Chapter 190: Breaking Through to the Visceral Tempering Realm

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei has already been initiated as a true disciple. Should we wait for half a year or apply pressure ahead of time?

Chen Fei is not weak. Finding someone to match him in the Marrow Tempering realm is difficult, and he might not necessarily accept a challenge. Its better to wait until he breaks through to the Visceral Tempering realm and offer substantial rewards to compel him to fight.

Be prepared on both fronts. If Chen Fei doesnt break through to the Marrow Tempering realm within half a year, well find a disciple in the Marrow Tempering realm to challenge him. If he does break through, even better, as well have more options.

There were quite a few disciples in the Marrow Tempering realm who were diligently cultivating, hoping to break through to the fifth level of the Origin Connection Technique so they could challenge Chen Fei. There were also many Marrow Tempering realm disciples who could potentially break through, but they were currently suppressing their progress, keeping an eye on Chen Feis movements.

Given the rarity of the true disciple position, if you and I were in their shoes, we would make the same choice. Unfortunately, our cultivation levels far exceed theirs, and weve lost the chance to challenge. What a pity.

It is a pity indeed. However, if theres an opportunity to obtain the Aperture Breaking Pill, that would be good too. If we can step into the Aperture Tempering Realm by chance, it would also be a remarkable achievement.

On the path of martial arts, every bit is fought for. Lets hope that Junior

Brother Chen can understand our situation.

With Chen Fei becoming a true transmission disciple, it seemed there was a hidden current among the inner disciples. Meanwhile, many Marrow Tempering realm disciples had begun secluded cultivation, and numerous early Visceral Tempering realm disciples were practicing various powerful techniques.

Many disciples were perplexed by these occurrences and didnt know what was happening. But many were aware that all these disciples were fixated on that true transmission disciple position.

Disciples who had been in the sect for a while understood this phenomenon. Every time a new true transmission disciple ascended to the peak, those who hadnt succeeded in their trials were eager to try.

Only when the last true transmission disciple defeated those inner disciples would this trend subside. Or, when an exceptionally powerful inner disciple emerged and made a breakthrough.

This phenomenon has repeated within the Primordial Sword Sect for many years, and the sect encouraged it, even intentionally propelling it.

Chen Fei was blissfully unaware of the commotion outside. Either that, or he was deliberately avoiding inquiries. He was simply immersing himself in his practice, following his own rhythm.

The courtyard of the True Transmission Peak indeed possessed more spiritual energy than other places. Chen Fei could feel that each time he absorbed spiritual energy with the Receival Bead, he gained about twenty percent more.

Even without the Receival Bead, during regular practice, he could sense the inner strength within his body becoming more agile and lively, accelerating his cultivation progress.

Due to the significant increase in his mental power, Chen Fei only needed about twenty days to break through to the Visceral Tempering realm. With the change in environment, this time frame was further compressed, and he probably didnt even need twenty days.

Alchemy and internal energy cultivation kept Chen Fei busy and delighted. Of course, he hadnt forgotten about the newly acquired Zhongyuan Sword.

The Zhongyuan Sword was a technique for the Aperture Tempering Realm, but in reality, it could be practiced even in the Visceral Tempering realm, much like Spatial Travel in the Soaring Heaven Technique. In the Visceral Tempering realm, if the practice was executed well, the Zhongyuan Sword could release gravity, though not as potently as in the Aperture Tempering Realm.

To cultivate the Visceral Tempering realm portion of the Zhongyuan Sword, it required forty thousand taels. The Aperture Tempering realm portion could only be started after completing the Visceral Tempering realm portion. It was somewhat akin to cultivating the stages of the Origin Connection Technique.

The idea crossed Chen Feis mind that the Aperture Tempering Realm section couldnt be simplified. However, Chen Fei wasnt in a hurry. Since his cultivation hadnt truly reached that level yet, he planned to first perfect the Visceral Tempering realm section of the Zhongyuan Sword. The subsequent progress would naturally fall into place.

With a price of forty thousand taels for simplification, lately, with Chen Feis diligent work in alchemy, he had gradually started acc.u.mulating it. It would take at most a month for Chen Fei to ama.s.s enough money.

