Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 1022: Chapter 993: Mystical Treasures

The Divine Power of creating soldiers from beans was originally intended for distraction, and then to coordinate in combat with the master.

If it lost the power of the master, even over a hundred warriors could only pose a limited threat to adversaries of the same rank.

Now that Chen Fei had acquired this technique, even a single warrior he controlled was a significant threat to his peers, and adding a few more warriors meant domination ensued.

Paired with the Indestructible Vision and the God-slaying Sword, the effect produced was incredibly explosive.

Chen Fei circulated his essence force, and fifteen more warriors appeared, merging into his body.

Chen Fei’s momentum began to rise, stopping only when it reached a certain point.

Chen Fei felt a barrier that prevented him from advancing further.

After carefully sensing the condition of his body, he realized that mere integration with a few more warriors would hardly suffice to break through this barrier.

“Is it the barrier of the Rule Integration Realm? Or is it the rule body?”

A thought flashed through Chen Fei’s mind, but regardless of which it was, breaking through it currently posed a considerable challenge for him.

To form a rule body, not only was control over rule particles necessary, but substantial time was also required to allow the particles to permeate his essence, energy, spirit, and soul and get them accustomed to their presence.

This was a subtle and gradual process. Normally, for other peak practitioners of the Sun Moon Realm, controlling rule particles from divine powers to forming a rule body would take upwards of ten years, if not decades.

And this was with one’s own cultivation methods fully understood to their limits, which could accelerate the penetration of rule particles into the essence, energy, spirit, and soul.

However, Chen Fei did not need so long because he was simultaneously controlling the rule particles of three Divine Powers, having merged them into one.

Under these circumstances, Chen Fei could form his rule body within a year.

Once that happened, nothing would stand in Chen Fei’s way when breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm; to say it would be straightforward is no exaggeration.

In fact, Chen Fei’s breakthrough might even come sooner.

That would be by cultivating the Fifth Rank Celestial Suppression to the stage of Great Completion and directly forming the rule body then.

The skill level of Fifth Rank Celestial Suppression was astonishingly high, especially from Perfection to Great Completion, but now Chen Fei could freely use the cultivation room, so no matter how advanced the skill level, he was confident in mastering it within a year.

Chen Fei released the power of the internal warriors, and his aura returned to normal.

Chen Fei left the cultivation room, planning to exchange all his accumulated merit points.

No need for pills that enhance cultivation; the merit points provided daily by the Age Tower are precisely for use in the cultivation room, the remaining points were unnecessary to keep.

What’s more, the Qianyuan Sword and Concealment Bell were still upper-grade Celestial Treasures, no longer matching Chen Fei’s current realm. He decided to exchange for some precious treasures to enhance these two Celestial Treasures first.

Before heading to the treasury, Chen Fei went back to his courtyard first.

With Chen Fei’s current battle strength, to swap for a better courtyard, he could directly challenge the top contender of the Sun Moon Realm at the Sky Sea branch; the courtyard could be switched instantly.

However, Chen Fei himself did not need to cultivate in a courtyard, while Qu Qingsheng and the others already benefited from enhancements far exceeding their current realm needs offered by their courtyard.

Even if they moved to a better courtyard, it would not accelerate their cultivation progress any further.

Thus, naturally, Chen Fei had no interest in changing courtyards.

“Master, you’ve broken through!”

In the courtyard, seeing the aura emanating from Feng Xiupu, a smile couldn’t help but appear in Chen Fei’s eyes.

He remembered how upon his initial entry into the Primordial Sword Sect, Feng Xiupu was only at the peak of Visceral Tempering Realm. Later, Chen Fei learned that it was due to an injury that had caused his fall from the Aperture Tempering Realm.

Subsequently, Chen Fei found an Origin Awakening Pill, helping Feng Xiupu heal his internal injuries and restore his cultivation back to the Aperture Tempering Realm.

Latter, in the Endless Sea, Qu Qingsheng took the lead to break through to the Combined Aperture Realm, and, with the aid of a spiritual material Chen Fei provided, Feng Xiupu and others also advanced to the Combined Aperture Realm.

In terms of timing, Feng Xiupu broke through the Combined Aperture Realm just slightly later than Qu Qingsheng.

“With such an environment, if one still cannot break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, then it would be appropriate to quite cultivating altogether,” Feng Xiupu said with a shake of his head and a smile.

In an exceptional paradise like Qiankun Mansion, many practitioners of the Sun Moon Realm could only stay for half a year before having to leave. Thanks to Chen Fei, they could cultivate to their heart’s content here with various precious treasures available to aid them.

These Tier-3 or Tier-4 precious treasures, while not highly valuable to Chen Fei, were extremely precious to them.

One could only say, Chen Fei joining the Primordial Sword Sect was a tremendous fortune for them.

Leaving other things aside, without Chen Fei, Elder Zhou Zixun would have long died of old age; not like now, attempting to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Among the people Chen Fei brought to Qiankun Mansion, beside Qu Qingsheng and Feng Xiupu, Tong Linyun had also advanced to the Mountain Sea Realm, while others had reached the Combined Aperture Realm or even its pinnacle.

With the right opportunity, they could break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Even Chi Defeng, whose martial arts path seemed utterly hopeless, a friend who had followed Chen Fei all the way from Pingyin County, had reached the Combined Aperture Realm, with a chance at longevity.

The lower one’s realm, the faster one advances in the cultivation-friendly environments like the Nothing Realm and Qiankun Mansion.

Chen Fei discussed cultivation insights with Chi Yuqing and Tong Linyun for several hours before finally leaving the courtyard.

