I Only Marry Widows
Chapter 721 - 86: Golden Crow Aspect, Divine Fire Forges the Golden Body
Lu Chengfeng breathed lightly, digesting Hou Yi’s power gifted by his innate talent, and started embarking on the cultivation of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
The Bright Pearl Dharma Form drew upon Hou Yi’s power from the past, manifesting flames, transforming into a Three-legged Golden Crow, Bright Moon Jade Osmanthus, and a human figure.
Four completely different Spiritual Lights intertwined into a pure golden color, falling from above Lu Chengfeng’s head like a fountain.
Swoosh!
With each breath, Lu Chengfeng emitted a thunderous sound, and flames burst from every inch of his skin.
The Spirit Gathering Realm is merely a process of channeling Spirituality, allowing one’s body to gradually become accustomed to this type of Spirituality, thus laying a foundation for the next realm.
The division of the Ten Tiers of Spirit Gathering is merely to facilitate better cultivation and progress for beginners.
For Lu Chengfeng, such small realm divisions held no significance. The cultivation of the Spirit Gathering Realm was almost instantaneous, and in the span of a breath, he had completely mastered all ten tiers.
Next is the Spiritual Light Realm, which depends on the different types of Spirituality acquired previously to refine Spiritual Light with various characteristics.
For cultivators of wind, rain, and thunder Spirituality, their Spiritual Light could transform into elements such as wind, fire, thunder, or lightning. Meanwhile, cultivators of plant Spirituality would mostly possess healing and supportive abilities, while those cultivating the spirit of beasts mainly enhance physical abilities in their initial stages.
Lu Chengfeng directly gathered four kinds of Spirituality and condensed a golden Spiritual Light in just a breath.
This Spiritual Light was entirely different from his previous cultivation system, representing a completely different cultivation path. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Lu Chengfeng slightly attempted, and with a mere thought, this Spiritual Light transformed into flames. As the Spiritual Light had just formed, it wasn’t particularly powerful, resembling a fiery serpent three feet long, with blistering flames.
Although it meant little to him, if the cultivators in the Celestial Court saw a novice reaching this extent in manipulating Spiritual Light, they would likely be dumbfounded.
"This Spiritual Light can unleash the power of flames, and if used to bolster the physical body, strength, power, speed, and reactions are nearly comprehensively enhanced."
"Besides..."
Lu Chengfeng raised his hand, and that Spiritual Light transformed into a bow resembling intricately carved jade, landing in his hand.
He lifted the jade bow slowly, and naturally, countless lethal intents and flames gathered in the void, forming an arrow.
"Not bad!"
Though he didn’t release the arrow, he could feel the power was more than ten times stronger than ordinary flames.
After a brief attempt, Lu Chengfeng continued his cultivation.
The Ten Tiers of Spiritual Light resonate with the heavens and earth, starting to engage with the Spirituality between them, continuously thickening one’s Spiritual Light, and eventually condensing a unique Spirit Form.
Some cultivators possess Spirit Forms of wind, rain, and thunder, others of birds and beasts, and some of gods and demons.
In just a few breaths, Lu Chengfeng absorbed Hou Yi’s gift, advancing rapidly, and soon condensed a Spirit Form.
At this moment, behind Lu Chengfeng, a Great Sun suddenly appeared, within which a Three-legged Golden Crow spread its wings, letting out a clear crowing sound, echoing throughout the grand hall.
This Three-legged Golden Crow seemed to emerge from mythical tales, traversing ancient times, emitting endless light and heat, exuding a majesty and nobility that illuminated the heavens and surveyed the universe.
Each of its feathers seemed crafted from Divine Gold, exquisite and magnificent, with veins embodying the mysteries of the world’s essence, as if every feather contained countless runes flickering, weaving the mysteries of the Great Sun, time, fire, life, destruction, and more.
Ordinary creatures would gain supreme fortune by acquiring even a single feather, enabling them to comprehend numerous Divine Techniques and Secret Techniques, and to establish an immortal ancient Holy Land.
If one could behold this Three-legged Golden Crow in person, simply visualizing it in the mind would grant boundless power and enlightenment to endless mysteries.
