Tempering

The essence, spirit, and energy on the Three Flowers interacted with the essence, spirit, and energy within Chen Fei’s body, heightening his perception abruptly. He transcended the confines of the flesh, fully manifesting within the realm of heaven and earth.

“Is this the spirit? Or perhaps the perception of the mind empowered by the force of the spirit!”

Chen Fei curiously observed his state, noting a significant difference compared to his previous perception of the world.

His awareness becfiner, devoid of the ethereal vagueness, instead acquiring a hint of substance, as if his consciousness transitioned from the abstract to the concrete.

The Soul Breaking Technique, the incomplete spirit technique that Chen Fei acquired, contained a simple record of this phenomenon.

Powerful experts in the Mountain Sea Realm could empower a warrior’s essence, spirit, and energy with the force of the spirit, fundamentally enhancing their strength.

Having now reached the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei’s Three Flowers’ power triggered his spirit, granting him an early experience of its wonders.

However, this clear perception of the spirit was only achievable right after his breakthrough. With the passage of time, Chen Fei could already sense the spirit’s power diminishing.

The spirit, without undergoing any refinement or transformation, lacked sufficient strength at this moment, resulting in no substantial improvement in power even at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

However, this served as a direction—a hurdle that must be overcin the future breakthrough to the Mountain Sea Realm.

As his consciousness reentered his body, the majestic sound produced by the circulation of qi and blood resonated, shaking the surroundings. With his attainment of the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei’s physique further strengthened.

Previously, in the late stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei had already sensed the barrier of his physique, and with his cultivation advancing, he drew closer to this barrier.

And now, with his realm advancing to the Ninth Transformation, Chen Fei’s physique stood squarely before the barrier.

In other words, Chen Fei’s physique had now reached the strongest level achievable in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

While others at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivated their essence, spirit, and energy in harmony, their physique could not possibly reach the exaggerated extent of Chen Fei’s.

They were more balanced, whereas Chen Fei’s physique was somewhat specialized.

In terms of elemental power, Chen Fei had no discernible difference from other pinnacle Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators. In fact, due to the Profound Heavenly Sword at the Great Completion stage, Chen Fei even held a slight advantage.

However, this slight advantage did not significantly impact overall combat prowess.

In actual combat, there might be advantages, but transforming those advantages into decisive victories would require at least hundreds of exchanges.

As for his consciousness, due to constantly hunting in the Strange Heart Realm, Chen Fei’s mental strength was formidable, but in terms of advantages, it could only be considered decent.

Because Chen Fei had relatively little tfor cultivation, unlike other pinnacle Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators who often spent centuries in practice, although they progressed slower in mental cultivation, thad already compensated for them.

Only his physique, due to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant and the ability to continuously absorb spiritual energy through the Dragon Elephant Induction Point, kept growing.

By the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm stage, he already possessed a physique akin to peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, and now it had reached a borderline position between Combined Aperture Tempering and Mountain Sea Realms.

More importantly, the abnormal recovery power bestowed by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant had been continually strengthening alongside his physique’s growth.

Chen Fei could freely unleash prohibitions, and besides his stronger physique compared to peers, the primary factor was this recovery power.

Without this recovery power, as Chen Fei’s elemental power strengthened, his physique would not be able to withstand the damage inflicted by prohibitions.

The swirling of the surrounding primordial energy continued unabated, and Chen Fei’s aura grew stronger with each passing moment.

Chen Fei opened his eyes and looked at the broken ruler in his hand.

The broken ruler emitted a radiant glow, faintly resonating with the aura within Chen Fei’s body.

At this moment, Chen Fei realized that he had never truly controlled the broken ruler before.

Although the ruler was now heavily damaged, it was originally a spiritual treasure.

To truly wield a spiritual treasure, one must refine it with their spirit and use their spirit to drive it. Only then can the full power of the spiritual treasure be unleashed.

Previously, due to the Suppressing Dragon Elephant’s influence, there was no rejection between Chen Fei and the broken ruler, and he found it quite handy to use.

However, just now, Chen Fei discovered that there was still a barrier between himself and the broken ruler.

This barrier wasn’t due to the ruler’s rejection but rather Chen Fei’s own insufficient strength.

Chen Fei activated the Soul Breaking Technique, stirring the hidden spirit within his body. His spirit trembled slightly as a thread of spirit power flowed into the broken ruler.

Within the broken ruler, the dormant imprint seemed to stir as if awakened.

In a trance, Chen Fei saw a figure.

Though just the silhouette of an ordinary person, at this moment, it loomed before Chen Fei like a giant.

With the sky above, the earth beneath, and the stars grasped in hand.

An overwhelming pressure hit him, but Chen Fei’s consciousness emitted the roar of the Dragon Elephant in his sea of consciousness, resisting this imposing force.

In the next moment, the figure ahead shattered, turning into flowing light and vanishing.

Chen Fei stood still, his gaze filled with radiance.

This figure must have been the former owner of this spiritual treasure. Just by looking at the back, one could discern the individual’s former might.

However, after so many years had passed, things had changed, and the treasure was damaged. The former owner had likely met their end. Only the imprint within the treasure remained.

