I Only Marry Widows

"To cultivate one’s personal path to the utmost, one must open the heavens and create a new world from the chaos, using the Three Realms as the foundation. On one hand, this expands the Three Realms, and on the other, it integrates one’s personal path into the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms."

"Throughout history, as long as one can open the heavens and create a world, achieving the rank of a Celestial Venerate, even if they die, their path will not disappear, and their legacy will endure."

"Even if no one in the world practices their legacy, as long as someone perceives the Heaven and Earth Truth, there will eventually be a day when they comprehend the path they once followed."

"Though the body may perish, the path remains eternal. The paths they comprehended have long become a part of the universe. The path is inherently nameless, but they left an eternal imprint in the cosmos, imprinting their names upon it."

"This is the essence of a Celestial Venerate!"

Lu Chengfeng felt an exhilarating sense of transcendence beyond the Three Realms, overlooking all beings and sensing the enlightenment of ages past. The golden light emanating from his body grew increasingly dazzling, like a Great Sun rising.

"True Immortals perceive the universe; Great Powers perceive the Self Path."

"Celestial Venerates align their Self Path with the Heavenly Dao, open the heavens and create a world, this is the testament of the path."

"Observing the Heavens, Enlightening the Path, Testify to the Path—this is what cultivation means, this is what it means to be immortal."

"The Great Tao is like a mountain; one begins by climbing and comprehending the Laws and Truths of the universe, this is a True Immortal."

"Upon reaching Perfection in True Immortals, one stands atop the mountain, though unable to glimpse all the scenes between peaks, still able to overlook the universe."

"At this point, one must understand the Self Path—continuing to perceive the Laws and Truths while innovating and expanding oneself, so one gradually equates to the mountain, this is the cultivation of a Dharma Form Great Power."

"At the Celestial Venerate Realm, one opens the heavens and creates a world, equaling heaven, this is immortality!"

Lu Chengfeng meticulously reviewed the entire cultivation journey of the Immortal Path, comprehensively enlightened to all paths of cultivation. In his eyes, the essence of cultivation was free of any obscuration.

Even a Dharma Form Great Power could not comprehend the cultivation of the Immortal Path more profoundly than he did.

This understanding of the essence of cultivation far surpasses advancements in power or improvements in cultivation.

"Observing the Heavens, Enlightening the Path, Testify to the Path!"

"Observing the Heavens is a process; as long as one has not testified to the path, one must continually perceive the universe, enriching and deepening one’s foundation."

"Even Enlightenment requires both resources and references, and the Great Tao of the universe is undoubtedly the best reference."

"And I...have absorbed countless gifts from predecessors and sages, my understanding of the universe is profound, not just True Immortals, even among Dharma Form Great Powers, it’s nearly impossible to find someone with deeper foundations than mine."

"So if I want to comprehend the Self Path, it will naturally be easier than others; standing on the shoulders of giants allows one to see further."

Lu Chengfeng sorted through his cultivation path, having now cultivated the Fighting Technique General to Middle Grade, and with his foundation, upgrading it to Upper Grade or even Top Grade wasn’t difficult.

The most crucial step is transforming the Fighting Dharma Form into a Lifebound Dharma Form.

The reason this step is so challenging, causing countless prodigies across the ages to be stuck and eventually perish, is fundamentally due to the need to attain Enlightenment.

The Fighting Dharma Form is simply the comprehension and application of the Great Tao of the universe.

A Lifebound Dharma Form, however, transforms the Heavenly Dao into the Self Path, forging one’s unique path.

The Fighting Dharma Form is the foundation, resource, and a symbol and result of comprehending the Great Tao of the universe.

To break through, the first step is to comprehend one’s own path.

The second step is to reinterpret and refine the Fighting Dharma Form using one’s personal path, unifying the Laws and Truths into one’s essence.

The third step is to refine the Divine Soul and Fighting Dharma Form with the Self Path as the crucible, blending them into a single entity to become the Lifebound Dharma Form.

