Chapter 640: Breakthrough
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Fei’s eyes widened slightly as the mysterious Evil didn’t just move elsewhere but vanished directly from Chen Fei’s perception.
The third-tier Evil’s speed was extremely fast, but no matter how fast it was, it couldn’t escape the perception range of the Heavenly Eye in an instant.
The Heavenly Eye originated from Star Gazing Art, and within the realm of Evils, Star Gazing Art was the most acute form of perception.
Chen Fei drifted to the side of where the Evil had disappeared, looking at the faint wrinkles left in the void, his brows slightly furrowed.
This sensation was much like the Evil piercing through the spatial boundaries of the Strange Heart Realm, directly leaving the realm, similar to how Chen Pel’s consciousness returned to Thousand Feathers City.
But Chen Fei’s consciousness could return to Thousand Feathers City because his physical body was there, allowing his consciousness to break through space and return along the faint connection.
However, the root of the Evil was in the Strange Heart Realm, so where did it go from here? This was the first time Chen Fei had seen an Evil break through space and leave.
“Now that there are so many Evils within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, could it be because of the Strange Heart Realm?”
Suddenly, a thought emerged in Chen Fei’s mind. Was it because of the unbearable living conditions that these Evils descended upon the Thousand Feathers Alliance following the grievances?
Or perhaps, there were others who were using some kind of ritual to summon the Evils out of the Strange Heart Realm?
!!..
Normally, Evils wouldn’t be able to find their way to the Thousand Feathers Alliance, but if there were grievances guiding them or some kind of ritual, then their arrival would become possible.
Chen Fei furrowed his brow tightly. The Strange Heart Realm was boundless, at least from Chen Fei’s current perspective, he couldn’t see its boundaries.
Because the Strange Heart Realm was so vast, there were also numerous Evils here. Although most of them were first and second-tier Evils, third-tier Evils were relatively fewer.
If these Evils continued to descend upon the Thousand Feathers Alliance endlessly, then the ordinary people of the Thousand Feathers Alliance would have no chance of survival.
Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators below the Aperture Tempering realm would be unable to escape when encountering third-tier Evils.
And those more numerous second-tier Evils would mean certain death for those below the Aperture Tempering realm!
Chen Fei suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that he had a clone, and the strength of the clone had reached the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm.
Otherwise, if Evils truly descended near the Primordial Sword Sect, relying solely on formations, the Primordial Sword Sect would be unable to withstand slightly stronger Evils.
“The current strength of the clone is still weak. I must quickly refine the Three Flowers Shadow Art to enhance its strength further!”
Having integrated the Combined Aperture Tempering Three Questions, there was a chance for the clone’s strength to improve. At the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it was already challenging to cope with the increasingly complex situations.
Chen Fei’s figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
The situation in the Strange Heart Realm might already be known to the Thousand Feathers City. Recently, every time Chen Fei visited the Strange Heart Realm, he could detect this Evil. Many people from the Thousand Feathers Alliance entered and exited the Strange Heart Realm, so there was no reason why they wouldn’t have noticed this situation.
After a moment, Chen Fei locked onto a late third-tier Evil again.
Gray mist pervaded the surroundings, accompanied by a chilling sensation.
These mists would directly assail the consciousness. If the strength of the consciousness was insufficient, one might lose all reaction in an instant, then involuntarily walk into the mist, becoming part of it.
Within the mist, a dark figure appeared faintly, and with just a simple gaze, the frenzied murmurs in one’s ears would instantly become intense, as if intending to pierce through one’s skull directly.
A glint of sword light appeared at Chen Fei’s fingertips. With a slight movement of his right hand forward, hundreds of sword lights appeared in front of him in an instant.
Wherever the sword lights passed, the gray mist shattered in an instant. The dark figure within the mist turned to look at Chen Fei. The next moment, it leaped over the sword light and appeared directly in front of Chen Fei.
The chilling aura almost filled every corner of the surrounding space. Countless distracting thoughts arose from Chen Fei’s mind, and murmurs of curses echoed in his ears, coming in voices of men, women, old, and young.
Chen Fei remained expressionless as a brilliant sword light appeared in front of him. Within the sword light, the sword formations overlapped, sweeping away the surrounding coldness and curses with astonishing sword intent.
For Chen Fei now, killing Evils was like a familiar routine.
As long as his own consciousness was resilient enough, his techniques could tear through the Evil’s body, making things simple.
An hour later, in the courtyard’s secret chamber, Chen Fei opened his eyes, and a piece of Strange Heart Stone flew out from the Qiankun Bag.
With a light tap of his right hand, the Heart Refinement Formation formed in an instant. Soon after, several identical Heart Refinement Formations were quickly overlaid onto the formation.
The Strange Heart Origin flew out from the spatial grid and entered the Heart Refinement Formation, wisps of black mist drifting out from within. Chen Fei waved his right hand, gathering these black mists into the spatial grid.
As the Heart Refinement Formation dissipated, a Broken Ruler appeared in Chen Fei’s hand.
The power of the Broken Ruler had not yet recovered, its aura now subdued to the extreme. Surrounded by several formations, there was no need to worry about the leakage of the spiritual treasure’s aura.
Ordering the Strange Heart Origin to be collected into the spatial grid, Chen Fei commanded mentally.
Immediately, countless black qi overflowed from the Strange Heart Origin within the spatial grid, flowing into another spatial grid.
Ever since Chen Fei had used this method to deal with the exchange items in the Black Divine Domain last time, he had been using this method to handle the Strange Heart Origin.
