Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 393 - 369: Body Separation, Hun Mountain Luo Fu
"Not so,"
Lu Qingfeng shook his head and said to Ao Le, "It's just a hundred years, and under the various expectations of the king father, one must move around a little to keep father's heart from going cold."
Since ascending to the Core Formation Stage in the Immortal Dao cultivation, one now possesses full self-protection power, no need to keep as low profile as before.
Even if Min River Dragon Lord didn't mention it, Lu Qingfeng would have started eradicating the demons within the territory.
Recruiting Luo Fuzi was preparation for this.
As for the nine Mirror Stones,
firstly, Lu Qingfeng indeed lacked them; the six Mirror Stones he had were far from enough to support his cultivation in all aspects.
Secondly, if such a powerful figure as 'Luo Fuzi' is willing to obey the orders of Lu Qingfeng, who holds not such a good reputation as the Min River Palace Prince Consort and the Yuan Lake Water Lord, without a high offer, others will inevitably be suspicious.
"Husband, tricking king father's Mirror Stones in front of Le'er, aren't you afraid it will dishearten father and Le'er?" Ao Le, wrapping her arms around Lu Qingfeng's arm, rested her chin on his upper arm and looked up at him playfully.
"If you don't tell, king father won't know and won't feel disheartened."
"As for you."
Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but chuckle, "At worst, when the nine Mirror Stones are acquired, I will give you four."
Snow Eagle Mountain's Luo Fuzi agreed to serve Lu Qingfeng for a hundred years in exchange for nine Nine Flower Mirror Stones.
Lu Qingfeng didn't have them.
Just as Ao Lie came over, they talked about it. Ao Lie readily promised, saying that king father would definitely not refuse.
In the Min River Dragon Palace's Fourth Realm, powerhouses are few and far between, including the Min River Dragon Lord, not more than a handful. Recruiting Luo Fuzi, a Third Realm invincible master, would inevitably reward a Fourth Grade Divine Position.
However, Divine Positions, even for Min River, it's like a carrot for a hole—once a position is given, one less remains. Although Mirror Stones are precious, with the influence of Min River, more can always be collected.
Nine Nine Flower Mirror Stones, though painful to part with, if they could recruit an invincible Third Realm master with them, it wouldn't be a loss.
Even if they could not be retained after a hundred years.
With a hundred years buffer, perhaps Lu Qingfeng's cultivation in the Life Dao could reach the Fourth Level and produce Dan Fire, serving as protection from the Min River Dragon Lord for this future Fourth Realm powerhouse in the palace.
Ao Lie was confident in it, and so was Lu Qingfeng.
As for 'disheartenment', 'guilt'—
Indeed, there was also.
"Can only repay the Lord Father-in-law when the son-in-law's cultivation has achieved success."
Lu Qingfeng, feeling apologetic, silently thought this, facing in the direction of the Min River Dragon Palace.
"I surely don't want to join husband in wrongdoing."
Ao Le shook her head, rubbing her chin on Lu Qingfeng's arm.
"Spouses are birds of the same forest."
"You hid the fact that you altered the Five Thunder Heart Sutra from king father, yet do you still think to keep yourself righteous?"
Lu Qingfeng snapped back to his senses, reached out, and ruffled Ao Le's head, teasingly said.
"Hmph."
"Fine, so husband already planned to involve me. I am going right now to tell father and third brother."
Ao Le let go of Lu Qingfeng's arm and pretended to walk away.
Lu Qingfeng exerted a slight force on his arm, stepped to the side, and pulled Ao Le into his embrace, whispering into her ear, "Third brother and father are eagerly awaiting to have nephews and grandsons, if you go back, with whom do I shall have children?"
"Ah!"
Hearing this, Ao Le's eyes widened and fell on Lu Qingfeng, her face suddenly blushed, "Husband eavesdropped on me talking with third brother."
"Only heard half of it."
"It seems my guess was right. Spring nights are short, and you and I still need to strive, making amends for the past." freewebnoveℓ.com
Lu Qingfeng smiled, picked up Ao Le, and headed towards the inner chamber.
A night of spring breeze.
…
Yuan Lake Water Palace.
Lu Qingfeng was seated in meditation.
Ao Le had broken through to the Gathering Law Realm after three years in seclusion, Lu Qingfeng had also recently passed the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, ascending to the Core Formation Stage, both needed to stabilize their cultivation.
