Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

The people who later joined the Primordial Sword Sect, at that moment, looked at the successive surging aura of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm ahead, their gaze filled with some complexity.

It wasn’t envy or jealousy, but thoughts about themselves.

From having broken through the Aperture Tempering realm to having reached the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, they, as veterans, knew all too well the difficulties involved. And then, with just a sprout of Heavenly Sprout Grass, all the problems and difficulties were resolved.

Such was life, sometimes it was hard to explain.

In terms of contributions to the sect, Zhou Zixun getting a sprout of Heavenly Sprout Grass posed no problem at all. But for Feng Xiupu and Chi Shuqing, under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have been able to obtain such a natural treasure.

But who made Chen Fei have close ties with them, this was the result of personal connections.

There were still a few sprouts of Heavenly Sprout Grass left. Chen Fei handed them over to Qu Qingsheng, then set a contribution standard. Only when the contribution standard was reached could one exchange for this spiritual material.

In the martial world, there were many ways for high-level martial artists to help those of lower realms, but most of the time, it was just a matter of whether it was worth it or not.

After Chi Shuqing’s breakthrough, Chen Fei worried about the instability of her realm and had a deep discussion with her about the issues needing attention in cultivation.

When Chi Shuqing understood the deeper meaning, Chen Fei stopped the discussion.

Time passed, and conflicts continued on the Middle Continent. Beasts, Evils, monsters, and occasional friction between various sects were frequent.

Even Thousand Geese City, in the recent past, had attracted some anomalies, but before the anomalies could probe the reality of Thousand Geese City, a golden sword light swept across the sky, severely injuring the early-stage Fourth-Tier Evil.

The Evil let out a deafening scream and crazily fled in the direction it came from, but before it could get far, several golden sword lights descended from the sky.

Compared to the initial one, these sword lights were much weaker in power, but their numbers were overwhelming.

Moreover, this Fourth-Tier Evil was already injured, unable to withstand the attacks. It resisted briefly before dissipating completely.

Tang Shouchang, relying on the formation of Thousand Geese City, was the first to notice this Evil and was about to inform Ning Baizheng and Chen Fei when he realized the Evil had already been slain.

Tang Shouchang smirked, gaining a deeper understanding of Chen Fei’s strength. He was truly becoming more and more abnormal.

However, for Thousand Geese City, having such a powerhouse was indeed a blessing.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since Feng Xiupu and the other two broke through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Chen Fei didn’t go anywhere, staying in Thousand Geese City all along for cultivation. Apart from occasionally discussing cultivation doubts with Chi Shuqing or Tong Linyun, all his other time was spent in seclusion, improving the proficiency of his techniques.

The Innate talent Sword Mastery, a month ago, reached the Perfection level.

Not only did the power of the sword techniques Chen Fei wield increase significantly, but the efficiency of his cultivation of the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword also improved.

With the assistance of the Innate talent Sword Mastery, the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword, which was only halfway to mastery, has now reached the Perfection level once again.

Compared to the former Purple Cloud Profound Demon Sword, which was also at the pinnacle, the power of the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword has similarly increased.

As for the Sacred Land Prodigies, Chen Fei hadn’t met them, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to make any comments.

But of the Mountain Sea Realms Chen Fei has encountered so far, including those from the Heavenly Illusion Valley, none have been able to cultivate their main techniques to this level in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realms.

Now, the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword ranks second only to the Sacred Land’s branch techniques, and it wouldn’t be inferior to the techniques these individuals have cultivated.

Therefore, in case of conflicts with these individuals, Chen Fei himself wouldn’t need to intervene; letting his clones handle it should be sufficient to deal with them.

After all, besides weaker innate talent, Chen Fei’s clones lacked the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, but they shared complete proficiency in other techniques and even surpassed the main body by a bit in realm.

Such strength might seem exaggerated for sweeping through the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm, but at this level, they were indeed among the best.

Infusing the Suppressing Dragon Elephant into the body was a meticulous process, impossible to complete in a short time.

However, Chen Fei could still slightly sense the increase in strength and the reinforcement of recovery ability with each daily practice of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

If the Suppressing Dragon Elephant truly reached Great Completion, it wouldn’t just lead to a rebirth from blood, but might also trigger qualitative changes in other aspects.

Therefore, Chen Fei wasn’t in a hurry, just steadily cultivating the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, looking forward to the day of success.

The Thousand Illusions Profound Slaying Sword was still progressing towards perfection, but after half a year of practice, Chen Fei’s speed in condensing the Illusionary Body of Xuanyuan Sword had improved significantly.

Now, he could instantly condense the Illusionary Body with a single thought, and even guide the true spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword to a greater extent.

With the improvement in proficiency of the Thousand Illusions Profound Slaying Sword, Chen Fei could elevate the illusions of the Xuanyuan Sword to twenty-six manifestations without harming himself.

With no harm to the twenty-six manifestations of the illusions of the Xuanyuan Sword, reaching the level of thirty-five manifestations was possible with mutual injury, but without harming the essence of the mind and soul.

At this moment, there were two types of attacks stored in Chen Fei’s spatial grid.

These weren’t just pure strikes of the Xuanyuan Sword but included the fusion of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant’s peculiar power, followed by a blend of Xuanyuan Sword strikes.

