Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In other realms of the Sun Moon Realm, such as in the early stages, it was completely incomprehensible why Chen Fei was so powerful. To the onlookers, even Yu Xiaoliang seemed nearly the same, despite being observers themselves.

In other realms of the Sun Moon Realm, one could discern some of the subtleties of the Dust Giant Body, but understanding the principles behind it was impossible at a glance.

Only Dao Yuefeng, at the peak of the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm and a human imperial sovereign, could instantly recognize the exceptional nature of Chen Fei’s protective divine ability once he exerted his power.

To say it was extraordinary might still be an understatement.

In Dao Yuefeng’s eyes, Chen Fei was a perfect blend of vital energy, spirit, and soul, with every flow of power radiating beauty.

Dao Yuefeng had seen many divine abilities, but this was the first time he had encountered such a protective divine ability.

Dao Yuefeng’s causal principles automatically activated, starting to deduce information about Chen Fei. After a moment, Dao Yuefeng’s expression slightly shifted.

Is he from the Boundless Sea?

Looking at Chen Fei’s information, Dao Yuefeng’s interest grew even stronger.

Achieving the early Sun Moon Realm in just over a hundred years of cultivation.

Such a speed of cultivation meant nothing among the powerful races in the Return to Nothing Realm.

The truly exceptional talents’ growth rates were unimaginable. Dao Yuefeng knew of a race in the center of the Return to Nothing Realm where the Sun Moon Realm was just the starting point and the Integration Realm was barely notable.

The Open Heaven Realm was the core strength of the race, and only those above the Eighth Tier could become strong figures within the race.

For other races in the Return to Nothing Realm, such a race seemed like a fantasy, hard to fathom.

What you strive for in a lifetime is merely the starting point for another race. What you see as an unattainable limit is just a common level of skill for those races.

That’s the reality!

You might think you were born with talent, but many things were already predestined from the start.

Predestined was the level you could reach in your lifetime and the current situation of humanity in the Return to Nothing Realm.

Chen Fei’s cultivation speed was nothing remarkable among strong races, but among humanity in the Return to Nothing Realm, it was quite exceptional and comparable to many geniuses in various forces.

The jade pendant at Dao Yuefeng’s waist moved slightly. In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared beside Dao Yuefeng and handed over a jade slip containing information about Chen Fei.

Entering the palace, no past grievances were pursued; this was the rule of the Qiankun Mansion.

Dao Yuefeng was merely interested in Chen Fei’s information and had no particular intention behind it.

As Dao Yuefeng reviewed more information about Chen Fei, the competition for the courtyards below continued.

Chen Fei stood calmly in front of the third courtyard, waiting for other challenges.

However, Chen Fei’s earlier sword strike had thoroughly dispelled any thoughts of challenging him.

Yu Xiaoliang was no nameless person; securing a spot in the top five courtyards was no issue.

The result was such that Chen Fei had swept Yu Xiaoliang out of the battle circle with a single sword strike. Even the most stubborn challengers would have no desire to face Chen Fei.

Soon, half an hour passed, and the competition for the 120 courtyards neared its end.

Those confident in their strength had already taken the stage from the start, as the Qiankun Mansion would automatically heal them after successful defense, making endurance battles irrelevant.

As for having their techniques understood by others, it was absurd.

If Sun Moon Realm divine abilities could be countered just by being seen a few times, then such power would be truly worthless.

“The courtyards you possess can accommodate some attendants in addition to yourself.”

Dao Yuefeng announced, “The first-place courtyard can house ten people, the second-place five, the third-place two, and the remaining courtyards can only house one person each.”

Dao Yuefeng then looked at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei’s expression slightly changed. Among so many at the Sun Moon Realm, he was likely the one with a large entourage.

Entering the Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei had no intention of bringing the people from Thousand Geese City with him, as this was strictly prohibited by the Qiankun Mansion.

If everyone did this, the Qiankun Mansion’s resources would be exhausted.

Chen Fei’s original plan was to enter the Qiankun Mansion first to resolve his black household issue and then allow the people from Thousand Geese City to settle in Sky Sea City.

Now that Sky Sea City was in a state of rebuilding, the people from Thousand Geese City would fit right in, and the procedures could be handled later.

The value of the courtyards that allowed others to practice had suddenly increased.

The third-place courtyard, with only two occupants, seemed too few.

If possible, Chen Fei naturally hoped his companions could have higher cultivation levels.

In terms of cultivation environment, no human race could match the current Qiankun Mansion.

Sect Leader Qu Qingsheng, his own master and senior brothers, and a few others—ten spots were barely sufficient.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei turned his gaze toward the top position.

Chen Fei suspected that Dao Yuefeng’s earlier words might have been directed specifically at him.

Dao Yuefeng’s gaze when he looked over had been completely unmasked. For such a powerful being, there was no need to hide anything from a younger Sun Moon Realm practitioner, and Chen Fei had caught this immediately.

Originally intending to keep a low profile, Chen Fei now realized that his strength might not permit that.

As if sensing Chen Fei’s gaze, Lu Shuzhang, the top performer of the early Sun Moon Realm, frowned.

