Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei’s Zhongyuan Sword Skill had long been cultivated to the level of perfection. The circulation of the cultivation technique in his body had long become an instinct. Chen Fei did not need to expend much core soul energy to activate it.

This was a state that only those at the later stage of the Aperture Tempering realm or even the peak of the Aperture Tempering realm could achieve after cultivating their techniques to perfection. Cultivators at this stage cultivated faster than those at the early and middle stages of the Aperture Tempering realm.

What really limited the strength of Aperture Tempering realm advanced stage and peak stage experts was the degree of refinement of their main cultivation technique.

For example, the Zhongyuan Sword Technique only opened eighty acupoints. Once all eighty acupoints were opened, there would be no way forward. He could either switch to a better cultivation technique or try to reach the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Chen Fei had the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique with him. When the vital energy entered Chen Fei’s body, it did not have time to dissipate before it was firmly locked in his body by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique. Then, it was digested and absorbed by the Zhongyuan Sword technique.

As a result, Chen Fei’s cultivation speed did not decrease after reaching the middle stage of the aperture tempering realm. Instead, it increased.

It was so illogical, yet so natural.

Time passed. On the sixth day, there was some movement from the Twin Flying Spirit of Feng Xiupu. Guo Linshan came to inform Chen Fei. Then, the three of them came to a huge Wind-moving Stone 30 miles away from Immortal Cloud City.

Every year during the windy season, the Wind Moving Stone would constantly shake and make a dull sound. At that time, there would be many people from the Immortal Cloud City who would come to visit.

It wasn’t the windy season, so there was no one around.

Feng Xiupu looked at the Twin Flying Spirit in his hand. It was currently trembling slightly, and the frequency of its trembling was still increasing. Clearly, the other Twin Flying Spirit was already not far away.

Chen Fei stood behind Feng Xiu Pu and looked around. This location was quite famous in the Immortal Cloud City, but Chen Fei had never had the time to come over. At this moment, the grass was long and the orioles were flying.

Suddenly, Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly. He turned his head and looked ahead. At that position, Chen Fei sensed a few auras that were rushing over at an extremely fast speed.

Compared to Chen Fei, Feng Xiupu was a beat slower before he sensed the situation and couldn’t help but look forward.

When Guo Linshan saw this scene, his eyes could not help but widen slightly. His junior brother had actually sensed the arrival of others faster than his master. It was obvious that his junior brother’s mental sensitivity was even higher than his master’s.

Guo Linshan had been immersed in cultivation for the past few years, but he had also heard a lot about Chen Fei. Guo Linshan had thought that Chen Fei would surpass Feng Xiupu in the future.

But Guo Linshan had never thought that this day would come so quickly.

Mental sharpness could not represent battle prowess, but it was an important component of battle prowess.

According to this rate of growth, the day Little Junior Brother surpassed Master seemed to be not far away.

Guo Linshan suddenly thought of himself. He was still hovering around the Visceral Tempering realm and had not even reached the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm. When he first met his junior brother, he was already at the peak of the Marrow Tempering realm.

Before Guo Linshan could think further, the figures in the distance had gradually become clearer. Guo Linshan could feel his master’s mood gradually becoming higher.

Obviously, one of the three people in the distance was his master’s good friend from back then.

Chen Fei looked at the three people approaching from afar, and his eyes moved slightly. Someone was injured, and the injury was not light. Feng Xiupu, who was two steps in front, only realized the situation after a moment. His figure flashed and he directly went up to meet the attack.

“Junior brother, let’s go up as well.”

Guo Linshan turned to look at Chen Fei. Chen Fei nodded and followed behind Feng Xiupu with Guo Linshan.

“What’s wrong with you?!

Feng Xiupu stopped in his tracks and looked at his good friend, Geng Yanlin. Not only did he look exhausted from the journey, but his body was also covered in many bloody wounds, and his spirit was quite dispirited.

“1 encountered some problems and finally came here.”

Geng Yanlin looked at Feng Xiupu, relieved. He couldn’t help but smile and said, “This is my wife and my son.”

As Geng Yanlin spoke, he led the two people beside him forward and introduced them. When he introduced his son, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

“Greetings, Brother Feng.” Geng Yanlin’s wife bowed slightly to Feng Xiupu.

“Greetings, Uncle Feng. My father has often mentioned you to me.” Geng Yunfei looked at Feng Xiupu and cupped his hands.

“Alright.”

Feng Xiupu nodded at the two of them, then turned to Geng Yanlin and said,

“Your injuries are not light. Return to the sect first. We’ll talk later.”

Chen Fei sized up the three of them from behind. Geng Yanlin’s beard was like a halberd, forming a strong contrast with Feng Xiupu’s elegance. As for his cultivation, it was similar to Feng Xiupu’s. They were both at the early-stage of the Aperture Tempering realm.

Geng Yanlin’s wife’s cultivation had yet to reach the Aperture Tempering realm and was only at the Visceral Tempering realm. Thus, one could already see some traces of her age.

As for Geng Yanlin’s son, Geng Yunfei, he was about the same age as Chen Fei. His cultivation was the same as Guo Linshan’s, the Visceral Tempering Realm. However, he was only at the initial stage of the Visceral Tempering Realm.

“Who is this friend?”

