Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 1019: Chapter 990: New Panel Features

At the Age Tower, being first grants one a hundred merit points per day, essentially offering unrestricted access to a special cultivation room.

Chen Fei’s already abundant merit points suddenly ceased to deplete.

However, within the Qiankun Treasure Depository, there were still many valuable precious treasures suitable even for those at the stage of the Sun Moon Realm, and for the current Chen Fei, they still held significant exchange value.

A day passed, and the side effects of Chen Fei’s Body Dissolution had completely vanished, restoring him to his peak condition.

Chen Fei began consuming Sky Extreme Pills while simultaneously cultivating Suppressing Dragon-Elephant, to gain insights from the Celestial Suppression martial art.

Among fifth-tier elixirs, the Sky Extreme Pill was exceptionally effective for the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm; after all, a single pill cost one thousand three hundred top-grade primordial stones.

This price, even for those in the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm, was quite a heavy burden.

Thus, the majority at this stage could not afford to consume Sky Extreme Pills as regular medication.

Those slightly wealthier might consume a Sky Extreme Pill every few days and rely on martial arts to refine the vital energy of heaven and earth daily, slowly enhancing their cultivation.

If all went well, graduating from the early to the pinnacle of the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm would take several hundred years.

This timeframe was relatively fast, considering that individuals in the human race at the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm could live up to three thousand years. Those with special Divine Powers might even enjoy longer lifespans.

Spending several hundred years to complete the cultivation of this stage wasn’t extraordinary, especially since during these years, one would need to evolve the third Divine Power into a complete form.

Naturally, Chen Fei could not afford to spend hundreds of years on a single Cultivation Realm, not to mention whether he himself could withstand it, the current outside situation wouldn’t allow for such a leisurely pace of cultivation.

Twenty Sky Extreme Pills a day—as long as Indestructible Vision and Celestial Suppression could withstand it, Chen Fei would consume the maximum dosage of pills.

With such a regimen, the effectiveness was tremendously apparent, and Chen Fei could feel the growth of the Source Point Space within him every single day.

By Chen Fei’s estimation, it might take just a few months for him to push the Source Point Space to its peak.

As the Source Point Space continued to evolve, the details of the three Divine Powers on his panel were also changing, evidently moving closer to a breakthrough in skill level, breaking their limits.

At that time, when the Source Point Space reaches Perfection, using the dense epiphanies in the cultivation room, Chen Fei could also master the rule particles within the three Divine Powers.

That meant, in at most half a year, Chen Fei would break through to the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm, after which he could consider advancing to the Rule Integration Realm.

From the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm to breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm, there are many thresholds.

As Zhuo Anhua demonstrated within the Age Tower previously, one requirement is to merge the three Divine Powers, engraving them into the essence, energy, spirit, and soul.

Merging the three Divine Powers doesn’t mean combining them into one, but rather, strengthening their interconnectedness.

This state allowed Zhuo Anhua to not worry much about the effects of Chen Fei’s God-slaying Sword’s Forget Technique.

Furthermore, once the Divine Powers have merged, in the Rule Integration Realm, one could utilize these three Divine Powers as easily as performing any ordinary move.

Beyond the merging of Divine Powers, the most critical part of breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm is the formation of a rule body, which alone is capable of enduring the power of the merged Divine Powers.

These are the most important two barriers in breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm, but for Chen Fei, they aren’t particularly challenging.

At most, at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, Chen Fei would need to spend some time gradually merging the three Divine Powers.

As for the rule body, once Chen Fei cultivates Celestial Suppression to the realm of Great Completion, it would instantly form.

Furthermore, the rule body formed by cultivating Celestial Suppression would directly manifest from the rule of strength, making the pure power Chen Fei possesses reach a terrifying level.

Meanwhile, Chen Fei methodically continued his quiet cultivation, while entrusting Lu Shuzhang to exchange his top-grade primordial stones for low-grade Primordial Crystals.

He could have also tasked Hua Zhichun, given the vast scope of his affiliated shop.

But the amount of low-grade Primordial Crystals Chen Fei needed was so immense that it would be difficult for the shop to fulfill this request in a short period.

At this time, the direct lineage identity of Lu Shuzhang in the Sky Resonance Court became extremely useful.

Previously, Chen Fei had considered whether exchanging so many low-grade Primordial Crystals at his current realm might appear somewhat conspicuous.

But now, at the later stages of the Sun Moon Realm and having become the first champion of the Age Tower, there seemed to be nothing more conspicuous than that.

Moreover, exchanging some low-grade Primordial Crystals to prepare for the future Rule Integration Realm was actually quite normal.

Lu Shuzhang agreed to Chen Fei’s request without hesitation.

After all, back in the Glass Space, Chen Fei had essentially saved him, a favor which Lu Shuzhang still remembered.

On the seventh day of Chen Fei’s retreat, the cultivation room slightly trembled.

Chen Fei’s eyes snapped open—someone was sending a message from outside. If Chen Fei wished not to see them, he could directly block the transmission, allowing the cultivation room to return to normal.

Chen Fei rose and opened the door of the cultivation room, seeing Lu Shuzhang and a Rule Integration Realm powerhouse.

“I was delayed by an incident a few days ago, my apologies,” Lu Shuzhang said with a look of contrition upon seeing Chen Fei.

