Chapter 282: Retreat Year, Breakthrough

Chapter 282: Retreat Year, Breakthrough

The Qingming Palace is closed and no longer concerned with worldly affairs.

The entire Three Realms have become a mess, the Divine Court has collapsed, and a war has broken out in the Heavenly Realm.

The Taoist master of Zhongzhou raised an army and conquered the four directions.

The three continents of Zifu, Xumi and Dasheng broke away from Shenzhou and established their own independent regions.

The rest of the immortals, Buddhas, demons, and other powerful beings took advantage of this chaos to seek benefits for themselves.

There was chaos in heaven and on earth.

……

Lu Chengfeng ignored these things in the outside world. Instead, he hid under the sea with Luo Suyi and practiced in peace.

His foundation is incredibly profound, and he has enough resources for cultivation. In addition, the Qingming Palace is a precious place that can help him avoid the disputes of the outside world, so he naturally will not take the initiative to get involved.

He doesn't need to go out and stir up trouble now. He just needs to practice peacefully and wait until he has mastered the great magical powers. With his previous foundation, once he breaks through, he will be a top powerful person in the Three Realms who is no weaker than a god.

If you can practice peacefully and grow up, why bother fighting with others?

After he breaks through and refines the innate Qingming Sword, he will be able to fight against even the God, the Taoist Lord, or the Heavenly Lord.

Time passed slowly, Lu Chengfeng immersed himself in cultivation and began an extremely long period of seclusion.

In the third year of his retreat, he vaguely felt the aura of the Buddha's treasure, the Three Golden Lotus, but it disappeared in a flash.

The Three Lifetimes Golden Lotus is the foundation of his current physical body and is also a very important part of his combat power system. It must not fall into the hands of others.

After the death of Zizai Tianmo, this treasure should have fallen into the hands of the empress, but with the disappearance of the empress, the whereabouts of this treasure was also lost.

The appearance of the Three Lifetimes Golden Lotus distracted Lu Chengfeng from his retreat, but he did not come out and continued to practice meditation instead.

After ten years of seclusion, Akainu returns, bringing back a large number of precious medicines and resources, as well as news from the outside world.

"It is said that Thunder God was seriously injured in the battle in the heavens and disappeared. Some people also say that he has fallen."

"The Sky Patroller and Earth Mother Dragon joined forces to repel the Ancient River God, occupying the Divine Sky Palace and a portion of the Heavenly Realm fragments, and then completely sealed off the Heavenly Realm and disappeared without a trace."

Akainu only rested for three months after his return. After Lu Chengfeng used the power of time to help him refine his Dharma image, he left Qingming Palace again. The way of swallowing the sun that he practiced required a lot of resources, and if he wanted to take the last step, it was not something that could be achieved behind closed doors.

Lu Chengfeng still did not stop him from leaving. Although he was practicing in seclusion, he needed someone to pay attention to the development of the situation in the outside world so that he would not become deaf and blind.

A hundred years later, Akainu returned again and brought back a lot of news.

"The Ancient River God suppressed the White Tiger God, united the eight tribes of the God Court, and attacked Qingmingtian."

"The Plague God fled into the netherworld..."

"The Ancient River God occupies the three heavens of Qingming, Biluo, and Xingxiu. He uses his supreme magical powers to move the universe and open up the divine world. He is known as the God King."

"The Taoist master of Zhongzhou has sent out his troops and has swept across the four continents of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest. The four gods have surrendered and respected him as the Central Yellow Heaven Emperor. They have established the Yellow Heaven Divine Dynasty and suppressed the human world."

There is no doubt that as time goes by, the situation in the three realms has begun to become clear.

The Sky Patrol God and the Earth Mother Dragon God occupied a corner of the Shenxiao Palace, while the three Heavenly Lords, Zifu, Xumi and Zaohua, lived aloof from the world.

The Ancient River God King led the divine world to compete with the Central Yellow Sky Emperor.

In addition, there are some old antiques with the combat power of gods who dominate one side, such as the God of Plague, the God of the Underworld, etc.

The situation in the entire Three Realms is undergoing earth-shaking changes compared to a hundred years ago. Warlords are fighting for their own interests and the wars are endless. The peaceful days before are gone forever.

……

Lu Chengfeng has been in seclusion for one hundred and thirty years, and Akainu would come back every ten years or so. However, when he came back this time, his cultivation had reached its peak and he was ready to break through.