By the time Chen Fei just broke through to the Visceral Tempering realm, he could seamlessly proceed to cultivate the Zhongyuan Sword, ensuring no time would be wasted.

As time pa.s.sed during Chen Feis cultivation, twenty days went by in a flash.

During these twenty days, Chen Fei hadnt left the True Transmission Peak at all, devoting himself to intensive practice. Several other newly promoted true disciples were in the same state as Chen Fei.

Each one of them was adjusting to the new true transmission technique, hoping to achieve an excellent ranking in half a yearat the very least, not at the bottom.

With the spa.r.s.e light of the moon, within the courtyard of the True Transmission Peak, Chen Fei sat cross-legged in a secret chamber, repeatedly actively circulating the Origin Connection Technique.

Although his mental power had surged, allowing Chen Fei to automatically practice the technique, he found that consciously driving it could accelerate the growth of his inner strength.

Through these twenty days of intense cultivation, Chen Feis internal strength had reached a critical state. Profound inner strength surged through his meridians, causing slight tremors in his flesh as it resonated with the circulation of inner strength.

Half of Chen Feis mental focus controlled the circulation of inner strength, while the other half observed the changes within his body.

In the Marrow Tempering realm, inner strength permeates the bone marrow, bringing forth new blood and vitality. In Chen Feis bones, inner strength had long permeated, and now it flowed toward his internal organs.

Hum!

Chen Feis sea of consciousness suddenly trembled, causing his already surging inner strength to accelerate once more. Inner strength directly spread throughout his body, invigorating his internal organs with new vitality.

Visceral Tempering realm achieved!

Chen Feis eyes snapped open, a hint of joy in his gaze.

While Chen Fei knew that breaking through to the Visceral Tempering realm wouldnt hinder him and there wouldnt be any obstacles, the actual accomplishment still brought genuine happiness to him.

This was another step on the path of martial arts. Chen Fei had finally arrived at the last position of the Body Refining Realm. One more step, and he would step onto the path of cultivating the Aperture Tempering realm, the path to longevity.

Chen Fei stepped out of the secret chamber and entered the courtyard. He looked up at the clear moon in the skynever before had he seen the moon so clearly.

The breakthrough in his cultivation allowed Chen Fei to perceive the world even more distinctly. His five senses had further heightened, and a leap in his combat strength was now a natural progression.

Apart from this, Chen Feis mental power seemed to have undergone some tempering. Vaguely, Chen Fei sensed something different in his surroundings.

Is it Vital Energy?

Chen Fei muttered to himself, a bit uncertain. He attempted to manipulate the perceived sensation with his mental power, managing to barely touch it but finding it difficult to move it.

After just a moment, Chen Feis mental power began to feel weary.

Perhaps it really is Vital Energy, but without acupoints, relying solely on the mental power of the Visceral Tempering realm makes it difficult to manipulate the Vital Energy.

Chen Fei speculated in his mind. Although he couldnt directly access the Vital Energy, he was now able to perceive it, surpa.s.sing over ninety percent of those in the Visceral Tempering realm.

Chen Fei took a few steps forward, leaving a phantom image at each step that dispersed a moment later. As he moved, these phantom images continued to follow behind him.

After a moment, Chen Fei halted his steps, and the phantom images behind him vanished. The next moment, a sword light flashed through the courtyard, leaving a ma.s.sive trench on the ground and fine cracks on the courtyard walls.

Chen Fei sheathed his sword, sensing the changes in his body. Although he hadnt gone all out, he could feel that his strength had significantly increased.

With this level of cultivation, perhaps if he had ventured into the mystic realm, he might have been able to forcibly seize those three crimson fruits using his own strength.

Of course, the feasibility could only be known after a genuine attempt. But at least Chen Fei now knew that the Zhuhong fruit tree could no longer exert absolute suppression over him.

As for that peak first-order python he faced before, Chen Fei had to rely on evasive tactics back then to wound it. Now, in a direct confrontation, Chen Fei hoped to inflict heavy damage on it.

