When dawn broke the next day, Lu Chengfeng opened his eyes, and a flash of fire passed through his pupils.

He slowly stood up, with True Qi circulating through his limbs and bones, and his five viscera and six bowels felt as if they were soaked in a hot spring, causing all previous pain to have dissipated without a trace.

Even the overall disposition of his entire being had undergone a very subtle transformation, becoming less shadowy and profound than before, and gaining a touch more radiance and grandeur.

The heart holds, and life transforms mutually.

"Divine Skill truly can be transformative!"

Although it's just the initial mastery, he could already feel the subliminal transformation within himself.

Lu Chengfeng carefully sensed for a moment before lifting the Cold Cicada Sword and walking outside.

At this time, there was no one outside. The courtyard was empty, except for a large locust tree, lush and verdant.

With a clang, Lu Chengfeng drew his sword, and the sharp sword blade gleamed with a cold light under the sunlight.

He took a deep breath and began practicing from the Bixiao Sword Manual. Suddenly, sword moves unfolded like a vast azure sky; grand and solemn, with Inner Strength surging like turbulent waves, endlessly.

The Inner Strength and sword moves cooperated like a blue sea under a clear sky, wondrous and limitless, resembling a scroll painting, refreshing for the viewer.

Though Lu Chengfeng had not deliberately practiced this swordsmanship, he had spontaneously deduced it to the Eighteenth Layer. Although he no longer possessed Jade Wave Internal Power, the Red Dragon True Intent propelled it so smoothly that he could exert seven-tenths of its might.

After completing a full rendition of the Bixiao Sword Manual, Lu Chengfeng shifted to display the Profound Crane Thousand Shadows Ghostly Sword Technique, with sword light misty and swift, evolving life and death's ghostly mysteries.

Lu Chengfeng had the deepest insight into this swordsmanship, wherein the transformation of life and death aligned with the dragon transformation of Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon, achieving nearly eight-tenths of its power.

Once practiced, the sword light shifted again to the Life-taking Impermanence Sword, no longer just in appearance this time. With the gift from Handsome Yama, he had already comprehended this swordsmanship to the Twenty-First Layer.

In the past, he had not focused on this swordsmanship, nor had he practiced its True Intent, merely having its form.

Now with the Red Dragon True Intent, the form and spirit were synchronized. Even if Handsome Yama came personally, this was the genuine Life-taking Impermanence Sword, albeit the subtlety of the swordsmanship displayed was slightly shallow, and its power slightly diminished.

After practicing this swordsmanship, Lu Chengfeng was still not satisfied and promptly showcased the Flying Saber technique Yama Saber, obtained from Zhao Changzhen's gift, the Soul-Devouring Claw, and the Blazing Fire Spear learned from Zhao Family Ancestor.

All martial arts flowed smoothly and were available for ready use, truly astonishing.

"I possess gifted talent, wanting to cultivate various martial arts to profound realms is effortlessly easy, with just a bit of honing to integrate them into my martial arts system."

"Fist, palm, finger, claw; swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks; hidden weapons and crossbows, all martial arts can be deduced to remarkably profound realms."

"Thus, within the same level, who can stand against me?"

Lu Chengfeng felt the terrifying aspect after the Divine Skill and gifted talent combined. Even for Celestial Human Realm experts, their lifespans have limits; what they value most is comprehending Heavenly Dao and refining their spirit, unable to continually practice various martial arts and incorporate them into their own system.

At most, they choose the most compatible ones, making their combat system complete, and that's enough.

But Lu Chengfeng possesses gifted talent, deducing other martial arts to profound realms only requires him to marry wives and take concubines, without expending much time and effort.

Thus, with Divine Skill driving various martial arts, he can master all martial arts and become an extremely fearsome entity.

Previously, Lu Chengfeng's strength lay more in martial arts realms rapidly advancing after receiving gifts, competing within the same tier, not necessarily able to always defeat others.

When he killed Li Chengqian, he relied largely on the Half-Step Celestial Human martial arts realm and insights.

But as his cultivation realm climbs higher, he will eventually face Half-Step Celestial Human existences and even stronger entities.

In such scenarios, battling within the same tier tests spiritual will and depth.

And gifted talent can provide him a cumulative advantage far surpassing anyone else.

"Originally, I thought the gifts I had received before had become somewhat meaningless, even if no better candidates appeared henceforth, the effects of gifted talent would gradually diminish."

"But looking at it now, I was too shallow!"

He thought of One-Eyed Mountain Eagle's archery technique, Mad Ascetic's Mad Demon Saber Technique, and the Li Family's Wind and Thunder Thunderbolt Palm.

Each martial art possesses its unique mystery, integrating Ten Thousand Laws in one furnace, using Divine Skill as the backbone would be sufficient to make oneself the most unique and fearsome existence under the heavens.

"Maybe one day, I will have the qualification to be called the Martial Treasury, hahaha!"

"Thus, I must marry wives and take concubines more and more, the more the better!"

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile. The existence of Divine Skill allows gifted talent to exert even greater effects, mutually supplementing each other, widening his martial arts path.

After practicing all martial arts once, he returned indoors to continue absorbing gifts.

Once exhausted, he consumed pills to cultivate the Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon Technique.

He immersed himself in cultivation, indifferent to external matters.

Yet, the other three disciples of Yuncang Sword Sect grew increasingly anxious, unable to sit still in their rooms, going out early and returning late each day, trying every possible way to communicate and connect.

For the fifteenth of July was drawing increasingly near...
