Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 305 - 285: Everything Has Its Time to Begin and End [Congratulations to ’Heartache Through the Years’ for becoming the Alliance Hierarch of this book]

"If Divine Skills and Cultivation Techniques could be fused at will, refined in a single furnace, one technique could rival Ten Thousand Laws!"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

This was naturally wishful thinking.

At least with his current cultivation level, at the third layer of the Yellow Court Scripture, it was impossible to do so.

Once fused, there would always be a loss of some of the Cultivation Techniques' Mysteriousness, and a loss of some of the Divine Skills' True Intent.

Such as the Four Cultivation Techniques.

The Luo Fu Sword Scripture's Luofu Heart Lamp aids cultivation while the Luo Fu Sword Formation is used to attack and kill enemies. There are also the Nine Revolutions True Body and the subsequent Nine Layers of Gang Sha and Nine Revolutions Golden Core.

Each has its own marvels.

The Yellow Robe True Skill, when cultivated to the True Man Realm, allows for Blood Rebirth. The body-refining Magic Gate stands unique, and when incorporated into other Cultivation Techniques, it becomes challenging to manifest its internal differences.

The Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill involves the Visualization of the notion of All Heavens Demon Gods, transforming into twelve Venerable Dutian Demon Gods, a pinnacle among demons.

Meanwhile, the Five Thunder Heart Sutra is the shining Thunder True Method, master of the Five Thunders, the nemesis of demon heads.

Fusing these two Cultivation Techniques will result in conflicts, and inevitable compromises.

Whether it's the Twelve Demon Gods or Five Thunders True Method, they're both Heaven and Earth Great Methods.

As Lu Qingfeng possesses the 'Mastery over All Methods' trait, he can cultivate both simultaneously, without needlessly attempting to fuse and compromise them.

Divine Skills are roughly the same.

Yet somewhat different.

They contain the profound principles of heaven and earth. Their Artistic Level might still be fused at will, but once at the Divine Power Level, unless encompassing the same great dao as two sides of the same coin, perhaps only then could they become more Mysterious after fusion.

For two entirely different Divine Skills.

For instance, the attack and escape 'Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Void Condensing Sword Path' and the divination 'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number', if these two were to fuse—would it be feasible to perform calculations while escaping?

"Eh?"

"This could be an approach."

Lu Qingfeng's thoughts paused abruptly.

If Divination Divine Skills could be merged with Escape Divine Skills, wouldn't it be possible to instantly choose the safest and quickest escape route while fleeing?!

"Let's give it a try."

Lu Qingfeng began to fuse the Divine Skill version of 'Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Void Condensing Sword Path' with the Divine Skill version of 'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number,' with the former as the foundation.

A sea of Experience Value flowed in.

His cultivation plummeted.

Fusion succeeded—

[Divine Skill: Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Void Condensing Sword Small Derivation Great Escape]

[Grade: Ordinary]

[Description: The fusion of two Divine Skills, an oddity, extremely hard to cultivate, with the might of both greatly reduced. Evaluation: Mediocre, a foolish creation.]

"..."

As expected.

Unworkable.

Lu Qingfeng smiled wryly.

Considering the attributes of the fused Divine Skill, Lu Qingfeng thought it over and indeed found it foolish.

With both Divine Skills in hand, he could well deploy 'Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Void Condensing Sword Path' while calculating the most suitable escape route with 'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number.'

Why bother adding legs to a snake by fusing them into one, turning two unrelated Divine Skills into a mediocre mishmash?

Moreover, after the fusion,

Only escape remained.

To perform calculations, this Divine Skill wasn't suitable, and he would need to revert to using 'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number.'

Truly foolish.

"Not just this Divine Skill."

"Even the 'Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Void Condensing Sword Path' itself is not ideal. It tries to cover both escape and attack, but its offensive capability is not on par with the 'Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light,' only comparable to the Divine Power Level 'Earth Extreme Primordial Magnetic Annihilation Sword Qi' and 'Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Extinction Light Needle.' Its escape ability is just on par with the Divine Power Level 'Cloud Summit Step.'"

Lu Qingfeng had some realizations.

Divine Skills embody the True Intent of the great dao. Being intricate may lead to complexity, whereas walking one path to its utmost is better.

Like the Seven Beasts Small Divine Number, dedicated to divination.

Like the Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe, impervious to all methods.

Like the Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall, solely for Concealing Heaven's Secrets.

All were exceptionally Mysterious and powerful.

"Similar Divine Skills, or those that can promote each other, can be fused."

"There's no need for others."

After squandering Experience Value, Lu Qingfeng realized this and immediately rose to his feet, calling out, "Six-winged."

