I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 103 - 97: Unparalleled Divine Skill, Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon
But the reason he chose this was, on one hand, to obtain powerful strength in a short time, and on the other hand, because of the Gifted Talent.
As long as there are enough resources, after abolishing his martial arts, he can choose any martial art from his gift, and quickly elevate it to the limit.
There is no need to worry about having to spend a lot of time and effort to comprehend martial arts again after abolishing his martial arts.
"Now that I have the gift of a Half-Step Celestial Human, as long as I fully digest it, I can obtain the Unparalleled Divine Skill ’Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon’, thus elevating my combat power to the extreme, becoming one of the few top experts in the world."
"Before acquiring Xun Shuijing or any better option, the Unparalleled Divine Skill ’Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon’ will be my trump card for a long time."
"Thus, continuing to consume resources on improving the ’Profound Crane Thousand Shadows Ghostly Sword Technique’ is not very meaningful. The most important thing is to accumulate enough resources and, after digesting the gift, practice this Unparalleled Divine Skill to realize the True Intent of Martial Path."
Lu Chengfeng silently calculated. Since he did not receive any memory fragments, he did not know the origin of the ’Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon’ Divine Skill, nor did he know the reason why the Zhao Family Ancestor suddenly died back then.
The gift received only included its martial arts insights and cultivation technique.
"The Zhao Family’s ’Blazing Fire Spear’ Secret Skill seems to be part of the ’Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon’ Divine Skill, similar to the relationship between the ’Profound Crane Thousand Shadows Ghostly Sword Technique’ and the ’Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword’."
"Using the ’Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon’ cultivation technique to drive the moves of the ’Blazing Fire Spear’ will make their power even greater."
"In this way, the next step becomes easy!"
Lu Chengfeng let out a long sigh of relief. Receiving the gift of a Half-Step Celestial Human was a crucial step, and all subsequent matters could be maneuvered.
However, he did not stay here to continue digesting the gift but turned and left the room, where an attendant was already waiting at the door.
"Let’s go to the Zhao Family ancestral home."
Lu Chengfeng instructed, and naturally, someone led the way.
...
The attendent had already arranged a carriage in advance. Lu Chengfeng silently digested the martial arts insights of the Zhao Family Ancestor while in the carriage, feeling new insights and progress with every moment.
A Half-Step Celestial Human had at least one Secret Skill cultivated to perfection, and with the Unparalleled Divine Skill, they glimpsed the Path of the Celestial Human, excelling in the cultivation of mind, the refining of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and understanding of the Heaven and Earth Truth, far surpassing ordinary people.
Any Half-Step Celestial Human could be considered a grandmaster of martial arts, a great figure capable of founding sects and creating doctrines in the mortal realm.
Receiving the gift of a Half-Step Celestial Human, for Lu Chengfeng, was a monumental opportunity and creation, a baptism for the mind, a new level of understanding of heaven and earth, and mastery of martial arts.
Because receiving the gift is equivalent to decades of diligent practice, transcending bookish theories and knowledge.
Lu Chengfeng did not notice that he began to exude a very special aura, seeming more indifferent, yet also more grand and imposing.
This feeling was very subtle but was taking place imperceptibly.
Unknown time passed, and the attendant outside the carriage said, "Sir, we have arrived."
Lu Chengfeng opened his eyes, his eyes increasingly deep, like the vast sky filled with endless mysteries.
He slowly stepped out of the carriage, and after getting off, looked upward to see before him a garden built by the river, vast in area, with pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, and rocky forests, looking very exquisite.
The garden’s main gate was an arch made of white stones, but the plaque had long been removed, and the gate was forged from Anomalous Iron, looking dignified and majestic, seemingly just cleaned.
On either side of this main gate were two small gates, with people guarding outside, the attendants Lu Chengfeng had arranged. Upon seeing Lu Chengfeng, they quickly came up to greet him.
"Greetings, sir!"
"Alright, no need for formalities, how are the arrangements in the garden?" At this point, the main gate of the garden was already opened, and Lu Chengfeng was talking as he walked forward.
"This garden has not been lived in or maintained for decades, overgrown with weeds and inhabited by wild animals. Being close to the river, many buildings have grown moss, and it’s difficult to clean thoroughly in a short time."
The attendant leading the way explained, "Yesterday, we found over twenty servants to clean up, starting with the Xia Guang Tower, replaced all the furniture and supplies inside, now barely habitable."
"Other areas will probably need at least a month to gradually be cleaned up."
At this moment, Zhao Tianyou had already received the news and rushed over. Upon seeing Lu Chengfeng, he bowed a salute, "Thank you, sir, for redeeming the Zhao Family ancestral home, such a great favor, Zhao Tianyou will never forget."
"No need for such formalities, it’s something I promised," Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, "But you need to be prepared in advance. Tomorrow, a clan elder of the Li Family is taking a concubine, and I intend to deliver them a grand gift."
"Once war begins, your situation will become very dangerous."
"During this period, you had better stay by my side and not go anywhere. When the time is right, I will naturally send you away."
Zhao Tianyou agreed, followed Lu Chengfeng, and began to introduce the situation of the garden to him.
He had lived in this garden since childhood and was very familiar with everything here.
"This garden has one lake, two courtyards, three mountains, and seventeen towers, operated by my Zhao Family for hundreds of years. It was originally no less than the scenery of the north courtyard of Central Capital, but sadly..."
Zhao Tianyou showed a sorrowful expression, sighed, then suppressed his complex emotions and continued, "The garden is divided into east and west courtyards, the east courtyard was where my grandfather lived, containing a lake filled by the Jade Belt River, known as Qianlong Lake."
"In the middle of the lake is a small island with a considerable fake mountain, named Wolong Mountain, surrounded by three towers named Eight Desolates, Xia Guang, and Mu Xue."
"I’ve sent people to first clean up the Xia Guang Tower, where you can stay for now, and I’ll have others continue to clean the other parts."
Lu Chengfeng nodded. Although the garden was indeed picturesque, he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery.
Tomorrow at dusk, Su Wanqing will marry.
At that time, he would, as Handsome Yama, cause a great disturbance with Zhao Tianyou, which would inevitably trigger a violent clash, and whether it would end as expected was still uncertain.
He only wanted to continue digesting the gift and, before the battle arrives, enhance his strength as much as possible.
"Prepare some food for me, and after the meal, I need to retreat for a night. You handle the other matters, and I’ll have them cooperate with you."
"Make sure to keep an eye on that old lady. If she tries any more tricks, just kill her."
Lu Chengfeng’s tone was indifferent as if talking about crushing an ant. He had almost fully digested Handsome Yama’s gift and, from the hidden information obtained, unexpectedly discovered some details about Mrs. Zhao Qian.
That old lady is double-dealing, ruthless, and has many connections with the Immortal Tower, unknown how many vile deeds she committed in private.
Zhao Tianyou nodded in agreement. He had been crippled entirely in martial arts twenty years ago, suffered much humiliation, and saw many things clearly.
In the past, he did not take action against that old lady because he was surviving and hoping to leave a successor for the Zhao Family and find a chance for revenge.
Now that he boarded Lu Chengfeng’s ship, he had fewer concerns.
After arranging everything, Lu Chengfeng settled in Xia Guang Tower, ate a simple meal, and began retreating to continue digesting the gift.
