Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 947: Breakthrough, Middle Stage of the Sun Moon Realm!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

There were many factors determining the strength of a person in the Sun Moon Realm, but they generally fell into three categories.

Taking the same realm as an example, these factors were: the cultivation state of the inner source space, the inherent strength of the divine abilities, and the profundity of the cultivation method.

Any significant disparity in any of these aspects could lead to a huge difference in power. If two or more aspects were lacking, even within the same realm, one might be overwhelmed.

Besides these three aspects, another significant factor was the power of mysterious treasures.

A person in the early stages of the Sun Moon Realm wielding a top-grade mysterious treasure would naturally have exceptional combat power.

However, using a mysterious treasure far beyond one’s realm could present a prominent issue: the inability to perfectly control the power.

Often, this problem was minor and could even be ignored.

But in some special situations, uncontrollable power could become a huge vulnerability.

Chen Fei stood in the training room, sensing the condition of the source points within him, and a smile appeared on his face.

From breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm in Immortal Cloud City to now having his source points reach the critical point took less than two years.

Such a cultivation speed sounded almost unbelievable.

When Chen Fei arrived in Sky Sea City, his most optimistic estimate was to reach the critical point of the source points within ten years.

This judgment was based on the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique, which required several years to achieve Great Completion.

Although the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique was considered a low-grade method in the Sun Moon Realm, after reaching Great Completion, the accumulation of source points would significantly increase.

With the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique at Great Completion, reaching the peak of the Sun Moon Realm was not a major issue.

At most, his combat power would have been relatively ordinary among the same realm, and being invincible at the same level or fighting beyond his level would have been unrealistic.

However, ordinary combat power did not affect realm advancement. Each realm’s barrier might have caused slight delays, but it was not like many in the Sun Moon Realm who were stuck at one level for hundreds of years without breaking through.

Now, due to the opening of the Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei completed this step eight years ahead of schedule.

The opening of the Qiankun Mansion was due to a major crisis facing the human race, forcing the emperors to mobilize the entire race, accelerating the growth of Sun Moon Realm practitioners.

If this crisis could not be overcome, the human race might have become a vassal of other races with no way to escape.

However, this crisis also became a significant opportunity for many in the Sun Moon Realm, and for Chen Fei, even more so.

During his time in the Boundless Sea, Chen Fei had never experienced such comfortable cultivation.

The resources needed for each realm were all earned through his own efforts.

Chen Fei had once wondered what it would be like if he were now part of a top-tier power.

With a talent panel, Chen Fei’s talent was undoubtedly the strongest among his peers.

There would certainly have been other troubles, such as envy, jealousy, and even exclusion or persecution from peers.

But these were nothing compared to having complete methods and resources.

Because when others started plotting against him, they would suddenly have realized that Chen Fei was already far above where he once stood, having ascended to a higher level.

The Qiankun Mansion was a place even more comfortable than a top-tier power.

Here, under the watchful eyes of the human emperors, all that was required of Sun Moon Realm practitioners was to fully showcase their talents.

Any underhanded tactics were not applicable within the Qiankun Mansion.

After only four months in the Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei had traversed the path that other Sun Moon Realm practitioners would have taken hundreds of years to complete.

And this was not the end; it was merely the beginning.

Chen Fei waved his right hand, and the Jade Dew Wood appeared before him. He swallowed it down.

Instantly, Chen Fei’s soul became tranquil, and he noticed that the proficiency of his Indestructible Vision began to rise rapidly, moving towards the Great Completion stage.

Compared to the first time he took the Jade Dew Wood, this time Chen Fei indeed felt the effects had weakened considerably.

Advancing the Indestructible Vision from perfection to Great Completion required much more proficiency than the initial and advanced stages.

A single Jade Dew Wood could not directly elevate the Indestructible Vision to Great Completion.

However, Jade Dew Wood was the most potent material for enhancing comprehension of divine abilities available to those in the early Sun Moon Realm.

While the Qiankun Mansion’s Treasure Depository contained other, even better materials, they could harm the soul of someone in the early Sun Moon Realm.

Although the soul could be restored using other methods, the effectiveness of those materials would be significantly reduced.

Materials that could enhance comprehension of divine abilities were already rare, and many had usage limits; once the limit was exceeded, they became ineffective.

Using such materials in the early Sun Moon Realm was wasteful and detrimental to future growth.

Because, by the time one reached the mid Sun Moon Realm, they might find no usable materials left.

Therefore, Chen Fei was not in a hurry. With the special environment of the Qiankun Mansion amplifying his insights, it would take at most two months for him to elevate the Indestructible Vision to Great Completion.

This speed was already incredibly fast compared to other Sun Moon Realm geniuses.

