Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 939: Ruler Level
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei removed the cork, revealing six Returning Origin Pills inside the jade bottle.

To put it into perspective, each Returning Origin Pill is worth fifty achievement points and can normally save years of arduous cultivation in the early stages of the Sun Moon Realm.

In the past twenty days or so at the Qiankun Mansion, there were enough achievement points to buy one Returning Origin Pill. It can be said that the Qiankun Mansion almost gave these pills to the students for free.

The specific effects of a pill can vary slightly depending on the practitioner’s level in the Sun Moon Realm.

The greatest difference lies in the individual’s cultivation technique, which affects how well the pill’s effects are utilized.

Chen Fei’s original Thunder Roar Stellar Technique had reached perfection, and now, with the introduction of the Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword, though his proficiency was only at the introductory level, the foundation was still there.

Thus, if Chen Fei absorbed a Returning Origin Pill, he could almost fully utilize its effects.

Chen Fei swallowed one Returning Origin Pill, which dissolved instantly, and its powerful medicinal energy rapidly spread throughout his body.

Chen Fei’s body absorbed all the energy from the Returning Origin Pill without any leakage. The new technique, Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword, began to wildly absorb the energy to strengthen his source point.

The formations in the courtyard trembled slightly, automatically adjusting the required attributes of the heaven and earth spiritual energy based on Chen Fei’s fluctuating aura, allowing him to better refine and utilize the energy.

Additionally, the resonance between Chen Fei and the Qiankun Mansion gathered spiritual intelligence, making every thought in his soul clear and controlled.

Hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Fei’s fluctuating aura began to stabilize.

When Chen Fei opened his eyes, the training room seemed to flash with thunder, and a faint thunderous humming could be heard.

“At this rate, about fifteen Returning Origin Pills should be enough to elevate my source point to the critical point.”

Chen Fei sensed the state of his source point, and it was better than expected.

Exchanging for another nine Returning Origin Pills, costing four hundred and fifty achievement points, would be sufficient.

Chen Fei didn’t have enough achievement points at the moment, but there were many ways to earn them in the Qiankun Mansion. Besides attending classes, completing tasks issued by the mansion could also earn points.

If he wasn’t in a hurry, attending classes for half a year would naturally accumulate the necessary points.

Of course, for efficiency, betting battles were the most straightforward.

However, given Chen Fei’s previous performance in the martial arts arena, no practitioner at the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm would accept a betting battle with him.

As for those at the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, it would be quite challenging since Chen Fei’s displayed combat power had already been enough to pose a threat to most mid-stage practitioners.

If Chen Fei wanted to challenge someone, he would have to go up against the more formidable mid-stage Sun Moon Realm experts.

“Successfully challenging the top thirty mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners in the branch for higher achievements would not only reward achievement points but also potentially allow the acquisition of their courtyards.”

Normally, courtyards are allocated every six months, which coincides with the major elimination period.

However, if one is willing to challenge beyond their rank, they are not bound by this time restriction and can challenge at any time.

Different realms of courtyards have different effects, with mid-stage Sun Moon Realm courtyards being more effective in absorbing spiritual energy. Additionally, the achievement points earned from daily classes would be higher.

So far, no one in this batch had managed to achieve such a feat.

Challenging beyond one’s rank is inherently difficult, and challenging the top thirty of a branch’s mid-stage Sun Moon Realm is an extraordinarily tough task.

Yet, despite the immense difficulty, past records in the Qiankun Mansion show that some mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners have achieved such accomplishments over multiple batches.

All of them, without exception, eventually reached at least the mid-stage of the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm.

Moreover, some even became Human Emperors later on.

Therefore, if one could achieve such a rank breakthrough, it would indicate even greater potential than the current seed candidates of the Rule Integration Realm.

Chen Fei assessed his current strength and realized that his chances of success in a challenge were still low. He was clearly in a period of rapid advancement.

After fully digesting the resources exchanged from the treasure vault this time, the next challenge would be much easier.

Chen Fei chose not to take another Returning Origin Pill but instead went to attend his classes.

Classes provided achievement points. Although the daily amount was limited, it was still necessary to earn them.

Moreover, classes were taught by powerful practitioners of the Rule Integration Realm, who imparted practical cultivation tips and techniques.

They also provided guidance on how to handle special situations encountered outside the human borders.

Sometimes, when these Rule Integration Realm experts were in high spirits, they would occasionally discuss fragments of rules related to Rule Integration cultivation.

Although this involved the Rule Integration Realm, exposure to these concepts during the Sun Moon Realm stage was still beneficial.

In essence, the divine abilities of the Sun Moon Realm could be seen as more fragmented manifestations of these rules.

Classes, taking Returning Origin Pills, and improving the proficiency of techniques such as the Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword, Qiankun Technique, and the Divine Power Seed Indestructible Vision were all part of the cultivation routine.

Chen Fei’s daily schedule was meticulously organized. Every moment was dedicated to either cultivation or preparing for it.

