Chapter 2239 Rapid Progress
Chapter 2239 Rapid Progress
Normally, this kind of advancement to a higher plane level shouldn't happen so quickly.
After all, the transformation of a plane involves the reconstruction of the world's origin and the improvement of its rules, which is an extremely complex process.
However, Chen Fei's Guixu Realm broke some of the norms.
Because, at the core of his Guixu Realm, the Night Demon Warrior was sitting cross-legged, using his powerful Heavenly Monarch Realm strength to continuously assist the Guixu Realm's primordial will in refining the Chaos Heavenly Stone.
Under the infusion and catalysis of the Night Demon Warrior's all-out Heavenly Monarch power, the refining speed of the Chaos Heavenly Stone was increased by more than ten times.
In addition, the Chaos Stone itself was of extremely high quality and contained abundant primordial power, which allowed the Guixu Realm to complete this transformation in a short period of time.
Chen Fei sat cross-legged at the source of the most abundant spiritual energy in the center of the Guixu Realm.
With a thought, a massive amount of Dao Crystals surged forth from all directions like a tidal wave, piling up into a small mountain in front of him.
Dao Crystals are almost the highest-grade energy crystals that can be naturally produced on the Primordial Continent. They contain extremely pure primordial energy, making them an excellent treasure for cultivation and recovery for cultivators below the Heavenly Monarch Realm.
However, for Chen Fei, who has already entered the Xuanqiong Heavenly Monarch Realm, ordinary Dao Crystals are no longer sufficient.
The energy required for cultivation and combat by experts at the Heavenly Monarch Realm is far greater and purer. What they need is Chaos Dao Crystals.
Chaos Dao Crystals are energy crystals that are more advanced than ordinary Dao Crystals.
It is not naturally produced, but requires a powerful expert at the Heavenly Monarch Realm or above to use their own understanding and control of the origin of the Great Dao to introduce ordinary Dao crystals into the origin of the Great Dao for secondary tempering and purification in order to condense high-grade energy crystals.
This process sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to do.
This is because it requires cultivators to be able to accurately communicate with and draw upon the power of the Great Dao's origin, and to stably infuse that enormous and terrifying power into the Dao Crystal, thereby transforming and sublimating it.
This is an extremely difficult challenge for cultivators who have just entered the Heavenly Monarch Realm and are still relatively unfamiliar with the control of the Great Dao Origin.
Chen Fei took a deep breath and pushed the Myriad Soul Source Technique to its limit, allowing his soul to establish a closer connection with the omnipresent origin of the Great Dao around him.
Then, he stretched out his finger and gently tapped the mountain of Dao Crystals in front of him.
"Om..."
A vast primordial power, drawn by him, cascaded down like a waterfall, completely enveloping the pile of Dao crystals.
The Dao Crystals began to tremble violently and emit a buzzing sound the moment they came into contact with this power of the Great Dao's origin.
Their internal primordial energy structure began to undergo drastic changes under the impact and transformation of the power of the Great Dao's origin.
Some more refined energy structures began to condense and take shape within it.
This process demands an extremely high level of control over one's soul and power.
Although it was Chen Fei's first attempt, he managed to stabilize the situation thanks to the powerful soul control of the Myriad Soul Source Technique and his initial understanding of the origin of the Great Dao.
However, his speed is indeed very slow.
The mountain of Dao Crystals in front of him was decreasing at a visible rate.
However, only a few dozen Chaos Dao Crystals were transformed, which floated quietly to the side, emitting a more profound light than ordinary Dao Crystals.
The conversion rate is approximately several hundred to one.
In other words, it takes hundreds of ordinary Dao Crystals to transform into one Chaos Dao Crystal.
Moreover, this process requires complete concentration and cannot be distracted in the slightest.
Otherwise, if the power gets out of control, not only will these Dao Crystals be swept away by the violent power of the Great Dao Origin and reduced to nothing, but he himself may also suffer a backlash.
Several hours later, tens of thousands of Chaos Dao Crystals had accumulated in front of Chen Fei.
He slowly let out a sigh of relief and stopped what he was doing. The high-intensity output of his spiritual energy for several consecutive hours had left him feeling somewhat tired.
With a thought, the Night Demon Warrior who had been sitting cross-legged at the core of the Ruins of Return appeared silently beside him.
"You'll be in charge of this matter from now on," Chen Fei instructed.
Two deep lights shone in the Night Demon Warrior's eyes. He silently walked to the pile of Dao Crystals that had not yet been transformed, stretched out his arm, and began to take over Chen Fei's work.
