I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 311 - 40: Stealing Heaven and Swapping Day, Daring Beyond Belief
The power of a magical treasure is related to the magic it contains; one embedded with a First Layer Celestial Human talisman is of First Grade.
A Ninth Grade magical treasure, when activated with mana, can unleash the might of the Ninth Layer Celestial Human. Such a treasure is truly a rare gem.
"Yi Wushuang truly is a worthless fool. If he had even a sliver of martial arts foundation, he could have directly subdued the Black Wind Ancestor on Jade Dragon Mountain without all the hassle."
"A terrifying treasure like this falling into his hands is truly a waste."
Lu Chengfeng carefully examined the golden pagoda in his hand for a moment before directly storing it into the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven. He then smiled at Yi Wushuang and said, "Close your eyes. I can’t let you see the direction I leave in."
Yi Wushuang was as obedient as a rabbit at this moment, closing his eyes honestly without a hint of resistance.
However, in the next instant, a golden flame flew from Lu Chengfeng’s brow, transforming into a golden light and directly burrowing into Yi Wushuang’s forehead.
Within the golden flame, a thumb-sized bead swirled, and the moment it entered his Sea of Consciousness, it scattered a multicolored radiance, instantly sweeping away Yi Wushuang’s soul, making it disperse on the spot.
Then, iron chains as thin as hair emerged, rooted in every corner of the Sea of Consciousness, stabilizing his vitality to prevent the Spirit Platform from collapsing. They continued to extend, penetrating his limbs, torso, and even marrow.
After everything was complete, these iron chains melted like ice and snow, turning into dense runes, fully integrating with his body.
In the next moment, the Golden Flame Primordial Spirit manifested the gift from Chu Xiangtian.
Rumble!
A boundless, bottomless abyss appeared in Yi Wushuang’s Spirit Platform, the sound of water echoing within its darkness, with an invisible devouring force sweeping in all directions, swallowing everything.
At this time, Lu Chengfeng had refined most of the gift from Chu Xiangtian. As the abyss occupied the Spirit Platform, his Primordial Spirit directly transformed into a golden light and darted into the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven.
The thumb-sized bead spun a bit before falling into the depths of the North Nether Abyss, vanishing without a trace.
Moments later, ’Yi Wushuang’ suddenly opened his eyes, golden flames burning fiercely within his pupils, yet disappearing in an instant.
His body fell limply to the ground. After struggling a bit to get up, he looked at ’Zhao Tianyou’ opposite him and casually unleashed a multicolored radiance, storing away this body.
Within the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven, Lu Chengfeng’s Golden Flame Primordial Spirit merged with his body, sitting cross-legged at the summit of the Yellow Dragon Peak, eyes closed.
His body and Primordial Spirit were now in deep silence, his mind controlling ’Yi Wushuang’s every move through the Dragon-Binding Rope, as if manipulating a puppet, making him appear like a living person.
Utilizing the ability of the Dragon-Binding Rope to conceal his aura, supplemented by the power and disguise provided by the North Nether Abyss gift, no one could tell that ’Yi Wushuang’s body was nothing but a corpse.
This was a forced tactic by Lu Chengfeng; he aimed to infiltrate the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, impersonating the reincarnation of Chu Xiangtian.
However, information inside the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect was extremely covert and difficult for outsiders to uncover. Despite using all his covert agents and intelligence channels, he only managed to find Yi Wushuang as a suitable candidate.
This person was in his early twenties, matching perfectly with the time when Chu Xiangtian’s reincarnation occurred after his demise. Moreover, as the son of the present Sect Leader, his background was prestigious and profound.
Provided he could establish a foothold within the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect under the guise of ’Yi Wushuang’, he could quickly enhance his strength using the sect’s resources.
The Celestial Law-Controlling Sect’s foundations were profound, and who could say whether they had some means to detect one’s bloodline? Thus, he had no choice but to adopt this drastic measure.
By controlling Yi Wushuang’s body and accepting his gifts, no one would detect anything amiss.
The subtlety of the Dragon-Binding Rope was such that even Yi Hongchen couldn’t sense it, let alone anyone within the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect.
Lu Chengfeng carefully sensed this new body of his, discovering that what seemed an ordinary mortal body actually harbored terrifying power, making him click his tongue in disbelief.
"Goodness, how many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures did the Sect Leader of the Celestial Law provide his son with? This body hasn’t undergone any cultivation, yet its foundation is no less impressive than my true form."
Imagining the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures required to nurture a mortal body to this extent could easily make one’s scalp tingle with disbelief—even Lu Chengfeng felt envious.
"How extravagant. Does the Celestial Law Sect possess such abundant treasures?"
He took a deep breath, and after a brief adaptation, he was able to operate this body at will.
"Next, I’ll refine the gift and seamlessly return to the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect."
Lu Chengfeng slowly turned his head and glanced at Du Mengyan beside him. This woman had unknowingly opened her eyes, witnessing everything from start to finish.
"Fairy Mengyan, as of now, I am utterly powerless. Could you perhaps give me a ride?"
Du Mengyan bore an expression mixing surprise and disdain in her pupils. She struggled to write a line with her finger on the ground, "Don’t use that body to touch me, I find it disgusting."
Lu Chengfeng was instantly speechless. Even at a time like this, this woman remained so particular.
He glanced around at the desolate wilderness, pondering momentarily before suddenly pulling out the golden pagoda, unhesitatingly invoking the last trace of mana.
In the next instant, the pagoda elongated against the wind, shooting above his head, casting layers of golden light that enveloped his entire being.
Simultaneously, a majestic voice echoed from within the pagoda, "I apologize if my son has offended any esteemed personage. Please spare his life, and Yi Mingshu from the Celestial Law Sect will repay the favor in the future."
Lu Chengfeng slightly shrank his neck, thinking to himself, "I expected that old fox wouldn’t be without backup. How could such a precious Ninth Grade magical treasure be left with merely three traces of mana?"
While his thoughts raced, his face showed a joyful expression, "Father, I knew you wouldn’t abandon me."
Immediately, he feigned a mix of terror and anger, "Father, Elder Shan is dead, killed by someone."
At this time, an illusory figure gradually took shape atop the golden pagoda—a stern middle-aged man wearing a red Taoist robe, long hair flowing over his shoulders, and holding a duster.
He scanned the surrounding environment, glanced at Du Mengyan, and looked at ’Yi Wushuang,’ asking, "Wushuang, who was pursuing you? Why do I see no trace of them?"
Lu Chengfeng shook his head, replying, "I don’t know who that person was, only that he could transform into a flood dragon and wielded a long spear, desperately chasing us earlier."
"After I used this magical treasure, he transformed into a flood dragon to escape. I don’t know where he went."
"Stay here, assistance will arrive soon," Yi Mingshu instructed before quickly vanishing.
The pagoda merely contained a sliver of his divine intent to protect his son at critical moments.
Although Lu Chengfeng appeared calm, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn’t yet fully acquired Yi Wushuang’s gifts or remembered his habits and past memories.
If he spent too long interacting with the Sect Leader True Man, he worried about exposing a flaw.
He glanced at Du Mengyan, who seemed to resume her meditation, indifferent to the environment.
Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but mutter internally, "Do you trust me this much? Aren’t you worried I’ll take advantage of you in this desolate wilderness?"
Despite his thoughts, he sighed, sitting beside Du Mengyan while the golden pagoda above transformed into a golden light and returned to his hand.
After waiting for not too long, in the distance, a Winged Celestial Horse pulled a jade carriage flying towards them.
Lu Chengfeng’s face showed delight as he stood up suddenly, "Finally, they’re here."
