Chapter 480: Profound Slaying Sword
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The members of the Primordial Sword Sect entered their new mountain gate in a grand procession. Along the way, it must be said that the members of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Yu family put a lot of effort into it.
In terms of the scale of the mountain gate, it was pletely up to the standards of a fourth-tier power, and even better in some aspects.
Countless cliffs and mountains piled upon each other!
Qu Qingsheng had a smile on his face as he looked at the new mountain gate. In a daze, it seemed as if he had seen the most glorious period of the Primordial Sword Sect in the past.
And considering Chen Fei’s current age, this was definitely not the end. The Primordial Sword Sect would bee stronger and more prosperous.
Not only Qu Qingsheng, but every member of the Primordial Sword Sect was extremely excited at this moment, even the newly added Primordial Water Lineage. pared to the simplicity of Primordial Water Island, the new mountain gate was undoubtedly much better.
Let’s not even talk about the surrounding cultivation resources, just the natural aura here was much denser than on Primordial Water Island.
The overall natural aura in the Boundless Sea was very rich, but this was just the general trend. When it came down to specific locations, there were still subtle differences.
Otherwise, some places wouldn’t have more resources while others had fewer, and the reason behind it was still the uneven distribution of natural aura.
As the members of the Primordial Sword Sect received their new mountain gate, Chen Fei was already following Tong Zhongqiu and Yu Shoucheng’s introduction and saw the other two allies.
Qin Haishan from the Break Soul Sect had a somewhat gloomy aura about him, whether it was his personality or the result of his cultivation techniques remained unknown.
When he saw Chen Fei, there was a faint smirk at the corner of Qin Haishan’s mouth, a form of greeting.
On the other hand, Zhao Tianxuan from the Xuan Fire Sect, upon seeing Chen Fei, broke into a hearty laugh. Judging from his aura, he was of a similar age to Tong Zhongqiu, but his vitality and spirit exceeded Tong Zhongqiu by a considerable margin.
Evidently, Zhao Tianxuan had already consumed longevity elixirs or rare spiritual materials, and unless something unexpected happened, he could live for several more decades.
“Now that everyone is here, let me briefly explain the situation,” Qin Haishan’s voice was deep and low.
“Break Soul Sect has stood in this sea region for hundreds of years, so they have a better understanding of the situation here,” Tong Zhongqiu stood beside Chen Fei and explained in a hushed tone. Chen Fei nodded slightly.
Tong Zhongqiu tried to express his goodwill towards Chen Fei as much as possible. Although every time he saw Chen Fei, he couldn’t help but think that Chen Fei could have been a member of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, and he regretted that.
But this was an established fact that couldn’t be changed, so he could only try to befriend Chen Fei as much as possible.
If in the future, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect were truly without successors, there might be a chance that Chen Fei could lend a hand to prevent the plete disappearance of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s legacy.
“This third-grade secret realm was born approximately two hundred years ago and has undergone two disputes already. On paper, our opponents aren’t as strong as us, so our chances of winning are greater,” Qin Haishan explained as four jade slips floated towards them.
In truth, Tong Zhongqiu and the others were already well aware of most of the circumstances.
However, as a member of the alliance, it was both courteous and necessary to formally present the situation to Chen Fei as a sign of respect.
A practitioner in their early thirties in the bined Aperture Tempering realm was exceptionally young and could typically only be found in major powers.
Of course, in the eyes of Qin Haishan and the others, Chen Fei’s future development might not pare to the prodigies in those major powers. Perhaps Chen Fei was no less talented than those individuals, but the resources at their disposal were vastly different.
The prodigies of those major powers could receive the necessary resources directly from their sects or families as long as they showcased their talents and worked hard in their cultivation. This indirectly saved them countless effort and time.
Meanwhile, Chen Fei had to strive for whatever cultivation resources he needed on his own. The practitioners in his sect who were in the bined Aperture Tempering realm couldn’t provide substantial assistance.
For example, this third-grade early-stage secret realm that they were discussing, the major powers already had access to it long ago. They even had some secret realms at the late-stage of the third-grade. There was no need for those prodigies to personally participate.
However, regardless of how Chen Fei’s future trajectory might pare to those prodigies, he still had remarkable potential pared to other bined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators. As allies, it was only natural to extend the appropriate courtesy.
Chen Fei received the jade slip and let his consciousness enter it, absorbing the information about the five bined Aperture Tempering realm practitioners on the other side.
After a moment, Chen Fei withdrew his gaze from the jade slip. The information about the five bined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators on the other side was now firmly in his mind. All of them were in the early stages of the bined Aperture Tempering realm, with two of them having just recently broken through, similar to Chen Fei’s own situation.
On paper, the strength on this side did indeed seem somewhat superior.
“The specific method of the petition hasn’t been finalized yet, and it’s likely to be determined in the last month,” Qin Haishan continued when he saw Chen Fei looking up.
“In my opinion, the simplest way is a martial petition on a stage. The winner stays on top, and the loser steps down, straightforward!” Zhao Tianxuan exclaimed.
“Our strength has a slight advantage, but a simple martial petition might not be acceptable to the other side,” Yu Shoucheng shook his head.
