CHAPTER 188: CHAPTER 140: SHE UNCONSCIOUSLY PRESSED HER LEGS TOGETHER

At dawn, the firelight dissipated, and the dragon’s roar rested.

The brilliant golden sunlight poured over the mountains.

It was July, and as the sun rose, it began to get hot.

Lu Chengfeng sat cross-legged on the bed, drawing essence from all directions into his body. Behind him, a spectrum of blue, yellow, black, white, and red intertwined, with a fire dragon roaring and coiling around his body.

Through the condensation of two talismans of law intent, his body underwent two cleansings by heaven and earth, gradually transforming and ascending in life form. His muscles, bones, skin, and membranes seemed cast from bronze and iron, indestructible, imbued with the principles of law, as if marked with runes, remarkably mystical.

Within the sea of consciousness at his Spirit Platform, the Five Elements Divine Light Talisman resembled a peacock’s feather, or a sword artifact flowing with divine light. After absorbing and refining the Five Peaks’ secret skills and the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Scripture, this talisman became more intricate and detailed, seemingly alive, breathing essence, elevating this cultivation technique to a higher realm.

The newly condensed Red Dragon Law Intent, its runes like a thumb-sized flood dragon, wreathed in blazing golden fire, composed of a myriad of dense runes, embodying the profound meaning of the Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon.

What surprised Lu Chengfeng was that the Red Dragon Law Intent circled around the Five Elements Divine Light Law Intent, as if a divine dragon encircling a sword artifact, subtly resonating with some of the runes within it.

The two resonated, their power subtly enhanced.

This result made Lu Chengfeng’s eyes light up.

"Is it because the principles of the Fire Element belong to the Five Elements Law?"

He speculated in his heart.

At this time, new True Qi had already sprouted within him, cultivated through the Great and Small Celestial Cloud Light Escape Technique.

Xun Shuijing had originally cultivated this technique to the Twenty-Seventh Great Perfection, just without the condensation of law intent; after Lu Chengfeng fully absorbed the gift, his proficiency in this technique was no less than Xun Shuijing’s.

However, previously due to cultivating the Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon, the Great and Small Celestial Cloud Light Escape Technique could only be cultivated to the Eighteenth Layer, unable to refine the True Intent; now, with a breakthrough, Lu Chengfeng switched his main cultivation technique to the Great and Small Celestial Cloud Light Escape Technique.

Leveraging the essence of heaven and earth during the breakthrough of the Red Dragon Law Intent, he cultivated this remnant of the Immortal Scripture to the Twenty-Second Layer in one stroke.

The Great and Small Celestial Cloud Light Escape Technique cultivates the Path of Cloud Water, and once mastered, with a mere thought, one can soar with the wind, riding the cloud light, freely and unrestrained.

Although it’s just a remnant, it can still be cultivated to the Thirty-Fifth Layer, truly a rare body technique and escape technique divine skill in the world.

When Lu Chengfeng cultivated this technique, there were some problems when condensing True Intent. He habitually acted with consideration, inherently decisive and ruthless, prideful as an ordinary man seeking the will of a commoner.

But the Great and Small Celestial Cloud Light Escape Technique pursues carefree freedom, its chant says: "Heart like floating clouds always at ease, intent like flowing water goes east and west."

One could say this cultivation technique had low compatibility with Lu Chengfeng.

Even after fully absorbing Xun Shuijing’s mastery in this technique, Lu Chengfeng’s breakthrough was forced, as he was not such a carefree and uninhibited person.

After breaking through, the Cloud Light True Intent transformed into pieces of clouds and mist, suspended in the sea of consciousness at the Spirit Platform, turning into raindrops after refining the internal essence, falling into the limbs and bones like rain, nourishing the physique.

Even just this cultivation process contained the wonders of cloud and water.

Lu Chengfeng chose to cultivate this technique because it is a wonderful technique for self-preservation; if truly outmatched, with a sweep of cloud light, he could soar into the sky and leave without a trace.

Normally, the less one is compatible with a divine skill, the harder it is to cultivate, requiring ten or a hundred times the effort of others. Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng, having refined the gift, has his cultivation technique self-formed, sparing him from self-cultivation and comprehension.

Only the final step, condensing law intent, would be a difficult barrier for him.

After all, with low compatibility, and Xun Shuijing not having condensed law intent, it was evident how difficult it would be for him to break through relying solely on himself.

Lu Chengfeng sorted through his internal state, with a thought, retracted both major law intents and the Cloud Light True Intent, causing the phenomena outside his body, the glow, and the fire dragon to completely vanish.

He slowly opened his eyes to see Zhu Yuxian already dressed, in a red gown wrapped around her body, ribbon cinched at the waist, yet her black hair was let loose, her jade feet bare on the ground.

She held a sword in her plain hand, the cold blade stopped at his throat.

"Lu Chengfeng, you beast..."

Her face was pained and regretful, emotions intertwined in complexity, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Lu Chengfeng, however, was indifferent, instead chuckling softly, "My dear, you’ve awoken? What, do you want to kill your husband?"

"You deserve to die!" Zhu Yuxian said through gritted teeth, "How dare you humiliate me so, torment me so, I wish to kill you with a single sword."

"Then do it!" Lu Chengfeng was even more aggressive than her, even leaning his neck forward, "Come on, come on, kill me with one sword, kill the man who overpowered you, who humiliated you, come on, do it."

"You think I won’t?" Zhu Yuxian tightened her grip, the longsword emitted a resounding hum like a dragon’s cry, flames and golden light flowing along the blade.

This sword was the Red Flood Dragon Sword, refined by Xun Shuijing with Red Dragon Essence Qi and many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, once housing the Red Dragon Primordial Spirit. It could be said to be a divine weapon sword embryo, and after undergoing heavenly baptism, it could grow talismans, transforming into a divine weapon.