The results were evident. In just five days, Chen Fei consumed all the Returning Origin Pills, which significantly boosted his source points.

With stronger source points, his ability to harness spiritual energy increased. Over these five days, Chen Fei’s strength showed noticeable improvement.

After finishing the Returning Origin Pills, Chen Fei took out the Jade Dew Wood and consumed it.

Jade Dew Wood was far more valuable than Returning Origin Pills, though its effects were not significantly superior.

This wasn’t due to the Jade Dew Wood being overrated, but because all spiritual materials that enhance comprehension of divine abilities were equally expensive.

Nevertheless, having exchanged nine hundred achievement points for it, the effects were still substantial. Chen Fei spent an entire day and night in cultivation, even missing that day’s classes.

Ultimately, his proficiency with the Divine Power Seed, Indestructible Vision, soared from thirty percent to ninety percent at the proficient level.

Moreover, a small portion of the Jade Dew Wood’s medicinal power remained in his body, continuing to be effective during his subsequent cultivation.

Given the trends and the advantages of the Qiankun Mansion and courtyard, Chen Fei anticipated reaching full mastery of the Indestructible Vision Divine Power Seed within half a month.

At that point, his power would undoubtedly see further enhancement.

Ten days passed swiftly. While Chen Fei advanced the Indestructible Vision ability towards perfection, the Qiankun Mansion entered its first rest month.

During this month, no Rule Integration Realm experts would be teaching at the Qiankun Mansion.

Students were expected to use this time to consolidate and integrate what they had learned into their own techniques.

After the rest month, there would be less than two months until the first major elimination. At that time, a large number of Sun Moon Realm practitioners would leave the Qiankun Mansion.

During the rest month, the Qiankun Mansion issued many tasks, mostly along the human borders.

The Qiankun Mansion did not cultivate delicate flowers in a greenhouse; in the harsh environment of the Return to Nothing Realm, every practitioner needed to learn to fight.

With the worsening relations between humans, the Ice Race, and the Evil Race, news of the Qiankun Mansion’s opening inevitably reached these two races.

Thus, human Sun Moon Realm practitioners on the borders faced greater dangers, including potential ambushes by the Ice Race or Evil Race.

The principle behind the tasks issued by the Qiankun Mansion was to eliminate alien races and ensure survival.

The achievement points awarded for these tasks were far greater than usual.

“Chen, we’ve got a patrol mission at the border of Mountain Bridge City. Do you want to join us?”

In the courtyard, Jia Hongwen extended a warm invitation.

Since Chen Fei had asked for directions that day and Jia Hongwen took him to Hua Zhicun, the two had become more familiar with each other.

“Sorry, I have some ideas to solidify in my training and won’t be able to join this time,” Chen Fei said after considering it.

The border patrol task offered a good reward—one hundred achievement points for six days.

Compared to the points earned from classes, it was several times higher.

Of course, there was inherent danger, so it was a matter of personal choice.

Chen Fei earned achievement points to enhance his cultivation. Since he was in a period of rapid advancement, he naturally had no need to go on patrol just for the sake of points.

“Brother Chen, your talent truly is extraordinary; you have gained new insights,” Jia Hongwen remarked, not upset by Chen Fei’s refusal. Instead, he felt genuine admiration for Chen Fei’s ability to gain new insights despite his current level of strength.

Half an hour later, Jia Hongwen left, and Chen Fei returned to his cultivation room to continue improving his techniques and divine abilities.

Three days later, in the courtyard’s cultivation room, Chen Fei closed his eyes slightly as a beam of light circulated rapidly around his body, eventually completely enveloping his face.

“Buzz!”

A ripple spread from within Chen Fei, and as he opened his eyes, a force field descended into the cultivation room.

The ripple, unable to reach the walls, was forcibly controlled by this force field and then gathered in front of Chen Fei.

With the Divine Power Seed Indestructible Vision reaching perfection, Chen Fei’s control over power became increasingly refined, and the spread of the force field significantly increased in strength.

It wasn’t a domain, but it was even better than a domain.

Chen Fei slowly clenched his fists, sensing the changes in his body.

Compared to his previous performance in the martial arts arena, Chen Fei’s strength had increased by about twenty percent.

Although it seemed like a small increase, given the original base, this enhancement was quite significant.

To give a more intuitive comparison, Chen Fei used to be able to handle four early-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners from different branches simultaneously.

Now, with the twenty percent increase in strength, he could handle six.

In the early stages of the Sun Moon Realm, this was already a dominating level of power.

In a different scenario, not in the martial arts arena but in the wild, even if ten opponents came at him, they wouldn’t be able to kill Chen Fei.

With enough patience, Chen Fei would have the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

The Divine Power Seed Indestructible Vision was incredibly powerful, or rather, it had lived up to Chen Fei’s effort in refining fourteen talents to achieve this Divine Power Seed.
