Chapter 536: More and More Mysterious

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei didn’t know who that person from the Mountain Sea Realm was just now.

In the Thousand Feathers Alliance, there are currently two individuals who are considered part of the Mountain Sea Realm. As for Master Haiyue, who is active in the vicinity of the Thousand Feathers Alliance, he does not belong to the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

These three individuals, Chen Fei has never seen any of them, so he naturally cannot make any judgments.

Within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, except for a few who have seen the Alliance Leader, many others, even those in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, do not know what the Alliance Leader of the Thousand Feathers

Alliance looks like.

They only hear the name but haven’t seen the person.

In mid-air, Chen Fei lowered his head and looked at the Qianyuan Sword in his hand. It was close, and the Qianyuan Sword was about to reach the critical point of becoming a middle-grade magic treasure.

Chen Fei felt a bit regretful in his heart, mainly because he didn’t expect that the Mountain Sea Realm would have no interest in the shattered spiritual treasures, but instead had ideas about this nearly obliterated Fourth-Tier Evil.

It should be that someone at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm deliberately returned to the Thousand Feathers Alliance to convey this information, which attracted the arrival of the Mountain Sea Realm’s strong.

Although it was somewhat regrettable, Chen Fei didn’t feel dissatisfied at all.

The current quality of the Qianyuan Sword is among the top in the middle-grade magic treasures. In the future, when the right opportunity arises, there is a great possibility of it breaking through to become a high-grade magic treasure.

For Chen Fei, the Qianyuan Sword will provide powerful assistance in the foreseeable future.

In just under an hour, he obtained such significant benefits. Chen Fei had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

What’s more, within the spatial grid at this moment, there is still a damaged spiritual treasure waiting for Chen Fei to study it thoroughly.

With the top-tier techniques completely sealed off, whether Chen Fei can see the path of the Mountain Sea Realm in advance depends on this spiritual treasure.

His figure flickered, and after spending several hours, Chen Fei crossed a vast distance.

Along the way, Chen Fei deliberately made a stop, wanting to check on the Ruan family. After all, they were acquaintances, and he wouldn’t be returning to this area anytime soon.

However, after searching around, Chen Fei found that the Ruan family had already moved away from their original city, and no one knew where they had gone.

It seemed like they were just passing through each other in life, even though it had only been a few years since their last meeting.

Arriving near Immortal Cloud City, Chen Fei noticed that there were quite a few people gathered around the passage.

One by one, Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators were queuing up to enter the passage. It wasn’t because the passage couldn’t accommodate the power of several Combined Aperture Tempering realm individuals – even the Mountain Sea Realm expert from earlier had passed through effortlessly. A few Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators wouldn’t overwhelm the passage at all.

The reason for this long queue was that right in front of the passage, there were over a dozen peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators who were closely watching everyone passing through.

To return to the Boundless Sea, one could either go through the passage or fly northward where another sea existed. Some records in this region pointed in the direction of the Boundless Sea.

However, no one knew how long they needed to fly or whether simply flying continuously would lead them to the Boundless Sea.

Even if they arrived, they had no idea if it would be the Thousand Feathers Alliance or some other place.

With the missing shattered spiritual treasure, these peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators had no choice but to investigate using the slowest method possible. If they couldn’t find it at the passage, the matter wouldn’t end there, and they would continue to search discreetly in the future.

For these peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, their usual cultivation wasn’t enough to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, even though their techniques contained information on how to achieve it.

However, it remained mere information. Over the years, no one in their sects had taken that step.

That shattered spiritual treasure was their hope for a breakthrough, even though they didn’t know how big that hope truly was. Nevertheless, it was better than having no hope at all.

Chen Fei stood in the crowd, gradually moving forward step by step.

He wasn’t in a hurry. After waiting for nearly an hour, Chen Fei reached the front of the passage.

Jiang Xiuming from the Tiandao Sect glanced at Chen Fei, waved his hand, and allowed him to pass. The other peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators nodded in agreement.

When Chen Fei was near the Imperial City earlier, he had been following Jiang Xiuming, and the others had seen him. Given their close proximity, they hadn’t noticed anything unusual, so there was nothing to investigate.

Chen Fei clasped his hands together in gratitude towards Jiang Xiuming and stepped into the passage.

A moment later, Chen Fei flew out of the passage, sensing the dense elemental energy around him. The circulation of his inner energy had improved significantly.

Compared to Immortal Cloud City, the advantage of elemental energy in the Boundless Sea was much greater. To advance further on the martial path, one had to come to the Boundless Sea, and Chen Fei understood this.

Without delay, Chen Fei continued flying towards the direction of the Sea Peak City.

During the journey, everything was calm and peaceful, with no notable incidents. Chen Fei even made a detour to the peculiar place he had encountered before, hoping to come across the mysterious creature once again.

That evil force was generally weaker, but its speed and agility were extraordinary. Back when Chen Fei had just broken through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, he couldn’t catch up no matter how hard he tried.

But times had changed, and if he encountered that evil creature again, and it tried to flee, Chen Fei would be more than willing to see it through.

Before nightfall, Chen Fei finally returned to the Sea Peak City. He activated the communicating jade on his waist to inform Qin Haishan and the others of his return. Then, he landed directly within the Primordial Sword Sect.

Chen Pel’s safe return relieved the Sect Master, Qu Qingsheng, and the others.

The news of the appearance of the shattered spiritual treasure had already spread throughout the Thousand Feathers Alliance, and naturally, Qu Qingsheng and his group were aware of it.