After three days of intimacy, they returned to focussed cultivation.
As for descendants.
Though pushed by Min River Dragon Lord and Ao Lie, life is extremely difficult to conceive for cultivators, and being of the Dragon Clan, Ao Le found it even more challenging.
One could only leave it to nature and not force it.
Lu Qingfeng was not in a rush.
Ao Le was even less prepared.
It was better to wait until he achieved the Primordial Spirit or even the Mahayana True Immortal Realm, see Ao Le's willingness again before considering having children. By then, Lu Qingfeng would also have already made his mark, possessing self-protection power within the Immortal Qin Realm, and his status would surely not be low.
If Ao Le were willing, then they would have children.
Thus,
whether in cultivation or personal safety, their children would be assuredly protected.
No need to rush at the moment.
For now, the couple without children were carefree and easygoing, primarily focusing on cultivation as usual.
In the quiet meditation chamber.
Lu Qingfeng was seated.
In front of him stood a giant standing seven zhang tall, his eyes vivid blue, face covered in fur, evidently a Demon Ape, only that this 'Demon Ape's' aura was sometimes strong, sometimes weak, flickering in and out, appearing rather eerie.
Occasionally, a cluster of flames would burst forth from his body.
Be it the flame or the body of this Demon Ape, Lu Qingfeng was very familiar with them all.
Lu Qingfeng clasped his hands forming a Seal Technique.
In an unknown part of the Demon Ape's physical body, streams of Divine Light flowed unpredictably, randomly traversing, sketching mysteries within the Demon Ape's body.
The Seal Technique outside.
Fell onto the Demon Ape's body, revealing mysterious patterns, precisely talismans, which penetrated the body of the Demon Ape from the outside to the inside.
Thus, internal and external refining merged.
Time unknown.
Suddenly, inside and outside the Demon Ape's body, countless beams of Divine Light burst forth, and thousands of talismans appeared all at once.
In the middle of the Demon Ape's body.
Streams of Divine Light unexpectedly converged and fell into an unknown mysterious place. Amidst the flickering light, a vague human silhouette emerged.
Standing in the midst.
As the human silhouette descended, the four quarters reverberated with thunderous sounds. The Demon Ape, initially an ethereal and illusive entity, now seemed to descend from the void onto the ground, as if transitioning from illusion to reality.
Its aura changed instantaneously.
The eyes of the Demon Ape suddenly emitted Divine Light, and its seventy-foot-tall body also began to move.
Initially somewhat stiff, it soon moved freely, and amidst unsteady swaying, the body transformed from seventy feet tall to nine feet tall. Aside from the hair on its head, all other hair receded, transforming into a burly man with disheveled hair and a rugged face.
Opening its mouth, it bellowed loudly—
"From today onwards, I am Huntian!"
The voice echoed in the quiet room, and Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, exchanging a glance with this 'Demon Ape', and couldn't help but laugh.
This was indeed a jest.
"Body Separation."
"One with the self!"
Lu Qingfeng looked at the Demon Ape, overjoyed.
Forty years of meticulous refining.
From the initial Divine Soul Thought to embedding it into the Demon Ape's physical body, continuously nurturing and strengthening that Divine Soul Thought. Most of the time was spent on six Mirror Stones.
As the Divine Soul Thought underwent a quantitative to qualitative change, the Second Primordial Spirit was accomplished.
With the experience of ascending to Primordial Spirit in his previous life, although Lu Qingfeng had only recently reached the Core Formation Stage, and even had lower cultivation before, relying on the 'Body Separation' Great Divine Power and leveraging the experience of ascending to Primordial Spirit, he achieved the Second Primordial Spirit through the wonderful method of Great Divine Power.
Speaking of the Second Primordial Spirit.
It is quite different from the Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit, it's more appropriate to call it the Second Divine Soul.
Forty years of refining.
This Second Divine Soul was continuously refined within the body of the Demon Ape, utilizing talismans, magic gates, etc., and only today did it truly master the Demon Ape's body, accomplishing a complete Body Separation.
The Great Divine Power was refined, integral with Lu Qingfeng, and without a separate personality division. Just like limbs, merely as one.