And as Chen Fei activated the treasure this time, that imprint completely dissipated.

“Discovered technique: Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering (Incomplete)!”

A sudden message appeared on the panel, catching Chen Fei off guard at first, then filling him with great joy.

Previously, Chen Fei had a hunch that there might be traces of Mountain Sea Realm techniques within the broken ruler. After all, the spiritual treasure had always been by the side of Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, and their techniques were channeled through the treasure.

Wherever elemental power flowed, it naturally left scharacteristics of the techniques within the spiritual treasure.

For others, deciphering these traces to reconstruct the techniques would be impossible.

But the panel could. Just as Chen Fei once saw the incomplete walls within the Strange Heart Realm and the panel deduced the Star Gazing Art from them.

Having used the spiritual treasure for so many years without any activity from the panel, Chen Fei had assumed it might take several more years for the panel to gather enough information.

Never did he expect that with the complete activation of the imprint, the technique would finally appear—and it was the very technique Chen Fei had longed for: Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering.

Tong Linyun stood in the distance, watching Chen Fei amidst the primordial energy of heaven and earth, utterly baffled.

Three flowers converged at the crown, peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm?

Had Chen Fei truly broken through to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm just like that?

Having spent less than a year in Sea Dominion City, Chen Fei’s breakthrough from the mid to late stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was already incredible, something beyond comprehension.

And now, in less than a year, he had directly advanced three steps, condensing the Three Flowers and achieving the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

It was no longer a matter of being astonished; Tong Linyun simply couldn’t fathom how such a thing could happen.

Tong Linyun knew Chen Fei possessed exceptional talent, but how did he cultivate in such a short time?

The peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm! Among the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance, there were barely over twenty individuals at this level.

Within the Alliance, there were countless warriors, but only these few had reached this position. And compared to others, Chen Fei was exceptionally young.

“Simplify: Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering!”

“Simplification of Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering (Incomplete) in progress… Simplification successful… Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering (Incomplete) -> Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering: Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering!”

It took a whopping five thousand middle-grade elemental stones, but the simplification of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering was successful. And this was just an incomplete spirit technique; for a complete one, the cost in elemental stones would likely be tens of thousands.

However much elemental stones were spent, Chen Fei considered it worthwhile.

Since obtaining the Suppressing Dragon Elephant in Pingyin County, this technique had provided Chen Fei with immense assistance.

Without the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei would have been stronger than peers at the slevel due to the mastery of various techniques, but he would not have been nearly as formidable, reaching a level almost akin to crushing peers at the slevel.

As Chen Fei activated the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering: Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering, a profound and mysterious insight appeared in his sea of consciousness, swiftly absorbed by Chen Fei.

Compared to the rudimentary nature of the Soul Breaking Technique, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering was undoubtedly far more sophisticated. In fact, there was no comparison between the two. Read Web s Online Free - Fire Fire -

The Soul Breaking Technique was a simplified version of Mountain Sea Realm techniques, designed to allow Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators to experience their spirit. Due to the limitations of their realm, spirit techniques could not greatly enhance the spirit of Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

Moreover, the Soul Breaking Technique that Chen Fei acquired was incomplete.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering: Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering was also incomplete, but its essence was a technique from the Mountain Sea Realm, passed down from the slineage as the Dragon Elephant. Even with just a slight comprehension, Chen Fei felt a subtle warmth emanating from his physical body.

Not only his physique, but Chen Fei’s consciousness also began to undergo a different transformation.

Because of the panel, Chen Fei had never lacked in intelligence or understanding. What he lacked were powerful techniques, which were often the hardest to obtain.

Especially when there was a one-rank difference in realms, it was even more difficult to acquire corresponding techniques.

Chen Fei took a deep breath, and in an instant, the surrounding primordial energy was completely absorbed.

He looked at the mural in front of him, extended his right hand, and with a piercing scream, the Evil painting was completely crushed into a mass, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Chen Fei then turned to Tong Linyun. With a slight sway of his body, he appeared before Tong Linyun.

With the convergence of the Three Flowers at the crown, Chen Fei’s breakthrough was now considered a complete success.

The unexpected delight of obtaining the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering: Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering aside, mastering it would not be achieved in the short term, nor would breaking through the barrier of his physique be easy.

If it were anywhere else, Chen Fei would likely immerse himself in cultivation. But now, within this realm of mystery, there were still many unresolved matters.

Moreover, as Chen Fei stepped into the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, he felt the will within the primordial energy of heaven and earth becoming clearer.

In just a few days, the owner of this will would undergo a true transformation.

By then, even if Chen Fei were to advance his physique to the Mountain Sea Realm first, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the owner of this will.

“Hold onto this. It can command the primordial energy of heaven and earth, but remember, do not absorb it.”

Chen Fei handed the round bead refined from the Evil painting to Tong Linyun.

Tong Linyun looked at Chen Fei, sensing the overwhelming and suffocating aura emanating from him, and hastily nodded.

Tong Linyun had seen peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators before, but subtly, he felt that Chen Fei seemed even stronger than those at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

But Chen Fei had only just broken through, hadn’t he?