Arriving in front of the Qiankun Treasure Depository, as soon as Chen Fei crossed the threshold, Jiang Chengji’s figure had already appeared ahead.

“You’ve broken through to the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm? Very good, very good!”

Jiang Chengji looked at Chen Fei’s profound aura, and a smile appeared on his face.

With such a foundation, breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm is just around the corner!

“I’ve seen my senior!” Chen Fei bowed with his hands clasped together.

“What are you here for today, wanting to exchange for what?” Jiang Chengji stroked his beard and asked.

“My Celestial Treasure is currently only of upper-grade, and I would like to elevate it to the ultimate-grade Celestial Treasure. If there’s a possibility of it becoming a Dao Artifact in the future, that would be even better!”

As he spoke, Chen Fei took out the Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell.

The Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell had not been upgraded to upper-grade Celestial Treasures long ago.

Jiang Chengji glanced at the Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell and frowned slightly. In Jiang Chengji’s eyes, the refinement of these two Celestial Treasures was rather crude.

Being able to reach the current level of upper-grade Celestial Treasure was partly due to the contribution of sixth-tier spiritual materials, but more so due to the accumulation of spiritual essence.

“Wanting a Celestial Treasure to become a Dao Artifact isn’t much simpler than breaking from the Sun Moon Realm to the Rule Integration Realm. The foundation of these two Celestial Treasures is too weak; refining them into ultimate-grade Celestial Treasures might be the best you can hope for,” Jiang Chengji shook his head and said.

“Even if I use sixth-tier spiritual materials for tempering in the future, it won’t work?” Chen Fei was slightly taken aback.

He had specifically used the sixth-tier low-grade spiritual material, Dragon Tooth Gold, thinking that he had cast a solid foundation for the Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell.

“If you use top-grade materials from the sixth tier, there might be a decent chance,” Jiang Chengji thought for a moment, also somewhat uncertain.

After all, in the Rule Integration Realm, no one has ever used top-grade sixth-tier spiritual materials to forge a low-grade Dao Artifact. The level of forging would have to be incredibly poor to waste top-grade sixth-tier materials to such an extent.

Top-grade sixth-tier spiritual materials?

Chen Fei’s brow furrowed. Currently, he only had some low-grade sixth-tier spiritual materials, which was already the limit considering his current realm.

“Dao Artifacts, just like the Rule Integration Realm, contain rules, and thus ordinary materials cannot bear the power of rules,” Jiang Chengji explained.

Sixth-tier spiritual materials could forge Dao Artifacts because they naturally embody certain rules.

One can imagine the rarity of sixth-tier spiritual materials.

Just like Primordial Crystals, there aren’t many places within the human race’s domain that can stably produce sixth-tier spiritual materials.

Especially for low, mid, and top-grade sixth-tier materials.

As for supreme sixth-tier materials, they are virtually non-existent within the human race’s realms.

The Imperial Sovereign’s supreme Dao Artifacts of the human race either rely on their own rules, constantly nurturing the initial top-grade Dao Artifacts,

or they are inherited from deceased Imperial Sovereigns, and whether they are suitable for use is hard to say.

The last option is to venture outside the human race’s realms, where there’s a chance to obtain supreme sixth-tier spiritual materials.

But even after obtaining supreme sixth-tier spiritual materials, whether an ultimate-grade Dao Artifact can be forged is completely uncertain.

Ultimate-grade Dao Artifacts, although not as exaggerated as the Emperor Realm, are indeed very rare.

“Then let’s refine them into ultimate-grade Celestial Treasures first.” Forget about Dao Artifacts for now, consider it after breaking through to the Rule Integration Realm.

“I am not skilled in the refinement of Celestial Treasures; if you trust me, I can introduce someone to refine them, aiming to maximally enhance the foundation of these two Celestial Treasures.”

Jiang Chengji could see that Chen Fei valued these two Celestial Treasures highly.

Jiang Chengji could refine Celestial Treasures, but to say there remained hope for them to break through to become Dao Artifacts was a bit too difficult for Jiang Chengji.

“If the senior is willing to introduce, I would be very grateful!” Chen Fei clasped his hands in thanks.

Jiang Chengji gave a slight smile, waved his hand, and the two disappeared from their original spot, reappearing outside the courtyard of the head of the Qiankun Mansion.

“Old Jiang, you actually have time to visit me today, that’s quite rare!” A laughing voice came from the courtyard, followed by a figure who came out, first nodding to Jiang Chengji and then turning to Chen Fei.

“The new top of the Age Tower, Chen Fei?” Xie Wenjie looked at Chen Fei, a smile emerging on his face.

Chen Fei’s reputation was well known by nearly all in the Rule Integration Realm. After all, such a prodigy was rare even in the long history of the human race.

“I’ve seen my senior!” Chen Fei bowed with his hands clasped together.

Three hours later, the brand-new Qianyuan Sword and Concealment Bell floated in front of Chen Fei.

Chen Fei invested all of the remaining tens of thousands of merit points into the Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell.

According to Xie Wenjie, this was the first time he had refined Celestial Treasures with such dedication, and the last time he had done so was thousands of years ago.

Tens of thousands of merit points, a large amount of fifth-tier supreme materials, and even some sixth-tier materials purchased from Xie Wenjie with merit points were used to finally replenish the foundation of the Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell.

It couldn’t be said for certain that the Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell would definitely evolve into Dao Artifacts, but at least, some hope was preserved.

As Chen Fei finished refining the ultimate-grade Celestial Treasures, in the territories of the human race, the Glass Space began to collapse violently.