Considering carefully, Lu Qingfeng in his previous life already possessed the 'Body Separation' divine power, but at that time, apart from Immortal Artifacts on Lu Qingfeng's person, there were only Sixth Rank Magic Artifacts, and 'Body Separation' was just a standard Divine Power.
Unable to refine Immortal Artifacts and only at the Golden Core Level, he couldn't cultivate Body Separation. And Lu Qingfeng disdained the Sixth Rank Magic Artifact, thus kept studying but never tried.
This lifetime.
Finally achieved.
Like the Sword Cultivator Luo Fuzi on Snow Eagle Mountain outside Yuan Lake, he is the first Body Separation that Lu Qingfeng refined.
"Luo Fuzi."
Thinking of this embodiment, Lu Qingfeng's heart filled with joy—
Eighty years ago.
Not long after Lu Qingfeng took on the position of Yuan Lake Water God, managing the heavens and inspecting the divine domain, perhaps it was fate, perhaps by chance, the Great Divine Power 'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number' sensed an opportunity.
This Divine Power, representing life through Seven Birds, measuring the earth and heavens, observing phenomena based on elements, focusing on spirit manipulation, silently noting coming and going.
Ascending to Great Divine Power further enhanced its wondrous uses.
When destiny beckoned, there was a response.
Lu Qingfeng immediately calculated and with 'Heavenly Listening and Earthly Viewing Great Method' and 'Daluo Cave Temple', he explored and discovered a cave dwelling of an Immortal Qin Qi Cultivator seven thousand miles away from Yuan Lake.
This was the first opportunity Lu Qingfeng found within a hundred thousand miles in a century.
Also, the only one.
The first embodiment—'Luo Fuzi', was crafted from the Eighth Rank Magical Artifact 'Three Light Heavenly Xin Sword' obtained from that cave dwelling.
[Magical Artifact: Three Light Heavenly Xin Sword]
[Grade: Eighth Rank]
[Description: Crafted by the Immortal Qin Qi Cultivator, Tian Xinzi, from White Iron Essence. Utilizing ingenious methods, consisting of thirty-three 'Sun Xin Swords', thirty-three 'Moon Xin Swords', and thirty-three 'Star Xin Swords'. Ninety-nine swords combined can achieve the Three Light Heavenly Xin Sword, its power comparable to an Eighth Rank Magical Artifact. Having been nurtured in Tian Xinzi's cave dwelling for many years, each sword has reached the pinnacle of Seventh Order, and combined, they are comparable to the pinnacle of the Eighth Order]
The Three Light Heavenly Xin Sword.
This was Lu Qingfeng's greatest gain from Tian Xinzi's cave dwelling. Comprising ninety-nine Flying Swords, each sword, when separated, ranks at the pinnacle of Seventh Order. Combined, they are even comparable to the pinnacle of Eighth Order.
It resembled the twelve Du Tian Fierce Fire Divine Banners that Lu Qingfeng obtained from White Rock Mountain in the Red Smoke Realm, both ingeniously crafted differently.
Used to refine the Body Separation.
When it first appeared forty years ago, it was at the Peak of Core Formation, its battle prowess unmatched among those in the Core Formation Stage. Slaying Snow-Slaying Eagle Mountain's Tianxuan Demon, it gained fame far and wide.
Since the embodiment is achieved through a magical artifact, its physical body is that of the artifact, and the artifact is its body.
An Eighth Rank Magical Artifact, indestructible except by Mahayana True Immortals.
Just this alone.
'Luo Fuzi' could stand undefeated in both Core Formation and Primordial Spirit Realms. Even if outmatched, there is no worry of perishing.
And the second Body Separation Lu Qingfeng refined was accomplished by refining the body of the Tianxuan Demon initially.
"Tianxuan Battle Ape!"
Lu Qingfeng and 'Hun Mountain' looked at each other, both laughed.
Speaking of the Tianxuan Battle Ape.
Back in the Red Smoke Realm, entangled through several lifetimes, the first recipient of the 'Demon Evil Entangling Silk Divine Spell' ultimately slain in the Dutian Fierce Fire Immortal Array, was the 'Huntian Demon King', who was a Tianxuan Battle Ape wielding the 'Tianxuan Star Fire', possessing notable combat prowess.
Unexpectedly, in this life within the Immortal Qin Realm, he would encounter another of the same species.
Truly, the whims of fate are profoundly mysterious and indescribable.