A Golden Light appeared and landed before Lu Qingfeng. It turned out to be the Six-winged Golden Silkworm, still violent and bloodthirsty, but less agitated.

Upon encountering Lu Qingfeng, it tried even harder to suppress its violent and murderous aura.

It circled around Lu Qingfeng once to show its fondness.

Then it slightly shook its small body, and the Golden Light burst forth, expanding dozens of times to rival a giant elephant.

"Well done."

Lu Qingfeng softly tapped his foot and landed on the back of the Six-winged Golden Silkworm. Encased in flashing golden light, they sped towards the front mountain of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect.

...

One hundred and fifty years passed.

The influence of the Guangyuan Immortal Sect grew stronger.

The sect was headed by four Immortals, with True Men emerging in droves, dominating the Fengyue Star.

"Greetings to Master."

Standing at the head was Lu Qingfeng; Lin Feng and Lin Ye bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Master."

Mountain Wind and Lark also bowed respectfully.

After years apart,

Lin Feng and Lin Ye hadn't changed much compared to a hundred years ago.

Mountain Wind and Lark, however, had undergone great changes. The straightforward lad and the timid girl from Two Pole Star had transformed: the former now a cultivator clad in Armor engaging in battles, the latter now the graceful Second Fairy of Guang Yuan.

Yet both couldn't help glancing at the fierce Six-winged Golden Silkworm by Lu Qingfeng's side with a look of defiance in their eyes.

Sensing the malice, the Six-winged Golden Silkworm grew even more ferocious, struggling to keep its agitation in check.

Lin Feng and Lin Ye were also watching the Six-winged Golden Silkworm, the notorious beast truly lived up to its ferocious reputation. They wondered how their Master managed to tame it, keeping it by his side as docile as a hunting dog.

After a fleeting glance, Lin Feng shifted his gaze away and said to Lu Qingfeng, "The two junior brothers are about to advance to the Gathering Law Realm and have gone out to travel, seeking Yin Sha ley lines; they couldn't be here to welcome Master's emergence from seclusion, please forgive us, Master."

"It's alright."

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand dismissively.

Wen Guang and Zhang Yang had already reported to the back mountain before they left.

Back then,

When Lu Qingfeng bestowed treasures and went through Reincarnation, Wen Guang and Zhang Yang were already close to the Solid Pill realm. Over three hundred years, they had advanced significantly, even nearing the Gathering Law Realm.

With excellent Root Bone, the Great Method (True Sect Level) given by Lu Qingfeng, control over Guangyuan Immortal Sect,

and no deficiencies in aptitude, Cultivation Technique, resources, or temperament, their cultivation soared.

In comparison,

With the same Cultivation Techniques, resources, and temperament, Lin Feng and Lin Ye had slightly lesser Root Bone and were slightly behind, still hovering in the Solid Pill realm. At this rate, they had the potential to break through Core Formation and achieve Primordial Spirit in this lifetime.

On Fengyue Star and even the surrounding star space,

Spiritual Energy and resources are insufficient for advancing to the Primordial Spirit stage, and further exploration is necessary.

"You two, come forward."

Lu Qingfeng told Lin Feng and Lin Ye.

The two of them did not hesitate and stepped forward.

Lu Qingfeng pointed a finger, landing first on Lin Ye's brow. In an instant, Lin Ye felt his mind roar as the Luofu Sword Scripture evolved, unraveling deep secrets before his eyes, there to be observed and comprehended.

Wrapped in immense joy, he was completely unaware of his Divine Soul ebbing away.

By the time he was still craving more,

a myriad of Mysterious Divine Powers emerged, one he had never come into contact with before appeared in his mind. Like the Luofu Sword Scripture, it unfolded before his eyes.

"Cloud Summit Pace!"

A gong resonated in the depths of Lin Ye's heart; he dared not be distracted, his 'eyes wide open' to carefully ponder. Like a sponge, he continuously absorbed and purified the essence.

Still left wanting,

"Sss!"

Lin Ye suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind, falling out of that Mysterious Realm. His eyes sore, his Divine Soul weak to the extreme, such that he almost couldn't stand firm.

A Qingfeng breeze supported him, and Lin Ye sat down on one side, looking up, "Master."

"Rest and recover your Divine Soul."

Lu Qingfeng said with a smile, then beckoned to Lin Feng. Lin Feng, not knowing what his master was doing, stepped forward to let Lu Qingfeng place his finger.

Immediately following,

Mysteries erupted!

"True Sect Level — Luofu Sword Scripture!"

