Chapter 704: Five Declines

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This is what Chen Fei found when he had slain Zhang Chaoyun and extracted the essence of spirit. At that time, Chen Fei had only been thinking about extracting the essence of spirit; as for the essence of soul, he hadnt harbored high expectations.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he had managed to extract the essence of soul along with it, although it had been somewhat difficult, he had achieved it.

Afterward, Chen Fei had even tried to eliminate the traces of his own soul left in the void, which had also been possible, just like when he had been in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

While other techniques had needed to be reintegrated with the techniques of the Mountain Sea Realm, only this residual form of the Slaughter Spirit Technique had not required it. This had made Chen Fei curious about the origin of this Slaughter Spirit Technique.

Originally, this Slaughter Spirit Technique had been nothing more than a third- tier technique in the Mysterious City, learned by some strange coincidence.

Moreover, that strangeness had been eliminated by Chen Fei using rules at the time. Now, wanting to find the origin of this Slaughter Spirit Technique, Chen Fei hadn11 known where to start.

But a residual technique that could be used from the Aperture Tempering realm to the Mountain Sea Realm had proved that fundamentally, it had been a technique above the Mountain Sea Realm.

But its excellent optimization had meant that it could be cultivated even in the

Aperture Tempering realm.

Dispersing the spiritual light at his fingertips, this Slaughter Spirit Technique was still effective for extracting spiritual essence and cutting soul traces, but enhancing attacks was no longer feasible; ultimately, there were limitations.

Perhaps in the future, Chen Fei would have the opportunity to find the complete technique of the Slaughter Spirit Technique, only then could the true power of this secret art be reproduced.

After condensing his clone, Chen Fei took some of the Monster Kings essence blood and sealed it on the back of his hand.

Although in the Mountain Sea Realm, recognizing others was more about sensing soul fluctuations, by slightly altering his aura, he could also slightly confuse others.

With nearly seventy percent of the Monster Kings essence blood remaining, Chen Fei activated the Dragon Elephant Induction Point, beginning to devour the energy within the Monster Kings essence blood to strengthen his physical body.

After reaching the Mountain Sea Realm, enhancing ones physique became increasingly difficult. Although the Monster Kings essence blood seemed substantial, it ultimately could not significantly enhance his physical strength.

It could only be said to be better than nothing, also serving to consolidate his own realm.

The Dragon Elephant Induction Point remained, and the initial fusion point was now the first divine palace within Chen Feis body.

Chen Fei was curious if his Dragon Elephant Induction Point would also become a divine palace in the future, or perhaps something else entirely.

The Monster Kings essence blood surrounded Chen Fei as he absorbed it, simultaneously practicing his techniques to enhance the proficiency of the Domain Suppression and the Heavenly Profound Sword.

Especially the proficiency of the Domain Suppression, the impact on Chen Feis combat power should be the most noticeable, and with an additional twenty percent reduction in damage, Chen Fei himself could be safer.

Since the Body Tempering realm, Chen Fei had focused on escaping and defense.

Now with two talents, one for s.h.i.+fting and one for Domain Suppression, it just so happened that these two most crucial aspects were supplemented.

Being able to fight is not the only skill.

Being able to fight, withstand, and escape if necessary, thats what Chen Fei considered the most perfect.

Chen Fei immersed himself in focused practice, while the entire Thousand Geese City became unusually chaotic due to the entry of the Primordial Sword Sect.

Everyone was eagerly inquiring about the specifics of the Primordial Sword Sect. Many had only heard of the Primordial Sword Sect before, knowing they had taken refuge here from elsewhere.

There was a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert among them, but due to being newcomers, they could only choose an extremely remote corner in the Thousand Geese Mountains.

They had little resources and could only rely on their old ways.

Nearby children of appropriate age in Thousand Geese City, when choosing a sect, seemed somewhat hesitant about the Primordial Sword Sect.

