Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009
Heaven and earth’s phenomenon stirred, bringing waves of tribulation clouds. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⟡fire.net
This signifies that an unprecedented Great Power Method is about to be born.
Lu Chenzhou remained calm, waving his hand to encapsulate the great tribulation within his inner world, preventing it from affecting Xia Star.
With his current strength, undergoing tribulation was effortlessly easy.
As the waves of tribulation dissipated, seventy-two True Spirit phantoms surrounded Lu Chenzhou, transforming endlessly.
Those who listened and observed were all shocked.
Some attentive individuals counted and found that these seventy-two True Spirits encompassed almost all the powerful True Spirits from ancient to present.
"Master Lu might have created another astounding Divine Skill."
"Indeed, his prior ’Six Nine Profound Skill’ was the first sequence of the third-step cultivation techniques on the Mystic Sky Divine Skill List."
"This new cultivation technique is undoubtedly the top in Great Power Methods, no dispute."
In the Martial Arts Era, strong practitioners compiled the Divine Skill List.
The Divine Skills created by Lu Chenzhou were renowned, and most were among the best in their fields.
Many studied ’Six Nine Profound Skill’, but very few mastered it.
Among the cultivation techniques Lu Chenzhou created, ’Six Nine Profound Skill’ was also the most difficult.
Of course, it was also the most practical; mastering one cultivation technique was equivalent to grasping fifty-four Divine Skills.
[Please name the new martial art], came the prompt from the Martial Arts Tree.
"Seventy-two transformations, then it’s Eight-Nine Profound Skill," Lu Chenzhou said.
[Martial Art: Eight-Nine Profound Skill (Perfection)]
[Divine Skill: 72 Transformations]
[Quality: Great Divine Power (Thirty-six Patterns)]
[Level: Nine Realms (Intermediate)]
[Introduction: Encompasses seventy-two true spirit transformations of this world, able to freely transform into true spirits of this world, and temporarily gain their innate Divine Ability]
"The new 72 Transformations require no True Spirit Essence Blood anymore, as I’ve fully analyzed and reconstructed the True Spirit Divine Power from the Dao’s perspective. As long as the Dao understanding is sufficient, their Divine Powers can be replicated without taking the shortcut through Essence Blood. Consequently, I have seventy-two additional Divine Skills."
Of course, limited by the disparity in Lu Chenzhou’s Dao level, not all transformations could exert the strongest power.
For instance, now at the ninth rank of Power Extreme Dao, transforming into the True Spirit of the mighty elephant, mastery of extreme palm power was most suitable.
Amid countless people bidding farewell, Lu Chenzhou rose and departed.
He had stabilized his mid-stage ninth-rank realm, merely waiting to prove himself in a battle with the Holy Lord.
With ’Eight-Nine Profound Skill’, he was brimming with confidence.
Seventy-two True Spirit transformations were enough to toy with a host of ordinary True Gods.
Time flew by, and it was the year 2383 of the Tianxia Calendar.
After becoming a Daoist Couple with Lu Chenzhou, Yaochi Immortal moved from Kunlun to the small world.
Every time Lu Chenzhou preached, she was always by his side.
Back home, the two of them would continue to study the Dao together, and under Lu Chenzhou’s guidance, Yaochi Immortal’s progress was swift.
Now she also possessed second-step strength.
In terms of pure physical body realm, Yaochi Immortal was second only to Lu Chenzhou, the Dragon King, and the Priest among the Martial Artists of Tianxia.
She was even a notch stronger than the Eternal Immortal.
Lu Chenzhou’s goal was to cultivate Yaochi Immortal into an Immortal at an early stage.
That way, he could be at ease when away from home.
Through countless Yin-Yang unions, new life silently gestated within Yaochi Immortal.
"It’s here..." Lu Chenzhou gently touched Yaochi Immortal’s abdomen, feeling indescribable joy in his heart.
"It’s a boy," Yaochi Immortal smiled, as beings of their level could sense the gender at the moment of successful Yin-Yang union.
