Lu Chengfeng's brow flickered with golden flame, and his entire body was enveloped in a brilliant and dazzling golden light, like a great sun suspended in midair.
His body was emaciated, like a corpse drained of its Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
The martial path consists of thirty-six layers across four realms. No matter how much one cultivates in the first three realms, ultimately, one remains a mere mortal, merely nourishing the tripod furnace, prolonging life.
Only upon reaching the Fourth Realm, becoming a Celestial Human, can one break life's shackles, transcend the flesh's limitations, and gradually transform from a human towards the path of becoming an immortal.
Celestial Human, anciently known as True Man, marks the beginning of an immortal.
Mortal, True Man, Immortal.
Every step is a life transformation, not merely the strengthening of martial arts and increase in power; the most crucial aspect is transcending the mundane.
Lu Chengfeng absorbed the gift and had long understood the intricacy of the Primordial Spirit, but he could only comprehend the greatness and sanctity of this step by personally beginning to condense the Primordial Spirit.
Just like a silkworm transforming into a butterfly, it's the miracle of life.
Every Celestial Human stepping out from the mundane is worthy of being remembered by history.
Lu Chengfeng's spiritual will was pure and resilient, becoming the core of breakthrough and transformation, merging heart and spirit with the golden flame, burning the Essence, Qi, and Spirit, igniting all martial insights comprehended since starting martial arts.
His body had already become an empty shell, all Essence, Qi, and Spirit, all martial insights, completely merged into the golden flame.
Lu Chengfeng originally thought that upon breaking through this step, even though manifesting the gift of Qi Yuan, it would require several days.
After all, condensing the Primordial Spirit is not achieved overnight; it requires the profoundness of a talisman to fuse the Essence, Qi, and Spirit together, thoroughly transcending the flesh's constraints, transforming into a Primordial Spirit that can exist independently of the flesh.
Pure fusion of Essence, Qi, and Spirit cannot break life's limits; the key lies in the Heaven and Earth Law; baptizing oneself with the mysteries of heaven and earth can one achieve realization.
Thus, every divine skill has its unique method of condensing the Primordial Spirit, with various distinctions in the condensed Primordial Spirit.
Like the Cyan Splendor Primordial Spirit of Cyan Cloud Peak, skilled in communicating Yimu Essence Qi, especially beneficial during comprehension of the Law of wood, wind, and thunder.
The Yellow Dragon Primordial Spirit of Yellow Dragon Peak can absorb and release the earth's energy, unmovable like a mountain, and moving like heaven and earth collapsing.
And the Five Elements Primordial Spirit condensed by the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword can command the five elements, observing heaven and earth through the five elements, of infinite profundities, boundless creations, vastly surpassing ordinary Primordial Spirits in its profundity.
"According to the old monk, Primordial Spirits have grades based on their foundation, Laws, and potential."
"Lower Grade Primordial Spirit, shallow in Law, halts at the third layer of Celestial Human."
"Middle Grade Primordial Spirit, initially understanding Law, halts at the sixth layer of Celestial Human."
"Upper Grade Primordial Spirit, with subtle Law, halts at the ninth layer of Celestial Human."
"Only Primordial Spirits condensed with the foundation of Divine Techniques Dharma Method have the prospect of reaching the Immortal Realm, known as the Path of Divine Power embryo, or Immortal embryo."
Lu Chengfeng did not expect that condensing the Primordial Spirit with the Golden Flame Skill would be countless times smoother than anticipated, not even requiring his careful condensing at all.
The golden flame burned everything, ultimately unifying all power, then transformed into a golden light, spiraling up with the Bixiao Sword into the sky.
Yet the prototype of his Primordial Spirit, namely that golden flame, did not hide in the Lifebound Sword Artifact, bathing in the light of heaven and earth, but rather boldly surged into the clouds above, bathing in celestial winds, thunder, and gang qi.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit exited the aperture; even with a talisman as foundation, they remained extremely fragile, dispersing with a breeze, shattering with a thunder's roar, thus needing the Divine Sword as a furnace for the Primordial Spirit prototype to rest.
Each time, enduring heaven and earth's baptism, eventually completely transforming; Law and Essence, Qi, and Spirit wholly unifying, transforming into a Lifebound Primordial Spirit.
And creators of divine skills, with intricate Law, strong spiritual will, even without a Divine Weapon as a furnace, can still gather their lifebound Primordial Spirit in one fell swoop.
Lu Chengfeng originally thought that his Golden Flame Skill didn't count as a divine skill; although his spiritual will, after countless gifts' baptism, had become exceedingly strong, whether he could condense the Primordial Spirit in one go, he wasn't too sure.
However, the might of the Golden Flame Skill far exceeded his imagination, resembling a great sun, seemingly like a furnace, absorbing and expelling essence qi from all directions, bathing in wind, rain, thunder, and disintegrating whatever passed by, with fire sweeping through, consuming and refining everything.
Later, the golden flame surged, engulfing the entire Bixiao Sword, together partaking in the baptism above the Nine Heavens.
At this moment, Lu Chengfeng sensed a scarlet Sword Light rising beside him, sharp, scorching, tearing through clouds and celestial wind.
"Master!"
He was slightly delighted, unexpectedly both of them broke through to Celestial Human simultaneously.
However, Zhu Yuxian didn't possess his profound foundation, rather using Sword Light to guard the Primordial Spirit prototype, receiving heaven and earth's baptism.
Above these Nine Heavens, the master and disciple could sense each other, yet under such circumstances, they couldn't communicate, let alone aid each other; condensing the Primordial Spirit solely relied on oneself.
Beyond Lifebound Divine Weapons, any external objects were harmful without benefit.
Above the Nine Heavens, the gang wind was mighty, generating electric sparks amidst friction, sometimes with heavy layers of clouds drifting by, ominous and dark, permeated with rain and thunder.
What Lu Chengfeng needed to do was to have his Essence, Qi, and Spirit and martial arts insights thoroughly unify under heaven and earth's baptism.
The golden flame burned fiercely, a green Sword Artifact floated within the flame, emitting a clear sword chant, the Sword Light becoming purer, clear as water, green as waves, radiance flowing, wind, rain, and thunder dissipating once they grazed the Sword Blade.
