itâs hard to ease the tension.
Lu Changsheng understood the situation of his children over the years. Although they spoke lightly of it, Lu Wangshu beside him could hear the brutality within.
He knew that their survival was partly due to Bai Yunâs care in the early days and partly due to their familyâs methods of mutual assistance.
For instance, earlier, Lu Xingshuoâs leg had its bones shattered, and Lu Yunfeiâs internal organs were almost ruptured.
For ordinary cultivators, even if they didnât die, they would be half-crippled.
But with their own brothers able to rescue them immediately, and the Lu Family disciples bringing plenty of upper-class elixir medicines with them,
Lu Changsheng heard such words and noticed that Lu Xingshuoâs leg still bore hidden injuries and hadnât fully healed.
If in the future he attempts to break through to Core Formation or even Foundation Establishment Late Stage, it could cause certain impacts.
Not only him, but Lu Qingxuan and Lu Qingze also had some hidden injuries.
If this accumulation continued, it would impact their bodies, making breakthroughs difficult or reducing their lifespan.
"In this pioneering war, even with the Four Great Immortal Sects holding the advantage, it is fought with the bodies and lives of cultivators."
"However, cultivation is like this;
though many cultivators participate in the war, only a very few will emerge at the top, most ending in death or with body full of dark injuries, or as cripples."
Lu Changsheng sighed silently, then took out a storage bag he had prepared for them.
Then he went with Lu Qingxuan to visit Lu Yunfei, Lu Ziyun, and other seriously injured Lu Family disciples.
Under normal circumstances, someone like Lu Qingxuan couldnât leave the team at will.
But with Lu Changsheng present, it wasnât an issue.
Lu Changsheng visited Lu Yunfei, Lu Ziyun, and other Lu Family disciples to assess their conditions.
The injuries were severe, requiring a long recovery.
Although Qingyun Sect had doctors, they could only treat the injuries and couldnât use elixir medicines to prevent hidden injuries and sequelae.
Lu Changsheng immediately began healing.
With his Yin Yang Creation Scripture, he could instantly transform into the Cauldron Medical Kingâs Scripture, and knew healing techniques.
"Thank you, Father!"
"Thank you, Grandfather!"
The Lu Family disciples were overjoyed and thankful, gaining a sense of security seeing their father and elder ancestor come.
"Within two years, this war will end, and by then the family will reward you all."
Lu Changsheng encouraged them.
Participating in such a war is indeed an excellent opportunity for honing their skills.
These Lu Family disciples, having been baptized by war, will become the core backbone of the family in the future.
Since the Qingyun Sectâs war zone and the Heavenly Sword Sectâs war zone were not together,
his sons Lu Lingxiao and Lu Mingfeng had both joined through Great Dream Immortal Cityâs recommendation, so it wasnât convenient for Lu Changsheng to go visit them.
He only went to visit Zhao Qingqing and Lu Xingyue.
They were logistical personnel, truly at the rear, without any injuries.
...
Five days later.
The cultivators, according to the route set by Qingyun Sect, continued advancing forward, presenting a truly magnificent scene.
The main combat forces were still battle formations composed of Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators, charging at the front.
However, for a quick resolution, Qingyun Sect had already deployed their warships.
They lay across the sky like crouching giant beasts, gathering spiritual light.
"Roar roar roarâ"
The demon kings of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, though not very intelligent, would not sit idly by in the face of the human raceâs army and knew to gather demon beasts to counterattack.
"Boom boom boomâ"
Talismansâ spiritual light, magic artifacts like flying swords, and battle array techniques interwove and danced in the air, sounding like thunder.
In such battles, unless one is a Nascent Soul Immortal, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators can hardly do anything.
Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue, as free agents, flew through the air, observing the situation from all sides, ready to support at any time.
"Such battles are downright money-burning affairs."
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Whether itâs the talismans and magic artifacts of cultivators, or each battle formation, or the spiritual vessels above, all are burning through spirit stones.
However, with so many demon beasts, their corpses turning into various materials afterward represents a huge gain, enough to cover the expenses of the Four Great Immortal Sects, and even make a substantial profit.
"Everyone, slay the demons!"
Xiao Xiyue activated a war drum spiritual artifact, striking it with her mana.
This was a spiritual artifact bestowed by Qingyun Sect, suitable for large-scale warfare.
It could enhance cultivatorsâ mana, boost morale, and somewhat suppress the roars and howls of demon beasts, mitigating the disruptive effects of soundwave attacks.
"Dong dong dongâ"
The cultivators below, hearing the sound, looked up at the heavenly dome and saw a Nascent Soul Immortal overseeing the rear, feeling excited and greatly encouraged.
These days, they knew that the immortal sects were fully reinforcing, aiming for a quick resolution to end the pioneering war.
"Puh puh puh!"
With keen intuition, Lu Changsheng saw a top-level second rank Shadow Wolf attacking a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and promptly pointed with his talisman brush.
"Puh!"
The talisman brushâs spiritual light effortlessly pierced through the body of this top-level second rank demon beast.
As the battle grew increasingly intense, Lu Changsheng indicated to Xiao Xiyue to separate and act independently to exert as much influence as possible.
Acting together wasted combat resources.
His daughter Lu Wangshu was also to act similarly.
However, Lu Changsheng indicated she shouldnât stray too far from him.
