I Only Marry Widows

Lu Chengfeng also did not know if his gifted talent was the so-called Immortal Bone, but his ability was indeed special. As long as he married the widow of someone else, he could acquire decades of cultivation in just one night.

This was practically taking the achievements of heaven for himself, which was vastly different from the normal Immortal Bone that Zhu Yuxian described.

Since Zhu Yuxian interpreted his cultivation change as a Fire Attribute Immortal Bone, he naturally accepted it, which also prevented all kinds of speculations from others outside.

Pretending to be a genius with a Fire Attribute Immortal Bone was far better than exposing his secret as a collector of widows.

"Master, since you've seen immortals, do you know where in the world they are? Are they really in the so-called Immortal Realm?" Lu Chengfeng asked.

Zhu Yuxian shook her head, "I'm not sure if there is an Immortal Realm, but according to ancient legends, if you head north from Yun State, there will be a chance to reach the place where immortals reside."

"Yun State?" Lu Chengfeng's face showed a look of surprise.

"Indeed." Zhu Yuxian pointed to the sky in the north and said, "Yun State is a desolate place, seemingly endless. Once, a Celestial Human strong person journeyed for decades trying to find the land where immortals dwell, only to be trapped in a naturally formed Miracle Realm, barely escaping death."

"Miracle Realm?" Lu Chengfeng felt that he heard too many things today that he had never encountered before.

Zhu Yuxian said, "I have never encountered a Miracle Realm myself; I've only read about it in writings by Celestial Humans. It holds various mysterious elements, like a mirage."

"The stronger a person is, the harder it is to escape from it; ordinary people, however, are not affected at all."

Lu Chengfeng listened quietly; matters like immortals or Miracle Realms felt too distant to him, more akin to legends and stories.

Had it not been for Zhu Yuxian mentioning it, he would have never believed that immortals really exist in this world.

Lu Chengfeng suddenly felt a bit puzzled. With Zhu Yuxian's strong Immortal Will, how could she possibly be willing to marry another man, bearing and raising children for him?

"Master, since you are resolute in seeking immortality, why did you choose to marry Junior Martial Uncle Xun in the first place?"

Zhu Yuxian glared at him, "Is this a question a junior like you should ask? Mind your own business."

Lu Chengfeng was somewhat speechless. This woman changed her face so quickly; she was speaking well just now, and in the blink of an eye, she turned unrecognizable.

"I am merely curious. With Master's Spiritual Will, you shouldn't be a typical woman content with home and hearth."

In fact, he had been curious about this for a long time. Based on Zhu Yuxian's temperament, what kind of man could make her willingly marry him, and remain in the Yuncang Sword Sect, guarding as a widow for twenty years.

After last year's battle, Lu Chengfeng privately investigated Zhu Yuxian's background, only to gain little insight. Few in the sect knew of their master's true background.

During the war, Li Tingfeng referred to her as Commandery Princess, which clearly indicated Zhu Yuxian hailed from Youdu.

Why she came to Yuncang Sword Sect and even married the previous Young Sect Leader certainly held an untold secret.

"Some things are none of your concern, and you need not ask. My going down the mountain this time is partly to escort some supplies for the sect, and also to meet you."

Zhu Yuxian suddenly sighed, "On July 15th, the Lord of Youdu will descend upon Yuncang Mountain; a world-altering battle will certainly ensue then."

"What becomes of Yuncang Sword Sect after this battle remains unknown."

"The fact that you've found a foothold in Yuchuan County is a good thing; it means that for both you and the sect, there's at least a way out."

"With your Immortal Bone, you have the hope of achieving Celestial Human status; having acquired the Divine Skill inheritance, all you need to do is cultivate step by step. You will surely become one of those who dominate the world's affairs in the future."

As Lu Chengfeng listened to her words, he inexplicably felt a sense of sorrow, as if she was bidding farewell.

He furrowed his brows, "Master, since you are a person of Youdu, why are you putting your life on the line for Yuncang Sword Sect?"

"There are things you don't understand; this is something I owe him." Zhu Yuxian spoke calmly; her words were light, yet incredibly firm.

Lu Chengfeng felt an inexplicable discomfort. He harbored ambitions towards Zhu Yuxian, partly because he desired the gift she carried.

But seeing her care so deeply for a deceased man made him feel somewhat displeased.

"Was Junior Martial Uncle Xun really that good? Is that why you can't forget him?!"

He didn't know how, but this sentence suddenly slipped out.

Zhu Yuxian raised her hand, initially intending to punch him, but seeing Lu Chengfeng standing there, unflinching, she suddenly lost interest.

"Do you know why I insisted on you practicing the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Scripture back then?"

Lu Chengfeng said, "It should be to allow me to practice the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, right?"

"Correct." Zhu Yuxian nodded, "Since you know of the Celestial Human Nine Realms, you should understand that not all Divine Skills can be cultivated to the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Human."

"Divine Skills also have levels; the most basic ones can only be cultivated to the Twenty-Eighth Layer, while perfect ones, also known as Divine Techniques, can reach Thirty-Six Layers of Perfection."

"From what I know, in the Thirteen States of the World, divine secret manuals that can be cultivated to the Ninth Layer of Perfection include the 'Heaven and Earth' of the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, the 'Qianyuan Golden Tripod' of the Great Chu royal family, and the 'Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword' of the Yuncang Sword Sect."
