Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 846: A Lunatic

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The price hadn’t dropped; it was still 6,000 high-grade elemental stones.

Chen Fei’s joy from just harvesting was quickly replaced by a sinking feeling as the high-grade elemental stones in his pocket dwindled.

Chen Fei had intended to wait some time before buying the Myriad Bamboo again.

However, he had worried that the Sacred Land might suddenly decide to continue buying large quantities of spiritual materials.

Then Chen Fei would have had money but wouldn’t have known where to buy Myriad Bamboo.

After hesitating for a moment, he had decided to make the purchase directly.

Although expensive, money could be earned again. Once things were out of stock, it was really difficult to find another source.

He couldn’t have just gone to Gotham and robbed them.

If he had really done such a thing, Chen Fei estimated that he would have been killed on the spot by the Sun Moon Realm before he had had a chance to escape.

After visiting several small shops, he finally had bought eighteen pieces of Myriad Bamboo, leaving some high-grade elemental stones on him for backup.

Burning all eighteen pieces of Myriad Bamboo could have elevated the talent of Thunderstorm to the level of mastery.

It could have enhanced Chen Fei’s strength, but it couldn’t have helped him break through to the later stage of the Mountain Sea Realm.

A day later, inside the secluded chamber of the Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei frowned as he looked at the eighteen Myriad Clones on the ground.

“That altar, the energy accumulation is too slow!”

After finally excavating one of Baka’s abilities, but without this pure spiritual essence, this business couldn’t continue.

Using impure spiritual essences for pill refinement would turn them into poison pills directly after upgrading.

“As for that Black Divine, I wonder what the situation is now.”

Chen Fei stroked his chin, contemplating whether to prevent or prolong the Black Divine’s breakthrough to the Fifth-Tier; if given the opportunity, he would definitely act.

Because more time left for Chen Fei to advance.

Although Chen Fei didn’t know how the Sun Moon Realm and the Black Divine’s battle went in recent days, the Black Divine must not be comfortable either.

After all, previously the Black Divine had been hiding and not appearing, obviously aiming to restore to the Fifth-Tier in one go and then dominate the entire Boundless Sea.

“If I can continue to find things like altars or cryptic city steles, perhaps I can still force the Black Divine to appear.”

This collision of auras, if it were the Black Divine at his peak, could easily be concealed.

But now, with the Black Divine only at the Fourth-Tier, it was not a matter of whether he was prepared but whether he could conceal it.

Several well-known dangerous places and rumored locations of extraterrestrial objects flashed through Chen Fei’s mind on the Middle Continent.

Ten days later, Chen Fei appeared in front of a mountain range on Middle Continent.

This was the Fallen Leaves Mountain, where the famous Fallen Leaves Palace, once boasting three peak Mountain Sea Realm experts in its heyday, stood.

During its prime, the Fallen Leaves Palace nearly achieved the status of a Sacred Land, seeming only a step away from the pinnacle.

However, in the end, the Fallen Leaves Palace did not succeed, and its entire legacy had been completely severed a thousand years ago.

Only a few minor sects had occasionally obtained some remnants of the Fallen Leaves Palace’s heritage, but that was all.

Ten days ago, Chen Fei had specifically searched through ancient records and then began searching everywhere for places that might harbor extraterrestrial objects.

These places might bring Chen Fei some unexpected surprises.

However, after ten days of searching, while Chen Fei did notice some places with slight anomalies, it was unfortunate that they had all been completely destroyed.

Today, coming to Fallen Leaves Mountain, it wasn’t because there was anything extraterrestrial here, but because Chen Fei had accepted a missing person mission at the Mission Hall.

There was a senior elder of a sect, at the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, who hadn’t returned to the Holy City for several months. Moreover, the soul card left in the sect had developed a crack.

No one knew whether this meant he had passed away or something else had happened.

