Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In recent years, the Thousand Feathers Alliance underwent rapid changes. In the past, during times of peace, casualties in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm were extremely rare. Everyone adhered to the rules of the Thousand Feathers Alliance, and there were no occurrences that crossed the line.
But then, not only were there more deaths in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, but when one died, it often led to a large-scale loss of life.
Take, for example, the previous escape from the Sea Dominion City, as well as the recent Battle of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.
Under the cover of night, at the Tingfeng Pavilion of the Primordial Sword Sect.
Chi Shuqing had already fallen asleep exhausted, while Chen Fei sat cross-legged in the courtyard, organizing the items in his hands.
Many things in the Thousand Feathers City were difficult for Chen Fei to organize. Despite the barriers of formations, there were still speculiarities in timing.
Now that he had returned to the Primordial Sword Sect, no longer under the watchful eyes of the Mountain Sea Realm, there was hardly anyone in the entire Sea Peak City that Chen Fei needed to worry about.
The three peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion were all killed by Chen Fei, and whether it was their swords or their Qiankun Bags, they naturally fell into Chen Fei’s hands.
Just these three top-grade magical treasures alone were invaluable.
Perhaps all the items Chen Fei had acquired over the years didn’t even compare to this one.
Top-grade magical treasures were few and far between in the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance. Many of the top powers passed down these top-grade magical treasures from generation to generation.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to forge a new top-grade magical treasure for every new peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert; it was just that the materials needed for crafting top-grade magical treasures were extremely rare.
Furthermore, having top-grade materials didn’t guarantee the ability to forge a top-grade magical treasure, as there were many factors involved.
Therefore, most of the time, they would continue to use and pass down top-grade magical treasures. Through the nurturing of many individuals, the power of top-grade magical treasures would also increase to sextent.
These three top-grade magical treasures, their age within the Fallen Heaven Pavilion was already difficult to measure, and their power was unquestionable, making them undoubtedly the cream of the crop among top-grade magical treasures.
However, it becextremely difficult for Chen Fei to sell them off.
In the Thousand Feathers Alliance, there were only a few who could afford to buy these three top-grade magical treasures at the asking price. Other Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts might have been tempted by top-grade magical treasures, but the truth was they couldn’t afford them.
However difficult it might be to sell them, there was ultimately a way to get rid of them; it just required a bit more effort.
In addition to the three top-grade magical treasures, when Chen Fei killed Yan Gongli, he also obtained a high-grade magical treasure. With sspiritual materials, Chen Fei could easily give it a makeover and sell it directly.
Inside several Qiankun Bags, there wasn’t an abundance of elemental stones, but there was a substantial amount.
There were five thousand pieces of medium-grade elemental stones and over a hundred pieces of high-grade elemental stones.
One of the Qiankun Bags was specifically used to store elemental stones, probably set aside by Tan Bingxiu and his two companions when numerous Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts attacked the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s mountain gate.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAside from elemental stones, the Qiankun Bags contained various rare spiritual materials.
Leaving aside Yan Gongli, Tan Bingxiu and his two companions were the ultimate authority figures within the Fallen Heaven Pavilion. Any precious items stored elsewhere wouldn’t be secure, but in their possession, it was undoubtedly the most reliable.
These were the accumulated treasures of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion over the years. Considering the value of the items obtained after so many Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts besieged the mountain gate of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, it was likely that the worth wouldn’t even match thirty to forty percent of what Chen Fei currently held in his hands.
What was divided among so many Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts was now solely enjoyed by Chen Fei.
Chen Fei patiently sorted the contents of the Qiankun Bags into different categories, then placed them back into their respective Qiankun Bags.
It took Chen Fei over an hour to organize the various spiritual materials and elixirs. Additionally, he also sorted through the cultivation manuals and jade slips of techniques from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.
Tan Bingxiu and his two companions kept the important cultivation legacies of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion with them. Although not numerous, each one was a masterpiece.
Even the most top-notch legacy, the Fallen Heaven Technique, had most of its contents recorded, with only skey points left unrecorded, presumably passed down orally.
Chen Fei spent an hour reading through the Fallen Heaven Technique and then integrated it into the Profound Heavenly Sword.
