Unlike any previous ti of receiving gifts, the golden light, burning intensely like a fla, transford into a Red Dragon the instant his spirit united with it.
Lu Chengfeng felt an incredible pain, as if he were being scorched by the fierce fire of a Red Dragon, the pain piercing his very bones and soul, leaving him unable even to faint.
As ti gently passed, when Lu Chengfeng finally reached the limit his Spiritual Will could endure, the fla, Red Dragon, and golden light all vanished without a trace.
His spirit broke free in that mont, returning to his body, and within just a few breaths, he found himself in a seated position, asleep.
Only when the sunlight of the morning brightened the next day did Lu Chengfeng slowly open his eyes, feeling an indescribable sensation upon awakening.
Although there was no significant change in his body, the purity of his True Qi had increased slightly, yet he felt unprecedented ease and joy.
It was as if his spirit had shed a massive burden and could effortlessly and freely control his body.
"This is..."
Lu Chengfeng carefully examined the changes within himself, slowly coming to understand after a long while, "My Spiritual Will has been tempered."
Even though it was the sa body, he could clearly feel he was capable of unleashing faster speed, greater strength, and his True Qi flowed more smoothly.
Although he hadn’t tried to execute a sword move yet, he knew his Swordsmanship would certainly improve, raising his strength at least by ten percent compared to before.
But that wasn’t the most important thing; the key was that he seed to have invisibly absorbed so martial insights from the Half-Step Celestial Human, giving him a completely new understanding of his Martial Arts.
It was an extrely subtle sensation, not a re increase in power, but an ability to effortlessly turn the mundane into the miraculous and unleash more terrifying destructive power in combat.
Simultaneously, he received a scroll of the Unparalleled Divine Skill "Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon," though only the opening part due to not fully absorbing the gift.
Strangely, he hadn’t absorbed any mory fragnts from the Half-Step Celestial Human.
"At the Half-Step Celestial Human Realm, even the act of receiving a gift is so different, its Divine Skill and martial insights turning into a phenonon, tempering my Spiritual Will. Only by constantly enduring this tempering can I digest the gift within."
"Moreover, there are no mory fragnts..."
Lu Chengfeng faintly sensed the fearso nature of the Half-Step Celestial Human, as the absence of mory fragnts could only an one thing: that even their mories contained terrifying dangers.
"Celestial Human, once those two words are touched, one is no longer ordinary..."
Lu Chengfeng slowly stood up, once again feeling the profundity and unreachability of the Path of the Celestial Human.
He had already received quite a few gifts.
The Twenty-Fourth Layer of the "Profound Crane Thousand Shadows Ghostly Sword Technique,"
The Twentieth Layer of the "Life-taking Impermanence Sword,"
The Twenty-First Layer of the "Yama Saber,"
And the First Layer of the Unparalleled Divine Skill "Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon"...
As for other Martial Arts, though they had their unique features, they were not cultivated to advanced realms and were hardly worth ntioning.
"With just two more absorptions of gifts from the Half-Step Celestial Human, using their vast martial insights, I can confidently elevate the ’Profound Crane Thousand Shadows Ghostly Sword Technique’ to the Twenty-Fourth Layer in one fell swoop."
"This ans I only need to accumulate enough resources for one Sword Talisman Out-of-Body to be completely sufficient."
"But is there any need to continue cultivating the ’Profound Crane Thousand Shadows Ghostly Sword Technique’?"
Lu Chengfeng was sowhat hesitant; at his realm, having cultivated a Sword Intent, or True Intent of martial path, ant his martial path was almost locked in.
From a certain perspective, Sword Intent is the product of the fusion of Spiritual Will and martial arts mysteries, aid at better controlling Essence, Qi, and Spirit, to unleash stronger destructive power with less effort.
A person can hardly possess multiple types of True Intent simultaneously, because even if one can comprehend different Martial Arts to extrely advanced realms, the spirit remains singular.
If one manages to cultivate two True Intents, it could only suggest that the person is ntally divided, approaching insanity.
Furthermore, possessing two True Intents would not make one’s strength significantly greater, as the Essence, Qi, and Spirit within are constant, not enhanced by having two Intents; it rely adds another martial thod.
"Once Sword Intent is achieved, the martial path is nearly set. If one wishes to switch martial paths, one must abandon current skills and rebuild from scratch."
"This not only requires a massive expenditure of resources, but the most critical aspect is that no one can ensure that rebuilding will lead oneself to a higher martial arts realm than before."
"The noble families and major sects often have the paths planned for those talented disciples early on, eliminating the need for skill abandonnt and reconstruction."
"Only those lone cultivators from small sects think of abandoning skills when their path reaches a dead end due to lack of better martial arts manuals."
"But after the abandonnt and reconstruction, there are very few good outcos, given that the martial arts realm falls drastically, and it takes decades to cultivate a new martial art to True Intent, and how much lifespan does a person have in one life?"
"Thus, abandoning and rebuilding is often a last resort, and the vast majority wouldn’t choose this path."
Lu Chengfeng recalled how Zhu Yuxian advised him against using the ’Profound Crane Thousand Shadows Ghostly Sword Technique’ to forge Sword Intent, because taking this path would be far more arduous.