"Golden Crow Spirit Form!"
Lu Chengfeng raised his hand again, and a bow appeared in his hand, clear and intricate like white jade, engraved with countless runes, emanating an ancient and mysterious aura.
"So this is it, the Sun-Shooting Scripture cultivates Dual Spirit Forms!"
"It can manifest the Golden Crow Spirit Form, possessing immense power with the Spirit of Hundred Beasts and the Spirit of Heaven and Earth."
"It can also manifest the Jade Bow Spirit Form, where holding the jade bow allows the user to invoke the power of osmanthus to nourish oneself and gather invisible lethality into arrows, killing from afar."
"When the two major Spirit Forms unite, the Golden Crow transforms into an arrow mounted on the jade bow, intertwining four kinds of power to wield the Sun-Shooting Power."
...
"The next step in cultivation is the second major realm of the Dharma Realm."
"This realm is divided into three layers: Refining Technique, True Skill, and Dharma Body."
"The Spirit Realm is where a cultivator initially recognizes the world and utilizes the process of Spirituality."
"While the Dharma Realm is about using the Spirituality between heaven and earth to evolve and transform one’s essence of life."
"According to the cultivation system, Dharma Form Great Powers of the Three Realms are merely comparable to experts in the Dharma Body Realm."
Lu Chengfeng smiled bitterly at this thought because the Heaven and Earth Emperor’s Path Formation Map was not the real Three Realms; it was merely an exceptionally magical scroll.
Its inner world and Great Tao were incomplete, not the true Three Realms, merely a segment of time sealed away in the past.
"According to Chang’e, my strength in the Dharma Form Realm is equivalent to the Refining Technique or True Skill stage, unable to compete with true experts in the Dharma Body within the Celestial Court."
"Unless I enter the true Chaos Celestial Abyss, leveraging the Power of Chaos to refine and temper my Dharma Form, strengthening my own foundation. As long as I don’t perish, I can barely make up for some part."
"Of course, to completely amend it, I would need some real Chaos Treasures, which are invaluable treasures across all of Chaos."
"After all, the foundation is something every cultivator has to mend, and treasures capable of rectifying the foundation are truly precious in the grand scheme of Chaos."
Lu Chengfeng shook his head helplessly. For now, he couldn’t consider this path, but refining in the Chaos Celestial Abyss seemed a viable option.
"I directly used Hou Yi’s gift to cultivate the Sun-Shooting Scripture, a path taken most securely without any shortcomings, wielding power that is complete and intact."
"If I achieve the Dharma Body, I should be able to punch those three Celestial Venerates to death, right? No matter how deep their foundation, they’re ultimately part of an incomplete principle within the scroll."
Lu Chengfeng was somewhat eager, thinking, if he had sufficient strength, who would be willing to hide in a corner? He would have already leapt out to upend everything.
"No rush, continue cultivating!"
He took a deep breath; Hou Yi’s power was immensely powerful, achieving the second layer Divine Body in the Divine Realm, a terrifying existence.
Digesting his power to directly cultivate the Sun-Shooting Scripture could be described as supreme fortune and Creation. Lu Chengfeng advanced almost without encountering any bottlenecks, advancing at a blistering pace that left others speechless.
Cultivation in the Spirit Form Realm did not last long; in about half a quarter of an hour, this realm was cultivated to Tenth Layer Perfection, with the Golden Crow Spirit Form and Jade Bow Spirit Form seeming to materialize, circling Lu Chengfeng while exerting stronger and stronger pressure.
Flames coiled, the Golden Crow’s caws echoed, bowstrings vibrated, and invisible killing intent permeated the air.
In such a scenario, Lu Chengfeng once again broke through, crossing the bottleneck of a major realm, advancing directly into the second major realm, the Dharma Realm.
The difference between the Spirit Realm and the Dharma Realm is akin to the difference between humans and immortals within the Three Realms, like transitioning from a person to an immortal, with a chasm so vast it seems insurmountable.
Thus, the division of major realms exists.
Spirit Realm, Dharma Realm, they are two entirely different beings.
First Layer of the Dharma Realm, Refining Technique.
Lu Chengfeng, however, forcefully advanced with exceptional power.