Geng Yanlin turned to look at Chen Fei. Chen Fei’s aura of the Aperture Tempering State was obvious, and he looked quite young.

Although it was difficult to tell a person’s true age from their appearance after reaching the Aperture Tempering realm, one could still sense some of it. For example, Chen Fei’s temperament was completely different from Feng Xiupu’s generation.

Obviously, Chen Fei was much younger than them.

“I almost forgot to introduce you.”

Feng Xiupu patted his forehead. He was flustered by his concern. Feng Xiupu led Guo Linshan forward and said, “This is my eldest disciple, Guo Linshan.”

“Hello, Martial Uncle Geng!” Guo Linshan stepped forward and cupped his hands.

“His aura is condensed and solid, and his foundation is well laid.”

Geng Yanlin smiled and nodded, but his attention was mostly focused on Chen Fei. Geng Yanlin did not understand why Feng Xiupu did not introduce Chen Fei first.

After all, he was an expert of the same level, so he had to give him respect. He had to introduce him first, unless…

Geng Yanlin’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at Feng Xiupu in disbelief. Feng Xiupu’s face could not help but burst into a smile. Feng Xiupu knew that his good friend had already guessed the reason.

“The little disciple 1 took in these few years, Chen Fei!” Feng Xiupu said proudly. Anyone who could teach an aperture tempering state disciple would have such an expression.

Geng Yanlin’s eyes widened. This same-level cultivator before him was really Feng Xiupu’s disciple. Even though Geng Yanlin had already guessed it, he still found it hard to believe when Feng Xiupu said it.

Geng Yanlin’s wife looked at Chen Fei in surprise. Geng Yanlin’s son, Geng Yunfei, had the same expression as his father, Geng Yanlin, full of surprise.

The little disciple he had taken in these few years meant that Chen Fei was really young.

When Geng Yunfei looked at Chen Fei’s youthful face, he thought that this Aperture Tempering realm cultivator looked really young. Now, he realized that it wasn’t just the appearance of youth but that Chen Fei’s actual age was indeed quite young.

Feng Xiupu looked at his good friend’s expression and felt pleased. Other than sincerity, he had also brought Chen Fei along to pick him up to show off.

“Let’s go back to the sect.” Feng Xiupu looked up at the sky.

“Alright, let’s go to the door first.”

Geng Yanlin retracted his surprised expression and coughed involuntarily. His face turned slightly pale. Clearly, Geng Yanlin’s injuries were much more serious than what appeared on the surface.

Feng Xiupu frowned slightly. Although he wanted to know the reason, it was more important for him to go back and recuperate. He could ask about this later.

The few of them flashed and headed towards the main gate of the Primordial Sword Sect.

However, after just fifteen minutes, Chen Fei’s brows suddenly furrowed slightly. In Chen Fei’s perception, there was a burning aura that was rapidly chasing after him from behind.

Its aura was blazing like fire, filled with violence and aggression. Even the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy was slightly rippled by its aura.

Feng Xiupu and Geng Yanlin only realized what was happening after a while.

Feng Xiupu frowned, while Geng Yanlin’s expression changed drastically.

“How could it be so fast? We should have been able to stall for two hours!” Geng Yanlin said in disbelief.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Geng Yanlin’s wife’s face turned pale.

“Father, did that evil person catch up?” Geng Yunfei’s eyes were filled with fear.

“The person who injured you?” Feng Xiupu turned to look at Geng Yanlin.

it

1’11 stop him. Please take my wife and son to the sect first.” As Geng Yanlin spoke, he stopped in his tracks and was about to turn around.

“Lin Shan, bring them to the sect and inform Elder Wu.” Feng Xiupu said anxiously and was about to catch up to Geng Yanlin.

“Father, I’ll stay with you!” Geng Yunfei said loudly.

“What are you staying for? You’ll only distract me here.”

Geng Yanlin shouted and looked at Feng Xiupu anxiously. “Xiu Pu, take them away. That person is at the middle stage of the aperture tempering state, we can’t stop him. If you take them away, there’s still a little hope!”

Feng Xiupu was startled. Even independent cultivators would be very strong when they reached the middle stage of the aperture tempering realm. This was because it proved that the cultivation technique that the other party cultivated was not incomplete. At the very least, it was not as incomplete as one might have thought.

Just based on this point alone, an independent cultivator who could reach the middle stage of the aperture tempering realm was not much weaker than a sect’s middle stage aperture tempering realm. Compared to them, who were at the Aperture Tempering realm primary stage, he had a huge advantage.

“Leave? No one is leaving today!”

A mocking laugh rang out. The aura was clearly still extremely far away, but a figure had already appeared in front of everyone. Chou Yuanceng looked at Geng Yanlin and the others with a mocking gaze, a cruel smile on his lips.

Smoke and mirrors; he’s been deceiving others and diverting attention.

Relying on this move, Chou Yuanceng had fooled countless people. Up until now, he was still successful. Every time he saw the shocked expressions of the others, Chou Yuanceng’s heart would be filled with excitement.

“Master, you guys go first. I’ll hold him off for a moment and meet up with you guys later.” Chen Fei looked at Chou Yuanceng and calmly said.

“Stop me? Hahaha! You?” Chou Yuanceng looked at Chen Fei’s young face and laughed loudly, his voice full of mockery..
