I Only Marry Widows
Chapter 719 - 85: Fairy, Let Me Bathe You
He just stood there on the ground, holding the Jade Skill, the myriad of heavens echoed, even the Great Sun on the firmament appeared dim.
Hou Yi!
Is this Hou Yi?
An existence that forever left his mark in mythical legends, a figure eulogized through ages.
Hou Yi shooting the suns, nine suns fell.
This is a near-invincible existence even in mythological legends.
Lu Chengfeng’s heart pounded violently, he did not know what kind of cause and effect linked this Hou Yi in the Celestial Court with the mythical Hou Yi he had heard of.
But the aura on the other was too special, with a unique temperament, as if what he held was not a bow, but the Great Tao of heaven and earth, his own spine, an invincible belief.
Even without seeing his eyes, there was an aura of terror spreading, like a Great Emperor breaking through time and space, intending to return to the world.
When he gripped the jade bow in his hand and began to slowly lift it, strand after strand of light flew out, countless runes interwove, condensing into an arrow, an arrow etched with endless runes.
Every rune had its own wondrous use, evolving the wind, rain, thunder, sun, moon, and mountains; he seemed to become the center of the entire heaven and earth, with the sun and moon held in his palm.
Such a momentum was shocking, what kind of power was this, he seemed to condense a Great Tao arrow, unseen but instilling fear and trembling from the depth of one’s soul.
"Boom!"
Almost without any forewarning, this arrow was shot.
But Lu Chengfeng simply couldn’t see how this arrow was shot, he couldn’t see the trajectory of that arrow, an unimaginably vast and fierce aura rushed at him, completely overwhelming him.
Lu Chengfeng only heard an extremely mournful wail by his ear, followed by the Bright Pearl Dharma Form resonating with Tao, intertwining into tangible traces.
In an instant, he plunged into a state of empty-minded Enlightenment Realm, immersing himself fully in the Bright Pearl Dharma Form, to grasp this gift.
Celestial Court’s True God, a terrifying existence at the Three Realms Emperor Level, Hou Yi!
His power was fished out from past time and space.
Lu Chengfeng’s body unfolded, starting again and again to refine, wishing to completely master that terrifying and majestic power.
Yet as time passed, what the trace condensed was not a bow and arrow but a bird appearing on a branch, its wings golden, its entire body enveloped in flames, composed of runes and Tao Essence.
"Golden Crow?!"
Lu Chengfeng was taken aback, it resembled a mythical Golden Crow, vivid and lifelike, not much bigger than a palm, moving amidst flames, mysterious and elusive.
This Golden Crow, though appearing small, emitted a terrifying temperature, as if capable of incinerating all worlds, sending chills down one’s spine.
"Clang"
Suddenly, a resonant metallic sound emerged, as if an arrow broke through the void, or as if it came from within the Golden Crow, a half-blood-red ancient arrow protruded from the Golden Crow’s chest.
This arrow shrouded in nebulous haze, brilliant beyond measure, dyed red by crimson clouds, nearly translucent, with a crow’s cry resonant and ear-piercing.
The arrow and the Golden Crow harmonized, fiery clouds dazzling, the blood-red arrow trembling, ringing, as if intent on nailing the Golden Crow to the void.
Such extraordinary scenery composed an extraordinarily mysterious picture, like some kind of Tao Map, or Secret Technique, with each light and flame emanating tiny runes.
Blood light and fire light intertwined, issuing even brighter light, resonating mysteriously with one another.
Lu Chengfeng’s eyes shed beams of light, staring fixedly there, afraid to miss anything. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"It’s the Ancient Scripture cultivated by Hou Yi!"
Lu Chengfeng stared intently at that extraordinary scene.
At this point, the blood-red arrow merged with those fire-lit Golden Crows into one, a Golden Crow pierced through the body by the arrow.
This was transformed by Tao Pattern, containing all the secrets cultivated by Hou Yi, now attracted by Lu Chengfeng using innate Divine Techniques from past time and space, thereby manifesting in the void.
"Screech!"
The Golden Crow in mid-air swooped down, fiery light like a Great Sun enveloping it, gracefully moving, with an incredibly terrifying temperature distorting the void, making heaven and earth tremble.
"Clang"
A metallic tremor sounded, the arrow emitted even brighter light, blood-red, dyeing the whole world into a dreamy hue, mysterious and magnificent.