At the zygote stage, a boy was a mass of Innate Pure Yang Qi, while a girl was Taiyin Qi.
"I’ll be cultivating at home during this period, not heading out," Lu Chenzhou said.
"Alright, leave whenever you need to; having a child is a small matter." Yaochi Immortal felt immensely happy inside.
Lu Chenzhou was a thorn in the side of the Evil God and had stirred up three demons, so he dared not leave, fearing his family might get implicated.
This was also a major reason why he hesitated for so long about finding a partner.
Time passed, and ten months later, new life was born.
Compared to Blue Mountain’s reincarnation, Lu Chenzhou’s child appeared much more normal, just an ordinary person.
A pair of eyes, jet black and profound, skin like creamy jade, chubby and endearing.
"Looks like a martial arts prodigy at first glance," Lu Chenzhou chuckled.
"Then you should teach him well," Yaochi Immortal said.
In this era, not practicing martial arts is not an option; only by becoming strong can one have a chance to survive, otherwise, they can only rely on others for protection.
If it were a time of peace, letting the child live an ordinary life would be fine too.
"To be a grandma now... it’s not easy." Li Xianghua, approaching two hundred years old, wept tears of joy.
"To see this scene before I die is worth it," Lu Guoping laughed.
"Don’t say that, Mom and Dad; with Lu Chenzhou’s Withering and Flourishing Dao, you can live another hundred years without a problem," Yaochi Immortal said.
Yaochi Immortal’s parents had long since passed away in the old era, so the elderly couple was her only parents.
Even though she was older than them by three hundred years...
Each time Yaochi Immortal referred to them so politely, the elderly couple was overwhelmed with joy.
After all, they were ordinary people; they couldn’t have dreamed that an elite powerhouse like Yaochi Immortal would call them Mom and Dad.
"With the longevity treasures and methods I’ve given you, living to three hundred years shouldn’t be a problem," Lu Chenzhou said.
When his cultivation advances further, he will be able to gain heavenly creation and extend his parents’ lifespan, although it will come at some cost.
"Let me see my nephew," Ji Feiyan excitedly ran over and picked up little Lu, "So handsome, inheriting the beauty of the Yaochi Immortal."
"Indeed, although Chenzhou has superior talent, when it comes to looks, he’s not quite up to my younger days," the elder Ji reminisced about the glorious years.
"It’s so great." Shi Ruyu pinched the child’s cheeks, overflowing with happiness.
The whole family gathered around, taking advantage of little Lu’s young age to play with him.
Otherwise, once he becomes a Martial Arts Genius, they will rarely have the chance to meet.
"By the way, what’s his name?" Wang Changming asked.
"Lu Qianfan sounds good," Lu Chenzhou replied.
"Hahaha, this name is good; I originally disagreed with your father naming you Chenzhou," Li Xianghua laughed.
The arrival of Lu Qianfan brought a touch of color to Lu Chenzhou’s tedious and dull cultivation life.
Days passed by, and soon Lu Qianfan was three years old.
This child was intelligent from a young age, learned to read early, far surpassed Lu Chenzhou at a young age.
The Yaochi Immortal had long transmitted some foundational knowledge of Pile Skill, Acupoints, and martial arts to little Lu through prenatal education.
It’s a method similar to enlightenment.
As years went by and little Lu’s brain developed, he gradually began to understand it all.
Although he can’t compare to Blue Mountain’s reincarnated body, he is definitely a top-level Martial Arts little genius.
"Mom, can I start learning martial arts now?" Lu Qianfan asked earnestly, practicing horse stance with fists swinging in the air.
"Ask your father," replied the Yaochi Immortal with a smile.
"You can start learning, but this means you can no longer sleep in; you must wake up on time," Lu Chenzhou said.
Generally speaking, such a young child isn’t suitable for martial arts training.
But the current situation is special, and he himself has many secret techniques and heavenly treasures, methods to eliminate side effects.
