Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Each Rule Integration Realm’s assets definitely differ, but generally, they don’t vary too much within the same rank.

A Rule Integration Realm Early Stage’s collection of spirit materials, along with low-grade Primordial Crystals, is valued at about forty to fifty thousand.

A low-grade mystical treasure is roughly between thirty and forty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, thus slaying one at the Rule Integration Realm Early Stage, one could harvest seventy to ninety thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

Calculating low-grade Primordial Crystals in terms of tens of thousands is indeed an astonishing fortune, yet for Chen Fei, ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals a day seemed a bit scant.

Today, Chen Fei had slain four mid-stage Rule Integration Realm fighters and had gained some understanding of their assets.

Mid-grade mystical treasures are valued between one hundred fifty thousand to two hundred thousand on the market, with significant fluctuations, and many factors affecting the price such as the type of Rules and characteristics of the mystical treasures, and so on.

Calculating at the minimum price of one hundred fifty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals, the four mid-grade mystical treasures in Chen Fei’s possession could be exchanged for six hundred thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

Apart from the mystical treasures themselves, the spirit materials and low-grade Primordial Crystals stored within them also represented a vast wealth.

Chen Fei had spent an hour organizing the items within the four mystical treasures and ultimately harvested five hundred thirty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

The various Sixth-Tier low-grade and mid-grade spirit materials were estimated to be valued at around four hundred fifty thousand.

If the mystical treasures and spirit materials could be sold successfully, slaying four mid-stage Rule Integration Realm opponents would allow Chen Fei to harvest approximately one million five hundred eighty thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.

It didn’t match the pre-battle duels outside Jiguang City, but that was because the Ice Race and Evil Clans imperial sovereign, in an attempt to kill Chen Fei, had brought out a significant amount of spirit materials.

Normally, where would one have the opportunity to acquire so many Sixth-Tier top-grade spirit materials all at once? Even by slaying a late-stage Rule Integration Realm, it wouldn’t yield as much.

The entire Black Stone Domain’s production of spirit materials consisted mainly of abundant low-grade Primordial Crystals but lacked various rare precious treasures.

Thus, oftentimes, having plenty of low-grade Primordial Crystals doesn’t necessarily mean one can buy spirit materials; it still involves some luck.

For most spirit materials, Chen Fei didn’t need them to that extent, unless they could benefit the soul; otherwise, it was better to exchange them for low-grade Primordial Crystals, which were of greater help to Chen Fei.

The items harvested today, worth over a million low-grade Primordial Crystals, could let Chen Fei not worry about the shortage of low-grade Primordial Crystals for some time to come.

Apart from the substantial harvest of low-grade Primordial Crystals, there was also another significant gain: the Memory Fragments peeled from the three fragmented souls by executing the God Devouring move.

The Sun Moon Realm already tremendously refines the soul’s protection, and by the Rule Integration Realm, it naturally goes even further.

Therefore, even though God Devouring is quite remarkable, it wasn’t possible to completely separate the memories within the Rule Integration Realm’s soul, and stripping some fragments was the limit.

Because cultivating was something almost every person in Rule Integration Realm did daily, the contents related to cultivation techniques within the soul were profoundly ingrained, almost becoming an instinct.

Thus, during the separation of fragmented souls, the acquisition of cultivation techniques actually went quite smoothly.

Incomplete and from an alien race, normally these cultivation techniques held little significance for the human race.

One reason is that they’re uncultivable, and relying on these incomplete techniques would hardly help deduce weaknesses within the techniques for exploitation.

However, for Chen Fei, as long as it was a cultivation technique, even if fragmented, he could rely on his panel to extract the essence and integrate it into his primary cultivation technique.

Taking the best from various schools could make Chen Fei’s primary cultivation technique increasingly strong.

The rules cultivated in Sui Luo’s technique overlapped with those of the human imperial sovereign’s inheritance and thus weren’t significantly beneficial to integrate.

On the other hand, the rules cultivated by You Zhi and Zhong Ye weren’t found within the human race.

You Zhi practiced Space Rules as well, not the “Big” or “Small,” but the “Actual.”

You Zhi could discern every single thing within thousands of miles, thanks to this Space Secondary Rule.

Relying on this Space Secondary Rule, You Zhi could not only clearly see the surroundings but even insightfully perceive various changes in an opponent’s moves.

Space is the foundation that carries most things in this world, even the Rules.

Thus, once one controlled this Space Secondary Rule “Actual,” many things would no longer hold secrets in their eyes.

Of course, You Zhi hadn’t reached this level yet, and sometimes seeing through everything didn’t mean one could break through it.

Just like how You Zhi faced Chen Fei’s attacks—he saw them clearly but couldn’t block them; the disparity in strength was too great and wasn’t something that could be compensated for by other means.

Chen Fei integrated You Zhi’s techniques into the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword. The Space Secondary Rules Chen Fei controlled instantly became three types, providing another substantial boost to Chen Fei’s battle strength.

Also, the Causality Secondary Rule studied by Zhong Ye could further enhance Chen Fei’s perception of danger and also help obscure himself within causality.

“Merge!”

As the three parts of Zhong Ye’s techniques integrated into the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword, the Skill Level of the sword dropped slightly but still remained within the stage of Perfection.

Clearly, this bit of technique content wasn’t enough to cause a qualitative change in the Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword, at best it was a slight enhancement.

