Chapter 330 - 330: The Endless Sea

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation

“Is it just the few of you? What about the others?” Tong Zhongqiu looked at Feng Xiupu and Wei Yantao, his brow slightly furrowed.

He had already known about the recent abnormality in the mystic realm when it couldn’t open normally a while ago. However, at that time, Tong Zhongqiu hadn’t paid much attention to it.

The most likely cause of trouble in the mystic realm was the influence of the Divine Flame Sect. But this newly-formed second-tier mystic realm could only accommodate cultivators at the early phase Aperture Tempering realm at most.

Considering the number of Aperture Tempering realm cultivators from various sects inside the mystic realm, the Divine Flame Sect wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble.

However, it wasn’t until just now, with the appearance of that Combined Aperture Tempering realm aura, that it had directly alarmed the people waiting outside the mystic realm from various sects, and it had also caught Tong Zhongqiu’s attention.

“There has been an incident at Half-Bottle Mountain!” Feng Xiupu relayed Chen Fei’s words. The situation wasn’t too complicated, but what was complex was the Despair City and the sudden appearance of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm powerhouse.

Therefore, when Chen Fei explained these matters to Feng Xiupu, he didn’t hold back, and Feng Xiupu naturally recounted everything in detail.

After listening to Feng Xiupu’s account, Tong Zhongqiu’s brow didn’t relax; it furrowed even deeper. He could tell that Feng Xiupu was not lying, and there was no reason to lie about such matters.

The transition of this mystic realm from the first tier to the second tier was already full of mysteries, and the appearance of this Despair City could explain some things. As for the unfamiliar Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, it made Tong Zhongqiu consider a possibility.

This Despair City seemed to be linked to a realm with more abundant spiritual energy, and this Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator came from that place.

Three days later, astonishing news spread throughout Immortal Cloud City and all the surrounding cities.

A new Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator arrived in this region, accompanied by members of this powerful cultivator’s family. At this moment, an embryonic mountain gate has appeared at the location of the original mystic realm.

Both the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Divine Flame Sect dispatched personnel to express goodwill and provided a lot of manpower to help this powerful family construct their mountain gate more quickly.

Primordial Sword Sect.

Three days ago, Chen Fei had returned to the sect. As soon as he returned, he pretended to be severely injured. However, he had already awakened internally.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and other sects didn’t make things difficult for Chen Fei and his companions. Although they felt uneasy about the situation, considering that the Aperture Tempering realm cultivators from the Big Dipper Tower were all wiped out in the mystic realm, and the Sunken Water Pavilion was left with only one person, Chi Shuqing, who was on the verge of death, and the Primordial Sword Sect had four survivors, they found some balance in the situation.

Chen Fei and his companions were heavily injured, with injuries on par with those of Chi Shuqing and Ren Zhongyang.

When they heard that Chi Shuqing and Ren Zhongyang had been pulled out of the Despair City by Chen Fei, the Sunken Water Pavilion had to thank him.

As for Feng Xiupu and Wei Yantao, their injuries were lighter, but they had nearly been killed by the Divine Flame Sect. The only reason they hadn’t entered the Despair City was that they were saved by the Primordial Sword Sect. Therefore, no matter how you looked at it, the Primordial Sword Sect couldn’t be blamed for this situation.

As for the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, they hadn’t been completely wiped out. Liao Hanqin had survived, but all of his acupoints were shattered, and his cultivation had directly dropped to the Visceral Tempering stage.

The fact that Liao Hanqin was able to leave the Despair City was not only because he had exerted himself to the limit but also because he had been brought out by the new Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

That Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator not only brought Liao Hanqin out but also rescued Wu Yongzhao from the Divine Flame Sect.

It could be considered an act of goodwill as they returned both individuals to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Divine Flame Sect.

“The Endless Sea!

Chen Fei and Feng Xiupu sat on stone chairs, and the faint scent of tea wafted around, making people feel relaxed.

“In the sect’s records, there are sporadic mentions of the Endless Sea, which is a place much richer in spiritual energy than our area. However, the records do not detail how to get to the Endless Sea,” Feng Xiupu said in a low voice.

Having a family with a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator in charge has to flee to our area because of the situation in the Endless Sea. It’s really hard to imagine what kind of situation it is over there!” Chen Fei recalled the rumors of the past few days with a somewhat nostalgic expression.

The Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, accompanied by his family, had crossed the entire Despair City to come here in order to avoid conflict.

Here, having a Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert was a necessary condition for becoming a dominant force, because only a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator had the power to suppress all opposition.

But now, someone tells you that even a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator has to run away with their family. If they don’t, the entire family could be in danger.

That Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert had forcefully suppressed the mystic realm, and after expressing some goodwill, he didn’t hide his background.

He had already understood the situation around Immortal Cloud City, and his strength here was enough to protect his entire family and allow them to live well.

In that case, there was no need to hide anything. Sometimes, the more you hide, the more you arouse suspicion.

Indeed, after learning about the background of this Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, both the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Divine Flame Sect eagerly expressed their goodwill, hoping to bring this Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator into their own camp.

However, this new Foundation Building stage expert had no intention of getting involved in such disputes.

For other sects to be fence-sitters would be seeking their own doom. But having a top-notch force with a Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert was not being a fence-sitter; it represented a different level of power.

With the arrival of this family, the situation in Immortal Cloud City, which had originally been a standoff between two powers, suddenly became a three-way balance.

