I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 236 - 9: Primordial Spirit and Immortal Embryo, Transcending the Mundane

Lu Chengfeng urged the Bixiao Sword to actively adapt to the refinement of various celestial phenomena through Sword Casting Technique, accelerating the formation of the Sword Artifact, while allowing the internal Dharma of the Sword Artifact to transform as he expected.

He was immersed in the ritual of the Sword Artifact, unaware of the passage of time.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, deep in the sky, a sudden emerald Sword Light tore through the firmament, its edge astonishing the heavens and earth, directly extinguishing the nearby heavenly fire. With a sweep of the emerald light, thunder disappeared, and the Gang Wind coiled around the Sword Blade, scattering the dark clouds in an instant.

The Sword Light tore through layers of wind and thunder, like an emerald rainbow falling from the Nine Heavens with terrifying speed.

Almost simultaneously, there was activity on Zhu Yuxian’s side as well. The crimson Sword Light soared, burning like a glass-like flame, turning the entire sky crimson red.

Above, the Bixiao fell; below, the red fire soared to the sky.

The two Sword Lights resonated with each other, emitting a clear, resonant Sword hum.

Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but laugh heartily. This was him greeting Zhu Yuxian, and Zhu Yuxian responded upon discovering his presence.

Because at this moment, Zhu Yuxian also fully condensed her Primordial Spirit and stepped into the First Layer of the Celestial Human Realm.

Although the White Lotus at her brow remained a great hidden danger.

But at this moment, the dual breakthrough to Celestial Humans and the resonance of the Sword Artifacts gave Lu Chengfeng a sense of walking the Great Tao together.

This is the true Tao Companion.

Controlling the Sword atop the Nine Heavens, journeying together on the path of longevity.

The intersecting Sword Lights, like lovebirds entwined, flew wing to wing.

Lu Chengfeng and Zhu Yuxian simultaneously withdrew their swords, their Primordial Spirits controlling the swords as they returned, descending toward their bodies.

Zhu Yuxian’s Lifebound Divine Weapon had not yet been completely refined, and her foundation was not as deep as Lu Chengfeng’s. When condensing the Primordial Spirit, her body was already withered, and after three days had become even weaker.

If she could not return in time, it would damage the foundation of her body.

Celestial Humans are not Immortals. Although the Primordial Spirit can leave the body, the existence of the body remains very important as it is the dwelling of the Primordial Spirit.

The emerald light fell, and in an instant, it entered the top of Lu Chengfeng’s head.

At this time, Luo Suyi in the room also had not closed her eyes for three days and nights. After Lu Chengfeng’s Primordial Spirit departed, only a body resembling a dried corpse was left.

No breathing, no heartbeat, not even temperature—indistinguishable from a dead body.

This situation frightened Luo Suyi terribly.

Had it not been for the golden light soaring to the sky from the Nine Heavens, stirring three thousand miles of wind and cloud, visibly signaling to everyone the phenomenon of a breakthrough to Celestial Human, she might have thought Lu Chengfeng had succumbed to his inner demons.

In fact, this is the hallmark of the Celestial Human Realm: the gathering of the Primordial Spirit, with the body as merely a lodging that can be possessed or reincarnated.

Thus, many ignorant ordinary folks in folklore refer to these Celestial Humans as Corpse Dissolving Immortals.

Lu Chengfeng’s Primordial Spirit returned to its shell, and the Bixiao Sword gave a hum, landing on his knee.

Suddenly, a golden flame burned at his brow, ingesting Five Elements Essence Qi, with the mana surrounding the Primordial Spirit flowing into the withered body like gentle spring water, nourishing every inch of it.

His body began to undergo a dramatic transformation at a visibly rapid pace. The previously dull and lifeless hair grew, turning jet black and shiny, the skin covered with dark yellow spots regained its fairness, and the shriveled body began to be infused with vitality.

This scene was like a withered tree experiencing spring again, or a corpse coming back to life.

Lu Chengfeng was well-prepared. A Pill flew out of his sleeve and he swallowed it in one gulp.

This was a Body Nourishing and Soul Nurturing Pill, specifically prepared for nourishing the body after a breakthrough to Celestial Human.

Three months ago, he was already able to break through to Celestial Human, and he had fully prepared all necessary resources for the breakthrough.

As the Sect Leader of the Yuncang Sword Sect, with the resources of the entire Sect at his disposal, these Pills were precious but not in short supply for him.

As the Pill entered, the changes in Lu Chengfeng’s body became even more intense.

Gold flame burned at his brow, and the Pill melted as soon as it entered.

Transcendence is at hand!
