Chapter 383: Banished Immortal

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation l Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

For several consecutive days, Chen Fei wholeheartedly immersed himself in the practice of the Heart Refinement Formation, even temporarily suspending the cultivation of other techniques.

After all, not practicing other techniques for a few days wouldnt have any impact on Chen Fei. If he could complete the formation diagram one day earlier and confirm its effects in the Strange Heart Realm, then Chen Feis core soul energy would make a tremendous leap.

He wondered if there were any limitations to this formation diagram or if there were any hidden drawbacks to absorbing the eerie creature source. However, all of these questions would need to be slowly confirmed by Chen Fei after he entered the Strange Heart Realm.

With hundreds of threads of core soul energy simultaneously sketching, the speed was indeed very fast. By the seventh day, Chen Fei had successfully cultivated the Heart Refinement Formation, which was comparable to a typical late-stage foundational technique inheritance.

Chen Fei had already inquired about the location of the map that Miao Qisheng had recorded over the past few days. Initially, he hadnt planned to go there.

Chen Fei had been to the Strange Heart Realm before, so he had some understanding of its rules. In reality, the more densely packed with elemental energy a place was, the more mysterious it would be, and the stronger the eerie creatures. In remote and desolate areas with few human traces, eerie creatures were rare and much weaker.

Therefore, Chen Fei didnt necessarily have to follow the location on the map. However, when he thought about Miao Qishengs deliberate recording of this map, Chen Fei ultimately decided to go to that location in the Strange Heart Realm to see if there was anything special about it.

If that place didnt have anything unique, then in the future, when Chen Fei entered the Strange Heart Realm, he could choose his own location.

Chen Fei walked out of the courtyard, just about to leave for the location on the map when he suddenly saw Chi Shuqing appear not far away.

Do you know I was coming? Chi Shuqing saw Chen Fei and swiftly arrived in front of him, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Yes, I got some Youth-Restoring Pills and wanted to inform you, Chen Fei replied.

Chen Fei pretended to reach into his sleeve, and three medicine bottles appeared in his hand from the spatial storage grid. He handed them to Chi Shuqing.

These pills were obtained from the Rain Pavilions secret treasury. Unlike ordinary Youth-Restoring Pills, they were refined from spirit plants, and their effects were much better.

Most male cultivators probably wouldnt be interested in this kind of Youth-Restoring Pill, but for female cultivators, the value of these pills was likely several times greater than other spiritual pills.

Chi Shuqing took them with some delight, opened the bottle, and looked at the Youth-Restoring Pills inside. A smile of satisfaction appeared on her face.

I have some doubts about my cultivation and would like to seek your guidance, Chi Shuqing said, casting a glance at Chen Fei. Her eyes were already filled with a layer of watery ripples, expressing deep affection. Chen Fei smiled faintly, didnt say anything, and took Chi Shuqings hand, leading her into the house.

Practicing core soul energy in the Strange Heart Realm was crucial. However, when it came to cultivation, it was important to strike a balance between work and rest, or one could easily suffer setbacks.

Chen Fei believed that he could take a brief break without any issues.

A moment later, the elemental energy around the courtyard began to oscillate rhythmically, wave after wave, like ripples on the surface of a lake, advancing layer by layer without stopping.

Like this, will the cultivation effect be better? Chi Shuqings gentle voice came.

I dont know, but we can give it a try, Chen Fei replied.

Chen Fei was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly. He formed hand seals and immediately changed his technique. The next moment, the elemental energy around surged violently, layer upon layer, like waves cras.h.i.+ng against the sh.o.r.e.

After a while, the elemental energy in all directions gradually subsided, returning to a brief calm.

However, this calm didnt last long. The elemental energy in all directions started to shake again. It was evident that this round of cultivation had not reached its true conclusion yet.

This happened repeatedly, intermittently, over the course of several hours, until the elemental energy around the courtyard finally settled down completely.

I need to go on a journey and will be away for a few days, Chen Fei said to Chi Shuqing, looking at her.

Chi Shuqing nodded with a slightly blurred consciousness. When she fully regained her senses, she found that Chen Fei had already disappeared.

Chi Shuqing sat up and looked at the three bottles of Youth-Restoring Pills on the table, a smile appearing on her face. It had nothing to do with the value of the pills; it was because Chen Fei had given them to her.

That alone was more than enough. Thats why Chi Shuqing had put in so much effort today, just to better support Chen Feis cultivation.

It seemed that only in this way could Chi Shuqing fully express her joy.

Outside the mountain gate, Chen Feis figure flickered, fuming into a blur as he sped forward.

The recent round of cultivation hadnt caused the slightest fatigue for Chen Fei. With the physique of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, he could continue practicing if he wished.

With lightning speed, after two hours, Chen Fei stopped at a cliff. Looking around, he realized that this place was no longer just remote; it was a location where ordinary people would never venture.

A ma.s.sive waterfall seemed to descend from the heavens, cras.h.i.+ng down onto the water pool below, creating a thunderous roar. Mist rose, and when the sunlight hit it, it transformed into a colorful spectacle.