It wasnt that the Primordial Sword Sects overt strength was insufficient; it was truly that the Primordial Sword Sect lacked resources, and no one knew what would happen in the future.

But then, in just a short period, that peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert actually broke through to the Mountain Sea Realm, and even forcibly killed two veteran Mountain Sea Realm experts, Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun.

Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun had been in the Mountain Sea Realm for hundreds of years. Many mortals had been born, lived their lives, and pa.s.sed away, but these two Mountain Sea Realm experts had remained.

Yet now, they were suddenly gone, and their sect was directly liquidated.

It seemed as if overnight, Thousand Geese City had changed drastically.

From the elders of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm to the disciples of the Body Tempering realm, everyone in the Primordial Sword Sect became highly sought after.

During that time, those few who had chosen to join the Primordial Sword Sect were now even more envied and admired.

Back when the Primordial Sword Sect was accepting disciples, although they had their own requirements, they werent overly demanding, not much different from ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm sects.

But now, with the Primordial Sword Sect taking over Thousand Geese City, it became one of the three giants of the city, and even subtly, it seemed to be leading the way.

After all, neither Tang Shouchang nor Ning Baizheng had any records of killing

Mountain Sea Realm experts, let alone killing two.

Others didnt knowhow Chen Fei had accomplished this. Perhaps Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun were already heavily injured, or there were other reasons. But regardless, a kill was a kill, and both Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng admitted it; that was the fact.

So now, wanting to join the Primordial Sword Sect again wouldnt be so easy. Joining a Combined Aperture Tempering realm sect was completely different from joining a Mountain Sea Realm sect.

In a teahouse in Thousand Geese City, everyone was enthusiastically discussing the Primordial Sword Sect. Whether it was speculation or actual hearsay, as long as it involved the Primordial Sword Sect, it sparked great interest.

Lu Qinjiang sat in a corner, listening to the discussions around him, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng.

An hour later, Lu Qinjiang returned to the courtyard he rented, where three others were already waiting.

It shouldnt be wrong. This Primordial Sword Sect is indeed the one from the Sea Peak City! one of them whispered when he saw Lu Qinjiang.

Not only the Primordial Sword Sect, but I was originally in the neighboring Xianglan Domain in the Sea Peak City, so I know more about that area, another added.

Lu Qinjiang picked up the tea on the table and drank it straight down. After a moment, he set the teapot down and looked at the three people. Initially, several sects in the Sea Peak City have now all merged into the Primordial Sword Sect. It was seeing those people that truly confirmed it for me.

That Chen Fei, wasnt he just at the initial stage of Combined Aperture Tempering realm when he was in the Thousand Feathers Alliance? someone questioned, puzzled.

Because of this difference, several of them were initially hesitant to confirm. After all, the gap between the initial stage of Combined Aperture Tempering realm and the Mountain Sea Realm was too obvious; it seemed more like someone with the same name and surname.

He must be hiding his cultivation level, Lu Qinjiang also couldnt be certain.

Regarding the Primordial Sword Sect, even when he was in the Xianglan Domain, Lu Qinjiang had only heard a few things, mostly because of the bloodbath the Primordial Sword Sect had with other sects, which spread their reputation.

If it werent for the bloodbath, people from other sea domains wouldnt have bothered to learn more.

So should we report this upwards? someone asked in a low voice.

Of course, we should report it. This is the Mountain Sea Realm; the more Mountain Sea Realm experts there are, the greater our hope of returning to the Thousand Feathers Alliance, right?

Thinking about the nearly shattered state of the Thousand Feathers Alliance now, a pained expression crossed Lu Qinjiangs eyes.

He had managed to escape safely, but there were still so many people trapped inside the Thousand Feathers Alliance, being kept as livestock by the sea monsters.

Five days later, through secretive channels, news from Thousand Geese City reached the Longhu City thousands of miles away.

Compared to Thousand Geese City, there were no fewer Mountain Sea Realm experts in Longhu City, and even more, because the resources here were richer. Thousand Geese City, essentially, could be considered a remote area in the Middle Continent. The deeper into the Middle Continent one ventured, the more vibrant the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became.