"I'm not planning on leaving this time I come back." Akainu has been killing for a hundred years in the chaotic situation of the outside world. His murderous aura is so terrifying that it almost condenses into blood light. It is unknown how many lives he has killed.

"I am practicing the way of swallowing the sun, and I need the baptism of the power of time and shadow to make up for the shortcomings of my own path."

"I need your help to break through this time."

He did not behave politely with Lu Chengfeng. Because of his relationship with Qingming Tianzun, he had already regarded the other party as his own. During these years of fighting outside, most of the resources and information he gained were sent back to Qingming Palace without any conditions.

After more than a hundred years of getting along, the friendship and trust between them are no longer the same as before.

"It should."

Lu Chengfeng naturally agreed immediately.

After everything was ready, Akainu began to retreat and break through.

The fighting method he practiced was his true self.

The Great Way is integrated with the body and soul, which is somewhat similar to the path taken by the Empress.

This way of swallowing the sun was originally an extremely mysterious path that Qingming deduced from his own great way and the way of the empress.

It can devour endless flames and time, constantly tempering the body, until finally the body and the Dharma become one. The more flames and time power it devours, the more powerful the body and the Dharma will become.

One day, if you can swallow the sun in the sky in one gulp, you can even directly cross over to the realm of Heavenly Venerate.

Akainu revealed his true form, and then he practiced his martial arts, swallowing everything and emitting a faint light. When he opened his mouth, his ferocious fangs were exposed, and there seemed to be an abyss in his mouth, swallowing everything.

All the light around it disappeared and was swallowed up by the abyss in its mouth. The sun, moon and stars falling from the sky were also swallowed up at an extremely terrifying speed.

Under his extremely terrifying devouring power, even the space was distorted, revealing an extremely terrifying scene.

Lu Chengfeng saw the right opportunity, golden light burst out from between his eyebrows, and he mobilized the power of time, which fell into Akainu's mouth like a waterfall.

Wow! Wow!
The endless power of time surged like a mighty river, endlessly pouring into Akainu's mouth, baptizing his body and soul.

With the continuous influx of the power of time, the demonic energy that remained in Akainu's body after he swallowed the Six Desire Demons was gradually purified, and wisps of black smoke drifted into the air.

This process lasted for three years. Lu Chengfeng's face turned slightly pale and the consumption was extremely huge.

And Akainu's breakthrough finally reached the critical moment. His eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, revealing a pair of pupils burning with red flames, and then he roared at the sun above the sky.

Rumble!
In just a moment, endless golden light of the sun descended from the sky and instantly submerged his body. Akainu frantically pushed his own way of swallowing the sun to swallow the golden light of the sun. In the end, the endless golden light of the sun turned into a halo that enveloped his body.

For nine whole days and nine nights, Akainu condensed nine suns outside his body with the golden light of the sun, and then swallowed all the nine suns into his mouth one by one.

Such a scene was extremely terrifying. After devouring the nine suns, all the strange phenomena disappeared, Akainu fell into a deep sleep and began his transformation.

Luo Suyi had been silently watching Akainu's breakthrough. All the strange phenomena that had just happened were blocked by her using the Qingming Palace, so they did not spread too far, otherwise they would have certainly alarmed the three realms.

Seeing that Akainu seemed to have fallen asleep, she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Husband, what happened to him? Did he succeed or fail in the breakthrough?"

Lu Chengfeng's pupils were filled with dazzling golden light. After observing carefully for a long time, he said, "He is now at the most critical moment, preparing to completely integrate his soul, fighting form, and body."

"He can only rely on himself for this step. As long as he can completely merge successfully, he will be able to wake up."

"If he fails, he will completely turn into a ferocious beast that has lost its mind."

"This is also one of the reasons why he chose to return to Qingming Palace for retreat."

He sighed slightly and said to Luo Suyi, "He told me before that if he fails to break through this time, he will ask you to use Qingming Palace to kill him."

"He didn't want his body to become a mindless beast after his death."

"In fact, he has prepared his last words..."

Lu Chengfeng shook his head, took out a canine tooth that looked a little yellow, and said, "This is something he left for you. There should be some treasures and resources in it, and there are also some words left."

"He told me that if I failed to break through, I should give this canine fang to you."

Luo Suyi was slightly stunned when he looked at the canine tooth, and his expression became complicated. "I... I am not actually his master. That person, that person should have already..."

She didn't say anything else. She always felt that Akainu was so nice to her because he mistook her for Qing Ming Tianzun, which made her feel a little guilty.

