Chapter 738: Soaring Up

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Blood Fury was commendable, but ending up in such a state, shouldnt one have retreated? It seemed like being immobilized was futile.

The more severe the injury, the stronger one became. However, sometimes in life, there was a major misconception that one could turn the tables.

Turning the tables sometimes resembled more of a gamble, betting that ones strength after being injured could surpa.s.s that of the opponent.

Chen Feis talent, Domain Suppression, would continue to strengthen, and with the completion of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant cultivation to Great Completion, it could also bestow formidable defensive capabilities.

In that situation, being able to break through Chen Feis defense, penetrate the Domain Suppression, the opponents attack power was extremely terrifying.

In reality, in such circ.u.mstances, Chen Feis greatest possibility was actually to retreat.

Compared to other pract.i.tioners in the Mountain Sea Realm, Chen Feis greatest advantage lay in his rapid cultivation. As long as enough time was given to Chen Fei, he would grow to a very high position.

Therefore, upon careful consideration, while the Blood Fury was commendable, it couldnt compare to the Sword Mastery.

Restriction was about control, and it was also commendable, but its actual a.s.sistance to Chen Fei was not as good as imagined; some of its functions were replaced by teleportation.

Only with the Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, like the Sword Mastery, could Chen Feis abilities be greatly enhanced in a straightforward manner.

But in the end, Chen Fei chose the Sword Mastery because of its greater potential for growth.

Any technique related to swords, the Sword Mastery could enhance. Chen Feis current Profound Demon Sword could be elevated by the Sword Mastery.

With the Sword Mastery, even the Profound Demon Sword at the Mastery Level would surely see faster growth in proficiency.

More importantly, in the future, when Chen Fei refined other techniques, the Sword Mastery would still be able to a.s.sist him.

And in terms of enhancing combat power, both the Sword Mastery and the Bronze Skin and Iron Bones were similar, showing differences at most in different aspects.

Next time I come, Ill choose you!

Dragging along the Sword Masterys talent, as Chen Fei pa.s.sed by the vicinity of the Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, he silently vowed in his heart, then flew back to the starting point without looking back.

Dragging along the talent increased the consumption of Chen Feis soul power, but fortunately, Chen Fei had reserved enough soul power from the beginning, and with the help of the Domain Suppression and Teleportation talents.

When his soul power was left with only about ten percent, Chen Fei finally returned to the starting point, carrying the orb of the Sword Mastery, and left the void.

Within the mountains depths, Chen Feis body trembled slightly, and the second divine palace inside him burst forth with dazzling brilliance. The Sword Masterys talent was completely rooted within the divine palace, merging with Chen Feis essence and soul, inseparable.

Chen Feis eyes snapped open, flas.h.i.+ng like lightning in the dark environment, sharp and domineering.

Chen Feis body vanished within the mountains depths, reappearing in midair.

The surrounding area of several dozen miles gradually calmed down, and the last traces of the Heavenly Rain Flowers medicinal effects within Chen Feis body were exhausted.

The Qianyuan Sword appeared in Chen Feis hand, and he thrust it forward.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, a huge hole was pierced in the air, extending for several miles before being filled with the surrounding air and dissipating.

Chen Fei sensed the changes brought by this sword compared to before.

After a moment, Chen Fei sheathed the Qianyuan Sword.

With the addition of another divine palace, Chen Feis essence and soul were enhanced on the original basis, this was the change in the fundamental realm.

Reflected in combat power, the same sword naturally saw an improvement.

This aspect was almost the same for every pract.i.tioner in the Mountain Sea Realm; the difference lay in the attributes that might vary depending on the elemental forces condensed by different techniques.

When Chen Fei had just thrust out that sword, he had been more interested in observing the changes brought about by the Sword Mastery talent.

Compared to other pract.i.tioners in the Mountain Sea Realm, this had been what set Chen Fei apart from them completely.

From the moment he had gripped the Qjanyuan Sword just now, Chen Fei had already sensed something different.

Since stepping into the Skin Tempering realm from Pingyin County, Chen Fei had been practicing sword techniques all along. When it came to swords, Chen Fei had considered himself extremely familiar.

Although the techniques refined by the Profound Demon Sword had been ordinary, they had still been techniques of the Mountain Sea Realm, which had greatly enhanced Chen Feis understanding of swords.

But the moment he had gripped the Qianyuan Sword just now, an unprecedented sense of closeness had emerged in Chen Feis heart, difficult to articulate in words but undeniably real.

And when he had thrust out that sword, Chen Fei had instinctively made slight adjustments to some details. It had been these tiny details that had enhanced the power of this sword by a few notches.

The Sword Mastery!

Chen Fei had closed his eyes and had begun to operate the Profound Demon Sword. Suddenly, various insights into the Profound Demon Sword had appeared in Chen Feis mind.

This feeling was very similar to the simplified cultivation process after processing it through the system, both naturally comprehending the mysteries within techniques, as easy as eating and drinking.

With the addition of the Sword Mastery talent, my cultivation speed of the Profound Demon Sword will increase by more than thirty percent compared to before. And this is just the ability possessed by the Sword Mastery at the entry level!

Chen Fei opened his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his face involuntarily.

Among all the skills he had learned, the Profound Demon Sword, with the lowest proficiency, would finally start catching up gradually. In the future, even if he were to refine new techniques into it, he could still rapidly cultivate to the Mastery Level.

Speaking of which, why does this system look somewhat like an all-purpose enhanced version of the Sword Mastery?

A thought suddenly popped into Chen Feis mind. While the Sword Mastery only affected sword-related skills, the panel seemed to accelerate all techniques, even talents.

Simplify!

Simplifying Sword Mastery Simplification successful Sword Mastery -> Sword Practice!