The sect had sought out his close friends, only to find that one of them had recently been severely injured and was unable to search for him. Thus, they had no choice but to issue the task through the Mission Hall.

If Chen Fei could safely bring the person back, he would be rewarded with 20,000 high-grade elemental stones and additional gratitude.

If the mission proved impossible and he could only bring back news, he would still receive 10,000 high-grade elemental stones.

For the sake of their senior elder, this sect was willing to stake nearly everything they had.

Unable to find any extraterrestrial objects, Chen Fei recalled this mission and hurried to this place.

A faint glow emanated from Chen Fei’s brow as he scanned his surroundings.

An hour later, Chen Fei appeared by a lake.

The water of the lake was clear and blue, gently swaying the reeds along the shore. In the middle of the lake, there was a small island adorned with blooming flowers, and both sides of the lake were lined with pebbles.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, landing on the surface of the lake. A ripple spread out from under his feet, dispersing his reflection in the water.

In the next moment, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth violently fluctuated. The lake surface ceased its ripples and instead became as smooth as a mirror before shattering.

Chen Fei found himself in a vastly different environment.

The lake had been a formation, and Chen Fei had stepped on a node of the formation, directly transporting himself here.

The formation’s power was formidable. Without knowing the nodes, those below the later stages of the Mountain Sea Realm might be forcibly trapped.

“Phew!”

As Chen Fei surveyed his surroundings, a gust of wind whistled from afar. Chen Fei turned to see two figures swiftly fleeing, with a white light closely chasing after them.

It seemed that the disturbance caused by Chen Fei’s entry into the formation had been detected, prompting the two figures to swiftly fly towards him.

Chen Fei’s eyes flickered. The two individuals looked quite disheveled, both in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, but visibly injured to varying degrees.

Ripples appeared in Chen Fei’s palm as he retrieved the Black Divine pattern from the spatial grid, causing the Dream Web to tremble and resonate with the area ahead.

The Qianyuan Sword trembled slightly and landed in Chen Fei’s hand.

Fused with Void Wood, the Qianyuan Sword had reached the level of a high-grade spiritual treasure.

Despite being a relatively ordinary high-grade spiritual treasure, its power had increased significantly compared to before.

“Friend ahead, can we join forces to drive away the creature behind us?” Rong Huachang shouted loudly.

“We did not intend to lure this monster here. After driving it away, we can apologize properly, alright?” came the soft voice of Gong Lianfen.

With eyes as smooth as silk, Gong Lianfen wore a fine silk robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns, its folds pristine, subtly revealing her graceful figure.

A white jade pendant hung around Gong Lianfen’s neck, occasionally emitting a faint glow that made it tempting to gaze upon.

Chen Fei remained silent, pulling out the Qianyuan Sword. His gaze shifted past the two individuals, focusing on what lay behind them.

Even from dozens of miles away, Chen Fei could sense the fierce aura emanating from the Metal Tiger.

Seeing Chen Fei’s lack of response, Rong Huachang glanced at Gong Lianfen. They adjusted their flight path slightly.

For the Mountain Sea Realm, dozens of miles were nothing more than a blink of an eye, and indeed, it wouldn’t take much time.

In just a moment, Rong Huachang and Gong Lianfen were only a few miles away from Chen Fei.

The Dream Web trembled slightly, resonating with the Black Divine’s aura emanating from only one person among them.

“Clang!”

With a sword cry, Chen Fei vanished from his original position and reappeared in front of Rong Huachang.

Purple light emanated from the hilt of the Qjanyuan Sword, swiftly enveloping its entire blade. In the next instant, the Qjanyuan Sword thrust forward, thunder resounding through the heavens and earth.

“What is the meaning of this, sir? If you are unwilling to cooperate, there’s no need for this!”

Rong Huachang’s expression darkened as he shouted sharply, his figure flickering in an attempt to evade Chen Fei’s attack.

