Chapter 718: Longing

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique was inscribed on a piece of beast skin.

That piece of beast skin, originally, Chen Fei felt extremely miraculous about it, impervious to water and fire, and swords couldnt harm it.

However, as Chen Feis current realm has improved, he has found that the piece of beast skin actually comes from a Third-Tier monster.

For Chen Fei, who was only in the Body Tempering realm at the time, a Third- Tier monster was naturally extremely mysterious, possessing various incredible qualities.

There was also the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering that Chen Fei later obtained from the Dragon-Elephant True Immortal. That beast skin was also a Third-Tier monster, but it was a peak Third-Tier monster.

As for some parts of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering, they were obtained from the master of the broken ruler.

So, the real situation is that the source of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant is the stone stele of Corpse Cliff Mountain. What about saying that the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering was not created? Its completely self-aggrandizing, isnt it?

Chen Fei suddenly felt a bit sour, what a strange and wicked taste this was.

Back then, he was too naive. Chen Fei really thought that this martial art had such an origin.

As for the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering, they were supplemented by the master of the Broken Ruler himself.

Now its clear that its not like that at all.

The stone stele was later shattered?

Chen Fei looked up at Tu Zaichuan. The power of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant martial art was beyond doubt. Normally, it should have been widely circulated.

But the result was that when Chen Fei encountered people from the Mountain Sea Realm, Tu Zaichuan recognized the martial art Chen Fei was using. Obviously, on the Middle Continent, ordinary people had no access to this martial art at all.

I heard that shortly after its appearance, a part of it was shattered. Now it has been banned by the Saint Yan Sect for thousands of years. This martial art is no longer circulated outside. Now it is almost becoming a heritage of the Saint Yan Sect, Tu Zaichuan said.

The Saint Yan Sect?

Hearing about the Saint Yan Sect, Chen Feis brows slightly furrowed. There were probably few people on the Middle Continent who had never heard of this sect.

This was a true major sect, with several late-stage experts in the Mountain Sea Realm within its ranks. Over the course of thousands of years, the Saint Yan Sect had produced several peak experts in the Mountain Sea Realm. Whenever this happened, it was the peak of the Saint Yan Sects power.

Although no peak experts in the Mountain Sea Realm had emerged from the sect recently, several late-stage experts were enough to deter all sides.

Is the Suppressing Dragon Elephant so extraordinary that it can be guarded by just one Saint Yan Sect? Chen Fei asked in confusion.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant was truly something only those who practiced it would understand. While the Saint Yan Sect was certainly powerful, there were actually quite a few sects on the Middle Continent that were stronger than the Saint Yan Sect.

One Saint Yan Sect wouldnt be able to withstand the pressure from other top forces.

Ive heard that other top forces have already incorporated the parts of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant that can be cultivated. As for the part that shattered, it has never been repaired.

So, is the Suppressing Dragon Elephant still in a damaged state in the hands of various sects? Then why did the Saint Yan Sect ban that stone stele? Chen Fei frowned slightly.

Originally, he thought that the Suppressing Dragon Elephant finally had a complete version. Although it was in the hands of other sects, he now realized that this martial art had actually been in a damaged state for thousands of years.

So even though many sects had this martial art, there were probably very few pract.i.tioners.

When it came to top forces, there were so many complete and peerless martial arts within the sects. Why would anyone want to cultivate an incomplete martial art?

And because there were so few pract.i.tioners, if they encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation and had no one to ask for advice, they might really be stuck at that point indefinitely.

Moreover, Chen Fei now realized that cultivating the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to this extent was actually very difficult. Because it didnt cultivate elemental force, pract.i.tioners needed to have a very strong comprehension of the way of the body.

Inadvertently, many people were filtered out.

Ive heard that those who cultivate the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to a truly advanced level can directly comprehend the subsequent cultivation methods from the stone stele. In the history of the Saint Yan Sect, several individuals who cultivated to the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm have all comprehended the subsequent methods from the stone stele, Tu Zaichuan said.

Speaking of reaching the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, Tu Zaichuans expression subtly changed. He continued, However, those cultivation methods can only be understood and not verbally transmitted. Therefore, the Saint Yan Sect still confines the stone stele. Unless its needed by other top sects, they will open it separately.

You can comprehend the subsequent methods from the stone stele! Chen Feis eyes lit up slightly.

The Saint Yan Sect truly relied on its strength to bully others, blocking off all paths for other martial artists to observe the stone stele. They would only be willing to open it separately if other top forces needed it.

As for those individuals in the history of the Saint Yan Sect who reached the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm and were able to comprehend the subsequent methods of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, it was mostly due to their talent. After all, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant didnt cultivate elemental force and couldnt directly help with martial arts realm advancement.

I have a way. As long as youre willing to pay a sufficient price, I can arrange for someone to take you to observe the stone stele.

Tu Zaichuan quickly added, as if afraid that Chen Fei might take action after hearing what was needed.

Chen Fei glanced at Tu Zaichuan without saying anything and then left the dungeon.

Three days later, after Min Yanlu had rested for a while, he bid farewell to Chen Fei and was escorted by Master Haiyue out of Thousand Geese City.

Ten days later, a jade slip was placed in front of Chen Fei, containing specific information about Corpse Cliff Mountain and the stone stele restricted by the Saint Yan Sect.

The main gate of the Saint Yan Sect was not located on Corpse Cliff Mountain. Such places were inhospitable even for those below the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, so naturally, they were unsuitable for sect headquarters.

However, a portion of the Saint Yan Sects members did remain on Corpse Cliff Mountain, their purpose being to guard the stone stele.

