Chapter 124 - 118 Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture_2
Lu Tianxiang felt that with her talents. self-proclaiming as a breathtaking
heavenly maiden who dazzles the Divine Province was not an overstatement, right?
Could the Da Qian Empire boast even a handful of Third Grade talents like her? Perhaps only Prince Wu’an was one.
In the whole Xuan Domain, talented individuals with Third Grade aptitude were pitifully scarce—countable on the fingers of three hands, and even if there were some hidden, their total number wouldn’t exceed twenty.
“Xiangxiang, your unmatched talent makes you the foremost under the heavens, and your dazzling brilliance astonishes both the ancient and modern world.”
Han Li said with a smile, his large hand caressing her belly, feeling the little life inside.
“Heh, smooth talker.” Lu Tianxiang coldly chuckled, yet the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved into a crescent moon.
After thinking for a while, Han Li couldn’t help but ask, “Xiangxiang, with your talent, even if you made a big mistake, that sect behind you wouldn’t give up on you, right?”
A talented individual with Third Grade aptitude, if heavily supported with various resources, had a great chance of ascending to the True Martial Realm.
With the birth of an Emperor Wu, a top-notch power’s foundation could be greatly strengthened—what mysterious force would be so shortsighted?
Lu Tianxiang fell silent for a moment, then slightly shook her head, “They only knew I had Fourth Grade aptitude.”
“No wonder,” Han Li suddenly realized.
The probability of ascending to the True Martial Realm with Fourth Grade aptitude was much smaller than with Third Grade aptitude, but it was still hopeful. Yet, its significance was far less than that of Third Grade aptitude.
“It’s a good thing they didn’t know,” Han Li thought to himself, feeling relieved.
If that mysterious force knew of Lu Tianxiang’s true aptitude, they probably would have rushed to support her immediately… No, if they had known, Lu Tianxiang probably wouldn’t have been dispatched to cause trouble in Da Qian in the first place.
Without Lu Tianxiang’s arrival, how would he have had the chance to capture her, marry her, and have her bear his offspring?
Lu Tianxiang was of Third Grade aptitude, and he was of Fifth Grade; with both their cultivation levels, their first child had a good chance to be Third Grade, possibly Fourth Grade, while the likelihood of Fifth Grade or lower was actually quite small.
Whether it was an offspring of Third or Fourth Grade aptitude, both would significantly enhance his own aptitude; and since this would be the first offspring of that grade, he would receive a substantial reward, and his strength would surge.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Tianxiang continued, “Actually, I was initially of Fourth Grade aptitude, but then I encountered a great opportunity, and my talent improved by one grade.”
Han Li’s pupils contracted, thinking of something, and he asked, “Does this have something to do with the main cultivation technique you practice?”
When Han Li inspected Lu Tianxiang’s spatial bracelet, he had discovered that technique, which piqued his interest, so he took a closer look, but ultimately he didn’t take it.
That cultivation technique was called “Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture,” which sounded very majestic, as if it was a legendary Immortal Scripture. However, Han Li found that the scripture was incomplete.
The incomplete “Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture” had only ten levels and was a lower-grade Heaven Rank cultivation technique; it could be cultivated to the True Martial Realm, suggesting how strong the complete version must be.
If the name of this technique was not arbitrarily chosen, it very well might be a true Immortal Scripture, a genuine technique for becoming an immortal.
Although he had only briefly perused some of it, Han Li was still deeply shocked. If the scripture were complete, it indeed might enable one to become an immortal. He finally understood how Lu Tianxiang managed to rapidly sweep through half of Huozhou with the White Lotus Cult.
It was a scripture that bestowed immortality through faith, with oneself as a deity, spreading one’s true name to gain the belief of all living beings.
The more people who believed in Lu Tianxiang, the faster her cultivation would rise, breaking through realms swiftly, emerging as a formidable force.
When belief was abundant, a Faith Halo would coalesce behind the practitioner’s head, from ethereal to tangible, and with each successive halo, more and more belief would be required.
For each additional Faith Halo, the practitioner’s strength would greatly increase, and with every gesture, they could receive augmentation; one could even burn through the Faith Halos for a one-time burst of formidable strength.
The Immortal Scripture recorded that the Faith Halos would continuously bolster the practitioner’s strength—a single halo by thirty percent, three halos doubling the strength, and nine halos tripling it.