The proficiency of the Profound Heavenly Sword dropped from Great Completion to Perfection, but Chen Fei only spent a moment’s effort to re-cultivate it back to Great Completion.
Previously, after refining the Profound Heavenly Sword with the techniques of the other nine families, it was already very powerful. The addition of the Fallen Heaven Technique only pushed it forward slightly.
There was improvement, but not significant enough, so it was quite easy to re-cultivate it back to perfection.
Chen Fei mainly glanced through the outlines of the other cultivation manuals and realized that they wouldn’t provide any substantial help for his current situation.
Chen Fei’s strength had almost reached the peak below the Mountain Sea Realm, especially with the appearance of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant techniques, which pushed his combat prowess to an incredible level.
Despite not being in the Mountain Sea Realm, being able to use techniques from that realm was somewhat absurd.
Because of this, it seemed unlikely that ordinary cultivation techniques would help Chen Fei further enhance his strength.
The simplest way for Chen Fei to continue improving now was to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.
The change in strength resulting from reaching this realm was the most straightforward.
However, breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm was a matter of life and death. A slight mistake could result in irreversible consequences, with almost no chance for a second attempt.
Even among the top powers of the Thousand Feathers Alliance, none of their Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts had succeeded in this endeavor.
The direct disciples of the Mountain Sea Realm, who were guided hand in hand by the Mountain Sea Realm experts, received thorough guidance on the various challenges they might encounter during the breakthrough process. Yet, despite this comprehensive training, the success rate of breakthroughs remained extremely low.
If Chen Fei were to attempt breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm now, he would still have scertainty, but it would only be a fraction of it.
According to Chen Fei’s own thoughts, he could first break through the barrier with his physique and transform it into a Mountain Sea Realm physique.
By having such a physique, when he later broke through with elemental power to the Mountain Sea Realm, his body would be able to withstand stronger impacts of the heaven and earth elemental energy, leaving more tfor his soul to undergo transformation.
In the past, Chen Fei didn’t have much confidence in breaking through the barrier with his physique, but with the acquisition of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant techniques, his confidence in this aspect suddenly skyrocketed.
Although the Suppressing Dragon Elephant techniques were practiced in different positions, they ultimately reflected on the physique.
As long as Chen Fei cultivated the Suppressing Dragon Elephant techniques to their fullest, not only would his soul be strengthened, but there was also a good chance that his physique would naturally break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.
By then, with the dual growth of physique and soul, Chen Fei didn’t believe there would be any obstacles to his breakthrough to the Mountain Sea Realm.
“Just a little more time, and I’ll reach the Mountain Sea Realm!”
Chen Fei raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, his gaze flickering.
The Concealment Bell appeared in Chen Fei’s hand. In ten days’ time, the transformation of the Concealment Bell had not yet been completed, and the Qianyuan Sword was the same.
Breaking through from a high-grade magical treasure to a top-grade magical treasure was not as simple as it sounded, especially considering that the spiritual materials used to forge the Concealment Bell and the Qianyuan Sword were quite ordinary.
Chen Fei waved his right hand, and the spiritual essence from Shen Yuanjun within the Concealment Bell was drawn out.
A figure appeared beside Chen Fei, which was his clone.
Having already perfected the Three Flowers Shadow Art integrated with the Combined Aperture Tempering Three Questions, Chen Fei now intended to use the spiritual essence of Shen Yuanjun to enhance his clone.
These spiritual essences could also be absorbed by Chen Fei’s main body.
However, what Chen Fei lacked now wasn’t elemental power, considering he had already reached the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Taking another step forward would lead to the Mountain Sea Realm.
As for feeding these spiritual essences to the Dragon Elephant Induction Point, it was possible. However, because his physique had already reached a barrier, the Dragon Elephant Induction Point could only slowly enhance the strength of his physique by absorbing the spiritual essence bit by bit.
To elevate his physique to the Mountain Sea Realm using this method would require a considerable amount of time. And during this time, Chen Fei might have already cultivated the Suppressing Dragon Elephant techniques to completion.
Only by utilizing resources and transforming them into personal strength could one truly make the most of them. Keeping them stored away for the future wasn’t necessarily the wisest choice.
