I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 224 - 3: Impersonating King Xiang

"However, if talismans are randomly conjured and chaotic, even reaching the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Human realm would mean the path is cut off, hopeless to conjure Divine Techniques, and even less hope of ascending to the Immortal Realm."

"I have inherited the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword and possess the complete Sword Scripture. If I practice systematically, I can conjure the Five-Colored Divine Light technique."

He halted his steps, turning back to gaze at the dilapidated temple now immersed in darkness.

"The old monk said that the path here is severed, even with the Sword Scripture there is no affinity with the Immortal Path, only by obtaining the Creation of the four Dragon Monarchs can there be a chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"To seek the Red Dragon’s Creation, one must first practice the Fire Element Immortal Scripture."

"To seek the Cyan Dragon’s Creation, one similarly needs to practice the Sword Scripture that matches it."

"Otherwise, in the end, it would be nothing but drawing water with a bamboo basket."

"So, although the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword is profound and unfathomable, there is no road ahead..."

The old monk used a Sword Scripture named the Nanming Lihuo Sword Scripture as part of a trade, allowing him to take that White Lotus.

Lu Chengfeng stood silently in the rain for a long time, as the rain fell, rolling down his clothes to the ground without leaving any trace of water stains.

"If the White Lotus truly falls into Master’s hand."

"Then her enemies become two, one is that Red Dragon, the other is the old monk."

"But... I have no need to follow their script."

"Southern Red Dragon, Northern Cyan Dragon, originally Great Han should unify the south, Youdu sweep the north."

"Ultimately, the victory or defeat of the two True Dragons, those behind have long since written the script."

"But the old man inserted himself forcefully, causing a flaw in the Red Dragon... What about the Cyan Dragon? Likely the same."

"The world’s chess game is chaotic, with immortals high above, manipulating pieces, controlling the destinies of all beings. Now I too find myself amidst this game..."

"But I don’t want to be manipulated!"

Amidst his chaotic thoughts, he lays out several names in his mind.

"The Red Dragon should be Liu Wu, Crown Prince of Great Han in the south."

"The Cyan Dragon should be Xiang Qingchi, Princess of Youdu in the north, returning to Youdu in seven days."

"These two are True Dragon reincarnates, their strength will certainly soar to the skies, even before reclaiming the dragon body, they might very well achieve the Ninth Layer of Celestial Human, and upon reclaiming the dragon body, they can strive for Immortal Position."

"But these two dragons have long been schemed by several immortals, and in the end, whichever side they fall to, it’s likely a dead end."

"Therefore, if I plan ahead, if the Red Dragon dies, I seize his wives and concubines, thus gaining his Creation through innate talent."

"Yet that Cyan Dragon happens to be female, her rebirth means this life’s spousal status from the past life may not hold, especially since the enmity between her and me is profound as the sea, it’s truly troublesome."

Lu Chengfeng only realized, upon clearing his thoughts, that the reason the old monk chose him certainly had its cause.

"As the Sect Leader of Yun Cang, the Red Dragon will come seeking his dragon body sooner or later."

"I have imprisoned the Princess Consort of King Xiang, the Cyan Dragon’s biological mother, along with Zhu Yuxian’s ties, thus the enmity between both parties is profound as the sea."

"Why do these two dragons persist against me?"

As he thought of this, his expression darkened slightly, unwittingly attracting such formidable foes, and crucially, these two dragons are backed by immortals’ schemes, exposing him under these many immortals’ eyes.

"Even if I evade the pursuit of these two dragons, those immortals behind have ill intentions, they may not have goodwill towards me, this is truly a misfortune..."

"With my current circumstances, to escape schemes, I must possess sufficient strength."

"Otherwise, just these two dragons alone could tear me apart."

Lu Chengfeng’s gaze turned profound, "If Zhu Yuxian receives the White Lotus, she will eventually be schemed to death by that old monk."

"If I can figure a way to kill that old monk, firstly I could save the beautiful Master’s life, secondly I might try to gain a gift from him."

"With the gift of an immortal, by then what Red Dragon, Cyan Dragon, I can crush them all,"

"Didn’t that old monk claim he practiced Dragon-Subduing Divine Techniques? By then I will ride the Cyan Dragon, crush the Red Dragon, wouldn’t that be joyous?!"

His chaotic thoughts ran wild, but Lu Chengfeng organized them clearly.

"In any case, the old monk is an outsider, scheming against me and the beautiful Master, we will plot against him without hesitation, moreover, we can gain immense benefits."

"As such, it’s necessary to establish contact with the power behind the Cyan Dragon, we need to cozy up for any chance of resistance."

"From now on, I, Lu Chengfeng, shall be a faithful and loyal man, never consorting with external demons, exposing all his intrigues, restoring the world’s bright heavens."

He thought it through clearly, that his main goal amid this chaotic situation is not to seize any Creation and benefits, but to keep himself safe and alive.

The Red Dragon will die sooner or later.

As long as he keeps one of his concubines, he can effortlessly gain.

The old monk is severely wounded, only daring to stir trouble in the dark.

If he can make this old fellow practice Joyful Zen, he could receive yet another immortal’s gift.

If he can survive, he will eventually receive an immortal’s gift, why fight to the death?

"Perhaps other Martial World figures, Celestial Human experts, upon knowing there’s a chance to seize an immortal’s Creation, might risk everything for it." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"But I can simply wait for them to break their heads, marry their little wives, and receive the gift, why endanger myself?"