The power of this combination even stirred Chen Fei’s mind, because if he were to face such an attack himself, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it and would inevitably suffer severe injuries.

In order to achieve such an attack, it had burdened the Monster King Nie Li considerably. After all, with the clones, Chen Fei could now bear fifty percent more pressure on top of his own limits.

Chen Fei’s own pressure limit was continuously increasing, as the Suppressing Dragon Elephant kept enhancing, and the mastery of the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword would also elevate his body’s pressure limit.

With this foundation growing, and the Innate talent Domain Suppression always granting a thirty percent reduction in damage, coupled with the clones under the continuous technique, it was practically impossible for ordinary early-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators to break through Chen Fei’s defense.

Unless they were those Sacred Land Prodigies wielding high-grade spiritual treasures, they could possibly achieve this feat.

Therefore, Nie Li only reached Chen Fei’s limits after attacking him several times, and then Chen Fei unleashed that sword.

Seeing this sword, Nie Li’s eyes widened. It knew its owner was strong, and without strength, it wouldn’t be possible for him to subdue it.

Moreover, just standing there and letting it attack several times, Chen Fei was unscathed, widening the gap between them even further.

But it wasn’t until Nie Li saw this sword from Chen Fei that he realized just how vast the difference was.

This sword, if Chen Fei were to bear it, would result in severe injuries. If it were to fall on Nie Li, not even a bone frame would be left, he would be annihilated without a trace.

At this moment, Nie Li’s loyalty to Chen Fei instantly soared to its highest value.

Betrayal was impossible, and even looking at the situation, whether he could outlast Chen Fei in the future was a very big question.

After storing away the two ultimate attacks, Chen Fei continued to recover from his injuries while continuing his cultivation.

According to Chen Fei’s plan, once he mastered all his techniques to perfection, he could make a trip to the Sacred Land City, try his luck, and see if there were any spiritual materials similar to the Heavenly Rain Flower.

However, just less than a month later, the fragment of the Enlightenment Tower in Chen Fei’s sleeve began to tremble.

Two days later, Min Yanlu, accompanied by Master Haiyue and a stranger in the Mountain Sea Realm, arrived at Thousand Geese City.

“Is it true that there’s a rift in the void within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, and an altar has fallen through the breach?”

Chen Fei’s expression was filled with surprise upon hearing the purpose of Min Yanlu’s visit.

“Yes, and it has landed near the original location of that spatial passage, now embedded within it,” Min Yanlu nodded.

If the Thousand Feathers Alliance was considered a remote area within the Endless Sea, then the spatial passage connecting to Immortal Cloud City was tucked away in a corner of the alliance.

It was rarely visited, and if Min Yanlu hadn’t arranged for some people within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, he wouldn’t have been able to learn of this news.

Chen Fei’s brows furrowed slightly. In recent years, the appearance of such void rifts in other places had become increasingly apparent.

The spatial passage to Immortal Cloud City was probably a result of such occurrences. And with the gradually intensifying activity of monsters, there seemed to be a special connection between them.

“We still don’t know if this altar in the void has any special significance. While others are still unaware of this, let’s go back and drive out those five Monster Kings and seize control of this altar,” Master Haiyue said in alow voice.

If a palace were to fall from the void, regardless of whether anyone knows about it now, they wouldn’t dare to make a move on that palace because there are no secrets in the world, and eventually, it would be discovered by the powerful figures of the Middle Continent.

Those late-stage or even peak experts of the Mountain Sea Realm wouldn’t miss out on such a palace that fell from the void.

But if it’s just an altar, then the problem would be much less severe.

Because in the history of the Middle Continent, altars have fallen many times, and the only valuable thing about them is the spiritual materials used to set up the altar.

After drifting in the void for so many years, these altars have long lost their original function. Sometimes, the spiritual materials on the altars might even be worn away by the void power, losing their original characteristics.

“This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later, or else others might beat us to it,” Yan Yinwen said, looking at Chen Fei.

The spiritual materials on that altar might not be attractive to late-stage or even mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, but they still hold value for those in the early stages.

Yan Yinwen agreed to go to the Thousand Feathers Alliance to drive out the Monster Kings not only because he had some friendship with Min Yanlu but also because Min Yanlu promised him quite a few benefits, as well as the altar that fell from the void.

“Alright, I’ll accompany you tomorrow,” Chen Fei replied.

Chen Fei pondered for a moment, then nodded. He had promised Min Yanlu before that he would visit the Thousand Feathers Alliance and drive out the Monster Kings when needed.

Now, Min Yanlu not only brought a new cultivator from the Mountain Sea Realm but also mentioned a fallen altar, which piqued Chen Fei’s curiosity.

Objects drifting in the void for years would accumulate some void power over time, albeit very faintly. For those with an affinity for the void, there would be some benefits.

Especially for altars like this, according to the records Chen Fei had read, whether due to their structure or other reasons, they contained a denser void power.

“Aren’t you going to send that Monster King from your sect?” Yan Yinwen asked, puzzled when Chen Fei only mentioned himself.

“It won’t be going,” Chen Fei shook his head.

“Why?” Min Yanlu and Master Haiyue also turned to look at Chen Fei.

“It’s too weak,” Chen Fei replied.

Min Yanlu and the others were perplexed.