Compared to continuously overlaying the Heart Refinement Formation and worrying about whether the formation could clean the Strange Heart Origin completely, this direct filtration by the spatial grid was more efficient and reassuring.
In less than a moment, the Strange Heart Origin within the spatial grid had been purified to its purest form. Chen Fei summoned it out and integrated it into his body.
A warm feeling emerged in his consciousness, making one feel an urge to fall into a deep sleep.
Putting away the spiritual treasure, Chen Fei waved his hand, and more than twenty spiritual materials appeared on the ground, all of which were needed to condense the second flower.
Among them, the most precious was undoubtedly the Heavenly Lingzhi, but the value of several other spiritual materials was only slightly weaker than that of the Heavenly Lingzhi.
Compared to the cost of condensing the first flower, the consumption of condensing the second flower at this moment was undoubtedly much higher.
If it weren’t for the various treasures seized, Chen Fei would have to spend who knows how long to gather these valuable spiritual materials relying solely on his own power.
With that time, Chen Fei wouldn’t need to practice the Unfettered Matrix Technique, and could just focus on cultivation.
As the saying goes, be grateful to those who have harmed you, because they have made you stronger.
In his previous life, Chen Fei didn’t understand this saying. Isn’t it repaying evil with kindness?
Then how do you repay kindness!
In this life, Chen Fei understood. You really have to thank those who have harmed you. Without them, how could Chen Fei have cultivated so quickly?
Tens of thousands of medium-grade elemental stones, what an exaggerated number, but Chen Fei owned them!
Chen Fei formed hand seals, and the Unfettered Matrix Technique began to operate.
More than twenty spiritual materials floated up, and their spiritual essences were extracted, then gradually gathered onto Chen Fei’s Combined Apertures, once again giving him the feeling of carrying a heavy load within his Combined Apertures.
Compared to the last time when condensing the Flower of Essence, the sense of burden on Chen Fei’s Combined Apertures this time was even more pronounced. Tremors emanated from the Combined Apertures, triggering a response from the entire body’s elemental energy, causing the flesh to involuntarily tense up.
Although the Unfettered Matrix Technique was not a demonic technique, taking shortcuts was indeed not something an ordinary person could do.
Without a truly solid foundation, taking shortcuts would only harm oneself in the end.
Ripples appeared in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, connecting with the spiritual essence on the Combined Apertures. The divine on the Combined Apertures began to gradually strengthen.
Faintly, a new ring appeared on the Combined Apertures. Compared to the previous first ring, this additional ring was undoubtedly much larger.
Because of this, the pressure on Chen Fei’s Combined Apertures instantly increased, and the magnitude of the Combined Apertures’s tremors also became greater.
A beam of light emitted from the center of Chen Fei’s eyebrows, displaying all the details of the Combined Apertures clearly in his sea of consciousness.
Despite the increased frequency of Combined Apertures tremors and the sensation as if the Combined Apertures were about to collapse, in reality, Chen Fei’s Combined Apertures had no problems whatsoever.
Even if the pressure were to increase several times more now, it would still be unable to affect Chen Fei’s Combined Apertures in any way.
According to Chen Fei’s estimate, the pressure currently borne by the Combined Apertures might already be no less than that experienced by those who followed a conventional cultivation path when condensing the third flower.
The rings on the Combined Apertures became increasingly clear, and Chen Fei’s consciousness in the sea of consciousness boiled to the extreme. In a daze, it seemed as if two perspectives appeared in his perception, as if he had gained an extra clone.
The spiritual materials in front of him dissipated one by one until even the two Heavenly Lingzhi had turned into nothingness.
With the dispersal of all the spiritual materials, the second ring on the Combined Apertures also took shape completely, marking the halfway point in the condensation of the Flower of Spirit.
For cultivators in the later stages of Combined Apertures, the most difficult aspect of condensing the third flower is not the formation of the flower itself, but rather how to place the condensed flowers onto the Combined Apertures without damaging it.
As the ring gradually descended, the frequency of Combined Apertures tremors increased, and the weight it needed to bear became greater and greater. Chen Fei’s consciousness in the sea of consciousness was also stretched by an invisible force, as if this force wanted to tear Chen Fei’s consciousness apart before giving up.
The roar of the Dragon Elephant faintly echoed in the sea of consciousness, resisting this sudden force.
“Boom!”
Chen Fei’s consciousness suddenly trembled, and his entire field of vision suddenly expanded. His perception of the natural elemental energy became even more refined, as if he had peeled away a layer of thin veil in front of him.
The secret method of the soul, the Soul Breaking Technique, spontaneously activated, and Chen Fei’s perception of his own soul became clearer.
If before it was like scratching the surface, now it was at least like wearing a pair of socks.
Although there were still barriers, the progress was very noticeable. In fact, Chen Fei could faintly sense that the speed at which the natural elemental energy nourished his soul had slightly accelerated.
Although it was just a slight improvement, almost negligible, over time, it would accumulate into a significant growth.
For the soul, any growth would be a tremendous help for future breakthroughs into the Mountain Sea Realm.
Even before reaching the peak of Combined Apertures, Chen Fei had already learned an incomplete secret method of the soul. With each breakthrough in realm, it would greatly benefit the future growth of his soul.
“Phew!”
The natural elemental energy in the secret chamber began to surge, madly pouring into Chen Fei’s body.
In just a few months before reaching the Seventh Transformation of Combined Apertures, Chen Fei successfully stepped into the Eighth Transformation of Combined Apertures today.
This cultivation speed, for the Thousand Feathers Alliance, was unprecedented!
Now, Chen Fei stood at the threshold of the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm!