Chen Fei extended his right foot forward, descending from the cliff that was hundreds of meters high with the grace of an exiled immortal, landing lightly on the water pool.

The clear water reflected Chen Feis figure, and even the fish beneath the surface were unafraid, swimming gracefully around him.

Chen Fei glanced around, then at the water pool, and his entire body started to sink beneath the waters surface.

When his consciousness entered the Strange Heart Realm, his physical body would be in an unprotected state. Of course, with his perception as a cultivator in the Aperture tempering realm, if there were any signs of danger, Chen Fei would quickly awaken.

Reaching the bottom of the water pool, the Dragon Elephant Formation, centered under Chen Feis feet, immediately connected with the earths energy within a radius of dozens of meters, forming an array that enveloped him.

At the same time, a shadow clone separated from Chen Fei, wielding the Qianyuan Sword, appeared outside the Dragon Elephant Formation.

The clone created by the Soaring Heaven Technique could be actively controlled or given a command to execute automatically.

However, compared to active control, the autonomously executing clone appeared rather clumsy. It could only move straightforwardly, and its effectiveness against warriors of the same level was minimal.

Nonetheless, it could provide a brief delay, which was sufficient for Chen Fei. With a flicker, the Slaughter Spirit Technique was employed, and both the mam body and the clones presence vanished. If it werent for someone deliberately tracking Chen Fei to this location, it would be challenging for an ordinary Aperture tempering realm cultivator pa.s.sing by the cliff to detect his trace.

After a moment, Chen Fei closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the surroundings had completely transformed.

Between heaven and earth, only shades of black and white remained. In this place, there was no room for any colorful elements, not even for true living beings.

A faint murmur echoed in Chen Feis ears, a pervasive contamination silently creeping into his consciousness. However, the intensity of this pollution was no longer capable of causing any trouble to Chen Fei.

Glancing around, especially at the distant mountain ranges, Chen Fei quickly matched the landscape to the records on the map. With a swift motion, he ran towards the direction to his right and behind.

Compared to the real world, many techniques were unusable in the Strange Heart Realm, including body techniques like Soaring Heaven technique.

Here, the only things one could rely on were their core soul energy and mental techniques.

Fortunately, cultivating mental techniques had always been a priority for Chen Fei. Whether it was the Thousand Thread Technique or the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, as long as he didnt deliberately seek out extremely powerful eerie creatures, there were usually no major issues.

In this place, the concept of time became significantly blurred. Chen Fei even found it challenging to estimate how long he had been here. Suddenly, a dilapidated temple appeared in front of him.

Chen Feis expression slightly changed. Although he had been to the Strange Heart Realm several times, he hadnt ventured very far. However, he believed he had seen a fair amount.

Yet, this was the first time Chen Fei had encountered such an obviously artificial structure within the Strange Heart Realm.

Chen Feis gaze s.h.i.+fted from the broken temple to the faint outlines of several more buildings behind it, all of them appearing in a state of disrepair.

Chen Fei furrowed his brow slightly and used his senses to scan the broken temple and the distant structures, but he didnt detect anything unusual.

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and began to cautiously approach.

With measured steps, Chen Fei slowly moved closer to the broken temple. The temples entrance had long since disappeared, and even one of its walls had collapsed halfway.

As for the other three walls, which were slightly more intact, they were riddled with various large holes.

The interior of the broken temple was quite dim, but the entire Strange Heart Realm was shrouded in darkness, so Chen Fei could still see everything inside the temple with a single glance.

There were no statues or furniture inside the ruined temple, but on the walls of the temples interior, there were inscriptions in human script.

Chen Fei pondered for a moment, then slowly walked into the temple and approached the wall. To his surprise, the inscriptions on the wall were records of the Heart Refinement Formation.

Due to the numerous damaged areas on the wall, there were occasional gaps in the records of the Heart Refinement Formation, but overall, it was still mostly intact.

Chen Fei turned his head to look at the other three walls, which also had inscriptions, but unfortunately, most of the text on these three walls had been destroyed.

Connecting the remaining text on those walls wouldnt provide a complete technique.

Someone like Miao Qisheng actually didnt destroy it after obtaining the Heart Refinement Formation?

Chen Fei walked up to the wall, carefully examined it for a moment, and then, with a subtle expression, extended his palm and patted it on a brick. The brick crumbled into dust as if it had decayed long ago, but in the next moment, the brick that had turned to dust automatically restored itself right before Chen Feis eyes, as if nothing had happened.

This kind of power

Chen Fei was astonished and couldnt understand the principle behind the bricks restoration. With this power of restoration, considering the numerous damages on the surrounding walls, what kind of force had caused this destruction in the first place?

The mystery of the Strange Heart Realm had deepened in Chen Feis mind.

Was it the work of the Strange Tamers lineage, or were there other cultivators lost in the river of history?

Chen Fei glanced around to make sure he hadnt missed anything, then left the broken temple and began to ascend, wanting to see what was left in the other buildings..
