I Only Marry Widows

Of course, Lu Chengfeng still had to find a way to gather detailed intelligence on those powerful Celestial Demons and Six Desires Celestial Demons himself.

However, with Qi Lingxi’s assistance, it was possible to sort out the topographical map of the Celestial Demon Continent, as well as the distribution of cities and Celestial Demons, and then proceed to test the intelligence one by one according to the map.

But all of this was even more troublesome than Lu Chengfeng imagined. The Celestial Demon Continent was too large, with one state being equivalent to the size of nine provinces and forty-eight counties, each equivalent to a Red County.

Although the Ancient Mirror in Qi Lingxi’s possession was incredibly mysterious, her own cultivation was too low, so exploring such a large area thoroughly was truly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Time slowly passed...

Every time after Qi Lingxi’s exploration, Lu Chengfeng would use the Great Sun Divine Techniques to predict the future, dispatching his true form to investigate the specific intelligence of the Celestial Demons in the region. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The reason for not taking direct action but using Divine Techniques to predict was firstly because his true form’s ordinary actions caused too much commotion, easily alerting those Celestial Demons, which would then prompt them to respond or even lay traps for him.

The Celestial Demons were not mindless fools, and Lu Chengfeng would not forget that, according to the memories of the next hundred thousand years, behind the Celestial Demon Continent lurked a terrifying existence on the level of a Celestial Venerate.

He certainly did not want to invite trouble upon himself at such a time.

Moreover, exploring little by little would take too much time, making the completion of the mission within three years nearly impossible.

With Divine Techniques, regardless of the time spent in deduction, only an instant would have passed in the outside world.

Although consuming substantial resources, given that Lu Chengfeng was now a Fourth Grade Venerate, being well-funded, such consumption was insignificant.

...

Lu Chengfeng, while collaborating with Qi Lingxi to create the map of the Celestial Demon Continent, rapidly absorbed and digested the gift from Black Water Profound Origin True Monarch of Yu Du.

This True Monarch, having practiced for eighteen thousand years, indeed had insights into cultivation, comprehension of combat techniques, and understanding of the world that far surpassed his own.

Even though Lu Chengfeng continuously expended resources deducing his two main combat techniques, the path to the Totem Realm still stretched long before him, let alone achieving the Fighting Dharma Form.

As he continued to refine Yu Du’s gift, his understanding and realization of combat techniques grew deeper.

Combat techniques are an integration of one’s own Divine Techniques, mind, and the Heavenly Path’s Authority, guiding principles specializing in the arts of warfare.

However, they are also crucial prerequisites for advancing to the Dharma Form.

The so-called Dharma Form is to take one’s own Great Tao to the utmost, then overlook inclusively all laws, evolving one law to derive ten thousand laws.

In simple terms, the True Immortal Realm requires cultivating one’s Great Tao and Divine Techniques to their pinnacle, evolving them to their utmost.

Whereas Dharma Form Great Power requires using one’s own Great Tao to evolve all the ways of heaven and earth, deducing one’s Great Tao into a complete Heavenly Dao.

The Dharma Form is centered on one’s Lifebound Divine Techniques, integrating various magic and Divine Techniques, attempting to depict the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, also known as Tao Fruit.

However, employing one’s Lifebound Divine Techniques to integrate other Divine Techniques is nearly impossible and exceedingly arduous.

Being of different Great Taos themselves, it is not so simple to incorporate them.

Combat techniques serve as a bridge, cultivating various combat techniques, evolving different totems, and finally integrating numerous totems into the Fighting Dharma Form.

This Fighting Dharma Form does not truly integrate all the Divine Techniques together but forms a fighting system, allowing various Divine Techniques to harmonize, unleashing even greater combat power.

The more totems integrated into the Fighting Dharma Form, the stronger the combat power. However, taking the final step to transform the Fighting Dharma Form into a Lifebound Dharma Form may become increasingly difficult.

The Fighting Dharma Form is categorized by star level based on the number of integrated Divine Techniques and the inherent Heaven and Earth Law.

A Fighting Dharma Form fused with three Divine Techniques is the lowest quality Dharma Form, yet it is the easiest to advance into a Dharma Form Great Power. This such Fighting Dharma Form is of Lower Grade, said to have the power of one star, capable of holding down the territory of a county.

A Fighting Dharma Form fused with six Divine Techniques, in both difficulty and quality, is much rarer than a single-star Dharma Form. Once advanced, even in the Divine Court, it becomes a pillar and backbone, known as a Middle Grade Dharma Form, equated with the All Heavens Star Monarchs, capable of swallowing the territory of a prefecture.

An Upper Grade Fighting Dharma Form fused with nine Divine Techniques is rare throughout the Divine Court. Upon its advancement, it is bound to be bestowed as a Third Grade Celestial Monarch, holding high authority, overseeing a domain.

A Top Grade Fighting Dharma Form fused with twelve Divine Techniques belongs to the realm of Nine States Taoist Masters and Eight Divine Venerates. Looking across the Three Realms, there are only a dozen or so in existence. With Divine ordainment, they can contend with Celestial Venerates, becoming true Governors of the Divine Court.

Since the path of the Fighting Dharma Form was established, naturally, ambitious individuals sought to integrate more Divine Techniques, refining higher quality Fighting Dharma Forms.

However, human power is limited. The higher the quality and the stronger the combat power of the Fighting Dharma Form, the difficulty of taking the final step to metamorphose into a Lifebound Dharma Form increases a hundredfold or thousandfold.

Throughout ancient and modern times, countless heroes have condensed middle and upper-grade Fighting Dharma Forms, yet cannot break through, dying after nine thousand years, such a tragedy.

Thus, many Immortals no longer passionately pursue combat power, as achieving a Dharma Form Great Power allows one to enjoy a lifespan of thirty thousand years, living carefree in the human world.
