"We previously speculated that if Qi Yuan breaks through to Celestial Human, he might transform into a Red Flood Dragon, with a formidable body, self-born powers, manipulating water and fire, and able to fight Celestial Humans."

Lu Chengfeng was pensive, "Are all the First Seats worried that the Red Dragon might possess him and escape?"

Zhu Yuxian nodded, "That's right, although possession is mostly just legend, historical records indeed show that there were Celestial Human demons that could use a woman's womb to possess a fetus and live again."

"The characteristics shown by Qi Yuan are really too shocking, no one dares to take risks, so he is suppressed with a Sword Array."

Lu Chengfeng blurted out, "Why not just kill him outright?"

Zhu Yuxian couldn't help but laugh, "If he dies, who's going to be the Sect Leader? Being able to openly and rightfully suppress the Sect Leader, allowing each peak to make its own decisions, isn't that satisfying?"

"If Qi Yuan really dies, that would be the trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng was speechless. Although he had gone through many things and his martial arts improved rapidly, he had very little exposure to these power struggle tactics and was only now learning about the hidden tides and disgraceful things within the Yuncang Sword Sect.

However, he was indeed very interested in Qi Yuan.

Because for him, the gifted talent has almost reached its limit now.

The main point of gifted talent is to find the widow of a strong person, but in the Thirteen States of the World, there are very few Celestial Human strong persons, and immortals are nowhere to be seen, which sets a limit for gifted talent.

Even if he marries many widows of Half-Step Celestial Human, it only slightly enhances the foundation, and being invincible at the same level, what of it?

So, Lu Chengfeng's focus naturally shifted to the widows of Celestial Humans.

But most Celestial Human strong persons have a lifespan of over two hundred years, and by the time they fall, their wives and concubines have long become skeletons in their graves.

Celestial Human strong persons chasing the Heaven and Earth Law for a long time, have very little interest in worldly desires, and it's rare for them to marry or take concubines at the end of their lives.

For Lu Chengfeng to marry a widow of a Celestial Human, a Celestial Human first needs to fall, and the wives and concubines must still exist, such conditions are indeed too stringent.

Now, among the visible Celestial Humans, besides King Xiang of Youdu and the Heaven-Suppressing King of Central Capital, in the south, there are also King Han, King Chu, and King Wu who are all Celestial Humans.

The three kings of the south vie for supremacy, Celestial Human power balancing one another, which has been ongoing for decades, and with Central State as a barrier, it has instead given the Northern Lands' Youdu an opportunity to engulf the North.

The Celestial Humans who have fallen in the past, the closest to now is Ancestral Master Shaoyang, but even that was decades ago, and that master never married or took concubines in life, not to mention leaving behind any widows.

If Lu Chengfeng wants to advance further, besides finding a way to cultivate and break through on his own, the simplest shortcut is the widow of a Celestial Human; a Celestial Human must first fall.

This is what troubles him most right now!

If he had the power to kill a Celestial Human, there wouldn't be this much distress.

Therefore, after hearing about Qi Yuan's status, he was intrigued, thinking that if Qi Yuan could break through, there might be some maneuvering possible.

Yet what Zhu Yuxian said is not without reason, once that Red Dragon possesses Qi Yuan's body and escapes, everyone's in trouble.

However, he didn't want to give up just like that.

Since returning from the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre, he hadn't told anyone about his experiences there, but his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of urgency and even fear.

He even began to study and ponder on gifted talent, hoping to try more applications to increase his strength.

"Qi Yuan has no wives or concubines. If I send a woman his way, when the time is ripe and Qi Yuan falls, would these women count as widows?"

Lu Chengfeng silently calculated in his heart, knowing well his own talent, if he wanted to break through to Celestial Human through cultivation alone, it would surely require a long time and effort.

And the Ninth Layer of Celestial Human, each step is a leap to heaven, gets harder as one proceeds.

Gifted talent relies on others, if others are not strong, how can he grow?

At his current cultivation realm, his sight is no longer limited to ordinary authority and resources, the power struggles among the elders of each peak seem as ridiculous as wild chickens fighting in his eyes.

In the Ancestral Hall's recent deliberations, those people spoke words like knives, with hidden jabs at each other, arguing for a long time before a preliminary plan for dealing with Youdu was decided.

Thus Lu Chengfeng called it a farce.

"To me, now even if I marry more wives and concubines, it doesn't mean much, it's merely slightly more foundation."

"Only the widow of a Celestial Human is the best resource."

"Qi Yuan..."

Lu Chengfeng's eyes were deep, "Besides him, there is another person, and that is the Lord of Youdu."

"Zhu Yuxian's stepmother, now the princess consort of King Xiang, is still living well."

"But that princess consort is not simple, having a daughter taken by an Immortal, which involves huge karma."

"Not to mention the Lord of Youdu, who might very well be the most terrifying existence today..."

He couldn't help but think of the Heaven-Suppressing King, the scene witnessed in the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre sent chills down his spine.

Lu Chengfeng always felt the Heaven-Suppressing King couldn't just watch Youdu engulf the Northern Lands and then sweep across Central State, yet the Heaven-Suppressing King remained inactive, and the Celestial Patrol Department's actions were restrained, truly perplexing.

But after seeing the Heaven-Suppressing King in person, he understood everything.