"Breaking through the Dharma Form is not a task for a single day. Starting today, I must also begin to comprehend my personal path."

Through Guanzizai’s memories, Lu Chengfeng uncovered many secrets of the universe, many unknown even to Dharma Form Great Powers.

Every path created by a Celestial Venerate, while gained through understanding the universal operations, bears a personal mark, ultimately bestowing the unnamed Laws and Truths of the universe with names.

Time, birth and death, destiny, creation, cause and effect—these Heaven and Earth Laws initially had no names. Thanks to the predecessors and sages who comprehended the Heaven and Earth Truth and used them to testify to the path, opening the heavens and creating worlds, these names arose, eternal and undying.

Observing the universe reveals cause and effect; observing the universe reveals birth and death; observing the universe reveals destiny...all these are the paths of forebears.

Lu Chengfeng recalled certain memories of Guanzizai’s, "It’s said that Emperor Wa initiated the Life Path, Creation Path, Demon Path, Human Path, and Emperor Path, each path opening the heavens and creating a world. This being mastered at least five paths, possibly more."

"It means that due to Emperor Wa, the world gained the names Life, Creation, Demon, Human, and Emperor."

"The universe, though capable of naturally creating life, does not necessarily create humans or demons, but Emperor Wa, observing the universe, innovated and journeyed from the universe, yet diverged from its paths."

"Thus, Emperor Wa is also called the Saint Mother of humanity, Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, Lord of Creation, Mother of Life, Emperor Wa."

"Creating a single path and opening the heavens is called a Celestial Venerate, and imagining an entity opening at least five such paths like Emperor Wa is awe-inspiring..."

Thinking of Emperor Wa, Lu Chengfeng felt inevitable admiration.

"As for the Tao Ancestor, Guanzizai indeed received part of the Tao Ancestor’s legacy. According to the legacy records, the Tao Ancestor comprehended at least the paths of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Void, and Time."

"Because of the Tao Ancestor, the world now has Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Void, and Time..."

"Later generations, observing the universe, can perceive Yin and Yang, observe the universe, and see the Five Elements, view the universe as if seeing the Tao Ancestor."

"Though the person is gone, the Path remains eternal!"

"Marvelous, truly marvelous!"

The more he contemplated, the more Lu Chengfeng grasped the vastness and expansiveness of the cultivation journey and the greatness and awe-inspiring stature of predecessor sages.

His painstaking contemplations and the Time Law, which forms the foundation of his haughty pride over the Three Realms, are merely elements of the path the Tao Ancestor comprehended.

Generations plant the trees, later ones enjoy the shade; he merely treads the path opened by the Tao Ancestor.

Upon realizing this, Lu Chengfeng felt no more pride or arrogance.

Whether utilizing the Power of Time to slay enemies or stripping them of past power and foundation, it is but the application of the Time Path.

Yet the Tao Ancestor was the creator of the Time Path’s original principles.

"Enlightenment, my path, what sort of path should I forge?"

Lu Chengfeng digested all his inheritance and foundation while browsing ancient secrets from Guanzizai’s memories.

"Enlightenment is not understanding just Yin and Yang, birth, and death, the Five Elements, or Time—all these were paths once traversed by past sages, part of today’s Great Tao of the universe."

"What I must do is innovate, journey on a path uniquely my own."

"Like Guanzizai, who understood the principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, cause and effect, Time, Void, and fate, ultimately forged a path never appearing in the universe before, named Guanyin."

"The Path of Guanyin, this was his unique path."

"Even though he was schemed against by the Zizai Celestial Demon and became a puppet, at the moment of opening the heavens, his Guanyin Path became part of the universe’s Great Tao, enduring eternally."

"Even if all historical records of him were to vanish, as long as future generations contemplate the universe, they will one day comprehend the Path of Guanyin."

"Where, then, is the path I am to journey?"
