The Roc Spreads Its Wings

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After a moment, Chen Fei regained his composure, his gaze flickering constantly.

The books were numerous, but they didnt contain secret martial arts techniques. Instead, they doc.u.mented something else, something about the Black Divine and similar demonic ent.i.ties.

At this point, Chen Fei finally understood why the Feihuang Sect was collecting subordinates of the Black Divine.

Surprisingly, the Feihuang Sect intended to find a way from these subordinates to strip the Black Divine of its power and authority when it was sealed.

Yes, strip away, or one could also say, steal.

The books didnt delve into the origins of the Black Divine in detail, but from the fragments of information and Chen Feis own sources, it seemed the Black Divine didnt originate from the Boundless Sea.

It appeared more like an invasion from elsewhere, much like the altar of the Thousand Feathers Alliance. The monsters appearing from the altar were probably from the same place as the Black Divine.

However, the monsters appearing in the altar were only at the level of the fourth rank for now.

If the monsters were only of such power, it might be an exaggeration to say they were irrelevant to the entire Boundless Sea, but they indeed couldnt overturn it.

However, evidently, the power of the Black Divine surpa.s.sed this. It was much stronger than the fourth rank, and reaching the fifth rank was almost certain. But it seemed it hadnt surpa.s.sed the Sixth-Tier either. However, many of its methods were not something an ordinary Fifth-Tier could possess.

But if it were truly of the Sixth-Tier, those Sacred Lands Sun Moon Realm experts would probably have been easily slain long ago, and the Boundless Sea would have become the realm of monsters.

Could this world restrict the upper limit of power? a thought suddenly flashed through Chen Feis mind.

It seemed like the only possibility that would suppress invading forces.

Initially, the Black Divine was sealed.

Under what circ.u.mstances would one seal instead of exterminate?

That would be when it couldnt be killed or eradicated, only stepping back to seal it away, waiting for time to slowly wear it down.

However, from the current situation, after so many years, the Black Divine hadnt been worn down; instead, it was breaking the seal. At the same time, other monsters were appearing in the Boundless Sea from unknown places. These monsters were so troublesome, especially at the level of the Black Divine, that even experts of the fifth rank in the Sun Moon Realm couldnt kill them. Among the top powers in the Boundless Sea, anyone who knew about the power of the Black Divine would probably be filled with longing for such power.

Chen Fei recalled his first appearance in the realm of the Black Divine. At that time, there were already many beings from the Mountain Sea Realm present in the realm of the Black Divine.

Those in the Harmonizing Realm thought they had accidentally appeared in the realm of the Black Divine, and Chen Fei himself thought so at the time.

Now, looking back, Chen Fei feared that among them were those from the Sacred Lands and top powers, orchestrating events.

The Feihuang Sects collection of subordinates of the Black Divine was aimed at reverse-stealing the authority of the Black Divine from these subordinates, seizing a bit of power while it was unable to resist the seal.

If successful, for these top powers like the Feihuang Sect, there might be an opportunity for advancement to the Sun Moon Realm.

The entire book roughly outlined these matters, while the other jade slip recorded the method of stealing the power of the Black Divine.

With one matter recorded in two ways, Chen Fei could somewhat discern the intention of the Feihuang Sect. But now, none of this mattered.

The jade slip was already destroyed, but even if it hadnt been, Chen Fei estimated he would only look at it and not execute its contents.

Because from the current outcome of the Feihuang City, the Feihuang Sect undoubtedly failed.

If previously Chen Fei had doubts about whether the Tree King had truly died, seeing the contents of this book now confirmed to him that the Tree King hadnt died.

But even if the Tree King hadnt died, it was probably as good as dead.

The body of the Tree King was certainly alive, but its wisdom was likely corroded by the power of the Black Divine, completely blackened, ultimately leading to the complete destruction of the entire Feihuang Sect.

Previously, Chen Fei believed that with the power of the Tree King, as long as Fifth-Tier powers didnt emerge, even with numerous monsters, the Feihuang Sect wouldnt collapse so easily.