"Okay!" Lu Qianfan said confidently.
Thus, Lu Chenzhou would dedicate a segment of each day teaching his son martial arts.
Lu Qianfan’s martial arts level grew day by day.
At this rate, he might become a Martial Arts Grandmaster before the age of eighteen.
In Lu Chenzhou’s time, such things were unimaginable.
With the Dragon King and him pioneering the Nine Realms, the peak of Da Xia Martial Arts has long surpassed the past by hundreds of times.
The difficulty and success rate of breakthrough realms are far higher than in the past.
Moreover, with Nine Apertures Exquisite Grass and other acupoint-opening auxiliary methods becoming common, faster martial arts cultivation is an inevitable trend.
Of course, heart realm and willpower cultivation have no shortcuts.
Lu Chenzhou continually emphasized this to Lu Qianfan, that heavenly materials and treasures cannot compare to real battle and hard training.
Thus, early on, he sent Lu Qianfan into his own worldly body.
There, he created various transcendent life forms.
The little boy was simultaneously scolded by his father and fighting fierce beasts and birds in the wilderness, growing quickly.
The Yaochi Immortal did not intervene in this, for she went through similar experiences.
Since slaying the Demon Lord, Lu Chenzhou seldom enjoyed lengthy peaceful days.
But that day was destined not to be long.
One day, he was teaching Lu Qianfan "All Things Fist."
Lu Chenzhou said sternly:
"’All Things Fist’ is a compulsory course in the Myriad Phenomena Dao; it is a foundational fist technique formed after integrating all previous Elephant Form Sect styles, and it is my most important research accomplishment, founded on the practice groundwork of the sage Ling Kong. Cultivating this punch does not require sticking to old Elephant Form sect distinctions, but your heart must encompass all things, letting the fist technique be natural and adaptable. When your ’All Things Fist’ reaches perfection, you can study the true skill ’All Things Formulas,’ then advance to ’All Things Divine Skill,’ and finally learn our Myriad Phenomena Dao’s strongest cultivation method, ’Eight-Nine Profound Skill!’"
The Yaochi Immortal watched this heartwarming scene, feeling quite satisfied.
"I really wish these days could go on forever."
She longed to wake up one day and find the gods among the stars were merely a nightmare.
Thinking of Lu Chenzhou’s upcoming confrontation with the True God, even possessing an immortal body, she was exceedingly worried.
Tianxia Calendar year 2390.
Seven-year-old Lu Qianfan officially became a Martial Artist and prepared to enter the Myriad Phenomena Dao Palace for studies.
To protect the son from being assassinated by opposing forces, except for a few close friends, no one knew Lu Chenzhou had a son.
"Do I need to use an alias?" Lu Qianfan looked up at his father.
"Yes, and you can’t reveal outside that you’re my son, or else too many would wish to kill you," Lu Chenzhou said.
"Father, I understand," Lu Qianfan nodded solemnly.
"Also, do not rely on being my son to misbehave outside; I believe you won’t do such things," Lu Chenzhou said.
Lu Qianfan listened obediently to his father’s instructions, remembering every single one in his heart.
"Rest assured, Qianfan is as obedient and hardworking as you were as a child," the Yaochi Immortal felt very gratified.
If the son’s character were like hers in childhood, that would be uncertain.
In her youth, she was feared in the martial world as the relentless witch, unhesitating in killing.
"Of course, if someone bullies you, strike when it’s necessary; if they’re insignificant grudges, resolving them peacefully is best. But if it concerns your life and safety, then kill if you must," said Lu Chenzhou, for he was fighting the Holy Lord and couldn’t be distracted, unable to always protect his son.
"Hmm, hmm." Qianfan entered the academic palace, disappearing from his parents’ sight.
The Yaochi Immortal looked at Lu Chenzhou: "Is it time to make the move?"
Lu Chenzhou nodded: "The Water Mansion has done its utmost but can’t hold on any longer."
