I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 119 - 106: Reforging the Divine Skill, Red Dragon True Intent
Until the next day, when he woke up from his hangover, Lu Chengfeng remembered the banquet mentioned by Du Mengyan. He hastily went to apologize, but Du Mengyan was gone, continuing her efforts to contact various parties in hopes of forging an alliance between the Celestial Patrol Department and the Yuncang Sword Sect.
Lu Chengfeng understood that she knew it was an impossible task, yet still chose to pursue it, unwilling to give up, determined to keep trying until the final moment.
"Knowing it’s impossible yet still attempting!"
He sighed and informed Tan Xiong before deciding to begin his closed-door meditation.
Since receiving the Half-Step Celestial Human’s gift, more than a month had passed. Lu Chengfeng used any available time to digest the gift, but until today, he had only digested about half.
One must know that the Half-Step Celestial Human’s gift contained no memory fragments, merely martial arts skills. Although Lu Chengfeng’s martial arts realm now differed vastly from the past, he still found it difficult to digest.
However, the benefits were evident. In martial arts, the higher one stands, the farther one can see.
"Cultivation of the Martial Path progresses step by step, with clear layers."
"The First to Ninth Layer Heaven, in the Martial World are merely minions, even in major sects, they are just regular disciples, like Yuncang Sword Sect, the Outer Peak disciples—such martial artists are not worthy of mention in the Martial World."
"Only with martial arts skills above the Tenth Layer, combining external and internal cultivation, refining Sword Qi and Gang Qi, can one be called a master, considered second-rate. Most of Yuncang’s Inner Peak True Inheritance and Outer Peak Elders are at this level."
"If one can cultivate martial arts skills beyond the Nineteenth Layer, refining True Intent, they then become Inner Peak Elders of Yuncang, reaching the Three Heroes Level within the sect, known as famous experts in the Martial World, considered first-rate masters."
"A person who cultivates a Twenty-Seventh Layer Secret Skill to perfection becomes nearly invincible among first-rate masters, such an existence is a top master, a generation’s Grandmaster."
Lu Chengfeng sat cross-legged, his mind flooded with various martial arts Profound Meanings, organizing his martial arts path.
"Ultimately, the lower nine refines the body through external martial arts skills, tempering Qi Power."
"The middle nine uses external and internal skills to nurture Inner Strength, harmonizing Essence Qi."
"The upper nine pursues spiritual realm, spiritual will, harmonizing Essence, Qi, and Spirit with martial arts True Intent, thus transforming and achieving Primordial Impermeable."
"These three steps: refining essence, refining qi, refining spirit, that’s all!"
Lu Chengfeng had no doubts about martial arts cultivation up to the Twenty-Seventh Layer, feeling the path ahead was clear and bright, within his grasp.
"Refining essence is easy, refining qi is hard."
"Refining spirit requires extraordinary talent and understanding, also needs to forge a resilient spiritual will, only then can True Intent be cultivated."
"Thus, in the Martial World, anyone who can cultivate True Intent is a first-rate master, able to make a name for themselves."
"The reason I could almost effortlessly refine True Intent is primarily due to the spiritual will being repeatedly washed through gifts."
"By bathing the spirit with a lifetime of insight from others, such Creation is achieved, not merely due to the martial arts skills gifted."
Especially with this refining of the Half-Step Celestial Human’s gift, Lu Chengfeng felt this point more acutely. The Red Dragon Heart Refining, each digestion was a tempering of the spirit.
The Divine Skill "Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon" uses the Blazing Fire Spear, Eight Desolates Sea-Swallowing Skill, and Dragon-Suppressing Stake Body Technique as its root, harmonizing various Dharma with the Grand Outline. If cultivated, one can transform True Qi into a blazing Fiery Flame Red Dragon.
With Red Dragon body protection, Heaven-Burning Fire is overbearing.
The more Lu Chengfeng fathomed, the more he felt the strength and terror of the Divine Skill, no wonder Zhu Yuxian insisted he cultivate the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Scripture as a foundation for the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword.
"Divine Skill differs from other Cultivation Techniques, its root lies in the Grand Outline, cultivating the martial arts True Intent through the Divine Skill Grand Outline perfectly fits the martial arts within the Divine Skill system."
"If merely refining the Blazing Fire Spear Technique, even if True Intent of the Prairie Fire is cultivated, it’s still unable to drive the Great Wilderness Sea-Swallowing Skill. To cultivate other martial arts into True Intent, one needs to abandon skills and start anew."
"However, Divine Skills differ. Once the Divine Skill Grand Outline is cultivated, Red Dragon True Intent is developed, which can perfectly drive and cultivate the Blazing Fire Spear, Eight Desolates Sea-Swallowing Skill, and Dragon-Suppressing Stake these three martial arts."
"Even if time and effort are available, other martial arts can constantly be adjusted and honed, integrated into one’s Divine Skill system, thus perfectly driven by Red Dragon True Intent."
"Therefore, the reason Divine Skills are so-called is that once learned, all martial arts in the world can be used, transforming decay into miracles, uniting Ten Thousand Laws into one."
At this moment, Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but think of the three Divine Skills he had learned about: Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, Black Fiend Soul-Stealing Qi, and Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon.
These three Divine Skills have other supporting Secret Skills, which he hadn’t considered closely before, only now realizing these three Divine Skills are systematic martial arts, each with branches.
"The core of a Divine Skill lies in its Grand Outline, only by cultivating the Divine Skill True Intent can one truly enter the door."
"I’m not clear about other Divine Skills, but the Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon Grand Outline has thirty-two layers, each layer of True Intent cultivated can drive other martial arts of the same level."
"Within the Divine Skill system, martial arts can perfectly exert their power, martial arts outside the system, depending on compatibility, can exert fifty to seventy percent power."
"If other martial arts are honed with time and effort, they can also be fully integrated into the Divine Skill system, achieving full power." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Lu Chengfeng took out a Primordial Pill, the size of a dragon’s eye, entirely blood-red without fragrance, he swallowed the pill directly, it melted upon entrance, an intense heat immediately surged into his organs.
"From today onwards, abandon skills and cultivate anew, meticulously refining the Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon Grand Outline, cultivating Red Dragon True Intent."
"It’s a pity I have only digested half of the gift, receiving the Zhao Family Ancestor’s Twenty-Sixth Layer Red Dragon True Intent gift."
"Nonetheless, it suffices."
"Let’s see how many layers I can cultivate the Red Dragon True Intent this time around..."
He focused his mind, visualizing the Red Dragon, a glimmer of fire flickered on his brow, a dragon’s roar echoed in his mind.
Meanwhile, cracks began to appear on the suspended three-layer Tongyou Sword Seal at the brow’s ancestral aperture.
Lu Chengfeng felt an unspeakable intense pain as if his soul was being seared with a branding iron, severe pain in his organs, nearly losing control over his mind.
Abandoning skills to cultivate anew meant dismantling everything, naturally, it couldn’t be easy.