Many people were aware that the Saint Yan Sect guarded a stone stele containing an extraordinary martial art, but they also knew that the martial art on that stele was incomplete.

The allure of a peerless martial art was undeniable.

But whether it was worth offending the Saint Yan Sect for an incomplete martial art, that was something to carefully consider.

After all, that stone stele, besides the Saint Yan Sect, many top-tier sects were also keeping an eye on it.

Moreover, the members of the Saint Yan Sect stationed on Corpse Cliff Mountain were in the Mountain Sea Realm. Other pract.i.tioners in the Mountain Sea Realm had their own main martial arts. It wasnt worth fighting for a martial art that hadnt appeared for thousands of years.

Looking at those top-tier sects, even the ones who cultivated this martial art were few and far between. From this perspective, it was possible to understand some aspects of this martial art.

These top-tier sects, and even sects like the Saint Yan Sect, probably had martial arts that were almost as powerful as the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

Chen Fei set down the jade slip, his gaze flickering slightly.

If even these top-tier sects were like this, what about the sacred places?

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant was certainly not invincible. Chen Feis current strength in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm was because he was highly proficient in various martial arts.

However, although the Suppressing Dragon Elephant may not have been the best, it was still an important part of Chen Feis combat strength. Even his talent for domain control was activated because of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

And now that Chen Fei had cultivated it to this extent, if there was an opportunity to obtain the complete Suppressing Dragon Elephant, he would certainly not let it slip away.

But Chen Fei didnt plan to go now. The stone stele would remain there, unmoving, and Chen Fei still had many martial arts to cultivate.

Even if he were to really retrieve the complete Suppressing Dragon Elephant, scheduling time for cultivation would be extremely tight.

In that case, it would be better to first improve the proficiency of the martial arts he currently possessed, making his strength stronger before considering anything else.

The Saint Yan Sect was definitely a behemoth for Chen Fei now. Although he wasnt heading to the Saint Yan Sects main gate now, he still needed to be cautious.

And Corpse Cliff Mountain was not an easy place either. It would be better to increase his strength before going there.

Three months pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Fei didnt leave Thousand Geese City at all during this time. He remained in seclusion the entire time.

Of course, it was still necessary to guide Tong Linyun and Chi Shuqing in their cultivation progress.

Cultivation was such a tedious affair; it always needed some variety. Besides, practicing together with them, listening to the sounds of the clear spring and gazing at the towering mountains, was quite enjoyable.

In these three months, the Profound Demon Sword progressed from the entry stage to the Mastery stage. Chen Fei also nurtured his soul and increased the speed of absorbing the Energy of Heaven and Earth.

When the Sky Travel was initially integrated, its proficiency was at the Mastery Realm. After three months of cultivation, and with the boost from his talent for teleportation, Chen Fei managed to cultivate it to the Perfection Realm.

Chen Feis speed increased significantly, largely due to his talent for teleportation. The effect of his Sky Travel approached a state close to Great Completion.

This made Chen Fei somewhat eager to cultivate the Sky Travel to perfection, wondering how much his speed would improve.

And his talent for teleportation, stimulated by the Sky Travel, began to break through its limits as Chen Fei had expected.

Now, when Chen Fei teleported, the maximum distance increased from the original sixty miles to about seventy miles.

Moreover, this improvement showed no signs of stopping as Chen Fei continued to cultivate the Sky Travel.

Using his clone to cultivate the Bloodline Origin Shadow Technique, which had initially been integrated, had its proficiency progress from the Mastery stage to the Perfection stage.

However, for Chen Fei to advance his clone to the Mountain Sea Realm, he needed to cultivate it to the state of Great Perfection.

In the dungeon, Tu Zaichuan sat motionless on the ground.

After that day, Tu Zaichuan had expected Chen Fei to rush straight to Corpse Cliff Mountain, giving him the opportunity to start planning his escape route.

However, three months had pa.s.sed without a word.

For pract.i.tioners in the Mountain Sea Realm, three months are actually very short. But for someone like Tu Zaichuan, constantly living in the fear of death, three months seemed extremely long, causing immense mental and emotional torment.

Tu Zaichuan was very afraid that if he closed his eyes, he wouldnt wake up the next day.

In the blink of an eye, more than seven months had pa.s.sed. It had been a year since Chen Fei broke through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Chen Fei still hadnt gone anywhere. The potions and spirit stones he had obtained from Wu Renxu and the others were almost completely used up.

Chen Fei decided to sell the two treasures, the Overturning Sea Blade, in exchange for a large sum of high-grade spirit stones and fourth-grade pills, to continue a.s.sisting his cultivation.

With this intensive medication, combined with the continual improvement in the proficiency of the Profound Demon Sword, Chen Feis progress was very evident.

The first divine palace had been completely stabilized, and the second divine palace had begun to be established.

However, it would still take a considerable amount of time to completely forge the second divine palace. Since the Profound Demon Sword had not reached perfection yet, Chen Fei couldnt estimate the exact time frame.

In the seven months, the proficiency of various martial arts continued to improve, but none had reached a new stage.

On the contrary, Chen Feis talent for teleportation, stimulated by the Sky Travel, increased its maximum distance once again, reaching a level of eighty miles. The path of breaking through limits continued.

Furthermore, Chen Feis talent for domain control in the first divine palace had finally progressed from the Mastery Realm to the Perfection Realm after more than a year of cultivation.

The limit of damage reduction had increased from ten percent to twenty percent.

In the dungeon, Tu Zaichuan looked on with longing eyes, while Chen Fei planned to continue his seclusion and cultivation until a certain piece of news appeared before him.

Corpse Cliff Mountain, the Heavenly Rain Flower had appeared.