“You place too much importance on it—it is I who am troubling you.”

Chen Fei smiled and turned to Gu Qiuyan, greeting him respectfully, “I’ve seen the senior before!”

“There’s no need for such formalities! By the next time we meet, we might already be peers.” Gu Qiuyan observed Chen Fei and a smile appeared on his face.

As the leader of the Age Tower, if one cannot break through to the Rule Integration Realm, there would be very few within the human race who could.

“Senior is too kind,” said Chen Fei as he led them into the cultivation room.

The furnishings inside the cultivation room were extremely simple, but no one minded and they simply sat down on the floor.

After exchanging pleasantries for a short time, Gu Qiuyan took out an inferior-grade profound treasure and handed it to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei also took out an inferior-grade profound treasure from his sleeve, which contained three million five hundred thousand top-grade primordial stones.

Gu Qiuyan took the profound treasure handed over by Chen Fei, glanced at it briefly, and then stopped inspecting it.

Chen Fei, looking at the seven thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals in the profound treasure, couldn’t help but smile.

Simplifying the Sixth Rank Celestial Suppression required one hundred thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, and even if Chen Fei exchanged all his top-grade primordial stones, it would still be far from enough.

Thus, Chen Fei’s main purpose this time in exchanging for low-grade Primordial Crystals was just to see if there would be any changes in the panel for five thousand crystals.

In the market, the ratio for large-scale exchanges of low-grade Primordial Crystals was around five hundred to six hundred.

Lu Shuzhang originally wanted to exchange four hundred and fifty top-grade primordial stones for a low-grade Primordial Crystal, but Chen Fei declined.

There was no need to let Lu Shuzhang suffer a loss, of course, given Sky Resonance Court’s foundation and Lu Shuzhang’s identity, he wouldn’t mind this slight difference in price.

But Chen Fei also had plenty of top-grade primordial stones, so there was no need to press the price so low.

A short time later, Chen Fei escorted Lu Shuzhang and Gu Qiuyan out of the cultivation room.

“Uncle Gu, didn’t you say before coming that you wanted to talk to Chen Fei about joining our Sky Resonance Court?” After they had walked a distance, Lu Shuzhang spoke softly.

Gu Qiuyan had come with Lu Shuzhang today, naturally not just because he wasn’t sure about the seven thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

The quantity of those low-grade Primordial Crystals was valuable, but it wasn’t considered much for Sky Resonance Court.

Gu Qiuyan came to Qiankun Mansion mainly to take this opportunity to extend an olive branch to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei had demonstrated such strong talents within Qiankun Mansion that many saw his future ascension to the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm as a certainty. Many wanted to recruit Chen Fei into their forces.

However, no forces ultimately took action.

Because a prodigy like Chen Fei, being an Independent, naturally belonged to the city lord’s mansion of whichever city he was in, which was an established custom.

The city lord’s mansion of Sky Sea City didn’t invite Chen Fei, they just planned to wait for him to break through to the Rule Integration Realm before leaving Qiankun Mansion.

Recently, they just didn’t want to disturb Chen Fei’s state of mind while cultivating.

However, currently in Sky Sea City, there were two Emperor Realm powerhouses, Dao Yuefeng and Lu Chaozhong. The city lord’s mansion could invite Chen Fei, and so could Sky Resonance Court.

When the time came, both parties would lay out their conditions and let Chen Fei choose.

“I had intended to mention it, but after a few words today, I found that if it were me extending the invitation, I fear the sincerity would seem insufficient,” Gu Qiuyan shook his head.

Earlier Gu Qiuyan had specifically observed Chen Fei and found that Chen Fei had not yet reached the later peak stages of the Sun Moon Realm.

With such a level of cultivation, to become the leader of the Age Tower, Chen Fei’s talents were far stronger than rumors suggested.

Gu Qiuyan was in the early stages of the Rule Integration Realm, but as he had mentioned to Chen Fei before, it probably wouldn’t be long before he and Chen Fei could consider each other equals.

When dealing with such a prodigy, it would be more appropriate for someone with more weight within Sky Resonance Court to extend the invitation to truly reflect their sincerity.

In the cultivation room, Chen Fei took out the seven thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals from the inferior-grade profound treasure, and immediately, new prompts began appearing at the bottom of the panel.

Chen Fei had guessed that five thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals would cause the panel to change, and this guess was not wrong.

Chen Fei immersed his mental energy into the panel, and after a moment, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

It was not a reminder to purchase spatial grids; this time, the panel revealed a new function.

Spatial grids were actually very useful, and Chen Fei had long since stopped using their ordinary storage function, but they were good for storing his strongest attacks and for filtering out impurities from an item.

If another spatial grid was added, it definitely wouldn’t be considered useless, as having one more move that others couldn’t even beg for was invaluable. But for Chen Fei, he still hoped for a stronger function to appear.

And this time, a very powerful new feature appeared on the panel.

Fusion of Rules!

Just like the previous panel fusion technique, the new function involved the fusion of different rules.

The human race had Sixth-Tier Emperors, but it always lacked a seventh-tier Open Heaven Realm powerhouse.

Was it possible that to become an Open Heaven Realm powerhouse, one needed to fuse different rules together, causing a true transformation in one’s Source Point Space, and only through this could one breakthrough to the Open Heaven Realm!