Time seemed to stand still in cultivation. Immersed in a task, one rarely felt the passage of time.

Chen Fei attended classes daily, earning performance points, and spent the rest of his time continuously improving the Indestructible Vision.

As the proficiency of the Indestructible Vision approached Great Completion, the resonance with the Qiankun Cauldron also grew stronger, accelerating the proficiency’s growth.

A virtuous cycle ensued, and finally, with half a month remaining before the first major elimination, the Indestructible Vision reached Great Completion.

This was half a month earlier than originally estimated.

In the cultivation room, Chen Fei sat cross-legged, his aura fluctuating continuously. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan vital energy roiled violently at times and calmed down at others.

Chen Fei sensed the subtle changes within his body and gradually understood.

Previously, Chen Fei’s vital essence and soul could be converted into each other, but the conversion had specific ratios.

The most crucial soul required four parts of Vital Power or blood essence to be converted into one part of soul power.

The exact ratio was not important; the conversion itself was the key feature.

Now, as the Indestructible Vision transformed from a divine seed to a complete divine ability, the conversion still existed but with a significant change in ratio.

Henceforth, one part of Vital Power or blood essence could directly convert into one part of soul power.

In Chen Fei’s body, vital essence and soul no longer had specific distinctions but had truly become a single type of power.

For Chen Fei, this meant he no longer needed to worry about running out of soul power.

From the Mountain Sea Realm onwards, the soul was a crucial focus of cultivation for martial artists, as it could unleash immense power.

In the Sun Moon Realm, this remained unchanged. Whether it was the Wild Soul Technique or other imperial inheritances, they aimed to use the soul to break limits as much as possible without harming oneself.

This allowed divine abilities and techniques to unleash their most powerful force.

Chen Fei’s current Wild Night Star Sword, with its Soul Release, was truly becoming a conventional secret technique.

Other practitioners in the Sun Moon Realm would only release and burn their soul in times of crisis.

Chen Fei, on the other hand, could activate Soul Release as soon as he began fighting, replenishing any soul expenditure directly from his Vital Power.

This was the Indestructible Vision—Chen Fei’s ultimate divine ability, perfected to its peak during his time in the Mountain Sea Realm!

Chen Fei formed a hand seal with his right hand in front of his chest, summoning the Eternal Night Manifestation behind him. The Vital Energy in the cultivation room surged violently, converging towards the Eternal Night Manifestation.

After absorbing and refining the Vital Energy, the Eternal Night Manifestation channeled it into Chen Fei’s body.

“Break!”

Chen Fei’s expression grew serious as the light sphere representing the Indestructible Vision suddenly moved and silently struck the source point.

To advance to the mid Sun Moon Realm, the complete divine ability, and the critical source point, he needed to strike the source point with the divine ability.

This transformation would turn the source point from a single point into a towering pillar, elevating both the quality and quantity of Vital Power in the Sun Moon Realm.

“Boom!”

Chen Fei’s body trembled slightly as a ripple spread from within him.

Under the power of the Indestructible Vision, the source point transformed into a towering pillar.

The vast Vital Energy surged crazily towards the Eternal Night Manifestation, which then purified it into Vital Power and pushed it into the towering pillar within Chen Fei’s body.

The Vital Power within the pillar increased at an astonishing rate.

With such a towering pillar, the strength and endurance of the Vital Power in the mid Sun Moon Realm would improve significantly.

In contrast to the cautious breakthrough barriers required for other practitioners in the early Sun Moon Realm, Chen Fei experienced no turbulence, as if everything were proceeding smoothly.

In the courtyard, Qu Qingsheng and others looked at the swirling Vital Energy above the cultivation room, their faces filled with delight.

Such a scene was a clear indication that Chen Fei’s cultivation level had advanced, causing this remarkable phenomenon.

Although they understood that with Chen Fei’s talent, reaching the mid Sun Moon Realm was only a matter of time, the rapid transition from the early to mid Sun Moon Realm still felt surreal.

After all, they had witnessed Chen Fei break through from the Mountain Sea Realm to the Sun Moon Realm at Primordial Mountain.

Outside the courtyard, many Sun Moon Realm practitioners also observed the scene with mixed feelings.

A breakthrough! With such talent, how could one not feel envious?

Having dominated most mid Sun Moon Realm practitioners while still in the early stages, how much more powerful would Chen Fei become now that he had advanced to the mid Sun Moon Realm?

In half a month, when the courtyard would be reshuffled, which mid Sun Moon Realm practitioner would Chen Fei challenge?

“Chen Fei’s second divine seed has just condensed, while Duan Shipan and others have already perfected their second divine abilities. It won’t be that easy.”

Someone, looking at the vortex in the sky, whispered to those around him.
