I Only Marry Widows
Chapter 673 - 65: Celestial River as Wine, Azure Clouds for a Bed
Only the martial path could make her feel clear-headed and rational.
More than two hundred years passed, countless days and nights, who could have imagined the loneliness and pain she had endured over these years?!
Zhu Yuxian even harbored hatred towards him, hated him for provoking her, hated him for abandoning her after the first passion.
But until this moment, until this man stood before her, using his body to hold up the sky for her, allowing her to hide behind him.
Zhu Yuxian suddenly felt that none of it mattered anymore, she didn’t want to worry about martial arts or tribulations anymore, all the hatred in her heart melted away like snow and ice.
She always didn’t want to be a little woman hiding behind this man, but when she truly hid behind him, she felt an indescribable peace and warmth.
There was even a feeling of wanting to rely on him for a lifetime.
Unknowingly, the white dragon she had transformed into gradually shrunk, about only one zhang long, wrapped around Lu Chengfeng’s body, the dragon’s head peeked out from Lu Chengfeng’s shoulder, seemingly leaning against it.
One human and one dragon, their bodies entwined.
Clearly facing the Heavenly Path Torrent, clearly terrifying tribulations, yet there was an unspeakable warmth and naturalness.
The celestial river as wine, Bi-Xia as the bed.
Even the flow of time seemed to halt at this moment.
...
Although Lu Chengfeng felt Zhu Yuxian’s actions, he couldn’t afford to care about them at the moment; all his mind and soul were immersed in the sea of consciousness at the center of his brow.
Using the Path of Taotie Devouring, he devoured the Biluo Celestial River, not to amplify the power of Taotie Transformation, but to pour the infinite waters of the celestial river into his own lifebound Dharma Form.
Seeking to leverage the Heavenly Path Torrent, to further develop his own great path.
All these years he had been constantly developing his own great path, accumulating deeply, receiving countless gifts, yet striving to cultivate a transformation to the twelfth layer and reach the Heavenly Path was never simple.
He possessed the Bright Pearl Dharma Form, containing the Power of Time, Pure and Muddy World, but still needed sufficient resources to evolve.
And at this moment, the infinite celestial river waters were the best resource.
Lu Chengfeng revealed the not-yet-fully-developed Golden Silkworm Transformation and Celestial Spider Transformation, burning the infinite celestial river waters, activating the Power of Time, enabling these two transformations to gradually evolve towards perfection.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Amidst the Pure and Muddy World, a Six-winged Golden Cicada unknowingly appeared, this Heaven and Earth Alien Species was enveloped in a hazy radiance, its three pairs of wings like celestial sabers, able to cut through spring and autumn, devour lifespans, extremely fierce.
This was one of the transformations Lu Chengfeng chose to cultivate—the Six-winged Golden Cicada Transformation.
This Heaven and Earth Alien Species had unleashed catastrophic calamities in ancient times, countless beings slain by its six-winged celestial saber, and with its divine techniques, it seized lifespans.
The path it walked was the Path of Spring and Autumn, boasting such terrifying slaughter, relying on the robust body innate to alien species, and the speed granted by six wings.
Its great Tao divine technique, Spring and Autumn Saber, one slash could cleave through time, one slash cut life and death, even the undead would have their lifespan and vitality seized, incredibly dreadful.
At first, this transformation was merely at the first layer, but over these years Lu Chengfeng had constantly developed it, managing to cultivate it to the third layer, though the twelfth layer was still extremely distant.
After all, the Path of Spring and Autumn was rooted in time, and also merged with various Heaven and Earth Laws, every step left extremely challenging.
In Lu Chengfeng’s view, the Path of Spring and Autumn was no less than the Path of Guanyin practiced by Guanzizai.
Yet at this moment, the infinite celestial river waters irrigated, the Power of Time burned like flames, completely engulfing the body of the Six-winged Golden Cicada.
In a trance, it seemed the Six-winged Golden Cicada transcended the river of time, casting its gaze towards the future.
