Chapter 350: Blood Touch

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A smile crossed Chen Feis face as there was finally some movement. Fie had been genuinely concerned because Sword Return Tower had only recorded the Primordial techniques on paper and hadnt used an inheritance monument.

If it were just simple words on paper, the Sword Guiding Art would certainly not elicit any response. It was likely that Sword Return Tower had not antic.i.p.ated the existence of the Sword Guiding Art, such a unique art.

Furthermore, they couldnt have foreseen that an aperture tempering realm cultivator could move so stealthily within their sect. After all, aperture tempering realm cultivators had a certain level of mutual perception within a certain distance, and their body techniques were fast, making them hard to move without creating noise.

However, both of these issues were resolved by Chen Feis Slaughter Spirit Technique and Wind Gathering Technique.

Moreover, Sword Return Towers entire gate formation didnt trigger any warnings about Chen Feis presence within, mainly because he had already infiltrated. This was one of the reasons why Chen Fei had disguised himself as an ordinary disciple and hidden within.

Any relatively large sect would be cautious about protecting its gate. At the very least, there would be a response if someone approached the gate area, as formations would be designed to sense intruders.

Sword Return Tower had an aperture tempering realm late-stage expert overseeing the gate formation, but such formations typically focused on external threats and didnt monitor internal movements. This was a common characteristic of most formations.

Major sects would only deploy formations at key locations to protect crucial areas. In the end, if someone managed to infiltrate, those formations would safeguard important places.

Following the guidance of the Sword Guiding Art, Chen Fei arrived at a lakeside. Under the moonlight, the lakes surface rippled gently, exuding a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere that made ones heart feel at ease.

Surprisingly, Sword Return Tower had hidden its sects inheritance directly beneath this lakes depths.

Chen Fei moved swiftly, leaping directly into the lake. The water splashed for a moment and then returned to calm.

The lakes water was crystal clear, and occasionally, fish swam by. When they saw Chen Fei, they hurriedly avoided him in fear. Chen Fei smiled faintly, and with a sudden burst of speed, he shot towards the muddy bottom of the lake like an arrow.

At this point, the Sword Guiding Arts guidance had reached its strongest intensity.

Chen Fei was in no hurry. He gathered a hint of sword aura in his hand and began carefully digging into the mud at the bottom of the lake. The mud quickly gave way to sand and rocks, but under Chen Feis sword qi, they crumbled like tofu. After digging several dozen meters deep into the lakebed, Chen Feis hand suddenly paused, and his core soul energy sent a warning signal. There was a formation blocking his path.

He hadnt reached the edge of the formation yet; it was just the formations inherent sensing field. As long as there were fluctuations of spiritual or martial energy within this sensing field, the formation would alert others.

This was somewhat similar to the formation at Long Rainbow Sect, with the difference being that Long Rainbow Sects formation was unguarded and no one paid attention to it. However, the situation was different at Sword Return Tower. If Chen Fei were detected by the formation, it would be like stirring up a hornets nest, and the two Aperture tempering realm late-stage experts on Sword Return Towers main peak would rush here at astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

Even if Chen Feis shadow clone was destroyed, it wouldnt result in any significant loss. However, alerting Sword Return Tower and making them vigilant would be a costly mistake.

Chen Feis figure retreated slightly and then shot upwards. The lakes mud covered everything below, erasing all traces. At this moment, Chen Fei had already emerged on the surface of the lake, standing with both feet on the waters surface, his reflection visible on the lakes calm surface.

He raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, his figure s.h.i.+mmered for a moment, dispersing into countless specks of light carried away by the wind.

Chen Fei opened his eyes on the bed where the outer disciples of the Sword Return Tower lived. Considering the sensations from the Sword Guiding Art, there should be more than just the Great Thunder Sword technique among Sword Return Towers Primordial techniques.

This was a tremendous discovery, and if he could retrieve these techniques, Chen Fei wouldnt have to worry about finding new techniques for a while.

The current problem was how to sneak into the location of the techniques at the bottom of the lake without alerting the Sword Return Tower. Going from an outer disciple all the way to the authentic disciples who could openly enter the location of the techniques was absolutely impossible.

Apart from Chen Fei not wanting to spend so much time staying at the Sword Return Tower, just the scrutiny of Sword Return Towers authentic disciples would be extremely strict.

Chen Feis simple purchased ident.i.ty wouldnt withstand Sword Return Towers probing, let alone the possibility of Sword Return Towers authentic disciples conducting mental inspections, similar to what Primordial Sword Sect did.

This type of inspection required opening ones mental state, and Chen Fei couldnt afford to open his mental state to allow Sword Return Towers spiritual tools to freely search within.

Chen Feis mental power was strong, but not strong enough to ignore the inspection of these spiritual tools. He also couldnt create enough illusions to deceive the spiritual tools; that required a different and powerful type of mental technique that Chen Fei didnt possess.

The conventional methods wouldnt work, so Chen Fei had to take an unconventional approach, such as breaking through the formation directly and entering the location of the techniques.

Using brute force to break through would likely alert the Tower, and the techniques might not be ready for him to take. He would face the collective attack of Sword Return Towers aperture tempering realm experts. Chen Fei could handle the other aperture tempering realm experts, but dealing with those two late-stage aperture tempering realm experts would be a daunting task.