Although the Night Demon Warrior did not have a complete divine soul, his understanding of the origin of the Great Dao was exactly the same as Chen Fei's.
He is just right to perform this repetitive energy conversion work that requires precise control.
"simplify!"
"Simplification of the Heaven-Devouring Creation Technique...Simplification successful...Heaven-Devouring Creation Technique → Heaven-Devouring Divine Forging!"
"Simplification of the Myriad Souls Source Technique is in progress... Simplification successful... Myriad Souls Source Technique → Myriad Transformations Return to Truth Spiritual Mirror!"
The tens of thousands of Chaos Dao Crystals that had just been transformed vanished in an instant. Chen Fei sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.
A vast amount of spiritual energy enveloped all directions as the Devouring Heaven Divine Forging and the Myriad Transformations Returning to Truth Spiritual Mirror began to operate smoothly within his body.
As if a long-accumulated floodgate had been opened, a torrent of insights surged into his mind like a tidal wave.
Some of these insights concerned how the Devouring Heaven Creation Technique could more efficiently devour and refine various energies, while others concerned how to better integrate the Chaos Dao Body with the Devouring Heaven Divine Forging Technique.
Some are about how the Myriad Souls Source Technique splits thoughts to condense a mental mirror, while others are about how to combine the Nine Thoughts Transformation Technique with the deductive abilities of the Myriad Transformations Returning to Truth Spiritual Mirror...
Within Chen Fei's sea of consciousness, it seemed as if countless versions of himself were simultaneously conducting deductions and rehearsals.
As these insights were continuously absorbed and digested, Chen Fei's understanding of the Devouring Heaven Creation Technique and the Myriad Souls Source Technique deepened at a visible speed.
That initial level of proficiency, which was just beginner level, began to steadily climb upwards.
Early stage of learning... Mid-stage of learning... Late stage of learning...
He is only one step away from reaching the minor mastery level.
Two days later, Chen Fei appeared in the quiet room of the Dan Chen Sect's residence.
He had not yet fully mastered the two new cultivation techniques to the Great Perfection level. The reason Chen Fei emerged from seclusion was because today was the day the Dan Chen Sect members would leave the capital and return to their sect.
After leaving the Dan Chen Sect's residence, the group arrived at the docking area outside the capital. The next moment, the Zhenyuan Palace appeared, hovering above the plaza, waiting for the group to board.
As everyone flew into the Zhenyuan Hall, Zhang Duchuan waved his hand, and the Zhenyuan Hall slowly rose, transforming into a streak of light that cut through the sky and sped towards the Danchen Sect's mountain gate.
A day later, when the swirling gates of the Dan Chen Sect finally came into view, smiles appeared in the eyes of all the disciples.
When the Zhenyuan Hall slowly descended onto the huge plaza in front of the main peak of the Danchen Sect, the entire Danchen Sect erupted in cheers.
Countless disciples, having already received the news, spontaneously gathered around the square, eagerly awaiting its arrival.
When he saw Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu walking out of Zhenyuan Hall side by side, his long-suppressed passion erupted like a volcano.
"Senior Brother Chen Fei, Senior Sister Cao."
"The leader! The leader!"
The deafening cheers echoed through the sky.
Winning the Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects is an unprecedented and glorious achievement for the Danchen Sect, a glory worthy of being recorded in the sect's history.
And this honor was brought to them by the young man in the blue robe who looked so young.
Inside the main hall of the main peak, the sect leader of Danchen Sect and all the elders had been waiting for a long time.
The sect leader was a middle-aged man with a refined and scholarly demeanor, wearing a black Daoist robe embroidered with the emblem of the Danchen Sect, and his aura was as deep as the sea.
He looked down at Chen Fei and the others, a smile of immense satisfaction and appreciation on his face.
"Your performance in this Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects has far exceeded the expectations of me and all the elders."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and streams of light flew out from his sleeve, hovering in front of Chen Fei and the others. These were seventeenth-grade spiritual materials, each radiating various colors and containing pure Daoist essence.
Each one is a rare treasure that is hard to find elsewhere.
"These seventeenth-grade spiritual materials are an extra reward from the sect for you."
The sect leader smiled and said, "I hope you can make good use of these resources and go further and higher on your cultivation path in the future."
Chen Fei undoubtedly had the most level 17 spiritual materials in front of him. The others didn't have as many, but at least each of them had a portion.
Half an hour later, Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu left the main hall of the peak. Instead of returning directly to their residence, they went side by side to the Scripture Pavilion of the Danchen Sect.
After reaching the Heavenly Monarch Realm, their authority within the sect was greatly enhanced.