Unable to understand the panel for now, Chen Fei decided to simplify the Sword Mastery talent directly.

The result of simplification was unexpectedly straightforward: practicing swordsmans.h.i.+p would increase the proficiency of the Sword Mastery talent.

And theres also the Xuanyuan Sword!

A towering sword shadow appeared behind Chen Fei as he sensed the changes in the Xuanyuan Sword.

As Chen Fei continuously practiced the Nine h.e.l.ls Profound Slaying Sword, this mental sword technique was rapidly increasing in proficiency as well.

Compared to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p Affinity, the ability of the Sword Mastery talent was simply astonis.h.i.+ng.

As long as it was a sword, whether it was a tangible sword or a mental one, it fell within its scope.

Within his sea of consciousness, the patterns on the Xuanyuan Swords blade gradually increased.

Compared to the previous painstaking engraving of words by Chen Fei, now, while not exactly effortless, the difficulty had undoubtedly decreased significantly.

In the Mountain Sea Realm, memories could be traced back to any point in time due to the use of soul power.

Regarding the Xuanyuan Swords content, Chen Fei had stumbled upon it by chance in his previous life. Back then, the engraving had been more of an experimental nature, and he hadnt expected it to succeed.

Now, with the increase in patterns on the Xuanyuan Swords blade, Chen Fei could distinctly feel the sword strengthening.

Chen Fei waved his hand, and the towering sword shadow behind him dissipated. Stepping forward, Chen Fei returned to the depths of the mountain.

Cross-legged, Chen Fei began to operate the Profound Demon Sword once again.

This time, Chen Fei wasnt experimenting with the ability of the Sword Mastery talent; rather, he wanted to see if the peculiar fluctuation he had summarized when absorbing the Heavenly Rain Flower would have any obvious benefits for absorbing the natural energy.

Before integrating the fluctuation into the Profound Demon Sword, Chen Fei found that his absorption speed of the natural energy had already increased significantly. It gave Chen Fei a feeling that the Profound Demon Sword had reached the Perfection Level at this moment.

This improvement wasnt only due to the addition from the divine palace; because of Chen Feis elevated consciousness and soul, he could sense more natural energy and naturally absorb it faster. It also came from the blessing of the Sword Mastery talent.

Choosing such a talent had immediately introduced the presence of the Sword Mastery into both Chen Feis cultivation and battles.

As the natural energy poured in from all directions, Chen Fei gradually infused the insights of the peculiar fluctuation into the Profound Demon Sword.

Hum!

Chen Feis body trembled slightly, and the surrounding natural energy became chaotic in an instant. The integration of this fluctuation disrupted the cultivation process of the Profound Demon Sword.

With a calm expression, Chen Fei adjusted the fluctuation to resonate with the Profound Demon Sword.

The fluctuation Chen Fei had sensed was still a work in progress, unrecognized by the panel; otherwise, Chen Fei wouldnt have needed to go through such trouble.

As Chen Fei continued to adjust, the fluctuation gradually began to harmonize with the Profound Demon Sword. The operation of the Profound Demon Sword became stable, and at the same time, its absorption of natural energy began to strengthen.

After who knew how long, as a ripple spread out from Chen Feis body, the fluctuation and the Profound Demon Sword merged completely.

The surrounding natural energy paused slightly, then the speed of influx into Chen Feis body increased instantly, causing even the natural energy within several miles to ripple.

After a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei stopped, slowly opening his eyes.

The proficiency of the Profound Demon Sword on the panel neither decreased nor increased, but the efficiency of refining natural energy with the Profound Demon Sword had indeed improved.

Coupled with the enhancement brought by the Sword Mastery talent, the level of the Profound Demon Sword technique remained unchanged, but both combat power and the effect of cultivation had been strengthened.

A smile appeared on Chen Feis face as he flashed in mid-air, orienting himself and then flying towards the direction of Feihuang City.

To search for higher-level Mountain Sea Realm techniques in Feihuang City, if there were none available, Chen Fei would exchange the rewards from completing the tasks of the Black Divines subordinates and then directly return to Thousand Geese City.

Many techniques were still waiting for Chen Fei to return and cultivate. Chen Fei no longer wished to stay outside for too long.

Two days later, a sword shadow streaked across the sky, with Chen Fei within it.

Looking at the magnificent giant city ahead, Chen Fei descended from the sky several miles away.

Feihuang City, even on the Middle Continent, was considered one of the major cities.

This was because it was home to a top-notch sect, the Feihuang Sect.

With two peak Mountain Sea Realm experts, several late-stage Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners, and even those of other levels of the Mountain Sea Realm, such strength surpa.s.sed even that of the Saint Yan Sect.

It was precisely because of the presence of the Feihuang Sect that Feihuang City had stood for thousands of years without falling, becoming increasingly prosperous.

Within Feihuang City, there was also a huge tree demon, its crown spanning tens of miles, inhabited by an extremely large number of avian demons.

Chen Fei had already seen this tree demon in Feihuang City from dozens of miles away.

Covering several miles in the blink of an eye, Chen Fei swiftly traversed the distance.

As he entered Feihuang City and drew closer to the tree demon, the pressure exerted by it grew stronger.

As a fourth-tier peak demon, it rivaled even peakMountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners and was even stronger.

Legend had it that this tree demon had accompanied the founding ancestor of the Feihuang Sect in the past.

While the founding ancestor of Feihuang City had already pa.s.sed away, this tree demon remained alive and well. Moreover, judging by the current trend, it didnt seem difficult for this tree demon to live for several thousand more years.

Standing beneath the crown of the tree demon, Chen Fei looked up at the light emanating from its branches, and suddenly, he thought of Baka.

Both being tree demons, would Baka also live for several thousand, or even tens of thousands of years?