Blood Origin Technique!

Chen Fei produced the jade scroll of the Blood Origin Technique. Having briefly reviewed it before, he had discovered a particularly clever technique within it, which allowed him to manipulate the formations of others for his own benefit.

The key was that it was silent and wouldnt raise any alarm.

Chen Fei didnt intend to convert all the formations in the Sword Return

Towers location of the techniques for his use. He only needed to manipulate a portion of them to allow himself to sneak in smoothly.

After a stick of incense had burned, Chen Fei put away the jade slip and looked at the interface.

[Technique: Blood Origin Technique Blood Touch (Not Initiated)]

Have you discovered the technique? Do you want to spend three elemental stones to simplify the Blood Origin Technique Blood Touch?

Blood Origin Technique Blood Touch simplification in progress

Simplification successful Blood Origin Technique Blood Touch * Bloodflow!

Without fully learning the Blood Origin Technique, it was almost impossible to grasp the techniques within it. Many techniques were like this. After all, techniques were extensions and applications of a cultivation. If you hadnt learned the cultivation itself, it would be difficult to understand the extensions and applications.

You could try to figure it out through painstaking practice, day after day, using a roundabout way to achieve similar results. The interface, on the other hand, skipped the roundabout process and provided the results of practice directly. This was the astonis.h.i.+ngly powerful function of the interface.

The Slaughter Spirit Technique was like this, and now, the Blood Touch technique of the Blood Origin Technique was as well. Even earlier, the Astonis.h.i.+ng Symbol Art of the Great Thunder Sword was the same.

On the bed, Chen Fei cut open his left arm, allowing fresh blood to flow out. In mid-air, he drew an arc with it, and then the blood continued to flow into Chen Feis arm.

For Chen Fei, who possessed the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, this simple blood control was not much of a challenge.

As Chen Fei bled, insights about the Blood Touch technique of the Blood Origin Technique continuously appeared in his mind, and for a moment, he was completely absorbed in them.

Fortunately, Chen Feis mental power was already strong, and it didnt affect his control over the blood flowing from his arm.

As for the other two Sword Return Tower disciples in the same room, Chen Fei had forced them into sleep with his mental power. Without Chen Feis permission, they wouldnt wake up and wouldnt see anything they shouldnt.

Time pa.s.sed gradually, and the proficiency of the Blood Touch technique continued to rise. Chen Fei couldnt help but applaud the ingenious ideas within the Blood Origin Technique.

The person who created the Blood Origin Technique was truly a genius. Although it was unconventional and somewhat extreme, the Blood Origin Technique was indeed a powerful martial art.

Chen Fei suspected that there might be complementary techniques within the Blood Origin Technique specifically designed to counteract its drawbacks. However, unfortunately, these complementary techniques had either disappeared with time or were lost in history.

Perhaps some remnants still existed in certain places, or perhaps they had indeed vanished without a trace.

One night pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Chen Fei regained control of his arm and woke up the two others in the room.

The disciple in charge of transmitting techniques appeared outside the room. Chen Fei stood among the crowd, listening to the disciple explain the cultivation.

Sword Reading Scroll!

The entry-level cultivation method of the Sword Return Tower. It wasnt particularly fast in acc.u.mulating energy, but it excelled in balance and harmony. It had three layers in total, and if one could cultivate it to the third layer, the speed of cultivation would increase significantly.

According to what the managing disciple said, if one could cultivate to the third level of the Sword Reading Scroll within three years, regardless of their cultivation level, they could directly become an inner disciple of the Sword Returning Tower.

Upon becoming an inner disciple, more powerful cultivation techniques would be bestowed upon them.

The outer disciples were filled with enthusiasm upon hearing this. As soon as the disciple in charge left, they couldnt wait to return to their rooms and begin practicing, hoping to expedite their cultivation of the technique.

Chen Fei watched his roommates, their eager expressions reminding him of his own past.

It was challenging for anyone dedicated to cultivation to resist the temptation of prestigious cultivation techniques. Back in Pingyin County, Chen Fei had struggled to find a decent cultivation technique.

It was only after joining the Primordial Sword Sect that Chen Fei truly possessed high-level cultivation, and his strength had skyrocketed since then.

After some consideration, Chen Fei left the room and found an empty one to stay in. He couldnt predict what would happen with the Sword Return Tower next, and he didnt want to potentially involve his roommates. He had no grudges or grievances with them, and he didnt want to drag others into his affairs.

The two occupants of the previous room looked at Chen Feis departing figure with some confusion, but they quickly refocused on diligently practicing the Nian Sword Formula. For them, this was the most important task.

While the outer disciples were engrossed in practicing the Sword Reading Scroll, Chen Fei continued to refine his proficiency in the Blood Touch technique.

Days pa.s.sed by in a blur, and before he knew it, ten days had already gone by.

Under the night sky, Chen Fei once again arrived at the lakeside. The moonlight still shone brightly as Chen Fei transformed into a shadow and submerged into the lakes waters, reaching the lake bottom.

Sword energy swirled around, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Fei stood in front of the formation. With his elemental power supporting the water behind him, Chen Fei opened a wound on his arm, allowing the blood to turn into a mist that gradually enveloped the formation in front of him..