For them now, most of the cultivation techniques in the Sutra Repository are open to them, and there are no longer any restrictions.
As long as they don't pass on the techniques, they can exchange as much as they want, and no contribution points are required.
Of course, for most cultivators who have just entered the Heavenly Monarch Realm, a suitable 17th-tier top-grade inheritance is enough for them to spend thousands or tens of thousands of years studying and cultivating.
Everyone understands the principle that you can't bite off more than you can chew.
Typically, they will wait until they have cultivated their natal cultivation technique to the peak of the Heavenly Monarch Realm and have reached the limit of advancement before considering cultivating other techniques, drawing on the strengths of others, and seeking an opportunity to break through to a higher realm.
Chen Fei arrived at the area in the Scripture Pavilion where physical cultivation techniques were stored.
Compared to the grand scale of the Divine Capital Cultivation Hall, which boasts hundreds of inheritances, the Dan Chen Sect naturally has far fewer 17th-tier top-grade physique inheritances in its collection.
However, Danchen Sect is one of the 108 sects, and it also has a Taichu Daoyuan Realm expert in charge. Over the years, it has accumulated dozens of sects.
These traditions are sealed within jade slips or stone tablets of various colors, quietly suspended on the bookshelf, exuding a variety of auras, some profound, some violent, and some resilient.
Chen Fei did not pick and choose, nor did he carefully sense the specific content of each inheritance.
He said directly to the spirit of the Sutra Repository, "I have exchanged all the physical inheritances here."
The spirit of the Scripture Pavilion was an elderly man with white hair. Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing more, nor did he offer any obstruction or criticism.
Each Heavenly Ruler has their own cultivation method and path to choose.
Since the sect's rules don't restrict this, he, as a spirit, naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business.
He simply nodded and waved his hand, and the dozens of jade slips and stone tablets that sealed the inheritance of physical strength flew up automatically and fell into Chen Fei's hands.
After exchanging for the physical inheritance, Chen Fei immediately went to the area where soul-type inheritances were stored.
He was equally unceremonious, exchanging all twenty-odd top-grade 17th-tier divine soul inheritances collected in the Scripture Pavilion for his own use.
Cao Feiyu, on the other hand, was not as greedy as Chen Fei.
She simply found the seventeenth-level sword cultivation advancement inheritance that was in the Dan Chen Sect's collection and was in line with the Heavenly Sword Technique, and then left the Scripture Pavilion satisfied.
The two met at the entrance of the Sutra Repository and then returned together to their cave dwelling, Cuiping Peak.
Upon returning to Cuiping Peak, Chen Fei did not immediately begin his secluded cultivation. He and Cao Feiyu first visited Wei Zhongqian.
When Wei Zhongqian saw Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu visiting together, he was taken aback at first, then a happy smile appeared on his face. But soon, that smile was tinged with an undisguised restraint and awkwardness.
Because, standing in front of him were two powerful experts at the Xuanqiong Heavenly Monarch Realm.
His cultivation level remained at the late stage of the Tai Cang Realm, still a long way from the half-step Heavenly Monarch realm. This huge gap in cultivation level made him feel a sense of pressure.
Chen Fei noticed Wei Zhongqian's restraint. He didn't say much, but just casually found a place to sit down as usual, and then started chatting about some of his experiences and interesting stories in the capital.
Cao Feiyu was also present, occasionally chiming in with a few words, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
As the conversation deepened, Wei Zhongqian gradually relaxed.
Having weathered many storms, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
However, the fleeting look of envy deep in his eyes could not be completely concealed, no matter what.
After bidding farewell to Wei Zhongqian, Chen Fei went to visit Le Boyang and Kuang Lingyun, two sect founders who had taken good care of him back in the Xuanyu Realm.
Le Boyang and Kuang Lingyun had already learned that Chen Fei had won the Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects and successfully broken through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm.
When they saw Chen Fei standing in front of them, both of them showed extremely complicated expressions.
There was a sense of relief, pride, emotion, and a touch of indescribable amazement.
They still remembered that when Chen Fei first left the Xuan Yu Realm and came to the Dan Chen Sect, he was only a fifteenth-level cultivator.
How long has it been?
It seemed like only a blink of an eye, and the young man who once needed their protection had grown into a Heavenly Monarch Realm expert, a realm they never dared to dream of back then.
Such talent and such speed are astonishing.
"Okay...okay."
Le Boyang patted Chen Fei on the shoulder, his voice a little hoarse but full of satisfaction, "Being able to see your achievements today, I have no regrets in this life."
Kuang Lingyun stood to the side, nodding with a smile, her eyes filled with emotion. (End of Chapter)