Yet, the strongest fortress eventually crumbled from within. With the sudden uprising of the Tree Kings power, how could the people of the Feihuang Sect resist?

Moreover, with the Tree King being corrupted, its likely that other beings in the Feihuang Sect, at various levels of power, would be affected, leading to the current outcome.

Do other top powers in the Boundless Sea also attempt to steal the power of the Black Divine? Seeing the failure of the Feihuang Sect, they shouldnt dare to do so again, right?

Chen Fei thought about other top powers, also collecting subordinates of the Black Divine, probably doing the same thing as the Feihuang Sect.

Attempting to acquire power they couldnt control, this hazard was planted from the very beginning.

Perhaps in their view, the Black Divine is still sealed and poses minimal threat. But ultimately, greed led to their downfall.

I wonder if those Sacred Lands have maintained control over themselves?

Chen Fei rubbed his forehead with his fingers. The pursuit of higher power is almost instinctual for every martial artist, and the Sacred Lands are no exception.

Especially those in the Sun Moon Realm, in situations where theres no further advancement possible, they probably desire to know what higher power truly entails.

The Sun Moon Realm shouldnt be easily corrupted, otherwise, the Black Divine wouldnt have been sealed.

Chen Fei shook his head, suppressing the stray thoughts in his mind.

Chen Fei couldnt stop what other beings in the Mountain Sea Realm, or even in the Sun Moon Realm, were doing.

The constant appearance of monsters in the Boundless Sea couldnt be halted either. What Chen Fei could do now was to elevate his own strength.

Before disaster truly struck, he needed to possess enough power to protect himself and those around him.

Lost in thought, Chen Fei suddenly turned his head to the side. Several tens of miles away, seven figures appeared, and the leaders among them simultaneously noticed Chen Fei.

Chen Fei frowned slightly. Among the seven figures, he recognized a familiar face: Liao Zhixiu, who had just been injured by Chen Fei.

Upon seeing Chen Fei, Liao Zhixius eyes widened slightly, filled with a glint of hatred.

The sword strike earlier had been slightly too slow for Liao Zhixiu to evade completely, resulting in his demise. Even though he managed to escape with his life afterward, his spiritual energy was greatly depleted due to burning his soul.

At this moment, Liao Zhixius face was pale with a hint of paleness.

With injuries like these, it would take several years, even a decade or more, for recovery to be possible. During this period, attempting to break through to the mid-level of the Mountain Sea Realm would be utterly impossible.

Chen Fei remained expressionless, continuing along the original path, but increasing his speed.

If it werent for bringing along the Changheng Sword and the Soul Restraint Hairpin, Chen Feis main body could have directly recalled the clone.

However, because of these spiritual treasures, if the clone were to dissipate, all the spiritual treasures would be left behind, resulting in too great a loss.

Son, I recognize that person. He was discovered in Feihuang City before, and now hes returning from that direction. He should know something. Its best to intercept him and ask some questions.

Liao Zhixiu approached Qu Tianfang, speaking in a low voice.

Just call meby my name. Imnot worthy of being called Son at the moment. Qu Tianfang shook his head slightly upon hearing Liao Zhixius words, then looked towards the direction Chen Fei had left, smiling. Do you have a grudge against him?

Liao Zhixiu glanced at Qu Tianfang, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, not daring to conceal the truth. Yes, I had some conflicts with him before and was injured by him. But, Son, this person did indeed discover something before. Seeing Liao Zhixiu admitting truthfully, a slight smile formed at the corners of Qu Tianfangs mouth as he turned his head to glance at the place where he had sensed a slight disturbance just now.

From the direction, the person in the distance did indeed seem like the one who had just returned from where the disturbance emanated.

Son, do you want to intercept him? one person nearby asked politely as Qu Tianfang pondered.

