Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

A Divine Power that creates soldiers from beans had elevated Chen Fei from just entering the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm to surpassing half the cultivation of that stage.

Chen Fei continuously operated the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword, stabilizing the surge of power.

Had the understanding of the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword not been high enough, such power would have been uncontrollable, possibly even becoming a significant flaw for Chen Fei.

Basic Realm mastery and martial arts understanding are always the safeguards for a cultivator’s battle strength.

“Clang!”

Chen Fei raised his right hand, and the Qianyuan Sword emitted a melodious sword cry, settling in the palm of Chen Fei.

Recorded within the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword was a forbidden technique, Godslayer!

Exhausting all to counterattack in desperate straits, a god encountered would be slain.

At this moment, as Chen Fei operated this forbidden technique, an illusory flame ignited on the surface of his body. Chen Fei’s aura seemed to break through some kind of restriction, reaching new heights.

Celestial Suppression bound the power within his physique. Chen Fei took a step forward and thrust out the Qianyuan Sword.

A glaring light shone before the Qianyuan Sword, and just as it appeared, Chen Fei absorbed it into a spatial grid.

Even so, the entire cultivation room’s formations violently trembled, as if they would shatter in the next moment.

Chen Fei’s aura plummeted, Indestructible Vision unable to maintain Chen Fei’s peak state, indicating the severity of his current condition.

Chen Fei, sensing that sword light within the spatial grid, revealed a trace of a smile and began to close his eyes to heal his internal injuries.

In three days, Chen Fei’s injuries completely recovered, showing no signs of aftereffects from using the forbidden technique.

A Rule Crystal appeared in Chen Fei’s hand, which he slightly squeezed, causing it to shatter.

The cultivation was far from over; Chen Fei aimed to elevate his Cultivation Realm further, ideally converting all the gains from the battle into his own strength.

Rich epiphanies enveloped the cultivation room, and insights continuously emerged in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness.

In but a blink of an eye, Chen Fei had fully immersed himself in cultivation, undistracted by anything else.

Because Chen Fei used the shattering of ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals as a price, and also absorbed the vital energy of heaven and earth from the void, the commotion of his breakthrough to the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm did not spread outside the cultivation room.

No one in Jiguang City knew that Chen Fei had broken through to the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, and Chen Fei himself had no intention of letting others find out.

Now, with both external and internal enemies, and with Chen Fei himself being in a precarious position, keeping enough strength without letting others know was a means of self-preservation.

Celestial Suppression, a Yuan Clan martial art, could perfectly conceal Chen Fei’s aura, making other cultivators mistake him for still being in the early stages of the Rule Integration Realm.

Even at the Peak of Rule Integration Realm, one couldn’t deduce Chen Fei’s true Cultivation Realm through simple observation.

Two months passed in a flash, and after using all the Rule Crystals, Chen Fei continued to cultivate in seclusion in Jiguang Mountain by shattering low-grade Primordial Crystals.

With an ample amount of low-grade Primordial Crystals in his possession, after much consideration, Chen Fei increased the daily number of Rule Crystals he shattered from two thousand to three thousand.

Consuming an extra thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals a day only increased the effect by about ten percent, which was extremely cost-ineffective.

Originally, shattering two thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals for a day’s cultivation was equivalent to cultivating for three days.

Now, as his insight improved, shattering three thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals for a day’s cultivation amounted to cultivating for four days.

Overall, the effect was still remarkably evident, but the improvement was partly due to the increased insight, and the consumption of low-grade Primordial Crystals was indeed high.

With the current amount of low-grade Primordial Crystals, Chen Fei estimated he could continue this method of cultivation for just over two years.

He could increase the number of shattered low-grade Primordial Crystals further, but Chen Fei was somewhat reluctant.

To cultivate for a day to equal five days would require Chen Fei to shatter six thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals a day, a cost too great. His stockpile of low-grade Primordial Crystals could not withstand such expenditure.

Two months of focused cultivation, particularly with the aid of Rule Crystals, had brought astounding progress for Chen Fei.

The proficiency of the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword, previously nearing seventy percent within the Perfection stage, had now broken through to the stage of Perfection and was around twenty percent into that stage.

The Perfection-stage Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword changed the way Chen Fei saw the world, with power becoming increasingly pliable and effortlessly wielded in his hands.

Besides the breakthrough to the stage of Perfection with the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword, the number of fragments of rules within the soul increased from thirty-nine to forty-five.

And most importantly, Sixth-Tier Celestial Suppression, despite becoming more difficult to cultivate towards the later stages, couldn’t stand against the overwhelming epiphany from the Rule Crystals.

Although Celestial Suppression had not yet entered Perfection, the number of Power Rule Fragments in Chen Fei’s body directly reached thirty-one.

If after his initial breakthrough to the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm, Chen Fei was uncertain whether his physique could compare to the Emperor Realm, now he was sure.

His physique had reached the strength of the Emperor Realm, overwhelmingly surpassing any late-stage Rule Integration Realm physique.

Of course, the strength of Emperor Realm powerhouses diverse across several levels, as those who master a single secondary rule and those who master several secondary rules differ greatly in strength, correspondingly affecting the robustness of their physique.

For a mid-stage Rule Integration Realm to take an Emperor Realm as an imagined enemy is somewhat insane.

Chen Fei was not thinking of challenging an Emperor Realm with his current level of cultivation,, but if pushed to an extreme situation, where he actually faced a chase to the death by an Emperor Realm powerhouse.