Lu Chengfeng stared intently into the sky, inside the arrow was a structure like iron chains clinking, within the Golden Crow, runes interweaving into rings.
His eyes blossomed with divine brilliance, penetrating through the brilliant light, to explore the deeper secrets behind the mystical spectacle.
Soon, in his eyes, all the phenomena faded away, leaving only two intertwining scriptures.
"Great Sun Celestial Patrol Bow", "Red Blood Heaven-Burning Arrow"
Merging together, it formed a Divine Form Cultivation Method named "Sun-Shooting Scripture".
The cultivation path in the Celestial Court consisted of Spirit Realm’s three layers, Dharma Realm’s three layers, and Divine Realm’s three layers.
The third layer of the Divine Realm is the Divine Form Realm, those who cultivate to this realm are revered as Divine Kings; the Three Ancient Saints, Emperor Wa, Tao Ancestor, Buddha, who emerged from the Three Realms, were ancient Demon Gods at this realm.
Without a doubt, "Sun-Shooting Scripture" is a Supreme Dharma Method capable of leading directly to the Divine King Realm, even within the Celestial Court it must belong to a Supreme Secret Technique, impossible to be easily disseminated outside.
Lu Chengfeng leveraged his innate Divine Techniques to directly receive the complete inheritance of "Sun-Shooting Scripture" from Hou Yi’s gift.
"Swish!"
Subtle flames flickered, Lu Chengfeng sat down, attempting to resonate with that Ancient Scripture.
His heart was clear, concentrating all his spirit to comprehend, gazing at the wondrous scenes woven by Tao Patterns, oblivious to the passage of time, utterly immersed.
...
When he awoke again, he couldn’t tell how much time had passed.
"If not for leveraging the power of innate Divine Techniques, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even qualify to memorize this Ancient Scripture."
At the moment Lu Chengfeng opened his eyes, flames flared from his pupils, weaving invisible killing intent and sharpness, making the originally gloomy and dark Ancient Hall turn momentarily as bright as day.
"Sun-Shooting Scripture" this Supreme Dharma Method isn’t something that can be borne by words; it encompasses some kind of universal rule, unique, more akin to the wondrous scenes birthed in Chaos.
This Dharma Method wasn’t created by man, but emerged from Chaos Wonders, this scroll of Dharma Method is essentially a key; only when cultivating to a profound level can one step into Chaos Wonders.
It’s said that the Chaos Wonders contain endless Creation, the five Great Divine Kings and the Celestial Emperor in the Celestial Court all cultivated such Supreme Dharma Methods and subsequently walked into the Wonders, establishing an unparalleled foundation rising from Chaos.
The "Sun-Shooting Scripture" cultivated by Hou Yi is just so, this ancient scripture emerged from Chaos Wonders named Ten Days Celestial Patrol, across boundless Chaos, there are ten scrolls, cultivated respectively by ten beings.
Yet ultimately, only one person can commandeer Chaos Wonders Ten Days Celestial Patrol.
Possessing Chaos Wonders would mean being invincible among True Gods, sweeping through a great world.
Apart from transcendents at the Divine King level and beings like Chaos Dominators, one would be invincible in the boundless Chaos.
Moreover, owning Chaos Wonders bears a slim possibility of achieving Divine King status.
"It’s quite monstrous." Lu Chengfeng just mildly comprehended and was dumbfounded by the difficulty of cultivating this technique.
"Great Sun refers to the origin of a Chaos World."
"Shooting the sun means piercing through a Chaos World, causing a Chaos World to fall."
"To shoot down nine great worlds, this method would be considered a Great Success, qualifying to enter the Ten Days Celestial Patrol Realm."
Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but shake his head, "Such a method is currently beyond what I can cultivate."
"However, I don’t need to methodically cultivate it; as long as I refine Hou Yi’s gift, I can cultivate to the First Layer realm."
This ancient scripture has a total of nine layers, and Hou Yi only cultivated to the entrance of the First Layer.
"Back then, the two Divine Pills gifted by the King of Xia represented the Great Sun Origin and Bright Moon Origin of a Chaos World."
"Hou Yi barely managed to achieve the First Layer by consuming the Great Sun Origin, equivalent to shooting down a Chaos World."
"Only he consumed a single Divine Pill, leaving the origin incomplete, the method barely entry, and furthermore with defects."
"Otherwise, with the mystical power of Sun-Shooting Scripture, he might have had the possibility of surviving the battlefield that day."