Chen Fei formed seals with both hands, and a formation fell around the Tingfeng Pavilion, completely isolating its aura. Then, the spiritual essence flowed into Chen Fei’s clone.
The strength of the clone began to increase, but when it reached the middle stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it automatically regressed to the initial stage.
This was due to the restrictions of the cultivation technique imposed initially, and what Chen Fei needed to address now was precisely this limitation.
The spiritual essence began to rotate within the clone’s body, forming a vortex, and as it collapsed, a spot appeared.
Originally only emitting the aura of the initial stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, with the appearance of the spot, the clone’s aura jumped to the middle stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and no longer slipped back.
Chen Fei remained expressionless. This was just the beginning. He intended to use the Three Flowers Shadow Art to forge a clone of peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm level.
The Primordial Sword Sect being a sect with a pair of peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts?
Thousands of miles away, in the Xiangtan Domain.
Yu Xinfeng walked on the streets, his expression somewhat dull.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
In recent days, Yu Xinfeng had been having continuous dreams. In these dreams, he was an unparalleled genius.
Any cultivation technique that cinto his hands could be comprehended in no time, and within a very short period, he could cultivate it to its peak.
Yu Xinfeng had had such dreams before. After all, who wouldn’t wish to be a peerless talent and beca powerful figure?
But in reality, Yu Xinfeng was just a small leader in a faction. His talent was decent, but certainly not outstanding.
At the age of only forty, he was still just a practitioner in the Visceral Tempering realm. The Combined Aperture Tempering realm seemed distant, and he didn’t dare to attempt a breakthrough, fearing that he might suffer severe consequences.
However, what puzzled Yu Xinfeng was that recently, with the appearance of these dreams, his talents seemed to be truly improving. Many cultivation techniques that he couldn’t understand or grasp before were now clear to him at a glance.
Moreover, with the continuous appearance of dreams recently, a marvelous cultivation technique appeared in his mind. Yu Xinfeng tried to cultivate it, and it unexpectedly led to a rapid surge in his physical strength.
According to Yu Xinfeng’s estimation, he might be able to attempt a breakthrough to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm in a few days.
However, as he continued to cultivate the technique, Yu Xinfeng couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to emerge from his mind.
This sensation was strange, as if there was another self about to appear.
After a busy day in the faction, Yu Xinfeng returned to his house and continued to cultivate the technique from his dreams.
Despite feeling perplexed, Yu Xinfeng couldn’t help but continue cultivating the technique. He had doubts, but for sreason, he couldn’t stop himself from practicing this technique.
Entering a state of meditation, Yu Xinfeng exerted force to move the cultivation technique within his mind. His thoughts grew fainter, and his self-awareness weakened.
Yu Xinfeng sensed that something was amiss, but he couldn’t stop. The strange feeling of another self about to emerge, which had been growing stronger in the past few days, now overwhelmed him.
Suddenly, Yu Xinfeng felt a sense of panic, but he was completely powerless to prevent it.
An hour later, Yu Xinfeng opened his eyes, and a flash of crimson passed through them.
Yu Xinfeng lowered his head and examined himself, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
“Chen Fei!”
Yu Xinfeng, or rather Shen Yuanjun, had a gloomy look in his eyes.
Thousands of miles away, at the Primordial Sword Sect.
After several days of refining, the aura of Chen Fei’s clone grew stronger and stronger.
Following the Three Flowers Shadow Art, forging the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and seizing the Three Flowers, Chen Fei’s clone finally broke through to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, almost depleting Shen Yuanjun’s spiritual essence in the process.
“Hum!”
The essence of heaven and earth began to swirl, and the clone’s clothes fluttered as it floated in mid-air.
“Swish!”
The clone’s eyes opened, flashing like thunder, locking gazes with its main body.
A faint smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face. Suddenly, Chen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly. Astonishingly, the clone sensed a peculiar aura resonating from a distant place.
Chen Fei was somewhat surprised. Considering the missing part of Shen Yuanjun’s soul, he didn’t expect such a change when forging the clone with Shen Yuanjun’s spiritual essence..