Qu Tianfang, the pride of the Tianyang Sacred Land, was at the pinnacle of the initial stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, and from his aura, it seemed he would soon break through to the mid-level of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Calling Qu Tianfang the Son of the Tianyang Sacred Land might be a bit exaggerated as he didnt have the qualifications for such a t.i.tle at this realm. However, there was no doubt about Qu Tianfangs talent. He just lacked time. Hence, Qu Tianfang held a high position in the Tianyang Sacred Land, and many were willing to flatter him.

His visit to Feihuang City was merely a coincidence as he happened to be traveling in the area.

Among the six people around him at the moment, only one was from the same sect, while the others knew his ident.i.ty and approached him eagerly, similar to Liao Zhixiu.

Then lets intercept him and ask a few questions.

Qu Tianfang nodded and continued, Since he managed to injure Brother Liao, it seems hes quite skilled. Three of you can go together. Observe his movements, and if you cant catch up, use this spiritual symbol.

Qu Tianfang selected two followers and then took out a spiritual symbol from his sleeve.

Just looking at the symbol gave off a sense of ethereal flight.

Ling Shourong accepted the spiritual symbol and, together with Qu Tianfang and Gu Baiquan, bowed to Qu Tianfang before their figures blurred into remnants, chasing after Chen Feis direction.

Qu Tianfang didnt pay much attention, continuing on with the remaining people toward where he had sensed the disturbance earlier.

That person is quite skilled. He might not agree to come with us easily later.

Brother Ling and Brother Gu, you need to be careful.

Liao Zhixiu whispered to Ling Shourong and Gu Baiquan as they flew through the air.

Despite harboring deep hatred for Chen Fei, Liao Zhixiu had to admit that the other partys strength surpa.s.sed his own. Ling Shourong and Gu Baiquan were both at the Mountain Sea Realm of the Three Divine Palaces, but Liao Zhixiu still felt the need to remind them.

Son only wants to ask a few questions. If the other party refuses, well have to resort to some methods, Ling Shourong said calmly.

The fact that the person managed to injure Liao Zhixiu indicated his considerable strength, but it was only an injury, showing that there were limits even to higher strength. Right now, the only thing the three of them needed to consider was whether they could catch up.

However, with the spiritual symbol bestowed by Qu Tianfang, Ling Shourong wasnt worried.

Ling Shourong didnt bother shouting to Chen Fei. In this situation, ordinary people wouldnt stop, and shouting would be meaningless. It was better to directly catch up and intercept him.

A streak of purple light slashed across the sky, and Chen Fei turned his head to glance backward, noticing the figures of Liao Zhixiu and his companions. His brow couldnt help but furrow.

The newcomers didnt seem friendly!

Activating the Thousand Illusions Sky Travel to its extreme, Chen Feis speed surged once more, flying forward at the fastest pace possible.

Liao Zhixiu and his companions had been closing the distance between them, but seeing Chen Feis speed suddenly skyrocketed, they couldnt help but be stunned. Such speed was beyond the reach of an ordinary initial-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivator.

They had just started the pursuit, but giving up now would be too much for Ling Shourong to swallow.

The spiritual symbol appeared in Ling Shourongs hand, and his entire body boiled with energy as he activated it.

In the next moment, a shadow of a Roc emerged, enveloping Ling Shourong and his companions. Their energies connected with each other, and the surrounding elemental energy automatically condensed behind them.

In an instant, their speed skyrocketed, the distance that Chen Fei had opened up began to close, and gradually, the gap between the two parties started to narrow.

Ahead, Chen Fei sensed the disturbance behind him, glanced back, squinted his eyes. According to this trend, he might indeed be caught up with eventually.

Three peak initial-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators were something his current clone couldnt contend with.

In the Tingfeng Pavilion of the Thousand Geese City, Chen Feis main bodys eyes slightly opened, and his figure dissipated within the room, reappearing in the courtyard.

Chen Feis body slightly sank, and the ground seemed to turn into a surface of water. Countless ripples spread from Chen Feis feet, and the next moment, he soared into the sky, disappearing into the Thousand Geese City.