Lu Chengfeng sighed and said, "It's up to you whether you want to accept it or not."

Luo Suyi was silent for a moment and then asked, "What are the chances of him succeeding in breaking through this time?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Anyone who wants to break through the Dharma Realm can only rely on himself. Even if he is a genius, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to break through."

“But I used the power of time to cleanse his body and soul, which completely made up for his shortcomings in the Great Dao. This should give him 30% more confidence.”

"His chance of successfully breaking through this time should be 60%..."

Luo Suyi reached out and took the canine tooth and said, "I'll keep it for now. When he wakes up, I'll return it to him in person and explain my identity to him clearly."

She turned her head and looked at Lu Chengfeng with a little hesitation, "Husband, if I explain it to him clearly, will it have any impact on you?"

Lu Chengfeng had been using Luo Suyi's identity before and kept Akainu to use as a thug.

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Just speak your mind. No matter what choice he makes, I will support him."

"You and I have cultivated to this point today. If we still need to rely on cheating to keep others, it would be too ridiculous."

Luo Suyi smiled when she heard this, "I knew you would agree, husband. I'll tell him when he wakes up."

"Hmm!" After taking a look at Akainu, Lu Chengfeng stopped paying attention to him. He turned around and left with Luo Suyi to continue his practice.

Another twenty years passed, and Luo Suyi finally completely refined the Qingming Palace, and received the gifts left by Qingming Tianzun. His cultivation improved greatly, and he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Her practice went smoothly all the way, and even the great principles she had comprehended were achieved naturally without any bottlenecks.

This method is called "Qianxing". It can draw the power of the sun, moon and stars to evolve time, life and death, destiny and creation.

This method is extremely compatible with the innate spiritual treasure, the mutton-fat jade bottle. After Lu Chengfeng gave this treasure to Luo Suyi, just three months later, she successfully broke through the Dharmakaya and cultivated the great magical power of the future star calamity.

On the day when he achieved great supernatural powers, in the starry sky of the divine realm, billions of stars simultaneously bloomed with brilliant light. The light of the stars gathered into a mighty river in the sky, falling directly onto the sea where the Demon Continent was.

This earth-shaking scene instantly alarmed the entire three realms.

The God King Gu He opened his eyes immediately and fixed his gaze on the sea. His eyes were like two big suns, carefully searching every corner of the sea.

Xingxiutian is one of the foundations of the divine world and is his current lair. Someone can directly mobilize the power of the entire Xingxiutian, which is equivalent to having the key to his own home. How can he feel at ease?

However, he searched for nineteen days without finding anything.

Soon, the God King gave the order to send out the army of gods to occupy the entire sea area and conduct a thorough investigation of the matter.

In Qingming Palace, Lu Chengfeng and Luo Suyi were already scared to the point of breaking out in cold sweats.

"This……"

If Luo Suyi had not been quick to see the opportunity and used the Qingming Palace to block all auras and isolate all deductions and magical powers from spying, I'm afraid that the Ancient River God King would have already come to kill him.

Today, they have no qualifications to fight against the God-King. Once they are blocked at their doorstep, even if they cannot do anything to him for the time being, if he is really determined, they will be attacked forcefully without hesitation.

After all, Qingming Palace is just a dead object, and it will be completely breached after a period of time.

Luo Suyi looked a little panicked, "Husband, what should we do? Will the God King come directly to our house next?"

Lu Chengfeng took a deep breath. Such a change was beyond his expectations. No one had expected that Luo Suyi's breakthrough could directly affect the entire Xingxiutian.

"You just blocked the aura of Qingming Palace in time, and did not absorb the starlight falling from Xingxiutian. This should be able to buy us some time."

"However, once the God King gets serious, Qingming Palace won't be able to hide for long."

He turned around and looked at Luo Suyi with burning eyes, "But none of this matters. What matters is that you have now broken through to the Dharmakāya."

"Your strength should undergo a drastic change."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Take a closer look at your own great divine power and see how powerful it is."

"If you are strong enough, with the help of the innate spiritual treasure, the sheep-fat jade bottle and the Qingming Palace, you will be able to compete with the God King."

After hearing his words, Luo Suyi finally regained his composure. His mind moved and his original Dharma image suddenly manifested.

Instantly, a vast and clear light filled the entire palace, billions of stars rolled, and an extremely ancient and majestic atmosphere filled every corner of the palace. (End of this chapter)
