I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 143 - 120: If I Don’t Marry You, How Can I Give You

Lu Chengfeng’s pupils slightly contracted upon hearing this. This was indeed something he hadn’t considered before. At that time, he was solely focused on improving his strength. Having finally received the gift of a Half-Step Celestial Human and possessing a rare Divine Skill, he naturally wanted to cultivate it as soon as possible.

"In fact, ’Heaven and Earth,’ ’Qianyuan Golden Tripod,’ and ’Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword’ are also known as the three Immortal Scriptures. They were once the Supreme Divine Skills pursued and aspired to by countless martial artists across the world."

"But cultivating these three techniques is extremely difficult. The conditions for cultivation are much more stringent than other Divine Skills, and the progress of training is far from satisfactory. Without reaching a certain realm in these three techniques, their power is not much different from other Divine Skills."

"The collapse of the Great Chu Dynasty, in a way, is also intricately connected to ’Qianyuan Golden Tripod.’ The difficulty of cultivating this technique is too great. In the thousand-year history of Yuncang Sword Sect, only two people have been able to master this Sword Technique."

"As for the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, it also split ’Heaven and Earth’ into many Secret Skills and analyzed the Three Sutras, Five Classics, and Eight Taoist Scriptures for members to cultivate."

Zhu Yuxian eloquently recounted the various secrets about the Divine Skills, "At that time, my late husband chose to create the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Scripture, firstly to lower the difficulty of cultivating the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, and secondly..."

After a brief silence, she said, "It was also for me. The Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword can only be cultivated by the Sect Leader. I am originally from Youdu and am not qualified to cultivate this Sword Technique."

"Did Master join Yun Cang back then for the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword?" Lu Chengfeng mused.

Zhu Yuxian’s ambition to become an Immortal was so steadfast that she must have thought about cultivating a Dharma Method capable of leading to immortality.

"I suppose so!" Zhu Yuxian was reluctant to delve into that past, "You have an Immortal Bone between your brows, with outstanding potential. I initially intended for you to cultivate the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Scripture and then attempt to compete for the Sect Leader’s position to acquire the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword."

"Should there be an opportunity, please lend me this Sword Technique for a look."

Lu Chengfeng then understood that Zhu Yuxian took him as her disciple not just to pass on Xun Shuijing’s self-created Cultivation Technique, but more importantly, she still yearned to obtain the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword.

Zhu Yuxian did not look at Lu Chengfeng but openly and honestly explained all her motives.

"To others in the Martial World, there isn’t much difference between Divine Skills. The most important thing is to find one that suits oneself, only then is there hope to achieve Celestial Human status."

"Throughout history, those who have cultivated to the Fourth Layer of Celestial Human are extremely rare. Beyond that, it’s like an insurmountable chasm, barely able to progress. Most of the Divine Skills in the world are more than sufficient, and their power is not significantly different."

"But I aim to become an Immortal, so I must obtain an Immortal Scripture!"

Lu Chengfeng sighed inwardly, suddenly understanding many things. The specifics of what happened between Xun Shuijing and Zhu Yuxian are unclear, but it most likely involves the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword.

Zhu Yuxian’s belief in becoming an Immortal is overwhelmingly fierce. From their brief martial exchange just now, one can clearly perceive the terrifying willpower that yearns for immortality, undeterred by death.

In this light, it’s likely that Zhu Yuxian’s sudden confrontation with him today and her mention of Immortals and Miracle Realms, things unheard of before, all had ulterior motives.

Sure enough, when Lu Chengfeng hesitated without responding, she continued in a wistful tone, "The old geezers of Yuncang Sword Sect have always guarded against me, fearing I’m a spy from Youdu. So for all these years, many core secrets have never involved me."

"They guard the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword even more strictly, leaving me no chance to peruse it."

"But now that the Lord of Youdu is about to visit Yuncang Mountain, the entire Sect faces the peril of annihilation. Under these circumstances, those old undead must ensure the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword’s inheritance is passed on to prevent this Immortal Scripture from becoming completely lost."

"If I’m not mistaken, they will surely hand this Immortal Scripture over to Du Mengyan."

"And you, with your Immortal Bone, having merited great contributions to the Sect, could very well become the master of this newly established Sect. Thus, you too have a chance to obtain this Sword Technique."

"I hope you can find a way to acquire this Sword Technique for me to look at as soon as possible."

After listening to everything she said, Lu Chengfeng did not rush to speak. After contemplating for a long time, he finally asked, "Why does Master persistently pursue the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword? Aren’t there two other Immortal Scriptures?"

Zhu Yuxian sighed, shaking her head, "Though Qianyuan Golden Tripod is an Immortal Scripture, it follows the path of Dominance. The wider one’s realm of influence, the stronger the Spiritual Will becomes, and the higher the Cultivation Realm."

"But a few hundred years ago, Black Shark Loose Man stormed into the Imperial Capital, stealing the Great Chu Divine Weapon Qianyuan Golden Tripod. Back then, the Imperial Capital was in chaos with rivers of blood, and the inheritance of Qianyuan Golden Tripod was severed at that time. Now only a few remnants remain, some of which have fallen into Youdu."

"As for Heaven and Earth..." At this point, she bit her lip slightly, her expression somewhat grim, perhaps recalling unpleasant memories, "Let’s not talk about it."
