Chapter 799: Ten Thousand Mile Teleportation

Normally, Chen Fei should be accumulating some contribution points at this moment, either continuing to exchange for top-tier martial arts techniques or attempting to further enhance the Purple Sky Stellar Sword.

Alternatively, he could accumulate to one hundred minor contributions and exchange them for a partial sect’s martial art from the Sacred Lands.

However, looking at the changes within the Black Divine Barrier now, to be honest, Chen Fei was genuinely worried about when the barrier might suddenly mutate.

If it really came to that, there’s a significant chance that any contribution points not yet exchanged will become worthless.

After all, the purpose of the Mission Hall here was to eradicate the Black Divine Barrier.

If the barrier mutates, the Mission Hall might disappear, and then Chen Fei would face a major problem with his unexchanged contribution points and where to redeem his rewards.

This Mission Hall was jointly established by several Sacred Lands. If you took your contribution points to exchange at a certain Sacred Land, they might not necessarily acknowledge it.

It’s better to secure what’s in hand; everything else is just hypothetical.

Returning to the secret chamber, Chen Fei took out everything from Xiao Qiping’s group’s spiritual treasures.

While sorting through the items, he pondered the matter of the barrier’s nodes.

He has already figured out how to make the barrier’s nodes appear abnormal during his recent experiments.

The progress efficiency has been much smoother than Chen Fei imagined, largely thanks to the enhancements the Black Divine Barrier provided him. Especially after slaying Xiao Qiping and his group, the enhancement from the barrier had noticeably undergone a qualitative change for Chen Fei.

If previously the Black Divine Barrier merely facilitated Chen Fei’s absorption and comprehension of martial arts, now it treated him almost like a half­monster.

However, while the method was there, Chen Fei could not accomplish it alone; he needed the help of others to manipulate the nodes together and completely trigger the abnormal transformation of the Black Divine Barrier’s nodes.

Therefore, Chen Fei came out, waiting for Zhao Ruizheng and the other two to exit seclusion tomorrow.

According to Chen Fei’s estimation, with the assistance of Zhao Ruizheng’s trio, the issue with the nodes can be resolved.

Among the spiritual treasures of Xiao Qiping’s group, like most Mountain Sea Realm treasures, there were high-grade elemental stones, medicinal pills, and a small amount of Fourth-Tier spiritual materials.

As for martial arts techniques, Chen Fei examined them and found almost none worth integrating, except for Jing Chaodong’s Water Source Heaven Unraveling Technique, which intrigued him somewhat.

Previously, when Jing Chaodong shifted near Chen Fei in his water source form, it had impressed Chen Fei to some extent.

In a way, this was somewhat similar to Teleportationing.

However, upon examining the Water Source Heaven Unraveling Technique inheritance, Chen Fei realized that the Water Source Shapeshifting it entailed had significant limitations, far from the unrestricted nature of Talent Shapeshifting.

Just as Chen Fei was about to set aside the Water Source Heaven Unraveling Technique, his arm suddenly paused.

Shapeshifting with the Water Source?

In Chen Fei’s mind, he suddenly recalled various top forces and Sacred Lands’ Grand Relocation Array.

For disciples of these forces, if all else failed, there was still a way out: using barriers to relocate themselves back to their sects.

Unless trapped by other barriers, this retreat was almost akin to a second lease on life.

Chen Fei naturally felt some envy towards this, but it was the foundation of other forces, and even if he envied it, there was no way to obtain it.

However, this Water Source Heaven Unraveling Technique now gave Chen Fei a different idea.

What if he integrated the Water Source Heaven Unraveling Technique into the Bloodline Origin Shadow Technique, a technique that split the body? By using the shapeshifting ability of the Water Source with the main body as a tag, could he later use Teleportation to serve as a teleportation link?

If so, would it be possible for the split body to be in the Thousand Geese City while Chen Fei himself might be anywhere in a faraway place? Could he move back to the Thousand Geese City?

Chen Fei lightly tapped the ground with his right hand. Theoretically, there shouldn’t be any issues.

However, what needed consideration was that teleporting over such a long distance may exert tremendous pressure on the body.

Teleportation occurs within a spatial layer where, due to short distances, utilizing the innate talent was instantaneous and didn’t impose significant strain.

But now, stretching this distance to thousands of miles or beyond means relying solely on Teleportation may not provide sufficient protection.

The pressure from the spatial layer will inevitably transmit to the body.

“With my current physical defenses, it shouldn’t be a major problem, and it’s not true void; the pressure from the spatial layer also has its limits.”

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered. Once the technique is refined, conducting multiple experiments will help determine the maximum teleportation distance.

After seriously studying the Water Source Heaven Unraveling Technique for two hours, Chen Fei raised his head. His confidence in his hypothesis grew stronger.

“New technique discovered, Water Source Heaven Unraveling Technique!” “Integration!”

“New technique discovered, Water Source Shapeshifting Technique!” “Simplify!”

“Water Source Shapeshifting Technique simplified… Simplification successful… Water Source Shapeshifting Technique -> Bloodline Origin Shadow Technique!”

Feeling the final characteristics of the new technique, a smile spread across Chen Fei’s face. With this, he had gained another fallback plan for himself.

If he ever encountered an enemy he couldn’t defend against, even if he was beaten to a pulp, instead of relying on blood regeneration, he could directly teleport his flesh and blood to his clone’s location.