Although they were all in the early stages of the bined Aperture Tempering realm, there was still a considerable difference in strength between those who had recently broken through and those who had advanced to the second or third stage of the bined Aperture Tempering realm. While it wasn’t as significant as crossing realms, there was indeed a noticeable gap in power.
On the other side, there were two who had just broken through a few years ago, and it was clear that their bined Aperture Tempering realm hadn’t fully expanded. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t be able to defeat Yu Shoucheng and the others.
“On paper, we have the advantage in terms of strength. Regardless of the final format of the petition, as long as we play steadily, we will undoubtedly emerge victorious in the end,” Qin Haishan stated firmly.
Although Chen Fei on their side had also recently broken through, the other side had two such individuals. According to the strategy discussed by Qin Haishan and the others, Chen Fei only needed to be able to deal with one of them.
Bringing Chen Fei into the alliance was primarily about their expectations for his future. Their requirements for him at the moment weren’t particularly high. Therefore, in this petition for the third-grade secret realm, it could have been any bined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator who had recently broken through.
In Chen Fei’s case, it was, to some extent, a gesture of goodwill from Tong Zhongqiu and Yu Shoucheng.
For this uping petition, their expectations for Chen Fei were to perform the basic tasks and not be a hindrance.
Of course, such words would never be spoken openly, but once they had reviewed the information about the opponents, it was clear in their hearts what the situation was.
“We still have a few months before the petition. If anything es up, we can meet again,” Qin Haishan summarized.
“Agreed!” Tong Zhongqiu and the others nodded.
Throughout the meeting, Chen Fei had not expressed any opinions, nor did he need to. This meeting was primarily for Chen Fei to get to know the other two individuals and to understand the current situation.
In terms of the main direction, Qin Haishan and the others had already established control, and they could continue following the established plan.
The five of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before Chen Fei respectfully took his leave. Not long after he had taken to the sky, he felt someone approaching from behind. Chen Fei couldn’t help but stop in mid-air.
Turning around, he saw Zhao Tianxuan from the Xuan Fire Sect.
“Brother Chen, my apologies for the interruption,” Zhao Tianxuan came up to Chen Fei, cupping his hands and smiling.
“No need to be so polite, Senior Zhao,” Chen Fei replied, somewhat puzzled, not knowing why Zhao Tianxuan had specifically caught up with him.
“Let’s not beat around the bush. I know that your sect’s background is relatively ordinary, and coincidentally, I have a secret technique in my possession. I wonder if Brother Chen would be interested in taking a look?” Zhao Tianxuan smiled slyly.
Both Zhao Tianxuan and Qin Haishan had naturally already learned about Chen Fei’s background. The Primordial Sword Sect had been around for several centuries, and while it might have been well-established in the past, there hadn’t been a bined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator for quite some time.
Even if they had a legacy of bined Aperture Tempering realm techniques, it was likely inplete and fragmented by now.
Therefore, Chen Fei’s choices were limited to the cultivation legacies of historical sects that had existed or techniques created by wandering cultivators, or even inplete and fragmented manuals.
In terms of available options, pared to those major powers, he indeed had far fewer choices.
But there was no way around it. ing from such a small sect, this was the inevitable oute. This was also why so many geniuses desperately tried to join those larger sects. The goal was to access better cultivation techniques and resources, without the need for so much effort and struggle.
“Cultivation technique?” Chen Fei’s expression showed a hint of interest.
Regarding cultivation techniques for the bined Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei was indeed interested. Currently, whether it was the Primordial Profound Art he was practicing or the Azure Sky Technique he had obtained later on, they both seemed quite ordinary.
If it were for another bined Aperture Tempering realm practitioner, they would naturally have to practice whatever technique they had available, as there weren’t many options. After all, good cultivation techniques were hard to e by. And for each bined Aperture Tempering realm technique, the effort required to reach its pinnacle was immense. Even if they encountered better techniques in the future, they would have to consider whether to switch.
After all, better techniques meant increased difficulty in cultivation, and the challenge of prehension was always there. Additionally, the time invested in their previous technique was also a factor to consider.
As for the fusion of different cultivation techniques, taking the strengths of one and pensating for the weaknesses of another, that was something that could only be done after prehending one’s original technique to its pinnacle. Not every bined Aperture Tempering realm practitioner had this talent.
Although every person who broke through to the bined Aperture Tempering realm was a genius during their time in the Aperture Tempering realm, it wasn’t something that everyone could maintain after reaching the bined Aperture Tempering realm. It wasn’t because their innate talent suddenly disappeared; it was merely that the difficulty of the new martial realm exceeded their aptitude.
However, Chen Fei had no concerns in this regard. With the System Panel, hard work would yield results. All he needed to do was invest time and effort to achieve mastery in his chosen techniques.
“The cultivation technique I have is called the ‘Profound Slaying Sword,’ and it’s a mind-focused technique,” Zhao Tianxuan said with an even brighter smile upon seeing Chen Fei’s expression.
“Zhao, are you trying to sell that Profound Slaying Sword again?” Tong Zhongqiu’s voice suddenly came from a distance..
