Chapter 490: Heavenly Eye

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Theyre coming after us? The aura of the battle flag disappeared. Did someone take the battle flag separately?

Several thoughts flashed through Chen Feis mind as he sensed the growing sense of danger. Chen Fei began to feel somewhat certain.

The other sides actions were undoubtedly risky, considering this was a flag-s.n.a.t.c.hing battle, and seizing the flag was the real key. As for how many people would be eliminated, that was just a process, not the final result.

Apparently, the inability to find Chen Fei and his group made Mo s.h.i.+yi and the others anxious, forcing them to make this choice. After all, the aura of the battle flag was too strong, and they couldnt conceal it.

Chen Fei shook the jade pendant at his waist, and Qin Haishan and the other two appeared by his side. Chen Fei waved his right hand, dissipating the scenes aura, and then the four of them disappeared on the spot.

Qin Haishan and the other two had no doubts about Chen Feis actions. After all, from just now until now, Chen Fei had been guiding them all along.

And the fact proved that Chen Fei had indeed perfectly avoided Mo s.h.i.+yi and the others, which was incredibly impressive.

Leading Qin Haishan and the other two, Chen Fei changed directions a few times, and the sense of danger in his heart gradually lessened.

However, compared to the clear perception of the battle flags aura as the target just now, relying solely on a vague sense with his spiritual sense was actually quite dangerous.

Perhaps one wrong choice could have led us straight towards Mo s.h.i.+yis direction. Even if we changed course due to the increased sense of danger, we would have fallen into the detection range of the Profound Origin Pearl.

At that point, it would be much less likely to escape from Mo s.h.i.+yi and his groups pursuit.

Mo s.h.i.+yi has hidden the battle flag. It wont be easy to avoid them like we did just now, Chen Fei said as they stopped in a dense forest, turning to look at Qin Haishan and the other two.

The battle flag still needs some time to upgrade to a middle-grade magic treasure, Qin Haishan said as he lifted the black battle flag in his hand, emitting a faint glow.

The battle flag started as a low-grade spiritual weapon, but after devouring so many resources, it had evolved to the level of a low-grade magic treasure. Now, it was approaching the level of a middle-grade magic treasure.

This speed was quite fast, thanks in part to the abundant resources in the territory of the other party.

The power of a low-grade magic treasure was still far from what everyone expected. After all, everyone except Chen Fei had a low-grade magic treasure in their hands.

Adding another low-grade magic treasure like the battle flag would not have much impact on the overall situation.

According to Chen Feis groups estimation, the treasures on Mo s.h.i.+yis side were either capable of instantly trapping people with no escape or possessed the power of a mid-Combine Aperture Tempering realm attack.

If its the former scenario, the situation is still manageable. However, if its the latter, Qin Haishan and the others would only have a chance if they upgraded the battle flag to a middle-grade magic treasure.

Even in a confrontation, against the power of the mid-Combine Aperture Tempering realm, even a single attack from someone wielding a middle-grade magic treasure would likely result in serious injuries if it landed squarely.

To win the battle, Qin Haishans side would be best off upgrading the battle flag to a top-grade magic treasure. In that case, even if they were hit head-on, the worst outcome would be minor injuries.

With a top-grade magic treasure in hand, even with minor injuries, they could unleash power close to the mid-Combine Aperture Tempering realm, enough to sweep away Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group.

However, upgrading the battle flag to a top-grade magic treasure would require time. The power difference between each tier of magic treasures was substantial, just like the Combine Aperture Tempering realm levels.

Therefore, even though the battle flag seemed to be nearing a middle-grade magic treasure, truly upgrading it to a top-grade magic treasure would take at least half an hour.

Half an hour was something Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group wouldnt readily provide.

It could only be said that the item in Mo s.h.i.+yis possession was too exceptional, forcing Qin Haishan and his group to temporarily retreat and wait for other opportunities.

If they dare to split up, then well go and s.n.a.t.c.h their battle flag! Zhao Tianxuan said firmly.

No, it wont work. The boundaries on both sides are too vast. Finding their battle flag wont be a quick task. By the time we locate it, not only will we fail to upgrade our own battle flag, but we might also run into them, Tong Zhongqiu said after some thought, shaking his head.

This flag-s.n.a.t.c.hing battle had evolved into a decisive situation. It forced both sides to commit to a single path. Being indecisive would only lead to failure.

Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group were forced to split up and hide their battle flag. If Qin Haishans group followed this rhythm and tried to find their opponents battle flag, it would play right into Mo s.h.i.+yis hands.

Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group were most concerned about Qin Haishans side upgrading their battle flag to an unstoppable level.

But we dont have enough time. We might run into Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group before we can upgrade the battle flag to a top-grade magic treasure, Zhao Tianxuan furrowed his brow.

Lets return to our own territory. Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group have just come back from there, so they wont go back there temporarily, Qin Haishan said in a low voice.

In the opponents territory, the resources and aura were more abundant, and Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group were bound to be aware of this fact.

Therefore, Mo s.h.i.+yis first priority would be to sweep through their own territory, preventing Qin Haishans battle flag from growing rapidly.

Agreed!