After all, being beaten to a pulp usually meant even if he could regenerate on the spot, he would likely be beaten to a pulp again.

Moreover, compared to other top forces using barriers for major relocations, Chen Fei’s use of techniques not only promised faster speed but also greater concealment.

The fluctuations from an barrier and those from a technique were completely different frequencies.

When the time came, it would be best if Chen Fei’s clone remained stationed within the sect and didn’t travel casually elsewhere.

That wasn’t much of an issue, considering that with Chen Fei’s main body breaking through to the later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm, the clone in the early stages of the realm could no longer offer much assistance in terms of combat power.

Even when using the Conjoined Body Technique to help bear the pressure for the main body, due to the clone’s own strength, it couldn’t provide the same 20% damage reduction limit as before.

This was why some techniques pale in comparison to innate talents. Talents provide continuous enhancements based on your current abilities, whereas techniques can only push up to their own limits and become ineffective beyond that.

The Water Source Heaven Unraveling Technique left Chen Fei quite satisfied after this inventory check.

As for the exact increase in high-grade elemental stones, Chen Fei didn’t pay much attention to that.

After storing everything into the Qianyuan Sword, Chen Fei began simultaneously practicing with both the Purple Sky Stellar Sword and the Bloodline Origin Shadow Technique, their insights merging in his mind.

When integrating the Water Source Heaven Unraveling Technique, Chen Fei focused primarily on mastering the Water Source Shapeshifting, resulting in the proficiency of the new technique, Bloodline Origin Shadow Technique, only slightly decreasing to just over half of perfect mastery.

Under normal training conditions, Chen Fei could achieve mastery of this technique to its full extent within a year.

With assistance from the Black Divine Barrier, he estimated it wouldn’t take more than ten days to reach complete mastery.

Comparing the two methods, it was clear that the true realm of the Black Divine was truly terrifying.

To him, a Fourth-Tier technique was like child’s play.

Or perhaps, it was like how Chen Fei now regarded techniques of the Aperture Tempering realm—there were no secrets left, as he could see through them at a glance and strengthen them with a bit of focus.

“I’ll absorb the Adamantine Body talent first, then the Water Source Shapeshifting Technique!”

Chen Fei resolved in his mind, and his clone appeared in the secret chamber, directing the elemental qi of heaven and earth to pound his body.

Instantly, insights from three techniques surged together, focusing all of Chen Fei’s attention within his sea of consciousness, leaving him no room for anything else.

The next morning, Zhao Ruizheng and his two companions had already arrived at the entrance of the mission hall, while Chen Fei was a bit late.

This immersion in the comprehension of techniques could easily lead one to become absorbed in it.

Chen Fei enjoyed this feeling himself, which was why he constantly immersed himself in practice.

After five days of recuperation and some medicinal pills exchanged from the mission hall, Zhao Ruizheng and his companions finally completely healed their spiritual injuries.

As they looked at Chen Fei approaching, Zhao Ruizheng and his companions’ expressions subtly changed.

After spending some time together and witnessing Chen Fei’s full power in killing a mid-stage Fourth-Tier monster, Zhao Ruizheng and his companions were more sensitive to Chen Fei’s changes in aura compared to others.

At this moment, they could sense that Chen Fei’s aura had significantly strengthened, yet he was still in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm, which seemed quite peculiar to them.

Because five days ago, Chen Fei had already reached the peak of the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm. Any further growth should have propelled him into the middle stages of the realm.

Seeing the unusual expressions in Zhao Ruizheng and his companions’ eyes, Chen Fei smiled faintly but didn’t explain.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Fei briefly mentioned the current changes in the Black Divine Barrier.

Initially in high spirits upon leaving seclusion, Zhao Ruizheng and his companions couldn’t help but feel a slight downturn upon hearing about the accelerating changes within the Black Divine Barrier.

What had been almost static for a month now seemed to undergo daily transformations, overwhelming to observe.

These changes indicated a growing mastery of the rules of the Boundless Sea by the Black Divine Barrier, which was clearly not a favorable development.

Nevertheless, regardless of the circumstances, the monsters still needed to be hunted.

Just as Chen Fei and the others were about to head towards the direction of the barrier, a faint glow enveloped the Mission Hall behind them. This signaled an update in missions, a significant event that only occurred with major tasks.

Chen Fei and his companions paused and turned back towards the Mission Hall. Others who hadn’t yet entered the Black Divine Barrier also converged towards the Mission Hall at this unusual occurrence.

After a moment, Chen Fei and his companions emerged from the Mission Hall.

The missions have been updated significantly, with the most prominent one being the siege of Green Acorn Lake. Moreover, the reward for killing monsters in this mission has been increased by thirty percent.

Chen Fei noticed an additional mid-grade mark on his Recognition Jade Ruler, indicating that the Tree King of the Feihuang Sect had been confirmed to appear at Green Acorn Lake by the officials of the Mission Hall.

“Why aren’t we taking this mission?” Zhao Ruizheng looked at Chen Fei with some confusion.

In most other places, scattered monsters were becoming scarce. Despite the dangers of attacking Green Acorn Lake, the pressure would be significantly reduced with more people involved.

If they still wanted to earn contribution points, this mission couldn’t be missed, especially with the increased rewards.

“Not yet. Follow me somewhere first. If it works out, it might be even better over there,” Chen Fei shook his head, leading Zhao Ruizheng and the others into the Black Divine Barrier.