However, it could only be damage, as first-order peak demonic beasts had an incredibly strong recovery ability. To truly kill one, Chen Fei estimated that he would need to complete the Visceral Tempering realm section of the Zhongyuan Sword first.

[Realm: Visceral Tempering realm (2/1500000)]

Chen Fei glanced at the panel. The entry had changed; achieving the Visceral Tempering realm required double the experience compared to the Marrow Tempering realm. Given Chen Feis current speed of inner strength cultivation, he estimated he would complete the Visceral Tempering realm cultivation within two years.

Two years to push his cultivation to the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm was quite fast among true disciples.

Moreover, Chen Fei hadnt yet cultivated the Zhongyuan Sword. His speed would increase further after that.

The next morning, Chen Fei went to the Hall of True Transmission to report his breakthrough.

The resources allocated to true disciples every month were based not only on ranking but also on cultivation level. Previously, the Hall of True Transmission had provided Chen Fei with pills suitable for Marrow Tempering realm cultivation.

Now that Chen Fei had broken through to the Visceral Tempering realm, he would naturally need pills suitable for the Visceral Tempering realm cultivation, as continuing to use pills for the Marrow Tempering realm would significantly decrease their effectiveness.

Congratulations to Junior Brother Chen on breaking through to the Visceral Tempering realm!

A disciple congratulated Chen Fei as he sensed Chen Feis aura, offering a respectful gesture.

The disciple had examined Chen Feis information and knew he had recently entered the sect at the Bone Tempering realm. A few months ago, Chen Fei had advanced to the Marrow Tempering realm, and now he was entering the Visceral Tempering realm.

Such progress was truly astonis.h.i.+ng. Though considering the mystic realm, it made sense, though others might feel envious of Chen Feis luck.

Thank you!

Chen Fei thanked the disciple and updated his information before leaving the Hall of True Transmission.

Having stepped into the Visceral Tempering realm, Chen Fei could now start practicing the Zhongyuan Sword. The silver taels, acc.u.mulated through days of dedicated alchemy, were already prepared.

Back in his courtyard, Chen Fei sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, looking at the panel.

Discovered technique: Spend 40,000 taels to simplify the Zhongyuan Sword?

Simplifying the Zhongyuan Sword Simplification successful Zhongyuan Sword > Withstand the impact of a waterfall.

Seeing the result of the simplification, Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. It wasnt difficult to find a waterfall, but none were within the Primordial Sword Sect; he would need to go to the wilderness, and the distance was quite far.

Practicing in the wild wouldnt be too convenient.

The panel didnt specify the size of the waterfall, so a small waterfall should work.

Rubbing his chin, Chen Fei considered whether a man-made waterfall used for scenic purposes could work as well.

Thinking this, Chen Fei called over a disciple and gave them some instructions.

As Chen Fei contemplated how to practice the Zhongyuan Sword, news of his breakthrough to the Visceral Tempering realm spread throughout the Primordial Sword Sect, causing many Marrow Tempering realm disciples to regret and start preparing for their own breakthrough to the Visceral Tempering realm.

After all, Chen Feis position as the last true disciple was now in their sights.

As for the early Visceral Tempering realm disciples, they were delighted. Despite rumors of Chen Feis formidable strength, since they were also in the early Visceral Tempering realm, they didnt believe they were far inferior to him.

Even though Chen Fei had a few more months to practice the true transmission technique, achieving significant progress in just a few months was exceedingly challenging.

Could we incite Chen Fei somehow? Whether he practices the true transmission techniques or not, there will still be a difference in strength. While hes just broken through to the Visceral Tempering realm, and his strength isnt yet stable, its easier to defeat him!

Trying to force him to accept a challenge isnt easy.

Wu Familys Elemental Spirit Pool for two days? Thats something we cant provide.

Reaching the Marrow Tempering realm secures true transmission disciple status. Chen Fei is bound to be proud. Sometimes, killing doesnt necessarily require a knife and we dont need to offer enticing rewards to force someone to accept a challenge!

Understood!

Two days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. As Chen Fei was busy arranging a scenic waterfall, rumors related to him began circulating within the Primordial Sword Sect..
