Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 959: Flesh and Blood Millstone
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Had a good harvest?”

Yu Dingshan noticed Chen Fei’s changed aura as he came out, his expression slightly shifting.

The effectiveness of the training room was undeniable; after all, with a hundred merit points a day, if it didn’t work, they wouldn’t dare charge such a price.

However, claiming that it could transform someone completely was certainly an exaggeration. The training room’s main benefit was accelerating the training process.

Yet, looking at Chen Fei now, Yu Dingshan could see that the changes were quite significant.

Chen Fei’s cultivation level hadn’t changed much, since this training room focused on understanding the techniques.

But the overall impression Chen Fei gave Yu Dingshan, with his overwhelming presence, had increased significantly compared to a month ago.

It was clear that Chen Fei’s progress in his techniques must have been tremendous over the past month.

Many people had exchanged for Emperor-level techniques, and Chen Fei was no exception. To advance the Emperor-level legacy so noticeably in just a month was indeed impressive.

“I’ve gained some insights,” Chen Fei replied with a smile and a cupped fist salute.

If he had enough merit points, Chen Fei would want to stay in the training room until he reached the Great Completion of the Desolate Thunder Night Star Sword.

By then, not only would the peak of the Sun Moon Realm be no challenge, but even breaking through the Rule Integration Realm would be easy for him.

If he couldn’t break through the Rule Integration Realm after perfecting the Emperor-level legacy, then it would be hard for anyone in the human race to reach that stage.

“There have been some issues at the human borders recently. Would you like to hear an old man’s chatter?” Yu Dingshan said with a gentle smile, looking at Chen Fei.

Yu Dingshan had been feeling somewhat restless here, mainly because the situation with the Glass Clan’s space at the border was occupying his mind, preventing him from focusing on his usual cultivation.

With several Mountain Sea Realm experts from surrounding races entering the space, they had managed to get a general understanding of the situation within.

The Glass Clan, with bodies like glass, was quite different from ordinary flesh-and-blood beings.

If you stood close to a Glass Clan member, you could even see the movement of their blood and veins through their skin.

Although the Glass Clan had its own background in the Return to Nothing Realm, it was very distant from here, with almost no interactions.

Without a Seventh Stage Open Heaven Realm expert stationed there, after understanding the situation of this shattered space, the surrounding races had increased their exploration efforts with Mountain Sea Realm experts.

Currently, there were dozens of Emperor-level experts around the Glass space. While they were involved, it hadn’t yet reached the point of open conflict.

Apart from mutual caution, the main reason was that the true treasures within the Glass space hadn’t yet been revealed.

The plane’s origin and rule crystals were beyond the reach of Mountain Sea Realm experts, so what was being brought out were mostly Sixth Stage spiritual materials.

Although Sixth Stage spiritual materials were precious, they weren’t worth risking lives for in the Emperor realm.

However, with the rules of the Glass space slightly stabilizing a few days ago, the early Sun Moon Realm experts could now enter.

How things would develop next was hard to predict, but none of the ten or so races wanted to retreat.

“The Glass space, with its rule crystals!” Chen Fei’s eyes flickered after hearing Yu Dingshan’s brief explanation.

This Glass space was like a giant treasure trove, particularly valuable for Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm practitioners.

Such an opportunity could allow a race to produce several Emperor-level experts, making it an opportunity no race could afford to miss.

The Return to Nothing Realm often saw shattered spaces appear, but their locations were always too far from the human race.

Traveling thousands of miles to participate, even if they could get some items, they might be attacked on the way back.

Moreover, those from outside the region who forced their way in without an advantage in strength were often rejected and might provoke anger, leading to being besieged.

But the Glass space this time was right at the human race’s doorstep—a great opportunity indeed.

“In about a month, the mid Sun Moon Realm should be able to enter. Do you want to go?” Yu Dingshan asked Chen Fei.

Fortune favors the bold; even without an Emperor’s call, many Mountain Sea and Sun Moon Realm experts would head straight to places like the Glass space.

The Qiankun Mansion provided a wealth of resources, and training progressed rapidly, but there were specific rules for obtaining these resources.

After all, this was merely a treasure trove for the human race, and the quality of the resources was not flawless, with high requirements for talent.

Those with slightly weaker aptitude but a strong drive for martial arts naturally had to seek other methods for continued cultivation.

Inside the Glass space, with numerous races piled together, it was a veritable meat grinder. Those with inferior strength or luck might end up as nothing but bones.

However, if one had a bit of luck, even the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm wouldn’t be an obstacle.

The plane’s origin and rule crystals could be used not only by Rule Integration Realm experts but also by Sun Moon Realm practitioners.

If a Sun Moon Realm expert obtained such items, they could choose whether to use a small portion for themselves and either keep or hand over the remainder to the human race.

Of course, if one truly acquired these items, the human race would offer irresistible incentives to buy them, ensuring that they would not be treated unfairly.

