I Only Marry Widows

"Although there's been no news of him achieving the Half-Step Celestial Human in recent years, this does not mean that he is mediocre. On the contrary, he may very well have greater ambitions and aspirations."

Lu Chengfeng nodded, finding nothing surprising in these words. He had seen Li Chungen once, in the Central Capital. This person didn't have a sinister aura; instead, he appeared quite dignified.

Lu Chengfeng was very wary of him, which is why he came to consult Zhu Yuxian before the battle.

"I suspect that he intends to create his own Divine Skill, using the Wind and Thunder Thunderbolt Palm as the foundation, to forge a Martial Path that perfectly aligns with himself, thereby making a breakthrough to Celestial Human in one stroke," Zhu Yuxian said. "Secret manuals of divine skills in this world are hard to find, and to find one that matches oneself is even harder."

"Throughout history, there have been grandmasters of martial arts who created their own Divine Skills by integrating various martial arts into one, thus founding an unprecedented Divine Skill."

"Anyone capable of creating a Divine Skill has an understanding of the Heaven and Earth Law far beyond ordinary people, so condensing the Primordial Spirit is as simple as eating or drinking for them."

"They don't even need a Divine Weapon to embody the Law Intent. The day the Divine Skill is completed is the day the Primordial Spirit is condensed and the Celestial Human realm is breached."

"This is another path to break through to Celestial Human, the path of Enlightenment to create Dharma."

"But this path is too difficult, often only a once-in-a-millennium martial arts grandmaster can achieve something on it, which is why most people don't take it."

Lu Chengfeng furrowed his brows slightly, "Is Li Chungen's foundation really so deep that he's thinking of creating his own Divine Skill?"

Honestly, this was something he never imagined before, even though he had absorbed the gifts from Zhao Family Ancestor, he was incredibly amazed by the mysteries contained within Divine Skills, needing an extremely long time to fully master and utilize them.

But Li Chungen wants to create his own Divine Skill? Doesn't this mean the difference in their martial arts foundations is immense?

Zhu Yuxian shook her head, "It's not as simple as you think. Transforming True Intent into Law Intent almost represents a celestial chasm, and without a Divine Skill secret manual, many Su Elders from the Martial World are blocked under the Half-Step Celestial Human."

"Therefore, even if Li Chungen cannot create a Divine Skill, as long as he pushes his self-created cultivation technique to the Twenty-Seventh Layer of Perfection, his martial arts foundation and understanding of heaven and earth will reach an unprecedented peak, thus naturally condensing Law Intent."

"Many Su Elders in the Martial World choose to create their own martial arts after being stuck at this step, deducing a Secret Skill to go further, condense Law Intent, and achieve Half-Step Celestial Human."

"Of course, it's very difficult, extremely difficult. Historically, over ninety percent of those who achieved Half-Step Celestial Human trained in Divine Skills."

Lu Chengfeng then understood, "So, Master, you mean that the realm of self-created martial arts, to some extent, represents one's understanding of the Heaven and Earth Law and one's martial arts foundation."

"No matter how high the realm of the cultivation technique from predecessors, it doesn't necessarily correspond to creating a new martial art. This involves a very deep understanding of martial principles and the heavens."

Zhu Yuxian nodded, "That's correct."

"When I fought with you before, your Martial Path True Intent was still relatively pure, so when facing enemies whose Spiritual Will were lesser than yours, you could crush them effortlessly."

"But your Martial Path True Intent is too superficial, like glass, pure but fragile, not having been honed through tempering. When facing a real expert, it will also become vulnerable."

"If we duel, even without using Divine Skills, purely using Martial Will could easily defeat you."

Lu Chengfeng's face darkened slightly, recalling the situation when they had previously sparred. Zhu Yuxian's Immortal Will was terrifyingly formidable. Compared to her, his Martial Path True Intent was indeed too shallow.