Gu Danying stared at the message in his hand, not moving for a while, his eyes filled with incredulity.

There was even a moment when Gu Danying wondered if someone was deliberately causing trouble, sending such an outrageous piece of news. Chen Fei, Gu Danying remembered. Back in Sea Dominion City, Gu Danying had exchanged a few words with Chen Fei.

Gu Danyings impression of Chen Fei was still favorable.

During the siege of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, Gu Danying had also seen Chen Fei in the ranks and even nodded in acknowledgment to him.

When he escaped from the Thousand Feathers Alliance this time, Gu Danying had thought that in this lifetime, he probably wouldnt see many familiar faces again, including Chen Fei.

After all, the environment in the Thousand Feathers Alliance at that time, while not bad for the initial stage of Combined Aperture Tempering realm, was such that even a slightly powerful monster could devour them, and in the Sea Peak City, there werent many decent experts.

Even Gu Danying himself had only safely arrived on the Middle Continent under the guidance of his master.

Falling Heaven Pavilion, Combined Aperture Tempering realm pinnacle Like a bolt of lightning, the thought flashed through Gu Danyings mind, and his eyes involuntarily widened slightly.

During the battle at the Falling Heaven Pavilion, there was a mysterious Combined Aperture Tempering realm pinnacle expert who single-handedly pierced through the entire pavilion with a sword and rescued the remaining people.

At that time, many people were searching for this mysterious Combined Aperture Tempering realm pinnacle expert, but they could never find him, as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.

But if Chen Fei was indeed that mysterious Combined Aperture Tempering realm pinnacle expert, then his breakthrough to the Mountain Sea Realm suddenly seemed more reasonable.

At that time, no one had really doubted Chen Fei, after all, the aura he displayed was only at the initial stage of Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

But his age doesnt seem to be that young

In Gu Danyings mind, some information about Chen Fei flashed by, leaving him even more confused. So was that information deliberately fabricated by Chen Fei himself?

With a doubtful mind, Gu Danying arrived at the entrance of a courtyard. Disciple Gu Danying, requesting to see Master! Gu Danying bowed.

Come in.

The door of the courtyard opened, and Min Yanlu sat on a stone bench, holding a book. Compared to his appearance in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Min Yanlu at this moment appeared much older.

Even faintly, there was a sense of decay in the air.

This indicated that the end of life was near, and the inability to control the loss of vitality could lead to this. But the lifespan of a Mountain Sea Realm expert was seven hundred years, and Min Yanlu was far from reaching that age.

Seeing the aged face of his master, Gu Danying couldnt help but feel a pang of sadness.

On that day in the Thousand Feathers City, faced with the siege of the five Great Monster Kings, not only was the city breached, but Xu Zizhang, this young Mountain Sea Realm expert, also died on the spot.

Master Haiyues spiritual treasure shattered, losing an arm, and even the divine palace cracked, ultimately escaping with his life.

Min Yanlu directly burned his soul and lifespan, finally dragging a few disciples to safety.

Then, taking advantage of the Monster Kings dividing the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Min Yanlu took more people away. Now, in several major cities on the edge of the Middle Continent, he had set up some intelligence networks.

What is it? Min Yanlu put down the book.

Back in Sea Dominion City, Master received a visit from a martial artist at the initial stage of Combined Aperture Tempering realm named Chen Fei. Does Master remember? Gu Danying asked.

I have some recollection.

Min Yanlu thought for a moment, nodded. Back then, he even bestowed some Celestial Azure Flower. That young man seemed more eager to obtain the techniques of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Did he escape and arrive at a nearby city? Min Yanlu asked.

No, he broke through to the Mountain Sea Realm! Gu Danying looked up at his master and said.

Min Yanlu had intended to pick up the book on the table again, but upon hearing this, his hand froze instantly, and his gaze immediately locked onto Gu Danying.