Tong Zhongqiu and Zhao Tianxuan both nodded. Although their territory had fewer resources and aura, they could at least upgrade the battle flag to a middle-grade magic treasure for the time being.

As long as we have a middle-grade magic treasure, our situation will stabilize significantly. Even if we do run into Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group later, we wont know the outcome until we actually engage in battle, Chen Fei suddenly spoke up.

Youre going to search for it alone? Qin Haishan and the others looked at Chen Fei in astonishment.

Yes, Chen Fei nodded and continued, I have a secret technique that can track auras and traces. Theres a chance I can dig out their location.

Qin Haishan and the others exchanged surprised glances. They couldnt believe there was yet another secret technique!

From eliminating auras to remote observation, as well as guiding them to evade Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group, Chen Fei had already demonstrated several secret techniques, and each one had been incredibly useful.

Now, there was a new secret technique that could potentially track the location of Mo s.h.i.+yi and his groups battle flag.

They were aware of Chen Feis background, coming from a declining small sect that had been in obscurity for many years. If they didnt know his origins, they might have suspected that Chen Fei had some affiliation with a major power.

So, was this how people from small sects were nowadays, giving it their all like this?

The key question was how Chen Fei, in his early thirties, had managed to advance to the Combine Aperture Tempering realm. He not only practiced elemental cultivation techniques but also various secret techniques. Did he have such a remarkably efficient use of time?

What kind of monstrous talent was he?

Do you have confidence? Qin Haishan asked, still concerned.

Now that there were only four of them, if they accidentally lost one, even with a middle-grade magic treasure, they wouldnt have any chance of winning.

Ill try to find it. If I cant locate it quickly, Ill regroup with you, Chen Fei whispered.

They all had the Linked Jade, allowing Chen Fei to quickly locate their positions.

Qin Haishan pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with Zhao Tianxuan and Tong Zhongqiu, and finally nodded.

In this flag-s.n.a.t.c.hing battle, thanks to Chen Fei, they had managed to turn the unfavorable situation into the current state. Chen Fei had already proven his extraordinary abilities.

This time, they chose to continue trusting Chen Fei.

Be careful. If theres any trouble, notify us immediately, Qin Haishan cautioned.

Got it!

Chen Fei nodded, then soared into the sky, heading southeast.

Qin Haishan watched Chen Feis figure, then, with Tong Zhongqiu and Zhao Tianxuan, flew towards their own territory.

Chen Fei carefully sensed his surroundings as he flew to the location where Mo s.h.i.+yi and his groups battle flag had disappeared earlier. This place was where Chen Fei had last sensed the presence of their opponents battle flag.

To track their opponents battle flag, he had to start from here.

Backtrack Vision!

Chen Fei pointed his right hand towards his eyes and, in the next moment, various pieces of easily overlooked information in his surroundings were suddenly within his sight.

Backtrack Vision, a secret technique contained within the Azure Sky Technique, could be considered the most valuable skill in the entire Azure Sky Technique according to Chen Feis opinion.

Before even fully studying the Azure Sky Technique, Chen Fei had isolated the Backtrack Vision and cultivated it to a state of perfection.

The Backtrack Vision was said to allow one to see the past as if it possessed the laws of cause and effect. However, once Chen Fei truly practiced it, he realized that the Backtrack Vision wasnt as miraculous as it sounded. Instead, it primarily collected various information from the surroundings and then deduced from there.

The more advanced the cultivation of the technique, the more details it could capture, and the more comprehensive the deductions it could make.

Therefore, it was more accurate to say that the Backtrack Vision didnt see the past but rather used the current situation to retroactively a.n.a.lyze the past. Everything it saw was the result of deduction.

The gra.s.s on the ground, scattered leaves, wind direction, fluctuations in elemental energy, and countless other details were all meticulously taken in by Chen Feis eyes.

Gradually, in Chen Feis vision, five blurry phantoms appeared in mid-air. Four of them were flying in the direction from which Chen Fei had come, and one of them was heading forward while holding a flag.

Its indeed one person carrying the battle flag away!

Chen Fei immediately followed, but after just a few hundred meters, he had to stop again to gather information from his surroundings and deduce the opponents direction.

Too slow. Flying in the Combine Aperture Tempering realm causes minimal environmental changes, and the most obvious, the natural elemental energy, is the most elusive.

Chen Feis right hand pa.s.sed over his brow, and the Backtrack Vision began to operate, collecting all the surrounding auras.

However, soon, Chen Fei frowned.

The aura of the battle flag was too intense, and when gathering information from the past, all he found was this aura in every direction, making it difficult to search effectively.

Activate!

Chen Feis mental focus in his sea of consciousness trembled intensely, and the Sword Return Eye, Backtrack Vision, and Star Gazing Technique merged together. A crack at the center of Chen Feis brow expanded, emitting a beam of light.

The Heavenly Eye!

The entire world seemed to pause for a moment, and in Chen Feis field of vision, a world composed of numerous lines was born.

Chen Feis mental power began to consume rapidly, but in his sight, a thin red line clearly displayed itself, marking the path where the opponents battle flag had pa.s.sed.

Nothing could escape his sight!