For this reason, many Sun Moon Realm experts in the Qiankun Mansion had gone without hesitation.

“I need to think about it,” Chen Fei said after some consideration, without giving a definite answer.

The Glass space held many valuable items that Chen Fei naturally desired, but he wasn’t in an urgent need at the moment.

Even though he had no merit points right now, with his high resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron, Chen Fei’s cultivation speed in the late Sun Moon Realm courtyard wouldn’t be very slow.

When Chen Fei previously mentioned reaching the peak of the Sun Moon Realm within a few years, he wasn’t joking—it was something he was likely to achieve.

The only factor Chen Fei needed to consider was how long the war between the human race and the surrounding races might be delayed.

Without the Glass treasure trove, even with significant conflicts between the human race, the Monster Clan, and the Ice Clan, a full-scale war would still take time to ignite.

However, with the appearance of the Glass space, the treasures within could greatly accelerate this process.

Especially if the human race acquired numerous treasures, the possibility of producing more Emperor-level experts could make the outbreak of war unpredictable.

It was possible that the next moment, war could engulf the entire human race.

As a member of the human race, Chen Fei would have no ability to remain aloof when that time came.

“You should consider it carefully; it’s not a safe place,” Yu Dingshan nodded.

A moment later, Chen Fei left the public area and returned to his courtyard.

After chatting casually with Feng Xiupu and others, Chen Fei discussed cultivation with Chi Shuqing and Tong Linyun for a few hours before contentedly heading to the secret chamber of the courtyard.

With his three thousand merit points depleted and having not attended classes for a month, there were no more merit points to earn.

Chen Fei’s reputation in the Qiankun Mansion made it difficult to earn merit points quickly through challenges alone.

Tasks in the Qiankun Mansion could also yield merit points, but currently, all tasks were related to the Glass space, and Chen Fei hadn’t yet decided whether to go there.

In the secret chamber, Chen Fei clenched his fists, manifesting the Eternal Night Manifestation and the Pillar Mountain behind him, filling his body with immense power.

With seventy percent of his soul unlocked, the Pillar Mountain appeared!

A ripple spread from Chen Fei, and in the next moment, he thrust the Qianyuan Sword forward.

The Eternal Night Manifestation Sword almost overlapped with Chen Fei, mimicking his movements.

The Eternal Night Sword burst forth with dazzling light, but the next moment, it vanished as Chen Fei stored it in the panel space.

Chen Fei’s expression remained unchanged as he swept the Qianyuan Sword, and the sword light was also stored in another space.

The formations in the secret chamber trembled continuously, as if they might shatter at any moment.

Chen Fei sheathed the Qianyuan Sword, and his aura began to recede.

While he hadn’t decided on the Glass space yet, there was one place he could explore: the space behind the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele.

Currently, the only way to reach that place was through the Boundless Sea’s Corpse Cliff Mountain, and as the plane’s origin was being extracted, the boundary limit would further decrease.

In a few years, even mid Sun Moon Realm experts might not be able to enter the Boundless Sea.

Therefore, Chen Fei stored two attack moves in the spatial compartment, ready to use if needed.

Early the next morning, Chen Fei restored the shattered Pillar Mountain and left the Qiankun Mansion, heading straight to the Teleportation Hall in Sky Sea City. The teleportation array to the Boundless Sea had been relocated here.

“Boundless Sea? Five hundred supreme elemental stones,” the hall’s steward said expressionlessly as he glanced at Chen Fei.

Such teleportation arrays, which left the Return to Nothing Realm for lower world planes, required a substantial amount of supreme elemental stones to activate.

Fortunately, this amount of the supreme elemental stones was no longer a significant burden for Chen Fei.

He handed over the stones and stepped onto the teleportation array.

In the next moment, the array emitted a beam of light, and Chen Fei vanished from the platform.

The steward watched the empty teleportation array, his gaze flickering slightly.

In the southwestern region of the Boundless Sea, at Thousand Rocks Mountain, a spatial passage opened on the teleportation array, and a figure slowly emerged.

The guards at the teleportation array glanced at Chen Fei but soon lost interest.

Chen Fei floated up, sensing the elemental energy of the Boundless Sea, and frowned slightly.

Stagnant, oppressive!

This was the state of spiritual energy in the Boundless Sea. While the Mountain Sea Realm experts might not feel it, for Chen Fei, who was already in the mid Sun Moon Realm, it felt like being trapped in a cramped box.

And this box seemed to be continuously shrinking, pressing Chen Fei further.

Chen Fei shook his head and broke through the space directly, vanishing from his location.

The space in the Return to Nothing Realm was incredibly solid—so much so that even Sun Moon Realm and Rule Integration Realm experts could not break it.

In contrast, the space in the Boundless Sea was much more fragile, allowing Chen Fei to travel more easily.

In less than a few minutes, Chen Fei crossed several hundred thousand miles, moving from Thousand Rocks Mountain to Corpse Cliff Mountain.