However, as fast as Rong Huachang dodged, Chen Fei’s sword was faster. The purple light shimmered, and the Qianyuan Sword was already in front of Rong Huachang.

Rong Huachang’s face changed, and a folding fan appeared in his hand. As he flipped the fan, his figure vanished completely, even the fan itself seeming to fade away, as if it might disappear in the next moment.

“Boom!”

The elegant folding fan suddenly paused, its elemental power directly dispersed. Rong Huachang emerged from behind the fan, his face pale, involuntarily stepping back.

Chen Fei took a step forward, the blade of his sword grazing Rong Huachang’s neck.

Rong Huachang looked at Chen Fei in disbelief. He hadn’t expected that the other would directly attempt to kill him without hesitation.

What’s more crucial is that both were in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, yet the opponent’s strength appeared significantly superior.

The first sword broke through defenses, the second aimed at the neck.

“Ah!”

Gong Lianfen screamed in shock, fleeing madly into the distance. This person was insane. He didn’t say a word, just went straight for the kill!

“Hum!”

Instantly, the sky was covered with dense dark clouds, followed by countless thunderbolts striking within a mile radius.

Gong Lianfen abruptly halted, not making any other moves. Chen Fei’s sword then pressed against her back.

Gong Lianfen froze, turning to look at Chen Fei, not daring to move.

“Take a good look.”

Chen Fei gestured towards Rong Huachang’s location. Gong Lianfen instinctively turned her head and widened her eyes slightly. Faint black shadows flickered over Rong Huachang’s body.

It was the aura of the Black Divine. Anyone who had been to the Ethereal Lake or crossed into the Black Divine Barrier wouldn’t mistake it.

Normally, the aura wouldn’t be so pronounced for those who had allied with the Black Divine and died. However, Chen Fei intentionally used the Black Divine pattern to resonate with the opponent.

Rong Huachang was already dead, unable to control the Black Divine pattern, hence his aura was conspicuously revealed.

Chen Fei glanced at Gong Lianfen and retrieved the Qjanyuan Sword.

“Human, what are you doing? Their lives and deaths should be decided by me, not you!”

A harsh voice rang out like clashing metal and iron. Not far away, the Metal Tiger roared loudly, its fierce aura rushing towards Chen Fei.

In the late fourth stage, it was no wonder Gong Lianfen and Rong Huachang had fled. They were no match for the Metal Tiger at all.

A glint flashed in Chen Fei’s brow, and he lifted the Qianyuan Sword. The Metal Tiger appeared in front of Chen Fei at some point, its claw striking down on the Qianyuan Sword.

“Block!”

The Qjanyuan Sword trembled, immense power surging into Chen Fei’s body, only to be forcefully assimilated by him.

The Metal Tiger looked at the unharmed human under its claw, astonishment flickering in its eyes. In the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, Chen Fei shouldn’t have been able to withstand its power.

Just like with Rong Huachang and the others, during this period, it had treated them as easy prey, effortlessly crushing any attempts at resistance.

The Metal Tiger instinctively tried to increase its strength, but was met with an even stronger force that caused its body to involuntarily recoil.

With the Seven Star Illumination Technique, two illusory Divine Palaces manifested within Chen Fei’s body. In the next moment, the Qianyuan Sword flipped and struck down on the Metal Tiger.

“Boom!”

The Metal Tiger’s body violently trembled, roaring in agony, but its roar was quickly dispersed.

As light shimmered, the Metal Tiger vanished, replaced by a blade appearing under the Qianyuan Sword.

This Metal Tiger had transformed from a spiritual treasure.

Spiritual treasures possessed intelligence and could speak human language without any issue. Normally, they communicated by resonating their spiritual essence with the heavens and earth, conveying their intentions to people, or by involving them in illusions or formations.

However, this blade was rather unique. It spoke literally from its mouth.

There was a mouth on the handle of the blade, even two eyes, glaring fiercely at Chen Fei in this moment.