Using the Power of Time as wings, it sought to turn spring and autumn, directly leaping to the time of great success cultivation.
The aura of this fierce beast began to climb at an extremely terrifying speed.
Fourth layer, Fifth layer...Seventh layer...
At the same time, transparent threads interwove into a net and outlined a colorful celestial robe, draping over Lu Chengfeng.
This was another transformation—the Celestial Spider Transformation.
This transformation used karma threads to weave a net, capable of predicting fortune and misfortune, sensing disturbances before autumn winds stirred, immediately detected by the karma net.
Its great Tao divine technique comprised celestial robes woven from karma threads, wearing the celestial robe allows one to understand karma, know fortune and misfortune, and disrupt heavenly secrets.
This divine technique transformation originally was at the Fifth Layer, yet the great Tao was lacking, theoretically able to cultivate to the Twelfth Layer, yet impossible to create heaven and earth.
Before the transformation, Lu Chengfeng had developed it to the Seventh Layer, and now, with the irrigation of celestial river waters, it rapidly advanced and refined.
...
The Heavenly Path Torrent descended, everything happened extremely quickly, in the blink of an eye, Zhu Yuxian’s White Dragon True Form was completely achieved.
Her body and Divine Soul, Tao Seed unified, fully transformed into this White Jade True Dragon.
However, she differed essentially from those of the Dragon Race; in some sense, akin to Tao Transformation, born of heaven and earth, similar in essence to celestial deities and innate gods and demons born of heaven and earth.
Not of the True Dragon Race, but a Dragon-shaped Celestial God.
With her complete refining of the White Jade True Dragon form, she could immediately employ divine techniques and transformations to manifest a human form.
Merely, the human form now was no longer her true body, merely a divine technique transformation.
Zhu Yuxian lay in Lu Chengfeng’s embrace, gazing at the man’s profile, her face showing a mix of scolding and joy, with countless words in her heart, yet unable to speak any.
At this moment, the celestial river descending from the heavens began to thin, ultimately dissipated completely, all phenomena in heaven and earth vanished, as if none of it had ever happened.
Lu Chengfeng swallowed the last mouthful of Biluo Celestial River, licking his lips with some reluctance, then turned his gaze to the woman in his embrace.
"Master, long time no see!"
Upon hearing his words, Zhu Yuxian felt an urge to cry, her spirit so resilient, yet always showing her most vulnerable side before this man.
But besides that, she originally harbored endless hatred and resentment.
Yet from the moment this man stood before her, she could no longer hate, no longer resent.
Zhu Yuxian slowly extended her fair, slender fingers, rested them on the man’s cheek, gently stroking.
Her other hand suddenly grasped fiercely, making Lu Chengfeng’s complexion change.
"You are really ruthless, not having seen me once over all these years."
This statement was filled with endless resentment and tenderness; Lu Chengfeng originally wanted to explain, but before he could speak, he heard Zhu Yuxian say viciously in his ear, "Want me."
As these words fell, a tremor ran through Lu Chengfeng’s heart, his gaze resting on the woman in his embrace with an extremely radiant face.
At this moment, words were unnecessary.
"Master, I missed you so much."
His heart was full of tenderness; facing this woman in the past always filled him with fury and madness, always wanting to vent.
But after more than two hundred years, upon meeting once again, his heart held only tenderness and longing.
Yun for a bed, sky for a blanket, waves gradually rising.
Yet shortly after, Zhu Yuxian couldn’t help but mock coldly, "Is this all you got? Not even as good as you over two hundred years ago, truly useless."
Lu Chengfeng’s face slightly darkened; he originally thought they hadn’t seen each other for so many years and wanted to treat her gently.
But this woman thoughtlessly.
Let’s see, over all these years she hadn’t changed, still likes being tormented.
"Good Master, since that’s the case, don’t blame me for unleashing harshness."
Lu Chengfeng’s eyes shimmered with profound light, his entire being began to exude a savage aura.