Most of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators within the Thousand Feathers Alliance had gone to investigate, including those in the middle and later stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and even peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators from the top factions.

While Chen Fei’s current strength was enough to dominate the entire Sea Peak City, there was still a considerable gap when compared to these experts.

Naturally, Qu Qingsheng was worried that Chen Fei might encounter danger, and unfortunately, if such danger arose, they wouldn’t be able to provide any assistance.

“This is Spiritual Resonance.” Chen Fei looked at Qu Qingsheng and the others, a smile on his face as he took Spiritual Resonance out of his Qiankun bag.

“Spiritual Resonance!”

Qu Qingsheng and the others stared at the radiant orb Chen Fei had taken out, curiosity filling their expressions.

The surrounding elemental energy in the environment started to ripple slightly as Spiritual Resonance appeared, emanating a soothing fragrance that made people involuntarily relax.

For the vast majority of martial artists, Spiritual Resonance was an extremely rare and extraordinary sight that they might not encounter in their entire lifetimes.

In contrast, true spiritual treasures were seen by many within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, such as the Enlightenment Tower and Master Haiyue’s abode.

“Spiritual Resonance greatly benefits martial cultivation, but your cultivation levels are still low. I will refine it into pills and distribute them to you,” Chen Fei said in a low voice.

“No, Spiritual Resonance is precious. You should consume it yourself,” Qu Qingsheng shook his head, and the other elders agreed.

Chen Fei was now the towering tree of the entire Primordial Sword Sect. The stronger Chen Fei became, the better the Primordial Sword Sect would be.

Since Chen Fei’s breakthrough to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and the relocation of the Primordial Sword Sect to the Sea Peak City, the sect had been rapidly developing. In just a few years, the sect had produced as many as five newly promoted Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

Compared to the time when they were in Immortal Cloud City, the increase in the number of newly promoted Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators now would have taken the Primordial Sword Sect nearly twenty years or even longer to achieve.

The difference was stark.

The Primordial Sword Sect’s reputation in the Sea Peak City had attracted numerous extraordinarily talented individuals who were eager to join the sect. The Primordial Sword Sect’s future prospects looked promising.

However, all of this was contingent on Chen Fei’s presence.

“I still have Spiritual Resonance, so there’s no need to worry about me,” Chen Fei said with a smile.

Su Minghua and the other two were fortunate enough to each receive a portion of Spiritual Resonance, but now they all belonged to Chen Fei.

Therefore, Chen Fei currently possessed four portions of Spiritual Resonance, including the original one.

With the possession of spiritual treasures, the value of Spiritual Resonance had actually decreased for Chen Fei. However, he didn’t want to reveal all of it by refining it into pills, as it could easily raise suspicions among others.

Since the shattered spiritual treasure hadn’t been found, those top factions would not give up easily.

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, Qu Qingsheng and the others exchanged glances and nodded.

“Prepare some spiritual materials. Five days from now, I will refine the pills,” Chen Fei handed over a jade slip with the names of some spiritual materials inscribed on it to Qu Qingsheng.

After a while, Qu Qingsheng and the others left, and Chui Ruqing appeared, gently knocking on the courtyard door.

A quarter of an hour later, the elemental energy vibrated, causing the peaks to undulate, creating a visually pleasing and tranquil scene.

The intermittent, melodious humming sound was like a light song, rising and falling, twisting and turning, and it took quite some time before it settled into stillness.

Chen Fei, dressed in a green robe, entered the courtyard, raised his head to look at the bright moon, and then took out a portion of Spiritual Resonance from his Qiankun bag.

Subtle ripples emanated from Spiritual Resonance, and after thinking for a moment, Chen Fei infused it into the Qianyuan Sword.

Chen Fei was somewhat concerned that Spiritual Resonance might be contaminated after clashing with the mysterious creature for hundreds of years. Since the Qianyuan Sword was not susceptible to contamination, he naturally chose to experiment with it.

The Qianyuan Sword trembled slightly, and compared to absorbing the Black Stone, Spiritual Resonance, being a spiritual treasure, was absorbed by the Qianyuan Sword much more smoothly.

Everything fell into place, and there were no disruptive vibrations of spirituality. The Qianyuan Sword absorbed Spiritual Resonance completely, increasing its overall spirituality.

Chen Fei’s right hand passed over his brow, and with the Heavenly Eye, he scrutinized the situation within the Qianyuan Sword meticulously. There was no sign of contamination.

Setting the Qianyuan Sword aside, Chen Fei once again took out another portion of Spiritual Resonance and swallowed it directly.

It melted upon entering his mouth. Spiritual Resonance was essentially a unique form of elemental energy. In an instant, Chen Fei felt his body becoming hot, and his consciousness became incredibly sharp.

It was like a moment of enlightenment, but purer than enlightenment, with a touch of profoundness that was difficult to put into words, passing through his mind.

Regarding the Three Lives Slicing Shadow Sword, which he hadn’t fully comprehended, some insights flowed through his mind. At the same time, some previously unclear aspects of the martial technique related to the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm in his cultivation method now had a slightly different interpretation.

An hour later, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, and his entire being was remarkably calm.

Spiritual Resonance was powerful, but a single portion of it clearly didn’t reveal the path to the Mountain Sea Realm. However, it did provide Chen Fei with a better understanding of the path to peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Chen Fei chose not to consume the remaining three portions of Spiritual Resonance. With a flicker of his figure, he entered a hidden chamber.

All the formations were activated, and Chen Fei’s gaze fell upon the spiritual treasure within the spatial grid..