With the surname Lu and such strength, the only match in Sky Sea City would be the currently popular Sky Resonance Court.

Lu Shuzhang was indeed from Sky Resonance Court, the eighth son of the newly ascended human sovereign, Lu Chaozhong.

With Lu Chaozhong having reached the peak of the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm, his offspring naturally had exceptional talent.

Lu Shuzhang, for instance, was at the pinnacle of the early Sun Moon Realm, not yet having broken through, but he was solidifying his foundation for future cultivation.

Given Sky Resonance Court’s current strength, Lu Shuzhang need not have come to Qiankun Mansion, but he still did.

In the competition of hundreds of ships, Lu Shuzhang wanted to be the strongest at his level, just like his father, and to eventually achieve the status of a human sovereign.

To achieve this, he could not just stay behind closed doors. He came to Qiankun Mansion to compete with all Sun Moon Realm practitioners and to stand out in the end to showcase his true talent.

“Want to challenge me? Come!”

Lu Shuzhang turned and faced Chen Fei directly, inviting him to a duel.

Chen Fei’s earlier display of the Dust Giant Body was indeed very strong. But Lu Shuzhang, as the descendant of a human sovereign, was certainly not lacking.

Lu Shuzhang was eager to personally test the power of that sword!

At Lu Shuzhang’s challenge, all Sun Moon Realm practitioners around focused their attention, and even many from other realms of the Sun Moon Realm turned their eyes toward them.

Everyone knew Lu Shuzhang’s background, and Chen Fei’s earlier sword strike had been quite impressive.

Because everyone was aware of Lu Shuzhang’s background, no one had challenged him since he took the stage.

It wasn’t due to fear of Lu Shuzhang’s background; after all, Qiankun Mansion had its peculiarities, and everyone knew that Lu Shuzhang was a human sovereign’s descendant—could someone really attempt to kill him?

As long as no one died, what happened in Qiankun Mansion would not be investigated.

The simple reason no one challenged Lu Shuzhang was that he was strong enough that other early Sun Moon Realm practitioners felt they could not defeat him.

Since they could not win, they had already mentally conceded, making further challenges unnecessary.

Chen Fei hadn’t initially intended to challenge, but given the substantial rewards for first place, he was determined to take it!

Chen Fei vanished from his original spot and appeared in the battle circle of the top courtyard.

Seeing Chen Fei actually challenge Lu Shuzhang, many people’s eyes lit up. They seized the opportunity to observe how far Lu Shuzhang, as a descendant of the sovereign, had truly reached.

“Please!” Chen Fei cupped his hands in greeting.

“Please!”

The Night God Blade appeared in Lu Shuzhang’s hand, its pitch-black blade angled towards the ground. The light gradually disappeared within a radius of several hundred miles in the battle circle.

Divine Ability: Reversal of Day and Night!

The Night God Blade possessed the divine ability of Reversal of Day and Night, one of the most renowned inheritances of Sky Resonance Court. Only direct descendants of Sky Resonance Court could master it.

In the pitch-black environment, Lu Shuzhang’s aura continuously grew stronger.

Dark Sovereign!

In the dark environment, Lu Shuzhang’s strength was greatly enhanced. This was somewhat similar to the Evil Clan.

However, the Evil Clan’s power was more inclined towards coldness and corruption.

In contrast, Sky Resonance Court’s Dark Sovereign was entirely focused on raw power.

This was a variant protective divine ability. Under Dark Sovereign, Lu Shuzhang’s recovery and strength would increase severalfold, particularly his recovery speed, which saw the most dramatic growth.

Defeating Lu Shuzhang in such an environment would be extremely challenging.

The surroundings were as dark as ink. Among the early Sun Moon Realm practitioners present, only a few could faintly see Chen Fei’s figure.

Lu Shuzhang’s figure, however, was completely shrouded by darkness.

Only experts at the mid-level Sun Moon Realm or higher could discern Lu Shuzhang’s figure, and that was only because they were outside the battle circle.

If one were within the battle circle, seeing clearly would be even more difficult.

As Lu Shuzhang’s cultivation level increased in the future, when he reached their level, it would become even harder to see him clearly.

This was the Reversal of Day and Night, Dark Sovereign!

“Clang!”

With a sound of sword ringing, the night around Chen Fei for several miles was suddenly driven away.

This wasn’t the extent to which Chen Fei could repel the darkness, but it was just right for him.

Sometimes, having greater power is not always better; sometimes, just the right amount is sufficient.

The Dust Giant Body appeared behind Chen Fei, with golden light encircling it, protecting Chen Fei’s body within.

Any attack on Chen Fei would have to first get past the Dust Giant Body.

“Roar!”

A roar that didn’t resemble a human voice came from the front. The next moment, a dark figure towering over ten miles appeared vaguely, followed by the Night God Blade, whose length was unknown, slashing towards Chen Fei.

As if the heavens and earth were dividing, one side of the Night God Blade radiated brilliance, while the other side was absolute darkness.

Day and night were clearly defined under this blade.
