I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 350 - 58: Perhaps an Opportunity

"Yi Wushuang is accompanied by an immortal artifact and possesses the Divine Power Atlas. If one were to say there were no schemes involved in him becoming the son of the Sect Leader, that would be seeing a ghost."

"According to the forbidden scriptures I’ve seen before, the Great Chu Dynasty and the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect are adversaries. If Chu Xiangtian were to reincarnate, shake the foundations of the Yi Family through the Tao Vein, and then compete with their ancestors, it indeed makes sense."

"But isn’t this method a bit too conspicuous? Isn’t he afraid of being discovered by the Yi Family’s ancestors?"

Qi Lingxi toyed with the ancient mirror in her hand, the hazy surface of the mirror reflecting her somewhat grave expression. "On the other hand, Yi Wushuang has always been known throughout the entire sect as a libertine young master. Although not entirely evil, he’s infamous for being a playboy, indulging in flings and exploiting the innocent."

"No one would have thought that this person might actually be an immortal reincarnated."

"He doesn’t show off openly, yet possesses immense influence and status within the sect. Now, with a sudden interest in martial arts and the Dao, he might soon soar to the heavens."

"At that time, borrowing the resources of the Yi Family to rise, the Yi Family’s ancestors might find it hard to imagine that the Great Chu Ancestor would reincarnate into such a person."

Qi Lingxi felt her mind tangled in a chaotic mess. She abruptly stopped walking, then returned to her mat, sat down, and closed her eyes, allowing a round moon to slowly rise behind her.

After a long while, she gradually calmed down.

"No matter what schemes are behind this, the most crucial thing is what should I do?"

"I’ve now discovered Yi Wushuang’s secret. If I expose it, I could instantly ignite the entire sect. At that moment, the first person wanting to kill him would likely be Yi Mingshu."

"No..."

Qi Lingxi suddenly shuddered with alarm, "Yi Mingshu has always been shrewd. Yi Wushuang grew up under his nose all these years. Did he really not notice anything unusual about Yi Wushuang?"

"Or is it that he’s plotting something in secret as well?"

Thinking this through, she increasingly felt the depths of this matter, too intimidating to approach.

Qi Lingxi shifted her perspective, "If I expose Yi Wushuang’s identity, will I gain any benefits? What kind of crisis might I encounter?"

"What if I don’t expose his identity?"

The moon behind her rose and fell, her expression gradually calming.

"From start to finish, my goal has been the sect’s divine technique Heaven and Earth. Although I’ve become the recognized master of the Lingxi Mirror, I haven’t received a divine technique inheritance, and there’s no clear path to ascension."

"Although it’s very likely that the Yi Family’s ancestor also achieved Heaven and Earth, however..."

Qi Lingxi shook her head, "According to my inadvertent observations, the Yi Family ancestor’s enlightenment should have been through another divine technique. Even if she achieved Heaven and Earth, it wasn’t her lifebound divine technique."

"This is my opportunity..."

"And to cultivate Heaven and Earth, the only way is to... become the Sect Leader."

"So, Yi Wushuang’s secret, for me..."

Her eyes suddenly lit up with brilliant light, "Perhaps it’s an opportunity."

...

Within the Grotto Heaven, there is no sun rising or moon setting.

Almost in the blink of an eye, seven days had already passed.

On this day, the entire North Nether Abyss emitted a thunderous roar, then seemed to utterly shatter, transforming into billions of runes. The countless, densely packed runes wove and evolved the mysteries of wind and water in the world.

Lu Chengfeng merely glanced and felt dizzy; those infinitely complex runes were far beyond what he could currently fully comprehend.

However, all this lasted for only the time of a single cup of tea, and those billions of runes eventually intertwined into a scroll.

Lu Chengfeng looked and saw a Kun Roc.

His mind instantly recalled a passage.

In the North Nether, there is a fish, its name is Kun. The size of Kun, how many thousands of li it spans, is unknown. It transforms into a bird, its name is Roc. The back of Roc, how many thousands of li it spans, is unknown. When it flies in rage, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

Upon seeing that scroll, he beheld that towering creature, clearly encased in a very small scroll, yet the being felt as if it could obscure the sun, moon, and stars, covering the earth and mountains.