The Desolate Universe God Devouring Sword became more eclectic, but for Chen Fei, the power of this technique grew stronger still.

Chen Fei, wearing a satisfied smile, shattered ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals within the Gathering Essence Array and entered the next round of cultivation.

If the Xuan Clan didn’t come, this tranquil cultivation would have also been a fine choice for Chen Fei.

However, the Wu Meng Clan’s effort to evade into the Black Stone Domain was predicated on the expectation that the Xuan Clan would not stop until they had exterminated the Wu Meng Clan, likely pursuing them even here.

Chen Fei had been cultivating in the Po Luo Mountain Range for not even a month when his waist token began to tremble, emitting a bright yellow light.

Chen Fei’s figure suddenly appeared in midair, staring ahead.

Here, Chen Fei could not see anything unusual, but through his newly acquired insight into the Space Secondary Rules, he could sense the space hundreds of millions of miles away was trembling.

Chen Fei did not know the reason for the trembling, but since the token was sending a warning, it was clear that the Xuan Clan’s massive army was coming.

Ultimately, due to the Wu Meng Clan, all races within the Black Stone Domain were dragged into the quagmire of war, facing the powerful Xuan Clan that had driven the Wu Meng Clan away.

Chen Fei began to retreat, planning to rendezvous with other Rule Integration Realm and Sun Moon Realm armies as previously arranged.

Sun Moon Realm armies still had a role in fights amongst the Rule Integration Realm.

After realizing that the Xuan Clan would not arrive so soon, the Wu Meng Clan ordered all races within the Black Stone Domain to each dispatch ten thousand Sun Moon Realm warriors to participate in the war within the Wu Meng Clan’s territory.

Now the Sun Moon Realm armies of various races were arrayed between the previously set first and second defensive lines.

The clashes between these armies were certainly not the most intense battlegrounds, but were undoubtedly the most brutal.

In such intense warfare, the lives of those in the Rule Integration Realm were cheap and could be lost at any moment, let alone those of lower cultivation realms like the Sun Moon Realm.

Chen Fei had retreated less than ten thousand miles before he sighted the Sun Moon Realm army, with other such armies from different areas also converging in this direction.

Chen Fei displayed his token and, after being verified by the Wu Meng Clan Rule Integration Realm, arrived above the army.

Here, hundreds of various races’ Rule Integration Realm cultivators had gathered, and Chen Fei flew to the human side.

“Senior Jiang!”

After nodding to the other Rule Integration Realm cultivators, Chen Fei approached Jiang Chengji, greeting him with a bow.

“There will be chaos soon. Be careful,” Jiang Chengji said with a frown.

This initial skirmish, normally, would be exploratory, and the top Open Heaven Realm powerhouses would not engage.

But even just battles among those of the Rule Integration Realm could be extremely dangerous in this chaotic situation.

Sometimes, when an opponent from the Xuan Clan of the Rule Integration Realm happens to pass nearby, they would attack you directly.

On the battlefield, there is no such thing as fairness—only the killing of enemies and trying to preserve oneself as much as possible.

For Chen Fei, who was in the early stages of the Rule Integration Realm, there really was no safety in an environment filled with numerous cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm.

Jiang Chengji did indeed intend to protect Chen Fei, but during the battle, whether he could even find Chen Fei remained a question.

If Jiang Chengji’s opponent was also at the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm and started fighting near Chen Fei, it would spell disaster for Chen Fei.

“The junior understands!” Chen Fei nodded.

In this chaotic battle, the goal was not how to kill more from the alien races but how to survive first.

This was true not only for the Sun Moon Realm but equally for the Rule Integration Realm.

Seeing Chen Fei take his advice to heart, Jiang Chengji’s brow slightly relaxed. He was most afraid that Chen Fei’s pride would make him ignore the warnings; history wasn’t devoid of talented young heroes who met early demises.

Jiang Chengji’s biggest worry was that Chen Fei would become one of them.

Hours passed, and the number of Sun Moon Realm armies below continued to grow, as did the number of Rule Integration Realm cultivators rushing from other areas.

“Xuan Clan vanguard, less than three hundred thousand miles away. Those who retreat from battle will be executed!”

Wu Ze, a Peak Rule Integration Realm cultivator from the Wu Meng Clan, hovered in the air, looking down over the Rule Integration Realm cultivators of Black Stone Domain, and pronounced gravely.

The Rule Integration Realm cultivators from the various races of the Black Stone Domain did not speak up. When facing the Wu Meng Clan, they didn’t have the right to object—obey or be killed, those were the only options.

“This battle, as long as you slay a cultivator of the same rank, you may withdraw willingly…” Wu Ze began to explain the rules of the engagement.

To kill an opponent of the same rank meant completion of the task; it allowed one to leave the frontlines, and the Wu Meng Clan even offered battle honors of the same rank, redeemable for rewards in the task hall.

Killing those a stage lower in the Rule Integration Realm was also acceptable, but you must kill three to withdraw.

For those at the early stages of the Rule Integration Realm, killing members of the Sun Moon Realm didn’t count, unless you annihilated an army formation consisting of a thousand from the Sun Moon Realm.

If one could not slay the opponent from the Rule Integration Realm, then one could only withdraw after both sides sounded the drum to end the battle.

The rules were simple to understand but certainly not easy to execute.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the vanguard of the Xuan Clan appeared within sight.