"Divine Skills — Earth Extreme Primordial Magnetic Annihilation Sword Qi!"

Lin Feng's Divine Soul trembled violently.

Before long,

his Divine Soul similarly weakened, and he sat down beside to recover.

"Come forward." Lu Qingfeng did not look after the two of them but called out to Mountain Wind and Skylark.

"Master."

The two stepped forward, blinking their eyes.

Lu Qingfeng stretched out both palms —

"True Sect Level — Nine-Colored Phoenix Technique!"

"Divine Skills — Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe!"

Skylark's eyes widened, her Divine Soul rapidly depleted, and she collapsed to the ground.

"True Sect Level — Yellow Robe True Skill!"

"Divine Skills — Mountain and Earth Breaking Skill!"

Joy showed on Mountain Wind's face, his Divine Soul spent, turning pale.

Lu Qingfeng ceased, his gaze shifting sequentially over the four of them. The Six-winged Golden Silkworm turned into Golden Light, swirling restlessly around Lu Qingfeng, aggression laced with a touch of appeasement.

"You silly worm, as stubborn as a stone."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

The Six-winged Golden Silkworm, whether it understood or not, flew to Lu Qingfeng's side and transformed into the size of a giant elephant. Lu Qingfeng leaped onto the Golden Light. The Golden Light streaked across the sky, disappearing into the distance.

...

The wind ceased.

The clouds stilled.

"Master."

Lin Feng and Lin Ye were the first to recover, looking around, not seeing Master's figure. Exchanging glances, they felt a sense of foreboding.

Together, they leaped towards Yunyou Mountain.

Yunyou Mountain's extensive Array had long been withdrawn, and Lu Qingfeng was nowhere to be seen.

On sensing again,

the vast Luo Jia Mountain showed no trace of their Master.

"Master."

Lin Feng and Lin Ye fell silent, with a guess in their hearts but feeling lost for a while. Even the joy from the significant advancement in the mastery of their Cultivation Techniques and the imparted Divine Skills was dispelled.

Standing in the air, they were speechlessly motionless for a long time.

"Master!"

Mountain Wind and Skylark arrived but saw only Lin Feng and Lin Ye, not the master's figure. They felt something too; Mountain Wind stood stunned, while Skylark's tears fell.

After the incident at Two Pole Star.

One hundred and fifty years later.

Master Guangyuan wandered beyond the heavens, never to return.

...

Endless starry sky.

A streak of Golden Light flashed, racing towards the depths of the cosmic starry sky, unimpeded by rushing winds in the universe.

At an immeasurable speed.

"On Fengyue Star, generations of cultivators have expanded the star space, even venturing into the unknown realms, all to search for the path to the celestial way, to discover traces of other Cultivation stars and cultivators."

"After countless years."

"Countless Jiedan True Men have delved into the starry sky, never to reemerge with news."

Lu Qingfeng sat on the outer Golden Light of the Six-winged Golden Silkworm, savoring the mysteries of the universe, relishing the solitude of the starry sky.

On Fengyue Star,

after experiencing the legacies of the Three Sects and countless wonderful methods, and obtaining the Two Pole Universe Light Disk on Two Pole Star, everything was taken care of, and in the last one hundred and fifty years, he had repeatedly experimented with 'Derivation Technique - Enlightenment,' mastering all sorts of mysteries.

Leaving no further attachments.

Before departing,

'Enlightening' Lin Feng, Lin Ye, Mountain Wind, and Skylark, he bestowed each a Divine Skill as a farewell gift.

As for Great Divine Powers, they were extremely difficult to practice. Without conditions like Lu Qingfeng's, with both Derivation and Enlightenment at his disposal, they wouldn't even reach the threshold.

Common Divine Skills were more practical.

Enough for them to benefit until they reach the realm of an Earth Immortal or even a Heavenly Immortal.

Not just the four of them.

Wen Guang and Zhang Yanng were each bestowed with two Divine Skills before leaving for training by Lu Qingfeng.

The former received the 'Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light.'

The latter was given the 'Little Thousand Thunder Prison.'

All common Divine Skills.

From now on, they must rely on themselves for cultivation.

As for Fengyue Star's path forward, if Lu Qingfeng could ascertain it, he would naturally guide them, and there would be a day of reunion.

If Lu Qingfeng couldn't find the way forward, and perished in the starry sky, then in this life, hope for a reunion is lost.

When cause and effect end, it's only a matter of time.

Lu Qingfeng, having gone through fourteen lifetimes, had long grown accustomed.

Alone on his journey, he embarked on the cultivation amidst the cosmic starry sky.