Indescribably ancient and desolate aura emanated from the scroll, making it feel not like a scroll, but an ancient epic and history.

"North Nether Abyss, nurtures the mythic Kun Roc."

"The highest achievement of this divine art is to refine the Kun Roc Dharma Form."

A flash of thought passed through Lu Chengfeng’s mind, as the Kun Roc Atlas assimilated into his primordial spirit.

The two magic talismans, Divine Wind Wings and North Nether Profound Light Sword, immediately merged into this atlas.

Buzz! Buzz!

The Kun Roc Atlas shuddered violently, as if a great river roaring or a fierce storm sweeping by, countless runes circulated within, as though the mighty being would roar out.

With the complete integration of the two magic arts into the Kun Roc Atlas, it seemed to become even more substantial; the awe-inspiring majesty and ancient aura even more vast.

Boom!

Lu Chengfeng’s Golden Flame Primordial Spirit suddenly transformed into a great sun, strands of golden light coalescing into rings, enveloping the sun.

One, two, three, four, five...

Five golden rings in total, representing his current cultivation.

Yet now, with the Kun Roc Atlas and the two talismans merging, those two magic arts nearly instantaneously broke through to the Sixth Layer.

The sixth golden ring slowly rose.

"With the Kun Roc Atlas, the magic arts now have a foundation and source, their power skyrocketing, making comprehension much simpler and easier..."

Lu Chengfeng carefully perceived the transformation in his true form, "If I use Kun Roc Wings, the speed I unleash, I wonder if it could rival the Ninth Layer Heaven?"

"Kun Roc Wings, Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon, Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword..."

These three magic arts are currently his primary techniques.

Kun Roc Wings are versatile in attack and defense, but most importantly, they grant him unimaginable speed.

The Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon has, since resonating subtly with the Golden Flame Skill, gradually exceeded the bounds of its original cultivation technique, becoming increasingly profound and terrifying, even allowing him to transform into a Flood Dragon.

This cultivation technique has become his regular combat method.

As for the final Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, it is the most aggressive of all divine techniques, but it has only reached the Fourth Layer Heaven.

Lu Chengfeng’s mind moved slightly, the Golden Flame Primordial Spirit transformed back to the size of a candle flame, and the Kun Roc Atlas leaped out of his primordial spirit, transforming into a Roc bird flapping its wings around it.

Besides this Roc bird, there was also a talisman resembling a peacock plume and a Fire Dragon talisman.

With the Kun Roc Atlas at the core, the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword and the Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon talisman surrounded the primordial spirit, constantly devouring the essence qi of heaven and earth, endlessly refining mana.

In addition to these, there were other talismans, but most were only at the First Layer, gradually failing to keep up with Lu Chengfeng’s progress.

"My cultivation has advanced further, reaching the Celestial Human Sixth Layer. If I execute the Golden Flame Skill, integrating all my combat power, I should be able to contend with a Celestial Human Seventh Layer expert."

"Plus the unparalleled speed of the Kun Roc Atlas, I fear nothing from a Celestial Human Seventh Layer..."

He slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant golden flame appearing in his pupils, with the illusion of a Roc, a True Dragon, a Peacock swirling in the firelight.

However, this vision flashed for just an instant before Lu Chengfeng quickly concealed all his aura.

"The gifts are fully assimilated, it’s time to act."

Lu Chengfeng’s mind returned to the ’Yi Wushuang’ body, he then stood up, opened the door, and walked out of Brocade Palace.

"Elder Chu, come with me."

"Yes, Master," Chu Zhihe responded, closely following him.

A creak, and the door opened.

Lu Chengfeng, with Chu Zhihe at his side, slowly walked out of the door. But from afar, he saw a graceful figure standing quietly not far away, like a fairy riding the wind, standing apart from the world.

"That’s... Qi Lingxi?!"

A memory flashed through his mind, recognizing the woman ahead, her entire being shrouded in a dim blue light, making her face indistinct.