It could be said to be incredibly terrifying; indeed worthy of an Immortal Scripture. Without resorting to bursting techniques, to triple one’s strength is impressive, but when burning the Faith Halos, strength could exponentially skyrocket.
Every Cultivator who practices the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture could claim supremacy within the same realm, and overcoming those of higher levels was effortless, provided that they condensed enough Faith Halos.
According to the scripture, Cultivators of the Myriad Phenomena Realm needed to condense nine Faith Halos, and upon merging them into one, they could refine the Martial True Pill and advance to the True Martial Realm.
During his fight with Lu Tianxiang, he discovered that she had invoked the Faith Halo at the back of her head to augment her strength, which was only one, showcasing her cultivation level.
“That’s right,” Lu Tianxiang admitted frankly.
When she first entered that ruin, there was a corpse inside that, despite having been dead for countless years, still emitted an immensely powerful aura that made Lu Tianxiang extremely wary.
Lu Tianxiang explored the ruin for a long time, nearly dying in the process, but ultimately she obtained the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture and some of the faith essence remnants from that corpse.
It seemed that the faith essence was specifically left for the inheritors, and a voice had echoed in her mind when she accepted the inheritance, followed by the emergence of a Secret Technique.
This secret technique could be operated to refine the remaining faith essence, enhancing the aptitude of the inheritor. The lower the aptitude, the greater the enhancement.
Without hesitation, Lu Tianxiang operated the secret technique and refined the remaining faith essence, raising her aptitude from Fourth Grade to Third Grade, nearly touching Second Grade.
This was her greatest opportunity and also her biggest secret, which Lu Tianxiang told no one and dared not reveal the slightest bit.
Both the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture and the secret technique were crucial – they were the support for her rise; she also wanted to try and see if she could further elevate her aptitude.
But the amount of faith required was far beyond her expectations.
At first, the amount of faith essence seemed small, but Lu Tianxiang later realized it was incredibly vast; she would have to cultivate to the Divine Yuan Realm or even the Tongxuan Realm to condense that kind of faith essence, and it would also take a significant amount of time and consume countless faith.
In her eagerness to rapidly ascend to the Myriad Phenomena Realm and not die in the Daqian Empire, she was somewhat too hasty in spreading her faith and the three Faith Halos she condensed were strong on the outside but dry inside, flashy without substance.
According to the cultivation technique, three Faith Halos correspond to the third heaven of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, yet she only had one heaven’s worth.
Only after burning the Faith Halos to rebuild did her Faith Halo start to become genuine. Even though it was only one, it was equivalent to the previous false three halos and corresponded to the first heaven of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
Now without even one Faith Halo, her combat ability plummeted, making her one of the weakest in the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
Han Li did not press further, sighing deeply, he said with concern, “This cultivation technique must have pitfalls, not everyone can bear the burden of faith and incense offering.”
“Moreover, this Immortal Scripture is incomplete, lacking the subsequent techniques; practicing it may ultimately play into someone else’s strategy.” Lu Tianxiang fell silent.
She had her suspicions for some time, but as of yet, she had not seen any signs nor come up with a solution.
Giving up the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture was out of the question for her. She could only continue to practice it, hoping to become stronger and find solutions to potential problems later.
Perhaps the reason why the Immortal Scripture was incomplete was deliberate, aiming to entice inheritors to cultivate to the True Martial Realm and then search for the subsequent techniques, which could likely be a trap.
Suddenly, Lu Tianxiang felt the embrace of a broad and solid chest. Han Li wrapped his arms around her, lifting her chin, and kissed her red lips before saying solemnly,
“Don’t worry, I will take care of everything.”
No matter what perils lay behind the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture, Han Li would try to resolve them. Lu Tianxiang was his wife, and it was his duty to protect her.
Even if he was not strong enough now, he would certainly be powerful enough in the future.
The Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture might be profound, but it could hardly compare with his System. By the time Lu Tianxiang cultivated to the True Martial Realm, Han Li would have reached the Divine Yuan Realm, or even the Tongxuan Realm, and perhaps even higher realms.
If the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture really was a trap, and the person who set it dared to show themselves, Han Li would dare to slap him dead with one blow.
Hearing this, Lu Tianxiang stared blankly at Han Li, looking into his earnest eyes, and somehow, she no longer kept a cold face towards him, but instead gently “Hmm”ed, and rested her head on Han Li’s shoulder