“The fact that the Despair City connects to the Endless Sea is a result that no one expected. The late-stage Aperture Tempering realm cultivator you saw is from this family and entered the Despair City to understand the situation,” Feng Xiupu lifted his tea cup and took a sip.

Chen Fei nodded slightly, thinking about the other side of the Despair City leading to the Endless Sea, where the spiritual energy concentration far exceeded that of Immortal Cloud City. What kind of situation could it be?

“The Yu family has already sealed off the mystic realm. It is rumored that the other side of the Despair City has also been sealed by the Yu family’s Patriarch using an array formation to prevent the Yu family’s enemies from finding their way here. Therefore, it is currently impossible to pass through the Despair City to reach the Endless Sea.”

Seemingly sensing Chen Fei’s thoughts, Feng Xiupu shook his head.

Chen Fei chuckled softly. He did have some thoughts about the Endless Sea, but they were just thoughts. He wouldn’t go to the Endless Sea now. While there might be more opportunities there, it was clear that there would also be more dangers.

After leaving Feng Xiupu’s courtyard, Chen Fei returned to his own residence and began seclusion, outwardly claiming to be recovering from his injuries.

Regarding Chen Fei’s injuries, aside from some elders who were somewhat concerned, those who knew the true situation remained calm. What concerned them more was the condition of Ren Zhongyang.

Compared to Chen Fei’s feigned injuries, Ren Zhongyang was truly in a critical condition. Although he had been rescued from the brink of death in the past few days, it was only enough to stabilize his injuries.

The icy cold energy in the Despair City was extremely insidious. In order to leave the city gates, Ren Zhongyang and Chi Ruiqing had intentionally released their resistance against this frigid energy, causing their injuries to worsen.

Fortunately, Chen Fei had always protected their heart acupoints and sea of consciousness with his elecore soul energy, preventing these two critical areas from being damaged. Otherwise, even if they could be saved, their cultivation would have been ruined.

In gratitude for Chen Fei saving Chi Ruiqing’s life, the Sunken Water Pavilion had even specially sent a token of appreciation as a small gesture. Chen Fei did not refuse and directly accepted it.

In the secret chamber of the courtyard at this moment, Chen Fei began to refine the ball of origin energy in his sea of consciousness.

After leaving the Despair City, the copper-coin-like origin directly turned into a ball of energy and piled up in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness. In the past few days, his sea of consciousness had been slowly absorbing this the ball of origin energy, gradually increasing his core soul energy.

Chen Fei had refrained from absorbing it recklessly in the recent days, as a sudden surge in core soul energy would raise suspicions and could easily be noticed by others.

In order to feign his injuries convincingly, Chen Fei needed to act more cautiously and avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Now that he was completely in seclusion, Chen Fei had no more reservations and began to refine the power with all his might.

Within his sea of consciousness, the origin energy trembled slightly. As the Thousand Threads Technique operated, Chen Fei’s thread-like core soul energy directly probed into the origin energy, and the two began to draw closer and merge.

Chen Fei’s core soul energy, which had already reached the point of controlling forty-one acupoints, rapidly increased with the nourishment of this origin energy.

Forty-two, forty-three, forty-four!

His core soul energy grew at an astonishing speed. Chen Fei sat cross-legged on the ground, and at this moment, his entire head emitted a faint glow. Slight ripples vibrated from within his sea of consciousness, affecting the surrounding elemental energy.

Forty-five, forty-six!

The rate of growth of his core soul energy showed no signs of slowing down. At this point, the intensity of his core soul energy far exceeded the number of acupoints he had genuinely opened in his body.

A sensation of expansion began to fill Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness. This was due to his core soul energy being too strong while his own cultivation was insufficient, resulting in a kind of pressure.

In a normal cultivation process, the growth of core soul energy should complement the number of opened acupoints. Even for exceptionally talented individuals with a fast-paced core soul energy growth, it should never reach an excessively exaggerated level.

Someone like Chen Fei, whose core soul energy reached the mid-stage of the Aperture Tempering realm but had not yet reached the pinnacle of the initial stage, was not only rare but almost unheard of.

Within the cultivation realms around the Immortal Cloud City, there was no one in this situation. Apart from lacking the necessary conditions, it was also well-known how burdensome this could be for one’s sea of consciousness.

Forty-seven!

The feeling of expansion had evolved into a sensation of tearing. Chen Fei’s core soul energy paused briefly, just when he was considering whether to stop. Suddenly, within his sea of consciousness, there came the roar of the Dragon-Elephant.

What was initially a sensation of tearing gradually diminished. The Dragon-Elephant, the god-protecting aspect, directly suppressed the anomaly within his sea of consciousness.

Forty-eight, forty-nine!

As the Dragon-Elephant suppressed the unusual sensation, Chen Fei absorbed the remaining origin energy without any concern. This elevated the strength of his core soul energy directly to the level of controlling forty-nine acupoints.

With control over a full forty-nine acupoints, Chen Fei no longer had to worry about the inadequacy of his core soul energy in the short term.

This level of core soul energy intensity brought unimaginable benefits to both Chen Fei’s future cultivation and the execution of his techniques.

After refining the origin energy, Chen Fei did not emerge from seclusion but continued to cultivate.

One month later, he reached the Mastery Realm in the Slaughtering Spirits Technique.

As for the Zhongyuan Sword, the primary cultivation technique of Chen Fei, it finally reached the stage of perfection..
