I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 235 - 9: Primordial Spirit and Immortal Embryo, Transcending the Mundane
Time passed by minute by second, and unknowingly, three two-hour periods had elapsed.
The golden flame, as if like a Great Sun, suddenly contracted, transforming into the size of a candle flame, giving off an indescribable liveliness, with the rhythm of the flame’s dance akin to breathing.
The Lifebound Primordial Spirit, formed!
It happened naturally, without encountering any danger, without any bottleneck, and without any life-threatening ordeal.
Just like that, dominantly and smoothly, the Primordial Spirit was condensed.
Though Zhu Yuxian went into seclusion several days earlier to break through, Lu Chengfeng only took one night to first condense the Primordial Spirit’s prototype. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
At this moment, he has already condensed his Primordial Spirit, yet Zhu Yuxian hasn’t shown any signs of progress, evidently needing more time.
Normally, when breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm and condensing the Primordial Spirit’s prototype, the time required varies based on one’s foundation and potential.
The deeper the foundation and the greater the potential, the shorter the time required.
Condensing an Immortal Embryo takes no more than three days at most.
Condensing an Upper Grade Primordial Spirit takes no more than seven days.
A Middle Grade Primordial Spirit takes about a month.
A Lower Grade Primordial Spirit might even take up to a year.
After undergoing one baptism, they often need a long period of recuperation before being able to soar again to the Nine Heavens, refining the Primordial Spirit.
Lu Chengfeng condensing the Primordial Spirit’s prototype overnight, achieving the Lifebound Primordial Spirit in three two-hour periods, is akin to a prodigy, unheard of before.
Lu Chengfeng, however, paid no heed to such matters. With the initial formation of his Primordial Spirit, he felt extremely extraordinary. The Primordial Spirit is his true self, while his physical body has become just a shell.
Even if the shell were shattered, the Primordial Spirit could survive for seven days. As long as he chooses a proper dwelling, he could seize it and reincarnate, or reincarnate through Divine Secret Techniques.
His life is no longer tethered to his flesh.
Now, he could clearly sense the Five Elements Essence Qi between heaven and earth. As his Primordial Spirit moved slightly, it surged towards him like a tide, refined by the flame.
The refined Five Elements Essence Qi became dazzling golden light, encircling the flame like a golden halo.
This is Mana!
Unlike the Inner Strength and True Qi cultivated by Martial Artists, Celestial Human Realm experts absorb and expel essence Qi from all directions with their Lifebound Primordial Spirit. Refined by the Talisman within the Primordial Spirit, it becomes a force with the wonderful application of Heaven and Earth Law, which is Mana.
The power possessing Heaven and Earth Law can be termed Mana.
Common folk need food and water to sustain life, but upon reaching the Celestial Human Realm, one can completely discard the dependency on food and water.
However, the Primordial Spirit and the flesh still require energy supply, and this energy is the higher-level Mana.
Thus, for celestial human realm cultivators, the richness of Mana is often expressed in terms of years. Enough Mana to sustain one’s Primordial Spirit and physical body for a year is termed one year of Mana.
Of course, this only accounts for daily consumption. In combat, or for healing injuries, or when refining Magical Treasures or Divine Weapons, practicing Magic, the Mana consumption would multiply.
Lu Chengfeng’s foundation was profound, coupled with the Golden Flame Skill’s domineering absorption of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, after breakthrough, he had a full one hundred and twenty years of Mana.
Ordinary Lower Grade Primordial Spirit breakthrough managing to accumulate ten years of Mana is exceptional.
At this moment, his Primordial Spirit was like a Golden Flame, surrounded by a circle of golden light, then turned into a golden rainbow, merging into the Bixiao Sword.
This is the method of a Celestial Human Realm expert, Sword Control with the Primordial Spirit.
With sufficient Mana, one can control the sword for a thousand miles, slashing the enemy leader with a single slash.
At this moment, what Lu Chengfeng had to do was thoroughly refine this Sword Artifact, allowing it to breed Divine Patterns, transforming into a Divine Weapon.
The materials used in the forging of a Divine Weapon originally contained Heaven and Earth Law internally, but it was extremely chaotic. The so-called Divine Pattern is actually a type of Talisman, using his own Talisman to organize the inherently chaotic Heaven and Earth Law in the Divine Weapon, aligning it more with his own Martial Path. The condensed Divine Pattern is equivalent to a Talisman, activated by Mana to display its wonders.
This is the resonance between the Talisman and the Divine Weapon’s Law, borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth, refining the Divine Weapon’s Law, breeding Divine Patterns.
A layer of golden flame burned on the Sword Blade, with the crystal-clear blade flowing with azure light, akin to the interweaving and collision of water and fire, emanating a natural Tao Essence.
However, this is only a superficial appearance. Be it the golden flame or the azure Sword Blade, both contain Five Elements Law within, inhaling and exhaling Five Elements Essence Qi, resonating in harmony.
Every moment, dense runes flickered on the Sword Blade, weaving countless patterns.
Such a phenomenon would last for a significant period until those runes outlined a complete Divine Pattern, at which point the Divine Weapon would take form.
Lu Chengfeng was not impatient; with his Primordial Spirit controlling the sword, he ascended towards the depths of the Nine Heavens. The higher the place, the better the effect of refining the Divine Weapon, though the pressure would also be greater.
With materials and forging techniques not exquisite enough, the Divine Weapon could easily be completely destroyed in the Gang Wind and thunder.
But with Lu Chengfeng’s Primordial Spirit and Sword Artifact as one, the azure Sword Light pierced the sky, destroying everything in its path, slicing through storms, rain, and thunder, heading deeper into the Layer Heaven.
It traced a path of azure rainbow light through the firmament.
The deeper into the Layer Heaven, the more perilous it becomes.
Even with Lu Chengfeng’s Primordial Spirit controlling the sword, he felt a terrifying crisis. Upon reaching a place shrouded in heavenly fire, thunder, Gang Wind, and dark clouds, he came to an abrupt halt.
"This place is not bad; it’s an excellent site for weapon refining."
With his Primordial Spirit controlling the sword, the Sword Light landed in that intersection of wind, fire, and thunder.
The winds and thunder roared, water and fire tempered as if fashioned by a Divine Artisan, hammering the Sword Artifact, making the Sword Light increasingly pure, with increasingly intricate runes entwined upon it.