"If you engage in a life-or-death battle with Li Chungen in this state, you have at most a thirty percent chance." Zhu Yuxian said.

"Thirty percent chance of winning?" Lu Chengfeng whispered.

Zhu Yuxian shook her head, "Thirty percent chance of not dying, seventy-percent chance he'll kill you on the spot."

Lu Chengfeng's face darkened, "Master, are you underestimating me? I have mastered Divine Skills, even if I haven't reached Half-Step Celestial Human, I shouldn't lose to someone like Li Chungen?"

Zhu Yuxian smiled, "I think you are overwhelmed by your previous achievement of killing Li Xiaotian in a sea of troops."

"The greatest difference between a Half-Step Celestial Human and other martial artists is Law Intent. Law Intent can perceive heaven and earth, drive True Qi out of the body, and thus perform various profound techniques."

"Without condensing Law Intent, it is impossible to defeat a Half-Step Celestial Human. The difference between the two is like a Celestial Abyss."

"And under the Half-Step Celestial Human, among top experts, all martial skills, techniques, and experiences are auxiliary. The most important is the Spiritual Will, the True Intent of Martial Path."

"At this level of expert confrontation, essentially, it's a clash and collision of spirits."

"For your age to have cultivated Martial Path True Intent to the Twenty-Fifth Layer is already quite remarkable, but without honing, it's simply not sufficient to face those ancient figures."

Lu Chengfeng finally turned serious. He originally intended to defeat Li Family in this battle, using Zhao Tianyou's identity to replace Li Family's status in the Celestial Patrol Department, thus requesting an audience with the Heaven-Suppressing King.

Yet, Li Chungen seems to be far stronger than he imagined...

"Master, is there no way I can win this battle? You won't just watch me go to my death, right?" After pondering for a while, with no good ideas, Lu Chengfeng spoke helplessly to Zhu Yuxian.

Zhu Yuxian shook her head, "The time is far too short. To hone Spiritual Will, the simplest method is battle. Through countless battles, constantly tempered, facing great terror between life and death, crossing through countless life-and-death struggles, Spiritual Will will naturally grow stronger."

"In my opinion, you should give up!"

"This battle doesn't even need to happen, it's you who underestimate those old folks too much."

"I can act for you, kill Li Chungen directly, and then he won't show up, ensuring your victory without a fight."

Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng frowned. He wasn't a pedantic person, but making such a decision was still hard for him.

Moreover, if Zhu Yuxian makes a move, the nature of things will change completely. Using Zhao Tianyou's identity, allying with Yuncang Sword Sect to establish a new sect would inherently provoke attention and vigilance from the Celestial Patrol Department and the Central Capital.

If Li Chungen suddenly dies, it could become an unmanageable situation.

Even if Zhu Yuxian's moves are hidden, having Celestial Humans stationed at Celestial Patrol Department makes it hard to predict their foundation, and if the truth is accidentally discovered, it would be troublesome.

At this thought, Lu Chengfeng looked again at Zhu Yuxian. If he could gain the gifts from Xun Shuijing, his martial arts foundation, knowledge, and accumulation would enhance again, and his Spiritual Will would be purified.

"Master, please help me... do it for when I spared Zhou Tong's life..."

Zhu Yuxian glanced at him knowingly, "Alright, I'll go kill Li Chungen for you."

Lu Chengfeng sighed, bowing down, "I only seek a name for this under the snow mountain's peak, heaven and earth as witness, sun and moon as testimony. Once down the mountain, I'll forget this ever happened."

"Besides..."

He paused slightly, "I promise Master, within three days, to acquire the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword secret manual at all costs."

Zhu Yuxian finally remained silent, not looking at Lu Chengfeng anymore, just standing atop the mountain peak blankly, with the cold wind swirling around her, making her appear incredibly oppressed and silent.

After cultivating for so many years, she aimed solely for becoming an immortal, but now...

For the first time, she felt a little lost in her heart, with many memories surfacing uncontrollably in her mind.