At the very least, with his current physique, Chen Fei had a considerable chance of escaping with his life from the hands of an Emperor Realm powerhouse.

Chen Fei had no intention of leaving his retreat, not until he had exhausted all of the low-grade Primordial Crystals in his hands and transformed them into his own strength; otherwise, these low-grade Primordial Crystals would be a tremendous waste just sitting there.

While Chen Fei wanted to continue cultivating, reality threw him an unexpected curveball.

Outside Jiguang City, the Ice Race and Evil Clans unexpectedly began to withdraw their troops.

Not just from outside Jiguang City, but also from the other four cities previously besieged by the armies of the Ice Race and Evil Clans, all began to pull back.

The conflict between the human race and the Ice Race and Evil Clans was at a point of irreconcilable death strife. The withdrawal of the Ice Race and Evil Clans was not due to a belief that they could not outlast the human race but because something even more significant had occurred.

The human race and about a dozen other Races now resided in this area called the Black Stone Domain, which, within the entirety of the Return to Nothing Realm, was considered a remote corner.

Within the Return to Nothing Realm, there are many territories like the Black Stone Domain, all inhabited by ordinary Races such as the human race.

If a Race has an Open Heaven Realm powerhouse, they might not be confined to moving towards the central areas of the Return to Nothing Realm, but the final outcome of such a move is hard to say.

In the Return to Nothing Realm, every region has established Races in occupation, and any sudden migration could be seen as an encroachment on another Race’s interests, easily leading to disputes.

To avoid disputes, one must either invade unclaimed lands or possess strength intimidating enough that other Races fear to wage a costly war.

There is one last scenario: if your strength far surpasses that of any Race in the region, no disputes would arise because resistance would lead to annihilation.

Now, a Race had arrived in the Black Stone Domain: the Wu Meng Clan was their name.

The strongest in the clan was a mid-stage seventh-level Open Heaven Realm who reportedly suffered some injuries, and the Wu Meng Clan did not conceal this fact.

Besides the mid-stage seventh-level Open Heaven Realm, the clan also had a newly advanced early-stage seventh-level Open Heaven Realm powerhouse.

With such might, they virtually reigned supreme over the Black Stone Domain.

The warfare between the human race and the Ice Race and Evil Clans seemed almost trivial before the Wu Meng Clan, and it was likely that the battle could not continue.

After the Wu Meng Clan’s arrival, the newly advanced early-stage seventh-level Open Heaven Realm powerhouse of the Wu Meng Clan went directly to the Evil Clans’ border to challenge the ancestral Open Heaven Realm of the Evil Clans.

The battle did not commence, for the Wu Meng Clan’s newly advanced Open Heaven Realm merely glanced at the Evil Clan ancestor before departing.

It wasn’t because the Evil Clan’s Open Heaven Realm ancestor was injured, but in the eyes of the Wu Meng Clan’s Open Heaven Realm cultivator, this ancestor of the Evil Clans wasn’t truly a rightful Open Heaven Realm cultivator.

Instead, they barely touched the shores of the Open Heaven Realm with the help of a precious treasure and a shortcut.

They would never progress further in their realm, and whether they could be considered an Open Heaven Realm powerhouse was somewhat ambiguous.

Against such an Open Heaven Realm cultivator, and one who was also injured at that, the Wu Meng Clan’s member did not even bother fighting.

This news, however it had been considered by the Wu Meng Clan, spread instantly throughout the Black Stone Domain, and the clout of the Evil Clans plummeted in an instant.

Simultaneously, the surrounding dozen Races finally understood why the Evil Clans’ ancestor had been critically injured by the human race’s Qiankun Cauldron; aside from pre-existing injuries and the undeniable strength of the Qiankun Cauldron itself, the actual cultivation realm of the Evil Clans’ ancestor was a significant factor.

Upon arriving in the Black Stone Domain, the Wu Meng Clan immediately occupied its central region, and the original occupying Race, not daring to utter a word, vacated en masse.

At the same time, the Wu Meng Clan announced their dominion over the Black Stone Domain, decreeing that within ten days, every Rule Integration Realm member from all Races within the Black Stone Domain must make their way to the present territory of the Wu Meng Clan.

Chen Fei, upon hearing Qin Yunfang’s words, was shocked; he had not expected that just two months of retreating would lead to such developments in the Black Stone Domain.

“Rumor has it that the Wu Meng Clan came here after losing a conflict with another Race, forcing their retreat to our Black Stone Domain,” Qin Yunfang said, frowning.

The Races of the entire Black Stone Domain were somewhat at a loss, unable to confront such a powerful Race; even if they pooled their resources, they wouldn’t match up to the Wu Meng Clan.

And if the Wu Meng Clan had been forced to retreat to the Black Stone Domain after a defeat, it begged the question of how powerful the conquering Race must be.

The Wu Meng Clan made no secret of the reasons for their retreat to the Black Stone Domain.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Wu Meng Clan, regardless of how the original Races of the Black Stone Domain might feel, the decrees they intended to impose were beyond challenge.

“When do we set out?” There was still some distance to the central region of the Black Stone Domain from the current borders of the human race.

“Tomorrow, Rule Integration Realms from the other four cities within our Race will converge in Jiguang City, and then we’ll head out together,” Qin Yunfang muttered.

The Wu Meng Clan, in extracting all of the Rule Integration Realms from the Black Stone Domain, paid no heed as to whether such a policy would expose the remaining Races’ cities to danger.

In the Black Stone Domain, their commands were as absolute as the sky.
